What Women (Presidents) Want
WASHINGTON — Twenty-three percent of college presidents in the United States are female. A group of four influential female presidents gathered at the National Archives here Thursday evening and argued that this percentage should be much higher, so as to mirror the majority female student population in higher education.
The presidents — H. Kim Bottomly of Wellesley College, Catharine Bond Hill of Vassar College, S. Georgia Nugent of Kenyon College and Teresa A. Sullivan of the University of Virginia — spoke on a panel about "the changing roles of women in academic leadership" for the Archives' 4th Annual Forum on Women in Leadership. All concurred with the notion that the percentage of female presidents should match the percentage of female students in higher education.
"Faculty, administration and staff levels should represent what the student body looks like," Bottomly said. "If 57 percent of the student bodies are women, then there ought to be female faculty members equivalent to that…. That should be true for men and women of color, too."
Of the 2148 institutions of higher education in the United States, only 494 have female presidents, noted Donne G. Kampel, panel moderator and associate dean of faculty at Touro College, in New York City. Earlier this month, she published Learning Leaderships: Women Presidents of Colleges and Universities (Lambert Academic Publishing). Kampel also noted that, of all the institutional classifications in higher education, community colleges have the highest share of female presidents, at 29 percent.
All of the presidents agreed that there are still barriers that keep women from presidencies.
Bottomly explained that the traditional "pipeline" for academic leaders comes from the faculty ranks. She went on to argue that, though there has been some progress in getting women into the faculty ranks, presidents and provosts need to take a more "active" role in looking for the female administrative "stars" and "talent" of tomorrow. Simply having more women in the faculty ranks is not enough, she added.
Nugent explained that the term "glass ceiling," which people often apply to the nebulous barrier keeping many women from leadership positions, does not quite apply to higher education.
"In higher education, we have the starry emporium," Nugent said. "The presidents of Harvard, Brown and Penn are all women. That's very visible, and it gives a mistaken impression of the progress women have made in higher education."
The presidents all hesitated when asked about the specific obstacles they faced on the way to the presidency. They chose, instead, to offer some advice to any women seeking a future in academic leadership.
"You can't be someone who dwells on those things," said Nugent, referring to an instance when, as a faculty member at Brown, she took offense when a male colleague asked her, one of the few women present, to take minutes at a meeting.
Bottomly and Hill suggested that women seek out leadership roles on powerful committees and not simply on ones where their membership is sought out.
"Go out and search for them," Hill said. "Say 'no' to the ones you think are pushing you in a direction you don't want to go…. Be on the finance committee. Don't be on the — this is going to sound awful but — childcare committee.… You have to be willing to take on things and be risk-seeking in a kind of way."
The 200-seat theater at the Archives was nearly full for the event, and an audience of mostly young women (including many alumnae of the four institutions represented) sought more advice from the presidents afterward in a question-and-answer session.
Sullivan, who is still in the first year of her presidency, offered some of the most direct advice of the evening to would-be female presidents: have the last word.
"If any of you have read Deborah Tannen, then you know that men interrupt women a lot," said Sullivan, referencing the Georgetown University linguistics professor's work, including the best-selling You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation (Harper Paperbacks). "You have to have the sound bite at the end of the conversation. You have to say things succinctly."

It has also announced that there will be no change to the firm's approach to MVRs although this is reviewed regularly in the light of emerging market conditions.
Prudential chief actuary David Belsham says: "Today's change reflects the consistent way in which we have managed the Fund to ensure a fair approach to the setting of bonus rates. In an environment where markets have fallen significantly, our policyholders have benefited from the downside protection provided by our Fund. This demonstrates the benefit of being invested in Prudential's strong with-profits fund which is supported by an inherited estate of £6.2bn as at September 30".
He adds that the move is prudent and will ensure the continuing long-term strength of the Fund and protect the ongoing interests of Prudential's long-term customers.

I don't like to consider myself as a 'music hipster' but I rarely find myself enjoying the songs in the charts. I'll often look to see if I do but it's just not my kind of music. As I'm half Swedish, I figured that I'd look at what tracks people listen to in Sweden to vary my ongoing search for good music.
5. Danny Saucedo- Snacket på stan
Kicking off the top 5 is this pretty original track from Danny Saucedo, who rose to fame through the TV show Idol (similar to X Factor). There is definite influences from Earth Wind and Fire with the instrumentals, very groovy. I won't pretend to understand the lyrics but Danny clearly has a solid singing voice which I have enjoyed listening to. A nice and simple pop track that I can completely understand making it's way into the top 5.
4. The Weekend feat. Daft Punk- Starboy
I'll be brutally honest and say that I'm not a fan of this song at all. It falls solidly into the 'club song' genre and though I've tried to like songs similar to this, they've never done it for me. The vocals and instrumental are clearly well made but I just didn't enjoy the track but given the 1.6 million YouTube views I think at least a few other people do.
3.The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey- Closer
Still holding a spot in the top despite coming out in July, this is a track that I was actually pretty familiar with. However, this doesn't mean that I enjoyed the music. As with most songs it was heavily reliant on an electronic bass-line which shouldn't mean the song is by default a bad track, but the unimaginative lyrics made it into a pretty mediocre bit of music.
2. Jill Johnson- Open Your Heart
I was pretty shocked at the quality of Open Your Heart. The lyrics aren't anything special but Johnson brings some fantastic vocal power to a song that otherwise wouldn't be that great. I was pleasantly surprised with Open Your Heart and I'm actually considering buying it.
1. James Arthur- Say You Won't Let Go
This is definitively my favourite track out of the top 5. James Arthur has a great set of vocals which is paired with a pretty catchy acoustic guitar backing. The lyrics have plenty of emotion in them and as with Open Your Heart, I can also see myself buying this pretty catchy tune.
Overall I was pretty impressed with Sweden's top 5. I was expecting the usual rubbish that we get in the UK but I came across a handful of songs that I mostly liked and would quite happily listen to again. In future I might look into other countries top tracks to see what is trending elsewhere in the world.

The Key Elements of Great Businesses
Things to Look for in a Pest Control Company
1. Kinds of pests. Keep in mind that pests have various forms. There are ants, fleas, cockroaches, rodents, ticks, and termites. There are are a whole heap of pest control companies in the market who cover these pests. On the other hand, a couple of them specialize in certain types particularly the extermination of the termites.
2. Certification and insurance. And this is by far the most vital factor that you should take into account as you search for a pest control company. All of the states certain require the pest control companies to have a work license which is granted after assessing their certification. You should be certain that the work license of the technicians and the certification of the company are current. And also, it is in your best interest to pick a company that has an insurance. This will surely cover all of the damages you have in your property in the event in will happen during the process. And also, this will lessen your accountability to the employee in the event he obtained injuries in your premises.
3. Solutions and chemicals. The pest control companies take advantage of chemical concentrates in your property so as to kill the pests around your home. In general, most of them are human-friendly, but then again, there are a number of people who get affected by these chemicals. And these include the pets and children, those who have allergies or sensitivities, and people who are having respiratory problems such as asthma. And you can ask the pest control company if any of these companies will be utilized in your home.
4. Add-on services. Without question, both the rodents and pests can bring damages to the structure of your home. A great deal of pest control companies provide remediation like lining the entry and exit points as well as sealing the cracks. At times, it is in the services as the goal is to take away all the pests and brace your home against another invasion of pests.
5. Additional applications. In general, the pest control companies will make sure that all pests are exterminated so that they will not breed in your home again. But then again, keep in mind that the living condition you have now will also determine whether the pests will go back to your home or not. For this reason, it is recommended that you treat your house yearly. In addition, you can even schedule at least once a month or once every four months, whatever is feasible in your budget.

Do Pheromone Work. Euphoria Pheromones for Retarded Lovers,

Do Pheromone Work. Euphoria Pheromones for Retarded Lovers,
Do Pheromone WorkTo get one's attention "Love beget love" formula is now being assumed to be one of the slowest techniques in the doctrine of modern lovers . This ancient but effective formula has now been retarded and lost its human attraction through pheromone and remained nothing more than an old fashioned, stereotyped and inferior quotation in the evenings of today's lovers.
Was Talking about the Dilemma of Modern Lovers Let It be Discussed in Some DetailWhat this dilemma is? actually this double sided confusion starts with the choice of better alternative, either pheromones should be added in the form of colognes or perfumes or should it be digested to evaporate out of human body. Well the choice rest with the lovers how far or at what level or degree they are willing to accept the risks to their lives. Rational decision is almost obvious and practical. One should not start gorging pills etc to generate pheromones when pheromones may suitably be added to the body in the form of perfumes or colognes to achieve the desired results.A little care is obviously needed if one is using pheromones in the form of colognes or perfumes try to avoid the places where you may come in close contact with the greater environmental pollutions, heavy presence of smokes, deodorant, antiperspirants etc which badly destroys pheromones, of course, a lover must do this little precaution, at least to get attention of his or her lover, as being a great modern lover! Whenever one reads any reading matter, it is vital that the person enjoys reading it. One should grasp the meaning of the matter, only then can it be considered that the reading is complete. .
Human behavior changes dramatically under the influence of particular chemical additives(pheromones), Male attraction towards a female and Female attraction towards male has been proved to be the derivative of a Pheromone chemical which is produced in the body of human and is scientifically named as "Pheromones" . The Pheromones transmits signals which are immediately detected by the counterpart and responded positively and unknowingly. One who is under influence will not be able to identify or distinguish a little to the fact that he is responding to pheromones interactions. Thinking of life athena pheromone for teens to be impossible to imagine. This is because Pheromones can be applied in all situations of life.
Here as a bonus to the male readers of my article I tell some signs which a woman shows through her body language and are most common and obvious signs that a woman is interested in a man-anonymous. Just as a book shouldn't be judged by its cover, we wish you read this entire article on Pheromones before actually making a judgement about Pheromones.

She Changes postures to alert stance. She turns body towards you. She Tilts head toward you. She Touches you. She Dangles shoes (Be careful shoes may also fly sometimes....). life is short. Use it to its maximum by utilizing whatever knowledge it offers for knowledge is important for all walks of life. Even the crooks have to be intelligent!
This fact has in fact an astonishing background which tells us some proven deep roots already built in by the nature in the human model. The dilemma of eastern oregon university now to exploit these modern inventions to their optimum benefit. To impress others is the strongest desire fit in or intrinsic in the human model from its birth and will remain active till the end of his life. These attracting chemicals are constantly being prepared and sold in the open market in large quantities under various brand names (Euphoria pheromone perfume or Euphoria pheromone colognes) . As far as I know one of the sources of it is Given here if you like to see for yourself. These Pheromones chemicals are tested and proven for the best results and are available at nominal prices at this site. In my opinion are the most effective and results oriented. We have tried to place the best definition about Pheromones in this article. This has taken a lot of time, but we only wish that the definition we gave suits your needs.
Pheromones are chemicals released in a variety of ways by animals to communicate something to other animals of the same species. This message may be, "I'm ready to mate," or "Stay away from my territory," or "Watch out, there is a predator near by." All animals from small insects to large fish seem to have the ability to produce and perceive these powerful chemical messengers.
Available in both scented and unscented varieties, pheromone oil is a popular choice among singles looking for an extra edge in the dating game and among couples to add some spice to their love life. You can find pheromone oil and related products online and in specialty stores.
Like any product, be sure to check the background of the company so you don't just get a fancy smelling massage lotion that doesn't have a trace of synthesized pheromones.
Humans, Pheromones are Controversial in Scientific CirclesSome claim that humans no longer have the need or capacity to detect pheromones while others say that humans do detect and are affected by pheromones in many powerful ways. For instance, it has been shown that human females will respond to the continual art institute of houston males by an increase in fertility and regulation of their menstrual cycle.
Pheromones can be Synthesized and Made Into Pheromone Oil that can be Topically AppliedThese oils are sold by companies claiming that they will help you seem more attractive to members of the opposite sex, more respected by members of the same sex, calmer or happier. One scientific study showed that users of pheromone oils experienced a 50-70% over base increase in sociosexual behavior when using the human "sex pheromones," androstenedione and estratetraenol. Though these claims are still in dispute in academic worlds, some consumers claim that pheromone product can and do work.

20 more days! and year 6 is done! amazing. I used to do these blogs every single day for almost the first 4 years, now, once a month or so,,

so,, how many of you have gotten either a Z6 or a Z7,

Really getting into the Groove of the Z7, after now 6 weeks, I must say I am totally happy with the Z7, and soon the Z6 is coming out rounding
out the Nikon Mirrorless family. So anybody holding back don't fret, either of these cameras can meet your needs.
Perhaps one of the stand out differences between Nikon and its competitors,

Over 3 weeks now with the Z7, and how is it doing, ... fantastic, No regrets getting rid of the Sony Gear, as Nikon
has gotten most of this mirrorless right. The camera is way lighter then the heavy Nikon SLRs, but still a nice
heft to let you know you have Nikon.
The grip and use of the camera is very natural. I really like

Yup, picked up the the Z7 on Friday. first impression, exactly as expected. First, it is a hefty camera, feels almost
heavier then my DF but more compact. I got the 35 mm Z lens, and the lens is huge for a 1.8. and fairly
heavy. What strikes me about the lens, that if I did not know, would have thought it as a Fuji lens, even
0 Thanks/Like
well, just sold 3 cameras, 5 lens, and a tripod, so the selling phase is done, I managed to pay off a big chunk of the initial
purchase. Next step, I put in the pre-order for the 35 prime. That was a big decision. it is not a cheap lens, and I chose
not to bundle, well, because if I did, it could be weeks/months until one gets the lens.
0 Thanks/Like
One interesting tidbit is that Nikon chose to produce the Z7 in Japan instead of Thailand, Very nice to see production still in Japan, Perhaps they wanted quality control and supply chain much closer to their home. I just ordered a 64G XQD card, to keep up with its buffer speeds. Might as well keep it up to snuff if you are already investing so much

Today is a momentous day! YIPPEE!!!! the mirrorless is here!!!!
ok, i am excited, How excited????? I was the first of a major camera store, to have my pre-order in! Years ago

Here is our betting preview as Houston Dynamo FC welcome Philadelphia Union on 3rd/07/2016 to the BBVA Compass Stadium. We will bring you all the latest team news along with the match stats and bet predictions. Houston Dynamo FC threw away a two-goal lead as they were handed a defeat by Portland Timbers. Philadelphia Union lost their ten games unbeaten run at the hands of Vancouver Whitecaps as the visitors beat them 3-2.
Houston Dynamo will be very upset having thrown away what looked like a comfortable two goal lead against Portland Timbers. Andrew Wenger gave Houston the lead in the twenty-eight minute and just two minutes later Will Bruin doubled their advantage as he hit home from a Boniek Garcia assist. However, the second have was all one-way traffic as Portland Timbers hit three past Houston. Lucas Melano scored in the sixty-fourth minute, and Diego Valeri levelled the game in the eighty-second minute to the despair of all the Houston supporters. It was Diego Valeri who had the last say as he snatched all three points available in added time from the Penalty Spot. Houston now faces high flyers Philadelphia Union, a game they know will push them to the limit. Houston lost their last fixture 2-0 and knew they would have to be on top of their game if they are to gain anything from this fixture.
Table toppers Philadelphia Union didn't have enough in their tank to defeat Vancouver Whitecaps and kiss goodbye to their ten-game run without defeat. Roland Alberg gave Philadelphia the lead, but it was short lived. Andrew Jacobson levelled the game for Vancouver and then before half time Kekuta Manneh gave Vancouver the lead in the forty-first minute. Christian Bolanos made it three for Vancouver in the eighty-fourth minute and looked to have put the game to bed. Philadelphia did give themselves hope as Chris Pontius scored deep into added time, but it wasn't to be, and Philadelphia's great unbeaten run came to an end. Now Philadelphia needs to win to reassure themselves this defeat isn't the start of things to come.

Bel Trew, Cairo
In Libya's lawless south the sight of Abdul Salam al-Busayri running down the desert road began to draw a crowd. Locals who had fled their homes to avoid fighting were too afraid to return home, until Mr Busayri, who had covered 90 miles on an unorthodox peace mission, jogged into their lives.
As he ran, some began to go with him, others followed in their cars. It was the start of his extraordinary peace marathons, which have caught the popular imagination. "They feared the war was going to start again. When they saw me running on my own, it convinced many the area was safe," he told The Times.
That was in 2015, when that area was a battleground. His uncle had been killed in crossfire, the fourth member of his family to die since the 2011 uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi.
Heartbroken, Mr Busayri decided to do something. "I got the idea that running could help people stop fighting and instead sit down and talk. I planned to run between the warring sides and talk to leaders of both and encourage people to go home. They had a huge reception for me on both sides. Both loved the initiative. I convinced them to talk to each other."
Since then Mr Busayri, 30, from Qaraqra, a town 90 miles east of Sabha, has clocked up more than 1,000 miles running ultra-marathons through Libya's conflict zones. This year alone he has run nearly 680 miles. He often crosses frontlines to talk with leaders from the warring factions to spread his message of peace. He carries a flag emblazoned with his catchphrase: "We embrace and reconcile with each other."

June 13, 2008Malformed Phish, or Cracked Web Site? [Updated]
Every once in awhile, something comes in over the transom that causes me to get a cardio workout even though I'm still sitting on my butt. It gets my blood flowing and puts all my sensors on high alert.
Such was the case today when I received what looked like a typical PayPal phishing message. This one was of the oft-used variety that claimed someone had just sent me a couple hundred bucks, and I could click the image link to view the details of the transaction. The usual deal here is that the link is to some other site, either a freshly-minted one or one hijacked from an established domain and server. They're after my login ID and password. Plus, it's Phriday, so that's what I expected.
As is my usual modus operandi, I checked the URL of the actual link in the message's source code before doing anything. To my amazement, the linked URL was to the real PayPal domain, complete with SSL protocol (https). The only thing that differed from the plain
https://www.paypal.com address was the addition of a forward slash and a two-character subdirectory name—which I won't mention here. There were none of the URL spoofing tricks that I've seen in the past, such as the one whereby the URL is intentionally malformed so that the URL that gets linked to is hidden further down to the right of a long URL.
The message was definitely a phishing message. It did not originate from a PayPal server; the text began "Dear Member;" it was addressed to an address that is different from my PayPal login address; and there was no reason for some fellow in Canada I didn't recognize by name or email address to be sending me two hundred dollars. For the record, here's the body text of the message:
You've got new funds! Dear Member,
Robert Cooper just sent you money with PayPal.
Robert Cooper is a Verified buyer.
Payment Details
Amount: $200.00 USD
Transaction ID: 2XC29017VB4724053
As I recommend to anyone receiving an unexpected message about a financial-related account, I logged into my PayPal account via the bookmark I've used for years—just to see what the account says about the matter. Needless to say, there was no payment to me for $200.00. Simply confirming my assumption.
I was, however, curious about that link. Would it, ultimately, take me to PayPal?
I clicked it. (gasp)
To my amazement, the link not only took me to a real PayPal SSL URL, but the page even read my PayPal cookie to insert my actual PayPal login email address into the login form, just like the main PayPal page does. The Address bar showed the same URL I had seen in the email message—the real PayPal domain plus the two-character subdirectory.
At this point, I thought of those scary movies where the terrified heroine has the cops trace phone calls that have frightened her all night...and they tell her, "The calls are coming from inside the house!" Had someone inside or outside of PayPal embedded a phishing page within the PayPal servers? If so, had I just revealed my login email address to a crook (via the cookie), who could then try brute force password attacks to attempt to access my account?
I thought I should at least bring these possibilities to PayPal's attention as quickly as possible. I've ranted before about trying to convey what might be vital security information to a large company, and this effort was no less satisfactory. The frustration of dealing with customer support reps from the other side of the planet who are schooled in appeasing customers with insincere sympathy and supplying stock answers to questions I didn't ask only infuriated me even more. A supervisor did more of the same, but with less of an accent. I really don't need to hear the basics of Phishing 101. All I wanted was for this information to get to the right security people within the company as quickly as possible. If their systems had been compromised, you'd think they'd want to know about it pronto. The only thing I know for sure as the result of my phone call is that my suspicions were marked on my account record. B.F.D.
It has been about five hours since my report (and forward to PayPal's Spoof Department). Using a non-cookie-propagating way to check the URL, the page is still active. I find it hard to believe that PayPal—assuming the security folks have heard about it by now—would let an alleged compromise of this scale go unabated. Perhaps that URL is to a genuine PayPal login page—some kind of alternate page with a specific, legitimate purpose in mind. This would mean that the phisher screwed up by not entering a URL of a crooked site (it is unlucky Friday the 13th, after all). But then, again, why would the URL placeholder have the alternate PayPal URL in it, and not the regular plain URL? And how did the phisher know about this alternate login page?
Or was this message a one-off, instigated by my doctor to get my heart a-pumpin'?
Too many questions. Not enough answers.
UPDATE (14June2008, 0900PDT): Overnight I received another "Robert Cooper" PayPal phishing message. The link on this one was to a hijacked web site in the UK, which, in turn, redirected to the actual phishing page in a hijacked Spanish physician's web site. This is pointing more and more to a case of a malformed phishing message for the one that rang alarm bells here yesterday. I'd still like to know what that alternate PayPal login page is all about, just to settle my curiosity. In the meantime, I feel better about the integrity of that PayPal page.Posted on June 13, 2008 at 04:38 PM

Dates and times for the next two journeys
Get in touch if you would like to join me.
Monday 8th June 10am til 12.30pm
Tuesday 9th June 2pm til 4.30pm
The woods are green caves of delight, waiting to be explored and reveal more of you to your wonderful selves.
While walking in them today i was thinking about letting go of patterns of behavior and how it seems endless, chipping away, at times. then i looked to these standing dead trees and saw the chipping there at their base and thought how, just suddenly, one day they will fall and never get up again, just as these modes of being that no longer serve our highest good will drop away and dissolve into the earth to nourish the new.

hi everyone,
i would like to produce a table summery that gives the mode of a variable for each category of another variable.
ideally, this would work:
dt = open ("$SAMPLE_DATA/Mail Messages.jmp");
dt << summary ( Group ( :From ), Mode (:To) );
alternatively, i would stack the table by "From" and calculate the mode at each row. yet, "Mode" is not an option in Table summary or column formula.
any ideas calculating the mode are welcome including in sending to SAS.
i am using JMP 10.
thank you,
Thank you Brady,
This is by far the most parsimonious and robust script.
I would like to add one optional line of code to disable the possibility of missing values as the mode:
dt = open ("$SAMPLE_DATA\Cars.jmp");
dt2 = dt << summary(group(:Make, :R Leg));
// option to disable the possibility of missing values as modes
dt2 << Select Where ( IsMissing (:R Leg)) << Delete Rows;
dt2 << selectwhere(colmaximum(:n rows, :make) != :n rows) << Delete Rows;
Hi - the mode is the most common item, so you're after the person (or presumably persons if there's a tie) who received the most number of letters from each sender, is that right? If so, I think the following ought to do it, although I've no doubt there's a much more elegant and/or shorter way. I've deliberately left all the intermediate calculations, and named all the tables to leave an audit trail:
dt1 = open ("$SAMPLE_DATA/Mail Messages.jmp");
dt1 << set name("dt1");
dt2 = dt1 << Summary( Group( :From ), N, Subgroup( :To ) );
dt2 << set name("dt2");
Sent_From = (dt2 << get column names);
// Throw away the first two elements of this list;
remove from(Sent_From, {1, 2});
// Stack them up;
dt3 = dt2 << Stack(columns(eval(Sent_From)), Source Label Column( "Label" ), Stacked Data Column( "Data" ));
dt3 << set name("dt3");
// dt3 now contains the number of letters sent from each person to each recipient;
dt4 = dt3 << Summary( Group( :From ), Max( :Data ) );
dt4 << set name("dt4");
// dt4 now contains the maximum number of letters sent from each person to any one recipient;
dt5 = dt4 << Join( With( dt3 ),
SelectWith(:From, :Label, :Data ),
By Matching Columns( :From = :From, :Name( "Max(Data)" ) = :Data ),
Drop multiples( 0, 0 ),
Name("Include non-matches" )(0, 0),
Preserve main table order( 1 )
dt5 << set name("dt5");
column(dt5, "Label") << set name("Recipient");
dt5 should now contain the maximum number of letters sent from each person to anyone recipient
and the name of that recipient (or recipients in the event of a tie)
That should give you that Ann sent 4 letters to Michael, Jeff sent 7 letters to Michael, John sent 12 letters to Michael, Katherine sent 12 letters to John and so on. Would you like to try that out and see if it does what you need? To get the maximum number of letters received by any recipient from any one sender, just swap over the :To and :From columns.
Thank you Dodo,
it works fine.
hi Dodo and all,
Dodo's solution is technically correct but is not useful when dealing with big data.
thinking it over i have an alternative solution which is scalable.
dt1 = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Mail Messages.jmp" );
dt1 << set name( "dt1" );
// produce a distribution of revcivers by senders
dt1 << New Script( "Distribution", Distribution( Nominal Distribution( Column( :To ) ), By( :From ) ) );
Dist = Dt1 << Run Script( "Distribution" );
// extract the frequency tables as one data table.
dt2 = Report( dist[1] )["Frequencies"][Table Box( 1 )] << Make Combined Data Table;
dt2 << set name( "dt2" );
dist << close window;
// remove the "Total" rows from the data table - they do not represent relevant Frequencies
selection = dt2 << Select Where( :Level == "Total" );
selection << Delete Rows;
// summarize to get the mode "To" for each "From"
dt3 = Data Table( "dt2" ) << Summary( Group( :From ), Max( :Count ), statistics column name format( "column" ), Link to original data table( 0 ) );
dt3 << Set Name( "Mode" );
// update the summary table to get the values of "To"
dt3 << Update( With( Data Table( "dt2" ) ), Match Columns( :From = :From, :Count = :Count ), Add Columns from Update table( :Level ) );
dt2 << close window;
Column( dt3, "Level" ) << Set Name( "Mode" );
There are often several ways to perform a task in JMP. I just recalled a function I wrote some time ago that's quite efficient for finding the most common item grouped by one a or more columns. I share it here as an alternative to the above approaches. The result is similar to Dodo's, i.e. all "tied" modes are returned, not only the last as in Ron's approach using update().
mode_by_groups = Function( {collist}, // list of column names
// Find mode of last column in collist
Summarize( g = by( Eval( collist ) ), n = Count() );
X = Design( g[1] ) :* n;
i = Loc( V Max( Transpose( X == Repeat( V Max( X ), N Row( n ) ) ) ) );
//Add grouping columns to new table
dt1 = New Table( "modes" );
For( k = 1, k <= N Items( collist ) - 1, k++,
dt1 << (New Column( char(collist[k]), Character, set values( g[k][i] ) ));
//Add Mode and N
dt1 << New Column( "Mode of " || char(collist[k]), Character, set values( g[k][i] ) );
dt1 << New Column( "N", set values( n[i] ) );
Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Mail Messages.jmp" );
mode_by_groups( {From, To} );
Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Consumer Preferences.jmp" );
mode_by_groups( {Gender, Single Status, Birth Year} );
Thank you very much.
dealing with the mode i came across two issues that look like faults of the JMP program.
1. if there is only one observation the distribution platform does not provide a mode at all. Furthermore, in case of tied frequency of 1 nothing is returned either. this means that the definition in the help file is incorrect when it clams to bring the lower value among the most frequent.
2. when producing a Frequencies table for the column width is long (i.e. 12) making a data table does not allow for recovering the whole number. for some reason it produces a text string of the abbreviated number.
Not sure if this is helpful but on the JMP File Exchange Brady Brady has posted an add-in that gives extended summary statistics capability including the Mode.
Thank you LouV
this is defiantly useful yet not perfect.
Brady's Add-in is only accessible by the GUI and not by script - if it is please let me know.
the N Rows column that shows up is the number of occurrences in each Group and not the frequency of the mode itself. further more i didn't see built in option to get that frequency - if there is please let me know.
otherwise it is powerful and scalable. Brady's add-in aught to be part of the program and not a patch.
Hi Ron,
I believe that the reason JMP reports no mode when a) only one observation exists and 2) when all observations occur only once is that each of these is consistent with the way the mode is defined in many textbooks. i.e., if no element appears more than once, no mode exists.
Thank you very much MS. it is very useful.
This way is actually more "honest" than other alternatives mentioned in this discussion since it also assesses the frequency of missing data. for example, running the following script returns some missing values as the mode.
dt = open ("$SAMPLE_DATA\Cars.jmp");
mode_by_groups = Function( {collist}, // list of column names
// Find mode of last column in collist
Summarize( g = by( Eval( collist ) ), n = Count() );
X = Design( g[1] ) :* n;
i = Loc( V Max( Transpose( X == Repeat( V Max( X ), N Row( n ) ) ) ) );
//Add grouping columns to new table
dt11 = New Table( "modes" );
For( k = 1, k <= N Items( collist ) - 1, k++,
dt11 << (New Column( char(collist
//Add Mode and N
dt11 << New Column( "Mode of " || char(collist
dt11 << New Column( "N", set values( n ) );
mode_by_groups( {Make , R Leg } );

A place of writing and reflection…
But my mouth would encourage you; comfort from my lips would bring you relief.
—Job 16:5
So far 2014 has brought with it a slew of various problems and on going tragedies.
"If only…," seems to be a prominent question.
Even more so is the question of, "Why God?"
"Why did it have to be him? Why now?" "Why did his life have to end this way?" "Why do I have to suffer like this?" "Do I really have to run for my life from these people?"
This is a hefty question and more so difficult to answer.
Yes, we live in an imperfect world. We don't have to look far to see that. News reports are full of it daily. We see good fall on the bad and good. We also see the same for the bad.
The Bible reminds us:
"…for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."
—Matthew 5:45b
Still the question of "Why" lingers.
Maureen Dowd of the New York Times wrote the article "Why God?" December 25, 2012, just after the Newtown tragedy. She writes:
When my friend Robin was dying, she asked me if I knew a priest she could talk to who would not be, as she put it, "too judgmental." I knew the perfect man, a friend of our family, a priest conjured up out of an old black-and-white movie, the type who seemed not to exist anymore in a Catholic Church roiled by scandal. Like Father Chuck O'Malley, the New York inner-city priest played by Bing Crosby, Father Kevin O'Neil sings like an angel and plays the piano; he's handsome, kind and funny. Most important, he has a gift. He can lighten the darkness around the dying and those close to them. When he held my unconscious brother's hand in the hospital, the doctors were amazed that Michael's blood pressure would noticeably drop. The only problem was Father Kevin's reluctance to minister to the dying. It tears at him too much. He did it, though, and he and Robin became quite close. Years later, he still keeps a picture of her in his office. As we've seen during this tear-soaked Christmas, death takes no holiday. I asked Father Kevin, who feels the subject so deeply, if he could offer a meditation. This is what he wrote:
How does one celebrate Christmas with the fresh memory of 20 children and 7 adults ruthlessly murdered in Newtown; with the searing image from Webster of firemen rushing to save lives ensnared in a burning house by a maniac who wrote that his favorite activity was "killing people"? How can we celebrate the love of a God become flesh when God doesn't seem to do the loving thing? If we believe, as we do, that God is all-powerful and all-knowing, why doesn't He use this knowledge and power for good in the face of the evils that touch our lives?
The killings on the cusp of Christmas in quiet, little East Coast towns stirred a 30-year-old memory from my first months as a priest in parish ministry in Boston. I was awakened during the night and called to Brigham and Women's Hospital because a girl of 3 had died. The family was from Peru. My Spanish was passable at best. When I arrived, the little girl's mother was holding her lifeless body and family members encircled her.
They looked to me as I entered. Truth be told, it was the last place I wanted to be. To parents who had just lost their child, I didn't have any words, in English or Spanish, that wouldn't seem cheap, empty. But I stayed. I prayed. I sat with them until after sunrise, sometimes in silence, sometimes speaking, to let them know that they were not alone in their suffering and grief. The question in their hearts then, as it is in so many hearts these days, is "Why?"
The truest answer is: I don't know. I have theological training to help me to offer some way to account for the unexplainable. But the questions linger. I remember visiting a dear friend hours before her death and reminding her that death is not the end, that we believe in the Resurrection. I asked her, "Are you there yet?" She replied, "I go back and forth." There was nothing I wanted more than to bring out a bag of proof and say, "See? You can be absolutely confident now." But there is no absolute bag of proof. I just stayed with her. A life of faith is often lived "back and forth" by believers and those who minister to them.
Implicit here is the question of how we look to God to act and to enter our lives. For whatever reason, certainly foreign to most of us, God has chosen to enter the world today through others, through us. We have stories of miraculous interventions, lightning-bolt moments, but far more often the God of unconditional love comes to us in human form, just as God did over 2,000 years ago.
I believe differently now than 30 years ago. First, I do not expect to have all the answers, nor do I believe that people are really looking for them. Second, I don't look for the hand of God to stop evil. I don't expect comfort to come from afar. I really do believe that God enters the world through us. And even though I still have the "Why?" questions, they are not so much "Why, God?" questions. We are human and mortal. We will suffer and die. But how we are with one another in that suffering and dying makes all the difference as to whether God's presence is felt or not and whether we are comforted or not.
One true thing is this: Faith is lived in family and community, and God is experienced in family and community. We need one another to be God's presence. When my younger brother, Brian, died suddenly at 44 years old, I was asking "Why?" and I experienced family and friends as unconditional love in the flesh. They couldn't explain why he died. Even if they could, it wouldn't have brought him back. Yet the many ways that people reached out to me let me know that I was not alone. They really were the presence of God to me. They held me up to preach at Brian's funeral. They consoled me as I tried to comfort others. Suffering isolates us. Loving presence brings us back, makes us belong.
A contemporary theologian has described mercy as "entering into the chaos of another." Christmas is really a celebration of the mercy of God who entered the chaos of our world in the person of Jesus, mercy incarnate. I have never found it easy to be with people who suffer, to enter into the chaos of others. Yet, every time I have done so, it has been a gift to me, better than the wrapped and ribboned packages. I am pulled out of myself to be love's presence to someone else, even as they are love's presence to me.
I will never satisfactorily answer the question "Why?" because no matter what response I give, it will always fall short. What I do know is that an unconditionally loving presence soothes broken hearts, binds up wounds, and renews us in life. This is a gift that we can all give, particularly to the suffering. When this gift is given, God's love is present and Christmas happens daily.
None of us will never satisfactorily answer the question "Why?" because all our answers fall short. Yes we can see the obvious as Matthew pointed out.
We will still have our questions.
The one thing we can do is trust in the Lord God who is our security and follow the advice of Father Kevin and comfort the suffering in their time of need.
The Apostle Paul reminds us:
"Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all."
— 1 Thessalonians 5:14

This is definitely a question we get asked, and the subject of many conversations around here at #RNFMRADIO. So you're a new nurse, but you're looking for a job and no one is willing to hire you without med/surg experience. How do you get that experience if you can't get hired? Is med/surg the only path to pursue right out of nursing school? Are there other opportunities where you could get hired without this experience?
All these questions, and more will get answered on today's episode.

I've been using an opensource CMS application recently called Mambo.
We needed some kind of CMS for our own site and after looking around, weren't really happy with what was out there..
The sites based on *nuke seem so chaotic. But not Mambo. The sites created with Mambo are nicely designed and user friendly. But the admin interface is absolutely brilliant! Its a well designed system with a great community. Theres quite a few templates around which quite nice to look at.

Invited by the Fondation Louis Vuitton in january 2017 to create a danced conference based on the theme of The Afternoon of a Faun, created by Nijinsky in 1912, Nicolas Le Riche has chosen to present his approach to work in the studio at LAAC – a place for creation, transmission and the internal integration of dance. Nicolas Le Riche conveys a rare knowledge, a major role of the repertoire he has himself received, shared with the apprentices pro and that the Louis Vuitton Foundation wanted to enrich the environment of his exhibition devoted to this visionary collector.
Within this context, the students visited the Shchukin exhibition and discovered what inspired the artistic strength of the years preceding the war, and what nourished the Russian and European avant-garde. The synergy of the artistic languages, the universality of creation, the vibrancy of a vision of the future, the spirit of freedom – essential concepts that Nicolas Le Riche and Clairemarie Osta transmit to the apprentices and professional apprentices ona daily basis.
On stage in this magical place devoted to culture, the dancer teaches the technique of movement as well as the phrasing in the role to a Professional Apprentice from LAAC. Two musicians from LAAC accompany this transmission, Shinichi Inoguchi and Fleur Grüneissen, while Eric Génovèse, member of the Comédie Française, reads texts from the early 20th century that help shed light on this original work while also revealing the asperities that originally caught the attention of Nicolas Le Riche. In 2015, the notion of the Faun being moved by the nymphs inspired the dancer to create the ballet, "Une après-midi…", the feminine counterpart of Nijinksy's ballet, choreographed for and performed by Clairemarie Osta. It was in 1910 that Serge de Diaghilev, director of the company Ballet Russes, and Léon Bakst suggested the Faun to Nijinsky as the subject of his first choreography. With music by Claude Debussy, and costumes and set design by Léon Bakst, modernity was underway.
The short ballet was first performed in 1912 at the Théâtre du Chatelet. The radical nature of the dancing coupled with the audacity of the subject – desire charged with animality – sparked a scandal the vigor of which is recounted in texts. Herein lies the starting point for what takes place on stage. Parallel to the texts being read, Nicolas Le Riche focuses first and foremost on transmitting that which brings modernity to Nijinsky's choreography – he who, according to the Master's own daughter, gave one of the best ever performances of the role. Jesse Lyon and Robin Chaput have the honor of receiving this transmission on stage at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, where the audience literally witnesses each metamorphosing into the Faun under the watchful eyes, words and guidance of Nicolas Le Riche.

Nari will win your trust with his openness and easiness thanks to which you immediately feel relaxed and at ease.

I like to learn the depths of human soul and all its colours and hues. I like to meet people over a cup of tea, talk and discover their little stories, the pleasures and coincidences that shape us. I also like to wander barefoot in the forests of our beautiful planet, surrounded by silence and the words of mother nature. Nature is a powerful teacher and it will teach everyone who is willing to listen at least a little bit everything they need to know to be happy. I like to listen to her call whether in the form of a gurgling stream, blooming meadows and fields or picturesque sunsets. And she does talk...
Once you experience and understand the true state of bliss, you start to wish the same to other people in the world. I experienced this state of mind and after that I searched for a long time for the teaching whose knowledge and mastery would show me the dreamed-of art: to learn to provide the state of absolute bliss to myself and others. The moment I came across the art of Tantra I realised that my destiny is to follow the path of Tantra initiation and become a Tantra guide. Thanks to Tantra I can join you and guide you on your journey through life by the only right way: your own way.
I don't know of greater joy than passing on joy through sincere human touch and helping others learn the state of inner bliss, joy and absolute submission of the body and soul. My favourite Tantra massage procedures thus include Tantra Massage Deluxe which provides space to tune into each other and hand over Tantra experience. Other favourite massage types are also Tantra Massage for Couples or Four-Hand Tantra Massage.

Okay, So I have a question? Why is it you work on a project all super excited, get three quarters of the way through, and then slow way the hell down? Let's, for example, take into account my Grandma's Riding Coat (raveled). I started this coat with a passion. I knit the back, left front, and right front in record speed (okay forget the fact that it's all garter stitch, it was still record speed). Literally about 4 days for all those pieces and .... yes, there's an "and" I managed to seam all those pieces together.
Now it was time to work on the sleeves. It's been 4 days and I still only have half the sleeves done. It's not that I don't want to finish the project, trust you me I really do! But, I can't seem to knit more than few rows a day on these sleeves, and it's annoying the living day lights out of me.
I am a combination between a process and product knitter, a hybrid if such a thing exists. For example, carrying the needles is like therapy to me. I love the process of knitting and it's a lot cheaper than a shrink (well, maybe not... I do love yarn! Lol). But.... You get my point. However, this doesn't mean that I knit just to knit. NOPE! I love, love, love having a FO (that's Finished Object for any non-knitters out there). It's like being healed by a great therapist... lol. I've gone to the sessions, layed on the couch, spewed my feelings into the stitches, and now I have a great object to show for it. Does that make sense?
Anyway, I shall continue to work on these sleeves stitch by stitch and hope to God that they don't take me too much longer because I'm longing for an FO and for this therapy session to be over... :o)
That's it for now... thanks for listening.

Pipette Painting
Then I quickly brought out the book 'Mouse Paint' and read to him. He loves reading. As I read, I linked it back to what we have in front of us. And he finally picked up the pipette to dribble the paint onto the paper.
I prompted him to use the straw to blow at the paint and see what happened. He blew a while and he gave up. I used tempera paints and these were too thick for blowing.
He overturned the paint container and used it to make circle prints.

How possible is it to sell a Hialeah house without the need of a broker?
If you're looking to sell your home or investment property in Hialeah without using a real estate broker, Glymph Properties can help.
We aim to get you the most money possible so we prefer not to work with brokers, but we will if need be.
After all, paying 5-6% of the sale of a house in a commission is a bunch of money. In certain situations, brokers and real estate agents can be very useful and earn their commission. Not always.
There are a few tricks to avoid paying high commissions on a sale.
Before we get going, there's one thing you have to know.
In most sales in Hialeah , usually half of the 6-8% commission you pay as the seller goes to pay for the buyer's broker.
Did that little tid-bit register… you are paying for your buyer's realtor .Think it over, you are literally paying for the buyer's agent to negotiate against you. Essentially, you are negotiating against yourself. You are paying to lose cash.
Why in the world would you pay for your "opponent" ?
Honestly, it contradicts reason – it is just what is usually done in most cases.
You can use that to your advantage in several ways.
First, remember to include the commissions paid when you are looking at local comparable sales. If the houses comparable to yours sold for prices that included commissions, take that into account.
Do not under value your house – be aware that a knowledgeable buyer may possibly expect to get a discount too. If you are doing the work of one realtor, you could expect to keep that money.
Generally in Hialeah , buyers who are not represented by a buyers agent will not remember to negotiate the buyer's side commission out of the price for themselves, so do not remind them if you do not want to pay them. Just don't be surprised if it comes up during the negotiation.
You might want to consider offering 2.5% to real estate professionals who will bring their clients to show your house. Of course, it is a lot of money. If you are pricing your house including that commission, you can always work out a much better deal for a purchaser who comes without a real estate agent.
Now, if you really don't like the idea of paying for a buyer's agent and decide not to offer to pay it, you'll cut your pool of prospective buyers to just about nothing.
Almost all real estate transactions occur through the MLS ( Multiple Listing Service). It is the main database that all the agents in Hialeah use to get information for their clients on the houses, condos, land and investment properties for sale, along with data on the sold prices.
Not so long ago, you had to pay a full commission to get your house on the MLS. Now in Hialeah , there are a few agents who will charge you a service charge just to list your property on the MLS. Frequently, you spend a few hundred dollars and you only pay a commission if the sale closes.
Compared with the cost of a newspaper ad, the MLS is one of the cheapest ways to market your house to the largest audience.
Every one of the significant real estate websites like Realtor.com, Zillow, Yahoo Homes, etc. obtain data from the MLS. Chances are good that when you submit your property in Hialeah to the MLS, information on your house will end up on most of the major websites within a couple of days.
Each of these sites sells ads. They have packages that let you pay to improve your listing, feature it at the top of the search, and a lot of other bells and whistles that might or might not get an interested buyer to buy your house.
Marketing may be a gamble. Occasionally open houses in Hialeah can be a fantastic way to sell a house, and at times they are a complete waste of time. Same with newspaper ads, craigslist posts, FSBO (For Sale By Owner) signs – from time to time they work, and at times they don't.
To successfully sell your house by yourself, you have to advertise it well.
Placing fliers and signs around your community can generate a few calls, and there are a lot of free web sites where you can post information. But frequently just posting ads and hosting an open house is not enough if your property does not appeal to the typical home purchaser.
In theory, realtors charge large commissions because they have to spend a great deal of money up front to promote your house. By marketing lots of houses at once, they expect to get more calls – and obviously, they'll make good profits by selling lots of properties.
Certain properties can require thousands of dollars in advertising expenses before the right buyer happens to see the ad and call.
If you want to avoid paying any kind of commissions, you can also sell your house to investors like us for CASH.
Glymph Properties presents fair prices for houses – and we can close fast (in as little as 3-5 days if you need to).
Sometimes we'll buy Hialeah properties, renovate them, then lease them… sometimes we'll fix them up and sell them to other people looking for great homes in the area, and a lot of other reasons, too – but we love to hear from people like you who are thinking of selling anywhere in Hialeah .
Glymph Properties invests because we care a lot about Hialeah .
We close fast and can pay cash in as little as just 3-5 days. Give us a call now at 888-509-6267 Ext 4 or fill out the short form over here.
