- Flag Football
- Hi, we are Annie & Tiffany from Flag Football CCA.
- It is a non-contact version of American football, where tackles are made by pulling off flags that all players wear on their hips.
- The game retains the same inclusivity that makes American Football great, welcoming athletes of all abilities, genders, and levels of experience. Play is based on the same principles as the contact game with offensive teams having four attempts (downs) to reach a certain point on the field with the defensive team seeking to halt their progress.
- We are enthusiastic and friendly players, and we welcome players of all levels.
- Involvement in lots of events: e.g. Last year we went to different schools for matches and even played with ECUPL. A tournament among Shanghai’s international schools is going to be held this school year.
- Contact Tiffany Guo。
- Peer Pao：学生辅导，互帮互助。请联系 Frank Zhou。

- 这是一种非接触式的美式足球，所有球员都要扯下对方腰间挂着的旗子才能阻碍其进攻。
- 该游戏保留了橄榄球的包容性，对各种能力、性别和经验水平的运动员友好。比赛基于与接触式比赛相同的原则，进攻队有四次机会进攻，防守队则设法阻止他们前进。
- 我们是热情友好的业余选手，欢迎所有水平的同学加入。
- 去年我们和一些高中还有华政进行了友谊赛。这个学年将会举办上海国际学校间的联赛。
- 请联系 Tiffany Guo。

Weekly Dose of TOK 每周知识论
Economics and TOK
- To what extent can mathematical models provide a comprehensive understanding of economic phenomena?
-
Uses:
- They provide a systematic and rigorous framework for analyzing complex economic systems. This quantitative approach allows for precise calculations and facilitates the development of logical arguments based on mathematical reasoning.
- They can simplify complex economic phenomena by abstracting away unnecessary details, focusing on essential factors, and establishing clear cause-and-effect relationships.
- Key Takeaway: Mathematical models can provide a good abstraction.
-
Limitations:
- Mathematical models often rely on simplifying assumptions, and the validity of these assumptions is crucial for the model's reliability and applicability to real-world situations. Oversimplifications can lead to unrealistic results and fail to capture the full complexity of economic phenomena.
- Often, a model is only valid for short amounts of time, as hard-coded values change with macroeconomic conditions.
- Key Takeaway: By definition, mathematical models are an abstraction, so details are lost in translation.
-
Evaluation:
- While mathematical models can provide some insights into economic phenomena, they are limited in their ability to provide a comprehensive understanding.

Article Recommendation of the Week 杂志文章简评
Preparing for the Future of Generative AI
AI (Artificial Intelligence), which means artificial intelligence in Chinese, is no longer a unfamiliar word today. AI is everywhere, and the most familiar one is probably the chat robot ChatGPT that appeared last autumn. ChatGPT knows almost everything despite math is less developed than other fields. It saved us a lot of time on search integration and became a new favorite to help people learn. But have we ever thought about why ChatGPT has so much energy? How can AI be used by humans in other industries?
With the rapid development of AI in various fields, it is easy to come to the conclusion that "a large number of job positions will be eliminated in the future", "there will not be so many people in the workplace in the future", and "a powerful AI system will perform cognitive work at a higher level than human labor". This is a huge misjudgment.
Labor force develops with the development of generative AI, rather than being replaced. Leaders who deal with the coexistence of generative AI and human resources can take the following steps: objectively view and actively respond. Training of professionals. We need to plan an internal department who will be responsible for continuously monitoring and adjusting AI systems and tools. With the dynamic development of AI, new potential risks and opportunities will emerge, requiring dedicated business teams to monitor risks, develop short-term and long-term scenarios, and seize new growth opportunities. Once again, when it comes to AI, the focus of the leader must shift from the frontline to the high-level. Leaders need to focus on how to enable humans and AI to collaborate efficiently to complete their work. For most employees, how to match the extensive functions of AI with daily cognitive tasks and learn how to use multimodal AI for more and better work. Finally, leaders need to master the constantly changing AI workforce framework. Predict how and when the workforce needs to undergo changes in order to leverage AI.
In this period of change and uncertainty, the best thing an organization can do is plan for the future. It is certain that some jobs will be eliminated, but new job opportunities will also arise as a result. This requires leaders to understand the limitations and advantages of generative AI, adopt a culture of continuous evaluation and improvement, resist the temptation to reduce employees, and use strategic foresight to create the future. In this future, highly skilled employees can utilize AI, and collaboration between humans and future AI teams will result in higher productivity, creativity, and efficiency than working alone.

Artist of the Week 每周艺术家
August Natterer
August Natterer, given the pseudonym “Neter” by his psychiatrist, was a German outsider artist with schizophrenia. Natterer worked as an electrician before experiencing intense hallucinations of the Last Judgement on April 1st, 1907. He narrates: He explained: I saw images… as quick as a flash followed each other, about 10,000 in half an hour. God himself occurred, the witch, who created the world – in between worldly visions: images of war, continents, memorials, castles, beautiful castles, just the glory of the world – but all of this to see in supernal images.
This apocalyptic theme would be central to many of his hallucinations, which he painted and drew, never receiving formal training.
Natterer’s works were published in 1922 in Artistry of the Mentally Ill, a book by German psychiatrist Hans Prinzhorn. The publication entailed the full-color reprints and in-depth analysis of the artworks of 10 schizophrenic artists, whom Prinzhorn called the “schizophrenic masters.” It is the first book that analyzed the works of psychiatric patients from an artistic perspective, rather than a psychological perspective. Natterer’s works subsequently influenced many avant-garde German artists, who sought new worldviews and methods to navigate their postwar world. Famous artists like Max Ernst had drawn from his surreal but exceedingly complex compositions.
