Noodle Making Robot

This robot, created by the restaurateur Cui Runguan, is designed to slice cuts of noodles from large pastry blocks. It is designed to be as efficient as a person but as a lower cost. It works like windshield wipers, slicing up and down to grade the block and drop the fresh noodles into boiling water. It is thought to soon replace noodle cooks in restaurants and factories alike. It is not only cheaper and more efficiently than a person but is a crowd pleaser as well. It sells for two thousand US dollars with three thousand units sold.

Twitter

For Twitter and education, it is probably best used as a place to group view and store info. The class can have a Twitter accoount and people can view and tweet assignments all on one place. Instead of having 20 individual blogs to check under a hashtag you can see all the assighnments at once and see how they stack up together. It is much easier to see who did the work when they are all together to compare. People are also more familiar with it and will naught have to be taught how to use it either

We all know the world isn't perfect and people are quick to point out the flaws. It's easy with all the war, hunger, crime and injustices that go on everyday. Everyone says they want it different but noone seems to want to take any action towards it. We can all help by running with the mainstream methods like donating time and money but some for some things it is necessary to act outside the box. Look at Gandhi, to which these words belong. He didn't like what was going on around him and instead of complaining he led a large spread protest so his thoughts could become actions. If you want real change you must go beyond the norm and get your hands dirty in real problems. This is summed up in another quote by Gandhi, "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."
