On Thursday, November 13, Rasmussen Reports published a new survey they say reveals that a majority of Americans object to net neutrality. According to the polling group, 61 percent of respondents "strongly oppose so-called 'net neutrality' efforts that would allow the federal government to regulate the Internet." However, after looking over the questions Rasmussen asked, it is clear that there is a misunderstanding over what net neutrality is actually about.
Net neutrality is the principle that the Internet should be free and open — plain and simple. It is the principle that the government and the market should treat all information accessible on the Internet equally without discrimination based on user, content, platform, or which medium the information is communicated.
Essentially, advocates of net neutrality believe that they should be able to access and share online information easily, without interference from a third party — and while this does include the government, it also includes corporations like Internet service providers (ISPs). Under a system completely free from government regulation, for example, ISPs can strong arm companies to accept higher prices for faster download speeds or even limit or block what content customers are able to access based on the corporation's business interests.
Take Comcast as an example.
In February 2014, Comcast struck a deal with Netflix to allow the company to stream movies and shows at faster speeds in order to improve the quality of their service to customers. It was not the first deal of its kind to be made by Comcast, but it garnered much more attention than previous deals because of the companies involved. Now, some will argue that there is nothing wrong with this. Companies and consumers who want a better product will usually have to pay more for it.
However, what wasn't heavily reported at the time was what happened during the months of negotiations between the two companies. A closer look at Netflix download speeds show that they plummeted under Comcast during the negotiations process and they didn't turnaround until after a deal was made.
This is, as John Oliver puts it, the equivalent of a mob shakedown. Comcast strong-armed Netflix to make a deal that went mostly in Comcast's favor.
While there is no documented evidence that ISPs have gone so far as to block customers from viewing content these corporations view as bad for their business interests (something that would most certainly have an adverse effect on business), there is evidence that some ISPs are already manipulating the market by targeting Internet-based companies and are essentially picking winners and losers in the process.
By creating a system in which companies pay higher prices for faster download speeds, some companies are going to benefit more than others; namely, the biggest and wealthiest companies. Netflix can afford to pay for faster speeds to stream its content. A startup company or a smaller company would not be able to and an inability to compete in the market will force these companies to exit the market altogether.
This process of picking winners and losers in the online market creates what is often referred to as a "closed Internet." This is what advocates of net neutrality want to avoid. Proponents want to protect an open Internet and understand that the irony of a free market is that there must be some regulation in place to protect the market's freedom and to ensure competition is encouraged, not discouraged.
Who Is Shaping The Debate on Net Neutrality?
On Monday, President Barack Obama made it clear that not only does he support net neutrality, but he supports reclassifying the Internet as a utility under Title II of the Telecommunications Act so that the FCC could implement net neutrality rules that can survive judicial scrutiny. The FCC has tried a couple of times to enforce net neutrality, but these rules were struck down in federal court.
"In plain English, I am asking [the FCC] to recognize that for most Americans, the Internet has become an essential part of everyday communication and everyday life," the president said in a video statement.
Net neutrality, Obama argues, would mean consumers will always have the freedom to decide what content they get to look at — not their ISP. Additionally, the president says ISPs should not be able to slow down some content and speed up others (a process known as "throttling") based on what services the company prefers, and should not limit competition on the Internet through paid prioritization — creating a tiered system for bandwidth speeds.
Not censoring content. Not limiting competition. Making sure the blogger on the laptop can get information off the Internet as easily and efficiently as a major company. These are the general principles of net neutrality.
How closely have you followed recent news reports about so-called Internet "neutrality" issues?
Should the Internet remain "open" without regulation and censorship or should the Federal Communications Commission regulate the Internet like it does radio and television?
How concerned are you that if the FCC does gain regulatory control over the Internet it will lead to government efforts to control online content or promote a political agenda?
What is the best way to protect those who use the Internet — more government regulation or more free market competition?
Based on the answers to the above questions, Rasmussen reports that 61 percent of Americans are opposed to net neutrality. Yet, these questions completely miss the point of net neutrality, which either comes from a misunderstanding of the fundamental principles of net neutrality or Rasmussen asked these questions this specific way to twist the dialogue to fit a certain narrative.
The Internet almost collectively slammed Cruz for these comments, including The Oatmeal, which took it upon itself to explain net neutrality to the senator in the simplest way possible. The website concluded two things about Cruz: (1) When he accepted campaign funds from telecom lobbyists last year, he was asked to publicly smear net neutrality; and (2) he doesn't know what net neutrality is — which is a fair assumption based on his tweet.
Net neutrality is not about closing the Internet through gov't regs, but keeping it open.
The first conclusion is difficult to prove. He may have accepted campaign dollars from big telecommunication companies like Comcast, but he could just as easily oppose net neutrality because Obama came out in support of it — maybe (i.e. likely) both. The standard, hardline partisan reaction in Washington is if the other side comes out in favor of something, the first priority is to oppose it by linking it to an unpopular law like the Affordable Care Act.
While Rasmussen has been characterized as having a conservative bias, much like Public Policy Polling is often characterized as having a liberal bias, it is not entirely clear what specific interest the group has in this debate. Unlike Cruz, there are no partisan points to score or lobbyist dollars to collect. Maybe the survey was influenced by an ideological stance that favors "Big Business" or maybe the questions came from a general misunderstanding of what net neutrality means and how the FCC operates (an independent agency made up of a bipartisan committee). This is left up to the individual to speculate on.
However, a few things are clear. Net neutrality is not about closing the Internet through government regulations, but keeping it open. Net neutrality is not about the government regulating the Internet like it does radio and television; it is not about censorship, but preventing third parties from acting like censors. It is not about limiting competition, but protecting it. And, the current lack of rules means corporations get to decide just how good a free and open Internet is for business; especially, since it has become an essential part of daily life.
Net neutrality is something that is supported by people across the political spectrum, and is not a partisan issue — or it shouldn't be anyway.

Martavis Bryant requested trade from Steelers
By Jeremy Bergman
Around The NFL Writer
Updated: April 5, 2018 at 06:00 p.m.
NFC East camp primer: Key players, crucial position battles to watch
The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off their most comprehensive victory of the season, but one of their top receivers still wants out.
Martavis Bryant recently requested a trade from the AFC North leaders, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported late Sunday, per sources informed of Bryant's request. Rapoport noted that Bryant's teammates and coaches are well aware that the receiver is unhappy.
Speaking to reporters Monday, Bryant, however, said he didn't express unhappiness with the team.
"Nah. I'm good, man. I'm good to go," Bryant said when asked if he requested a trade. "Just gonna play ball ... finish strong and move on forward."
Bryant added that he recently spoke to Steelers coaches "about what I can do better and that's it."
Bryant also posted Sunday night on Twitter that he was happy in Pittsburgh.
Big win today and tomorrow right back to work tomorrow I am happy to be a steeler and can't wait to reach number 7 this year.
— Martavis Bryant (@ThaBestUNO) October 16, 2017
The embattled wideout, who only one-month-and-change ago returned from his season-long suspension, has 15 receptions on 31 targets for 204 yards on the season. Bryant caught two balls for 27 yards against the Chiefs on Sunday.
This development is rather surprising considering how the franchise stuck with Bryant during his difficult return to the field. Banned for his violation of the league's policy on substances of abuse, the receiver was conditionally reinstated during the preseason and was only fully brought back into the fold the week before the season kicked off.
Before and during his suspension, Bryant earned the ire of his quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who on many occasions said, regarding Bryant's maturity, the receiver had to "toughen up" and "grow up." But so far this season, during which the Steelers have been embroiled in locker-room drama, Bryant has kept himself out of the tabloids.
Bryant remains one the game's top big-play threats, if not one of its most consistent producers. While Bryant remains Pittsburgh's second-most targeted receiver behind Antonio Brown, he has seen rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster eat up a couple of his targets and earn more of a role in Pittsburgh's offense.
Bryant would be a boon for a playoff-hungry, receiver-poor team, if Pittsburgh is willing to appease their dispirited receiver. The Steelers have until the Oct. 31 trade deadline to make a move.

This class will give you the tools and metaphysical teachings to establish yourself in your own power and to build a direct relationship with your own inner wisdom. By learning how to strengthen your energy field you will learn how to live your life in a way where you choose which energies of your environment you allow to influence or affect you.
The metaphysical concepts and ancient teachings that will be shared come from the ancient lineage of King Solomon, one of the 7 great Mystery Schools on this planet today. They have been orally transmitted from teacher to student in the tradition of the mystery schools for 3000 years and much of its wisdom goes back even further to 8000 years where it can be traced back to Hermes (see also Hermetica in the reading list). Many teachings and healings today have their origins in this ancient lineage. By going back to the source of this wisdom you receive a complete system and deeper understanding.
All masters of light have at some point received initiation, and initiation is the ancient way to anchor more light energy (self-awareness and awareness of our environment) to our structure. This is a safe way of spiritual progression as with the initiation the amount of light is gradual. The empower thyself initiation enters you into the lineage and gives you the foundation to do spiritual work with more understanding, clarity and power as well as the tools to strengthen and protect your energy field so that you can live life from your own will and with less influence from others. Without knowing we are influenced by our environment in every moment and by our past environment. The tools handed down in this class have been used for thousands of years to help individuals regain their individual genius, strength, drive and passion so that they can create their life in line with their purpose.
As humans, we are more than our physical body. Quantum cameras and other devices available today can help us visualise that and many of us can also sense more than the body. For example, they can sense other people's emotions or get a sense of other people's energy body. This class will give you an understanding of the different human energies and the tools to actively work with enhancing and strengthening them. Martial art practitioners such as Bruce Lee have used that understanding to create a field of strength around them and this works in a very similar way in daily life. This strength and power are to serve you to create life in a way that is in alignment with you.
This is achieved by increasing your connection to your higher self and practising sacred kabbalistic and shamanic rituals on a daily basis, these will be handed down during the class together with a targeted special meditation technique that allows you to connect with your higher self on a daily basis. The initiation gives you the spiritual authority to use these tools in the most powerful way and also ensures that your energy flows clockwise, which is the flow of nature, the divine and the universe. As we grow up on this planet we humans are influenced by our environment and start to flow anti-clockwise, this causes difficulties processing emotions and blockages in our life.
What is Magick, Energetic Ritual?
The second day ends with: Aura Realignment Healing and Initiation - sends your energy back into flow with the Will of Nature and the Universe.
How do I know the Empower Thyself initiation is right for me?
Sometimes there are no words to describe it, the inner knowing is enough. It is a feeling in your heart, your soul. It just feels right. Trust your intuition, to take a step that could very well transform your whole life.


Want to have a stronger process safety environment and ingrain safety principles in engineers' minds? Start early.
Part of the education is taking part in the Undergraduate Process Safety Learning Initiative (UPSLI) which occurs through AIChE's Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS).
There is a three-pronged approach to the program looking at modernizing and developing curriculum, engaging and educating students, and educating faculty.
"I think the three pieces work together well," Koenings said.
While Koenings said they are making great advances, they are continually trying to improve and grow the program.


Employee Tax Planning – Is Your Withholding Enough?
Saratoga Tax Lawyers – Our "pay-as-you-go" tax system requires that you make payments of your tax liability evenly throughout the year. If you don't, it's possible you could owe an underpayment penalty.
Some taxpayers meet the "pay-as-you-go" requirements by making quarterly estimated payments. However, when your income is primarily from wages, you meet the requirements through wage withholding and you rely on your employer's payroll department to take out the right amount of tax. Unfortunately, what payroll withholds may not be enough!
Other situations that may impact higher-income taxpayers starting in 2013 are the additional Medicare (hospital insurance) taxes on compensation and a surtax on net investment income.


Core Maths is a brand new course for those who want to keep up their valuable maths skills but are not planning to take AS or A-level mathematics. At the end of the two-year course, you will come out with a level 3 qualification – similar to an AS. The qualification is assessed by final examination.
Why should I study Core Maths?
Core Maths has been designed to maintain and develop real-life maths skills. What you study is not purely theoretical or abstract; it can be applied on a day-to-day basis in work, study or life and most courses will include a financial maths element. It will also help with other A-level subjects – in particular with science, geography, business studies, psychology and economics.
Core Maths is a new course but already several universities have come out in strong support of it. Even subjects like history now recognise the importance of statistics and so a Core Maths qualification will help you hit the ground running at university.
Employers from all different sectors are also firmly behind the Core Maths qualification. Many roles in today's workplace require high levels of budget management and problem-solving skills; Core Maths will be a useful tool in equipping you with these skills.
Only 20 percent of students study maths beyond GCSE in the UK – the lowest rate in leading developed countries in the world; in Japan, this figure is 85 per cent. This puts young people in the UK – you – at a major disadvantage in a global job market. The UK government wants this to change and has put in place a plan to encourage more students to carry on studying maths after GCSE. The aim is to ensure that by 2020, the vast majority of all students in post-16 education continue to study some form of maths.
How much time and effort will it involve?
Initially it will involve two hours in a maths classroom each week. It could also involve up to one hour of homework each week. If you subsequently want to develop a portfolio of coursework, possibly linked to one of your A level topics, then that could take more time and effort depending on what you wanted to do.

US regulator dismisses captioning exemption petitions
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has dismissed petitions from 16 television programs requesting exemptions from closed captioning requirements because they would be "economically burdensome".
According to the notice issued by the FCC on 2 June 2014, after representatives of the programs lodged initial petitions for exemptions, they were asked to provide further information. As they had failed to do this to the FCC's satisfaction, it dismissed the petitions, which means that the programs have 90 days to meet captioning requirements. The programs include Zomboo's House of Horror Movies, The Norm Prouty Real Estate Show and several religious programs.

Q: How can I tell if a listener is already running? I am adding a event listener to my Singleton class.  I am adding the listener in a add method.
 public void add(TCComponentItemRevision tcRevision, TCComponentDataset selectedDataset) {
  String revMasterForm;

  tcRevision.getSession().addAIFComponentEventListener(this);

  try {
     revMasterForm = tcRevision.getRelatedComponent("IMAN_master_form_rev").getUid();
     RevDataset pp = new RevDataset(tcRevision, selectedDataset, revMasterForm);
     if (!rds.contains(pp)) {
        rds.add(pp);
     }
  }
  catch (TCException e) {

     e.printStackTrace();
  }

  fireTableDataChanged();
}

I only want the lister to be adding once. So I figure there has to be some sort of a check.
something like
if (listener value == null) {
    tcRevision.getSession().addAIFComponentEventListener(this);
}

But I am not sure how to get the listener value?

A: I don't know what is the TCComponentItemRevision class but since this code is inside a Sigleton anyway you could use a boolean addedListener inside the Sigleton to check if the listener has been added:
if (!addedListener) {
    tcRevision.getSession().addAIFComponentEventListener(this);
    addedListener = true;
}

A: Event listeners generally don't "run".  They are "called" by the items that they are "listening to" or are (sometimes) called by a framework.
The reason they are called "listeners" and not just aggregate object collections is because the interface to attach and remove "listening" objects is defined by an interface that makes no assumptions about the concrete classes.  Instead the call back operation occurs only through interfaces (or very rarely abstract classes).
Now, with any class, perhaps the class does "run", but that's completely independent of the listening aspect.
--- Edited with suggestion about adding a listener only once ---
Since a the object responsible for adding a listener is typically not part of the code that is being listened to, why not make the "adding" object query the listeners before deciding to add itself as a listener?

A: The listener pattern requires that the session (returned by getSession) maintain a collection of things that are listening to it. When the session changes, it goes through this collection and tells each listener that it changed. It does this by invoking a method on each listener. The listener is allowed to run whatever code it wants to in that method.
If you're trying to make sure that you don't register listening multiple times, you can try to get access to the collection (which is probably actually an array). If you can access that array, then before calling tcRevision.getSession().addAIFComponentEventListener(this); you would go through the array and check if any of the entries are 'this'. My suggestion would look something like this:
boolean alreadyAdded = false;
for(AIFComponentEventListener currentListener: tcRevision.getSession().getAIFEventListeners()){
    if(currentListener == this){
        alreadyAdded = true;
    }
}
if( ! alreadyAdded ){
    tcRevision.getSession().addAIFComponentEventListener(this);
}

Note that I'm guessing that there is a method called getAIFEventListeners. If there isn't, there may be a method with a different name but the same behavior. If the session has no such method, then you're forced to use another more complicated approach (such as keeping a list of sessions which you're already listening to.
Hope this helps!

Do you have an event in mind to showcase your products and services? Or a holiday sale perhaps? What about an end-of-season sale? Do you have a new item or merchandise in your list that you would want to introduce and promote to your clients? You can quickly get your message across to your clients and target audience by creating a flyer printing project that you can either mail to them, or personally hand out, or even put up in your area.
No matter how you get your flyer printing pieces to your potential customers – mail them, hand them out, leave them in places where people regularly meet and gather – your flyer printing project can be your most cost effective ally to market your products and services. Consisting of a one-page, letter sized, printed sheet of paper, your flyers are the cheapest, the easiest, and the most hardworking promotional tool that you can have in your marketing arsenal.
Need I say more to convince you? The important thing to consider now is that your flyer printing project should be an ally for your business to effectively promote your products and services to your target clients. Similar to brochures, your flyer printing pieces are made to do many tasks – promote and sell your products and services; introduce and explain your business to your potential customers; your flyers can even be used to emphasize a particular product or service that is very popular among your clients; and your flyer printing items can also promote an event that will further market your business to many of your target consumers.
But you have to keep in mind that not all flyers are effective agents to convince your target readers to consider your products and services, and the benefits that they can give your clients.
A good and effective flyer printing project must be able to clearly communicate your message, and most importantly, be able to explain and eventually sell your products or services to your potential clients. And the only way you can explain and sell clearly is by having a flyer printing project that has clear and concise wordings, a well planned and organized flyer printing design, a professional looking layout, as well as a flyer printing project that clearly focuses on a particular subject.
Even if you have a limited budget and you cannot afford professional designers to do your flyer printing project for you, you have to keep in mind to develop flyers with an expert design, an effectively communicated content, and more significantly, a flyer printing project that exudes conifdence in what it has to offer its prospective clients.
Flyers are definitely the cheapest marketing tool that you can produce with a limited budget as your financial resource. But with a good design, a clear and interesting copy, your flyers will go a long way and do more to get you clients for your business.

The 8th outlines the raw recent history of Repeal
Directors: Maeve O'Boyle, Lucy Kennedy and Aideen Kane Running Time: 95 minutes
The Galway Film Fleadh opened last night with the world premiere of Irish documentary The 8th. With subject matter so closely tied to the recent national psyche of the country, going as it does through the campaign to repeal the 8th Amendment which constitutionally banned abortion in the Republic, it can be difficult to assess Maeve O'Boyle, Lucy Kennedy and Aideen Kane's documentary on it's own merits. Functioning similarly Linda Cullen and Vanessa Gildea's Marriage Referendum doc The 34th, the film plays out as a matter of historical record, but the filmmakers do allow the heavy emotions of the time their rightful place, elevating The 8th beyond the newsreel footage.

Karl Callan's short film Repeal makes the reality of abortion in Ireland clear
With just 10 days to go until the Referendum on the regulation of termination of pregnancy, it is a vital time to provide information that is honest, both factually and emotionally, to the public. One of a number in the Irish film community making efforts in this regard is Karl Callan, whose short film, simply titled Repeal aims to tell the stories of women for whom the repealing of the 8th amendment is vital.

The short film Repeal will tell Irish women's stories this April
Repeal is the story of 3 women and the difficulties they encounter in the face of abortions laws in Ireland. Released early next month, the short is inspired by real women's testimonies of the difficulties they have faced as a consequence of the 8th amendment, and speaks to the importance of repealing the amendment when it goes to a referendum in May. A trailer for the short, directed by Karl Callan, is available now.

Q: React initialise state based on object If my data is in this structure from an api:
{
  title: "Title",
  id: 1,
  description: "example desc"
}

What would I pass in as the initial value to the state object? i.e
interface ObjectData {
    title: string,
    id: number,
    description: string
}

const [fetchData, setFetchData] = React.useState<ObjectData>(?// here);

A: I think you can do this:
{
  title: "Title",
  id: 1,
  description: "example desc"
}

const [fetchData, setFetchData] = React.useState({title, id, description});

Grabbed from here:
Saving object in React.useState

A: Either if you have a default value to set (perhaps a mock) then you can set that object of type ObjectData.
for example
const defaultData: ObjectData = {
 title: 'x',
 id: -1,
 description: 'xyz',
};

...
const [fetchData, setFetchData] = React.useState<ObjectData>(defaultData);

Otherwise if you don't have default Data and you will get the data in the later time for example via an async API, then leave it empty. The type of fetchData will automatically be fetchData: ObjectData|undefined
const [fetchData, setFetchData] = React.useState<ObjectData>();

Alternatively you can explicitly typecast the empty object as ObjectData
const [fetchData, setFetchData] = React.useState<ObjectData>({} as ObjectData);

I would leave the default value empty if I will get the data in the later time.

What to expect at your first visit.
We've seen benefits for the whole family from colic to headaches and back pain relief. Dr. Martin and his staff help us to feel great in our busy lives!
My name is Ana...in the last 3 years I had been experiencing pain everyday due to a car accident. loss, and stress. At age 24, I felt hopeless. I had tried everything, but now I can finally say that I have found something that works. I am pain free! I have stopped using my rescue inhaler for asthma almost completely. I can reach my fitness goals, sleep better, and just finally feel my age. My life quality has improved 100%. At MW they don't just do a wonderful job but they truly care and they will help you! Don't waste time, go to MW and try it for yourself. You will be as happy as me!
Dr. Martin has played a significant role in my overall health for the past 8 years. Recently, I developed sciatica while training to participate in a full Tough Mudder event. Thanks to Dr. Martin's expert care, I accomplished my goal on my 63rd birthday. It is amazing what the body is capable of achieving when the mind is willing.
I can now drive to the cottage pain free! Thanks to Dr. Martin and staff. Before, after 45 minutes I would be in pain, now I can make the four hour drive!
Coaching turns my dreams and goals into life practices and challenges me to the next level.
I love how Dr. Martin brings to life the miraculous way the body can heal itself without the use of medication.
I get adjusted on a regular basis to keep my body feeling the best that it can. Adjustments also help with my stress levels and help me recover faster with injuries and ailments.
I started coming to see Dr. Martin after I began experiencing lower back pain while working out. I have been coming now consistently for over a year now and am happy to say that my lower back pain is gone, and I can now really push myself in my workouts. I now continue to see Dr. Martin for preventative care! Thanks!
I would like to thank Dr. Martin and Monica Seabra for helping me with my overall wellness plan. They listen, care and always know the right way to help keep me moving in the best direction for me. Thank you!
What an energizing health acquaintance & experience you will treasure when you visit this office! The easy-going professional demeanor makes it a pleasure and relief as I have experienced for ear (fullness) and sinus challenges. Not only are the adjustments by Dr. Martin both gentle and relieving, the staff goes the extra mile to provide a welcoming & comfortable assurance. I am thankful for this valuable prescription.
I truly believe that my visits every other week are what keeps me healthy and energized. I live a very busy life and staying healthy is important. If I feel a little "something" (cold, sinus) coming on a quick word and visit to Dr. Martin always seems to help. As well, it is always nice to visit such a positive place.
I have benefitted from being a patient of Dr. Martin for a few years. I have experienced vibrant health as a result. My flexibility and activity levels have increased, my previous back issues are resolved and my immune system works very well – cold & flu free for several seasons. I also find that my stress levels are lowered, even though life's stresses are still present. Walking into offices at Martin Wellness is an uplifting experience – the staff and energy in the office is exhilarating. Thank you!
Receiving chiropractic care has absolutely transformed my health and well-being! Before meeting Dr. Martin, I suffered from chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia. A medical professional once told me that I would just have to manage these issues every day for the rest of my life. Not true!
Under the care of Dr. Martin, my pain is significantly lessened, feelings of anxiety and depression are rare, and I no longer require prescriptions. I wish I had known about the understood the benefits of regular adjustments much sooner in life. I now make it a high priority for me and for my children.
Dr. Martin provides exceptional care that is both efficient and compassionate. The moment I walk in the door at Martin Wellness, I feel like the healing has already begun!
I have been working with Melissa for the past several months – she has helped me move forward in a number of area's in my life where I had been feeling stuck for some time. She has a great intuition, asks compelling questions and has helped me self-discover what my next steps need to be. Melissa helps me be accountable to the future vision I have created for my life. Melissa is an empathetic coach with a great sense of humour - I have and will continue to recommend her to friends and colleagues.
Melissa's coaching has empowered me with the tools I needed to achieve balance in my life, personal and professional success and optimal health. People often overlook the importance of accountability and goal setting when it comes to their personal life. I am grateful for the coaching lens that has taught me how to look at my life, prioritize and become the best person I can be. I am finding that as I continue to develop these skill and utilize the tools I have received from my coach, I have far less regrets and am enjoying a full and abundant life. I am truly grateful for Melissa's input and coaching.

Dillard Notable #6 of 2017: The Co-Curricular Signature Programs
We have two very active co-curricular signature programs that both made lots of noise this year. First, our Ray Charles Program in African American Material Culture. While dating back to the late 1990s with our first grant from the Ray Charles Foundation, the program didn't take off until Zella Palmer joined the team in 2014. She has been doing exceptional work since then. This past year alone she played an instrumental role in the documentary about legendary New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

Senegalese chef Pierre Thiam will visit New Orleans from March 24 to 27 to cook West African dishes and tantalize food…
She also partnered with campus offices like the Academic Center for Excellence and the Office of Career and Professional Development to bring local chefs to campus to engage students.
There were several cooking demonstrations, including one by a Nigerian brother-sister combo.
She even found a way to get our legendary physics professor, Dr. Abdalla Darwish, to share some of his culinary wizardry!
Our other program is the Dillard Pre-Law program. While conceptualized in 2010 after Katrina, like the Ray Charles program, it didn't take off until 2015 when Adria Kimbrough started the program. Because of who she is married to, she knew from the beginning that she would have to work twice as hard to establish the program.
History was made as Dillard fielded its first Mock Trial team which competed in February in the regional contest in Jackson, MS. Dillard is only the 5th HBCU with a mock trial team (Howard, Spelman, Mississippi Valley and Harris Stowe), and only the 4th in Louisiana (Tulane, LSU, and ULM). They are coached by prominent New Orleans Judge Kern Reese, who scrimmaged against the students with his team of experienced litigators! (above)
We were fortunate that the team from the Mississippi University for Women agreed to come visit us for another scrimmage.
And out team went to Jackson for the competition. It was great for us to be competing with the likes of Georgia Tech, Florida State University, University of Alabama, University of Mississippi. The Mock Trial Team consisted of seven students at the regional competition: Captains Raven Morris and Kiana Stewart, Sarah Caldwell, Ashlyn Harris, Aria Lowery, Chevel Powell, and Destiny Tucker.

The students bested LSU and University of Louisiana Monroe in a competition designed to stimulate a courtroom…
The team recently participated in a smaller tournament also in Jackson, but this time made some noise.
They also did another scrimmage this time at MUW. There was local press coverage as well. The 2018 tournament will be one to watch.
The program continued to host lots of programs and experiential visits, like the one to see the Chief Judge of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, alumnus Carl Stewart.
As well as continue the substantive, unique programs, like our LSAT test prep program that Dillard students can access for less than $200. In addition, we continued the pre-school admissions workshop where law school recruiters from across the country came to campus to do workshops. This year we opened up the program to students at SUNO and Xavier as there is such a need for a diversity in the legal profession.
Two years of intense activity paid off when we were awarded a two year grant of about $180,000 by the Legal Education Diversity Pipeline Program. As the graphic shows, we are the only HBCU to have received this grant, and the only undergraduate institution to receive this grant (the rest were given to law schools). This grant will also benefit students from SUNO and Xavier as we are taking an Atlanta University Center model in trying to build a diverse legal profession, and we're the only HBCU with a full time advisor (one who is a member of the bar in four states), and we have a robust pre-law program. Sometimes it is better to use the strongest model rather than everyone try to create their own. This can be a great model for collaboration and we're excited about where this will lead.

Q: multinomial MLE error in R I am new to R, Trying do MLE using mle2 in bbmle package.
R Code:
rm(list = ls())
library(bbmle)
N <- 100
testmat=rmultinom(N, size=3, prob = c(0.1,0.2,0.8))
LL<- function(s, p){-sum(dmultinom(x=testmat, size = s, prob=p, log = TRUE))}
values.start <- list(3, c(0.1,0.2,0.7))
names(values.start) <- parnames(LL) <- paste0("b",0:1)
mle2(LL, start =values.start)

I keep getting this error
"Error in mle2(LL, start = values.start) :
  some named arguments in 'start' are not arguments to the specified log-likelihood function"
I am using mle2, I thought its not needed here. At first I was using "mle"
N <- 100
testmat=t(rmultinom(3, size=3, prob = c(0.1,0.2,0.8)))
LL<- function(s, p1,p2,p3){prob=unlist(as.list(environment()))[2:4]
  -sum(dmultinom(x=testmat, size = s, prob=prob, log = TRUE))}
values.start <- list(s=3,p1=0.1,p2=0.2,p3=7)
mle(LL, start =values.start)

which game this error
""Error in dmultinom(x = testmat, size = s, prob = prob, log = TRUE) :
  x[] and prob[] must be equal length vectors."
I even edited it as follows
N <- 100
testmat=t(rmultinom(3, size=3, prob = c(0.1,0.2,0.8)))
LL<- function(s=3, p1=0.1,p2=0.2,p3=0.7){
  prob=unlist(as.list(environment()))[2:4]
  s=unlist(as.list(environment()))[1]
  -sum(dmultinom(x=testmat, size = s, prob=prob, log = TRUE))}
mle(LL)

error still persists. Finally I was able to decode the errors, thanks a lot.
library(bbmle)
N <- 1000
X=rmultinom(N,size=3,prob = rep(1/3, 3))

    LL <- function( p_1 = 0.1,p_2=0.1,p_3=0.8) {
      p <- unlist(as.list(environment()))
    -sum(apply(X, MAR = 2, dmultinom, size = NULL, prob = c(p_1,p_2,p_3), log = TRUE))
    }
    mle(LL,method = "L-BFGS-B", lower = c(-Inf, 0), upper = c(Inf, Inf))

In my current ploblem, I have 5k features, therefore I need to write something like this.
function( p_1 = 0.1,p_2=0.1,p_3=0.8...., p_5000=..)

which not possible. Is there any way out of it?
I was able to do it with mle2. this way
rm(list = ls())
library(bbmle)
N <- 1000
s<-100
X=rmultinom(N,size=s,prob = rep(1/s, s))
LL= function(params){
  p <- unlist(as.list(environment()))
  minusll  = -sum(apply(X, MAR = 2, dmultinom, size = NULL, prob = p, log = TRUE))
  return(minusll)
}
values.start<-vector(mode="list", length=s)
values.start <- c(0.02,0.01*rep(98/99,99))
names(values.start) <- parnames(LL)<-paste0("b",1:s)
mle2(LL, start =values.start,vecpar = TRUE, method = "L-BFGS-B", lower = c(rep(0,s)), upper = c(rep(1,s)))

Above I was doing Multinomial MLE parameter estimation for dimension of 100, and 1000 samples. I was able to solve the problem of vector parameters. Now I am having this error
Error in optim(par = c(0.02, 0.0098989898989899, 0.0098989898989899, 0.0098989898989899,  :
  L-BFGS-B needs finite values of 'fn'

I found out that this error is due to 'fn=Inf', might be due to one of the propabilities becoming zero, therefore fn=-log(0) = Inf. Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks for the help.

Benton Harbor water crisis: Lawsuit accuses Whitmer, others of 'deliberate indifference'
Dave Boucher
Benton Harbor residents are still suffering from the effects of lead-tainted water because of years of "deliberate indifference" from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, state department directors, city leaders and others, according to allegations in a new federal lawsuit that seeks class-action status.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday, stems from the ongoing Benton Harbor water crisis, where lead levels have exceeded state and federal drinking water standards since late 2018. Lead water pipes continue to corrode throughout the low-income southwest Michigan community, sending potentially dangerous particulates into the homes of its mainly Black residents.
"Knowing the high lead levels in the water would result in widespread permanent serious damage in adults, and particularly, the irreversible lead poisoning of children, which adversely affects their cognitive, physical and developmental status; and other vulnerable persons, the Defendants, acting with deliberate indifference, engaged in decision-making that shocks the conscientious. This conduct was culpable in the extreme," the lawsuit states.

More:Neglect, mismanagement, dangerous mistakes doomed Benton Harbor's water
Whitmer and many of the other public officials named in the lawsuit — including the heads of the state health and environment departments — say the state went above and beyond in its response to the crisis. That includes holding multiple public events after first learning of the high lead levels, passing out water filters and more recently bottled water, working with local leaders to reduce lead pipe corrosion and obtaining money to remove the pipes altogether.
"Since the first lead exceedance was detected in 2018, the State of Michigan has been on the ground in Benton Harbor working with local partners on a solution to address the aging infrastructure," Whitmer spokesman Bobby Leddy said in a statement.
"In accordance with the state's strict Lead and Copper Rule, the state began urging the city to immediately conduct outreach to residents and ordered the city to apply corrosion control to try to bring down the levels and stabilize the drinking water."
Benton Harbor Mayor Marcus Muhammad, also named in the lawsuit, declined to comment. He has repeatedly said his city lacks the money to fix the water problems.
The crisis gained widespread attention earlier this fall after residents and activists filed a petition with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, asking it to intervene in the city because state and local leaders were failing to fix the problem.
After the petition, Whitmer's administration ramped up its efforts in the city. Those included a promise to remove all of the city's lead water lines within 18 months. The state health department also started passing out bottled water. It did so in light of questions about the efficacy of water filters, posed both by local residents and because of a 2020 study from Newark, New Jersey, that found some filters in that community did not removal all lead from drinking water.
The lawsuit, which echoes many of the findings from this petition, seeks class action status. If a judge grants this request, essentially every Benton Harbor resident would be eligible to receive money if those who brought the lawsuit win.
On Wednesday, a federal judge gave final approval to a $626.25-million settlement of civil claims against the state of Michigan and a handful of other parties resulting from the lead poisoning of Flint's drinking water, in what is one of the largest civil settlements in state history.
The settlement is still only considered a partial settlement of civil claims. That is because some defendants, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, are not part of the settlement.

There is no safe amount of lead in drinking water, and it has been linked to an array of negative health effects. Many of the 16 people who filed the lawsuit say they are suffering from symptoms that could be tied to lead consumption.
Donna Braziel is a lifelong Benton Harbor resident, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit states Braziel and others were not made aware until this fall that they should not drink the tap water.
"At no time prior to late October 2021 was Plaintiff Braziel ever notified by any of the Defendants that the water she used was unsafe to drink or utilize in food preparation and oral hygiene. Plaintiff's minor grandson, born on June 15, 2021, was fed his formula with tap water," the lawsuit states.
A recent report from state and federal regulators found Benton Harbor officials regularly failed to notify people that the crisis persisted.
"The (city) did not contact public and private hospitals, pediatricians, family planning clinics, community centers or adult foster care facilities in the 12-month period between August 2020 and August 2021," the report states.
It also failed to include notifications with customer water bills during the same period.
Lisel Eichler Clark, director of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy, sent a letter to state senators earlier this month. In the letter, she listed some of the steps taken to inform residents, including an in-person town hall in 2019, a virtual meeting in 2020 and the creation of a Benton Harbor Water Outreach Task Force in February 2020.
"Despite this significant communication over the past three years, however, I know firsthand from recent visits with residents at water distribution sites and other venues that the desired information has not fully reached and connected with many Benton Harbor residents," Clark said in the letter.
"This gap should serve as an important point of reflection and discussion for officials and stakeholders at all levels of government."

More:EPA orders Benton Harbor take 'immediate actions' to fix lead-tainted drinking water
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Elizabeth Hertel recently told the Free Press the state decided to pass out bottled water in light of a handful of very high lead water test results.
The state estimates it will take $30 million and 18 months to remove the old lead lines. Construction crews started removing some of those lines this week, paid for by a $5.6 million grant provided by the EPA last year.
Named defendants in the lawsuit include:
Hertel
Robert Gordon, the former director of the state health department
Eric Oswald, director of EGLE's Drinking Water and Environmental Health Division
Michael O'Malley, former Benton Harbor water system leader
Darwin Watson, a Benton Harbor city official
Ellis Mitchell, a Benton Harbor city official
Elhorn Engineering Company, a firm working with Benton Harbor
F&V Operations and Resource Management, the private company that now runs the Benton Harbor water treatment facility

CHI Saint Joseph Health Inspires Creativity With "Chalk It Up to Humankindness" Initiative
Posted in: Saint Joseph Berea , Saint Joseph Hospital , Saint Joseph London , Press Releases , Flaget Memorial Hospital , Saint Joseph Jessamine , Saint Joseph East , Saint Joseph Mount Sterling
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Aug. 31, 2021) – CHI Saint Joseph Health is helping spread humankindness and creativity through a chalk art challenge, aiming to paint local communities with positivity. The "Chalk It Up to Humankindness'' event, which began internally as an opportunity for employees and their families to share images and words of kindness, especially during a time of significant stress with the ongoing pandemic. The promotion was so well received that is has now transformed into a community-wide initiative. The event will run from Sept. 7-Oct. 4 and three winners will be selected each week.
"The Hello humankindness messaging campaign has been so popular among the communities we serve that we wanted to extend the opportunity for everyone to share their interpretation of what kindness means to them," said Jeff Murphy, vice president, marketing/communications. "The past 17 months have been very difficult for everyone, and this is a way to visually illustrate appreciation for each other."
To enter, participants will select their canvas of choice, such as a sidewalk, driveway or asphalt surface, to sketch an uplifting message or a comforting image illustrating what "humankindness" means to them. When the artwork is completed, participants can submit their entry on CHI Saint Joseph Health's Facebook page under the tab titled, "Chalk It Up to Humankindness."
Each week, three lucky winners will be randomly selected and will win a "Hello, humankindness" cooler.
This campaign is part of CHI Saint Joseph Health's "A Year of Humankindness" initiative announced in January. As part of this initiative, CHI Saint Joseph Health is finding creative ways to celebrate humankindness in its facilities, as well as in local communities.
