RoboCon in Kenya

We have to write our post for the week, and Mr.Fsher gave us an Igoogle tab with bunch of interesting stuff on it and I came upon this post I can write mine form. The post is about colleges and University’s that had a competition were they built robots, Out of this came a bunch of interesting stuff, and how the technology grew in the past few years, just think that years ago there wasn’t even t.v. now there is robots and this is made by people in their middle college years. The Contest Original name is  ‘RoboCon Kenya 2009 Nairobi regional, this is only the first sneak peaks to go to the Original Website Click here, or This Website.That is the Original post and is on AfriGadget Website. The contest took place at Kenya Polytechnic, On Oct. 3rd . The contest is based to provide food for Kenya communities for Upkeep. They built the Robots to transport the food for Granary’s to different communities. The theme of RoboCon Kenya will be “Robotic For Enhancing Access To a Healthy Diet”. Those where the exact words from the original post. It is Interesting how the are going to use the Robots to carry Granary, and each Robot has some kind of small Platform that’s only few centimetre’s long for the Granary.

Here are some picture’s from the Website-

Last Chapters of The Wave

The last three years of footbal seasons sitting with Amy on a saturday afternoon has became a habit for Laurie, Laurie went watch the game that saturday, As she came there she was looking for Amy and on the top of the Aile there Amy sat, Laurie started hurrying up  towards Amy and then she heard someone yell stop, Laurie stoped and saw Brad running up to her And said you have to give the Wave Salute to go up  there, Laurie asked since when, since the Wave rally Yesterday , Brad said, but Laurie didn’t want to give the Wave Salute. 

Sunday  Afternoon Laurie and all the Grapevine Staff members took over the Saunders living room to make a special edition of the Grapvine to tell the other part of the Wave story, The Part were people are  trying to make kids join the Wave.  People that didn’t want to join the Wave parents would went and vidit the Principals office on Monday. Even the teacher are starting to see the principal. 

There was one thing Laurie had to do before the paper got published, and that was to tell Amy what is in the paper. But Amy dissagreed with Laurie about this edition and told her that she can’t publish that it is just wrong. But Laurie still went and published the paper, But that didn’t work the edition didn’t work. People all over thought what to make about it, but they didn’t believe the story. All they wanted to know is who would right such a thing about the Wave, and who would hate the Wave so much to make story’s up aout it, Altough it is true.  That night Brad and David waited about a block from the school, because they knew that when Laurie came from the Publicators office she walks that way on her way home. Laurie came out of the publicators office on her way to her locker to drop a book, on her way she drop the book in her locker and then she heard someone coming so she started walking faster and then she heard it came closer then she started running to the exit one of the doors on the exit was locked so she tried to go on the next one and got out, Mean while David saw Laurie coming them and he got out of the car and started walking towards her and then she saw him and  and start going faster but David catched up with her. They started talking about the Wave and said how she shoul’dn’t of rote that stuff about the Wave, but Laurie disagreed, so David went to far and grabed her to stop doing it but she still said no, then David pushed Laurie to ground and she started crying, David fell done and huged her and said saorry asking for forgiveness. That night Mr.Ross and Cristy had a fight about how they are going to end this but Mr.Ross had an Idea.  After that David and Laurie went to Ben’s house to tell him that he needs to put this to a stop. The next day at school sounded Mr. Ross was making to group even better. So David and Laurie spoke up and got sent to the office. Mr. Ross got all the Wave members together and told them that the Wave group is over and also showed the video that he showed the class at the starting of the book. Mr. Ross was sad that the group was over and so were all the kids that were in it.

I think that everthing went too far that they should of stoped it earlier. But it is good Mr.Ross put it to an end while he still could. I like the part were Mr. ROss didn’t think he was the leader. but the kids were there own leaders and then they would have undderstand a lot more how to lead a group, and I thimk they would’ve more dicipline. And I think the football team didn;t need any thing to help them with the Wave.

The book end well and If  they never stoped it, I think some one would have got killed. So it is good they stop it while they had a chance and that they didn’t go to far. And I bet that everthing from there would of went better. Though every body would still remember it and that it would happen in their heads over and over again.

Smartset Project 3

I came in contact with a guy and he agreed with me, even though Graffiti is a bad thing but it is done so good on the walls of Barcelona and that I think that Barcelona is so big in theatre work it is just so good the work the people do. Barcelona art is so big it is almost on every wall of Barcelona the tiles the colours even the Graffiti. Well there is all of this, then there is the statue and all of the other stuff. In Barcelona most of the museuns.

There are over 55 museums in Barcelona covering a plethora of subjects including art, history, architecture, science, sports, war and maritime. On this page we’ve reviewed just a few of the most popular ones and provided you with links to their web sites for further information. The architecture of Barcelona has been most influenced by the work of Antoni Gaudi. One of Gaudi’s greatest creations is the Sagrada Familia a giant Temple that has been under construction since 1882. This building is the number one most visited attraction in Barcelona catering to over 2,000,000 visitors per year. That is a third of a quater of the population of Barcelona just visiting one of the museums.

The building is the museum. La Pedrera is another of Gaudi’s creations and is the 2nd most visited of the museums in Barcelona after the Sagrada Familia. This is another beautiful p;ace in Barcelona and this is one of Barcelona’s Beautiful art.

This museum has many interesting archaeology exhibits cover periods during prehistoric times and ancient history. The curators have given particular emphasis on the archaeological remains from Catalunya. This museum is very interesting if you want to learn more about the ancient history of Catalunya and is well worth a visit if only for the novelty of subject material. For more information we recommend you visit their web sit. This Museums shows the history of all off these buildings that is created with art.

These are a few of the art places buildings that created art and is art of Barcelona.

The Wave Chapter 9 – 12

It Began whenBen Ross had begun to get unsure about The Wave and I think that is a good thting, What had begun as a simple history experiment has now spread all over the school and what I think is a problem. Mr. Ross noticed Improvements in the class and the change of preparation in the class’s work ( by that they started slaking down on their work. As the story continues at least something good had happen David had successfully ”infused” the football team with the Wave and that could be the only good thing. In the Grapevine publication’s office Laurie sat chewing on a big pen Laurie jump up and said ”We’ve got the same problem as usual and we don’t have enough stories for the news paper, and they talk about what to put because nothing interesting is happening in the school any more execpt for the wave That could be true. Mr. Ross was walking down the hallway he was making the salute of the wave to everybody while the children was hanging up stuff for the wave rally or used to be called the ”prep rally” were they are going to invite new people to the wave. the Mr.Owens (the principal) called Mr. Ross to his office. Ben was worried that he was in trouble because of The Wave aand I think Mr. Owens should had stop it at that moment!, but he wasn’t Mr. Owens just told him that he was not in trouble but isn’t this thing casing problems, Mr. Owens almost took it to a stop but at least he didn’t. In the publications office Laurie was sitting while Davis step in and ”Aren’t you coming to the Wave rally” she said no and then they started fighting and broke up ( That was a bad thing ). But when Laurie came into the  Grapevine offices she found a letter on the floor that said how people were making this kid  to join the wave Because, ”if he didn’t his friend wouldn’t be his friends anymore ( At least some one stands up for them selvs, but he didn’t want to and he had a weird feeling about the wave. But just after David left another guy that work at the grapevine office came in and he didn’t like the wave thin either and then another guy came in and he didn’t like it either. As Mr. Ross walked down the hallway  Robert ( ”The Guy who suddenly got cool” ) asked  Mr.Ross if he could be Mr.Ross’s Bodygurd Mr. ross didn’t now what to say but he said yes. At home that night Laurie talked to her parents about this problem.

At least Laurie is tryning to stop this and I think this is going to turn into choas every thing is going to go wrong, people are going to try to get out of it but it wouldn’t work. Or at least that is my opinnion.
