Who Controls America?
George Carlin gives his thoughts about how the system works in America.
"Maybe" this is also true for other countries?
Does the world have owners? Are the system under their control? Are we just puppets?
Welcome to the Machine!

The Humanization of Tecnology in School - Salman Khan
Education and its approaches for a new system are a constant in our world, but some schools and governments are stubborn and keep thinking with a Eighteen Century Head.
Technology is already a part of our Education System; however, it is important to humanize it, as it is explained by Salman Khan during the TED lecture.
Really good idea developed by Mr. Salman, which breaks the old education format and recreates by giving the teacher the power of tutoring and not just preaching over the students as if the students are a herd.
Of course, under this method teachers need to understand their students, they must see where the problem is and try to fix it, a little bit more harder than just throw words to the crowd and expect the students pick them up (and for those who are not able, they are the problem).
Enjoy it.

Condolence - NYC is mourning! Gray's Papay is gone!
New York waked mourning up 2 weeks ago. Some of its colors simply disappeared. As LCD Soundsystem predicted, New York I Love You but you are bringing me down (...) when you are shutting your stores...
Papaya's Dog shut down its doors due to problems with its landlord of its location @ 37th Street.
It is worth to remember that the store at 37/8 was it most famous one(!).
Sad...
According to NY Eater, which talked to a worker in the West Village location, "it was a rent issue and that it doesn't make sense to continue with a landlord who's charging more than anyone else in the area. They plan to reopen soon in one of three possible new Midtown locations."
Let's hope and pray. In the meanwhile I will need to find another place to make a drunk pit stop between a bar/club and my apartment.
ps - the other two locations of Gray's Papaya are still open!!
