Happiness May come with Age, Study.
Happiness May Come With Age, Study Says

It is inevitable. The muscles weaken. Hearing and vision fade. We get wrinkled and stooped. We can’t run, or even walk, as fast as we used to. We have aches and pains in parts of our bodies we never even noticed before. We get old.

Alfie Kohn, constructivist educator
Alfie Kohn
This is Alfie Kohn’s second time as a guest speaker at Constructing Modern Knowledge.
Alfie Kohn writes and speaks widely on human behavior, education, and parenting. The latest of his eleven books are The Homework Myth: Why Our Kids Get Too Much of a Bad Thing (2006) and Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason (2005). Of his earlier titles, the best known are Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A’s, Praise, and Other Bribes (1993), No Contest: The Case Against Competition (1986), and The Schools Our Children Deserve: Moving Beyond Traditional Classrooms and “Tougher Standards” (1999).
Kohn has been described in Time magazine as “perhaps the country’s most outspoken critic of education’s fixation on grades [and] test scores.” His criticisms of competition and rewards have helped to shape the thinking of educators — as well as parents and managers — across the country and abroad. Kohn has been featured on hundreds of TV and radio programs, including the “Today” show and two appearances on “Oprah”; he has been profiled in the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, while his work has been described and debated in many other leading publications.

China boast of Supercomputer
The supercomputer named Nabulae, nested at Shenzen South China has achieved a record of 1.271 petaflops per second. A petaflop is equivalent to 1,000 trillion calculations.
Before 1950, China, a muddy ground ("nakadanas ka na ba maligo sa dagat ng basura?") can't make a respectable hammer. Now, let us look where China is now. They are going to open the World China Exhibit this June.
Did the Chinese made our PCOS machines?
