Adora Svitak: What adults can learn from kids | Video on TED.com - 0 views

  •  
    the part that stood out for me the most is when she said "children are better than adults, because children just imagine all they want, while adults put limitations on the real world." In my point of view, this is just plain bull crap. True, older people put limitation on what they think, but that's because they know better. We all know that mass-producing transformer is nothing but a child's creative imagination, and does it make children better than adults by thinking that? I don't think so.

    this page is showing the improvement of farming in Africa. It has improved a lot from 2009 to 2010. And is expected to improve even more in 2011. This is definitely a good sign of people trying to achieve food security. especially in a place like Africa.

agricultural technology - future of agriculture - innovations in agriculture - 0 views

  •  
    Farmers have seen profound changes in agriculture in the past 10 years, but revolutionary technology is just on the horizon. This is a interesting article about how the technology of farming have changed in the past 10 years, and how it is likely to develop in the next 10 years. With the more advanced technology, more food can be produced, this can definitely help food security. Although in "sucky" places like Africa, the people are very unlikely to gain that kind of technology even if it is developed...

WNYC - News - NYC Murder Rate Reaches Record Low - 0 views

    this article, like all other articles, is saying that the crime rate in NYC has decreasing to a new record. While this is true, the crime rate in NYC is still insanely high comparing to other places.I find it funny that some certain big guy sees this as a great achievement. While he is celebrating for himself, 400 people is dying in each year. FAIL

New York City Murder Rate at All-time Low - 0 views

  •  
    this article shows that murder rate in NYC is decreasing. But the number of people who got murdered in a year is still insanely high. It's true that the crime decreased some in the past decade, but NYC is still far from what one will call "safe".

Mapping Main Street » A Collaborative Documentary Media Project - 2 views

    I like steam buns and i eat them a lot. And i know how to make those step by step. Back in China my grandmother often made steam buns in the house, i watched and remembered most of the steps. I haven't actually made any.\n\n In here there are frozen steam buns available in supermarkets and all you have to do is warming them up in your microwave oven. But the taste is different. In here the steam buns are either small, too oily, or very large with only vegetables inside.\n\n Man this sucks. I miss a lot of things in China. So yea, the video reminds me of a lot of things. And they didn't make the steam buns in the right way. It also reminds me of my grandparents, whom i have grown up with until four years ago. I kind of miss them.\n

How to plan for further studies? - 0 views

  •  
    I was searching about future actions i could take and this passage came to my view. "University selection is the most important aspect of the application process and this should be done after a lot of thought and research and should not merely be based on a "brand". Select a university that will encourage your intellectual journey. Of course, geographical location, size, type of institution, faculty and costs also need to be taken in consideration. Also try and chose a university which has a lot of international students, as this way you will get to associate with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Make sure you apply to at least 3 universities of your choice so that you always have fallback options. Your selected institutions should be well spread in terms of level - some ambitious, some regular and some safety nets. " This passage is basically telling us how to choose your ideal college and what action should you take regarding this. I think this passage is quite helpful. Because i don't know about these things before and i now know those things so i know what to do. After seeing the whole thing, i started to have more confidence toward college.
