The cool air of the midnight began to feel hot on her cheeks, her head heavy like an iron ball, and the millions of stars beaming above were beginning to circulate it.

Ombra looked at the doctor next to her, Andrius, dressed all in black. His drunken, violet eyes stole her heart in an instant, and as he gave her a half smile with a slight tilt of his head, Ombra felt like a fire was just ignited in her chest. She couldn’t wait any longer.

Ombra stepped forward, and slowly led this drunk man towards the wall. She cupped his rosy cheeks in her palms.

“You’ve been keeping me waiting, sir.” She shifted her gaze to his lips. “A doctor should tend to his patients, hm?” She closed the little distance between them, and her lips met his.

#hehehehehe #ombra the ironhead #andrius nils #ask #thanks for asking!

Child Varian: Uh, Andi?

Andrius: Yes, Fox?

Child Varian: What's the short, three leaved plant called?

Andrius: Poison Ivy. Why?

Child Varian:....Will it kill you if you eat it?

Andrius, now getting suspicious of her: No. But again I ask: Why?

*Child Varian is now refusing eye contact*

Andrius: Varian, tell me why this instant!

Child Varian, quietly: I ate some

Andrius, now panicked: You ATE some?!

@scentedcandleibex The bullshit Varian has put him through in her youth

in May 2018, I was lucky to be part of a great gathering called CAMP Geneva in the centre d’art contemporain Geneve under the artistic direction of Andrea Bellini. In this context I could show my work “Manualis in Vacuo” again with a new crew. Hopefully a video documention is following soon.

Big thanks to my friend and colleague Julian Weber who invited me to be part of it alongside those 17 wonderful artists :

BitDegree Review | Revolutionizing Education With Blockchain

New Post has been published on https://techexpandable.com/bitdegree-review-and-analysis/

BitDegree Review | Revolutionizing Education With Blockchain

Education System! Well, you are extensively aware of the current education system in India. Let’s have a glance at what we have been taught during various stages of education.

1. Primary Education [7 Years]

Environment, Basics of Maths(DMAS), Languages(SL)

2. Secondary Education [3 Years]

Mathematics(trigonometry,geometry etc.), Science, Languages(SL)

3. Higher Secondary Education [2 Years]

Advance Mathematics(Integration, Differentiation etc.), Chemistry, Physics, Biology

4. Graduation [Bachelor Degree- 4/5 Years]

Core subjects related to the field of graduation. Memorize + Pass…. (I really don’t know what i have been taught in spite of doing graduation.

5. Post Graduation [2/3 Years]

Advanced subjects exploring your particular filed only. Again Memorize + Pass…

Conventional Education Model

In India, if you are going to complete these five stages of education, you are going to become either doctor or engineer(or a family disappointment ;)) Under this era of education, we all are going to be explained similar things that have been there since 50-60 years. Understanding nature of all students will not be similar, right? Then why would we be expected to learn what we don’t want to? And we end up with wandering having the resume in our one hand and hope in another one. You seem offensive! Just follow me at least till next real example.

We will be studying Database Management, Computer languages such as C, C++, HTML, CSS, Java, PHP, Data Mining and a lot more in Computer Science Engineering. But what about On-Page SEO, Off-Page SEO, WordPress, Woocommerce, WP Customization, SMO, Adwords etc. which are the actual requirement of recruiting companies. And as a result, when a particular student is supposed to write CSS code for just adding a responsive button or adding/removing specific area within site, he will be confused and this is the fact. Under this course, we are not supposed to learn how to create a website even in wordpress. At the end of the course, we will be having theoretical knowledge of multiple languages aka coding without practical skills. Multinational companies want the best employees having real practical skills and here we are memorizing traditional languages. As a result, there exists a gap between educated labor supply and demand driven by business.

The Internet has enabled us to reach the universal knowledge pool, to interact directly and informally with the greatest minds of our age. However, the entire global education system has become frozen, using centuries-old methods that are virtually ineffective. It is not a surprise to anyone that higher education institutions are failing to fulfill their mission to transfer know-how and let students develop practical skills that are necessary to guarantee successful employment. The current education model faces many problems such as:

Extortionate

Missing innovation

Lack of ambition to become entrepreneur

Parochialism rather than global outlook

Uninspired and untalented educators

As a part of the solution to this conventional education, Coursera, Udemy, Skillshare, HackerRank etc. offered a centralized platform for tutors and students where any student with his/her area of interest can learn that particular skillset with the help of various categorized courses provided by tutors on these platforms. And Boom! this online education business is now worth around 1 billion. But as the world is now moving towards decentralized platform using blockchain technology, these online education platforms should have to be decentralized. A complete solution to this traditional education system and to decrease labor supply and demand gap, Bitdegree is developing online education platform powered by blockchain. BitDegree review and analysis, in brief, is described below:

What is BitDegree?

BitDegree Education Model

BitDegree is world’s first decentralized education platform powered by blockchain with token scholarships and tech talent acquisition. The bitdegree platform will offer students the best online courses with a clear and transparent blockchain based reward system and achievement tracking. It is also a unique tool for businesses to recruit tech talent and shape global education to their needs. Think of it as Coursera and HackerRank merged together, powered by the decentralized blockchain technology. For better understanding, give your few minutes to attached video.

How Does BitDegree Work?

BitDegree is proposing a digital incentivized studying platform as a new tool to grow the global tech talent. It is the simple 3-step process as explained below:

1] Companies in need of tech talent will provide financial incentives to students willing to participate in training courses and to develop their skills.

2] People/Students looking for new opportunities will learn new technologies, develop practical skills in demand, and get familiar with existing technological solutions provided by solution providers. Students will be able to communicate with other students and course mentors, to pose questions, and seek for more detailed explanations.

3] Companies providing incentives will be able to get in touch with students enrolled in subsidized courses, and possibly offer employment positions for good performers.

In addition to this, each student showing learning progress will rewarded and get a scholarship in bitdegree tokens. The BitDegree platform will register progress of each student and will provide ways the students can prove they overcome the challenge of developing and applying skills to solve problems. BitDegree will rely on Ethereum Smart Contract to enable incentives scheme and to store a transparent record of all achievements made by students.

A smart incentive system is an Ethereum-based smart contract that provides the exchange of values (tokens) between the promoter (sponsor) and the recipient of the promotion (student).

Benefits of BitDegree Platform

Version 1 of the BitDegree platform will provide solutions to most of the problems we seek to solve:

It will match business and student incentives;

It will allow businesses to familiarize students with their offerings;

It will enable opportunistic, continuous learning for people striving to gain new desired skills and knowledge;

It will lower costs of sharing the knowledge and assessing knowledge/skills;

It will help motivate students to continue with their study efforts and will provide incentives to those progressing forward.

BitDegree Review & Analysis

For the Mina asks, could I maybe get some headcannons of her, Megan, Andrius, and Iris?

Andrius: Let's be honest he'd spoil her. She'd have this man wrapped around her little finger the same way that her mother did. I actually envision her teen self to be a healer, and who better to learn from than her talented uncle? I can also see these two having tea parties together as Andi tells her about his travels

Megan: Definitely a big sister/little sister vibe from these two. Mina would be so excited to see her whenever Megan comes to visit. She'd love to hear all about Outworld and Megan's "pretty princess" (aka Kitana). Oh and Mina would gift her "Good luck" plushies whenever she heads back to Outworld

Iris: Varian would encourage Mina to pray to her whenever she feels lost. When Mina gets the chance to actually meet her, she'd be over the moon asking a bunch of questions. She'd be fascinated by Iris and her powers and would want to learn them (even though she cant). And who knows, maybe one Mina will offer to serve her. But there's no guarantee that Iris will say yes
