PBSC Launches AI, Cybersecurity and Medical Imaging Programs This Fall to Meet High-Demand
Lake Worth, FL – Palm Beach State College is expanding offerings in information technology and health sciences professions with the introduction of programs in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and medical imaging for the fall term, which begins Monday, Aug. 26.
These new degree and certificate programs in AI, cybersecurity and medical imaging will offer students a fast track to preparing for in-demand careers and provide opportunities for working professionals to gain additional credentials to step up in their fields or start a new career path. A McKinsey Global Institute report titled “Generative AI and the future of work in America” states that the largest future job gains are expected to be in health care, followed by STEM professions. A 23% increase is projected in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) careers by 2030.
“We are thrilled to announce the launch of these dynamic programs designed to meet the evolving needs of our students and the demands of the modern workforce,” said Roger Yohe, Ph.D., vice president of academic innovation and strategy. “These new programs reflect our commitment to providing high-quality education that prepares students to thrive in their careers and make significant contributions to their professions and communities.”
PBSC’s Applied Artificial Intelligence Associate in Science degree and related college credit certificates aim to bring much-needed new talent into the growing AI field. Through a rigorous curriculum that builds technical expertise, critical thinking and problem-solving ability, the programs prepare students for immediate employment in all industries using AI to improve effectiveness and productivity. Students will gain knowledge and skills in data science tools, machine learning, natural language processing and computer vision as applied to managing AI project life cycles.
The new Cybersecurity Associate in Science degree and related college credit certificates are designed to meet the increasing demand for cybersecurity professionals in Florida. Currently there are 23,424 cybersecurity job openings in Florida, according to CyberSeek, and 469,930 nationwide. PBSC will prepare students through a comprehensive, industry-aligned curriculum that integrates technical and nontechnical skills and promotes employability, higher-order reasoning, and the adherence to ethical practices.
The addition of these programs builds on Palm Beach State’s strength in the cybersecurity field as recognized by its designation in 2023 as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense by the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security.
The credits from the AI and cybersecurity college credit certificates transfer into the related Associate in Science degrees, and both A.S. degrees lay the foundation to earn Palm Beach State’s two-year Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Information Management,
which has a choice of three concentrations: Database Administration and Data Analytics, Project Management, and Security and Network Assurance ( Cybersecurity).

Have you ever noticed how many functional things come in twos? A bicycle, for instance, not only has two wheels and tires but also two pedals. Can you imagine trying to participate in a bicycling competition with only one pedal? Airplanes can fly with a single engine, but if one wing falls off, disaster will follow.
Many parts of the human body we effectively use come in twos. We can see with just one eye, but two eyes give us depth perception. Lifting heavy items is extremely difficult with only one arm, and if you want to clap quietly, try applauding with one hand. If you run in a 100-meter dash using just one foot, your chances of winning are not very good.
We do not have to think too hard to come up with how the “better in twos” principle applies to the business and professional world. For learning various skills, the master and apprentice approach has historically proved very effective. More commonly today, many companies and organizations utilize the

The Power And Impact Of Working In Twos
mentor and protégé strategy for training and equipping promising young talent.
Entrepreneurs may prefer being their own boss, but if they are wise, they will seek out a trusted advisor for making important decisions. Because we all have blind spots that can adversely affect our lives, we can benefit from having one or more accountability partners – trusted friends who care enough about us to ask challenging, difficult questions when necessary.
I have been impressed by how many times the Scriptures affirm the importance of being in twos. It starts early in the first book of the Bible when God declares, “It is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18). Moses and Aaron were used to free the Israelites from 400 years of slavery in Egypt. The prophet Elijah trained his successor, Elisha, through whom God performed even greater miracles. Before becoming king of Israel, David benefited greatly from the friendship of Jonathan, son of King Saul.
This principle continues into the New Testament. Jesus Christ sent His disciples out by twos on ministry trips as part of their training.
Then, after his dramatic conversion from persecutor of Christians to follower of Jesus, Saul (later renamed Paul) was befriended and mentored by Barnabas. Then Paul invested in the lives of individual men like Silas, Timothy and Titus. Here are some biblical truths about twos:
Two can provide necessary friction. As a writer and editor, I often discovered that working with others sharpened my focus and improved the final product, whether it was a newspaper, magazine or book. “As iron sharpens iron, one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17)
Two can provide needed help. In life and in work, there are times we will stumble. Having someone who can offer a helping hand is a great advantage. “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work; if one falls down, his friend can help him up.
By Rick Warren
But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!” (Ecclesiastes 4:910).
Two can provide crucial counsel. In our enthusiasm – or foolishness – we may be tempted to take rash, unwise actions. Having a trusted advisor (or more than one) can help in avoiding disastrous decisions. “Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise” (Proverbs 19:20).
You can do many different things to keep your marriage growing. You can show affection, act unselfishly, and forgive each other. But by far the most important decision you and your spouse can make in your marriage is to remain committed to following Jesus together.
The Bible says, “Keep your roots deep in him, build your lives on him, and become stronger in your faith” (Colossians 2:7 GNT). Both you and your spouse may have committed your lives to Jesus at some point, but you need to ask yourself, “Are we continuing to live out our faith as a couple?”
Here are some practical ways you can follow Jesus together (many of these ideas can apply to other family re-
lationships too):
1. Get baptized together. If you haven’t done so already, publicly identify yourself as a Christian. If Jesus is going to be the center of your marriage, it only makes sense that you both tell the world you’re following him. I love to see husbands and wives get baptized together. It’s a wonderful way to declare you’re committing your lives and marriage to Jesus.
2. Get in a small group together. Challenge your marriage spiritually by connecting with other Christian couples. As you learn together to apply God’s Word to your marriages and lives, you’ll sharpen one another spiritually. You’ll also be challenging each other to serve in
ministry and share your faith regularly. Growing as a follower of Christ and as a spouse requires consistent accountability from other believers.
3. Renew your wedding vows. If you’ve committed your life to Jesus or renewed your commitment in a meaningful way since you first said your wedding vows, consider renewing those vows. It’s likely they’ll mean something different to you today.
4. Pray for and with each other. “Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed” (James 5:16 MSG). Who doesn’t want a marriage where you live together whole and healed? The Bi-
ble says this can happen when you confess to one another when you’re wrong and pray for and with each other.
5. Follow God’s Word. When couples read God’s Word together and apply it to their lives, it transforms their relationship and establishes a firm foundation for a lifetime together.
Your marriage may be going through a difficult season, but there’s still hope. Your marriage can find life again. But it has to start with you putting Jesus at the center of it. Do what God tells you to do in his Word, and your marriage can start growing again.

The Shrinking Newsroom: A Crisis with Local Implications
Last week, I began a series of articles exploring the evolving landscape of the newspaper industry. To understand this pivotal moment and propose ways to sustain local newspapers, I’m drawing insights from two compelling books: *Newsonomics* by Ken Doctor and *The Dip* by Seth Godin. *Newsonomics* offers a comprehensive study of the transformation in news media, while *The Dip* discusses the importance of persevering through challenging times to achieve long-term success.
This week, let’s focus on the local implications.
Ken Doctor’s *Newsonomics* highlights a disturbing trend in journalism: the shrinking newsroom. Across the country, newsrooms are downsizing due to financial pressures, leading to fewer journalists tasked with covering more stories. This contraction has serious implications, especially for local newspapers.
At *The Boca Raton Tribune*, we’ve experienced firsthand how a reduced newsroom staff impacts our ability to cover the community with the depth and attention it deserves. Important stories risk going untold, and the bond between a newspaper and its readers can weaken. This situation creates a crisis not only for the media but for the community, which relies on us to keep them informed and engaged.
Who will look out for the community when local government and other agencies become the primary sources of information about their actions? Who will verify the accuracy of hundreds of social media posts and press releases that present only one side of the story? This scenario creates fertile ground for misinformation, which can spread rapidly through social media. Without local newspapers to help investigate and certify the truth, there is no one left to provide the necessary checks and balances.
The decline in print advertising revenue is a significant reason for the shrinking newsroom. Newspapers need revenue to sustain their operations and maintain staff. As advertisers pull back
from print editions and PR agencies increasingly pitch stories directly to newspapers, aiming for coverage without paying for advertising, newspapers face mounting financial pressures. This trend not only affects the quality of journalism but also jeopardizes the survival of local news outlets.
The real concern is how PR agencies will sustain themselves if local newspapers cease to exist. Without financial support from advertisers, newspapers struggle to survive, and the very outlets that PR agencies rely on to share their clients’ messages may no longer be available.
Seth Godin’s concept of “The Dip” is particularly relevant here. Godin argues that the dip is a natural part of any worthwhile endeavor—a period of struggle that tests our commitment. For local journalism, the shrinking newsroom and dwindling ad revenue represent a dip that challenges us to innovate and find new ways to deliver quality news despite fewer resources.
One way PR agencies can help navigate this dip is by becoming true partners of local newspapers. They need to understand that newspapers require revenue to continue serving their communities. While I’m not suggesting that PR agencies become ad sales teams, they can certainly help create win-win situations. For example, they could collaborate on sponsored content, events, or other initiatives that benefit both the newspaper and their clients.
Another strategy to navigate this dip is by strengthening partnerships with local educational institutions like FAU, Lynn University, and Palm Beach State College. These partnerships allow us to offer internships and real-world journalism experience to students, helping to fi ll the gaps left by a shrinking newsroom. By investing in the next generation of journalists, we ensure that local journalism remains vibrant and that our community continues to receive the comprehensive coverage it deserves. If you’re interested in an internship? Apply here.
At *The Boca Raton Tribune*, we are here to stay. We’ve been serving this
community for 18 years, and we will continue to do so. The content sent by PR agencies helps us inform our readers, but it requires time and resources—time that is money—to curate it because many submissions are purely advertorial.We are very thankful for the PR agencies that understand this and have partnered with us to support our mission.
Through these partnerships, we are not only supporting education but al-
CARTOON
so ensuring that the Boca Raton community remains well-informed and connected. It’s a commitment to both the present and the future, reinforcing the importance of local journalism in an ever-changing media landscape.

FPL Shares Ways to Save as High Temperatures Continue to Sweep the State
Boca Raton, FL – On average, August is the hottest month of the year in the Sunshine State. Considering cooling makes up approximately 60% of energy bills, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) wants to help customers keep their bills as low as possible with tips and resources.
Tips to save on some of the biggest home energy drivers:
FPL offers a full suite of free, energy-savings tools including the new House of Savings Challenge, where customers can play along with FPL Energy Expert, Maria, and energy robot, Saver, to learn easy to implement tips to lower energy costs.
When washing the laundry, use the cold water setting to save up to $.80 per load. When drying never overload the machine and always remember to clean the filter. About 90% of the energy used to do laundry comes from heating the dryer.
Set your thermostat to a comfortable temperature between 75 and 78 degrees, and remember that for every degree above 75, you can save 3-5% on your monthly cooling costs.
Phantom energy users, like electronics that are “off” but still plugged in, can account for up to 5-10% of electricity usage in your home. If you aren’t actively using the appliances throughout your home – i.e., air fryers, gaming consoles, or standing fans – unplug them.
Your water heater is usually the second-largest energy user in your home. Lower the water heater temperature from 140° to 120° to save 3 to 5% on your energy costs and you’ll still have plenty of hot water.
FPL’s newest tool: In the new House of Savings Challenge, players are led on a mission to get a home’s energy usage back on track by solving challenges and answering energy-related questions. Those who answer the most questions correctly in the shortest time can become eligible to win a
House of Savings DIY energy-saving kit to help make their home more efficient or to donate their prize to FPL’s Care To Share program, dedicated to helping fellow Floridians in need.

Struggling to Make
(StatePoint) Upfront and ongoing renting costs can put financial stress on any monthly budget. But whether you are experiencing financial hardship or just need a little extra help to make ends meet, you may have options by working with your property manager.
If you’re struggling to meet either of the two largest financial responsibilities of your lease — your security deposit or rent — here’s what you can do, according to Freddie Mac:
Alternative Security Deposits
The upfront cost of a security deposit
Rent?
can be a challenge for some renters. However, some property managers offer alternatives that decrease the amount due at signing. Common options include:
• Recoupment: You agree to pay the property manager for any damages up to a pre-approved amount. If you fail to pay for damages at move out, a deposit company will bill you the amount owed.
• Insurance: You pay monthly premiums for an insurance policy, up to a certain limit, to cover any damages you cause.
• Installments: Rather than paying the full deposit at move-in, you’ll pay in smaller installments, typically monthly.
It’s important to know the different implications of each option. While these alternatives may seem attractive at lease signing, the cumulative out-of-pocket costs may be more than the amount of the traditional security deposit in the long run. Furthermore, depending on the option you choose, you may also still be liable for costs associated with damages to your unit. Make sure your agreed-upon terms are documented and that you fully understand them.
Rent Flexibility
Here’s What to Know
Talk to your property manager about the flexibility they can provide on your rent payments. There are several common arrangements that they may be willing to offer you, which include:
• Personalizing your payment dates: Most rent payments are due on the first of the month, and many properties typically offer a grace period. However, depending on your pay day, this timing still may not be ideal. Speak to your property manager about changing your payment due date to better align with your pay cycle.
• Paying in installments: You may find it difficult to cover your full monthly rent in one payment. If this is the case, your property manager may be willing to work out an alternative schedule that allows you to make multiple smaller payments throughout the month.
• Receiving a waiver for late fees or penalties: Late fees and penalties are intended to discourage repeated late payments — but sometimes, unexpected things happen. If you’re facing a temporary setback but are otherwise in good standing with your property manager, you may be able to negotiate a one-time exception for late fees or penalties.
Navigating the Conversation
Approaching your property manager can be intimidating. Before your conversation, consider seeking advice from a HUD-certified housing counselor to help you understand your rights and options, and to prepare any relevant information you may need. As you negotiate with your property manager, keep written documentation of any agreements made. And of course, keep the lines of communication open so that both parties are holding up their end of the agreement.
If you need assistance, reach out to a Renter Resource Organization, which can provide financial planning advice, educate you on your rights and responsibilities as a renter, offer mediation in landlord-tenant disputes, provide legal advice and more. Visit myhome.freddiemac.com/rros to find an organization servicing your region or call Freddie Mac’s Renter Helpline at 800-404-3097 to speak to a HUD-certified housing counselor.
If you’re struggling as a renter, actively communicating by asking questions or asking for assistance can relieve financial pressure and help you avoid eviction.
Can Your Home Withstand a Natural Disaster?
(StatePoint) With the frequency of natural disasters on the rise, it’s a good idea to think about the components of your house and whether they are built to withstand wicked weather.
Fortunately, manufacturers are stepping up to the plate to create home building products that are stronger and more reliable in the face of hurricanes, wildfires and other disasters. Here’s how you can take advantage of these innovations:
Roofing
If you’re building a home or re-roofing your current property, be sure to talk to your contractor about what roofing products they are using, and ask about innovative steel products best-suited for your region. Whether you live in a hurricane-prone coastal community or in the path of wildfires, steel roofing can offer additional protection for your home. Steel roofs are non-combustible, have wind-resistant components and can help mitigate the risk of fire damage from chimneys, fire pits or wildfires.
In particular, U. S. Steel’s COASTALUME steel is engineered and warranted for coastal environments to bring an enhanced level of performance and protection against high concentrations of ultraviolet rays, excessive heat and rainfall, sea salt spray and hurricane-force winds. COASTALUME combines Tedlar PVF film, which offers improved flexibility and impact resistance with licensed GALVALUME steel, which provides excellent long-term durability, strength and corro-
sion resistance to protect a building’s roof and walls for decades. To learn more, visit ussteel.com.
Strong Windows
For optimal protection, you’ll want to ensure that your windows exceed your state and county’s strictest codes and requirements and are made from materials that will not only make a big difference during weather events, but also improve your everyday comfort and safety. For example, hurricane-impact windows that can withstand high-speed impacts typically offer more soundproofing than standard windows, dimming the roar of your neighbor’s early morning lawnmowing. They also make forced entry more difficult, providing an additional layer of security. And for those in wildfire prone areas, dual pane tempered glass windows provide protection against flames and embers while offering enhanced insulation, a great benefit in extreme temperatures. During key times of year, install storm shutters or fire-rated shutters as an additional safety barrier.
Flooring
Just as your house’s exterior can benefit from the right materials, so too can your interiors. If you live in a coastal or other flood-prone area, traditional hardwood flooring is probably not the right choice for your ground floor or basement, as it can be prone to mildew, mold and warping.
Instead, opt for newer flooring material options, such as vinyl meant to mimic the look and feel of real hardwood or engineered hardwood, made of composite materials with a thin, treated hardwood layer. Likewise, fire-resistant flooring can reduce the spread of flames through your home when every second counts. Thanks to the array of beautiful design options that are available today, popular fire-resistant choices include stone and concrete. By relying on the latest engineering innovations, you can help safeguard your property from top to bottom.

Boca Raton, FL – In the aftermath of a hurricane, some palm tree owners may worry about the survival of their beloved palms.
With more than 2,600 species, the iconic palm seen across Florida landscapes is heartier than one may think, even when those lush green palm fronds are suddenly wilted and thinned out due to extreme winds and rains from a storm.
Palm trees are important to consumers, not only because they provide a pleasing aesthetic to the landscape, but they add a source of food and serve as habitats for wildlife, said Brian Bahder, associate professor at UF/IFAS Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center.
“They are ubiquitous in the tropics and being able to imbue that tropic vibe here at home (within the United States) can allow people to semi-experience tropical vibes without the high cost and stress of going international,” he said. “Some species are natives and are important food and nesting sources for our native wildlife. Meanwhile, other palm species are critical crops worldwide, with coconut and oil palms being the most important.
Some trendy health foods like acai also come from palms, making them a beautiful and sometimes nutritious addition to their landscape. In a UF/ IFAS Extension publication, Hurricane-Damaged Palms in the Landscape: Care after the Storm, experts at the UF Institute of Food and Agricul-
tural Sciences provide detailed instructions for dealing with broken and uprooted palms, including the necessity of proper water management during the re-establishment period.
Additionally, Bahder addresses consumer questions for the peak of hurricane season.
Q: How sturdy are palm trees against a tropical storm or hurricane?
An established healthy palm will withstand a storm like Hurricane Debby without serious problems. Depending on the palm, the leaves might shred or bend at the petiole, but not sustain significant damage that would require replanting. Palms have hundreds of fibrous roots that anchor them in the group, nicely, and the trunks of palms have their vascular tissue randomly distributed throughout the trunk. They don’t run perfectly straight up and down, they “snake” their way through
the trunk, and gives the palm trunk high flexibility and more resistance to breaking when compared to typical trees, like oak trees.
Q: What are the signs that your palm tree has survived or not survived? What should homeowners look for?
In this case, unless the canopy falls off, it should be fine if the palm looks similar to its appearance before the storm. It may be possible for fungal pathogens to make their way into the canopy, combined with excess rainfall, but this likely won’t manifest for a while. In an extreme event — let’s say the canopy is completely shredded — if you see the spear leaf expanding in the following month, the palm is fine; it just needs time to recover.
Q: If you must remove the palm tree, is it possible to replant any part of it?
No, you will have to replant.
Q: What does science tell us about recovery time for palm trees after a storm?
The main point to note is that it will be at least six months (and probably longer) before it is apparent that a palm will recover. This depends heavily on the palm species and the extent of damage. Palms that grow slowly naturally can recover rapidly if they need to. Some palm species could fully recover in six months, while others could take years. Regardless, palms are slower growers than typical trees, and they only have one growth point — palms with a single trunk, that is — so it will take longer to know if it is recovering compared to other plants. Patience is important with palms.

Help Protect Florida’s Manatees and Sea Turtles with Newly Designed Decals from the FWC
Boca Raton, FL – The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has released its 2024-2025 manatee and sea turtle decals. These vibrantly illustrated decals can be placed on watercraft and vehicle bumpers and look equally great on water bottles, coolers, tackle boxes and laptops.
New, waterproof decals featuring original artwork are released every year in July and are available for a $5 donation at your local tax collector’s office. Donations for decals go directly to funding manatee and sea turtle research, rescue and management efforts.
This year’s decals emphasize the importance of conserving Florida’s waterways and beaches for manatees and sea turtles:
“Protect Your Waterways, Protect Their Home” provides a reminder that manatees are found throughout Florida’s waterways including rivers, bays, canals and coastal areas. Keeping track of trash and keeping Florida’s waterways clean can prevent manatees from ingesting and becoming entangled in marine debris and waste.
“A Generation of Protection Brings Record Results” highlights Florida’s ef-
forts to protect sea turtles that resulted in record numbers of loggerhead and green sea turtle nests in 2023.
Everyday actions such as keeping beaches clean and free of debris, removing recreational equipment at the end of beach visits and keeping beaches dark at night can protect nesting sea turtles and hatchlings from life-threatening situations.
This year’s decals also conveniently display the FWC’s Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922), where you can report a dead, injured, entangled or sick manatee or sea turtle.
You can also contribute to manatee and sea turtle conservation through purchasing a “Save the Manatee” or “Helping Sea Turtles Survive” specialty license plate at your local tax collector’s office.
For more information on manatee and sea turtle conservation in Florida, visit MyFWC.com/Manatee or MyFWC.com/SeaTurtle. If you’re out of state or the new decals are unavailable at your tax collector’s office, or to view and collect decals from previous years (19922023), type “decals” into the search bar at MyFWC.com.

Boca Raton, FL – The Boca Raton Public Library presents a new art exhibit, “Homage to Color,” by Fran Mann Goodman. Ms. Goodman blends vivid color with various pastes, sands, gels, dusts, and erects levels of depth that leap off the canvas.
