Author Claren McGivney’s New Book Breathe for Me
Riverton, UT, April 02, 2024 –-Claren McGivney has completed her new book, “Breathe for Me”: a fictional tale about a girl in her senior year, fated by tragedy, where, just beyond, a chilling, enchanting adventure awaits.
Author Claren McGivney is usually found with her head in a book, and that book would be more often than not a romantic adventure full of mystery. She has always wanted to write a novel, and with her debut book, “Breathe for Me,” it has now become a reality.
Claren has loved and studied ancient Celtic folklore and history most of her life. Her father was the true inspiration for this as she was raised in the joy of all things Irish.
When not reading or writing, Claren enjoys cooking, gardening, and playing with her pups. She lives in Utah with her three sons and three granddaughters close by.
Claren writes, “Dylan had yelled something and pulled the steering wheel hard to the right. My head whipped around and hit the side window. Then my stomach flipped over, and I was, like, floating above my seat, and bam! We were rolling! The seatbelt chopped me in half as I grabbed for the dashboard. A loud, screeching metal sound made me shudder, and I bit my tongue. We were sliding on our side, yellow and orange sparks threatening to consume us.”

Study Comparing Windows 11 Pro Laptops with UFS and SSD Storage
Durham, NC, April 02, 2024 –When it’s time for schools and districts to purchase devices for students and staff, both budget and performance are top concerns. One way to cut on costs might be to configure devices with universal flash storage (UFS) instead of solid-state drives (SSDs), but how might this affect performance? To find out, PT put two sets of Windows 11 Pro laptops to the test: the Lenovo 100w Gen 4 and the Lenovo 300w Yoga Gen 4. In each pair, one laptop had a UFS card and the other had an SSD—otherwise, they were identical. When PT engineers timed how long it took the laptops to complete common education tasks, they found that the devices with UFS delivered performance on par with their SSD-equipped counterparts.
According to the report, “PT performance engineers hand-timed general productivity tasks—including boot times and Microsoft 365 app tasks—and tasks in CoSpaces Edu, Blender, and Labster. We saw that the Lenovo Gen 4 laptops with UFS storage delivered performance comparable to the same laptops with SSDs. Choosing UFS for education devices doesn’t have to mean a downgrade in performance: Our results indicate a consistent experience for learners and education professionals in a variety of scenarios, regardless of storage choice.”
