History of The frist Mouse

In the 1960s, Doug Engelbart's Augmentation of Human Intellect project at the Augmentation Research Center at SRI International in Menlo Park, California developed the oN-Line System (NLS). This computer incorporated a mouse-driven cursor and multiple windows used to work on hypertext. Engelbart had been inspired, in part, by the memex desk-based information machine suggested by Vannevar Bush in 1945.Much of the early research was based on how children lean.

A Twisted Spells

A twisted spell is a set of wickedly funny words that when spoken unleashes a great evil on the world.

Twisted spell casting is very dangerous to the user and anyone around them because it causes people to laugh hysterically at the clever spells they come up with.

If you attempt a twisted spell, it could lead to the world's end. One possible outcome of twisted spell casting is that you may be turned into a gingerbread skeleton!

Then your zombie friends will laugh...

Nyan Cat

Why is Nyan Cat so bothersome?
I think it is the addictive tune.

I am now going to go watch nyan cat.

 I respectfully say, Good bye.

The History of Bagels

 It was actually invented much earlier in Kraków, Poland, as a competitor to the bublik, a lean bread of wheat flour designed for Lent.

 Leo Rosten wrote in "The Joys of Yiddish" about the first known mention of the word bajgiel in the "Community Regulations" of the city of Kraków in 1610, which stated that the item was given as a gift to women in childbirth (like comfort food).

 In the 16th and first half of the 17th centuries, the bajgiel became a staple of the Polish national diet, and a staple of the Slavic diet generally.

That the name originated from beugal (old spelling of Bügel, meaning bail/bow or bale) is considered plausible by many, both from the similarities of the word and because traditional handmade bagels are not perfectly circular but rather slightly stirrup-shaped. (This, however, may be due to the way the boiled bagels are pressed together on the baking sheet before baking.) Also, variants of the word beugal are used in Yiddish and Austrian German to refer to a somewhat similar form of sweet filled pastry (Mohnbeugel (with poppy seeds) and Nussbeugel (with ground nuts), or in southern German dialects (where beuge refers to a pile, e.g., holzbeuge, or woodpile). According to the Merriam-Webster's dictionary, 'bagel' derives from the transliteration of the Yiddish 'beygl', which came from the Middle High German 'böugel' or ring, which itself came from 'bouc' (ring) in Old High German, similar to the Old English 'bēag' '(ring), and 'būgan' (to bend or bow). Similarly another etymology in the Webster's New World College Dictionary says that the Middle High German form was derived from the Austrian German 'beugel', a kind of croissant, and was similar to the German 'bügel', a stirrup or ring.


In the Brick Lane district and surrounding area of London, England, bagels, or as locally spelled "beigels" have been sold since the middle of the 19th century. They were often displayed in the windows of bakeries on vertical wooden dowels, up to a metre in length, on racks.

Bagels were brought to the United States by immigrant Polish-Jews, with a thriving business developing in New York City that was controlled for decades by Bagel Bakers Local 338, which had contracts with nearly all bagel bakeries in and around the city for its workers, who prepared all the bagels by hand. The bagel came into more general use throughout North America in the last quarter of the 20th century, which was due at least partly to the efforts of bagel baker Harry Lender and Florence Sender, who pioneered automated production and distribution of frozen bagels in the 1960s.

Fun Fact:

Canadian-born astronaut Gregory Chamitoff is the first person known to have taken a batch of bagels into space on his 2008 Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station. His shipment consisted of 18 sesame seed bagels.

Object 3: Olduvai Handaxe

The Olduvai hand axe it was in Olduvai Gorge Tanzania. The axe was made about green volcanic rock the lava represents a tradition of tool-making which began about 1.6 million years ago.

The makers of handaxes are the first humans to spread across Africa into Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Asia. No other humanly made object has ever been manufactured over such a long period and before the 20th century no other object has spread over such a wide geographical area. The handaxe was found in 1931 by Louis Leakey.

SAT Essay: Do like people get along?

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

Common sense tells us that people tend to get along better with those who are like them, who think and act as they do. Many people, however, get along very well with people who are very different from them and may prefer to associate with those whose views and actions are different from their own. In fact, some people even complain that they are bored and irritated by those who are too much like them. 

ASSIGNMENT:

Do people tend to get along better with people who are very different from them or with those who are like them? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

ESSAY: 

I think it is easier to get along with people who have different interests than you because it gives you more to talk about.While having a similar personality or mindset helps you get along better with people, you don't necessarily have to have the same interests.

I once became friends with someone because we both had an interest in film. Over time, we both lost some of our interest in film, but our friendship continued because we had similar personalities - we're both gamers!

While gaming is considered an interest, it is also a way of being:

Use the controller, Luke! 

I am your hard drive!

When you make friends with someone who has different interests than you do, there's never a quiet moment! Having plenty to think and talk about with your friends is one of cornerstones of building a happy friendship.

SAT Essay-Is Learning It's Own Reward?

Common sense tells us that people tend to get along better with those who are like-minded, who think and act as they do. Many people, however, get along very well with people who are very different from them and may prefer to associate with thsoe whose views and actions are different from their own. In fact, some people even complain that they are bored and irritated by those who are too much like them.


THE ASSIGNMENT:

Do people tend to get along better with people who are very different from them or with those who are like them? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

MY ESSAY

I  do not believe it is wrong or harmful to motivate people to learn or achieve something by offering them a reward. When you offer someone a reward, they strive for the reward but they also learn at the same time.

First of all, people get excited when they are offered a reward. They learn easier and are more cheerful about the work that goes behind learning.

On top of that, people learn easier when they are in a good mood. When you visualize a reward, it is a happy thought to think about winning it. This can result in more motivation to study and push yourself.

Lastly, when people feel good about what they are doing, they tend to want to do more of it. Making learning a positive experience can lead to people thinking about learning as positive in general. When you see learning as a fun, positive experience, you look for new things to learn every day because it is fun!

 "Super" before a word, everything sounds SuperCool!

This summer there is going to be the fastest super computer it is going to be called Yellowstone and it is supposed to messier hurricanes and ternatios, and there is a short clip.

Codecademy

"Codeacademy is a website where you can learn the basics of Javascript, which is one of the most used languages on the Internet. "Here's a few screen shots from my first 90 minutes exploring this site."

I have done this for a 1 hr. and  30 mins. so in that time i got to 5. The first section is called "Getting to Know You, Part 1" This lesson is petty short and i have taken some screen shots of the section so you can see.

 

Another tool you can use to practice code writing is Scratch Pad."

PC's

PCs can range from high-powered super computers to long lasting mini computers. 

One of my favorite computers is the Alienware M17xR3. Moderately priced at $1500, Alienware is the first 3D-capable gaming laptop.

Now, you can take the action of gaming on the road! For someone like me, who travels internationally, this is the ultimate traveling companion! 

No more will gamers be stuck in their bedrooms with oversized computing equipment!  

Now, thanks to Alienware, you can save the earth while waiting for your plane at an airport, waiting for your mom to finish one of her marathon meetings, or simply, hanging out with friends at a café in Paris.
