I stopped at my bank last week to deposit a check. I could have used the

ATM, but I am so glad that I didn't because if I had, I probably would not

have met Harold.

There were 3 or 4 people ahead of me in the line-up, so I amused myself by

watching TV, just waiting my turn. Moments passed. Then, directly in front of

me, a tiny elder woman, who was now first in line, started toward one of the

counters. But the customer before her didn't finish, so she had to step back.

Her backward movement caused my attention to be drawn to the customer directly

ahead of us. As he was facing the counter, I could see only his white hair and

the bright red team jacket. I heard him say to the teller in a deep, strong

voice...

next week!

The impatient woman again made her move, heading for the counter. As she

passed him, Harold looked up, directly at me, saying,

sir.

generosity that filled it that I blurted out

reaching out to shake his hand, out even realizing that he was walking with a

walking stick. He switched it to his left hand and took my hand in his warm

and firm grip.

to the next person in line and said,

I was so overcome by his innocent and sincere gift! He was like a 4-year-old,

who walked up to everyone, inviting them to play with him. I wondered to

myself afterwards. How was he attained this state of grace? Imagine the warm

feeling he leaves behind his as he sails through this world, touching people

for just a moment. He dropped a stone into the peaceful ocean of my reality

so unselfishly pass on to me, that in attempt to pass on to you

Kanda really doesn't like to walk alone. The scientist from a research

institute of intelligent robots finds the experience so boring that he'd

rather drive

Kanda said.

So Kanda, who specializes in human-like bots, developed a robotic walking

partner that could make small talk based on its surroundings, which, he hopes,

might motivate people to get out and exercise more. The bot rests on a

person's shoulder like a boxy parrot. It weighs about a pound and a half and

sits roughly 8.5 inches high, 3.5inches wide, and 10 inches long. A microphone,

speaker, and internal camera allow it to communicate. It's even equipped with

a smile.

Kanda and his team collected video form five different locations, including a

garden and a shopping mall, and created a dataset of small talk topics related

to each location. Then they programmed the robot to associate visual cues with

specific topics. A special speech software provided the robot with a voice.

Near a group of parked cars, for example, it might say,

sometimes I forget where I parked.

They tested the robot on 15 volunteers, 10 males and 5 females, who were paid

and averaged about 26 years old.

technologies,

Just like a human partner, Kanda's bot isn't perfect. It's not able to go for

Nothing succeeds like success, as every parent of a straight-A student

（负效的）

. Telling kids they're

smart strengthens the idea that intelligence is a genetic gift rather than a

skill that can be developed.

In a recent study, researchers at Michigan State University looked at 123

accuracy task while their brain activity was recorded. In the task, children

played a game, helping a zookeeper capture escaped animals by pressing the

three chimps. During the recording, researchers noted that brain activity

spiked within a half-second after making a mistake, as children became aware

of their error and paid closer attention to what went wrong. The larger the

brain response, the more the children focused on the error.

Based on the data they collected, the researchers concluded that children

You know the drill when it comes to losing weight: take in fewer calories

and burn more calories. 1. If you're trying to drop a few pounds fast, these

interesting tips will make it easy for you to lose the weight quick.

Eat in front of mirrors and you'll lose weight

One study finds that eating in front of mirrors reduces the amount people eat

by nearly one third. Having to look yourself in the eye reflects back some of

your own inner standards and goals. 2.

Sniff a banana or an apple when you feel hungry

3. Researchers find that the more frequently people sniff, the less hungry

they are and the more weight they lose

—

an average of 30 pounds each. One

theory is that sniffing the food tricks the brain into thinking you're

actually eating it.

4.

Whether that's a floor, a couple of windows, or your car, a 150-pound person

will burn about four calories for every minute spent cleaning. Scrub for 30

minutes and you could work off approximately 120 calories, the same number in

a half-cup of frozen yogurt.

Start at the color blue

There's a good reason you won't see many fast-food restaurants decorated in

blue: it helps to control an appetite. So serve up dinner on blue plates,

dress in blue while you eat, and cover your table with a blue tablecloth. 5.

Studies find they encourage eating.

A. You might feel silly, but it works.

B. Therefore, adjust your eating habits.

C. Wash something thoroughly once a week.

D. That's all it takes to lose as many pounds as possible.

E. On the contrary, avoid red, yellow, and orange in your dining areas.

F. In other words, it reminds you of why you're trying to lose weight in the

first place.

G. But you also know that most diets and quick weight- loss plans don't work

as promised.
