Fortunately, politicians of all stripes have begun to question why current tax and regulatory policies seem to be encouraging such behavior. As a general principle, companies that are not contributing to productivity growth or helping to solve broader social challenges shouldn’t be enjoying a free lunch. The British construction company Persimmon, for example, has been posting higher earnings not because of investments it made, but because the UK government introduced a special loan scheme for first-time homebuyers. And most of the major pharmaceutical firms now seem to show an interest in research and development only when they are buying a new drug and need to conduct clinical trials to secure exclusive rights to it. | Luckily, politicians from across the spectrum are beginning to question why our current regulatory and tax policies seem to encourage this kind of corporate selfishness. Generally, companies which are not contributing to the growth of productivity or helping to resolve broader social issues shouldn’t be allowed to skate past these responsibilities, only to reap the collective benefits later on. The British construction firm, Persimmon, for example, has been posting higher earnings recently, not because of any investments or innovations of its own, but because the UK government introduced a new kind of loan for first-time homebuyers. Similarly, most major pharmaceutical companies only seem interested in contributing to research and development when they are buying a new drug and seeking to secure a monopoly on its manufacture and sale. Corporations with access to such massive amounts of resources and privileges should be compelled to contribute to the collective gain of the societies they profit from. | expand on the idea that companies should be taxed more if they are not contributing to productivity growth | others |
You may wonder how DNA could possibly relate to agricultural yields, but the link is actually quite an interesting one that is a curious mix of nature and technology. Agricultural yields can be increased through the use of genetic modification (GM), which relies on taking coveted properties from one organism and inserting these genes into another organism to create those same desired effects. The idea behind increasing agricultural yields is to provide more crops at reduced costs. While genetically modified crops have generally been created to feed people in developed nations, research has suggested that their use in developing countries has been far more beneficial. | Are you curious about how something like DNA could positively affect agricultural yields? It is an amazing topic, and the connection is actually an interesting mix of the natural world and advanced technology. By using genetic modification (GM), which is based on taking coveted properties from one organism and inserting these genes into another, agricultural yields could be increased manifold. Additionally, such crops could be made more resistant to pests, diseases, and environmental stressors. The ultimate goal behind using GM is to increase agricultural yields and provide more crops at lower prices. Although genetically modified crops have normally been created for developed nations, a recent study suggests that their usefulness in developing countries could be far more valuable. Since GM has the potential to boost yields and deliver more reliable food sources, such crops have the power to transform agriculture and help feed an expanding global population. So, it is evident that a balanced mix of nature and technology could do wonders. | make this more engaging | others |
In either case, the authenticating body reads the transaction certificate sent by the application and verifies that the computing device 120 has been registered for use by the user 110. The authenticating body verifies the computing device 120 by comparing the device credential in the transaction certificate with its database of registered devices. The authenticating body preferably also compares the device credential with the device black-list kept by the authenticating body to identify computing devices that have been previously identified as attempting unauthorized transactions. The use of the device black-list allows the authenticating body to prevent fraud by unscrupulous individuals. While it is a relatively simple matter to generate false personal information, it is difficult to replicate unique device specific information. | Either way, the authenticating system reads the certificate sent by the application and checks to make sure that the device has been registered by the user, and compares the credentials in the certificate to its database of registered devices. Ideally, the authenticating system also compares the device credentials to a database of black-listed devices (devices which have been previously caught attempting unauthorized transactions). Black-lists are an important tool for authenticating systems to prevent fraud, because while it’s relatively easy to generate fake personal info, it’s pretty hard to replicate unique device specifications. | make it more accessible to a general audience | others |

Still, apart from small hints, we can’t tell that this Adelaide isn’t the so-called “real” or original one and that sends a crucial message -- the differences between these two groups of people are circumstantial, purely the result of having versus not having. In our world, too, we may allow ourselves to tolerate injustice against Others who feel removed from us. On some level maybe we tell ourselves that those Others aren’t really like us, so that we can look the other way and go on with our day. But Us is not allowing us to look away. It’s saying to viewers with a comfortable middle-class life, “We are all the same.” So if you’d ended up on the wrong side of that dividing line, you’d be the Other, and the Other would be you. | The differences between these two groups of people are inconclusive, purely the result of having versus not having.

things calmed down and were going just fine — until once again, they weren’t. the situation played out almost exactly as before — i heard the beats slow down, freaked out, and found my room full of people within seconds [again, they were already on their way]. oxygen/fluids/repositioning happened, and this time it took a little longer for her to recover, but she eventually did. the midwife ordered more fluids and for a shot of terbutaline. if that didn’t work, we would plan for the more invasive measures [amnio infusion/fetal scalp monitoring]. i was terrified and absolutely shaking [physical reaction to it all?] but game for ANYTHING that would keep our baby safe! by this point my cervix was at 8-9 cm, so we were getting closer to the finish line. | Things seemed to calm down and were going on well until once again, they changed. The circumstances were almost identical to the previous one: I listened to the beats slowing down. I was worried and distraught. I found my room was full of people within moments since they were already on their way. They began to administer oxygen, fluids, repositioning, etc. And this time it took a little longer for her to recover, but she ultimately did. More fluids and a terbutaline shot were requested by the midwife. If that did not work, we thought of going for more invasive measures like amnio infusion or fetal scalp monitoring, etc. I was scared and actually trembling. Maybe it was a strong physical reaction to it all. But I was okay with anything that would save our baby! And at this point my cervix was around 8-9 cm, so that meant we were reaching the finish line. | make it more coherent | others |
We apply our formulated approach in Chapter 3 to a set of collinear spin problems whereby the two magnetic layers in our general multilayer junction (consisting of two ferromagnets separated by a non-magnetic spacer layer) have their rotated magnetizations either ferromagnetically or anti-ferromagnetically aligned (parallel/anti-parallel to the net magnetization). Our analytical results provide the necessary conditions for optimising tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) and show how a `switching' effect can be used to control it. We achieve this by calculating analytically in the ferromagnetic configuration the necessary conditions to support a 100% transmission success rate in one spin channel whilst making it very difficult for transmission to occur in the other spin channel. However, we show conclusively that re-aligning the magnetization to the anti-ferromagnetic configuration under the same conditions will make it very difficult for transmission to occur in either spin channel. | We may be able to optimize tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) by rotating a pair of ferromagnets around a non-magnetic space layer. By switching the orientation of the magnetic fields (parallel or perpendicular to the main field), we should be able to exert control over the TMR. We can run calculations to determine what the optimal patterns and timing of these magnetic switches will be in order to encourage transmission through one specific spin channel. We have also found, however, that re-aligning the magnetic fields under the same conditions will discourage transmission through any channels. | make it more accessible to a general audience | others |
An economic policy expert has warned that plans to enact the NEEEF Bill in its current format could have adverse effects on the country’s economy and subsequently place the economy on a lower growth trajectory. Former Namfisa CEO, Rainer Ritter – writing in his private capacity, said in a submission made to the Law Reform and Development Commission regarding the New Equitable Economic Empowerment Framework (NEEEF) policy that from a timing perspective, it [NEEEF] is not opportune for the Namibian economy in the next three years. “The introduction of NEEEF in its present form will achieve the opposite; it will put the Namibian economy on a lower growth trajectory, similar to the economic period 1978-89 before independence. It is recommended that the NEEEF policy is put on ice until Cabinet has more clarity on the pros and cons of the current NEEEF Bill,” Ritter said. Ritters’ remarks come as Government considers possible reforms to the black empowerment policy by introducing the contentious NEEEF policy. | The piece of text is regarding a certain law expert’s cautionary statement regarding the NEEEF Bill. The expert states that the Bill could cause antagonizing effects on the country’s financials and in turn make the economy’s rate of growth lower than before. The expert is also stating that the NEEEF policy is not ideal for Namibian’s economy within the following three years. In fact, they provide the recommendation that the NEEEF policy be halted until the Cabinet obtains more understanding on the good and and bad of the current NEEEF Bill. In conclusion, the situation is very much still progressing, with no definitive answer as of yet. | add a conclusion | others |

Success! I'm running a dual-core Extreme with VMware 6 Workstation. The instructions helped immensely. I experienced an issue with my first attempt, where the mouse didn't want to play -- it would move but click wouldn't capture. I just reset the VM and tried again and it's installing now. I'm pretty excited about this, since previously I was using the JaS install and directely writing to an external drive; it was just a lot of work unplugging my original drive (as so not screw anything up), installing to a SATA drive (which has proven much more difficult that previously installing to an IDE drive; my old Smithfield machine had more than one IDE drive connector on the motherboard), then plugging the newly installed SATA drive into my PC via USB ... it all didn't really work great.

The Institute gives its clients careful and detailed counsel in their preparations for climbing objectives and when appropriate, has them first achieve intermediate goals to fully prepare. Climbs on Denali obviously involve many factors that we cannot control, among them temperature, wind, snowfall, and changeable climbing conditions. The key to success therefore is doing an excellent job working on those areas that a climber can do something about: skill in dealing with cold conditions, skill in climbing at an appropriate technical level, and personal conditioning. To have well-developed abilities in these areas and then to combine them with a carefully designed and guided itinerary is the most direct line to safety and success. | The institute provides clients with detailed guidance and recommends achieving intermediate goals as preparation.

Now that the ship is in the open sea, the up and down of the ship had me turning green, and my belly was so empty before I even got on this thing that no matter how tasty the food it just make the stomach ache worse. The root of my tummy's awful way was probably caused by only having a tiny bit of hard, stale bread once every 24 hours in bottom parts of the convent. The ring of vesper bells also came along with it water that the holy Mother Abbess used to wash her feet and that I drank. I would like to thank holy mother for not using soap in her water at least. | After we got out into the open sea, the motion of the ship made me feel very sick, and I was so starved out before I came on board, that what good provisions I ate on board did not seem to agree with me.

But I must give the holy mother credit for one good omission--she did not use any soap. | Rewrite the text to be more formal. | formality |

Thanks to tons of new data about human movements, we're learning a lot about how social networks, people's movements, and dynamic processes like epidemics relate to one another. In this study we looked at how long people spent face-to-face in different environments. The two scenarios we focused on here were a science conference and a long-term museum exhibition. We kept track of how many times people interacted face-to-face, and for how long, then we studied these interactions to find the similarities and differences between them. We'll use this data to predict how epidemics might behave under different social circumstances. We found that epidemics would spread much differently between the conference and the museum scenarios. Diving deeper into the methods of disease spreading in those scenarios shows us that awareness of the many interactions between the different social networks would lead people into buying false ideas about how disease would spread across those networks. | The availability of new data sources on human mobility is opening new avenues for investigating the interplay of social networks, human mobility and dynamical processes such as epidemic spreading. Here we analyze data on the time - resolved face - to - face proximity of individuals in large - scale real - world scenarios. We compare two settings with very different properties, a scientific conference and a long - running museum exhibition. We track the behavioral networks of face - to - face proximity, and characterize them from both a static and a dynamic point of view, exposing differences and similarities. We use our data to investigate the dynamics of a susceptible - infected model for epidemic spreading that unfolds on the dynamical networks of human proximity. The spreading patterns are markedly different for the conference and the museum case, and they are strongly impacted by the causal structure of the network data. A deeper study of the spreading paths shows that the mere knowledge of static aggregated networks would lead to erroneous conclusions about the transmission paths on the dynamical networks. | Make this more formal | formality |

Because an across-the-board rate reduction doesn’t really stimulate things too well, its cost effectiveness isn’t great either. Even though households that are in the lower tax bracket would get a benefit, most tax reductions like that would go out to taxpayers who make more money. This is because households that make more money pay an unequal share of income taxes. But as we’ve already talked about, these households are assumed not to be as responsive to more after-tax income as lower- and middle-income households. Combined with a likely big loss in money from an across-the-board rate reduction, this means that the "bang for the buck" would be low. The effect of the stimulus is brought even further down if sizable shortfalls lead to higher interest rates, crowding out private investment. | Because the stimuluative effect of an across-the-board rate reduction is low, so too is its cost effectiveness. Although households in the lower tax brackets would receive a benefit, the majority of such a tax reduction would flow to taxpayers at the upper end of the income distribution. This is because higher-income households pay a disproportionate share of income taxes. But as previously discussed, these households are estimated not to be as responsive to increases in after-tax income as lower- and moderate-income households. Combined with a likely large revenue loss from an across-the-board rate reduction, this implies that the "bang for the buck" would be low.

The trials where we look at quantum phenomena in heavily linked many particle systems is hard to do because of how short they are and how little time there is to do them. Getting it at the same time rate control of individual parts seems like it’s even harder to challenge, which means it’s even harder to date inhibits using systems like quantum computing devices. We’ve made a lot of progress to overcome these problems with cold atoms in optical lattices, where a detailed control of collective properties is possible but it’s super difficult to address, so it’s harder to control or measure distinct sites. Here we’re showing, that polaritons, used with atom and photon excitations, in a bunch of cavities like a photonic crystal or coupled toroidal micro-cavities, can make a strongly interacting many body system, where distinct particles can be controlled and measured. Everything needed to build the suggested setting has already happened through tests, which shows just what this device can do as a quantum simulator. Since it’s possible to make attractive on-site potentials, the scheme allows the formation of really entangled states and a phase with particles a lot more delocalized than in superfluids. | The experimental observation of quantum phenomena in strongly correlated many particle systems is difficult because of the short length- and timescales involved. Obtaining at the same time detailed control of individual constituents appears even more challenging and thus to date inhibits employing such systems as quantum computing devices. Substantial progress to overcome these problems has been achieved with cold atoms in optical lattices, where a detailed control of collective properties is feasible but it is very difficult to address and hence control or measure individual sites. Here we show, that polaritons, combined atom and photon excitations, in an array of cavities such as a photonic crystal or coupled toroidal micro - cavities, can form a strongly interacting many body system, where individual particles can be controlled and measured.

Material is "inter-agency or intra agency" if it comes from an "agency," as to what that term is considered to mean by FOIA.

The Mythological Danses inspired by the three love stories (Khosrow and Shirin, Bahram and Dorsatti, Sohrab and Gordafarid) is also a very successful series of Persian dances which has been performed in Europe and North America several times. | Could you make this more formal? | formality |
Cavity quantum electrodynamic schemes for quantum gates are part of some of the first quantum computing ideas. Sure, there's continued advancement and the recent demo of photon blockade, but there're still problems with efficient coupling and gate function in terms of high quality cavities. So we're going to show how a dynamic cavity control permits for scalable cavity - qed based quantum gates using the entire bandwith of the cavity. This technique can give us an order of magnitude increase in operating speed, and these 2 orders will reduce the cavity @xmath0, over passive systems. Our system will make use of stark shift based @xmath0 switching, and is ideally the right way to go for a solid state united optical accesses to quantum computing. | Cavity quantum electrodynamic schemes for quantum gates are amongst the earliest quantum computing proposals.

We report an ongoing analysis of high-res uv spectra of hot hydrogen-rich central stars of planetary nebulae (cspn), gotten with the hubble telescope and fuse. Since uv spectra of cspn are dominated by fe/ni lines, we use them as temp indicators to check cspn temp scale we have derived before from cno ionization balances. The observed line strengths of heavy metals show big differences between different objects. This suggests a possible spread in amounts. We'll determine abundances of iron group elements by quantitative spectral analyses with non-lte model atmospheres. | We report on an on - going analysis of high - resolution uv spectra of hot hydrogen - rich central stars of planetary nebulae ( cspn ), obtained with the hubble space telescope and fuse.

We're gonna talk about how evolution naturally creates a tiered class system through changes in individual nature. We'll show you how these transitions come about from the forces of natural selection acting on different levels of the biological process. The main transition happens at one specific point in the evolutionary process, and we're gonna show how that point matches up with a phase transition in how information gets passed along through the creation of self-completing info bottlenecks. We've even got an abstract model to use for describing these transitions, that is vague enough to be able to apply to many different versions of the same idea. Look at multicellularity for instance, specifically a randomly generated model of individuals in a community (cells) transition into a more teamwork based community (multicellularity). This transition point can be found by noting when the number of cells needed to make new communities drops far below the previous number needed to make new communities. In that way, the communites as a whole start reproducing more even as the individual cells involved do it less. We also showed that horizontal gene transfer greatly lowers the bar required to make this process happen. And right there we've got two of the most important parts of multicellularity: the growth of a developmental process and reproduction through a unicellular bottleneck. | We explain how hierarchical organization of biological systems emerges naturally during evolution, through a transition in the units of individuality. We will show how these transitions are the result of competing selective forces operating at different levels of organization, each level having different units of individuality. Such a transition represents a singular point in the evolutionary process, which we will show corresponds to a phase transition in the way information is encoded, with the formation of self - reinforcing information bottlenecks. We present an abstract model for characterizing these transitions that is quite general, applicable to many different versions of such transitions. As a concrete example, we consider the transition to multicellularity. Specifically, we study a stochastic model where isolated communities of interacting individuals ( e.g. Cells ) undergo a transition to higher - order individuality ( e.g. Multicellularity ). This transition is indicated by the marked decrease in the number of cells utilized to generate new communities from pre - existing ones. In this sense, the community begins to reproduce as a whole via a decreasing number of cells. We show that the fitness barrier to this transition is strongly reduced by horizontal gene transfer. These features capture two of the most prominent aspects of the transition to multicellularity: the evolution of a developmental process and reproduction through a unicellular bottleneck. | Too conversational, rephrase it to be more formal? | formality |

The novel is about the adventures of a 13 year old boy named Bill and his magic walking stick. This stick has the power to take Bill and anyone holding his hand, to wherever he wants to go. From "the blinding white sands of the Solomon Islands ... [to] the rowans and birches of a wintry Highland Glen."

Dick Lydecker and I had a conversation today (Monday, Oct. 22) with Noel Watson, the Chairman and CEO of Jacobs, concerning interest in NEPCO. Noel had been out of the office most of last week due to the death of his mother in law. We discussed the potential of Jacobs acquiring NEPCO over a period of time. Noel listened, but it was difficult to determine his interest. We outlined a program where Jacobs, after a confidentiality agreement is in place, would send a couple of people to meet with Dick and I for a one day summary review of NEPCO. If there is interest from that review, then we would proceed to a management introduction and due diligence. Noel stated he would keep our approach in confidence, but needed to review the opportunity with a couple of people and would get back to us next Monday, Oct. 29. From past experience, I know Joe Jacobs, the founder, will be involved in any acquisition decision and I am sure that is the focus of Noel's review. I am sure Noel will also test his sources on NEPCO. In a side note, Jacobs shares have been doing very well as of late and are almost back to their historic high.

From past experiences I can state with confidence that Joe Jacobs, the company's founder, will be deeply involved in any discussions of acquisitions on their end. It is for this reason that I am confident that Joe's opinion will be the primary focus of Noel's review.

A great editorial in the Wall Street Journal today. Manager's Journal: What Enron Did Right By Samuel Bodily and Robert Bruner 11/19/2001 The Wall Street Journal A20 (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) This is a rough era for American business icons. Subject to the vagaries of age (Jack Welch), product failure (Ford/Firestone tires), competition (Lucent, AT&T), technology (Hewlett-Packard and Compaq), and dot-bomb bubbles (CMGI), managers and their firms remind us that being an icon is risky business. The latest example is Enron, whose fall from grace has resulted in a proposed fire sale to Dynegy. Once considered one of the country's most innovative companies, Enron became a pariah due to lack of transparency about its deals and the odor of conflicts of interest. The journalistic accounts of Enron's struggles drip with schadenfreude, hinting that its innovations and achievements were all a mirage. We hold no brief regarding the legal or ethical issues under investigation. We agree that more transparency about potential conflicts of interest is needed. High profitability does not justify breaking the law or ethical norms.

Accountable for the vagaries of maturity (Jack Welch), merchandise loss (Ford/Firestone tires), corporation rival (Lucent, AT&T), machinery (Hewlett-Packard and Compaq), and dot-bomb bubbles (CMGI), administrators and their corporations emphasize to us that being well known publicly is a volatile matter. The freshest empirical evidence is Enron, whose decline in favor has developed in a projected fire sale to Dynegy. Once thought of as one of the nation’s most technologically advanced corporations, Enron transitioned to an outcast due to an absence of pellucidity about its deals and the odor of disputes at hand.

We have not yet been informed concerning the legitimate or behavioral problems under examination. We confer that more pellucidity about prospective disputes at hand is required.

Hydrogen adatoms are one of the most exciting schemes for the functionalization of graphene. Hydrogen causes tapering resonances close to the dirac energy, making magnetic moments. Also, they're going to make local lattice curved that boost the spin-orbit pairing. This combo of magnetism and spin-orbit pairing gives way for a lot of different phases, and some these even have minor topological traits. We're going to look at how magnetism and spin-orbit work with each other for pairing in direct formation of hydrogen on graphene single layers, and it's grouped into the diff phases that could happen. We're going to branch our model out to think about the formations of adsorbates in graphene-like crystals with powerful inherent spin-orbit pairings. | Hydrogen adatoms are one of the most the promising proposals for the functionalization of graphene. Hydrogen induces narrow resonances near the dirac energy, which lead to the formation of magnetic moments. Furthermore, they also create local lattice distortions which enhance the spin - orbit coupling. The combination of magnetism and spin - orbit coupling allows for a rich variety of phases, some of which have non trivial topological features. We analyze the interplay between magnetism and spin - orbit coupling in ordered arrays of hydrogen on graphene monolayers, and classify the different phases that may arise. We extend our model to consider arrays of adsorbates in graphene - like crystals with stronger intrinsic spin - orbit couplings. | Too conversational, rephrase it to be more formal? | formality |

So, old law would allow taxpayers to get a personal exclusion for themselves and every member of the family. Plus a kid credit was okayed for kids under 17. The kid credit was, and still is, kind of refundable, so that taxpayers with no tax liability can get some if not all of the kid credit as a refund more than the taxed owed. The refundable part of the credit went as far as 15% of earned income that's over $3,000. The refundable part of the kid credit is sometimes called additional child tax credit or ACTC. The lowest income taxpayers usually get all of the kid credit by the ACTC. Now, personal exclusion and kid credits were made slowly shut down under the old law. Personal exclusion were recorded for inflation, but the kid credit wasn't. | Under prior law, taxpayers could claim a personal exemption for themselves and each family member. In addition, a child credit was allowed for children under the age of 17. The child credit was (and still is) partially refundable, so that taxpayers with no tax liability can receive some or all of the child credit as a refund greater than taxes owed. The refundable portion of the credit was limited to 15% of earned income in excess of $3,000. (The refundable portion of the child credit is sometimes referred to as the additional child tax credit or ACTC.

As in every bargain, the person(s) must balance making duties to promote trade with the relevant person(s) dominance. Keeping the ability to compromise and rule space may be very pertinent for those supporters still figuring out their domestic online schedule. Thinkers predict that the plurilateral delegates will have to choose between scale and involvement. A thin consensus with marginal scale and resources, like those aimed at e-commerce backing, would likely keep the biggest amount of bargaining attendees but could have less effect. Coming from a different angle, a high-standard overall consensus with bigger obligations, like that between the US and Japan, may put off attendees who don’t want to or aren’t able to take on all the duties.

Most jobs have internal rules and codes that people must follow to keep their professions clear of corruption and villainy. These rules not only protect clients, but they also help the folks working in these jobs. Rules like these allow the profession as a whole to censure its members when they're acting wrongly, and this helps keep the playing field level for the professionals who always play by the rules. These rules also help customers keep their trust in these professions, which in turn encourages them to buy more of the profession's services. | Most professionals have internally enforced codes of practice that members of the profession must follow to prevent exploitation of the client and to preserve the integrity of the profession.

Estimates of speeds from time series of photospheric and/or chromospheric vector magnetograms can be used to figure out fluxes of magnetic energy (poynting flux) and helicity across the magnetogram layer, and to provide time-dependent boundary settings for data-driven simulations of solar atmosphere on top of this layer. Speed components perpendicular to this field are needed both to figure out transport rates and to determine model boundary settings. We discuss some approaches to estimating perpendicular flows from magnetograms. Since doppler shifts have input from flows parallel to the magnetic field, perpendicular speeds aren't generally recoverable from just doppler shifts. The induction equation s vertical component relates evolution in @xmath0 to the perpendicular flow field, but has a finite null space (meaning some "null" flows like motions along normal field shapes, don't affect @xmath0.) Because of this, added info is needed to correctly ID the perpendicular flow field. Tracking methods, which track @xmath1 in a neighborhood, have a long heritage, but other methods have recently been put to use. In a recent paper, many techniques were tested using synthetic magnetograms from mhd sims. Here, we use the same test data to ID: 1) the ability of the induction equation s normal component, by itself, to estimate flows; and 2) a tracking method s ability to recover flow components perpendicular to @xmath2 and parallel to shapes of @xmath0.

The Bruce Highway forms part of the eastern border of the area, while the South Johnstone river makes up the north-western border. The land is pretty flat and lies 10 to 20 metres above sea level, predominately used for farming sugarcane. The North Coast railway goes south to north through the middle of the area and there is a cane tramway used for moving sugarcane to the local sugar mills. | The Bruce Highway forms part of the eastern boundary of the locality, while the South Johnstone River forms the north-western boundary.

Adjusted Payment Amounts for Borrowers Who Return to the REPAYE Repayment Plan. If a borrower wants to get back on the REPAYE payment plan after using a different plan (including the REPAYE Alternative Repayment plan), they've got to prove that they were making money the whole time they were on the other plan. If they find out that the borrower had been paying less on the other plan than they would have on REPAYE, then their monthly payments will jump up a little bit to make up the difference once they get back on REPAYE. They do that to make sure that the grand total will be paid off before the maximum repayment period ends in 20 to 25 years. | Adjusted Payment Amounts for Borrowers Who Return to the REPAYE Repayment Plan. If a borrower seeks to return to the REPAYE repayment plan after having left and repaid according to any other repayment plan (including the REPAYE Alternative Repayment plan), he or she must provide documentation of income for the entire period that he or she repaid according to another plan. If it is determined that the borrower paid a lesser amount under the other repayment plan (or plans) than he or she would have been required to repay according to the REPAYE repayment plan, upon returning to the REPAYE repayment plan the borrower's monthly payment amounts will be adjusted upward to ensure that the difference between the two amounts will be paid before the end of the maximum repayment period of 20 or 25 years, as applicable. | Too informal, rewrite | formality |

So, in addition to the Coastal Zone Management Act's consultation duties, the state's involvement in forming a regulatory framework for offshore aquaculture may need further study. Some stakeholders support an opt-out clause that would allow states to prohibit development in federal waters next to their state's waters. Others think that opt-out provisions should only be within a certain distance of the shore (like 12 nm). In response to a prior proposed law, NOAA backed a 12 nm boundary to provide states with a buffer zone and ease the difficulties of projecting state boundaries out to 200 nm. It might be a good idea for states to work towards harmonizing aquaculture regulations because then they would be in a position to discourage or encourage these kinds of projects. | In addition to consultation requirements under the Coastal Zone Management Act, the state role in developing a regulatory framework for offshore aquaculture may deserve additional consideration. Some stakeholders support an opt-out provision allowing states to refuse development in federal waters adjacent to state waters. Others suggest that the opt-out provision should apply only within a certain distance of shore (such as 12 nm). In response to earlier proposed legislation, NOAA supported a 12 nm distance to provide states with a buffer zone and simplify the difficulties of projecting state boundaries out to 200 nm. Harmonizing aquaculture regulations with adjacent states could provide an advantage to future development, because states would be in a position to limit or promote offshore aquaculture development. | rephrase it to be less informal? | formality |
