• I contributed to HP’s factory diagnostic process by migrating the UEFI scripts to Python. This involved converting the NSH scripts from the Universal Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) language to Python, which allowed HP to benefit from Python’s readability, flexibility, and portability.
• Additionally, I spearheaded the development of a powerful visualization tool designed to enhance the comprehension of the factory diagnostic process flow. Leveraging the capabilities of ReactJS and Python’s Django framework, this tool enabled developers, TPMs, and other stakeholders to gain comprehensive insights into the various steps involved in the diagnostic process.
• Furthermore, I played a crucial role in the development and maintenance of HP’s factory diagnostic software. My responsibilities encompassed writing and managing the software responsible for testing and troubleshooting HP products and writing the Business Logic. This software was built using C# and C++, both renowned for their ability to provide precise control over hardware, making them optimal choices for creating highly responsive applications.
• In addition to my technical contributions, I provided mentorship and leadership to a team of two individuals for the first project. This involved guiding them through the project’s requirements, facilitating knowledge transfer, and ensuring the successful completion of their assigned tasks.

A mental health crisis among children in Illinois will be fought by streamlining and easing access to necessary treatment and coordinating between six separate state agencies, Gov. J.B. Pritzker plans to announce Friday.
A report examining the capacity and condition of Illinois’ response to behavioral health in young people has been in the works for nearly a year. It sketches avenues to help families understand mental illness, then make it easier for them to get required care without wrangling among disparate state agencies. A copy of the report was obtained in advance by The Associated Press.
“It’s all really geared toward creating an experience for families, where the boundaries between those different state agencies that are there to serve them are less visible,” said Dana Weiner, whom Pritzker tabbed for the initiative. She is on loan from the Chapin Hall Center for Children at the University of Chicago, where she is senior policy fellow.
“What families (should) experience is a simplified, centralized, clear way to get access to services to understand what their children are struggling with and to identify the things that might help address those challenges,” Weiner.
The deterioration of mental health among children predates the COVID-19 pandemic. But with the spread of the coronavirus the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2021 found 44% of American children had depressive episodes lasting at least two weeks and nearly half had thought about suicide, according to the report.
Friday’s announcement marks the beginning of work to ready the plan for implementation, a report on which Pritzker expects by October. There’s $22.8 million in the governor’s fiscal 2024 budget proposal to complete the planning.
The report identifies technological, practical, legislative and other means for marshaling the expertise among the Departments of Human Services, Children and Family Services, Juvenile Justice, Healthcare and Family Services, Public Health and the State Board of Education.
The program must be agile for responding to changing needs, given the volatility of mental illness, the report says. It suggests widespread screening of children which might telegraph future suffering and emphasizes the necessity of early intervention.
Recognizing problems quickly is critical, Weiner said. The U.S. Surgeon General discovered in a 2021 study that on average, there is an 11-year gap between recognizing a child’s potential mental health issue and that child getting treatment.
“I’m optimistic because in all of the cases that I’ve listened to and worked on over the last year, there are opportunities to intervene earlier when problems aren’t as severe,” Weiner said. “We can reduce the number of false starts or missed opportunities.”
At the same time, the report recognizes the need to provide incentives to draw people to the field, both by making education more attainable but also drawing upon paraprofessionals or aides to conduct critical work which doesn’t need extensive formal education. With worker shortages hampering many sectors, finding qualified people to fill crucial roles might be one of the effort’s bigger challenges.
But help is available in existing “touch points” in children’s lives — teachers and pediatricians, for example, as well as parents, Weiner said. It doesn’t mean the teacher is the health care provider, but is the recipient of the necessary information to be able to refer a child who needs help.
Asked for her message to parents of troubled children, Weiner said, “We are going to make this easier for you to care for your children and to obtain needed services as well as important information to help you understand how to keep your kids healthy and strong.”
Significantly, Tebow also runs the Tim Tebow Foundation in Jacksonville, Florida. He has been devoting many years to faith-based, charitable and philanthropic endeavors.
Now, he’s just published a one-year devotional for adults, plus a second book for children. The new book is called “Mission Possible One-Year Devotional: 365 Days of Inspiration for Pursuing Your God-Given Purpose.”
And with a New Year just up ahead, he shared thoughts about it recently in comments to Fox News and via his publisher’s press materials — as well as a challenge.
“My hope for you is that you begin to live your life with a deeper sense of purpose, meaning and significance than ever before and make your life count,” said Tebow.
“Today, you can begin to live your life on a trajectory that sets you up to accomplish feats of eternal purpose.”
He also recently told “Fox & Friends” during an interview, “Life can be hard and discouraging.”
That’s why, he said, he wrote a new “one-year devotional, to encourage people for 365 days.”
The books contain the Word of God — plus practical, everyday advice for people of all walks of life, all stations and all ages.
Tebow and his publisher shared an exclusive excerpt from the book with Fox News Digital for this post-Christmas time of year — and as we gaze ahead toward a New Year soon to begin.
Here it is.
“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the multifaceted grace of God” (1 Peter 4:10 NASB).
How many times have you woken up on Christmas morning, opened some gifts from loved ones, talked about how much you loved the gifts — and then just left them there in their boxes to collect dust?
You may have a knack for teaching or be a natural cheerleader to those around you.
Whatever the case, even if you’re not sure your gifts are worth much, God has given the many members of one body unique gifts to use for the purpose of serving one another.
Are you using your gifts, or are you hiding them?
A mission-possible life involves boldness and risk taking.

Video marketing is the go-to method for most companies, and I’ve got the stats to prove it.
According to Wyzowl’s latest State of Video Marketing research, 86 percent of businesses use video marketing, and an incredible 92 percent say it’s an essential part of their marketing strategy.
However, posting videos only gets you so far. Once you’ve created your content, you want the maximum number of people to see it.
What’s the answer? Video schema.
Now you know what I’m talking about; let’s get to it.
What Is Video Schema Markup?
Video schema markup is a code you can add to your website. This code tells search engines how you have structured your video and helps the likes of Google to understand what it’s about.
The code appears as rich snippets in the SERPs and displays a video thumbnail/preview, along with other info, such as a title, description, date uploaded, length, etc.
EmbedUrl (a video schema markup for when you’ve embedded a video from another site, like YouTube, for example)
ContentUrl (which points to a video media file)
Why Is Video Schema Markup Important For SEO?
OK, so Google doesn’t consider video schema as a ranking factor, and Google’s John Mueller has previously confirmed this.
Nevertheless, video schema markup does affect your SEO indirectly.
Providing video schema helps Google and the other search engines identify content that meets searcher intent and queries. This increases the chances of your content appearing in the rich results in SERPs.
Increased visibility often means more visitors and conversions; the more relevant your content is, the happier your visitors are.
Next, copy in your URL or click on the ‘HTML’ option and enter your code into the box.
Once you’ve done that, the page you’re adding schema to appears. At the top of the page, you’ll see a heading in red called ‘tag data.’ You’ll get a list of data items on the right-hand side of the page. Highlight any of the items that are listed in bold.
Then, click on the ‘create HTML’ button, view the data, and download it.
Once you’ve downloaded the data, you can add it to your content management system by following your host’s instructions.
You can also automate your video schema markup with plug-ins. Available tools include:
For YouTube rich snippets, there’s the free videoschema.com tool. Just enter your URL and hit ‘generate’:
Then, click ‘validate markup’ to go to Google’s validation tool. Google suggests using its rich schema validation tool before accessing Schema.org to verify your code. Enter the URL and click the green ‘run test’ button to use it.
Video Schema Best Practices
As you build your schema markup strategy and evaluate your site content, keep these best practices in mind:
Include optimized keywords throughout your content, including descriptions, titles, and pages.
Keep your video schema updated as you change your website’s videos, such as changing the title, description, or thumbnail image.
Avoid schema stuffing (adding excessive keywords into a website’s schema markup to fool search engines into thinking the site’s relevant).
Keep your video schema up to date as you make changes to your website’s videos, such as changing the title, description, or thumbnail image.
The title, description, or thumbnail.
When choosing the video schema type, use the search engine’s preferred format. For instance, Google recommends JSON-LD. Alternatively, you can use Microdata or Resource Descriptive Framework in Attribute (RDFa, which is a standard for representing data on the web).
Use a validation tool to test your coding.
Include all the required fields. When adding video schema markup to your page, there are a few required fields that you’ll need to fill out, such as the name of the video, the URL, and a thumbnail image.
Make sure your videos are properly tagged and categorized. This will help search engines understand what your videos are about and make it easier for users to find them.
Ensure your video schema is a clear representation of the page.
Include all specified properties (description, title, date, etc., or your content won’t appear in rich snippets.
If your page includes multiple forms of content, use different rich snippets for each content type to increase your chances of appearing in rich results. For instance, if your page includes videos, reviews, and articles, include the relevant schema for each content type.
Video schema is a type of structured data that you can add to a website to help search engines better understand the content on the page. It provides information about videos, including the title, description, thumbnail image, and duration, which the web crawlers then use to generate results from online searches.
Where Do I Put Video Schema?
Technically, you can decide where you want the video schema markup to appear on your website, but there is a preferred method. Schema should ideally be loaded in before closing the </head> element. If there are other page-critical scripts in the <head> tag, those should be loaded first. Then, the schema can be loaded in last before closing out the <head> tag.
Are Videos Structured Data?
Videos are unstructured data, meaning it is information that doesn’t have a predefined structure or format. In contrast, structured data has a predefined structure and comes in a standardized format. An example would be an e-mail or an Excel database.
Conclusion
Video schema markup is an important tool for improving your video visibility. Including key information about your video content in your website coding can help search engines deliver relevant content to searchers and improve your chances of appearing in rich snippets.
This extra visibility can reward you with fresh leads and increased reach and potentially assist your Google ranking by getting relevant content in front of searchers.
Including schema markup is easy, and you can use automation tools to install schema at a click.
To get the most from video schema, use other techniques like video SEO to further optimize your marketing efforts.
