Final Thoughts. In the end, the goal is to ensure that the consignment occurs while protecting the interest of the University. The goal is to have an agreement that both parties can live with while being fair to both parties.
Final Thoughts. Feedback from one locality underscored the importance of considering sea level rise impact in capital projects. There was concern about the height of a bridge currently under construction and whether it would be affected by sea level rise too quickly to warrant the construction costs. A capital improvement project is a lengthy undertaking, and ensuring it will be accessible through its lifespan helps to ensure public funds are being used efficiently. Establishing standards for useful lifespans of different CIP projects, and requiring that sea-level rise be taken into account over the functional working life of a project could achieve this. For example, Poquoson, VA has recently installed all new pump stations above the 100- year flood level, using capital investment. • The Virginia Governor’s Commission recommended that the state discourage the use of public funding on infrastructure in areas highly vulnerable to flooding from sea level rise. • In Virginia, localities have been required to have a CIP to accept proffers. It should be noted that recent regulatory changes have affected the proffer system.
Final Thoughts. This guidance covers just a small fraction of entitlements set out in the contract examples we’ve looked at. If you’re a member of Equity, you can log onto your online profile where you will find many of these examples in the members section under Rates and Agreements. Contracts can be daunting, but it’s important to know your rights before entering an engagement with a theatre or a company. It’s an industry that often involves working away from home, meaning you need to factor in the additional costs of travel, accommodation and food, and understand what financial support you are entitled to. It’s clear that most of the entitlements offered for performers and stage managers go above and beyond what the lawful entitlements are for workers. If you have an agent, it will be their job to scrutinise the contract. If you’re just starting out and don’t yet have representation, then it’s down to you. Even if you have an agent, it’s always worth checking it yourself and knowing what you’re agreeing to. Last updated 27th May 2021
Final Thoughts. SHERA has been an unusual program, aimed not at a single research project but at something more comprehensive. It pursued a goal with eight distinct and significant targets, asked over 30 Indonesian and 12 U.S. HEIs to work together, brought public/private entities into the mix, spanned regions and institutional types, allocated program management responsibilities to HEIs that had never had them before, and aimed at tapping the unused research potential of lesser known institutions, women scholars, and the country as a whole. Above all, SHERA was about building capacity for future research as much as conducting it in the present. It was intended to change the Indonesian landscape for S&T research, both now and in the long-run. This was a tall order. Not every initiative worked. But most did. XXXXX’s impact is both broad and deep. It touched the research lives of hundreds of scholars and changed the research environment even at institutions where research had not previously been a priority. All this, while also pursuing innovative research on five priority issues for Indonesian development. SHERA cannot be assessed by a single measure but must be seen as the complex whole that it has been. And even with its shortened time frame, SHERA has established several important facts. First, with the right supports, a wide range of Indonesian HEIs succeeded in diving into significant, world-class research. Second, despite initial fears, Indonesian XXXx worked well together in these endeavors, sharing resources and finding mutual benefit. Third, building the scaffolding and relationships to undertake such research is a lengthy process, but provides a good return on this investment. Fourth, Indonesian HEIs have much to contribute to the development challenges facing the nation. Fifth, there is much to be gained by building even more comprehensive partnerships between U.S. and Indonesian HEIs. The time has come for Indonesia’s universities to be globally recognized for what they contribute to the country’s and the region’s development. SHERA has enabled over 1,200 scholars and 30 HEIs to see themselves in this endeavor. And, as discussed in Section D, the work they did during SHERA was a significant contributor to the exceptional showing Indonesia made in the 2020 THE Global Impact Rankings. Table 16. 2020 THE Global Impact Rankings – Top 100 Placements of Indonesian HEIs Overall SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth #47 University of Indonesia #41 University of Gadjah ...
Final Thoughts. Collaboration Agreements are a new emerging reality within Shining Waters Regional Council. The Communities of Faith are excited to be working together in this new undertaking. This agreement expresses our proposal for a commitment between the two Communities of Faith to collaborate in sharing staff and our ministries. It will take open communication and a willingness to find solutions for this collaboration to work but these are already evident in the planning and work between the two Communities of Faith.
Final Thoughts. The other fundamental aspect concerns the unity within the community(ies). When we talk about unity, we talk about harmony and transparency. There is also consensus among the members of the community(ies). In some cases, one must be sensitive to the potential tactics of the company that might seek to divide the members of the nation or among the multiple FNs party to the project. The greater the unity, the stronger your leverage. There are better examples in many regions and in the modern treaty context, but never stop asserting your rights and title in a consistent fashion.

Final Thoughts. Cuba’s economic position is more critical now than it was in 2016, when the agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Cuba was signed. The US blockade and the lifting of the suspension of Title III of the Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act have significantly reduced income from US tourism on the one hand and raise the possibilities of US citizens affected by seizures of property from which foreign investors have bene- fited bringing law suits. This has placed many European companies with investments in Cuba in a difficult position. Further investment will not arrive without guarantees that they will not face legal proceedings in the United States. The oil embargo on Venezuela (meant to xxxxxx political change in the country and at the same time worsen Cuba’s economic situation) may slow the transformation of the island’s economic system envisaged in the new 2019 constitution. The EU’s change of focus embodied in the PDCA prioritises transforming the Cuban economy. For the EU, the important thing is for the Cuban development model to work. The PDCA’s references to the Cuban economy only describe accompanying the process of updating the econ- omy and society in Cuba. The entire structure of economic cooperation could be jeopardised if the reforms of the economy’s trade capacity – of exchange rate duality and the many peculiarities of the trade regime that are incompatible with multilateral discipline – are too slow or fail to materialise. At the moment, despite the optimism generated by the growth of self-employment and cooperatives, the private sector does not appear able to trigger the transformation of the Cuban economy. It is more like an escape valve that gives a formal route to addressing declining person- al income and employment surpluses from restructuring state-owned enterprises. Top-down modernisation of the economy by those who control its principal sectors and external sector remains the only route.
Final Thoughts. Don’t get lost in the legalese-- confidentiality agreements can have grave importance for a farm or agri-business. Although the agriculture community has a trusting culture, maintenance of confidential information should not be taken lightly. It is highly suggested that farms and agri-businesses should speak to a licensed attorney before entering into a confidentiality agreement. -END- For more information contact: Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Esq.

Final Thoughts. As discussed above, local area services and works and services agreements are two options available to local governments for financing local infrastructure and services. Both are suited to the provision of services when only localised services are necessary, as opposed to across the entire jurisdiction, and each has their own particular circumstances that suit their implementation. Works and services agreements are best suited to financing infrastructure itself, such as roads, water, sewer, and drainage, and are limited to subdivision of land or development requiring building permits. Local area services are broader in the scope of services they can provide, but have additional restrictions on their implementation and require greater community consensus, as they have an ongoing nature. Prior to establishing either of these financing tools, it is important to understand their nature and enabling legislation, so that they can be effectively used in each circumstance. NOTES
Final Thoughts. The myth that roommates need to be best friends is false. Acquaintances can be excellent roommates, as long as respect and willingness to communicate are present. If you and your roommate aren’t close – do not despair! It probably means that you have found other people with common interests in other areas, and you are probably focusing your energy and friendship on them.
