**REGISTER AT THE LUMA EVENT PAGE!!!** https://luma.com/27ja5gwl Join us for an exciting talk by Mary Gibbs, Senior Applied Scientist at Relativity. ​ ​**​Agenda:** ​​6:00 - 6:30 PM - Welcome and mingle 6:30- 6:45 PM - Introductions 6:45 - 7:30 PM - Talk 7:30 - 8:00 PM - Wrap up **​​Description:** ​If you have ever shipped a model, watched your metrics improve, and later learned from your users that something was wrong, the metrics were always wrong. You just didn’t know it yet. An evaluation consists of three components, a benchmark, a scorer, and a claim about what a score represents. Each component has its own weaknesses. Benchmarks can suffer from narrow coverage, contamination, or saturation. Scorers are often chosen for ease of automation or computation rather than for their alignment with user outcomes. And the claim connecting a score to reality is rarely made explicit. These gaps compound across the model development lifecycle. When metrics improve, teams treat that as a signal and optimize directly against it, which is how a measurement problem becomes a model problem. This talk maps where evaluations can go wrong, considers counterarguments, and ends with practical advice for building better ones. **​Speaker Bio:** ​Mary is a Senior Applied Scientist at Relativity, tackling data science challenges in the e-discovery and legal tech space. She is also an organizer for Women and Gender eXpansive Coders DC (formerly Women Who Code DC), fostering a community dedicated to empowering women and nonbinary individuals to excel in their careers.

Before venturing into the field of data science, Mary conducted and published research pertaining to the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopment at the National Institutes of Health. In other words, she has dissected and imaged a lot of fruit fly brains. She holds a M.S. in Data Science from The George Washington University and a B.A. in Biological Sciences from Cornell University

Jimmy is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. He makes a controversial decision: rather than accept the inevitable prolonged period of deterioration that comes with the condition, he requests assisted suicide. It’s legal where he lives, and he receives approval. He plans a grand party on the day he’s chosen to leave this world, calling it a FUN-eral to which he invites friends and neighbors. Jimmy’s a peculiar fellow with peculiar friends, and the celebration combines chaos and compassion. The subject may offend or disturb some viewers, but those who stay through the end will discover that there’s more to this story than meets the eye. ■ Title — *Moon Manor* ■ Director — Machete Bang Bang, Erin Granat ■ Cast — Whitmer Thomas, Debra Wilson, Richard Riehle ■ Unrated, suitable for teens and adults ■ ©2022 \| 1h 43m \| Biography\, Comedy\, Drama ■ Watch it free with ads on Fawesome: https://fawesome.tv/movies/10659795/moon-manor ■ Watch it free with ads on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/100027597/moon-manor ■ Available free without ads to Amazon Prime subscribers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.c6146347-b976-437e-bb42-e56da3c444e1 ■ Available free without ads to Hoopla subscribers: https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/14853655 ■ Available free without ads to Kanopy subscribers (details below): https://www.kanopy.com/en/product/12113450 ■ Kanopy streaming service is available free to holders of DC library cards.

This is a time where players of all ages, and skill levels can gather and enjoy a nice Sunday full of Chess!

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
