In the 2024 Georgia State Vex
5:29
Robotics Championship, teams from
5:31
Paul Dukes. High School and Parkview
5:33
High School emerged as the overall high school
5:35
champions, showcasing the strength and
5:38
talent within Gwinnett County Public Schools.
5:40
The competition also saw the Gwinnett School
5:42
of Mathematics, Science and Technology
5:44
reaching the finals, while Osborn Middle
5:46
School secured the top position in the state's
5:48
middle school tournaments. A total of six
5:50
teams from GCC, including those
5:52
from Cruz, Lanier, and Osborn middle schools,
5:55
have advanced to compete in the prestigious 2024
5:57
Vex Robotics World Championship, set to
6:00
be held in Dallas, Texas. Brandon
6:02
Horsley, the coach of Paul Duke Stem High,
6:04
lauded his team's performance with a special
6:06
mention of senior Jack Pulliam for his outstanding
6:08
commitment and contribution to the team's success.
6:11
Sally Holloway, Gcp's director
6:13
of Artificial intelligence and computer science,
6:16
highlighted the significant educational impact
6:18
on participating in Vex robotics competitions.
6:21
She noted the enhancement of problem
6:23
solving skills and an increased interest
6:25
in Stem fields among students as key
6:27
outcomes of their involvement in these events.
6:31
A recent study featured in Nature Food indicates
6:34
that consuming wild fish varieties
6:36
such as mackerel, herring, and anchovies
6:38
may offer more health benefits than farmed
6:40
salmon. The research scrutinizes the
6:42
nutrient dynamics from wild fish
6:44
utilized its feed to the farmed salmon,
6:47
revealing a significant nutrient depletion
6:49
in the aquaculture process. According
6:51
to the findings, wild fish used in salmon
6:54
feed exhibit higher levels of crucial nutrients,
6:56
including calcium, iodine, iron,
6:58
omega three fatty acids, vitamin B12,
7:01
and vitamin A compared to the nutrient
7:03
profile of farm school filets,
7:05
the study underscores the importance of diversifying
7:08
our seafood consumption towards a broader range
7:10
of wild fish species. This approach
7:12
not only promises an enhanced
7:14
intake of essential dietary nutrients,
7:16
but also aims to alleviate the pressure of
7:19
overexploited fish stocks. Additionally,
7:21
the researchers propose strategies to increase
7:23
feed efficiency and the adoption of sustainable
7:26
practices, such as the use of fishery
7:28
byproducts to foster the industry's sustainable
7:30
developments. We'll be back
7:32
in a moment.

How do you hug a cactus? Reflective
8:48
parenting with teenagers in mind, Doctor Sheila
8:51
Redfern explores the critical role of
8:53
reflective parenting in navigating the complexities
8:55
of teenage emotional development. The book
8:57
underlines the necessity for parents to
9:00
comprehend the intricacies of the
9:02
adolescent brain, facilitating teenagers
9:04
ability to cope with intense emotions
9:06
and contributing to their emotional resilience
9:08
and security. Doctor Redfern, drawing
9:11
on her expertise as a psychologist,
9:13
addresses the heightened susceptibility
9:15
of teenagers to mental health issues and
9:17
underscores the importance of parental emotional
9:19
regulation in effectively engaging
9:21
with her children. Furthermore, the work advises
9:24
on the importance of establishing boundaries
9:26
that do not compromise the parent teenager
9:28
a connection and advocates for professional
9:31
intervention and addressing significant
9:33
mental health challenges. The
9:36
1370 American Craft Beer Fest
9:38
was held on Saturday at Town Center Park,
9:40

VIP access, which was capped at 400
9:54
guests, sold out within 34 minutes.
9:57
Despite initial concerns over rain affecting
9:59
the setup, the festival proceeded to under clear
10:01
skies. The day was filled with activities
10:03
including live music performances, a variety
10:06
of food vendors, and a Saint Patrick's Day
