For instance, as the researcher notes innocently, if a robot is ordered to make English tea (black tea with milk) and the robot is only familiar with making green tea, the robot will know to obtain information from a robot in Britain."

  9. The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK registered charity (Registration Number 1129409)  which exists to promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially  at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing.
We plan to develop, manufacture and distribute an ultra-low-cost computer, for use  in teaching computer programming to children. We expect this computer to have many  other applications both in the developed and the developing world.
Our first product is about the size of a USB key, and is designed to plug into a TV  or be combined with a touch screen for a low cost tablet. The expected price is $25  for a fully-configured system.
How would you use an ultra-low-cost computer?  Do you have open-source educational  software we can use? Contact us at info@raspberrypi.org.

  12. SEDGWICK, MAINE – On Saturday, March 5, residents of a small coastal town in Maine voted unanimously to adopt the Local Food and Self-Governance Ordinance, setting a precedent for other towns looking to preserve small-scale farming and food processing. Sedgwick, located on the Blue Hill Peninsula in Western Hancock County, became the first town in Maine, and perhaps the nation, to exempt direct farm sales from state and federal licensing and inspection. The ordinance also exempts foods made in the home kitchen, similar to the Michigan Cottage Food Law passed last year, but without caps on gross sales or restrictions on types of exempt foods.

    Local farmer Bob St. Peter noted the importance of this ordinance for beginning farmers and cottage producers. “This ordinance creates favorable conditions for beginning farmers and cottage-scale food processors to try out new products, and to make the most of each season’s bounty,” said St.Peter. “My family is already working on some ideas we can do from home to help pay the bills and get our farm going.”
