I. Personal background information: Provide your name, level of requested certification (Standard, Advanced), age and a statement that you are certified as a schema therapist with the ISST, and/or have completed the workshop training and educational consultation requirements for the requested level of ST-C.
II. Couples therapy session recording: Provide a recording (preferably video, but audio is acceptable) of a couples therapy session from your own practice of 45 to 60 minutes in length. This could be a whole session, or a segment from a session if the session is longer than 60 minutes. It is recommended that you choose a couple with whom you have had at least 6 sessions as the selected session needs to illustrate some of the processes that are distinctive to ST-C. For advanced level, your facility with a complex case (e.g. complex trauma, rigid personality traits, substance abuse, and/or a personality disorder) has to be demonstrated. In addition you will need to know the partners well enough to provide a case conceptualization (using the format described below).
Working with the interaction between the two members of the couple in which you, for example, de-escalate conflict, encourage empathy of one partner for another, or promote emotion-focused responding between them.
Use of emotion-focused experiential techniques such as guiding one or both partners to focus somatically and identify emotional states, using imagery to identify emotions and connect them to childhood memories, helping one partner recognize and empathize with the Vulnerable Child in the other, use dialogues with multiple chairs to identify and separate out coping and/or parent modes from Angry or Vulnerable Child states.
Working to identify, name and/or bypass coping modes that are interfering with empathic engagement between the partners.
Demonstrating and working with the basic mode cycle clash in the area of coping modes.
Re-parenting of one or both partners by the other partner.
III. Background information about the couple: For each of the members of the couple, whose session you are submitting for evaluation, provide their name (first names are enough), age, marital status, education, occupation, DSM-5 or ICD-10 diagnoses, and evaluation of the overall level of functioning of each.
For each partner, a paragraph summarizing the central motivation of each party for seeking couples therapy, including explicit expectations with regard to outcome.
For each partner, a paragraph summarizing salient aspects of their history, including nature of relationships in family of origin and specific disruptive or traumatic events during childhood or subsequently.
Prominent coping modes categorized under the headings, Surrender, Avoidant and Overcompensation.
Mode clash analysis: Set out how you understand the conflicts or difficulties of the couple in terms of a mode clash (i.e .how you understand them to be caught up in interacting through coping modes in a way that exacerbates conflict and undermines intimacy). You could do this by presenting schema mode maps for each partner or using the mode clashcard format (available from the website). Provide a brief explanation of how you understand these clashes in mode terms.
Goals of therapy: Explain how you understand the goals of therapy in schema and mode terms with particular reference to de-escalating conflict, bypassing coping modes, promoting emotional connection and building intimacy and authentic communication. You can summarize how you see the obstacles to achieving these goals and the tasks you understand that need to be tackled.
V. Contextualization of the session: Write a few paragraphs in which you explain the process of the therapy so far, how this led to what is happening in the session you have chosen, how you understood what you were trying to facilitate during the course of the session and how this fits in with the goals for therapy as set out above.
VI. Evaluation of the session: Evaluate the session in terms of how it went, the strong points in terms of how well you were able to work towards specific goals, the difficulties you encountered and your understanding of what this means for the therapy going forward.
Once you have prepared these documents, submit them with the recording(s) to the Chairperson of the ST-C Committee. This position is currently held by Travis Atkinson EMAIL. Inform him by email of your intention to submit your session recording(s) for evaluation and he will discuss with you options for submitting the recording by mail or electronically. A charge is made for the evaluation of recordings (which would normally take the evaluator about 2 hours). Because of differences in currencies and exchanges rates, the charge varies depending on the country in which the applicant lives and works, and is negotiated between the applicant and the person assigned to do the rating.

Coopersale Hall School wanted to rejuvanate one of their existing play spaces. They wanted a cost effective solution that would include a small tower system and other physical play-based items that large groups of pupils could access. It was essential that children aged 5-11 could enjoy the new development.
DESIGN For the small play tower we opted for our popular Zenith One tower system in our rustic option to enhance the natural surroundings of the play space. With engaging features such as a slide, clatterbridge & ramp climb it will definitely get the pupils more active.
Together with Coopersale we knew we wanted to include a number of trim trail items as they are great, cost-effective pieces to promote physical play in the playground. Trim items such as our Mound Tunnel, A-Frame Climbing Blocks, Gripped Rope Walk and Climbing Wall were included to provide a variety of physical play opportunities. Wetpour Safety Surfacing was also included to ensure the development complied with all British & European Safefty Standards. Two different fleck options, yellow & black and green & black, were used to break up the play area and create two different play zones.
INSTALLATION With a variety of playground pieces and safety surfacing colours due to be installed at the Coopersale Hall School it was essential the development was completed to the highest standards. The installation went very smoothly, and with minimal disruption to pupils, staff and the school day. Overall the finished result looks fantastic and is a testament to all involved at Creative Play!

How Philosophy Can Illuminate Sport and Vice Versa
Bruce Grobbelaar and Middle-Class Morality
This one is especially for Liverpool fans and legal eagles. But it also carries some general morals for anyone interested in the relations between the law, morality, and the jury system.
Remember Bruce Grobbelaar, Liverpool goalie in the 1980s and 90s? Big moustache, did that wobbly knees thing in the 1984 European Cup final, looked like he ran some dodgy Zimbabwean safari firm? Well—for a while he did run a dodgy Zimbabwean safari firm, and that turned out to be the start of his troubles.
In the early 1990s, while still playing for Liverpool, Grobbelaar met a fellow Zimbabwean, Christopher Vincent, who induced him to invest £55,000 in a safari camp. When the business failed, the resourceful Mr Vincent, loath to lose his meal ticket, recalled some late-night snippets Bruce had revealed about shady dealings with betting rings, and went to the Sun with the story. The newspaper promptly equipped Vincent with tape recorders and cash. Secret recordings were made in borrowed apartments. And in due course the Sun ran a series of big splashes alleging that Grobbelaar had taken money from Vincent and others to throw games.
Wobbly knees European Cup final 1984
Taking bribes to fix matches is a criminal act, and so soon afterwards Bruce found himself in the dock of Winchester Crown Court. However, the prosecution struggled to secure a conviction. In a first trial the jury failed to reach any verdict, and in a retrial later the same year another jury acquitted Grobbelaar on one charge and couldn't agree on another—at which point the prosecution gave the whole thing up as a bad job.
Grobbelaar did well to escape jail. There was plenty of evidence against him, and the fact that Vincent had been an agent provocateur was no defence. Moreover, it was hard to attach much credence to Grobbelaar's story that he had only been playing along with Vincent to find out who was behind him, especially as this tale didn't answer the allegations involving other betting syndicates. The only real thing going for the defence was that the instrument of Grobbelaar's downfall was the Sun.
As the jury would have known, the Sun had been conducting a vendetta against Liverpool football club for some years. After the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, it repeatedly trumpeted the smears about Liverpool fans that the police had invented to cover up their own responsibility for the ninety-six deaths. Nor was it above bringing Grobbelaar's wife Deb and children into the bribery splashes. "Shameful secret has Deb in tears" ran one headline, and another article reported that Grobbelaar had refused to answer such reporter's questions as "How much of what's been happening have you told the children about? Have they been getting a hard time at school?" We can imagine that the jury might well have felt disinclined to kick a man who'd been subject to such treatment.
Grobbelaar's successes in the criminal courts encouraged him to go on the offensive. He sued the Sun for libel, and in 1999 a jury found for him in the High Court and awarded him £85,000 in damages. (I hope you aren't getting tired of all these trials. I warned you that this was one for the legal buffs. There are still two more verdicts to come.)
Safari mode
The Sun promptly appealed against the libel decision, on the grounds that the jury's verdict was 'perverse'. This was somewhat unusual, in that jury decisions are close to sacrosanct in English-based common law, and normally you can't appeal just on the basis the jury got it wrong. But in certain kinds of cases you can get a jury verdict overturned if you can show that 'no reasonable jury, who had applied their minds properly to the facts of the case, could have arrived at the conclusion which was reached'. And that's what the Sun successfully argued in the Court of Appeal.
Remember that in civil libel cases the defendants—the alleged libellers—only need to prove the truth of their claims 'on the balance of the probabilities', and not 'beyond the reasonable doubt' required for a criminal conviction. So the Sun could concede that their incriminating tapes and other evidence might not have been enough to compel the criminal juries in Winchester, and yet insist that any reasonable person would take them to show that Grobbelaar's guilt was at least more probable than not. The Court of Appeal agreed, striking down the jury's verdict and the £85,000.
We aren't done yet. By now Bruce had the bit between his teeth, and opted to take it all the way to the top, to what would now be the Supreme Court, but was then the Law Lords. Once they got their hands on the case, the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary started by thinking a bit harder about what the original libel jury could have had in mind. They noted that there were two distinct parts to the Sun's allegations. In the first place the Sun had said that Grobbelaar had been accepting bribes. And then they had said that he had let in goals on purpose. The Law Lords came to the view that the jury must have thought that, while there was plenty evidence for the first claim, there wasn't any for the second, and that they had found against the Sun for that reason.
In truth, not only was there no evidence that Bruce had let in goals, but good evidence that he hadn't. Let me quote from the Law Lords' eventual written opinions. (You can read all their 20,000 words at http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200102/ldjudgmt/jd021024/grobb-1.htm.) Here's a passage about witnesses at the libel trial: "There was expert evidence strongly supportive of the appellant's evidence from Mr Bob Wilson, formerly a professional goalkeeper of the highest standing, and Mr Alan Ball, formerly a professional footballer of renown who had been the appellant's manager at Southampton. Mr Wilson saw no evidence of anything other than good (and on occasion outstanding) goalkeeping in any of the five games. Mr Ball saw nothing odd or suspicious in the appellant's play in either of the two Southampton games, both of which he had watched."
Yes, these dudes really do write like that. 'Formerly a professional footballer of renown.' Alan Ball. I am sure that most senior judges are regular human beings who only use such phrases that because they enjoy celebrating the old forms. But in this particular instance, as we are about to see, the sitting Lords of Appeal in Ordinary did little to dispel the impression that they were a bunch of old fogeys who'd been living with their pompous phraseology for a long time, handing down rulings and feeling entitled to impose their views on the rest of us.
Law Lords en masse
Taking account of the expert evidence from Ball and Wilson, the Law Lords upheld the original jury's verdict that the Sun was guilty of libel. They reasoned that the jury must have felt that the Sun hadn't shown that Grobbelaar had let in goals on purpose, and moreover that this justified an award of £85,000. However, the Lords disagreed strongly with jury about the second part. They allowed that the Sun hadn't proved their claims about the goals, and that these claims were libellous. But they didn't think that these claims damaged Grobbelaar in any substantial way—on the grounds that his name was already mud. As they saw it, he had already been exposed as someone who had taken bribes on the promise of fixing games. That he was then falsely said to have let in goals as well could scarcely damage him further, as he had no reputation left to protect. So they awarded him a nominal £1 and required him to pay all costs. Grobbelaar declared himself bankrupt soon afterwards.
I don't know how it was for you, but when I first read the original Sun stories I was shocked. It wasn't the bribery that shocked me, though, so much as the thought that Bruce might have thrown games on purpose. All right, taking bribes isn't very nice, and certainly it lowered Bruce considerably in my estimation. He was clearly hanging out with an unsavoury crowd. But that wasn't in the same ball-park as losing games on purpose. How could he have let down his teammates, the fifty thousand desperate fans on the Kop behind him, the whole history of Liverpool football club, just for a few pounds? No punishment would be enough for someone who did that. He should be cast out and left to wander in the wilderness for the rest of his days.
Well, that's not how the Law Lords saw it. Lord Hobhouse was quite explicit on the point. "Corruption is much more serious than letting in goals deliberately. The one is a criminal offence and the other, as such, is not." Perhaps it's not surprising that men who have spent their whole life administering the law should regard breaking it as a paramount sin. But someone who was brought up in Zimbabwe, or on the wrong side of the tracks in Liverpool, or in many other places, might well take a different view, holding that while a lot of laws are sensible, a lot are also designed to preserve the interests of privileged groups, and that therefore breaking the law isn't necessarily the worst thing in the world, compared with cheating your mates, say, or letting down the fans.
Still, this is a topic on which different opinions are possible, and the eminent Lords were perfectly entitled to their view. What they weren't entitled to do, though, was correct the original jury on the matter. The law of libel is complicated. An appeal court has the power to reduce the amount of damages awarded by a jury if they feel that it is an excessive departure from previous such awards. But that clearly wasn't the issue in this case, though the Law Lords pretended that it was. It wasn't that they felt that the jury had misjudged how much money to award for a serious libel. Rather they felt that the jury were wrong to think that there was a serious libel in the first place.
And this was absolutely not their business. The law of defamation says that your published words are libellous if they will 'lower someone in the estimation of right-thinking members of society generally'. By the Law Lords' own analysis, the jury felt that the allegations that Grobbelaar had thrown games on purpose indeed lowered him substantially in the eyes of right-thinking people generally, even against the background of his taking bribes. I myself think that the jury was absolutely right about this. To normal right-thinking people, the idea of Grobbelaar deliberately missing the ball in front of the Kop would be horrendous, far worse than taking bribes. But that's not the point. Whether the jury was right or wrong, it was a matter for them to decide, and the Law Lords had no right to substitute their own view of what 'right-thinking members of society generally' would think for that of the jury.
I am not sure what to make of this. Whatever their other failings, the Law Lords were not stupid, and they must have known in their hearts that they were riding roughshod over the law on juries. It is a basic principle of our legal system that, 'perversity' aside, appeal judges cannot correct the conclusions that juries reach about matters of fact. In the end, it is hard not to see something almost hypocritical in their decision. Having appealed to the importance of the law against bribery to override the jury's view that Grobbelaar had been badly libelled by the standards of everyday morality, the Law Lords then allowed their own moral attitudes to override their duty to the law.
Of course the law wasn't the only thing damaged by the Law Lords' decision. It also ruined Grobbelaar financially. But Bruce is nothing if not resilient. Over the years he has moved around, coaching a series of teams in South Africa, England and then Canada, where he is now settled. He remains a great favourite at Anfield, turning out regularly for the 5 Times Liverpool Legends team (five times European champions, if you're wondering), and in 2006 he was voted number 17 in the official club poll of all-time favourite players. Clearly the Liverpool fans don't think that he let in goals on purpose. Nor do I.
I am interested in nearly all sports from around the world. I used to play some but not so much any more.

Dong Energy completes acquisition of Hornsea Project One in UK
4 February 2015	(Last Updated February 4th, 2015 18:30)
Dong Energy has acquired the UK-based 1.2GW Hornsea Project One offshore wind project from co-owner SMart Wind.
A joint venture comprising Mainstream Renewable Power and Siemens Financial Services, SMart Wind sold its 66.66% ownership stake in the offshore development to Dong.
The two partners for the project, SMart Wind and Dong Energy, had signed the deal for the project development in December 2011.
"The size and location of Hornsea Project One makes it the world's first offshore wind farm with a capacity of more than 1GW located far from shore."
Dong Energy entered a JV with SMart Wind, with an option to become the sole owner for the project once it receives approval from the UK's Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change.
The firm received the federal consent in December 2014.
Featuring farms, the Hornsea Project One will generate enough energy for approximately 800,000 homes in the UK.
Located 120km off the Yorkshire coast, the Hornsea Project One comprises three offshore wind facilities.
Featuring between 150 and 332 wind turbines, the project is expected to enter service around 2020.
Dong Energy Wind Power executive vice-president Samuel Leupold said: "The size and location of Hornsea Project One makes it the world's first offshore wind farm with a capacity of more than 1GW located far from shore, and it brings some great opportunities for us and the supply chain to take advantage of economies of scale and further drive down the cost of electricity.
"We will now continue on our own to develop the project towards a final investment decision. The size of the project and the excellent wind conditions at site together with our strong focus on cost will make Hornsea one an important milestone towards the €100/MWh target."

South Salem - Westchester County holds quite an array of beautiful neighborhoods, and hamlets. South Salem is a hamlet close to the New York/Connecticut border. It is a hamlet in the quaint town of Lewisboro and is part of New York's Metropolitan area.
In the early 1700's, land deeds were being bought and sold in rapid succession. At one point the eastern section of town, the hamelts of Vista, Lewisboro, Hamlet and South Salem were all thrown into the pot and called The Oblong. Border wars between CT and NY and MA ensued.
New York state borders were establised in 1731 and continued with the controversy over borders for years. However, in 1840 businessman John Lewis donated $10,000 to the support of public education. His only request was to have the town be named after him. And Lewisboro, NY was born! The town was hardly touched by the Revolutionary War, although the town would house important government officials and a couple of spies!
Since South Salem is considered a hamlet within the Lewisboro borders I feel the need to explain a New York hamlet. Simply put, a hamlet is a small village within a larger community. The town will not have been incorporated as a village. The hamlet is land administered by the town, in this case, Lewisboro.
We used Lewisboro demographics for this content. Total land mass is approximately 29 square miles with a population of 12,471 as of 2010 census. There is about 48 inches of snow/rain in South Salem each year. Brrrrrr!
*	The town recently adopted a ban on plastic and styrofoam.
*	There are 7 lakes in the area serving South Salem. Lake Waccabuc is the largest.
Recent homeowners have said "South Salem is a very sleepy town with a great school district, lot sizes are huge and it has a close proximity to Ridgefield and New Canaan in Connecticut.
Current housing data shows homes of 4 bedroom/3 Baths and 3,036 square feet is roughly $399,900.

MOTO GUZZI V7 Special 850
New Moto Guzzi engine
Now with 25% Max power! The engine has been upgraded from 52 HP at 6200 rpm to 65 HP at 6800 rpm. The max torque has also increased significantly from 60 NM at 4250 rpm to 73 NM at 5000 rpm, with more than 80% of the torque already available at 3000 rpm.
A new Moto Guzzi engine makes its debut on the new V7, a close derivative of the one that powers the V85 TT. This is the most recent and modern drive built in Mandello, which guarantees better performance and overall greater efficiency in order to provide maximum riding pleasure, fun and reliability.
Compared to the previous version, the new addition from Mandello is generally more complete in terms of equipment and demonstrates superior maturity, also evident in the aesthetic impact of the larger engine, which stands out for its generously sized exhaust pipes in a different layout; the view from the rear highlights the larger cardan final drive, the wider rear wheel and the robust Kayaba shock absorbers.
The stylish side panels are new, as is the shorter rear mudguard, elements which along with the new exhaust system give the V7 850cc a revamped and more seductive look. Many new features have been introduced to improve stability and comfort, leaving the proverbial handling of the Moto Guzzi best-seller unaltered.
The frame has been enhanced with the addition of steel elements in the headstock area. The new shock absorbers have greater travel and the new two-tier saddle / rider foot pegs ensure greater comfort.
Full LED

We finally have confirmation of when Dragon Quest XI will be released in the west.
The release date is September 4 for PlayStation 4 and Steam.
So just a few months away! Great news, for me at least is that they will add voice acting. The Japanese original release didn't have voices at all. It will feature some fixes and changes, you can see them a bit down on this post.
Here are some of the stuff they are adding and fixing to the game.
Draconian Quest, a hard mode that offers additional challenges for more experienced players.
Overhauled Menus & UI, with graphical enhancements and more intuitive navigation.
Camera Mode, allowing players to take in views of the beautiful landscape, character renders and ferocious monsters in detail.
They have confirmed that they will not release the 3DS version, but they will release the Nintendo Switch version in both Europe and America when it is released.
Much later. At least they've confirmed it's coming, but we still don't know if it will be an upgraded 3DS version or the same version released on PS4.
I'm just glad we finally have a date, even if it's about five months away. At least now I have something to look forward to. Might even take a vacation day to enjoy it fully.
Tales of Zestiria is coming to PS4!!
Dragon Quest XI ser fanatiskt ut!

Johnson County Breastfeeding Coalition formed
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 83.8% of Kansas moms initiate breastfeeding, but this number drops to 50.5% by the time the child is 6 months old and 32.4% at 12 months of age. There's no question that breastfeeding benefits moms and babies, yet a lack of support from healthcare providers, workplaces and other systems often prevent moms from reaching their breastfeeding goals.
Members of the community met in January 2019 to form the Johnson County Breastfeeding Coalition to discuss the landscape of breastfeeding support in the county. The conversation explored barriers to breastfeeding and generated project ideas for areas of improvement. The coalition meets monthly.
Last month the coalition recruited additional businesses to display the "Breastfeeding Welcome Here" window sticker, bringing the total number in Johnson County to 31 and meeting the final requirement to attain the Community Supporting Breastfeeding designation from the Kansas Breastfeeding Coalition.
The coalition is working to bring together additional members of the community who have personal breastfeeding experience or who play a role in breastfeeding outcomes. The coalition meets the 3rd Tuesday of the month from 2 - 3:30 p.m. at the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment, 6000 Lamar Ave. in Mission. Contact Danica.Pelzel@jocogov.org or call 913-826-1229 for more information.
First co-responder to work in a school district
For the first time, Johnson County Mental Health will embed a co-responder into a Johnson County school district. Gardner Edgerton Unified School District 231 will have a co-responder work full time in the district to provide immediate assistance to students in need during a crisis situation. The position will be filled in July 2019.
"We are excited to be able to offer this support and service to our students and their families and our staff members. We are thankful for the relationship that has been developed between USD 231 and Johnson County Mental Health Center. By partnering together, we are better able to meet the needs of our community," said USD 231 Superintendent Pam Stranathan.
On May 6, the Gardner Edgerton school board voted to approve a memorandum of understanding with Johnson County for the full-time clinical co-responder. The Johnson County Board of County Commissioners approved the memorandum of understanding on Thursday, May 2. The arrangement is for a one-year pilot, with the potential to expand to other school districts in the county. The county will continue to develop and track key performance indicators to determine if the pilot is a success.
"We are pleased to be able to partner with a school district in this way," said Johnson County Mental Health Center Director Tim DeWeese, "It takes the community working together to end the stigma and start the necessary conversations about mental health in teens and adolescents."
The school board approved a partnership to support the position during the 2019 – 2020 school year. Johnson County Board of County Commissioners approved the rest of the funding for the position using both mental health funding sources and some county tax support.
The Co-Responder Program began in 2011, with a pilot with the city of Olathe Police Department. Now, most communities in Johnson County have a co-responder embedded within their police department.
Celebrating all nurses!
Today is National Nurses Day, which kicks off National Nurses Week. We wanted to take the time to say "thank you" to our community's nurses for the important work you do.
We have several departments and agencies whose nursing staff helps protect the health and safety of clients we serve, or the greater community. Nurse Assistants, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Registered Nurses (RNs) and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNS) are all included in our workforce and provide direct care where needed. Here are some of the examples of nursing services we offer to Johnson County residents:
Registered Nurses are available for in-home, office or community site visits with new mothers and infants who live in Johnson County.
Nurse-Family Partnership is a FREE nurse-led home visitation program that pairs first-time mothers with a nurse home visitor. The mother-to-be and her nurse meet regularly through her pregnancy, the birth of her newborn, until the child turns two.
Skilled Registered Nurses are available to visit with senior adults one-on-one in their home and provide physical and social assessments as well as education and counseling on senior needs.
Nurses help provide care for people of all ages at our Department of Health clinics in Olathe and Mission. They also hold Blood Pressure Clinics at various locations throughout the county.
A team of nurses at Johnson County Developmental Supports offers clinical services and supports necessary for the individuals they serve with intellectual and developmental disabilities to maintain health.
Through the Area Agency on Aging, registered nurses provide weekly medication management as part of in-home services for seniors.
Johnson County Mental Health nurses serve the public as part of a medical staff that provides quality psychiatric services, as well as a walk in nursing clinic in both the Olathe and Shawnee offices.
Happy National Nurses Day and Week and thank you for all you do to keep our community healthy!
97% of Johnson County residents give the county a positive rating as a place to live
In the annual Johnson County Community Survey, residents again gave high marks for the county's quality of life, services and programs, and voiced their opinions on the services most important to them.
Results from the 2019 Community Survey were shared Thursday, May 2, with the Johnson County Board of Commissioners during a weekly study session. The survey, totaling six pages of 27 questions, was conducted in March and April by ETC Institute of Olathe.
"Johnson County continues to set the standard of service delivery compared to other large communities," Chris Tatham, president and chief executive officer of ETC, said.
According to Tatham, overall satisfaction with county services rated 36% above the national average, public safety services rated 24% above the national average and value received for tax dollars rated 19% above the national average.
As in the previous surveys, residents were asked to rate the quality of life in Johnson County. The 2019 survey results were all virtually the same as the prior year, including 97% satisfied with Johnson County as a place to live (a decrease of only 1% from the 2018 survey), 95% satisfied with Johnson County as a place to raise children (96% in 2018) and 92% satisfied with an overall feeling of safety in the county (up from 91% in 2018).
Full results of the 2019 Community Survey satisfaction survey are available here and access to a press release is available here.
Johnson County is Stepping Up to improve outcomes
During the month of May, we will be highlighting some of the programs and services available to Johnson County residents who have mental illness. This attention is part of a larger, nationwide campaign known as Stepping Up—an initiative to reduce the number of people with mental illness in jails.
Since the launch of Stepping Up in 2015, more than 475 counties in 43 states have passed a resolution or proclamation to join the initiative and commit to creating a data-driven, systems-level plan to reduce the prevalence of mental illness in their jails and improve outcomes for people with mental illness in their communities. Johnson County is part of this important initiative and last May, was named one of seven innovator counties in the United States.
"Johnson County is very much leading the way in the nation to address this prevalent problem in our community," said Mental Health Center Director Tim DeWeese. "Far too often, those with mental illness are not receiving the help they need soon enough, which can lead to contact with law enforcement. But we are excited to share that we are tackling this challenge head on, by engaging our partners across the county and community to find solutions."
One of programs that's helping those with mental illness avoid incarceration is Johnson County's Veterans Treatment Court. The goal of this program is to identify veterans in the criminal justice system, and, when eligible, get them into treatment and court supervision as an alternative to incarceration. Over the course of 12-18 months, participants make court appearances, undergo drug and alcohol testing, treatment, recovery support meetings and are paired with a veteran mentor. The conclusion of the program includes a graduation celebration. Check out a recent graduation event and hear from the graduates.

Annual event prepares public health leaders and others
Leaders in public health, emergency response, preparedness and health care from around the region gathered on Wednesday, May 1, at the Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center, in Overland Park, for the third Kansas Infectious Disease Symposium. More than 130 attended the one-day event and learned how infectious diseases are contained and managed in the state of Kansas and the region.
Experts in infectious diseases, tuberculosis, sexually transmitted infections and influenza provided data and shared tips on how to plan for and manage outbreaks and disease investigations. Other presenters provided a perspective on opioid prevention and rabies control measures. Dr. Diane Peterson, Johnson County's chief medical examiner, was the lunchtime presenter and explained the role of forensic pathology in emerging infectious diseases. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment showed local health department staff how to integrate Essence surveillance data into their health department operations.
"Getting all of these local, state and federal partners in one room to share information and learn from one another will enhance our ability to prepare for and respond during a public health emergency," said Lougene Marsh, director of the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment. "Whether it's a foodborne illness investigation, a measles outbreak or bioterrorism, the people in this room are the ones who will help us protect the community's health."
The annual event was presented by the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

Horwasp - Starships
Races —> Horwasp —> Starships
The Horwasp are presently under development, which means they will frequently be receiving enhancements and bugfixes. Because of this, the documentation will also be frequently changing, and may be slightly behind development. This means that at any given time the documentation might not be complete, and could contain errors. In addition, there are probably interactions that aren't yet known.
If any errors are noticed in this document, please inform one of the Planets.nu Editors.
This page describes the Horwasp starships and the way in which they interact with planets and other starships.
The starships of the Horwasp are significantly different from the starships of the other races. This is due to a combination of:
the physical needs and attributes of the Horwasp
the Organic technology used
the fact that Horwasp starships are built on the ground instead of at a starbase
the psychokinetic abilities of the Horwasp
Horwasp starships do not have Friendly Codes or a Primary Enemy. In Combat, these starships always function as though they have a Kill! mission set.
Horwasp engine efficiency is equivalent to that of a standard a "Quantum Drive 7" (Tech Level 7).
When clans are placed into a starship, they enter a state of hibernation, and require no food to survive.
The crew on a Horwasp starship will not suffer from the radiation issued by a star cluster, but clans in the hold will. When all the clans in the hold are dead, the starship will continue to its waypoint, with only the crew.
Horwasp weapon strength and combat mass is calculated by the number of clans on board in relation to the cargo capacity of the vessel. A fully loaded unit will have Tech 10 weapons and its combat mass will be double its hull mass. The number of fighters is also determined by this ratio. Horwasp starships have unlimited torpedoes.
When a Horwasp starship takes damage, the clans onboard are killed and the combat effectiveness is reduced. This happens after combat completes. If there are not enough clans on board then some of the damage will remain. Additionally, Horwasp ships automatically regenerate damage at a rate of 5% per turn.
The Horwasp can not capture or be given enemy starships. Enemy starships which run out of crew during combat are destroyed.
The Horwasp never signed the Treaty of Nimbus 7. They will attack ships without fuel.
Horwasp starships and pods can not be captured or given away and they will disintegrate if they run out of neutronium fuel, whether due to poor planning or being the subject of a Rob mission. Horwasp starships and pods are immune to web drain.
When a Horwasp starship or pod is destroyed 10% of the clans on board will be distributed to all planets within 100 Light-Years.
Powered Starships
Hive Soldier
Brood Jacker
Armed Ballistic Starships (Assault Pods)
Accelerator Sentry
Stinger Protofield Armoured Nest
Unarmed Ballistic Starships (Pods)
Nest Farm Dunghill
Unarmed Ballistic Starships (Rocks)
Duranium Rock Tritanium Rock Molybdenum Rock
These are like normal starships, except they're built on the planet, and not at a starbase. They carry fuel, and use it as they move. They have the ability to change direction each turn. Other races sense them like any normal starship.
This starship is the largest and strongest fighting starship of the Horwasp fleet. It also is the only Horwasp starship that's capable of performing a Swarm mission.
It is also possible to target the Swarm mission. When this is done, all the clans in the Hive will be transported to the targeted planet.
A Hive starship has 9 beams, 6 torpedoes and 6 fighter bays. The strength of these weapons and the number of fighters onboard depends on the number of clans onboard, and is described in the Horwasp Combat Strength page. The torpedoes are generated by the Horwasp psychokinetic forces, and are available in unlimited quantities.
Hives over 5000 KT cannot be towed.
Whenever any Hive comes within 100 Light-Years of a planet, the happiness of colonists and natives begins to drop. The closer the Hive gets to a planet, the worse the effect. The impact on happiness will be between -1 and -10 happiness per turn in 10 Light-Year increments. This effect is not cumulative with multiple hives and does not affect natives on unowned planets.
Distance (LY)
91-100 -1 81-90 -2
71-80 -3 61-70 -4
11-20 -9 1-10 -10
The number of Hives that a player can build is limited to the number of planets that the player controls.
This is the small warship of the Horwasp, and has 3 beams, 6 torpedoes and 3 fighter bays. The strength of these weapons and the number of fighters onboard depends on the number of clans onboard, and is described in the Horwasp Combat Strength page. The torpedoes are generated by the Horwasp psychokinetic forces, and are available in unlimited quantities.
As with the Hive, the number of Soldiers that a player can build is limited to the number of planets that the player controls.
The Brood is a medium strength starship, having 6 beams, 3 torpedo tubes and 6 fighter bays. The strength of the weapons and the number of fighters onboard depends on the number of clans onboard, and is described in the Horwasp Combat Strength page. The torpedoes are generated by the Horwasp psychokinetic forces, and are available in unlimited quantities
The Jacker has a heavy hull. This causes 75% of fighter beam hits to do no damage.
The Jacker is a lightly armed starship, having only 3 torpedo tubes. The strength of the torpedoes launched depends on the number of clans onboard, and is described in the Horwasp Combat Strength page. The torpedoes are generated by the Horwasp psychokinetic forces, and are available in unlimited quantities.
These are unlike any other starship at Planets.nu. All the fuel for a trip is consumed at the time of launch, placing the Pod on a ballistic trajectory. They carry a minimum amount of fuel (1 KT, 2 KT if accelerated) for course adjustments, terminal maneuvers and reentry braking.
All Horwasp Pods can be launched at either warp 3, 6 or 9. In addition, Pods launched from planets with Ghipsoldal natives can be launched at warp 7. Launching a Pod consumes Neutronium fuel. The amount of fuel consumed is based on how far and how fast the Pod is planned to go.
When a Pod is dragged by an Ion Storm, it will lose its navigation lock on the destination, lose its momentum and drift with the storm.
When a starship makes a tow lock on a Pod, the Pod will lose its navigation lock on the destination amd lose its momentum. If a Pod is towed to a planet it will always soft-land and not cause damage.
Any Pod which reaches a planet will land, unless destroyed in combat at the planet. Any clans that are carried by the Pod will be soft-landed on the planet.
Pods can only change direction when they encounter an Accelerator pod. The use of an Accelerator is described below.
Most Pods must have a planet as a final destination. Only the Sentry, Accelerator and Protofield can have a final waypoint that isn't a planet.
Due to the fact that Pods don't run their engines after launch, they emit little energy, making them difficult to target. For those pods with this advantage, the low power usage causes other races to only be able to detect them at 50 light-years (armed pods) or 25 light-years (unarmed pods).
An Accelerator is used to increase the speed of Pods and Rocks that go through it. When a Pod or Rock sets an Accelerator as an intermediate waypoint, the number of light-years travelled per turn will be increased by 50%. The speed of a Pod or Rock can only be increased once. In addition, an Accelerator can be used to change the direction of a Pod or Rock. To use the Accelerator, set it as an intermediate waypoint, on the way to the final destination. Only one Accelerator may be used by any individual pod.
As with the Hive, the number of Accelerators that a player can build is limited to the number of planets that the player controls.
The Accelerator increases the speed of other Pods by transferring energy from the interplanetary psychokinetic mesh that it connects to when it achieves final position. The connection to this mesh has a side effect of not allowing the Accelerator to be towed. Only the imense power of a Class-4 or Class 5 Ion Storm can move an Accelerator once it has connected to the interplanetary psychokinetic mesh.
When an Accelerator increases the speed of another Pod, it also generates 1 KT of additional fuel for that starship, to help with reentry braking.
The Accelerator is a lightly armed Pod, having only 3 beams. The strength of the beams depends on the number of clans onboard, and is described in the Horwasp Combat Strength page.
Starships at the same location as an Accelerator will receive 25 KT of fuel per turn.
As with the Hive, the number of Sentries that a player can build is limited, based on the number of planets. For the Sentry, the limit is half the number of planets that a player controls.
The Sentry is a lightly armed Pod, having only 6 beams. The strength of these beams depends on the number of clans onboard, and is described in the Horwasp Combat Strength page.
The Stinger is a lightly armed Pod, having only 3 beams and 3 torpedo tubes. The strength of the weapons depends on the number of clans onboard, and is described in the Horwasp Combat Strength page. The torpedoes are generated by the Horwasp psychokinetic forces, and are available in unlimited quantities.
Protofield
The Protofield is used to create fields of proto-molecules. When the Protofield reaches its destination, each clan onboard will be converted to proto-molecules. This starship has a low energy profile, and can only be attacked by a starship that is set to intercept it.
When a Protofield Pod is launched, a timer is set to one turn longer than the trip time, or to zero if the Pod's destination is the launching planet. When that timer expires, the clans in the Pod will be converted to proto-molecules and the Pod will self-destruct.
When the clans are converted to proto-molecules, each clan is converted into enough proto-molecules to occupy 3.1416 square Light-Years (1.7725 Light-Years x 1.7725 Light-Years). This is the same area that is covered by a single mine or web mine.
Fields of proto-molecules can overlap with other fields of proto-molecules, and with web minefields, but can not overlap with normal minefields.
When a starship travels through a field of proto-molecules, the hull will accumulate one proto-molecule per Light-Year traveled through the field. The crew can remove one proto-molecule from the hull each turn, and a repair ship, or a starbase (through the Fix capability), can completely clean the hull in one turn.
Proto-molecules damage the hull of starships, and can eventually destroy a starship they're attached to. The damage done each turn is equal to the square of the number of proto-molecules on the hull, divided by the hull mass of the starship, rounded up.
The psychokinetic capabilities of the Horwasp allow them to direct proto-molecules around their starships and pods, making them effectively immune to proto-molecule fields.
Armoured Nest
The Armoured Nest is used to transport colonists. It has three beam weapons, the strength of which depends on the number of clans onboard, and is described in the Horwasp Combat Strength page. This starship can only be scanned by other races if within 25 light-years, and can only be attacked by a starship that is set to intercept it.
The Nest is used to transport colonists. It has no weapons or defense. This starship can only be scanned by other races if within 25 light-years, and can only be attacked by a starship that is set to intercept it.
The Farm is the only starship that can transport natives. It has no weapons or defense. This starship can only be scanned by other races if within 25 light-years, and can only be attacked by a starship that is set to intercept it.
If a Farm brings natives to a planet that has the same race of natives, the population will be increased. The native government level will end up as the higher of the two sets of natives.
If a Farm brings natives to a planet that has a different race of natives, the two races of natives will engage in ground combat. Most native races will fight at a 1:1 ratio (equal clan loses on both sides), but the Reptilians will fight at a 2:1 ratio (each lost Reptilian clan will kill 2 clans of the other race).
Dunghill
This pod is used to transport supplies between planets. When a Dunghill arrives at a planet, it will always soft-land, and not cause damage.
A Rock is a specialized version of a Pod. They have two functions within the game. First, they can be used to move minerals between Horwasp planets. Second, the mineral rocks can be used to damage enemy planets, possibly destroying all colonists.
As with other Pods, Rocks consume all the fuel for the trip when they're launched. The little fuel remaining after launch is only enough to allow minor course corrections and to perform terminal manuevering, including a soft landing.
All Rocks can only be scanned by other races if within 25 light-years, which keeps any mines from being able to acquire them as targets. In addition, Rocks can only be able to be attacked by starships set to intercept them.
All Rocks must have a planet as a final destination.
When a Rock is launched toward an enemy or unowned planet it will impact the planet causing damage and putting its minerals in the ground. If a rock arrives at a friendly planet it will soft-land on the surface. The larger the Rock is and the faster it is moving the more damage it will do. Rocks massing 1,000 KT or more, traveling at warp 9 that have been accelerated have the potential to be planet killers.
Duranium Rock
This rock is used to transport Duranium between planets.
Tritanium Rock
This rock is used to transport Tritanium between planets.
Molybdenum Rock
This rock is used to transport Molybdenum between planets.

Whale and Dolphin Strandings On the Rise in 2012
#MARINE WILDLIFE - The rate of cetacean strandings on the Irish coast remains unusually high, according to the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG).
The group's Cetacean Stranding Scheme recorded 162 strandings in 2011 which, while numbers do vary from year to year, was 25-30 more than anticipated.
And already this year the numbers are up on last year's 'inexplicable' records for the first quarter.
Some 21 strandings were reported to the IWDG in January alone - the highest ever number recorded for that month, well above the average of 13.
February's figures are even more worrying, with 30 strandings reported this year compared to a five-year average of 11.4.
"As we are now well into 2012, it is clear that the numbers have not returned to what we could have considered to be more normal levels," said the group in a statement.
There is as yet no explanation, whether a single cause or a number of factors, for what might be causing this significant rise in strandings of both live and dead animals, although one curious clue is "the number of carcasses which had washed ashore with tail fluke/fins apparently cut away".
In other IWDG news, the group recently announced the receipt of £2,000 (€2,400) core funding support from Scottish-based veterinary X-ray firm BCF Technology Ltd, which funds a number of charities through its BCF Foundation.

Coastal Notes Coastal Notes covers a broad spectrum of stories, events and developments in which some can be quirky and local in nature, while other stories are of national importance and are on-going, but whatever they are about, they need to be told.
Stories can be diverse and they can be influential, albeit some are more subtle than others in nature, while other events can be immediately felt. No more so felt, is firstly to those living along the coastal rim and rural isolated communities. Here the impact poses is increased to those directly linked with the sea, where daily lives are made from earning an income ashore and within coastal waters.
The topics in Coastal Notes can also be about the rare finding of sea-life creatures, a historic shipwreck lost to the passage of time and which has yet many a secret to tell. A trawler's net caught hauling more than fish but cannon balls dating to the Napoleonic era.
Also focusing the attention of Coastal Notes, are the maritime museums which are of national importance to maintaining access and knowledge of historical exhibits for future generations.
Equally to keep an eye on the present day, with activities of existing and planned projects in the pipeline from the wind and wave renewables sector and those of the energy exploration industry.
In addition Coastal Notes has many more angles to cover, be it the weekend boat leisure user taking a sedate cruise off a long straight beach on the coast beach and making a friend with a feathered companion along the way.
In complete contrast is to those who harvest the sea, using small boats based in harbours where infrastructure and safety poses an issue, before they set off to ply their trade at the foot of our highest sea cliffs along the rugged wild western seaboard.
It's all there, as Coastal Notes tells the stories that are arguably as varied to the environment from which they came from and indeed which shape people's interaction with the surrounding environment that is the natural world and our relationship with the sea.

New HIPAA Guidance for Medical App Developers
Holland & Knight Healthcare Blog
Shannon Britton Hartsfield
The federal Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Civil Rights (OCR), which enforces HIPAA, maintains a website with very helpful "frequently asked questions" (FAQs) regarding the HIPAA Privacy Rule and Security Rule. On April 18, 2019, OCR published five new FAQs discussing aspects of HIPAA that are important for medical app developers. For example, FAQ 572 analyzes whether a covered entity that fulfills a patient's request to send ePHI to an application or other software (app) is liable under HIPAA for how the app uses or discloses the electronic protected health information (ePHI). OCR indicated that information would no longer be subject to HIPAA once it is received, at the individual's direction, by an app that does not fall under HIPAA's definition of a "covered entity" or "business associate." If the app was not provided by or on behalf of the covered entity, and the app does not create, receive, transmit or maintain ePHI on behalf of the covered entity, the covered entity would not be liable under HIPAA for how the app then uses and discloses the ePHI.
FAQ 573 considers whether a covered entity faces liability if an individual asks the covered entity to transmit ePHI in an unsecure manner. In that situation, although the covered entity should consider letting the individual know of the possible risks of such transmission, the covered entity would not be liable if the transmission allowed unauthorized access to the data.
Another FAQ, number 574, considers whether an electronic health record (EHR) system developer could be liable for sending ePHI to an app. If the EHR system developer does not own the app, or does not provide it to, through, or on behalf of a covered entity, the EHR system vendor would not be liable under HIPAA for improper use or disclosure of the ePHI received by the app if the individual patient has asked that it be transmitted to the app. Possible HIPAA liability could result, however, if the app impermissibly uses or discloses ePHI and the developer owns the app or has a business associate relationship with the app developer.
The OCR guidance also considers, in FAQ 575, whether a covered entity can refuse to send ePHI to an app designated by the patient because the covered entity is concerned about how the app will use or disclose the data. OCR was unequivocal when it said that the covered entity should not refuse. HIPAA does not restrict how an app chosen by the individual patient may use health information that has been disclosed pursuant to the individual's right of access.
Sometimes a HIPAA business associate agreement will be required between a covered entity or its EHR system developer. FAQ 576 explains that an app that merely facilitates access to the individual's ePHI at the individual's request, by itself, does not create a business associate relationship. If the app developer creates, receives, maintains, or transmits ePHI on behalf of or for the benefit of a covered entity, however, a business associate agreement would be required. Whether HIPAA applies to a particular app or app developer will require a careful analysis of the facts and circumstances in light of current OCR guidance.

Opinion|Hungary's Backward Slide
Hungary's Backward Slide
By CHARLES GATI DEC. 12, 2011
When members of the European Union agreed last week to observe the rules they had adopted two decades earlier, two countries refused to sign on: Britain and Hungary. "Strange bedfellows," The Financial Times noted sarcastically. In a few hours, Hungary backed down.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced that he would submit the new accord to Parliament because the "country's sovereignty is on the line." In fact, his government is not in the position to ignore the E.U. This week, hoping to borrow €10 million to €15 million in order to roll over $1.37 trillion worth of foreign currency debt in 2012, it is scheduled to begin negotiations with the E.U. and the International Monetary Fund.
Once the leader of the post-Communist pack, Hungary has become a laggard among its Central European neighbors. It is run by Fidesz, Orban's party, which defines itself as "Christian, right-wing, and nationalist."
After its decisive victory at the polls in mid-2010, the party seemed on top of the world. The 52.7 percent of the vote it received translated into a two-thirds majority in Parliament. Orban has since turned Hungarian politics and economics upside down. Appealing to age-old nationalist suspicions, government propaganda has come to compare Western banks to Soviet tanks and Brussels to Moscow, while rather lame and much too infrequent criticism from Washington or Berlin is angrily rejected as interference in domestic affairs.
Official Hungary is imagined to be an island surrounded by foreign enemies. Orban, though heading a country that is a member of both the E.U. and NATO, keeps assuring domestic audiences that the West is in terminal decline.
The new basic law, or constitution, entering into force Jan. 1 draws on a golden age of Hungarian history that never was, echoing the professed values of the old Kingdom of Hungary. More dangerously, Parliament has curtailed the power of the Constitutional Court while it has created several councils that could override Parliament in case the current government loses its majority; members of these councils are to serve nine-year terms. The new media law is not only restrictive; it has also reawakened the old self-censorship that helps reporters and editors stay employed and news outlets stay in business.
With no checks and balances left in the new basic law, Hungary is no longer a Western-style democracy. It is an illiberal or managed democracy in the sense that all important decisions are made by Orban. Hungary is similar to Slovakia under Vladimir Meciar and Poland under the rule of the Kaczynski twins.
But, unlike Meciar or either of the Kaczynski brothers, Orban is a skilled politician and a very gifted speaker. Despite his preposterous recent claim, he is no Konrad Adenauer and his finance minister is no Ludwig Erhard — but he is back at the helm after two major defeats at the polls in 2002 and 2006. Capable of easily abandoning previous positions, he can also convince his base that he remains true to his principles.
Until recent weeks, Orban thought he could defy the West in general and the I.M.F. in particular. He sent home the I.M.F.'s team of negotiators a year and a half ago, and has since adopted a series of unorthodox policies in order to avoid I.M.F. conditionality and unpopular austerity measures.
For example, he nationalized private pension funds, made banks pay so-called windfall taxes and forced foreign lenders to allow borrowers to repay foreign-currency mortgages at the original, very favorable exchange rates. As a result, and with the Hungarian forint in trouble, Moody's rates Hungary as "junk," while both Fitch and Standard & Poor's regard the country as just one notch above junk.
If negotiations with the I.M.F.-E.U. team collapse, Hungary will be unable to pay its debts by March or April.
This why there will be a deal. Orban would have to humble himself, accepting conditions he has vowed to reject. He will do so. Then he will find a way to tell his supporters that he protected Hungarian sovereignty and prevailed over foreign interference. Unfortunately, many of them will believe his claim that beggars can be choosers.
Hungary may not remain this way for long. True, the opposition is divided, but support for Orban is waning. On Dec. 10, for the first time ever, a pro-government weekly called Heti Valasz ran a powerful editorial against his performance at the Brussels summit meeting. Almost certainly inspired by Orban's more moderate colleagues, the editorial is an early sign of their frustration about his economic flip-flops and political acrobatics.
