The dolls start talking when touched on intimate parts of their body to give children the language to speak up in their own defense. They are distributed to children and used in schools and youth groups with the aim of tackling violence against children by educating from a young age. This program is supported by Amnesty International. www.codigo.pe/publicidad/kausa-y-amnistia-presentan-los-munecos-antiabuso/
Just saw this mother walking quickly with her toddler in Sydney. Her son was enjoying keeping up with her on a small scooter. She said she was from the Ukraine and I wished these scooters were around when my kids were young.
ON Prime is a CSIRO program designed to create connections between research, science and business to develop big sci-tech ideas. More than 160 researchers from across Australia have been selected for ON Prime in teams. These teams will be helped to validate their science and technology ideas in the lab as well as to commercialise them. They will commence an eight-week program in one of five ON Prime 'hubs' across the country this week, supported by funds provided through the National Innovation and Science Agenda. I'm honored to be chosen as a mentor for the BiomarX team which has identified a new non-invasive diagnostic test that can detect the presence of endometrial cancer. http://www.csiro.au/en/News/News-releases/2016/Big-sci-tech-ideas-to-go-from-lab-to-mark
Nike's automatic electronic self-lacing shoe is due to be on the market before Christmas. The company is calling the technology ?adaptive fit,? and the sneaker is the HyperAdapt 1.0?each shoe has a sensor, battery, motor, and cable system that adjusts fit based on an algorithmic pressure equation. When a foot is inserted, the shoe tightens automatically until it senses friction points.
Instead of punishing disruptive kids or sending them to the principal's office, this school has created the Mindful Moment Room which looks nothing like a detention room. It's filled with lamps, decorations, and plush purple pillows. Misbehaving kids are encouraged to sit in the room and go through practices like breathing or meditation, helping them calm down. They're also asked to talk about what happened and it's getting great results. http://www.upworthy.com/this-school-replaced-detention-with-meditation-the-results-are-stunning?c=ufb1
