What I have learned today [2015/5/18]

2. There are over 116 million age of 80+ and 15 million over 90+ and 426,000 age of 100+.

3. Pilgrim, Sanderson Farms, Tyson and Perdue dominate the chicken industry.

What I have learned today [2015/4/28]

1.Hackers can access the information in your RAM by freezing it and then plugging into another computer.

2.The amount of fluoride in the tap water is being cut.

3. Elder sitters are underpaid yet in shortage. To alleviate this problem, we can professionalize the job by creating standards and certificates to maintain a minimum quality, which will lead to increase in pay. Also, we just have to take better care of ourselves. Please tell your parents and relatives to exercise and stay healthy.

4. Tyson removes antibiotics from chicken. Yup, I think we already ate enough antibiotics. We should demand healthier chickens and be willing to pay a little more ^^

5, Love the food gradient by artist Brittany Wright.

6. Moving Office space? Interesting idea, but the gas mileage would be very bad....and it better have good security measure or else someone will break in. Still interesting concept but a bit farfetched. We can use RVs time to instead for now?

7. Public companies change names quite often. More than you expect.
