Education functions as an important institution of learning and change. It offers an opportunity for students to move into depth on particular concepts and then raise that knowledge through research so that a nation we continue to move forward. Education that takes place before education should focus more on the ability to function broadly in society as well as contain enough nuggets for future trade work or higher education. As a value generator for society higher education can raise knowledge for more scientific-industry development as well as higher order thinking that leads to leadership and a better life. Research, whether online or on ground, is important for national innovation and is an important part of university life.
Consider the many minds that create a powerful nation. Innovation allows us to develop products, fight pollution, improve on our national structure, and raise the value for shareholders. It also allows us to improve the lives of our citizens as well the quality of life through better understanding of how we as a species live and interact with our physical and virtual world.
The more we know the better our policies will be. The cloudy thinking of poor judgement gives way to a more evidence based system of thinking. Critical thinking becomes part of the method of evaluating complex situations.
Whether one is an online university or a ground based university there will be an increasing need for science for industries, government policies, and just about every other facet of life. That doesn't mean we don't take chances and try new things but we accept that these are risks and could very well lead to new ways of doing things if researched and seen through a critical eye.
We talk sometimes about enlightened societies and science must be part of that society. That doesn't mean religion can't help us explain our world and understand things that we do not understand but that science is an important method of discovering the intelligent design around us. We know that science, innovation, and values can lead to better societies through incremental improvement and better decision making.
I suggest that universities do more to prepare students for a world of science and big data. With education people can further understand the esoteric nature of religion and science in the discovery of our place in this vast universe. We are not talking only industry but the advancement of the human species to something more capable of grasping the next space frontiers and reaching beyond the moon while still improving our lives here through stronger economic and ecological growth. National innovation comes from the many projects and studies that develop new insight and adaptations.

Video of Sea Lions on the Dock
Coastal people have become accustomed to sea lions and there is a way that leads to cohabitation. I guess coastal people enjoy and live off of the water so they know that protecting wild species and learning to find harmony with them is vitally important to the eco system's success.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Coronavirus Update -Police, Budget, Schools!- June 30, 2020
Governor Whitmer updates on schools and Cornavirus. What is important here is that people need to be diligent and wear their masks. Young people may not be the ones who get sick but they are the ones who become super spreaders because they are in contact with so many people. Be safe this weekend and enjoy the holidays. B-Partisan budget agreement was reached for dealing with Covid-19 costs. Discussion of exporting cooperation between the two different parties to develop stronger policies.
Policing is an important one here......
Some discussion on policing adjusting. Some of the standard stuff like choke-holds, no-knock, false 911 calls, credentialing, auditing agencies, and mental health adjustments. Of these strategies the retention of officers to live and work in the same area, auditing complaints, and false 911 complaints are important.
Some of these are pretty good. Good apples are officers that should be retained and supported. However, there are officers that circumvent the law and don't often take selfies and post it on Facebook when they do violate the law. Thus we can't just rely on high level data to remove them. The ability to protect complaints and audit information is important. I'm assuming that false 911 complaints are a hate crime means also false police reports in general.
In a case I'm familiar with the officer has a record, supported a false complaint, and allowed a woman to slip into a coma because of his bigotry and the influence of social networks. Yet...he had issues his whole life and ever since he was a child was struggling with certain issues that pushed him to continually seek attention from others and to adapt increasingly rude behaviors. Thus, recruiting and credentialing are important to finding stronger officers, helping poor officers adjust, and remove those who "don't get with the program".
Living and working in the same area helps to ensure that people become accountable to their communities and become part of it. If this means someone can accept a job and then move their within a certain time frame it may help with recruitment and offering opportunities for officers to gain additional experience. I will have to look when the actual plan is published.
We are trying to support our officers, hold accountable bad officers, and build a system that can self-reflect and adjust. Policing will become more effective and strong recruiting will occur when the community is involved and a positive brand image is created.
Big Data is still impacting how we understand and see these cases. The data helps us make more sense out of what is actually happening and will likely become part of a stronger evaluation of how to handle future pandemics. This is one of the first times we have so much data in one setting because technology can now track them in a way we were not able to do in the past. We are slowly coming to the understanding that the entire globe and world functions of certain natural laws and systems that can be understood, tracked, adjusted and projected when the right kind of information is collected.

Picture of the Sunset on Ocean Beach Coast
Ocean Beach offers some beautiful coast and lots of fun activities. It is known for surfing, tacos and its main street. Its a fun place to hang out and when I'm around I can bike there. People are a little more free spirited than in other places but that depends on what you see.
