She found herself robed and ready on time, which was expected - a lack of synchronicity is a sin.  Her mother and father stood to either side of the door, ready to enter at her side.  They would offer her to the Colony, supporting her as she adjusted to the input.  She shivered at the thought of it, but had been advised it was controllable.  Practice would provide some autonomy and mastering the filters would limit unwanted intrusion.

A long requested addition to the Final Departure line is our new Titanic cruise experience.  Re-launching from Liverpool with full period settings, we offer a wonderful opportunity to sail off into the sunset with a five day all-inclusive vacation ending with the passing of your choice.  With five star chefs and an excellent crew, this cruise offers seven gentle ways to pass or you can wait for the grand finale and go down with the boat*.

“Guess what, class?”  Mrs. Higglemeister waved everyone to silence.  “I’d like us to welcome Katie back today. She’s able to join us from home until she can return to school and you can see she’s in her desk as if she was here.”

Whirlpool reinvents the kitchen of the future, all over again

Shot of futuristic table top

Whirlpool shows off a futuristic kitchen design including a reworked cook top, responsive countertops with heating and cooling, and a new approach to refrigeration.  Honestly, it seem they've been reinventing the kitchen for so long, I'm amazed da Vinci didn't present a "Kitchen of the 17th century" when the calendar ticked to 1500.  They're always so colorful and fluid and look like they got blown into space from the Enterprise, but somehow my 2012 kitchen is still using gas fed flame and filled with stone that was ancient when da Vinci's mother was hoping for someone to invent disposable diapers.  That said, I can dream as well...

Drone in flight

A great article on Next Big Future about drones and precision farming pointing out the results of using this process to manage nitrogen alone are seeing an increase of income per acre from both decreased expenditures and increased crop performance.  The practice uses multispectral imagery, combined with other traditional testing methods, to identify how much seed, fertilizer or other crop supporting products to use in a given field zone.
