Gratitude Blog 7

By: Helen Ruiz


First off, I am very grateful that it is finally the weekend. It’s been a not-so-eventful week, so I haven’t had anything to really talk about. On Friday night, I worked with some of my favorite coworkers, stayed extra late to finish my work, got everything done, and didn’t have to go in this morning. 


I am super thankful I got to sleep in today. However, I slept so much that I only had 30 minutes to shower and get ready for church, which was a very hectic experience. I am very happy I was able to accomplish my mission AND be 8 minutes early. 


After church and lunch, I completed yet another workout for my KINE121 class, which was a real challenge. I am very grateful my heart has become strong enough to allow me to do this fitness activity, although I did have to keep an eye on my heart rate levels.


Later in the day, I got ready for the Quinceanera of a family friend. It might sound really selfish on my part, but I always tell my mom that the best part about any type of event is the food. There was SO much to choose from, and it was all very delicious!

Two Minute Technology: Machine Learning

Two Minute Technology: Machine Learning Any learning entity - be it an animal, human or a machine begins with an initial set of observations - raw data . This kind of data can stem from interactions, transactions, information exchange, examples, instructions or experiences. A brain - whether it belongs to a human or animal, tries to look for patterns inside that initial data and then uses it to perform actions or make decisions. This same phenomenon can be applied to machines, using machine learning. Machine learning is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence. According to Arthur Samuel, a computer scientist, machine learning gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. Another computer scientist, Tom Mitchell, took the same details of machine learning, but broke it down further in his definition. I find Mitchell's definition more fitting to describe exactly what machine learning is. "Machine learning is a well-posed learning problem: a computer...

How apple has dominated the phone company

Image
  In the growth of smartphones in 2007  apple made basically the first touch screen held cell phone in which it was different from all of the others that was around. This tech guru Steve jobs knew at the time that he had something special. At this time he was competing with companies that were making flip phones, blackberries or even the slide up phones at the time. This was an outside the box move in which no one was doing at the time or even thought about doing.  Cell phones have come a long way back in the day before that they were carrying like bricks with them and you can tell it was a bad time. This mix of new styles of phones which basically turned the whole industry into touch screens and smartphones. This company lost their lead Steve jobs who was the man with the plan and stated this trend but the company has been able to continue to grow.  Many people don't know that the company made a bad deal with AT&T at the time. This deal was made to get all of t...

Ryan's Top Ten Albums - In Rainbows - Radiohead

Image
  In Rainbows - Radiohead Released 2007 - Genre: Art Rock, Experimental Rock While the albums I talked about in this blog are not ranked in any particular order, I can confidently say that this is my favorite album. Radiohead has always been one of my favorite bands, my original idea for this blog was to do an entry on each of their nine studio albums. In Rainbows came at a very unique point in the band’s career, as they had already seemingly reinvented the wheel twice, with the release of OK Computer in 1997, and Kid A in 2000, and their few albums since had been highly regarded but never to that same level. In Rainbows was their attempt at reinventing their sound again and doing something groundbreaking, and they delivered. The buildup to the album's release was very unique, as the band promoted the album almost solely on their own website, where they boasted a pay-what-you-want scheme for the album, where fans could pay any amount (or nothing at all) to download the album. I...
