Aryan,5,at the school,said he was “genuinely outraged”.
He said,“There are schools that have banned conkers(康克戏) and snowballs,and now
Valentine’s Day cards.”
“I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills.How are they going to
learn about relationships otherwise?It’s ridiculous.”
Alec Suttenwood,founder of the AntiPolitical Correctness Group,said of the ban,“It’s
totally ridiculous.Young children just send the cards to each other as friends and to their
parents.It’s just a bit of harmless fun.There is no difference between this and Mother’s or Father’s
Day.”

A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first
robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated
systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its
mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum
of a bunch of individual components ( 元 件 ),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering
professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his
team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a
project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to
develop them all on our own,” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple
system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual
components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to
everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power,
computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the
flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is
eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-
gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able
to take off, land and fly around,” he said.
