The Benefits. Developing a network of charging points will help to reduce carbon emissions as well as contributing to the local economy as it is intended to place charging points in locations that will encourage visits to the town whilst charging takes place. It is recognised that not all residents have off street parking and will therefore be reliant on communal charging points, which the project aims to provide. Representatives of the three towns have been given the task of identifying locations suitable for visitor and communal charging points. Xxx Needs will co-ordinate the responses and work with the Powys CC Regeneration Team to develop the project as the Arwain “Supporting Communities” Project finishes at the end of June 2019. Officer – Xxx Xxxxxx xxx.xxxxxx@xxxx.xxx.xx Brecon and Xxxxxx hosted the 84th Urdd Eisteddfod at the Royal Welsh Showground at the end of May. The event is the biggest youth festival in Europe first held in 1929 and attracts 15,000 competitors between the ages of 7 and 24. Competitions include recitation, singing, dancing, photography, ceramics, and pottery. 90,000 visitors attended the eisteddfod during the 6 days of competition. It would not be possible to run an event of this magnitude without the help of a significant number of volunteers, including: • 140 Stewards who helped to fill around 600 stewarding shifts throughout the week. They were responsible for well-being and safety of everyone on the Eisteddfod site, including visitors, competitors, staff, volunteers, and contractors. Helping out generally - especially in the Welcome Centre, Main Pavilion, Ticket Booths, in preliminaries, and other specific locations as necessary • 8 Supervisors (Team Leaders) worked throughout the Eisteddfod week, taking responsibility for a specific location on site and managing a team of stewards. • 30 Cynllun Croeso Volunteers, usually members of the Urdd Youth Committee. Welcoming members of the public to Brecon and Radnorshire and to the Eisteddfod.

The organisers of the Eisteddfod met with the Supporting Communities Development Officer in September 2017 to discuss their ...
The Benefits. In the paper presented under topic 5 it was demonstrated how SMEs can benefit from the patent system in at least these ways: They can:
1. Use patent information as a tool in product development and in marketing;
2. Use patent protection thus obtaining • Market position improvement on a local market; • Market position improvement on the global market; • Improvement of the competence of the enterprise; • Opening the door for licensing and internationalisation. Although all of these benefits are important there is hardly any doubt that the typical business manager will focus on • Market position improvement on a local market • Market position improvement on the global market His very simplified consideration may lead him to conclude, that a patent is a marketing If we agree to this somewhat simplified conclusion, at least we are now speaking a businessman’s language. He knows what a marketing tool is, and he can evaluate it as such. Marketing people – even in SMEs – are trained in predicting the sales potential, turn over and generated profit in various market scenarios, and they will be able to estimate the outcome of various “what-if” situations. Considering the successful use of the patent system is the same as asking: • What if we were the only ones on the market in this country for the next 5 years? (anticipating that the technology under all circumstances has a short market life time) • What if we were the only ones on the market in this country for the next 15 years? (anticipating a strong national patent and a long market life time) • What if we were the only ones on the market in our part of the world for the next 5 years? • What if we were the only ones on the market in our part of the world for the next 15 years? • What if we were the only ones on the world market for the next 5 years? • What if we were the only ones on the world market for the next 15 years? The answers to these questions will depend a lot on • The strength of the company (a strong company can more easily market on distant markets); • The accessibility of distant markets (Information Technology related markets are easier to access than, e.g., the market for concrete elements). In most cases, however, SMEs will not be able to profit from distant markets, so the answers to the questions might be as illustrated below: Total generated profit as a function of various protection scenarios High Profit Low profit No protection National 5 years National 15 years Regional 5 years Regional 1...

The Benefits. For Employees hired after April 26, 2007, and once they become eligible for Non-occupational Accident and Sickness benefits, the amount of weekly benefits will be computed by multiplying 18 hours times the current wage rate. For Employees hired prior to April 26, 2007, and once they become eligible for Non-occupational Accident and Sickness benefits, the amount of weekly benefits will be the greater of 18 hours times the current wage rate or the following schedule: An Employee who is receiving benefits under this Article IV on a date when new maximum benefits become effective, as shown above, will be eligible to receive the new maximum benefits if his or her average hourly earnings qualify for the maximum benefits.

The amount of weekly accident and sickness benefits otherwise payable will be reduced for each week in excess of 21 weeks of benefits during any one continuous period of disability by:
(a) the amount of pension for which the Employee is eligible under Part I, and
(b) the amount of any primary disability benefits or unreduced primary old age benefits under the Social Security Act which the Employee is entitled to receive, or
(c) the amount of the reduced primary old age benefits the Employee receives under the Social Security Act but only when actually paid to the Employee for the same week of benefits. The monthly payments of the above will be converted to weekly amounts in determining the amount of such deductions.
The Benefits. With financing provided by TAF, Toronto Community Housing is able to accelerate high- impact facility upgrades such as replacing faucets, toilets, radiators, and lighting with new, energy efficient ones. Retrofits are projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent and utility costs by 20 per cent. Cutting-edge sensor technology is in place to monitor, measure and document improvements in indoor air quality and resident comfort. Energy cost savings can be used to support Toronto Community Housing's 10-year capital plan. Investment in capital repairs and revitalization will lead to a 10-per-cent reduction in utility costs and a nine-per-cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over 30 years. The results of this project will clearly demonstrate the benefits of similar retrofits for Toronto Community Housing and other large social housing providers. The seven buildings being retrofitted are located at Xxxxxxxxx Drive, Kendleton Drive and Arleta Avenue. Ecosystem Energy has been selected to design and implement the projects. Intensive monitoring of the retrofit performance will provide valuable data that will benefit the field of retrofit design and optimization. Indoor comfort and air quality in the buildings will be monitored before and after the retrofits as part of a research partnership with the University of Toronto. The research findings will provide valuable insight into the potential for energy retrofits to improve health and comfort in multi-unit residential buildings.
