title: Teacher spotlight meet ms gentile

text:
Describe your teaching background. I graduated from Apopka High School and went to the University of Central Florida. This is my fifth year teaching. I spent the last five years at Wekiva High School.
What subject do you teach? I teach freshman and senior English and ESOL for seniors, too. It was my favorite subject in school and I enjoyed helping my classmates with it.
Describe your teaching style. I try to implement the method, “read, write and discuss,” daily. The students read something relevant to society, respond to it and have a strong discussion about it.
What influenced you to become an educator? I was just really good at English. I wanted to read books for a living and did not think I could get paid for it.
To what teams and clubs did you belong as a student? I was in chess club, Spanish Honor Society and National Honor Society. My best memory was going on an overnight Spanish club trip with my teachers and a couple friends. I won two ribbons at the trip.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I would fix my social anxiety. I am an introvert, so teaching really drains my energy. If I were an extrovert, things might be easier- I would gain energy from others’ interactions instead.
What does a perfect day look like to you? In class, the ideal day is when I can get kids talking about what we’re reading and see the real world connections, so I know the books are meaningful to their lives. Personally, I would sleep in and take my dog, an Italian Greyhound, to the dog park. Later, I would see a show at the Orlando Shakespeare Theater and have a really good dinner at a Mexican restaurant.
How do you want to be remembered? I want to be remembered as someone who cared for other people.

title: My favorite banana cake

text:
I don't remember how it begins. I bake the same banana cake for all the short and long trips we take. Of all the recipes I have, I alway bring this banana cake on board. Sometime, I bake it for friends who are travelling too. Ask my friends G and M who have since moved back to Singapore. I baked this cake when they drove down to Memphis for a marathon, and when they flew back to Singapore for good. It's funny, because I have emotionally connoted this banana cake with travel, love and well wishes.
This is also the cake I baked for my friend ST when we met in NYC. She was surprised when I took out a cold brick, covered with aluminium foil from my luggage, and presented it to her. I kept it in the freezer, I told her. She was mildly amused, but accepted it politely. After our 5 days getaway, she brought the said cake back to London. How it survived the long journey with luggages packed full with new shoes and clothes perplexed me. But ST told me it survived. And she exclaimed that the banana cake tasted different when it was at room temperature. To that, I nodded knowingly. Isn't it wonderful? A cake that can either be eaten straight from the freezer, or at room temperature. Personally, I like it at room temperature though. :)
I have been wanting to share this moist and light cake with you for a long time. Perhaps you have made it or heard about it already. Or maybe it's also your go-to banana cake recipe? The recipe comes from Rose Levy Beranbaum. The author of "The Cake Bible","The Pie and Pastry Bible" and "The Bread Bible". I love the simplicity of the recipe, and the method of beating softenend butter into dry ingredients yield a light and moist cake everytime.
Recently, I snatched a pan with 4 mini loaf cakes capacity at a bargain price. It gives me an excuse to make my favorite banana cake again with some personalization. I make a batch of batter, and divide it evenly. The first one, I sprinkle walnut on top, chocolate chips are added to another, dollop of milk chocolate hazelnut spread is swirled to the next and the last one - with a bit of everything. It's a lot of fun! Although I kind of guessed which one OCT will pick. And he confirms it later, when he asks for the one with everything! For me, I like the loaf with milk chocolate hazelnut spread. ST lugged 2 jars of it to NYC, along with other goodies that she knew I'd enjoy. Biting into the loaf with my friend hand carry chocolate spread makes me feel so loved.
The cake can also be made in muffin pan or the normal loaf pan. The time for doneness will varies, so check your cake when the smell of banana cake first hits you. Often time, it's an indication that the cake is almost ready. Don't wait until you smell burnt, which I don't have to tell you what has transpired. :p
Have a good weekend everyone!
My Favorite Banana Cake
adapted from Rose Levy Beranbaum's "The Bread Bible"
2 very ripe banana, peeled and lightly mashed (1 cup, 8 oz)
1/2 cup sour cream (~4 oz)
2 large eggs
grated lemon zest from 1 lemon
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups (scant) bleached cake flour Or 1 1/2 cups bleached all-purpose flour (7 oz)
10 tablespoons granulated sugar(5 oz)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (5 oz)
a handful of chopped walnut and chocolate chips (optional)
Nutella or other chocolate spread (optional)
Heat oven to 350 F. In the bowl, combine the mashed banana and sour cream until smooth. Add egg, lemon zest, and vanilla, mix well. In a mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt on low speed for 1 min. Add in all the butter and half of the banana mixture, beat on low until dry ingredients are moistened. Increase mixer speed to medium, beat for another 1 1/2 minutes, then add the remaining banana mix in 2 parts, beating well after each addition.
Pour the batter into a greased pan (you can use muffin pan or a loaf pan). Sprinkle your choice of toppings on the cake. As the cake bakes, most of the topping will sink. Bake for 20-35 minutes, if you are using the muffin pan, and 40-50 minutes for a loaf pan or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

title: Woke mob cancels white dutch author accepting offer translate black poets works

text:
African-American poet Amanda Gorman gained international fame for performing one of her poems at President Joe Biden’s inauguration, and her readership skyrocketed at home and abroad.
Gorman recently picked Dutch author Marieke Lucas Rijneveld to translate her poetry for part of her new international audience. But according to The Blaze, Rijneveld was lambasted by leftists for being a white person who translated a black person’s work, and Rijneveld was eventually forced to resign under pressure. No one even asked for Gorman’s input.
Why is the woke mob overruling the wishes of Gorman, a racial minority? Treating any African-American with that kind of disrespect is usually reprehensible to these people. Instead, why can’t they be happy that Gorman’s poems are reaching new consumers?
Furthermore, Gorman’s choice for a translator seemed entirely fitting for the task. Rijneveld is the youngest author to win the International Booker Prize, at the age of 29. The Blaze noted that she is a famous and accomplished young woman in the literary world, like Gorman.
However, none of that mattered to leftists like Dutch cultural activist Janice Deul. According to The Guardian, Deul demanded to know why the Dutch company publishing Gorman's poetry had not chosen a translator who was a “spoken-word artist, young, female and unapologetically Black.”
Perhaps it’s because Gorman requested Rijneveld to do it. Rijneveld later stated that she wanted to be the translator as well.
Deul also stated how furious many "wokes" were over seeing a white woman translate a black woman’s works.
"An incomprehensible choice, in my view and that of many others who expressed their pain, frustration, anger and disappointment via social media," Deul wrote. "Isn't it — to say the least — a missed opportunity to [have hired] Marieke Lucas Rijneveld for this job?”
Rijneveld was “shocked by the uproar” generated by the woke mob. She had been looking forward to translating Gorman’s poetry, but she bowed to the woke mob and agreed to resign from her role in the end.
“I had happily devoted myself to translating Amanda’s work, seeing it as the greatest task to keep her strength, tone and style,” Rijneveld said. “However, I realise that I am in a position to think and feel that way, where many are not. I still wish that her ideas reach as many readers as possible and open hearts.”
Consequently, Rijneveld joins the casualty list of those canceled by social justice activists.
These leftists may claim to fight racism, but the fact remains that they valued their own feelings over Gorman’s in this fiasco. Their intrusion indicates that they prize their own sensibilities over their supposed concern for racial minorities.

title: Navigating real estate contracts why you need a skilled lawyer

text:
Real estate transactions involve a multitude of legal documents that can be challenging to navigate without expert guidance. From purchase and sale agreements to deeds and leases, the contracts involved in real estate transactions can have a significant impact on the outcome of the deal. That’s why it’s crucial to have a skilled lawyer on your side when navigating real estate contracts.
Here are some reasons why you need a skilled lawyer when navigating real estate contracts:
Understanding of Legal Language
Real estate contracts often contain legal jargon and complex terminology that can be difficult for individuals to understand. A skilled lawyer can help you decipher these terms and ensure that you fully understand your contractual obligations and the rights of the other party.
Additionally, a professional lawyer can ensure that the language in the contract is clear, concise, and legally binding, thus protecting you from any legal disputes that may arise in the future.
Ensures Compliance with Applicable Laws
Real estate transactions are subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws is essential to avoid legal issues that can delay or derail the transaction. An experienced real estate attorney will ensure that your contracts are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Negotiates Favorable Terms
Contracts are negotiated documents that set out the terms of the agreement. A skilled lawyer can assist you in identifying terms that may be detrimental to your interests and negotiating favorable terms that align with your goals.
For instance, a lawyer can negotiate terms regarding the payment of taxes, warranties, and representations that may protect you from future legal disputes. With the help of a knowledgeable attorney, you can get a better understanding of the provisions and clauses in the contract and how they can impact your rights.
Identifies Hidden Risks
Real estate contracts can have hidden risks that can lead to legal disputes in the future. A skilled lawyer can help you identify these risks and take measures to mitigate them. For instance, a lawyer can help you identify potential legal issues related to title defects, zoning issues, or environmental hazards.
By being aware of potential risks, you can take measures to protect your investment and avoid legal battles that could be costly and time-consuming.
Navigating real estate contracts can be a daunting task, given the complex legal language and myriad of regulations involved. However, with the help of a skilled real estate lawyer, you can ensure that your transactions are legally binding and protect your interests.
A knowledgeable attorney can help you negotiate favorable terms, understand complex contract provisions, ensure compliance with applicable laws, and mitigate any potential risks. Ultimately, hiring a skilled lawyer can help you avoid legal roadblocks and make informed decisions that align with your real estate goals.

title: Synergy powers up kbess2

text:
Construction of Synergy’s second big battery in Kwinana is now complete and is set to be switched on in December 2024.
The $661 million Kwinana BESS (battery energy storage system) stage two comprises 288 shipping container-sized battery modules and features 72 inverter units, with 800MW/h of storage and 200MW of capacity.
Work on the project began in July 2023 and is now complete, with the battery to switch on before Christmas 2024.
The Western Australian Government said that the project supported around 200 jobs in construction, and this milestone comes as the state’s main electricity grid hit a new renewable energy record, with renewables peaking at 85.1 per cent of energy on the SWIS (South West Interconnected System) on 17 November 2024.
The state has more than doubled the renewables on the grid since 2017, increasing from 14 per cent in 2017 to more than 34 per cent in 2023.
The Western Australian Government said that investing in battery systems on the grid means the state can continue to drive up its renewable energy contribution, including from increased rooftop solar, and guarantees affordable and reliable energy for the state.
Synergy’s two big batteries in Kwinana will be able to power 450,000 households for up to four hours throughout Perth and beyond once the new battery is switched on.
The State Government said it is investing more than $5.4 billion in Western Australia’s energy transition.
The Kwinana big batteries join Neoen’s 560MW/2240MWh battery unit in Collie, as well as Synergy’s Collie Battery Energy Storage System, which is due to come online in 2025.
Western Australian Premier, Roger Cook, said this clean energy plan is setting up the state for the future and locking in affordable and reliable energy for every Western Australian.
“We’re smashing renewable energy records because of our government’s significant investment into the energy transition,” Mr Cook said.
“The Kwinana big batteries will play a vital role in keeping our energy system reliable and stable, allowing us to bring on more renewable energy and sensibly phase out coal by 2030.”
Western Australian Energy Minister, Reece Whitby, said, “With the completion of Synergy’s second Kwinana battery, we are delivering on our promise to provide Western Australians with power that is clean, affordable, and reliable.
“It won’t just soak up excess rooftop solar and onshore wind during the day – it will provide electricity in the evening, when the sun doesn’t shine, and the wind doesn’t blow.
“As we continue to retire state-owned coal-fired power, large-scale storage will play a critical role in enabling a smooth transition and backs in households seeking to benefit from rooftop solar.”

title: Question did dahl ever speak publicly or write about his brain injury

text:
I received an interesting question recently from Amber, a site visitor, and I thought I’d share my answer here for posterity. She asks,
Did Dahl ever speak publicly or write about his brain injury?
You mean from his plane crash in WW2? Interesting question. He’s written about the crash a few times, but I don’t think he ever talked about the lingering effects for the rest of his life.
The first mention would have to be “Shot Down Over Libya” (1942), the slightly fictionalised account of his crash. The introduction: “They hung a label around my neck which said “Flying Officer ––. Possible fractured skull base. Concussion and facial injuries. Church of England.” I knew this because the medical orderly read the label out loud to me at the base hospital. I tried to remember just why that label was there, and why it said these things. I tried to ask someone, but no one heard, so I gave it up and just lay still. Then slowly it all came back; not clearly and brightly at first, but a little dimly, as though by moonlight. In the end, I got it all…”
A few years later, he wrote a short story about a pilot recovering from a similar crash in “Beware of the Dog” (1944). I suspect that Dahl drew from his own experience: “The whole world was white and there was nothing in it. It was so white that sometimes it looked black, and after a time it was either white or black, but mostly it was white. He watched it as it turned from white to black, then back to white again, and the white stayed for a long time, but the black lasted only for a few seconds. He got into the habit of going to sleep during the white periods, of waking up just in time to see the world when it was black…. This is a hospital, he thought. I am in a hospital. But he could remember nothing.”
In his short story “Lucky Break” (1977), he tells the story of the plane crash and mentions how he left the RAF: “At that point, my old head injuries caught up with me. Severe headaches compelled me to stop flying.”
In his autobiography Going Solo (1986), he mentions the headaches again: “I had been at Haifa for exactly four weeks… when suddenly I began to get the most blinding headaches. I got them only when I was flying and then only when dog-fighting the enemy. The pain would hit me when I was doing very steep turns and making sudden changes of direction, when the body was subjected to high gravitational stresses, and the agony when it came was like a knife in the forehead. Several times it caused me to black out for seconds on end. I reported this to my squadron doctor. He examined my medical records and gravely shook his head. My condition he said, was without question due to the severe head injuries I had received when my Gladiator crashed in the Western Desert, and I must on no account fly a fighter plane again. He said that if I did, I might well lose consciousness altogether while up in the air…”
Sturrock’s biography talks about his injuries and speculates that nowadays doctors might have diagnosed him as suffering from postconcussive syndrome. He doesn’t refer to any writing Dahl did on the topic though beyond the pieces I’ve quoted above.
There is a new book out called Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Medicine, written by a Professor who looked after Dahl at the end of his life. I haven’t read it yet, but it purports to contain “anecdotes from Dahl’s late night hospital discussions with Solomon, which give new insights into this remarkable man’s thinking as his life came to an end.” It’s possible that could contain commentary from Dahl on his own injuries.
This was an interesting question to research, so I’m going to add it to the site. I’ll let you know if I ever find anything more!

title: Chinas elevator export situation

text:
China's share of global exports of home elevators continues to rise, and large and small home elevators are expanding simultaneously. China in 2020
The cumulative export value of home lift for sale is US$70.92 billion, accounting for 40% of global home elevator exports, ranking first in the world.
First; secondly, Germany, Thailand, Mexico, Italy, and Poland accounted for the proportion of home elevator exports respectively.
It is 7.1%, 6%, 4.6%, 4.2%, 3.9%.
China's industrial cargo lift export markets are extensive, mainly including Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa and the Middle East. China-made industrial lifts occupy a certain share of these markets, especially in developing countries and emerging markets.
Through technological innovation and brand building, China's cargo lift suppliers are expected to achieve greater success in the international market.
In the next few years, China's industrial freight elevator export market will show a significant growth trend, mainly benefiting from the rise of emerging markets and the promotion of technological innovation. According to the South China Morning Post, the rapid industrialization and urbanization in Asia, Africa and Latin America will significantly increase the demand for industrial freight elevators. China's "Belt and Road" initiative has further strengthened trade relations with these regions and promoted export growth. In terms of technological innovation, intelligent and automated freight elevators have become the new favorites of the market.
Chinese manufacturers such as FORU Freight Elevator Factory are investing in research and development to launch efficient freight elevators that integrate Internet of Things (IoT) technology and automated control systems, which has improved the competitiveness of their products. In addition, the application of environmental protection and energy-saving technologies is also increasing, in line with the global trend of sustainable development.

title: Interviews

text:
November is interview time. Interviews are an important connection with the home to communicate progress in learning. After the last 2 years of disrupted school, it is also going to be a very important connection to speak about student’s social and emotional well being.
Over time, every teacher develops their own approach to completing so many important phone calls/interviews in one evening and morning according to their professional judgement. I have seen a variety of different interview styles all be successful. Some teachers prefer to run student led conferences where students present their own work and discuss their goals for the school year while teachers facilitate the conversation. Other teachers prefer to directly discuss the students’ strengths and weaknesses directly with parents or guardians.
For me, my approach is to write down notes on every child before the interview night and discuss them with parents or guardians. I do this because during my very first interview night, many years ago, I didn’t write any notes before hand. I was confident that I knew my students and could talk about them forever! What I didn’t factor in was what would happen to my brain after 3 hours straight of talking about a variety of students. During my very last interview, I hesitated to describe a positive trait about a very vulnerable student that I taught. I was so very disappointed in myself as I knew a thousand wonderful things about this student, but my brain was fatigued. Ever since that moment, I always prepare notes. I also have found that it provides a good record of what was discussed.
My notes that I prepare answers 4 basic questions and leaves 1 area for questions that come up during the interview:
One Positive aspect about the child and/or their progress this year
I always start with a positive aspect about the child. It often sets the interview on the right note and tells the family that I really care and know their child. I will try to share something about their academic progress and something about their positive role in the classroom and/or school. For example, “We are so happy to have Ishmeet in our class this year. She is such a positive and outgoing member of our class and really works hard to make sure her classmates are included in all classroom activities. When we were working on our Science experiments last week, she saw that one student was left out and she went over and invited them into her group. It really helped the other student to be successful because they felt included. Ishmeet has also had a great start to the year in reading. She actively participates in our small group conversations, and she passionately talks about her book that she has self-selected. She can read new words and use strategies to figure out their meaning. Continue to encourage her to read at home.”
One area of growth
I try to focus this part of the conversation about one academic area that the child is working on improving. For this part of the conversation, I always have examples of the student’s work and an example of work that would be assessed at an A level. I find having samples for parents makes it much more easy for them to identify and see why I have evaluated their child’s classroom work at a given level. For example, “One area that Aria is working on improving this year is writing. As you can see from her most recent writing assignment, Aria does a great job organizing her ideas and writing her thoughts in paragraphs. To improve her mark in writing, Aria needs to add more complexity to her sentences and add more vivid vocabulary to her assignments as you can see in this A level sample here.”
What I am doing to support their child
During this part of the interview, I reiterate my commitment to their child’s learning this year. I clearly outline specifically my plan for supporting their child’s progress. For example, “I have noticed that Harini is having a difficult time understanding the Mathematical concepts of money. During our math periods this week, I have been meeting with Harini and 3 other students in a small group every day to help support her understanding of money. Next week, we will be having an assignment that uses the knowledge about money that we have been practicing. I will follow up with you before that assignment if I feel that Harini needs more time and practice to develop her skills in this area.”
The Home-School Connection
Finally, I thank the parent or guardian for meeting/talking with me today and highlight how important the connection between home and school is. It is often at this point in the interview that many caregivers ask for guidance on how to support the child’s learning at home. When you are asked this question it is important to keep in mind that not all parents have access to the same resources, time or supports in their home or community. Just like my students, I want to set parents up for success and I need to be flexible and responsive in my answer. For example, in my new role supporting English language learners, many families asked how they could support their child in reading when they didn’t speak English themselves. I responded by encouraging them to discuss what their child is reading in their first language and modeled what that conversation might sound like. With another family that I worked with in my previous role who wanted to understand how to support their child, I provided a resource that gave step by step instructions on how to develop reading skills and we met and role-played how that might look in their home. Ultimately, I highlight with the parent the many ways they already help their child be successful at school such as sharing their own life experiences and involving the child in family activities. An example of this unconventional way that a father supported his daughter’s learning was when she clearly made a connection between the text she was reading and her father’s experiences driven into child labour that he had shared with her. It is important as teachers, that we recognize the many ways parents, guardians and families support our students every day.
Do you have any questions?
I usually end with an opportunity for parents to ask questions. If the parent has a lot of questions, ask them to have a follow up meeting so that you are able to respect the time of all the parents who will be meeting with you tonight.
- It is okay to say that you are not sure about an answer and that you will follow up with the answer next week. I sometimes get asked about high school programs or opportunities for extra curriculars that I don’t know about. I write down the question and follow up with the parent the following week.
- Stop the interview immediately if you are feeling threatened. Do not take abuse or put yourself in a dangerous situation. Call the office immediately and stand outside your classroom until the situation is resolved.
- I always end the interview with a reminder to parents that they can call, email, or make an appointment to chat any day throughout the year. My door is always open!!
- Ultimately, the parent wants to know that you care about their child as much as they do. If you go in with a positive tone, most interviews will be successful no matter what approach works best for you.


title: Essential gardening tips for september 2024 a comprehensive guide

text:
September is a crucial month for gardeners. As summer fades and autumn begins, now is the perfect time to prepare your garden for the coming months. From planting trees to harvesting your last crops, there’s plenty to keep you busy.
September Planting and Maintenance
September offers the ideal conditions for planting trees and shrubs. The soil is still warm, promoting root growth, and the increased rainfall helps new plants establish before the winter. Consider enhancing your garden with new perennials as well.
If you dream of a spring bursting with flowers, now is also the time to plant spring bulbs. Crocus, daffodils, and hyacinths can be planted in pots or directly in the ground, provided the soil isn’t too wet. This foresight ensures a colorful garden after the cold months.
Autumn Garden Tasks
As your summer blooms start to fade, regularly deadhead flowers like dahlias to encourage them to keep flowering into autumn. This simple task can significantly extend the blooming period of your plants.
Cool-season vegetables such as spinach, leaf lettuce, mustard, radishes, and Swiss chard will thrive if sown now. Don’t forget root vegetables like rutabagas and turnips, and start thinking about your garlic planting too.
Making or maintaining a compost bin now will benefit your garden year-round. Keep the compost heap moist and aerated to speed up decomposition, ensuring rich soil for your plants.
Pruning, Lawn Care, and Pest Control
Harvesting late-season produce is essential before the cold nights set in. Bring in unripe tomatoes to ripen indoors along with squash, pumpkins, and cool-season greens like lettuce and spinach.
Don’t neglect your roses and shrubs either. A timely prune will keep them healthy and poised for vigorous growth next season. Trim dead branches and watch for late-season pests. Keep an eye out for spider mites, codling moths, and squash bugs, using gentle methods like insecticidal soap.
Finally, pay attention to your lawn. Apply your last nitrogen fertilizer no later than mid-September to support strong grass going into winter. Seeding for cool-season lawns should be done by the end of the month for best results.
In summary, September is full of tasks that prepare your garden for dormancy and future growth. Keeping up with planting, pruning, and pest control now will yield a beautiful and bountiful garden throughout the year. 🌱

Meeting the Moment: Growing Justice Fund Fuels Power-Shifting Food Systems Change Through Responsive Grantmaking
Join us in transforming the future of values-based good food purchasing —2025 Request for Proposals launches this fall!
WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, June 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Growing Justice Fund is honored to resource our collective grantee organizations advancing bold, community-rooted solutions in the values-based good food procurement movement. This round of response grants reflects our commitment to meeting the moment, mobilizing trust-based resources where they are needed most, and supporting community leaders who are building just, equitable, and resilient supply and demand channels.
From Tribal food systems to Black farmer advocacy to worker-owned cooperatives and institutional procurement reform, grantee partners are shifting power, reimagining supply chains, and rooting food policy in justice and care. These investments are more than transactions—they are affirmations of trust, relationships, and long-term impact.
“In this work, trust is the strategy. Our partners are not just responding to inequity—they are building the infrastructure, policy, and food systems that communities have long envisioned. The Growing Justice Fund exists to follow their lead and invest in what they are creating for generations to come,” said Ricardo Rocha, Advisory Committee Chair of the Growing Justice Fund.
This announcement arrives ahead of the Growing Justice Fund’s 2025 Request for Proposals, set to open later this fall. The upcoming RFP will invite new and existing partners to join us in advancing values-based purchasing models that center building infrastructure and capacity for aggregator intermediaries and farmers, values-based policy and labor rights organizing, and the cultivation of traditional food pathways to build community wealth within Tribal Nations.

MM Award for FLT und DOPAG
During the international trade fair AUTOMATICA in Munich the „Gantry Robot with Sealing Application“ won the MM Award. The system consists of an FLT robot and a Vectomix metering and mixing unit by DOPAG.
With the MM Award, the magazine MM MaschinenMarkt recognizes the most innovative exhibits of the fair in seven categories. Among the many candidates seven winners were selected by the jury, consisting of knowledgeable and competent editors of the journal.
In the category of "Assembly" FLT and DOPAG were able to prevail with the „Gantry Robot with Sealing Application“ and win the prestigious award. The FLT system allows for the first time automated geometry detection, dosage and application within the sealing process. It was developed especially for customers in the aviation sector for sealing joints and edges of large Carbon Fiber parts.
The system fully connects the three components, a) sensor technology b) robot and c) the metering system. An optical sensor is mounted on the dosing head of the sealant. This sensor can detect the present gap geometry, measure it and calculate the required amount of sealant in only one single process step. In the same operation, the calculated amount is dosed and applied.
The system thus allows a real-time communication of all involved components and an immediate response to adapt process parameters for the first time. This is made possible by an integrated processor inside the scanner which does the image and data processing and communicates with the robot and the metering. This allows both measurement drives as well as adhesive application in one single movement.
Substantial savings and improvements can be realized in terms of processing time, repeatability and material usage with this automated application. For the customer, this means a significantly reduced expenditure of time, increased productivity and lower costs.

The Myriota Cloud APIs provide a RESTful interface to integrate your own web applications, analytics pipelines and visualisation platforms with the Myriota Network. The Cloud API's allow you to query and manage Access Times, Destinations and Modules.
The base URL of all public Myriota Cloud APIs is currently https://api.myriota.com/v1
. Paths corresponding to specific API endpoints e.g. /modules, must be appended to the base URL.
Click on the API heading in the list below to access the API documentation pages.
- Access Times - get upcoming satellite pass information and access times for data transmission
- Destinations - configure how and where received message data is sent
- Modules - register and manage Myriota Modules on the Myriota Network, including routing of received messages
Access to the Myriota Cloud APIs are authenticated via a JSON Web Token (JWT). The JWT is passed using an Authorization
header, which must be included with all API requests. Furthermore, all API requests must be made via HTTPS. Any API request issued over plain HTTP will fail, as will API requests not including a valid token within the Authorization header.
Once you have successfully registered a Device Manager account, you can obtain a JWT by running the python script tools/myriota_auth.py
, which is included in the SDK. The script will print several tokens to stdout. Only the IdToken is required for API access
# you may be prompted for email and password inputs python tools/myriota_auth.py
Include the IdToken
within the Authorization
header of subsequent API requests, as the shown below.
curl --header "Authorization: <IdToken>" https://api.myriota.com/v1/modules
The token is only valid for 1 hour. A long term token suitable for server-to-server authentication can be created in Device Manager. Select "Tokens" from the left bar and click "Create" button, a new token will be generated after confirmation. Once created, immediately copy and securely store the generated token. For security reasons, tokens are not retained by Myriota and cannot be retrieved at any point.
Myriota's Cloud APIs use conventional HTTP response codes for indicating the success or failure of a given request. In general, response codes in the 2xx range indicate success, with typical responses provided within the API documentation. Response codes in the 4xx range indicate an invalid request, with some information provided within the response.
Lastly, response codes in the 5xx range indicate an error within the Myriota Cloud. These are rare, but if you encounter an error of this type, please let us know! You can report the error via Support and by doing so, you'll help us to continue improving the quality of our service.
Note that some APIs support bulk operations, in which case a 2xx response code may be returned even though individual items within the request may fail. In such cases, the API documentation describes how to identify errors.


title: Understand and manage fungal nail

text:
Toenails aren’t always the prettiest of things, but when you add a fungal nail infection into the mix, they can become even less attractive. Infections aren’t as rare as you might think, and while it’s possible to hide unsightly, crumbly or yellowing nails, you’re best off trying to treat your nails of the infection with our expert tips.
The Healthcare Professional in this video does not endorse any medicine products or brands. The Healthcare professional was paid by Scholl for their time in making this video.
Although fungal nail infections are common and generally harmless, they can be unpleasant and can take a long time to treat. Fungal nail infection occurs from a particular type of fungus in, under, or around the nail, and can follow a fungal skin infection.
Infections usually start at the edge of the nail and appear as discoloured white and yellow streaks or flaky white patches on toenails. The streaks often spread to the centre, discolouring more of the nail. In severe cases it can cause the nail to lift away from the skin. Finally, the nail can become brittle and crumble away, causing pain and swelling to the surrounding skin and nail.
As fungus often thrives in moist, dark and warm conditions, wearing trainers or shoes that make feet hot and sweaty for long periods of time makes the risk of infection higher. Fungal nail infections are also contagious and can spread in communal areas such as gyms and pools.
You are more likely to get a fungal nail infection if you:
You can help protect against fungal nail infections from occurring by:
Please see a GP or Podiatrist if your fungal nail infection is severe and treatment hasn't worked, or if it has spread to other nails. If you have diabetes or any circulatory problems please speak to a Healthcare Professional before self treating.

title: Why i love old navy

text:
Here is a great picture of her showing how she is long, thin and all leg. The black shorts she was wearing are NEW, but not even close to the passing the fingertip test for school. She is really not that tall, it just looks that way.
Right now Old Navy is having some great back to school sales. (I am also loving the 90210 cast in the commercials.. Team Dylan!! ) I also received a $15 off of $50 coupon in the mail, and a $5 reward from having an Old Navy credit card. $20 off, yes please!!
The regular full price of the the clothing on the table (minus one shirt that she is currently wearing) would have been $105.47 before tax. Buying during their sale, and adding in my $20 in coupons/rewards, I paid a whooping $31.81 before tax... Seriously only $31 for a table full of clothes!! This is the perfect time to buy tanks because they are on clearance. They can also be worn under other shirts all year long. The yoga pants and capri sweats were all under $5 after sales coupons. (she is a weird one who doesn't like to wear jeans) The cute skirts were only $3.36 after sales and coupons. I was also given $10 in Old Navy Cash to use for my next purchase in a few weeks. It is good just in time to figure out what other items she might still need.
We also stopped at Children's Place. We found knee length shorts on clearance for only $5.95. We picked up two for these warm first few weeks of school. They also had a pair of pants that roll up to capri length that were $12.95. While a little bit more than the other items I found, they were her favorite color. I spent only $26 there, and got a 20% coupon off my next purchase in Sept. Overall, I spent only $55 for clothes worth over $150. To me, that is a shopping trip worth sharing.


title: Cheerleading for fchs

text:
If you like to cheer and show school spirit, an interest meeting to be a cheerleader at FCHS piques your interest. On Monday, an interest meeting will be held after school where you will learn about cheerleading at Falls Church and consider joining next year. We interviewed a 9th grader, Jazlyn Ramirez, a current cheerleader at Falls Church, who gave us some answers to a few questions. We also got a chance to talk to the cheer coach, Ms. Melendez. So here are a few pieces of advice for 8th and even 7th graders who want to be cheerleaders in high school!
How can I register to become a Cheerleader next year?
There are a lot of steps to register to be a cheerleader, but Ms. Melendez will help students during the process!
Will this help my education?
Yes! An excellent aspect of cheer is that if you plan on attending college after high school, cheerleading can provide you with scholarships!
Are there any requirements to be a cheerleader?
Currently, FCHS has no requirements to be qualified as a cheerleader. You can have years of experience or none at all!
When and where are practices?
Practices for cheer are after school at Falls Church!
Are there any traits that will help me as a cheerleader?
A good trait to have as a part of cheer is confidence; you will be cheering in front of many people, so always be confident in yourself! Kindness is great, too, since you’ll be working with others who may need more help than you do!
Are there any skills that will help me as a cheerleader?
Flexibility is always great as a cheerleader since you will be doing some choreography, which may require stretching out!
Should I buy anything for cheer?
The only product you’ll have to buy is cheer shoes since the school should provide your outfit!
Is there anything I can expect next year?
You should expect a few challenges and learn some new skills, but remember to have a good mindset!
Any other advice?
Be confident! You are going learn things, and you are going to do great at cheer! If you don’t believe in yourself and think you’ll do poorly, you won’t get anywhere. Be confident in yourself and believe in your abilities!
What if I have other questions?
Remember, there will be an interest meeting after school where you can ask questions in person! Make sure to sign up for it on Friday using both the LJMS ASP Sign-up Forms (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe2DT9RaEfFRRJ3vgci5pvNObBWGv_oyntask5k90IoS-cJkw/viewform), and the after-school attendance in the cafeteria during Super Snacks (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjwPdDOFiHqcc4xIgy_x09H1zek_e7tBKXOfflf_-hTfL16Q/viewform). Remember that this event will take place during both A and B sessions, and will take place on Monday, February 26th.
See you all there!

Outdoor Living Products & Décor
Make the exterior of your home stand out with the right outdoor living products and décor. Adding visual interest to your home's exterior not only increases its value, but can help transform a lackluster facade into something special. But don't stop there—bring your family living outdoors with furniture and accessories made to create attractive, functional spaces—it's all about the details.
Create an Outdoor Room With Patio Furniture and Accessories
The right patio furniture can transform your open-air space into a functional outdoor room. Choose an elegant patio dining set and enjoy your morning coffee in solitude, or host a celebratory dinner outdoors for a crowd: Explore outdoor seating in styles running the gamut from the classic Adirondack chair to ultra-contemporary benches and chairs. We offer outdoor furniture in a multitude of shapes, sizes, and styles, in durable, weather-resistant materials, including aluminum, steel, and teak.
Scale is important: A patio bar set imparts a fun, casual feel to a patio or deck, while a vintage-inspired bistro set adds elegance and utility to an intimate outdoor space. Create a resort-like atmosphere with an outdoor daybed; available with or without sun-shielding canopies, our daybeds elevate your patio, backyard, or poolside gatherings. Take a break from the hot sun under a patio umbrella, gazebo, or other outdoor shade structure. Choose options in outdoor furniture and patio accessories that best fit an area: From cozy conversation sets to large sectional sofas, comfortable outdoor furniture has the power to transform the look and functionality of your patio and yard.
Improve Your Home's Curb Appeal
Create a welcoming atmosphere with outdoor lighting. Highlight your lawn and garden or provide a clear pathway to your house when the sun goes down with landscape and path lighting. Update your front entryway with a new outdoor chandelier or pendant lighting. An outdoor ceiling fan puts the final touch on your patio or porch and adds cooling air circulation on the season's most sultry days. Explore our lawn and garden products and find planters and outdoor décor to add interest to your landscape or to soften hardscapes. Add a new lamp post or a decorative mailbox and address sign to create instant curb appeal. Organize your outdoor living space and keep hoses, cushions, gardening supplies, or sports equipment neatly tucked away in an outdoor storage bin. Riverbend Home offers a variety of easy-care, durable, and attractive outdoor products from Mayne, Whitehall, and other trusted makers, that add value to your home's exterior.
Turn Your Backyard Into a Year-Round Oasis
Enhance your usable outdoor living space and turn your backyard and patio area into a sanctuary for relaxation, entertaining, and gathering family and friends all year long. With the right setup, you'll make the backyard your family's favorite spot.
Space heaters and fire pits extend your outdoor living beyond the warmest months and help you get the most of your deck and patio area. They provide a cost-effective solution to add warmth and ambiance, and they help keep pesky insects away while you enjoy the outdoors. We even offer collapsible patio heaters that fold down for easy storage in the winter and tabletop fire pits for smaller spaces. Outdoor grills can be used year-round, especially when installed on a porch, covered deck, or another sheltered area. Browse our selection of gas and charcoal grills, along with smokers and outdoor pizza ovens that impart different flavors to your cuisine. Set an outdoor table with a selection of outdoor dining products, including dinnerware, drinkware, and tablecloths for your al fresco meals.
Enjoy your leisure time and transform your home's exterior with products for outdoor living from Riverbend Home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use an indoor ceiling fan outdoors?
You should avoid using an indoor ceiling fan outdoors, as there is a significant difference between indoor and outdoor fan designs. Outdoor ceiling fans are rated for safety when exposed to the elements. A damp-rated ceiling fan is appropriate for a partially enclosed porch or patio with minimal moisture exposure; opt for a wet-rated fan for an outdoor space frequently exposed to the elements. Many indoor ceiling fans are dry-rated, making them unsafe and unsuitable to use in outdoor spaces.
How can I add instant curb appeal to my home?
Create an elevated first impression quickly by making small additions to your outdoor living areas, including the porch, walkway, driveway apron, or curbside. A little bit of lighting goes a long way toward safety, security, and style; set up and plug in outdoor string lights or lamps for a quick burst of illumination. Garden planters and window boxes filled with real or artificial flowers add color to your home’s exterior. Replace an old mailbox or address sign with a sleek new model for instant appeal. Riverbend Home offers a selection of products and décor to boost curb appeal and enhance your outdoor living spaces.
How can I enjoy outdoor living in the winter?
When the temperature drops, invest in a few items to make your outdoor living space cozy: A fire pit adds warmth and ambiance, whether you choose a wood-burning or propane gas model. Outdoor patio heaters are made to keep the temperature comfortable; a bistro table, umbrella, or wall-mounted unit takes the chill off a winter’s night. Cast a glow over your patio or deck with step lights, outdoor wall sconces, or hanging pendants. Provide plenty of outdoor blankets and pillows for snuggling and you’ll enjoy your outdoor living space across the seasons.

Hi Liz! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy! I'm sure you are starting to get excited about your upcoming visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort! The Fourth of July is such a fun time to be there and celebrate the holiday. In years past, both the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT would put on
special firework displays on this night. Since the phased reopening, these shows have not returned to either park. Walt Disney World has not made any announcements about this year, but I think many Guests are hopeful for some great news. I suggest checking the
Disney Parks Blog for any news and updates! If they do not return, each of these parks should still put on their regular nighttime spectaculars so there will still be a firework display to enjoy.
If firework viewing is a priority for you on this night, there are two wonderful restaurants that offer a great view if you time your reservation just right.
California Grill sits at the top of
Disney's Contemporary Resort and has the perfect view of the Magic Kingdom. The food here is incredible and the service is top-notch. The other restaurant is
Topolino's Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera, which is located at the top of
Disney's Riviera Resort. You have an amazing view of the EPCOT fireworks from here. Topolino's Terrace has been a welcome addition to Walt Disney World and is in every way the perfect counterpart to California Grill. Again, the menu has so many delicious choices to choose from that you will not be disappointed with any decision you make.
Based on their locations, reservations at these restaurants will be tough to book. I suggest looking into
Kona Café or 'Ohana, which are both located at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. I've eaten at both locations on numerous occasions and always have a wonderful meal at each one.
'Ohana offers an all-you-care-to-enjoy dinner that includes the 'Ohana Bread Pudding for dessert. I would pay the price for this meal for this dessert alone! The best part about dining at either of these restaurants is that you can head out to the back of the resort and watch the Magic Kingdom firework display from the white sandy beach. The Polynesian Village Resort will pipe in the music from the show and you get a great view over the lake.
Liz, I hope these recommendations help you make your decision for dinner on the Fourth of July evening. There are so many great choices that you will not go wrong with anyone that you pick. Have a magical time during your holiday visit!
See ya real soon!


title: Establishment sen lisa murkowski laments i may not be re elected

text:
Establishment Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) on Thursday admitted she may lose her primary bid to Donald Trump-endorsed candidate Kelly Tshibaka.
“I may not be re-elected,” Murkowski told the New York Times about the possible end of her 20-year Senate career.
“It may be that Alaskans say, ‘Nope, we want to go with an absolute, down-the-line, always, always, 100-percent, never-question, rubber-stamp Republican,’ she said about Tshibaka who is leading in the polls.
“And if they say that that’s the way that Alaska has gone — kind of the same direction that so many other parts of the country have gone — I have to accept that,” Murkowski added. “But I’m going to give them the option… Maybe I am just completely politically naïve, and this ship has sailed. But I won’t know unless we — unless I — stay out there and give Alaskans the opportunity to weigh in.”
Murkowski’s worries come as Tshibaka has picked up steam heading into the August 16 GOP primary. Tshibaka has won the endorsement of the Alaskan Republican Party and scored Trump’s endorsement. Polling is also favorable for Tshibaka.
A poll, sampled as Alaska’s new ranked-choice voting system will hold the November election, discovered Tshibaka would win over 50 percent of the vote. Breitbart News’s Matt Boyle reported:
Conducted from March 14 to March 16, the survey of 500 likely voters in Alaska’s November general election found Tshibaka in the first round with a huge lead of more than double digits over Murkowski. On that first choice on the ballot, Tshibaka comes in with 45.4 percent and Murkowski at just 28.7 percent—with a generic Democrat close behind Murkowski and a libertarian candidate in fourth place. The poll’s margin of error is 4.21 percent.


title: How to extend battery life

text:
It is not necessary to have a large battery of more mAh in the phone, using these methods gives long battery life
Today we are going to tell you the tips to increase the battery backup without charging the smartphone, by following which you can increase the battery backup of the smartphone. Also, it will help improve the performance of the smartphone.
Phone manufacturer companies are currently offering large batteries of up to 7000mAh in smartphones. However, a battery with more mAh may not guarantee long battery backup. Actually, the battery life of your phone depends on how you use your smartphone. In such a situation, today we are going to tell you the tips to increase the battery backup without charging the smartphone, by following which you can increase the battery backup of the smartphone.
Turn location and Bluetooth off
The GPS feature consumes most of the smartphone's battery. Many times people forget to turn on the GPS of the phone, which is a big reason for the quick drain of the phone battery. Therefore, the users should turn off the GPS immediately after use. Bluetooth consumes the most battery after GPS. It is often seen that users turn on Bluetooth to transfer earbuds, speakers, or files, which remains on even after use, which drains the phone's battery quickly. In such a situation, users should also take care of keeping it switched off after using Bluetooth.
On the phone, the option to increase the brightness of the display is given, so that the eyes do not get too stressed during the sun or night. Users should use this feature for a limited period. Always running a smartphone in high brightness is harmful to the eyes. Also, drains your smartphone's battery soon. The phone battery can be saved by reducing the brightness level.
Background running app
Often after opening one app, you open the second, third app. But do you know that these first and second apps keep running in the background, which causes your smartphone's battery to drain soon? To avoid this, users should periodically close all background apps.
Always-On display feature
Due to the Always-On display feature, users do not have to open their screen repeatedly with the power button. But due to Always On Display, the battery of the smartphone runs out soon. In such a situation, the Always-On display feature should be used less to save your smartphone battery from running out soon. To turn it off, users should go to the Settings option of the phone and turn off the Always-on display feature.
Do not use live wallpapers
Live wallpaper is very good looking. But due to its application, the battery of the phone can run out soon. In such a situation, users should not use live wallpaper.


title: Importerror cannot import name safe weights name from transformers utils

text:
Importerror: cannot import name ‘safe_weights_name’ from ‘transformers.utils’ error occurs because of code structure change in transformers third party package diffusers. This creates incompatibility in the transformer library. Since Transformer is an NLP library for most kinds of Large Language Models like GPT- family, Universal Sentence Encoder, etc. It is built on PyTorch Library. In this article, we will explore how can we fix up this issue.
Importerror: cannot import name ‘safe_weights_name’ from ‘transformers.utils’ ( Solutions ) –
Let’s explore the solution in different sections.
Solution 1: Make diffusers compatible –
Since diffusers module is the root cause of incompatibility. Let’s fix its versioning. We can use pip command for fixing its versioning.
pip install diffusers==0.12.1
We can use other alternative package manager like conda etc as well also for installing diffusers. Here is the command for conda package manager.
conda install -c anaconda diffusers-torch
Solution 2: Make transformer compatible –
Since it is a transformer library error. Hence if the above solution is not working then you should upgrade the transformer version above than 4.27.4. Here is the command.
pip install transformers==4.27.4
Now you can restart the interpreter and re-run the code. Generally most compatible version of diffusers with transformers is diffusers==0.14.0 but If you are still getting this error you can try to upgrade transformers and diffusers both to the latest version.
Since it is more of a classic import error. Also, we have approached this error with generic tricks to fix the importError. But I will recommend you explore this detailed article on ImportError.
This diffusers is useful in building Generative AI solutions for 3D images. Most of the Large Generative models have this implementation internally. So if you are importing them and getting this error then try the above solutions.

Getting medical interventions
Many people with obesity do not get an obesity diagnosis and treatment from healthcare providers. Find out what you can do to get the help you need.
Many people with obesity do not get an obesity diagnosis and treatment from healthcare professionals. Find out what you can do to get the help you need.
For many people living with obesity, it can be hard to know when is the right time to seek help from a healthcare professional.
While it’s possible to manage weight on your own, having the support and guidance of a healthcare professional could make weight management easier.
Weight loss of just 5%-10% of total body weight can significantly improve the health and well-being of people with obesity. As little as 7% weight loss can decrease the risk of diabetes by 58%. Small changes could make a big difference to your overall health.
Talking to a healthcare professional about obesity treatment guidelines and best practices can help you to set realistic goals for weight loss and find a personalised weight management programme that works for you.
For many people living with obesity, there is a range of reasons why they might not seek treatment and assistance from their healthcare professional.
Here are some of the most common reasons:
It's common for people with obesity to experience self-doubt and self-blame that prevents them from seeking treatment.
While you might be hesitant to talk to your healthcare professional about obesity and managing weight, it can be a positive step towards better weight control. An obesity care provider can offer judgement-free advice on obesity diagnosis and treatment, as well as individualised obesity support.
Many of the strategies used by healthcare providers to help people with obesity manage weight are lifestyle-based interventions. These can include recommendations for:
An obesity care provider may also suggest individualised obesity treatment depending on your needs, including adapting obesity recommendations to obesity-related conditions that you may have. They might also suggest obesity medications or surgical interventions.
If you’re not sure if medical interventions for obesity are right for you, take a look at the signs below, including what an obesity diagnosis and treatment may be able to do for you.
If you’re feeling ready and motivated to lose weight, it’s time to talk to a healthcare professional for guidance.
Talking to a healthcare professional doesn’t have to be a last resort option. You might be seeking help to start losing weight for the first time in your life. Whatever your motivation to manage weight, receiving obesity treatment guidelines from a healthcare professional can help support you in your weight management journey.
For some people living with obesity, low self-esteem and negative body image can be a motivation to start managing weight and seek out an obesity diagnosis and treatment.
If you find that your weight is affecting your self-esteem (for instance, you now avoid activities that you used to enjoy), talking to a healthcare professional could help. Weight management has been found to be effective in improving self-esteem and body image for people with obesity.
An healthcare professional might also suggest individualized treatment aimed at improving self-esteem and body image, such as behavioral therapy or hypnotherapy.
Body mass index - measured as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared - is one tool used to identify obesity in adults. For adults, having obesity is defined with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher.
While BMI is not the only factor that healthcare professional use to guide obesity diagnosis and treatment, it can be used as a rough guide for when you should seek help. If you have a BMI of 25 kg/m² or higher, you may want to talk to a healthcare professional for their advice on strategies and methods for healthy weight management.
While many people believe that they can lose weight on their own, it's common for people living with obesity to face barriers with weight management.
Weight regain is a common occurrence. In many cases, people who are overweight and have obesity reach maximum weight loss 6 months after starting a weight management strategy. After this point, they often regain lost weight.
This may be due to unrealistic expectations for weight loss, partly as a result of outside sources like friends, family, and social media.
Talking to a healthcare professional can give you guidance on the most effective methods for weight management. Regaining weight is often thought of as the result of poor eating and exercising habits. However, there are many reasons for weight regain that are beyond your control, like genetics, your hormones and metabolism, or how the body regulates feelings of hunger and fullness.
If you’ve struggled to manage weight in the past, talking to a healthcare professional might give you the tools and support you need to succeed.
If you've been diagnosed with obesity-related complications or are suffering from health problems that are impacting your quality of life, it’s a good idea to talk to a healthcare professional.
Some obesity-related complications include:
Weight loss is linked to improving many obesity-related complications. Getting recommendations from a healthcare professional could help to reduce obesity-related health risks and improve your overall health long-term.
While it’s common for people with obesity to try to manage weight without support from a healthcare professional, talking to an healthcare professional could make your weight management journey easier and more effective. Whether you’re feeling motivated to lose weight, you're suffering from low self-esteem, or you’re concerned about obesity-related complications, these are all signs it’s time to talk to a healthcare professional today.

Spangler signed a National Letter of Intent on Friday to play collegiate tennis at Brevard College, rounding out the family’s connections to colleges and athletics.
Her mom Kim drove the Spangler brothers Pierce and Payton to football and baseball and Gracie was always along for the ride. The family supported dad Tommy as Presbyterian College head football coach during a successful career and now they travel to Furman for his defensive secondary’s games there. At some points in 2021, you could find Tommy and Payton on the Clinton Red Devil sideline, with Kim and Pierce watching from stairs leading to Keith Richardson Field at Wilder Stadium. Gracie was somewhere in the stands, likely the students’ section; she has played Red Devil varsity girls’ tennis since she was in the 7th grade.
She got interested in 4th or 5th grade - she hit her first ball over the fence, something that baseball standouts Pierce and Payton would admire. “I came home and told my mom, I think this where I can be successful,” Gracie said.
She has played #3 and #4 singles during her career. Her most memorable moment was in Upstate SC’s tennis capital - Belton - during the Hall of Fame tournament, advancing to the doubles finals against AC Flora. One reason it was memorable, there was a hurricane coming, although the day turned out perfect weather for tennis (in high school, the girls’ season is in the fall). She was contacted by Johnson University, Columbia College, Newberry College and Piedmont College, but “(those) never really felt right,” she said. “Brevard is very laid back.”
CHS Athletics Director Louie Alexander told Gracie and her family, “You and several others have built our program to where it is. Brevard College is a great place to go. I’m proud of you and wish you nothing but the best.”
Spangler is unsure of a major but whatever she decides, she’s pretty sure she’ll stay on for at least a Master’s degree. Brevard’s experimental learning program allow students to investigate their interests. She has thought about coaching.
“I’ve seen a lot of sports,” Gracie said. “That’s all I grew up around.”

I will ALWAYS share with you the super cool finds that I come across, and y’all, this one is on my FAVORITES list!
I do not have a garbage disposal in my sink, so this is GENIUS!!
Do you know how disgusted I get when I have to dig goop and muck out of the drain in the kitchen sink? UGH!! It’s the bane of my existence!
This is a “Sink Basket” that attaches right to the corner of your sink, and is there to catch all the gross odds and ends that usually end up stopping up the sink.
You can pour cans of food directly through this “strainer.” It will catch the food, and drain the fluid.
You can peel your veggies, or crack your hard boiled eggs right over this basket, and drop the mess into the basket instead of the sink.
You can even use it to hold and drain kitchen sponges and scrubbers. Help to eliminate that soggy mildew smell.
We even put one in our shower, and hold mesh sponges and razors.
It is so stinkin’ easy to put together. It just uses a suction cup to secure to the sink.
Seriously, this little $13 gadget has changed our lives! You think I’m being dramatic. I don’t have to dig out food gunk from the sink anymore. THAT is life changing my friends!
You can get your own sink basket right on the Amazon website! You’re welcome.
Here is another inexpensive, AWESOME find that I use on the daily! It is a milk frother, and I LOVE it!!

Bob Dylan's 'Retrospectrum' debuts at the Modern Art Museum, Shanghai
Retrospectrum features more than 250 of Bob Dylan's artworks in an array of media, with important works loaned from private collections around the world. The artist's diverse creations include oil, acrylic and watercolor painting, as well as his ink, pastel and charcoal drawings and distinctive ironwork sculptures.
'The exhibition provides visitors with a unique opportunity to view Dylan's journey in the visual arts as well as an introduction to the artist's singular stature as a singer, songwriter, recording artist and concert performer reflected in iconic elements from his storied career' said the exhibition's artistic director Mr. Shai Baitel.
Bob Dylan says of the exhibition, 'Seeing many of my works years after I completed them is a fascinating experience. I don't really associate them with any particular time or place or state of mind, but view them as part of a long arc; a continuum that begins with the way I go forth in the world and changes direction as my perception is shaped and altered by life. I can be as profoundly influenced by events in Morretes, Brazil as I am by the man who sells me El País in Madrid. Shanghai is a city so rich in culture and history, and I couldn't be happier that Retrospectrum is being exhibited there.'
Among the artworks featured in Retrospectrum are some of the artist's earliest ink sketches first published in 1973's Writings and Drawings that illustrated and compiled Dylan's lyrics up until that time. These drawings are shown alongside works from last year's Mondo Scripto series, in which Dylan revisited some of his most renowned lyrics, hand-writing and illustrating them in his unique hand. The exhibition also features the iconic Train Tracks paintings representing The Drawn Blank Series (2008) that first brought Bob Dylan's visual artworks to critical and popular acclaim. The exhibition of 140 of these works in Chemnitz, Germany in 2007 established Dylan's credentials as a fine artist.
Retrospectrum also features paintings from Dylan's The New Orleans Series and The Asia Series (from 2012 and 2010 respectively), inspired by the artist's own travels, as well as works from his hugely popular The Beaten Path series (2015 - present), that includes the monumental landscape painting Endless Highway III (2016) that exemplifies Dylan's appreciation for the beauty of America's landscape and captures anticipation for the road ahead. As with the earlier The Drawn Blank Series, there is an emphasis on journey and transition in The Beaten Path works that reflects a life spent on the road.
Among the artist's most rarely seen pieces that feature in Retrospectrum are his industrial ironworks, created from repurposed objects that speak to America's industrial past. First exhibited in London in 2013, the ironworks reveal the artist's little-known fascination with welding and metalwork. Retrospectrum will also premiere a brand-new, large-scale and dramatic installation of new acrylic on canvas paintings.

Anti-IRE1p Antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, Western Blotting, Immunocytochemistry and Immunofluorescence. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band at approximately 110 kDa in Western Blots of specific cell lysates and tissues.
Shipping & Handling
Expiration date is one (1) year from date of receipt.
Accumulation of malfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) and the upregulation of the ER molecular chaperones GRP78 and GRP 94. These proteins are normally bound to ER transmembrane proteins such as IRE1p and ATF6 but ER stress causes their dissociation. This allows IRE1p, a serine-threonine protein kinase to transduce the unfolded protein signal from the ER to the nucleus. IRE1p also has an endoribonuclease activity that is required to splice X-box binding protein (XBP1) mRNA converting it to a potent UPR transcriptional activation. Depletion of IRE1p through the expression of a dominant negative form of IRE1p has no effect on transfected cells, but cell death via apoptosis occurs under stress conditions that cause unfolded proteins to accumulate in the ER. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

I have a lot of data (Terabytes) on a external drive that i need to process. The current set up is to copy some of the data to a local machine and process it, write the processed info back to the hard drive, then repeat until all data is processed. The copying back and forth is making this an inefficient way to go.
Is it possible to process the data directly on the hard drive without having to copy?
Yes, it should be straightforward, what is the issue you are having? Can you give more information about your workflow?
Thanks. I am interested in how to set this up. Is it as simple as just creating a project on the external hard drive and just running the code from there?
Yes, R works with on-memory data (on most scenarios) so actually it doesn't matter much where the file is located since in order to process it you have to load it in memory.
A faster connection between the computer doing the processing and a hard drive is the simple* way to increase the input/output speed. You could improve the connection or install R on a closer computer. If it's a database server, do the heavy work in the database (which can be safely assumed as very close to the data).
* If only it were simple
If possible, consider compressing data into .zip
files before moving them to the external drive. That way, there's less data to transfer back and forth. R has functions for doing this: zip
, and gzfile
Differences between RAM and storage memory in where they're physically located and what they do:
Both RAM and hard drive memory are referred to as memory, which often causes confusion.
RAM stands for Random Access Memory. Physically, it is a series of chips in your computer. When your computer is turned on, it loads data into RAM . Programs that are currently running, and open files, are stored in RAM ; anything you are using is running in RAM somewhere...
When you save a document it goes on a hard drive, or another type of media storage device. Typically, this type of storage is magnetic, and does not depend on electricity to remember what is written on it. However, it's much slower than RAM .

title: This vein detecting tech is for easier less painful blood draws

text:
Anand Mahindra shares a video of new vein detecting technology, aided by infrared light. “Using infrared light to locate veins. Saving the pain from repeated attempts to find a vein when drawing blood,” Mahindra wrote while sharing the video on X. The video depicts exactly how this technology has been able to make blood withdrawal less painful and easier.
Impact on the Medical Experience
According to Mahindra, even the rudest, least glamorous of inventions have the potential to alter a great deal of our medical experiences and quality of life. He lauded the vein detecting technology for its potential to quash a good amount of discomfort and difficulty one goes through at the time of drawing blood.
Public Response and Views
Since being shared, the video has garnered over 680,000 views. There were many comments from users driving home their views and sharing their personal experiences. One of the users wrote, “This is brilliant and could prevent a lot of phobias. From personal experience, the practicality of this would have saved several traumas. Helps the professional and the patient.”
One more user commented, “We want this Tech at local blood test centers; last year, my yearly check-up nurse did four punctures in my hands.” This story shows the practical need for such technology in everyday medical settings.
Personal Stories and Endorsements
One more person wrote, “This is going to be so useful. My mom has this issue when we do blood tests for her, and it takes an experienced person to find the vein. This technology can empower so many people in the medical field.”
These comments reflect the general demand for smart solutions in medical procedures, particularly where they help alleviate some discomfort to the patient or give an edge in terms of efficiency.
Anand Mahindra’s thumbs-up on this infrared light vein detecting technology has been all over cyberspace. Such an overwhelmingly positive response, is, therefore, indicative that such innovation is one of the more integral parts of upgrading medical procedures and the general care accorded to patients.

Learn the power of slowing down
We are often in a hurry to achieve things. We complain when things don’t work efficiently, when public transportation is not on time, or when the person in front of us is walking too slowly. We get annoyed when things aren’t delivered on time, when others don’t respond quickly enough, and most often when we don’t see results. Even when we are at our most relaxed, we still get annoyed when our expectations are not met. And yes, most of us are guilty of this behaviour even on the most relaxing yoga retreat.
AVOID FALLING INTO THE ‘RESULTS’ TRAP
Going on a retreat is a great way to disconnect from the stressors of daily life, to explore new places, make new friends, and to rediscover our sense of adventure. However, even in a stress-free environment, we can sometimes find ourselves falling into the usual trap of looking for results, and making comparisons with others in terms of progress. For example, thoughts like ‘I wish I could touch my toes’ or, ‘I wish I could stand up on the surfboard’ are not uncommon.
For many of us, doing something for the first time – like yoga or surfing – can bring up feelings of anxiety, irritation, or even disappointment. Of course, it’s not unreasonable to expect quick results. But when our expectations are not met, our reactions can start to cause more harm than good, and the purpose of going on a retreat to reconnect with ourselves can be lost.
FIND POWER IN SLOWING DOWN
The power of slowing down is often underestimated. Learning a new skill like surfing or yoga requires a great amount of effort and time. And not everything has to be a competition. You’d be surprised by how much you can actually enjoy something when you slow it down. Rediscover how to breathe underwater, or how to balance on one leg. Remember how fun it used to be to do these things as a child?
So the next time you are having a lesson, whether it’s yoga, surfing or whatever it is you’re learning, let go of all goals and deadlines you might have set for yourself. Instead, take a deep breath, and look around you. Notice, as if you are noticing for the first time, where you are, whom you are with, and how you got to where you are. Maybe there is no new skill to learn. Maybe all the skills you want you already have. And maybe, you can make a little room for feelings of gratitude just are you are. If you trip or fall, it’s okay; it’s all part of the journey.
Slow down, enjoy the simple things, and just be.

title: Pink unbelievably toned physique cut out swimsuit photos

text:
Pink has wowed fans with a confident red cut-out swimsuit look which shows off her amazingly toned physique.
The musician, appearing on the cover of Women's Health magazine, is in fantastic shape – and clearly delighted about it. See Pink's amazing fitness in action in the video below.
WATCH: Behind the scenes of Pink's music video Trustfall
Dressed in a diagonally-cut bright red swimsuit from Beach Riot, the star, who is no stranger to wowing in a bikini, showed off her tanned shoulders and legs in the cover photo, along with her impressively defined as well as tanned midriff. The singer was also wearing a silver foiled Adidas jacket which reflects her sunny disposition in the photos.
The singer was photographed in other outfits for the magazine, including a further two bikini looks. Some more relaxed ensembles featured sports bras as well as hoodies and track pants, and she even wore a majestically flowing white cape in one picture.
Pink looked amazing in this cover shoot
Pink's looks were all sporty, reflecting her healthy, workout driven lifestyle which sees her capable of being able to perform aerial and acrobatic stunts – while singing – during her live performances.
In her interview with Women's Health, The Truth About Love singer revealed she was glowing thanks to the fact that she has reached a point in her life where she now feels stronger than she ever has before, mentally and physically.
Pink is known for her stunt filled performances
Pink said she no longer sees limits to what she can achieve: "I don’t see the end of the road as the end of the road," she said. "I just see it as a place to start building."
She continued: "I ferociously attack life. I feel like when the going gets tough, that’s when you dig deeper and double down. And I'm constantly saying, 'What will I do with this one precious life?' I'm going to do too much. I'm gonna slide in sideways until the end, going, 'HOLY [expletive], DID YOU SEE THAT!?'"
The singer admitted her attitude to life has changed over the last few years: "COVID slowed down life in a 'what matters' kind of way for me," she said.
Pink with her family in 2022
"Now all I want is to put things in the world that are meaningful and see my kids grow up," the A-lister, who is mother to two children, Willow, 11, and Jameson, six, with her partner of 17 years Carey Hart explained.
The 43-year-old was photographed by Andrew Macpherson for the magazine as part of her promotions for her new album Trustfall and her corresponding album tour.
