Education for U.S. war veterans and Americans serving in the military
02/01/2013
A critical part of defence work is integrating people who have served in the military back into society, and access to education is one of the best ways to do this. Not only is this part of the compact between a society and its military, it is critical to how a society views itself. For a thoughtful society service ends and honor finds its rightful place in the classroom.

Patents issued and locations in the U.S. with a high degree of patent activity
02/01/2013
San Jose and Santa Clara come to mind. The other locations cited in a Brookings Institution study are not so obvious- Corvallis, Oregon with its IBM research centre, Boulder, Colorado, Burlington, Vermont, Rochester, Minnesota. Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the New York area, are prominent locations for startups but not cited here. Of great importance is having an excellent research university nearby.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
