New tv discoveries


So what this article is talking about is a mobile tv that you can go anywhere and get regular channels. this is really big because all you used to be able to get is really unreliable video and not the normal broadcast channel only videos. its also cool because you can have it on phones, net books, laptops, and any other wireless device with the special add-on. well they are going to start sales this year so next year they should have found all th bugs and people should be able to get tv on any wireless things. I couldn't find any setbacks.

Space and aviation post


The article i read was about the new A40oM it is a new military cargo plane that is big enough to hold the bulkiest military tanks and helicopters. The reason this is so cool is because partly of the engines these engines can take that craft to jet like speeds and altitude while hauling LOADS of cargo. Another reason is because what it is made of, its made partly of carbon-fiber composite this makes it so it can haul a lot more because the metal isn't weighing it down and so it can land on small strips. Nothing is happening to it in 2010 but in 2013 the company will make its first deliveries to a French buyer. But, six months ago they had a huge software glitch on its engines and some of the Ukrainian buyers were going to cancel their orders.

TT reflection


Project description
Basically for this project we were given an ancient civilization that we had to write a research paper about. Using that paper we had to send an item back in time to help that civilization survive.
Process
The steps I took for the research paper were, I made a rough draft to get the idea of the paper and using that draft I made improvements and made it more specific and a better draft. That was my first draft then after that I got it edited by Charlotte who gave feedback and made the necessary changes.
The steps Ihttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif took for the pillar is doing a draft and then making a better draft then using the draft to make it.
Reflection
I learned a lot in this project such as how to make a really good introduction and conclusion paragraph. I think that that was one of my biggest challenges of the paper because I didn't know anything about those paragraphs so it was really hard for me to make a very good one. I think I would do a lot of the same but one thing I would have done different is that I would have done a better bibliography and would have sited better sources rather then just wiki. This will really help me later because it taught me how to write a good research paper which will really help me for all of the other papers I do.
