A Day in the Life

A typical day in the life working at Mini Martha Stuarts would be very hectic. First we would greet our first customers. We would then talk to them and see what kind of personality they have so that their makeovers will suit them. We would then take them to find clothes that will look good on them and be suitable for their daily lives. Once clothes are covered we would then take them to the salon part of the building and cut and color their hair. Once done we would then do their makeup. After all these steps are completed they pay at the register and go show off their new look. Throughout this day my co-workers and I will be accepting phone calls for bookings.

Nick Vujicic

Nick Vujicic was born 26 years ago in Melbourne, Australia to his parents Boris & Dushka Vujicic. He was born without arms or legs. His medical condition wasn't given a reason. Even though he does not have any limbs he does have a small foot with two toes. Nick is a motivational speaker and the director of life without limbs. Life without limbs is an organization for people who are physically disabled.
Nick was not allowed to go to regular school because Asutralian law restricted physically disabled people from going to a mainstream school. Once the law was changed Nick was one of the first pyshically disabled people to go to a mainstream school. Nick has fought against many disadvantages and does things people wouldn't have expected him to do. He can surf, swim, and golf. He graduated from University with a double major in accounting and financial planning. He has done many things, but now he is a motivational speaker. He speaks to teenagers about how you should never give up. He is a prime example for this as he has no limbs and has never given up completely. Nick has thought about giving up. When he was 10 years old he thought about commiting suicide, but he choose not to and decided to stick it out.
To me and probably many other people Nick is an inspirational person. He inspires us with how much he was able to do with his life with what he was given. Instead of sitting around feeling sorry for himself Nick goes out into the world and motivates teenagers. He teches them to never give up and to always look on the bright side.

William Kamkwamba

William Kamkwamba is from a small country in Africa. He is an amazing person. He was able to come from being a dropout from school to building a windmill. William Kamkwamba is an amazing person because, unlike other people in poor countries, he went and did something about it instead of just waiting around for other people from other countries to do something. He was also able to build a windmill by reading books and figuring out on his own how to build one.

I think that the concept of people building their own windmills should be brought to other poor countries. William could go to other countries and talk to them about what he did and what they could do to make their lives easier and maybe happier. Not just William but other people who learn and teach about energy could go and teach them about windmills and other technologies they can use for their own use.

I think that it is amazing how countries like Canada and the United States have all this new technology and places like Malawi are just starting to get windmills. I believe that if places like Malawi could get the knowledge and supplies that they need that they could start to get more advanced technological wise.

Microsoft Word Vs. Google Docs

Both Microsoft Word and Google Docs have many positives and negatives involving their use.

Microsoft has many positives, while Google Docs has many negatives. Microsoft has an automatic spelling and grammar check. Google Docs doesn't have an automatic spell and grammar check. Microsoft has more options and details for your document than Google Docs, so if you have more experience this document may be more rewarding for you to use. while Google Docs has less.

Microsoft also has many negatives, while Google Docs also has many positives. Microsoft has many details for your document that you can use and if you are not sure what each one does they do not come in handy for you. Google Docs has fewer details, and with these fewer details this document is most likely easier to use for people with less experience. Microsoft can only save on the computer you are using. Google Docs will save to you GMail where it is accessible from any computer.

In my opinion Microsoft Word is a better word document. I have more experience using this document and I find that with all the details and options this word document is more efficient.

Multi Touch Screen With C Dragon and Photosynth

Multi Touch Screen and Photosynth are two amazing new inventions and technologies.

Multi touch screen is a screen where multipule people can use one of the apps together. You can have as many people as you want all toughing the screen at one time. I think this technology would be better if you could do different things on it, like play games, use microsoft, or go on the internet. If the multi touch screen had these apps I would use it all the time and want to have one.
Photosynth is a new technology where many different images are tagged to one 3D picture that can be turned and zoomed in. This invention gives you a better image/picture. I think that photosynth is a very interesting technology, but I probably wouldn't ever use it. Personally this invention doesn't apply to me.

One Laptop Per Child

The video "One Laptop Per Child" is about how the XO company is giving laptops to children who live in poorer and less fortunate countries all over the world. These laptops will allow children to use them and learn. They can become connected to each other through the Internet. These laptops are able to be plugged in and charged that way, but they can be charged by attaching a crank and cranking it till it is charged. The screen is also lit by sunlight, so that by lighting the monitor it isn't taking power away from the children's laptops. The laptops also have Internet so the children can go on and learn different things on the Internet. With the Internet children can also be connected to each other through there. The laptop also has a touch and swivel screen. Laptops have already been given to poorer countries and the children their have started to use them. Any who wants to can help these children receive laptops because they have a Give One, Get One program. This is where you can help out and buy a laptop for a less fortunate child. You can also watch Zimi's story and learn more about how it helps these children.
