Based on the 'Ten Essentials', this disaster resilience scorecard identifies risk and provides a basis for future investments.
IBM and AECOM have developed the Disaster Resilience Scorecard for the United Nations Making Cities Resilient Campaign, to be available free to any city to enable it to assess its resilience to natural hazards. While some hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis have always been present, others such as floods, hurricanes, tornados or heat events are expected to increase in frequency and severity due to the changing climate. With growing populations and urbanization putting more lives and economic activity in harm’s way, it is imperative that the world’s cities learn to understand and manage the risks that they face. The scorecard provides a mechanism to measure a city’s progress in this activity and allow the city to develop a prioritized list of actions to be taken to improve resilience. This document answers frequently asked questions.
Robustness and Resilience of Cities Around the Worldvipyoung
The concept of city or urban resilience has emerged as one of the key challenges for the next decades. As a consequence, institutions like the United Nations or Rockefeller Foundation have embraced initiatives that increase or improve it. These efforts translate into funded programs both for action “on the ground” and to develop quantification of resilience, under the for of an index.
Ironically, on the academic side there is no clear consensus regarding how resilience should be quantified, or what it exactly refers to in the urban context. Here we attempt to link both extremes providing an example of how to exploit large, publicly available, worldwide urban datasets, to produce objective insight into one of the possible dimensions of urban resilience. We do so via well-established methods in complexity science, such as percolation theory –which has a long tradition at providing valuable information on the vulnerability in complex systems. Our findings uncover large differences among studied cities, both regarding their infrastructural fragility and the imbalances in the distribution of critical services.

Building Climate Change Resilience in Cities - The Private Sector's Role (Exe...The Rockefeller Foundation
In August and September 2014, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) queried 248 executives at companies around the world about the role of business in building urban climate resilience. Slightly more than half are from organisations with significant operations or markets in Asia. Most (more than 85%) are members of the C-suite and the rest are heads of departments or business units or managers.
Building Community Resilience: From the Ground Uprowemw
Presented at a public lecture in Vancouver, July, 2013, sponsored by Bing Thom Architects, as part of a larger resilience convening organized with the UBC Sauder School of Business, and One Earth.
In his UX Riga 2017 conference talk, Agnis Stibe is sharing his vision how people could acquire healthy and sustainable everyday routines through persuasive urban interventions.
The City Resilience Framework is a unique framework developed by Arup with support from the Rockefeller Foundation, based on extensive research in cities. It provides a lens to understand the complexity of cities and the drivers that contribute to their resilience. Looking at these drivers can help cities to assess the extent of their resilience, to identify critical areas of weakness, and to identify actions and programs to improve the city’s resilience.
Shocks and stresses are growing in frequency, impact and scale, with the ability to ripple across systems
and geographies. But cities are largely unprepared to respond, withstand, and rebound when disaster
strikes. The greatest burden of these increasing shocks, such as the impacts of climate change or public
health threats, often falls on poor and vulnerable people who have limited resources to cope with disaster
and who take longer to recover from it, disrupting livelihoods and increasing inequality.
Cloud based Smart City hubs are an attractive approach to addressing some of the complex issues faced when deploying PaaS infrastructure for Smart Cities. In this paper we introduce the general notion of IoT hubs and then discusses our work to generalize our IoT hub as a Smart City PaaS. Two key issues are identified, support for hybrid public/private cloud and interoperability. We briefly describe our approach to these issues and discuss our experiences deploying two cloud-based Smart City hubs, one in the UK and the other in Canada.

In an increasingly fast-changing and interconnected world, fostering resilience to withstand unexpected shocks is becoming more important. The effects of the financial crisis in 2008 still linger today. More recently, natural disasters of historic proportions in Asia and the re-emergence of geopolitical turmoil in Eastern Europe and the Middle East highlight the need for more resilient societies. Building more robust and resilient cities is key, and was the subject of The Economist Events’ Urban Resilience Summit held in Singapore on December 3rd.

Cisco @ Conference Board of Canada: Connecting Education with the 21st centuryMarc Lijour, OCT, BSc, MBA
Education and Innovation are top investments areas for strategic country leaders and economists. The industry is starving for these top talents that will increase productivity and sharpen a competitive edge. What should education look like in order to achieve these goals? Education has been adapting slowly over decades and centuries, without radically challenging its paradigm, centered mostly on content knowledge. Meanwhile, technological innovations have fundamentally disrupted how we work, live, play, and learn. We enjoy longer and more rewarding lives, including more opportunities to make a difference in our economy and our society. As the world needs more talents, educators are increasingly called to lead and to innovate. What would education look like if we (re)invented it today?

IoT is everywhere, from smart meters on houses to parking sensors in the ground – all devices are connected to the Internet. Internet engineers are helping traditional industries solve new industrial world challenges by connecting billions of new devices. An exciting part of the IoT journey is the integration between both worlds: Information Technology (IT) and Operation Technology (OT). For that a systems approach is required to scale the existing Internet infrastructure to accommodate IoT use cases, while making IT technology easy to adopt for OT operators.
In this session you will learn:
IoT infrastructure challenges and the need for open standards and partner ecosystem
Key elements to build large-scale IoT systems as IPv6, access control, plug and play, distributed intelligence and contextual awareness
Introduction to fog computing and advantages of extending cloud computing and services
Looking ahead to the future
Facilities, schools, buildings, are primary teaching and learning tools. Too often we take them for granted. What do the schools of the future look like? High performance facilities save millions in maintenance and energy, while providing a superior learning environment that engages and stimulates students. Facilities managers, educators, and industry are called to co-create sustainable learning environments: sustainable financially and from a learning perspective.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
when will pi network coin be available on crypto exchange.DOT TECH
There is no set date for when Pi coins will enter the market.
However, the developers are working hard to get them released as soon as possible.
Once they are available, users will be able to exchange other cryptocurrencies for Pi coins on designated exchanges.
But for now the only way to sell your pi coins is through verified pi vendor.
Here is the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor

How to get verified on Coinbase Account?_.docxBuy bitget
t's important to note that buying verified Coinbase accounts is not recommended and may violate Coinbase's terms of service. Instead of searching to "buy verified Coinbase accounts," follow the proper steps to verify your own account to ensure compliance and security.
What website can I sell pi coins securely.DOT TECH
Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell to these crypto whales and holders of pi..
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.
How can I sell my pi coins?
Selling pi coins is really easy, but first you need to migrate to mainnet wallet before you can do that. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.
Even tho Pi network is not listed on any exchange yet.
Buying/Selling or investing in pi network coins is highly possible through the help of vendors. You can buy from vendors[ buy directly from the pi network miners and resell it]. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal vendor.
@Pi_vendor_247
how can i use my minded pi coins I need some funds.DOT TECH
If you are interested in selling your pi coins, i have a verified pi merchant, who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges looking forward to hold till mainnet launch.
Because the core team has announced that pi network will not be doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges like huobi, bitmart and hotbit can get pi is by buying from miners.
Now a merchant stands in between these exchanges and the miners. As a link to make transactions smooth. Because right now in the enclosed mainnet you can't sell pi coins your self. You need the help of a merchant,

We’ve identified six building blocks.
A flood devastated a village in rural india.
We teamed up to commit resources (human and monetary) and technology.
Over 3 years time, we built a healthcare center (interesting as it looks like a shack in the middle of the woods), so people could have access to healthcare remotely.
We built 4 networked skills and classes take place. 3 times a week students receive classroom training.
Now obviously a teacher in class Is better but no teachers want to live in a village in india…so this is a great option.
We also rebuilt houses – a village – in –a box approach.
Now this has become a business that we call Inclusive Growth – it’s replicable, it’s really getting traction because it’s meeting society’s needs.
Slide 9: It’s Just the Beginning
We’re at the end of the beginning. Digitization is in full swing.
Imagine the last traffic jam – where smarter cars keep traffic moving and the roads always flow
The last checkout line – where mobile applications keep lines short and customers happy
The last product recall – where remote teams can respond in real time to fix manufacturing problems in all products before they occur.
All of these things will be possible through a fully connected world.
