El poeta más revolucionario de España, Federico García Lorca tuvo una relación muy importante y secreta en el este de EE.UU. Fascinante...

If robots do take over the world, this one probably won't be the leader.

Less than 5.8 centimeters tall — a little shorter than a lighter — it has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's smallest humanoid robot.

Humanoid robots look and act like humans. For the Guinness record, they must be able to move their shoulders, elbows, knees and hips, and also be able to walk.

Made by a Japanese student named Mitsuya Tatsuhiko, this one is less than half the size of the previous holder of the world record, which was made by students from Hong Kong.

Tatsuhiko is a postgraduate student at Nagoya Institute of Technology, where he researches crawler robots. Crawler robots don't look like humans, however, and they're used to inspect places that are hard to get to.

Tatsuhiko has been interested in robots since he was a child.

According to Guinness World Records, he built his first humanoid robot when he was 10.

He didn't spend as much time making them during high school, but he has returned to his passion as he has gotten older.

It took him a few tries to get his record-breaking robot right, and he worked hard to make it as small as he could.

He applied for the record with his third attempt while he was in the fourth year of his degree. He said he was very happy to have broken the record.

Tatsuhiko hopes to work with robots when he finishes university, but he'll also keep making them at home as a hobby.

我的爱情故事 

10年前，我和男朋友认识了。我们是高中同学，他坐在我的后面，学习上我总是班上的第一名，而他是男生里面的第一名。他不仅长得高高的，而且脾气很好。开始的时候，我对他的印象不太好，我觉得他的性格有点像女生，太温柔了。高中毕业后，我们去了一样的大学，彼此越来越熟悉。我们常常一起坐车去学校，再坐车回家。慢慢地，我发现，他很浪漫，性格也不错，尽管认识很多女生，但他们只是普通朋友。朋友总是开我们的玩笑，说我们看起来像男女朋友，然后，我们在一起了。

后来，我考上了成都的硕士研究生，他担心我一个人会害怕。所以，他毕业以后，立刻坐18个小时的火车去了成都。在那儿，他住着一个月600块的又小又黑的房子。慢慢地，他也从一个普通的员工成长为一个领导。生活在变好，我们的爱情也在成熟。
三年前，我研究生毕业了，工作一段时间后，我们终于结婚了，现在我们有一个可爱的宝宝。我仍然不会用手机地图，出门也常常会迷路，一个人也害怕去不熟悉的地方。可是，没关系，我有全世界最好的男生，他会一直陪着我。

今天是中国的“六一儿童节”（Children's Day）,先祝italki的大朋友、小朋友节日快乐。当然，也祝福顺利解封的上海的小伙伴，在大家迷茫、痛苦的时候，仍然保持“世界以痛吻我，我却报之以歌”的生活态度，永葆童心，心怀希望。今天和大家分享海子的一首诗《面朝大海，春暖花开》


       《面朝大海，春暖花开》

　　                                    海子

　　从明天起，做一个幸福的人

　　喂马、劈柴，周游世界

　　从明天起，关心粮食和蔬菜

　　我有一所房子，面朝大海，春暖花开

　　从明天起，和每一个亲人通信

　　告诉他们我的幸福

　　那幸福的闪电告诉我的

　　我将告诉每一个人

　　给每一条河每一座山取一个温暖的名字

　　陌生人，我也为你祝福

　　愿你有一个灿烂的前程

　　愿你有情人终成眷属

　　愿你在尘世获得幸福

　　我只愿面朝大海，春暖花开。

The Adventures of Odyssea: Ch 4.5 - Calypse

Episode 3 is all about how to practice speaking when you're alone. Here I break everything down into 2 main parts. The first is how you're going to do your practice and the second is exactly what you'll be saying. So many people I work with can see the value of practicing speaking English when they're alone, but unlike reading, listening, and writing, the best way to do this doesn't always seem so clear. We'll also talk a little bit about habit building, although I have a full episode on that coming up! So subscribe, grab a coffee, and let's talk about speaking practice!
