Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Are you stuck in a career plateau, simply craving inspiration and/or movement to catapult to the next level? Or maybe you’re experiencing some challenges that seem implausible to power through? Well, by looking outside ourselves, there’s nothing quite like goal setting and pushing past your limits like running a marathon. Sure, it may be a cliché, but the saying “it’s a marathon, not a sprint” is truly on point based on three runners who comprised Degree’s Not Done Yet marathon team. Meet Ashley Zirkle, a senior civil engineer, who recently completed the San Francisco Marathon. In 2016, she ran the marathon in Savannah, but at mile marker 18, between cramps and bad shin splints, she had to stop. This year, her achievement is all the more poignant based on her back story.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin They say that there is an exception to every rule. The problem though is that oftentimes the standing rule prevails and there is little or no allowance for an exception to be acknowledged nor entertained. The average-case is used despite the strident possibility that an exception is at the fore. An exception doesn’t get any airtime. It doesn’t get a chance to be duly considered. I’m sure you must know what I am talking about. Have you ever attempted to obtain some kind of individualized customer service whereby you were mindlessly treated without any distinction for your particular case and your specific needs? This has undoubtedly happened to you, likely countless times. I am going to take you through a disturbing trend that is arising about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being relentlessly devised to force fit everything into the one size fits all paradigm. Exceptions are either not detected or opted … [Read more...] about AI Ethics Fighting Passionately For Your Legal Right To Be An Exception

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin No matter what you think of President Joe Biden, it’s hard not to empathize with him for the loss of his son Beau Biden to brain cancer in 2015. Biden was able to turn his personal loss into a constructive mission when then President Barack Obama in his 2016 State of the Union Address put him in charge of the Cancer Moonshot Initiative, an effort aimed at advancing cancer research and improve results for patients. The program itself didn’t formally have an early lifespan – Obama left office in January 2017. Yet funding for dozens of projects will continue until 2023. Biden went on to personally keep his involvement in the fight against cancer going after Donald Trump was elected president, forming the Biden Cancer Initiative in 2017 to advance collaboration and writing a book, “Promise Me, Dad” about his son’s battle. Biden halted the Biden Cancer Initiative in mid-2019 when he said he’d run for president. This … [Read more...] about Meet The Scientist Coordinating Joe Biden’s New Cancer Moonshot

That marked another month of the fastest pace for inflation going back to December 1981. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core CPI increased 5.9%, compared to the 5.7% estimate. On a monthly basis, headline CPI rose 1.3% and core CPI was up 0.7%, compared to respective estimates of 1.1% and 0.5%. Taken together, the numbers seemed to counter the narrative that inflation may be peaking, as the gains were based across a variety of categories.
