The paper is concerned with a governmental decision-maker who chooses among alternatives whose costs and benefits have been illuminated analytically. The decision-maker is considered to be involved in a planning, programming and budgeting system and to be responsible for at least some area where cost-benefit studies can be helpful. The decision maker's study team is envisaged as being given an assignment to develop the alternatives and their costs and benefits. The output of the study team is some representation of a cost-benefit surface. (Author) ; http://archive.org/details/modelofsystemsan00jone ; NA

This manuscript is a four page document containing information on Leslie J. Judd, the head Gymnastics Coach at Springfield College. The document was most likely created by Springfield College. It contains educational history, position held (including his military career and his time with the Ice Capades), committees he served on, publications, and awards given. ; Leslie J. Judd (1888-1987) was a Springfield College faculty member and graduate from the class of 1920. Judd spent thirty-one years coaching gymnastics at his alma mater. While at Springfield College, he also coached track and field, swimming and diving, cross country, soccer, and dance. Judd was born in Melbourne Victoria, Australia, where he served as a physical education director until World War I. During the war, he served in the Australian forces. His famous gymnastic tableaux, which unified the aesthetic and athletic qualities of the sport, were presented throughout the world, and his expertise was the subject of a feature story in Life Magazine in 1939. In 1955, he received the Tarbell Medallion, which recognizes alumni who have made significant contributions to the college. In 1962, he received an honorary doctorate of humanities from Springfield College.
" While the evidence seems to indicate that simulations are effective pedagogical tools, utilizing a simulation in the classroom can be a time consuming and sometimes a frustrating experience for the simulation administrator. Operational problems range from teams failing to turn in decisions on time to errors in the decision input or even computer breakdowns. A significant amount of administrative time is required to process each decision from collection to return following the simulation run. When problems arise, time requirements can escalate exponentially. Of course, Murphy's Law is always at work when it is least needed: If something can go wrong it will. When a simulation is used as an extension of the traditional course requirements, the additional time required usually comes out of the administrator~ hide. Thus, given the effort required to successfully run a simulation, it should come as no surprise that many of our colleagues have not flocked to the Promised Land of computer simulation. It is not unusual for first time simulation users to terminate their simulation activities at the end of one term. Even some of our seasoned colleagues tire of the effort required and revert back to traditional techniques. How can we reduce the time required to run a simulation while at the same time retaining educational benefits? An examination of the duties of the game administrator offers some interesting opportunities for reducing the administrative effort required while at the same time increasing the quality of the administration activity. Simulation administration duties can be broken down into creative tasks and mechanical tasks. The creative tasks involve environment enrichment and the introduction of techniques designed to help the competing team members better understand the simulated business environment. Environment enrichment activities include strikes, legislative activity, foreign competition, and other "real world" situations which are not part of the routine simulation run. These activities may be built into the simulation as an option or they may be incorporated external to the computer program by the administrator. For example, teams may be permitted to purchase the services of a professional lobbyist to influence a congressional decision concerning a tax on some aspect of business operations. The tax option is built into the simulation; however, the congressional activities and the lobbyist are external to the simulation. The administrator may often find it interesting and educationally advantageous to introduce certain analytical techniques which the teams can use to better understand the competitive environment in which they operate. Creative tasks are generally interesting to both the administrator and the team members. "

In the past zoonoses that caused serious human illness also caused serious loss of animal production, but there is growing awareness of the public health problems arising from infections that cause little or no such loss. Much can be learnt from the history of the control of bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis. In both cases there was reluctance to accept that animals were the principal cause of infection, and the earliest attempts at control failed because measures were taken only against clinical cases of the disease. The essential features in control of both infections were: official recognition of a problem, willingness of governments to allocate resources, and cooperation between the medical and veterinary professions. Salmonellosis is the most important zoonotic infection in Britain today, though several Orders have reduced the reservoir of infection in food animals. It is suggested that a national team of doctors should be set up to investigate and control zoonoses, that this team should be answerable to a central agency, and that it should build up close working relationships with the nominated officers of the veterinary profession.
Following the 23 June, 1977 Tonga earthquake, the authors were made available by the New Zealand Ministry of Works and Development (through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Bi-lateral Aid Programme) to the Tongan Government to help survey building damage and to recommend repairs and strengthening necessary to protect the structures from future earthquakes. The authors were also required to supervise government reconstruction teams. Recommendations are at present being prepared for structural design requirements for future building work in the Kingdom.

This is a selection from "the many hours of music†recorded by the "Africa Project†teams of the A.B.C. Television News. In June, 1966, they sent no less than "ten camera crews to Africa to make a full-length feature film covering every aspect of modern Africa — everything from politics to big-game. Eight months and more than a million dollars later they came back with probably the most fascinating and complete film coverage of a continent ever made.â€
