Is Jesse James' Purported Mistress, Michelle McGee, A White Supremacist?
Like everyone else, I checked out the photos of Jesse James' supposed mistress, Michelle McGee. What kind of woman does a guy cheat on Sandra Bullock with? A heavily tattooed one was the answer. Among the tattoos I spotted on McGee, there was a "W" and a "P" on the backs of…

Proof Sandra Bullock Knew Her Husband Was Cheatin'
Rumor has it that Sandra Bullock didn't learn about her husband's alleged infidelity until Monday when her publicist, who got a heads-up about the In Touch cover story, broke the news to Sandra herself. But some are saying if you watch the way she interacted with her husband at the Oscars a couple week…

Michelle McGee Says Her Texts Prove She Had An Affair With Jesse James — And He Issues An Apology
Sharing racy text messages is turning into a theme for today. To combat doubt that she really had an affair with Sandra Bullock's we-all-thought-doting hubby, Jesse James, Michelle McGee has handed over images of text messages that Jesse supposedly wrote to her. And some of them are, gulp, from four days ago.

All About Michelle Bombshell McGee, Jesse James' Alleged Mistress
If you were, say, Jesse James and had the good fortune to land a wife like Sandra Bullock, you'd probably never look at another woman for as long as you lived, right? Well, that appears not to be the case. So who is this woman, Michelle McGee, who says she allegedly had an 11-month…

10 Reasons We Love Sandra Bullock
I will admit it. I am one of the 10 people in America who has not traditionally been a Sandra Bullock fan. Why? Because she got herself pigeonholed as the romantic comedy queen—playing the quirky, irreverent, clutzy girl over and over again, and making me want to gag in the process. But last night,…

There are pretty much three roles for actresses in mainstream movies—the ingenue, the quirky best friend, or the mother—and all other actresses get sent to the glue factory.

Looking Back
... time with my sisters, Roberto, Debbie and Melinda, my grandparents and Marge, Zoe, and Megan. Just relaxing and spending time with people and downloading music!
Looking back on this contract, it seems like a blur, sort of unreal. I don't miss it, I miss the warm weather, but I don't miss most of the other things. It is just such a strange feeling to me. I learned a lot, I think I have grown up a lot, and truly became an "adult" through ...
Packing light
... That's four months of stuff crammed into 2 small bags! but really, is there anything I absolutely cannot live without that millions of Europeans can survive without? the answer is no. so I will be visiting the European equivalent of Walgreens within the first week, but still: I packed lighter than ever before, and I'm proud! tomorrow marks take ...
Not the end, A new beginning
... the chance to sleep in my own bed again, I had a dream that the first thing I did was buy a plane ticket to fly straight back. And that's exactly what I did. I woke up and realized it wasn't reality. I am so thankful to be back home and in the arms of everyone I love, and reunited with my cat, and my bed, and American food, BUT if I could have had a few more months, even days, hours, or minutes, I would have taken them without hesitation. I would ...

It's been a week now and I can honestly say I haven't thought much about my trip. Doing so is too emotional. I didn't think I would feel this way so soon. I didn't think I would already feel like my trip was months and months ago...it feels like I've been home for some ...
Arival and Day One
... to remember why I left this place. I took my sister to the grocery store only to be reminded of the sky high grocery prices here, along with the sky high gas prices: both the result of lack of access and over taxation and regulation. The pollution here is also unbelievable, all the buildings have black stains on them, the air is hazy and very dry and cold. There isn't' a speed limit in the city above 30, not that ...

Stylist Interview | Sarah Pollack Boyd
The JustLuxe Team View Profile
Meet the Stylist Series
Sarah Pollack Boyd
Posted: November 2012 |
Make a Comment
Sarah Pollack Boyd
Have you always wanted to ask your favorite designers, stylists and celebrities what they love to about their roles in the fashion industry? Or perhaps what they think the next big beauty or styling trend will be? Look no further than this exclusive series of fashion icon interviews by JustLuxe. So read on, as we bring you these answers and more direct from the fashionistas themselves. Some of the most famous names in the industry, including legendary TV personalities, have divulged exciting insider information and personal stories of their journey to the top just for our readers.
We were inspired to create this series after talking with three influential figures in the fashion world as they geared up as panelists for Simply Stylist New York, a three-tiered event that was held during New York Fashion Week to help fashion lovers get inside tips on all things style related. One of those young ladies is the founder and organizer of the event, Sarah Pollack Boyd. Read on to get the inside scoop on Sarah's story.
Simply Stylist
Los Angeles
Favorite Brands:
Michael Kors, H&M, Aryn K. and Agave Denim.
JustLuxe: You have concentrated your whole profession on a fashion-focused career in public relations. What is it that you love so much about fashion?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
Its a way to express myself through my clothing. First impressions last a lifetime and fashion has a huge impact on that.
JustLuxe:How did you get interested in the fashion industry?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania and always had big dreams to move to Los Angeles since my first visit here in high school. I was so inspired that I decided to study Fashion Merchandising at Philadelphia University and at the University of Rome. After realizing I didn't want to be a buyer, which is what I originally went to school for, I set off to Los Angeles to pursue a career in fashion. Im extremely lucky to have an older sister who also worked in fashion and launched her own PR & Marketing company shortly after I moved out. I started working with her and began building strong relationships in the media, with stylists and other key players in the entertainment world.
JustLuxe: What made you decide to choose the PR route of fashion, rather than design or sales?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
I always had a knack for connecting people whether playing Cupid or always being the friend to coordinate dinners. I try to stay in touch with everyone I meet and easily see how different relationships can work together. I love "connecting the dots" between friends and colleagues. This quality is an important one to have in order to have a successful career in public relations. As for designing... lets just say Im not related to Jackson Pollock.
JustLuxe: What is your best advice for those getting started working in the fashion industry?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
I would say to definitely have THICK skin! And intern, intern, intern get as much experience as you possibly can. Also, be kind. It goes a long way, and you never know where you can help someone or someone can help you down the road. PR people are known for not being the nicest, but I chose the route of being super sweet and it has proved to be successful so far.
JustLuxe: What is the main motivation behind Simply Stylist? What are you hoping your company will accomplish?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
Years ago, before Bravo's "The Rachel Zoe Project" and all the reality shows about stylists, I realized that stylists were the driving force behind trends. They were all so uber cool but didn't want the attention, so they would tell their clients (celebrities) what to wear which, in turn, would end up in magazines, get produced by clothing lines and sold in stores across the world. A trend was born. Other trendsetters include fashion designers, fashion editors, and fashion bloggers. With the rise of reality TV and the transparency of today's culture, I saw the want for consumers to really see how trends were born and learn about them directly from these fashion trendsetters. People have gotten smart and realize that most celebrities don't dress themselves and the consumers want to know more about the people behind it all.
JustLuxe: How does it feel to be working with fashions elite?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
I consider them all close friends, which makes it even easier! I absolutely love being able to showcase my friends' work through the Simply Stylist website or through our Fashion Panels. One of my greatest joys is seeing others I love succeed and grow.
JustLuxe: What is your favorite part of New York Fashion Week? What are you looking forward to most?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
Simply Stylist is probably the only thing ILL be seeing haha! Im going to try to sneak out to some shows while in NYC. I simply love the energy in the city and all of the fashion lovers coming together.
JustLuxe: Who is your favorite designer? Favorite stylist?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
Marchesa can really do no wrong for red carpet. For everyday I love mixing high and low brands I live in include Michael Kors, H&M, Aryn K. and Agave Denim.
There are so many amazing stylists so its really hard to choose! I think Petra Flannery does a fantastic job with her clients Emma Stone and Zoe Saldana. Nicole Chavez has been killing it with Rachel Bilson and Scarlett Johansson.
JustLuxe: Whats one trend that you are predicting will emerge in the near future?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
Metallics, bright/primary colors (think ROYGBIV), and tailored menswear for women.
JustLuxe: Whats one trend you never want to see again?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
Capri pants, scrunchies, and velour jumpsuits.
JustLuxe: Do different cultures ever inspire you and if so, which culture do you find yourself borrowing from the most?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
I get inspired wherever I travel and try to always add something to my wardrobe from each destination.
JustLuxe: How do you feel about all of the design-related TV shows and the uprising of DIY?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
I like watching the DIYs but never translate it into my own world I dont have the attention span or creativity.
JustLuxe: Which filmmakers/films do you turn to for style inspiration?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
Sex and the City, Devil Wears Prada.
JustLuxe: What time period or decade do you feel had the best style?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
I like the current decade because all types of decade's styles are mashed into one.
JustLuxe: What lines or items are you keeping your eye on for this fall?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
Love Lulus and Nasty Gal they have a great buying team and I know I can always get something killer from their sites.
JustLuxe: What fashion or beauty items do you like to treat yourself to?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
I splurge on regular facials and massages. Its a MUST for relaxation! For fashion I choose to splurge on shoes and bags.
JustLuxe: Whats your go-to Fall outfit?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
Chunky sweater, skinny jeans (love Agave and JBrand) and boots.
JustLuxe: What are three Fall staple items you could never do without?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
Sweaters, boots and cords.
JustLuxe: What is one item that you think all women should have in their closet?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
A black, tailored-to-perfection blazer!
JustLuxe: What are some pieces of clothing or accessories you feel will never go out of style?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
Black blazer, LBD, and skinny jeans (they're here to stay.)
JustLuxe: Whats your favorite part about working in the fashion industry? Whats the most challenging?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
Favorite part is working with inspirational people in the fashion world, and most challenging is the rat race.
JustLuxe: How has living in Los Angeles affected your career? Would you be able to do what youre doing in another location?
Sarah Pollack Boyd:
Living in LA was a must for BEGINNING my career but now since Simply Stylist is mainly online and a few pop-up events, it can really be done from a computer anywhere.

Marvel's Upcoming Movies Are Mapped Out For the Next 15 Years
While most of us don't have an idea what Marvel Studios is planning beyond 2016 (and, let's be honest, there's a whole cottage industry built around speculating what those future titles are), but Marvel knows exactly what they're doing. In fact, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has a map in his office that plots out the next 15 years of Marvel movies, all the way to 2028.
'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' TV Spot Premieres During 'The Walking Dead' Season Finale
A new 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' TV spot aired during the 'Walking Dead' season finale and if you missed it, a) it was awesome, and b) we have it for you right here in HD.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller in Talks to Direct 'Ghostbusters 3′
Earlier this week, Ivan Reitman announced he would not be returning to direct 'Ghostbusters 3' for Sony Pictures and, subsequently, the studio was moving quickly to find a replacement. Well, that certainly didn't take long.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the writing-and-directing team behind '21 Jump Street' and 'The LEGO Movie' are in early talks to direct 'Ghostbusters 3' for the studio.
'The Avengers' Was Originally Rated R; Find Out What Scene Had to Be Cut
Most Marvel movies are fairly benign as far as far as their content goes. There's very little in the way of swearing, no nudity, mostly comic violence and zero drug use. So, it was fairly shocking to learn that 'The Avengers' was rated R by the MPAA when Marvel initially submitted it for review. What scene caused the problem and what did director Joss Whedon have to cut to get a PG-13? Let's find out.
'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Casting Update: Who Will Play the New Jedi?
'Star Wars: Episode 7' has been quietly casting now for what feels like years and still, the only real confirmed role we have is Adam Driver, who will play the film's villain. We know we're going to be introduced to a new era of Jedis, but who is actually going to play the new hero? Let's get ourselves updated and acquainted with the actors at the top of J.J. Abrams' list.
Ellen's Oscar Selfie Was Part of a $20 Million Samsung Ad Buy With ABC
Did you think that bit at the Oscars where host Ellen DeGeneres wandered into the audience to tweet a selfie with A-listers like Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper was a refreshing moment of spontaneity in an otherwise scripted affair? Wrong. The viral photo was actually part of a $20 million Samsung advertising campaign designed to promote the Galaxy Note 3, the phone that took the picture.
New 'Transformers 4′ Poster: Mark Wahlberg and His Giant Robot Gun
'Transformers 4' is not a reboot, but it has done away with the human cast you may have been familiar with after the first three movies. Taking over for Shia LaBeouf is Mark Wahlberg, who's role in this movie is to be the father of a really beautiful girl (Nicola Peltz, taking over for Megan Fox). Presumably he has something else to do because in this new 'Transformers 4' poster, he's got a really, really big alien gun. And he's ready to use it.
Matthew McConaughey Wins Best Actor at the 2014 Oscars
While there were a lot of tight races at the 2014 Oscars, Best Actor wasn't one of them. Matthew McConaughey, the odds-on favorite and Golden Globe winner, won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in 'Dallas Buyers Club' and that's alright, alight, alright with us.
How Vin Diesel Punk'd His Way Into the Marvel Universe
It was the headline that sent the fanboy world abuzz: Vin Diesel has mysterious meetings with Marvel to discuss an upcoming movie. The word was leaked by Diesel himself on his popular Facebook page, but with precious few details. At the time, all we could do was wildly speculate. Was it Vision? Luke Cage? Thanos?! It turns out it was nothing. Vin Diesel never had a meeting with Marvel; he was just f---ing around on social media, trying to get a rise out of comic book fans.
Jimmy Fallon Kicks Off 'The Tonight Show' With Will Smith, Tina Fey, Seth Rogen and Tons of Special Guests
Last night, Jimmy Fallon officially ushered in a new era of 'The Tonight Show' and, besides a move to New York City, already made the show his own. Can you imagine Jay Leno ever doing The Humpty Dance in a "The Evolution of Hip-Hop Dancing"?
Sorry Film Fans, February is Statistically the Worst Month For Movies
As you're looking online this month, trying to figure out what movie you should go see at the theater, don't be surprised if you can't find much you really want to go see. A new study reveals that February movies are actually the worst of the entire year.
'Transformers 4′ Super Bowl Trailer: The Dinobots Have Arrived!
The 'Transformers 4' Super Bowl trailer is here and finally gives us our first look at the rebooted (but not rebooted?) movie. Now, with our first official look at the upcoming Michael Bay movie we finally get to see the Dinobots!

This year's Oscar© ceremony has been described as one of the most political in recent memory, as winners acceptance speeches included history lessons and calls to action on women's issues and immigration. We'll take a closer look at comments on equal pay for women, feminism, and the civil rights movement coming out of the Oscars© winners circle. Later in the show, as Black History Month comes to a close, we pause to remember the artistry of writer James Baldwin, whose provocative essays on race and identity in America still resonate.

Back to back storms in as little as two weeks dropped record amounts of snow on New England. The capacity of the MBTA's equipment was put to the test, but the system buckled under the weight of the weather. In the face of widespread train delays and mounting criticism, MBTA General Manager Beverly Scott responded with a fiery press conference that's not likely to be forgotten anytime soon. The day after her press conference, Scott submitted her letter of resignation. We'll take a look at her tenure and immediate task at hand to get the trains back to normal.
Later in the show, as the Bay State Banner celebrates 50 years of reporting the news of New England's communities of color, we discuss the continuing evolution of journalists of color.

The history of South Africa's struggle for freedom from racial segregation and oppression would be incomplete without the story of Ahmed Kathrada.
Born in 1929 to Indian migrants, Kathrada gravitated toward the antiapartheid movement at age 12. In his teens, as a member of the African National Congress, a nonviolent civil rights group, he participated in peace rallies alongside Nelson Mandela, the group's leader. But on March 21, 1960, a turning point occurred when police opened fire on a peaceful antiapartheid rally in the Sharpeville township, leaving 69 people dead and 180 injured. After the Sharpeville massacre, the ANC started questioning its nonviolent tactics. In 1961, the ANC formed an armed wing, mobilizing attacks against white establishments. A year later, both Mandela and Kathrada were arrested and were later among those sentenced to life imprisonment on Robben Island, off Cape Town.
Upon his release in 1989, at age 60, Kathrada entered a new South Africa. In 1990, South African president F.W. de Klerk released Mandela and lifted the ban on apartheid. In 1991, Mandela became ANC president, and the once banned group became the predominant political party. In the country's first democratic elections in 1994, Mandela was elected as the country's first black president. And when forming his cabinet that year, Mandela appointed Kathrada as his presidential adviser.
In this episode of Basic Black, hosted by Howard Manly, Kathrada shares events highlighted in his 2004 autobiography, Memoirs, as well as his current mission to educate the public about human rights and South Africa's liberation movement as chair of the Robben Island Museum Council.

Sister Rosemary M. Wixom: 'The Words We Speak'
Become like the Savior by ministering to God's children
Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
"One of the greatest influences a person can have in this world is to influence a child," said Sister Rosemary M. Wixom, general Primary president.
In the Book of Mormon, the prophet Helaman taught his sons to center their lives on Christ. These sons did so, and when they were cast into prison, it was a "still voice of perfect mildness" (Helaman 5: 30) that came to them.
"We can learn from that voice from heaven. It not loud, scolding or demeaning; it was a still voice of perfect mildness, giving firm direction while giving hope."
She told of a mother who lost her child, Connor, in a fabric store. As her panic increased, she yelled her child's name louder and became frantic. Another store patron prayed and had the thought that Connor might be too frightened to respond to his screaming mother. She and another woman walked between the tables of fabric, saying quietly, "Connor, if you can hear my voice, say, 'Here I am.'" Soon, the boy responded.
Pray to know a child's needs, Sister Wixom counseled, adding that the Holy Ghost will reveal what is needed
Disconnect and listen with love, she advised. She cited a recent study showed that when a parent of an 18-month-old was more engaged with his phone than with his child, there was "a dimming of the child's internal light, a lessening of the connection between parent and child." She suggested finding a time each day to "disconnect from technology and reconnect with each other."
She recommended writing "to persuade our children." She related the account President Thomas S. Monson shared of a prisoner of war in Vietnam in the 1960s. He was allowed to write only 25 words to his family, so he focused on what was most important.
"What words would you write to your children if you had 25 words or less?" Sister Wixom asked.
She said it would make a difference if parents took the time to tell their children, "You are a child of God" and "I love everything about you." She points out that Heavenly Father called His Son "beloved … in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17).
"May the words we speak and write to our children reflect the love our Heavenly Father has for His son, Jesus Christ, and for us. And then may we pause to listen, for a child is most capable of speaking great and marvelous things in return."

Aulde de Barbuat's insight:
Why are marketing strategies changing ?"
"With 30-second spots going for as much as $4 million and more than 111 million viewers expected to tune in, marketers are constantly looking for ways to make their ads stand out." "It's increasingly difficult to captivate viewers with short-form plots involving babies, celebrities, sex and humor — unless there's a compelling story attached."
So,"A lot of advertisers are running "MINI SOAP OPERAS, TEAR-JERKING MINI EPICS, USER-INSPIRED TALES, COMEDY " that often engage people in a very emotional way,"
A few, like GoDaddy.com's ad, criticised for being sexist, "stuck with short, quirky spots with no particular plot. It showed a close up, extended kiss between supermodel Bar Refaeli and a nerdy guy wearing glasses to illustrate GoDaddy's combo of "sexy" and "smart.""

Weekend Trivia ~ Saturday
Well, Happy Weekend, Cottagers! It is a snowy old day here - I feel badly for my neighbours, because they are having an open house today. It's kind of sad, cause they are very nice neighbours, respectful kids and the whole nine.
Well, on to the trivia portion of our show: There was a great article in the newspaper this week about advertising mascots. The premise was that those mascots that influenced us as kids can continue to hold sway over our adult decisions. Who could ever forget Tony the Tiger, or the uproar (pun intended) when he was 'retired'. So, today's question is about another, much older mascot: who is Bibendum?
As always, I will be back to tickle your little grey cells with clues - if you smart guys need them. This is another one of those 'might be over in one' kind of questions!!
No pipe dreams, for sure. He is currently starring in a series of commercials in his latest incarnation. An 1898 poster showed him offering the toast 'Nunc est bibendum' to his scrawny competitors with a glass, oh, but a glass of what? Not liquid, that's for sure. C'est a direr, Mon Dieu!
Nancy, I never tire of your trivia. The pressure is really on now.
I spent a lot of the morning moving snow, which unfortunately, meant a certain amount of shoveling. This is a shot of the non-shoveling part -- the good part.
I think this is right up there with the deepest snow in the driveway I have seen since we moved in 12 years ago. Overall, we probably got only 6 or 8 inches, but the wind piled it up.
My basement wood-shop is calling me now. I'll check in again later.
I am following and thinking. Had an idea about a well known mascot but no way could he hold a glass to offer a toast. Don't remember seeing the current commercial. Need to think some more.
Windy & cold here but only a little fresh snow to blow around and pile up.
Extreme cold seems to have been the cause of a spontaneously shattered driver's side car window late Thursday night. A very cold drive home for DH.
A rare day above freezing yesterday but temps are plummeting again.
Aah, Annette - you are on the right track!! Perhaps several balloons.
Well, let's see - he is one of the worlds oldest trademarks; in the 1800's he wore pince-nez glasses and smoked a cigar. In the 1980's he was shown to be active and running.
Oh, I feel your pain with the weather - it is so cold and blustery, but the neighbourhood kids are still out there playing, all bundled up - I wonder how they can move, sometimes!!
I think Annette's clue gave me the answer though I do not remember knowing his name.
Yesterday's warmer temps made for slush which was brought into the garage and needed to be shoveled out before we went to Costco today. And, yes, I am one of those people who like to kick the slush off before parking the car. DH is not. I restrain myself from kicking the snow from other people's cars, though sometimes it is very tempting.
You are all trying so hard to get me to the answer. I am at tires, but the only character I can think of is the Michelin man which would go with Annette's Mmmmm. Did he have a different name at one point? Grasping at those (bendy-haha) straws again.
Well, I am late back for the reveal - ran out into the freezing cold to run an errand. The downside to bundling up is that with exertion, I sweat like crazy. So here I am, cat on my lap, hair soaking wet, trying to get this typed out. And yes, Pita is trying to help me, and is no help at all.
So, yes my friends, we were looking for the Michelin man.
As I am writing this, I wonder if it would helped to talk about restaurant stars, but maybe not a popular thing in the US?
The 1898 poster showed him offering the toast Nunc est bibendum to his scrawny competitors with a glass full of road hazards, with the title and the tag C'est àdire: àvotre santé. Le pneu Michelin boit l'obstacle ("That is to say, to your health. The Michelin tire drinks up obstacles").
While attending the Universal and Colonial Exposition in Lyon in 1894, Edouard and André Michelin noticed a stack of tires that suggested to Edouard the figure of a man without arms. Four years later, André met French cartoonist Marius Rossillon, popularly known as O'Galop, who showed him a rejected image he had created for a Munich brewery - large, regal figure holding a huge glass of beer and quoting Horace's phrase "Nunc est bibendum". André immediately suggested replacing the man with a figure made from tires. Thus O'Galop transformed the earlier image into Michelin's symbol. Today, Bibendum is one of the world's most recognised trademarks, representing Michelin in over 150 countries.
The name of the plump tire-man has entered the language to describe someone obese or wearing comically bulky clothing. (e.g. "How can I wrap up warm without looking like the Michelin Man?")
Bibendum's shape has changed over the years. O'Galop's logo was based on bicycle tires, wore pince-nez glasses with lanyard, and smoked a cigar. By the 1980s, Bibendum was being shown running, and in 1998, his 100th anniversary, a slimmed-down version became the company's new logo. He had long since given up the cigar and pince-nez. The slimming of the logo reflected lower-profile, smaller tires of modern cars. Bib even had a similar-looking puppy as a companion when the duo were CGI animated for recent American television advertisements.
And yes, he probably does have some cousins: the Pillsbury Doughboy and the Stay Puft man (he of Ghostbusters fame) come to mind.
So, for everyone:
Thanks for playing - see you all next week. ...

Timothy McInnes's curator insight, March 22, 5:27 AM
An article about how robots are even beginning to replace our teachers schools.
Geoff Ahloy-Martin's curator insight, Today, 5:50 AM
Nobody denies that education is of paramount importance. The use of remote teaching tools such as the Telepresence Robot allows the teaching of lectures and classes without requiring the presence of teachers in the classroom. With new technologies that also aim to break language barriers, this is the beginning of a technology that could deliver education to very remote corners of the globe.
Brock Nicholls's curator insight, Today, 9:32 AM
Decarr, K (19 March, 2015). Telepresence Robots Bring Teachers into Classrooms. Education News.
This is about the use of robots as teachers in the classroom. The robots discussed in the article don't seem very smart but if the technology is advanced then we could possibly see robots replacing teachers in numerous places. This source gives us a starting idea of what robots would be like in classes.
Caelin Thomas's curator insight, March 26, 12:29 AM
This Article is about a farmer who has taken an age old method and revamped it using robotics. His new idea was is instead of using huge man driven machines, he would invest in smaller robots that can work all day and all night. These newer robots are also vastly more fuel efficient and allow the farmers to start working on a better quality corps. Perfect example of robotics helping in the workforce.
Nathaniel Pather's curator insight, March 25, 11:48 PM
Farming looks much more interesting to me now!
Ben Simpson's curator insight, Today, 5:21 AM
Drones, Robots and AI are all near future technology that will help and benefit farmers in growing and supplying food and plants. This source goes into great detail on how this will work!

This source discusses the benefits of utilizing Robots and Drones for farming purposes making it an easier task for the farmer as s/he won't have to travel a huge area anymore. Shows insight and history of development through the engines and systems used in agriculture e.g from animal power to combustion engines.
