Publisher’s Message
A
s a head of school and successful educator with over 30 years of experience, one of my greatest joys was feeling the renaissance of fall. In most places the leaves change, there will be new students and faculty members on campus for the first time, innovative programs would be enacted and the thrill of new things to come would rise as returning students arrived with their suitcases and parents in tow. Most other professionals don’t have this rebirth moment... we do! As ROR Magazine unveils our second-year fall edition, we have so much to be grateful. Our team has the chance to bring you writings that will enhance your personal and professional lives as you once again improve the lives of your students. We all have so much to be grateful for! So as we embark on our new fall adventure… let’s take stock in the blessings we have today, right in front of us. Not tomorrow but today, as that is really all that we can count on, and to appreciate those people in our lives. That said, as tactile human beings, we appreciate the human experience…hearing a laugh, seeing a smile, receiving an in-person compliment from another. One of the greatest human experiences between two people is a hug…a physical connection. Children do it naturally…they put their whole body into it. But as we grow older we become too reticent to really lean in to our hugs. About three years ago I was reminded of the importance of real hugs, not the weird, sideways “bro hugs” but a body to body embrace. I was at a conference walking from vendor to vendor and I was chatting with a gentleman. After a few words he said, “Can I give you a hug?” and I said: “Sure… I am from a big family; we hugged all the time.” So he gave me a great, full hug. Lonnie remains a friend of mine to this day. He is a multifaceted artist who is writing a column on art for our magazine, and he will be a collaborator on a new magazine project, Red Chalk, that exalts innovative artists across the world. Lastly, let’s also keep in mind that we desire to be loved, but specifically being told that we are loved. So next time you are with someone you love…look them in the eyes and say, “I love you.” The throw away line, “love ya” does not cut it. I am proud to say that my wife started our family culture of saying ‘I love you,’ hugging, and kissing each other throughout the day. To this day, our sons, 6’3” and 6’2,” will grab Nancy or me and give us a big hug and kiss as they tell us they love us…it is a legacy they will bring to their families as well. Again, thank you for being a part of the ROR Family as readers, contributors, and advertisers. We welcome your input on all levels that will make us an even more dynamic publication. On behalf of our team, we wish you safe travels throughout your life as you give hugs and love along the way!

As we observe the passing march of Time, it
is difficult to escape the feelings that once a war starts -- a war on a country, a war on a civil right, a war on a democracy, it just never seems to end. The work of the observer is to protest, educated, aspire, prepare, and propel towards the swing of the pendulum to the other side. To peace, to tolerance, to autonomy of nations, and to dissemination of everyone’s culture in a respectful manner, without coercion, discrimination and neglect. At the ROR Magazine, we do this work by inviting stories from the other side. American author Cindy recounts the history of the Wounded Knee Memorial Site, a place that was finally returned to the Native American tribes to whom it should have always belonged, after decades of struggle.

We place the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in perspective, by inviting Irish author David Brearty to related Ireland’s story since before and during the Queen’s time. He gives an admirably fair assessment of the history and the late Queen’s personal role in it. Similarly, Pakistani art writer Mehvish Aslam overviews historic objects that represent the heritage of the colonies of the British Empire. Every object is a lesson of colonial usurpation and subjugation of a foreign sovereign’s nation. It is our firm belief that celebration of the pinnacle of one culture cannot come at the cost of brushing aside of voices and faces who bore the brunt of that culture’s successes. We continue our custom of valuing the traditional with the novel and forward as always. Andrew Colquhoun from GMETAone elucidates with great clarity exactly how the metaverse, a special internet experience relying on tools creating virtual reality and augmented reality, will play a role in the future of education and work. The article proves a good complement to David Brearty’s piece on the post-pandemic trends in education. Our departments ROR Scoop and ROR Research Watch support Brearty’s writing with news and research findings from home and abroad showing how educational institutes around the world are integrating e-learning methodologies in traditional education systems.
Megan Pugliese writes rousingly on her gardening adventures this fall with an eye on the coming spring. Dr. Tutul enlightens us about the key principles and advantages of a keto diet, leaving us a wholesome weekly plan for good measure. We continue to celebrate diversity and universality in art and thought by including original artistic expressions from Pakistan, and craftful cartoon commentary from Venezuela and Algeria. Kim Pinnelli returns with a treasure trove of useful information for our patrons preparing to invest their savings in useful and meaningful ways. ROR Season captures the colors of autumn from around the world and even from space! There is so much to showcase and celebrate among the peoples and heritages of the world, that we remain in awe of what we are unable to cover each issue. The endeavor continues.
Rhodora O 6th November, 2022.

HOW CAN IT IMPACT EDUCATION? 122
123 by GMETA ONE HEAD OF DESIGN ANDREW COLQUHOUN Unless you have been living on a desert island for the past two years; you cannot have failed to notice the increasing buzz surrounding Web 3.0, NFT’s and the Metaverse. But getting past the hype: what will the reality be? What lasting impact will it have on our lives, our work and on the education of the next generation? For most people, the word “metaverse” came into our lives when Mark Zuckerberg placed Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp under the collective umbrella brand “Meta” in 2021 and started creating his vision of the metaverse. The reality is that many other visionary organizations had already been creating the foundations for the metaverse for many years.

The ideal image resolution is at least 1500 pixels or higher for every photo that will cover at least 8.5 x 5.5 inch area on the magazine page. Images pulled from the internet will be of poor quality and could have hidden copyright infringements for which we won’t be liable.
