My Matching Cluster

For my matching cluster I got Education and Training. For this I would have to be able to work vary well with others and maintain myself in harsh situation and keep everything under control. Also i could influence young lives if I were to become a teacher. Or I could also be a counselor, librarian, or principal. But in my opinion this would not be a good job for me because I have vary low patience and would get annoyed vary easily so I don't know why I was even listed for this job. I would actually like to go into cosmetology.

Technology Article

                     

                        Technology Article


   Their are so many people trying to come up with new ways to prevent texting while driving and some have had good ideas. Some are that they installed Bluetooth in some newer cars so that way you can set your phone up to it and can use the calling through your car. Others have made some new phones with Siri so you can just speak a text or speak who you want to call. But in most ways it would just be a lot better to not worry about needing to call or text while you drive you should say focused on the road and where you need to go.

Project Wrap-Up Assignment

                                    Google Docs wrap up


What I liked about Google Docs is that it is vary simple to use all you need is the internet you can share things with your friends and have a personal chat and everything is organized well easy to find what you need. Also some of the things that I dislike about Google Docs is that some of the things are a little hard to understand at first and that's about it.I did like being able to work on the same document as my partner because we didn't have to get up all the time and ask each other questions all the time. We could help  the other person easily right from where we are sitting and they could help me. Honestly I like Google Docs the way it is its all vary simple all you need to do is mess around one it and learn how to do the things you need to do then you can use it no problem. But over all I think mine and my partners  project went vary well and hopefully get a good grade on it.

Well starting May 1, 2013 Apple will no longer store or provide apps that uses the software UDIDs. Also Apple is asking all users you update there phones and delete any apps that will not update from this change. Nothing is really said about what apps use this software so i'm not really sure witch ones will no longer be in use. Its kinda mostly used for tracking so apple will no longer be able to track its users.

Harriet Tubman


                                   Harriet Tubman
                                        
1820 - 1913
Born 1819.  Araminta Ross Harriet Tubman was born into slavery in 1819 or 1820, in Dorchester County, Maryland. Given the names of her two parents, both held in slavery, she was of purely African ancestry. She was raised under harsh conditions, and subjected to whippings even as a small child. She slept as close to the fire as possible on cold nights and sometimes stuck her toes into the smoldering ashes to avoid frostbite. Cornmeal was her main source of nutrition and occasionally meat of some kind as her family had the privilege to hunt and fish. Most of her early childhood was spent with her grandmother who was too old for slave labor. At age six, Tubman was old enough to be considered able to work. She did not work in the fields though. Edward Brodas, her master, lent her to a couple who first put her to work weaving she was beaten frequently. When she slacked off at this job the couple gave her the duty of checking muskrat traps.
Tubman caught the measles while doing this work. The couple thought she was incompetent and took her back to Brodas. When she got well, she was taken in by a woman as a housekeeper and baby-sitter. Tubman was whipped during the work here and was sent back to Brodas after eating one of the woman's sugar cubes. At the age of 25, she married John Tubman, a free African American who did not share her dream. Since she was a slave, she knew there could be a chance that she could be sold and her marriage would be split apart. Harriet dreamed of traveling north. Harriet was given a piece of paper by a white abolitionist neighbor with two names, and told how to find the first house on her path to freedom. At the first house she was put into a wagon, covered with a sack, and driven to her next destination. And kind enough to give her directions to safe houses and names of people who would help her cross the Mason-Dixon Line. She then hitched a ride with a woman and her husband who were passing by. They were abolitionists and took her to Philadelphia. Here, Harriet got a job where she saved her pay to help free slaves. She also met William Still. Still was one of the Underground Railroad's busiest "station masters." In September of the same year, Harriet was made an official "conductor" of the UGRR. This meant that she knew all the routes to free territory and she had to take an oath of silence so the secret of the Underground Railroad would be kept secret. She also made a second trip to the South to rescue her brother James and other friends. They were already in the process of running away so Harriet aided them across a river and to the home of Thomas Garret. He was the most famous Underground "Stationmaster" in history. Harriet's third trip was in September 1851.
She went to get her husband, John, but he had remarried and did not want to leave. So she went back up North. Harriet went to Garret's house and found there were more runaways (which were referred to as passengers) to rescue than anticipated. That did not stop her though. She gave a baby a sedative so he would not cry and took the passengers into Pennsylvania. The trip was long and cold but they did reach the safe house of Frederick Douglas. He kept them until he had collected enough money to get them to Canada. He received the money so she and her eleven passengers started the journey to Canada. To get into Canada, they had to cross over Niagara Falls on a handmade suspension bridge which would take them into the city of St. Catherine. As Harriet Tubman aged, the sleeping spells and suffering from her childhood head trauma continued to plague her. At some point in the late 1890s, she underwent brain surgery at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital. Unable to sleep because of pains and "buzzing" in her head, she asked a doctor if he could operate. He agreed, and in her words, "sawed open my skull, and raised it up, and now it feels more comfortable. She had received no anesthesia for the procedure, and reportedly chose instead to bite down on a bullet, as she had seen Civil War soldiers do when their limbs were amputated. By 1911, her body was so frail that she had to be admitted into the rest home named in her honor. A New York newspaper described her as "ill and penniless", prompting supporters to offer a new round of donations. Surrounded by friends and family members, Harriet Tubman died of pneumonia on March 10, 1913. Just before she died, she told those in the room: "I go to prepare a place for you."

ID theft and my thoughts on deputy Krupp's speach

My thoughts on ID theft
 And what i learned from deputy Krupp about online safety 
To me ID theft is a crime that is not being treated as it should. I don't think enough people understand it and how bad it can actually get, It could potentially ruin your life or mess up your credit score.
So more people should stand up and stand out against this and open there eyes to the possible chance that this could happen to you at anytime so you need to take the right steps in preventing ID theft on yourself.
As for online safety I personally no matter how hard we all try I don't ever think being online will ever be safe your information can always get out, your accounts can get hacked, on any web chat you go on there could always be that chance of getting cyber bullied or get sexually harassed.
All you could really do is watch the things you put online, be aware of the passable things that could and may happen and talk to your parents ask them if they feel if the site you want to go on is safe or not. You may not want to because you think "oh well its dumb to ask my parents that there is no point to it" well really there is they could be the ones who can stop you from being harassed but once you go online there is nothing they can do.
