Veteran teachers talk about changes in education over three decades
From technology expectations to school culture, teachers have had to adjust the way they teach.
By Liz Ramos
| 11:00 a.m. January 10, 2023
Victoria Short, right, has been a teacher at William H. Bashaw Elementary School for 33 years. No matter the changes in education, she still loves teaching her students and building relationships with them.
They started in the days of overhead projectors and encyclopedias.
Victoria Short and Margaret Gaitens, second grade teachers at William H. Bashaw Elementary School, are now teaching at a time when nearly all their students have their own computers, teachers have Promethean boards, and Google has almost all the answers.
Education has constantly changed throughout the years, and longtime teachers have had to make adjustments to keep up.
"It's the only job that you could do all the time for all these years, and it never gets easier," said Short, who has been teaching for 33 years. "They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Well, you can, and these dogs have to learn the new tricks or we'll get sent to the pound."
Gaitens, who has taught for 34 years, agreed.
"You're learning new curriculums, new standards and expectations," Gaitens said.
Over the past 30 years, Short and Gaitens, along with Bobbi Colson, a Lakewood Ranch High School web design and computer animation teacher, and Katy Kimbrell, Braden River Middle School's Exceptional Student Education department chair, have seen changes in technology, classroom strategies, safety and security, and more.
Standards and expectations
Gaitens said expectations and rigor for students and teachers have risen since she first started. For example, her second graders are expected to read passages that are several pages long compared to 30 years ago when her students were reading two or three sentences per page.
They're vocabulary is far advanced from their early years in teaching. For example, she said "obscure" was a word in her lesson in December.

Cameron Dakin Dairy and Bunyak Club Calves lead the way providing animals to show at the annual fair in Palmetto.
"That would never have happened when we first started teaching," Gaitens said.
Gaitens said by second grade, her students are already learning how to write expository, opinion and narrative essays, which used to be taught in high school.
When she started working at Southeast High School in 1995, she was teaching keyboarding and Microsoft Office. They were skills students learned in high school before going to college or into the workforce. Her students now have learned Microsoft Office and keyboarding at an earlier age, and her classes have become more focused on topics like web design and computer animation.
"The diversification of jobs, careers and pathways is phenomenal now," Colson said. "We're a small cog trying to help show them what all is out there and available for them. Not everybody's going to be college bound, but because of the advent of technology and software, you don't have to be to get a rewarding, satisfying, well-paid job."
Colson said there's been more of a focus on career and technical education with teachers of those classes having their "feet held to the fire" to validate the worth of their programs. Students are working toward industry certifications as early as middle school.
"What a leg up for kids," she said. "This is their first baby steps into the business arena. Fifteen-20 years ago, you showed (employers) your high school diploma, you showed them your college diploma. Employers would go, 'OK, so what else do you know?' They'd hear crickets. We're giving (students) a provable set of skills."
When the expectations of students were lower, Gaitens said teachers had more creative freedom in the classroom with their lessons. Now teachers have to keep their lessons moving to follow structured guidelines.
Kimbrell is finding more students are needing extra support in the classroom, and more students are having behavioral issues.
Katy Kimbrell, who is now the Exceptional Student Education department chair at Braden River Middle School, reads to students earlier in her career. Kimbrell has been teaching since 1983.
She said schools work with the community to find mentors for students, and the district has contracts with psychologists and social workers to help address any issues students might be having.
When Kimbrell was starting her career in 1983, ESE students were more isolated and weren't in class as much with general education teachers.
Kimbrell worked with administrators to have ESE students more incorporated into the general education classrooms. She would work with the student, parents and general ed teacher to build a plan and support system for the student.
Kimbrell, Gaitens and Short said with all the responsibilities and requirements of teachers, they're working well past school hours, and they're working harder than ever before.
Kimbrell loves developing relationships with students to be able to better support them, but she's juggling so many students and trying to keep up with all of her work that she might not get to spend as much time as she would like with each student.
"There's just not that time in the school day anymore," she said. "What has changed so much is it just seems like you could finish up your day and have a clean desk and then go home and come back the next morning. It's really not that way anymore."
Kimbrell, Colson, Short and Gaitens went from seeing one computer in the classroom at the beginning of their careers. If teachers wanted their students to use a computer, they went to computer labs. Now, nearly every student has a computer.
"The amount of knowledge these kids have access to is phenomenal," Colson said. "It's truly mind blowing. They're doing it all with their phones."

Teachers have access to countless resources online to enhance their lessons and engage their students.
For example, Short and Gaitens use a program called Epic that allows students to type in any topic they want to learn about, and the program will provide a list of books on that topic.
In Colson's classes, if she and her students are stumped on finding a solution to a problem, they can always go to YouTube to learn.
"There's a video for everything on how to do things," Colson said. "Technology has been the big game changer in education."
Colson said they're using technology, like 3D printers, and software that wasn't always readily and easily available to students.
"We're finding all the ways to do something with software that the books don't tell you," she said.
Kimbrell said technology has made it easier for teachers to be able to keep track of the progress students are making throughout the year. Standardized testing has changed over the years, and teachers are now getting the results of those tests faster than ever before.
Teachers are more easily able to share test results and work with parents on how to help each student progress.

Manatee County is no exception to the national teacher shortage.
Gaitens and Short have always worked at Bashaw Elementary School. In the early years of their careers, they said teachers would want to teach at the school and stay for at least 15 years. In the past few years, they said they're seeing more teachers leave after only a few years on the job.
"If a spot opened up (at Bashaw), it was gobbled up," Gaitens said. "Now, it's very difficult to find people that are going into this profession. I think a lot of it has to do with the workload, plus the salary."
Colson said teachers aren't getting the respect they deserve, and the work never stops even during summer vacation.
"New teachers nowadays, if you can get them past that five-year mark, you've got them," she said. "But getting them to that five-year mark is getting harder. Give us the respect, give us the resources we need and let us do what we've been trained to do."
Short and Gaitens said when they started their careers, schools weren't surrounded by fences with gates. People could come on campus without a problem.
"It's for protection and to keep people out, but unfortunately it makes it difficult for people to be in an inviting environment," Gaitens said.
An added safety precaution is the School District of Manatee County's Guardians program, which was started in 2018. The program has an armed security officer, called a guardian, at each of the district's elementary schools.
Schools are required to do lockdown drills on top of fire drills and other safety drills.
Colson said schools are no more dangerous than they were 20 years ago, but rather people have a greater awareness of potential threats to schools.
"Do I think the number of guns and stuff like that is more than 20 or 30 years ago, no," she said. "I think the recognition they're in school catches us all by surprise. We're becoming much more aware and conscious of the things that have always been there."

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures gave up early gains to finish with a modest loss Monday, extending the precious metal's sharp decline from last week, as volatility continued to dominate commodities trading.
Gold for April delivery fell $1.30 to end at $918.70 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Many commodity prices, including some metals, rebounded Monday following their plunge last week, but analysts see more volatility in the short term and some are questioning the fundamentals of the commodity bull market. Read more.
"I would expect further volatility and range-bound, choppy trading in gold this week," said Zachary Oxman, a senior trader at Wisdom Financial.
"It's tough to say that we will be supported here, though, as a continued liquidation of long side trades continues to hit the market," Oxman said. "Any stock positive news should be met by more gold selling and rotation out of commodities."
"I would expect further volatility and range-bound, choppy trading in gold this week."
After hitting a record high of $1,034 an ounce last Monday, gold's subsequent sharp drop led it to post an 8.3% decline for the shortened trading week. U.S. markets, including the Nymex, were closed on Friday.
"It will be interesting to see whether the flood of money that has recently left commodities continues to move back into the recovering stock and bond markets," said Edward Meir, an analyst at MF Global, in a research note.
"We suspect that the correction in commodities still has some ways to go, and we could push somewhat lower from here in most complexes," Meir said.
The plunge in commodities last week was fueled by hedge funds and other fast-money players liquidating positions to meet margin calls, according to some analysts.
The margin calls have been precipitated by the fast-falling value of many assets used as collateral, such as mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other assets hit by the credit crisis.
The dollar pared euro gains Monday but extended its rise against the yen, as stocks rallied after data showed U.S. February existing homes sales beat expectations and rose for the first time in seven months. See Currencies.
The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six currencies, was at 72.930, up from 72.870 before the data.
Boosted by a record decline in prices, the U.S. housing market showed signs of stability in February, with sales of existing home rising modestly for the first time in seven months, the National Association of Realtors reported Monday. See Economic Report.
Resales of U.S. homes and condos rose 2.9% to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 5.03 million, ahead of the 4.85 million pace expected by economists surveyed by MarketWatch.
Also on the Nymex, May silver futures rose 26 cents to end at $17.11 an ounce. April platinum gained $11.90 to end at $1,889.20 an ounce, while June palladium dropped $9.65 to finish at $436.40 an ounce.
May copper gained 5 cents to end at $3.62 a pound.
Crude-oil futures dropped 1%, extending their decline from last week when they tumbled nearly $7 in a broad commodities sell-off. See Futures Movers.
The Amex Gold Bugs Index HUI, -1.87% fell 2% to 430.14 points.
As for the sector's exchange-traded funds, the StreetTracks Gold Trust ETF GLD, +0.07% rose 0.2% at $90.10, the iShares Silver Trust ETF SLV, +0.07% gained 0.5% at $167.87 and the Market Vectors-Gold Miners ETF GDX, -1.48% dropped 1.8% to $46.93.

Q: Plt imshow didn't automatically deals with negative value (python) I'm currently implementing Difference of Gaussian algorithm. So far I've managed to create the DoG in each octave and form the pyramid. First all image is already in greyscale, second We know that each image in each DoG level is created by subtracting the current image with the previous image (this will result with some negative values).
Now I want to plot this using matplotlib. From the documentation, I read "imshow automatically deals with negative values by scaling the lightness values appropriately, so the smallest (negative) values will be displayed black, the values close to zero will be gray, and the highest values will be white." so I try it like this
plt.imshow(imae, cmap="gray")
but somehow I still got the greyscale image instead of black and white like in some example here:
https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2019/10/detailed-guide-powerful-sift-technique-image-matching-python/
Then I tried to set the vmin to zero and it works. I just don't understand why didn't It behave as stated in the documentation by default
** EDIT (included some source code) **
This is what my DoG octave look like
def DoG_octave(gaussian_octave):
    octave = []
    for i in range(0, len(gaussian_octave)-1):
      next_image = np.subtract(gaussian_octave[i+1], gaussian_octave[i])
      octave.append(next_image)

    return octave

This will take one gaussian octave level from the gaussian pyramid and return also one level of DoG octave to create the DoG pyramid, and for each image in this level ('imae'), I display them using imshow, hence
plt.imshow(imae, cmap="gray")

Requiem for a Dream – Aronofsky's brilliant drug addiction movie
Click on the image to buy the Region 2 DVD with free worldwide delivery
This powerful movie about drug addiction and materialist society is co-written by Hubert Selby, Jr. – and based on his own brilliant, harrowing novel of the same name – and director Darren Aronofsky. Aronofksy is known for a number of distinctive films, including most recently The Black Swan, besides Pi, his first, best and most controversial film, besides this one here; The Wrestler (which gave Mickey Rourke his come back role and opened the doors for him to Hollywood once again, albeit in a limited fashion compared with his earlier success and fame); and, of course, the highly wackidoodle The Fountain). Requiem for a Dream, both the film and the original novel are overwhelming, incredible experiences: nightmarish, and provocative, and always convincing about the world of drug-addiction (both illegal and legal). (You can buy the book with free worldwide delivery here and the Region 1 DVD with same delivery here. For a Region 2 DVD, just click on the image to your left. )
What makes this especially disturbing and powerful – though never exploitative or morally judging, like some movies about drug addiction – are the brilliant montage sequences that inter-play between the drama (trauma) of Burstyn's story and three other lives. These are her son, played by the actor Jared Leto; his co-accomplice drug-dealing and drug-taking friend, played very well by the under-rated Marlon Wayans and mostly known for his silly Hollywood comedies; and a moving performance by Jennifer Connelly, drug-addicted, estranged from her rich parents, girlfriend to Leto's character, and who gives in to sexual exploitation in exchange for the drugs she so desperately needs. Recommended without reservation; albeit with a caveat…It's important to note that if you feel you could not cope with the ugly, underbelly reality of drug-addiction, then I'd stay well-clear of the film.
However, should you wish to – and I hope you do – there are three strong justifications reasons to watch it/buy it/rent it and know that it is truly one of the most stand-out films of recent years:
1. It has the most amazing, deservedly Oscar-winning performance for Best Actress, as performed by Ellen Burstyn and is truly one of the best performances ever in cinema, by an actor or actress. She is truly phenomenal as she portrays her character's devastating downward psychological spiral as a result of doctor-prescribed diet pills. The only disgusting, shameful thing about the Oscars in this regard, is that in 2001, when Burstyn was up for nomination, bizarrely, incomprehensibly, Julia Roberts won for her pathetically easy role as a loud-foul-mouthed lawyer's assistant in Erin Brockovich (understandably, some critics and bloggers referred to the character as Erin Brockobitch – perhaps a bit strong and it sounds cruel, but I think the term reflects the strength of feeling if injustice in awarding the Oscar to Roberts and not to Burstyn).
2. The ensemble cast works incredibly well together, from Jared Leto, to Marlon Wayans (who should have gone on to do to bigger and better, more demanding roles – he clearly has the talent), Jennifer Connelly (also her best role to date), besides all the supporting cast.
3. The original musical score (by Clint Mansell), cinematography (Matthew Libatique) and editing (Jay Rabinowitz) are truly outstanding. Clearly a tremendous amount of artistic dedication from all involved in the film and energy went into the structuring and filming, to make this the tour de force it undoubtedly is.

Q: Trying to use spanish with pyautogui I'm trying to make a set of code that listens for a spanish voice and types out the text in spanish. Below is the code.
import speech_recognition as sr
import pyautogui
from pyautogui import press, typewrite, hotkey

r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
  for i in range(3):
    audio = r.listen(source)
    print('Done!')
    text = r.recognize_google(audio, language = 'es-MX')
    print(text)
    pyautogui.typewrite(text)
    hotkey('enter')

So, everything works completely fine, but when something is spoken with a letter like an ñ or é or other accents, it will not type them out. Does anyone know how to add a language to this? (I have tried changing my computers keyboard language)

A: It seems like pyautogui library doesn't support languages except English,
so you can use pyperclip library to copy text, then use hotkey('ctrl','v')
Check out this:
https://github.com/asweigart/pyautogui/issues/237


Back in 2011 I went for 87 days without an iPhone which was a challenge but has stuck with me and always made me more aware of how much time I spend glued to my tiny screen.
Well anyway, i'm running the same experiment again, but this time it's not through choice, it's because the battery in my 26 month old iPhone7 is broken and needs to be replaced. Apple did run a programme for a while to replace batteries for £25, but that now seems to be over and it's a cost of nearly £57 for a new battery.
So it's back out with the trusty Nokia 6300, that still works, despite being in a drawer for the last eight years. I charged it up and it worked first time. It's been on my desk all day with a few calls made and received and it's still showing 100% battery.
The camera on it is useless. It claims to deliver a 1600×1200 image size at the highest resolution. It won't connect to my mac via bluetooth and when you send an image via multimedia, it scales it to 640×480. So it's basically a standalone phone with little connectivity.
So one day in, what have I missed?
Whatsapp – but only because we have a little group that goes for a walk on a Monday night and I have missed out on the organisation of that, so I hope they don't forget me.
Fitbit – I have been a bit obsessed with steps and heart rate for a few years and whilst my actual fitbit measures it, I can't see the weekly figures.
And what positives have I noticed already?
You don't really need Google Maps for 99% of your journeys – But I always seemed to have it on, justifying it in my head by saying I needed to know about traffic.
Apple have said 5-7 working days for the return of the iPhone, so I'll see how I get on. That's not exactly a speedy service for a phone I use for work. The cynic in me would say they are trying to trick you into a getting a new phone. In truth, I almost fell for it too, but thought this would be more valuable to see how life without an iPhone goes again.
It went off this morning and is due back by the middle of next week.
Let's see if I can cope.
Organic Stars in search results were outlawed for many years by Google as there were too many people 'gaming' the system and using results from all of their products and pushing them against every product they own individually. This is still obviously outlawed and if you do it, you will get a Google penalty.
But the good news is that there is now a super simple way to get Organic stars in your SERPS, just by adding your aggregate rating wrapped up in a simple Organization schema. They can improve CTR by a huge percentage, so for so little effort, there's very little else that delivers more for your buck. This is what they look like when they are delivering.
At present, you do need a reviews provider to give you these scores, but it may be possible to gain them from Google's own rating if you can deliver a dynamic link into the Google page with your aggregate rating.
It is important to note that when you add it to your page, it's worth testing it through Google's own Structured data tester to ensure you have the code exactly right. It's also CRITICAL to note that if you miss any of the elements off above, it may well pass, but you do need ALL of these elements to gain stars.
So it's that simple. Add it to your home page, wait a week or so and you should get stars. I have used this many hundreds of times and it works every time!
Good luck, and please feel free to post examples of stars in the comments when they arrive on your site.

PlayStation 'Powers' Renewed for Season 2 in 2016
After years spent in development hell just getting to air in the first place, PlayStation's Powers TV series adaptation is officially here to stay. The gaming network has confirmed that Powers will return for Season 2 in 2016, keeping Detectives Walker and Pilgrim in the superhero game another year.
PlayStation 'Powers' Behind the Scenes Featurette
We're admittedly intrigued to see what Sony comes up with for its first PlayStation original TV series, adapting Bendis and Oeming's revered superhero comic Powers. We've seen the trailer and a few photos, but the latest eight-minute preview goes behind-the-scenes to deliver our most comprehensive look at the world of Powers before its March 10 debut.
Powers TV Series Photo: Sharlto Copley as Christian Walker
It's taken a good long while for Brian Michael Bendis' revered 'Powers' comic to finally get its own series, but with Sony TV and the Playstation Network officially backing a new adaptation with Sharlto Copley in the lead, it's time to suit up. Meet our new Detectives Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim in the first official photo from forthcoming superhero drama 'Powers'!

This morning, I hopped on the JetBlue version of the new Boston-New York shuttle. This may be the shortest flight review in history, since most of the action took place at the airport, particularly on the Boston side. Welcome to the new shuttle, but the JetBlue version.
Few routes have suffered as much from airline service cuts as the shuttle, particularly the Boston-New York route. In the "good ol' days," the shuttles were the pride and joy of airlines. Above average service to business customers, who could simply walk up and board the next plane. Fill up one? They'll roll out another. The shuttle was so prestigious, in fact, that some saw it as a stepping stone to the presidency. As airlines and their customers cut back, though, the carriers reduced amenities. Sure, you may get a bagel onboard now, but you could also find yourself on a claustrophobic regional jet.
The simit. Mustard clearly indicates that it's more pretzel than bagel.
Once onboard, other than the free alcohol, you won't notice any differences. But for a 45-minute flight, what do you need?
Now, here's the best part: JetBlue has introductory fares as low as $34 one-way. And because JetBlue is doing it, all the cool kids have to, as well. In fact, American has fares as low as $61 round-trip. The days of the mileage run may be done, but if you need a few segments or elite qualifying miles, this is your run.
There's only one negative to the trip, and that's on the New York end. The flight arrives in (or departs from, depending on where you are going) the A Concourse of the B Terminal at La Guardia. You could be forgiven for not even knowing that there was such a concourse, given how desolate it is. When Au Bon Pain qualifies as fine dining, you know you need a gut renovation.
But if the terminal is the worst thing you can say about a flight, you're not doing too badly. Enjoy your cheap trip to New York on the new JetBlue Shuttle.

Lilac 'Lavender Lady' - 3 Gal.
Some Lilacs seem reluctant to bloom but that will never be the case with 'Lavender Lady'. You will be amazed how it completely covers itself with 6 to 9" long cones of extremely fragrant lavender flowers in early May each year. This immense show of bloom happens in cold climates or warm and it will outshine other Lilacs in your landscape by the sheer number of blooms produced.

Sony is changing the perks you'll receive from a PS Plus subscription
PlayStation Plus users to lose perks in 2019
PlayStation Plus users will no longer receive free PS3 and PS Vita games as part of their subscription starting from March 2019.
Subscribers will no longer get free PS3 and PS Vita games
Sony is making some sweeping changes as the year draws to a close and this one was announced via email to PlayStation Plus subscribers – in March 2019 Sony has confirmed that PS3 and PS Vita games will no longer be given away as part of the PS Plus subscription service.
The service has long held value for its customers by providing a number of benefits each month, most notably being two free games for the PS4, PS3 and PS Vita. This will no longer be the case from 8 March 2019 when subscribers will only gain access to the free PS4 titles, which may cause people to think twice before purchasing the service over the Christmas period for the coming year.
Make sure you take a look at the most anticipated games right here.
Sony has confirmed that the other aspects of the PS Plus subscription will remain unchanged via its blog earlier this year: "We'll continue to prioritize the benefits you receive through your PS Plus membership, such as online multiplayer, online game save storage, PS4 monthly games, and exclusive PS Store discounts across content and network services."
If Sony decides to adjust the price of the subscription service to reflect these changes remains to be seen, but we don't think it's particularly likely.

Do you hire for fit? Many companies say they do, but not all of them are executing it well. Here's a look at how and why you should hire for fit, and why we think it trumps experience and education.
At VisionSpark, we often refer to hiring for fit and match as "hiring for your Who." You should never hire anyone that doesn't have the right "Who" for your company.
All of these are identified through assessment and informed by your unique company culture.
A hiring-for-fit process gives you a competent candidate who is most likely to succeed, perform, and be most productive in your role. This delivers maximum value per hire and helps you avoid the high costs of mis-hiring and employee turnover. Cultural fit is associated with positive outcomes that include greater employee commitment, superior job performance, longevity with the organization, and greater job satisfaction (see, for example, this 2005 study by Kristof-Brown, Zimmerman and Johnson).
To better understand how your corporate values inform the hiring process, a great place to start is our post on the EOS process.
Why hire for fit and match over education and experience?
Experience and education are certainly important, but they aren't the only thing you should be looking at — above all others — when making a hiring decision. Here are four things employers need to know about fixating on education and experience at the expense of other candidate qualities.
The smartest, most highly-educated candidate may not fill the necessary job functions best out of all your candidates, and they may not play as nicely with others. Pick the candidate best for your job, at your company, not the one with the most impressive degrees.
Often, employers will start out with an idea that the best person for their role should have a tightly-defined educational background or a certain number of years' worth of experience in a specific industry. The danger is that you will define away your perfect candidate. If you find someone who fits your "Who" to the letter, but they have experience in another industry, or a degree in a different field, or haven't met your minimum years of experience, wouldn't you still want to meet them? Being overly conservative with your hiring requirements limits your candidate pool. You are better off being able to consider, compare and contrast options from a rich pool of applicants.
Resumes are marketing documents that present candidates' exaggerated versions of their education and experience. Beware the charms of a resume. Instead, get excited about the degree to which a candidate matches your "Who" and the requirements of your role.
Keep in mind that if you do find a candidate who is a perfect fit for your "Who" and also has a highly credentialed resume, with strong education and experience, they are likely to command a high salary. On the other hand, a candidate who is a great fit for your "Who" but has a more average background can still offer strong potential to your company. Plus, they deliver greater value, as you aren't paying a premium for first-class education and experience that you don't actually need. In fact, this "sweet spot" is where we recommend most companies to focus their hiring.
Are your attempts to hire for fit and match missing the mark?
How do you know if this applies to your company?
2) Prior team agreement on the specific, defined qualities a successful hire would have in this role . . .
Then you can't be rejecting candidates for poor fit and cultural mismatch — yours aren't even defined!
Hiring for fit and match is not an excuse to pick favorites.
Employers in this situation who claim to be motivated by fit and match are likely making decisions based on gut instinct and personal affinity. Such hiring methods still have a 50% chance of resulting in a mis-hire, are a poor gauge of future performance, and are prone to bias. Worse, because these employers believe they are already hiring for fit and match, correcting their hiring process is not even on their radar.
How does your hiring process stack up? Are you well-positioned to make the "right-fit" hires your business needs to compete? A new year is the perfect time to re-evaluate and start fresh.
VisionSpark is hosting a Choosing Winners Systems Training in Columbus on Friday, January 29th. This is a chance for employers to learn how to implement their own strategic hiring process. Read the great things workshop attendees have said about this training here.

The fuel cell vehicle is fitted with a Type III commercial hydrogen tank. With 1.75kg of H2 stored at about 350 bar pressure, it has a range of 250km under typical Indian road conditions at moderate speeds of 60-65kph.
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and KPIT have successfully run trials of India's first Hydrogen Fuel Cell (HFC) prototype car running on an indigenously developed fuel cell stack at CSIR National Chemical Laboratory, Pune.
The fuel cell is a low temperature PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) type Fuel Cell that operates at 65-75 degree Centigrade, which is suitable for vehicular applications.
CSIR and KPIT have successfully developed a 10 kWe automotive-grade LT-PEMFC fuel cell stack. The heart of the PEM fuel cell technology includes the membrane electrode assembly, which is wholly a CSIR knowhow. KPIT brought in its expertise in stack engineering which included lightweight metal bipolar plate and gasket design, development of the balance of plant (BoP), system integration, control software and electric powertrain that enabled running the fuel cell vehicle. The fuel cell stack uses extremely thin metal bipolar plates, thus reducing the stack weight by about two-thirds.
Indigenous PEM fuel cell technology
In 2016, CSIR-NCL and CSIR-CECRI as part of the Industry Originated Project (IOP) category of the New Millennium Indian Technology Leadership Initiative (NMITLI) scheme partnered with KPIT for the development of an automotive grade PEM Fuel Cell technology.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell (HFC) technology uses chemical reactions between hydrogen and oxygen (from air) to generate electrical energy, eliminating the use of fossil fuels. Further, the fuel cell technology emits only water, thus cutting down the emission of harmful greenhouse gases along with other air pollutants. The technology, with further adoption and use, is poised to make the world a cleaner place with reduced air pollution levels.
The trials were run on a battery-electric passenger car platform retrofitted with the fuel cell stack. However, it is expected that the technology is more suited for commercial vehicles (CV) such as buses and trucks. Battery electric buses/ trucks require a large battery to achieve the desired operating range. In comparison, HFC technology requires a much smaller battery for a very large operating range. Hence, HFC technology offers more promise for the CV segment.
The fuel cell vehicle is fitted with a Type III commercial hydrogen tank. With capacity of around 1.75kg of H2 stored at about 350 bar pressure, the eco-friendly car should run for approximately 250km under typical Indian road conditions at moderate speeds of 60-65kph. The entire fuel cell stack and its associated components with powertrain were retro-fitted in a standard 5-seater sedan.
Commenting on this significant milestone, Ravi Pandit, chairman, KPIT said, "The technology has a great future and owing to its indigenous development, is expected to be more commercially viable than ever before. It is an important technology that will help India significantly reduce pollution and reduce our fossil fuel imports."
Prof. Ashwini Kumar Nangia, director, CSIR-NCL, while congratulating the teams on their first successful car run on hydrogen fuel cell using indigenous CSIR-NMITLI technology and KPIT as industry partner, stated that, "the time has come for renewable energy based on hydrogen as fuel to power transportation in the country. This will not only reduce the petrol, diesel import bill but hydrogen is the cleanest fuel with water as the only by-product. A long-term investment of CSIR under NMITLI in a niche energy area has come to fruition."

Fairfield School District Release Statement About The Incident From Monday Night's Basketball Game
January 25, 2023 11:42AM CST
The Fairfield School District has released the following statement in response to the events that happened at Monday night's boys basketball game against Iowa City High and the allegation that ICCSD have made against the officials of that game:
In light of some of the publicity and inaccurate reports about the gym environment and police involvement at the Fairfield vs. Iowa City, City High Boys Varsity Basketball game on Monday, January 23, 2023, FCSD is compelled to provide clarification that demonstrates our community values and the happenings that lead to the end of the game.
FCSD supports a safe environment for all, including our competitors. We commend the Fairfield and City High student bodies, athletes, coaches, and staff for demonstrating both of our community values of inclusion, safety, and respect during the game and subsequent events following the game. Despite a charged atmosphere that included the ejections of a coach, spectator, and a player altercation, Fairfield and City High students and fans followed instructions avoiding additional interactions. Fairfield and City High administrators and staff took great care to de-escalate the situation.
FCSD is aware that Iowa City, City High School administration has contacted the Iowa High School Athletic Association regarding allegations surrounding the communication between game officials and the City High basketball coaches. FCSD is willing to provide any information that might be able to assist in an investigation. After the altercation involving players, Fairfield administrators decided that the teams should take a 5-minute break in the locker rooms to allow the coaches time to regroup and calm the players. Fairfield administrators safely escorted City High coaches and players to a locker room. At this time, the City High coaches and administration decided it would be best to forfeit the game. Following the decision to forfeit, FHS administration safely escorted City High coaches and players from the locker room to their bus.
Fairfield police were called at the end of the game to support the safety of all individuals. The police did not enter the building during this event. Fairfield Police stayed at the high school and were present when the City High team was boarding the bus, and an Iowa State Patrol trooper offered to follow the bus out of town and did so without incident.

Have you ever wondered what happened to that kid behind the funny meme going around on social media? Memes—those virally-transmitted cultural symbols, images, videos, and ideas—act a lot like the flu. As they are shared by one web user after another, they eventually go viral. Unlike the flu, however, they can make instant stars out of the folks who appear in them. Which eventually begs the question: what happened to the people behind the—temporarily—famous faces? We've done a bit of research to find out.
Sammy Griner may well be one of the internet's most beloved babies. His mom uploaded a picture of little Sammy clenching his fist with a determined scowl back in 2007, and his face has since become synonymous with fist-pumping victory. We're not sure what he's doing at the moment, but in 2015, when he was eight years old, Griner leveraged his internet fame to raise over $90,000 in a Go-Fund-Me for his father, who needed a kidney transplant.
The Scumbag Steve meme makes fun of that one guy we all know—the one who's a bit of a mooch. The man behind the meme is Blake Boston, who was once a member of the rap group Beantown Mafia. Blake says no one really recognizes him from the meme these days...although something tells us he wishes they did. You can follow him on Twitter, where he goes by the handle Scumbag Steve (Real) and mostly rails against Donald Trump.
Back in June 2012, 20-year-old Laina Walker uploaded a song parody called "JB Fanvideo" to enter a contest sponsored by Justin Bieber. Stills from Walker's video quickly went viral, mostly because she looked totally cray-cray, with her wide eyes and eager expression. Dubbed "Overly Attached Girlfriend (OAG)," the meme was omnipresent for several years. Walker frequently posed for photos with fans, raised money for charity, made funny YouTube videos, and was generally very approachable and good-natured about her status as the OAG. She remains an online presence, posting YouTube videos about a variety of funny topics from her channel named Laina. It currently has close to 1.3 million followers.
In 2011, romance novelist and real-life mom Carly Phillips, which is her pen name, got a message on her Facebook page letting her know that her face had become a meme. The "Suburban Mom" meme made fun of parents who were hypocritical and kind of dorky, so Phillips was understandably upset when she found out. "I never want anyone who sees it to think that I, the real mom/person...believes any of that stuff, especially the derogatory, inflammatory, prejudiced things in there," she posted on Facebook. Phillips, whose real name is Karen Drogin, continues to write and publish romance novels, most recently those in her "Dare to Love" series.
Griffin Kiritsy was just another freshman at the University of New Hampshire when he agreed to pose for a series of shots that would be used as stock photos for college life and financial planning brochures. The "College Freshman" meme first hit Reddit in June 2011, and Kiritsy took to his blog a month later to 'fess up that the picture was of him. However, our research failed to find any kind of recent social media presence for Kiritsy.
In 2011, redditor Dave and his wife Rhiannon took their son Mason to the Museum of Natural Sciences. The goal was to have family photos taken by photographer (and fellow redditor) Jarod Knoten. When Dave got the photos back, he couldn't resist uploading a funny pic of his son to Reddit, and before you could say "viral," the Skeptical Baby meme was born. These days Skeptical Baby is probably just busy being a kid, and hopefully he's still blissfully unaware that he is the face of skepticism on the internet.
The image started on Quickmeme, and before long real-life barista Dustin Mattson became the face of annoying hipsters everywhere. Mattson, who had just been joking around with a friend taking photos, was less than thrilled about becoming a web meme, telling Eater.com, "I do find it discouraging and disappointing that there was so much exposure brought to an attempt at making a joke of a culinary industry and the professional barista." As of October 2017, he was living in Atlanta, Georgia. It is unclear whether he is still serving coffee.
Good Girl Gina is the girlfriend everybody wants to have: she's gorgeous, cool, and down with a little kink. The person behind the meme is Emma Kathrine, a Danish model who had posed for this image for a photographer, who then sold it as a stock image. A Redditor used the image to create the Good Girl Gina meme in 2011, and soon Kathrine became internet-famous. Kathrine currently works as a model and a lifestyle blogger.
The Bad Luck Brian meme came about in 2012, and it shows a kind of dorky-looking blond guy along with a caption about something disappointing or tragic that happened to him. The image was uploaded to Reddit by Brian's friend, who thought the high school portrait was too funny not to share. The real Brian continues to capitalize on his meme moniker by operating both a Facebook fan page and a YouTube channel.
The Ermahgerd Girl, also called "Gersberms" or "Berks," is featured in a meme wearing headgear and clutching an armful of "Goosebumps" novels. The meme hit Reddit in 2012, and variations of her slurred speech due to her braces took over the web. While other people have claimed to be the Ermahgerd Girl in real life, those claims were all debunked. Turns out, the real Berks girl is Maggie Connelly. Connelly is still a mysterious character, however, and not much is known about her.

When you want the look of a gown without all the discomfort, you'll find what you're looking for in this elegant and attractive dress. The v-neckline is created with the help of wrap style that meets at the waist of your dress. With a waist that looks like it was wrapped with a sash, you're going to find the kind of fit you're looking for. From the waist, multiple pleats drop down all the way to the base of the maxi length dress to create a flow with every step you take. This will help to increase airflow and maintain your comfort, even when you're active. Pockets on the sides of the dress are comfortable and maintain the casual feeling you would like when going to more elegant affairs. Long sleeves are standard fitting to allow air to flow within and maintain your comfort throughout. Worn with heels or boots, you're going to feel ready to take on the world in this dress.


This week my first bill will be heard by the Education Committee. Contact your legislators and urge them to send this bill out of committee to be heard on the House Floor!
The Bill will expand the scholarships for nursing through the Department of Education by increasing the eligibility of post-graduate work to include nonprofit hospital and healthcare practices. This will allow more nursing students to take advantage of these programs, which now only allows them to work in State facilities.
With no fiscal impact needed, this will help local students advance their education and allows them to work in our local healthcare sector. I have also started discussions with the Department of Education and Department of Labor on how to improve the way the State identifies careers and jobs needed in the future of our evolving economy. This will allow us to provide education opportunities to train our local workforce for those jobs ahead of a shortage of workers or labor crisis. I am happy to hear that our institutions of higher learning are providing these services and they are excited for expansion in this partnership.
Contact information for State Representatives can be found at https://legis.delaware.gov/House.


In 2017, we take on the stunning Island of Kyushu in Japan, looking for 40 riders who will come together with a shared passion to help others. We've had participants in the past who were carers and family members who rode in honour of lost loved ones. Fitness enthusiasts who wanted to challenge themselves and push outside of their comfort zones. Haematologist's wanting to give back to the patients they have worked with over the years.
Ride as One, Japan will be held 21-28 April 2017, cycling through iconic locations such as Hita, Beppu, Minamiaso, Asagiri, Hinaguonsen, Tateno and Kurokawa.
