Analysis of image classifiers demonstrates that it is possible to understand backprop networks at the task-relevant run-time algorithmic level. In these systems, at least, networks gain their power from deploying massive parallelism to check for the presence of a vast number of simple, shallow patterns. https://betterwithout.ai/images-surface-features This episode has a lot of links: David Chapman's earliest public mention, in February 2016, of image classifiers probably using color and texture in ways that "cheat": twitter.com/Meaningness/status/698688687341572096 Jordana Cepelewicz's “Where we see shapes, AI sees textures,” Quanta Magazine, July 1, 2019: https://www.quantamagazine.org/where-we-see-shapes-ai-sees-textures-20190701/ “Suddenly, a leopard print sofa appears”, May 2015: https://web.archive.org/web/20150622084852/http://rocknrollnerd.github.io/ml/2015/05/27/leopard-sofa.html “Understanding How Image Quality Affects Deep Neural Networks” April 2016: https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.04004   Goodfellow et al., “Explaining and Harnessing Adversarial Examples,” December 2014: https://arxiv.org/abs/1412.6572 “Universal adversarial perturbations,” October 2016: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1610.08401v1.pdf “Exploring the Landscape of Spatial Robustness,” December 2017: https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.02779 “Overinterpretation reveals image classification model pathologies,” NeurIPS 2021: https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2021/file/8217bb4e7fa0541e0f5e04fea764ab91-Paper.pdf “Approximating CNNs with Bag-of-Local-Features Models Works Surprisingly Well on ImageNet,” ICLR 2019: https://openreview.net/forum?id=SkfMWhAqYQ Baker et al.'s “Deep convolutional networks do not classify based on global object shape,” PLOS Computational Biology, 2018: https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006613 François Chollet's Twitter threads about AI producing images of horses with extra legs: twitter.com/fchollet/status/1573836241875120128 and twitter.com/fchollet/status/1573843774803161090 “Zoom In: An Introduction to Circuits,” 2020: https://distill.pub/2020/circuits/zoom-in/ Geirhos et al., “ImageNet-Trained CNNs Are Biased Towards Texture; Increasing Shape Bias Improves Accuracy and Robustness,” ICLR 2019: https://openreview.net/forum?id=Bygh9j09KX Dehghani et al., “Scaling Vision Transformers to 22 Billion Parameters,” 2023: https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.05442 Hasson et al., “Direct Fit to Nature: An Evolutionary Perspective on Biological and Artificial Neural Networks,” February 2020: https://www.gwern.net/docs/ai/scaling/2020-hasson.pdf

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop III interviews Kelvin Lwin, the founder and CEO of Alin.ai. Their conversation ranges from Kelvin's experiences at NVIDIA and his deep knowledge of hardware-software integration to broader philosophical discussions about the future of AI, spirituality, and wisdom. Kelvin touches on how AI and technological advancements are shaping not just industries, but society and consciousness itself. They also explore how AI could personalize experiences and learning, using examples from his own company, Alin.ai, which focuses on K-12 education through personalized math learning.

He emphasizes that AI is inherently parallel, meaning its computations can be processed simultaneously, making GPUs essential to its progress. Understanding this dynamic is key to grasping the future of AI development.AI's Impact on Society and Consciousness: The discussion touches on how AI isn't just a technical tool but also influences society and even individual consciousness. Kelvin shares insights into how AI shapes our decision-making processes and could guide human development in a way that blends technology with personal growth, raising ethical questions about its long-term effects on humanity.The Importance of Personalization in Learning: One of the central ideas explored is personalization in education, a core focus of Kelvin's company, Alin.ai. By using AI to tailor math learning to students' individual needs and psychological states, the platform aims to help students overcome emotional blocks and anxiety associated with learning, especially in challenging subjects like math.Spirituality and Technology Intersect: A recurring theme is the intersection between spirituality and technology, where Kelvin talks about AI's potential to assist in guiding individuals through personal development, akin to how spiritual teachers work. He sees AI as a tool that could simulate aspects of this guidance, while recognizing the inherent dangers of superficial understanding.The Role of Breath in Meditation and AI Training: Kelvin emphasizes the role of breath in meditation as a bridge between conscious and subconscious states. In his work with Alin.ai, breath exercises are integrated into learning to manage stress and improve focus. He also warns, however, that breath exercises are powerful and should be approached cautiously, especially for beginners.Cultural and Spiritual Layers in AI Development: Kelvin draws from Eastern traditions like Buddhism to frame the development of AI, highlighting the importance of understanding cultural and spiritual contexts when designing systems that interact with human psychology. He compares levels of consciousness to different layers in AI programming, noting how both require understanding and pattern recognition to guide progress.The Ethical Complexity of AI Companionship: The conversation briefly touches on AI's role as a companion, especially in emotionally vulnerable populations. Kelvin expresses concern about using AI to simulate relationships, arguing that while it might serve a market demand, it could deepen isolation and emotional dependence, rather than fostering real human connection and growth.

Concreteness 2. Simile 3. Metaphor Concreteness is about being embedded in the world, about being real.00:08:02 Rhythm and How to Go with the Flow00:09:28 Parallelism 00:11:42 Repetition 00:12:39 Think about Winston Churchill's famous “we shall fight them on the beaches” speech00:13:58 Alliteration and Assonance00:15:33 How to Be a Masterful Storyteller • If you want your listeners to really absorb what you say to them, paint them a mental picture. Do this by using vivid and concrete imagery, similes (using like or as), and metaphors to connect abstract ideas with more real-world ones. Use adjectives and interesting details and be a little unexpected. • Language is musical by nature, and much of the meaning it conveys comes down to its rate, its articulation, its flow, and the way it moves through time. Pay attention to the rhythm and flow of your speech. • In parallelism, we repeat certain structures to create an effect. Repetition drives our point home and makes it seem more true, as do alliteration (repetition of initial consonant sounds) and assonance (repetition of internal or vowel sounds). • Human beings react not just to “information” but to narrative; to be a good storyteller, you need to go beyond sharing information and facts, and help your listeners form an emotional connection to what you're saying. Good stories enlist the use of our voice, body language, gestures, facial expressions, and even visual aids. • Make sure that your story illustrates supports or connects to your larger point or circumstance. Set the scene but don't dawdle on unnecessary detail. Start with a bang and keep things at a moderate pace, being concise. Be relevant and interesting, and if you can, practice your story ahead of time!#Alliteration #Assonance #Brevity #ChipsChannon #Concreteness #Metaphor #Parallelism #Repetition #Rhythm #RussellNewton #NewtonMG #PatrickKing #PatrickKingConsulting #SocialSkillsCoaching #HowtoSpeakEffectively #MasteringStyleandTone

13 March 2020. The world was waking up to the reality that a global pandemic had begun. Scientific modelling said the NHS would run out of life-saving equipment within weeks. A phone call from the Cabinet Office came through to professional services firm PA Consulting. The ask? To build 30,000 mechanical ventilators in eight weeks.It was a seemingly impossible request, but somehow the team delivered enough ventilators so no patient that needed one went without. In this episode, PA's innovation chief, Frazer Bennett, who was at the project helm, dissects the business lessons from the challenge, including the power of experimental mindsets, parallelism, the fallacy of a 'lightbulb moment' and why his heart sinks when he sees primary-coloured bean bags.Also on the show, was the first AI Safety Summit "too selective"? Is Elon Musk right that the future of work is no work? And after former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was found guilty of one of the biggest frauds in American history, why we are still suckers for charismatic founders?

A look at the theme and structure of Psalm 90

A look at the theme and structure of Psalm 90

It's the Season 10 finale of the Elixir Wizards podcast! José Valim, Guillaume Duboc, and Giuseppe Castagna join Wizards Owen Bickford and Dan Ivovich to dive into the prospect of types in the Elixir programming language! They break down their research on set-theoretical typing and highlight their goal of creating a type system that supports as many Elixir idioms as possible while balancing simplicity and pragmatism. José, Guillaume, and Giuseppe talk about what initially sparked this project, the challenges in bringing types to Elixir, and the benefits that the Elixir community can expect from this exciting work. Guillaume's formalization and Giuseppe's "cutting-edge research" balance José's pragmatism and "Guardian of Orthodoxy" role. Decades of theory meet the needs of a living language, with open challenges like multi-process typing ahead. They come together with a shared joy of problem-solving that will accelerate Elixir's continued growth. Key Topics Discussed in this Episode: Adding type safety to Elixir through set theoretical typing How the team chose a type system that supports as many Elixir idioms as possible Balancing simplicity and pragmatism in type system design Addressing challenges like typing maps, pattern matching, and guards The tradeoffs between Dialyzer and making types part of the core language Advantages of typing for catching bugs, documentation, and tooling The differences between typing in the Gleam programming language vs. Elixir The possibility of type inference in a set-theoretic type system The history and development of set-theoretic types over 20 years Gradual typing techniques for integrating typed and untyped code How José and Giuseppe initially connected through research papers Using types as a form of "mechanized documentation" The risks and tradeoffs of choosing syntax Cheers to another decade of Elixir!

I see a lot of writing mistakes with learners struggling with parallel structures, or parallelism. This is where features in a sentence have to follow the same grammatical patterns to sound natural.It may sound a bit confusing, but honestly, it's fairly simple once you understand the main idea. In this episode, I go through 7 examples of how to sound more natural with this grammar rule as I talk about some of my favourite travel memories. I encourage you to respond and do the same!Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast223Sign Up for Free Lessons - https://www.levelupenglish.school/#freelessonsJoin Level Up English - https://courses.levelupenglish.schoolBy becoming a member, you can access all podcast transcripts, listen to the private podcast and join live lessons and courses on the website.Support the show

Focused on the Right Things | Dr. Zach CrookPsalm 1:1-61. Focus on God's WordA. Parallelism is the heart of Hebrew poetry1. He doesn't walk, or stand, or sit2. We get the clear idea that we avoid sin!B. We find true satisfaction when our delight is in Scripture instead of sin!2. Focus on Bearing Fruit  A. The metaphor of a tree is intentional1. In Proverbs 3:18, a tree is a metaphor for wisdomB. In this passage, the idea of prospering is not tied to anything material, it isassociated with bearing biblical fruit1. Our display of the fruit of the Spirit is evidence of our love for God3. Focus on your Future  A. The truth is that judgment is coming1. The wicked will perish2. Without Christ, we are all in that camp!B. We can be assured that God intimately knows everyone who has trusted in ChristC. All who trust in Christ will be eternally blessed

Elixir Wizards Owen Bickford and Dan Ivovich are joined by Mike Waud, Senior Software Engineer at SparkMeter, and Tony Winn, Lead Software Architect at Generac, to discuss the future of the BEAM in the electric grid, how their companies use Elixir, and the challenges they face in implementing cutting-edge technologies in an environment with a mix of old and new systems. Both guests have backgrounds in various programming languages before turning to Elixir for its functional programming capabilities, concurrency, and reliability. Elixir's portability allows it to be used in various environments, from cloud-based systems to more conservative organizations that prefer running software off the cloud. Key topics discussed in this episode: • Technology sophistication varies across different regions and industries • BEAM's reliability, concurrency, and scaling in electric grid systems • Using Elixir for caching, telemetry, and managing traffic spikes • Elixir fits well for devices due to its fault tolerance and supervision trees • Observability with telemetry hooks for understanding system performance • Traffic patterns in the grid space are often dictated by weather and human activity, requiring efficient handling • The balance between using Elixir/BEAM and other tools depending on use case • Using Elixir tools like Broadway to work with event queues and Nebulex for distributed caching • The future of the electric grid and its evolution over the next 10 years, including a shift towards more distributed energy generation • Global lessons about grid management, solar penetration, regulations, and energy storage • Prioritizing data in IoT systems and processing data at the edge of the network • Gratitude for open-source contributors in the Elixir community Links in this episode: SparkMeter: https://www.sparkmeter.io/ Generac: https://www.generac.com/ SmartLogic - https://smartlogic.io/jobs Gary Bernhardt's talk on functional core and imperative shell: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/boundaries Joe Armstrong's Erlang book: https://pragprog.com/titles/jaerlang/programming-erlang/ The Nerves podcast and documentation: https://nerves-project.org/ Special Guests: Mike Waud and Tony Winn.

PSALMS CLASS…………………………………09/19/2022 Psalms 1 & 2 PSALMS 1 (Continued)……. Vs. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the [c]rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. “Like A Tree” This Metaphor speaks of stability, Strength, Longevity ( See California Redwoods, some trees 4000 years old)..also being immoveable…a tree is never easily moved/uprooted…Also as  WELL as FRUITFULNESS This is a picture of stable, immoveable, persistent , FRUITFUL …Lasting eternal SAINTS….Because they are so strong In God They also offer protection/security for others Song..”I shall not be, I shall not be Moved….just like a tree planted by the waters, I shall not be moved” Ps. 15:5 He who does not put out his money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent He who does these things shall never be moved. Ps. 46:5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be [b]moved; God shall help her, just [c]at the break of dawn.(city/ house of God) Matt15:13 But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. “PLANTED” This is a tree, that God PLANTED, This shows God's nurturing care & cultivation of this specific Tree. God did this intentionally, this is not just any wild tree or bush “By” literally ‘on' or ‘over'..planted right OVER water like an oasis, a tree of righteousness We are to Be  right in The Water (SPIRIT) of God ..Ro. 8:9, Gal. 5:16, 25;Eph. 2:22 “RIVERS” Plural in the Hebrew…could be canal or channels, has the idea of a ‘DIVIDE'…shows cultivation…irrigation ( we work with Abba to irrigate)…Trees like willow trees ‘hunt' for water with their root…A Garden of EDEN experience “RIVERS”…shows a Free-flowing Life in God..Jn.7:37-39 out of ones belly RIVERS of Living water shall flow…A CONTINUAL source of life Giving Water provided(joel 2:23) Rev. 7:7 For the Lamb at the center of the throne     will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.'[a]     ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.'[b Jn. 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. II Peter 2:17 wells without water God will keep the woman/man who delights & meditates In Him flowing in His Spirit “That brings forth its fruit in its season,” …Times & ‘SEASONS” ( ECC. 3) of Fruitfulness…Wonderful & healthy fruit is brought forth, in correct season & order We get ‘rooted'  to provide good fruit as we ABIDE in Abba…Gal. 5:22,23 … Jn. 15:4-5 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. Jn. 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. Gal. 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. A natural process to produce FRUIT in Abba's season for the BLESSED Man/Woman!..FRUIT is the proof of our quality, character , nature….we as God's children may produce different fruit. “Whose leaf also shall not wither”….this speaks of what we do, Godly activity in Kingdom work….we will not dry up, we are receiving Plenty of SON shine…because of our delight & meditation in ABBA we are ALWAYS Receiving & growing…producing fruit to nourish ourselves + others(chlorophyll, process)  ..Like a healthy fruit tree we are alive, fresh & full of ‘green' life   “And whatever he does shall prosper…” This is The PROOF of BLESSING For one committed to ABBA…To be a success, , Be profitable…from a root to Push forward or break out Psalm 92:12,13 The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable].  Planted in the house of the Lord, They will flourish in the courts of our God. Genesis 39:3  And his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all he did [a]to prosper in his hand….23 The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under [a]Joseph's authority, because the Lord was with him; and whatever he did, the Lord made it prosper. Genesis 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: Jeremiah 17:5-8 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his [a]strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord. 6 For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited. 7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. 8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not [b]fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. II Chron 31:20,21 Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God. 21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.     THE CONTRAST………Ps. 1:4,5,6 Vs. 4, 5 & 6 4)The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6)For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish. Vs 4)” The ungodly are not so,…” literally, ‘NOT  SO The Unrighteous!'..emphatic Hebrew expression….NONE of the Righteous mans Blessings will ever apply to the ungodly man/woman Last 3 verses of chpt. Refer in contrast to the righteous …now the ungodly Refers back to phrase in verse 1 ‘Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly…'(both ½ lines) “CHAFF”      This word is used to show the unrighteous/ungodly as being opposite in character/life style of the Godly……Strong TREES have ROOTS, Life…..CHAFF is blown about, no substance, sustenance or LIFE=WORTHLESS…chaff is Dry & barren….processed in a ‘threshing barn' to separate it out from GOOD grain…slats built in to BLOW away worthless chaff….chaff is unstable & of no use. Matthew 3:11,12   11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Daniel 2:35  Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth. Isaiah 5:24 Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw     and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay     and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty     and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel. Jude 12,13 12 These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead, 5) Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in Judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous Not in the sense of Resurrection…speaks of being honored or debased….a state of shame is in view NO Justification in sin sacrifice or Christ's blood  , rather a condemning Judgment…as wicked will be cut off “Stand In judgment” Literally, ‘'they shall arise in vindication”    “Congregation” = community, assembly, gathering…a root= to TESTIFY Ps. 5:5 The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; Ps. 26:12 My foot stands in an even place; In the congregations I will bless the Lord. Ps. 73:18 Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. Goats/sheep….wheat/tares…fruit/chaff God is moving now to expose sin In His Church..I Peter 4:17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Re. 6:17 “For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” Parallelism …. 6)For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish. The ultimate factor in a life Is God KNOWING Us ….implies He has accepted Me, & Is INVOLVED INTIATELY with Me(YADA) II Tim. 2:19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of [a]Christ depart from iniquity.”   6…………(KNOWS) continued I Cor. 8:1-3 Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge [a]puffs up, but love [b]edifies. 2 And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.   if anyone loves God this one is KNOWN by Him Matthew 7:21-23 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' Job 23:10 But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. Jn. 14:6 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Heb. 10:20 20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, PSALM 139 Matthew 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are numbered He Knows more about Us than even we know of ourselves “PERISH” Literally , “To Wander” A Person left to their own way & uncared for ,wanders aimlessly like a lost child & ends up perishing PSALM 16:8 I have Ever set the Lord Before Me James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. PSALM 112:1,2 Praise[a] the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, Who delights greatly in His commandments. 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed

Michael Malice joins Lexman to discuss the concept of parallelism in the context of doggies and glisters. They explore how these strange creatures apply the principle in different ways and what it can tell us about the way the world works.

The Siksha Valli chapter of Taittiriya Upanishad derives its name from Shiksha (Sanskrit: शिक्षा), which literally means "instruction, education".Taittiriya is a Sanskrit word that means "from Tittiri". The root of this name has been interpreted in two ways: "from Vedic sage Tittiri", who was the student of Yāska; or alternatively, it is a collection of verses from mythical students who became "partridges" (birds) in order to gain knowledge.Each chapter of the Taittiriya Upanishad is called a ValliThe Sikshavalli includes - - A student's promise - First Anuvāka- Phonetics and the theory of connecting links - Second and Third Anuvāka- A teacher's prayer - Fourth Anuvāka- A theory of Oneness and holy exclamations - Fifth and Sixth Anuvāka- Parallelism in knowledge and what is Om - Seventh and Eighth Anuvāka- Ethical duties of human beings - Ninth and Tenth Anuvāka- Convocation address to graduating students, living ethically - Eleventh Anuvāka- Graduating student's acknowledgement - Twelfth AnuvākaThe Sikshavalli imparted by gurus to their students in the Taittireya Upanishad sheds light on the path leading to Brahmanandam. Do not consider Brahma Vidya to be beyond human understanding. Brahma Vidya consists of simple spiritual practices like the practice of truth in daily life and the blossoming of character. One must accumulate the wealth of spiritual practices with patience. May 31, 1991

Steve and Marijn start with Formula 1 and the changes this season, which are about restricting resources so that to win you must make everything count.  ‘making everything counts' makes Steve think about what specific functionality in the core apps, Outlook, SPO and MS teams deliver the most significant value.Marijn explains that he has moved to the dark side on the side of the user. All because they have cookies.  Marijn shouts out that he will be on Blame the end-user video and the boys call out about the people they are collaborating with.Steve eventually starts with Parallelism, not a cult but looking at how the F1 teams manage with reductions in all areas for 2021 and looking to make every bit of resources count.  So how can we parallel that to the adoption of Office365?Steve suggests we look at the Big sell for the big 3 apps in M365.Outlook always goes first, so what adds the most significant value, steve suggests it connects to all the other content in the Cloud ecosystem.  The value of such things like adding an attachment in a literal few seconds.Marijn talks about the Email being a notification tool, but the components are active to respond without leaving the outlook message.Email keeps you in touch with lots more great notifications like an update by others in co-authored documents.  And Dear jeff messages gets the idea of groups notifications and Cortana groups all the updated together.Lists become a valuable item for SharePoint as well as a massive shout out for Metadata from Marijn.  Steve reminds us that now on Lists, you get comments by default.It all just happens, fantastic!Steve learns something new following on from checking in with Marijn about auto-tagging in folders. With MS teams, this makes your folder view from your channels become dynamic metadata driven libraries.Marijns value for MS teams is about everything in one place… much of it as an extension of collaboration.

FREE GUIDE LINK: https://songwritertheory.com/freeguide/ It's day 2 of our Week of Lyric Writing Tools. This time, we're going to look at utilizing parallelism in lyrics. ParallelismYou have to love some good parallelism. Star Wars has made plenty of use of parallels. Both Luke and Anakin lose their hands.Both (as well as Rey) come from small beginnings on a desolate desert planet.And both of them have their temptation scene with Darth Sidious seated in a metal chair with space behind him. In both, the young Jedi is tempted to kill the sith apprentice. Anakin makes the wrong choice and does, while Luke does the right thing and takes mercy. There are plenty of other examples, but take a look at those two clips and you will see the obvious parallel. We can do the same thing with our songs. A great example of parallelism in a song is Fast Car by Tracy Chapman.Listen to get the rest!
