Smart Materials May Pave Way For Robots That Decompose Like The Human Body

Robot from the Italian Institute of Technology

We've known for quite some time that robots are able to function like a human being, but they are unable to decompose like one. However. Italian scientists were able to produce "smart materials" that could potentially pave the way for robots to decompose just like human beings. The robot, like ourselves, would begin to decay as it reaches the end of its life span. Although this seems like a plan that could work, some scientists are worried that the materials may be hard to use and won't cooperate correctly with the internal parts of the robot.

Screenless Displays

new technologies

Screenless Displays have come a long way in the last two years. We should all be expecting to see them in the near future. Holograms will no longer be part of science fiction! Contact lenses that project images are also in the works. This will give individuals the ability to see the world more clearer, without the need of laser eye surgery.

Blog- Post Assessment


Segovia Restaurant 







One has never tried a delicious cuisine until they've paid a visit to Segovia Restaurant. This fine place to indulge is located in both Moonachie and Little Ferry. Segovia is a seafood and steakhouse restaurant that offers customers a range of different dishes. Therefore, people are able to explore our cuisine and never become tired of the same food. I enjoy the Pollo Ajillo immensely!

Segovia is made up of a harmonious ensemble of buildings that date to the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This famous city is known for their cuisine. Fortunately, we are able to have a taste of what Segovia has to offer!  Family owned and operated for more than three decades,  it is the restaurant’s commitment to remain true to the spirit and culture that has earned them a place in the hearts of, including myself, very loyal customers.



 
I insist that everyone pay a visit to Segovia! I couldn’t ask for better service and a kinder staff. The workers show such devotion in their job, which I greatly admire. Their wide variety of dishes allow one to explore different foods. One’s taste buds will never grow dull!

Hackers threaten to bring down Xbox and PlayStation networks on Christmas



The hacker group, known as the "Phantom Squad", have been tweeting about their plans to take down the PlayStationNetwork and XboxLive. What motivated them to take down PlayStation and Xbox was to prove that Microsoft and Sony don't pay enough heed towards cyber security. CNNMoney attempted to reach out to the "Phantom Squad" but they did not re-sieve a response. This is not the only time PlayStationNetwork have been bombarded with such claims.

Do Now: Writing Prompt (cloak)

   If I were to be chosen to wear an invisible cloak for one day to perform a good deed, I would eavesdrop on potential criminals to see what they're converting or planning. Once I've gathered enough information, I would inform the police department. Majority of the time, police officers aren't able to gather such an excessive amount of information without being caught. However, with the invisible cloak, one would not have worry on such a matter. This could potentially save the lives of many, depending on how dark or sinister the criminal's plans are. 
   If given the opportunity, I would also enjoy assisting those who are being physically abused. It saddens me how physical abuse continues to grow each day. Hence as to why this trail must come to an end! With the invisible cloak, I could give these cruel monsters a piece of my mind! And who will believe them when they say and invisible force attacked them? It is important for these sinister beings to acknowledge the pain that they're afflicting onto others. What better way than to feed these creatures the taste of their own medicine, right?

Writing Prompt (new class)

    If I were a teacher, I would instruct a self-defense class. Self-Defense is crucial to one’s safety! This class allows one to defend themselves from the physical abuse of others. Whether it's in the streets, at home, or even on school grounds, self-defense is needed. Without it, one may not be able to protect themselves from unstoppable forces.
  The class will meet after school and are expected to behave in decorum. Fooling around and obstreperous behavior will not be permitted! Students will be provided with work out gear and other instruments needed for the class. We will go over simple techniques on how to approach and act in such a situation. However, as the school year ensues, the class will become more difficult. Over the course of the year, progression in the students will show by the increase in self-esteem, motivation, and coordination.
