Finding Hidden Groups with K-means ClusteringWhat is Unsupervised Learning?Imagine you're given a big box of different toys, but they're all mixed up. Without anyone telling you how to sort them, you might naturally put the cars together, stuffed animals together, and blocks together. This is what computers do with unsupervised learning - they find patterns without being told what to look for.K-means Clustering Explained SimplyK-means helps us find groups in data. Let's think about students in your class:Each student has a height (x)Each student has a weight (y)Each student has an age (z)K-means helps us see if there are natural groups of similar students.The Four Main Steps of K-means1. Picking Starting PointsFirst, we need to guess where our groups might be centered:We could randomly pick a few students as starting pointsOr use a smarter way called K-means++ that picks students who are different from each otherThis is like picking team captains before choosing teams2. Making TeamsNext, each student joins the team of the "captain" they're most similar to:We measure how close each student is to each captainStudents join the team of the closest captainThis makes temporary groups3. Finding New CentersNow we find the middle of each team:Calculate the average height of everyone on team 1Calculate the average weight of everyone on team 1Calculate the average age of everyone on team 1This average student becomes the new center for team 1We do this for each team4. Checking if We're DoneWe keep repeating steps 2 and 3 until the teams stop changing:If no one switches teams, we're doneIf the centers barely move, we're doneIf we've tried enough times, we stop anywayWhy Starting Points MatterStarting with different captains can give us different final teams. This is actually helpful:We can try different starting pointsSee which grouping makes the most senseFind patterns we might miss with just one trySeeing Groups in 3DImagine plotting each student in the classroom:Height is how far up they are (x)Weight is how far right they are (y) Age is how far forward they are (z)The team/group is shown by color (like red, blue, or green)The color acts like a fourth piece of information, showing which group each student belongs to. The computer finds these groups by looking at who's clustered together in the 3D space.Why We Need Experts to Name the GroupsThe computer can find groups, but it doesn't know what they mean:It might find a group of tall, heavier, older students (maybe athletes?)It might find a group of shorter, lighter, younger studentsIt might find a group of average height, weight students who vary in ageOnly someone who understands students (like a teacher) can say:"Group 1 seems to be the basketball players""Group 2 might be students who skipped a grade""Group 3 looks like our regular students"The computer finds the "what" (the groups), but experts explain the "why" and "so what" (what the groups mean and why they matter).The Simple Math Behind K-meansK-means works by trying to make each student as close as possible to their team's center. The computer is trying to make this number as small as possible:"The sum of how far each student is from their team's center"It does this by going back and forth between:Assigning students to the closest teamMoving the team center to the middle of the team

I learned today that I still have a lot of internal tendencies from middle school.

Elizabeth Neumann served as the Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism and Threat Prevention at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security during the Bush Administration, and came back to the White House again in 2017 to serve in the Trump Administration.Her job was to counter emerging right-wing extremism, fueled by long-standing anger, resentment, white supremacism, and Christian nationalism. By April 2020, she had resigned from the Trump Administration. Citing a failure of leadership and his imperiling of American security, she signed an August 2020 statement with 130 other Republican national security officials, boldly stating in no uncertain terms that Trump was unfit for office.In this episode, Elizabeth opens up about this experience, told in her recent book Kingdom of Rage: The Rise of Christian Extremism and the Path Back to Peace. As a person of Christian faith with over two decades of experience in public service and national security, she offers a fascinating inside take on the inattention to domestic terrorism; she elucidates the emergence of a new and Christian extremism, grounded in rage and willing to take violent action; she explains the Jan 6 attack through the perspective of homeland security; and she reflects on Christian resources for responding to the chaotic, politicized anger characterized in right-wing extremism and how we might act as instruments of peace.About Elizabeth NeumannElizabeth Neumann served as the Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism and Threat Prevention at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security during the Bush administration, and came back to the White House again in 2017 to serve in the Trump Administration, publicly resigning in 2020.

Read the full transcript here. What is metacognitive therapy? How does MCT differ from CBT, DBT, and other mental health therapy paradigms? How do we know we're spending time worrying about the right things? How much time spent worrying is actually useful? How aware are we of our own tendencies to ruminate on certain negative thoughts?

Raised in Virginia, Katherine Wintcsh is married to a great husband and has two children. She spent 15 years of her life in advertising. And then she realized that such agency is a young person's game. Then she started The Mom Complex through which she helps huge companies improve their products and services and sell them to moms. The switch gave her so much joy that she became her boss, got to control her schedule, and had more time for herself as well as for her family.Highlights:The Mom Complex - a company that helps high-profile brands to understand how moms use the products and the services they preferResearch factor - the research is designed in such a way that moms answer them honestly and accurately through opinion parties instead of focus groupsThe masked perfect mom - projecting oneself as a perfect know it all mom, according to her research is highly correlated with how bad they feel about themselvesDifferent by design - while men are wired with the ability to focus on one thing, women are wired with thoughts like a spiderwebApart from working with great brands, she is also helping women cope with the pressures of being a mom in a society that expects moms to know it all, to do it all, and to know best all the time. Although these could be considered compliments, she wants women to liberate themselves from this mental bondage by prioritizing self-care and by allowing themselves to be vulnerable just like everyone else. Now that she has tamed the "dragon of self-doubt", she is out to help other women do the same.

Today, I'll talk to you about a couple of the greatest gifts that I ever received so far. It is my hope that as I share these experiences with you, it may awaken a realization of some of the blessings you and your loved one have experienced, as well as maybe instill a sense of hope for gifts and blessings that might lie ahead for you.Topics covered in this episode :Losing my wife and best friend - so I thought….The joy of regaining my wife - the greatest gift of allThe Pros and Cons of Online support GroupsThe gift of in person support groups“Men Who Care” - a support group of hero's that I am honored to be a part ofLink to “The Surviving Alzheimer's Podcast” Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/SurvivingAlzPodcast

Are you a leader who cares about serving others, especially those who have served your country?With our guest, Shelly Rood, we begin by talking about how to honor and work most effectively with those who sacrifice so much for us, those who serve in our armed forces.  Hint:  It goes way beyond (but doesn't take much more effort than) saying "thank you for your service."  We talk about the different military cultures and the values that make former military members stellar employees.  If you lead someone who served you'll leave with new leadership insights. Our conversation then broadens to topics that are important for any leader:The value of staying curiousHow to walk the fine line of putting others needs first without slipping into dangerous self-sacrificeWhat real self-care isThe power of peer support groupsThe value of grounding yourself in self-knowledge before jumping into giving modeThe power of letting others give to you Trigger warning:  We do briefly discuss suicide statistics and abuse.  Please take care of yourself and come back to this episode at a different time if needed.About ShellyFrom being overseas and leading covert intelligence briefings to orchestrating security programs for nearly 4,000  soldiers, our guest Shelly Rood knows first hand what it means to protect and care for others.

Her mission is to unite the various and complex functions of AHF to ensure that everything and everyone work smoothly to accomplish the organization's mission. Learn more about Laura: LinkedInCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[1:21] -- Why Client Experience MattersAJ Alegria answers the question of why client experience is so central at AHFReputation is central at AHF, because if patients don't trust an organization, that organization can't deliver them lifesaving care. Patients are more inclined to do business with an organization that makes them feel good, respected, and appreciated, and the better a patient feels, the more services they use. The more services they use, the more they stay in care. [8:05] -- Radical Collaboration at AHFDonna Stidham: Transformative collaboration principles can and should be applied at an organization like AHFDonna uses the use case of a patient who has been receiving consistent care but is moving to a new region. Close collaboration across regional offices could ensure that this person doesn't get lost in the shuffle and is able to access continued care even as their geographical location changes. Constantly thinking about making a patient's experience positive wherever they are is one of the most central forms of collaborative principles at AHF.[12:11] -- Reducing Stigma and Reaching Undocumented PeopleHow Western Region sales director Jose Ramos is working to bring healthcare to marginalized groupsThe entire sales team in the western region knows that educating and talking to people out in the field is central, particularly in cities close to the border. Active outreach is key in letting undocumented people know there are services available to them when they're in need.[15:06] -- Linkage and Retention: Two Specialties, One MissionWhitney Engeran on how linkage and retention specialists can work togetherCommunication is key when various specialists are working towards the shared mission of enhanced patient care. When there are indications that people might be falling out of care, turning their first encounters with team members into lasting connections is key— positive, patient-centric, and communicative from one interaction to the next.[23:43] -- Finding Patients on the MoveDr. Laura Boudreau on tracking down patients in need of careCommunity health workers are an essential tool in locating patients, with some even acting as retention specialists who can go so far as to make house visits to track down patients. Another promising strategy being tested is using patients' comfort with pharmacies over clinics in order to deliver messages through that outlet. RESOURCES:[0:18] - AHF WebsiteFOLLOW:Follow Lauren HoganFollow AJ AlegriaFollow Donna StidhamFollow Jose RamosFollow Whitney EngeranFollow Laura BoudreauFollow AHFter Hours on InstagramABOUT AHFTER HOURS:The AIDS Healthcare Foundation is the world's largest HIV/AIDS service organization, operating in 45 countries globally.

ITVT is pleased to present the latest episode of Televisionation: Screen Culture, our new video series exploring the symbiotic relationship between culture and filmed content—television, streaming, and cinema. Hosted by fandom expert Lisa Crawford, Screen Culture was created for thoughtful discussions about the impact of premium filmed content on today's society. In this episode, Lisa is joined by David Craig, a media scholar, producer, and former network executive. He is Clinical Professor at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and Visiting Professor in the Institute of Cultural and Creative Industries at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Prior to academia, in addition to LGBTQ media activism, David was a Hollywood producer and network programming executive responsible for over 30 projects that garnered over 70 Emmy, Golden Globe, and Peabody nominations. David and Lisa discuss the goal of his first career in Hollywood—to become a “teacher” and create social impact through filmed content. He outlines cultural activism applied through the TV movie format over decades. He notes the responsibility taken up by many producers, network executives, and talent (including Ava DuVernay, Tom Hanks, and Brad Pitt through their respective producing work) to advocate for social change and representation. They expand on David's published works with collaborator Stuart Cunningham, particularly the recent anthology Creator Culture and their first book, Social Media Entertainment, a comprehensive history and analysis of social media creators and their role in culture and media. Finally, David and Lisa cover his inclination to be positive about the impact of social media entertainment and: The similarities, differences, and “tension” between the approaches of social media platforms and traditional media companiesThe rise of wanghong (“Internet famous”) or the social media entertainment industry in China, the technological advancement and growing global presence of China-based platformsThe cultural impact of creators in amplifying social and political issues, including the experience of underrepresented groupsThe politics of platforms Social handle:Twitter @Producing2Power Archive: https://tvotshow.com/televisionation

How can design thinking help cultural institutions deliver greater social value?In Episode 5 Tandi is joined by Lisa Baxter, founder of The Experience Business, for a deep dive on qualitative research, customer empathy and social purpose. We talk about how to facilitate meaningful conversations between arts organisations and communities, and how that insight can inform everything from our brand values, to our programming, marketing communications, and engagement programs.This episode covers:Why audience experience is at the core of why organisations receive public fundingHow qualitative research puts the humanity into research and why it’s a good idea to have arts professionals sit in on research groupsThe techniques that arts professionals can use to more intensely explore the audience experienceHow the gap between booking a ticket and seeing a show can be used to create greater audience valueHow arts organisations develop their customer knowledge, customer empathy and audience sensibilityThe five-step process of Design Thinking that organisation can applyHow arts organisations can find their core purpose through conversation, art and creativity exercisesWhy thinking about extracting value from the market is the putting the cart before the horseWhy arts organisations should ‘do their homework’ about what’s going on in their communitiesHow arts organisations can understand their operating context and the aspirations of their visitorsLisa Baxter FRSA is the founder/director of The Experience Business, working across the UK and internationally in supporting the design of optimal audience experiences.A pioneer in her field, and an avowed audience champion, Lisa uses innovative facilitative and qualitative research methods to help arts organisations conceive, articulate, design and understand their experiential value propositions. She is increasingly in demand as a speaker on the subject of audience experience design, including keynotes at the Australia Council for the Arts Marketing Summit (2013), the City Cape Town Arts and Cultural Indaba (2015) and the Federation of Scottish Theatres (2017) and the up and coming Connected Audiences Conference in Vienna. Lisa has also guest lectured at the Universities of Leeds, Groningen (Netherlands) and Deakin University, (Melbourne).A specialist in researching audience and customer experience, she has collaborated with the University of Sheffield on an AHRC/ACE funded programme around innovative methods of enquiry into the audience experience and is published on the subject.Clients include the National Football Museum (Manchester), the Swiss Science Centre (Zurich), Rockhampton Art Gallery (Queensland, Australia), BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art (Gateshead), Imperial War Museum North (Salford) and the National Coal Mining Museum for England (Wakefield).For more details, including the full transcript of the conversation, you can head to the episode webpage: https://www.thepatternmakers.com.au/podcast-episodes/episode5Connect with Tandi Palmer Williams & Patternmakers on:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tandiwilliams/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepatternmakers/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tandi_willFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thepatternmakers.com.au/To stay in the loop with the latest research, big ideas and useful tools, you can sign up to get Patternmakers' free, monthly Culture Insight & Innovation Update direct to your inbox each month: https://thepatternmakers.us10.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=7f009b1b1f874eddcffa4d79c&id=1408ed145f

Catholics can sing! Here's how one music director leads congregational singing at Mass in bilingual and multi-ethnic parishes. Darrell St. Romain is the Director of Music at Mary Immaculate Catholic Church in Farmers Branch, TX. With his background ranging from rural Louisiana to the Cathedral of Dallas (where he worked while studying for his Master's Degree of Sacred Music at Southern Methodist University), he has a keen understanding of leading music programs in bilingual and multi-ethnic parishes. In our conversation we discuss: Congregational participation that doesn't necessarily entail congregational singing (something I discussed with Mary Catherine Levri in an earlier podcast episode)Teaching new music to the congregationUsing Latin in bilingual Masses to build communitySupporting various music ensembles in your congregation without micromanaging the leaders of those groupsThe dangers of labeling services by musical style (the "Gospel Mass" at 9:30, the "Traditional Mass" at 11) Enjoying this podcast episode?

Favorite Quotes Darrell on teaching new Mass settings: remember, "no matter where you are working, there are always going to be people who want to participate." (So help them out!) "Why do we have to be comfortable when we come to worship? I don't think anybody who had an encounter with Jesus was comfortable the whole time." –Darrell St. Romain on congregational singing at Mass Resources We Mentioned Another perspective on congregational participation at Mass earlier on Music and the ChurchFlor y canto Lead Me, Guide Me (1st and 2nd editions)"Alabaré a mi Señor""Taste and See""Holy, Holy, Holy""Holy God, We Praise Thy Name" Share This Podcast If you enjoy this podcast, please consider sharing it with your friends who love ministry—it's the best way for them to find the show!

The school year is kicking off and I am excited to share a terrific series of podcasts with you about teaching with robots. Below is the beginning of the post, be sure to check out the full article on Beyond The Hour of Code (http://www.beyondthehourofcode.com) . Lesson Design in Three Dimensions, Learning with RobotsThe idea of teaching young children by playing with robots seems both amazing and laughable. If it is funny or strange, that is only because it is difficult to imagine learning with a robot. Spoiler alert: it will not involve C3PO lecturing your students. Learning with robots through programming and group work is a very kinesthetic form of learning. Understanding the roles a robot can play will help you design engaging and meaningful lesson. The role a robot can play in a lesson does depend on what a robot can do. While this text refers to several different robots, these are just a few of the ever-expanding selection of educational robots. For the most current and updated information about these robots be sure to check BeyondtheHourofCode.com. Robot as PointerFrom the desktop to floorGreat news! You have lessons written that are almost robot-ready. The most important element in a robot lesson is to make the location of the robot meaningful. A matching activity designed for desktop work can be adapted quickly to a robot activity. Many lessons take only two steps con convert from desktop to robot lesson: Enlarge the images used in the desktop activity and places them on the floor. Have students working in groups program a robot to move from the image to its match. With this simple idea, you can place answers to math problems on the floor and have students navigate to the right answer once they have solved the problem. Students could also roll dice and navigate to the correct answer. This model of using the robot as a pointer to indicate the correct answer was the seed of a lesson in Tali's class. The robot used in this lesson was a Bee-Bot, a very simple robot that looks like a bumble bee and has a small wheelbase. It is programmed by pressing directional buttons on top of the robot. Every time theBee-Bot moves, it moves 15 cm. The bee bot runs on a grid of 15 cm squares. The objectives of this lessonStudents will develop math skills (differentiated by skill) Students will develop communication skills through group collaboration Planning this lesson requires knowledge of the students and their math abilities, but with this knowledge, you can do some very meaningful differentiation. Tali had six robots to work with, so she divided her 24 students into six groups. She did not create groups of equal numbers. Instead, she created groups of similar math ability. With ability groups, she was able to customize the challenge level of the work to fit the students' needs. Tali ensured engagement through differentiation. The GroupsThe core of this lesson is students do the math at hand and navigate the robot to the correct answer. Tali gave each group appropriate math to do and customized the robots grid with the answers needed. Although the groups had slight variations in size, there were four active roles for students in the groups. Calculator- counts the pips on the dice, or computes the solution to the problem on the sheet. This student talks through their process aloud as they work. Verifier- checks the math problem, and is available to help in the computation process. Programmer- writes and inputs the program needed to navigate the robot to the solution. Debugger- follows the program as it runs to discover any errors, also available to assist in the programming process. When Tali introduced the lesson, she spent time talking about each of the roles. Then a group including Tali role played through a turn, rotation, and a second turn. This modeled each role as well as the process of changing roles. Compared to managing role rotation, programming a robot is easy. Once the students were assigned...
