Evaluate Carefully

An evaluation of AI Interpreting by the World Health Organization yielded, according to Dr. Claudio Fantinuoli, an interesting but unsurprising conclusion:“assessment results are surprisingly low for all languages.” To be fair, the technology has progressed and continues to progress rapidly. But it will be some time before there is anything like human parity. The biggest take-away from the study: it is difficult to evaluate AI Interpreting. It isn’t just about asking whether it can work, it is about asking “rather for whom, when, and why.”

Weird Christmas facts:
1 in 3 men wait until Christmas Eve to do their shopping. Christmas came from the words Cristes Maesse meaning “mass of Christ.” Christmas trees usually grow for close to 15 years before they can be sold. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer got his start as an advertising gimmick for Montgomery Ward in 1839.

ALL HALLOWS EVE

Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and Halloween 2022 will occur on Monday, October 31. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.
