My reflection on the country research project is that I mostly liked the project. Some of the thing i liked included that I got to learn more about Sweden and other peoples countrys that they did. Their wasnt anything that i really didnt like anout this project. The one thing i would change is I would let two people do the same country so we could se whos is better. I was kind of nervous about presenting but once i went up there i wasnt really.

Script

My project is on Mother Teresa. For those of you who don’t know who she is I am going to tell you. She was born on August 26th, 1910, in Skopje, Macedonia. At the age of 12 she very strongly felt the influence of god. As a kid she always appreciated the work that people all over the world did for organizations. At the age of eighteen she left her parents’ home in Skopje and joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with missions in India.

             From 1931 to 1948 Mother Teresa taught at St. Mary’s High School in Calcutta, India. The suffering and poverty she glimpsed outside the convent walls made such a deep impression on her that 1948 she received permission from her superiors to leave the convent school and devote her to working among the poorest slums in Calcutta. Among this time she started many charities to help people throughout the world. Her Charities provide effective help to the poorest countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. They also undertake work in the wake of natural disasters such as floods, epidemics, famine, and for refugees. The order also has houses in North America, Europe, and Australia, where they take care of shut-ins, alcoholics, the homeless, and AIDS sufferers. Along with Co-Workers, the lay missionaries of charity try to follow Mother Teresa’s spirit and positive attitude in their families.

            Mother Teresa’s work has been recognized and acclaimed throughout the world she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII peace prize(1971), the Nehru prize for her promotion of the international peace and understanding(1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1972), and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards. In 1971, she traveled to New York City where she opened a soup kitchen as well as a home to care for those infected with HIV/AIDS. Then, in 1979, Mother Teresa won her highest honor when she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her work "in bringing help to suffering humanity."

            After several years of deteriorating health in which she suffered from Heart, Lung, and Kidney problems, Mother Teresa died on September 5, 1997 at the age of 87.

What  I have learned so far this year in Online Expierence A includes Identity theft, Cyber bullying, Online safety, Creating safe passwords, and using a RSS feed. The thing i liked learning about the most is identity theft because I find that some of the cases can be really interesting and an adventure trying ti find the person that is commiting the crime.I also liked watching the movie about identity theft and how it happens and what they can do to stop or prevent it. That is what my reflections are so far this year in class.
RSS Feed Assignment 1. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. 2. It works by you subscribing to a web site then all of the websites you subscribe to will show up in one place. 3. Two benefits are that the audience will stay up to date on what is going on in the website and the authors most recent posts will be seen. 4. A RSS feed is a site where you can follow all different sites and it will show up on one page. A feed reader is a is a website where headlines are collected from different sites, and a Aggregator is an Internet company that collects information about competing products and services and distributes it through a single Web site. 5. The Google reader is the RSS feed for Google. 6. To sign up for an RSS feed you have to have an account with the website you would like to use such as An Igoogle for Google. 7. To use a RSS feed website is free of cost to everyone.

Apple's Patent Background

Many computing devices are equipped with power saving features/modes intended to reduce power consumption when a user is not using the devices. Often, these power saving features are implemented though timers that count down a set amount of time from when the user last provides an input to the device. For example, a particular device may be configured to enter a sleep mode, or other mode that consumes less power than a fully operational mode, when a user has not provided input for five minutes.
