I Headmaster’s Message J We are so pleased to present this issue of the magazine to the Salisbury community. With pleasure we present this issue of the magazine to the Salisbury community. Our news comes much earlier in the fall than in past years so that memories of gradua- tion ceremonies and other seminal moments remain fresh. The 2011-2012 school year was extraordinary in so many ways and culminated in a highly successful For The Boys Headmaster Chisholm Chandler with Andrew O’Donnell ’05 and former trustee Weekend in early May. This event was followed by a rous- Sandra O’Donnell P’03, ’05 at the Curtis Boathouse dedication, one of the many ing celebration for the Class of 2012 in June, and we will events hosted during the historic For The Boys Weekend. follow the successes of our graduating seniors with great interest in the years ahead. I am confident that each will go on to achieve great things and make us all very proud. Over the summer months, the campus was bustling with activity. Much of the action was focused on the reconstruction and enhancement of the front entrance to the Main Building. This renovation is possible because of generous gifts from families of the Class of 2012. Focused on the sweeping view of the Taconic mountain range, we now offer a most unique and welcoming entrance. The boys, visitors and faculty mem- bers will enjoy this handsome addition to campus life. The project also honors the historic contributions to the School made by David and Jane Harris as well as Carl Williams. Sadly, the summer months were also a time of heartbreaking loss, as three members of the community passed away in a short period of time. Included in these pages are tributes to Ann Corkery, Tommy Kennedy ’96, and Caldy Whitridge ’05. These three truly amazing individuals left us far too soon. We look forward to a new school year and the journey ahead with great hope and optimism. New students, chosen from a robust admissions pool of nearly 600 applicants, have joined with returning boys and will live, study and play on the Hilltop. They all will be guided by a remarkably dedicated and talented faculty and staff on this beautiful and pristine New England campus. Tracy and I feel very fortunate to be here at this moment in time and remain eternally grateful for the work we are privileged to do. We remind ourselves often that we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. Please come and visit with us soon! 2 SALISBURY MAGAZINE Fall 2012 AROUND THE QUAD Key Student Leaders Set for 2012-2013 Thank you to the following boys who have been either elected or selected to serve in leadership positions for the upcoming school year.

Simultaneous move, complete information games Players act simultaneously Each player incurs a utility, determined only by the players’ (joint) actions. Equivalently, player actions determine “state of the world” or “outcome of the game”. The payoff structure of the game, i.e. the map from action vectors to utility vectors, is common knowledge Games of Complete Information 3/23 Typically thought of as an n-dimensional matrix, indexed by a 2 A, with entry (u1(a); : : : ; un(a)).

  • Pepsico Pledges $650,000 to Help Clean up Australia
    MEDIA RELEASE 25 February 2020 PepsiCo pledges $650,000 to help Clean Up Australia PepsiCo and Clean Up Australia, together with REDcycle and Replas aim to build a circular economy initiative for sporting facilities Today, PepsiCo and Clean Up Australia have announced a new partnership to launch a three-year program called, Greening the Green, aimed at educating consumers on soft plastic recovery and increasing soft plastic recycling across Australia. Despite Australia’s recycling rate growing by over 50 per cent since 1996, waste to landfill has not decreased. According to the Australian Plastics Recycling Survey from 2017 – 2018, of the 3.4million tonnes of plastics consumed in Australia, less than 10 per cent was recycled. PepsiCo has pledged $650,000 (AUD) to support Greening the Green, which will see Clean Up Australia, PepsiCo and REDcycle (with support from Replas) partner with 110 local sporting facilities across the country. Greening the Green will consist of a 12-week module program to improve existing waste management and resource recovery by changing behaviour and providing better waste management resources. Upon successful completion of the 12-week program, each sporting facility that takes part will receive recycled plastic equipment such as table settings and benches made by Replas, one of Australia’s leading manufacturers of products made from soft plastics. The program aims to restore confidence in recycling across the country and support a circular economy for plastics by showing Australians that what they put in the bin, can be transformed into items the community can use. Danny Celoni, CEO PepsiCo Australia and New Zealand, says, “We are thrilled to partner with Clean Up Australia and REDcycle to launch Greening the Green and create a program that will work towards our goal of building a world where plastics never become waste.
