Publisher’s Message

Dear ROR Magazine family, Happy Terrific Spring! More sun on all of our faces always brings a sense of hope and rejuvenation. My wife, Nancy and I, as well as the ROR staff, wish you an incredible new season! As communication becomes faster, informing all of us on the issues of the world, I believe that this allows us to truly understand we are far more alike than we are different. To that end, ROR Magazine continues to expand not only our subject matter but our audience. Initially, our focus was on the network of the admissions world but we have seen that with the broad scope of our articles and features, our brand not only touches the breadth of educators worldwide but also those who embrace the journey of knowledge from any perspective. Hence, moving forward our new title will be: ROR Magazine, Lifestyles of the Global Educationalist. Consequently, we are very excited to bring you our current edition under the new name. Using this new name, we hope to broaden our scope to include advocating for underserved populations around the world. It is our hope that we all seek to embrace each other despite all our differences so that we can not only appreciate but use each others’ strategies and skills to become more empowered as we continue to make the world a more cohesive community. I personally start with the premise that there is a unique genius in every human being. If tapped correctly, we can not only do great things in this world but enhance our genius by learning from others. Take for example someone who is blind… they have compensated by growing their other senses such as hearing, smell, and touch. If we take the time to understand their strategies we can become stronger. This too applies to someone who has lost an arm… how they compensate with their other limbs can give us other strategic insights for our own lives… they have shown us another approach to the world. Similarly, consider someone neurodiverse who experiences dyslexia. Suppose they find it difficult to read and comprehend easily. But they too, have developed strategies that we can learn from as they are able to comprehend and organize multiple ideas simultaneously. My brother, Mark, never learned to read until the age of 20, but he could construct model cars without reading the instructions. Later in life, he used that ability to visually construct pieces of puzzles in his head to design and build beautiful tiled bathrooms. Embracing diversity in all forms of humanity will make us better human beings throughout our lives. The richness of our differences is what we will continue to explore in ROR magazine. That said, we encourage all of you to please continue to submit your genius projects and articles for the benefit of our readers from around the world. As always I thank our advertisers and sponsors to allow us to bring unique insights from across all continents. May your days continue to be filled with gratitude and love as we all appreciate the gift of daily life.

15 time of the year comes with its own sequence of seasons, festivals, flavors, and cultural Every expressions. The onward march of the months reminds us of the cyclic nature of life and history!

Still, every march, flow, and stream, natural, metaphorical, or man-made, leaves the morass of wisdom gleaned painstakingly from the foliage of experience.

What we gain and lose depends as much on our tenacity through the ups and downs in life as on our ability to keep our sights on the fruits that lie ahead in the future. Everyone of us has a right to seek out our guilty pleasures, to reach for support, relaxation and things that keep us happy and help us feel content and relaxed. And yet, all of us are required to give up immediate leisure to grab the reins of tomorrow. We can’t only catch fruit to derive nutrients from its flesh. We also dig and save the seeds and sow them to grow a future out of them. This is what the age-old adage, “You can’t have a cake and eat it too,” means. The wish to keep only the immediate rewards in our sights will leave us unable to reap long-term advantages that can only be obtained through a patient, time-consuming sequence of plowing, sowing, watering, and harvesting at long last. In today’s tech-heavy climate, everything runs on immediate rewards. Point systems, gamer coins, reward credit, and so on. All of these are the glitter and paper stars in such heavy, twinkling intensity that the real stars far off in space can hardly be seen anymore. The challenge of today’s educator is to train the learners’ sights one more time on those far sights. The destinations that can only be conquered after weathering storms and whales, ships that break, and a crew that defaults. The lone captain must dig deep into the reserves of their own souls to find strength. Their hearts must beat unflustered in the face of gales and high tides. Their brains must be equipped in resolving conflict, solving problems, and figuring out what’s hurting their ship, without needing to depend on anyone else. Allies are allies only when the wisdom and foresight of the captain’s mind draw them in. Let us think about the new leaders we are preparing inside the walls of a classroom. How are we equipping them with the kind of tools that are timeless, no matter what the era and its problems? Are we empowering minority leaders inside and outside the classroom to have wisdom in taking everyone together with fortitude, confidence, and the right that’s written in the constitution for them? Are we augmenting the majority elders of our future in keeping open not just the borders of a country, a workplace, a classroom or a living room, but also the invisible barricades of subtle hate and in-group and out-group toxicity? Are we capitalizing on the wonders of nature, of science, of art, of philosophy, of culture to unify talents, skills, and leadership across the board on common goals of humanity’s conquest and achievement? Are we watering hearts, souls, and minds with enough tenderness and care for those whose responsibility befalls our adult lives? From the soil under our feet to the air round our heads, every breathing animate or inanimate particle of life on earth and beyond is waiting. Waiting for our gaze. Not to be conquered in the name of dominion, but to become our ally in the conquest of our Future.

MULTIVERSE, META VERSE OR 3D INTERNET FREEDOM

By Aaron Dishno Ed.D. FOUNDER AND CEO OF HTTP3D INC. – WALKTHEWEB

160


161 To the education world, I ask you, would the Internet have been a success if it had one owner or company that fully controlled the content, advertising, censorship, and the way we display information? I say no. The success and acceptance of the Internet come from the limitless boundaries with the lack of controls and censorship, namely, freedom. Then why would we hand something as important as creating the Multiverse or Metaverse to a single company?

If you watch the latest Marvel movies, the Multiverse is shown as another dimension or instance of what we know to be our existence, yet our alternate decisions ultimately lead to alternate realities. It is like taking our storyline and testing the possibilities where we make critical decisions. Google defines the Metaverse as, ”a virtual-reality space in which users can interact

with a computer-generated environment and other users.” Any web page can produce a 3D gaming experience, but in my opinion, it takes much more to be 3D Internet. I visualized 3D game scenes or Internet cities where 3D buildings, 3D games, and 3D shopping stores are loaded. They are unloaded, as you, the digital shoppers represented by avatars, walk near and then unloaded as you walk away.

Image Sources: Purchase and download high resolution photos from online stock photo sources and use them in your ad. Or, hire your own photographer for original, high-res photos. 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.

183 The following are certain terms and conditions governing advertising published by Schenck EnterTERMS & prises (“Publisher”) in the U.S. virtual edition of ROR Magazine (the “Magazine”). These terms and conditions may be revised by Publisher from time to time. CONDITIONS Submission of insertion order for placement of advertising in the Magazine, and/or delivery of advertising materials to Publisher for inclusion in the Magazine, constitutes acceptance of the following terms and conditions by both the advertiser (“Advertiser”) and any agency or other representative acting for or on behalf of Advertiser (“Agency”). No terms or conditions in any insertion orders, reservation orders, blanket contracts, instructions or documents that are submitted or maintained by Agency or Advertiser will be binding on Publisher, unless expressly authorized in a writing signed by a senior executive of Publisher. AGENCY COMMISSION AND PAYMENT 1. Publisher has sole discretion over payment terms for advertising. Publisher may change the payment terms from time to time and without limiting generality of the foregoing may require Advertiser to make payment in advance of the on-sale date of the relevant Magazine issue. 2. Agency and Advertiser are jointly and severally liable for the payment of all invoices arising from placement of advertising in the Magazine and for all costs of collection of late payment. 3. If an account is placed with a collection agency or attorney for collection, all commissions and discounts will be rescinded or become null and void and the full advertising rate shall apply. 4. Agency commission (or equivalent): fifteen percent (15%) of gross advertising space charges, payable only to recognized agents. Payments are due in full, upon receipt. All payments must be in United States currency. Any discounts received by Advertiser on ad space charges may not be applied to production charges. 5. Advertiser shall pay all international, federal, state and local taxes on the printing of advertising materials and on the sale of ad space. CANCELLATION AND CHANGES 1. Publisher expressly reserves the right to reject or cancel for any reason at any time any insertion order or advertisement without liability, even if previously acknowledged or accepted. In the event of cancellation for default in the payment of bills, charges for all advertising published as of the cancellation date shall become immediately due and payable. 2. The conditions of advertising in the Magazine are subject to change without notice. Publisher will announce ad rate changes thirty (30) days prior to the closing date of the issue in which the new rates take effect. Orders for subsequent issues will be accepted at the then-prevailing rates. PUBLISHER’S LIABILITY 1. Publisher is not liable for any failure or delay in printing, publishing, or circulating any copies of the issue of the Magazine in which advertising is placed that is caused by, or arising from, an act of God, accident, fire, pandemics, public health emergencies, failure of transportation, strike, acts of governments, terrorism, or other occurrence beyond Publisher’s control. 2. Publisher does not guarantee positioning of advertisements in the Magazine and is not liable for failure to meet positioning requirements. PUBLISHER WILL TREAT ALL POSITION STIPULATIONS ON INSERTION ORDERS AS REQUESTS. 1. The liability of Publisher for any act, error, omission or other matter for which it may be held legally responsible shall not exceed the cost of the ad space affected by the error. In no event shall Publisher be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, or incidental damages, including, but not limited to, lost income or profits. The foregoing limitations shall apply to the greatest extent permitted by law and regardless of the theory under which liability is asserted. MISCELLANEOUS 1. Agency and Advertiser jointly and severally represent and warrant that each advertisement submitted by it for publication in the Magazine, and all materials contained therein (collectively, the “Ad Materials”) including, but not limited to, Ad Materials for which Publisher has provided creative services, contains no copy, illustrations, photographs, text or other content or subject matter that violate any law, infringe any right of any party, and/or is libelous, defamatory, obscene, disparaging, racist, hateful or scandalous. As part of the consideration and to induce Publisher to publish such advertisement, Agency and Advertiser jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold harmless Publisher from and against any loss, liability, damages, fines, penalties, and related costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) arising from publication of such Ad Materials in any applicable editions, formats or derivations of the Magazine, including, but not limited to: (a) claims of invasion of privacy, violation of rights of privacy or publicity, trademark infringement, copyright infringement, libel, misrepresentation, false advertising, or any other claims against Publisher; or (b) the failure of such Ad Materials to be in compliance and conformity with any and all laws, orders, ordinances and statutes of the United States or any of the states or subdivisions thereof; or (c) any products, goods, services, programs, events, offers and promotions that are promoted by or referenced in the Ad Materials (and the fulfillment or non-fulfillment thereof). 2. Publisher may, in Publisher’s sole and exclusive discretion and without penalty to Publisher, reject and refuse to run any Ad Materials that Publisher believes: (a) do or may violate Agency’s and Advertiser’s representations and warranties set forth above; (b) are reasonably likely to be considered objectionable by a reasonable person; and/or (c) are likely to expose Publisher, Agency and/or Advertiser to heightened legal or reputational liability or risk for any reason. 3. As part of the consideration and to induce Publisher to provide such services, Agency and Advertiser jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold harmless Publisher from and against any Losses arising from such materials, products or services, including, but not limited to, those arising from any such claims. 4. Publisher’s acceptance of an advertisement for publication in the Magazine does not constitute an endorsement of the product or service advertised. No Advertiser or Agency may use the Magazine’s name or logo without Publisher’s prior written permission for each such use. 5. The word “advertisement” will be placed above all advertisements that, in Publisher’s opinion, resemble editorial matter. 6. All terms and conditions of this Rate Card and associated insertion orders, including but not limited to pricing information, shall be the confidential information of Publisher, and neither Agency nor Advertiser may disclose any such information without obtaining Publisher’s prior written consent. 7. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. Any civil action or proceeding arising out of or related to this agreement shall be brought in the courts of record of the State of California. Advertiser and Agency each hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such civil action or proceeding in such courts. ALL PARTIES WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY. ADDITIONAL COPY AND CONTRACT REGULATIONS 1. Orders and schedules are accepted for the advertising by brand of product or service only and may not be re-assigned to other products or services or to affiliated companies without the consent of Publisher.
