Why Does the Letter Q Almost Always Go with U?

The history of why Q is almost always followed by U is fascinating, and dates back to when the Normans invaded England in 1066. Before that, English didn’t even have a Q; it used “cw” to replicate the sound. After the invasion, though, the spelling of English was changed to match the French ways: “cw” was replaced with “qu.”

Get 24-hour home security whether you’re home or not with Ulo, the interactive surveillance camera. With an owl design, this clever device even has actual eyes to focus on the environment. Communicating and interacting with you through eye expressions, Ulo can get across a variety of messages. Although Ulo looks cute, inside are a whole host of surveillance technologies. The beak is actually a two-way mirror with a camera and a motion sensor. Below the beak is a microscopicmicrophone. Inside is a speaker, an orientation sensor, Wi-Fi connectivity, and is all topped with a capacitive button. The eyes, which you can customize for color, size, and shape, provide an elegant LCD screen. When you leave your home, Ulo automatically sends you GIF updates to your email inbox or you can tune into the app for a live view. The rechargeable battery gives Ulo life for up to a week.

There's a growing sense among educators and parents that learning to code is a valuable life skill. The UK has implemented programming in its computing curriculum, and several companies have cropped up with toys and games designed to teach young 'uns how to code. Today a startup called Osmo has come up with its own solution: an iPad game that teaches kids to code with physical blocks. Think of it as Lego for coding.
