| It's About Time |
Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and built 330 years ago, The Royal Observatory, home of Greenwich Mean Time and the Prime Meridian lines is one of the most important historic scientific sites in the world.
The Meridian is an imaginary line which runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. It runs through the main telescope at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, south-east London.
The point is known as Zero Longitude and it is the line from which all other lines of longitude are measured. 00° 00' 00""
Nuku'alofa -Where Time Begins
The International Date Line (IDL) is an imaginary line on Earth's surface defining the boundary between one day and the next.
The International Date Line is located halfway around the world from the prime meridian (0° longitude) or about 180° east (or west) of Greenwich, London, UK, the reference point of time zones.
The cognitive dissonance is sorted.

Along the famous college backs, you find one of the most beautiful views on the river Cam. I feast my eyes on this learning environment like some privileged old soul, under the protection of King Henry III ,with honorary enrollment under the tuition of a recognised master, allowed to remain in the town for as long as need-be to have that recognition, that "Ah huh or "eureka" monent. Ok I found it. Here it is:
I am reminded of how unnecessarily obsessed we are with testing and the record of achievement. The problem is that our educational system trains students to be "A" students—academics—or "B" students—bureaucrats working for the government. Our schools do not train our young people to be "C" students: capitalists or entrepeneurs.
Steve Jobs ( A college drop out, like Bill Gates) definition of grades "Money is life's report card" . He beat them all by studying things nobody ever did-like the caligraphy class Jobs took that inspired Mac Typeface.
The fact is that A students work for B and C Students, and the building are dedicated and endowed by D students. Nobody ever made history by following the rules.
If you read well, memorize well and test well... and not tbe one of those hippie creative thinkers, visionaries and dreamers –entrepreneurs-in-the-making, well, you know where this is going. "A's" are really E's"" Good Employees. The sales pitch from the schools is:
"You must finish school." "You must have a college degree."
"If you do not finish school, you will not be successful in your career."
Career comes from the 16th-century word for “road.”, a clear cut path with a final destination. Not only isnt this fin it is not available these days.it is more about gamifying the process and leveling up.  |
