The Daily News reports that a group of undergraduate Pratt Institute students have brought a lawsuit against the school, demanding a tuition refund in the face of inadequate online instruction."The online learning options being offered to Pratt students are subpar in practically every aspect, from the lack of facilities, materials and access to faculty," a lawyer for the students wrote in the suit. "Students have been deprived of the opportunity for collaborative learning and in-person dialogue, feedback and critique."…The Pratt Institute lawsuit argued that the university's design focus makes remote, online learning even less feasible for students.I can't imagine how one would go about teaching Industrial Design from afar.

One of Plymouth's tactics was to offer greater customization options.At the time, the Mustang offered 15 exterior color options:1970 Ford Mustang Exterior Paint OptionsThe Camaro offered 18 exterior color options:1970 Chevy Camaro Exterior Paint OptionsNote: This sheet pertains to multiple Chevy models. We have obscured the color options unavailable on the Camaro. Plymouth went heavy by offering a whopping 25 color options.

Paint OptionsThat rendering is freaking gorgeous, as are all of the colors. There's not a single one of those I'd decline.As Hot Rod reports, automotive enthusiast Tim Wellborn, founder of the Wellborn Musclecar Museum in Alabama, had known about the rendering since childhood and recently decided he wanted a real version. According to My Classic Garage, "Collaborating with the Big Easy Motors television show on the History Channel, the Wellborn Musclecar Museum tapped famed builders at The Bomb Factory in New Orleans, LA [and] set out to create a real life version of the original 1970 illustration."Here's what they came up with:They did commit to a single color for the driver's side (looks like #17 on the chart):While the "Paint Chip 'Cuda" isn't for sale, the museum sells both posters and banners featuring its image.

& Dutch Restaurant's Social Distancing Techniques: Individual Dining Greenhouses, Food Served on Long Planks By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Dutch restaurant ETEN, which is part of Amsterdam's Mediamatic Arts Centre, is trialing an innovative approach to social-distancing dining. As reported by Reuters, a series of small greenhouses (max. capacity: 3) has been constructed along the waterfront outside of their restaurant.Servers wear gloves and facemasks.Food is served on long planks, so the servers can slide them onto the tables without entering the greenhouses.Ditto for busing the dishes afterwards.If I can point out one flaw, it's that the tables need those server-summoning buttons they have in Asia. In the photo below, you can clearly see the two dudes on the right are desperate for refills.And while the solution is Dutch, the marketing contains a bit of French.

& Ask yourself these questions to decide if it's safe to visit your mom on Mother's Day By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 11:00:00 -0400 GagliardiPhotography/Shutterstock As spring passes by under lockdown, many Americans are wondering if it's safe to visit their mom for Mother's Day this year. Claudia Finkelstein, a doctor and associate professor of family medicine at Michigan State University, says that if either you or your parent have a chronic illness, are over the age of 65, or live in an urban area, it's unwise to plan an in-person visit. If you are able to visit your mother, however, try to meet outdoors and avoid physical contact — which may be challenging if you have children. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. As a physician, mother, daughter, and socially responsible human, I'm finding Mother's Day to be complicated for me this year, as it is for millions. Questions of whether and how to see my adult children and my own elderly mother present medical and ethical quandaries. As an associate professor of family medicine with a focus on wellness, as Mother's Day approaches, I'd like to share with you my thinking about this using some tools to aid discernment. Wouldn't it be great if choosing time with parents or offspring were ever an easy decision to make? However, the answer is rarely that simple. This year, in the midst of a global pandemic and the need to continue to practice social distancing, the decision is even more complex than usual.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: A cleaning expert reveals her 3-step method for cleaning your entire home quicklySee Also:Scott Galloway: Amazon can and should offer all of its Prime members COVID-19 testing 'at a scale and efficiency that makes America feel like South Korea — competent'14 countries that are paying their workers during quarantine — and how they compare to America's $1,200 stimulus checksThis is the most common zodiac sign among the world's richest billionairesSEE ALSO: 5 ways for parents to motivate their kids and avoid tantrums at home during the coronavirus, according to a parenting expert READ MORE: There's such a thing as having a 'social allergy' to someone you dislike.

& Trump and Pence should go into self-quarantine for the next 2 weeks — according to the government's own coronavirus guidelines By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 11:17:04 -0400 AP Photo/Evan Vucci More than a dozen people who may work near President Trump and Vice President Pence have tested positive for the coronavirus this week. On Friday, Pence's press secretary Katie Miller tested positive for the virus. Eleven Secret Service agents have also tested positive for COVID-19, along with one of President Trump's valets. Ivanka Trump's assistant has also caught the coronavirus, but that person has been working remotely for weeks. Because the virus spreads easily when people are in close contact, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urges anyone who's been exposed to someone who's caught the coronavirus to stay home for 14 days. FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn, who worked with Miller recently, said he'll stay home for the next two weeks, but the President and Vice President remain out and about.

& I've been using Apple's new iPhone SE for 2 weeks — here are the best and worst things about it so far (AAPL) By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 12:20:35 -0400 Lisa Eadicicco/Business Insider The $400 iPhone SE stands out for its fast performance, compact design, and effective camera. Still, the iPhone SE is lacking some of the camera features found on similarly priced Android rivals. Overall, the phone is best suited for Apple loyalists upgrading from an older device like the iPhone 6S that want something affordable and familiar. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Apple's iPhone SE is unlike any iPhone Apple has released in the past two years. In fact, it looks a lot more like the the iPhone you probably remember from 2017 and earlier, back when iPhones still had home buttons and smaller-sized screens. I switched from the $1,000 iPhone 11 Pro to Apple's new iPhone SE recently, and overall I've found it to be a solid option for Apple fans looking for a cheap, portable device. The smaller and lighter size is easy to manage and operate with one hand, and Touch ID brings some convenience that Face ID can lack. But of course, since it's significantly cheaper than the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, it's lacking in some areas. It doesn't have an ultra-wide-angle camera or low-light photography capabilities, for example, even though similarly priced Android devices offer some of those features. After spending a couple of weeks with Apple's cheapest iPhone, here are my favorite (and least favorite) things about it. The iPhone SE runs on Apple's latest iPhone processor, which makes it feel snappy and fast. The iPhone SE runs on Apple's A3 Bionic processor, the same chip that powers the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. As a result, the iPhone SE feels snappy and fast in daily use. I found this to be especially true when switching from my old iPhone 8 to the SE. In most cases, it was able to launch apps, render 4K video clips, and find surfaces more quickly in augmented reality than Apple's more-than-two-year-old iPhone 8. That being said, the iPhone SE is pretty similar to the iPhone 8 in just about every other way, save for a few exceptions. It's best suited for those upgrading from an iPhone 7 or older. The A13 Bionic is the major advantage the iPhone SE has over similarly-priced Android phones, many of which may offer more sophisticated cameras but run on less powerful processors. It's small and compact, which means it's easier to use with one hand and fit into pockets. The iPhone SE is the most compact iPhone Apple has released in years. It has a 4.7-inch screen just like the iPhone 8, and weighs noticeably less than the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro. The iPhone SE weighs 5.22 ounces, while the iPhone 11 weighs 6.84 ounces and the iPhone 11 Pro weighs 6.63 ounces. It's also the only iPhone Apple sells that comes with a Touch ID home button. Although I've grown accustomed to swiping up from the home screen to return home and unlocking my phone just by looking at it, I've really appreciated having Touch ID again. Apple's fingerprint sensor sometimes works a bit faster than Face ID in my experience when unlocking my phone. And since Face ID works best when held directly in front of your face, I often have to physically pick up my phone to unlock it when using the iPhone 11 Pro. With the iPhone SE, by comparison, I can unlock my phone just by resting a finger on the home button without having to move the device. It's a small convenience, but one that I've come to appreciate.

& 'Concierge doctors' who charge $10,000 a month for house calls and easy access to coronavirus tests have been cast as the villains of the pandemic. We talked to 6 of them to hear what they think the real problem is. By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 12:47:00 -0400 Lisa Larkin MD & Associates Ultrawealthy and sometimes asymptomatic Americans are using concierge doctors to access COVID-19 tests amid a nationwide shortage. The doctors, whose monthly fees can range up to $10,000 a month and don't accept insurance, can offer coronavirus antibody test results in as little as two hours; results for the general public can take days. Even some concierge doctors question the ethics of offering tests to their wealthy clientele that aren't available to the general public. Both concierge doctors and their clients told Business Insider that America's health care system is dysfunctional, and that patients are healthier operating outside it. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Jamie Gerdsen, the 46-year-old CEO of Cincinnati-based construction company Apollo Home, wanted his 200 employees to know how seriously he was taking the coronavirus pandemic. To prove it, he decided to get tested in April. For Gerdsen, the process was simple. All he had to do was call his doctor, set up an appointment time for him and his wife, and get to his doctor's drive-through testing center. At the center, they showed their IDs, answered a few questions, and got their fingers pricked, all without getting out of their car. The results came into Gerdsen's email inbox two hours later.

& The CDC warned against a 'poorly designed' plan to implement temperature screenings at 20 US airports. The White House is reportedly moving forward with it anyway. By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 13:39:20 -0400 Vachira Vachira/NurPhoto via Getty Images The White House reportedly plans to go ahead with a plan to institute temperature screenings at 20 US airports in order to instill confidence that air travel is safe, according to USA Today. According to leaked emails, a top CDC official said that such a strategy was ineffective and asked that the agency be excluded from the plan. Temperature checks do not account for asymptomatic COVID-19 cases, pre-symptomatic cases, or people with COVID-19 who do not have a fever. The report comes one day after an Associated Press report found that the White House had buried CDC guidance for re-opening businesses, schools, and churches.

The Trump administration reportedly ignored guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over temperature screenings at airports and plans to go ahead with them, even though they were ineffective in initially preventing the spread of COVID-19 in the US. The move, which would require temperature screenings at 20 US airports, was detailed in leaked documents reported by USA Today on Saturday.
