AW!

Most of us percieve the culinary world to be unattached or slightly attached to the technological world because many chefs use the traditional way of cooking (which include the traditional gadgets). Little do chefs know there have been more and more appliances that may change the way we look at cooking.

One example is The Gastrovac. Think of the Gastrovac as a crock pot, vacuum pump and heating plate in one. Suspend your food—pear slices, for example—in a basket above a flavorful liquid, such as wine broth. Seal the machine, and hit a button to turn the cooking chamber into a vacuum. The low-pressure environment pulls all the air out of the food, compressing it like a squished sponge. Near the end of their cooking, drop the pears into the broth and restore the pressure. The liquid rushes into the cells, infusing the fruit with an intense wine flavor. And no oxygen means no oxidation—so instead of turning brown, fruit comes out as brightly colored as it was when first sliced. It sells for a steep price of $3,800.

Another is the Fry Doctor. Deep fryers are hardly citadels of health, but this one comes close. Using a rotating heat-pulse system, it can fry up a couple pounds of potatoes on a single tablespoon of oil, 3 percent of what ordinary fryers require. Toss in strips of meats or vegetables for more (relatively) healthy fried snacks. It sells for $300.

Next is the New Whirlpool Fridge. If you down coffee like its water, an ordinary maker might not cut it. This refrigerator has a professional-grade espresso machine built into the door—a built-in filter ensures that your latte is made with only the best water. Meanwhile, sensors detect the ideal conditions for your food, and a cold-air circulation system allows the machine to return to its selected temperature (after the door’s been open) five times as fast as ordinary models.

Another is the Anti-griddle. The Anti-Griddle maintains a constant temperature of –30ºF by pumping a refrigerant through a compressor to remove heat from the smooth steel surface. The result: Liquids, creams and gels get a frozen crust in 30 to 90 seconds, while staying creamy inside. It sells for roughly $1,000.

Among the millions is the Smoking Gun. Sprinkle hardwood sawdust into a pipe on the top of this device, light it up, and poof!—instant smoke you can infuse into your roast, pot of vegetables or vacuum bag for smokehouse flavor without the hazy kitchen. Its sells for only $50.

Many of these devices can truly aid the cooking industry by making their job more efficient in both time and money.

Our environment is rapidly degrading and we, humans, are the number one cause of it. It is now time for us to become more aware of our actions. This environmental awareness has been spread throughout the world and Internet has been a major factor for it.

Environment awareness is all over the internet world. The Greenpeace Organization is one of the mass user of the internet for spreading their word. This worldwide organization increases the awareness of what is happening to our wildlife and environment. Internet has been a big help to lessen the world’s problem with the environment.

There are also some prominent people that advertises our advocacy. Al Gore is one. He made a documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth”, which depicts Climate Change. He was a Politician who ran for President in the United States. This made the documentary much more credible. Now, he is all over the Internet. In http://www.youtube.com, he has a lot of videos about his crusade.

Hey guys, is it working?

Yup, looks like it is!

Tried doing T. Connie’s assignment too, and it turns out that the Wordpress for the Y4 blog is a separate or individual CMS install (and not the Wordpress MU or multi-user version for the other HEdCen blogs). So it really is possible to embed videos!Just don’t ask me how I did it…

1.Internet censorship is control of the publishing or accessing of information on the Internet. The legal issues are similar to offline censorship.

One difference is that national borders are more permeable online: residents of a country that bans certain information can find it on websites hosted outside the country. Conversely, attempts by one government to prevent its citizens from seeing certain material can have the effect of restricting foreigners, because the government may take action against Internet sites anywhere in the world, if they host objectionable material.

2.The Philippines has a lot of Internet users. I haven’t searched anything about Internet Censorship in our country.

3.
a. The People’s Republic of China is in ONI’s pervasive category and is on RSF’s internet enemy list. China blocks or filters Internet content relating to Tibetan independence, Taiwan independence, police brutality, the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, freedom of speech, democracy, pornography, some international news sources (such as the BBC), certain religious movements (such as Falun Gong), many blogging websites, and Wikipedia. Some 52 cyber dissidents are reportedly imprisoned in China for their online postings.

b. Singapore is in ONI’s nominal category and is not on RSF’s internet enemy list. In Singapore, three people were arrested and charged with sedition for posting racist comments on the Internet, of which two have been sentenced to imprisonment.

c. Myanmar is in ONI’s pervasive category and on RSF’s internet enemy list. Burma has banned the websites of political opposition groups, sites relating to human rights, and organizations promoting democracy in Burma. During the 2007 anti-government protests, Burma(another name for Myanmar) completely shut down all internet links from its country.
