Our Approach. In response to the economic challenges facing the State, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) is seeking support to assess the economic and fiscal impacts of the pandemic on the State’s economy and to develop strategies to support the State’s immediate and long-term economic recovery. Specifically, NJEDA is seeking support across 12 core tasks (Exhibit 1). In the following section, we describe how we will successfully launch each of these tasks with clear deliverables. Per NJEDA’s request, we have included four timing options for delivering Task 3-7 activities and deliverables based on various timing windows outlined in the Request for Cost Proposal. Our approach includes three core workstreams to complete the 12 tasks outlined in NJEDA’s scope, with several options to address the Task 3-7 timing options: • Workstream 1: Economic and fiscal impact assessment • Workstream 2: Economic recovery planning, advice, and coordination • Workstream 3: Economic recovery strategy Base Period (8 weeks total for Tasks 1-12, includes 2 weeks of Tasks 3-7 support) Option 1 (Base Period plus additional 6 weeks of Tasks 3-7 support (completing Tasks 3-7 in ~2 months) Option 2 (Base Period plus additional 14 weeks of Tasks 3-7 support (completing Tasks 3-7 in ~4 months) Option 3 (Base Period plus additional 22 weeks of Tasks 3-7 support (completing Tasks 3-7 in ~6 months) 2020 1) Analyze economic impact of COVID-19 pandemic and he state of emergency on the NJ economy 2) Assess job losses and firm closures by industry, lost wages and income 3) Assess other economic and fiscal impacts to the State 4) Provide strategic support to the Au hority in all facets of New Jersey’s recovery 5) Research and advise on resources for appropriate resolution services 6) Provide guidance and planning, structuring, organizing and staffing for New Jersey’s short- and long-term economic recovery plans 7) Provide planning advice and execution of the response, recovery and mitigation plan in conjunction with the Governor’s designee 8) Advise on productive working relationships with non-governmental organizations 9) Advise on productive relationships with statewide and local business groups 10) Revise and refine 2018 State of Innovation: A Stronger and Fairer NJ Economy comprehensive economic development strategy

Our Approach. There is a strong history of partnership working in pan-Lancashire. Local CSPs take a pragmatic and flexible approach to joint working on shared priorities on a thematic and geographical footprint. Our approach will include: Closer collaboration with other partnerships (including the Safeguarding Boards, Children and Young People's Trust and the Health and Wellbeing Board) to addressing shared priorities, particularly the contributory factors and determinants that influence offending and vulnerability. Continually developing and improving links and activities with all local authorities to support local residents and better understand the geographic and demographic diversity of Lancashire. Working with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) to deliver community safety activity that supports the aims and priorities of the Police and Crime Plan. A commitment to taking an 'early help' approach to stop the development of issues that can often become more significant challenges. Effective commissioning of services is central to delivering key activity. Feedback from those services to CSPs will be used to further inform local action planning.

Our Approach. As shown in section 2.2, to modify a program that is wo- ven may cause a problem. It is useful to verify the correct- ness of the weaving. As in the example of the Line.moveBy method in the previous section, the behavior of a program is changed by weaving. Consequently, we can verify the correctness of the weaving by verifying the correctness of the behavior change. Such behavior change during weaving can be rep- resented as the program behavior before and after weaving. Therefore, it is effective to specify this program behavior before and after weaving and to verify whether the behav- ior specification is satisfied. Program behavior can be rep- resented as a property of the control and data flow graph of the program. For instance, a control flow graph of the Line.moveBy method after weaving is shown in Figure

Our Approach. 4.1.1 We have an internationally benchmarked and widely admired curriculum which, by combining intellectual rigour in the student’s chosen discipline with a breadth of multidisciplinary experience, ensures that our graduates leave university as critical thinkers and effective communicators, well able to face the next stage of their careers. 4.1.2 In 2008/09 we carried out a fundamental review of the undergraduate curriculum, through our Curriculum Reform project. This 18 month project has resulted in students being provided with the advantages of restructured and enhanced degree programmes, wider student choice, more flexible entry and exit, and enhanced student support and facilities. 4.1.3 Employers, professional bodies, current students, prospective students and their parents, schools and other interested parties all contributed to the review and to helping shape the new programmes.

Our Approach. As illustrated in Figure 3, we carry out our research activities in WP4 based on a bottom-up approach. First, we go through a large set of smart city use cases and analyse their requirements based on the data processing flows they need in order to produce their required results. After that, we try to abstract their concrete requirements into some common and generic patterns, which form the basis of our edge programming model. To realize such a programming model, we design and implement the XXxxX.xx edge computing framework, which provides specific interfaces for service developers to design and operator their IoT services. In parallel we can carry out some studies to optimize the performance of the core algorithms in such a framework, such as task allocation algorithm or task migration algorithm. Once the initial framework is finished, we start to validate its programming model and interfaces with some implemented use cases, such as smart parking use case, lost child finding use case.

Our Approach. We leverage the ordering capabilities of the Blockchain by presenting a protocol that both sends and receives information from the Blockchain to accomplish the goal of publishing a value on the Blockchain that is representative of the values from all the data sources. Towards computing a representative value, we redefine the notion of agreement. We say that two nodes agree with each other if the values that they obtained from data sources are within a pre-defined parameter called agreement distance. We say that a set of values form a coherent

Our Approach. We introduce a probabilistic approach to find paths belonging to different homotopy classes for socially- aware robot motion planning. Our approach is com- plete, it can find all the possible paths, namely all the homotopy classes implicitly encoded in the navigation graph built from a Voronoi diagram that describes the scenario. Having a set of possible paths, we choose the best one according to a cost that considers social interactions between humans.

  • Approach All investments are to be made using the value approach by investing in companies at prices below their underlying long term values to protect capital from loss and earn income over time and provide operating income as needed. With regard to equities, no attempt is made to forecast the economy or the stock market. The manager will attempt to identify financially sound companies with good potential profitability which are selling at large discounts to their intrinsic value. Appropriate measures of low prices may consist of some or all of the following characteristics: low price earnings ratios, high dividend yields, significant discounts to book value, and free cash flow. Downside protection is obtained by seeking a margin of safety in terms of a sound financial position and a low price in relation to intrinsic value. Appropriate measures of financial integrity which are regularly monitored, include debt/equity ratios, financial leverage, asset turnover, profit margin, return on equity, and interest coverage. As a result of this bargain hunting approach, it is anticipated that purchases will be made when economic and issue-specific conditions are less than ideal and sentiment is uncertain or negative. Conversely, it is expected that gains will be realized when issue-specific factors are positive and sentiment is buoyant. The investment time horizon is one business cycle (approximately 3-5 years). As regards bonds, the approach is similar. No attempt is made to forecast the economy or interest rates. The manager will attempt to purchase attractively priced bonds offering yields better than Treasury bonds with maturities of 10 years or less that are of sound quality i.e. whose obligations are expected to be fully met as they come due. We do not regard rating services as being an unimpeachable source for assessing credit quality any more than we would regard a broker's recommendation on a stock as being necessarily correct. In any form of investment research and evaluation, there is no substitute for the reasoned judgement of the investment committee and its managers.

  • Agreement Flexibility 8.1 An employer and employee covered by this enterprise agreement may agree to make an individual flexibility arrangement to vary the effect of terms of the agreement if: (a) the agreement deals with 1 or more of the following matters: (i) arrangements about when work is performed; (ii) overtime rates; (iii) penalty rates; (iv) allowances; (v) leave loading; and (b) the arrangement meets the genuine needs of the employer and employee in relation to 1 or more of the matters mentioned in paragraph (a); and (c) the arrangement is genuinely agreed to by the employer and employee. 8.2 The employer must ensure that the terms of the individual flexibility arrangement: (a) are about permitted matters under section 172 of the Fair Work Act 2009; and (b) are not unlawful terms under section 194 of the Fair Work Act 2009; and (c) result in the employee being better off overall than the employee would be if no arrangement was made. 8.3 The employer must ensure that the individual flexibility arrangement: (a) is in writing; and (b) includes the name of the employer and employee; and (c) is signed by the employer and employee and if the employee is under 18 years of age, signed by a parent or guardian of the employee; and (d) includes details of: (i) the terms of the enterprise agreement that will be varied by the arrangement; and (ii) how the arrangement will vary the effect of the terms; and (iii) how the employee will be better off overall in relation to the terms and conditions of his or her employment as a result of the arrangement; and (e) states the day on which the arrangement commences. 8.4 The employer must give the employee a copy of the individual flexibility arrangement within 14 days after it is agreed to. 8.5 The employer or employee may terminate the individual flexibility arrangement: (a) by giving no more than 28 days written notice to the other party to the arrangement; or (b) if the employer and employee agree in writing—at any time.

  • Profitability The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by XXXX under the Agreement. The Board considered the estimated costs to XXXX, and pre-tax profits realized by XXXX, from advising the DWS Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of DIMA and its affiliates with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board and the Fee Consultant reviewed XXXX’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the pre-tax profits realized by XXXX in connection with the management of the Fund were not unreasonable. The Board also reviewed certain publicly available information regarding the profitability of certain similar investment management firms. The Board noted that, while information regarding the profitability of such firms is limited (and in some cases is not necessarily prepared on a comparable basis), DIMA and its affiliates’ overall profitability with respect to the DWS Funds (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by XXXX and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of most comparable firms for which such data was available. Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund and whether the Fund benefits from any economies of scale. The Board noted that the Fund’s investment management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing between the Fund and DIMA of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Fund at current asset levels.
