Climate Survey 2019
Stetson University College of Law
1. Does your law school intentionally seek out LGBTQ+ prospective students?
a. If so, how and where are your efforts directed?
Stetson embraces all aspects of diversity. With global citizenship and social justice among our core values, we invest considerable effort recruiting a diverse student body, including students from the LGBTQ+ community. Stetson Law has openly gay and lesbian faculty and staff, and LGBTQ+ students are active leaders in all areas of student life. The Office of Admissions and Student Financial Planning actively identifies and successfully recruits nationally members of the LGBTQ+ community to consider Stetson Law for their legal education.
2. Does your law school's welcome packet for admitted students include mention of identity group support for LGBTQ+ students, as well as for students of color or other minorities?
As part of our admitted student engagement through an admitted student portal, Organizational Leadership from LAMBDA Legal Society (LGBTQ+ student organization), BLSA (Black Law Student Association), HBA (Hispanic Bar Association), AALSA (Asian-American Law Student Association), FAWLS Florida Association of Women Lawyers) and others, all post welcome and organization overviews to admitted students. Student Organization leaders are encouraged and participate in discussion boards with admitted students. In addition, admitted student portals promote diversity organizations and accolades through links and videos highlighting Stetson Law's efforts embracing diversity and inclusion. The updates include events occurring over the summer prior to enrollment, including the St. Petersburg Pride Parade. Students who self-identify in their applications are also matched up and connected with members of the LAMBDA Legal Society and LGBTQ+ members of the faculty.
3. Does your school offer students the option to self-identify as LGBTQ+ in admissions applications or post-enrollment forms?
The Stetson Law school application has a gender question, which is optional, for applicants to either not respond or select "other" or transgender, as well as male or female options.
4. Does your law school offer transgender students who have not legally changed their names the ability to have their name of choice on admission applications or post enrollment forms?
As part of our application for admission, there is an option to have a "preferred first name" consideration for incoming students. For current students, our campus-wide CRM allows students to update their "name of choice" on post-enrollment forms.

16. Does your law school provide a gender-inclusive restroom in any and/or all law school buildings?
a. How is that restroom identified (i.e., what does the signage say, is it identified on building maps, is there a gender-inclusive restroom policy that applies to all restrooms and where is that statement published, etc.)?
Gender-inclusive restrooms are available in several locations on campus. The gender-inclusive restrooms have prominent signage outside each restroom door that clearly notates an "All Gender Restroom – anyone can use this restroom regardless of gender identity or expression."

ClientsCommunityFloridaNewsSt. Pete
Smart, luxury, "responsible" townhomes
By Jesse LandisFebruary 7, 2018No Comments
Downtown St. Petersburg smart-home community nears completion on phase-one and breaks ground on phase-two
Salt Palm Development's first townhome complex – Sabal Smart Homes – is built upon company's mission to develop real estate responsibly and give back
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Downtown St. Pete's first "smart, luxury, responsible" townhomes – Sabal Smart Homes – will open its first multi-unit residential building this March. Construction is underway on a second building, which will open by year-end.
Located at 532 Fourth Avenue South in downtown St. Petersburg (33701), the high-end, high-tech, high-efficiency, four-floor units, include a spacious rooftop covered lanai and open deck, with such options as: rooftop alfresco kitchen, outdoor hot tub, in-home private elevator, electric car charger, and a connected-home "Einstein Package." Each customizable unit has three bedrooms, up to three full-baths, two half-baths, and a one-car garage. The developer is Salt Palm Development.
In tune with downtown's Innovation District, the Sabal Smart Home automation system comprises industry-leading tech from Sonos, Nest, Lutron, Alarm.com and more. Solar tech substantially reduces carbon footprint. Masonry construction helps ensure longevity. There are currently eight units, starting at $740k, with granite, quartz, and a variety of other fine-finish options. Standard features include: built-in closet systems, stainless steel appliances, and 9'4" ceilings throughout. President of Development Andrew Deslandes said, "The Sabal was designed for style and function, anticipating needs and wants of homeowners seeking high-end city living."
Sabal residents are four blocks from the waterfront and such attractions as The Dali Museum and Mahaffey Theatre. The popular location affords easy access to the Waterfront Arts, Central Arts, Edge, and Innovation districts, as well as Tropicana Field, and Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital.
"With the expanding Innovation District, and anchoring the Florida High Tech Corridor, St. Pete is attracting business-savvy, community-minded, thought-leading entrepreneurs and senior talent," said Salt Palm's Michael Cromwell. "The progressive nature of St. Pete, the City's sustainability goals, and the developer's principles and practices, all factored into creating The Sabal's smart, sustainable, downtown living."
Salt Palm Development will make several announcements in coming weeks and months, largely involving its work as a "Benefit Corporation" – including significant beautification projects and efforts to promote the global "B Corp" movement in St. Pete and Florida. Salt Palm leaders have deep industry experience with various facets of business and development, as well as significant philanthropic and community endeavors. Salt Palm is a member of 1% For The Planet and is formalizing several other partnerships related to corporate responsibility, globally and locally.
About Salt Palm: St. Pete-based Salt Palm Development is dedicated to creating high-end residential, sustainable, responsible developments for the Tampa Bay region. The company focuses on high-quality and high-functioning designs, and makes business decisions considering environmental and societal impacts. More information is available at SaltPalm.com and TheSabalStPete.com.

Q: Pandas - check if values in column match one of two formats In my dataframe, I have a column that will contain a date. It should only be accepted if the format is 'YYYYMMDD' or 'MMDD'. In addition, if the format is 'MMDD',  the year should be taken from another column and appended into the MMDD date like so;
  df['YYYYMMDD'] = df['YYYY'].astype(str) + df['Date'].astype(str).apply(lambda x: x.zfill(4))

After the append, the old column is deleted and the new column renamed to the desired output.
For the match, I've tried regex (df_ori['Date'].str.matches(r'^\d{8}$')) but I get the error;
AttributeError: Can only use .str accessor with string values, which use np.object_ dtype in pandas.
I try df_ori['Date'].astype(str).str.matches(r'^\d{8}$') and it gives the error;
'StringMethods' object has no attribute 'matches'
I think I'm just going about this the wrong way really. Any help is appreciated.
df.head() as requested:
   YYYY  MMDD
0  2016   525
1  2016   728
2  2014   821
3  2016   311
4  2016   422

A: You need str.match and str.zfill:
df['YYYYMMDD'] = df['YYYY'].astype(str) + df['Date'].astype(str).str.zfill(4)

print (df_ori['YYYYMMDD'].astype(str).str.match(r'^\d{8}$'))
0    True
1    True
2    True
3    True
4    True
Name: YYYYMMDD, dtype: bool

If want 4 or 8 match:
print (df_ori['YYYYMMDD'].astype(str).str.match(r'^\d{8}$|^\d{4}$'))

If want from 4 to 8 match:
print (df_ori['YYYYMMDD'].astype(str).str.match(r'^\d{4,8}$'))

EDIT:
If need append only if len is 4:
print (df_ori)
   YYYY  MMDD  YYYYMMDD
0  2016   525  20160525
1  2016   728  20160728

3  2016  1211      2211
4  2016   422  20160422

a = df_ori['YYYY'].astype(str) + df_ori['YYYYMMDD'].astype(str)
m = df_ori['YYYYMMDD'].astype(str).str.len() == 4
df_ori['YYYYMMDD'] = df_ori['YYYYMMDD'].mask(m, a)
print (df_ori)

Q: How to hide div after clicking on button? I would like to hide the div (which is "hide-div") as soon as the user cliks on the button when there is a navigation to the same page. Please help me on this. Thanks

   <button type="button" title="test" class="button btn-small" onclick="setLocation('abc.com');">'Add to Cart'</button>

A: Using Vanilla JavaScript. Although I recommend using event handler instead of inline JS, this is in view of your code.

*

*Hide the element using style.display

*You can redirect the page after hiding the button using window.location

function setLocation(loc) {
  document.getElementById('hide-div').style.display = 'none';
  window.location = loc;
}

   <button type="button" title="test" class="button btn-small" onclick="setLocation('http://google.com')">'Add to Cart'</button>

A: You can do this by simple jquery

A: Using jQuery you can do this in your onclick:
$('#hide-div').hide()

http://api.jquery.com/hide/

A: Use jQuery to hide it:
$('#hide-div button').click(function(){
    $(this).parent().hide();
});

A: I assume you have jQuery added to your page already. So, something like this maybe:

 $('#hide-div .button').on('click', function() {
      $('#hide-div').hide();
    });

   <button type="button" title="test" class="button btn-small" onclick="setLocation('abc.com');">'Add to Cart'</button>

I Used to Have a Plan: But Life Had Other Ideas (Hardcover)
By Alessandra Olanow
Balm for the soul—Alessandra Olanow offers advice, inspiration, and encouragement for anyone who needs a shoulder to lean on during a difficult time.
"I Know This Too Shall Pass. (But It Would Be Helpful to Know When)."
After a series of events left her a divorced single mother questioning herself, her relationships, and basically, everything she thought was true about her "picture-perfect" life, Alessandra Olanow began drawing and posting illustrations on Instagram that reflected her feelings and struggles to right her life. She chronicled her journey of healing, expressing the shock, delusion, denial, self-pity, and self-doubt she experienced and the self-empathy and forgiveness that ultimately helped her regain a sense of self—but stronger, more fearless, and more hopeful than before. Her charming illustrations and keen, memorable observations—struck a chord. Within a year, her audience grew dramatically, from 9,500 to 157,000 followers, including celebrities Katie Couric, Jennifer Garner, Elise Loehnen (chief content officer at Goop), the poet Joao Doederlein, and Joanna Goddard (founder of A Cup of Jo).
I Used to Have a Plan brings Olanow's soothing sensibility to a wider audience, featuring new drawings and ideas that touch upon the universal experiences of unexpected change and loss. Divided into five parts—"I Didn't See That Coming," "It's OK That You're Not OK," "Where'd I Go," "The Only Way Out Is Through," and "I Like It Here, Can I Stay a While?"—the book beautifully encapsulates the experience of encountering difficulty, processing it and healing from it, and becoming stronger and with a better sense of self.
Full of advice, commiseration, empathy, and wit that is comforting, helpful, direct, and remarkable in its truth, I Used to Have a Plan helps everyone through the painful yet ultimately uplifting process of healing.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Water Pump-Jeep is a brand of American automobiles that is a unfriendliness of FCA US LLC (formerly Chrysler Group, LLC), a wholly owned supplementary of the Italian-American corporation Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Jeep has been a part of Chrysler before 1987, later Chrysler acquired the Jeep brand, along considering surviving assets, from its previous owner: American Motors Corporation (AMC).
Jeep's current product range consists solely of sport bolster vehicles and off-road vehicles, but has plus included pickup trucks in the past. Some of Jeep's vehiclessuch as the Grand Cherokeereach into the luxury SUV segment, a puff segment the Wagoneer is considered to have created. Jeep sold 1.4 million SUVs globally in 2016, in the works from 500,000 in 2008, two-thirds of which in North America, and was Fiat-Chrysler's best selling brand in the U.S. during the first half of 2017. In the U.S. alone, greater than 2400 dealerships retain franchise rights to sell Jeep-branded vehicles, and if Jeep were spun off into a separate company, it is estimated to be worth with $22 and $33.5 billionslightly more than all of FCA (US).
The Jeep marque has been headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, ever previously Willys-Overland launched production of the first CJ or Civilian Jeep branded models there in 1945. Its replacement, the theoretically consistent Jeep Wrangler series, remains in production past 1986. subsequent to its unassailable axles and right of entry top, the Wrangler has been called the Jeep model that is as central to the brands identity as the rear-engined 911 is to Porsche.
At least two Jeep models (the CJ-5 and the SJ Wagoneer) enjoyed astonishing three-decade production runs of a single body generation. Jeeps have previously the court case inspired a number of supplementary light advance vehicles, such as the estate Rover. Many Jeep variants serving similar military and civilian roles have since been expected in supplementary nations.
In lowercase the term "jeep" continues to be used as a generic term for vehicles inspired by the Jeep that are adequate for use on brusque terrain.

Here's The Moment Harry Redknapp Ran Over His Wife And Dragged Her Along The Street
Classic Harry.
Harry Redknapp has a bit of an image as a wheeler dealer in the game of football, but it turns out he's actually a bit of a livewire when he gets behind the wheel of a car too judging by this latest story.
Images VIA
Apparently Harry drove his Range Rover down to his local shops in Bournemouth to drop 69-year-old Sandra off to pick up some groceries, but as she was exiting the vehicle, her coat got caught in the door. Harry didn't pick up on this detail and instead decided to speed off, ending up literally dragging her along the floor by her coat tails to the horror of those in the vicinity.
Sandra screamed in agony and Harry eventually stopped the Range Rover but not until her foot had been seriously injured. One onlooker described the incident:
There was a lot of blood on the tarmac and Harry was beside himself.
I was in a shop and a couple of people came in and said, 'Crikey, there's a lady who's been dragged along the road'.
Then someone else came in and said it was Harry Redknapp who had just dropped his wife off.
I heard as he drove off she got her coat caught in the door. She was dragged along the road before he realised.
I think she has been badly injured.
Yeah, no shit that kind of behaviour is going to injure you pretty badly. Harry Redknapp was said to be more upset than when he didn't get the England job, and waited for an ambulance to arrive with his wife in agony. She then had surgery last night in the local hospital to sort out her problem and was recuperating today.
Never a dull moment with Harry Redknapp eh, but I suppose she knew what she was getting herself into when she signed up. For more of the great man, check out what he said when a West Ham fan tried to tell him Scott Canham was better than Frank Lampard. Owned.

McCain Didn't Stop The Obamacare Repeal — The Friendship Between Collins And Murkowski Did
There is a lot more to this story.
Isaac Saul @ike_saul
We've all seen the camaraderie between John McCain and Lindsay Graham and the bromance beween Justin Trudeau and Barack Obama, but now a powerful new pair is emerging: Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.
Murkowski, Sen. Shelley Capito, and Collins.
The two moderate Republican senators from Maine and Alaska, respectively, have become a unified front against some of President Donald Trump's most visible efforts to push hardline policies with no bipartisan support. While their friendship culminated in a dramatic vote to stop the so-called "skinny repeal" of Obamacare late Thursday night, it's been a force to be reckoned with for quite some time.
Collins and her mentor, former Sen. Barbara Mikulski.
Earlier this week, Murkowski and Collins were the only two Republicans to defect on a vote to move to debate the repeal of Obamacare, once again forcing Pence to intervene and break a Senate tie. Their opposition came after they and the three other women in the GOP Senate were excluded from a 13-person working group to draft the Better Care Reconciliation Act, also known as Trumpcare. The result was a bill that called for defunding Planned Parenthood and deep cuts to Medicaid, two issues that Sen. Murkowski and Sen. Collins have been consistently critical of.
This tension culminated in a vote on Thursday night that might have been the Republican Senate's last chance to force through a repeal of Obamacare down party lines. After seven years of promising to repeal Obamacare, Republican Senate leaders met on Thursday afternoon to draft a bill that they could send to the House as an effort to get to the next step of the legislative process. Murkowski, Collins and McCain first saw the skinny repeal bill just hours before the vote.
The move was exactly the kind of unprecedented partisan push that Sen. McCain had derided earlier in the week during a now famous speech he gave on the Senate floor in his first public appearance since being diagnosed with brain cancer. At the time, McCain called for a "return to regular order" and bipartisan legislation.
It was also the kind of partisan, hasty process Murkowski and Collins had repeatedly said they would not accept. Not long before the vote, the Congressional Budget Office released its score of the skinny repeal, and it was not good: 16 million people would lose health insurance by 2026 and premiums on the exchanges would go up 20 percent.
All this led to the Hollywood-like tension in the Senate chamber late Thursday night. Vice President Mike Pence drove to the Capitol and did his best to lobby McCain to change his vote, talking to him for more than 20 minutes at one point on the Senate floor. At the same time, Sens. Blunt, Thune and Sullivan were lobbying Murkowski to change her vote. Senator Wicker was debating with Collins. But the two female senators, at times flanking Sen. McCain and also seen laughing and smiling through the drama, stuck together.
At about 1:30 a.m. on Friday morning, after Sen. Murkowski and Sen. Collins had voted "no" on the skinny repeal, the effort to repeal Obamacare took a dramatic blow when Sen. McCain approached the front of the chamber and voted the measure down. The climactic scene ended with an eruption of cheers and applause from the Democratic side of the chamber that was immediately quieted by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
All of this unfolded with Washington D.C. reporters watching from the press gallery and Americans at home watching the live stream on C-SPAN late into the night. And while many of the headlines focus on Sen. McCain, it was the unlikely bond of two senators from Maine and Alaska that truly put a stop to the wild push for a repeal.

— Philip Lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) July 28, 2017
The failed vote, which ended 51-49 against, leaves few options for the Republican-led Congress in repealing Obamacare going forward. Instead, it looks as though they will have to work across the aisle and find legislation that can earn 60 votes in the Senate to become law. The Senate is currently made up of 52 Republicans and 48 Democrats.
As the night came to a close, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Schumer both delivered emotional speeches, each getting choked up while they spoke. Sen. McConnell expressed his disappointment but insisted that it was time to "move on" and work with the other side.
"The American people are going to regret that we couldn't find a better way forward," McConnell said. "And as I said, we look forward to our colleagues on the other side suggesting what they have in mind."
As for Murkowski and Collins' stalwart refusal to back down on their votes into the wee hours of the night, a comment once made the former comes to mind. One snowy 2016 day following a blizzard, Murkowski looked award the Senate chamber and saw that only female senators had arrived to work.
"Perhaps it just speaks to the heartiness of women," she told The Washington Post at the time, "that you put on your boots and put your hat on and get out, slog through the mess that is out there."
In June of 2016, the more moderate Sen. Collins was already questioning whether then-candidate Trump could govern. She went as far as openly floating the idea that she might vote for Hillary Clinton. Murkowski, however, did not withdraw her support for Trump until the release of the now infamous Washington Post tapes in which President Trump tacitly admitted to sexually assaulting women.
"I cannot and will not support Donald Trump for president," Sen. Murkowski said in the wake of the tapes. "He has forfeited the right to be our party's nominee."
The pair's first highly publicized stand came in February when Murkowski and Collins announced their opposition to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos in back-to-back speeches. Their "no" votes forced the unusual spectacle of Vice President Mike Pence having to break the Senate tie to confirm the controversial nominee. It wouldn't be the last time they forced Pence to get involved, either.

From 07.10.-10.10.2015, more than five hundred participants gathered in Antalya/Turkey to exchange information and opinions on the Turkish cement industry and the latest discoveries from practice and research at the 13th TÇMB, International Technical Seminar and Exhibition. Just on one hundred exhibitors took the opportunity of showcasing their products and services, and of providing information on current projects, at the accompanying exhibition. This industry forum, perfectly organised down to the last detail by the Turkish Cement Manufacturers' Association, also offered numerous opportunities for intensive interchange of experience between specialist colleagues.
M. Şefik Tüzün, Chairman of the Board of the Turkish Cement Manufacturers' Association, emphasised in his speech of welcome the aim of the event, held for the first time in 1987 and now recurring biennially, of disseminating knowledge on the technology of cement production. As he noted, the TÇMB aspires to bring Turkish cement producers and subsuppliers together as a communications platform. Topics such as environmental protection and sustainability, energy-savings, low-carbon technologies, alternative fuels and feed materials, industrial safety and high product quality are important current topics on the Turkish cement industry's agenda. As Tüzün states: "With 52 integrated and in total 70 production units, the Turkish cement industry stands at the focal point of the national economy and the world cement business; Turkey ranks first in Europe and fifth in the world in cement production". A key industry in Turkey, the cement industry employs some 50 000 people. The prospects are good: seven million existing buildings are to be renovated during the next twenty years, 1.7 million of them in Istanbul alone. More detailed information on the Turkish cement industry can be found in our interview with M. Şefik Tüzün starting on page 16.
"The 13th International Technical Seminar reflects the deep and long-standing relationship between the AUCBM and TCMA, and, in particular, the fact that Turkey and the Arab countries constitute an important region, where the cement industry and cement production have developed significantly, and also their prominent geographical location, close to Europe, Africa and the rest of the world", noted Eng. Ahmad Al-Rousan, AUCBM, Secretary General, in his welcoming address: "The topics highlight important issues in the cement industry, including carbon reduction technologies and the use of municipal and industrial waste, which, in turn, achieve sustainable development of the industry. Within the scope of the Arab cement industry, it has developed remarkably over recent years; the number of factories amounted to 164 plants and 21 mills, and nominal capacities registered 340 million t, 153 million t of which were in the Arab Mashreq countries and 126 million t in the GCC countries. Actual production reached 214 million t in 2014, and total consumption was 234 million t. It is expected that consumption will decrease during 2015 and 2016 due to the difficult conditions experienced in countries such as Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Yemen, as well as the decline in oil prices, in addition to other economic circumstances. This will mostly lead to the cancellation of some planned projects, especially in the GCC countries.
Imports reached 43 million t, and went mainly to Algeria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia; however, they have started to decline. Exports registered 19 million t and the per capita consumption rate was 1700 kg of cement in Algeria, Egypt, GCC countries, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia; and it reached 185 kg in the remainder of the Arab countries. Most cement factories and companies are owned by the local public sector, while 23 % of the industry is owned by major international companies, in varying proportions".
Koen Coppenholle, CEO of Cembureau, emphasised in his remarks that the predominant topic in the European cement industry are both the reduction of CO2 emissions and the efficient use of energy. The cement industry, he affirmed, is highly committed to the reuse of waste from other industries as feed materials, in the form, for example, of alternative fuels, and is thus promoting the targeted "circular economy". The cement sector, as a capital-intensive local industry, makes a significant contribution to regional development, to employment and to economic growth. As he noted, global cement production in 2014 was some 4.3 billion t, of which 56.5 % alone was produced in China. For the purpose of comparison: Cembureau produced 5.5 %, Africa 4.8 %, India 7.0 %, Asia (not including China, Japan and India) 15.5 % and America (including the USA) 6.5 %.
Aisha Elaine Williams, Country Manager for Turkey, World Bank Group IFC, focussed in her speech on investment in sustainable projects in the cement industry, and illustrate, citing examples such as Cimko Cement, Turkey, potentials for the financing of a range of different projects.
Ashwani Pahuja, Director General, National Council for Cement and Building Materials, India, spoke on the situation in the Indian cement industry; interested readers will find his report, starting on page 24.
The subsequent corporate presentations and specialist papers on the two-day agenda examined a broad bandwidth of topics, ranging from the use of alternative fuels, and chemical additives for the reduction of CO2, energy-saving grinding technologies, maintenance, optimised use of energy, up to and including the reduction of NOx emissions.
The accompanying exhibition was well frequented during the breaks, also providing an opportunity for exchange of opinions on the preceding papers and for discussion of new projects, among other things.
The event closed with a gala dinner, the grandiose accompanying cultural and entertainment programme, which almost magically levitated the around 500 attendant guests from their seats. The 14th TÇMB will be held in 2017.

If your child has a severe to profound permanent deafness and gets limited or no benefit from hearing aids, you may be thinking about them having a cochlear implant.
Before deciding to go ahead with a cochlear implant for your child, you'll need time to think about the long-term commitment you're making.
Families will go through the assessment process and make the decision on whether a cochlear implant is the right option for their child in partnership with professionals from the cochlear implant team. For some families this can be a difficult decision as there are so many things to consider.
Having lots of balanced information and speaking to families with experience of the process may help you make your decision. It's important that if your child is old enough, you and the professionals involved listen to their feelings about cochlear implants and involve them as much as possible in making the decision. Our comic for children aged eight and under, Chloe gets cochlear implants, can help with this.
If at any time, you or your child feel that having an implant isn't the right choice, always feel free to say so. If you have any questions about the tests, the operation and what it's like to live with an implant, talk to the professionals working with you and your child.
When you start thinking about cochlear implants and finding out more information about them you'll come across different views regarding implanting children at a young age.
Some people in the Deaf community don't feel that deafness needs to be cured and that a deaf child should be old enough to make their own decision before being implanted.
Others see deafness as a condition which can be helped by technological intervention and that a cochlear implant can give a profoundly deaf child their best and only chance of gaining access to spoken language.
If you're interested in finding out more about this debate, it's a good idea to talk to deaf people with and without cochlear implants and to families and deaf children themselves about their experiences and feelings.
Your local deaf children's society is a good place to start as well as the Cochlear Implanted Children's Support Group, a voluntary group run by parents offering support to parents of deaf children with cochlear implants and those who are deciding if implantation is right for their child.
If your child is older when you're first thinking about a cochlear implant it's important that they're fully involved in the assessment process, discussions and final decision. They may like to talk to a friend, family member or a trusted professional such as their Teacher of the Deaf or communication support worker.
While you're going through this process, encourage your child to talk with other families about their experiences of what it's like to have and also to live with an implant.

Paragon Lake Out to Dazzle Jewelry Buyers with Virtual Customization
Robert Buderi
@bbuderi
You could say that her love of jewelry brought Deborah Besemer out of early retirement. But while that might have a certain, shall we say, ring of truth to it, it's really only one facet of the story. There were other, more important factors, such as the opportunity to challenge herself in a new arena and to revolutionize how people buy and sell jewelry, a $60 billion market in the U.S. alone.
Oh, and then there was the chance to mentor a 23-year-old entrepreneur whom she paints as the next great entrepreneur in New England. As she boldly puts it, "I'm going to be a part of helping make Matt the most successful entrepreneur ever to hit the software industry."
Matt is Matt Lauzon, the co-founder of Paragon Lake, a startup housed in incubator space at Highland Capital Partners' headquarters off Route 2 in Lexington, MA. I guess you could call him a diamond in the rough, only he seems pretty polished. Lauzon recently gave me a quick tour of his already impressive operation. And when I heard that Besemer—who sold the last startup she ran, BrassRing, for $115 million and previously headed worldwide field operations for Lotus—was coming on board as the new CEO, I dove in to learn more about Paragon Lake.
The company was founded in August 2006 by Lauzon (who moved from CEO to COO with Besemer's arrival) and Jason Reuben (who's no longer with the company), when they were undergraduate students at Babson College. They chose "Paragon" for the company name because it "means the perfect embodiment of a concept," says Lauzon. "Admittedly, there was not a lot of science behind 'Lake.'" In 2007, the startup became part of the Summer@Highland incubator program—and hasn't strayed from the Highland fold since. Last July, the company received $5.8 million in Series A funding, led by Highland and Canaan Partners in Westport, CT.
Lauzon's gem of an idea is to bring a new era of customization and personalization to jewelry shopping. And the first step toward doing this is the Virtual Display Case, which launched with the company's first retail partner this March.
The case is essentially a computer interface that allows customers to browse thousands of pieces of jewelry from up-and-coming designers. Think of it as a virtual inventory—and this is important, because as Besemer points out, the jewelry market "is still predominantly small, locally owned businesses." These businesses are largely clueless about using the Internet to boost sales, she says, and "their inventory carrying costs are huge."
The case, though, goes way beyond allowing store owners to display more items for sale. Paragon Lake's proprietary platform involves digitally rendering each design so realistically it is difficult to tell them from a photo. This digitization allows customers to easily play with designs and switch key parameters around. As Lauzon explains, a customer might see a platinum ring embedded with diamonds that he liked but couldn't afford. But imagine if the shopper could replace the diamonds with his daughter's birthstone and change the platinum to sterling, personally designing "that ring for that special someone."
Both Besemer and Lauzon call this a "wow" experience. "The consumer sees … Next Page »

$60 billion jewelry market in the U.S. alone? I didn't knew that. I like the idea of customizing the ring how you want.


"Awesome service. You can't tell the differences in the hem plus I still have the right proportion of the boot cut. I have never been able to get the right length off the shelf but your service is close to having jeans custom made. In fact, I sent 2 more pairs of jeans today." Thanks! - Chris H.
"I have 3 more pair of selvedge jeans and I would gladly spend the cost incurred to have them repaired by you guys. The shipping, etc. was amazingly simple. You'll be seeing another pair by next week." - Josh B.
"I was really pleased with your service! I was a bit nervous about it -- sending you my favorite jeans and not being sure what the outcome would be. I had a "blingy" rivet repaired on my Miss Me jeans and I was SO happy to get them back looking just perfect! The price was really reasonable. I will definitely use your service again - in fact I sent of a second pair to you, to be hemmed, last week. I am recommending you to anyone who will listen!"
"I cannot say enough about the great job that was done on my jeans. I can hardly see the repair. The process was fast easy and painless. A well done to all involved." - Beth L.
"My experience with Denimrepair.com was GREAT! The repairs are terrific and a quick turn around." - Robert A.
"Denim Repair was such an easy process. (Much easier than schlepping to the store to try on several pairs of jeans only to be disappointed that they aren't as good as the ones I've loved for years.) Couldn't replace them, so I loved that I could have them repaired instead of buying new. Good quality repair, too. Would definitely recommend this service to friends."
"I truly couldn't be happier. I have recently lost 25 pounds and am proud of that. These jeans once again fit like a dream but they're not made anymore! As I ran into this dilemma, I found you out of necessity. You exceeded all expectations and I can wear these jeans again with pride. I really appreciate you and I'm grateful for your support in my journey to get my old body back albeit indirectly. I will be using your services again when the need arises. I appreciate you!"

Opioid dependency has skyrocketed since the 1990's. Today, there is roughly 1 opioid prescription written for every 2 Monterey County residents according to the California Department of Public Health (2018). Individualized efforts to address the opioid crisis must become a smooth-running process to rectify the damage of over-prescribing. The Prescribe Safe Monterey County Initiative has been a leader in alleviating some damages the epidemic has brought upon our community since their work began in 2014. Accelerating their efforts to combat opioid misuse and abuse by utilizing Monterey County Health Department's strategy maps is the focus of this capstone. The recommendation is the development of a strategy map to address the opioid epidemic for stakeholders to utilize for addressing gaps in treatment and prescriber education. The expectation is that the county will have a well-structured, user friendly strategy map that addresses the community's needs to combat opioid misuse an abuse.
