How To Prevent Cancer

Infographic

An info graphic is a visual information tool used to express an idea. It is great for educating an audience because it not only includes text and statistics,but also visuals that are engaging. It is similar to PowerPoint except it is a single slide or poster. It is organized based on topics,subtopics, data, and the conclusion/thesis. I don't prefer to use info graphics because they become more work than what they are worth. I usually find them tedious and not that needed. I would rather do a visual using Publisher, and I would prefer not to do a visual at all. All major and professional documents do not have visuals. News articles, districtations, and medical articles. They may have one picture or image but the bulk is devoted to text and evidence/data. Info-graphics can be helpful, but they are not very practical in the long term.

Agricultural Drones   

The story is based off California winemaker and drone operator Ryan Kunde. Drones doe Kunde are a simply low-cost aerial camera platform. They can monitor temperature, cloud formations, crop locations, crop yields, and many other important farming factors. This is all taking place in California just outside of San Francisco. The drone also take aerial infrared photographs to monitor the water intake and heat of the crops. It is also much cheaper than crop imagining with a manned aircraft, which can run $1,000 an hour. It is all leading toward the trend of data-driven agriculture.

This relates to emerging technologies because drones are becoming more prominent in today’s world. They are used in military actions all over the world, and have become quite controversial. Drones are also under production for the use of mail transfer for Amazon. Here, we find they have a very practical and powerful use in gathering data about agriculture. This technology is affordable and can lead to higher crop yields. That would have a ripple effect all around the world that could greatly reduce world hunger and famine.

Interesting fact: The drone can fly up to speeds of 150mph and remain as close to the crops as 120 meters.

Do less with more focus

Do less with more focus. To me that means that with more focus you can be more productive and get things done in a quicker fashion. It could also mean that you should sacrifice the extrinsic tasks and pay more ficus to the significant problems. I do believe that i love kira higgins certain problems are far more prominent than others, and it is those problems that deserve more attention so they're solutions become clear. Time is the most valuable resource in the world. You can never get more of  it. It is what you chose to do with that time that allows you to make the differences in the world.

Persuasive Essay

Study habits

The U.S. is 17th in education. China excels at math and India excels at science. The U.S.A. an its students are apathetic and lazy. They choose not to take their education seriously. It isn't attacking the U.S. i believe it is satirizing the problem and stereotype we face. Sure there is truth to the picture, but I think the artist is trying to reinforce the importance of effort towards education.

Homecoming Weekend

My homecoming weekend was pretty great. I worked a lot but i also have time to hangout with friends and get a lot done. I cleaned up the garage because my mom was coming home on Friday night an i knew it would cheer her up. I managed to do all of my laundry and homework also.
The best part was the times I got to see and talk to my best friend, Rye.
