Had she previously had any type of manipulation - like with a chiro, or with the osteopath? Just curious!
ahhhhh....ND suggested a chiro to us about 2 mos. ago for her body awareness issues...we resisted...that's it...I'm making an appt!!!
I was reluctant to go chiro because it was more bone focus than soft tissue like this guy. Check out PAN's latest post- we are headed for cranial sacral facia whatever treatment next. And nope, she received one prior manipulation by the osteopath but it lasted a short amount of time and was not as dramatic of an adjustment-more like massage.

Three Careers, No Illusions/A Voice in the Crowd
by Michael Miner
Three Careers, No Illusions
If you're a free-lance writer who feels aggrieved, the name of Peter Deuel belongs in your Rolodex. Out of "some sense of Protestant guilt," as Deuel puts it, he's on your side. He likes to think you tell the truth, and after a lifetime in journalism, politics, and now the law, he knows the ways the world's arranged against you. Deuel understands aggrievement. There's plenty in his own business. For example, earlier this year the trade monthly Chicago Lawyer announced a short-story contest. Editor Bernie Judge expected six to ten entries; in came 32. This told Judge there might be even more frustrated lawyers out there than he'd supposed.
Deuel can explain the type and up to a point he fits the profile--he's 58, isn't getting rich, and won't be joining the Supreme Court in this lifetime. "The malaise among lawyers in midlife is caused by the fact many of them don't feel proud of what they're doing," he told us. "I think in part they're embarrassed about some of the excesses of their business. They're embarrassed about having to compromise their principles on behalf of their clients. There are terrible pressures on lawyers from clients, ranging from asking you to commit felonies to trying to live up to the tenets of your profession when your client's an obvious liar.
"Lawyers who work for big firms hate the anonymity. They hate the time pressure, the billing time. At the big firms they're asking you to bill 2,200 hours a year. That's 50 45-hour weeks. That's billable hours! What do you do about the hours you work that aren't billable? Well, you have to work those for nothing."
And if you're a lawyer you have to live with everyone despising you. Deuel edified us with a joke. "How can you tell if it's a lawyer or a skunk who's dead road kill in the middle of the road? The answer is, if it's a skunk there'd be skid marks."
Yet the misery of the bar rolls off Deuel's back. He doesn't work for a big firm; he works for himself. And he knew what he was getting into. He didn't go to law school until he was 50 and didn't start practicing until he was 53.
Deuel went through the process of losing his illusions long before he found the law. The son of a former Chicago Daily News foreign correspondent, he grew up never imagining he'd be anything but a newspaperman. From 1957 to '64 he was a reporter for the Sun-Times. And after two years as information director of Chicago's antipoverty program, Deuel joined the Chicago Daily News--"they were thinking if you hired people with experience it might help save the paper." He stayed two years.
Deuel was already beginning to have his doubts about the business. "The Daily News, like most afternoon papers, was more a victim of television than the mornings. The mornings had more years to adjust their roles. The Daily News tried to go to interpretive reporting without telling people first what the facts were. And the results were that people could look at it and say, 'Well, that's very interesting, your interpretation of this story, but I never saw the story in your paper.'"
A reader could sit down in his easy chair after work and choose between an evening paper written that morning that speculated on what would happen during the day, and a TV newscast that reported what did. Some choice. "The reader began to distrust us as a purveyer of news," Deuel said.
It's a story that's been told by almost every newspaperman whose roots go back to the days when either the papers told you or you didn't know. "TV came along and took away from newspapers the function of reporting facts," Deuel lamented. "Newspapers became presenters of opinion, and the fact part of the paper became increasingly smaller. The packaging became almost as important as the product. They were now selling something other than a newspaper. They were selling entertainment. I likened it to watching your favorite aunt turn into a hooker. So I left the business without any regret at all, and I haven't regretted it since."
For 21 years, serving two notables who made their mark in Chicago history, Deuel was associate clerk of the Cook County Circuit Court. His friend Matthew Danaher gave him the job in 1968. ("My feeling was if he played his cards right Danaher could be the next mayor.") Six years later Danaher was found dead in a hotel suite, which spared him an impending trial on federal charges of tax evasion and conspiracy to defraud. Deuel says he died of drink.
In 1989 Danaher's successor, Morgan Finley, went to prison. He'd been brought down by Operation Incubator, a federal probe of a bribery scheme that involved a New York bill-collection firm angling for Chicago city business.
"For several of those years I ran the office day by day," Deuel told us. "I was the chief labor negotiator and troubleshooter. I handled all the stuff that required your ability to dance. And the office never suffered a single bad rap. That's because the office ran straight. It wasn't the office that caved in--it was human frailty."
The only contact his office had with most lawyers, he said, was when "they were doing something funny," such as slipping a court clerk a couple of dollars to get their cases called first. "Finally I said, considering the lawyers that came to me, I said, 'My God! If these idiots can be a lawyer surely you can be a lawyer.'"
But even though he strayed, Deuel neither left journalism entirely nor has journalism left him. "You come into a situation where you don't know any of the facts," he reflected. "You may know some of the consequences because you see them, but you have to gather the facts on the spot and immediately convert them into intelligent questions." Deuel was describing a reporter reporting of course, but also the critical nub of a cross-examination. "Reporting teaches you to be anticipatory," he went on. "You can look at an event as it's unfolding and you can ask questions about what's going to happen next because you learn how things work. The other guy's witness says something and something in your brain goes 'click.' So when you get a chance to cross-examine you nail the guy.
"I love to cross-examine. You can question with a bite, and you can question benignly, and sometimes you have to do both in the same question. I remember, there was a girl whose boyfriend stabbed her to death in Villa Park. Sandy Smith [another reporter] and I showed up at the press conference where the police chief announced the arrest of the perpetrator. The counselor from the high school they went to was also present. Sandy Smith says to the counselor, 'You didn't know he was a Jekyll and Hyde, did you?' It was one of the best beat-your-wife questions I ever heard. Sandy had a story no matter which way he answered."
We are not certain whether Deuel misses an era of journalistic probity or simply his youth. At any rate, he teaches investigative reporting at Loyola University and for 22 years has published one of America's most arcane magazines, Broadcast Cable Financial Journal. Because he lost his group health insurance when he left county government and was quoted a price of $1,200 a month to convert to a single membership, and because the National Writers Union now belongs to the United Auto Workers, Deuel joined the NWU for the medical coverage.
"I felt I owed them something," Deuel told us. So he joined the Chicago unit's grievance committee, which just made him its chair. This means that when free-lance writers feel jerked around Deuel steps in. "Free-lance writers are victimized just routinely by the people for whom they do their work," he observed. "Because I'm a lawyer I'm able to negotiate from a position of a little more strength."
He told us, "Free-lance writers are wonderfully creative people who are just dedicated to the fact they've got to write. It's something in their systems. It's a heartbreaking mistress. But as an abstract principle, telling the truth about something is so much fun you keep coming back for more."
A Voice in the Crowd
Even though winning a championship leaves fans feeling completely empty, the road to victory is as involving as any crusade. This makes the role of the chronicler central to the total experience, and Chicago, fortunately, is a city of silver-tongued troubadours. We've worked up a quiz. Match the vivid language, culled from recent newspaper columns, with the columnists who composed it:
(1) "The Knicks, set to music, sound appropriately like a chainsaw in a bathtub." "Horace Grant is so much damp laundry to Charles Oakley." "You can take the mugger out of New York, but you can't take New York out of the mugger." "Starks was ready to pose for Jordan's place on the Wheaties box. I suppose you can use the same picture on a bag of Kibbles 'n Bits."
(2) "Who's buried in Grant's tomb?" "The stripes weren't as influential as the stars, and Michael was one." "Too many of the other Bulls weren't home to answer the call on the road." "They posted a score of 83 Saturday afternoon. That's not bad for Medinah No. 3 . . ."
(3) "Everyone knows if Jordan's off the Bulls are road pizza." "Someone will see B.J. Armstrong's picture on a milk carton and return him." "Jillson and Omarr have had the zodiac mojo working in this series." "Your serve, New York. Your city, your arena, your floor, your fans, maybe even your referees."
(4) "They are spooked. You detect it in their interaction." "Champs should behave like champs, not like desperate souls looking for edges." "Waiting for his famous, tormented son to finish practice, James Jordan draws a long nicotine drag and ponders the day ahead." "For a team that can't give itself relief in this psychotic sort of series, now there is the problem of keeping everyone happy-happy."
The columnists are Bob Verdi, Jay Mariotti, Bernie Lincicome, and Steve Rosenbloom--match 'em up. And here's the essay question: Whose one-liners don't sound like everybody else's, and is it a good thing or bad that there's only one of him?

Traveling The World In A Wheelchair
by broderickfatnown | Jun 5, 2022 | Blog | 0 comments
Cory Lee in Antarctica.
Cory Lee
Cory Lee is likely one of the most intrepid vacationers that I've had the pleasure to fulfill. His journeys to locations like India, Morocco and Antarctica are simply the beginning. Prior to now eight years, he has visited 39 international locations and all seven continents. What makes this much more outstanding is that every one of his travels had been accomplished in a powered wheelchair.
Recognized at age two with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (sort 2), he acquired his first powered wheelchair at age 4 and went to Walt Disney World on his first journey. Now he paperwork his travels on his web site CurbFree with Cory Lee: Sharing the World from a Wheelchair User's Perspective. That is rather more than a journey weblog. Vacation spot by vacation spot, he particulars his days in a given vacation spot, noting how accessible a vacation spot is and the challenges confronted by touring in a wheelchair. Current protection contains wheelchair journey guides to locations as various as Sarasota, Lake Tahoe and the Adirondacks. To not point out Santiago, Chile and Montevideo, Uruguay.
Cory Lee in Iceland.
"I started my web site in 2013 once I was researching a visit to Australia and looking for incapacity data," Lee mentioned. "It was exhausting to search out which locations had been accessible. There was an absence of accessible journey data to locations around the globe. So I made a decision to develop into a useful resource and share that data."
So which international locations or cities are doing an excellent job?
"I believe numerous locations are," he says. "Scandinavia is likely one of the most accessible locations. In Helsinki alone, there are 300 wheelchair-accessible taxis. As a rule, the USA additionally does an excellent job. We're fortunate to have the Individuals with Disabilities Act (ADA). However, if a rustic doesn't have an ADA designation, that doesn't imply it's utterly inaccessible. Spain is doing an outstanding job and in Barcelona, the seashores are essentially the most accessible on the planet. They even have workers available to switch you out of your wheelchair to a seashore wheelchair. I've by no means seen that wherever else around the globe."
That mentioned, many locations stay difficult. On a go to to New York Metropolis in 2005, he discovered solely 15 accessible taxis, which required 48-hour advance discover. He provides that the town has improved loads up to now 5 years and has develop into one of many best cities to get round in.
"My hardest journey was to Paris in 2011," he remembers. "Again then, there was a extreme lack of accessible transportation. There was just one van to name and it value 800 Euros per day. I hear it has gotten higher and I might like to revisit."
Cory Lee in Costa Rica.
General, Lee says that the world is changing into extra accessible. 4 years in the past "I went to India. I had at all times wished to go to and I discovered a tour firm that focuses on accessible journey. They used an tailored van they usually scouted accessible lodges and points of interest. I had an outstanding expertise.
One fixed, says Lee, is that the toughest a part of journey for wheelchair customers is flying, particularly on lengthy flights.
"They should roll you onto the airplane and switch you to an aisle chair. I can't self-transfer and generally the crew is educated, generally not, and there could be language boundaries. Utilizing the lavatory could be a difficulty and I'm at all times frightened about whether or not my checked wheelchair will probably be broken through the flight as a result of it continuously has been broken. However I wouldn't commerce journey for something."
Lee is in demand as a convention speaker and clocked greater than 100 nights on the street in 2021. His favourite journey?
Cory Lee in Morocco.
"Morocco in 2018," he says. "I had such a outstanding expertise. I went to Fez, Marrakech and into the Sahara. The corporate I labored with, Morocco Accessible Journey Consultants, had an adaptive camel seat with a full backrest. It allowed me to have one in every of my most memorable experiences ever, driving a camel over the dunes."
Lee has additionally simply launched the CurbFree Basis, a non-profit that gives journey grants to wheelchair customers.
"I obtain messages virtually day by day by people who find themselves impressed to journey due to my web site," he says. "It jogs my memory of why I'm doing this."

Q: Adding several columns at the same time with multiindex I have a dataframe with a variable number of columns and with are handled inside MultiIndex for the columns. I'm trying to add several columns into the same MultiIndex structure
I've tried to add the new columns like if I would if there was only one column but it doesn't work
I have tried this:
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(4,2), columns=pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples([('plus_zero', 'A'), ('plus_zero', 'B')]))

df['plus_one'] = df['plus_zero'] + 1

But I get ValueError: Wrong number of items passed 2, placement implies 1.
The original df should look like this:
  plus_zero
          A         B
0  0.602891  0.701130
1  0.395749  0.960206
2  0.268238  0.140606
3  0.165802  0.971707

And the result I want:
  plus_zero            plus_one
          A         B         A         B

NBA teams don't go 82-0.
The Bucks lost their season series to the lowly Suns. The Raptors were swept by the Pistons. The Celtics have lost both of their matchups to the Magic this season.
So when the Sixers fell to 1-2 against the young Hawks this season after a 129-127 loss Saturday night (see observations), it was disappointing, but not completely surprising.
These types of games happen. The Sixers had finally beaten their boogeyman Boston, their sixth straight win. They were 7-1 with their new-look starting lineup intact. They couldn't afford to rest on that and overlook a hungry Atlanta team.
I think it's the fact that we think we're a really good team so we can just come in and do whatever we're going to do and still going to win," Jimmy Butler said. "I don't think we can fall into that trap. I'm telling you, I think that's what it was. Thinking, 'Yo, we won [six] in a row.' That's from everybody. From top to bottom. I don't think you can play like that in order to go where we want to go.
Give credit where it's due, former Sixers assistant Lloyd Pierce has his Hawks buying in and playing much better basketball recently.
With their win Saturday, they're now 7-8 since the All-Star Game. That may not sound like much, but when you consider they were just 18-40 before the break, it's a stark improvement.
Rookie Trae Young abused the Sixers all night. He exploited their weak pick-and-roll defense in route to 32 points — including the game-winning floater with .01 seconds left — and 11 assists.
Though Young was a handful, the Sixers didn't offer much resistance. After going on a 15-3 run to close out the third to tie the game and eventually take the lead in the fourth, they were also sloppy down the stretch.
And before the #FireBrett crowd comes charging with its pitchforks, Brown did try to make adjustments. It wasn't a matter of game plan. It was execution.
These types of games are going to happen during an 82-game season. With just nine games left in the regular season, the Sixers have one of the easier remaining schedules in the league.
But as the Hawks proved Saturday, any team can beat you on a given night. For the Sixers, it's just a matter of learning whatever you can from a disappointing loss and getting ready to take on Orlando in a couple days.
This game surely will not define their season or the potential of their new starting five.
"We'll be alright," Butler said. "We got nine more left. We good, man. Forget about it. We got another one coming on the road [Monday].
Yeah, the Sixers are going to be fine.
While Elton Brand will be watching at Wells Fargo Center Tuesday night as the Sixers look to advance to the second round, Marks will have to watch elsewhere as his team tries to bring the series back to Brooklyn.

THE INFLUENCE OF ELECTRONIC MEDIA ON CURBING THE MENACE OF EXAMINATION MALPRACTICE AMONG YOUTHS IN NIGERIA
Examination is the process of assessing understanding, knowledge and academic ability of an individual within a given period. Examinations are arranged to evaluate the academic achievement of students and to know whether they have achieved a standard of academic learning and knowledge (Suleman, Gul, Ambrin & Kamran (2015). Nnam and Inah (2015) opined that examination is a yardstick against which students or candidates' competence and progress are formally measured and appraised in the education sector. According to Kpangban, Ajaja and Umedhe (2008), examination is an assessment intended to measure knowledge, skills, attitude, physical fitness or classification in many other topics such as beliefs. Omemu (2015) noted that teaching and learning become more effective when the students are subjected to an examination process to determine the extent to which the students have assimilated the content of the instruction given and the teacher can also access himself from the performance of the students. The outcome of examinations goes a long way to determine whether the objectives of the academic process are being met or not. Irrespective of the huge relevance of examination in academic process, a lot of factors have bedevilled its reliability; one of such factors is examination malpractice.
No doubt, examination malpractice is an illegal behaviour by a candidate before, during or after the examination in other to achieve undue success easily. Adedojun (2003) defined examination malpractice to include misconduct or any other act not in consonance with the rules and regulations guiding the examination with a view to obtaining good result by fraudulent means. Wilayat (2009) noted that examination malpractice is any illegal act committed by a student singlehandedly or in collaboration with others; like fellow students, parents, teachers, supervisors, invigilators, printers and anybody or group of people before, during or after examination in order to obtain underserved marks or grades. Nwana (2000) defined examination malpractice as behaviour contrary to a set of expected code of conduct or contrary to a set of ethics and norms exhibited in the cause of examination by person or group of persons. Examination malpractice has become a cankerworm that has eaten deep into the academic fabrics of students in Nigerian schools. This has created doubts on academic certificates issued to graduates from Nigerian schools.
Examination malpractice comes in different forms which includes, coping, sorting, bringing foreign materials into examination halls, impersonation, exchange of scripts, use of electronic devices such as phones, calculators collusion with invigilators, and exam officers smuggling scripts written outside into exam halls. Innovative approaches in education has also given rise to innovations in examination malpractice as students can now send questions and answers to their colleagues in any part of the country through electronic means which negates the conduct of examination.
Uwandiae (1997), Bolarine (2002), Anwanbor (2011) and JAMB (2003) in Akanni and Odofin (2015) opined that the great emphasis on certificate as a means of employment or progress from one point to the other makes students more desperate to acquire certificates by all means thus culminating in examination malpractices. Aina (1991) and Aliyu (1991) in Zakka (2014) noted that the desire to pass at all cost is responsible for examination malpractices. School management and parents tend to push on wards to get their certificates and good grades by all means in order to secure employment or admission into the best higher institution. Ukpabi (2015) indicated that the major causes of examination malpractices include, laziness of students, large population of students in many schools, desperation among students to pass exams, wide and difficult syllabus in many subjects, inadequate preparation for exams, corrupt invigilators and supervisors. The adverse effect of examination malpractice in the standard of education in Nigeria cannot be overstretched. Students no longer take their studies serious, creativity and resourcefulness among the students is thrown to air. Teachers are not respected anymore, employees are not competent on jobs they are employed for as a result of their certificate.
This worrisome trend has warranted examination bodies (JAMB) to source for remedies to examination malpractice in public examination, because it could lead to a total collapse in the education system if allowed to continuously prevail. One of such methods adopted to checkmate examination malpractice in public examinations such as the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is the Computer Based Test (CBT) mode of examination. Computer Based Testing (CBT) mode has emerged as one of the recent innovative approaches to assessments by examination bodies against the Pencil and Paper Testing (PPT) mode. Computer-based test (CBT) is the taking of a test on computer instead of using Paper and Pencil. Computer-based test can also be defined as test or assessments that are administered by computer in either stand-alone or networked configuration or by other technology devices linked to the internet or the World Wide Web (Olsen 2000).
The rampant occurrence of examination malpractices in the country has been a major challenge to educationists (Aghenta, 2000; Ige, 2002). In spite of the efforts of National Policy on Education (FGN, 2004) placing high premium on examinations, it seems that the issue of examination malpractices have not been properly addressed throughout Nigeria. It has been recently observed that there is mass cheating in public examinations throughout the whole federation. Little efforts have been made to reduce the problem. This brings about the issue of introduction of information and communication technology (ICT) to curb prevalent examination malpractices among candidates sitting for examinations.
Ojirinde (2015) noted that the introduction of computer based test (CBT) has led to reduction in exam malpractice in the country. It was noted that the introduction of the CBT was for the development of the Nigerian child and the betterment of all Nigerians desirous of improvement in the educational standard. Ojirinde (2015) further expressed that with CBT our schools will be forced to follow our school curriculum as it affects Information Technology and above all, the Board opted for CBT so as to ensure global best practice in the conduct of examination. It is on this foundation that this research seeks to examine the influence of electronic media on curbing the menace of examination malpractice among youths in Nigeria.
The general objective or main objective of this study is to examine the influence of electronic media on curbing the menace of examination malpractice among youths in Nigeria. The specific objectives are:
i) To understand the menace of examination malpractices in Nigeria.
ii) To investigate the causes of examination malpractices in Nigeria.
iii) To study the ways through which examination malpractices can be prevented in Nigeria through the use of electronic media.
i) What is the menace of examination malpractices in Nigeria?
ii) What are the causes of examination malpractices in Nigeria?
iii) What are the ways through which examination malpractices can be prevented in Nigeria through the use of electronic media?
The following will be the research hypotheses to be tested for this study:
i) There is no significant relationship between electronic media and reduction in examination malpractice among youths in Nigeria.
ii) There is no significant difference between the mean responses of male and female youths on the reduction of examination malpractice through electronic media.
The study would no doubt play a vital role in making the policy makers and legislators to acknowledge the risk and threat exhibited by students involved in examination malpractices and the perpetrators some time indiscipline parents, corrupt teachers and peer groups as alleges by culprits or invigilators. This will enable legislators not only revisiting the existing disciplinary measures but to insist that culprits are punished without fear or favour. To student the research may bring about positive changes in their attitude to studies and examination, so that we have examination malpractices free society. It would also serve as an important source of related literatures for future researches which this work did not adequately covered.
Finally, the implementation of recommendation made in this study would also bring about positive changes in the curriculum review of minimum standard carried out after 4 years. This is because some students attribute their involvement in examination malpractices to the difficulty or inadequacy of the curriculum while the colleges and administrators would find this research useful in understanding the complexity of examination, organizational behaviour management and more importantly risk management. For the knowledge of these management issues are important to administrators and invigilators, since most students caught cheating either retaliate or attack the supervisor/invigilators. In a nut shell, this study will be of great significance to curriculum developers, legislators, invigilators, educational administrators, parents, preachers, students and prospective school managers. In conclusion the study of this nature would no doubt add to the existing body of knowledge.
The study will be conducted to examine the influence of electronic media on curbing the menace of examination malpractice among youths in Nigeria. Thus, the study will use selected secondary in Nigeria as a case study.
In the cause of this study, the researcher encountered the following challenges:
Time factor: it was anticipated that the time for the study may not be enough to carry out intensive and extensive study since some of the information is not easily and quickly available. Therefore, the researcher used extra time; weekends so as to be able to collect, analyze and interpreted the collected data.
Lack of enough funds: the funds provided was not enough to meet all expenses during the study like transport cost, meal allowance, photocopies and stationeries expenses. Hence the researcher conducted the study in accordance with the fund provided by the sponsor and the researcher own fund.

FIRE > Newsdesk > blog > At Johns Hopkins, A Future President Bloomberg?
At Johns Hopkins, A Future President Bloomberg?
by Will Creeley
The New York Sun published an intriguing snippet of speculation yesterday regarding possible career options for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg following the end of his second term on January 1, 2010. According to the Sun, a movement is afoot at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) to encourage the school's presidential search committee to include Bloomberg, a JHU alumnus, in their search for a replacement for departing President Dr. William Brody.
Sun Staff Reporter Grace Rauh writes:
In the last week and a half, a letter has been quietly circulating among professors at Mr. Bloomberg's alma mater, Johns Hopkins University, urging the school's presidential search committee to consider the mayor for the top position. Nearly 40 professors have signed the letter, a professor emeritus of political science who drafted the letter, Matthew Crenson, said.
Mr. Crenson, who was a fraternity brother of Mr. Bloomberg's, said the mayor would be a strong candidate because he knows the university well, was chairman of the board of trustees, and led a major capital campaign.
"We also understand he may be free soon," Mr. Crenson said in an interview with The New York Sun. "I think many of us realize this is exactly what we need right now, someone who has good management skills and thinks creatively," he added.
On the one hand, Bloomberg almost couldn't help but be an improvement. FIRE supporters will remember that Brody's tenure at JHU has been regrettable. Under Brody, JHU found itself on the wrong side of several free speech controversies on campus, suspending junior Justin Park for posting an "offensive" Halloween party invitation on Facebook.com and instituting a shockingly broad "civility code" prohibiting "rude and disrespectful behavior." Indeed, Brody was directly responsible for the civility code, explaining in the school's paper that "tasteless" speech will not be allowed. Brody's finely-honed and deliberate disrespect for free expression at JHU earned his school the ignominious distinction of being FIRE's inaugural Censor of the Year in 2006, as well as securing JHU's spot on FIRE's Red Alert list.
So if a President Bloomberg proved to be even slightly more cognizant of the essentiality of free expression on a college campus, he could quickly reverse the damage done by Brody to JHU's reputation as one of our nation's premier institutions of higher learning.
On the other hand, Bloomberg's track record when it comes to free speech on campus is unfortunately somewhat less than stellar. Last May, Bloomberg delivered the commencement address at Tufts University, another school on FIRE's Red Alert list. No problem there—except that Bloomberg's speech incorrectly summarized the case of conservative student newspaper The Primary Source, which had been found guilty of harassment by Tufts just a few months earlier for publishing politically unpopular satire. But Bloomberg's speech made no mention of this finding, and the Mayor chose instead to gloss over the incident:
This past December, The Primary Source –which is a campus magazine– printed some things that much of the community ardently disagreed with and many considered quite offensive. But instead of suppressing the publication (which might very well have happened on other campuses) and despite the emotion of the moment, I think the students and the faculty and all of Tufts University deserve an enormous amount of respect because you respected the rights of others to express themselves. You discussed the piece… you debated it… you picked it apart. It was a classic example of free speech versus free speech. And in that battle, I've always thought everybody wins.
Bloomberg's sanitization of The Primary Source's punishment did a disservice to his audience by offering Tufts administrators praise they had not earned. Despite being notified of his error in an open letter by Greg published in The Huffington Post, the Mayor stayed mum on the issue after the speech, refusing to admit error. Tufts shamefully covered up Bloomberg's mistake in the weeks that followed, and the guilty verdict against The Primary Source stands to this day. While it's conceivable (and perhaps even likely) that Bloomberg was simply misinformed about the particulars of the incident by Tufts President Lawrence Bacow prior to the commencement ceremonies, it's disappointing that Bloomberg didn't use his bully pulpit to rectify the mistake once notified of it.
So while some at JHU may be optimistic about the prospect of a President Bloomberg, those who value free expression on campus should be decidedly less so.

Tackling Global Warming Is Important But Nuclear Disarmament Deserves Priority – OpEd
October 9, 2019 October 9, 2019 IDN 0 Comments
By IDN
By Jonathan Power
There's a lot of end-of-the-world hyperbole around on climate change. So there should be. But it blankets out other important causes that are even more imminently important – wiping out malaria and sleeping sickness and introducing pure water supplies, sewerage systems and education for girls – all of which would save many more people than those likely to be hurt by global warning, at least this side of twenty-five years. Global warming, although very much apparent, is happening relatively slowly. Indeed, I feel like coining a slogan: "Kill mosquitoes today, save the icebergs tomorrow".
In fact the world has the resources to do both – a small portion of the money spent on arms would do it. So too would diverting the money spent on cat food, cosmetics, red meat and gas-guzzling SUVs (In the U.S. they make up 60% of car sales.)
Fading ever more into the background as a popular issue is the possession of nuclear weapons. Once upon a time there were regular marches down the streets all over the industrialised world. In the U.S. the nuclear freeze movement of the 1980s was an important factor in pushing President Ronald Regan to reach out to Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev with a proposal to abolish all nuclear weapons. It didn't happen but there was significant progress on nuclear arms reduction.
In return for getting the U.S. Senate to approve a treaty with Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev to cut long-range nuclear missiles by a thousand each, President Barack Obama had to concede that the U.S. would spend a trillion dollars more on modernizing its nuclear arsenal. Trump has built on this, accelerating planned programs and seems uninterested in renewing the Medvedev-Obama treaty
Nuclear disarmament is rarely on the front pages anymore – except when America decides to scrap one or another of the treaties meant to reduce stockpiles. Yet blowing up a sizeable part of civilization could happen in minutes. Icebergs don't melt this fast and mosquitoes could barely get in a few good bites.
We know there have been near accidental launches of nuclear weapons. We know too that an unstable character like President Donald Trump with a finger on the button could attempt to initiate a launch in the flick of a finger, having consulted nobody.
Some of America's most significant past and present thinkers on nuclear issues have warned that we are entering dangerous times – George Kennan, Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft, Jimmy Carter and Zbigniew Brzezinski. They've all called for unilateral disarmament initiatives. Only last month (September) the influential former chairman of the Senate's Armed Services Committee, Sam Nunn, wrote in Foreign Affairs that we are arguably in a situation more dangerous than existed during the Cold War. Alas, in Europe there seem to be no heavyweight voices rising above the parapet.
Old-time military concepts like "launch on warning" or "use them or lose them" are still in vogue. An American or Russian president would only get 6 minutes to make a decision after warning of a possible attack. What does the president do if he is told that the incoming Russian missiles are targeted only on Washington DC but not elsewhere in the U.S., and that if there is an American retaliatory launch then the rest of America's big cities would likely be flattened.
Would he decide to launch American missiles to destroy as a quid pro quo the best part of Russian life, one of Europe's great civilizations, containing much learning, tremendous scientific knowledge, the world's second greatest art collection, a tradition of producing some of its greatest novelists, artists and ballet companies, and a serious claim to be the "Third Rome", that is the successor to the authentic Christian church, seated in Constantinople after Emperor Constantine moved its headquarters from Rome?
Which person should be put on the spot in this way? No human being on earth should be asked to make such a momentous decision in such a short time. Probably all, except a madman or Hitler or Mao-type figure, would crack under the psychological pressure of making a decision in which no second thoughts are possible. Even Trump is far away from being such a personality type- for starters he has forged a close-knit, loving, family (unlike Stalin, Hitler or Mao) and would not want to see it turned to ashes.
After stepping down as president of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev was asked what he would have done if he had been told that an American missile attack was on the way. He answered that he would not have believed it and assumed it was mistaken intelligence, as he knew the Americans were reasonable and sane people. He wouldn't have ordered retaliatory action.
So what is the point of having them? A question for today, not tomorrow. This should be our first order of business. Then mosquitoes and finally global warming. Better still, deal with them altogether. Yes, we can!

Wake Up! The Ballet Studio and Fine Arts Network Present Sleeping Beauty
What: Sleeping Beauty
When: July 18 & 19, 2015
Where: Temescal Canyon High School Theater
When: July 18, 2015, 7:30pm
We all know the story of Sleeping Beauty. A beautiful hidden princess falls victim to an evil curse, causing her to sleep for a hundred years and only true love's kiss can awaken her. But what happens after the handsome prince saves her from her slumber? Why, there's a wedding, of course and the Fine Arts Network, in association with the Ballet Studio, are bringing that magical ceremony to life on stage.
On July 18th and 19th, the Ballet Studio will present a two-act exhibition with selections from some of the best works in dance, as well as new and unique material.
"The first act of the show is made up of divertissements from different ballets," Mark Erickson, Director of the Ballet Studio said. "We will be doing solos from Swan Lake, La Esmeralda, Paquita, La Byadere, along with a few contemporary pieces which I have staged."
The second act of the weekend's performance will be the third act of Sleeping Beauty; a ballet originally performed in 1890 to the music of Tchaikovsky. The Ballet Studio has chosen to perform the third act specifically, which depicts the wedding of Aurora and her prince.
The lead dancers for Sleeping Beauty will be Tiffany Koepke and Joe Hochschild from the San Diego Ballet Company. Koepke, a Milwaukee native, has performed for the Milwaukee Ballet Company and the California Ballet as well as the San Diego Ballet and has danced the lead roles in pieces including Swan Lake, The Nutcracker and Snow White, among others. She is currently a resident of Temecula, allowing her to easily participate in most of the Ballet Studio's productions.
Hochschild began his career with the Marin Dance Theatre and continued with the Rock School of Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, and San Francisco Ballet before his three seasons with the San Diego Ballet. He has performed in Giselle, Romeo & Juliet, Firebird, and several others.
Due to the fact that the Ballet Studio's performance includes selections from several classics, the program is ideal for those who are unfamiliar with the genre of dance and are looking to explore it further.
"Because of the diversified show it would be the perfect intro for someone that has not been exposed to the ballet world," Erickson said. "It is the perfect family outing because there is something for everyone."
Tickets for the Ballet Studio's Sleeping Beauty are $25 per person, general admission, with no assigned seating. To purchase, visit the Old Town Temecula Theater website. Please note that, due to the Old Town Temecula Theater's extension renovations, this performance will be held at Temescal Canyon High School Theater.
So, go see the Ballet Studio's Sleeping Beauty and your family is sure to live happily ever after.

SYDNEY, 27 August 2015 – It was standing room only at the recent FUJIFILM 4K Day held at the Digital Motion Picture Centre (DMPC) earlier this month, with attendees eager to discover what makes a 4K lens truly 4K. The crowd - a cross section of DPs, engineers, company executives, TV and film rental house personnel – got to see the much buzzed about 4K PL-mount Cine-Style and Ultra HD lenses for 2/3-inch broadcast cameras operating side by side and participate in a Q&A following detailed presentations by FUJIFILM executives about the nature of 4K optics.
Ten 4K FUJINON zoom lenses were on display throughout the day, a mixture of 25-300mm Cabrio (ZK-12-25) PL mount cine lenses, UA80x9 4K Ultra HD field lenses for 2/3-inch broadcast cameras, and UA22x8 4K Ultra HD portable zoom lenses for 2/3-inch broadcast cameras. The 25-300mm Cabrio was shown in both Cine and Broadcast style on a Sony F55 broadcast studio camera. The UA80x9 and UA22x8 lenses were shown on Sony HDC-4300 4K broadcast studio cameras.
FUJIFILM has three design goals each 4K lens must meet: high 4K resolution, high dynamic range (HDR), and high contrast - each equally important: "We also firmly believe a 4K lens is not just 4K in the centre but extends to the outer edge of the image," said Tubbs.
Presentations were held that addressed the electronic and mechanical designs, specialised HT-EBC (High Transmittance Electron Beam) coatings used to achieve true 4K optical quality. Tubbs pointed to the company's adoption of a new mechanical design, originally developed for the Cine-Style lenses, to move the focus and zoom glass.
With 16-bit encoders in the zoom and focus controllers as well as in the lens itself, the interaction between the controllers and the lens provides a greater level of precision than was possible previously. As the electronic movement becomes more precise, so does the creation of the lens.
Additionally, FUJIFILM's IS-mini Rack 4K image processing system used for on-set camera preview and monitor calibration adjustment for film shoots was shown on a Sony F55 4K CineAlta camera at the open house. Product specialists were on hand to discuss the company's approach for accurate ACES colour management workflows, from on-set grading to final delivery.

From Prisoners To Programmers — San Quentin Inmates Are Learning How To Code
Filed Under:Beverly Parenti, California Prison Authority, Chris Redlitz, Code 7370, Coding, Con, CSS, Ex-Con, Hack Reactor, HTML, Inmate, Java Script, Prison, Programmers, San Quentin, The Last Mile
The Last Mile student-inmates. (San Quentin/The Last Mile)San Quentin student-inmates. (The Last Mile)
SAN RAFAEL (CBS SF) — A very lucky group of inmates at San Quentin are getting a high-tech break. They are learning how to code.
They're getting top-notch instruction in Java Script, HTML and CSS through virtual instruction, essential skills for anyone who wants to succeed in today's job market; extraordinary skills if you are an ex-con.
Eighteen men made the cut. No prior experience with computers was necessary. Students were selected based on their ability and motivation to learn the material.
Christopher Schuhmacher is one of them. On Quora, a Q and A website used by San Quentin inmates, he described it as a chance for him to "regain the technological relevance" that has been passing him by while in prison.
Familiarly called Code 7370, the course was launched this fall by the California Prison Authority and the programming bootcamp gurus at Hack Reactor. If the inmates' experience is anything like the 12-week course they offer kids on the street, it will include live coding, hack/pair programming and the fundamentals of building web apps. They'll come out thinking like a software engineer.
It's all part of San Quentin's on-site learning project called, The Last Mile. Venture capitalists Chris Redlitz and Beverly Parenti launched it back in 2010 after a visit to speak before the prison's business class. They were inspired by the inmates' desire to learn and discovered that when it comes to computer skills, few programs give inmates knowledge that will lead to real employment on the outside. The pair decided to create the first-ever business incubator to operate behind bars.
Now, inmates in the Last Mile's Technology Entrepreneur Prison Program are learning essentials like technology, social media, business planning and computer proficiency. Each six-month course culminates in a Demo Day, when they have to present their business ideas and product pitches to fellow prisoners and outside investors. The roster of their mentors on the outside reads like a Silicon-Valley who's who list — Google's Jon Silber, Rocketspace Founder Duncan Logan and Erik Moore of Base Ventures, just to name a few.
Of course, the real test is what happens to the inmates once they are on the outside. For some, who are serving long sentences, a high-tech career remains an elusive dream. For others, like, Schuhmacher, it's a game-changer.
"I'm humbled and inspired to think that by learning this skill, I'll have the opportunity to transcend the stigma of being in prison. I still don't know exactly what the future holds, but I'm moving forward feeling incredibly lucky," he wrote.
In another Quora post, a former inmate, who chose to remain anonymous, offered the inmates encouragement.
"Twenty-three years ago, I was released… now I live a normal life… a good honest living in IT. With a plan you can turn it around. Last I heard there is a 85% recidivism rate for ex-cons. Someone has to be the 15%, right? Why not you guys?"

If you are friends with me on Facebook Or Instagram then you know that I've travelled more than normal this summer. We recently went on a cruise that was planned rather last minute.
Scott and Ali planned it and I honestly knew none of the details. Which was kind of cool!
Since we planned the trip so late, Scott told us that he couldn't get 4 seats next to each other on the plane, so he had to buy 1 first class ticket and 3 coach. We played board games every week and kept score to see which one of us would 'win' the first class seat. Ali won!
as we were boarding the plane, Scott handed each of us our ticket. He used miles from work travel to book all of us in first class! Wow. It was amazing!
I could totally get used to this!
The next morning, Scott and Ryan toured an old fort while Ali and I hung out at the hotel. We boarded the ship around noon.
Our home for the next week.
As we headed to our stateroom, this was the chosen featured artwork in our halI was convinced that this guy was going to come alive at night. I checked each and every time we walked by him. Trust me, he didn't move. By the end of the trip we were buds. He was my homeboy. We were tight. Rock on, buddy.. Rock on.
our first port of call was st. Maarten.
we participated in an America's cup race.
Everyone on our tour was divided up into 2 groups with 3 crew members on each boat. We were each given a specific job to do and the crew members directly us. Ali was our captain! I was primary winch. I've never been on a sailboat before. It was hard work!
We ended with rum punch!
The next day we wen to st. Kitts. I chose our excursion here. Stand up paddleboarding! I've been dying to try this! Ali and stood on one last summer at the river fest downtown, but this was my first time doing it for real. I'm hooked! It was so much fun! I fell a few times, but that's ok. It was really windy in the cove and therefore it was wavy and challenging.
could this be more beautiful?
Our guide was from Denver! Small world.
After paddleboarding the rest of the fam went snorkeling.
When they were done snorkeling there was more rum punch!
We we had some Boston folks on our boat, so it was cool to tall Boston stuff.
And ended with rum punch!
We didn't take pic of the boat, but I found one of the boat we were on that World Wide Web thing.
we headed back to the ship listening to reggae and yet again, more rum punch!
in barbados we just walked off the ship and did a tiny bit of shopping.
it is SO much fun hanging out with your adult children!
howdy! For awhile now I've wanted to make a design wall. This is a space dedicated on a wall in my craft room where I can put the pieces of my quilts as I'm piecing so that I can start to seem quilt come together.
I've done a bunch of research and finally made one this week. For under 15 bucks!
Little clothes pins! And oh so easy to attach!
The backside of a flannel table cloth is the perfect surface for a wall like this. The flannel is just fuzzy enough so that you fabric pieces will stick to it without any pins!
I set out to find a flannel backed tablecloth this week. I couldn't find one anywhere!
Fun print, eh? I might have to go buy more for another project!
And voila! It was perfect!


Our shelter relies on volunteers for the daily care and feeding of the cats and dogs that count on us, and for staffing our fundraising efforts. We're always looking for more dedicated, caring people to help out. No matter how much time you have, there is an opportunity!
We ask that Animal Care volunteers commit to one shift on one day a week, whichever one works best for you.
Volunteering at Eva Burrell Animal Shelter will be one of the most rewarding things you will ever do!


>There is an ayat from the quran that I would like to understand better.

surely Allah is aware of what you do.
