  d on  August 20, 2024  by  admin By Michelle Ball, California Education Attorney for Students since 1995 As students have been pushed to online learning by Coronavirus, everything may outwardly seem very safe and innocent to parents, with kids attending distance classes quietly.  However, online school creates new opportunities for students to be disciplined by their school, and even suspended or expelled. Recently, students, in addition to random hackers, have been attending online classes and (intentionally or unintentionally) making rude comments, playing inappropriate music, using fake names that a teacher may say (unaware of the rude context), playing pranks on their classes or instructors and causing other havoc which may not have occurred had they been in a “real” classroom.  Students have also appeared scantily clothed or even nude.  Some have inappropriate material, purposefully or not so purposefully, in the background of their camera which...

  osted on  August 19, 2024  by  admin Today’s data lakes are expanding across lines of business operating in diverse landscapes and using various engines to process and analyze data. Traditionally, SQL views have been used to define and share filtered data sets that meet the requirements of these lines of business for easier consumption. However, with customers using different processing engines in their data lakes, each with its own version of views, they’re creating separate views per engine, adding to maintenance overhead. Furthermore, accessing these engine-defined views requires customers to have elevated access levels, granting them access to both the SQL view itself and the underlying databases and tables referenced in the view’s SQL definition. This approach impedes granting consistent access to a subset of data using SQL views, hampering productivity and increasing management overhead. Glue Data Catalog views  is a new feature of the  AWS Glue Dat...

  Fast fashion labels, fossil fuel companies and SUV-makers are present in EU-regulated “sustainable” funds that tout their ethical credentials in their names, the Guardian and media partners can reveal, with $18bn (£14bn) of their investments going to the 200 biggest polluters. Investors hold more than $87bn (£68bn) in funds that disclose under environmental and social sections of   EU sustainable finance rules while including some of the biggest emitters of planet-heating gas, an analysis of data from the last quarter of 2023 shows. About one-fifth of the $87bn   investments come from funds that also market themselves using environmentally-friendly terms. Campaigners have called for tighter rules on labelling, arguing that the current system confuses investors and means ordinary people unwittingly contribute to climate breakdown. “Pension savers and the general public are being misled when it comes to sustainable finance,” said Lara Cuvelier, a sustainable investment ca...

  Researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that young children between the ages of 5 and 12 were more likely to experience a concussion from recreation and other non-sport activities, yet those injuries were not seen by specialists until days later compared with sports-related concussions in the same age group. This study suggests concussion research is needed for children outside of sports and that providing more resources and education to those providers diagnosing most concussions in this age group, particularly emergency departments and primary care, could reduce inequities in concussion care regardless of the mechanism of injury by which these patients experience concussions. The findings were recently published by the  Journal of Pediatrics . Adolescents experience high rates of sports- and recreation-related injuries, but the rate of injuries among children ages 5 through 12 is still high, at about 72.7 injuries per 1000 children. More than half...
