Combining forces, GSAP & Webflow!

Change can certainly be scary whenever a beloved, independent software library becomes a part of a larger organization. I’m feeling a bit more excitement than concern this time around, though.

If you haven’t heard, GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) is teaming up with the visual website builder, Webflow. This mutually beneficial advancement not only brings GSAP’s powerful animation capabilities to Webflow’s graphical user interface but also provides the GSAP team the resources necessary to take development to the next level.

GSAP has been independent software for nearly 15 years (since the Flash and ActionScript days!) primarily supported by Club GSAP memberships, their paid tiers which offer even more tools and plugins to enhance GSAP further. GSAP is currently used on more than 12 million websites.

I chatted with Cassie Evans — GSAP’s Lead Bestower of Animation Superpowers and CSS-Tricks contributor — who confidently expressed that GSAP will remain available for the wider web.

It’s a big change, but we think it’s going to be a good one – more resources for the core library, more people maintaining the GSAP codebase, money for events and merch and community support, a VISUAL GUI in the pipeline.

The Webflow community has cause for celebration as well, as direct integration with GSAP has been a wishlist item for a while.

The webflow community is so lovely and creative and supportive and friendly too. It’s a good fit.

I’m so happy for Jack, Cassie, and Rodrigo, as well as super excited to see what happens next. If you don’t want to take my word for it, check out what Brody has to say about it.

Lovely @larkral asked me about my podfic set up. Here is a quick run through for you, and to any who are curious, especially those working on @caught-on-tape-fest.

But remember, every person already has the most important tool for a good recording. Your breath. No matter what tools you use to record a podfic, be in a place where you are sitting comfortably. Raise your shoulders and engage your core muscles. When you slump, your diaphragm is compressed and your voice will be thin. Take some deep breaths before you begin.

Okay, back to me. I work at my dining room table. I have my mic, amp, laptop, headphones and a glass of water. My next additions will be a pop shield and a boom to hold the mic. I've been pondering setting up a more permanent place, but this is good for now. It's bright and stable and mostly quiet.

Well, quiet except for the fishtank, my cat (who yowls to get kibble and thinks that yowling at chipmunks out the window will equally as effective) and a stupid watch that beeps on the hour. So, yeah, maybe a better spot.

I was looking to purchase a used microphone off of kijiji, but @cutestkilla let me borrow her spare. She's an extremely talented musician and would be a good person to ask if you want to discuss hardware set up.

If you are lucky enough to use this kind of microphone, remember to hang ten, using the spacing of your hand to position your face before it. Also, you want the microphone to be stable.

When you press record, wait for a couple of seconds without speaking. That will give the software a baseline of the room's ambient noise to allow you to use its noise reduction tools.

"Goooood morning, everyone~! We are refreshed after a wonderful weekend and now it's time to Amp! Up Your Week!"

"We took a break from the podcast for a little bit... I'm sorry to those who have been anticipating our return. I'll be changing my schedule to only Mondays moving forward. Anyway, onto the show!"

Recently, a white stork was seen in the skies of Cheshire, England - which on its own doesn't sound too remarkable, but storks have been extinct in England for the past 600 years! With the efforts of the White Stork Project and with a donation from the Warsaw Zoo, these birds have been rescued and have been slowly repopulating and have begun having their offspring rewilding in safe spaces. I look forward to seeing this population grow and thrive once again~!

Reinforcement learning AI might bring humanoid robots to the general public. Though many AI tools have had their controversies lately, Reinforcement Learning could potentially replace the current software used by bipedal bots (such as the ones used by Boston Dynamics). When discussing AI, please remember that Artificial Intelligence is so much broader than what the "AI Bad" community gives credit to. These AIs with Reinforcement Learning could potentially help do simple tasks with those with disabilities or in elderly community. I personally love learning about how the general public approaches robotics and the growths they accomplish.

Finally, music time! I don't have much recently in terms of music recommendations... so uhhh, this song has been plaguing my house since my dad will do the dance out of nowhere... :

June is Pride Month but also Men's Mental Health month. I wanted to bring this up as I've observed that men are commonly accepted to "accept" their struggle and bottle their emotions. More often than not, people will reach out to them to "help", but when no actions are done and it's just 'I'm sorry' lip-service, it's the same as not helping at all...

We're all people, with every struggle being unique and impactful on ourselves. Be kind to each other but also kind to ourselves. If your body needs rest, remember to give yourself time to recover and heal.

Thank you for listening, and I hope to see you all next week!

The Hidden Energy Wasters in Your Office & How to Fix Them

The Hidden Energy Wasters in Your Office & How to Fix Them

Modern offices are full of devices, systems, and practices that silently waste energy, increasing

operational costs and reducing sustainability. Identifying these hidden energy wasters is essential

for every business aiming to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Below, we detail

the most overlooked energy drains in your workplace and offer practical, actionable fixes.

Inefficient Lighting Systems: The Silent Culprit

Outdated lighting is one of the largest energy drains in commercial office spaces. Fluorescent tubes,

halogen bulbs, and incandescent lighting not only consume more electricity but also generate excess

heat, increasing cooling demands.

How to Fix It:

 Switch to LED lighting: LED bulbs consume up to 75% less energy and last significantly

longer.

 Install motion sensors and daylight sensors to control lighting based on occupancy and

natural light availability.

 Use task lighting instead of fully illuminating large areas unnecessarily.

Phantom Power: The Devices That Drain Energy When Off

Many electronics continue to draw power even when turned off — this is known as phantom power

or vampire energy. Computers, monitors, chargers, printers, and even coffee machines contribute to

this hidden wastage.

How to Fix It:

 Use advanced power strips that cut off power to devices when not in use.

 Encourage employees to unplug chargers and turn off devices at the end of the day.

 Implement automated shutdown policies through IT for non-critical systems after hours.

Overworked HVAC Systems: Inefficiency in Heating and Cooling

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems can account for up to 40% of a

commercial building’s energy use. Poorly maintained or outdated systems consume more energy

and provide uneven temperature control.

How to Fix It:

 Schedule regular HVAC maintenance, including filter replacement and duct inspection.

 Invest in smart thermostats that adjust temperatures based on occupancy patterns.

 Seal leaks around windows and doors to reduce energy loss.

 Consider zoning HVAC systems to control temperatures in different office areas

independently.

Old Office Equipment: Energy-Hungry Machines

Printers, copiers, fax machines, and even refrigerators that are more than a few years old tend to be

significantly less efficient than newer models.

How to Fix It:

 Replace outdated equipment with ENERGY STAR® rated appliances.

 Consolidate printing and copying to central multifunction devices.

 Implement print management software to reduce unnecessary printing and power usage.

Poor Insulation and Air Leaks: Invisible Energy Loss

A large amount of heating and cooling energy is lost through insufficient insulation, gaps in doors,

windows, ceilings, and wall panels.

How to Fix It:

 Conduct a professional energy audit to identify problem areas.

 Use thermal imaging tools to spot temperature leaks.

 Improve insulation in walls, ceilings, and floors.

 Install weather stripping and double-glazed windows.

Unoptimized Server Rooms: Constant Power Drains

Server rooms and data closets often run 24/7, consuming huge amounts of energy for both

processing and cooling.

How to Fix It:

 Virtualize servers to reduce hardware and power needs.

 Use high-efficiency cooling systems and direct airflow solutions.

 Seal server rooms properly to contain climate control.

 Monitor server temperatures and avoid overcooling.

Excessive Artificial Cooling in Unused Spaces

Many offices cool or heat unoccupied spaces, such as unused conference rooms, storage areas, or

unused cubicles.

How to Fix It:

 Install occupancy sensors linked to HVAC controls.

 Set separate temperature zones for different office areas.

 Use smart building systems to dynamically adjust temperature settings.

Inefficient Office Habits: The Human Factor

Employee behavior plays a key role in energy usage. From leaving lights on to keeping windows open

while the AC runs, these habits contribute to avoidable energy waste.

How to Fix It:

 Run awareness campaigns on energy-saving habits.

 Create a green team or appoint energy champions within departments.

 Offer incentives or recognition for departments that reduce energy use the most.

Poor Use of Natural Light: Underutilized Resources

Many office spaces have windows and skylights that are covered or underused, leading to greater

dependency on artificial lighting.

How to Fix It:

 Rearrange desks to maximize daylight exposure.

 Use light-colored interiors and reflective surfaces to bounce daylight around.

 Install automated blinds to regulate heat and glare while still allowing in natural light.

Always-On Screens and Displays

Digital signage, unused monitors, and televisions in waiting areas or boardrooms that run 24/7 add

to the overall power consumption.

How to Fix It:

 Use auto-off timers or motion sensors for displays.

 Power down screens during non-business hours.

 Audit all displays and determine which ones are essential.

Elevator Energy Consumption

Elevators consume significant amounts of electricity, especially in multi-story buildings, yet their

energy use is often overlooked.

How to Fix It:

 Opt for energy-efficient elevator systems with regenerative drives.

 Encourage the use of stairs for lower floors.

 Install sleep mode functionality for idle elevators.

Wasted Water Heating Energy

Kitchenettes and restrooms in offices often have water heaters running continuously, leading to

energy waste, especially during nights and weekends.

How to Fix It:

 Use tankless water heaters that operate on-demand.

 Insulate hot water pipes to minimize heat loss.

 Set water heater timers to operate during office hours only.

Conclusion: Turn Your Office into an Energy-Efficient Powerhouse

Reducing energy waste in your office doesn’t require a massive overhaul. By identifying these

hidden culprits, you can make strategic changes that drastically cut energy costs and improve your

workplace’s sustainability footprint. Every watt saved contributes not only to lower utility bills but

also to a more environmentally responsible operation.

Why Music Teachers Need Insurance Now More Than Ever?

In today’s fast-paced world, music teachers do more than take students beyond melodies and rhythms. They run businesses, prevent invaluable instruments from being stolen, and manage logistics for in-person and virtual lessons. But this responsibility comes with various risks - from injuries to damages - that can throw even the best-timed schedule into disarray. That’s where the right insurance coverage is not just smart; it’s critical.

The Real Risks Music Teachers Face

If you are providing piano lessons from your home studio or traveling to your students’ homes to teach violin, your risks can be different. Say a student trips over an extension cord during a lesson, or your instrument is stolen while on the go. If a kid accidentally breaks your computer while you’re in the middle of an online session? These aren’t unusual situations - they happen far more often than expected.

And if you teach out of a rented studio space or your own home, you also have the potential for liability if any accidents happen on-site. A basic slip and fall can lead to thousands of dollars in legal fees and compensation, particularly if you do not have enough insurance coverage.

The word Music Lesson Insurance – what’s it?

Specifically, Music Lesson Insurance is a type of coverage intended for teachers who are in the business of music. It safeguards against the most frequently found liabilities associated with teaching, including third-party injury, property damage, professional mishaps, and even instruments that are lost or stolen.

These can usually vary based on your style of teaching: private lessons, group classes, workshops, remote sessions, etc. The aim is simple: protect yourself and your business against the unknown.

Typical Situations in Which Insurance Comes to the Rescue

Let’s say you’re teaching a drum lesson and a cymbal accidentally strikes a student, resulting in a minor injury. If you don’t have insurance, you’ll be personally responsible for any medical fees or legal claims.

Or say that you go to a music festival to teach lessons and find that your guitar and amp have been stolen from your car. Replacing them could cost you thousands of dollars - unless, of course, your insurance covers devices on the go.

These examples illustrate just how having the right coverage can keep both your wallet and your mind at ease.

Teaching Online? You Still Need Coverage

With the advent of Zoom and Google Meet, many music educators have become digital. This gives way to more flexibility but also poses new risks. For instance, student information could be compromised in a data breach. Everything is professional, and if your laptop malfunctions or your software crashes when you’re in a lesson, it can cripple your earnings and professionalism.

Luckily, many insurance companies now provide online teaching tools and cyber insurance coverage, so you’re covered no matter where your lessons happen.

How to Pick the Best Policy

Selecting insurance isn’t just about the most expensive plan - it’s about what’s right for your teaching model. Ask yourself:

Do I teach from home, in a rented studio, or on the road?

How many students do I serve weekly?

What tools or equipment do I use?

Are they in-person or virtual classes?

Answering such questions will help you pick a policy that covers what truly matters. Partnering with an entertainment insurance expert, like Clarion, provides advice and customized solutions for your specific needs.

It’s More Affordable Than You Think

One of the most common myths is that Music Lesson Insurance is an expensive outlay. The truth? The minimum liability coverage is typically more affordable than making good for a damaged instrument or addressing a legal claim. Many policies are offered monthly or yearly and can be scaled as your teaching business grows.

Consider it an investment in your career, not just layers of protection against worst-case scenarios.

Don’t Let Your Passion Go Unprotected

You’ve put in the time to develop your talents, win students’ trust, and build a satisfying career in music ed. It makes perfect sense to want to protect what you’ve built. Music Lesson Insurance is an important insurance net to catch you from everything, from protecting your instruments to protecting your reputation in the community!

Don’t wait for an incident - be proactive and protect the lessons, your livelihood, and your passion for teaching.

Power Detector+: Saving ROG Astral GPU With Current Spikes

GPU Tweak's Power Detector+ may detect anomalous current on ROG Astral graphics cards.

Power Detector+ for ASUS ROG Astral graphics cards allows you monitor your card at all times. This safety function keeps you informed of your graphics card's health.

What PowerDetector+ does

GPU Tweak III provides pin-by-pin current readouts from your GPU's power connection, helping you maximise Power Detector+. Any pin exceeding the 9.2 amp cable requirements will be detected.

Previous-generation ROG Astral, Astral LC, Astral, and Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 Platinum are Power Detector+-compatible.

Monitoring ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 power connections

You may inspect your ROG Astral graphics card's power connection many ways.

Check your card lights:

First, examine the card. The red LED power light on all ROG Astral graphics cards flashes during a current anomaly. Flashing lights indicate a problem. Again, everything happens on the hardware, thus no software is needed.

Check GPU Tweak Power Detector+:

GPU Tweak III's Power Detector+ area in the top-right corner provides extra information. Hovering over the card shows its pin configuration and current flow. This tool is useful for real-time monitoring if your multi-monitor or ultrawide arrangement lets Power Detector+ be open and visible alongside your game. A simple Alt-Tab works also.

Add OSD Power Detector+:

GPU Tweak III's OSD lets you monitor system information while gaming. Now that Power Detector+ is in the OSD, you may experiment with confidence on GPU power. You still need to alt-tab to see your GPU's specs and status, but this saves you time. GPU Tweak's OSD settings allow you to pick Power Detector+.

GPU Tweak III's OSD displays system metrics above your game window.

Enable an audible popup warning:

Also enable the OSD using the toggle on the right of the settings page. If your graphics card works, the OSD should show a “Normal” Power Detector+ line when everything finishes. If something is wrong, it will say “Warning”.

Turn on a warning popup.

In response to user demands, GPU Tweak III audibly reports problems. GPU Tweak III's gear icon in the upper-right corner opens the Settings menu. Scroll down the Settings menu's General tab to find Power Detector+. Check “enable Power Detector+ alert notice (Mainpage popup)”. Audio alerts will appear on this popup.

How to handle anomalies

If you detect anomalous current, you can attempt several solutions. First, secure the power line to the power source and graphics card. Second, use a high-quality power line to power your graphics card. All ASUS ROG power supply now contain a 12V-2×6 connection for the latest graphics cards. If you need a professional diagnosis, contact ASUS customer care.

Understanding Power BI in 2025

History and Evolution

Microsoft launched Power BI back in 2015, and it didn't just pop up overnight. This tool began its journey as a simple Excel plugin. Now, it's a towering force among business intelligence tools. With time, it has gained momentum acquiring enhanced features, more intelligent instruments, and closer system connections. These improvements transform data review from a tedious task into something resembling a super ability.

From Raw Figures to Actual Understanding

Power BI's core mission is to simplify complex info. It's awesome for keeping an eye on cash flow peeling back layers on customer trends or getting a clearer picture of the day-to-day business stuff. This nifty program can take data from anywhere—spreadsheets massive databases, or up in the cloud—and serves up neat interactive charts and summaries. It's all about helping you dive into patterns, catch stuff that doesn't fit, and share all those aha moments way easier with your crew with just a quick tap or two. For best results, many businesses choose to work with a Power BI implementation partner India to get the most out of the platform.

The Power Trio Behind Power BI

So, here's the breakdown of the three big pieces that keep Power BI doing its thing:

In Power BI Desktop, you create and craft your visual elements.

The online center known as Power BI Service, is where all your work is published and shared.

Power BI Mobile ensures your data sticks with you even if you're not at your workstation.

Best Key Features of Power BI in 2025

1. Copilot Integration in Power BI

Meet Copilot: Your AI-Powered Assistant

In Power BI 2025's coolest new features, Copilot takes center stage — this is Microsoft’s smart AI buddy made to boost what you do with data. It's here for everyone, no matter how much you know about data. Copilot lets you chat with Power BI in your everyday words, which means diving into data whipping up visuals, and pulling out cool insights gets super easy

Smarter Data Analysis, Made Simple

Copilot makes analyzing data a breeze. Rather than navigating menus or crafting intricate DAX equations, you must type in a query such as, "What were our top-performing products last quarter?" and boom – you see the visuals right away. Copilot lends a hand with everything – from whipping up measures and summaries to recommending the right visuals matched to your data. It smooths out the whole report-making gig cutting down on the grunt work and bumping up precision.

Boosting Productivity and Collaboration

For corporate groups, copilot cuts down on hours needed. It lowers the demand for extensive tech know-how freeing up folks to zero in on making choices rather than piecing together reports. You could be whipping up a snappy dashboard for the execs or exploring sales patterns for a big strategy session, and Copilot gets you there with speed and sureness.

Real-World Use Cases

Marketing crews are getting quick peeks at campaign results using "Copilot," while money management squads whip up instant budget summaries, no need to pen down queries. It's a massive shift for big shots looking for snap answers in meet-ups— "Copilot" grabs the lowdown right when they need it, no twiddling thumbs.

2. Advanced Security Measures in Power BI

Locking Down Data with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

The value of data is skyrocketing and keeping it safe is top priority. Power BI in 2025 has brought in a beefed-up Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to make sure peeps get a peek at stuff they're allowed to. Doesn't matter if you're in HR counting beans in finance or hustling in sales, your viewing rights are custom-fitted to your gig—just enough and no extras.

How RBAC Works

RBAC tosses permissions around like they're based on what hat you wear in the company. Rather than the hassle of picking who gets into what data for each person, bosses can now just plop users into ready-made roles. This locks down need-to-know info—think paychecks, money predictions, or secret company stats—keeping it eyes-for those with the key to the club.

Encryption That Meets Today’s Standards

Alongside RBAC, Power BI in 2025 strengthens encryption protocols to meet strict compliance requirements like GDPR and HIPAA. Data is encrypted both at rest and in transit, offering organizations a secure environment for sharing insights across departments, regions, or even external partners.

Why It Matters for Organizations

Imagine a global company with dozens of departments accessing the same dashboard. Thanks to RBAC, each department only sees the data relevant to them. Meanwhile, enhanced encryption ensures that all of this happens securely—no risk of data leaks, no compliance issues. It's a peace-of-mind upgrade that businesses can't afford to ignore.

3. Direct Lake Live Editing: Real-Time Analytics

What Is Direct Lake?

Direct Lake is Power BI’s high-performance engine that connects directly to data lakes, enabling fast access to massive datasets without the need for duplication or pre-loading. It's designed to handle big data with speed and efficiency.

Introducing Live Editing for Semantic Models

In Power BI in 2025, live editing comes to semantic models—allowing users to make real-time changes to data models without the hassle of republishing or refreshing. It’s a game-changer for anyone who needs to move quickly and adjust data on the fly.

Real-Time Modeling, Real-Time Insights

With live editing, teams can build and refine models in real time, accelerating the process of analysis and reporting. It’s perfect for agile environments that require quick decision-making based on the latest data.

Performance That Keeps Up
