Have you ever been texting during the day but then the sun gets in your way and makes it hard to see the screen and words? Annoying isn’t it? Well a compansy called Epson has come up with new technology that helps you see it better. The product is called the ‘Photo Find High Reflect’ and it helps you see the screen better by using the natural light, that normally makes it hard to see, to light up the screen. Lets hope we get to use it

You know how some of us – A lot of us wear glasses? We also always change our clothes, so why not get glasses to match our clothing?  They may be too expensive but there are a pair of glasses that you can make any color you want just by using water – based ink.  These glasses are th RbG Rainbow Glasses. They are made of hollow plastic frames that can be emptied out at the end of the day. You just need to fill them with ink. You can make them any color you want even clear.

These are my accomplishments for the project Mrs. Martin has assigned my class and I. Last week i took notes and did research on the constitution.  My partner Alex and me both decided what parts we were to have and what we were to do. We started to work on our parts and i am finishing up the brochure right now. Hopefully we get a good grade.

A woman named Katherine Houreld has written an article about how the Ol Pejeta Conservation, a private ranch in Kenya and a group dedicated to saving elephants called Save the Elephants are using an animal collar that is GMS/ GPS based. The collars are put on the elephants and other animals to track and monitor their movements and locations. A group of biologists placed a collar on an elephant named Kimani. The collar allows park rangers to track where Kimani is using Google Earth and Google Maps. It also allows them to monitor its locations at all times. The elephant would sometimes roam away from where the reservation was to go raid farms for crops. The park rangers would get a signal when this would happen thanks to the collar.

When you visist Diani Beach in Kenya, you might see something swinging across a bridge high above a freeway. You might wonder what that is, well if you are then its a monkey. These monkeys are called Angolan Colobus monkeys and they are Kenya’s rarest monkeys. The bridges they are swinging on are called Colobridges. They were made so the monkeys would stop crossing the highway and stop risking their lives. These monkeys would sometimes get run over and die. Each bridge costs about five hundred dollars but they are worth it. These monkeys now use the colobridges instead of the highway. These bridges really helped.
