QR codes, short for Quick Response codes, are two-dimensional barcodes initially designed for the automotive industry in Japan. These codes have since found wide-ranging applications in various fields including advertising, product tracking, and digital payments, thanks to their ability to store a substantial amount of data. When scanned using a smartphone or a dedicated QR code scanner, the encoded information (which can be text, a website URL, or other data) is quickly accessed and displayed.

Enrollment and Retention

Higher education is constantly evolving, with new trends emerging each year. In recent years, two trends have been particularly prominent: community colleges and 4-year private institutions. Community colleges have become increasingly popular as more students seek out affordable options for higher education. These institutions offer two-year degrees and certificate programs, which can lead to well-paying jobs in industries such as healthcare, technology, and business. On the other hand, 4-year private institutions have seen a decline in enrollment in recent years, as students are increasingly concerned with the high cost of tuition and student loan debt. As a result, many private institutions have responded by increasing financial aid packages, offering online degree programs, and investing in student support services. However, it is important to note that these trends are always evolving and may change in response to economic and societal factors.

Happy birthday and Happy Pi Day

Today is always a special day for me. One of the most influential people in my life gets to celebrate their birthday today and the day that everyone else get to enjoy complete guilt free pie. 🥧 As for the birthday person, I am ways wishing them the very best and hope that they take the opportunity to enjoy the day with pie, red vines, jelly beans, jack in the box, taco bell, a good martini or what ever they fancy.
