In Japan, the abacus is still popular台北珠算課約1965
我們老一輩，小學有珠算課：台北中山國小五年級，約1965，最後變成訓練選手馬玉龍去參賽，上課時，他與老師表演。
• 今日圖片：本月在京都舉行的日本全國珠算大賽。直到1970年代，珠算仍是日本小學的主要課程之一。據政府估計，目前日本仍有數万名兒童學習珠算。 （《 紐約時報 》）

兒童食堂——「一起做」「一起吃」的重要性......."教育人行道"專欄
我22年前有"教育人行道"專欄，似乎寫過類似的題材。
2013年日本出臺了《兒童貧困對策推進相關法律》，作為兒童貧困對策，為兒童提供容身之所的各項工作在全國範圍內增加。除了國家採取的對策之外，作為各地區力所能及的措施，「兒童食堂」在民間團體、企業的善意中得到不斷推廣。
運營者包括飲食店主、寺廟住持、當地的志工團體等各方面人士。目的也各不相同，有的是為了改善貧困，有的是為了培養兒童良好的飲食習慣，還有的是為了與社區居民開展交流等等。但多數團體的一致目標，是創造一個讓兒童可獨自前來就餐的場所。
這裡不僅聚集了兒童支援者，還吸引了不同職業、立場、年齡層和國籍的大人們，令大家開始一起正視生活在日本的孩子們所面臨的危機。通過兒童食堂的運營，不僅僅是經濟困難的家庭，許許多多的大人們都開始注意到孩子們在「吃飯」問題上的危機狀態，並開始攜手共同謀求改善方法。

香港教育專業人員協會【守護良知 ─ 8.17 教育界遊行】ASIA PACIFIC Hong Kong teachers open another weekend of protests for democracy and rights
本週六，香港教育專業人員協會組織了一場教育界大遊行，其主題為「守護下一代、為良知發聲」，要求特區政府立即回應「反送中」運動中示威者的五大訴求。而在紅磡地區，遊行組織方則提出了「不受傷、不流血、不被捕」。
Stand News 立場新聞
【守護良知 ─ 8.17 教育界遊行】
教協今天發起「守護下一代，為良知發聲」集會遊行，早上 11 時起在遮集會，11 時半起步遊行往禮賓府。數以千計的市民響應教協呼籲穿上黑衣出席，並高舉印有「良知」大字的標語。
教協指，過去兩個月，香港市民一直反對《逃犯條例》修訂，要求政府回應五大訴求。然而，政府至今仍漠視民意，不單縱容警方濫用武力，更拘捕七百多人，當中不少是學生。為了香港的未來，我們的年青人，教協呼籲教師參與教育界遊行， 表達教育界的聲音。
教育界 8.17 大遊行已獲警方批出不反對通知書 ，教協呼籲所有遊行參加者，以最和平的方式表達訴求。

Wikipedia 的機構RI之資料，
The Robotics Institute (RI) is a division of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. A June 2014 article in Robotics Business Review magazine calls it "the world's best robotics research facility" and a "pacesetter in robotics research and education."[1]
The Robotics Institute focuses on bringing robotics into everyday activities. Its faculty members and graduate students examine a variety of fields, including space robotics, medical robotics, industrial systems, computer vision and artificial intelligence, and they develop a broad array of robotics systems and capabilities.[1]
Established in 1979 by Raj Reddy,[2] the RI was the first robotics department at any U.S. university.[3] In 1988, CMU became the first university in the world offering a Ph.D. in Robotics.
In 2012, the faculty, staff, students and postdocs numbered over 500,[3] and the RI annual budget exceeded $65M,[3] making the RI one of the largest robotics research organizations in the world.[4]
The RI occupies facilities on the Carnegie Mellon main campus as well as in the Lawrenceville and Hazelwood neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, totaling almost 200,000 sq. ft of indoor space and 40 acres of outdoor test facilities.

Major centers[edit]
The National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC) was established in 1996 as the commercial arm of the RI, with the intention of applying robotic technology to commercial and defense applications. It has partnered with more than 300 companies such as General Motors, GE Ventures, Google, Apple and the U.S. military.
In September 2015, the NREC secured a $5.5 million gift from the car transport company, Uber, to support three robotics fellowships and research directed at developing safe, self-driving cars.[5] This donation was made roughly seven months after Uber poached 40 NREC scientists, including its director, Tony Stenz, and other key program leaders, while the two organizations closely collaborated on driverless technologies.[6]
The Field Robotics Center (FRC) has developed a number of significant robots, including Sandstorm and H1ghlander, which finished second and third in the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, and Boss, which won the 2007 DARPA Grand Challenge.
