Let me introduce myself. My name is Sabrina Mejia. I am a very artistic open minded person. I have 14 years of playing violin and almost 24 years of art experience. I, at one point, was a campaign manager for my husband when he ran for Perry Township Constable. Unfortunately, it was a loss, but we did gain almost 2k votes for being third party. I have held many positions in management over the years and I am very people oriented. I am a very down to earth person. I am a mother of one and married to an amazing husband who has a background in Law Enforcement and has a degree in criminal justice. I also have a German shepherd name Riley. If elected to a position for Asgardia, I will do my best to listen to every request of the people and will implement all that I can that will help strive to move our society forward as a people's.

Introduction:

Hi, my name is Brendan Taylor and I’m a firm believer and promoter in the analytical use of open data to help us make informed decisions. I have over 8 years of data, big data, data analysis and reporting experience across multiple industries such as banking, shipping, entertainment, oil and gas, and private lifestyle management.

First, let me break this article down into 3 parts; Data source, data storage and data usage. I will cover each one in a little more detail and hopefully I can convince you that, not only is the collection of OD needed, it’s also vital and can have a HUGE impact on the lives of all Asgardians.

Part 1: Data source

Everywhere we look, everything we do and even the things or actions we don’t do, generate data that can collected and analysed. When used properly, collected in a transparent way and openly accessible, this data is priceless to effective management. So let’s look at the multiple sources of data that exist (currently, or possibly in the future) in the context of Asgardia.

It is also important to remember that this article will be looking at high level data that can be used to create a “big picture” view of Asgardia. None of the data collected will contain identifiable data, especially when this data is intended to be accessible by all Asgardians.

A quick look and a few examples of OD from the Ministries of Asgardia:

1.Justice

Crime data is important and it help identify the type of crime, where and when the crime happened. Having this data can help with the allocation of resources in terms of policing and the ability to respond to incidents.

2. Science

What advances have been made that can integrated into Asgardia. This can be anything for new improvements to existing technology, new medical technology, more efficient ways of producing energy. Engineers will be able to access this data as it comes available.

3. Citizenship

I have seen some great infographics being produced giving us a clear breakdown of how Asgardia is made up. Seeing the societal make up of Asgardia is important, as we are a melting pot of different cultures, each bringing their own customs and languages. This data can help integrate our communities and also identify what is needed or missing, that every Asgardian is made to feel welcome in our accepting society.

4. Finance

“Just follow the money” is an infamous saying in today’s earth society. To help stamp out corruption and keep Asgardia fair, open and transparent, data about each transaction made within the Asgardian Government should be open to the public. Being able to see how much, when, where, by who and why each transaction was made, this adds a level of accountability. This will also help cut down wastage, keep spending in check and allow citizens of Asgardia to see exactly how their taxes are being spent.

5. Trade and Commerce

Being able to see what materials and services are being traded through Asgardia is important. Being able to see what types of materials and services are being either imported or exported, the level or amount of these trades can help identify shortages, and help Asgardia better allocated resources. This OD can also identify trends and highlight opportunities which can help improve the prosperity of Asgardia

6. Education

Education is vitally important to the continuation and the expanding of Asgardia. Without the scientists, engineers, makers and creators, Asgardia is nothing. With an educated society, anything is possible. Being able to see skill sets across the nation of Asgardia, can help allocate skills to specific projects, identify short falls in skills needed, help make allocations to strengthen and widen skill sets. Education is key to the success of our nation!

7.Equity and Resources

Making sure Asgardia is sustainable and able to survive as a nation, OD about the resources available to the nation is important. Not only to identify shortages, but spot trends within the nation and create opportunities to increase trade. Knowing what the nation needs and what the nation has will benefit all.

8. Administrative

The tracking of changes made within Asgardia, with regards to who made, what was changed and why the change was made, will add much accountability and severity to the change. If questioned about any of the changes, those accountable must to able to answer. This increases transparency, decreases hidden agendas and corruption.

Part 2 and 3: Data Storage and Data Usage

Part 2 and part 3 is open to discussion, but a discussion that needs to be held. I call upon those with skills surrounding data to give their input and help plan, design, implement and maintain a safe and secure environment for this data. Through the use of the latest technology, I’m 100% positive we can create a viable solution, adding to the value of Asgardia.

Conclusion:

Data is important. We live in a society where making informed decisions is vital, especially when decisions will impact the lives of ordinary Asgardians. Data is my passion, and I work with data every day of the week, whether in my private life or in my professional life.

If you agree with what I have to say, I ask that you vote me in the elections.

What’s the future of education? How will students learn differently? What will the schools of the future look like? We asked TED-Ed Innovative Educators to share their ideas. Their answers are provocative, contradictory — and make for great conversation starters. Welcome to the “Choose Your Own Adventure” future of learning.

There will be more creativity in education.
“Because that’s what careers will require. Education will be not just taking in information and sharing it back, but also figuring out what to do with that information in the real world.” —Josefino Rivera, Jr., educator in Buenos Aires, Argentina

The classroom will be one big makerspace.
“Technology like Evernote, Google, and Siri will be standard and will change what teachers value and test for. Basically, if you can ask Siri to answer a question, then you will not be evaluated on that. Instead, learning will be project based. Students will be evaluated on critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. Literature and math will still be taught, but they will be taught differently. Math will be taught as a way of learning how to solve problems and puzzles. In literature, students will be asked what a story means to them. Instead of taking tests, students will show learning through creative projects. The role of teachers will be to guide students in the areas where they need guidance as innovators. How do you get kids to be innovative? You let them. You get out of their way.” —Nicholas Provenzano, educator in Michigan, United States

“How do you get kids to be innovative? You let them. You get out of their way.”

There will be no physical campus.
“Instead, students will learn in traveling classrooms, and the real world will be their campus. Students will live together and use city libraries and city laboratories to complete a project. Learning won’t be limited to a physical school. There’s already a model for this: Minerva Schools, a venture university.” —Hyuk Jang, educator in Busan, South Korea

Students will learn that nothing is impossible.
“Education will instill the idea that anything that is not possible now will be possible in the future. Let’s make that part of education.” —Kristine Sargsyan, educator in Yerevan, Armenia

Education will look nothing like it does now.
“Schools will be multidisciplinary, with a focus on social justice. You have to change the world to change the classroom, and right now, the difference between the poor and rich districts is huge.” —Eduardo Godoy, educator in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Will schools even exist in 2050?
“Is teaching a dying profession? If not, then the classroom will change a lot. I don’t think schools will exist in the same format, with desks and chairs. Instead, learning will incorporate virtual reality and multiple perspectives. Students will learn how to negotiate issues and exchange ideas.” —Sharon Hadar, educator in Raanana, Israel

So long as there is a workplace… there will be schools.
“The K-12 experience for students also provides societal infrastructure that allows for a working class. By 2050, the ‘World of Work’ will have little resemblance to what it is today. We should hope this to be the case for schools as well. If we begin by helping children to identify their strengths, interests and values — and then dedicate time in school to cultivating them towards exploring where each child’s unique place in the world might be — I think we’ll be on the right path regardless of what new technologies or advances in learning become available. — David Miyashiro, Superintendent, Cajon Valley Union School District, California, United States

School design will be very security oriented.
“Because of school shootings, there will be safe rooms. Climate change will lead to more extreme weather-related school closings, and as a result, schools will become a hub, a place where students go occasionally when they need it.” —Shannon Brake, educator in Kansas, United States

Alternately, school design won’t change much.
“The classroom hasn’t changed much in the past 50 years. Even the bell design is the same as it was 50 years ago.” —Vicki Albritton, educator in Georgia, United States

Мир находится в опасности и спасение лежит в изменении мировоззрения.

Человеческая цивилизация сформировалась в условиях «пустого мира» — мира неизведанных территорий и избытка ресурсов. Превалирующие религии, политические идеологии, социальные институты, привычки мышления всё ещё коренятся в нём. В реальности же человечество вошло в «полный мир», заполненный до краёв, с весьма смутными перспективами дальнейшего расширения границ. Если и далее продолжать жить по правилам «пустого мира» коллапс не заставит долго ждать.

Существует переизбыток капитала в фиктивных, но доходных сферах, в то время как направления, от которых зависит будущее планеты, испытывают дефицит средств.

97% массы позвоночных на Земле приходится на людей и скот; на всех остальных, от летучих мышей до слонов, приходится 3%.

Один процент самых богатых американцев генерирует триста восемнадцать тонн выбросов CO2 в год на человека, в то время как средний житель земли — шесть тонн (перепад в пятьдесят три раза раза). Десять процентов самых богатых домохозяйств мира являются причиной сорока пяти процентов общего объёма выбросов. Они первыми должны перейти к устойчивым моделям жизнедеятельности.

С начала прошлого века население выросло пятикратно, но экономический оборот — в сорок раз, потребление топлива — в шестнадцать, вылов рыбы — в тридцать пять.

«закон Мура» перестанет действовать в 2020-2025 гг., так что сингулярности не ожидается.

Авторы указывают на губительность перехода «от рассмотрения реальности как целого к её разделению на множество мелких фрагментов». Наивный реализм и материализм несостоятельны в философском плане и попросту неверны в научном. Обращаясь к принципу неопределенности Гейзенберга и концепции комплементарности Бора, авторы напоминает, что «взаимодействие исследователя с его объектом — базовая составляющая акта познания».

Нефтегазовый сектор становится огромным пузырём, который может полностью обесцениться за несколько лет.
