...phones and so on. We use computers to do business with programs like Microsoft Word and also to communication with email or Skype. No doubt we save time, paper and shorten distance because of computers. For one recent example, people were amazed to know that smart phones can change our life style. For instance, we just started to use smart phones which can take pictures, surf the internet, play games, set an alarm and take notes on the phone. There is a variety of function in one smart phone.

...As Maria Robinson once said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Nothing could be closer to the truth. But before you can begin this process of transformation you have to stop doing the things that have been holding you back. Here are some ideas to get you started: 1. Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends. 2. Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on. No, it won’t be easy. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That’s not how we’re made. In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become. 3. Stop lying to yourself. – You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you can’t lie to yourself. Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult...

...The Road Less Traveled On Throughout life we have all encountered and overcome obstacles thrown in our paths. Life is a journey, life is like a road. Everyone is on this road and everyone has a destination. The windiness and bumpiness of the road, the stops we make, and the directions we choose to go are the things that make our journey and lives different. Goals are the most important stops and the final destination in the road of life. To be without goals, is to drive an unknown road without a map. No set destination can be achieved without an attempt at plans or directions. Some roads are shorter than others, due to life choices or life obstacles. Many people make choices that cause them to crash and others sometimes just need a little tow from a friend to get their lives back in the right direction on the road. Life is a road we are on, it is our destiny to choose where our road takes us, this I believe. Despite young age, many of us have encountered hardships beyond our years. Many people have overcome poverty, peer pressure, and the loss of loved ones. I personally have dealt with all these. One of the biggest bumps in my road has been the loss of a close aunt, she was like a second mother to me. I felt like giving up on my goals and my path, depression led to a lack of motivation. However, I continued driving through the rocky patch of road I was on. Both a hardship and blessing, I now am a teenage father. The statement by Drew...

...water resource is water pollution. This is cause by different problem when we dump garage, chemicals in the water, oil, and human waste in rivers and ocean. Water pollution have many different causes it makes it hard sometimes to resolve this issue. Sewage is one of the main causes of water pollution. This type of water pollution affects our lives in many ways. Over billions of people on this earth dispose of sewage waste a lot. When you dispose of sewage in any lakes, rivers, and ocean it takes a affect on our health and living condition. Many people do not realize that water pollution is very important and many people can get sick from it. I believe a good management plan will alleviate the problem of water pollution. Water pollution needs to have strict laws of waste and fuel dumping. They need certain people to go out and do testing on these lakes, rivers, and ocean to make sure that no one is dumping anything into the water. We should also have a machine that clean the water every so often. Making sure that it will collect all the trash and waste. The government needs to make s person pay a fine if they get caught polluting the water. I do not understand of where anyone should have a opposing view of water pollution. My view will be making sure that this world stop polluting the water. This problem is for our safety and health. There are many people who do no even care if the water is being polluted. How can this world or the government let some types of water pollution...

...especially bus stops. A small town needs all the support it can receive. A big boost of that support comes from bus stops. They allow for savings economically and delete any inconvenience of the citizens not having transportation to work. In order for any small community to be successful; there must be jobs and people willing to work. This is just a harsh reality of life. In Ottumwa, Iowa, there are plenty of people with work and plenty of people willing to work. There is only one problem that is restricting these motivated people from work. That is that there is very little public transportation. Some people need this in order to get from one place to another, especially if it is to their work. It is understood that we are living in an age that most people have vehicles; the key word there is "most." Not everyone has a vehicle that they are blessed with. In a mostly middle class and poor community that is notably true. From personal experience, living in Ottumwa for twelve years, I have seen that this is accurate. How does a community expect to strive in having a strong core if they cannot provide the simple use of public transportation? The amount of benefits that comes with building more bus stops in this town is extraordinary; to the point where it would not make sense to get it done. The benefits range from, economic savings, not only to the community but also the citizens using bus stops, to making the environment safer by decreasing co2 emissions. There is one bus stop in the...

Smith said that they used his daughter's set of small circus dolls, that had jointed limbs to keep balanced and move. Comment: The Humpty Dumpty Circus is the first short that used stop motion technique by using jointed limbs dolls to make animation. It absorbs this techniques from filming then improved and applied them in animation well. This skill makes things vivid. When people are watching it, they will feel there is a kind of magic to make dolls move. The Humpty Dumpty Circus created a new way for conducting animation. After this short showed, a...

X Controlled variables: Throw it with the same force in each throw, and same angle of the throw. Materials: Stop watch 3 pieces of A4 paper to make paper planes 1 balance 12 paperclips Method: Make 3 ordinary paper planes from A4 sheet of paper Find someone who is willing to throw the paper plane for all the trials in the experiment. Take the paper plane and weigh it using the balance (weighing scale), to note down its mass. Find an open space for the plane to fly freely and take your planes there. Throw 1 paper plane from shoulder level and start the stop watch at the same time of the throw. Stop the stop watch the moment when the plane touches the ground. Record your data and repeat steps 4-6 four more times. For the second trial, add 1 paperclip to each wing and weigh the plane before testing the throw and note down the mass. ( see diagram below) Throw the plane with the 2 paperclips as a total from shoulder level and start the stop watch at the same time of the throw.

...a clothing company based in Los Angeles, California. I make deliveries to the following cities Riverside CA, Phoenix AZ, Albuquerque NM, El Paso TX, Denver CO. The problem I am facing is I need to get these deliveries delivered within a 48 period. I first begin by calculating the distance from each location to the next. Los Angeles to Riverside – 58.5 miles approximately 1h 55min Riverside to Phoenix, AZ – 322.6 miles approximately 4h 47min Phoenix AZ to Albuquerque, NM – 421.6 miles approximately 6h 31min Albuquerque NM to El Paso TX– 267.5 miles approximately 3h 48min El Paso TX to Denver CO– 636.6 miles approximately 9h 43min To me the best way to complete this delivery would be to start closest to home and move up the map to the nearest state. I research map quest to determine approximately how long it will take me to travel from state to state. I then determine when and where I will need to stop to rest and eat. I can knock out 3 stops in the first day because of their distance. Considering Los Angeles traffic I have to be on the road very early to avoid traffic, therefore I plan to leave at 5 am Monday morning. I can be in Riverside by 6 am to make the delivery and take 30 minute stop for $5 breakfast and restroom break. I can then be in Phoenix by 11 am to make my 2nd delivery, stop to have my lunch that I brought with me and make it to Albuquerque by 6 pm for my 3rd delivery. That is my last stop for the evening. I find a hotel for $60 for the night and...
