Blood Bank

Blood banks are still using paper-based process to track the donors. They should have put it online so that donors can fill out the forms before they come to the Center. In addition, blood is a DNA carrier. If we have a DNA reader, then why don't we use the blood sample to track down the donors instead of the paper trace?

Salsa



















Salsa instructors are indeed maters of body languages and physical education. As we know that physical education can be just learned from books or computers. One needs the move his butt and get sweaty. Analogy was used intensively. For example, how to rise the body like a snake? The instructor named body parts: A, B, C, D, E, F... A is stomach; F is the head. Well, first rise A, then B, then C.... Use a wall to assist the curvature body rising...imaging you are facing a wall, touch A first, then B, then C, then D....finally your head.

Physical education = body langauge (component) + analogy (process) + imagination (process) + sweat (process)
