Article Response

The Article is very helpful in making me make cautious decisions over the internet. The stuff they are saying is true and may help improve any ones reputation. Developing your online reputation is very important and can show people the type of person you are. Droping F bombs are also a very cautious thing to do because buisnesses could see it and change the way they think of you. Selfies also show the type of person you are. Taking selfies every day and posting them are a very annoying thing to do and could show you as a annoying person. The internet is a very open place to be and can make you think twice before making a move.

A Way To Harvest Hydroelectric Energy From Toilet Flushes

  • The average American flushes 24 gallons of water down the toilet daily
  • Now some of the energy used in a flush could be put to an additional use.
  • A team of researchers in South Korea have created a transducer that translates water motion—from toilets, raindrops, or other water-based uses—into electricity.
  • The technical side is wonky, but essentially, by using the motion from a tiny droplet of water—30 micro liters—the team was able to power a small green LED.

Red Lobster

Red Lobster
Secaucus NJ 07094

        Red lobster is my favorite place to eat. Its a restaraunt that I could easly say " I can eat this anytime any day." No matter how many times I go I don't get tired of it. The atmosphere is great and the entrance is very unique. They are known for having live crabs in an aquarium in the entrance. The customer service is great. The staff is very freindly and whenever something goes wrong its is quickly fixed.
        Red lobster serves mostly seafood. My favorie on the menu is the cajun shrimp alfredo pasta.There are also foods like steak, chicken, ect. The drinks are the normal Coke, Sprite , Mountain Dew and ect. There are also alcoholic drinks but you need to be the age limit. Before eating they give you garlic biscuts baskets with butter on the side. This usually keeps everyone busy while they think about the food they are ordering. The appetizers are also amazing. They are mostly affiliated with seafood wich keeps the theme of the restaurant.
        The restarant was founded by Bill Darden. When he was 19 he opened the Green Frog. He mainly focused on quality and service throught the lifetime of the Green Fog. He had a passion for seafood so in 1968 he opended the first Red Lobster in 1968 Lakeland, Florida. As time went by Red Lobster continued to grow and more and more were created around the counrty. In 1995 Red Lobster along with Olive Garden and Bahama Breeze  became a part of the Darden Restaurants.  In 2005 he turned restaraunt over to the CEO Clarence Otis. Red Lobster has still continues to bring people in after 50 years of service.

A Pacemaker Powered By Heartbeats


  • A pacemaker’s battery needs to be swapped out about every five to eight years, requiring surgery. 
  • Engineers are now working on a device that converts the mechanical energy of a beating heart into electrical energy and could last indefinitely. 
  • A prototype tested in farm animals has generated a microwatt of power, enough to keep a pacemaker going.
