When I was finished, she asked, “Okay, and when would you want to see him back?” “Two weeks,” I replied, sure to hear her applaud me and immediately offer me a 1 million dollar contract to work for her. In essence, I gave an extremely thorough answer, one that I was proud of and was sure would impress her. I further addressed the patient’s need for a colonoscopy depending on if/when he last underwent same. I told her of all the blood tests that I wanted to order to check the patients lipids, fasting glucose, thyroid hormone, and a basic metabolic panel to assess renal function so that I might be able to prescribe metformin for the patient to treat his elevated blood glucose. I explained to her how I would educate the patient regarding his blood pressure and blood sugar, provide information about a healthy diet to address both, implement the use of a dietitian and exercise routine, and start the patient on blood pressure medication (because his BP at the time was 160/95). I’ve always enjoyed being put on the spot with questions like this, so I was excited to answer. The patient was a 64 year old Caucasian male who was found to have elevated blood sugar and high blood pressure at a community health screening fair and is now presenting for initial evaluation after not having regular medical care for > 5 years. The setting was definitely not ideal, especially considering the fact that 90% of the call was spent discussing a hypothetical patient who was a train wreck health-wise. This particular interview was with a primary care physician in Folsom, CA, and it was an extensive 1.5 hr telephone conversation that I had while seated in the backseat of my sister’s car as her husband drove me, Jami, and Roxanne to a Thanksgiving party in Bodega Bay. Each of the interviews went very well, but one interview was exceedingly more challenging than the others. By the time I returned home for Thanksgiving I had secured the three interviews that I mentioned in my previous blog. see*.Ī round of phone calls to family/friends, and a Facebook status update later, and I was back to the job hunt.

opaca, all natives, were untouched by both the 20 freezes. Ilex - a large holly collection, unaffected for the most part. macrophylla varieties froze to ground - as they often do here - they returned vigorously. That clone is being multiplied for further evaluation and for sharing with cooperators. However, we can now report that we do have one genotype, a robust gardenia with double flowers, that survived both freezes in fine form and flowered well in 20. Gardenia - wide collection of varieties froze to ground or near ground and recovered. Many straight Asian species died to near ground. For many camellia species, it was common to have the top alive with unthrifty new growth and with considerable sprouting from base and lower trunk and branches. ‘Yuletide’ branches and tops died back on some, lesion on others. ‘Frank Hauser’, a favorite here, was killed outright in a number of locations. Most survived, though many badly damaged. longissima froze to ground in 2021, recovered and froze to ground again in December 2022.Ĭamellia - 300 plus cultivars ranked with a wide range of damage ratings. dichotoma showed damaged trunks and branches C. thunbergii varieties, minor damage plants recovered.Ĭallicarpa - beautyberry varieties and genotypes of C. chinensis, no damage.īerberis - barberries, mostly B. Below are the results of our observations of various taxa commonly used in urban Texas landscapes.Ībelia - 16 varieties, no damage A. A 1-6 damage-rating scale was employed (with 1 representing no damage and 6 representing dead), and other data was collected, including plant height, appearance and comments. Taxa is a taxonomic group of any rank, such as genus, species, variety or genotype. Because of the extensive diversity in the SFA Gardens, a project was implemented in the summer 2021 to document the extent of damage to woody ornamental taxa. Most gardeners across the state experienced these same three events in lesser or greater fashion. Gusty winds made it feel even colder, with wind chills ranging from 23° F to -10° F. The Southwest Airlines fan club took a hit. Elliott downed powerlines, littered highways with accidents and led to record plane-flight cancellations. The temperatures ranged from freezing along the U.S.-Mexico border in McAllen to as low as 8° F in parts of the Panhandle. The storm stretched 2,000 miles from the Great Lakes near Canada to the Rio Grande along the Mexico border. The entire state fell under a freeze alert. Third was the Dec 23, 2022, 9° F winter-storm Elliott event, which can best be described as a bomb-cyclone. While East Texas received some welcome August rains, my friends in Central Texas did not, and it is there that many counties experienced the all-time record. The average summer (June 1 through August 31) temperature was 88.8° F degrees compared to 89.5° F in 2011. While 2011 is considered the hottest, driest summer on record, 2022 was a year to remember. Records indicate it was the second-hottest summer in Texas since 1883. Second was the record-breaking heat in summer 2022, with 36 days over 100° F, a high temperature of 42° C and 10 weeks of drought. Many of these trees had to be removed, and debris removal from that event is still on our agenda. In Nacogdoches, ice-and-snow load meant limbs falling from above. Landscapes were devastated, and brown became the dominating landscape color. Every county in Texas saw temperatures below freezing. Winter storm Uri in East Texas was a weeklong event accompanied by ice-and-snow loads that devastated many Texas urban landscapes. For Nacogdoches, we can describe our challenges this way:įirst was the February 16, 2021, never-seen-before -4° F record low. In 2023, that record-breaking event can be seen as one of three mega-climate challenges we’ve endured in the last two years. I wrote an article for Texas Gardener (“Ice Ice Baby,” July/August 2021) that described our first impressions of winter storm Uri. Bananas as the backbone in your Dallas garden is probably a poor idea. Save the 20% for plants you might suspect are a bit edgy. I like the 80:20 rule, which is to plant 80% of the landscape, the backbone, to proven performers - those plants that will deal with it all. Plants in the urban landscape need to be resilient. And, judging from recent events, we should accept that our urban landscapes need to tolerate low temperatures we’ve never seen before. In the Pineywoods, it’s apparent that we need more drought and heat tolerance as well as more salt and alkalinity tolerance in the plants we use. Everyone has seen the predictions of melting ice, rising seas and violent storms punctuated by long stretches of punishing heats and droughts never seen before. A new term, “climate resiliency,” is making a mark to describe the character of urban trees and shrubs we should be planting in the landscapes of Texas. A benefit that a battery-powered trimmer provides that a gas trimmer can’t touch is that it’s quiet. Although cordless string trimmers still lack the raw weed-slashing power of professional-grade gas-engine machines, they have narrowed the performance difference. Many people are looking to cordless string trimmers powered by a lithium-ion battery to meet their needs, especially in suburbia. Trimming a large and diverse rural property requires a far more robust power tool than if you live on a 1⁄4-acre lot. The harder you work the string trimmer, the tougher the machine you need to buy. Read on for quick info on the best string trimmers from our testing, then scroll down for buying advice and in-depth reviews.Ī string trimmer spins a line head by means of either a gas engine (in almost all cases burning a gas-oil fuel mixture) or it uses a lithium-ion battery and a DC motor. Equipped with an Aero-Flex trimmer attachment, a string trimmer can function as a mini mower for cutting grass and weeds in difficult areas such as on steep banks and ditches. You’ll be glad of this come winter because pavement with a neat edge is easier to clear of snow compared to one that is overgrown. The notch keeps grass and weeds from growing over the pavement’s edge. With a deft hand they can be turned sideways to cut a notch along sidewalks, patios and drives. They can cut down tall grass and weeds to keep border areas under control, either prior to mowing or as an alternative to mowing. Either way, the results should be a neat landscape. Some people mow then trim, others trim then mow (particularly those who bag the clippings). A string trimmer is the indespensible power tool that puts the finishing touches on a yard by shaving off grass that a lawn mower can’t reach. Then modify the top of the 2nd script to work for whatever instance type you chose, and start it all up by running start.sh.

Total cost is a few bucks a month, I don't even notice it on top of other AWS spend (route53 with my domain name, CloudFront and S3 for my website). Turning it back on is done using the AWS CLI from my desktop: "aws ec2 start-instances -instance-ids i-redacted". I found that I would occasionally forget to power off the server after playing some nights, so I now run a cron job to power the server off at 3am, since I am not typically up that late. The Minecraft install is on a separate EBS volume so I can easily change instances if the need arises (thinking replacement instance in lieu of upgrading the OS). I have it setup to launch using systemd at multi-user target (can control easily with systemctl stop/start rvice), and I use symbolic links pointing to the Minecraft directory so I can easily change the version. Occasionally there are some hiccups, but it is very cheap. I am also running Minecraft in AWS on a t3.medium with unlimited CPU burst enabled. Worst case, you can probably save your world and import it into another host if you decide to not use AWS in the future. So if you only want to play with a handful of friends, and don't need to keep it on constantly, and those friends are savvy enough to use the AWS app or run a python script, I say go for it.

On the day of the launch, there are some troubles with the calculations on the electronic computer and Katherine is called in to save the day. However, she leaves with the respect of her teammates. Once the final arrangements for John Glenn’s launch are made, Katherine is informed that her services are no longer required on the team.

Over time, Harrison also abolishes some of the racism that is prevalent, like segregated bathrooms. All the while, Katherine faces hurdles as well but leaves Harrison impressed by developing the solution to a mathematical equation. Determined not to be denied, Mary files a petition to attend the school. However, she is told that apart from her impressive mathematics and physical science degrees, she needs some certification courses that are offered at the all-white Hampton High School. Dorothy is informed she will not be promoted since there are no plans to have a permanent supervisor for the group that involves people of color.Īs far Mary’s work is concerned, she is encouraged to apply for an official NASA engineer’s position. In the meanwhile, Mary is assigned to the heat shield team of the space capsule where she finds a flaw in the design. She becomes the first black woman in the team and naturally faces backlash from her colleagues, especially engineer Paul Stafford, who is dismissive of her abilities. In order to launch American astronauts into space, Vivian Mitchell, the supervisor, assigns Katherine to Al Harrison’s Space Task Group, due to her skills in analytic geometry. The entire unit is segregated by race and sex.Īfter the successful Soviet launch of Yuri Gagarin, there is an added pressure on NASA to show results. Her colleagues include Mary Jackson, an aspiring engineer, and Dorothy Vaughan, their unofficial acting supervisor.

Instead of learning through interaction, the not-so-smart real estate chatbots are programmed to spit out certain answers or links based on buttons your lead presses.

Make sure you trust the person or organization you're scanning the code from and make sure to cancel any downloads if you're not expecting one. While rare, this sort of QR code-based malware is possible, so we recommend always being careful about which QR codes you scan. While the QR codes themselves aren't to blame, the content they give you can harm your device. QR codes, while extremely useful, can also be used maliciously. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. Step 4: If successful, a link should appear in a small pop-up window. Step 3: There will often be a slight pause as it works out the code.
