We are all responsible for meeting the challenge of our future global energy needs. Elemental Homes are designed to tackle this challenge. Designing an energy efficient home is a three step process. First you have to create a highly efficient envelope. Second, heating, cooling, and electrical needs must be accommodated as efficiently as possible. Third, renewable energy should be generated on-site to offset or replace energy needed from the utility company.
Elemental Homes achieve all of the above. Efficient planning and layouts allow our homes to live large and consume less. The exterior walls and roofs are super-insulated and air-tight. Heating, cooling, and hot water are supplied using ultra-efficient ground source heat pumps that draw energy from the earth itself. Lighting and appliances are energy efficient, using up to 50% less energy than equivalent equipment in a typical home. Electricity is generated from photovoltaic solar panels utilizing our most abundant natural resource to cut electricity drawn from the grid. These strategies produce a home that is not only efficient and cost effective to operate, but also a home that is more responsible and comfortable year round.

CUSTOM DRUM BUILD
Fireworks, festivals, and Deep Purple
When I was about 15 or 16 I was attending a punk rock show at Bareville fire hall. My friends and I walked down the street to a Turkey Hill minute market, and I recall a car full of d-bags with too much testosterone and only a hint of a neck (the variety of which I would later regularly see in college that would cause me great confusion as to why women find this attractive, but that's irrelevant right now) being rowdy, and one of them asked our group if we were Amish. At the time I was wearing a faded t-shirt of the album Machine Head by the kickass rock band Deep Purple. I wondered then and I wonder now if Amish people ever get to really experience the power of electric guitars, Fender amps and pyrotechnics.
Anyway. This past week has been a whirlwind of an adventure; a roller coaster of discovery, emotions, reflection, and sweating through my shirts. Early upon my arrival in Sano I attended an impressive fireworks show held in the nearby town of Ashikaga. There were droves of people. I'm not a fan of crowds (Gandhi, the great mover he was, did not like crowds as he knew ya can't control a mob, and I share his sentiments on that, but not his wardrobe choices) but here in Japan there's something about them that isn't threatening. People are calmer, happier, just looking to have a nice sweaty evening out eating donuts with chopsticks and occasionally dressing like sexy cartoon schoolgirls. So I didn't do my usual verification of adequate nearby exits, and it was refreshing. Check it out before reading on:
I also had the uncomfortable pleasure to dance in a Sano City parade. Apparently, and maybe this would have changed the negotiations of my contract a little bit had my employer reviewed this detail with me, the city employees, as well as other organizations and groups around Sano, participate in this annual festival. Each group had its own attire and ours (shown below) consisted of a blue robe thing (hell if I know what it's called) and a white ball cap. My head isn't designed for ball caps, so you can imagine my (well-controlled) horror when vain little me was handed my urban jungle fatigues. But hey, I can roll with it.
I was told the dance itself was easy and I'd just pick it up and follow along. Wrong. So twenty minutes into this parade my mouth was as classically colorful as the fireworks last weekend. But I can deal. And actually, it was a lot of fun. The spectators again were lively, their big brown eyes full of joy and their little bellies full of mochi. At the end of a series of dances performed to traditional Sano songs — whoa, just as I was typing that there was an earthquake, second one since I arrived — a lady with a microphone, kimono, and camera crew approached me and Melissa, the other ALT from Lancaster, and asked for an interview. Our boss was standing nearby and I grabbed him and said, "we need you." He happily translated for us when we were asked our thoughts about the festival (in hindsight I should have responded that I was expecting something more along the lines of Carnaval; plastic surgery, crime and all). So a week here and we're basically famous.
The following day I was invited by Hiro, my new friend from downstairs, to go to the river with his friend Chris, an American guy who's been here twenty years and learned Japanese by ear because he needed to find a job. I thought about my short swim trunks — just shy of being a little questionable, and DEFINITELY not appropriate for business meetings — and the company I was with, but let it go. I was accepted whether or not my ass cheeks were at risk of an afternoon cameo.
There were a lot of people out to enjoy the sun, water and scratchy weeds this day, and Hiro was curiously the only Japanese person there. There were people from India, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, and the United States of Goddamn f'ing America, son. I made friends with a Brazilian guy (who was clearly Brazilian yet said his father is American and his mother German, hmm) and we chatted in Portuguese. He speaks Portuguese, English, Spanish, and Japanese. Pretty impressive really. That's a lot of grammar rules to keep straight.
Later that evening my supervisor stopped by to bring me a laundry pole to hang my clothes out to dry. My apartment has a little balcony which is essentially just designed to do that, and to house the air conditioning units for the apartment. She reminded me of the festival and so I rode my bike (or rather the bicycle that was issued to me by the Board of Education) over to the festivities and strolled around a bit. The day before it was dancing, and tonight it was groups of people carrying these shrines and following some chants and song. I bumped into some of my new pals and joined them on the walk. There was a little float of taiko drumming and just as I was saying how that's something I wanted to learn, a man pulled me over and handed me a Shime-daiko drum, similar in appearance to a talking drum but played differently. He asked me to join in, so I did, and he explained to me the technique and rhythms before each song. Then he said, "and smile: camera!" And before I knew it there was a lady with a video camera within arm's reach, focus set to my skull. I quickly put on my best cheese, thinking how my girlfriend always says I look miserable in photographs. It's true. I'm working on it. The band cheered me and handshakes and bows and high fives were exchanged, and they gathered around for some group photos. Again, famous.
Further up, there was live music and some games and other festival activities. I walked to the stage to watch the performances, and there was a middle-aged Japanese man on stage with (I think) a Gibson Les Paul and shredding some ear-splitting, hold-onto-your-underwear-lest-they-be-torn-to-shreds-and-found-in-the-next-zip-code guitar riffs to some prerecorded backing tracks. He announced his last song and bent down to cue his iPod® or something, I don't know, and the unmistakable opening grooves of Deep Purple's "Highway Star" came blasting out of the PA system. Curiously, it wasn't like a karaoke song with the vocal track removed, but rather the actual song just turned down in volume enough so that Jumpin' Jack Japan and his buttery guitar solos could be heard over the music. He started to sing along and I thought, "this is okay, yeah." But as I watched his mouth and listened to his words I realized he had no damn clue as to the lyrics of the song, and at times would just sort of fade out all together, the concentration hanging on his face like a baby koala clinging to its mother as it's ferried around the eucalyptus canopy. And the audience loved it. They cheered, they threw their fists in the air, they screamed and applauded. Even over the slightly dissonant solo that battled the original one on the actual song, which could be heard plain as day to any discerning fan, they cheered. I looked around for a telltale beard and horse and buggy, but saw nothing.
Japan, you're welcome at my place any time.
Girlfriend américaine
I did not say you look miserable in pictures, I just said you look better when you smile! Haha jeez, well I'm glad you're having all sorts of fun regardless. :) bisous x
Ah, meu amor, it will be a lot more fun when you are here. And every picture will warrant a smile. Te amo, ja sabe.
Jason Lobley
That sounds like a lot of fun! I have a hard time relaxing in large crowds as well especially celebrations, concerts not so much. You are totally going to be ripping it in some band soon enough!
Well the guy below my apartment keeps asking if I can play death metal and thrash metal and so on, and I keep telling him I can't. Jeremy would love him; he was wearing a Meshuggah shirt the other day and Sepultura the next. I was talking to another guy about jamming sometime, but he's American, so my goal of being in a Japanese band has yet to be realized.
I'm currently looking into building a teleportation device so I can witness this dancing. I'll report back with a progress report.
Why dont't I just send you a video? Then you can focus your Asian math and science prowess on creating a time machine so that I can go back in time to see Styx perform Mr. Roboto.
How exciting that you already had a drumming encounter! Yay! Famous in a few weeks - I had no doubt. You will have shortly picked up Japanese to negotiate your vegan dishes with and all will be well! Rock on!
The Japanese I think will be a slow process, but I've got down about half the hiragana so far. Not bad for less than a week and a half, but it's still creeping along.
Sounds like a great time!
You are always welcome here. There is plenty of space, and I've got a rice cooker. And you have to try the funny toilets.
I'm loving these posts, Marshall! It sounds like it has already been a pretty enlightening and fun experience for you. I am openly and unabashedly envious :)
Thanks for sticking around and reading along! It's fun so far, but the communication barriers and missing my girlfriend, and finding food I can eat all add to the challenge.
I am so happy that you have acquired celebrity status and are having such a good time but I am concerned about the earthquakes that you mention. How often and how strong?
Don't worry, mother. They do happen regularly I'm told, but it's just part of life living on a volcanic island sitting on a fault line. We were instructed not to stack dishes or other items too high as they'll just vibrate off of themselves and onto the floor. This one was around 4-point-something according to my coworker. You should be more concerned that your son isn't making stupid decisions. That'll keep your mind moving. :) I love you!
Your adventures sound great! -and it's only been a fortnight. I love being kept abreast, and look forward to the next installment. Love from Lanc.
Thanks Abisnail! It's been good so far. Give my love to the family.

S (Scripture): Romans 4:9 Is this blessedness then for the circumcision or also for the uncircumcision? For we say, "faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness." 10 How then was it credited to him? Was he circumcised at the time, or not? No, he was not circumcised but uncircumcised! 11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, so that he would become the father of all those who believe but have never been circumcised, that they too could have righteousness credited to them. 12 And he is also the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham possessed when he was still uncircumcised.
O (Observation): In chapter 4, Paul opens up a diatribe directed towards the Jews. He makes references to Abraham and David, important figures to Jews, but who mean nothing to the Gentiles.
Now, a big deal for the Jews was the outward sign of the covenant between God and God's people. God declared to Abraham that God would make out of Abraham a great people, and kings would come from his line of descendants. The people of Abraham, in return, would then circumcise their male children as a sign that they are God's people. After all, God commanded that the people circumcise their male children as a sign of faithfulness on the people's part.
Over time, circumcision was seen as the work of the people to show their dedication to God. But also, circumcision became this sort of entry into God's covenant without any real impact on the life of God's people. They basically started taking God's grace for granted. They began to think that if one was circumcised, one basically had a free ticket to Abraham's lineage and that one who was circumcised could do no wrong.
And then, eventually, circimcision became the EXCLUSIVE way to God's grace. The Hebrew people took circumcision as the "be all, end all" sign of God's grace. They began to believe that the only way to God's grace and inheritance was to be circumcised, to the exclusion of all other ways and people. The prevailing mindset of the Hebrew people became this: Gentiles were CERTAINLY not ever going to be a part of God's family.
So, when Jesus and Paul started challenging this idea of the exclusive availaiblity of God's grace, this was a major challenge to the theology and customs of the Hebrew people.
Paul is making the case that Abraham wasn't circumcised when he was graced with God's promises. The circumcision was simply an outward sign of an inward grace. Circumcision was the result of receiving God's grace, not the cause of receiving it.
Paul was calling on the Jews to humble themselves and to give some thought to the idea that grace and blessing are possible outside of circumcision.
A (Application): Churches these days have all kinds of odd customs to make people feel like they are part of the church (or NOT part of it). Some are new customs, but even ancient rites seem to lose their impact.
As sacred as it is for me, I wonder if those not of the Christian faith view baptism today just like Gentiles viewed circumcision back in Paul's day? I hope not! But then, I wonder.
Circumcision back in Paul's day is not the same thing as baptism, but I can see how it might be viewed this way. As if baptism was the exclusive way for God's grace to work.
I have spoke about this before, how we as Christians can start to use our baptism like Jews used circumcision: as a tool of exclusion and as something we take for granted!
We practice making people feel welcome in our congregation, even though I'm sure we fall short. But we really try to help people feel welcome, even if they have not been baptized. We view becoming a part of our congregation as an exploratory journey towards baptism. Some will be baptized and receive God's Spirit in this way, but I have to believe that God can instill faith in other ways, too.
God continues to surprise us all (as seen in Scripture and in my own personal experiences). To narrow down God's avenues of grace is dangerous territory for me (or anyone).
So, should we get rid of baptism? Certainly not! Is baptism still a good thing? Absolutely!
So let us treat all people with respect. Let us be diligent in not taking baptism for granted. Let us be forgiving as God forgives and graces us.
What "hang ups" do you have about the Christian Church these days?
P (Prayer): Lord, help us to be grateful for your grace. Amen.

Michael, you are "spot on". I'm afraid that the "church" sometimes becomes an exclusive club that people have to" know" certain things and "do" certain things in order to become a member. An outsider feels just like that…an outsider who has no idea what they must or must not do in to belong. Jesus didn't set up shop (a church) and then invite people to attend ….He went OUT into the world , meeting the people where they were…telling/showing them God's indescribable love for them.
Thanks for the affirmation. We use a mantra of UP-IN-OUT to remind us that we are called to spend time with God, with fellow disciples, AND with strangers / neighbors.

The UK Government recently published its annual report on its export control policies. Dechert's International Trade and EU law team highlights the main points of interest for exporters of military or dual-use goods.
In the foreword to the report, the four responsible Secretaries of State (for the Foreign Office, Defence, Business and International Development) note that export licensing in 2015 presented a range of complex challenges: "The number of conflicts worldwide and the increasing global and regional threats from terrorist groups, such as Daesh, has reinforced and increased the importance of rigorous and responsible decision-making on export controls." Nonetheless, licensing continued apace, with 17,550 Standard Individual Export Licence applications processed, 69% of them within 20 working days, against the published target of 70%.

Social Security SystemGovernment Orders
February 2nd, 1994 / 5:10 p.m.
Pierre De Savoye Bloc Portneuf, QC
Madam Speaker, this is very kind of you. In a way I am glad you interrupted me, because the hon. member has said things I did not hear in the speech of the previous speaker who has now left.
The hon. member spoke about training. He was proposing that manpower be upgraded to a level which would allow it to fill the more technical jobs now offered. In that sense, I quite agree with my colleague, the hon. member for Lincoln.
This being said, I am sure that the hon. member will agree that, in Canada, industries and companies differ according to the local natural resources or the contacts with our neighbour to the south of the 47th parallel. Therefore, the needs are different.
Is it possible to direct an operation of such complexity and such diversity from Ottawa? I do not think so, but I would like the opinion of the hon. member on that.
I would like to mention a solution that works in Quebec, but would probably work even better if the federal government was willing to follow up on it. Perhaps he heard about the Société québécoise de développement de la main-d'oeuvre. This organization would be more than willing to undertake precisely what he mentioned. In my opinion, it is high time that his colleagues in the Liberal caucus take into consideration his brilliant ideas, especially the previous speakers. I wish he could propose a regionalization of actions with the help, for example, of the Société québécoise de développement de la main-d'oeuvre. I would like to hear the comments of the hon. member for Lincoln on that.


A miner who doesn't know why he is alive left Fernie Memorial Hospital on Tuesday. Pete Rotella, 37, of Fenrie was blown away about 60 feet from the entrance to Balmer North Mine Monday afternoon in the blast which killed 15 of his companions. With parts of the Snowshed flying around him, his body turning over and over in the tremendous blast, the miner was tossed over the embankment and was brought up short about 150 feet down the steep mountainside by some low bushes.
I was just at the mine entrance and I had just adjusted my miner's lamp when the blast hit me, said Rotella as he limped around on crutches at Fernie Memorial Hospital Tuesday morning.
The only injury he received in his 150 foot flight through the air was a bruised ankle. " I think I hurt it on a stone,"he said.
Next thing he remembered after the blast was walking into Fred Sowchuk's garage about 200 yards away from the pithead.
Mr. Rotella was hopping on one leg around the hospital from early Tuesday morning, chatting with his colleagues who were more seriously injured and who were in beds in adjoining rooms at the hospital.
He wasn't sure of his reaction to his miraculous escape when he was at the hospital.

A Role for Somatosensory Cortices in the Visual Recognition of Emotion as Revealed by Three-Dimensional Lesion Mapping
Adolphs, Ralph and Damasio, Hanna and Tranel, Daniel and Cooper, Greg and Damasio, Antonio R. (2000) A Role for Somatosensory Cortices in the Visual Recognition of Emotion as Revealed by Three-Dimensional Lesion Mapping. Journal of Neuroscience, 20 (7). pp. 2683-2690. ISSN 0270-6474. PMCID PMC6772225. doi:10.1523/jneurosci.20-07-02683.2000. https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20200127-082804055
Although lesion and functional imaging studies have broadly implicated the right hemisphere in the recognition of emotion, neither the underlying processes nor the precise anatomical correlates are well understood. We addressed these two issues in a quantitative study of 108 subjects with focal brain lesions, using three different tasks that assessed the recognition and naming of six basic emotions from facial expressions. Lesions were analyzed as a function of task performance by coregistration in a common brain space, and statistical analyses of their joint volumetric density revealed specific regions in which damage was significantly associated with impairment. We show that recognizing emotions from visually presented facial expressions requires right somatosensory-related cortices. The findings are consistent with the idea that we recognize another individual's emotional state by internally generating somatosensory representations that simulate how the other individual would feel when displaying a certain facial expression. Follow-up experiments revealed that conceptual knowledge and knowledge of the name of the emotion draw on neuroanatomically separable systems. Right somatosensory-related cortices thus constitute an additional critical component that functions together with structures such as the amygdala and right visual cortices in retrieving socially relevant information from faces.

-100L), class = "data.frame")

I created a basic violin plot with a boxplot, and I want to add an error box. Here is some code:
  dplyr::summarize(mean=mean(score), se=sd(score)/sqrt(n()),
            upper=mean+(2*se), lower=mean-(2*se))

p <- ggplot() +
  geom_violin(data=dt, aes(x=together, y=score, fill=second, color=second)) +
  geom_point(data=errbar_lims, aes(x=together, y=mean), size=3) +
  geom_errorbar(aes(x=errbar_lims$together, ymax=errbar_lims$upper,
                    ymin=errbar_lims$lower), stat='identity', width=.25) +
  theme_minimal()

print(p)

This is what I get:
The errors are only shown for the two groups.

How can I add define the errors and display an error box to all four violins? I there a way to overlay the error box on the violins? like those:

Any help would be appreciated!

A: You have a total of four violins on your plot, because you have placed the factor level together along the x axis, and used the column second for your fill aesthetic. Each value of together therefore has two violins: one for "Negative Second" and one for "Positive Second".
The problem is that when you made the data frame errbar_lims, you only grouped by together, so if we examine it we will see it does not contain any information about second. It only has two rows, so can only produce two error bars:
errbar_lims
#> # A tibble: 2 x 5
#>   together         mean    se upper lower
#>   <fct>           <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 Shared Negative  53.3  1.92  57.1  49.4
#> 2 Shared Positive  45.3  2.00  49.3  41.3

What you are looking for is a data frame with four rows to cover all 4 possible combinations of together and second. You could achieve that by doing this:
errbar_lims <- group_by(dt, together, second) %>%
  summarize(mean  = mean(score),
            se    = sd(score) / sqrt(n()),
            upper = mean + (2 * se),
            lower = mean - (2 * se))

If we examine this, we will see it has the four rows that we need for our four error bars:
errbar_lims
#> # A tibble: 4 x 6
#> # Groups:   together [2]
#>   together        second           mean    se upper lower
#>   <fct>           <fct>           <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 Shared Negative Negative Second  55.7  3.35  62.4  49.0
#> 2 Shared Negative Positive Second  50.9  1.91  54.8  47.1
#> 3 Shared Positive Negative Second  45.0  3.02  51.1  39.0
#> 4 Shared Positive Positive Second  45.5  2.69  50.9  40.2

Now we can plot, but we need to remember to tell geom_point and geom_errorbar that they should be grouped according to the second column. We also need to tell them we want the geoms to be dodged so that they are not all plotted between the violins:
ggplot(dt, aes(x = together, fill = second)) +
  geom_violin(aes(y = score, color = second)) +
  geom_point(data = errbar_lims, aes(x = together, y = mean, group = second),
             size = 3,
             position = position_dodge(width = 0.9)) +
  geom_errorbar(data = errbar_lims,
                aes(ymax = upper, ymin = lower, group = second),
                stat = 'identity',
                position = position_dodge(width = 0.9),
                width = 0.25) +
         theme_minimal()

When mobile GPS devices became popular a few years ago I was fascinated by the capability of being able to navigate unfamiliar roads confidently and efficiently. I purchased one of the early generation Magellan GPS models with all of the bells and whistles and I enthusiastically took off on a road trip.
One thing that I had not counted on was the amount of button pushing and screen navigation required to operate the GPS properly. Who has time to read a thick manual full of directions on how to operate a GPS? Not me! I mastered the basics features and off I had gone on my voyage.
On one particular leg of my journey I decided that I wanted to change the destination that I had previously programmed into the GPS. I attempted to do this while I was driving and much to my surprise I became quite a moving road hazard.
I discovered that attempting to program my new destination into the device required a considerable amount of concentration. As I punched buttons and touched the screen I glanced up at the road only to realize that I was crossing the lane divider. A quick swerve got me back into my lane, but it dawned on me that this kind of multitasking was putting me and everyone else on the road in danger. I left the GPS alone and took the next highway exit in order to pull over and program the device properly.
"People can't multitask very well, and when people say they can, they're deluding themselves," said neuroscientist Earl Miller. "The brain is very good at deluding itself." Miller, a Picower professor of neuroscience at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) , says that for the most part, we simply can't focus on more than one thing at a time. What we can do, he said, is shift our focus from one thing to the next with astonishing speed.
OK, so I was not really multitasking. But it made me think about my motivation for programming my GPS while driving, which was mainly to save time. Saving time can cost lives when multitasking while driving. Use of cell phones or texting while driving has been highly correlated with traffic accidents leading many states to outlaw their use behind the wheel.
Beyond the obvious hazards of multitasking while driving I've learned a real appreciation for the ability to block out distractions and to be able to give my full attention to one task at a time. With all of the electronic devices at our disposal, the need and ability for us to focus our concentration is constantly challenged.
People are not as good at doing two things simultaneously as well as they can perform a single task, contrary to popular belief. While a little time might be saved by multitasking errors mount, stress increases, and efficiency plummets. The penalties of multitasking far outweigh the benefits. Do not get trapped into multitasking because "everyone's doing it". Everyone is not doing it well, and it's not worth the cost.

Only one alternative fuel can lower your total cost-of-ownership while reducing emissions.
Even when conventional fuel prices are low, a vehicle's additional costs — like fuel, fluids, filters, and repairs — can drain your budget. Over a vehicle's lifetime, propane autogas is healthier for every line of the budget sheet.
Propane autogas vehicles are proven to deliver comparable horsepower, torque, and towing capacity to conventionally-fueled models.
Adopting propane autogas is a sure strategy for greening your fleet without investing in the costly emissions technology of today's diesel vehicles.
While diesel engines spend valuable time in the shop for repairs on complex emissions systems, propane autogas vehicles keep your business running with reliable operation.
Propane autogas infrastructure grows with your fleet. Propane providers specialize in helping fleets choose the right refueling option based on the fleet size, routes, budget, and facility space.
Choose from a variety of light- to medium-duty applications, available from all major manufacturers as OEM-dedicated vehicles or certified conversions.


When I say 'a bear' I mean bear-like. Like, as big as a bear, only maybe bigger. He wanted a piece of me and he got it. That's one mean little groundhog.
Except it wasn't little. Just making sure you're clear on this.
Now I've got this thing wrapped around my head, the cone of shame wrapped around my neck, and Him, wrapped around my little finger. Lots of baby-talk happening in that quarter – which I'm milking. I'm milking it like crazy, baby. Lap-time. Extra ball-throwing. Got a bit of His steak on Tuesday and pretty sure I can go for gold and get a new bed out of this whole thing by the end of the week.
Her, not so much. She's a little pissed off about how much the vet costs these days and is somehow morphing that into a discussion about the evils of student loans. Seriously, this is what She does. Nothing is simple. If you start talking about how awesome the Caps are, She'll turn that into a full blown discussion of sports idolatry and how hockey games turn June Cleavers into Melissa McCarthys and how we're all going the way of Rome.
Just cause you said the Caps were cool.
Anyway, I'm lucky to get a pain pill on time, but then, I think The Boy and The Girl had similar issues any time they got hurt over the years. There's a lot of 'what-doesn't-destroy-you-makes-you-stronger' going on in this house. I'm a Jack Russell so I can respect that, but it doesn't bode well for my new bed.
So, the plan is, I get this thing off, do a few laps and get in fighting shape (house arrest is doing ugly things to my muscle tone) and then I find that dirtbag of a groundhog and give him a few reasons why he should have taken a bigger bite.
Oh no!!! You go for him Mungo, how dare he.
Mungo, you mean you didn't win the battle, but have scars to show everyone you tried??? So sorry you're injured, but you're right. The Mr. will probably spring for a new bed if you keep laying in his lap. Keep it up!

It is compulsory for an employer to provide their employees with a P60 by the 31st May 2019.
What is shown on my P60?
A P60 document shows an employee's taxable earnings in a specific tax year. It will show the amount of deductions taken from pay such as tax, national insurance and student loans, and it will also show whether any statutory payments have been received within the tax year.
Why do I need a P60?
A P60 is very useful if you need to prove your earnings or deductions for a specific tax year. It is a highly recognized document and it can be used for obtaining a mortgage or claiming tax credits, for example.
What do I need to do if my P60 is incorrect?
P60 information can be checked by using your payslips. If your P60 is showing any incorrect information, then please contact your employer and explain why it is incorrect. Your employer can issue you with a new P60, marked as a replacement, or give you a letter which explains the changes to your P60.
If you have lost or mislaid your P60 then please contact your employer and they will issue you with a replacement copy. It is also possible to obtain the details through HMRC personal tax account service.


The Wireless PA receiver equipped with this optional emergency backup battery will temporarily power the radio if primary power is interrupted. The battery is a 1300mAH rechargeable battery pack that is trickle charged by the Wireless PA receiver and is not intended to operate the radio for an extended period of time. For applications where AC power for the receiver is not available, the Loudmouth receiver must be powered by an external +12 VDC battery. The Wireless PA can then be configured for battery powered operation to maximize battery life.

STAFF HIGHLIGHT
Name: Emily Ross
Position: Unconditional Education Coach at Horace Mann Elementary School
What led you to your current position?
After getting an MSW, I was seeking a position that blended my interests in both systems level and individual level work. A trusted friend (and Unconditional Education Coach) encouraged me to apply for this role. Given my longstanding interest in issues related to school culture and climate, the UE Coach role seemed like a good match!
Fun Fact: I enjoy fostering dogs and being a pen pal (snail mail).
A Favorite Quote: To build community requires vigilant awareness of the work we must continually do to undermine the socialization that leads us to behave in ways that perpetuate domination." –bell hooks
What does your average day look like?
My day always starts with walking my dog, a favorite part of each day. Work days vary but usually consist of emails, meetings, collaborating with school staff, checking in with students, facilitating social skills groups and responding to emergent issues. In the evenings I participate in local community organizing efforts, catch up on my to-do list, or settle in to the couch with my partner and our dog.
Why do you do this work?
I have had a tumultuous relationship with our public education system(s) as have many of my most cherished loved ones. Having opportunities to work towards inclusive, equitable learning communities carries a lot of meaning for me.
What hope do you have for the future of All-In?
To incorporate community engagement into our praxis, to ensure our programming is family-driven.
SCHOOL HIGHLIGHT: J.O. Ford Elementary School
Source: Sally Swanson Architects, Inc .
J.O. Ford Elementary School is a public TK- 6th grade school in Richmond, California. Seneca's Unconditional Education has been partnering with Ford since the beginning of this school year. We have been supporting the school as they develop their vision and beliefs around Ford's impact on students and the community. There have already been many success stories on both a macro and micro level at Ford, and we look forward to creating many more.
Our Culture and Climate team has been hard at work creating school-wide interventions. We have successfully created a behavior matrix of expected behavior. During Passport to Expectations Week, classes ventured to all different areas of the school to learn what was expected and receive their cougar paw stamp! Teachers and staff are already looking forward to starting off next school year with the same activity. Students know exactly how to Show Respect, Make Good Decisions, and Fix Problems all around the school and...Wow! They are doing it! Cougar Pride Tickets have become a highlight for both students and staff as we see the benefits of acknowledging and awarding students for positive behavior. When you walk into the lunchroom, you may notice students voluntarily cleaning up the area around their table. They are working to keep Ford clean and helping to earn their class the Golden Dust Pan - a dust pan made out of real fake gold!
There have also been many small successes as students enter and exit our Student Success Team Process. Teachers and staff have participated in multiple trauma-informed education trainings and a workshop on creating calming spaces in the classroom. Jose*, a first grader, had a very difficult time in his kindergarten year and ended up spending the end of the year doing a study-from-home program. He is bright and eager to learn. In first grade, he quickly graduated from his academic intervention group, but continued to struggle with regulating his emotions and controlling his body. His teacher reached out Seneca very early at the beginning of the school year and we started documenting interventions. Jose's teacher has done a fabulous job creating a strong relationship with him and his family. The parent and teacher communicate daily with a notebook. In addition, all staff that work with Jose have been trained on how he best responds to redirections. We noticed that Jose struggles most after transitioning from recess. A fifth grade student, who graduated from the social skills program, Calm Club, mentors Jose and meets him by the door to help him transition in while practicing the calming skills they have learned. Jose's teacher has a signal and routine for him to use his calming box and knows Jose's signals when he needs a break outside of the classroom. Jose continues to meet with the Seneca First Grade Calm Club and is excited about learning new skills. Jose is finishing his first grade school year with pride. He has made friends and enjoys being in his class and, we have seen a drastic reduction in Office Discipline Referrals!
Please feel free to stop by at J.O. Ford, and see how the School and Seneca's Unconditional Education are partnering to make these and many more success stories happen.

ACADEMIC STRAND UPDATE: Building Awareness and Beyond...
A recent NPR article, "His Teacher Told Him He Wouldn't Go to College, Then He Did", highlights the dramatic statistics related to discipline and drop-out rates for African-American students with disabilities. "The National Center for Learning Disabilities analyzed data from the U.S. Department of Education and found that students with learning disabilities drop out at nearly three times the rate of students overall. And for black students, dropping out is even more likely." We know that this is not acceptable. But what do we do to address and reverse this overwhelming societal problem?
Throughout this school year, we have engaged in conversations and activities to build our awareness and shared understanding of cultural competency, implicit bias, critical conversations, brave spaces, power and privilege. We've read other posts and articles shared on this blog about disproportionality in discipline and special education. Moving forward, the Academic Strand plans to continue building our awareness by doing some summer reading. We're breaking into "book clubs"—each reading one of four selections from a list of recommended books featured on Seneca's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion blog. Consider choosing one (or more!) and reading along with us!
Multiplication is for White People: Raising Expectations for Other People's Children by Lisa Delpit
Whistling Vivaldi: How Stereotypes Affect Us and What We Can Do by Claude M. Steele
Blind Spot: Hidden Biases of Good People by Mahzarin R. Banaji
For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood… and the Rest of Y'all Too: Reality Pedagogy and Urban Education by Christopher Emdin
As the article states, "If teachers aren't aware of the stereotypes minorities and special ed students face… the cycle continues." We commit to breaking that cycle. Check back in with us in the fall to hear what we've learned!
Alli Guilfoil, Director of Academic Intervention
Name: Ashley Crittendon
Position: Senior Student Support Assistant
I have always liked to help others do the best in the job and when ever I got the chance, I would share my experiences, give advice, and answer questions for my fellow SSAs. I feel that answering questions for other coworkers has helped me become really confident and sure of myself and the work that I am doing.
Fun Fact: Outside of Seneca, I work as a track coach for two teams (a high school and youth team). I just have a passion for working with children in various aspects.
I support students in the classroom where I help with behavioral and academics needs. If I'm not in the classroom, you can catch me on the basketball court during recess or lunch showing the kids how to play!
I know that our clients go through a lot outside of school that is beyond their control, so I want to give them access to tools and strategies that will help them be successful individuals in school and beyond.
I hope to continue to have the "heavy, deep, and real" conversations in order to really dig deep into the work that we do, so that we can continue to make an impact on our clients and their families.
SCHOOL HIGHLIGHT: One Purpose School
We are excited to share with you about one of our public charter school partnerships, OnePurpose School. This TK-2nd grade charter opened its doors in August 2015 and is excited to be finishing year two strong. OnePurpose School is located in the Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco. Currently, there are 125 students enrolled, and next year we will be growing with our students and introducing a 3rd grade classroom. Seneca's Unconditional Education program has been partnering with OnePurpose (OP) since the beginning. We have been supporting the school's vision and belief that all students, given the resources they need, are able to be successful in school, go to and graduate from college. There have already been many success stories here at OP and we are looking forward to even more as we grow. We'd like to take some time and share two with you.
One success story is about a current second grade student. Ana* came into 1st grade last year at OP on a pre-reading level (which is typically the level students enter at in Kindergarten). She is an EL student and her parents came into school concerned about her learning. Ana had never received additional supports at her previous school; however, at OnePurpose she entered into academic intervention immediately and began making progress. After a year of intervention, relationship building with her family, and self-confidence building for Ana through social skill groups, we are excited to report that she is now on grade level and is exited from her intervention groups.
Another success story is about a 1st grade student who started at OP in Kindergarten. During this time, all teachers were trained on trauma-informed education and learned different strategies to support students in the classroom. Brandon* was able to maintain his academics in class, however, at times became easily frustrated and would respond to this frustration by putting his hands on other students and/or running out of the classroom leading to many office referrals. In Kindergarten he had a star chart, which we found was helpful, however, we continued to notice behavior. As a team, we strategically placed him his 1st grade classroom and provided him with tickets that he could use throughout the day to take breaks. His teacher utilized PBIS strategies in class by setting clear expectations. Brandon knew what to expect in his classroom. She also built a strong relationship with Brandon and his mom. At this time, we are happy to report that Brandon continues to remain on grade level and does not use his break cards anymore. He has not had an office referral since September. He would rather be in his classroom community and "not miss out".
Feel free to come by and check out how Unconditional Education and OnePurpose School are working together to make these success stories possible. We have safe created a space for students to have ownership and success within their own school experiences.

STAFF GUEST POST: Socioeconomic Status and Inclusion
Inclusive education provides us with a great idea for equality. It represents an all-encompassing belief system that increases the social milieu, achievement, and integration of children with disabilities into general education settings. Shaping a school to implement an inclusive environment takes more than a set of strategies, it is a belief system that holds that each student can and will learn no matter the needs of that student. Along with this belief, inclusivity calls for the restructuring of an entire school system. The restructuring of a school system requires an influx of resources, both in finances, personal, and materials. With inclusion spreading through schools in the nation, how can we as a community ensure that schools within low socioeconomic areas receive adequate resources in support of inclusive practices?

SENECA SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF SENATE BILL 191
While our All-in! staff continue to show up to partnership schools every day to promote Unconditional Education for students, families, and educators, Seneca is also working hard at the state level to support policy shifts that would set the stage for this holistic and integrated approach to public education.
Earlier this year, Ken and I presented the work of Unconditional Education to the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission. During this presentation, Senator Beall, who sits on the committee, asked that Seneca support his efforts to develop a bill that would promote this integrated approach throughout the state. This spring, Senator Beall introduced Senate Bill 191 which has (so far) passed both the Education and Health Committees with unanimous support.
SB 191 sets up the framework for financial incentives from state revenue to support partnerships amongst county mental health departments and school districts. Through this collaboration, districts would be expected to develop and pilot a program that in addition to reflecting each school's specified culture and needs, includes all of the following:
Leveraging of school and community resources to offer comprehensive multi-tiered interventions on a sustainable basis;
An initial school climate assessment that includes information from multiple specified stakeholders that is used to inform the selection of strategies and interventions that reflect the culture and goals of the school;
A coordination of services team that considers referrals for services, oversees schoolwide efforts, and uses data-informed processes to identify struggling pupils who require early interventions;
Whole school strategies that address school climate and universal pupil well-being;
Targeted interventions for pupils with identified social-emotional, behavioral, and academic needs;
Intensive services that can reduce the need for pupil's referral to special education or placement in more restrictive, isolated settings;
Strategies and practices that ensure parent engagement with the school.
Sound familiar?! The development and support of this bill is further proof that the work you are doing every day is seen as an example of best practice that is worth learning from and replicating. Thank you for serving as an example in this incredibly important work – your efforts are being recognized more than you may know!

It was a privilege to have Nigel Wright as speaker at Engage Tasmania, our Baptist State Conference, last weekend. Nigel is principal of Spurgeon's College, London, and with his wife Judy, journeyed to Hobart for the conference. It was a delight to have lunch with them last Monday and show them both around our buildings at Hobart Baptist. Given the influence of Spurgeon, and his son Thomas, in the early life of Hobart Baptist Church it was a great reminder of the profound heritage we have.
church without a future" and reminded us that historically, Baptists are the "radical Protestants." Better described as a "movement of Christians" than a denomination, Baptists have often been at the pioneering edge in areas such as the abolition of the slave trade, issues of religious liberty and the ministry of women.
Nigel called us to revive the radical stance of our forebears and return to a New Testament vision of the church which is at the core of our Baptist Heritage: believers' church, believers' baptism, disavowing Constantinian influences and the separation of the powers of state and church. While acknowledging the positive and negative influences of tradition, he called for the ongoing transformation of our congregations to meet the challenges of our day.
All this reminded me of the great heritage we have here at Hobart Baptist Church. It was encouraging to remember that while the church faces significant challenges, those who have gone before us have travelled similar roads. They too faced challenges that at times seemed insurmountable, yet they persevered and God brought them through. Why can't it be the same for us?
By recalling our radical roots we can be inspired. Taking time to look back at our history reminds us of where we have come from, and of the journey we are on with the Holy Spirit. Church can and should be an exciting place to be. It may be difficult at times, and increasingly difficult in the midst of an increasingly hostile environment, but the future need not be dark and glooming, but exciting.
God still loves his church, Jesus is still building his church, and the Holy Spirit is at work. Let us be encouraged and continue to ask God to enable the church, no matter what denomination, to be all that God desires it to be.

Ato Boldon inducted into ICS Wall of Fame
By	Leighton Levy June 17, 2019
Noted broadcaster and coach, Trinidad and Tobago's Ato Boldon said he is elated to have been entered into the Institute of Caribbean Studies (ICS) Wall of Fame.
ICS is dedicated to building bridges between Caribbean Americans and the US population at large. Together with partner organizations from industry, government and civil society, their objective is to provide education and advocacy and action on issues impacting Caribbean peoples to enable their growth, and prosperity in the ever-changing global marketplace.
Boldon, a four-time Olympic medallist and successful broadcaster, is the coach of Jamaica's Briana Williams, the double 2019 World U20 champion. However, Boldon has enjoyed successful careers in politics and coaching as well as several other pursuits.
"He is widely viewed as one of the all-time leading sportsmen in the history of the Caribbean, as well as one of its most internationally-recognizable spokesman," the ICS said in a statement.
The 45-year-old Boldon was a former opposition spokesman in the TT Parliament and continues to be one of the best track and field and sports analysts for NBC Sports.
NBC said Boldon joined its Olympics broadcasting team in 2008 and served as a track and field analyst for NBC's coverage of the Beijing Olympic Games. Boldon continued in that role during the 2012 London Olympic Games and most recently, he served as an Olympic correspondent at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang.
He also wrote, produced and directed the film Once in A Lifetime: Boldon in Bahrain.
"I appreciate all awards because it means people recognize what you work tirelessly on," he told Sportsmax.TV.
"I have worked very hard to become a good broadcaster, so any time that gets acknowledged, I'm elated."
Boldon joins other Caribbean luminaries like actress Sheryl-Lee Ralph and Rihanna who have been inducted into the ICS Wall of Fame.

Reggae Warriors to face England in historic international this autumn
Bahamian Olympic champion Shaunae Miller-Uibo has admitted she is considering the 200m, 400m sprint double at the upcoming IAAF World Championships in Doha but only if the organisers amend the schedule.
The 25-year-old star has displayed splendid form over both distances for the past several months. Her most recent outing, a dominant half-lap sprint at the Herculis EBS in Monaco last Friday, saw Miller-Uibo pull clear of a quality field, which included 2016 Olympic 100-200m champion Elaine Thompson and Dafne Schippers, the 2017 world 200m champion and 2016 Olympic silver medalist. The athlete is even more of a dominant force in the one-lap event but knows first hand the demands of attempting the sprint double. At the 2017 World Championships, an obviously overworked Miller-Uibo settled for the bronze medal in the 200 metres race and finished fourth in the 400 metres event.
Impressed with her performance at the weekend, however, the athlete admitted that attempting the double was once again a possibility. "I feel pretty good, like I did a good job out there," Miller-Uibo said. "I'm happy with how the race went. The quicker I get at 200m, the quicker I'd be at 400 and I'm really happy with where I'm at right now." "My coach said he was very happy with how I ran the turn. If they can change the timetable for the Olympics, I'd be more than happy to double."
Shaunae Miller-Uibo continued her unbeaten streak this season and Steven Gardiner won a 400m surrounded by controversy at the Diamond League meeting in Monaco on Friday.
Shanieka Ricketts produced a 14.67m performance for third on the first day of the Diamond League meeting in Monaco on Thursday.

Man remains critically ill after Eltham police chase and bridge drama
A Romanian hung from this wall next to the A2 in Eltham after allegedly attempting to escape police
A ROMANIAN man remains in a critical condition in hospital after allegedly attempting to escape police by hanging off a wall next to a dual-carriageway.
Police were called to Eltham station on Sunday (October 26) at 5.37pm after a member of the public reported a man acting suspiciously by a cash machine.
According to Greenwich police, officers chased the 24-year-old man who then climbed over railings and on to the ledge of a 40 metre high wall next to the A2.
Police say the man hung by his fingertips to the ledge and two officers held him through the railings to prevent him from falling.
The man was held by officers for about 20 minutes and at about 6pm police say he became unwell and stopped breathing.
Ambulance and fire services were called and the man was brought to the ground using a hydraulic platform.
He was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich, where he remains in a critical condition.
Greenwich police are investigating the incident.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has been notified as a matter of course.


Do other moms at the playground think you're weird?
Whether you have little in common with the moms you meet in your area or have a great mama community and want to connect with others, you are invited to attend Mama Gathering 2003 in Los Angeles in July 2003.
Mama Gathering is an alternative parenting conference for people who carved out alternatives when they realized that the advice coming from the most available sources sucked and their families didn't look like that anyway.
It's an effort to build and strengthen our community of families who understand that raising children who are kind and compassionate and fair is a fundamentally necessary part of positive social change. It's a time to commiserate and laugh and learn and plan and eat and talk about the things we're discouraged from talking about, in a place where no one will tell your kid he's wearing girl shoes. IT'S A BIG PARTY!
Mama Gathering is an independent, volunteer-produced, event-- a grassroots effort to bring together a huge and far-flung community of radical mamas.
Pack up the kids and make it your family vacation or enlist your best mama friends and make it a well-deserved getaway. There will be fun, food, workshops, the beach, a party and a whole passel of gorgeous, smarty-pants mamas.
Advance registration is necessary and the earlier you register, the closer you are to the front of the line when it comes time to pick workshops.
Sign up for the email list at mamagathering@bust.com for updates, and check back for site updates as the planning progresses.
They hope that you leave with some useful tools and a lot of new friends. Whether you're coming for workshops or to laze on the beach with your mama friends.
Spread the word, link the site, and donate ad space or merchandise or your talents.

Today, an ancient American metropolis. The University of Houston's Music School presents this program about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them.
What's the oldest city in America? Jamestown, Virginia, founded in 1607? The chamber of commerce of St. Augustine, Florida, would beg to differ, claiming that city was settled 42 years earlier, in 1565. Well, they're both wrong. The very question has a terrible presumption built into it: that our continent was a virgin wilderness populated by wandering noble savages, and that there were somehow no "cities" in America when the Europeans came. But there were. The gleaming city of Tenochtitlán, now Mexico City, is the most famous example. At the time of its conquest in 1521, the Aztecs' capital was probably the world's fourth-largest city.
But on the eastern floodplain of the Mississippi river, near present day St. Louis, once sat a far more ancient and mysterious metropolis. We call it "Cahokia" after an unrelated tribe that settled there centuries later. That's because we really have no idea what the builders called their city. They left behind pottery, ceremonial art, games and weapons. Their trade network was vast, stretching from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. But their most enduring legacy is a series of gigantic earthen mounds. The largest is over ten stories high.
An artist's recreation of historical Cahokia.
Cahokia was first settled sometime around 600 AD. The practice of moundbuilding, however, dates back much further. The oldest mound in North America, near Monroe, Louisiana, is a thousand years older than Egypt's pyramids. When Europeans first settled the Ohio valley, they counted over 10,000 mounds. Some were in the form of serpents, bears and birds. Others were burial mounds. Yet no one, including the local tribes, seemed to know who built them. Colonial Americans fantasized that they were built by Romans, or Phoenicians, or the lost tribes of Israel. But the answer was too obvious to acknowledge. These mounds were built by the natives who had once lived there, whom we now call the Mississippians.
Cahokia seems to have been a center for religious observances. At the summit of the massive Monk's Mound, there are remains of a 5,000 square foot structure, possibly a temple. In other mounds there is evidence of human sacrifice. These mounds required astonishing labor to construct: an estimated 55 million cubic feet of earth, all moved by hand — well, and feet — in woven baskets. A two-mile-long wooden stockade surrounded the center of the city, with guard towers every seventy feet. A circle of posts west of Monk's Mound has been dubbed "Woodhenge," because the posts clearly mark solstices and equinoxes. Surrounding the city were rows of residential thatched houses, flanked by fields of corn and other crops. Cahokia's population seems to have peaked around 1200 AD, at perhaps 20,000 souls. If that number seems small, remember, at the time of the American Revolution, none of our cities were any larger.
Monk's Mound is ten stories high.
Cahokia was suddenly abandoned around the year 1400. No one knows why. The Mississippian tribes would revert to the semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers that Europeans encountered centuries later. And we would cultivate our "virgin wilderness" and "noble savage" myths for centuries as well, until the man-made mountains staring at us finally gave away their secrets.
I'm Roger Kaza at the University of Houston, where we're interested in the way inventive minds work.

Q: React/Redux: Can't pass State to components and wrappers are completely inactive I am working in React with Redux and trying to pass my initial state to components using mapStateToProps through a wrapper, however nothing is making it through to the component to use as a prop The console logs of states in the components return undefined and there is no visible console log from the wrappers themselves.
I have placed the store, reducer, action and initial state in the main index.js file in order to see what is going on but I can't work out why nothing is passing through.
Here is a link to a sandbox containing the project:
https://codesandbox.io/s/fast-night-e535o

A: import { connect } from "react-redux";
import PlayerList from "./PlayerList";
const mapStateToProps = ({ state }) => {
  console.log(state);
  console.log(1);

  return;

  state;
};

export default connect(mapStateToProps)(PlayerList);

In this code the line, you are using destructuring assignment
const mapStateToProps = ({ state }) => {

({state}) is looking for an element state in the first param you should remove the {} (there is no element state in your redux state)
Also you do not return anything.
Your code should look like this :
import { connect } from "react-redux";
import PlayerList from "./PlayerList";
const mapStateToProps = ( state) => {
  console.log(state);
  console.log(1);

  return state;
};

export default connect(mapStateToProps)(PlayerList);
