First Time on iTunes

I have just used iTunes for the first time today. I used it for finding podcasts. It was a new and interesting experience. Some of the podcasts took a long time to load but that problem was probably with the computer. But podcasts really gave me a bigger view on the outside world.

My Family

My family comes from all over. They are all different races, different ages, and they have different personalities, different beliefs, my family members are all different. Anyone who loves me and cares for me is my family. Those who are there for me and whom I can trust are a part of my family.
My family could be those who are related to me by blood or marriage. The list of last names that the people in this category goes on forever. My my family heritage tree has bunches of last names: Reese, Sanz, Camins, Ivenoff, Garcia, Rominquet, Naluce, Manensala, and many more.
My family could also be my friends and their family. I consider Kim, Morgan, Jocelyn, and Melissa my sisters. There families look at me like another daughter. My other girl friends and my guy friends are all a part of my family. My family are those who are close to my relatives and friends that soon become close to me.
There has never been a time in my life when it was possible for me to have all my family together. My family is so extended. Whenever there are get-togethers they are always full of fun, laughter, talk, and drama. But I love my family with all my heart.

Copyright Law

Copyrighting is the law that protects works of authors, artists, companies, etc. from being copied. We have the copyright law to reserve the right of credit. It prevents money being taken from companies, people, and so forth. It makes copying of materials, that should be bough, illegal.
Copyright protects the work of people from being copied and losing credit. There are copyright laws to keep people from losing credit and money. But it allows the public the right to use a fair amount of the work for good purposes.
Fair use is knowing what and how much of someone else’s work you can use. Fair use does not give the public the right to use whatever it wants. There are limits to what is fair.
Copyrighted work can not be put on a a school website without written permission because that is nto fair use. The owner of the work would lose credit. Almost everything on the web is copyrighted.

Creative commons means "some rights reserved."

Fuzzy Logic

Dragon Science teaches about Fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic is giving machines the ability to act and solve problems the way a human does. The idea of fuzzy logic was created by Lotfi Zadeh, in the 1960s at the University of California at Berkeley. The idea soon spread to Japan, then China. Now China has the most specialist working on fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic will be less expensive.
I think that it is an interesting idea. It seems great and helpful. But I'm also scared that soon machine will take jobs that humans do and the machines can start running the world. While more and more humans go jobless.

The Meaning of Family

When I hear the word "family" I don't think of just people that I am related to by blood and marriage. I think of all the people close to me. People who are in my life no matter what happens. Someone who cares and I can trust. My family is full of relatives, friends, and even pets. Family is simply a group of people that will never purposely hurt you and will be there if someone else does. They are a group of people that supports one another.
My family is full of a variety of people. There are relatives, close friends of mine and my relatives. There are multiple generations in my family.
The quote, "Families evolve from a patchwork of possibilities" means that family comes from all over. There are mulitple possibilities about your family. It can be different races, skills, assets that you didn't know people had.
From a family of two can expand to millions. If I consider my best friend my family, her sister is connected to my family, so her sister's best friend is a family member to all three of us in someway. So everyone is connected one way or another. If you are mean to one person on this earth then you are being mean to a part of your family. Every person of your family is a patch of long green grass. If you destroy one person, there will be a brown spot on the grass.

Its Done: Overlook of our Project

This project was very interesting. I learned a lot on how you should break down paired projects into different parts and to make a plan. We finally turned in the project to Mr. Hinman and presented it to the class. It turned out okay. We should've edited it a little more.
Some feedback we got was that we should make sure that we record interviews so that the interviewer and the interviewee can be heard the same. Some people thought that we made a good choice in choosing our topic. However, some thought that it was useless and boring.
All in all, the project was a great experience for me. I learned a lot on how to work without specific guidelines. I really enjoyed doing projects like this.

Almost Done

After a lot hard work and thoughtful planning Katherine and myself have almost completed the whole project. We have finished the treatment. We made and distributed our surveys. We interviewed the two different sides. We also have our layout for the video done.
We just need to fix some little errors in making the videos play and we need to graph our surveys.
