Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom!

There is probably no segment of activity in the world attracting as much attention at present as that of knowledge management. Yet as I entered this arena of activity I quickly found there didn't seem to be a wealth of sources that seemed to make sense in terms of defining what knowledge actually was, and how was it differentiated from data, information, and wisdom. What follows is the current level of understanding I have been able to piece together regarding data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. I figured to understand one of them I had to understand all of them.
According to Russell Ackoff, a systems theorist and professor of organisational change, the content of the human mind can be classified into five categories:
  1. Data: symbols

  2. Information: data that are processed to be useful; provides answers to "who", "what", "where", and "when" questions

  3. Knowledge: application of data and information; answers "how" questions

  4. Understanding: appreciation of "why"

  5. Wisdom: evaluated understanding.
  Ackoff indicates that the first four categories relate to the past; they deal with what has been or what is known. Only the fifth category, wisdom, deals with the future because it incorporates vision and design. With wisdom, people can create the future rather than just grasp the present and past. But achieving wisdom isn't easy; people must move successively through the other categories.
A further elaboration of Ackoff's definitions follows:
Data... data is raw. It simply exists and has no significance beyond its existence (in and of itself). It can exist in any form, usable or not. It does not have meaning of itself. In computer parlance, a spreadsheet generally starts out by holding data.
Information... information is data that has been given meaning by way of relational connection. This "meaning" can be useful, but does not have to be. In computer parlance, a relational database makes information from the data stored within it.
Knowledge... knowledge is the appropriate collection of information, such that it's intent is to be useful. Knowledge is a deterministic process. When someone "memorizes" information (as less-aspiring test-bound students often do), then they have amassed knowledge.

Captain America: The First Avenger!

Captain America: The First Avenger is a 2011 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Captain America. It is the fifth installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film was directed by Joe Johnston, written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and stars Chris Evans, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, Neal McDonough, Derek Luke, and Stanley Tucci. The film tells the story of Steve Rogers, a sickly man from Brooklyn who is transformed into super soldier Captain America to aid in the war effort.Captain America must stop Red Skull, Adolf Hitler's ruthless head of weaponry, and the leader of a mysterious organization that intends to use a tesseract energy-source for world domination.
Captain America: The First Avenger began as a concept in 1997, and was scheduled to be distributed by Artisan Entertainment. However, a lawsuit, not settled until September 2003, disrupted the project. After Marvel Studios received a grant from Merrill Lynch, the project was set up at Paramount Pictures. Directors Jon Favreau and Louis Leterrier were interested in directing the project before Johnston was approached in 2008. The principal characters were cast between March and June 2010. Production of Captain America: The First Avenger began in June 2010, and filming took place in London, Manchester and Liverpool in the United Kingdom, and Los Angeles in the United States. The film was converted to 3D in post-production.
Captain America: The First Avenger premiered in Hollywood on July 19, 2011, and was released in the United States on July 22, 2011. The film became a critical and commercial success, grossing an estimated $352.6 million worldwide as of September 2011.

Ajali ya meli Zanzibar: Mamia wafariki!

Watu wasiopungua 187 wamekufa baada ya meli iliyokuwa imezidisha mizigo kuzama katika pwani ya kisiwa cha Zanzibar ikiwa na watu takriban 800.

Msemaji wa serikali amesema watu 620 walionusurika wameokolewa. Serikali imetangaza siku tatu za maombolezo.
Inadhaniwa kuwa meli hiyo ilizama baada ya injini yake kukosa nguvu.
Shughuli za uokoaji zilikwazwa kwa kuwa meli hiyo ilizama usiku.

meli iliyozama

Zaidi ya watu 100 bado hawajulikani walipo, lakini watu 325 walionusurika wameokolewa, kwa mujibu wa waziri wa masuala ya dharura wa Zanzibar.

Meli hiyo, MV Spice Islander ilikuwa ikisafiri kati ya Kisiwa kikuu cha Unguja kuelekea Pemba.

Meli hiyo ilikuwa ikirejesha watu baada ya kumalizika kwa mfungo wa Ramadhani.

Msaada
Mamlaka za huko zimezidiwa na tukio hilo na zimeomba msaada kutoka nje.

Serikali ya Zanzibar imeunda kituo cha uokoaji na kutoa wito kwa taasisi zote kusaidia katika shughuli za uokozi. Serikali hiyo pia imeomba msaada kutoka nchi nyingine za nje, kama vile Kenya na Afrika Kusini.

Walionusurika walichukuliwa na boti za kibinafsi na kupelekwa katika bandari ya Zanzibar, amekaririwa kamishna wa polisi wa Zanzibar Mussa Hamis.

Miili ya watu imekuwa ikisukumwa katika pwani ya Zanzibar na mawimbi. Mpaka sasa miili ya watu 100 wamepatikana, amesema mwandishi wa BBC Ali Saleh akiwa Zanzibar.

Maelfu ya ndugu na jamaa wanasubiri kusikia taarifa za ndugu zao ambao walikuwa ndani ya meli hiyo, anasema mwandishi wetu.

Mohhamed Aboud, waziri wa masuala ya dharura wa Zanzibar anasema watu 259 walionusurika wameokolewa lakini 40 kati yao wamejeruhiwa sana.

Boti yetu imechelewa kwa sababu wanatumia vyombo vyote vya baharini kuokoa watu "Catherine Purvis"
Catherine Purvis, mtalii kutoka Uingereza aliyepo Zanzibar, akisubiri boti ya kwenda Dar es Salaam amesema ameshuhudia miili ya watu wengi ikitolewa ndani ya maji.

Rubani mmoja wa helikopta Kapteni Neels van Eijk alipita juu ya eneo la tukio.

"Tuliona walionusurika wakiwa wameshikilia magodoro na majokofu au chochote kile kinachoweza kuelea. Ni vigumu kusema idadi kamili, lakini naweza kusema walikuwepo zaidi ya watu 200 walionusurika ndani ya maji na miili ya watu pia," ameiambia BBC.

"Wakati huo, kulikuwa na boti chache zilizofika katika eneo hilo. Walikuwa wakitafuta walionusurika, ingawa bahari haikuwa imechafuka sana, mawimbi walikuwa makubwa, kwa hiyo ilikuwa vugumu kuona walionusurika.

"Tulirusha ndege yetu na kuziongoza boti hadi kwa watu walionusurika ili waweze kuwachukua. Kulikuwa na miili kadhaa ndaniya maji."

Meli hiyo iliondoka Unguja takriban saa tatu usiku saa za Afrika Mashariki na inadhaniwa kuwa ilizama majira ya saa saba usiku.

Ilikuwa imebeba abiria wengi kiasi kwamba baadhi ya abiria waligoma kupanda, amekaririwa abiria mmoja aliyenusurika Abdullah daid, akizungumza na shirika la habari la AP.

TASWIRA YA YESU YAONEKANA MAWINGUNI HUKO REUNION



Taswira kama ya Yesu ilivyoonekana katika milima Kisiwa cha Reunion.
Mwonekano wa karibu wa kilichoonekana.
MUUJIZA wa kidini umeonekana kwenye milima mitakatifu ya Kisiwa cha Reunion ambapo mpiga picha wa video wa Ufaransa aitwaye Luc Perrot, aliunasa kwenye kamera yake ukionyesha taswira ya Yesu.

Kisiwa cha Reunion ni eneo la nje la Ufaransa na kiko Mashariki mwa Madagascar katika Bahari ya Hindi.

Mpiga picha huyo alikuwa eneo la juu la kilele cha mlima Cirque huko Mafate ambapo alinasa taswira ya mikono miwili iliyokuwa imenyooka kila upande kutoka katika mawingu yaliyokuwa angani.

Perrot hakuamini macho yake baada ya kuona hali hiyo, ambapo aligundua pia kwamba taswira hiyo ilikuwa pia imezungukwa na duara yenye nuru ambayo huzunguka vichwa vya watakafitu.

Mwonekano huo ulionaswa Julai 10 mwaka huu, bado haujaelezewa kisayansi chanzo chake.

“Nilikuwa nachukua picha za video katika mlima Cirque na baadaye nikaelekeza kamera yangu maeneo ya mbali angani,” alisema mpiga picha huyo na kuongeza kwamba baadaye akaona kivuli kikielea huku kikiwa kimezungukwa na upinde wa mvua, jambo ambalo lilimshangaza.

“Baadaye niliona mwanga mweupe wa nuru ukiwa umekizunguka kichwa cha taswira hiyo,” alisema

katika mahojiano.

Mwezi uliopita, mtu mmoja huko Canada alinasa wingu lililokuwa na taswira ya moja ya miungu wa Kirumi likipita eneo la uani mwake. Tukio hilo lilijiri kabla ya kunyesha mvua kubwa. Hata hivyo, jambo hilo limeelezewa kuwa ni “maajabu ya kawaida”.


Je, huo ni mwanga wa watakatifu au upinde wa mvua?
