Transcript:
These simple robotic cubes are the building blocks of intelligent systems
Cubelets are magnetic, electronic building blocks, each with a small computer inside, that can be connected in many different ways to move around a table, follow a hand signal, turn on a light, play sounds, or do many other creative tasks.
They were developed by Eric Schweikardt and Lin, M.L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14363822255845560771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995570056761408250.post-40978921592701158242014-05-22T16:34:00.000+08:002014-05-22T16:34:20.930+08:00Secret of the Equation P=M*V (C10 Speech)Amber Wang
Ladies and gentlemen, when talking about vulnerability, what ideas come to your mind: weakness, loser, shame or fear? I believe most people will associate the word “vulnerability” with negative meanings. We’re always shaped to be strong, especially in traditional Chinese culture. But in fact, the driving force to become truly strong lies in admitting and accepting your vulnerabilitiesLin, M.L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14363822255845560771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995570056761408250.post-92153267787138703742014-03-08T11:16:00.000+08:002014-03-08T11:16:14.574+08:00The Discovery Files: Babble On Research from the University of Washington and the University of Connecticut shows that what spurs early language development isn't so much the quantity of words a baby hears as the style of speech and social context in which speech occurs.

Life erupts once again from the once lifeless mountain
When Mount St. Helens blew its top in 1980, it wasn't a surprise that it happened, but even today the extent of the damage is hard to fathom. The eruption knocked down 100-foot trees like matchsticks and killed just about everything in its path. There have been several smaller eruptions since then, but nothing like what happened in 1980.
