However, there needs to be a transparent process in place," said Tim Green, a professor of educational technology at California State University Fullerton.Īn LAUSD spokesperson said the district sought input from teachers and administrators, surveying more than 11,000 people to determine which apps were being used and preferred by educators. "As an educational technologist, I am in favor of resources being spent on technology. But experts said in the speed in which the process took place what was often left unanswered was how the district chose educational apps. The district has not responded to inquiries from dot.LA about their process. One parent group gave its own training for parents to help their children connect to their online classes. While many of the edtech apps the district purchased helped students learn, some parents said others were boring and caused frustration. Included in that is $23.4 million in spending on several licenses for edtech apps like Edgenuity, Discovery, Rosetta Stone, Blackboard and Edpuzzle. More than half was spent on tech like laptops, tablets and hotspots and a lab to process COVID tests.

![]() ![]() We decided to take the Two Bridges from Sunset Point first. Against the background of the blue sky and white clouds, the ochre-colored rocks are just beautiful. The crumbling rocks stand tenaciously, and the wrinkles washed out by wind and rain seem to tell the vicissitudes of ages. We had an amazing time.Įntering Bryce Canyon NP in the morning, I once again marveled at the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature. ![]() I was surprised how busy Bryce was today on a weekday in early April, but it was still easy to visit without long wait times for the shuttle. Most of the walking paths are paved at the shuttle stops, which makes exploration much easier. As of today, masks were required to ride, but were also provided on the bus. The The Shuttle brings visitors to the four most iconic viewpoints of Bryce Canyon National Park (Bryce, Inspiration, Sunset, and Sunrise Points). The visitor center is located near the entrance and is the first opportunity to take the park shuttle. The shapes of Hoodoo Rocks makes for amazing scenery, as they are formed into columns or even pedestals. Bryce is famous for Hoodoo Rocks, which are brightly colored orange, red or white. Today, the temperatures were low 70's, and it was perfect weather. Bryce is also at a much higher elevation than Zion, which results in wonderful comfortable weather. Much smaller than Zion National Park, it's easier to visit. At $30 an admission, it would be nice to actually see some of this magnificent park, so maybe a bit more plowing is in order.īryce Canyon National Park is one of my favorite National Parks. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for Bryce. While they too had closed off some of the roads initially, they were reopened either later in the day or the next day. This in contrast to Zion National Park where we went next and which was experiencing very bad weather conditions. And next day, despite no snow or other weather issues, the road remained closed. So there was obviously no road danger letting traffic go further into the park. I noticed that the road into the park was plowed and clear far past the point where the NPS had closed the gates to the road. So I got to see the same 4 lookouts as last visit. Twice now I have visited in winter and both times the road access into the park ended about 2 miles into the park which normally has about a 17 mile drive with lots of great overlooks and trails. My complaint with the NPS (National Park Service) and this park has to do with access to the park in winter. Also, be prepared for the higher altitude and consider drinking plenty of water during your visit as that could help. If you go and plan to hike and spend more time viewing scenery and the museum at the ranger station, I would recommend at least 4 hours or more because the views at the scenic overlooks and pullovers is absolutely stunning. It wasn't too crowded even thought it was a Saturday afternoon, and there was plenty of available parking at the scenic overlooks, ranger station and pullover sections, but I was advised by one of the rangers that during warmer months it gets much more crowded, especially during the summer. After spending the remaining time there and at the gift shop, I spoke to a ranger who suggested drinking plenty of water due to the dryer air and altitude changes before leaving. Due to the nature of the icy and snowy conditions, I would recommend good hiking boots with good traction.Īfter about an hour and a half or so, I finished viewing almost all of the scenic overlooks and went to the ranger station where they had a mini museum on the park that had exhibits on it's wildlife, plants, etc and and a short film on the park. ![]() In fact, I witnessed one woman fall on her back, fortunately, she was not hurt. However, there were several inches of snow on the ground and it was compacted and frozen on the walkways so you had to be careful with your footing. As I drove back, I repeatedly pulled over to the scenic overlooks and admired them as I took many photos. At Rainbow Point, the altitude was over 9100 feet, so I got a headache as I got out to view the stunning scenery. After paying the $35 entrance fee, I told the park ranger I had limited time because I was on my way to Springdale and she suggested driving the 28 miles to the top at Rainbow Point and turning back and visiting the scenic pullovers on the way down, which I did. Visited in November 2022, but I only had about 2 1/2 hours to spare. ![]() ![]() ![]() The one big thing about this acquisition is that it suggests deployment of Matter, Thread, and therefore HomeKit will accelerate as one of the world’s leading electronics firms introduces these technologies across its projects. It allows different devices and services to integrate flawlessly, intuitively, and securely, making it possible for people to manage their energy, and their surroundings conveniently and safely.” One more thing ![]() In a statement announcing the acquisition, ABB Electrification’s Smart Buildings Division President, Mike Mustapha, said: “Matter and Thread, in which Eve is a leader, is a game changing development for the uptake of smart home technology. This makes sense to any energy customer currently staring with gloom at ever-climbing bills. They also enable more resilient (in the sense of reducing waste) energy supply as energy production migrates to renewables. While a smart light in everyone’s home might be nice as consumer accessory, on a global scale when applied to transportation, construction, and building redesign, these solutions could help manage energy demand at scale. The ABB website cites a report from Architecture 2030 that says buildings account for almost 40% of global carbon emissions.Īn in-depth report based on interviews with business leaders worldwide confirmed serious interest in energy consumption management among enterprise chiefs. ABB itself has claimed that smart automation in commercial buildings can decrease energy costs by up to 50%. That’s something we can anticipate will become mandatory moving forward, as governments worldwide seek to exploit digital technology to improve energy efficiency. "Thread has been a spectacular success for us, and in a not-too-distant future a Thread network in your house will be just as common as Wi-Fi," Eve Systems CEO Jerome Gackel said in 2021. It means that as an independent firm within ABB’s wider umbrella, Eve Systems is in a good position to build on that integration, which should help boost wider interest in smart home devices and open opportunities for the company in enterprise tech. The standards make it possible for different smart devices to integrate, even on HomeKit networks. Thread and Matter may help harmonize these discordant beats. ![]() Just as it did with smart homes, this complex environment undermines the productivity promises industry leaders bought into in early Industry tech iterations. You have multiple standards -many of them incompatible - driving unnecessary inefficiency and complexity to those markets. The challenge is that industrial connectivity of smart devices is as complex a space as smart homes were until the advent of Matter/Thread. What all these industries have in common is an accelerating process of digital transformation. The company’s ABB E-mobility division has also been building components for electric vehicle charging for over a decade. It’s a leading electrification and automation technology provider with numerous interests, including robotics, co-bots, Industry 4.0, and more. A $29.4 billion company, ABB has more than 100,000 employees across the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() Migration Assistant can also transfer files from a PC to your new Mac. ![]() It lets you choose which folders and accounts you want to copy, and it can then transfer the files using an external hard drive, an existing home network, a FireWire cable, or an Ethernet cable.

Ozone 9’s improved Tonal Balance Control allows tracks to be adjusted to targets based on thousands of professional masters, drawing on decades of mastering expertise. ![]() Creators can also tame unruly or clashing kick drums and boomy bass guitars without changing overall impact and go in-depth with surgical controls that shape tone and timbre, bringing out the best in the low end – with minimal artifacts – using this industry-first bass shaping tool. Using Ozone 9’s new processing designed to enhance bass sounds, this feature brings clarity to the low end and gives a well-defined foundation for each track. Low End Focus is the first line of defense against a muddy or sloppy low end in a mix. Weak-sounding drums can be corrected with one small boost that can save hours of EQ surgery. For example, users can add presence to vocals without affecting the midrange, or eliminate muddy low end by slightly lowering the bass guitar. Master Rebalance provides Ozone 9 users with instrument levels that can be corrected or changed without needing the original tracks. Ozone 9’s Tonal Balance Control can now talk to more iZotope plug-ins in the session and plug-in performance is improved for faster work, smoother metering, and resizable windows, helping users get rid of any uncertainty on whether music is ready for release.

If you pick the Field Medic class, then it’s your job to heal the other people you’re playing with, but many medics seem to run ahead in an attempt to get as many kills as they can. Rule 7: If you are a medic, do not rush in to get kills And don’t run in front of someone if they are giving money to someone else, because that is just stupid and selfish. That being said, don’t insult people who don’t give you money, more often than not they are saving up for something not being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. ![]() Ask once or twice for money, if no one gives any, then do what everyone else does and get some kills. With the new scoreboard, players can easily see how much money others have, this does not entitle them to give you some though. On higher difficulties however (I'm talkind Hard and above) do not engage any of tese and let a Sharpshooter or Demo take care of these effectively and efficiently seeing as the Demo can blow it up and the Sharpshooter can kill them in 1 - 3 shots with a Crossbow. When you see one of these two, try to warn people and then start shooting it, don’t just leave it because that can bring a whole team down in a matter of seconds. I don’t know how many times I've seen people just running away from these two, thinking someone else will take care of it, the only thing this will accomplish is getting others killed. This one carries a huge "but" which I'll get to later. Rule 5: If you see something big like a FleshPound or a Scrake, shoot it. This also leads to if a Berserker is taking care of a Scrake, try and protect them and kill the stuff attacking them. ![]() Rule 4: Do not shoot a Scrake if a Berserker is hitting it.īerserker’s can stun Scrakes and kill them without letting them rage, if you shoot it, it will rage and it will attack them, which is pretty much a ♥♥♥♥ move. Everyone needs and wants kills in this game, not just you, so if a Berserker is running for a ZED, let him kill it and pick one of the 200 other ZED’s to kill. You need to be up close to kill ZED’s as a Berserker (obviously), and it can very extremely infuriating every time you run up to kill a ZED for someone else to kill it just as you reach it. ![]() Rule 3: Do not shoot a ZED a Berserker is running towards. If someone has removed the head from a zombie, especially as a Sharpshooter, then don’t keep shooting it to get the kill, it will die in a few seconds and you shooting it, it won’t give them the kill which is rude and essentially kill stealing. Rule 2: If someone shoots off a ZED’s head, do not keep shooting it. People will buy guns first because they want kills, but there’s no point racking up kills if you die halfway through the round. You need some kind of protection when the cloaked Stalkers and long range Husks come out, and not having armour can almost certainly be the end of you. On hard you may be able to get away with not having armour on waves 1 and 2, but anything after that and you need armour. This doesn’t matter so much on Beginner or Normal, but on Hard, Suicidal and Hell on Earth, it is a must. Rule 1: Always buy armour before buying a gun. ![]() Note that this guide is aimed primarily at players who play on Beginner to Hard. So let’s kick off with some simple rules.
