What is coeliac disease?
Coeliac disease (pronounced seel-ee-ak) is an abnormal immune response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and oats.
Watch Professor Geoff Forbes, Consultant Gastroenteroglist from Royal Perth Hospital, talk about coeliac disease.
It causes damage to the small intestine, also known as the small bowel.
In all people, the lining of the bowel is covered in tiny, hair-like projections (villi) that break-down and absorb food nutrients.
In people with coeliac disease, the villi become inflamed and flattened (villous atrophy). The surface area of the bowel that can then absorb nutrients is greatly decreased.
This can lead to various symptoms that can substantially affect a person’s health and quality of life.
Coeliac disease affects approximately 1 in 100 Australians. However, 4 out of 5 people living with coeliac disease are undiagnosed. This means there are around 160,000 Australians who have the disease but don’t know it yet.
Coeliac disease is not an allergy and should not be confused with wheat intolerance or wheat allergy. You should only start a gluten-free diet (GF) on advice from your doctor.
How do you get coeliac disease?
You must be born with a genetic predisposition to develop coeliac disease.
It is still poorly understood but it is thought that environmental factors play an important role in triggering coeliac disease in infancy, childhood or later in life.
People who are at increased risk of coeliac disease
You are more at risk of developing coeliac disease if you have:
- a family history of the disease
- type 1 diabetes
- liver disease
- an existing autoimmune disease.
Signs and symptoms
The symptoms of coeliac disease vary widely.
Your doctor may recommend further testing for coeliac disease if you have:
- iron deficiency anaemia and/or other vitamin and mineral deficiencies
- stomach and digestive symptoms such as:
- nausea (feeling sick)
- flatulence (passing wind)
- abdominal pain
- an autoimmune disease
- unexplained weight changes
- fertility issues (unable to have a baby).
Effects of being undiagnosed
Many people with coeliac disease have no obvious symptoms but experience long-term health effects including:
- chronic poor health
- liver disease
- poor dental health.
How do I know I have coeliac disease?
As coeliac disease is a serious medical condition with lifelong implications, a definitive diagnosis is essential.
If you suspect you have coeliac disease, see your doctor for a diagnosis.
Managing coeliac disease
A lifelong gluten-free diet is the only treatment.
Changing to a gluten-free diet should only be undertaken after the diagnosis of coeliac disease has been properly established by your doctor, as it involves major lifestyle changes.
Where should I get help with my diet?
You should seek advice guidance from a dietitian with experience in coeliac disease. They can help you to manage a gluten-free diet that is also nutritionally balanced.
Where to get help
- See your doctor
- Visit a GP after hours
- Ring healthdirect on 1800 022 222
- Coeliac disease is an abnormal immune response to gluten in food.
- There is no cure and the disease can be managed by a gluten-free diet.

Dorot introduces you with the new online design tool for the hydraulic engineers: The Air-Valve PRO!
Air-Valve PRO, or short AV Pro, is designed to allow a designer of water networks an easy-to-use & comprehensive solution for an accurate size selection of air valves and their preferred locations along the pipeline.
AV-PRO's algorithm is based on Dorot's extensive knowledge and expertise gained over more than 70 years of experience, along with up-to-date Air Valve Research and Development, as well as advanced aerodynamic equations.
Since every system is different and engineers may incorporate personal approaches from safety margins, commercial considerations to design priorities, AV-PRO was especially designed to be user friendly, in form and content editing, allowing intuitive manual modifications, including moving, adding, deleting, increasing and decreasing sizes.
You have all your design engineering tools at hand, all by just using a few simple mouse clicks.
All design results may be saved on the engineer's computer, so that previous projects can always be edited whenever needed.
AV-PRO's results are both graphic and numeric, thus allowing the engineer to add them to the general and detailed network design, and to the project's documentation. AV-PRO's is free to use following a short registration process. No licensing downloads, installing or payments are required.
Just internet connection! It’s that SIMPLE!

This weekend I went to the Natural History Museum and had a great time. The Silk Road exhibit was wonderful. I wish I could have take pictures but photography was not allowed. Then I went to a Hallmark store and found some very cool products featuring typography and here they are.
Poster Art-love these words
Love what this says too.
coin purse or make-up bag
A book carved into a letter s. So cool!
hugs and cookies by Lolita
I found this one at Lowe’s
These are napkins and you really can’t see it but it says I found the vodka it was hiding in the orange juice. LOL. Sorry about the blurry pictures.
I had a blast looking at the the typography art. I feel inspired to add some of my art on some new products. I like to create iphone cases, workbooks, coin purses and an apron. Positive words do make a sweet difference.
I also found some really cute ideas for Valentine’s Day and will be posting those next. I am still working on my to-do project list. This list coming this week.
-have a sweet day

By ALYSSA ARONOW
Allegheny students will once again showcase their talents this weekend at Orchesis, the annual dance production. For President Brittany Johnson, ‘12 and Promotions Chair Tracy-Ann Walters, ‘12, this performance will be bittersweet, as they choreograph and dance for the show for the last time.
One hundred and forty students and 20 different dances will be featured in several different genres. All of the pieces are choreographed by students.
The choreographers’ efforts have been noticed by a number of students. Kaitlyn Bloom, ’13, had never seen a dance performance until she saw Orchesis two years ago. She said the fact that students choreograph the pieces gives the show another dimension.
“I just think it is generally more enjoyable to see dances put on by our peers,” Bloom said. “I don’t know if Orchesis would be better if it was directed by professors, but the fact that it is choreographed by students adds an additional, unique element to the show.”
Duane Baptiste, ‘13, thinks that a show run by professors would be too formal and specific.
“I think by having students choreograph, it allows for more variety in genres and dancer involvement,” he said.
The student choreographers explain the joy they get from designing the dances.
“Seeing something I choreographed myself on stage at the end of eight weeks is always amazing,” said Brittany Johnson, ‘12.
Johnson, who danced for 12 years prior to college, is also a performer in the production.
“I really enjoy dancing,” she said. “I love choreographing and I like it because it’s my own work, but on the other hand I just love learning new styles of dance, or other peoples’ styles.”
Tracy-Ann Walters, a choreographer and Promotions Chair of Orchesis, also explained her passion for the annual dance performance.
“In one word, Orchesis means expression,” she said. “Orchesis allows people to express their emotions through dance. This purpose is to give the opportunity to dancers, and those who have never performed before to work together and grow in dance.”
Although some people in Orchesis have prior dance experience, others do not.
“It really gives people a chance that have never danced before to shine and show that they can do something more than the academics here,” said Johnson.
Prior to Allegheny, the only dance experience Baptiste had was “stepping,” which he describes as making rhythm with just your body by stomping on the ground, clapping, or a combination of the two.
“I got dragged into Orchesis my freshman year and I had a lot of fun,” said Baptiste. “Even though it’s a lot of work, this is my third year now.”
After auditions, students and choreographers practice one night a week for eight weeks, with an hour long practice per dance.
“I put this much time and energy into it so I’m really looking forward to it,” said Baptiste.
“I always look forward to the dances I’m in because I want to make sure I get the reaction out of people. If I don’t get a reaction out of the audience then I haven’t done a good job performing.”
“A lot of great pieces are happening this year because I have seen them all throughout,” said Johnson. “It’s been nice to see all of them grow into what they are today.”

I had to write poetry for my Creative Writing course and I hate poetry so I found myself just writing about Prison Break all the time. Mostly Riots, Drill and The Devil and more specifically T-bag. So here they are.( Prison Break PoetryCollapse )
Next week we're into fiction, I'm going to enjoy that far more than poetry.
(Oh yeah and I realize that the white gang in the show is not the Aryan Nation. Can't remember where that name is from. And only after did I remember that it was Maytag with the faux-hawk, not T-bag but whatever. Man, that's a flawed poem.)

Peak Mind Pro: Bridging the Belief System GapOct 11, 2022
We are driven by invisible forces. The decisions we make, the actions we take, and our reactions to events are all determined by our beliefs, many of which are subconscious, meaning out of our direct awareness.
Our beliefs are essentially our minds' operating system for how to be human and how to navigate this world. Our beliefs are the things we hold to be true, and we operate as though they are unalterable facts.
The fact is, though, that there's a lot of variability between all of our belief systems. My "facts" may not be the same as yours, and that can lead to confusion, anger, and friction, especially when our beliefs don't align and we have to interact regularly or work together to accomplish tasks.
While we think about this belief misalignment with polarizing things like politics, religion, and social issues, differences in belief systems can show up in a number of more subtle yet still impactful ways. Our beliefs determine how open we are to change, how we approach conflict or disagreement, and how we prioritize tasks and make decisions. Depending on their underlying belief system, individuals' reactions in these situations or to proposed solutions might be quite different.
We can't assume that everyone thinks about these things in the same way, nor can we assume that our way is necessarily the right way. It's important to have the psychological strength to become aware of our own beliefs, to take others' perspectives and understand theirs, and find effective ways to resolve or work through differences.
Bridging the Gap Between Beliefs
If you've ever tried to change someone's beliefs, especially if you tried to do so through arguing or appealing to logic, you probably felt frustrated and ineffective. Beliefs are tricky things. While they CAN be changed, it's not always simple, and doing so can be counterintuitive. Arguing or disputing can actually backfire as the other person works to defend - read that as strengthen - their position. So what can we do, then, to resolve the impasse that arises from our opposing beliefs?
Perhaps finding ways to bridge the gap between beliefs, rather than trying to change the other person's beliefs, may be a more effective route to go. Fortunately, underneath our various operating systems, we all share the same goals. Research shows that most people, independent of culture, gender, age, or socioeconomic status, are more similar than different. We all want the same things, things like security and safety, for our children to be happy and healthy, peace, and to be free from pain. If we can find common ground, we can begin to collaborate in more meaningful and effective ways despite some differences in our operating systems.
When you are locked in a stalemate with someone or find yourself really struggling to understand how in the world they could believe what they do, try these tips.
1. Put yourself in their shoes.
Try to see the world from their perspective. Often, we skip this important step and go straight into building the case for why they are wrong and why we are right. When we're doing that, we are viewing their position FROM OURS and judging it in some way. Instead, try to put yourself in their shoes and embody what they must believe, what they must take to be true, and why that might be the case. Only from this place of understanding can we move forward.
2. Dig until you find the common ground.
On the surface, it may seem like you want two very different things. For example, perhaps you want a hybrid workforce and they want to return to in person work. Those seem mutually exclusive, and you can exert a lot of effort trying to convince them to see things your way...as they are working just hard to get you to see it theirs. Instead, ask yourself and them why it's important. What lies underneath those beliefs? Keep digging until you find some sort of common ground, then use that as a starting place. Perhaps underneath the beliefs that hybrid or in person is better is a strong desire for cohesive teams. If you can identify a shared belief or a common value or drive - perhaps that strong teams are the foundation of good business, in this example - then you can start brainstorming, communicating, and working together on finding real solutions.
3. If nothing else, practice compassion.
Compassion is empathy + kindness. Once you put yourself in their shoes, try to muster some kindness. In the midst of our own frustration and judgment, it's hard to garner positive feelings toward someone, but cultivating compassion can diffuse anger and promote more cooperation and prosocial attitudes. One way to do that is to imagine that person as a young child. What must've happened to them to lead them to see the world that way? What or who taught them those beliefs?
4. Level up your understanding of beliefs - how they are formed and how to change them.
Join us on Tuesday, October 18, 2022, for our next Quarterly Psych Strength workshop in which we'll go deep into this important topic.

An Expert Weighs In On How To Put The Pieces Back Together After A Break Up
The moment you decide to end a relationship OR are forced out of one because of your significant other’s decision, the world as you know it, ends. Our partners become a part of our days, nights and routines, and unhinging from that reality is disorientating. Dr. Carolina Castaños, Ph.D and award winning relationship expert, spoke to MadameNoire about the journey from devastation to new beginnings. Castaños pulls from tools mentioned in her new project, MovingOn, the first interactive program designed to help people overcome heartbreak.
Get into her advice below:
The first few days after a breakup are hard. How do you suggest women fight the temptation to “run back” to their ex just to relieve the pain?
The first days are tough, and we enter a phase of denial and wanting to do anything to regain our lover. We enter a state that is similar to drug withdrawal where we crave. We have this intense motivation to connect (we might even do things that are outside of who we are and what we would normally do), we are obsessed (we think about this person all the time and it is so difficult to keep them out of our mind). The first thing is to understand what is happening inside of us… we are craving the love we once had. Also know that this is a phase and it will pass… but what this phase is telling us is that we are grieving and that we need to do things that make us feel good, we need to pay attention to what we need. We need to take care of ourselves, of our bodies, of our soul. I recommend establishing the following in our daily routine:
- Support: find a group of individuals that are going through what you are going through… you will realize that there is nothing wrong with you and that you are not alone.
- Reach out to friends and family. Do whatever it is that you need and your life. You can get together in small safe groups of friends/family that are understanding, non-judgemental and are there for you.
- Find things that bring you joy: this can be meditation, exercising, going out on walks in nature. Be mindful of these moments. For example, if you go outside, notice the sun, it’s warmth, the leaves in trees, the life in each flower, butterfly, bird. Listen to nature and allow yourself to feel it.
- Be kind with yourself. There will be times when you will have a strong urge to connect with your former partner… see if you can talk with yourself as you would to a friend… what would you say to your friend? How would you feel towards your friend?
What are some ways to mentally or physically self soothe while mourning a relationship?
- Meditation is a great resource. Many times, though, it is hard to keep your mind quiet and stay with yourself. If your mind is running, you can try therapy where your therapist can provide tools and teach you how to reach that place.
- A warm bath… as warm as you can. Heat relaxes muscles and helps you calm down. Add some essential oils (lavender is calming) and some soothing music.
- Breathing exercises: there are some specific breathing exercises (for example belly breathing0 that can help calm our nervous system down and allow us to relax.
Is there a time period women should wait before dating/entering a serious relationship again? Why/why not?
One of the things we tend to do is to start relationships, go on dating sites to find someone that can help soothe our pain. I always recommend to wait until you are healed, until you have processed the end of your relationship. Going into a relationship too soon might only make things work because it is likely that you will end up repeating the same patterns. There is not a determined time frame for grief as it varies from individual to individual. How we grief depends on our past losses and how we have dealt and processed them. Many times, the end of a relationship opens up wounds that we thought were in the past. Many times we are unaware of this and only when things quiet down a little, we are ready to see all these connections.
How do you prevent yourself from “rebounding?” When can you trust yourself to know you’re really ready?
You know that you are ready when you are at peace with yourself, when you feel that you have not only accepted but also when you see that there is actually something positive that came out of this painful experience. This experience has allowed you to grow, to see things in a different perspective, when you have dealt with all the emotions that come with this process: hurt, anger, fear, and maybe guilt.
Are there stages of grief in breakup as there are in death? If so, what are they and how do you navigate each one?
A breakup is a loss, thus we go through a grief process. There are “stages” but they are messy and different for each person. We have in the literature the five stages of grief: denial, pain and guilt and bargaining (if I would have done this, maybe things would be different… or if I do this, then we can go back to what we had), anger, “depression” (a sense of loneliness), and eventually acceptance and hope. These are all moments we go through, but they do not happen in order. There can be moments when we feel hopeful and happy and then something triggers anger or sadness… like when we lose someone, we go through all these emotions in different ways and times, in no specific order. What is important is to allow ourselves to be where we are and feel how we feel. We need to find an outlet to our feelings but the key is how we let those feelings out. That is what makes the difference. Many times we get angry and frustrated with ourselves for feeling how we feel. Sometimes our guilt takes us to beating ourselves up instead of finding this experience as an opportunity to learn from life and ourselves. This is, I believe, the transformative piece: learning to be with ourselves and our feelings in a kind and compassionate way…. Just like we would if our child or best friend was sad or angry… we would be that with them, without judging, without telling them how terrible they are.
For women who can’t see to the other side of their heartache, what words of advice would you have for them?
If you think abut your life, you can realize that there have been many losses, many challenges, and you have gone through them. They have all made you stronger. You have so much strength, you are stronger than what you believe. Think about all the things that you have done in your life, all your achievements… even though you had tough times, you were able to go through them. You might go back to school and remember a time when you had difficulty in a class or a certain subject, you were able to go through it, maybe think of graduation, school or college… think of the effort it took, and you did it… maybe friendships or relationships that were difficult and you were able to survive them. Make a list of all your achievements and besides each one of them remember all you had to give up to get to them and how you did it. Notice how you feel towards yourself as you go back to each one of them. See if you can connect with pride… feeling proud of yourself. That is your light, that is your strength, that is you.

Congratulations on a job well done!
This week, two Brockport hockey players -- Ryan Romeo and Casey Winn -- will be completing their undergraduate studies.
But, they'll be back to work on their masters degrees...and play hockey.
With the 2020-2021 season having been canceled because of Covid, they both have a year of eligibility left.
Congrats, men, on your bachelor degrees!
Graduation is always a bittersweet time.
Excitement is in the air, as the graduates have a whole lifetime ahead of them in family, career, and service.
At that same time, there's some sadness, as the seniors look back at the end of their academic careers and, for most of them, the end of their hockey careers.
For this year's graduates, their hockey careers ended prematurely. There wasn't a 2020-2021 season because of Covid protocols. It's unfortunate.
So, we say our "good bye" and wish "good luck" to the four young men who will be leaving Brockport this week, a foursome of student-athletes who played the game the right way and pursued their studies with the same vigor.
We wish them the very best in what the future holds for them and we thank them for the magic and memories they provided as Golden Eagles. There was plenty of that as they were a super-successful crew on the ice. They helped produce two 15-win campaigns which were bested only by 17-win seasons in 1968-1969 and 1987-1988.
The men moving on are...
Ethan and Jeremy Solat: Jeremy joined his brother in the 2018-2019 season and they were a great sibling combo to watch. Ethan amassed 17 goals and 19 assists in his 3 seasons and Jeremy lit the lamp 13 times and assisted on 12 others in his 2 seasons. The Colorado natives were always hustling on the ice and possessed of great energy.
Shane Visnick: He accumulated 5 goals 7 assists in his 3 seasons and was know for being a fantastic defensive forward. The Florida native was a tireless physical force to reckon with, at 6'1" and 220 pounds.
Tyler Williams: Hailing from Rome, NY, he had some quiet numbers (1 goal, 2 assists) which belie his value to the team...he was a defenseman's defenseman who helped keep the SUNYAC's talented forwards at bay. His NCAA success was a testament to his hard work as he had to recover from an injury sustained in the juniors.
Sal Balbi played for Brockport in the late-1990s. In 51 games he tallied 10 goals and 13 assists for 23 points while playing clean, disciplined hockey, racking up just 14 penalty minutes.
You may have seen on ABC world news last week the story about Jim Kasta whose wedding took place in an ICU in Rochester. He played for Brockport in the early 1990s.
Said the newlywed Mrs. Kasta: “I guess my wish is for everyone to realize that even in the midst of a pandemic that love is always there and if you look you’ll find it.”
Watch the video and read the story here:
Longtime fans of the program will fondly remember James Cody and Chase Nieuwendyk. You knew you were watching greatness on the ice. Those men have been named to the SUNYAC's All-Decade team of the 2010s. Congratulations!!
One of Brockport's newest additions is Chris Aarons. In the EHL scouting reports created by Neutral Zone, they have him ranked as 9th best among the 2000 year class. They say "Crafty in tight areas and the puck finds him. End of game type player w/leadership qualities." Here's an interview Neutral Zone did with the young man back in 2019:
The Press-Republican looks back at the top Plattsburgh-area sports stories of 2020. Making the list is the Cardinals 2OT win over the Golden Eagles in the playoffs. We would have loved a Brockport win but it was an incredible game, one of the best ever -- the 9th longest in NCAA history. It was also the last DIII hockey we'll see until October of 2021 -- or later.
Give a listen to the EShow podcast which covers EHL hockey. The newest episode features a great, 35-minute free-flowing interview with Brockport coach Brian Dickinson who speaks on a wide variety of topics like his love for the EHL, his NCAA coaching journey, how COVID has impacted the game and student-athletes, and his fight with cancer and how the community and hockey world have been there for him.
Tyler West of the Stylus wrote this excellent article about Coach's cancer diagnosis and what Brian means to Golden Eagle Hockey, the players, the students, and the entire Brockport community:
By Tyler West / News Editor
More than just a coach — that’s one thing the men who have played for him all say he is.
“He cares about his players and treats us as if we were his own. As a person he’s taught me that there’s more to life than hockey,” SUNY Brockport junior Mitch Parsons said.
Brian Dickinson, Head Coach of the SUNY Brockport men’s hockey team, was recently diagnosed with cancer. A man who has offered support, hard work, and dedication to the Brockport community for over 20 years, is now getting that in return.
Dickinson has been the head coach since 1996 and has tallied over 200 career wins. He has coached 24 all-conference players, with nine First-Team selections, two players of the year and one rookie of the year. He was even named the SUNYAC Coach of the Year — twice.
But when you ask his team about him, they say that he is so much more than just a coach.
“One thing Coach has taught me is that life is bigger than just hockey. The morals and values he lives by, and the things that he constantly preaches backs this up,” SUNY Brockport senior Casey Winn said. “He always tells us to have each other’s backs, whether it’s on or off the ice. Stand up and look out for one another. He always wants us involved in the community. He just wants us to be good people and treat others with respect. It shows the type of person Coach is.”
Winn has played for the team for three years now, and he says he can’t imagine what the hockey team would look like without Dickinson. And he’s not the only one.
Dickinson’s team describes him as the backbone, the face of the team, and note his constant dedication to not only the team, but the community.
“The amount of time and effort he has put forth for this team is unbelievable with recruiting, planning schedules, and making practice plans,” SUNY Brockport junior Corey Tam said. “One thing that Coach has taught me is the value of hard work. He demonstrates hard work with whatever he does whether it’s at practice, working at the SERC or in the mail-room, or volunteering on campus for an event. He is always willing to put in the work.”
There’s no doubt that Coach Dickinson genuinely cares about his team’s well-being. Each Thanksgiving, he opens his house to his team for dinner if they can’t be home with their families. This is something many of his players — former and current — say they will always remember.
“He genuinely cares about his players. To be honest, I’ve been around the hockey world a long time and the best coaches care about the well-bring of their players, both on and off the ice,” SUNY Brockport alum Matthew DeLuca said. “Without a doubt, he cared about us. Each year he even opened up his own house for Thanksgiving dinner to all of the players, especially like myself, who lived too far away to travel home and back before our annual Thanksgiving tournament.”
DeLuca describes Dickinson as dedicated, consistent, and genuine.
“Coach Dickinson believed in me enough to put me in a position to become the captain of our team. In doing so, he provided me with some of the best and most proud moments of my life — moments that I often think about and will never forget. In return, this is the least I could do,” DeLuca said about creating a GoFundMe page for Dickinson.
The page has garnered thousands of dollars in donations to go towards Dickinson’s ongoing medical expenses. Donations have come from his players, community members, co-workers, alumni, and even from players on opposing teams.
“I’m not sure if everyone realizes this or not, but that list of donors has the names of several players and coaches that we used to compete against in the SUNYAC. I believe that when former opposing players and coaches donate to this cause, that speaks volumes about not only the hockey community itself, but also the respect they have for Coach Dickinson,” DeLuca said.
Over 240 people have donated in just four days.
Along with coaching hockey, Dickinson oversees daily operations of the Tuttle North Ice Arena and supervises a staff of about 25 student workers. He lives in Brockport with his wife Melisa and his five children, and is an active participant in the community.
If you would like to donate to help Dickinson and his family with medical costs, you can donate here.
Our beloved Coach, Brian Dickinson, was recently diagnosed with cancer. Alumnus Matt DeLuca has started a GoFundMe to help Brian through this fight. Please give. Brian is one of the really good guys. Through his long coaching career he has positively impacted thousands of lives on and off campus. Now, let's return the favor.
Here's something that appeared in the "Good News" section of President Heidi Macpherson's October message to her colleagues on campus:

Here, he has created a very sleek profiled liner lock folder with a total thickness of .35". Due to the complexity of the mechanism, liner locks tend to be fairly thick. Cliff has spent considerable time over the past years testing and experimenting his designs to create a knife that is sturdy, but as low profile as possible.
The wharncliffe style blade is formed from a highly complex mosaic Damascus forged from 15N20 and 1084 carbon steels. The bolsters include pure nickel for even higher contrast. Cliff has created a central tile depicting a walrus in extreme detail. This is surrounded by tiny radial patterns, with Cliff's hallmark, 'CP' forged into the background. The bolsters meet perfectly to the premium fossil walrus ivory scales. The scales have been sculpted and textured toward the back. The screws have been heat colored. Fossil walrus ivory thumb stud. Fully fileworked titanium liners surround a Damascus backbar. The fit and finish is as good as it gets. The action is silky smooth. The blade is perfectly centered.

Main Parts of an Airplane Writing Service
Main Parts of an Airplane to fly, one should raise the weight of the airplane itself, the fuel, the travelers, and the freight. To produce lift, the airplane needs to be pressed through the air. The turbine engines, which are situated below the wings, supply the thrust to conquer drag and press the Main Parts of an Airplane forward through the air.
The majority of planes are developed so that the external pointers of the wings are greater than where the wings are connected to the fuselage. Wings likewise bring the fuel for the Main Parts of an Airplane. The stabilizers of the airplane assistance to keep the airplane pointed into the wind. The rudder and elevators permit the pilot to manage the yaw and pitch movement of the airplane, respectively. They are not utilized a terrific offer in airplane, as they tend to be heavy and long. Airplane engines have to be as compact and light-weight as possible.
The oppositional piston engine is just like the in-line, other than that the pistons are installed in pairs on opposite sides of the shaft. This produces a much shorter and lighter engine. In-line engines have actually ended up being incredibly popular in the little Main Parts of an Airplane market. Numerous little aircrafts have actually repaired landing gear which enhances drag, however keeps the airplane light-weight. When flying on a business airliner you will see that the pilot pulls back the landing gear really quickly after the airplane leaves the ground. This assists to reduce drag as the airplane rises.
The sole function of the engines is to offer thrust for the Main Parts of an Airplane. There are numerous various types of airplane engines consisting of: piston, turbofan, turboprop and turbojet. Some airplane, significantly gliders, does not have an engine.
Planes are created for a range of functions, many of them have the very same significant parts. Many airplane structures consist of a fuselage, wings, an empennage, landing gear, and a powerplant.
The cockpit holds the command and control area of an Main Parts of an Airplane. When flying, Modern airplane cockpits have a number of crucial instruments for managing the airplane on the ground as well as.
Engines create thrust and supply electrical and hydraulic power. Modern Main Parts of an Airplane are utilized with various kinds of engines, although jet engines are preferred with by many industrial airliners.
The undercarriage, likewise called landing gear, offers a platform for the Main Parts of an Airplane to stand in addition to plays a crucial evident function in landing and take-off.
Wings produce lift and manage the air flow while flying. Wing design is an important considers aeronautics: a wing is created to minimize drag at the leading edge, create lift by its crescent and handle air flow utilizing the rear edge. While sliding (i.e. without engine power), the wings enable the pilot to reduce the descent and enhance rate.
Slats change the angle of attack of the wings, enhancing lift. Slats are fitted at the leading edges of the wings, and deploying them enhances the angle of attack of the wings, enabling the pilot to enhance the lift created by the wing.
Flaps change the camber of the wings, enhancing lift. Flaps are generally fitted at the tracking edge of the wings. Extending the flaps enhance the camber of the wings airfoil, therefore enhancing lift at reduces speeds, a crucial function for landing.
Spoilers change the camber of areas of the wings, reducing lift. Spoilers are fitted on top of the wings, and are utilized to minimize lift on an area of the wing in a regulated way. Spoilers work for reducing lift without enhancing the airspeed of the airplane or without enhancing drag considerably.
Ailerons boost or reduce lifts asymmetrically, in order to alter roll and, therefore, move the airplane left or right while flying. Ailerons are hinged areas fitted at the back of each wing. Ailerons work asymmetrically as a pair: as the ideal aileron increases, the left one boils down and vice versa, hence making the Main Parts of an Airplane roll right or left, respectively.
The horizontal stabilizer assists preserve an Main Parts of an Airplane balance and stability in air travel. It does so by supplying a tiny wing at a particular range from the primary wings Elevators.
Elevators enhance or reduce lifts on the horizontal stabilizer symmetrically in order to manage the pitch movement of an Main Parts of an Airplane. Elevators are hinged surface areas fitted at the back of the horizontal stabilizer they work symmetrically as a pair: when the elevators are up, the airplane rises; when the elevators are down, the airplane comes down, when the elevators are horizontal, the Main Parts of an Airplane flies directly.
The vertical stabilizer avoids lateral motions of the Main Parts of an Airplane. Without a vertical stabilizer, the majority of airplane would lose lateral control, have the tendency to slip, enhance drag and end up being unmanageable.
The rudder controls the yaw movement of an Main Parts of an Airplane. In the air, nevertheless, the rudder is mainly utilized to collaborate best and left turns (the turns themselves are done with the ailerons) or to counter unfavorable yaw (e.g. when crosswinds presses the airplane laterally).
Main Parts of an Airplane to fly, one has to raise the weight of the airplane itself, the fuel, the travelers, and the freight. The turbine engines, which are situated below the wings, offer the thrust to get rid of drag and press the airplane forward through the air. Many aircrafts are created so that the external pointers of the wings are greater than where the wings are connected to the fuselage. These stabilizers of the airplane aid to keep the airplane pointed into the wind. Lots of little planes have actually taken care of landing gear which enhances drag, however keeps the airplane light-weight.

Statement by Wayne D. Angell, Member, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, before the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs, U.S. House of Representatives, October 19, 1993.
I appreciate this opportunity to give you my views on the accountability of monetary policy. As I have indicated previously in correspondence with you, my perspective is of one who throughout his career as an elected and appointed official has been in favor of opening government proceedings to the public and the press. Our democracy demands that the actions of its government be conducted "in the sunshine" to the greatest extent possible to ensure that the process of public policy formulation formulation /for·mu·la·tion/ (for?mu-la´shun) the act or product of formulating.
American Law Institute Formulation is appropriate and equitable; it also demands that government agencies adopt the very best policies. In some cases, there is a tradeoff between these two objectives. As my statement will explain, I believe the current legislative requirements for monetary policy accountability and the Federal Reserve's current policies regarding the provision of monetary policy information strike a reasonable balance between these objectives.
Monetary policy is best formulated for·mu·late
tr.v. for·mu·lat·ed, for·mu·lat·ing, for·mu·lates
a. To state as or reduce to a formula.
b. To express in systematic terms or concepts.
c. within a framework that provides an appropriate degree of insulation from day-to-day political pressures while requiring full accountability. The Congress gave the Federal Reserve some insulation, for example, by establishing long terms for members of the Board of Governors and by exempting the budget of the Federal Reserve System from congressional appropriations of funds.
But at the same time, the Congress has provided for full accountability of monetary policy. As you know, the Board of Governors is required to report to the Congress on its monetary policy plans and objectives twice each year. In hearings before this committee and the corresponding body in the Senate, the Chairman of the Board presents testimony on the monetary policy report and responds fully to your questions on monetary policy. Federal Reserve policy makers also testify To provide evidence as a witness, subject to an oath or affirmation, in order to establish a particular fact or set of facts.
Court rules require witnesses to testify about the facts they know that are relevant to the determination of the outcome of the case. as requested before this committee and other congressional committees about monetary policy and other matters of interest, including a detailed accounting of our expenditures.
Beyond the statutory requirements, the Federal Reserve provides significant additional information to the public about the conduct of monetary policy. In particular, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC See Federal Open Market Committee.
See Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). ) publishes minutes of each of its meetings. These minutes summarize sum·ma·rize

sum fully the discussion and indicate the attendance at the meetings. They show the results of all recorded votes A recorded vote is a vote in which the names of those voting for and against a motion may be recorded.
In many deliberative bodies (e.g. the United States Congress), questions may be decided by voice vote, but the voice vote does not allow one to determine at a later date , including statements that explain dissenting dis·sent
intr.v. dis·sent·ed, dis·sent·ing, dis·sents
1. To differ in opinion or feeling; disagree.
2. To withhold assent or approval.
1. votes. Significant decisions taken by the FOMC should always be made on the basis of recorded votes - in accord with an important principle of accountability. Each member of the Committee is afforded an opportunity to participate in the preparation of the minutes so that no individual or shared views are omitted. In my view, the minutes present an accurate account of each FOMC meeting.
With regard to the timeliness of the release of such minutes, as you know they are published shortly after the following Committee meeting. It seems to me that such a lag is appropriate. The immediate release of information on the Committee's plans for contingencies could increase market volatility, particularly in circumstances when the contingencies do not eventuate e·ven·tu·ate
intr.v. e·ven·tu·at·ed, e·ven·tu·at·ing, e·ven·tu·ates
To result ultimately: The epidemic eventuated in the deaths of thousands.
Verb 1. . Such volatility is unnecessary and could be especially counterproductive coun·ter·pro·duc·tive
Tending to hinder rather than serve one's purpose: "Violation of the court order would be counterproductive" Philip H. Lee. . if concerns about possible volatility deterred some members of the Federal Open Market Committee from discussing such contingencies or drove them to relying on implicit or behind-the-scenes understandings. On balance, the market and the public are better served by more detail and more openness with delayed publication as compared with the realistic alternative of less specificity that would likely accompany earlier publication.
Similarly, I believe that provisions in the Federal Reserve System Accountability Act There are a number of piece of legislation known as the Accountability Act:
Using exactly the same words; corresponding word for word: a verbatim report of the conversation.
adv. will dampen participation of most members in the discussion. In the context of monetary policy, such provisions likely would cause many policymakers to be much less willing to conjecture CONJECTURE. Conjectures are ideas or notions founded on probabilities without any demonstration of their truth. Mascardus has defined conjecture: "rationable vestigium latentis veritatis, unde nascitur opinio sapientis;" or a slight degree of credence arising from evidence too weak or too about future economic and financial developments, to explore alternative policies, or to challenge others views. Under those conditions, discussions during FOMC meetings are less likely to lead to appropriate policy decisions. The willingness of individual members to explore verbally what may seem to be low probability events may be the beginning of a new perspective that elicits more careful watching and continued debate. The process of developing a consensus view through an open contrarian Contrarian
An investment style that goes against prevailing market trends by buys assets that are performing poorly and selling when they perform well.
A contrarian investor believes that the people who say the market is going up do so only when they are fully forum is essential if monetary policy is to lead toward monetary stability.
For these reasons, I believe that the relevant provisions of H.R.28 would do little to make the monetary policy process more transparent and, unfortunately, would do much to make the conduct of monetary policy less effective. In my view, our current procedures regarding disclosure are on the right track: They permit a careful review of alternative policies while allowing the Congress and the public to analyze both the process by which our decisions are reached and their results.
Besides soliciting my comments on the accountability of monetary policy, you also asked about notes or records regarding FOMC meetings and about premature release of information pertaining per·tain
intr.v. per·tained, per·tain·ing, per·tains
1. To have reference; relate: evidence that pertains to the accident.
2. to the discussion at such meetings. It has been my practice to take sketchy notes during the course of FOMC meetings; the notes are kept, solely for my own use, in a locked file cabinet in my office at the Federal Reserve. Others may also take notes, but I have no information regarding the location and disposition, and I assume the others will answer your question themselves. Some years ago I became aware of the existence of rough transcripts of the meetings when I was writing a dissenting statement. The Secretary of the FOMC made available to me a transcript A generic term for any kind of copy, particularly an official or certified representation of the record of what took place in a court during a trial or other legal proceeding.
A transcript of record of my statements, and only my statements, from the previous meeting. With regard to premature disclosure of confidential FOMC information, over the years I have been troubled by the appearance in the press of information that serves to give credence to conjecture and thereby damages Federal Reserve credibility. I have no knowledge as to the source of such information.
Thank you again for the opportunity to testify on this important subject.

Valerie Cherish (Lisa Kudrow) went all out to impress a journalist from The New York Times in the latest episode of The Comeback and was surprised with the results.
As she continued to film her scenes for Seeing Red, Valerie had a journalist visit set to watch her work. Unfortunately the day the journalist arrived was a day that Val had to work with an over-enthusiastic new director to film a grotesque fantasy sequence that cast her in a poor light. Despite her on-set humiliations and on-going battle with Paulie G (Lance Barber), Val was surprised when the journalist praised her performance.
Elsewhere in the episode Mark (Damian Young) rented a house and moved out, and Jane (Laura Silverman) was told by HBO that her content would be used as a full-scale documentary film.
The next episode of the season is Valerie Cooks in the Desert. When Valerie’s plans for a date night with Mark are scuppered, she makes an uncharacteristic decision to cook for him.

They explore the various aspects of data science and what it truly means to be a data scientist. They touch upon the importance of understanding the scientific method and how it applies to data science. The conversation also delves into the misconception that data science is the sole focus of a data scientist’s work, highlighting the significant role of data engineering, data analysis, and programming skills. They emphasize that data science cannot exist in isolation and requires a strong foundation in other disciplines. The episode concludes with advice for individuals considering a career in data science, encouraging them to focus on their interests and strengths. Overall, the discussion sheds light on the complexity and interdisciplinary nature of data science, challenging common misconceptions about the field.

In this week’s In-Ear Insights, let’s talk about the limitations of data science skills, what you can and can’t do with data science.
So, Katie, when you hear this topic, what is it that that comes to mind? What are the things that you want to know, particularly someone who is not by trade a data scientist?
Katie Robbert 0:19
You know, it’s interesting, because when I hear limitations of data science skills, I immediately think soft skills.
And I’m guessing you’re thinking hard skills.
And so I guess it’s a conversation, I guess there’s a couple of conversations we can have is, you know, what should and should you not use data science for? You know, do you need to be a data scientist to set up your Google Analytics? Probably not? Do you need to be a data scientist to set up your large learning model? Probably.
And so understanding the skill sets of a data scientist, but sort of like, when I hear the question, I’m thinking beyond the standard data science skill sets of, you know, is the limitation of a data scientist, that typically they’re not a great communicator, or typically, a data scientist isn’t a leader, which I know is not true.
But you know, it’s not the rule.
So that’s sort of what I’m thinking.
But what do you think of when you hear that question?
Christopher Penn 1:15
I think we should first define what data science is.
Because it’s, it’s something that a lot of people, you hear the term thrown around a lot.
And it’s not necessarily being used accurately.
So data science, when you boil it all down, is the application of the scientific method to data.
So the scientific method is things like building hypothesis, constructing experiment, running a test, validating the results, and validating whether your hypothesis is true or not.
In that respect, it is just another form of science, which means that a lot of the things that we would attribute to data science actually aren’t.
So for example, working with Google Analytics, that’s marketing technology, doing doing data analysis within Google Analytics, is a data analyst, right? That is you’re literally analyzing data, setting up things like your website testing, and Google Optimize.
Now there, you’re starting to get more towards data science, right? You are starting to apply the scientific method.
But fundamentally, when you’re doing data science, you are applying the scientific method of that process to data in some fashion, maybe, for example, you got a great hit in the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal, in a public relations context.
And you want to know, did it matter? Right, and you would now pull out data science to do uplift modeling, which is effectively retroactive AB testing science to test did that create an impact or not? And so that is sort of the essence of data science, which means that a lot of the time when we’re talking about things like when you’re when you’re building a large language model, that’s not data science, that’s, that’s machine learning.
And that’s to a bigger term AI, but that is things like model training, pre training, data, cleaning, data preparation, and stuff like that.
But there’s no science in there in the in the scientific method sense.
Katie Robbert 3:18
I mean, that’s, I feel like you start to split hairs, then.
So then, is anyone truly a data scientist? Or is it that you’re sometimes a data scientist, sometimes you’re a data analyst,
Christopher Penn 3:34
that’s more like it is that 90% of the time, you’re actually a data engineer, right? 90% of the time, like, I have a whole bunch of crap data that’s dirty that I need to clean and refine and stuff to get ready to be used in a data science experiment.
But those processes and the things you do, yeah, 90% of your time, you are not doing data science, you are doing data cleansing analysis, maybe some exploratory data analysis, maybe doing some feature engineering.
You’re not doing the science part of data science.
Katie Robbert 4:10
But I thought exploratory data analysis fall under Data Science, because of the nature of the process.
Christopher Penn 4:16
The process, it’s exploratory it’s it’s not hypothesis testing.
It’s like what’s in the box.
What’s in the box is very different than saying, I believe this to be true.
Let’s test to see if this is true or not.
Katie Robbert 4:29
So if you’re not asking a question, if you’re not coming up with a hypothesis, but you’re doing everything else, you’re not a data scientist,
Christopher Penn 4:36
you’re not doing data science.
And this, I think, is important with this topic of the limitations of data science skills, because, yeah, most of the time, you’re not doing data science.
Most of the time, you’re getting ready to do it.
Or you’re taking the outputs and the learnings from it and applying that.
You’re about to do an email marketing campaign.
You have a hypothesis.
To start, including emoji and the subject line will increase open rates, right? So what do you need to do you need to get gather your existing data, you need to come up with a testing condition like which emoji should I use this way? In? Which way should the arrow point on the clickable links, right? You construct your hypothesis.
If I include this yellow pointing hand on my subject line, my open rate will increase 4%.
You run the test, you validate? And then you’d say, is that true? We did this test? Does the pointing hand emoji, lift email open rates by 4%? Yes, or No? True or false? And then and that? That is 100%? Data science right there that that to hypothesis testing? Conclusion? And then you take that learning? Like, yes, it did.
Okay, from now on, all emails will have the yellow pointing hand on the subject lines, because we have proven through the scientific method, that this raises open rates 4%.
Katie Robbert 5:57
So I feel like and correct me if I’m wrong, but 99% of the time, Chris, you’re not a data scientist? That’s correct.
Okay, but yet you’re the chief data scientist,
Christopher Penn 6:09
that’s correct percent of the time.
Katie Robbert 6:12
So what are you 99% of the time a data analyst and a data engineer a night
Christopher Penn 6:17
I would say 99% of my job is data engineering.
It is data engineering and data analysis, because it is collecting the data, it is processing the data, it is building the infrastructure to manage the data, you know, that part is a huge part of the job.
You cannot do data science without those prerequisites, though.
That’s that’s the sticking point is you can’t have data science without data engineering, and data analysis.
Because otherwise, you are you’re you’re a chef without a kitchen and a chef without ingredients.
Katie Robbert 6:53
So let’s say on the flip side of that, I run an AB test on my website.
Am I a data scientist?
Christopher Penn 7:05
If you’re using data to, to draw conclusions, and there’s a hypothesis involved? That is based in data? Yes.
Katie Robbert 7:15
So a few months back, I ran an A B test on our website, with the hypothesis that switching out the link from going through our blog to go into our services would result in higher conversions.
And that I looked at the data and made a decision.
That’s data science.
Christopher Penn 7:37
Did you collect the data in advance to see what was happening? Yeah.
Did you clean it? Prepare it? Yeah.
Did you explore the initial data to look for patterns that might have indicated Yes, this is worth testing? Yes.
Did you do any feature engineering in the dataset? As you were, you’re trying to figure out what to test? Like, day of week, week of month, etc?
Katie Robbert 8:02
I didn’t need to the data was in good shape.
Christopher Penn 8:05
Did you have a statistical model from the test? Yes.
Did you evaluate that model? Did you have hypothesis? Yes.
Did you prove that the hypothesis is true or false with the data? Yes.
You’re a data scientist.
Katie Robbert 8:23
So how can somebody be well, I guess, I mean, I know how like science works.
I’m not truly an idiot.
But you know, in a marketing organization, how can somebody be a full time all the time data scientists,
Christopher Penn 8:39
because your, your primary responsibility would be to generate things that data science creates that the organization can use, right? Even if 99% of the tasks you’re performing, and not data science tasks, you are still accountable for what data scientists are supposed to give out, which is data driven insights, right? Put this emoji in your subject line.
Now you can arbitrarily just say that, yeah, we’re gonna put poop emoji in all of our subject lines, but you have nothing to back that up.
Right? They have no, no way to say this is statistically a reliable outcome.
You have no way to say we should use three hashtags in our tweets, like, how do you know that? You can but if you were to then take 8 million tweets, and do the statistical analysis, count the number of hashtags, build a model, validated, say, yep, three hashtags, is it now you’re using the output of data science to drive your marketing when we talk about data driven marketing, we are really talking about data science driven marketing, where you have empirical proof you have proven that what you’re saying is true.
It’s show me the receipts is essentially what is
Katie Robbert 9:53
So then why is the term the job title? Data Science, like, why does it carry so much weight? When it’s really such a small part of the job?
Christopher Penn 10:08
Because you can get paid more?
Katie Robbert 10:11
I mean, I understand that part of it.
But like why data science? Why not data engineer? Why not data analysts? Like, is it that term science that makes it feel heavier?
Christopher Penn 10:25
It sounds more expensive.
Katie Robbert 10:29
Marketers are the worst.
Christopher Penn 10:32
But if you think about it, think about it’s true because in, in corporate culture, we have devalued analysis so much, we have made it such a junior task when it really isn’t that someone who has proficiency above and beyond what you know, basics, needs a title that communicates there beyond the basics.
And yeah, in like large corporations just have like data analyst, one, data analysts, two data analysts, three senior data analyst, whatever.
But at the end of the day, that mentally and heuristically in the minds of people who are not in those roles, someone who says the title of data scientist sounds more important than someone who has the title of a data analyst, even though if you’re a data scientist, and you don’t have an analyst or analysts capabilities, you are hosed.
Katie Robbert 11:23
And I think that goes back to the question of what are the limitations of the data science skill set.
And I think that’s it like data science on its own.
Can’t do a whole lot unless you have all of those other skill sets as a foundation.
And I think that’s really, you know, getting to the heart of the conversation.
Christopher Penn 11:48
You know, four categories, this four things you need, you need business knowledge, like, what does this company do? Right, you need statistical mathematical skills, you need data engineering skills, and a lot of cases, you need programming skills.
So those four sets of skills comprise what is needed to make data science work.
Katie Robbert 12:10
And if you don’t have one of those, then you’re not going to be an effective data scientist,
Christopher Penn 12:15
you will be less effective.
So you have to have them or you have to have a team of people that has those skills.
Katie Robbert 12:21
So, you know, going back to that very simple example, I ran an A B test on our website.
I’m not a data scientist, but I ran a scientific test.
And so I would not call myself a data scientist, because I am not majority of the time the analyst or the engineer, I am the standing cmo who was curious to see if I made this change, would it affect it positively? Positively or negatively?
Christopher Penn 12:53
And I would argue that by having by having that more tight definition, that is if you’re using science on data, you’re doing data science, that also opens it up.
So that you it’s kind of in a good way takes away some of the mystery around the job title.
Again, if you’re it’s like, are you an analyst? If using Google Analytics, well, it may not be your full time job title, but you are still doing analytics, right? You are still doing analysis? If you are looking at Google Analytics go how many people visited the website, go in and look at it right.
That is that is still analysis.
And part of what our hope is, is that people feel less intimidated by, by that will say, yeah, if you are doing the thing, and you’re getting the answer that’s necessary to help your business, you are doing analytics, you don’t need a formal certification, you don’t need a fancy job title, to be able to do stuff.
And the same is true of data science, you know, if you can run an A B test, following the steps of collecting cleaning, gathering exploratory data analysis, feature engineering model, and hypothesis construction and proof.
If you’re doing that, regardless of your job title, you are doing data science, and that’s a good thing.
Katie Robbert 14:10
So it sounds like the limitation is data science, on its own by itself is not enough of a well rounded skill set data science needs other disciplines to support it.
And that becomes a limitation.
So you know, if I’m, you know, in an organization, I’m like, You know what, we need a data science team.
I can find a data scientist, but if that data scientist can’t code or can’t prepare data, then I still need to hire like five or six other people who can do those things.
And that sounds like that’s the limitation of data science.
It can’t exist on its own.
It needs all of these other pillars to hold it up.
Christopher Penn 14:55
It does think about this.
Recently, you asked me to write down kind of, you know, the software skills and the job skills that I use on a regular basis in my job, right? And, yes, one of them is very much in the data science wheelhouse the our programming language, right.
But that document is like 16 pages long, most of which has nothing to do with data science, you know, administration of BigQuery, Google Cloud platform where the data comes from at Google Analytics, which is where the data comes from the Mautic, marketing operations system and server administration, where the data comes from.
So most of that list is really on the data engineering side and just straight up it.
Not data science, not because we don’t do data science, but because so there’s so much data science hinges on that gigantic foundation of other skills, other techniques, other technologies, other people that yet, like you said, data science, and a data scientist, is a sort of an umbrella skill set over a huge Foundation.
And if you don’t have that foundation, if your foundations unstable, you’re not gonna be able to do the thing.
Katie Robbert 16:09
So what advice would you give to someone who, you know, let’s say it comes to you and say, You know what, I think I’m gonna go back to school to be a data scientist.
What advice would you give me in terms of where I should focus my time?
Christopher Penn 16:22
Well, first, I’d ask you why?
Katie Robbert 16:24
Because I heard it’s a really important skill set, it’s the job of the future, it’s going to give me lots of money and nobody knows what it is.
So I’m going to be a data scientist.
Christopher Penn 16:35
There are easier ways to make a lot of money.
Katie Robbert 16:38
Okay, but answer this particular question.
Christopher Penn 16:43
Should you do that? Like, should you should you go back to school be a data scientist? Do you love working? Well, first, are you a very curious person?
Katie Robbert 16:55
I have a lot of questions.
Christopher Penn 16:58
Do you love working with data? Do you enjoy spending time in spreadsheets? Do you enjoy comparing your sets of numbers to each other? Yes.
Do you have a head for business?
Katie Robbert 17:17
And I hope so.
Christopher Penn 17:20
Okay, can you program poorly? Have you? Did you enjoy it when you tried it?
Katie Robbert 17:28
It’s a set of logic, and I’m really good at logic.
Christopher Penn 17:31
Did you enjoy it?
Katie Robbert 17:34
I want to make it my full time career.
Christopher Penn 17:38
Have you ever done any work with databases? Yes.
In terms of building them and operating them?
Katie Robbert 17:45
Christopher Penn 17:46
Did you enjoy that? No,
Katie Robbert 17:48
I did not.
Christopher Penn 17:50
So you’re two out of four on the skills of a data scientist.
So I would say no, you probably should not pursue this as a as a career.
I would say it’s three out of four or better.
Katie Robbert 18:02
And I think that that’s a really good quick gut check.
For people who say I want to go into data science, because there is that misunderstanding of what go actually, a data scientist is what they’re responsible what they have to do.
It’s not just sitting around coming up with a hypothesis, like, you know, what we should explore today, this.
So I used to work with research scientists, for example.
And three times out of the year, out of the whole entire working year, they were asked to come up with a hypothesis.
And write down for grant submissions, write down how they plan to test this hypothesis three times a year.
The rest of the time, these research scientists, were stuck in meetings with project managers, you know, meetings with research assistants, calling through paperwork, trying to fill out forms, like it was a very taxing job.
And the thing that they were asked to do, the research part of it was minimal.
So minimal, and I think that what I’m hearing is, the same is true of data scientists that the amount of times you are asked for a hypothesis is so small compared to all of the other crap you have to do.
Christopher Penn 19:24
And what separates data science, at least in my mind from other forms of science, is that a hypothesis has to come from data, right? It’s not something that you make up right, like, oh, we should use poop emoji in our tweets or show me the data that you know, the from your exploratory data analysis that indicated that would be even vaguely a good idea, right? Like, is there even though they’re there to look at? In that’s where, you know, we’re going back to your example of testing things on the website, if what you chose to SaaS was purely arbitrary based on anything Other than data, then it was not a data science experiment was a science experiment.
It’s not a data science expand because it did not start with data.
Katie Robbert 20:07
Now see, I would argue that it’s not the data, it’s the science that makes it.
So, you know, when I’m speaking about these examples of the research scientists, they could come up with whatever hypothesis they felt like, but they had to then back it by research, to say, this is why I think the thing that I’m proposing will solve a problem, not just, you know what, I’m just going to invent a thing.
And, you know, let’s, let’s see what happens.
But there had to be a problem existing in the first place that this research was set out to solve the same is true of data.
So I would say, for a data scientist, the data has to exist for the research scientist, the research has to exist, but it’s the science part, you have to be trying to solve an existing problem.
So your hypothesis is based in reality.
Christopher Penn 21:01
And we have talked to many people over the years, who have attempted to try and explain what we do, or to to happen for fit for events, sell it to other people on our behalf.
And they had no understanding of what data science was.
So their inability to describe Would you accept it, you know, I vaguely recall, in one meeting, someone was outright describing as magic and like, that is the worst possible way to describe this stuff.
Because it is the antithesis of magic, it is not there’s nothing mystical, it is it purely around, you know, quantitative and to some degree, qualitative data that’s been quantified, so that you can build hypotheses and test them.
And that goes back to the beginning of what we were talking about, which is, you know, when we talk about limitations, data science skills, the skills themselves are, you know, they fall in those four buckets, the limitations really are on the understanding of people about what this stuff is and what it can and cannot do, it is not magic.
It is, you know, the same is true of AI and machine learning.
It is not magic as mathematics most of the time.
And if you are trying to solve a problem, that is not math, with math, it doesn’t work out what’s like trying to solve, you know, people who use ROI, which is a financial calculation for a non financial problem.
Katie Robbert 22:19
Or I’m going to totally butcher your kitchen analogy, but it’s fine to use, you know, a frying pan to, you know, blend a smoothie.
Christopher Penn 22:29
It’s not going to work out well.
No matter how much you want to be able to talk about frying pans all day long, right? There’s a lot of people, for example, right now in the AI space, who have no understanding of artificial intelligence, none other than what they read, and like, you know, the the news that morning.
And so when they talk about it, they talk about it in such a way that if you know anything about failure, like wow, this guy is almost always the guy, this guy is just talking out out to the wrong end of the horse.
Katie Robbert 23:06
I have no comment.
Yes, I haven’t.
I have no appropriate public comment.
Christopher Penn 23:16
But you know, that that’s the limitations of data science skills is the lack of understanding about stakeholders about what to do with them, or how to use them best?
Katie Robbert 23:26
I think so.
And that sort of goes back to the lack of understanding of what data science is in the first place.
Sure, it’s a fancy pantsy title.
But at the core of it, it’s a lot of hard work.
It’s a lot of on, I won’t call it an interesting, but if you, as you sort of questioned me about, you know, do I want to be a data scientist, if I’m not interested in building databases and coding, then I’m not going to enjoy being a data scientist.
Just like if I am not interested in reading academic papers and running clinical trials.
I’m not going to enjoy being a research scientist.
Christopher Penn 24:06
But you know, all the people who are in, in the AI space like yeah, if you’re, if you are talking about the highest and most advanced levels, you’re talking about a lot of math, and math is not your jam.
It’s going to be an unpleasant experience.
And, you know, kind of what you were saying when you were talking about why you should become a data science scientist for the money or not like the advice I always give people is get really good at what you love, because you’re gonna be doing a lot.
But also if you if you love it, you will be really good at it.
And it is and you will the Money Follows the experience and skill, right money.
Mitch Joel says money flows through responsibility.
The faster you get to positions of responsibility, the more money you make, and the faster you get there, is by being really good at what you do.
There is no there’s nothing lessor about being a really great graphic artist, or being a good manager, right? You can, if you are a skillful Manager, you can make a lot of money because the world desperately needs them.
Even if it’s not something that does, it doesn’t have a fancy title, like, you know, chief data scientist, you got one bad Majan they can wreck an organization.
Katie Robbert 25:21
Well, I was gonna say like, I’m really good at being bossy, and I will love it.
I will do it all day long.
But I’m a professional manager.
And I’m really I really enjoy helping other people succeed in what they’re doing.
And that’s what a good manager should do.
And therefore I enjoy it.
I’m happy with what I’m doing.
So I’m happy to be you know, call me CEO, call me project manager, call me whatever.
Just don’t call me late for dinner.
You didn’t see that coming? Did you? Nope.
But the point is, I’m not a data scientist.
I’m not interested enough in the foundational pieces, like, sure, I like to come up with a hypothesis and test it.
But that doesn’t mean I’m a data scientist.
It just means I’m curious.
And that’s a good thing.
But I’m gonna leave the data science to the experts.
Christopher Penn 26:19
It is but I will say as the counterpoint if you are using the scientific method, or with data informed by data to make data driven decisions, whether or not you have the title of data scientist, you are doing data science, and that is something that everyone is welcome to do as long as you’re following the principles of the scientific method with data, or doing data science.
So don’t sell yourself short either.
Katie Robbert 26:45
Fair, I’ll take it.

This collection explores how social attitudes towards same-sex relationships and gender have varied across different places and times. Though attitudes have changed substantially, full legal equality for LGBT+ people is still rare.
This is part of the LGBT+ collection.
European Christian societies have until recently showed little tolerance of diversity. They have often brutally enforced rigid ideas of love, sex, gender roles and identities. Objects from other societies highlight that these ideas are far from universal or inevitable.
Some of the objects here relate to Ancient Greece. Its acknowledgement of same-sex desire served as a powerful tool in the 19th century, challenging the idea that homosexuality would lead to a breakdown in civilised society. Other items relate to homophobic attitudes to public figures or the introduction of laws persecuting same-sex love and desire. Others document more recent attempts to challenge and fight homophobia and transphobia.

text: 12/27/2015 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 2 Tyler is a coachable, hardworking catcher with a solid frame with a promising future on the diamond. Behind the plate, feet are active as he works in line through a clean transfer / exchange as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. He is an accurate thrower with pop times in the 2.28 range. Receiving / blocking tools show as playable tools as he continues to develop and get more reps. At the plate, hands are loose and work through the point of contact, creating extension. He makes consistent contact and has leverage in his swing, mainly to the pull side. Power numbers will continue to improve as he works to utilize his lower half more efficiently. A 2018 graduate, Tyler has a lot of potential and is a sure player to keep an eye on and follow.

Re: Re: Grafton Street, Dublin
Anybody know when the proposed repaving is to start work?I was on Grafton street yesterday and its appalling.Why have they let it deteriorate to such a level.
I think the condition of the street is the whole reason for the project. Its true that it has gone on far too long but the proposal now is to repave the street in its entirety. Why it was allowed to get so bad is a good question however…but this is Dublin.
Also why they don’t get on with pedestrianising the surrounding streets in a integrated way is beyond me. The area is bursting with new businesses and they are trying to flourish in poorly paved streets that don’t encourage footfall. If these areas were nicely paved businesses would thrive and jobs would actually be created. It wouldn’t cost a huge amount either.
It would cost a significant amount. However again the “plan” is an integrated vision for the area from Kildare Street to South Great Georges Street. Haven’t seen the plan myself and I would hope that the Council would make more of this investment in the city centre and allow for reasonable comment on what it proposed.
As part of the 1st phase…which is Grafton Street (it having the most pressing need – see your point above), the recent temporary changes on Clarendon Street are meant to facilitate greater pedestrian traffic on that street owning to the works on Grafton Street.
You should read back the thread….lots of good information and comment on the project.

I've been writing since I was a child. Songs, poems, fiction...but it's almost always about the same things. Life, consciousness, what we're doing here. Ever since I looked out of my bedroom window to the street below when I was a kid, watching everyone walking around, playing, talking, riding their bike. What were they all thinking? What are they all doing here? I've been trying to grasp it all and communicate about it for all these years. Hopefully year by year my vision and message gets a little clearer. Now, with age, I feel more urgency to speak about what I see and what I believe could be. Read my book and let me know your thoughts.

Join us Tuesday nights from 8-10pm for our weekly jazz jam session. Bring your horn/voice/axe or hop up on to the piano or drums; sit in with other local and visiting talent and create some on the fly music. All are welcome, musician or not!
Free! Plus, $1 PBR drafts.
What is a jam session?
Here’s what Wikipedia has to say:
“A jam session is a relatively informal musical event, process, or activity where musicians, typically instrumentalists, play improvised solos and vamp on tunes, songs and chord progressions. To “jam” is to improvise music without extensive preparation or predefined arrangements, except for when the group is playing well-known jazz standards or covers of existing popular songs. Original jam sessions, also ‘free flow sessions’, are often used by musicians to develop new material (music) and find suitable arrangements. Both styles can be used simply as a social gathering and communal practice session. Jam sessions may be based upon existing songs or forms, may be loosely based on an agreed chord progression or chart suggested by one participant, or may be wholly improvisational.”
