Facebook Dev sur Twitter Pedaling For A Hour Can Power Your Home For Twenty-Four Hours What if you could power your house for an entire day just by exercising for an hour, would that motivate you to do it? I just love this idea, it could even become something that can be done as a family. People often complain about the high costs of energy and the fact that they “never have time to workout.” Most importantly, this free power invention has the potential to lift the 1.3 billion people who presently live without electricity out of poverty. As Manoj Bhargava, the founder of the Free Electric hybrid bike, shares in the video above, it is possible to generate electricity at home while simply doing a daily workout routine. When an individual pedals the bike, the action drives a flywheel, which turns a generator and charges a battery. The billionaire and his team developed the bicycle to take advantage of mechanical energy created by humans to solve one of the world’s most pervasive problems. “Everything requires energy. The bicycle is also a clean way to generate power.

Security Small Town, Pennsylvania: The dilemma of shrinking schools Neighboring West Greene School District — which covers 256 square miles and is comprised of small communities and rural neighborhoods — has already undertaken a similar effort, consolidating its three elementary schools into one. In the 2006-07 school year, the district closed Aleppo Elementary and moved its students to Springhill-Freeport Elementary School. Two years ago, West Greene closed its two remaining elementary schools, Springhill-Freeport and Graysville, and opened the new West Greene Elementary Center. One of the closed schools had served 400 students, while the other two were educating between 30 and 40 students. The merger netted a savings of $300,000 a year, Superintendent Brian Jackson said. “The biggest savings in that was transportation,” he said. Jackson said his district is also dealing with a large decline in students. Thirteen years ago, there were 1,100 students, he said. In West Greene, however, coal mines are expanding, Jackson said.

Sunrise for iPhone: a next-generation calendar app plugged in to Facebook and Google "I looked at my iPhone, and I don’t use any of the default apps anymore," says Pierre Valade. "Instead of Music, I use Spotify, instead of Notes, I use Evernote, and instead of SMS, I use WhatsApp and Kik. All these things are moving to the cloud, and every app is becoming more social." But one app was different. "I looked at Calendar, and thought maybe the same thing was going to happen, but who's going to do it?" Maybe it's because calendars are boring. Design / UI Sunrise began as a daily digest email that pulled in events from Google Calendar, Facebook, and Eventbrite. At a glance, Sunrise looks like a creamsicle-flavored Google Calendar client.

Stop Jacinda Ardern sets ambitious targets to reduce child poverty. New Zealand plans to be the first in the world to measure its success against how it does socially, culturally and environmentally. During her first major public address of the year, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said her Labour-led Government wanted to go further than the child poverty measures it had announced this week. By the 2019 Budget, it would introduce a tool and framework to include the wellbeing of New Zealanders a measure of our economic success. Jacinda Ardern has unveiled ten year targets for reducing child poverty. Until now, the country's economic progress had been measured solely by tracking GDP, Ardern said. The three 10-year targets are:
