Change the world

    If I had to choose a future career it would be to star on Broadway. I hope that music and theater could not benefit me but the world we live in as well. We had and still do lots of musical performers such as Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, ad Maroon 5. I wish I could go around the world and share my music with those who need it the most like people who live in bad parts of country's or young kids in hospitals. To me music and the arts are a wonderful thing and I hope that some day dreams come true.

                                        Ubisoft will release virtual reality games in 2016

My tech article this week is about Ubisoft creating reality games and will maybe be released in 2016. Company chief Yves Guillemot tells investors that Ubi is developing a certain number of titles that will take advantage of VR devices once they start reaching stores in in 2016. The challenge is building games that suit the virtual environment, it's hard to play for a long time with a display strapped to your head. I hope that they develop good games.

My invisible cloak good deed

Today I was chosen by the government to wear an invisible cloak and perform a good deed without recognition. It's just one good deed with so many options; should I save the rain-forest, help an elderly lady cross the highway or stop robbers from getting away with stolen money. It took me a while but I've decided to help animals in need. I put on the cloak and traveled around town looking for any animal in need.

                                                                             

 I went all around town and spotted a dog in a burning house. Firemen rush to the rescue but can't find the dog. This was my chance to perform a good deed. The cloak is fire proof so I'll be ok. I rush in and spot the dog under the bed. I rush in and get the dog. I get out with the dog and give it to the owner who is very happy but a little frightened of her dog floating in the air. As soon as my good deed is up the cloak disperses and I continue doing good deeds whenever I can.

New Class

If our school had a new class I would suggest wood-shop. Wood shop is a good class to teach students how to build stuff with wood like wooden chairs or birdhouses. This class would be an elective and students will come in third, forth, fifth, sixth, and seventh period. If it's an after activity students would meet at 3:00 to 4:00. I think this class is a good way for students to gain self confidence and motivate them to do their best.

This class would make you feel like you are in a construction site. In this class I judge on creativity and class participation. Tests in this class counts as 40% of your grade. Participation counts as 30%. Most importantly, creativity counts as 30% of your grade. This class is an easy A, all you have to do is pay attention and show some creative spirit.

Wiki opinion

                  Wikipedia can be a useful website for certain things. This website is useful for looking up information a celebrity or a movie but not for writing a research paper on Abraham Lincoln or World War one or two. The reason why Wikipedia is not useful for writing a research paper is because anonymous people can go on and change information to make it wrong so if you want to write about the Holocaust and you go on Wikipedia then make sure you know your information really well because some of the information you are reading may not be correct. I recommend that if you are using the internet for reliable information for a research paper do not go on Wikipedia because some information may just be a random person changing information. 

Spring Break

     

            School is a great place for you to get an education but what I really like about school is Spring break. Spring break is good for you because then you can take a rest and relax after all the "hard work" us students have to do. My Spring break was relaxing and time to myself, when I was home. Through most of my time off I was still in school but I wasn't learning anything school related, I was learning some dance numbers and stage direction for our schools upcoming production of footloose, hope you will come to see the show.

             

           When I wasn't at rehearsal I was home with my family, and when they weren't around I would just spend some time to myself. I spent most of my time with my seven year old and two year old cousins Kyleigh and Logan. Kyleigh like to come over our house a lot and when she comes over there is a good chance of her brother, my younger cousin, Logan being there too. When those two come over they do the same thing every time, Kyleigh likes to follow me around and wants to do everything I want to while Logan on the other hand stomps around like a little godzilla destroying everything in her path. So my Spring break wasn't much but I just enjoyed some time to myself when I wasn't at play or with my two crazy cousins. I hope that next years Spring break will be even better.

                             Yes, you can replace the Apple Watch battery (through Apple)


                          

• If your Apple Watch battery runs dry then you can go and get it replaced.
• Apple has confirmed to TechChurch that the battery is replaceable by Apple no less.
• There is no mention of how much a replacement costs but a quick look at the fine print on product page shows that you will get a warranty coverage if your battery has lost 50 percent or more.
• There is still hope that you can get a battery swap every 7 year vintage cycle.
• That wouldn't stop other components from being outdated.

Web 2.0 Multimedia Blog Pre-Posting

   In the Wood-Ridge Jr/HS we have a great choir class and glee club. Both of these is taught by Mrs. Manolakakis who has been the vocal music teacher for eleven years. I have known her since I was nine years old. This class and after school club has helped me get a greater understanding of music and I hope to take the stuff I learned and fulfill my dream of becoming a famous musician.
 
  When I first took the class I did not expect to have as much fun. But as soon as I started to sing I knew that singing was my passion and it still is today. So far I have learned how to read music and sing in my falsetto. I have also learned how to sing the high notes even though I still have a little trouble because I am a tenor which is the high male voice and yes I know, "high male voice," but not that high. Mrs. Mano to me is the best music teacher ever and I hope to take what she taught me and sing for as long as I can.

   Her class is easy to pass, all you need to do is go to the concerts and you get extra credit on your final exam and if you pay attention in her class, and she knows if your are or not, you will do fine. I also think that the trips are so much fun like when we go to Paper mill Playhouse and see really great shows that I will never forget, or when the glee club sang on news 12 for Sounds of the Season that I also will never forget. When we sing at the winter and spring concerts I fell like I am on a Broadway stage. Singing is my passion, and I know I've already said this but without music I don't know what would become of me.
