PostPhase 1: Functional Testing Before you create your first performance tests, you want to ensure that all of your application server's required functions are up and running and available, and you want to ensure that the user interface (UI) is behaving as expected. Start by recording GUI Functional Tests to test the user's experience with the UI in an actual web browser. Phase 2: Service Virtualization After verifying your application server is functioning as expected, you're ready to move on to simulating some tests. BlazeMeter's Service Virtualization allow you to test even when you don't have access to a full test environment. You can run a virtual service to deploy transactions, which are typically a subset of transactions in a particular service. Once a virtual service is created and running, you can associate it with your test, embed it in your test scripts, or provide it during test execution. Phase 3: Performance Testing You've verified your application server is functioning as expected, and you've virtualized some tests to get an idea of what deploying transactions against your services will look like. Now it's time to jump into real Performance Testing! Performance Testing via the BlazeMeter cloud is how you ensure that your application server will be able to handle the full load of users performing various actions all at once as soon as your application goes live. The Performance tab will provide you with a wide range of options for testing, starting with either running a single performance test or a combination of a multiple performance tests executed simultaneously, which we refer to as a Multi-Test. Cloud testing leverages cloud computing resources and models to enable all aspects of load testing in a highly cost-effective manner. With cloud testing, you have unlimited resources at your disposal. You can perform all Performance Testing activities in the cloud with features such as real-time reporting. Phase 4: API Monitoring You've verified that your application is both functioning properly and ready to perform well under load, so going forward, you'll want to keep an ever-watchful eye on your application server so as to avoid any surprise outages in the future. Downtime can have a far-reaching impact on any business. Without proper visibility into the traffic running through your apps and infrastructure, diagnosing and solving the problem means using up valuable time and resources. BlazeMeter's API Monitoring surfaces issues directly from the internal and third-party APIs that power your apps and infrastructure. It works by running API monitors -- either from around the globe or from within your infrastructure -- on a continuous schedule to give you visibility into API problems so you can prevent, identify and solve them fast -- before your customers notice.By: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreWednesday, Feb 12, 2025WATER, ENERGY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT+2

PostDoes this mean my child has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP)? No. A child that has been referred to the ESS team does not have an IEP; however, parents have the right to request an evaluation for special education services at any time. Oftentimes, students progress as expected with some additional support and do not need to be evaluated for learning support or other special education services. In other cases, students do not progress as expected and an evaluation is sought to further evaluate their learning strengths and needs to determine whether they are in need of specially designed instruction.By: Freddy CarloWednesday, Feb 12, 2025HEALTH AND NUTRITION

ArticleHow does ESS work?Once a child has been referred to the ESS team, a meeting is scheduled to discuss the student’s needs and develop a plan to address those needs. The plan includes background information, such as grades and results of assessments, goals, and a plan to monitor your child’s progress. After an intervention plan has been developed, it is implemented and supported by the ESS team through ongoing communication and monitoring. After the plan has been implemented for a period of three to four weeks, the team meets again to review the student’s progress and change the plan as needed. The goal is to see positive changes in the student’s skills and reduce the level of intervention that is needed. If the student does not progress as expected, changes are made to the plan and other options may be considered by the team.Who are the members of the ESS team?The core members of the ESS team are the parent/guardian, principal/assistant principal, school psychologist, classroom teacher, Title I reading teacher, and/or additional individuals who know the student well (community agency representatives, mental health liaison, etc.). While these are the core members, each team is different and may consist of a variety of different members.What is my role in ESS as a parent?Who knows a child better than their parent(s)/guardian? Parent/guardian input is welcomed and encouraged every step of the way. Our goal is to have open, ongoing communication with families about their child’s progress.Does this mean my child has an IndBy: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreWednesday, Feb 12, 2025HEALTH AND NUTRITION+1

ArticleEducational Support System (ESS)What is the Educational Support System (ESS)?Each student has different learning needs. For some students, learning new skills is not always easy. In some cases teachers seek assistance from the ESS team for intervention planning, consultation, and support for students in need. ESS is a child study team. Students’ needs may include academic needs related to reading, written language, mathematics, or other subject areas. Additionally, some students’ needs are related to their emotional well-being or behavior.ESS provides a means for educators and parents to collaborate and problem-solve individual student’s needs. ESS consists of a team of individuals who meet to discuss students’ needs, review assessment results, and develop plans to assist students in improving academically, emotionally, or behaviorally. The overall goal of ESS is to support students in need by intervening early, communicating often, and collaborating as a team to ensure your child’s success.How does my child get referred to the ESS team?Students are referred to ESS when a significant need in a core subject area is observed (i.e. failing grades or poor classroom performance) by the classroom teacher or another member of the team. Additionally, students may be referred if they show behaviors that impede their learning or that of other students.What does it mean if my child has been referred to the ESS team?If your child has been referred to the ESS team, it means that their teacher has concerns about their academic achievement or social, emotional, or behavioral skills that may require additional support, problem-solving, and intervention.Ref: https://www.asd.k12.pa.us/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=417161&type=d&pREC_ID=912361By: Freddy CarloWednesday, Feb 12, 2025CULTURE AND SOCIETY

PostHere a few examples of healthy meals for weight loss. For breakfast, a bowl of bran flakes with sliced strawberries and walnuts with nonfat milk. For lunch, a turkey sandwich on wheat with vegetables and an olive oil and vinegar dressing. For dinner, a salmon steak on a bed of spinach. You don't have to cut out snacks in order to eat a healthy diet, either. Healthy snacks for weight loss include almonds or pistachios, string cheese with an apple, Greek yogurt or a banana with peanut butter. Before you begin your weight-loss journey, do some brainstorming about the kinds of healthy foods you enjoy so that you can have lots of choices as you plan your meals and snacks. Remember that the best diet is the one you'll stick to, so don't rush out and buy a bunch of "health foods" that you know you'll never eat.By: Monika Dhakate..Tuesday, Jan 28, 2025CULTURE AND SOCIETY+1

ArticleWhat's the best diet for weight loss?While that's not an unreasonable question, it often implies an approach that is less than optimal, which is to plan on adopting a radically restrictive mode of eating for a while, until the weight is lost, and then going back to eating as normal. Instead of embracing "fad diets," people who have lost weight—and kept it off—usually have made a permanent shift toward healthier eating habits. Simply replacing unhealthy foods with healthy ones—not for a few weeks, but forever—will help you achieve weight loss while also offering numerous other benefits. So a better set of questions might be, "What is a healthy diet? What does a healthy diet look like?" A healthy diet favors natural, unprocessed foods over pre-packaged meals and snacks. It is balanced, meaning that it provides your body with all the nutrients and minerals it needs to function best. It emphasizes plant-based foods—especially fruits and vegetables—over animal foods. It contains plenty of protein. It is low in sugar and salt. It incorporates "healthy fats" including fish, olive oil and other plant-derived oils.By: Monika Dhakate..Tuesday, Jan 28, 2025AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS+2
