DOUGLAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL Eighty-Fourth Commencement Class of 2021 Thursday, May 27, 2021, 8:0 0 AM Douglas County High School DOUGLAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL DOUGLAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL Douglasville, Georgia 8705 Campbellton, Douglasville, GA 30134 770-651-6500 • https://dchs.dcssga.org Eighty-Fourth Commencement - 2021 Thursday, May 27, 2021, 8:00 AM Dear Senior Class of 2021: You finally made it! Your parents finally made it! Look what a difference four years can make! Do you remember in 9th grade “Scream” the TV series being filmed at DCHS? Do you remember the abrupt end to the 19-20 school year? I mean, “wow,” what a time to graduate! COVID-19 has created an entirely different world from Fall of your Junior Year to now. As the world goes back to “pre-COVID” times, remember the small things we used to take for granted … Family, Fun, and Fellowship. Do not lose sight of those things in or out of the COVID pandemic. It has been an absolute pleasure and an honor to serve you all through the good times, bad times and uncertain times. I have watched you all grow from scared, immature young teenagers to mature young adults that are ready to take on the world. I want you to remember the main goal of high school is to learn, grow and graduate. Of course, on the way, we know/hope you have learned a lot, been challenged, become a critical thinker, made friends, got involved, competed and grew. Graduating from DCHS sets you up to have options after high school and to make a decision of which way you want your life to go. -
Artificial Intelligence: Distinguishing Between Types & Definitions
19 NEV. L.J. 1015, MARTINEZ 5/28/2019 10:48 AM ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN TYPES & DEFINITIONS Rex Martinez* “We should make every effort to understand the new technology. We should take into account the possibility that developing technology may have im- portant societal implications that will become apparent only with time. We should not jump to the conclusion that new technology is fundamentally the same as some older thing with which we are familiar. And we should not hasti- ly dismiss the judgment of legislators, who may be in a better position than we are to assess the implications of new technology.”–Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito1 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................. 1016 I.

This theme has several meanings. In particular, we will draw attention to the Gulf of Mexico–Caribbean, and the surrounding T American continents, bridging the knowledge gap that exists across a region divided by polit- ical boundaries and language but sharing a common geologic framework. Bridging the Gulf also addresses the need to develop a closer link between technology and the science of geology and to educate the public on issues critical to the development of intelligent policies on the environment and geologic hazards. We also hope to bridge the gulf between the past and the future with both a retrospection on the past 25 years of plate tectonics and a look at the future as geology responds to society’s needs. Finally, we view the city of New Orleans, the Mississippi River and its delta, and the Gulf Coast as a laboratory where the long- term effects of humans on the environment can be examined. NEW ORLEANS: The Crescent City–New Orleans is nestled on the inside of a south-looping meander of the Mississippi River. -
