How do you train a fish?

The Marine Biological Laboratory have been experimenting and training fish to gather when feeding time with a special tone that they use. They call this "acoustic fish ranching". It takes them 3 or 4 weeks to train them to learn this new discovery.
The potential application it can have is that you can farm fish without keeping them in cages because they respond to the sound and gather in a feeding zone.

This can be useful in places like the Hospital were people sometimes get bacteria like MRSA (superbug). This device creates plasma, this plasma contains various chemicals to kill bacteria and the most impressive thing is that it doesn’t seem to harm human skin.

In a Light More Flattering

Michael Jackson, a legend, a great singer… But what happened to him? He was a great example of Plastic surgery! He changed his face so much that it even didn’t look like that young sweet little boy anymore…
He did various nose jobs, he had his skin change to white (this created problems because people thought that Michael was racist), he had hair transplants, lip reduction and so many other things! He ended up being a totally different person… Is that actually good? Do you really want to change what is you and see someone else in the mirror? How would you react, would you be scared?

The problem is that Plastic surgery has become very popular over the last 10 years but the difference from then to now is that before only rich people could do it but now ordinary people can go and have it done!
Is this how we really want to end up?

When I walk down the road sometimes I see people that are quite weird looking and I always think the same thing… Someone else that has over done it in plastic surgery! It’s horrible!

I agree that you can have a small change in you because you want to feel better but people seem to go beyond that and go for more surgery and then they just look like other weird people!

Just be happy with your body even if it isn’t perfect, if you try to make a perfect body you’ll end up with the worst body of them all.
