As the first writer I want to say that it is very interesting and more interesting to watch a video than listening to podcast.So I have watched a video called "The shared experience of absurdity".This video is about pranks which have donr Charlie Todd.Charlie Todd is the creator of Improv Everywhere, a group that creates absurd and joyful public scenes.This video is very funny.Charlie Todd started a project 12 years ago when he moved to New York city with an interesting acting and comedy.Caus he was a newcomer and cause he coudn't have a play on stage he decided to do it create his own in public places.So the first project he had done is called "No pants".This happened on January 2002.Charlie Todd decided to do a prank in metro.And there was a woman in the metro and she was reading a book and suddenly she saw a man(Charlie Todd)coming in but without pants.She was shoked and she was looking at this man with surprise.At first but there was not only a man but they were four.Then a few minutes ago came another man without pants.She was surprised and shoked again.A few minutes ago another man came but now she was laughing because she knew that it was January and nobody is crazy to do such thing.It was a prank but funny prank.And Charlie Todd wanted to make fun of people so he didn't do something horrible. The next project was called "Look up more".One day Charlie Todd was walking at Union Square and suddenly he saw a girl dancing in building which was built in 2005.It was dark outside but there were lighting in.Suddenly Charlie Todd noticed another girl who came and hugged the first girl.Maybe she was her friend and they started to dance.At that moment Charlie understood what he was going to do.More than seventy actors came to thta building and they were catching a big board paper.On that paper was written "Look up more".And one of the actors was dancing like freaking idiot then another actor was dancing and so on.More than three thousand five hundred people were watching them. The next project is called "Best Buy".It was very funny cause in best buy the sellers were wearing blue polo shirts and light brown pants.And the actors were wearing blue polo shirts and light brown pants.The sellers were surprised.And they call the police but ythe police said that it isn't illegal to wear blue polo shirt and brown pants. This video was very interesting and funny.I can say very funny.I really like watching videos.I would advise my friends to watch to this episode cause they will laugh a lot.There were also some few words which I didn't know.
Hello everyone!Finally,we started to do another thing,because I was tired of podcasts.I really liked the video which I have watched.The video that I have watched is named "My journey to yo-yo mastery".A boy called Black came and told about his story,which was very interesting for me.Black told that when he was 14 years old,he thought that he wasn't talanted at anything and couldn't do anything good.But one day he bought a yo-yo and after that his life changed.When he bought his yo-yo he couldn't play with it,even the simplest trick,but it was very natural for him.He practiced a week and he could do the trick better.That time he understood that yo-yo was the game with which he could play every time.He loved it.It was the first thing he loved so much.He found his passion.He spended his time on playing with yo-yo and practicing.Every time he played with yo-yo better and better.Four years later,when he became 18,he compited in the World Yo-Yo Contest and he won.He thought that he would be popular and would get a lot of money.But when he came back to Japan nothing changed in his life.He relized that he had to go to college and forget about yo-yo.BUT...he understood that he couldn't live without yo-yo.He understood that he had to make performances and attract people. When he finished speaking he started to do some tricks,which were very interesting.At first his tricks were simple,so they didn't attract me.But then he did tricks which attracted me.I was really surprised.This video was very interesting.There wasn't any podcast which was more interesting than this. I want to advice you to watch this video,because it is a very interesting video.I hope that you will watch and like it.And if this was a true story,I am very happy that this man is such a tallented person...
Ted talk caled "Steve Jobs: How to live before you die". It was an amazing video.) In this video Steve Jobs was speaking about his life, about HIS STORY. His biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put him up for adoption. She felt very strongly that he should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for him to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when he popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So his parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call asking: "We have a baby boy, do you want him? " They said: "Of course. " His biological mother later found out that his mother had never graduated from college and that his father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when his parents promised that he would someday go to college. And 17 years later he went to college. After six months he couldn't see the value in it. Steve had no idea what he wanted to do with his life and no idea how college was going to help him figure it out. He think that it was one of the best decisions he ever made. He stoped taking the required classes that didn't interest him, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.He didn't have a dorm room, He slept on the floor in friend's rooms. He returned coke bottles for the 5cent deposits to buy food. He decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do it. He learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. Ten years later, they designed the first Macintosh computer, into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If he had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.If he had never dropped out, he would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.

Hello I saw a Ted and now I want to tell about it. Ted's name is “A mini robot- powered by your phone”. I think you will like this Ted. The presenter was speaking about robots. The presenter shows an interesting robot that that robot can be your friend. That robot is only working with iPhone. When you turn on your iPhone to that robot you can not use your phone because when you switch on to that robot it's becomes your friend. When you switch on your iPhone to that robot on your iPhone's screen comes face. That robot can move too. When you go to right it will come with you. It’ss same if you go to left. Even you can scare him or you can laugh to him and he will laugh you too. That robot even has an app in apple app store for iPad. With that app you can control that robot and you can see what is doing that robot. I’m giving advice to watch this video because it was very interesting and because you can see that cute robot with your eye. Thank you for reading !!! :))
My TED is about “A bath without water”. The presenter of this TED is a guy, whose name is Ludwick Marishane, his from Africa, town Motetema. If you pay an attention on the title, you’ll understand that in Ludwick’s town there’s no water. It's so hot in his town that Ludwick and his friends were sunbathing in winter. During the sunbathing one the of Ludwick’s friends asked him “”why doesn’t somebody invent something that you just can put on your skin and then you don’t have to bathe?”. This question interested Ludwick. He went home and found some shocking statistics. He found out over 2.5 billion people in the world today don’t have proper access to water and sanitation. 450 million of them are in Africa and 5 million of them are in South Africa. There are horrible diseases in that places. One of the most drastic of which is called “trachoma”. Trachoma is an infection of the eye due to dirt getting into person’s eye. Because of this infection you can become blind. 8 million people are becoming blind because of this infection each and every year. And the most horrible part of this infection is that you must wash your face to get rid of this infection, no medicine, no pills, no injections. Seeing this shocking pictures, Ludwick thought to himself “Okay, even If I’m not just doing it for myself and the fact that I don’t want to bathe, I at least need to do it to try to save the world.” As Ludwick’s phone is old and he doesn’t have internet connection, he used an internet in a 20-rand-an-hour cafe. He researched on Wikipedia, on Google, about lotions and did many other things and at the last he wrote his plan on a piece of paper. He had the idea and was going to make them come true. After 4 years later a 40-page business plan on the cell phone, he just said “No more bathing”. This idea didn’t work, of course. And so he went to the university, met there few people and then in future they made a functioning product called “DryBath”, which is available on the market. They learned about several things to make DryBath available. They packaged DryBath product in innovative sachets. You just snap them in half and you squeeze it out. One sachet substitutes one bath for 5 rand. When they created this “DryBath” they realized that they can save 80 million liters of water on average each time they skipped a bath. Ludwick says that DryBath helped people a lot. He says that “ DryBath is a rich man’s convenience and a poor man’s lifesaver”.
My TED is called “How a boy became an artist”. The presenter is Jarrett Krosoczka. This guy had a sad childhood. He loved drawing very much, he had a big imagination. For him the greatest painter was his mother, but unfortunately his mother was addicted to a heroin. He is saying that when your parent is a drug addict, you always want to open your heart to her/him, but you always end up on your back. So, throughout his childhood his mother was incarcerated. And he didn’t know his father. But his grandparents Joseph and Shirley adopted him before his third birthday. The life with them was very easy. His grandparents loved him very much, but they had works to do. Jarrett as many other children loved cartoon and comics heroes. He drew them. That characters became his friends. When Jarrett was in third grade, an author of comic books visited to their school, Jack Gantos. He came to talk with kids and then kids started to draw some pictures. When Jarrett was drawing his picture, Gantos suddenly came closer to him and said “Nice cat!”. Those two words made a colossal difference in his life. Soon Jarrett started to write books with little stories when he was a child. It’s very interesting that a child can write a book, but actually there’s nothing difficult in it, you just have to use your imagination. Agree with me that Jarrett has an enormous imagination. He liked drawing and writing stories so much, that when he was coming from school, he was getting a piece of paper and drawing or writing. He drew an egg, a tomato, a head of lettuce and a pumpkin which were cartoon characters. They all lived in refrigerator city. There were also evil characters for example, an evil blender who tried to chop them up and evil toaster who tried to kidnap the bread couple. He was making his own comics. He had good talent. One night Jarrett’s grandpa came to his room and suggested him to go to art school. From sixth through 12th grade he learned there. There he was surrounded by other who loved to draw, other kids who shared a similar passion. His publishing career began when he designed the cover for his eighth grade yearbook. Jarrett was taking solace in Mr. Shilale’s art room. He liked that classes very much. By drawing funny pictures of teachers he was making friends. Soon He became the cartoonist of the school. He loved the thing that other people, who are unknown to him could read his comics. On his 14th birthday his grandparents game him a drafting table, which he loved very much and even now he’s using it. On the corner of drafting table was written “You will be successful in your work”. That was his fortune. It’s still there. He never wanted anything from his grandparents, but he only wanted a video camera, which he got after begging, in Christmas. With his camera he videotaped a cartoon with a very short time. Mark Lynch, he was one of teachers of Jarrett. Now He’s Jarrett’s good friend. When Jarrett was 14 or 15, he came into Lynch’s room, he was very excited, he was beaming, he was holdig the book how to draw comics in the Marvel way. By that book Jarrett learned how to draw a superhero, a woman and many things. But when Lynch saw that book, he said to Jarrett “Forget everything you learned. ” He said “You have a great style.” Celebrate your own style. Don’t draw the way you’re being told to draw. Then kids started to read his comics and they loved them very much. People started to wear the costumes of that characters on Halloween and Jarrett was very pleased. When Jarrett was 17 he met his father he saw his brother and sister, he never knew them. Jarrett says that if you have an imagination you can create what you want.
Hello everyone!!! I have watched the ted talk called “My journey to yo-yo mastery”. The presenter’s name is Black, who is the Japanese yo-yo world’s champion. When he was 14 years old, he bought yo-yo and he does his first trick, which he is doing not well. However, after one week practicing he can play with yo-yo better and easier. He feels that he found his passion. Four years later, when he was 18 years old, in 2001 he became world’s yo-yo champion. He thought that he would have a lot of money, a lot of interviews and that he would be on TV shows, but coming back to Japan totally nothing was changed. He went to school than got a job. However, after week he understood that he couldn’t live without yo-yo mastery. Returning to competition after six years, he became world’s yo-yo champion in 2007. After that, he wants to create a new form of performing and art. He started to take up with acrobatic training and dancing. He do all this for passing the audition for Crique do Soleil, while being fast and precise enough to pull a tablecloth out from under a stack of champagne glasses!!! I have learned some new words. For example, “passion”- is something that you like to do, that without this you can’t live (for example, Black’s passion is yo-yo and he can’t live without yo-yo). “Precise”- means very right, exactly, smartly. “Stack”- means pile, bale, package. It is very interesting video (I don’t now why, but it is interesting video). Of course, I have learned some words from this video. Thank you for your reading!!!
Hello everyone!!! I have watched the ted talk called “A skateboard, with a boost”. This is interesting video. The presenter of this video is Sanjay Pastor, who is the co-founder of Boosted Boards, a startup that aims to build the world’s lightest electric vehicles. He met pals John Ulmen and Matthew Tran while studying engineering at Starford University, where the three often found them talking about the need for a better way to get around campus. Therefore, they created one an electric long board which they called Boosted Boards. This is an electric vehicle, that weights less an a bicycle, that you can carried with you anywhere. It’s charged in 15 minutes and you can go with it 1000 kilometers. When we said vehicle, people can understand bicycle, motorbike or car, but this isn’t bicycle, motorbike or car this is a skateboard with a boost. This vehicle can get you to work or anywhere that you want in a six-mile radius, quickly than a car. Skateboard’s motor can get you from San Francisco to Los Angeles (30 kilometers for an hour). Best thing about this vehicle is that you can buy skateboard’s battery or motor in a toy store. It’s maneuverable. It’s have handheld remote so you can easy control breaking, going faster or slower. This uses 20 times less energy for every mile or kilometer that you travel than a car, which means that this skateboard is not only the thing that fastly charged or really chipped build, but it also reduce in the footprint of your energy use instead of your transportation. I have learned two new words from this video. For example, “maneuverable”- means nimble, agile, and quick. “Reduce”-means weaken, enfeeble, abate, downwards. I like this video very much, because this is something new for me and I think for you too, because I never hear about Boosted Boards. At this time, I have learned only two new words. Watch this video QUICKLY. Thank you for your kind attention!!!

Hi everyone!!!!My topic today is very interesting and i think that this TED talk is important for those people who like to surf in internet.My TED talk today is named "Who are the hackers,Fighting viruses, defending the net" by Mikko Hypponen.This clever man was talking about computers and internet hackers and he was showing some expirements in those computers.He was talking about viruses that are damaging our computers.He was putting old floppy in to the computer and was showing some types of viruses like a virus with sound of hospital machine.If you will see that hospital machine in your computer you can say that it's a virus.There are some hackers that can go to somebody's credit card and burglar all money in that credit card.For example:Two people from USA hacked one's credit card and catched one million dollars.Now they are in run and no one no where are they.There are many types of hackers like key loggers and virus writers.Key loggers are dangerous hackers because they can read all information about you for example:they can know your email address,country,city,phone number,password of facebook or twitter,and some other things.Virus writers are those hackers that can write a very dangerous virus for computers.This hackers are popular in Russia,USA,China.When you want to watch a movie and you see that something in down of your desktop.This is a virus game never go to that site.This TED talk was very interesting talk for me because i knew some new information about hackers and i advise my friends to watch this TED talk because it was very interesting.Go to this site and you can watch it therehttp://www.ted.com/playlists/10/who_are_the_hackers.html.Thank you for your reading!!!!
Before starting my comment relating to Ted Talks I want to say, that when I was looking after an interesting talk I understood that this is not an podcast that we must search very long to find some good topic, but in ted.com by searching a talk I saw that all the topics are very interesting and more educational than the podcasts. So it is only my opinion and could not to correspond with others. I have watched a fascinating ted talk about a very actual and practical problem. So it was an episode called “If cars could talk, accidents might be avoidable”. The speaker was Jennifer Healey. She is a research scientist at Intel, who develops the mobile internet devices of the future. This ted talk is about car accidents which happen because of drivers’ carelessness, some problems with GPS navigation system. And if cars could talk the accidents would became rarity. When we drive, we get into a glass bubble, lock the doors and press the accelerator, relying on our eyes to guide us -- even though we can only see the few cars ahead of and behind us. But what if cars could share data with each other about their position and velocity, and use predictive models to calculate the safest routes for everyone on the road. So speaker Jennifer Healey imagines world without accidents and speak with us to solve this problem by finding some solutions. So she encourages everyone to think deeply about this problem and make every driver think about his/her safe traffic. This Ted Talk was very interesting for me, by its presenting style, by some expressions and words which were unknown for me. This Ted Talk also makes viewing figures laugh and what is important for me, is that the speaker presents the topic by enthusiasm. I have learned many interesting and unknown words for me referring to the cars. For example dashboards, which are special panels to supervise the movement of the car. By one word I can say that I have never ever watched a fascinating and teaching video like that. So I advise to everyone to watch it and make some conclusion about the risk that you have by driving car. I don’t want to speak too much about this video. So find it and watch
Hi Guys!!! I promised that i will continue my Ted talk.So you remember that She (Jennifer Healy) had a 8 cars.For example Ford and Jeep so i will continue that Ted.If you read my Ted you will know that she had a Toyota and etc.He said that Toyota is a good car her first toyota car was a corrolla and then he said that thids car are not very good for her and she want to Buy a new car Toyota PRADO Land Cruiser.But then you know that Prado in America is a Bad word and their police don't accepted that car.So he decided to buy a toyota RAV4 and then he said that it is a gooood car and he love it 2 years ago she bought Mercedez-Benz ML 500 4 Matic car and he said that at that year Mercedez started build in USA company.And he buy that car in USA and he love it because now Mercedez-Benz produced cars in America too and In Germany.And her car that he had a now it is a HONDA and Hyundai,Honda is produced in Japan and it is a good car for me because my Fathers brother had a Honda CR-V and it is good Highlander.Hyundai is very good car with his Elantra car and Jennifer said that it is a good like Toyota Rav 4.
When I saw ted.com, I thought the linked pictures were in a mess, but then I figured it all out and found a nice topic. The title is 'John McWhorter: Txting is killing language. JK!!!'. Yeah, the title is really that. Unfortunately, I've found TOO MANY words from that talk. John starts this talk with saying that texting is a scourge and is a disadvantage for literacy or writing ability, texting isn't writing at all, and says that it isn't true. "In order to see it in another way", he says, "to see that texting is a miraculous thing, we have to look at what language is". Language existed for around 150'000 years, started as SPEECH. That was how we started to communicate, by using speech. Writing was something that arrived later. If humanity only existed for 24 hours, then writing would appear only at 23:07 o'clock. Writing has some advantages, because it's a concsious process unlike talking. He says that language is speech, and isn't writing. Speech is different from writing. Usually, people speak like writing. For example, when someone clears their throat and goes "Ahem, ladies and gentlemen--", that speech is formal, that's talking like writing, uses long sentences. He gives more examples, and says that if you SPEAK LIKE WRITING, then logically you might want to WRITE LIKE SPEAKING, and there's where texting comes in. Texting is very loose in it's structure, for example the capital letters. You don't think about the capital letters when talking, so why should we think about them while texting? Now, let's look at LOL, which usually stands for "laughing out loud". People used LOL to show they're laughing out loud. But nowadays' texting's LOL is different, doesn't mean "Laughing Out Loud" anymore. There's a sentence from the example text: "Susie: lol, i have to write a 10 page paper". In this sentence, LOL isn't used for laughing out loud, nothing is funny there. Let's say LOL has become a way for people to communicate. I've collected more than 6 words from this talk, so if some of them are already known, I can use the others. This ted-talk was very interesting, and you can learn many words from this talk as well as learn things about texting.
Hello everyone!Today I am going to write about a video which I have watched by Ted Talks.This was a video about games,which can change our world and make it more funny and less problems for people.This video was especially for adluts.So the video I have watched is called "Gaming can make a better world".The presenter was Jane McGonigal,who is a gamer and online game designer. Jane McGonigal have been making online games for 10 years.She told that she made games where children,teenagers and adults would try to save the world killing the creatures or other bad things.And the games which were made by her,tried to be like the real life and made people to realise that they had to do everything to save the world.She told that everyone spends a lot of time (3 billion hours...I couldn't believe it),but we need to spend more time,because when we are playing online games we forget about our problems and enjoy the time while we are playing computer games.She told that we need to play computer games 21 billion hours a week,but I think nobody can do it.She added that she was going to make games where people could solve their problems or enjoy their life,thinking that it was in their real life.Jane McGonigol showed a very funny and interesting photo.There was a person who was playing online games.His face was very funny,like he was scared and also surprised (I wanted you to see it,but I can't show it...You can go and watch the video).The main thing was not that he had such a funny face,but that he was consentrated in his game,like it was in his real life.She told that it could only understand the gamers.She also added that when people play online games they collaborate with each other.In the games made by Jane each country's people collaborate with each other and want to win.Their aim is to win,to become the best.The next photo that she showed was that a person wrote "I am not good at life".When people play online games and win they understand that they must try and they will do everything.She told that there are also sience games,where people discover many old,but interesting things. This was a very good Ted Talk and I liked it.I personally don't love online games,but I understood that sometimes people need that games.I think that this video is good for everyone,so I hope that you will watch this video.

Hello!!! I saw an interesting ted talk named “Skateboard, with a boost”. It was a very attractive and now I will tell a little about it. At first he described the machine. He said that the machine is an electric vehicle which weighs less than a bicycle and you can carry with you anywhere and you can charge off a normal wall outlet in 15 minutes. With that vehicle you can run for 1,000 kilometers. And then the presenter showed a motor that has enough power to do that. Compared with the vehicle the motor was smaller and you could fit it in your pocket. Than he shows battery that has about six miles of range or 10 kilometers. And those two pieces you can buy from toy shop, from remote control airplanes. Then he shows that those two pieces were used in one vehicle on the skateboard. It means that that vehicle is skateboard with motor. You can stay on that skateboard and drive it with remote control. I give advice to watch this video because it was an excellent video, and I think you will like it.
Hello guys !!! Now I am going to speak about a toy or maybe robot which you will like a lot. Your smartphone may feel like a friend -- but a true friend would give you a smile once in a while. Keller Rinaudo demos Romo, the smartphone-powered mini robot who can motor along with you on a walk, slide you a cup of coffee across the table, and react to you with programmable expressions. Keller Rinaudo is the co-founder and CEO of Romotive -- makers of the small, covetable robot, Romo.
This is taking a step further both in robotics and even communication. When children are sick or are unable to go to school, they could send their robots to school so that they get all of the information that the teacher has taught. However, if you have your robot out in the city there will be lots of problems. First of all, it might get stepped on and crushed. Second of all, someone might just take your IPhone and walk away with it and you will have no idea who did that.
So in my opinion these type of robots are so cool and maybe funny, you can make them your friend. But I also see that it may have some problems and you can easily lost you robot. But however it is a good idea to have something like this. I advise my friends to try to have this toy it is so cool !!!
Hello guys !! Now I want you to know that there is small easy and fast way to transport all over the city or country. Here we GOOO!!! Imagine an electric vehicle that can get you to work -- or anywhere in a six-mile radius -- quickly, without traffic frustrations or gasoline. Now imagine you can pick it up and carry it with you. Yes, this souped-up skateboard could change the face of morning commutes. Sanjay Dastoor is the co-founder of Boosted Boards, a startup that aims to build the world's lightest electric vehicles.
To each their own, I guess? As a longboarder I love that I can stick it under my chair while sitting in a lecture hall without a second thought. I've seen a few folding bikes but they've always seemed bulky anyway. The ability to jump off and run up stairs without missing a beat is a big selling point for me as well. This overall is an amazing product. It is affordable, energy efficient, and a good way to go from place to place. Maybe even young teens could drive this to school. This would also decrease car accidents. However, this may not be able to operate in the snow and might slip in the rain. That is my only concern. Overall, the product is good. The presenter said it is an electric vehicle which can go 1000 kilometers. And presenter showed the engine which was so cool small but very powerful. I think it is very useful thing in our life to transport everywhere without being in traffics or something like that. Compared with other vehicles it’s motor is so small and you can easily fit it in your pocket. Presenter also showed the remote and I understood that you can also be R.C.= remote controlled. I hope you will like it !!
Hello everyone!Today I want to tell you about a video which was not like the other videos,I mean it was somewhere even unusual.This "unusual" video was named "A young guitarist meets his hero".The presenters were Usman Raiz and Preston Reed.Ok,now I am going to tell you about the video. The video was surprising me and I am sure it will surprise you,too.Even the first second of the video was unusual.A young person came and started playing the guitar.Now you will ask: -What is unusual in it? And I will answer: -He was playing his guitar in an unusaul way and I am sure he was enjoying his time,while he was playing the guitar.When he finished playing the guitar everyone standed up and started to applause.His play was very cool.Than he went somewhere and came another man.He was older than that young person. Oh sorry,I forgot to tell you the names of that talented people:young person-Usman Rais,old person-Preston Reed. Preston Reed started to play the guitar.He was playing very good to and even his play was better.Than Usman came and they started playing together.They were amazing.Than the announcer came and gave them some questions,but I will tell you only the answers,which were telling about them and especially about Usman.He told that he was watching TV and when he saw Preston Reed and how he was playing the guitar,he understood that the guitar was his passion and he had to play like Preston Reed.He added that he practiced a lot and he enjoyed his time. This video was very interesting,because the play of this two persons were amazing.Only one thing was a problem for me:the sound was not lot loud enough.I want to advice you to watch that video,because it was amazing. There was only one unknown word,which was broudcaster (announcer or speaker).Thanks for reading!
Hello everyone! I have watched a ted talk called “Deep Sea diving in a wheelchair”. This is amazing video. The presenter of this video is Sue Austin. She is a creator of one amazing idea. When she is 16 years old, she started to use a wheelchair, because of her illness. The illness changes the way she could access the world. Because of this illness she started thinking about something weird, unusual, something that could change the world. Moreover, one day she thinks why people who use wheelchair always must use wheelchair only in the ground. They can use it under the water too. She started to work in this idea and seven years later the results of her work has taken her to an amazing journey during this seven years. She called this experience “Creating the spectacle”. Now the people who are using wheelchair can bye this type of wheelchair and this wheelchair can take them to amazing journey. From this ted talk, I have learned some words. For example, “transcend”- means excel, exceed, surpass. “Tremendous”- means terrible, horrible, huge, and awesome. “Alienate”- expropriate, avert. “Vivid”- means live, alive, and bright. “Ecstatic”- means frenzy, rage and enthusiastic. I would advise my friends to watch this ted talk, because these teds talk really interesting. I think you never heard about underwater wheelchair, but if you watch this ted talk, you will see that underwater wheelchair is real. Thank you for your reading!!!
Hello everyone!!! I saw an interesting ted talk. I think it will interest you too. That ted talk name is "A robot that flies like a robot. I think that you had already predicted that it is about robot bird that it can fly. Presenter started to talk about this ted talk saying that it is a dream of mankind to fly like a bird. I think that you are agreeing with this man because people wanted to see their house or anything else from the sky. But there are no people that can fly because as we all know people have no wings. Although that people can't fly it doesn't mean that people can't create a robot that can fly. That robot wouldn't hurt anyone during flying and if that robot failed out to you it would not hurt you because it is very lightweight. Than they showed that robot bird. Audience surprised because it could fly itself. When robot bird ends flying the audience woke up and applauded. Than presenter what showed what ii inside of that robot bird. There was a little motor and a little battery and then presenter said that its wings with each other are two meter. Then he said that that bird is 450 gram. I am giving advice to watch this video because I think that you never saw robot like this. Thank you for reading this ted talk.

Today I have watched a video about robots which was very interesting.The video is called "A mini robot-powered by your phone.The host was Keller Rinaudo and he was talking about (I think you have already understood) a robot which he named Romo powered by iPhone.He was showing how Romo is working but before showing he asked the audience how many people had robots at home.The half of the audience show hand and Keller said that that's why he and others are trying to make more robots.But at first that robot must be for whether you are eight or eighteen.And the robot can be creepy or uncanny but he must be friendly,funny and cute.and after that people will love that robot and they will want to buy robot for them anf for thair children and have around their children. The robot(Romo)is working with help og the iPhone.iPhone is like the brain of the robot and by leveraging the power of the iPhone's processor we can creat a robot.Romo has camera on him. When he wakes up he is in creature mode and he can follow Keller.When Keller turned to the left he turned to the left too. When Keller got too close to Romo he got scared like any other creature.We can also make him sad,happy or exciting too.With the help of the iPad we can drive Romo and take pictures too.Romo is smart. And this is the problem which people want to solve and one of them is Keller Rinaudo,he is making robots with that way he is trying to solve this problem. This video was very interesting,I can also say that it is the most interesting video among the videos which I have watched.So I will advise my friends to watch this video.I have already shown this video to Lilit and Astghik and they were like"Oh My God".So if you are interested go and watch this intersting video.
My ted is about “Learn to read Chinese … with ease ”. The presenter is a Chinese girl named ShaoLan. She grew up in Taiwan, being as a daughter of calligrapher, one of her good memories were that her mother was showing her Chinese characters, she was fascinated by those incredible characters. But she thought that to an outsider it would be difficult to understand what that Chinese characters are and to learn read that Chinese names. So ShaoLan found a way to do that with ease. Since age of five ShaoLan started learning to draw every single stroke for each character in the correct sequence. During the course of the next fifteen years she learned new characters every day. A Chinese scholar would understand 20,000 characters. But we only need 1,000 to understand the basic literacy. The top 200 will allow us to comprehend 40% of basic literature, it’s enough to read road signs, restaurant menus and many other things. On that TED she started with 8, to show us how the method works. We must open our mouths as wide as possible until it squares. Then we get a mouth. ShaoLan showed some pictures too, which were very interesting and in some case even strange. Dear readers, I couldn’t explain you what those pictures look, sorry me for that but if you want to know find that TED, which is “ShaoLan: Learn to read Chinese … with ease! ”. Thank you for reading.
Today's video is called "A skateboard,with boost".It is about skateboards wich are with boosts.The host was Sanjay Dastoor and he is the co-founder of Boosted Boards,a startup that aims to build the world's lightest electric vehicles. Imagine an electric vehicle that can get you to work or anywhere in a six-mile radius--quickly,without traffic frustrations or gasoline.You can pick it up and carry it with you.This souped-up skateboard could change the face of morning commutes. Sanjay showed the video how this skateboards are working.And it was really great thing and you don't waste money on petrol.The motor of this skateboards are from toy stores.This uses twenty times less energy an every mile that you travel, than a car.And Sanjay advises us to have this skateboard because it is very easy and very comfortable to use. This video is very interesting and I would advise all my friends to watch this video.
Hello!! I have watched a video called "How a fly flies?".An insect's ability to fly is perhaps one of the greatest feats of evolution. Michael Dickinson has been exploring flies very long. Flies can do actions during several secondz. For example they can escape from a predator very quich during secinds, they are very clever.A plane needs a pilot, an engine and wings for a flight. Flies need first of all power. There are sensors on their wings and that sensors feel the deformation of their wings and helps to fly. They have two types of muscles . Power muscles and steering muscles which help them to fly too. The muscles are controled by nervous system . Lets compare human brain and fly's brain. They are very differnt . Fly's brain consists of thousand s of neirons but flies are very quick . Human brain is very developped but fly's brain is also developped. Fly's and mouse's brains are alike. They escape from other animals . search food but fly's are cleverer . For example in labaratories during exploirations they have given games to a mouse and a fly . And it is facsinating but the fly vould play it. Flies are amasing insects and if we explore more we will find more interesting facts. The ted talk was very interesting and if you are interested in bilogy watch it . It is very interesting. Watch it. I learnt many new words and I will tell you the words today!!! :D
I have watched a video called "Filter Bubbles". When he was growing up internet for hima was a connection to the world, way of communication and he thaught it would be good for democracy and society. Every day he visits page of conseravives on Facebook and sone days ago he noticed that conservatives has disappeared from his facebook page. Facebook was looking what pages he was visting. He noticed that he was clicking more on liberal friends' links. And facebook edited them out. It is s big problem . There are 57 signals the Google looks up. Where are you sitting , what computer do you use , what browser do you use. When you search something in google and another person searchs the same thing at that time you get different results. It is a big problem. We need internet we need information but we don't need to be controlled. The internet controls us. The internert puts us into bubble filters. They edit our pages, block things which they don't like but it's our page. Foe exaple newspapers .They give us information but they don't control us . So we have to try to control the internet. It is a very interesting video and I recommend my friends to listen to it. All of us use facebook and it is abig problem .
In this my ted talk which was calld "Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight" was speaking about brain.... A woman grew up to study the brain because she had a brother who had been diagnosed with a brain disorder: schizophrenia. so, because of it she dedicated her career to research into the severe mental illnesses. So she talk about the brain that the two hemispheres are completely separate from one another. The two hemispheres do communicate with one another through the corpus collosum, which is made up of some 300 million axonal fibers. But other than that, the two hemispheres are completely separate. Because they process information differently, each of our hemispheres think about different things, they care about different things, and they have very different personalities. Our right hemisphere, it thinks in pictures and it learns kinesthetically through the movement of our bodies. Information, in the form of energy, streams in simultaneously through all of our sensory systems and then it explodes into this enormous collage of what this present moment looks like, what this present moment smells like and tastes like, what it feels like and what it sounds like. Our left hemisphere thinks linearly and methodically. Our left hemisphere is all about the past and it's all about the future. Our left hemisphere is designed to take that enormous collage of the present moment and start picking out details. our left hemisphere thinks in language. It's that ongoing brain chatter that connects us and our internal world to our external world.It's that calculating intelligence that remind us when we have to do smth.. I liked this Ted Talk it was exciting.

I have seen a ted talk, and liked it so much. This one was cald "Matt Cutts Try something new for 30 days" where a man was inspiring people not to think about something they have always wanted but to try and to give it a shot for the next 30 days. He inspired to do what they want, to do everything that makes dreams happen. He told about challenges and changes of his life. He felt like he was stuck in a rut, so he decided to follow in the footsteps of the great American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock, and try something new... It turns out, 30 days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or subtract a habit. The man said that the idea is actually pretty simple. People must to think about something they have always wanted to add to their life and try it for the next 30 days. The first thing that he did- was instead of the months flying by, forgotten, the time was much more memorable. So he started to take a picture everyday for a month. In this way he remembers exactly where he was and what he was doing that day. He also noticed that as he started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, his self-confidence grew. He went from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work for fun. The man said that he figured out that if sb. really want something badly enough, he/she can do anything for 30 days... In that 30 days he wrote a novel, and he said if someone asked him - "who you are" he wouldn't have to say "I am a computer scientist." we will say "I am a novelist"....
My TED is about “Hey science teachers – make it fun”. The presenter is a young science teacher Tyler Dewitt. He was telling that it was his first year as a new high school science teacher and he is so eager. He was so excited, he was pouring himself into his lesson plan. But soon he comes to realization that his students are not learning anything. He’s telling a story. This happens one day. He assigned his class to read this textbook chapter about his favorite subject in all of biology: viruses and how they attack. He so excited to discuss this theme with his students and he asks if somebody could explain the main idea of this theme and why this is cool? There was a silence, and suddenly one of Tyler’s student says “The reading sucked.”. And then she says that it doesn’t suck. She just doesn’t understand word of it, it’s boring, she doesn’t care about it. And Tyler realized that all of his other students are in the same boat, maybe they’ve listened to him or they have taken notes about it, but none of them really understood the main ideas. He was totally clueless, because no one could tell him why is this virus stuff so cool. He didn’t know what to do, and suddenly he thought that he could make science more easy to learn. The only thing he could do was to make a story. The main characters of his story were bacteria and viruses. He drew that characters in paper and even made a toy of those characters. He says that bacteria can makes us sick, but less people knew that virus can make bacteria sick. His story starts out like a horror story. Once upon a time there was happy little bacterium. He’s very happy and feels very good. And suddenly he starts to not feel so good. He thinks that maybe he ate a bad food. And then he sees that his skin rips apart, and he sees a virus coming out from his insides. And then it gets horrible when bursts open an army of viruses floods out from his insides. Tyler says if you pretend that you’re a bacteria, it’ll be your worst nightmare , but if you pretend that you’re a virus you’ll think “We rock.”. So Tyler drew some pictures of how virus make bacteria sick and then he showed it to his students and to other people so that they could understand it more easily. Tyler says if you tell scientific facts like this students will listen you. But there were some problems about that, the other teachers denying the way of Tyler’s. They were saying that his statements were not serious, there was a lot of fun in it. Tyler disagreed with it proved that students learn in that more easily. They just have to understand the main idea and nothing else. Tyler says start what you want to say by this “Listen, let me tell you a story.”
Hello everybody!! I listened a video called << The cheap all-terrain wheelchair >>. And it was so cool and also useful. It works with power or battery. Whit it you can travel long distances you can go to work go to shop or even cross the street very easily. It goes enough fast and makes you feel very comfortable like in the car. So you can also charge the battery. There are some types of wheelchairs that can fold and can be easily place in the car. So that is how you can take you chair with you everywhere. 40 million people are disabled but not everyone has wheelchair to travel. Or they usually have old peace of steel or an old broken wheelchair. The designer started to walk travel different places and look different wheelchairs. He looked and discovered a lot and finally could make something good useful and very cheap. He also talked with doctors or other people. He understood that the person is the complex machine. At first he looked mountain bikes for long distances travelling and he found out that bikes has gear and with it you can change the gear I mean go fast or climb mountains or go into mud or sand for all that there are some different gears. And those bikes are not expensive they are cheap enough to buy. But there are some other types that are hard to ride and also they cost for about $ 4500 and it is very expensive in my opinion. And he understood why to buy a bike cost $ 4500 if you can buy bike cost $ 200 ????? And you can go more than 5 km on varied terrain. With them you can get to school then shop or home and different other places. It is usable indoors locally repairable. It is also mechanical very simple. It has bike part construction. This product works very well and is very famous im amny countries. So it was really a new product. How do you build a wheelchair ready to blaze through mud and sand, all for under $200? MIT engineer Amos Winter guides us through the mechanics of an all-terrain wheelchair that’s cheap and easy to build -- for true accessibility -- and gives us some lessons he learned along the road. Amos Winter and his team at MIT built the Leveraged Freedom Chair, a cheap lever-powered wheelchair whose design and develop put the user first. So I advise my friends to look this episode cuz it is very interesting. !!!! Bye!!
Hey guys!Today I have watched a really interesting video which was about teachers which really need feedback.Te host was Bill Gates and he was talking smartly and I think he is very clever he was talking very clever and I think it was a great talk. The video was called "Teachers need real feedback."The video was really interesting and I really enjoyed Bill Gates's talk. Bill Gates is a passionate techie and shrewd businessman,Bill Gates chenged the world pnce,while leading Microsoft to dizzying succes.Now he's set to do it again with his own style of philanthropy and passion for innovation. Until recently,many teachers only got one word of feedback a year:"satisfactory."And with no feedback,no coaching,there is just no way to improve.Bill Gates suggests that even great teachers can get better with smart feedback--and lays out a program from his foundation to bring it to every classroom.Teachers need real feedback cause when I say even the best teacher in the world can get better after this or that feedack. I think it is really important for teachers the feedback because after that can be changed something in teacher. I liked this video and I would advise all my friends to watch this video.Thank you for reading��
Hi everybody i have listened TED talk named"Maestros, if you please ... !"by Michael Tilson Thomas.He told that he liked songs,music.His father thought him to play on piano because he was a good songster.He liked to play music because his mother was a songster too.He was talking about music that where it comes from.

Hello everyone!Today I watched a video which was interesting for me,because this problem,which is discussed in the video,have some teachers all over the world and even in Armenia.I think my friends will like this video,because maybe they have some teacher who they can't understand(if you remember we have discussed this in the class yesterday and our answer was that student's education depends on student and teacher).The video I have watched was named "The Key to Success".The presenter was Angela Lee Duckworth. Angela started telling about her life.So when she was 27 years old she left a very demanding job in management consulting for a job which was more demanding.That job was teaching.She went to teach seventh graders math in the New York City public schools.She worked like the other teachers.She made quizzes and tests,gave homework assignments and many other things,which every teacher had to do.She had every kind of pupils:pupils who liked studying,pupils who were lazy and didn't like studying,etc.Then she understood that every pupil could study well.And she wanted to teach pupils in a different way,so every pupil could study and understand her.Some days later she found a method of teaching children.When she taught children,she brought exaples from the real life,computer games and etc.She played with them and some years ago she understood that her method was the best and teaching is not only saying how you must do this,without explaining well. This video was interesting,because it had a meaning and wasn't very long.I want to advice all my friends and relatives to watch this video.Thank you for your reading!!!

I have listend to a ted talk named "Art:Frida Kahlo" where a man was telling about Frida Kaholos' art and life. He told that in 1953 when Frida Kahlo had her first solo exhibition in Mexico, a local critic wrote "It is impossible to separate the life and work of this extraordinary person. Her paintings are her biography. Frida Kahlo is an artist whose life is vividly represented in her art. She used paint and canvas to create a colorful, yet painful image of her life. Today, the works of Frida Kahlo are internationally recognized. Her paintings are famous for their vibrant colors, personal symbolism, and the influence of her unique Mexican culture. When Frida was a young woman, she was involved in a bus accident. The accident would cause her to experience physical pain for the rest of her life. It was during her long recovery, when she was confined to her bed, that she began to paint. Frida's first painting was a self portrait. During her lifetime she made over 140 paintings, including over 50 self portraits. In 1929 she married the Mexican painter, Diego Rivera. It would be a turbulent relationship and the passion and pain of their marriage is reflected in many of her paintings. The famous portrait 'The Two Fridas'' is a classic example of how she expressed her emotions towards Diego on canvas. Frida and Diego would divorce, but then remarry. Their relationship continued to be turbulent, but they remained married until her death in 1954.. In the last year of her life, Frida became very ill, and she had many operations. Her last painting was a still life called 'Viva la Vida', which means Live the Life.
My TED is called “In search of the man who broke my neck.” The presenter is Joshua Prager. One year ago, he rented a car in Jerusalem, to go find a man he had never met, but who had changed his life. He didn’t knew anything about that man, only his name “Abed”. Joshua knew that Abed lived in a town of 15,000, Kfar Kara and he knew that 21 years before just outside in this city Abed broke his neck. Abed’s truck broke his neck and injured many other sides of his body. Joshua was 19 years old. The night before the crash, he delighted in his new body, playing basketball, with friends, into wee hours of a May morning. He palmed the ball in his large right hand. And when that hand reached the rim, he felt invincible. He was off in the bus to get the pizza he’d won on the court. He didn’t see Abed coming. From Joshua’s seat, he was looking up at a stone town on a hilltop, bright in the noontime sun, when from behind there was a great bang as loud and violent as a bomb. His head snapped back over his red seat. His eardrum blew. His shoes flew off. He flew too. He had many broken bones. When he landed, he was a quadriplegic. Over the coming months, he learned to breath by his own and to sit, to stand, to walk, but his body now was divided vertically. He was a hemiplegic, and back home in New York, he used a wheelchair for four years, all through college. When college ended he returned to Jerusalem for a year. Finding his photograph of that crash, and looking in it, he didn’t see a bloody and unmoving body. He saw the healthy bulk of a left deltoid and he mourned that it was lost, mourned all he had not yet done, but was now impossible. Then he read the testimony that Abed gave. When he was reading that, he felt an anger. Then Joshua wanted to find Abed, he wanted to listen this two words from Abed “I’m sorry.” This two words would be much for him. Then he found a woman, who was the wife of Abed. That woman thought that Joshua had come to install the internet. The woman told that her husband would be home from work in four hours. He drove off and returned at 4:30. He was in front of Abed’s door. Then he knocked the door, Abed saw him and he saw Abed. Abed saw his jeans and flannel and cane. Then he saw that Abed was average-looking man, of average size. They shook hands and smiled to each other and he gave him his gift, and Abed told that Joshua was a guest in his house. Abed feasted him with a cup of coffee. They started to speak about that crash. Then Abed told him that he was injured more than he. He showed the picture of his crashed car. He told that he had killed two people in that crash. Joshua said that he killed only one person, then said goodbye.
Hello everyone! I have watched a ted talk called “Country with no water”. This is incredible video, because I’m sure that you never heard about country with no water. Besides this, this country could live like every country in the world. In this country, people are living in cottages and villages. They want to find water, food and other things that necessary for them, because how we know without water there isn’t any life. Watching this video, I understood that people could live without water in Qatar (this is the name of the country with no water), because they hope that one day they will find water and food and other things that necessary for them. In this country besides a problem with water, they have one very big problem too. In one family people are speaking in different accents. Imagine that 6 different accents in one family. In your opinion, is it normal? I think, I’m sure that no!!! Brazil has 1782 ml per year of precipitation of rain. Qatar has 74 and they have the growth rate. But how, they didn’t have any water. This is simply because of this gigantic, mammoth machine called desalination. All this is the situation in Qatar. They import 90 percent of their food. In Qatar, people also face risks. Farmers can’t water plants and we know that for watering plants water is necessary. Is there any solution? Yes, there is. How other problems this problem have a solution too. They’re going to use renewable energy to produce water that people need. In addition, they will put 1800 megawatts of solar systems to produce 3.5 mln cubic meters of water. And it is a lot of water. That water is going to use for watering plants, for producing food, etc. in my opinion this is very good solution for this problem. Have watching a video I learned some words from it. For example, “coastal- means littoral, riverside, waterside and lakeside. “Implement”- means to perform and to carry. “Nomad”- means stranger. “Expectancy”- means hope, waiting. “Roam”- means to travel. I would advise my friends to listen to this ted talk, because they will know about a country with no water called Qatar. This is interesting ted talk for me and for you too. Thank you for your kind attention.
Hi there! I have watched really interesting,beutiful and colorful video.This video is very unusual and this was not like any other videos,cause it was not a talk this was a happy and colorful I don't know what maybe show.Whatever the host:the presenter was Colin Robertson.Colin Robertson is apparently "attempting to make the world's first crowdsourced solar energy solution".Colin Robertson had 3 minutes on the TED stage to tell the world about his solar-powered crowdsourced health care solution. And then... He wanted to show how people use solar energy with the help of video and that video was called "Crowdsourcing Solar".BUT!It started bringing files which was saying an error occurred at first I thought it is real error but then the click of the computer started to make melodies and the click was colorful then people came:the actors and they started to dance.They were dressed in colorful dresses and they brought with them colorful balls and they give that balls to people everyone was dancing and playing with the balls. Colin was surprised and astonished with this all too.And he lost his time by watching this all. I really loved this video cause it was not an ordinary one,it was unusual and creative one. I would suggest my friends to watch this just for fun.I hope they will love it and I am sure that they will enjoy this video very much!!!
I've watched a Ted talk, which wasn't really a talk, more like a demonstration. The title is "A mini robot--powered by your phone." The presenter, Keller Rinaudo, first of all asked the audience if they had a robot at home. Some of them raised their hands, and Keller asked them if they have a Roomba at home. Just 2 people raised their hands. Then he took an iPhone and set it on a device which had a "neck" for the phone and wheels to drive. When he placed the phone on the device, the screen of the phone changed to a blue face which followed Keller's face's movement. He explained that the iPhone is the robot's, Romo's, brain. He moved closer to Romo, showing the audience that moving too close makes Romo scared like any other creature. Keller then said that if he wanted to explore the world with Romo, he could use another iOS device, in this case an iPad, to drive Romo around and see what Romo sees. Afterwards, he turned Romo's neck so it looked at the audience and took a picture. This ted-talk was interesting as it was more like a demonstration and not just a talk. This robot is proof that technology can create many wonderful things, and a portable robot isn't an exception.
My next Ted talk was about an artist, Liu Bolin, whose artwork was blending in with the environment, becoming invisible, and the title was, of course, "The Invisible Man." Liu Bolin was chinese, so he had a translator with him. He showed many pictures of his art, him being "invisible" in many different places. He became invisible by wearing the clothes and painted the face the same colour as the environment. For example, if he was standing behind a grey rock, he would wear grey clothes and painted the face and the hair grey. If he was in a supermarket, he would use the colours of the food behind him. Bolin said he used the idea of snipers, blending in so the enemies don't see him. He had some artworks showing Venice, because the sea levels are rising and it might disappear, showing 6 jobless people who lost their jobs when China changed from planned economy to market economy, and artworks showing more stuff like that. "When I work on a new piece, I pay more attention to the expression of ideas", he says. "For instance, why should I make me invisible here? What will making myself invisible here cause people to think?" He also says that he thinks that in art, an artist's attitude is the most important element. In the end, he blended in the TED scenery and left. Some people might have known this technique, and for some it might be new, but I think no one knew that Liu Bolin is one of the artists who use this.
Hello !!! I am going to speak about an video called <>. And I wanna say when I watched this video I was surprised and I was amazed. I liked this toy very much and I would like to have one. I must say that this was a cool performance. I have never seen this kind of magic before, and maybe I won’t see another one in the future. However, it did confuse me when I first saw it, but I felt more amazed than deceived. I noticed some of Marco’s mistakes and even figured out some of his tricks after the second viewing. But I am still wondering how the app works. Perhaps I will never know since he is a magician. Maybe he used the camera on the stage to locate the three iPods, or maybe there was another person “behind the scenes”. Whatever technology he used, the technology part made this TED talk more like an app show, not a traditional magic show, which always make us keep wondering “How did he do that?” and “What did I miss?” Although confusing, it’s another kind of performance – techno magic – and I like it. Using three iPods like magical props, Marco Tempest spins a clever, surprisingly heartfelt meditation on truth and lies, art and emotion. A magician and illusionist for the 21st century, Marco Tempest blends cutting-edge technology with the flair and showmanship of Houdini. I can say only one this was cool futurastic and it was like something unusual.
Hello !!! I would like to speak about and episode called <> Hadyn's idea is not bad, but we must look for a lasting solution that puts a complete end to the problem. Genetic enineering may eliminate the virus transmission, but genetically engineered animals may create some other problem before extinction even though their life cycle may shorten. Moreover, engineering the entire global population is a gigantic task (this is not crop engineering where you get control of the seeds), and may take decades before the effect is really visible. We all use a fly catcher that attracts the flies and kills them there and then. Similarly, why cant we make a mosquito attractor (and not a repellant) that will attract and kill them right there ???? How expensive is it to have a production plant of sterile insects? Mr. Parry doesn't talk at all about the financial costs and I am curious. I understand how the process works, but would it be cheaper to instead get the natural predators to reduce the population? Mosquitoes live near water so fish and other aquatic insects seem like a good idea. I don't see the point of eradicating mosquitoes completely from countries where they normally inhabit. It also seems imply a very costly operation as they are designed to survive that habitat. Sterile males have to be in a critical minimum amount to have any significant effect in tropical countries. Mosquitoes can even lay eggs in bromeliads, so what is the point of eradicating them from forest-filled countries. Maybe we should instead get people to find different settlements (far from the dengue) and focus on avoiding transporting fertile mosquitoes by accident. In a single year, there are 200-300 million cases of malaria and 50-100 million cases of dengue fever worldwide. So: Why haven’t we found a way to effectively kill mosquitos yet? Hadyn Parry presents a fascinating solution: genetically engineering male mosquitos to make them sterile, and releasing the insects into the wild, to cut down on disease-carrying species. Biotech entrepreneur Hadyn Parry leads a science start-up that develops GM insects to fight dengue fever. However I think this can be used by military, army or something different. I know a lot about army and about there technology. And as I knew in the future there are going to be some flying insect or mosquitos that can do some secret missions for army. They can collect a lot of information about enemy at the same time that they fly and send it to the soldiers. So with one word it can be very smart cool and also clever weapon. It can be deadly. All this is said by an U.S. army officer and designer.
Hello everyone!Today I am going to write about a video which interested me and I think that it will interest other people,too.The video was called "Prepare for a good end of life".The presenter was Judy MacDonald Johnston.At first I didn't want to write about end of life,because it is a bad thing,but then I understood that it will be a good video,because there is mantioned "Prepare to a GOOD end of life". At first Judy McDonald Johnson started her speech with a question:"What wold be a good end of life?".Then she explained that she was talking about the very end of our life,about increasing our chances of dying well. Everyone wants to have a good life:earn much money,wear nice clothes,have a good family and etc.Judy told that she had 2 good friends (Jim and Shirley Modini),whom she tried to help to have a good end of life.The family of Modini spent their 68 years of marriage living in their range.Jim and Shirley met in 80s and fell in love.Their dream was to live in range and their dream became true.Then they met Judy and they made friends.Jim and Shirley were 2 people who loved each other and thought in the same way.They didn't want to have children.Judy told that she is very happy that she made friends with Jim and Shirley.She told that they found each other and lived very happy.They had the same ideas and dreams and they did everything to make their wishes real.And finally,she adviced all the people to make they dreams real. It was a very interesting video and a very good story.So I will advice my friends and relatives to watch this video.Thank you for your reading!!!
Hi everybody.I had listened to TED talk named "What makes us feel good about our work" by Dan Ariely.He was talking about people that are joyful and sad about their works.He was telling many examples.He was telling that work of person is like a maze because when you will give him money he will work very faster and you can direct him or her to work in other way.One day his pupil came to his house he told him one story that happened to him.His pupil was working in big bank and his boss told him to create a big Power Point presentation about their work.He was working in that presentation days and nights he was collecting as much information as he could,he was designing it.He was doing that more than 9 days and when he send his presentation to his boss by email he received it back with this words "It was good presentation but it's not befit to our work".He told another example too.For example:When person is climbing one big mountain he is doing work and when writer is writing about this climbing and when you are reading it it's not full of joy it's boring.This TED talk interested me and i liked it.I advise my friends to listen to this podcast. Thank-you for your reading!!!
Hello!!! I have watched a ted called "Prepare for a good end".Judy Mcdonald was speaking. Thinking about death is frightening, but planning ahead is practical and leaves more room for peace of mind in our final days.Shw has helped a couple - Jim and Shirley . They were 80 years old.Jim died first . He kept smiling up to the end. Only at the last day he could not speak . Through his eyes they cuold see a fear. He was worried about the ranch and his wife. But he knew that ACR company would look after his ranch. Judy suggests to prepare for a good end of life. First of all make a plan. For example what do you want in terms of medical intervention .Recruit advocates. People who have time and proximity to continue your work. Be hospital ready.Choose caregivers. People who will help you during your last days. Finally, discuss last words. From whom would you like to listen them , maybe from people whom you love and trust. What words would you like to listen. For sure you would like to listen that whatever you are worried about would be fine. I like the ted. It was interesting and inspiring. I learnt some new words. recruit- involve, enroll medical intervention- for example operetions, using medicine , somehing that is done by doctors for curing you
Hello!!! I have listened to a ted calles "Every child needs a champion".Rita Pirson was speaking. She is a teacher . Once one of her collegues told that she is paid only for teaching and not loving children. And she answered that children did not learn from people they did not like. She thinks that teachers have to make a relationship with students and they must turn teaching and learning into joy . Once she had a math ckas and when she went home she saw she has done some misteakes and when she came back to class she apologised fot being wrong and children were fascinated. So it is very important to know to apologise. She had very low classes and it was very difficult to work with them and when she enterd the class she said:" YOu were chosen to be in my class , you are the best students and I am the best teacher and we hav eto prove it .When we are walking dawn the hall you can not make noise you have to be strut.And I am somebode and I will be a better somebody when I leave.I am powerful and I am strong . I have places to go and people to impress " . Everyone was ipressed and the class shouted "YEAH". Once she gave a quiz of 20 questions .ON of the children hyad written only 2 of them . She wrote +2 under the test and draw a smile.And the child asked why she put the smile. She answered that he is in roll and he didn't miss them all.He got two right.And when they rewiev wouldn't he do it better?, he said he would do it better for sure,+2 gave him power than - 18 . Finally she thaught that the most important thimng is relationship. I adore this ted . It is the best Ted I have ever listened . I strongly reccommend all of you to watch this . I learnt one new word strut- to walk seeming that you are proud of you .
Hello everyone!Today I have watched an interesting video,which was named "What makes us feel good about our work?".The presenter was Dan Ariely...I am sure that this video can change the opinions of many people,who work only for money and don't enjoy their time,while they are working.And now I am going to write what I understood from this video. What people understand by saying "My work" or "My Job"?This is my question to you and everyone,because everyone thinks in a different way and I want to understand what the work or job is for us?For exaple,I think that most of workers think only about money,how much money they can earn,but I don't think so. I understand the word "work" or "job" quite in a different way.People choose their favourite job and if a person must think only about his money,why the person must choose his or her FAVOURITE job,he or she can choose every kind of job and no metter he/she will like it or not.I am happy that Dan Ariely thinks like me.And in the end I want to present Dan's example.He told that when we watch TV and see a person climbing a very high and not flat mountain we don't think that we can do it,too and don't enjoy it.Let's imagine that the climber climbed this mountain and is tired (there's nothing good and enjoyable in his work,we imagine at first),but then we imagine how proud he is,when he thinks that he did it.So everyone must choose a job which he or she will enjoy! It was an interesting video and I think that it can help people change their opinion about their work.I will advice my friends and relatived to watch this video,but it was too long,20 minutes:D...Thank you for reading!!!
This talk is about a young businessman Sarath Babu. A woman was tellig about Sarath Babus' career and life... When Sarath Babu, at the age of 27,, graduated as a top student from the Indian Institute of Management in the city of Ahmedabad, he stunned the business world by turning down a number of job offers that would have made him a wealthy man. Instead, he took a risk by starting his own catering company. A young businessman taking a risk might not seem so surprising; Sarath Babu, however, had come from a life of poverty.He was born in Chennai, south east India. He had two older sisters and two younger brothers. His mother was only support. Every day she held down three jobs - selling breakfast on the streets in the morning, working as a dinner lady at a school in the afternoon, and teaching adults in the evenings. She made just one rupee a day for six people. Every morning, Sarath Babu helped his mother sell breakfast on the streets of Chennai, and every evening he did his homework in the dark.He took a book job for the summer. At one point, he even employed twenty other children. On finishing school, Sarath was accepted onto an engineering course at a local college. Money, however, again proved to be the problem. One of his sisters, had to pawn her jewelry to lend Sarath the money. Later, He got a scholarship and was able to pay her back.He dreamed of starting his own business and providing a good standard of living for his employees. He worked at a software company for thirty months to clear his debts. After that, he passed the college entrance exams and got a place at the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad. Two years later, although he was getting lots of good job offers from some famous companies. His business began with one small office. His first order was selling snacks and tea to a local software company. In his first month, they made thirty five thousand rupees. Now, his company has an annual turnover of sixty million rupees. However,in his words, money and fame are not the most important things in his life. He has family and friends... This was most important in his life.
Hey guys!Today I have watched a really interesting video about the secrtes of success.And about the secrtes of success was talking Richard St. John.The talk is called "8 secrets of success". Why do people succeed?Is it because they are smart or they are just lucky?Neither.Analyst Richard John condenses years of interviews into slideshow (presentation)on the real secrets of success. Richard St. John is an analyst, a self-described average guy who found success doing what he loved.He spent more than a decade researching the lessons of success. He started telling his story. Everything started one day when he was sitting on the plane coming to TED-conference, it was 7 years ago and sat beside him.A girl who was a high-grade pupil, a teenage girl, she is really needy family lived, she wanted nothing came of her life, and she gave him a simple question. What leads to success, she asked, and at that moment Richard really felt bad because he could not give a good answer,they landed and he came to TED-conference and he thought:He is in a room surrounded by successful people and he thought why not to ascertain what helped them succeed, and then share about it with the kids, and now, here he is, 7 years, 500 interviews were collected results in hand, and he told us what are the secrets of success. 1.The first thing that leads to success is passion.Thomas Freeman said"I am driven by my passion".And we must do it (smth.) with love not for money. And the most interesting thing is that if you're doing something you love, the money will automatically come to work. 2.The second thing that leads to success is work.Rupert Murdoche once said to Richard:"It's all hard work.: Nothing comes easily, but I'm getting a lot of pleasure and fun". 3.Good."To be successful put your nose down in something and get damn good at it":said Alex garden."There is no magic it's all about practice,practice,practice". 4.Focus.Norman Jewison said:"I think it all has to do with focusing yourself to one thing". 5.Push.David Gallo said:"Push yourself.Physically,mentally,you gotta push,push,push.Push shyness and self-doubt".Goldie Hawn said:"I always hadself-doubts.I wasn't good enough,wasn't smart enough.I didn't think I'd make it".It's not always easy to push yourself so that's why we have mothers.Frank Gehry said"My mother pushed me". 6.Serve.Sherwin Nuland said:"It was a privilege to serve as a doctor.Millionaires serve others something ov value. 7.Ideas.Bill Gates said:"I had an idea of founding the first micro-computer software company...". Ideas:Listen Observe Be Curious Ask Questions Problem Solve Make Connections 8.And finally the last thing which leads to success is "Persist".Joe Kraus said:"Persistance is the number one reason for our success.You gotta persist to failure.You gotta persist to crap. Criticism Rejection Assholes Pressure Here are the 8 secrets to success.I am in love with this video.This is the best video I have ever seen.Cause this is very informative and it contains large range of vocabulary.And I would advise all my friends to watch this video.
My TED is called “I listen to color”, by Neil Harbisson. Neil was born with a rare visual condition called achromatopsia, which means he doesn’t see colors, total color blindness. He doesn’t know what color looks like, because he came from a grayscale world. Sky and flowers were gray for him, and TV was still in black and white. But since the age 21 he started to listen colors. In 2003, he started a project with computer scientist Adam Montandon and with other scientists they’ve created an electronic eye, which is on the head of Neil. If you look at him, you would think that he’s a some kind of cyborg. That electronic eye is a color sensor that detects the color frequency in front of him and sends that frequency to a chip installed at the back of his head, and he hears the color in front of him through the bone, through bone conduction. So explained everything, and then listened to some colors, purple, red, yellow. Each color had different sound. He have been hearing color all the time for eight years, since 2004, and then found it completely normal now. Then his life continued with his electronic eye. When was going to supermarkets, to buy food, there were many colors of course, and for him the supermarket was like a night club, because of all that colors he heard. Eating vegetables and listening to their colors, he felt good. He thought if teenagers could listen to those colors, they’d start to eat vegetables. So he was eating a song. That’s strange. His life became interesting.
Hello guys !!! I listened an interesting video called WHAT IS THE INTERNET, REALLY?? And now I will talk about it and you will really know the answer of this question. When a squirrel chewed through a cable and knocked him offline, journalist Andrew Blum started wondering what the Internet was really made of. So he set out to go see it -- the underwater cables, secret switches and other physical bits that make up the net. For his new book, "Tubes," Andrew Blum visited the places where the internet exists in physical form: the cables and switches and servers that virtually connect us. This is great, previous days (career) in managing Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN). A follow up to his speech is how those bits of lights are actually carried and transformed into electrical signals that forms a protocol called Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH). They are the top of the food chain in terms of Telco-carrier (communication/networking) protocols, it is then broken down (de-multlplexed) into smaller bandwidth signals called STM-1 (155mb), DS-3 (approx 50mb), and what a normal person would know as T1 (1.5mb) and E1 (2.08mb). I recently caught up with an ex-colleague of 10 yrs ago and he says that these signal hierarchies are being phased out and those big metropolitan switches are now mainly just using Ethernet protocol at Giga & 100mb slices, can anyone tell me if this is true? Yes, technically if you knew where all those data centers are located, you take it out and it would wipe out certain carrier providers. That's why they are always in inconspicuous locations, like you would have never have guessed. Once inside, you can imagine it's as if you walked into the scene of Matrix where cabinets upon cabinets fly by in front of Neo, they go on like you're in a forest of racks. Also there are some hackers that are very dangerous and can make lots of viruses. The Internet connects us as never before, but there's a dark side to this web. Who are the hackers who wreak havoc online? And what is it they want? Sociologists, criminologists and hackers themselves shed light … It's been 25 years since the first PC virus (Brain A) hit the net, and what was once an annoyance has become a sophisticated tool for crime and espionage. Computer security expert Mikko Hyppönen tells us how we can stop these new viruses from threatening the internet as we know it. A computer virus is a computer program that can replicate itself[1] and spread from one computer to another. The term "virus" is also commonly, but erroneously, used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have a reproductive ability. Malware includes computer viruses, computer worms, ransomware, trojan horses, keyloggers, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware, malicious BHOs and other malicious software. The majority of active malware threats are usually trojans or worms rather than viruses.[2] Malware such as trojan horses and worms is sometimes confused with viruses, which are technically different: a worm can exploit security vulnerabilities to spread itself automatically to other computers through networks, while a trojan horse is a program that appears harmless but hides malicious functions. Worms and trojan horses, like viruses, may harm a computer system's data or performance. Some viruses and other malware have symptoms noticeable to the computer user, but many are surreptitious or simply do nothing to call attention to themselves. Some viruses do nothing beyond reproducing themselves. So I will advise my friends to watch this video. Cause it is very interesting and informative.
Hello!!! I Saw an interesting ted talk related technology and I think it will interest you. That ted talk's name is "Why Google Glass?". I think that you understood what is this about. But i will say. It is about Google Glass. Than presenter showed a video related Google Glass. When you wear Google glass in the corner glass will show time. In that video owner said to glass record a video and glass started to record. It means that that glass can record video. it can be Skype too what you see with that glass with Skype your friends can see too. It can also take a picture. You can speak with glass too. Than when video ends presenter said that when they built the first Google glass it was uncomfortable and it was like a hat and there was no camera on it. Now they made a glass that have camera and much like a glass not hat and it have also an internet on it. And when you get message on your mail, glass will show who send you massage and what he or she send. I am giving advise to watch this video because I am sure it will interest you.
Hello!!! I have listened to a ted called “Re-engineering mosquitoes to fight disease”. It seems that I like mosquitoes very much, as I wrote a reflection of a podcast which was about these little insects too. Whatever, the broadcaster in this ted was Hadyn Parry. When we talk about dangerous animals, most of us definitely think about lions, sharks or something like those. It is unbelievable, BUT the most dangerous animal in the world is mosquito. In fact, mosquitoes killed more people than any other animal. In addition, they killed even more people than wars and plague. It is a little surprising, that now in 21st, in the century of technologies, with all our advances and society, we can’t control mosquitoes. But it is a fact. Otherwise we would not have 200-300 million cases of malaria every year and 1.5 million deaths from malaria. 50 years ago nothing was known about malaria. But now it is the largest and the most dangerous virus spread all over the world and it is called dengue fever. According to Hadyn Parry this virus is carried by mosquitoes, so we are at risk everywhere: in India, in Europe, in Asia and America. The symptoms of this fever are flu-like symptoms: headache, sickness, pain in muscles. Also you can feel like your bones are breaking. That’s why dengue fever is also called breakbone fever. Another remarkable fact is that mosquitoes spread really very fast, even if they live just some days and can’t travel very far. The reason of this phenomenon is that mosquitoes lay their eggs everywhere: in clear water, in pool and on goods. And if that clear water is near a port or a transport, those eggs will get transported all over the world. To proof how fast they spread Parry told that in the mid 70-s, Brazil announced the complete absence of the most dangerous type of mosquitoes. But now they spent about billion dollars to get rid of it. So knowing all these facts about mosquitoes, we must think about solving this problem. And according to Hadyn Parry there is only one effective way: to kill mosquitoes. There are two main ways of killing them: FIRST: Using chemicals. But this method is not as good as it seems. First of all, these chemicals will kill both mosquitoes and other insect, which is impermissible. Some of those insects are quite beneficial and are very important for our ecosystem. In addition, these chemicals will damage also people. SECOND: Creating of a product which will kill only mosquitoes. This product will not harm people, will not pollute our environment, and also will be relatively cheap or cost-effective, because the problem of mosquitoes also have some countries, the economy of which is not developed very much. But there is an alternative way of solving this problem. This method was developed in Oxford University. Basics of this method are two functional factors of mosquitoes, and that is, firstly males don’t bite. Only female mosquitoes actually bite us. And the second factor is that males find female mosquitoes really very fast. And using these two factors scientists changed some genes of male mosquitoes. So for example male meets female and there is a lot of offspring. BUT if the male carries the gene which causes the death of offspring then the offspring will not survive. Scientists tested this method in Brazil and Cayman Islands and the results were pretty good. So after some years there will be just a little number of mosquitoes. The last news made Hadyn Parry very happy. But in my own opinion it is not very good news. As I know every animal in the nature, even the most dangerous, has its own “mission”, which is very important for keeping ecosystem. And even mosquitoes have some functions which are very important for nature. So killing them, maybe we will cause other serious problems. Anyway, as I said this is my opinion and it is nothing for scientist (for now) :D. Thank you for your attention!!!
My 4th TED talk's host is David Pogue, talking about technology's top 10 time saving tricks. He begins with saying that everything risky requires a license, for example, owning a gun, driving a car, getting married. That's true in everything except technology. For example, people give you a computer and "kick you out of the nest", nobody teaches you how to use it, you have to learn it yourself. So, he presents top 10 tricks you think everybody knows, but in fact they don't. I won't list all the tricks, just some of them, and keep some for you to watch. "When you open a browser, don't just take the mouse and use the scroll bar, it's a waste of time." So here is the first trick: Just press Spacebar to scroll down one page, and hold Shift while pressing Space to go up the pages. It saves alot of time, I tried on this page. When we're filling, for example, those credit card payment pages, we all press Tab to jump from box to box. But what about the boxes where you put your state from the popup box? Don't open the popup box, that's very long. Just type the first letter of your state, like if you want to write Texas, type T, T, T till it shows Texas. Now for a phone trick. We sometimes want to redial the person we dialed before, so we open the call lists and find the called number, which is worse than this: just pressing the "call" button which brings the numpad, and the number will appear, we just press "call". It's alot faster. To highlight a word in a text, people just drag over it. A better option is to just double-click the word, and it's highlighted. And if you want to delete the highlighted word, "don't bother deleting! Just type over it!" Typing on the highlighted text deletes it all and starts with the letter you typed. (This one is for presentations) When there are people having a presentation, sometimes the audience is looking at the slide and not at the presentors, which is really frustrating. The presentors can press the B key to blackout the slide and make the audience look at them again. Pressing B unblackouts the slide. Same is for W, same but it's white. Works on Powerpoint and Keynote. This presenter was funny and the tricks are useful, I suggest you use them to save your time. Thank you for reading, for full list of tricks watch it at TED.
Hi everyone!Today my TED TALK was named "The invisible man" by Liu Bolin.This podcast was very very interesting.When i was watching this podcast i thought that i couldn't write it in my blog because the presenter was from china and was talking in chines and i was reading english translation of that TED talk.This TED talk i think that is about unusual art that makes people invisible and this presenter is one of this persons who became "invisible".The secret is that painters are painting in clothes of that person things and make him invisible.For example it is using in TV shows.In TV shows they are painting security persons.For example there were group of people that were invisible for everybody and they were working together for all their life.In this painting never is using photo shop this is only painting in real way.This presenter was showing photos that he was invisible there.For example he showed photo that is invisible .It was in supermarket.He was painted with some foods and was standing in left of that foods and was showed like invisible man.I think that people can bring money too in this way :D.I liked this TED talk very much because i knew about new ART. I advise you to listen to this TED talk because it was very very interesting.Thank you for your reading!!!
My seventh TED talk is named "My journey to yo yo mastery" by BLACK.He was talking about his classes in Yo yo mastery,how he became champion of that sport.At first when he was 14 years old he had low self-esteem.He thought that he hadn't got talent at everything.But one day when he bought yo yo he got talent in it.He done his first trick but it wasn't very beautifull.But it was very natural for him because he hated all sports.But after one day practicing he was playing it bit better.And he thought that yo yo is something in his life to be good at first time in his life.He was practicing all time and when he was 18 years old he was standing onstage at the world yo yo contest.And he won that contest.He was excited because it was his first win.He may get many sponsors,money, interviews on TV's but he didn't do that he came back to Japan where he started to work as a systems engineer.But he thought that he can't live without yo yo and he decided to make performance better.He started carrier of professional performer.He started to learn classic ballet,jazz,dance,acrobatics to make his performance better and he done that.With the help of this efforts he took place in second world yo yo concert and won.And yo yo changed his life.I liked this TED talk and i advise my friends to listen to this TED talk. Thank you for your reading!!my friend!!:)
Hi!!! My 5th Ted-talk is about summer books that people have to read. It is an interesting Ted for me and I know for someone else as well. My first thought is about reading.

My ted is called “What fear can teach us” by Karen Thompson Walker. One day in 1819, 3,000 miles off the coast of Chile 20 American sailors watched their ship flood with seawater. They’d been struck by a sperm whale, which had ripped a catastrophic hole in the ship’s hull. Their ship began to sink, and they had to huddle together in three small whaleboats. Men were 10,000 miles from home and more than 1,000 miles from the nearest scrap of land. In their small whaleboats they had few food and water and other things. These were the men of the whaleship Essex, whose story would later inspire parts of “Moby Dick”. So they started to think where do they must to go. They knew that nearest island they could reach were the Marquesas Islands, 1,200 miles away. But they heard that these islands and several near islands were populated by cannibals. They could also go to Hawaii islands, but they were afraid of being beaten by severe storms. So the fear interfered them to go to those islands. We all know what it’s like to be afraid, we know how fear feels, but we haven’t spent enough time thinking what our fears mean. As we grow up, we start to think that fear is a weakness. Neuroscientists have proved that human beings are hard-wired to be optimists. So maybe that’s why we think fear contains in and off itself a danger. But what if we think of fear as an amazing act of our imagination. Every child had his/her own fears, monster hiding under the bed, darkness and other many fears. Karen is from California, and there she had one fear. That was the earthquake, because of that fear she couldn’t sleep, she always thought what would be to her family and their house because of an earthquake. If children have fears like those, adults usually say that it’s a vivid imagination. We have to leave that fears behind and grow up. We must learn that there are no monsters and other scary things. What can we learn from fears? The sailors in 1819 didn’t know what to do, they were starting to get hungry, their food was eaten and all this was because of the fear of being eaten by cannibals or being beaten by storms. The sailors eventually went to South Africa, some of them died and some of them were saved by other sailors from other ships. Instead of calling that emotions fears, we can call them stories. Because that’s really what fear is, if you think about it. It’s a kind of unintentional storytelling. Like we are the writers of those stories or in some cases we are the readers. So instead of forgetting their fears, sailors continued reading their fears. Our fears are the amazing gifts of our imaginations. But sometimes we have to forget them and focus on the truth.
This ted talk called "Lakshmi Pratury on letter-writing" where a woman talked about her father death. When her father died he left her a legacy of his handwriting through letters and a notebook. In the last two years of his life, when he was sick, he filled a notebook with his thoughts about his doughter. There are times when she wants to trade all those years that she was too busy to sit with her dad and chat with him, and trade all those years for one hug. But too it's late. but when she takes out his letters and read them, she feels connected to him. So this woman think maybe it's the best idea to leave our children with a value legacy, and not a financial one. A value for things with a personal touch... This woman said that she collect autograph books and CDs for his son. She committed to compiling her and sons' thoughts into a book, and leave that published book for her son...
Hello everyone!Today I have watched an interesting video,which is called "How books can open your mind".The presenter was Lisa Bu.Before I start writing about this video,I want to mention that it's important to watch this video,because many children or students don't like reading books and always pay attention to their computers and forget about books. Lisa Bu brought example from her own life so as to explain everyone how important the books are.I will tell the short plot of her example and will try to explain how important the books are in our life. Lisa's dream was to become an opera singer or piano player,but her parents were against it (they wanted Lisa to become an engineer).Only Lisa's friends were supporting her,but they were as poverness as Lisa.When she became 15 years old,she thought that she was too old to practise,but she didn't give up (but she didn't know what to do).She started reading books,especially books with notes.And with the help of the books she found her passion. Now I want to present what possitive sides have the books: 1.You can learn more information (new words,news,etc.). 2.Different books can express stories which arelike the stories of our lifes and it can give you many sollutions of problems you have. 3.There are many books that can teach us (for example,they can teach us the notes,grammar,new words,etc.). 4.Reading books you will become a literate person. I have mentioned only four possitive sides of the books,but it has more and more possitive sides. It was an interesting video,but I expected more interesting one.I don't want to advice you watch this video,because I am sure that you can find other interesting videos.Thank you for reading!!!
Hi everyone!!Today my TED talk is from shortest TED talks group named "Success is a continuous journey" by Richard St. John.This was about success he was telling examples and etc. about success.He was telling that why do many people get success and than fail?.To get success you might go only in this way. 1.passion 2.work 3.focus 4.push 5.ideas 6.improve 7.serve 8.persist and you are getting success.But then you are failing because you are thinking that you are in the top,that you have everything and you are not working.This is the fail of success.When you are getting success you think that -Hey i'm good enought and i don't have space to grow up and than you fail. For getting success you might have good ideas.You might 1.listen 2.observe 3.problem solve 4.make connections 5.ask questions 6.be curious. But remember that you can't get success with money because to get success you must work hard. I advise you to listen to this TED talk because it is interesting. Thank you for your reading!
Hi!!!Today my ted is about mammonths nad their facts.IF we know mamonts are big big animals likes elephats and they were disapared 2500 years ago.They are big,Clever and strong.And Hendrick Poinar shares how his team is sequencing the woolly mammoth genome. And he says that were been 10000-15000 years female mamonths.Ok first Fact is that Contrary to common belief, the woolly mammoth was hardly mammoth in size. AND I SAYS about it.The ears of a woolly mammoth were shorter than the modern elephant’s ears. Like their thick coat of fur, their shortened ears were an important cold-weather adaptation because it minimized frostbite and heatloss. AND 3th Scientists can discern a woolly mammoth’s age from the rings of its tusk, like looking at the rings of a tree. 4th The woolly mammoth was not the only “woolly” type of animal.5th Cave paintings drawn by ice age humans show the important relationship they had with the woolly mammoths. 6th Today, the hunt is on for woolly mammoth tusks in the Arctic Siberia.7th The first fully documented woolly mammoth skeleton was discovered in 1799.8th The coat of a woolly mammoth consisted of a “guard” of foot long hairs, and an undercoat of shorter hairs.9th Even a kid can discover a preserved mammoth. In September 2012 in Russia, an 11-year-old boy named Yevgeny “Zhenya” Salinder happened upon an extremely well-preserved woolly mammoth carcass while walking his dogs.And final 10th The final resting place of woolly mammoths was Wrangel Island in the Arctic. Although, most of the woolly mammoth population died out by 10,000 years ago, a small population of 500-1000 woolly mammoths lived on Wrangel Island until 1650 BC. That’s only about 4,000 years ago! For context, Egyptian pharoahs were midway through their empire and it was about 1000 years after the Giza pyramids were built. The reason for the demise of these woolly mammoths are unknown.
Hello guys !! I listened a video called 10 TOP TIME-SAVING TECH TIPS. It first when I read the tittle I thought it is going to be something boring and not interesting, but when I watched the video I understood that I was false it was a great video and now I will tell and introduce you what I have seen and that time you will see that this was a great and useful video. Tech columnist David Pogue shares 10 simple, clever tips for computer, web, smartphone and camera users. And yes, you may know a few of these already -- but there's probably at least one you don't. David Pogue is the personal technology columnist for the New York Times and a tech correspondent for CBS News. He's also one of the world's bestselling how-to authors, with titles in the For Dummies series and his own line of "Missing Manual" books. Firstly I would like to speak about him because he is very intelligent and very very famous person. David Pogue is the personal technology columnist for the New York Times and a tech correspondent for CBS News. He's also one of the world's bestselling how-to authors, with titles in the For Dummies series and his own line of "Missing Manual" books. Why you should listen to him: Which cell phone to choose? What software to buy? Are camera-binoculars a necessity or novelty? As release cycles shorten and ever-shrinking gadgets hit the market with dizzying speed, it's harder and harder to know what's worth the investment. A tireless explorer of everyday technology, David Pogue investigates all the options so we don't have to. After happily weathering installation nightmares, customer service hiccups, and an overwhelming crush of backups, upgrades and downloads, Pogue reports back with his recommendations via his many columns, TV appearances and how-to books. And he does it all with relatable insight, humor and an unsinkable sense of pun, er, fun. All that, and he sings, too. This is very good tip. Due to tips, my smart life becomes more smart. I'm iPhone user. So some tips really are of help to using iPhone. And using spacebar for down&up scroll also is of use to seeing internet screens. Thank you so much. In Windows 7: If you don't like the size of the icons on your desktop, hold down the ctrl key and use the scroll feature on your mouse and the size of the icons will change.
Well I am sure that most of you know ctrl+c and ctrl+v for copy and paste, but you should also consider ctrl+x to cut. I use this all the time in excel and need to use it more outside of excel because I know so many other places where I could use this lol.
In any windows browser, use alt+tab to switch between programs (this is especially useful if you play computer games that take up the entire screen as you don't have to close the game to go to windows).
Ctrl+tab allows you to toggle between your internet tabs so you don't have to use a mouse.
For those who work with folder that have MANY documents in them and need to efficiently get to a certain folder type the letter that the folder/document starts with and it wil toggle to a document that starts with that letter, continue hitting that letter and you will continue to toggle until you get to your desired folder/document, then click enter to open the folder/document.
Looking for a specific word in most programs (PDF, .doc, web browsers, a folder, etc...)? ctrl+f has helped me find specific words in large documents (eg: research papers, series 7 exam manual pdf) that relate to a specific topic so you don't have to skim read through a document to find what you are looking for.
To copy a file, press and hold down the CTRL key while you drag the file to another folder.
If you print often, ctrl+p in any document to open the print menu. This has saved me boatloads of time at work.
In any MS office product. •CTRL+B: Bold •CTRL+U: Underline •CTRL+I: Italic Alt+F4: Close Window and to shut down your computer Ctrl+F4: Close tab (for browsers, multiple documents running in one window, etc.) Ctrl+T: Opens a new tab for browsers
Home: Brings you to the top of the webpage/document or the beginning of the line in a text box. End: Brings you to the bottom of the webpage/document or the end of the line in a text box.
(I suggest trying Home and End with different applications. For example, in Adobe Reader, Home takes you to the top of the first page, and End takes you to the top of the last page when you're not selecting text.)
For writing text here are some more things to try out: Ctrl + Arrow/Home/End key: to change position Shift + Arrow/Home/End key: to highlight from one position to the next Shift + Ctrl + Arrow/Home/End key: combines the two above So finally I will advise my friends to watch this video and you will know a lot about computer keyboard. Very interesting and useful video !!!
Hello everybody !!! I want to present you another video that I watched on TED and it is called Could the sun be good for your heart? At first when you read this you think of course it will be good for your heart and you are right.But other may think not at all you are right too. But now we will know more about sun and about our hearts. Our bodies get Vitamin D from the sun, but as dermatologist Richard Weller suggests, sunlight may confer another surprising benefit too. New research by his team shows that nitric oxide, a chemical transmitter stored in huge reserves in the skin, can be released by UV light, to great benefit for blood pressure and the cardiovascular system. What does it mean? Well, it might begin to explain why Scots get sick more than Australians ... Dermatologist Richard Weller wants to know: Why are Scots so sick? A little about him. Edinburgh-native Richard Weller was studying medicine in Australia when something suddenly struck him as odd: Why are the Scots so sick? Australians suffer from heart disease at one-third the rate that Britons do, with lower death rates from heart attacks and heart failure, and fewer strokes overall. When Weller looked into it, this wasn't unique to Australia and England: In fact, there are wide gaps in mortality even within the UK, a gradient which maps roughly ... geographically? A five-degree change in latitude -- between London and Edinburg, for example -- shows a nearly 20 percent higher rate of mortality. Weller and his team have been working ever since to crack this mysterious gap, and most recently their research shows it may be related to exposure to sunlight. Nitric oxide (NO), a chemical transmitter produced by the skin and stored in great reserves, is released by exposure to UV rays, and this in turn is very important to cardiovascular health. Weller is a senior lecturer in Dermatology at the University of Edinburgh. His two areas of study are the role of NO in human skin physiology and the role of skin barrier function deficiencies in atopic disease. The last point he mentioned was that we need to find the risk benefit ratio of how much sunlight is safe. I agree, at first I didn't know what he was saying but now I understand. Go out, get a shine and don't worry about getting skin cancer because there is a bigger risk of heart disease if you don't. I think it is obvious that the three men who found nitric oxide on skin got the Nobel prize. How would have thought that those kinds of chemicals would be on our skin. Interesting idea. I need to check it, but I am pretty sure that there is such a relationship. For a long time in hte UK we used to keep 'winter wards' which were closed in summer and re-opened for hte annual seasonal increase in acute admissions in winter. There are more heart attacks in winter and it is a busier time for internal medicine doctors in the UK. I don't think there are such strong seasonal changes at lower latitudes where there are in any case not the same pattern of 4 seasons- rather a 'dry' and a 'wet'. Richard Finally I would advise my friends to watch this video cuz it is interesting but I am pretty sure that there would be some people that would not like this video !!!!
Hello!!! I saw an interesting ted talk about water. I think this ted talk will interest you too. This ted talk is by Michael Pritchard who is a scientist. This ted talk name is "How to make filthy water drinkable".And now I will tell about this ted talk Not everyone have good and clean water for example African people they have dirty water and it is bad. In dirty water there are many viruses that people can drink and die. And because of that Michael Pritchard discovered LIFESAVER bottle. This bottle can filter water and make it clean. Than Michael Pritchard show audience how you can clean water with LIFESAVER battle. At first Prichard dropped many dirty thing into a water. I don't want to say what he dropped into a water because it will be very unpleasant. Than Pritchard poured water into LIFESAVER battle and flapped it four or five times and than opened it. Than he poured it into a glass and drunk it all. When he was pouring dirty water into LIFESAVER battle it was brown but when he poured LIFESAVER battle from glass it was very clean. I am giving advise to watch this video because it was very interesting. Thank you for reading.
Hello!!! I saw an interesting ted talk about vultures. This ted talk was by Maunir Virani. And this ted talk's name is "Why I love vultures". I think this ted talk will interest you too. Vultures are very special group of animals. They are amongst the most threatened group of birds. If you see a vulture I think that you will think that that bird is disgusting, ugly and greed creatures. Than presenter said that he wants to change those feelings that we have for these birds. There is a story about vultures that why they have such a bad press. When Charles Darwin went across the Atlantic in 1832 on the beagle, he saw the turkey vulture, and he said, "These are disgusting birds with bald scarlet heads that are formed to revel in putridity." There are two types of vultures: New world vultures and old world vultures. Old world vultures are 16 species. From 16, 11 of them are facing a high risk of extinction and we must love them and take care of them. I am giving advice to watch this ted talk because I learned not to abhor them. Thank you for reading
Hello!! I would like to tell about an interesting ted talk named "Google's driver less car." This ted talk was by Sebastian Thrun. Sebastian Thrun is working in Google technology and he wants to create car that can drive without human. Sebastian Thrun started to create cars when he was 18 years old. When he were 18 years old he lost his first and favorite car. And because of this he gave his life to the cars. And when he became 26 he made the perfect and safe driver less car. And you can drive that cars where you want. For example in California. You can switch auto drive and that car will drive by his self. But sometimes cars are becoming crazy and even do little stunts. In the end I want to say that this ted talk was one of the interesting ted talks that I ever saw and because of that I am giving advice to watch this video. Thank you for reading.

Hi everyone!!! Ihad listened a TED talk about design and games design.Firts i want to say that design is a veryy good and everything must be design i don't thik that because Design is not all things.So in this ted his author Paola Antonelli said that games design is veryyy veryyy gooooood.And in this ted he had a list good design first is Pacman i love that gam and “It goes without saying, but let’s say it: an absolute milestone, not only because it was inspired by pizza and the ghosts are so cute one almost roots for them, but also because it stands as the archetypical maze game.” Toru Iwatani (Japanese, born 1955). Publisher: NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. 1980-1981. It says one man.2th is Tetris and ”Or, ‘Engineers Just Wanna Have Fun.’ It is a pillar in history (not only of video games): elegant, simple, timeless, irresistible — and Alexey Pajitnov recreated for us the original game he designed for the USSR’s Academy of Sciences.” Alexei Pajitonov (Russian, born 1955). 1984. Video game. 3th is Another World.“A technological and aesthetic breakthrough for the time–its sound effects and editing inspired a new wave in game design — it is still a fiercely elegant cinematic platformer game.” Éric Chahi (French, born 1967). 1991. Video game. 4th myst.Then The sims 1,2,3.Vib-Ribbon.“This is a lovely game that responds to the music the player chooses (the ‘preassigned’ demo plays to a haunting tune that reminds me of Jay-Z’s ‘Hard Knock Life’). But more than anything, its minimal graphics remind me of a cartoon I grew up with in Italy, Osvaldo Cavandoli’s La Linea.” Masaya Matsuura (Japanese, born 1961). Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. 1997-1999. video game. EVE Online.Dwarf Fortress.it is a good game.
Hello everyone!Today I have watched a very interesting video called "Finding the story inside the painting".The presenter was Tracy Chevalier.Now I am going to write about the video.At first I will present what she thinks about this topic and then I will write about three pictures,which were the best for her. Tracy started her speech with an example of her own life.She told that one day she went to the art gallery,where were a lot of rooms with nice and attractive pictures on the walls.She looked at the pictures,but she couldn't think about this pictures,she only thought about getting back home and having a cup of tea in order to wake up and start thinking.Then she thought that when we went to a restaurant,we didn't order every single food that they had,we ordered some of the food they had (not more than 5 kinds of food)or when we went to shopping,we didn't buy every single dress that we saw:we chose some of the,dresses that we liked.Tracy told that the same we could do in the galleries.We could like only two or three pictures,so there was no need to watch every picture and think about them.And now I am going to write about three pictures that Tracy like the most and made stories of it:D 1.The first picture was called "Girl With a Pearl Earring" by Jonannes Vermeer.The picture was really very beautiful,but the most attractive thing (for Tracy) was how that girl looked at Vermeer.In the gallery there wasn't written who was that girl looking at the painter in that way.And Tracy started thinking who that girl could be.At first she thought that she was one of Vermeer's daughters(Vermeer had 11 children),but then she understood that the daughter couldn't look at his father in that way and also they couldn't enter the studio of Vermeer,only the servants could go their in order to clean the room.Tracy thought that she could be their servant,but then she saw that the girl in the picture was wearing an expensive earring,which couldn't be the servant's earring.So Tracy understood that the girl in the picture was Vermeer's wife. 2.Second picture was called "Boy Building a House of Cards" by Chardin,who was a 18th-century French painter.Tracy didn't talk about this picture much and that's why I want to skip this part (the picture was beautiful and attractive,but the story about it wasn't interesting). 3.The last picture was called "Anonymous".This picture was attractive,too.Tracy made a short story about this picture.Tracy called the story "Rozy".I don't want to tell it,because it wasn't so interesting (Tracy wasn't a story maker and it's fine that she didn't write a very interesting story). This TedTalk was very interesting and I don't know why it attracted me.I want to advice my friends and relatives to watch this video.And for addition,the video was 14 minutes,but was so interesting that I didn't understand how the time passed.Thank you for reading !!!
Hello!!! I would like to tell on of the ted talks that I saw. This ted talk was by Peter Fankhauser. This ted talk is very interesting ted talk and I think it will interest you too. This ted talk's name is "Meet Rezero, the dancing ballbaot" This Ted talk is about Rezero. Rezero is a robot. Rezero was developed by group of 10 undergraduate students. Rezero belongs to a family of robots called Ballbots. This robot didn't have wheels and instead of it this robot is balancing and moving on one single ball. Rezero keeps his balance by sensor. And for move Rezero needs to turn the bull and it is driven by three special wheels. These wheels allow Rezero to move into any direction. You can play with Rezero too. Rezero can do tricks. For example you can make him spin. Rezero can follow a person. There are future applications too. One of them that Rezero can be used in exhibitions or parks. With screen it could inform people or show entertaining way. With it you can enter to internet and see where you are or see where you can go by that road. But in hospital this device could be used to carry around medical equipment. I am giving advice to watch this video because if you see this robot you would like to have one of it in your home. Thank you for reading.
Hello everyone!!This is my last TED talk named "Your brain on video games" by Daphne Bavelier.She was talking about video games.She was telling that when we are saying video game we are remembering children.But now video games are playing gran mothers and gran fathers.Nowadays some parents think that it's normal that their children are reading Shakespeare or other books. Now most of children are playing "Call of Duty Black Ops".They are shooting zombies or bad people.Some parents say that -Everyday you are shooting zombies go and read books. It's true. When we are playing video games we are damaging our eyes.She was telling and showing some examples.When people are playing action games for example:5 times in week they will damage their eyes and those who are playing 3 times are not damaging their eyes.Their eyes will be good in future.She was showing game for eyes.There were 8 or 9 yellow and blue smiles in moment blue smiles were becoming yellow but there was still one blue that was not seen to eye and people were saying where is that smile you can watch it in TED and you can try it too. I advise you to listen to this TED talk. Thank you for your reading!!! THE END :)
Hello!!! I saw an interesting ted talk about babies. I think this ted talk will interest you too. This ted talk’s name is "A warm embrace that saves lives". Babies can't regulate their own body temperature. Babies don’t have enough fat to stay warm. And 20 million babies are born every year around the world. And four million of these babies die annually. The first month of babies life it is only job is to grow. There are many illnesses that that babies can get ill because of cold. Because of this Jane Chen and her team gave solution. And that solution is ultra-low-cost. It is small sleeping bag for baby. You can open it. It is waterproof. In it there is pouch of wax that has phase-change material. It is wax-like substance with melting point of human body temperature, 37 degrees Celsius. This product lunched in India in 2010 and the price is 25 dollars. I am giving advice to watch this ted talk to know that not all people and their children can live well like us. Thank you for reading.
Hello!!! I saw an interesting ted talk named "Life lessons through tinkering." This ted talk was by Gever Tulley. Gever Tulley is teacher in Tinkering Schools in United States. In Tinckering school kids can pick up sticks and hammers and other dangerous things. In that school children are trusted. In Tinckering school there are no tests. In that school teachers are not trying to teach any specific things. When children came that school they met with woods, nails and with real tools. And their goal was to ensure that they leave with a better sense of how to make things. In that school teachers teaches how to make things with wood. For example in the video one of the children made wooden airplane and that was very beautiful. There are high and low classes. In low classes children are making airplanes, ships or other thing. But in high classes children are making small houses where they can enter. In the video there were a group of children who were making house in the tree. I am giving advice to watch this ted talk and see how children can make things with wood. Thank you for reading.
My TED is called “Finding the story inside the painting” by Tracy Chevalier. Tracy is suffering from an affliction that almost everyone suffer from. When she’s walking around an Art gallery rooms full of paintings and 15 minutes later she realizes she’s not thinking about the paintings. When she looks at them she doesn’t understand what the picture is about. When she looks at them, she thinks that somebody decided to put them there and thinks they’re good enough to be on that wall. And she feels there unhappy and when she leaves the gallery she feels again unhappy and also guilty, because she can’t understand the gist of the picture. She says that we need a break. For example, when go to restaurant, and take the menu, do we select and order every single food, no of course. So as same as in the gallery, we don’t have to explore every single picture. We can just look at three or even one picture. So, when Tracy goes to the Art gallery, the first thing she does, she goes quite fast, looks at each picture next to her, and when one picture allures her, she stands in front of that picture and starts to look at it patiently and tries to understand what that picture is about, and what that picture tries to say you. She starts to tell herself a story about that picture. She asked to people “Why story? Our DNA tells us to tell a story.” She brought three paintings that made Tracy to think a story about them. The first picture she brought was “Girl with a Pearl Earring” by Johannes Vermeer 17th-century Dutch painter. Tracy thinks that’s the most glorious painting, she first saw when she was 19. In the painting there’s a girl, who looking at you very strangely, you can’t understand if she’s sad or happy. Tracy read a novel about that girl, and she still can’t understand the feelings of that girl. Tracy started to think, who was that girl for the painter. She thought if she was painters daughter, but then changed her opinion, because she wasn’t looking at painter the way daughter would look at father. Then Tracy discovered that the girl was a single servant. But there was one confusing thing, the pearl earring. A single servant couldn’t ware pearl earring. So Tracy thought they were the earring of painters wife, by the way painter had 11 children. It follows that in painter’s house would be very noisy, so the painter could have his own working room. The painter and the girl were alone in that room. And Tracy finally found and made the story of that picture by herself. The second picture she brought was called “Boy Building a House of Cards” by Chardin, who is an 18th-century French painter. Actually, he painted different versions of that picture, Tracy brought the one she loved mostly. In that picture, there’s a guy, who’s trying to build a house of cards and he looks only at cards, not anywhere else. The main idea of this picture that Tracy thought, was that the painter was trying to persuade the boy to tilt his head and to look at him for a while, but the boy was still looking at the cards, and wasn’t tilting his head. And so the painter painted him like that. This was the story of that picture. The third picture was called “Anonymous” by anonymous. This is a Tudor portrait bought by the National Portrait Gallery. There’s a man in a white suit with beautiful buttons and collar. That was a suit of gentleman. Tracy made the story of this picture in a book, it’s a short story. If you want to hear to that find this TED. Follow to Tracy’s advices and you won’t be bored.
This Ted talk's title is "Lisa Bu: How books can open your mind." It's about a chinese girl who, while a child, wanted to first become an athlete, but the parents wanted her to become an engineer, then she wanted to become a chinese opera singer, but the adults weren't serious, didn't like the idea and didn't help her become one. "Nobody to teach me? Fine!", Lisa Bu thought, and turned to books. She replaced parental advice with books' texts. She showed some books she read in China. "I came to US in 1995, and which books did I read? The ones banned in China, of course." She read books like "The Good Earth", which describes China's peasant life, and "Holy Bible". She says the Bible was strange... Lisa Bu claims that encountering a new culture started her habit of comparative reading. For an example, she shows the map she found, the map we use, and the map Chinese students use. She says that a map actually carries somebody's view. Comparative reading is not new. There are even some fields like comparative literature or comparative religion. "If comparative reading is for research, why not do it in daily life?" She reads books in pairs, about different people but same event, about friends with shared experiences, stories in different cultures or genres. "Books give a magic portal which let me connect between people in the past and in the present", she says. "I know I shall never feel lonely again". She says that dream's coming true isn't the only purpose of a dream, it's main purpose is to be in touch. I didn't really understand this talk and I didn't like it, I don't suggest you watch this one.
This one is interesting, named "How much does a video weigh?" It's a very cool and interesting talk, a TED-Ed lesson, about the video's weight and the colour of a mirror. Michael Stevens, the host of VSauce, a Youtube channel full of crazy questions like this ted-ed lesson's title, introduces his channel and some episodes. Vsauce has around 2 million subscribers and each video is watched more than 2 million times. So, he opens 8 random episodes. In the lower-right corner, there's a video named "What colour is a mirror?" People will click it because of the title and watch Michael answer that question. And he answers that question at the TED scene: the mirror is abit, ABIT green. To demonstrate it, we can put 2 mirrors infront of each other so they reflect back and forth forever, and some light will be lost(reflected away, for example), and the mirrors will turn dimmer, greener. The reason is, green light is best reflected by most mirrors. So, how much does a video weigh? A minute of a video is around 10 million electrons, but the electrons in the device don't increase/decrease, so they use power to store all that information or whatever, I didn't understand. Well, in short, a minute of a video is around 0.000000000000000001 grams. That's a really low number though, so we can record even day-long videos, but our computer or whatever device we use will not get any measurably heavier. This Ted lesson was very interesting, this proves that Michael Stevens' videos on Youtube or Vsauce are worth to be watched.
Hello everyone!The next video that I have watched today is called "Txting is killing language".The presenter was John McWhorter.I will tell what I understood from this video.It was too long,but I will tell what I understood from this hole text. What I understand from this video (even by reading the title) is that when people use the words in a different way to write an E-mail or a massege,they forget about writing the words in the right way (they write the words in a different way).Even sometimes we can meet people who speak in that way (they spell the words in the wrong way,the way that they write masseges,E-mails,etc.).For example,the word please is written plz,the word thanks is thx,etc. I personally use the shorten kindes of words in masseges,but I don't forget about the right way of this words (For example,some people write plz and when they must write the right way they write plize:D).So for me it's fine that people write in this way,but they musn't forget about their language. I won't advice my friends and relatives to watch this video,because it wasn't interesting and I have written only the main part,but it was too long and I don't understand why he spoke so much!Thanks for reading!!!♥
Hello everyone again!The last video I have watched today (the last video about what we must write this term) is called "8 secrets of success".The presenter was Richard John.Now I will tell only the 8 facts about success and maybe in the future some of us will enjoy a big success. 1.The first secret of success is the passion.If you have a passion and love your job,you will have a success.And also you must forget about the money you earn. 2.The second secret is the work.As people say nothing comes easily and if your do everything hard you will have fun. 3.The third secret is that you must put everything to do your work.You mustn't be mean and do everything not to lose work. 4.The forth secret is that you must focus. 5.You must push yourself. 6.You must serve and help others. 7.You must have ideas.You must listen,observe,be curious,ask question,solve problems and make connections. 8.And the last secret is the "Persist". Persistance is the number one reason for our success.You gotta persist to failure. I will advice all my friends and realtives to watch this video,because it was interesting and not very long. Wow,done done done...I have done all my Ted Talks.Thanks for reading!!!
My TED is called “Tour the solar system from home” by Jon Nguyen. As a kid, Jon was fascinated with all things air and space. He was watching Nova on PBS. Their school was showing Bill Nye the Science Guy. When he was a student, his neighbor gave him a book for his birthday. It was an astronomy book and he poured over that thing for hours on end, and it was a combination of all these things that inspired him to pursue space exploration as his own personal dream, and part of that dream was, he always wanted to fly around the solar system and visit different planets and visit moons and spacecraft and other things. He found himself at NASA, working for the jet propulsion laboratory, and there their team was challenged to create a 3D visualization of the solar system, they’ve already created it and Jon was showing people their creation. The main thing about this was the fact that everything Jon was doing by his computer, we can do that at home. They built that for the public for us. So he showed the 3D Earth, and we can use the mouse or the keyboard to spin things around. That wasn’t a new thing, because there’s a such thing in Google earth. But in Jon’s group, they do the opposite of Google Earth. Google Earth goes from that view down to our backyard, but they go from that view out to the stars. So they can look the spacecraft. There are many settings in their program and by those programs Jon can go and see what is happening in Saturn or Pluto or in other planets. They can go to Uranus and find what temperature there is and for other planets too. There’s also one setting, which allows you to go 1950 and see the satellites, what they looked like and how many of them were. And they have data from 1950 to 2050. So there are other settings, like when you spin things around the Earth, you can see the sunset on the ISS. Jon wants kids to explore and see things in space by this program, and he also wants kids to be inspired of space like he was.
The next interesting video is called "The 4 ways sound affects us".This video is about the sounds that can not only make us happy but angry too. The host was Julian Treasure.He studies sound and advises businesses on how best to use it. Playing sound effects both pleasant and awful,Julian Treasure shows how sound affects us in four significant ways.Listen carefully for a shocking fact about noisy open-plan offices. He noted that most of the sounds around us are accidental. And it's unpleasant. (The noise of cars). We talk on the street corner, trying to shout down a similar sound and pretending it does not exist. But this habit of ignoring sound shows how we unconsciously treat them. There are 4 ways that sound affects us constantly, and Julian wanted to deepen our understanding and attention to them. The first method - physiological. (Loud alarm sound), a hormone the "fight or flight". Sounds constantly affect our hormone secretion, respiration, heart rate, he had demonstrated, and our brain waves. (The sound of the surf) Its frequency - about 12 cycles per minute. Many of the sound soothing, and it is interesting that 12 cycles per minute - that's about breathing rate sleeper. It gives a great response to the state of rest. We also associate it with stress relief and relaxation. The second way in which sound affects us - it's psychological. Music - the most powerful form of sound, known to us, it affects our emotional state. (Music Adagio Albinioni) For most of us this is exactly bring sadness if he didn't turn it off. But not only musical sounds affect our emotions. Natural sounds are also affected. Singing birds, for example, most of the people affected comforting. (Birds chirping) And it has a foundation in the fact that for hundreds of thousands of years, we have become accustomed to the fact that when the birds are singing, all spooyno. Only worry is when they stop. The third way in which the sounds are affecting us - cognitive. Can not be understood by the two speakers at the same time or, as in this case, two simultaneous speech of one person. Try to hear the other. ("You have to choose who you want to listen to") We have a very small bandwidth to handle voice input, so a similar sound - (Noise in the office) - a very negative impact on performance. If you are forced to work in an office with an open floor plan, your performance is dramatically reduced. And what about those we would not think it is probably not as bad as that. (Ominous music) performance in open-plan offices is only a third of the performance in the silent room. Julian had a little advice for us. If we have to work in these areas, then carry your headphones, for example, with the soothing sound recording type of singing birds. Put them on, and our productivity will triple again to its proper level.
The fourth way in which sound affects us - proactive.it would be surprising if the presence of such an environment, our behavior would change. (Music in the style of "techno" in the car) At a minimum, we try to get away from the unpleasant sound and nice to hear. If he lost it (hammer) for a few seconds,we would be uncomfortable, and if a few minutes, we would be amicable stream began to leave the room. And for those who can not avoid this noise, it causes great damage to health. But the awful sound not only destroys health. Many of the sounds out of place in stores and casual, and even with hostility, and all this strongly affects the amount of sales. Those here who are engaged in retail trade, may turn away, before Julian showed the next slide. They lose up to 30 percent of potential sales because people are leaving their shops faster or just unfolding back at the door. We all do it: leave the room, if there is an unpleasant sound. We can go from the top down, to explore sounds, to analyze the sound stage and then to predict the result of 4, he talked about. And we can go from the bottom up, set the desired results and build a sound stage in order to achieve the desired effect. Finally, there is the scientific method and its application. We are engaged in the construction of sound panoramas. Music - the strongest type of sound, but it is often used incorrectly. A strong it for two reasons. The music is very fast is recognizable, and arising from this association is very strong. (Introductory chord of "A Hard Day's Night" Beatles) The majority found it instantly. Although, those who are younger, maybe not.(The first two notes of the movie "Jaws"), and for most it is also associated with something! But this is only a one-second snippets. Music has a huge impact. But, unfortunately, in the areas of trade, it is used where necessary and not necessary.Julian hopes in the coming years, this will change. Julian told a little about brands, as we have control of brand-name companies. Every brand is trying to create an original sound. Through sound brand can express 8 ways. All of them are important, but in the center - the brand guidelines. Pleased to say that the process has already begun. (Advertising chime Intel) (Ringtone Nokia) And this - the most common melody in the world. Every day, it sounds 1800000000 times and costs nothing to Nokia. For those who have finished their business that will give four golden rules for the use of sound business. First, the sound should match the visual channels of communication about the company. This increases the effect of more than 1,100%! If the audio channel is out of sync, then the effect is reduced by 86%. This is - an order of magnitude: the up and down. This is very important. Second, it must match the situation. Third, it should be valuable. The sound should carry something, not just knock on the ears. Finally, constantly testing. Sound - a difficult thing. It contains a lot of contradictory effects. It is like a plate of spaghetti: sometimes to know what will happen, we just have to eat. Julian hopes my remarks caused us to think about the sound. If we listen to consciously monitor and surround sound, then that's fine will affect both the health and performance. If we all do that, we will reach a state in keeping with the healthy life in this world. In parting - a bit of singing birds. This video was very interesting and informative so I will advice all my friends to watch this video!
My last TED is called “What we learn before we’re born” by Annie Murphy Paul. Annie has an answer “When does learning begin?”. You maybe thought that this question means that when first people went to kindergarten or to school. Annie says that the most important years of learning are the earliest ones. And so our answer to her question would be: Learning begins at birth. Annie gives us surprising idea and maybe implausible, but which is supported by the latest evidence from psychology and biology. The most important learning we ever do, happens before we’re born. Annie is a science reporter and she wrote magazines and books and she’s also a mother. And those two roles came to her in book that she wrote called “Origins”. We all learn about everything, before our birth. So it’s very simple, as everyone knows babies can hear and get an information about the outside world, when they are inside of their mother’s paunch. When babies come to our world, they start to do many things, like walking, smiling, speaking, taking the fork and many other things. Babies also start to remember things, the things, which they’ve done before. So the basic idea that we learn about everything, before our birth is clear. Thank you for reading my last TED.
The next video I have watched is about magic and it was very interesting.The video is called"The magic of truth and lies(and iPods). The host was Marco Tempest,a magician and illusionist for the 21th century.Marco Tempest blends cutting-edge technology with the flair and shownmanship of Houdini. Using three ipods like magical props,Marco Tempest spins a clever,surprisingly heartfelt meditation truth and lies,art and emotion. The whole video was magic show. Marco Tempest was showing some magic tricks.But very interesting tricks.And he was checking how true things people say.And this was very beautiful not only beautiful but fascinating,inspiring. I would advise all my friends to watch this magic show video.Thank you for reading!
Hey guys!Today I have watched a video called "A 12-years-old app developer".This video was a about a boy,a 12 years old boy who is creating apps.This video was very interesting cause it was about apps which we use every day. Most 12-years-olds love playing videogames.Thomas Suarez taught himself how to create them.After developing iPhone apps like "Bustin Jieber",a whack-a-mole game,he is now using his skills to help other kids become developers. Thomas Suarez is that boy who was talking about this all aboout apps.He is a 12 year old boy who taught himself to build iPhone apps. He has always been attracted to computers and technology, and he has written several applications for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. The first application - a unique harbinger of the future «Earth Fortune». This application shows the earth in different colors depending on your luck.His favorite and most successful app called Bustin Jieber. In this game you have to drive out of Justin Bieber.He created this app because a lot of people at school disliked Justin Bieber, so he decided to write this application.He started working on this app, and finished it just before the holidays in 2010. Many people ask him how he wrote this program. In most cases, the questioner wants to learn how to build applications. Today, most children love to play video games but other than that, and they want to do it, but it's difficult, because few of the boys know where to go to learn how to write software. To learn how to play football, you can go to the football club. To learn to play the violin, you can take violin lessons. But what if you want to learn how to write an application? Parents could do something similar when they were young, but few parents engaged in writing programs!Where to go to learn how to write programs? That's how he approaches it. First of all,he has been programming in various languages to learn the basics. These were the languages such as Python, C, Java. Then Apple released the iPhone, and with it, and a suite of applications for software development on the iPhone. Application development package - a set of tools for creating programs on the iPhone. This has opened up for him a world of possibilities, and, after playing a bit with the application package for the design,he made a few test applications. One of them was the «Earth Fortune», and he was ready to put «Earth Fortune» in the AppStore, so he asked his parents to pay a fee of 99 dollars so he can put their applications in the AppStore. They agreed, and now his apps are sold in the AppStore.He supported the family, friends, teachers and even the people in the stores Apple. It helped him a lot.He was heavily inspired by Steve Jobs, and he had organized a club at school applications. One school teacher kindly sponsoring his club. Any student in his school can come and learn how to create an application. So he was sharing his experience with others. There is a program called «iPad Pilot Program». Some districts were using it, and he was fortunate to live in one of them. An important question - how to use iPads and what applications we need to install them?They get feedback from the teachers in the school to see what applications they would like. When they create an application on sale, it's free for local areas, and in other parts of the money goes to local education funds.These days, students usually know a bit more about the technology than the teachers.So this is a resource for teachers, and they need to see this resource and use it. First, he wants to create more applications and games. Now he is working with a private company in the production of applications.He wants to develop for Android, he wants to continue his club applications, and find other ways for students to share knowledge. This video was very interesting so I would advise all my friends to watch this great video!
Next video is called "Legos for grownups".This video was about lego blocks.The host was Hillel Cooperman.The video was very interesting and very informative. When Hillel Cooperman isn't running his startup or seeking out the world's best food,he is investigatig the secret underground world of Lego toys. Lego blocks:playtime mainstay for industrious kids,obsession for many mature adults.Hillel Cooperman takes us on a trip through the beloved bricks' colorful,sometimes oddball grownup subculture,featuring CAD,open-source robotics and a little adult behavior. This video was really interesting and I would advise all my friends to watch this inspiring,innformative and of course interesting video.This was my last TED talk.Done all the bloggings :)
Hi!!! My ted is about climbing everest.We know that everest is a highest mountain in the world.And one day Teds workers said that who can climb everest all and they must cry XTeds and it is good.For example thy want to go their one more time.Nate Mook and Eiso Vaandrager are that climbers and they want to do that one more tima in Ararat mountain in Armenia with UNICEF Armenia and USAID in Armenia and also USAAA.That are corporations.And i also can climb that mountain and i climed at aragats moutain.
My ted is about Education and 7 talks about it.And i know that in Armenia Education is good and no good 50:50.I think that.And education is a thing that everyone must have and if you don't have education you can't find work or another thing.AND FIRST talk is talken by Dan Meyer: Math class needs a makeover.A high-school math teacher, Dan Meyer says the experience of teaching within the set curriculum is like “[selling] a product to a market that doesn’t want it, but is forced by law to buy it.” His students don’t learn how to retain information, but instead, how to decode a textbook. The key, for him, lies in trusting in students’ ability to problem-solve. In this talk from TEDxNYED, he imagines lessons where kids are involved in the formulation of problems.then Mae Jemison on teaching arts and sciences together.At TED2002, astronaut and designer Mae Jemison points out a false dichotomy: that the arts and sciences are mutually exclusive. In this outdated view, students are either creative or logical. Instead, she says, students need to be treated as both — because their curiosity often leads them to design and physics. Analysis, ingenuity and imagination all stem from our inclination towards creativity, she says.Then is Liz Coleman’s call to reinvent liberal arts education The president of Bennington College, Liz Coleman posits at TED2009 that modern liberal arts education pushes students towards a single discipline with an exclusive viewpoint with an aversion to social values. Coleman emphasizes that the responsibility of academics is to empower students instead of deflate them. She stresses the importance of action and self-driven education, and how with them a new liberal arts can emerge.Next is Shimon Schocken: The self-organizing computer course In this talk from TEDGlobal 2012, computer science professor Shimon Schocken shares the idea that educators don’t necessarily need to actively teach, but instead can provide an environment for self-learning. In his lessons, he gives his students the tools and guidance to build a computer from the bottom up, giving them ownership over their learning. Seeing the success of this model, Schocken then open-sourced the course online – and saw it take on a life of its own.Another is Geoff Mulgan: A short intro to the Studio School Faced with droves of uninspired dropouts and employers who complained about the new generation’s lack of experience, Geoff Mulgan asked, “What kind of school would have teenagers fighting to get in, not fighting to stay out?” At TEDGlobal 2011, he shares his findings — the simple idea that you learn by working. Thus, the Studio School was created, with pupils getting real world experience in business and the trades, while they contribute to their communities.Then Tyler DeWitt: Hey science teachers – make it fun High school science teacher Tyler DeWitt had a scary classroom moment – he walked into school excited for a lesson on bacterua, only to find that his class hasn’t understood a lick of the assigned reading. At TEDxBeaconStreet, he calls for science teachers to rethink their lesson plans and ask: do they involve a lot of jargon? Are they so precise that they keep students from getting the basic concepts? More than anything, he asks teachers not to lean on textbooks but to find ways to make science pop to life.
---My 7th TED Erik Brynjolfsson, the host of this TED talk, speaks about human work, machines' work, and humans' work with the machines'. The title is "The key to growth? Race with the machines." 120 years ago, American factories were electrified and electricity replaced steam engines, but it didn't change the productivity of the factories for 30 years, long enough for alot of managers to retire. The thing is, the managers didn't redesign the factories to take advantage of electricity's flexibility. The next generation invented new work process which made the productivity soar, doubling or even tripling it. Electricity is an example of General Purpose Technology, which was steam engines in the older days. General Purpose Technology drive most of the economic growth, because they unleash cascades of innovations like lightbulbs. Nowadays' General Purpose Technology is the computer, of course. "But technology isn't enough, it's not our destiny", Erik says, "We shape our destiny." We should reinvent our factories like the old ones. But because of technology, humans don't work much, and their salaries and incomes are decreasing. The New Machine age, as Erik calls it, is digital, exponential and combinatorial. Digital means the goods you get are high quality, nearly zero cost, and you receive them almost instantly. Exponential means technology gets better faster than anything ever. For example, a PlayStation is more effective than a super military computer from 1996. Combinatorial, because the ideas are used up, and each innovation being used up is a building block for more innovations. The problem here is, we create intelligent and effective technology which leaves people without any work. Technology races ahead, leaving more and more people behind. Technology replaces humans in all industries and more people are now jobless. Some people are rich or fine on their money, but the others have no jobs, completely. People race AGAINST the machine, most of them lose. To make some shared prosperity, instead of racing AGAINST the machine, we have to race WITH the machine. That's The Grand Challenge of the humanity. For example, machines beat human grandmasters with their systems, but Kasparov, who lost to a machine, organised a freestyle tournament, teams which include both humans and computers. The winning team has neither a grandmaster nor a supercomputer, they have just winning teamwork. Technology isn't our destiny, we shape our destiny. Race WITH the machine. Thank you for reading.
Hi.My last Ted is about Memory games.And Ted workrs said that Memory games is good and another part said that it is bad, and i don't know which is true or false.Memory games are good for memory and for anything in the world said t Scott Fraser.And this he wrote in the Internet.And in Facebook,Twitter,Yahoo,Gmail etc. BUT Daniel Kahneman thought taht with radio he can speak and radio id more popular than Interner thought he.And i don't what is more popular.
AND To close the show, writer and US Memory Champion Joshua Foer.He is a writer and he is a POPULAR. These striking images give him something notable to associate with an ordinary memory. This practice has been used by memory champions as far back as Ancient Greece, and anyone can use this tool. If you want to have good memory, says Foer, all you need to do is practice.
Hi friends!!! My next ted is called “Underwater astonishment”. The announcer is David Gallo. In this ted he shows some really amazing videos about sea and talk about underwater life.
Anyone that had a lovely opportunity to go on a dive to the deep sea knows that two and half hours after dipping, there comes a really quite dark world. And in that world you will see creatures that you can’t even describe; you will see the world of bioluminescence, calamari, squid, cuttlefish and some other astonishing animals.
David Gallo started his speech with description of bioluminescence. This is like fireflies. But according to the video sometimes it looks like a turkey flying under the water. These animals use bioluminescence to avoid being eaten, or to attract prey. Also some of the colors on them are designed to hypnotize. Anyway every single dive and any of bioluminescence individually are amazing.
The next he said that this is unknown world. And what is the most surprising we have only exploded 3 percent of what’s out there in the ocean. There is still 97 percent, and either that 97 percent is just empty or full of surprises.
Then he presented squids. In the video was shown how male squids fight for females. When they are fighting and they are aggressive, males become white. And when one of the males wins, it tries to do everything for keeping off the other males from the female…. The next was cuttlefish. This animal has droopy little eyes, but can do pretty amazing things, too. It can change the color of the body to disappear right into the background. And the patterns that they do on their body look pretty cute.
And the last animal, in my opinion is the most amazing. I was really surprised. I am talking about octopus. Of course I listened about these animal many things and saw it in many TV programs, but I did not know that octopuses are like chameleons. In the video was shown the moment when octopus was near coral reef. Suddenly Roger, the man who was shooting, spooked this poor animal and in just 3 seconds it changed the color and texture and became like the coral reef near him. It was really marvelous when octopus changed colors.
I like this ted very much. It was really interesting, especially the part with octopus. So I would advice my friends to watch this video.
The next ted is about icebergs. In this ted announcer Camille Seaman tries to discover for viewers all the beauty of icebergs and to present all the feelings that she got being near icebergs. In her works she tries to articulate that humans are not separated from nature and that everything is interconnected in this world.
Camille Seaman went to Antarctica almost 10 years ago, and when she first saw icebergs she could not breathe. It was amazing, astonishing. The icebergs around her were almost 200 feet out of water and she could not believe that this was one snowflake on top of another snowflake, year after year.
In the middle of her speech Camille started to explain what the icebergs are. Icebergs are born when they separate from glaciers or break off of ice shelves. Each iceberg has its own individual personality. Each of them interacts with the environment in a different way. Some of them refuse to give up and hold on to the bitter end while others can’t continue like that anymore and crumble. When you look at icebergs you often think that they are isolated, they are alone. But the reality is far from it. While the iceberg melts, we can breathe in its ancient atmosphere. As it melts, it is releasing mineral-rich fresh water that contains many forms of life.
The remarkable thing is that Camille approaches photographing these icebergs as if she is making portraits of her ancestors, knowing that in these individual moments they existed. Moreover, when icebergs melt, it is not a death; it is not the end, but the continuation of their way through the cycle of the life.
In the last photo she presents a very unique iceberg which she captured in Qeqertarsuaq, Greenland. From the pictures we can see that the iceberg is rolling. It is a very rare occasion when you are being the witness of such a phenomenon. That is an average-size Greenlandic iceberg and it’s about 120 feet above the water.
My 8th TED talk was short, but it had a point. The name is "Judy MacDonald Johnston: Prepare for a good end of life." Judy says that she helped 2 friends have the death they wanted in the last few years. Jim and Shirley Modini spent their years of marriage in their ranch. She met Jim and Shirley in their 80s, they were a couple which decided not to have kids. Judy became their friend, trustee and medical advocate, but more importantly, she managed their death experiences. In the ends, they faced cancers and different illnesses. What she found is that the right plan and the right people, the quality of life can remain high while the independence and body functions are going to zero. The Beginning of the End was the time to tie loose ends, and Jim and Shirley chose ACR nature preserves to take their ranch over when they die. This was the peace of mind to advance. It might be either a diagnosis or your intuition, but some day you will say "This is going to get me." The Modinis spent that time informing their friends that they will die sooner or later and that they were fine with it. The last days came. Jim died first, he was conscious until the very end. He couldn't talk the last day, Judy just told him they will look after Shirley. From that experience Judy shares 5 practices and has published worksheets online. The 1st part is making a plan. Most people say "I'd like to die at home", but almost everyone is dying in hospitals, so this is not an option. Others say "Just shoot me", but that's illegal-not an option again. You have to answer direct questions about where, how do you want to die. For that, you need advocates, which is the 2nd part. People usually choose their children or other relatives, but it's better to choose someone with lots of time and proximity, who can work with an everchanging situation. For the 3rd part, you have to be hospital-ready, it's critical. Prepare a page of your medical history and things important as that and you're fine. But before dying in the hospital, you have to be looked after, the 4th part is about finding caregivers. Either you're going for an elder care community or dying at home, do not settle. Judy went through alot of right and wrong caregivers, and made a team led by Marsha, who won't let you win at bingo just because you're dying. The last part is discussing last words. Judy says that in her experience, it's good to hear that everything will be fine here and everything will be looked after. This interesting, yet short and abit boring talk really had a point. The website of the worksheets is goodendoflife.com. Thank you for reading.
The next ted is about nanotechnology spray. In this video Mark Shaw demonstrates how waterproof materials are made with the help of that nanotechnology spray which is called “Ultra-Ever dry”. That spray can be applied to almost any material. When you apply it to the material it turns into a super hydrophobic shield. After saying this Mark Shaw took a cinder block and a part of it covered with the spray. Then he poured water on the surface of the block. So the part which was not covered with spray absorbed water, but the other-covered part did not. Then he showed another example. He took a pair of gloves and coated one of the gloves with the spray. When the gloves were in the water, both of them were wet. But when he took them out of the water the coated one was dry.
With nanotechnology and nanoscience we have an opportunity to investigate atoms and molecules and even use them for great benefits. But these particles are really very small. To imagine how small they are we can just say that one nanometer, which is used to measure the size of nanotechnology, is a billionth of the meter. And if you had a nanoparticle that was one nanometer thick, and you put it side by side, and you had 50,000 of them, you'd be the width of a human hair. So these particles are very small, but the same time so useful.
Moreover, it is not just water that this spray works with. There are a lot of other water-based materials like paint, mud also some oils.
During other demonstration Mark Shaw took a pane of glass and framed it with the nanotechnology spray. Then he poured green colored water inside the middle of the glass. If the glass had not been framed with the spray water would be spread out on glass as it is normal. But in that case when water hit the coating, it stopped. It is that afraid of water.
And what is the most remarkable we can use this spray in many aspects of our life. The applications in a general sense could be anything that's anti-wetting. It could be even anti-corrosion, as no water-no corrosion. It could be antibacterial, as without water bacteria won’t survive.
And at the end of the video he performed the last example. Using the nanotechnology spray he wrote the name “TED” with water-based red color on white surface. It was very beautiful.
In my 5th TED neuroscientist and inventor Christopher deCharms demonstrates a new way to use MRI to show brain activity-thoughts, emotions, pain, while it is happening. He says that soon we will be able to look inside our brain and control hundreds of brain areas.
People have wanted to look inside the human mind and human brain for thousand years, but they could not as they did not have technologies. But now, for our generation it is possible to do that. People imagine that it is very difficult to do that. Sometimes we even imagine that it is like to take a space ship, to make it smaller and inject it into our bloodstream. It will be extremely dangerous, as we can be attacked by white blood cells in arteries. But now, with technologies we do not have to use any spaceship.
After this he introduces his colleague Peter’s brain. Without using any injection and radiation, using just MRI he investigates Peter’s brain and mind. When Peter changes the position of any part of his body, Christopher can see it on display. But the question is that all this we could see even years ago, using scanners.
So what new opportunities does MRI give us today? NOW the process of brain research instead of taking weeks or months takes just milliseconds. SO now for example Peter can look at his brain in real time as he's inside the scanner. He can look at these 65,000 points of activation per second. And if he can see this pattern in his own brain, he can learn how to control it. There have been three ways to impact the brain: pills, knife and therapist’s coach. But MRI is the forth alternative way to control our minds. Using this method we can do anything with our body, which we could not before. For example now people with chronic pain can see and control their brain. As they control their brain they can control their pain too.
At the end of the video Christopher deCharms marks that this is not “Matrix”. Only we can do this to ourselves. We can control our brains. We will be able to look at the aspects of our brain which make us ourselves, all our experiences. So we are the first generation that's going to be able to enter into, using this technology, the human mind and brain. But is that as good as we think?
This TED is interesting, but I can’t imagine how MRI works. I just can’t understand how we can control our minds, our action and even pain.
The next TED is called “The magic of truth and lies”. In this video using three iPods like magical goods, Marco Tempest a clever, surprisingly genuine meditation on truth and lies, art and emotions. In the video he shows an application on which he has been working for a long time. That application synchronizes videos across multiple screens of mobile devices. So using that application and 3 iPods he tells a little bit about his favorite subject: deception.
As additional information Marco says that one of his favorite magicians Karl Germain had this wonderful trick where a rosebush would bloom right in front of your eyes. And once, when Marco asked him about deceptions, Karl Germain answered that MAGIC IS THE ONLY HONEST PROFESSION. A MAGICIAN PROMISES TO DECEIVE YOU –AND HE DOES.
After this Marco says that likes to think of himself as an honest magician, but sometimes he uses a lot of tricks, which means that he has to lie. And he feels bad about it. But people lie every day, even if they do not have to.
And after this he brings some examples of how people lie every day and every hour. Deception is an important part of our life. Now polls show that men tell 2 times more lies than women.
People lie to show their advantages and to hide weaknesses. The Chinese general Sun Tzu said that all the wars were based on lies. The same said Oscar Wilde about romance. Sometimes we lie ourselves. It is called self-deception. That's when we convince ourselves that a lie is the truth. Compulsive gamblers are great examples of self-deception.
Than in the room “Clair de Lune” started and Marco said that the composer of it Debussy said that art was the greatest deception of all. Art is a deception that creates real emotions- a lie creates a true.
There is no doubt, that deception is not good thing. BUT sometimes it helps us to create an illusion for ourselves-an illusion which helps us to live. For example in this vast and lonely cosmos, we are so wonderfully optimistic. Our self-deception becomes a positive illusion, which again helps us TO LIVE.
During the whole video all the speech of Marco Tempest about truth and lie, art and emotions is accompanied with an amazing show of 3 IPods. I have never seen such a magic before and I can’t describe it with words. So I would advice all my friends to watch this video and to feel all the delight that I had, watching this video.
The next TED is from playlist “Did you know?” and is called “10 top time-saving tech tips”. In the video tech columnist David Pogue shares 10 simple, clever tips for computer, web, Smartphone and camera users.
1.When you are on the web and you want to scroll down, do not use the scroll bar. That is a terrible waste of time. Instead, hit the space bar. Use the Shift key to scroll back up. It works in every browser on every kind of computer.
2.On the web, when you are filling in a form like addresses or something like that, use TAB to jump from one box to another. And what about pop-up menu, where you put in your state, there is no need to open that menu. Just type the first name of your state over and over in the box. For example C, C, C for Connecticut. T, T for Texas and etc.
3.Again on the web when the letters of the text which you read are too small, just press Ctrl and then +++. You make the text bigger with each tap. And use Ctrl and --- to make the text smaller. This tip also works on any computer. Just if you are on the Mac, it can be Command instead of Ctrl.
4.When you're typing on your Blackberry, Android, iPhone, there is no need to switch layouts to the punctuation layout to hit the period and then a space and then try to capitalize the next letter. Just press the space bar twice and your phone will put the period, space or capital letter instead of you.
5.This tip is also about cell phones. If you want to redial somebody that you've dialed before, all you have to do is hit the call button, and it puts the last phone number into the box for you, so you don't need to go into the recent calls list.
6.This tip will be very useful when you call and leave a message on your voicemail and when you have to listen to the sound saying: “Leave a message" and after that 15 seconds of instructions. So if you do not want to listen to those instructions you just need to use a special keyboard shortcut.
7.Most of us think that Google is something which lets us to find websites. BUT it is also a dictionary. Type any word that you want and Google will show you the definition. And there is no need to click anything. Google is also a complete FAA database. Type the name of the airline and the flight and it will show you where the flight is, the gate, the terminal, how long till it lands. And no need to use any app for this. Google is also a unit and currency conversation.
8.The next tip is about highlights. When you want to highlight a word, don't waste your life dragging across it with the mouse jus double click the word.
9.Shutter lag is the time between your pressing the shutter button and the moment the camera actually snaps. It's extremely frustrating on any camera under 1,000 dollars. But if you pre-focus with a half-press, leave your finger down, no shutter lag. You will get it every time.
10.And the last one will be useful for presenters. Sometimes when someone is giving a talk, for some reasons audience looks at the slides instead of that person. So when that happens, all that you do is to press B from keyboard to black out the slides or W to unblank them. This tip works in Keynote, PowerPoint and in many other programs.
So these are the 10 technology tips for time-saving that David Pogue presented in the video. What about my opinion: this video is absolutely not interesting. All the tips that David presents in the video are very primitive. Almost all computer users know about these tips. And for example it is not a terrible waste of time, if you use Scroll bar instead of pressing Space or Shift.
In this TED talk announcer Renny Gleeson helps to understand what “404 page not found” actually is.
The 404 is broken experience on the Web. It's the default page when you ask a website for something and it can't find it. And after that it shows you the 404 page. It's a feeling of being broken when you go through it. And it is really annoying. Sometimes we think about things such as where does 404 actually come from, why exactly 404, not for example 500 or 608. 404 from a group of errors actually -- a whole set of relationship errors, like in family.
But it is everywhere. 404 is in both big and small sites. This is a global phenomenon.
Renny Gleeson headed up a technology incubator to find out 404 come from and they had eight startups sitting around there. But they did not find anything until Athletepath, a website that focuses on services for extreme athletes, found a video, which they inserted in their 404 page and it was like a light bulb went off forwhere everybody in the place. Because finally there was a page that actually felt like what it felt like to hit a 404.
So this turned into a contest. For example Dailypath that offers inspiration put inspiration on their 404 page. It turned into a 24-hour contest. At 4:04 the next day, Gleeson’s team gave out $404 in cash. And what they learned was that those little things, done right, actually matter, and that well-designed moments can build brands. 404 is an error page, but what if this error page was also an opportunity?
So it was a moment in time where all of these startups had to sit and think about what they could be. Because what they figured out from this exercise was that a simple mistake can tell people what you're not, or it can remind them of why they should love you. Thank you for your attention!!!
Of course paved roads are nice to look at, but they’re easily damaged and costly to repair. In the video which I have watched Erik Schlangen demonstrates a new type of porous asphalt made of simple materials with an astonishing feature. When it is damaged it can be “healed” by using heating.
Porous asphalt now is used in most of the highways in the Netherlands, it has pores and water can just rain through it, so it will be easy to drive on such a road, because there will not be any splash water anymore. Also the noise will disappear in these pores, so it will be also very silent road. Of course this road has both advantages and disadvantages. And the disadvantage of this road is that raveling can occur. Because of that the windshield can be damaged and potholes can appear.
But due to many experiments there is a solution for this problem. To solve this problem we just need self-healing material like a steel wool, which will be mixed to the bitumen and also an induction machine, for cooking this asphalt.
When this asphalt is read what you need to do is to heat up the steal. Because of this bitumen will be melting, will flow into the micro-cracks and the little stones will again be fixed to the surface. Erik Schlangen’s group showed this asphalt to the government and got a permission to do some experiments on A58 road. And the results of that experiment were great, as there were not any damages during 4 years.
At the end of the video Erik Schlangen showed how that type of asphalt works. He took two pieces of that asphalt, heated them in microwave and then joined them. The result was amazing.
This TED is my favorite. It is about Ludwick Marishane and about how he created Drybath. Ludwick Marishane grew up in a little town called Mototema, which is on the bordered of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. In that city water and electricity supply are as unpredictable as the weather and growing in tough situations is of course very hard. Once when Ludwick was relaxing with his friends under the Sun, one of his friends asked if there was somebody who invented something using which there was no need to have a bathe.
After that question Ludwick went home and did some researches, results of which were shocking. According to the results NOW 2.5 billion people on the Earth do not have proper access to water and sanitation. 450 million of them are in Africa. Because of this various diseases thrive in the environment and the most dangerous is called trachoma. Trachoma is an infection of an eye due to dirt getting into the eye. Sometimes results of trachoma can be tragic, as it can leave people permanently blind. This infection leaves blind 8 million people each year. The most shocking fact about this infection is that for treating it we need just clean water: nor injection neither medicine.
Exactly these shocking statistics mad him to create Drybath. On his Nokia 6234 cell phone he did researches in Google about lotions, creams, the composition and the toxicities. So after many researches he got the formula. But he needed to get it into practice. And after having written a 40 page business plan he became the youngest patent-holder in the country. AND… no more bathing-nothing to add any more!!! He had invented Drybath, The world’s first bath-substituting lotion. You just put it on your skin and there is no need to bathe. Now Drybath is available in markets. It is important that Ludwick did everything for poor people being able to buy Drybath. Now even rich children want to buy this lotion. Anyway, now using Drybath we can save 80 million liters of water on average.
After having such a big success, they made such a motto for themselves: CLEANLINESS AND CONVENIENCE. DryBath is a rich man's convenience and a poor man's lifesaver.
A year ago Google named Ludwick Marishane as one of the brightest minds in the world. He is also currently the best student entrepreneur in the world. And the one thing that always puzzles Ludwick is that just because he did not want to bathe. And the most amazing thing is that on the gravel roads of Limpopo, having just 50 rand a week, he came up with a way for the world not to bathe. SO WHAT IS STOPPING US???
This is my last reflection of TED talk and I am as happy about it as sad. I WILL MISS YOU ALL VERY, VERY MUCH GUYS, com11, the buffet, AUA at all and of course DEAR MISS ADELINA!!!
As the first writer I want to say that it is very interesting and more interesting to watch a video than listening to podcast.So I have watched a video called "The shared experience of absurdity".This video is about pranks which have donr Charlie Todd.Charlie Todd is the creator of Improv Everywhere, a group that creates absurd and joyful public scenes.This video is very funny.Charlie Todd started a project 12 years ago when he moved to New York city with an interesting acting and comedy.Caus he was a newcomer and cause he coudn't have a play on stage he decided to do it create his own in public places.So the first project he had done is called "No pants".This happened on January 2002.Charlie Todd decided to do a prank in metro.And there was a woman in the metro and she was reading a book and suddenly she saw a man(Charlie Todd)coming in but without pants.She was shoked and she was looking at this man with surprise.At first but there was not only a man but they were four.Then a few minutes ago came another man without pants.She was surprised and shoked again.A few minutes ago another man came but now she was laughing because she knew that it was January and nobody is crazy to do such thing.It was a prank but funny prank.And Charlie Todd wanted to make fun of people so he didn't do something horrible.
ReplyDeleteThe next project was called "Look up more".One day Charlie Todd was walking at Union Square and suddenly he saw a girl dancing in building which was built in 2005.It was dark outside but there were lighting in.Suddenly Charlie Todd noticed another girl who came and hugged the first girl.Maybe she was her friend and they started to dance.At that moment Charlie understood what he was going to do.More than seventy actors came to thta building and they were catching a big board paper.On that paper was written "Look up more".And one of the actors was dancing like freaking idiot then another actor was dancing and so on.More than three thousand five hundred people were watching them.
The next project is called "Best Buy".It was very funny cause in best buy the sellers were wearing blue polo shirts and light brown pants.And the actors were wearing blue polo shirts and light brown pants.The sellers were surprised.And they call the police but ythe police said that it isn't illegal to wear blue polo shirt and brown pants.
This video was very interesting and funny.I can say very funny.I really like watching videos.I would advise my friends to watch to this episode cause they will laugh a lot.There were also some few words which I didn't know.
Hello everyone!Finally,we started to do another thing,because I was tired of podcasts.I really liked the video which I have watched.The video that I have watched is named "My journey to yo-yo mastery".A boy called Black came and told about his story,which was very interesting for me.Black told that when he was 14 years old,he thought that he wasn't talanted at anything and couldn't do anything good.But one day he bought a yo-yo and after that his life changed.When he bought his yo-yo he couldn't play with it,even the simplest trick,but it was very natural for him.He practiced a week and he could do the trick better.That time he understood that yo-yo was the game with which he could play every time.He loved it.It was the first thing he loved so much.He found his passion.He spended his time on playing with yo-yo and practicing.Every time he played with yo-yo better and better.Four years later,when he became 18,he compited in the World Yo-Yo Contest and he won.He thought that he would be popular and would get a lot of money.But when he came back to Japan nothing changed in his life.He relized that he had to go to college and forget about yo-yo.BUT...he understood that he couldn't live without yo-yo.He understood that he had to make performances and attract people.
ReplyDeleteWhen he finished speaking he started to do some tricks,which were very interesting.At first his tricks were simple,so they didn't attract me.But then he did tricks which attracted me.I was really surprised.This video was very interesting.There wasn't any podcast which was more interesting than this.
I want to advice you to watch this video,because it is a very interesting video.I hope that you will watch and like it.And if this was a true story,I am very happy that this man is such a tallented person...
Ted talk caled "Steve Jobs: How to live before you die".
ReplyDeleteIt was an amazing video.) In this video Steve Jobs was speaking about his life, about HIS STORY.
His biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put him up for adoption. She felt very strongly that he should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for him to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when he popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So his parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call asking: "We have a baby boy, do you want him? " They said: "Of course. " His biological mother later found out that his mother had never graduated from college and that his father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when his parents promised that he would someday go to college. And 17 years later he went to college. After six months he couldn't see the value in it. Steve had no idea what he wanted to do with his life and no idea how college was going to help him figure it out. He think that it was one of the best decisions he ever made. He stoped taking the required classes that didn't interest him, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.He didn't have a dorm room, He slept on the floor in friend's rooms. He returned coke bottles for the 5cent deposits to buy food. He decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do it.
He learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great.
Ten years later, they designed the first Macintosh computer, into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If he had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.If he had never dropped out, he would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.
Hi everybody today I will write about The dance of dugle beetles.This beetles are very interesting beetles.In the whole world there are 6000 species of dugle beetles.They are living in Africa and some other places too that i don't remember!!!:D.Why are they dancing? Now I will tell you about it.Theye are eating food called dugles.This dugles are like coconut.Some people were doing expirements in that dugles.When beetles were going with that dugles home people saw that they were dancing in that dugles.And the most interesting thing was that they are dancing more fast when the groung is hot but when the ground's temperature is low they are dancing very slowly.Their foot are working like transport for their food.They are very clever animals because they know what they want and they know where to go.
ReplyDeleteThis podcast was very interesting podcast for me because I knew about new insects.
Thank you for your reading!!!

Hello
ReplyDeleteI saw a Ted and now I want to tell about it. Ted's name is “A mini robot- powered by your phone”. I think you will like this Ted.
The presenter was speaking about robots. The presenter shows an interesting robot that that robot can be your friend. That robot is only working with iPhone. When you turn on your iPhone to that robot you can not use your phone because when you switch on to that robot it's becomes your friend.
When you switch on your iPhone to that robot on your iPhone's screen comes face. That robot can move too. When you go to right it will come with you. It’ss same if you go to left. Even you can scare him or you can laugh to him and he will laugh you too.
That robot even has an app in apple app store for iPad. With that app you can control that robot and you can see what is doing that robot.
I’m giving advice to watch this video because it was very interesting and because you can see that cute robot with your eye.
Thank you for reading !!! :))

ReplyDeleteMy TED is about “A bath without water”. The presenter of this TED is a guy, whose name is Ludwick Marishane, his from Africa, town Motetema. If you pay an attention on the title, you’ll understand that in Ludwick’s town there’s no water. It's so hot in his town that Ludwick and his friends were sunbathing in winter. During the sunbathing one the of Ludwick’s friends asked him “”why doesn’t somebody invent something that you just can put on your skin and then you don’t have to bathe?”. This question interested Ludwick. He went home and found some shocking statistics. He found out over 2.5 billion people in the world today don’t have proper access to water and sanitation. 450 million of them are in Africa and 5 million of them are in South Africa. There are horrible diseases in that places. One of the most drastic of which is called “trachoma”. Trachoma is an infection of the eye due to dirt getting into person’s eye. Because of this infection you can become blind. 8 million people are becoming blind because of this infection each and every year. And the most horrible part of this infection is that you must wash your face to get rid of this infection, no medicine, no pills, no injections. Seeing this shocking pictures, Ludwick thought to himself “Okay, even If I’m not just doing it for myself and the fact that I don’t want to bathe, I at least need to do it to try to save the world.” As Ludwick’s phone is old and he doesn’t have internet connection, he used an internet in a 20-rand-an-hour cafe. He researched on Wikipedia, on Google, about lotions and did many other things and at the last he wrote his plan on a piece of paper. He had the idea and was going to make them come true. After 4 years later a 40-page business plan on the cell phone, he just said “No more bathing”. This idea didn’t work, of course. And so he went to the university, met there few people and then in future they made a functioning product called “DryBath”, which is available on the market. They learned about several things to make DryBath available. They packaged DryBath product in innovative sachets. You just snap them in half and you squeeze it out. One sachet substitutes one bath for 5 rand. When they created this “DryBath” they realized that they can save 80 million liters of water on average each time they skipped a bath. Ludwick says that DryBath helped people a lot. He says that “ DryBath is a rich man’s convenience and a poor man’s lifesaver”.
DeleteMy TED is called “How a boy became an artist”. The presenter is Jarrett Krosoczka. This guy had a sad childhood. He loved drawing very much, he had a big imagination. For him the greatest painter was his mother, but unfortunately his mother was addicted to a heroin. He is saying that when your parent is a drug addict, you always want to open your heart to her/him, but you always end up on your back. So, throughout his childhood his mother was incarcerated. And he didn’t know his father. But his grandparents Joseph and Shirley adopted him before his third birthday. The life with them was very easy. His grandparents loved him very much, but they had works to do. Jarrett as many other children loved cartoon and comics heroes. He drew them. That characters became his friends. When Jarrett was in third grade, an author of comic books visited to their school, Jack Gantos. He came to talk with kids and then kids started to draw some pictures. When Jarrett was drawing his picture, Gantos suddenly came closer to him and said “Nice cat!”. Those two words made a colossal difference in his life. Soon Jarrett started to write books with little stories when he was a child. It’s very interesting that a child can write a book, but actually there’s nothing difficult in it, you just have to use your imagination. Agree with me that Jarrett has an enormous imagination. He liked drawing and writing stories so much, that when he was coming from school, he was getting a piece of paper and drawing or writing. He drew an egg, a tomato, a head of lettuce and a pumpkin which were cartoon characters. They all lived in refrigerator city. There were also evil characters for example, an evil blender who tried to chop them up and evil toaster who tried to kidnap the bread couple. He was making his own comics. He had good talent.
ReplyDeleteOne night Jarrett’s grandpa came to his room and suggested him to go to art school. From sixth through 12th grade he learned there. There he was surrounded by other who loved to draw, other kids who shared a similar passion. His publishing career began when he designed the cover for his eighth grade yearbook. Jarrett was taking solace in Mr. Shilale’s art room. He liked that classes very much. By drawing funny pictures of teachers he was making friends. Soon He became the cartoonist of the school. He loved the thing that other people, who are unknown to him could read his comics.
On his 14th birthday his grandparents game him a drafting table, which he loved very much and even now he’s using it. On the corner of drafting table was written “You will be successful in your work”. That was his fortune. It’s still there. He never wanted anything from his grandparents, but he only wanted a video camera, which he got after begging, in Christmas. With his camera he videotaped a cartoon with a very short time. Mark Lynch, he was one of teachers of Jarrett. Now He’s Jarrett’s good friend. When Jarrett was 14 or 15, he came into Lynch’s room, he was very excited, he was beaming, he was holdig the book how to draw comics in the Marvel way. By that book Jarrett learned how to draw a superhero, a woman and many things. But when Lynch saw that book, he said to Jarrett “Forget everything you learned. ” He said “You have a great style.” Celebrate your own style. Don’t draw the way you’re being told to draw. Then kids started to read his comics and they loved them very much. People started to wear the costumes of that characters on Halloween and Jarrett was very pleased.
When Jarrett was 17 he met his father he saw his brother and sister, he never knew them.
Jarrett says that if you have an imagination you can create what you want.
Hello everyone!!! I have watched the ted talk called “My journey to yo-yo mastery”. The presenter’s name is Black, who is the Japanese yo-yo world’s champion. When he was 14 years old, he bought yo-yo and he does his first trick, which he is doing not well. However, after one week practicing he can play with yo-yo better and easier. He feels that he found his passion. Four years later, when he was 18 years old, in 2001 he became world’s yo-yo champion. He thought that he would have a lot of money, a lot of interviews and that he would be on TV shows, but coming back to Japan totally nothing was changed. He went to school than got a job. However, after week he understood that he couldn’t live without yo-yo mastery. Returning to competition after six years, he became world’s yo-yo champion in 2007. After that, he wants to create a new form of performing and art. He started to take up with acrobatic training and dancing. He do all this for passing the audition for Crique do Soleil, while being fast and precise enough to pull a tablecloth out from under a stack of champagne glasses!!!
ReplyDeleteI have learned some new words. For example, “passion”- is something that you like to do, that without this you can’t live (for example, Black’s passion is yo-yo and he can’t live without yo-yo). “Precise”- means very right, exactly, smartly.
“Stack”- means pile, bale, package.
It is very interesting video (I don’t now why, but it is interesting video). Of course, I have learned some words from this video. Thank you for your reading!!!
Hello everyone!!! I have watched the ted talk called “A skateboard, with a boost”. This is interesting video. The presenter of this video is Sanjay Pastor, who is the co-founder of Boosted Boards, a startup that aims to build the world’s lightest electric vehicles. He met pals John Ulmen and Matthew Tran while studying engineering at Starford University, where the three often found them talking about the need for a better way to get around campus. Therefore, they created one an electric long board which they called Boosted Boards.
ReplyDeleteThis is an electric vehicle, that weights less an a bicycle, that you can carried with you anywhere. It’s charged in 15 minutes and you can go with it 1000 kilometers. When we said vehicle, people can understand bicycle, motorbike or car, but this isn’t bicycle, motorbike or car this is a skateboard with a boost. This vehicle can get you to work or anywhere that you want in a six-mile radius, quickly than a car. Skateboard’s motor can get you from San Francisco to Los Angeles (30 kilometers for an hour). Best thing about this vehicle is that you can buy skateboard’s battery or motor in a toy store. It’s maneuverable. It’s have handheld remote so you can easy control breaking, going faster or slower. This uses 20 times less energy for every mile or kilometer that you travel than a car, which means that this skateboard is not only the thing that fastly charged or really chipped build, but it also reduce in the footprint of your energy use instead of your transportation.
I have learned two new words from this video. For example, “maneuverable”- means nimble, agile, and quick. “Reduce”-means weaken, enfeeble, abate, downwards.
I like this video very much, because this is something new for me and I think for you too, because I never hear about Boosted Boards. At this time, I have learned only two new words. Watch this video QUICKLY. Thank you for your kind attention!!!
Hello everyone!!! I have listened to a video called "Frenk Warren-half a million secrets".Everything started 9 years ago. He had an unususal idea to make cards , give them to peopel and ask to wsrite him their secrest without their name. At first averything was unusual but then his idea started to spread . he received thousands letters with secrets. Then he decided to open a page for the secrets called postsecrets.com.This webpage is very famous . He helped many people to start their life from a new page ,get married. For example a boy wanted to do a marriage proposal to her gilfriend and he posted his secret in thet website , when the girl saw it she was amased . He helped them to have a happy end for their story . Secrets can be exciting , silly, interesting. One boy posted about his webpage where he was helping people to find there lost photos. One of the post was like this "when people I love leave voice emails on my phone I always save them incase if they die tomorrow and I have no other way of hearing their voice ever again" .One girl sent voice email of her dead grandmother who has congratulated her with birthday. People say that it helps them to keep alive the spirit of dead relative or friend whom they love. I think that it is a very tedtalk and I strongly recommend my friends to watch this video . It was a perfect video.Watch!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have learned some new words , for example;
pathetic-emotional
unite-combine
marriage proposal-to offer to get married
decaf-coffe without cofein
inscribe-stamp
Hi everyone!!!!My topic today is very interesting and i think that this TED talk is important for those people who like to surf in internet.My TED talk today is named "Who are the hackers,Fighting viruses, defending the net" by Mikko Hypponen.This clever man was talking about computers and internet hackers and he was showing some expirements in those computers.He was talking about viruses that are damaging our computers.He was putting old floppy in to the computer and was showing some types of viruses like a virus with sound of hospital machine.If you will see that hospital machine in your computer you can say that it's a virus.There are some hackers that can go to somebody's credit card and burglar all money in that credit card.For example:Two people from USA hacked one's credit card and catched one million dollars.Now they are in run and no one no where are they.There are many types of hackers like key loggers and virus writers.Key loggers are dangerous hackers because they can read all information about you for example:they can know your email address,country,city,phone number,password of facebook or twitter,and some other things.Virus writers are those hackers that can write a very dangerous virus for computers.This hackers are popular in Russia,USA,China.When you want to watch a movie and you see that something in down of your desktop.This is a virus game never go to that site.This TED talk was very interesting talk for me because i knew some new information about hackers and i advise my friends to watch this TED talk because it was very interesting.Go to this site and you can watch it therehttp://www.ted.com/playlists/10/who_are_the_hackers.html.Thank you for your reading!!!!
ReplyDeleteBefore starting my comment relating to Ted Talks I want to say, that when I was looking after an interesting talk I understood that this is not an podcast that we must search very long to find some good topic, but in ted.com by searching a talk I saw that all the topics are very interesting and more educational than the podcasts. So it is only my opinion and could not to correspond with others.
ReplyDeleteI have watched a fascinating ted talk about a very actual and practical problem. So it was an episode called “If cars could talk, accidents might be avoidable”. The speaker was Jennifer Healey. She is a research scientist at Intel, who develops the mobile internet devices of the future. This ted talk is about car accidents which happen because of drivers’ carelessness, some problems with GPS navigation system. And if cars could talk the accidents would became rarity. When we drive, we get into a glass bubble, lock the doors and press the accelerator, relying on our eyes to guide us -- even though we can only see the few cars ahead of and behind us. But what if cars could share data with each other about their position and velocity, and use predictive models to calculate the safest routes for everyone on the road. So speaker Jennifer Healey imagines world without accidents and speak with us to solve this problem by finding some solutions. So she encourages everyone to think deeply about this problem and make every driver think about his/her safe traffic.
This Ted Talk was very interesting for me, by its presenting style, by some expressions and words which were unknown for me. This Ted Talk also makes viewing figures laugh and what is important for me, is that the speaker presents the topic by enthusiasm. I have learned many interesting and unknown words for me referring to the cars. For example dashboards, which are special panels to supervise the movement of the car. By one word I can say that I have never ever watched a fascinating and teaching video like that. So I advise to everyone to watch it and make some conclusion about the risk that you have by driving car. I don’t want to speak too much about this video. So find it and watch

ReplyDeleteHi Guys!!! I promised that i will continue my Ted talk.So you remember that She (Jennifer Healy) had a 8 cars.For example Ford and Jeep so i will continue that Ted.If you read my Ted you will know that she had a Toyota and etc.He said that Toyota is a good car her first toyota car was a corrolla and then he said that thids car are not very good for her and she want to Buy a new car Toyota PRADO Land Cruiser.But then you know that Prado in America is a Bad word and their police don't accepted that car.So he decided to buy a toyota RAV4 and then he said that it is a gooood car and he love it 2 years ago she bought Mercedez-Benz ML 500 4 Matic car and he said that at that year Mercedez started build in USA company.And he buy that car in USA and he love it because now Mercedez-Benz produced cars in America too and In Germany.And her car that he had a now it is a HONDA and Hyundai,Honda is produced in Japan and it is a good car for me because my Fathers brother had a Honda CR-V and it is good Highlander.Hyundai is very good car with his Elantra car and Jennifer said that it is a good like Toyota Rav 4.
ReplyDeleteThank You!!!!
When I saw ted.com, I thought the linked pictures were in a mess, but then I figured it all out and found a nice topic. The title is 'John McWhorter: Txting is killing language. JK!!!'. Yeah, the title is really that. Unfortunately, I've found TOO MANY words from that talk.
ReplyDeleteJohn starts this talk with saying that texting is a scourge and is a disadvantage for literacy or writing ability, texting isn't writing at all, and says that it isn't true. "In order to see it in another way", he says, "to see that texting is a miraculous thing, we have to look at what language is". Language existed for around 150'000 years, started as SPEECH. That was how we started to communicate, by using speech. Writing was something that arrived later. If humanity only existed for 24 hours, then writing would appear only at 23:07 o'clock. Writing has some advantages, because it's a concsious process unlike talking.
He says that language is speech, and isn't writing. Speech is different from writing. Usually, people speak like writing. For example, when someone clears their throat and goes "Ahem, ladies and gentlemen--", that speech is formal, that's talking like writing, uses long sentences. He gives more examples, and says that if you SPEAK LIKE WRITING, then logically you might want to WRITE LIKE SPEAKING, and there's where texting comes in.
Texting is very loose in it's structure, for example the capital letters. You don't think about the capital letters when talking, so why should we think about them while texting? Now, let's look at LOL, which usually stands for "laughing out loud". People used LOL to show they're laughing out loud. But nowadays' texting's LOL is different, doesn't mean "Laughing Out Loud" anymore. There's a sentence from the example text: "Susie: lol, i have to write a 10 page paper". In this sentence, LOL isn't used for laughing out loud, nothing is funny there. Let's say LOL has become a way for people to communicate.
I've collected more than 6 words from this talk, so if some of them are already known, I can use the others. This ted-talk was very interesting, and you can learn many words from this talk as well as learn things about texting.
Hello everyone!Today I am going to write about a video which I have watched by Ted Talks.This was a video about games,which can change our world and make it more funny and less problems for people.This video was especially for adluts.So the video I have watched is called "Gaming can make a better world".The presenter was Jane McGonigal,who is a gamer and online game designer.
ReplyDeleteJane McGonigal have been making online games for 10 years.She told that she made games where children,teenagers and adults would try to save the world killing the creatures or other bad things.And the games which were made by her,tried to be like the real life and made people to realise that they had to do everything to save the world.She told that everyone spends a lot of time (3 billion hours...I couldn't believe it),but we need to spend more time,because when we are playing online games we forget about our problems and enjoy the time while we are playing computer games.She told that we need to play computer games 21 billion hours a week,but I think nobody can do it.She added that she was going to make games where people could solve their problems or enjoy their life,thinking that it was in their real life.Jane McGonigol showed a very funny and interesting photo.There was a person who was playing online games.His face was very funny,like he was scared and also surprised (I wanted you to see it,but I can't show it...You can go and watch the video).The main thing was not that he had such a funny face,but that he was consentrated in his game,like it was in his real life.She told that it could only understand the gamers.She also added that when people play online games they collaborate with each other.In the games made by Jane each country's people collaborate with each other and want to win.Their aim is to win,to become the best.The next photo that she showed was that a person wrote "I am not good at life".When people play online games and win they understand that they must try and they will do everything.She told that there are also sience games,where people discover many old,but interesting things.
This was a very good Ted Talk and I liked it.I personally don't love online games,but I understood that sometimes people need that games.I think that this video is good for everyone,so I hope that you will watch this video.

Hello!!! I saw an interesting ted talk named “Skateboard, with a boost”. It was a very attractive and now I will tell a little about it.
ReplyDeleteAt first he described the machine. He said that the machine is an electric vehicle which weighs less than a bicycle and you can carry with you anywhere and you can charge off a normal wall outlet in 15 minutes. With that vehicle you can run for 1,000 kilometers. And then the presenter showed a motor that has enough power to do that. Compared with the vehicle the motor was smaller and you could fit it in your pocket. Than he shows battery that has about six miles of range or 10 kilometers. And those two pieces you can buy from toy shop, from remote control airplanes.
Then he shows that those two pieces were used in one vehicle on the skateboard. It means that that vehicle is skateboard with motor. You can stay on that skateboard and drive it with remote control.
I give advice to watch this video because it was an excellent video, and I think you will like it.
Hello guys !!!
ReplyDeleteNow I am going to speak about a toy or maybe robot which you will like a lot. Your smartphone may feel like a friend -- but a true friend would give you a smile once in a while. Keller Rinaudo demos Romo, the smartphone-powered mini robot who can motor along with you on a walk, slide you a cup of coffee across the table, and react to you with programmable expressions. Keller Rinaudo is the co-founder and CEO of Romotive -- makers of the small, covetable robot, Romo.
This is taking a step further both in robotics and even communication. When children are sick or are unable to go to school, they could send their robots to school so that they get all of the information that the teacher has taught.
However, if you have your robot out in the city there will be lots of problems.
First of all, it might get stepped on and crushed. Second of all, someone might just take your IPhone and walk away with it and you will have no idea who did that.
So in my opinion these type of robots are so cool and maybe funny, you can make them your friend. But I also see that it may have some problems and you can easily lost you robot. But however it is a good idea to have something like this. I advise my friends to try to have this toy it is so cool !!!
Hello guys !!
ReplyDeleteNow I want you to know that there is small easy and fast way to transport all
over the city or country. Here we GOOO!!!
Imagine an electric vehicle that can get you to work -- or anywhere in a six-mile radius -- quickly, without traffic frustrations or gasoline. Now imagine you can pick it up and carry it with you. Yes, this souped-up skateboard could change the face of morning commutes.
Sanjay Dastoor is the co-founder of Boosted Boards, a startup that aims to build the world's lightest electric vehicles.
To each their own, I guess? As a longboarder I love that I can stick it under my chair while sitting in a lecture hall without a second thought. I've seen a few folding bikes but they've always seemed bulky anyway. The ability to jump off and run up stairs without missing a beat is a big selling point for me as well.
This overall is an amazing product. It is affordable, energy efficient, and a good way to go from place to place. Maybe even young teens could drive this to school. This would also decrease car accidents. However, this may not be able to operate in the snow and might slip in the rain. That is my only concern. Overall, the product is good.
The presenter said it is an electric vehicle which can go 1000 kilometers. And presenter showed the engine which was so cool small but very powerful. I think it is very useful thing in our life to transport everywhere without being in traffics or something like that. Compared with other vehicles it’s motor is so small and you can easily fit it in your pocket. Presenter also showed the remote and I understood that you can also be R.C.= remote controlled. I hope you will like it !!
Hello everyone!Today I want to tell you about a video which was not like the other videos,I mean it was somewhere even unusual.This "unusual" video was named "A young guitarist meets his hero".The presenters were Usman Raiz and Preston Reed.Ok,now I am going to tell you about the video.
ReplyDeleteThe video was surprising me and I am sure it will surprise you,too.Even the first second of the video was unusual.A young person came and started playing the guitar.Now you will ask:
-What is unusual in it?
And I will answer:
-He was playing his guitar in an unusaul way and I am sure he was enjoying his time,while he was playing the guitar.When he finished playing the guitar everyone standed up and started to applause.His play was very cool.Than he went somewhere and came another man.He was older than that young person.
Oh sorry,I forgot to tell you the names of that talented people:young person-Usman Rais,old person-Preston Reed.
Preston Reed started to play the guitar.He was playing very good to and even his play was better.Than Usman came and they started playing together.They were amazing.Than the announcer came and gave them some questions,but I will tell you only the answers,which were telling about them and especially about Usman.He told that he was watching TV and when he saw Preston Reed and how he was playing the guitar,he understood that the guitar was his passion and he had to play like Preston Reed.He added that he practiced a lot and he enjoyed his time.
This video was very interesting,because the play of this two persons were amazing.Only one thing was a problem for me:the sound was not lot loud enough.I want to advice you to watch that video,because it was amazing.
There was only one unknown word,which was broudcaster (announcer or speaker).Thanks for reading!
Hello everyone! I have watched a ted talk called “Deep Sea diving in a wheelchair”. This is amazing video. The presenter of this video is Sue Austin. She is a creator of one amazing idea. When she is 16 years old, she started to use a wheelchair, because of her illness. The illness changes the way she could access the world. Because of this illness she started thinking about something weird, unusual, something that could change the world. Moreover, one day she thinks why people who use wheelchair always must use wheelchair only in the ground. They can use it under the water too. She started to work in this idea and seven years later the results of her work has taken her to an amazing journey during this seven years. She called this experience “Creating the spectacle”. Now the people who are using wheelchair can bye this type of wheelchair and this wheelchair can take them to amazing journey.
ReplyDeleteFrom this ted talk, I have learned some words. For example, “transcend”- means excel, exceed, surpass. “Tremendous”- means terrible, horrible, huge, and awesome. “Alienate”- expropriate, avert. “Vivid”- means live, alive, and bright. “Ecstatic”- means frenzy, rage and enthusiastic.
I would advise my friends to watch this ted talk, because these teds talk really interesting. I think you never heard about underwater wheelchair, but if you watch this ted talk, you will see that underwater wheelchair is real. Thank you for your reading!!!
Hello everyone!!! I saw an interesting ted talk. I think it will interest you too. That ted talk name is "A robot that flies like a robot. I think that you had already predicted that it is about robot bird that it can fly.
ReplyDeletePresenter started to talk about this ted talk saying that it is a dream of mankind to fly like a bird. I think that you are agreeing with this man because people wanted to see their house or anything else from the sky. But there are no people that can fly because as we all know people have no wings. Although that people can't fly it doesn't mean that people can't create a robot that can fly. That robot wouldn't hurt anyone during flying and if that robot failed out to you it would not hurt you because it is very lightweight. Than they showed that robot bird. Audience surprised because it could fly itself. When robot bird ends flying the audience woke up and applauded.
Than presenter what showed what ii inside of that robot bird. There was a little motor and a little battery and then presenter said that its wings with each other are two meter. Then he said that that bird is 450 gram.
I am giving advice to watch this video because I think that you never saw robot like this. Thank you for reading this ted talk.

Today I have watched a video about robots which was very interesting.The video is called "A mini robot-powered by your phone.The host was Keller Rinaudo and he was talking about (I think you have already understood) a robot which he named Romo powered by iPhone.He was showing how Romo is working but before showing he asked the audience how many people had robots at home.The half of the audience show hand and Keller said that that's why he and others are trying to make more robots.But at first that robot must be for whether you are eight or eighteen.And the robot can be creepy or uncanny but he must be friendly,funny and cute.and after that people will love that robot and they will want to buy robot for them anf for thair children and have around their children.
ReplyDeleteThe robot(Romo)is working with help og the iPhone.iPhone is like the brain of the robot and by leveraging the power of the iPhone's processor we can creat a robot.Romo has camera on him.
When he wakes up he is in creature mode and he can follow Keller.When Keller turned to the left he turned to the left too.
When Keller got too close to Romo he got scared like any other creature.We can also make him sad,happy or exciting too.With the help of the iPad we can drive Romo and take pictures too.Romo is smart.
And this is the problem which people want to solve and one of them is Keller Rinaudo,he is making robots with that way he is trying to solve this problem.
This video was very interesting,I can also say that it is the most interesting video among the videos which I have watched.So I will advise my friends to watch this video.I have already shown this video to Lilit and Astghik and they were like"Oh My God".So if you are interested go and watch this intersting video.
My ted is about “Learn to read Chinese … with ease ”. The presenter is a Chinese girl named ShaoLan. She grew up in Taiwan, being as a daughter of calligrapher, one of her good memories were that her mother was showing her Chinese characters, she was fascinated by those incredible characters. But she thought that to an outsider it would be difficult to understand what that Chinese characters are and to learn read that Chinese names. So ShaoLan found a way to do that with ease.
ReplyDeleteSince age of five ShaoLan started learning to draw every single stroke for each character in the correct sequence. During the course of the next fifteen years she learned new characters every day.
A Chinese scholar would understand 20,000 characters. But we only need 1,000 to understand the basic literacy. The top 200 will allow us to comprehend 40% of basic literature, it’s enough to read road signs, restaurant menus and many other things. On that TED she started with 8, to show us how the method works. We must open our mouths as wide as possible until it squares. Then we get a mouth. ShaoLan showed some pictures too, which were very interesting and in some case even strange.
Dear readers, I couldn’t explain you what those pictures look, sorry me for that but if you want to know find that TED, which is “ShaoLan: Learn to read Chinese … with ease! ”. Thank you for reading.
Today's video is called "A skateboard,with boost".It is about skateboards wich are with boosts.The host was Sanjay Dastoor and he is the co-founder of Boosted Boards,a startup that aims to build the world's lightest electric vehicles.
ReplyDeleteImagine an electric vehicle that can get you to work or anywhere in a six-mile radius--quickly,without traffic frustrations or gasoline.You can pick it up and carry it with you.This souped-up skateboard could change the face of morning commutes.
Sanjay showed the video how this skateboards are working.And it was really great thing and you don't waste money on petrol.The motor of this skateboards are from toy stores.This uses twenty times less energy an every mile that you travel, than a car.And Sanjay advises us to have this skateboard because it is very easy and very comfortable to use.
This video is very interesting and I would advise all my friends to watch this video.
Hello!! I have watched a video called "How a fly flies?".An insect's ability to fly is perhaps one of the greatest feats of evolution. Michael Dickinson has been exploring flies very long. Flies can do actions during several secondz. For example they can escape from a predator very quich during secinds, they are very clever.A plane needs a pilot, an engine and wings for a flight. Flies need first of all power. There are sensors on their wings and that sensors feel the deformation of their wings and helps to fly. They have two types of muscles . Power muscles and steering muscles which help them to fly too. The muscles are controled by nervous system .
ReplyDeleteLets compare human brain and fly's brain. They are very differnt . Fly's brain consists of thousand s of neirons but flies are very quick . Human brain is very developped but fly's brain is also developped. Fly's and mouse's brains are alike. They escape from other animals . search food but fly's are cleverer . For example in labaratories during exploirations they have given games to a mouse and a fly . And it is facsinating but the fly vould play it. Flies are amasing insects and if we explore more we will find more interesting facts.
The ted talk was very interesting and if you are interested in bilogy watch it . It is very interesting. Watch it. I learnt many new words and I will tell you the words today!!! :D
I have watched a video called "Filter Bubbles". When he was growing up internet for hima was a connection to the world, way of communication and he thaught it would be good for democracy and society.
ReplyDeleteEvery day he visits page of conseravives on Facebook and sone days ago he noticed that conservatives has disappeared from his facebook page. Facebook was looking what pages he was visting. He noticed that he was clicking more on liberal friends' links. And facebook edited them out. It is s big problem . There are 57 signals the Google looks up. Where are you sitting , what computer do you use , what browser do you use.
When you search something in google and another person searchs the same thing at that time you get different results.
It is a big problem. We need internet we need information but we don't need to be controlled.
The internet controls us. The internert puts us into bubble filters. They edit our pages, block things which they don't like but it's our page.
Foe exaple newspapers .They give us information but they don't control us . So we have to try to control the internet.
It is a very interesting video and I recommend my friends to listen to it. All of us use facebook and it is abig problem .
In this my ted talk which was calld "Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight" was speaking about brain....
ReplyDeleteA woman grew up to study the brain because she had a brother who had been diagnosed with a brain disorder: schizophrenia.
so, because of it she dedicated her career to research into the severe mental illnesses.
So she talk about the brain that the two hemispheres are completely separate from one another. The two hemispheres do communicate with one another through the corpus collosum, which is made up of some 300 million axonal fibers. But other than that, the two hemispheres are completely separate. Because they process information differently, each of our hemispheres think about different things, they care about different things, and they have very different personalities.
Our right hemisphere, it thinks in pictures and it learns kinesthetically through the movement of our bodies. Information, in the form of energy, streams in simultaneously through all of our sensory systems and then it explodes into this enormous collage of what this present moment looks like, what this present moment smells like and tastes like, what it feels like and what it sounds like.
Our left hemisphere thinks linearly and methodically. Our left hemisphere is all about the past and it's all about the future. Our left hemisphere is designed to take that enormous collage of the present moment and start picking out details.
our left hemisphere thinks in language. It's that ongoing brain chatter that connects us and our internal world to our external world.It's that calculating intelligence that remind us when we have to do smth..
I liked this Ted Talk it was exciting.

I have seen a ted talk, and liked it so much. This one was cald "Matt Cutts Try something new for 30 days" where
ReplyDeletea man was inspiring people not to think about something they have always wanted but to try and to give it a shot for the next 30 days. He inspired to do what they want, to do everything that makes dreams happen.
He told about challenges and changes of his life. He felt like he was stuck in a rut, so he decided to follow in the footsteps of the great American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock, and try something new... It turns out, 30 days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or subtract a habit. The man said that the idea is actually pretty simple. People must to think about something they have always wanted to add to their life and try it for the next 30 days. The first thing that he did- was instead of the months flying by, forgotten, the time was much more memorable. So he started to take a picture everyday for a month. In this way he remembers exactly where he was and what he was doing that day. He also noticed that as he started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, his self-confidence grew. He went from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work for fun. The man said that he figured out that if sb. really want something badly enough, he/she can do anything for 30 days... In that 30 days he wrote a novel, and he said if someone asked him - "who you are" he wouldn't have to say "I am a computer scientist." we will say "I am a novelist"....
My TED is about “Hey science teachers – make it fun”. The presenter is a young science teacher Tyler Dewitt. He was telling that it was his first year as a new high school science teacher and he is so eager. He was so excited, he was pouring himself into his lesson plan. But soon he comes to realization that his students are not learning anything. He’s telling a story.
ReplyDeleteThis happens one day. He assigned his class to read this textbook chapter about his favorite subject in all of biology: viruses and how they attack. He so excited to discuss this theme with his students and he asks if somebody could explain the main idea of this theme and why this is cool? There was a silence, and suddenly one of Tyler’s student says “The reading sucked.”. And then she says that it doesn’t suck. She just doesn’t understand word of it, it’s boring, she doesn’t care about it. And Tyler realized that all of his other students are in the same boat, maybe they’ve listened to him or they have taken notes about it, but none of them really understood the main ideas. He was totally clueless, because no one could tell him why is this virus stuff so cool. He didn’t know what to do, and suddenly he thought that he could make science more easy to learn. The only thing he could do was to make a story.
The main characters of his story were bacteria and viruses. He drew that characters in paper and even made a toy of those characters. He says that bacteria can makes us sick, but less people knew that virus can make bacteria sick. His story starts out like a horror story. Once upon a time there was happy little bacterium. He’s very happy and feels very good. And suddenly he starts to not feel so good. He thinks that maybe he ate a bad food. And then he sees that his skin rips apart, and he sees a virus coming out from his insides. And then it gets horrible when bursts open an army of viruses floods out from his insides.
Tyler says if you pretend that you’re a bacteria, it’ll be your worst nightmare , but if you pretend that you’re a virus you’ll think “We rock.”. So Tyler drew some pictures of how virus make bacteria sick and then he showed it to his students and to other people so that they could understand it more easily. Tyler says if you tell scientific facts like this students will listen you. But there were some problems about that, the other teachers denying the way of Tyler’s. They were saying that his statements were not serious, there was a lot of fun in it. Tyler disagreed with it proved that students learn in that more easily. They just have to understand the main idea and nothing else.
Tyler says start what you want to say by this “Listen, let me tell you a story.”
Hello everybody!!
ReplyDeleteI listened a video called << The cheap all-terrain wheelchair >>. And it was so cool and also useful. It works with power or battery. Whit it you can travel long distances you can go to work go to shop or even cross the street very easily. It goes enough fast and makes you feel very comfortable like in the car. So you can also charge the battery. There are some types of wheelchairs that can fold and can be easily place in the car. So that is how you can take you chair with you everywhere. 40 million people are disabled but not everyone has wheelchair to travel. Or they usually have old peace of steel or an old broken wheelchair. The designer started to walk travel different places and look different wheelchairs. He looked and discovered a lot and finally could make something good useful and very cheap. He also talked with doctors or other people. He understood that the person is the complex machine. At first he looked mountain bikes for long distances travelling and he found out that bikes has gear and with it you can change the gear I mean go fast or climb mountains or go into mud or sand for all that there are some different gears. And those bikes are not expensive they are cheap enough to buy. But there are some other types that are hard to ride and also they cost for about $ 4500 and it is very expensive in my opinion. And he understood why to buy a bike cost $ 4500 if you can buy bike cost $ 200 ?????
And you can go more than 5 km on varied terrain. With them you can get to school then shop or home and different other places. It is usable indoors locally repairable. It is also mechanical very simple. It has bike part construction. This product works very well and is very famous im amny countries. So it was really a new product.
How do you build a wheelchair ready to blaze through mud and sand, all for under $200? MIT engineer Amos Winter guides us through the mechanics of an all-terrain wheelchair that’s cheap and easy to build -- for true accessibility -- and gives us some lessons he learned along the road.
Amos Winter and his team at MIT built the Leveraged Freedom Chair, a cheap lever-powered wheelchair whose design and develop put the user first.
So I advise my friends to look this episode cuz it is very interesting. !!!!
Bye!!
Hey guys!Today I have watched a really interesting video which was about teachers which really need feedback.Te host was Bill Gates and he was talking smartly and I think he is very clever he was talking very clever and I think it was a great talk.
ReplyDeleteThe video was called "Teachers need real feedback."The video was really interesting and I really enjoyed Bill Gates's talk.
Bill Gates is a passionate techie and shrewd businessman,Bill Gates chenged the world pnce,while leading Microsoft to dizzying succes.Now he's set to do it again with his own style of philanthropy and passion for innovation.
Until recently,many teachers only got one word of feedback a year:"satisfactory."And with no feedback,no coaching,there is just no way to improve.Bill Gates suggests that even great teachers can get better with smart feedback--and lays out a program from his foundation to bring it to every classroom.Teachers need real feedback cause when I say even the best teacher in the world can get better after this or that feedack.
I think it is really important for teachers the feedback because after that can be changed something in teacher.
I liked this video and I would advise all my friends to watch this video.Thank you for reading��
Hi everybody i have listened TED talk named"Maestros, if you please ... !"by Michael Tilson Thomas.He told that he liked songs,music.His father thought him to play on piano because he was a good songster.He liked to play music because his mother was a songster too.He was talking about music that where it comes from.
ReplyDeleteHe told a story that he saw child that were playing baseball in the yard and when main player kicked the ball he started to sing a song like this na~ na ~ na ~ na ~ na ~ na ~ na ~ na ~ na :D .And when this presenter was telling about this he was dancing too.(You can watch this in video).He told about classical music too about music in ancient life of ancient people like a city like Taldis.He told that classical music is easy to learn.This classical music is like painting,drawing.Classical music is telling us control in UNIVERSE too.Music is nature too.This is emotion.Music can be angry too.He was telling story that when he was in concert of music when he was listening to this music and when this music had stopped he told that it was very mystic thing because when music is stopping you are living a whole life because it is full of emotions.He also presented some pictures of musical instruments that people were playing in old times.I liked and disliked this TED talk because it had it's bad and good sides.I don't advise you to listen to this TED talk but if you want you can. :):):)
Thank you for your reading!!!

ReplyDeleteHello everyone!Today I watched a video which was interesting for me,because this problem,which is discussed in the video,have some teachers all over the world and even in Armenia.I think my friends will like this video,because maybe they have some teacher who they can't understand(if you remember we have discussed this in the class yesterday and our answer was that student's education depends on student and teacher).The video I have watched was named "The Key to Success".The presenter was Angela Lee Duckworth.
ReplyDeleteAngela started telling about her life.So when she was 27 years old she left a very demanding job in management consulting for a job which was more demanding.That job was teaching.She went to teach seventh graders math in the New York City public schools.She worked like the other teachers.She made quizzes and tests,gave homework assignments and many other things,which every teacher had to do.She had every kind of pupils:pupils who liked studying,pupils who were lazy and didn't like studying,etc.Then she understood that every pupil could study well.And she wanted to teach pupils in a different way,so every pupil could study and understand her.Some days later she found a method of teaching children.When she taught children,she brought exaples from the real life,computer games and etc.She played with them and some years ago she understood that her method was the best and teaching is not only saying how you must do this,without explaining well.
This video was interesting,because it had a meaning and wasn't very long.I want to advice all my friends and relatives to watch this video.Thank you for your reading!!!

I have listend to a ted talk named "Art:Frida Kahlo" where a man was telling about Frida Kaholos' art and life. He told that in 1953 when Frida Kahlo had her first solo exhibition in Mexico, a local critic wrote "It is impossible to separate the life and work of this extraordinary person. Her paintings are her biography. Frida Kahlo is an artist whose life is vividly represented in her art. She used paint and canvas to create a colorful, yet painful image of her life. Today, the works of Frida Kahlo are internationally recognized.
ReplyDeleteHer paintings are famous for their vibrant colors, personal symbolism, and the influence of her unique Mexican culture.
When Frida was a young woman, she was involved in a bus accident. The accident would cause her to experience physical pain for the rest of her life. It was during her long recovery, when she was confined to her bed, that she began to paint.
Frida's first painting was a self portrait. During her lifetime she made over 140 paintings, including over 50 self portraits.
In 1929 she married the Mexican painter, Diego Rivera. It would be a turbulent relationship and the passion and pain of their marriage is reflected in many of her paintings. The famous portrait 'The Two Fridas'' is a classic example of how she expressed her emotions towards Diego on canvas.
Frida and Diego would divorce, but then remarry. Their relationship continued to be turbulent, but they remained married until her death in 1954.. In the last year of her life, Frida became very ill, and she had many operations. Her last painting was a still life called 'Viva la Vida', which means Live the Life.
My TED is called “In search of the man who broke my neck.” The presenter is Joshua Prager. One year ago, he rented a car in Jerusalem, to go find a man he had never met, but who had changed his life. He didn’t knew anything about that man, only his name “Abed”. Joshua knew that Abed lived in a town of 15,000, Kfar Kara and he knew that 21 years before just outside in this city Abed broke his neck. Abed’s truck broke his neck and injured many other sides of his body. Joshua was 19 years old. The night before the crash, he delighted in his new body, playing basketball, with friends, into wee hours of a May morning. He palmed the ball in his large right hand. And when that hand reached the rim, he felt invincible. He was off in the bus to get the pizza he’d won on the court. He didn’t see Abed coming. From Joshua’s seat, he was looking up at a stone town on a hilltop, bright in the noontime sun, when from behind there was a great bang as loud and violent as a bomb. His head snapped back over his red seat. His eardrum blew. His shoes flew off. He flew too. He had many broken bones. When he landed, he was a quadriplegic. Over the coming months, he learned to breath by his own and to sit, to stand, to walk, but his body now was divided vertically. He was a hemiplegic, and back home in New York, he used a wheelchair for four years, all through college. When college ended he returned to Jerusalem for a year. Finding his photograph of that crash, and looking in it, he didn’t see a bloody and unmoving body. He saw the healthy bulk of a left deltoid and he mourned that it was lost, mourned all he had not yet done, but was now impossible. Then he read the testimony that Abed gave. When he was reading that, he felt an anger. Then Joshua wanted to find Abed, he wanted to listen this two words from Abed “I’m sorry.” This two words would be much for him. Then he found a woman, who was the wife of Abed. That woman thought that Joshua had come to install the internet. The woman told that her husband would be home from work in four hours. He drove off and returned at 4:30. He was in front of Abed’s door. Then he knocked the door, Abed saw him and he saw Abed. Abed saw his jeans and flannel and cane. Then he saw that Abed was average-looking man, of average size. They shook hands and smiled to each other and he gave him his gift, and Abed told that Joshua was a guest in his house. Abed feasted him with a cup of coffee. They started to speak about that crash. Then Abed told him that he was injured more than he. He showed the picture of his crashed car. He told that he had killed two people in that crash. Joshua said that he killed only one person, then said goodbye.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone! I have watched a ted talk called “Country with no water”. This is incredible video, because I’m sure that you never heard about country with no water. Besides this, this country could live like every country in the world. In this country, people are living in cottages and villages. They want to find water, food and other things that necessary for them, because how we know without water there isn’t any life. Watching this video, I understood that people could live without water in Qatar (this is the name of the country with no water), because they hope that one day they will find water and food and other things that necessary for them. In this country besides a problem with water, they have one very big problem too. In one family people are speaking in different accents. Imagine that 6 different accents in one family. In your opinion, is it normal? I think, I’m sure that no!!!
ReplyDeleteBrazil has 1782 ml per year of precipitation of rain. Qatar has 74 and they have the growth rate. But how, they didn’t have any water. This is simply because of this gigantic, mammoth machine called desalination. All this is the situation in Qatar.
They import 90 percent of their food. In Qatar, people also face risks. Farmers can’t water plants and we know that for watering plants water is necessary. Is there any solution? Yes, there is. How other problems this problem have a solution too. They’re going to use renewable energy to produce water that people need. In addition, they will put 1800 megawatts of solar systems to produce 3.5 mln cubic meters of water. And it is a lot of water. That water is going to use for watering plants, for producing food, etc. in my opinion this is very good solution for this problem.
Have watching a video I learned some words from it. For example, “coastal- means littoral, riverside, waterside and lakeside. “Implement”- means to perform and to carry. “Nomad”- means stranger. “Expectancy”- means hope, waiting. “Roam”- means to travel.
I would advise my friends to listen to this ted talk, because they will know about a country with no water called Qatar. This is interesting ted talk for me and for you too. Thank you for your kind attention.
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI have watched really interesting,beutiful and colorful video.This video is very unusual and this was not like any other videos,cause it was not a talk this was a happy and colorful I don't know what maybe show.Whatever the host:the presenter was Colin Robertson.Colin Robertson is apparently "attempting to make the world's first crowdsourced solar energy solution".Colin Robertson had 3 minutes on the TED stage to tell the world about his solar-powered crowdsourced health care solution. And then...
He wanted to show how people use solar energy with the help of video and that video was called "Crowdsourcing Solar".BUT!It started bringing files which was saying an error occurred at first I thought it is real error but then the click of the computer started to make melodies and the click was colorful then people came:the actors and they started to dance.They were dressed in colorful dresses and they brought with them colorful balls and they give that balls to people everyone was dancing and playing with the balls.
Colin was surprised and astonished with this all too.And he lost his time by watching this all.
I really loved this video cause it was not an ordinary one,it was unusual and creative one.
I would suggest my friends to watch this just for fun.I hope they will love it and I am sure that they will enjoy this video very much!!!
I've watched a Ted talk, which wasn't really a talk, more like a demonstration. The title is "A mini robot--powered by your phone." The presenter, Keller Rinaudo, first of all asked the audience if they had a robot at home. Some of them raised their hands, and Keller asked them if they have a Roomba at home. Just 2 people raised their hands. Then he took an iPhone and set it on a device which had a "neck" for the phone and wheels to drive. When he placed the phone on the device, the screen of the phone changed to a blue face which followed Keller's face's movement. He explained that the iPhone is the robot's, Romo's, brain. He moved closer to Romo, showing the audience that moving too close makes Romo scared like any other creature.
ReplyDeleteKeller then said that if he wanted to explore the world with Romo, he could use another iOS device, in this case an iPad, to drive Romo around and see what Romo sees. Afterwards, he turned Romo's neck so it looked at the audience and took a picture.
This ted-talk was interesting as it was more like a demonstration and not just a talk. This robot is proof that technology can create many wonderful things, and a portable robot isn't an exception.
My next Ted talk was about an artist, Liu Bolin, whose artwork was blending in with the environment, becoming invisible, and the title was, of course, "The Invisible Man." Liu Bolin was chinese, so he had a translator with him. He showed many pictures of his art, him being "invisible" in many different places. He became invisible by wearing the clothes and painted the face the same colour as the environment. For example, if he was standing behind a grey rock, he would wear grey clothes and painted the face and the hair grey. If he was in a supermarket, he would use the colours of the food behind him. Bolin said he used the idea of snipers, blending in so the enemies don't see him.
ReplyDeleteHe had some artworks showing Venice, because the sea levels are rising and it might disappear, showing 6 jobless people who lost their jobs when China changed from planned economy to market economy, and artworks showing more stuff like that. "When I work on a new piece, I pay more attention to the expression of ideas", he says. "For instance, why should I make me invisible here? What will making myself invisible here cause people to think?" He also says that he thinks that in art, an artist's attitude is the most important element. In the end, he blended in the TED scenery and left. Some people might have known this technique, and for some it might be new, but I think no one knew that Liu Bolin is one of the artists who use this.
Hello !!!
ReplyDeleteI am going to speak about an video called <>.
And I wanna say when I watched this video I was surprised and I was amazed. I liked this toy very much and I would like to have one.
I must say that this was a cool performance. I have never seen this kind of magic before, and maybe I won’t see another one in the future. However, it did confuse me when I first saw it, but I felt more amazed than deceived. I noticed some of Marco’s mistakes and even figured out some of his tricks after the second viewing. But I am still wondering how the app works. Perhaps I will never know since he is a magician. Maybe he used the camera on the stage to locate the three iPods, or maybe there was another person “behind the scenes”. Whatever technology he used, the technology part made this TED talk more like an app show, not a traditional magic show, which always make us keep wondering “How did he do that?” and “What did I miss?” Although confusing, it’s another kind of performance – techno magic – and I like it.
Using three iPods like magical props, Marco Tempest spins a clever, surprisingly heartfelt meditation on truth and lies, art and emotion.
A magician and illusionist for the 21st century, Marco Tempest blends cutting-edge technology with the flair and showmanship of Houdini.
I can say only one this was cool futurastic and it was like something unusual.
Hello !!!
ReplyDeleteI would like to speak about and episode called <>
Hadyn's idea is not bad, but we must look for a lasting solution that puts a complete end to the problem. Genetic enineering may eliminate the virus transmission, but genetically engineered animals may create some other problem before extinction even though their life cycle may shorten. Moreover, engineering the entire global population is a gigantic task (this is not crop engineering where you get control of the seeds), and may take decades before the effect is really visible.
We all use a fly catcher that attracts the flies and kills them there and then. Similarly, why cant we make a mosquito attractor (and not a repellant) that will attract and kill them right there ????
How expensive is it to have a production plant of sterile insects? Mr. Parry doesn't talk at all about the financial costs and I am curious. I understand how the process works, but would it be cheaper to instead get the natural predators to reduce the population? Mosquitoes live near water so fish and other aquatic insects seem like a good idea. I don't see the point of eradicating mosquitoes completely from countries where they normally inhabit. It also seems imply a very costly operation as they are designed to survive that habitat. Sterile males have to be in a critical minimum amount to have any significant effect in tropical countries. Mosquitoes can even lay eggs in bromeliads, so what is the point of eradicating them from forest-filled countries. Maybe we should instead get people to find different settlements (far from the dengue) and focus on avoiding transporting fertile mosquitoes by accident.
In a single year, there are 200-300 million cases of malaria and 50-100 million cases of dengue fever worldwide. So: Why haven’t we found a way to effectively kill mosquitos yet? Hadyn Parry presents a fascinating solution: genetically engineering male mosquitos to make them sterile, and releasing the insects into the wild, to cut down on disease-carrying species.
Biotech entrepreneur Hadyn Parry leads a science start-up that develops GM insects to fight dengue fever.
However I think this can be used by military, army or something different. I know a lot about army and about there technology. And as I knew in the future there are going to be some flying insect or mosquitos that can do some secret missions for army. They can collect a lot of information about enemy at the same time that they fly and send it to the soldiers. So with one word it can be very smart cool and also clever weapon. It can be deadly. All this is said by an U.S. army officer and designer.
Hello everyone!Today I am going to write about a video which interested me and I think that it will interest other people,too.The video was called "Prepare for a good end of life".The presenter was Judy MacDonald Johnston.At first I didn't want to write about end of life,because it is a bad thing,but then I understood that it will be a good video,because there is mantioned "Prepare to a GOOD end of life".
ReplyDeleteAt first Judy McDonald Johnson started her speech with a question:"What wold be a good end of life?".Then she explained that she was talking about the very end of our life,about increasing our chances of dying well.
Everyone wants to have a good life:earn much money,wear nice clothes,have a good family and etc.Judy told that she had 2 good friends (Jim and Shirley Modini),whom she tried to help to have a good end of life.The family of Modini spent their 68 years of marriage living in their range.Jim and Shirley met in 80s and fell in love.Their dream was to live in range and their dream became true.Then they met Judy and they made friends.Jim and Shirley were 2 people who loved each other and thought in the same way.They didn't want to have children.Judy told that she is very happy that she made friends with Jim and Shirley.She told that they found each other and lived very happy.They had the same ideas and dreams and they did everything to make their wishes real.And finally,she adviced all the people to make they dreams real.
It was a very interesting video and a very good story.So I will advice my friends and relatives to watch this video.Thank you for your reading!!!
Hi everybody.I had listened to TED talk named "What makes us feel good about our work" by Dan Ariely.He was talking about people that are joyful and sad about their works.He was telling many examples.He was telling that work of person is like a maze because when you will give him money he will work very faster and you can direct him or her to work in other way.One day his pupil came to his house he told him one story that happened to him.His pupil was working in big bank and his boss told him to create a big Power Point presentation about their work.He was working in that presentation days and nights he was collecting as much information as he could,he was designing it.He was doing that more than 9 days and when he send his presentation to his boss by email he received it back with this words "It was good presentation but it's not befit to our work".He told another example too.For example:When person is climbing one big mountain he is doing work and when writer is writing about this climbing and when you are reading it it's not full of joy it's boring.This TED talk interested me and i liked it.I advise my friends to listen to this podcast.
ReplyDeleteThank-you for your reading!!!
Hello!!! I have watched a ted called "Prepare for a good end".Judy Mcdonald was speaking.
ReplyDeleteThinking about death is frightening, but planning ahead is practical and leaves more room for peace of mind in our final days.Shw has helped a couple - Jim and Shirley . They were 80 years old.Jim died first . He kept smiling up to the end. Only at the last day he could not speak . Through his eyes they cuold see a fear. He was worried about the ranch and his wife. But he knew that ACR company would look after his ranch.
Judy suggests to prepare for a good end of life. First of all make a plan. For example what do you want in terms of medical intervention .Recruit advocates. People who have time and proximity to continue your work.
Be hospital ready.Choose caregivers. People who will help you during your last days.
Finally, discuss last words. From whom would you like to listen them , maybe from people whom you love and trust. What words would you like to listen. For sure you would like to listen that whatever you are worried about would be fine.
I like the ted. It was interesting and inspiring.
I learnt some new words.
recruit- involve, enroll
medical intervention- for example operetions, using medicine , somehing that is done by doctors for curing you
Hello!!! I have listened to a ted calles "Every child needs a champion".Rita Pirson was speaking.
ReplyDeleteShe is a teacher . Once one of her collegues told that she is paid only for teaching and not loving children. And she answered that children did not learn from people they did not like. She thinks that teachers have to make a relationship with students and they must turn teaching and learning into joy . Once she had a math ckas and when she went home she saw she has done some misteakes and when she came back to class she apologised fot being wrong and children were fascinated. So it is very important to know to apologise.
She had very low classes and it was very difficult to work with them and when she enterd the class she said:" YOu were chosen to be in my class , you are the best students and I am the best teacher and we hav eto prove it .When we are walking dawn the hall you can not make noise you have to be strut.And I am somebode and I will be a better somebody when I leave.I am powerful and I am strong . I have places to go and people to impress " . Everyone was ipressed and the class shouted "YEAH".
Once she gave a quiz of 20 questions .ON of the children hyad written only 2 of them . She wrote +2 under the test and draw a smile.And the child asked why she put the smile. She answered that he is in roll and he didn't miss them all.He got two right.And when they rewiev wouldn't he do it better?, he said he would do it better for sure,+2 gave him power than - 18 .
Finally she thaught that the most important thimng is relationship.
I adore this ted . It is the best Ted I have ever listened . I strongly reccommend all of you to watch this . I learnt one new word
strut- to walk seeming that you are proud of you .
Hello everyone!Today I have watched an interesting video,which was named "What makes us feel good about our work?".The presenter was Dan Ariely...I am sure that this video can change the opinions of many people,who work only for money and don't enjoy their time,while they are working.And now I am going to write what I understood from this video.
ReplyDeleteWhat people understand by saying "My work" or "My Job"?This is my question to you and everyone,because everyone thinks in a different way and I want to understand what the work or job is for us?For exaple,I think that most of workers think only about money,how much money they can earn,but I don't think so.
I understand the word "work" or "job" quite in a different way.People choose their favourite job and if a person must think only about his money,why the person must choose his or her FAVOURITE job,he or she can choose every kind of job and no metter he/she will like it or not.I am happy that Dan Ariely thinks like me.And in the end I want to present Dan's example.He told that when we watch TV and see a person climbing a very high and not flat mountain we don't think that we can do it,too and don't enjoy it.Let's imagine that the climber climbed this mountain and is tired (there's nothing good and enjoyable in his work,we imagine at first),but then we imagine how proud he is,when he thinks that he did it.So everyone must choose a job which he or she will enjoy!
It was an interesting video and I think that it can help people change their opinion about their work.I will advice my friends and relatived to watch this video,but it was too long,20 minutes:D...Thank you for reading!!!
This talk is about a young businessman Sarath Babu. A woman was tellig about Sarath Babus' career and life...
ReplyDeleteWhen Sarath Babu, at the age of 27,, graduated as a top student from the Indian Institute of Management in the city of Ahmedabad, he stunned the business world by turning down a number of job offers that would have made him a wealthy man. Instead, he took a risk by starting his own catering company. A young businessman taking a risk might not seem so surprising; Sarath Babu, however, had come from a life of poverty.He was born in Chennai, south east India. He had two older sisters and two younger brothers. His mother was only support. Every day she held down three jobs - selling breakfast on the streets in the morning, working as a dinner lady at a school in the afternoon, and teaching adults in the evenings. She made just one rupee a day for six people. Every morning, Sarath Babu helped his mother sell breakfast on the streets of Chennai, and every evening he did his homework in the dark.He took a book job for the summer. At one point, he even employed twenty other children.
On finishing school, Sarath was accepted onto an engineering course at a local college. Money, however, again proved to be the problem. One of his sisters, had to pawn her jewelry to lend Sarath the money. Later, He got a scholarship and was able to pay her back.He dreamed of starting his own business and providing a good standard of living for his employees.
He worked at a software company for thirty months to clear his debts. After that, he passed the college entrance exams and got a place at the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad. Two years later, although he was getting lots of good job offers from some famous companies. His business began with one small office. His first order was selling snacks and tea to a local software company. In his first month, they made thirty five thousand rupees. Now, his company has an annual turnover of sixty million rupees. However,in his words, money and fame are not the most important things in his life. He has family and friends... This was most important in his life.
Hey guys!Today I have watched a really interesting video about the secrtes of success.And about the secrtes of success was talking Richard St. John.The talk is called "8 secrets of success".
ReplyDeleteWhy do people succeed?Is it because they are smart or they are just lucky?Neither.Analyst Richard John condenses years of interviews into slideshow (presentation)on the real secrets of success.
Richard St. John is an analyst, a self-described average guy who found success doing what he loved.He spent more than a decade researching the lessons of success.
He started telling his story. Everything started one day when he was sitting on the plane coming to TED-conference, it was 7 years ago and sat beside him.A girl who was a high-grade pupil, a teenage girl, she is really needy family lived, she wanted nothing came of her life, and she gave him a simple question. What leads to success, she asked, and at that moment Richard really felt bad because he could not give a good answer,they landed and he came to TED-conference and he thought:He is in a room surrounded by successful people and he thought why not to ascertain what helped them succeed, and then share about it with the kids, and now, here he is, 7 years, 500 interviews were collected results in hand, and he told us what are the secrets of success.
1.The first thing that leads to success is passion.Thomas Freeman said"I am driven by my passion".And we must do it (smth.) with love not for money. And the most interesting thing is that if you're doing something you love, the money will automatically come to work.
2.The second thing that leads to success is work.Rupert Murdoche once said to Richard:"It's all hard work.: Nothing comes easily, but I'm getting a lot of pleasure and fun".
3.Good."To be successful put your nose down in something and get damn good at it":said Alex garden."There is no magic it's all about practice,practice,practice".
4.Focus.Norman Jewison said:"I think it all has to do with focusing yourself to one thing".
5.Push.David Gallo said:"Push yourself.Physically,mentally,you gotta push,push,push.Push shyness and self-doubt".Goldie Hawn said:"I always hadself-doubts.I wasn't good enough,wasn't smart enough.I didn't think I'd make it".It's not always easy to push yourself so that's why we have mothers.Frank Gehry said"My mother pushed me".
6.Serve.Sherwin Nuland said:"It was a privilege to serve as a doctor.Millionaires serve others something ov value.
7.Ideas.Bill Gates said:"I had an idea of founding the first micro-computer software company...".
Ideas:Listen
Observe
Be Curious
Ask Questions
Problem Solve
Make Connections
8.And finally the last thing which leads to success is "Persist".Joe Kraus said:"Persistance is the number one reason for our success.You gotta persist to failure.You gotta persist to crap.
Criticism
Rejection
Assholes
Pressure
Here are the 8 secrets to success.I am in love with this video.This is the best video I have ever seen.Cause this is very informative and it contains large range of vocabulary.And I would advise all my friends to watch this video.
My TED is called “I listen to color”, by Neil Harbisson. Neil was born with a rare visual condition called achromatopsia, which means he doesn’t see colors, total color blindness. He doesn’t know what color looks like, because he came from a grayscale world. Sky and flowers were gray for him, and TV was still in black and white.
ReplyDeleteBut since the age 21 he started to listen colors. In 2003, he started a project with computer scientist Adam Montandon and with other scientists they’ve created an electronic eye, which is on the head of Neil. If you look at him, you would think that he’s a some kind of cyborg. That electronic eye is a color sensor that detects the color frequency in front of him and sends that frequency to a chip installed at the back of his head, and he hears the color in front of him through the bone, through bone conduction. So explained everything, and then listened to some colors, purple, red, yellow. Each color had different sound. He have been hearing color all the time for eight years, since 2004, and then found it completely normal now. Then his life continued with his electronic eye. When was going to supermarkets, to buy food, there were many colors of course, and for him the supermarket was like a night club, because of all that colors he heard. Eating vegetables and listening to their colors, he felt good. He thought if teenagers could listen to those colors, they’d start to eat vegetables. So he was eating a song. That’s strange. His life became interesting.
Hello guys !!!
ReplyDeleteI listened an interesting video called WHAT IS THE INTERNET, REALLY?? And now I will talk about it and you will really know the answer of this question.
When a squirrel chewed through a cable and knocked him offline, journalist Andrew Blum started wondering what the Internet was really made of. So he set out to go see it -- the underwater cables, secret switches and other physical bits that make up the net.
For his new book, "Tubes," Andrew Blum visited the places where the internet exists in physical form: the cables and switches and servers that virtually connect us.
This is great, previous days (career) in managing Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN). A follow up to his speech is how those bits of lights are actually carried and transformed into electrical signals that forms a protocol called Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH). They are the top of the food chain in terms of Telco-carrier (communication/networking) protocols, it is then broken down (de-multlplexed) into smaller bandwidth signals called STM-1 (155mb), DS-3 (approx 50mb), and what a normal person would know as T1 (1.5mb) and E1 (2.08mb). I recently caught up with an ex-colleague of 10 yrs ago and he says that these signal hierarchies are being phased out and those big metropolitan switches are now mainly just using Ethernet protocol at Giga & 100mb slices, can anyone tell me if this is true?
Yes, technically if you knew where all those data centers are located, you take it out and it would wipe out certain carrier providers. That's why they are always in inconspicuous locations, like you would have never have guessed. Once inside, you can imagine it's as if you walked into the scene of Matrix where cabinets upon cabinets fly by in front of Neo, they go on like you're in a forest of racks.
Also there are some hackers that are very dangerous and can make lots of viruses.
The Internet connects us as never before, but there's a dark side to this web. Who are the hackers who wreak havoc online? And what is it they want? Sociologists, criminologists and hackers themselves shed light …
It's been 25 years since the first PC virus (Brain A) hit the net, and what was once an annoyance has become a sophisticated tool for crime and espionage. Computer security expert Mikko Hyppönen tells us how we can stop these new viruses from threatening the internet as we know it.
A computer virus is a computer program that can replicate itself[1] and spread from one computer to another. The term "virus" is also commonly, but erroneously, used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have a reproductive ability.
Malware includes computer viruses, computer worms, ransomware, trojan horses, keyloggers, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware, malicious BHOs and other malicious software. The majority of active malware threats are usually trojans or worms rather than viruses.[2] Malware such as trojan horses and worms is sometimes confused with viruses, which are technically different: a worm can exploit security vulnerabilities to spread itself automatically to other computers through networks, while a trojan horse is a program that appears harmless but hides malicious functions. Worms and trojan horses, like viruses, may harm a computer system's data or performance. Some viruses and other malware have symptoms noticeable to the computer user, but many are surreptitious or simply do nothing to call attention to themselves. Some viruses do nothing beyond reproducing themselves. So I will advise my friends to watch this video. Cause it is very interesting and informative.
Hello!!! I Saw an interesting ted talk related technology and I think it will interest you. That ted talk's name is "Why Google Glass?". I think that you understood what is this about. But i will say. It is about Google Glass.
ReplyDeleteThan presenter showed a video related Google Glass. When you wear Google glass in the corner glass will show time. In that video owner said to glass record a video and glass started to record. It means that that glass can record video. it can be Skype too what you see with that glass with Skype your friends can see too. It can also take a picture.
You can speak with glass too.
Than when video ends presenter said that when they built the first Google glass it was uncomfortable and it was like a hat and there was no camera on it. Now they made a glass that have camera and much like a glass not hat and it have also an internet on it. And when you get message on your mail, glass will show who send you massage and what he or she send.
I am giving advise to watch this video because I am sure it will interest you.
Hello!!! I have listened to a ted called “Re-engineering mosquitoes to fight disease”. It seems that I like mosquitoes very much, as I wrote a reflection of a podcast which was about these little insects too. Whatever, the broadcaster in this ted was Hadyn Parry.
ReplyDeleteWhen we talk about dangerous animals, most of us definitely think about lions, sharks or something like those. It is unbelievable, BUT the most dangerous animal in the world is mosquito. In fact, mosquitoes killed more people than any other animal. In addition, they killed even more people than wars and plague.
It is a little surprising, that now in 21st, in the century of technologies, with all our advances and society, we can’t control mosquitoes. But it is a fact. Otherwise we would not have 200-300 million cases of malaria every year and 1.5 million deaths from malaria.
50 years ago nothing was known about malaria. But now it is the largest and the most dangerous virus spread all over the world and it is called dengue fever. According to Hadyn Parry this virus is carried by mosquitoes, so we are at risk everywhere: in India, in Europe, in Asia and America. The symptoms of this fever are flu-like symptoms: headache, sickness, pain in muscles. Also you can feel like your bones are breaking. That’s why dengue fever is also called breakbone fever.
Another remarkable fact is that mosquitoes spread really very fast, even if they live just some days and can’t travel very far. The reason of this phenomenon is that mosquitoes lay their eggs everywhere: in clear water, in pool and on goods. And if that clear water is near a port or a transport, those eggs will get transported all over the world. To proof how fast they spread Parry told that in the mid 70-s, Brazil announced the complete absence of the most dangerous type of mosquitoes. But now they spent about billion dollars to get rid of it.
So knowing all these facts about mosquitoes, we must think about solving this problem. And according to Hadyn Parry there is only one effective way: to kill mosquitoes. There are two main ways of killing them:
FIRST: Using chemicals. But this method is not as good as it seems. First of all, these chemicals will kill both mosquitoes and other insect, which is impermissible. Some of those insects are quite beneficial and are very important for our ecosystem. In addition, these chemicals will damage also people.
SECOND: Creating of a product which will kill only mosquitoes. This product will not harm people, will not pollute our environment, and also will be relatively cheap or cost-effective, because the problem of mosquitoes also have some countries, the economy of which is not developed very much.
But there is an alternative way of solving this problem. This method was developed in Oxford University. Basics of this method are two functional factors of mosquitoes, and that is, firstly males don’t bite. Only female mosquitoes actually bite us. And the second factor is that males find female mosquitoes really very fast. And using these two factors scientists changed some genes of male mosquitoes. So for example male meets female and there is a lot of offspring. BUT if the male carries the gene which causes the death of offspring then the offspring will not survive.
Scientists tested this method in Brazil and Cayman Islands and the results were pretty good. So after some years there will be just a little number of mosquitoes. The last news made Hadyn Parry very happy.
But in my own opinion it is not very good news. As I know every animal in the nature, even the most dangerous, has its own “mission”, which is very important for keeping ecosystem. And even mosquitoes have some functions which are very important for nature. So killing them, maybe we will cause other serious problems. Anyway, as I said this is my opinion and it is nothing for scientist (for now) :D.
Thank you for your attention!!!
My 4th TED talk's host is David Pogue, talking about technology's top 10 time saving tricks. He begins with saying that everything risky requires a license, for example, owning a gun, driving a car, getting married. That's true in everything except technology. For example, people give you a computer and "kick you out of the nest", nobody teaches you how to use it, you have to learn it yourself. So, he presents top 10 tricks you think everybody knows, but in fact they don't. I won't list all the tricks, just some of them, and keep some for you to watch.
ReplyDelete"When you open a browser, don't just take the mouse and use the scroll bar, it's a waste of time." So here is the first trick: Just press Spacebar to scroll down one page, and hold Shift while pressing Space to go up the pages. It saves alot of time, I tried on this page.
When we're filling, for example, those credit card payment pages, we all press Tab to jump from box to box. But what about the boxes where you put your state from the popup box? Don't open the popup box, that's very long. Just type the first letter of your state, like if you want to write Texas, type T, T, T till it shows Texas.
Now for a phone trick. We sometimes want to redial the person we dialed before, so we open the call lists and find the called number, which is worse than this: just pressing the "call" button which brings the numpad, and the number will appear, we just press "call". It's alot faster.
To highlight a word in a text, people just drag over it. A better option is to just double-click the word, and it's highlighted. And if you want to delete the highlighted word, "don't bother deleting! Just type over it!" Typing on the highlighted text deletes it all and starts with the letter you typed.
(This one is for presentations) When there are people having a presentation, sometimes the audience is looking at the slide and not at the presentors, which is really frustrating. The presentors can press the B key to blackout the slide and make the audience look at them again. Pressing B unblackouts the slide. Same is for W, same but it's white. Works on Powerpoint and Keynote.
This presenter was funny and the tricks are useful, I suggest you use them to save your time. Thank you for reading, for full list of tricks watch it at TED.
Hi everyone!Today my TED TALK was named "The invisible man" by Liu Bolin.This podcast was very very interesting.When i was watching this podcast i thought that i couldn't write it in my blog because the presenter was from china and was talking in chines and i was reading english translation of that TED talk.This TED talk i think that is about unusual art that makes people invisible and this presenter is one of this persons who became "invisible".The secret is that painters are painting in clothes of that person things and make him invisible.For example it is using in TV shows.In TV shows they are painting security persons.For example there were group of people that were invisible for everybody and they were working together for all their life.In this painting never is using photo shop this is only painting in real way.This presenter was showing photos that he was invisible there.For example he showed photo that is invisible .It was in supermarket.He was painted with some foods and was standing in left of that foods and was showed like invisible man.I think that people can bring money too in this way :D.I liked this TED talk very much because i knew about new ART.
ReplyDeleteI advise you to listen to this TED talk because it was very very interesting.Thank you for your reading!!!
My seventh TED talk is named "My journey to yo yo mastery" by BLACK.He was talking about his classes in Yo yo mastery,how he became champion of that sport.At first when he was 14 years old he had low self-esteem.He thought that he hadn't got talent at everything.But one day when he bought yo yo he got talent in it.He done his first trick but it wasn't very beautifull.But it was very natural for him because he hated all sports.But after one day practicing he was playing it bit better.And he thought that yo yo is something in his life to be good at first time in his life.He was practicing all time and when he was 18 years old he was standing onstage at the world yo yo contest.And he won that contest.He was excited because it was his first win.He may get many sponsors,money, interviews on TV's but he didn't do that he came back to Japan where he started to work as a systems engineer.But he thought that he can't live without yo yo and he decided to make performance better.He started carrier of professional performer.He started to learn classic ballet,jazz,dance,acrobatics to make his performance better and he done that.With the help of this efforts he took place in second world yo yo concert and won.And yo yo changed his life.I liked this TED talk and i advise my friends to listen to this TED talk.

My ted is called “What fear can teach us” by Karen Thompson Walker. One day in 1819, 3,000 miles off the coast of Chile 20 American sailors watched their ship flood with seawater. They’d been struck by a sperm whale, which had ripped a catastrophic hole in the ship’s hull. Their ship began to sink, and they had to huddle together in three small whaleboats. Men were 10,000 miles from home and more than 1,000 miles from the nearest scrap of land. In their small whaleboats they had few food and water and other things. These were the men of the whaleship Essex, whose story would later inspire parts of “Moby Dick”. So they started to think where do they must to go. They knew that nearest island they could reach were the Marquesas Islands, 1,200 miles away. But they heard that these islands and several near islands were populated by cannibals. They could also go to Hawaii islands, but they were afraid of being beaten by severe storms. So the fear interfered them to go to those islands.
ReplyDeleteWe all know what it’s like to be afraid, we know how fear feels, but we haven’t spent enough time thinking what our fears mean. As we grow up, we start to think that fear is a weakness. Neuroscientists have proved that human beings are hard-wired to be optimists. So maybe that’s why we think fear contains in and off itself a danger. But what if we think of fear as an amazing act of our imagination. Every child had his/her own fears, monster hiding under the bed, darkness and other many fears. Karen is from California, and there she had one fear. That was the earthquake, because of that fear she couldn’t sleep, she always thought what would be to her family and their house because of an earthquake. If children have fears like those, adults usually say that it’s a vivid imagination. We have to leave that fears behind and grow up. We must learn that there are no monsters and other scary things. What can we learn from fears? The sailors in 1819 didn’t know what to do, they were starting to get hungry, their food was eaten and all this was because of the fear of being eaten by cannibals or being beaten by storms. The sailors eventually went to South Africa, some of them died and some of them were saved by other sailors from other ships.
Instead of calling that emotions fears, we can call them stories. Because that’s really what fear is, if you think about it. It’s a kind of unintentional storytelling. Like we are the writers of those stories or in some cases we are the readers. So instead of forgetting their fears, sailors continued reading their fears.
Our fears are the amazing gifts of our imaginations. But sometimes we have to forget them and focus on the truth.
This ted talk called "Lakshmi Pratury on letter-writing" where a woman talked about her father death.
ReplyDeleteWhen her father died he left her a legacy of his handwriting through letters and a notebook. In the last two years of his life, when he was sick, he filled a notebook with his thoughts about his doughter. There are times when she wants to trade all those years that she was too busy to sit with her dad and chat with him, and trade all those years for one hug. But too it's late. but when she takes out his letters and read them, she feels connected to him.
So this woman think maybe it's the best idea to leave our children with a value legacy, and not a financial one. A value for things with a personal touch...
This woman said that she collect autograph books and CDs for his son. She committed to compiling her and sons' thoughts into a book, and leave that published book for her son...
Hello everyone!Today I have watched an interesting video,which is called "How books can open your mind".The presenter was Lisa Bu.Before I start writing about this video,I want to mention that it's important to watch this video,because many children or students don't like reading books and always pay attention to their computers and forget about books.
ReplyDeleteLisa Bu brought example from her own life so as to explain everyone how important the books are.I will tell the short plot of her example and will try to explain how important the books are in our life.
Lisa's dream was to become an opera singer or piano player,but her parents were against it (they wanted Lisa to become an engineer).Only Lisa's friends were supporting her,but they were as poverness as Lisa.When she became 15 years old,she thought that she was too old to practise,but she didn't give up (but she didn't know what to do).She started reading books,especially books with notes.And with the help of the books she found her passion.
Now I want to present what possitive sides have the books:
1.You can learn more information (new words,news,etc.).
2.Different books can express stories which arelike the stories of our lifes and it can give you many sollutions of problems you have.
3.There are many books that can teach us (for example,they can teach us the notes,grammar,new words,etc.).
4.Reading books you will become a literate person.
I have mentioned only four possitive sides of the books,but it has more and more possitive sides.
It was an interesting video,but I expected more interesting one.I don't want to advice you watch this video,because I am sure that you can find other interesting videos.Thank you for reading!!!
Hi everyone!!Today my TED talk is from shortest TED talks group named "Success is a continuous journey" by Richard St. John.This was about success he was telling examples and etc. about success.He was telling that why do many people get success and than fail?.To get success you might go only in this way.
ReplyDelete1.passion
2.work
3.focus
4.push
5.ideas
6.improve
7.serve
8.persist
and you are getting success.But then you are failing because you are thinking that you are in the top,that you have everything and you are not working.This is the fail of success.When you are getting success you think that
-Hey i'm good enought and i don't have space to grow up and than you fail.
For getting success you might have good ideas.You might
1.listen
2.observe
3.problem solve
4.make connections
5.ask questions
6.be curious.
But remember that you can't get success with money because to get success you must work hard.
I advise you to listen to this TED talk because it is interesting.
Thank you for your reading!
Hi!!!Today my ted is about mammonths nad their facts.IF we know mamonts are big big animals likes elephats and they were disapared 2500 years ago.They are big,Clever and strong.And Hendrick Poinar shares how his team is sequencing the woolly mammoth genome. And he says that were been 10000-15000 years female mamonths.Ok first Fact is that Contrary to common belief, the woolly mammoth was hardly mammoth in size. AND I SAYS about it.The ears of a woolly mammoth were shorter than the modern elephant’s ears. Like their thick coat of fur, their shortened ears were an important cold-weather adaptation because it minimized frostbite and heatloss.
ReplyDeleteAND 3th Scientists can discern a woolly mammoth’s age from the rings of its tusk, like looking at the rings of a tree. 4th The woolly mammoth was not the only “woolly” type of animal.5th Cave paintings drawn by ice age humans show the important relationship they had with the woolly mammoths. 6th Today, the hunt is on for woolly mammoth tusks in the Arctic Siberia.7th The first fully documented woolly mammoth skeleton was discovered in 1799.8th The coat of a woolly mammoth consisted of a “guard” of foot long hairs, and an undercoat of shorter hairs.9th Even a kid can discover a preserved mammoth. In September 2012 in Russia, an 11-year-old boy named Yevgeny “Zhenya” Salinder happened upon an extremely well-preserved woolly mammoth carcass while walking his dogs.And final 10th The final resting place of woolly mammoths was Wrangel Island in the Arctic. Although, most of the woolly mammoth population died out by 10,000 years ago, a small population of 500-1000 woolly mammoths lived on Wrangel Island until 1650 BC. That’s only about 4,000 years ago! For context, Egyptian pharoahs were midway through their empire and it was about 1000 years after the Giza pyramids were built. The reason for the demise of these woolly mammoths are unknown.
Thank You!!!

Hello guys !!
ReplyDeleteI listened a video called 10 TOP TIME-SAVING TECH TIPS. It first when I read the tittle I thought it is going to be something boring and not interesting, but when I watched the video I understood that I was false it was a great video and now I will tell and introduce you what I have seen and that time you will see that this was a great and useful video.
Tech columnist David Pogue shares 10 simple, clever tips for computer, web, smartphone and camera users. And yes, you may know a few of these already -- but there's probably at least one you don't.
David Pogue is the personal technology columnist for the New York Times and a tech correspondent for CBS News. He's also one of the world's bestselling how-to authors, with titles in the For Dummies series and his own line of "Missing Manual" books.
Firstly I would like to speak about him because he is very intelligent and very very famous person.
David Pogue is the personal technology columnist for the New York Times and a tech correspondent for CBS News. He's also one of the world's bestselling how-to authors, with titles in the For Dummies series and his own line of "Missing Manual" books.
Why you should listen to him:
Which cell phone to choose? What software to buy? Are camera-binoculars a necessity or novelty? As release cycles shorten and ever-shrinking gadgets hit the market with dizzying speed, it's harder and harder to know what's worth the investment. A tireless explorer of everyday technology, David Pogue investigates all the options so we don't have to.
After happily weathering installation nightmares, customer service hiccups, and an overwhelming crush of backups, upgrades and downloads, Pogue reports back with his recommendations via his many columns, TV appearances and how-to books. And he does it all with relatable insight, humor and an unsinkable sense of pun, er, fun. All that, and he sings, too.
This is very good tip. Due to tips, my smart life becomes more smart. I'm iPhone user. So some tips really are of help to using iPhone. And using spacebar for down&up scroll also is of use to seeing internet screens. Thank you so much.
In Windows 7: If you don't like the size of the icons on your desktop, hold down the ctrl key and use the scroll feature on your mouse and the size of the icons will change.
Well I am sure that most of you know ctrl+c and ctrl+v for copy and paste, but you should also consider ctrl+x to cut. I use this all the time in excel and need to use it more outside of excel because I know so many other places where I could use this lol.
In any windows browser, use alt+tab to switch between programs (this is especially useful if you play computer games that take up the entire screen as you don't have to close the game to go to windows).
Ctrl+tab allows you to toggle between your internet tabs so you don't have to use a mouse.
For those who work with folder that have MANY documents in them and need to efficiently get to a certain folder type the letter that the folder/document starts with and it wil toggle to a document that starts with that letter, continue hitting that letter and you will continue to toggle until you get to your desired folder/document, then click enter to open the folder/document.
ReplyDeleteLooking for a specific word in most programs (PDF, .doc, web browsers, a folder, etc...)? ctrl+f has helped me find specific words in large documents (eg: research papers, series 7 exam manual pdf) that relate to a specific topic so you don't have to skim read through a document to find what you are looking for.
To copy a file, press and hold down the CTRL key while you drag the file to another folder.
If you print often, ctrl+p in any document to open the print menu. This has saved me boatloads of time at work.
In any MS office product.
•CTRL+B: Bold
•CTRL+U: Underline
•CTRL+I: Italic
Alt+F4: Close Window and to shut down your computer
Ctrl+F4: Close tab (for browsers, multiple documents running in one window, etc.)
Ctrl+T: Opens a new tab for browsers
Home: Brings you to the top of the webpage/document or the beginning of the line in a text box.
End: Brings you to the bottom of the webpage/document or the end of the line in a text box.
(I suggest trying Home and End with different applications. For example, in Adobe Reader, Home takes you to the top of the first page, and End takes you to the top of the last page when you're not selecting text.)
For writing text here are some more things to try out:
Ctrl + Arrow/Home/End key: to change position
Shift + Arrow/Home/End key: to highlight from one position to the next
Shift + Ctrl + Arrow/Home/End key: combines the two above
So finally I will advise my friends to watch this video and you will know a lot about computer keyboard.
Very interesting and useful video !!!
Hello everybody !!!
ReplyDeleteI want to present you another video that I watched on TED and it is called Could the sun be good for your heart?
At first when you read this you think of course it will be good for your heart and you are right.But other may think not at all you are right too. But now we will know more about sun and about our hearts.
Our bodies get Vitamin D from the sun, but as dermatologist Richard Weller suggests, sunlight may confer another surprising benefit too. New research by his team shows that nitric oxide, a chemical transmitter stored in huge reserves in the skin, can be released by UV light, to great benefit for blood pressure and the cardiovascular system. What does it mean? Well, it might begin to explain why Scots get sick more than Australians ...
Dermatologist Richard Weller wants to know: Why are Scots so sick?
A little about him. Edinburgh-native Richard Weller was studying medicine in Australia when something suddenly struck him as odd: Why are the Scots so sick? Australians suffer from heart disease at one-third the rate that Britons do, with lower death rates from heart attacks and heart failure, and fewer strokes overall. When Weller looked into it, this wasn't unique to Australia and England: In fact, there are wide gaps in mortality even within the UK, a gradient which maps roughly ... geographically? A five-degree change in latitude -- between London and Edinburg, for example -- shows a nearly 20 percent higher rate of mortality. Weller and his team have been working ever since to crack this mysterious gap, and most recently their research shows it may be related to exposure to sunlight. Nitric oxide (NO), a chemical transmitter produced by the skin and stored in great reserves, is released by exposure to UV rays, and this in turn is very important to cardiovascular health. Weller is a senior lecturer in Dermatology at the University of Edinburgh. His two areas of study are the role of NO in human skin physiology and the role of skin barrier function deficiencies in atopic disease.
The last point he mentioned was that we need to find the risk benefit ratio of how much sunlight is safe. I agree, at first I didn't know what he was saying but now I understand. Go out, get a shine and don't worry about getting skin cancer because there is a bigger risk of heart disease if you don't. I think it is obvious that the three men who found nitric oxide on skin got the Nobel prize. How would have thought that those kinds of chemicals would be on our skin.
Interesting idea. I need to check it, but I am pretty sure that there is such a relationship. For a long time in hte UK we used to keep 'winter wards' which were closed in summer and re-opened for hte annual seasonal increase in acute admissions in winter. There are more heart attacks in winter and it is a busier time for internal medicine doctors in the UK. I don't think there are such strong seasonal changes at lower latitudes where there are in any case not the same pattern of 4 seasons- rather a 'dry' and a 'wet'. Richard
Finally I would advise my friends to watch this video cuz it is interesting but I am pretty sure that there would be some people that would not like this video !!!!

ReplyDeleteHello!!! I saw an interesting ted talk about water. I think this ted talk will interest you too. This ted talk is by Michael Pritchard who is a scientist. This ted talk name is "How to make filthy water drinkable".And now I will tell about this ted talk
ReplyDeleteNot everyone have good and clean water for example African people they have dirty water and it is bad. In dirty water there are many viruses that people can drink and die. And because of that Michael Pritchard discovered LIFESAVER bottle. This bottle can filter water and make it clean. Than Michael Pritchard show audience how you can clean water with LIFESAVER battle. At first Prichard dropped many dirty thing into a water. I don't want to say what he dropped into a water because it will be very unpleasant. Than Pritchard poured water into LIFESAVER battle and flapped it four or five times and than opened it. Than he poured it into a glass and drunk it all. When he was pouring dirty water into LIFESAVER battle it was brown but when he poured LIFESAVER battle from glass it was very clean.
I am giving advise to watch this video because it was very interesting. Thank you for reading.
Hello!!! I saw an interesting ted talk about vultures. This ted talk was by Maunir Virani. And this ted talk's name is "Why I love vultures". I think this ted talk will interest you too.
ReplyDeleteVultures are very special group of animals. They are amongst the most threatened group of birds. If you see a vulture I think that you will think that that bird is disgusting, ugly and greed creatures.
Than presenter said that he wants to change those feelings that we have for these birds.
There is a story about vultures that why they have such a bad press.
When Charles Darwin went across the Atlantic in 1832 on the beagle, he saw the turkey vulture, and he said, "These are disgusting birds with bald scarlet heads that are formed to revel in putridity."
There are two types of vultures: New world vultures and old world vultures.
Old world vultures are 16 species. From 16, 11 of them are facing a high risk of extinction and we must love them and take care of them.
I am giving advice to watch this ted talk because I learned not to abhor them. Thank you for reading
Hello!! I would like to tell about an interesting ted talk named "Google's driver less car." This ted talk was by Sebastian Thrun. Sebastian Thrun is working in
ReplyDeleteGoogle technology and he wants to create car that can drive without human. Sebastian Thrun started to create cars when he was 18 years old. When he were 18 years old he lost his first and favorite car. And because of this he gave his life to the cars. And when he became 26 he made the perfect and safe driver less car. And you can drive that cars where you want. For example in California. You can switch auto drive and that car will drive by his self.
But sometimes cars are becoming crazy and even do little stunts.
In the end I want to say that this ted talk was one of the interesting ted talks that I ever saw and because of that I am giving advice to watch this video. Thank you for reading.

Hello everyone!Today I have watched a very interesting video called "Finding the story inside the painting".The presenter was Tracy Chevalier.Now I am going to write about the video.At first I will present what she thinks about this topic and then I will write about three pictures,which were the best for her.
ReplyDeleteTracy started her speech with an example of her own life.She told that one day she went to the art gallery,where were a lot of rooms with nice and attractive pictures on the walls.She looked at the pictures,but she couldn't think about this pictures,she only thought about getting back home and having a cup of tea in order to wake up and start thinking.Then she thought that when we went to a restaurant,we didn't order every single food that they had,we ordered some of the food they had (not more than 5 kinds of food)or when we went to shopping,we didn't buy every single dress that we saw:we chose some of the,dresses that we liked.Tracy told that the same we could do in the galleries.We could like only two or three pictures,so there was no need to watch every picture and think about them.And now I am going to write about three pictures that Tracy like the most and made stories of it:D
1.The first picture was called "Girl With a Pearl Earring" by Jonannes Vermeer.The picture was really very beautiful,but the most attractive thing (for Tracy) was how that girl looked at Vermeer.In the gallery there wasn't written who was that girl looking at the painter in that way.And Tracy started thinking who that girl could be.At first she thought that she was one of Vermeer's daughters(Vermeer had 11 children),but then she understood that the daughter couldn't look at his father in that way and also they couldn't enter the studio of Vermeer,only the servants could go their in order to clean the room.Tracy thought that she could be their servant,but then she saw that the girl in the picture was wearing an expensive earring,which couldn't be the servant's earring.So Tracy understood that the girl in the picture was Vermeer's wife.
2.Second picture was called "Boy Building a House of Cards" by Chardin,who was a 18th-century French painter.Tracy didn't talk about this picture much and that's why I want to skip this part (the picture was beautiful and attractive,but the story about it wasn't interesting).
3.The last picture was called "Anonymous".This picture was attractive,too.Tracy made a short story about this picture.Tracy called the story "Rozy".I don't want to tell it,because it wasn't so interesting (Tracy wasn't a story maker and it's fine that she didn't write a very interesting story).
This TedTalk was very interesting and I don't know why it attracted me.I want to advice my friends and relatives to watch this video.And for addition,the video was 14 minutes,but was so interesting that I didn't understand how the time passed.Thank you for reading !!!
Hello!!! I would like to tell on of the ted talks that I saw. This ted talk was by Peter Fankhauser. This ted talk is very interesting ted talk and I think it will interest you too. This ted talk's name is "Meet Rezero, the dancing ballbaot"
ReplyDeleteThis Ted talk is about Rezero. Rezero is a robot. Rezero was developed by group of 10 undergraduate students. Rezero belongs to a family of robots called Ballbots. This robot didn't have wheels and instead of it this robot is balancing and moving on one single ball. Rezero keeps his balance by sensor. And for move Rezero needs to turn the bull and it is driven by three special wheels. These wheels allow Rezero to move into any direction.
You can play with Rezero too. Rezero can do tricks. For example you can make him spin. Rezero can follow a person.
There are future applications too. One of them that Rezero can be used in exhibitions or parks. With screen it could inform people or show entertaining way. With it you can enter to internet and see where you are or see where you can go by that road. But in hospital this device could be used to carry around medical equipment.
I am giving advice to watch this video because if you see this robot you would like to have one of it in your home. Thank you for reading.
Hello everyone!!This is my last TED talk named "Your brain on video games" by Daphne Bavelier.She was talking about video games.She was telling that when we are saying video game we are remembering children.But now video games are playing gran mothers and gran fathers.Nowadays some parents think that it's normal that their children are reading Shakespeare or other books.
ReplyDeleteNow most of children are playing "Call of Duty Black Ops".They are shooting zombies or bad people.Some parents say that
-Everyday you are shooting zombies go and read books.
It's true.
When we are playing video games we are damaging our eyes.She was telling and showing some examples.When people are playing action games for example:5 times in week they will damage their eyes and those who are playing 3 times are not damaging their eyes.Their eyes will be good in future.She was showing game for eyes.There were 8 or 9 yellow and blue smiles in moment blue smiles were becoming yellow but there was still one blue that was not seen to eye and people were saying where is that smile you can watch it in TED and you can try it too.
I advise you to listen to this TED talk.
Thank you for your reading!!!
THE END :)
Hello!!! I saw an interesting ted talk about babies. I think this ted talk will interest you too. This ted talk’s name is "A warm embrace that saves lives".
ReplyDeleteBabies can't regulate their own body temperature. Babies don’t have enough fat to stay warm. And 20 million babies are born every year around the world. And four million of these babies die annually.
The first month of babies life it is only job is to grow. There are many illnesses that that babies can get ill because of cold.
Because of this Jane Chen and her team gave solution. And that solution is ultra-low-cost. It is small sleeping bag for baby. You can open it. It is waterproof.
In it there is pouch of wax that has phase-change material. It is wax-like substance with melting point of human body temperature, 37 degrees Celsius. This product lunched in India in 2010 and the price is 25 dollars.
I am giving advice to watch this ted talk to know that not all people and their children can live well like us.
Thank you for reading.
Hello!!! I saw an interesting ted talk named "Life lessons through tinkering." This ted talk was by Gever Tulley. Gever Tulley is teacher in Tinkering Schools in United States. In Tinckering school kids can pick up sticks and hammers and other dangerous things. In that school children are trusted. In Tinckering school there are no tests. In that school teachers are not trying to teach any specific things. When children came that school they met with woods, nails and with real tools. And their goal was to ensure that they leave with a better sense of how to make things.
ReplyDeleteIn that school teachers teaches how to make things with wood. For example in the video one of the children made wooden airplane and that was very beautiful.
There are high and low classes. In low classes children are making airplanes, ships or other thing. But in high classes children are making small houses where they can enter. In the video there were a group of children who were making house in the tree.
I am giving advice to watch this ted talk and see how children can make things with wood.
Thank you for reading.
My TED is called “Finding the story inside the painting” by Tracy Chevalier. Tracy is suffering from an affliction that almost everyone suffer from. When she’s walking around an Art gallery rooms full of paintings and 15 minutes later she realizes she’s not thinking about the paintings. When she looks at them she doesn’t understand what the picture is about. When she looks at them, she thinks that somebody decided to put them there and thinks they’re good enough to be on that wall. And she feels there unhappy and when she leaves the gallery she feels again unhappy and also guilty, because she can’t understand the gist of the picture. She says that we need a break. For example, when go to restaurant, and take the menu, do we select and order every single food, no of course. So as same as in the gallery, we don’t have to explore every single picture. We can just look at three or even one picture. So, when Tracy goes to the Art gallery, the first thing she does, she goes quite fast, looks at each picture next to her, and when one picture allures her, she stands in front of that picture and starts to look at it patiently and tries to understand what that picture is about, and what that picture tries to say you. She starts to tell herself a story about that picture. She asked to people “Why story? Our DNA tells us to tell a story.” She brought three paintings that made Tracy to think a story about them.
ReplyDeleteThe first picture she brought was “Girl with a Pearl Earring” by Johannes Vermeer 17th-century Dutch painter. Tracy thinks that’s the most glorious painting, she first saw when she was 19. In the painting there’s a girl, who looking at you very strangely, you can’t understand if she’s sad or happy. Tracy read a novel about that girl, and she still can’t understand the feelings of that girl. Tracy started to think, who was that girl for the painter. She thought if she was painters daughter, but then changed her opinion, because she wasn’t looking at painter the way daughter would look at father. Then Tracy discovered that the girl was a single servant. But there was one confusing thing, the pearl earring. A single servant couldn’t ware pearl earring. So Tracy thought they were the earring of painters wife, by the way painter had 11 children. It follows that in painter’s house would be very noisy, so the painter could have his own working room. The painter and the girl were alone in that room. And Tracy finally found and made the story of that picture by herself.
The second picture she brought was called “Boy Building a House of Cards” by Chardin, who is an 18th-century French painter. Actually, he painted different versions of that picture, Tracy brought the one she loved mostly. In that picture, there’s a guy, who’s trying to build a house of cards and he looks only at cards, not anywhere else. The main idea of this picture that Tracy thought, was that the painter was trying to persuade the boy to tilt his head and to look at him for a while, but the boy was still looking at the cards, and wasn’t tilting his head. And so the painter painted him like that. This was the story of that picture.
The third picture was called “Anonymous” by anonymous. This is a Tudor portrait bought by the National Portrait Gallery. There’s a man in a white suit with beautiful buttons and collar. That was a suit of gentleman. Tracy made the story of this picture in a book, it’s a short story. If you want to hear to that find this TED.
Follow to Tracy’s advices and you won’t be bored.
This Ted talk's title is "Lisa Bu: How books can open your mind." It's about a chinese girl who, while a child, wanted to first become an athlete, but the parents wanted her to become an engineer, then she wanted to become a chinese opera singer, but the adults weren't serious, didn't like the idea and didn't help her become one. "Nobody to teach me? Fine!", Lisa Bu thought, and turned to books. She replaced parental advice with books' texts. She showed some books she read in China. "I came to US in 1995, and which books did I read? The ones banned in China, of course." She read books like "The Good Earth", which describes China's peasant life, and "Holy Bible". She says the Bible was strange...
ReplyDeleteLisa Bu claims that encountering a new culture started her habit of comparative reading. For an example, she shows the map she found, the map we use, and the map Chinese students use. She says that a map actually carries somebody's view. Comparative reading is not new. There are even some fields like comparative literature or comparative religion. "If comparative reading is for research, why not do it in daily life?" She reads books in pairs, about different people but same event, about friends with shared experiences, stories in different cultures or genres. "Books give a magic portal which let me connect between people in the past and in the present", she says. "I know I shall never feel lonely again". She says that dream's coming true isn't the only purpose of a dream, it's main purpose is to be in touch.
I didn't really understand this talk and I didn't like it, I don't suggest you watch this one.
This one is interesting, named "How much does a video weigh?" It's a very cool and interesting talk, a TED-Ed lesson, about the video's weight and the colour of a mirror.
ReplyDeleteMichael Stevens, the host of VSauce, a Youtube channel full of crazy questions like this ted-ed lesson's title, introduces his channel and some episodes. Vsauce has around 2 million subscribers and each video is watched more than 2 million times. So, he opens 8 random episodes. In the lower-right corner, there's a video named "What colour is a mirror?" People will click it because of the title and watch Michael answer that question. And he answers that question at the TED scene: the mirror is abit, ABIT green. To demonstrate it, we can put 2 mirrors infront of each other so they reflect back and forth forever, and some light will be lost(reflected away, for example), and the mirrors will turn dimmer, greener. The reason is, green light is best reflected by most mirrors.
So, how much does a video weigh? A minute of a video is around 10 million electrons, but the electrons in the device don't increase/decrease, so they use power to store all that information or whatever, I didn't understand. Well, in short, a minute of a video is around 0.000000000000000001 grams. That's a really low number though, so we can record even day-long videos, but our computer or whatever device we use will not get any measurably heavier.
This Ted lesson was very interesting, this proves that Michael Stevens' videos on Youtube or Vsauce are worth to be watched.
Hello everyone!The next video that I have watched today is called "Txting is killing language".The presenter was John McWhorter.I will tell what I understood from this video.It was too long,but I will tell what I understood from this hole text.
ReplyDeleteWhat I understand from this video (even by reading the title) is that when people use the words in a different way to write an E-mail or a massege,they forget about writing the words in the right way (they write the words in a different way).Even sometimes we can meet people who speak in that way (they spell the words in the wrong way,the way that they write masseges,E-mails,etc.).For example,the word please is written plz,the word thanks is thx,etc.
I personally use the shorten kindes of words in masseges,but I don't forget about the right way of this words (For example,some people write plz and when they must write the right way they write plize:D).So for me it's fine that people write in this way,but they musn't forget about their language.
I won't advice my friends and relatives to watch this video,because it wasn't interesting and I have written only the main part,but it was too long and I don't understand why he spoke so much!Thanks for reading!!!♥
Hello everyone again!The last video I have watched today (the last video about what we must write this term) is called "8 secrets of success".The presenter was Richard John.Now I will tell only the 8 facts about success and maybe in the future some of us will enjoy a big success.
ReplyDelete1.The first secret of success is the passion.If you have a passion and love your job,you will have a success.And also you must forget about the money you earn.
2.The second secret is the work.As people say nothing comes easily and if your do everything hard you will have fun.
3.The third secret is that you must put everything to do your work.You mustn't be mean and do everything not to lose work.
4.The forth secret is that you must focus.
5.You must push yourself.
6.You must serve and help others.
7.You must have ideas.You must listen,observe,be curious,ask question,solve problems and make connections.
8.And the last secret is the "Persist". Persistance is the number one reason for our success.You gotta persist to failure.
I will advice all my friends and realtives to watch this video,because it was interesting and not very long.
Wow,done done done...I have done all my Ted Talks.Thanks for reading!!!
My TED is called “Tour the solar system from home” by Jon Nguyen. As a kid, Jon was fascinated with all things air and space. He was watching Nova on PBS. Their school was showing Bill Nye the Science Guy. When he was a student, his neighbor gave him a book for his birthday. It was an astronomy book and he poured over that thing for hours on end, and it was a combination of all these things that inspired him to pursue space exploration as his own personal dream, and part of that dream was, he always wanted to fly around the solar system and visit different planets and visit moons and spacecraft and other things. He found himself at NASA, working for the jet propulsion laboratory, and there their team was challenged to create a 3D visualization of the solar system, they’ve already created it and Jon was showing people their creation.
ReplyDeleteThe main thing about this was the fact that everything Jon was doing by his computer, we can do that at home. They built that for the public for us. So he showed the 3D Earth, and we can use the mouse or the keyboard to spin things around. That wasn’t a new thing, because there’s a such thing in Google earth. But in Jon’s group, they do the opposite of Google Earth. Google Earth goes from that view down to our backyard, but they go from that view out to the stars. So they can look the spacecraft. There are many settings in their program and by those programs Jon can go and see what is happening in Saturn or Pluto or in other planets. They can go to Uranus and find what temperature there is and for other planets too. There’s also one setting, which allows you to go 1950 and see the satellites, what they looked like and how many of them were. And they have data from 1950 to 2050. So there are other settings, like when you spin things around the Earth, you can see the sunset on the ISS. Jon wants kids to explore and see things in space by this program, and he also wants kids to be inspired of space like he was.

ReplyDeleteThe next interesting video is called "The 4 ways sound affects us".This video is about the sounds that can not only make us happy but angry too.
ReplyDeleteThe host was Julian Treasure.He studies sound and advises businesses on how best to use it.
Playing sound effects both pleasant and awful,Julian Treasure shows how sound affects us in four significant ways.Listen carefully for a shocking fact about noisy open-plan offices.
He noted that most of the sounds around us are accidental. And it's unpleasant. (The noise of cars). We talk on the street corner, trying to shout down a similar sound and pretending it does not exist. But this habit of ignoring sound shows how we unconsciously treat them.
There are 4 ways that sound affects us constantly, and Julian wanted to deepen our understanding and attention to them. The first method - physiological. (Loud alarm sound), a hormone the "fight or flight". Sounds constantly affect our hormone secretion, respiration, heart rate, he had demonstrated, and our brain waves.
(The sound of the surf) Its frequency - about 12 cycles per minute. Many of the sound soothing, and it is interesting that 12 cycles per minute - that's about breathing rate sleeper. It gives a great response to the state of rest. We also associate it with stress relief and relaxation.
The second way in which sound affects us - it's psychological. Music - the most powerful form of sound, known to us, it affects our emotional state. (Music Adagio Albinioni) For most of us this is exactly bring sadness if he didn't turn it off. But not only musical sounds affect our emotions.
Natural sounds are also affected. Singing birds, for example, most of the people affected comforting. (Birds chirping) And it has a foundation in the fact that for hundreds of thousands of years, we have become accustomed to the fact that when the birds are singing, all spooyno. Only worry is when they stop.
The third way in which the sounds are affecting us - cognitive. Can not be understood by the two speakers at the same time or, as in this case, two simultaneous speech of one person. Try to hear the other. ("You have to choose who you want to listen to")
We have a very small bandwidth to handle voice input, so a similar sound - (Noise in the office) - a very negative impact on performance. If you are forced to work in an office with an open floor plan, your performance is dramatically reduced. And what about those we would not think it is probably not as bad as that. (Ominous music) performance in open-plan offices is only a third of the performance in the silent room. Julian had a little advice for us. If we have to work in these areas, then carry your headphones, for example, with the soothing sound recording type of singing birds. Put them on, and our productivity will triple again to its proper level.
The fourth way in which sound affects us - proactive.it would be surprising if the presence of such an environment, our behavior would change. (Music in the style of "techno" in the car) At a minimum, we try to get away from the unpleasant sound and nice to hear. If he lost it (hammer) for a few seconds,we would be uncomfortable, and if a few minutes, we would be amicable stream began to leave the room. And for those who can not avoid this noise, it causes great damage to health.
ReplyDeleteBut the awful sound not only destroys health. Many of the sounds out of place in stores and casual, and even with hostility, and all this strongly affects the amount of sales. Those here who are engaged in retail trade, may turn away, before Julian showed the next slide. They lose up to 30 percent of potential sales because people are leaving their shops faster or just unfolding back at the door. We all do it: leave the room, if there is an unpleasant sound.
We can go from the top down, to explore sounds, to analyze the sound stage and then to predict the result of 4, he talked about. And we can go from the bottom up, set the desired results and build a sound stage in order to achieve the desired effect. Finally, there is the scientific method and its application. We are engaged in the construction of sound panoramas.
Music - the strongest type of sound, but it is often used incorrectly. A strong it for two reasons. The music is very fast is recognizable, and arising from this association is very strong. (Introductory chord of "A Hard Day's Night" Beatles) The majority found it instantly. Although, those who are younger, maybe not.(The first two notes of the movie "Jaws"), and for most it is also associated with something! But this is only a one-second snippets. Music has a huge impact. But, unfortunately, in the areas of trade, it is used where necessary and not necessary.Julian hopes in the coming years, this will change.
Julian told a little about brands, as we have control of brand-name companies. Every brand is trying to create an original sound. Through sound brand can express 8 ways. All of them are important, but in the center - the brand guidelines. Pleased to say that the process has already begun. (Advertising chime Intel) (Ringtone Nokia) And this - the most common melody in the world. Every day, it sounds 1800000000 times and costs nothing to Nokia.
For those who have finished their business that will give four golden rules for the use of sound business. First, the sound should match the visual channels of communication about the company. This increases the effect of more than 1,100%! If the audio channel is out of sync, then the effect is reduced by 86%. This is - an order of magnitude: the up and down. This is very important. Second, it must match the situation. Third, it should be valuable. The sound should carry something, not just knock on the ears. Finally, constantly testing. Sound - a difficult thing. It contains a lot of contradictory effects. It is like a plate of spaghetti: sometimes to know what will happen, we just have to eat.
Julian hopes my remarks caused us to think about the sound. If we listen to consciously monitor and surround sound, then that's fine will affect both the health and performance. If we all do that, we will reach a state in keeping with the healthy life in this world. In parting - a bit of singing birds.
This video was very interesting and informative so I will advice all my friends to watch this video!
This the sequel cause it said this can't be published because it's more than 4096 words.
ReplyDeleteMy last TED is called “What we learn before we’re born” by Annie Murphy Paul. Annie has an answer “When does learning begin?”. You maybe thought that this question means that when first people went to kindergarten or to school. Annie says that the most important years of learning are the earliest ones. And so our answer to her question would be: Learning begins at birth. Annie gives us surprising idea and maybe implausible, but which is supported by the latest evidence from psychology and biology. The most important learning we ever do, happens before we’re born. Annie is a science reporter and she wrote magazines and books and she’s also a mother. And those two roles came to her in book that she wrote called “Origins”.
ReplyDeleteWe all learn about everything, before our birth. So it’s very simple, as everyone knows babies can hear and get an information about the outside world, when they are inside of their mother’s paunch.
When babies come to our world, they start to do many things, like walking, smiling, speaking, taking the fork and many other things. Babies also start to remember things, the things, which they’ve done before.
So the basic idea that we learn about everything, before our birth is clear.
Thank you for reading my last TED.
The next video I have watched is about magic and it was very interesting.The video is called"The magic of truth and lies(and iPods).
ReplyDeleteThe host was Marco Tempest,a magician and illusionist for the 21th century.Marco Tempest blends cutting-edge technology with the flair and shownmanship of Houdini.
Using three ipods like magical props,Marco Tempest spins a clever,surprisingly heartfelt meditation truth and lies,art and emotion.
The whole video was magic show. Marco Tempest was showing some magic tricks.But very interesting tricks.And he was checking how true things people say.And this was very beautiful not only beautiful but fascinating,inspiring.
I would advise all my friends to watch this magic show video.Thank you for reading!
Hey guys!Today I have watched a video called "A 12-years-old app developer".This video was a about a boy,a 12 years old boy who is creating apps.This video was very interesting cause it was about apps which we use every day.
ReplyDeleteMost 12-years-olds love playing videogames.Thomas Suarez taught himself how to create them.After developing iPhone apps like "Bustin Jieber",a whack-a-mole game,he is now using his skills to help other kids become developers.
Thomas Suarez is that boy who was talking about this all aboout apps.He is a 12 year old boy who taught himself to build iPhone apps.
He has always been attracted to computers and technology, and he has written several applications for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. The first application - a unique harbinger of the future «Earth Fortune». This application shows the earth in different colors depending on your luck.His favorite and most successful app called Bustin Jieber. In this game you have to drive out of Justin Bieber.He created this app because a lot of people at school disliked Justin Bieber, so he decided to write this application.He started working on this app, and finished it just before the holidays in 2010. Many people ask him how he wrote this program. In most cases, the questioner wants to learn how to build applications. Today, most children love to play video games but other than that, and they want to do it, but it's difficult, because few of the boys know where to go to learn how to write software. To learn how to play football, you can go to the football club. To learn to play the violin, you can take violin lessons. But what if you want to learn how to write an application? Parents could do something similar when they were young, but few parents engaged in writing programs!Where to go to learn how to write programs? That's how he approaches it. First of all,he has been programming in various languages to learn the basics. These were the languages such as Python, C, Java. Then Apple released the iPhone, and with it, and a suite of applications for software development on the iPhone. Application development package - a set of tools for creating programs on the iPhone. This has opened up for him a world of possibilities, and, after playing a bit with the application package for the design,he made a few test applications. One of them was the «Earth Fortune», and he was ready to put «Earth Fortune» in the AppStore, so he asked his parents to pay a fee of 99 dollars so he can put their applications in the AppStore. They agreed, and now his apps are sold in the AppStore.He supported the family, friends, teachers and even the people in the stores Apple. It helped him a lot.He was heavily inspired by Steve Jobs, and he had organized a club at school applications. One school teacher kindly sponsoring his club. Any student in his school can come and learn how to create an application. So he was sharing his experience with others. There is a program called «iPad Pilot Program». Some districts were using it, and he was fortunate to live in one of them. An important question - how to use iPads and what applications we need to install them?They get feedback from the teachers in the school to see what applications they would like. When they create an application on sale, it's free for local areas, and in other parts of the money goes to local education funds.These days, students usually know a bit more about the technology than the teachers.So this is a resource for teachers, and they need to see this resource and use it. First, he wants to create more applications and games. Now he is working with a private company in the production of applications.He wants to develop for Android, he wants to continue his club applications, and find other ways for students to share knowledge.
This video was very interesting so I would advise all my friends to watch this great video!
Next video is called "Legos for grownups".This video was about lego blocks.The host was Hillel Cooperman.The video was very interesting and very informative.
ReplyDeleteWhen Hillel Cooperman isn't running his startup or seeking out the world's best food,he is investigatig the secret underground world of Lego toys.
Lego blocks:playtime mainstay for industrious kids,obsession for many mature adults.Hillel Cooperman takes us on a trip through the beloved bricks' colorful,sometimes oddball grownup subculture,featuring CAD,open-source robotics and a little adult behavior.
This video was really interesting and I would advise all my friends to watch this inspiring,innformative and of course interesting video.This was my last TED talk.Done all the bloggings :)
Hi!!! My ted is about climbing everest.We know that everest is a highest mountain in the world.And one day Teds workers said that who can climb everest all and they must cry XTeds and it is good.For example thy want to go their one more time.Nate Mook and Eiso Vaandrager are that climbers and they want to do that one more tima in Ararat mountain in Armenia with UNICEF Armenia and USAID in Armenia and also USAAA.That are corporations.And i also can climb that mountain and i climed at aragats moutain.
ReplyDeleteMy ted is about Education and 7 talks about it.And i know that in Armenia Education is good and no good 50:50.I think that.And education is a thing
ReplyDeletethat everyone must have and if you don't have education you can't find work or another thing.AND FIRST talk is talken by Dan Meyer: Math class needs a makeover.A high-school math teacher, Dan Meyer says the experience of teaching within the set curriculum is like “[selling] a product to a market that doesn’t want it, but is forced by law to buy it.” His students don’t learn how to retain information, but instead, how to decode a textbook. The key, for him, lies in trusting in students’ ability to problem-solve. In this talk from TEDxNYED, he imagines lessons where kids are involved in the formulation of problems.then Mae Jemison on teaching arts and sciences together.At TED2002, astronaut and designer Mae Jemison points out a false dichotomy: that the arts and sciences are mutually exclusive. In this outdated view, students are either creative or logical. Instead, she says, students need to be treated as both — because their curiosity often leads them to design and physics. Analysis, ingenuity and imagination all stem from our inclination towards creativity, she says.Then is Liz Coleman’s call to reinvent liberal arts education
The president of Bennington College, Liz Coleman posits at TED2009 that modern liberal arts education pushes students towards a single discipline with an exclusive viewpoint with an aversion to social values. Coleman emphasizes that the responsibility of academics is to empower students instead of deflate them. She stresses the importance of action and self-driven education, and how with them a new liberal arts can emerge.Next is Shimon Schocken: The self-organizing computer course
In this talk from TEDGlobal 2012, computer science professor Shimon Schocken shares the idea that educators don’t necessarily need to actively teach, but instead can provide an environment for self-learning. In his lessons, he gives his students the tools and guidance to build a computer from the bottom up, giving them ownership over their learning. Seeing the success of this model, Schocken then open-sourced the course online – and saw it take on a life of its own.Another is Geoff Mulgan: A short intro to the Studio School
Faced with droves of uninspired dropouts and employers who complained about the new generation’s lack of experience, Geoff Mulgan asked, “What kind of school would have teenagers fighting to get in, not fighting to stay out?” At TEDGlobal 2011, he shares his findings — the simple idea that you learn by working. Thus, the Studio School was created, with pupils getting real world experience in business and the trades, while they contribute to their communities.Then Tyler DeWitt: Hey science teachers – make it fun
High school science teacher Tyler DeWitt had a scary classroom moment – he walked into school excited for a lesson on bacterua, only to find that his class hasn’t understood a lick of the assigned reading. At TEDxBeaconStreet, he calls for science teachers to rethink their lesson plans and ask: do they involve a lot of jargon? Are they so precise that they keep students from getting the basic concepts? More than anything, he asks teachers not to lean on textbooks but to find ways to make science pop to life.
Thank you!!!

ReplyDeleteErik Brynjolfsson, the host of this TED talk, speaks about human work, machines' work, and humans' work with the machines'. The title is "The key to growth? Race with the machines."
120 years ago, American factories were electrified and electricity replaced steam engines, but it didn't change the productivity of the factories for 30 years, long enough for alot of managers to retire. The thing is, the managers didn't redesign the factories to take advantage of electricity's flexibility. The next generation invented new work process which made the productivity soar, doubling or even tripling it. Electricity is an example of General Purpose Technology, which was steam engines in the older days. General Purpose Technology drive most of the economic growth, because they unleash cascades of innovations like lightbulbs. Nowadays' General Purpose Technology is the computer, of course. "But technology isn't enough, it's not our destiny", Erik says, "We shape our destiny." We should reinvent our factories like the old ones. But because of technology, humans don't work much, and their salaries and incomes are decreasing.
The New Machine age, as Erik calls it, is digital, exponential and combinatorial. Digital means the goods you get are high quality, nearly zero cost, and you receive them almost instantly. Exponential means technology gets better faster than anything ever. For example, a PlayStation is more effective than a super military computer from 1996. Combinatorial, because the ideas are used up, and each innovation being used up is a building block for more innovations.
The problem here is, we create intelligent and effective technology which leaves people without any work. Technology races ahead, leaving more and more people behind. Technology replaces humans in all industries and more people are now jobless. Some people are rich or fine on their money, but the others have no jobs, completely. People race AGAINST the machine, most of them lose. To make some shared prosperity, instead of racing AGAINST the machine, we have to race WITH the machine. That's The Grand Challenge of the humanity. For example, machines beat human grandmasters with their systems, but Kasparov, who lost to a machine, organised a freestyle tournament, teams which include both humans and computers. The winning team has neither a grandmaster nor a supercomputer, they have just winning teamwork.
Technology isn't our destiny, we shape our destiny. Race WITH the machine. Thank you for reading.
Hi.My last Ted is about Memory games.And Ted workrs said that Memory games is good and another part said that it is bad, and i don't know which is true or false.Memory games are good for memory and for anything in the world said t Scott Fraser.And this he wrote in the Internet.And in Facebook,Twitter,Yahoo,Gmail etc.
ReplyDeleteBUT Daniel Kahneman thought taht with radio he can speak and radio id more popular than Interner thought he.And i don't what is more popular.
AND To close the show, writer and US Memory Champion Joshua Foer.He is a writer and he is a POPULAR. These striking images give him something notable to associate with an ordinary memory. This practice has been used by memory champions as far back as Ancient Greece, and anyone can use this tool. If you want to have good memory, says Foer, all you need to do is practice.
Goodbye.
Thank you Miss Adelina and my friends.

Hi friends!!! My next ted is called “Underwater astonishment”. The announcer is David Gallo. In this ted he shows some really amazing videos about sea and talk about underwater life.
ReplyDeleteAnyone that had a lovely opportunity to go on a dive to the deep sea knows that two and half hours after dipping, there comes a really quite dark world. And in that world you will see creatures that you can’t even describe; you will see the world of bioluminescence, calamari, squid, cuttlefish and some other astonishing animals.
David Gallo started his speech with description of bioluminescence. This is like fireflies. But according to the video sometimes it looks like a turkey flying under the water. These animals use bioluminescence to avoid being eaten, or to attract prey. Also some of the colors on them are designed to hypnotize. Anyway every single dive and any of bioluminescence individually are amazing.
The next he said that this is unknown world. And what is the most surprising we have only exploded 3 percent of what’s out there in the ocean. There is still 97 percent, and either that 97 percent is just empty or full of surprises.
Then he presented squids. In the video was shown how male squids fight for females. When they are fighting and they are aggressive, males become white. And when one of the males wins, it tries to do everything for keeping off the other males from the female….
The next was cuttlefish. This animal has droopy little eyes, but can do pretty amazing things, too. It can change the color of the body to disappear right into the background. And the patterns that they do on their body look pretty cute.
And the last animal, in my opinion is the most amazing. I was really surprised. I am talking about octopus. Of course I listened about these animal many things and saw it in many TV programs, but I did not know that octopuses are like chameleons. In the video was shown the moment when octopus was near coral reef. Suddenly Roger, the man who was shooting, spooked this poor animal and in just 3 seconds it changed the color and texture and became like the coral reef near him. It was really marvelous when octopus changed colors.
I like this ted very much. It was really interesting, especially the part with octopus. So I would advice my friends to watch this video.
The next ted is about icebergs. In this ted announcer Camille Seaman tries to discover for viewers all the beauty of icebergs and to present all the feelings that she got being near icebergs. In her works she tries to articulate that humans are not separated from nature and that everything is interconnected in this world.
ReplyDeleteCamille Seaman went to Antarctica almost 10 years ago, and when she first saw icebergs she could not breathe. It was amazing, astonishing. The icebergs around her were almost 200 feet out of water and she could not believe that this was one snowflake on top of another snowflake, year after year.
In the middle of her speech Camille started to explain what the icebergs are. Icebergs are born when they separate from glaciers or break off of ice shelves. Each iceberg has its own individual personality. Each of them interacts with the environment in a different way. Some of them refuse to give up and hold on to the bitter end while others can’t continue like that anymore and crumble. When you look at icebergs you often think that they are isolated, they are alone. But the reality is far from it. While the iceberg melts, we can breathe in its ancient atmosphere. As it melts, it is releasing mineral-rich fresh water that contains many forms of life.
The remarkable thing is that Camille approaches photographing these icebergs as if she is making portraits of her ancestors, knowing that in these individual moments they existed. Moreover, when icebergs melt, it is not a death; it is not the end, but the continuation of their way through the cycle of the life.
In the last photo she presents a very unique iceberg which she captured in Qeqertarsuaq, Greenland. From the pictures we can see that the iceberg is rolling. It is a very rare occasion when you are being the witness of such a phenomenon. That is an average-size Greenlandic iceberg and it’s about 120 feet above the water.
Thank you for attention!!!
My 8th TED talk was short, but it had a point. The name is "Judy MacDonald Johnston: Prepare for a good end of life." Judy says that she helped 2 friends have the death they wanted in the last few years. Jim and Shirley Modini spent their years of marriage in their ranch. She met Jim and Shirley in their 80s, they were a couple which decided not to have kids. Judy became their friend, trustee and medical advocate, but more importantly, she managed their death experiences. In the ends, they faced cancers and different illnesses. What she found is that the right plan and the right people, the quality of life can remain high while the independence and body functions are going to zero.
ReplyDeleteThe Beginning of the End was the time to tie loose ends, and Jim and Shirley chose ACR nature preserves to take their ranch over when they die. This was the peace of mind to advance.
It might be either a diagnosis or your intuition, but some day you will say "This is going to get me." The Modinis spent that time informing their friends that they will die sooner or later and that they were fine with it.
The last days came. Jim died first, he was conscious until the very end. He couldn't talk the last day, Judy just told him they will look after Shirley.
From that experience Judy shares 5 practices and has published worksheets online. The 1st part is making a plan. Most people say "I'd like to die at home", but almost everyone is dying in hospitals, so this is not an option. Others say "Just shoot me", but that's illegal-not an option again. You have to answer direct questions about where, how do you want to die. For that, you need advocates, which is the 2nd part. People usually choose their children or other relatives, but it's better to choose someone with lots of time and proximity, who can work with an everchanging situation. For the 3rd part, you have to be hospital-ready, it's critical. Prepare a page of your medical history and things important as that and you're fine. But before dying in the hospital, you have to be looked after, the 4th part is about finding caregivers. Either you're going for an elder care community or dying at home, do not settle. Judy went through alot of right and wrong caregivers, and made a team led by Marsha, who won't let you win at bingo just because you're dying. The last part is discussing last words. Judy says that in her experience, it's good to hear that everything will be fine here and everything will be looked after.
This interesting, yet short and abit boring talk really had a point. The website of the worksheets is goodendoflife.com. Thank you for reading.
The next ted is about nanotechnology spray. In this video Mark Shaw demonstrates how waterproof materials are made with the help of that nanotechnology spray which is called “Ultra-Ever dry”. That spray can be applied to almost any material. When you apply it to the material it turns into a super hydrophobic shield. After saying this Mark Shaw took a cinder block and a part of it covered with the spray. Then he poured water on the surface of the block. So the part which was not covered with spray absorbed water, but the other-covered part did not. Then he showed another example. He took a pair of gloves and coated one of the gloves with the spray. When the gloves were in the water, both of them were wet. But when he took them out of the water the coated one was dry.
ReplyDeleteWith nanotechnology and nanoscience we have an opportunity to investigate atoms and molecules and even use them for great benefits. But these particles are really very small. To imagine how small they are we can just say that one nanometer, which is used to measure the size of nanotechnology, is a billionth of the meter. And if you had a nanoparticle that was one nanometer thick, and you put it side by side, and you had 50,000 of them, you'd be the width of a human hair. So these particles are very small, but the same time so useful.
Moreover, it is not just water that this spray works with. There are a lot of other water-based materials like paint, mud also some oils.
During other demonstration Mark Shaw took a pane of glass and framed it with the nanotechnology spray. Then he poured green colored water inside the middle of the glass. If the glass had not been framed with the spray water would be spread out on glass as it is normal. But in that case when water hit the coating, it stopped. It is that afraid of water.
And what is the most remarkable we can use this spray in many aspects of our life. The applications in a general sense could be anything that's anti-wetting. It could be even anti-corrosion, as no water-no corrosion. It could be antibacterial, as without water bacteria won’t survive.
And at the end of the video he performed the last example. Using the nanotechnology spray he wrote the name “TED” with water-based red color on white surface. It was very beautiful.
Thank you for your attention!!!
In my 5th TED neuroscientist and inventor Christopher deCharms demonstrates a new way to use MRI to show brain activity-thoughts, emotions, pain, while it is happening. He says that soon we will be able to look inside our brain and control hundreds of brain areas.
ReplyDeletePeople have wanted to look inside the human mind and human brain for thousand years, but they could not as they did not have technologies. But now, for our generation it is possible to do that. People imagine that it is very difficult to do that. Sometimes we even imagine that it is like to take a space ship, to make it smaller and inject it into our bloodstream. It will be extremely dangerous, as we can be attacked by white blood cells in arteries. But now, with technologies we do not have to use any spaceship.
After this he introduces his colleague Peter’s brain. Without using any injection and radiation, using just MRI he investigates Peter’s brain and mind. When Peter changes the position of any part of his body, Christopher can see it on display. But the question is that all this we could see even years ago, using scanners.
So what new opportunities does MRI give us today? NOW the process of brain research instead of taking weeks or months takes just milliseconds. SO now for example Peter can look at his brain in real time as he's inside the scanner. He can look at these 65,000 points of activation per second. And if he can see this pattern in his own brain, he can learn how to control it.
There have been three ways to impact the brain: pills, knife and therapist’s coach. But MRI is the forth alternative way to control our minds. Using this method we can do anything with our body, which we could not before. For example now people with chronic pain can see and control their brain. As they control their brain they can control their pain too.
At the end of the video Christopher deCharms marks that this is not “Matrix”. Only we can do this to ourselves. We can control our brains. We will be able to look at the aspects of our brain which make us ourselves, all our experiences. So we are the first generation that's going to be able to enter into, using this technology, the human mind and brain. But is that as good as we think?
This TED is interesting, but I can’t imagine how MRI works. I just can’t understand how we can control our minds, our action and even pain.
Thank you for your attention and time :D !!
The next TED is called “The magic of truth and lies”. In this video using three iPods like magical goods, Marco Tempest a clever, surprisingly genuine meditation on truth and lies, art and emotions. In the video he shows an application on which he has been working for a long time. That application synchronizes videos across multiple screens of mobile devices. So using that application and 3 iPods he tells a little bit about his favorite subject: deception.
ReplyDeleteAs additional information Marco says that one of his favorite magicians Karl Germain had this wonderful trick where a rosebush would bloom right in front of your eyes. And once, when Marco asked him about deceptions, Karl Germain answered that MAGIC IS THE ONLY HONEST PROFESSION. A MAGICIAN PROMISES TO DECEIVE YOU –AND HE DOES.
After this Marco says that likes to think of himself as an honest magician, but sometimes he uses a lot of tricks, which means that he has to lie. And he feels bad about it. But people lie every day, even if they do not have to.
And after this he brings some examples of how people lie every day and every hour.
Deception is an important part of our life. Now polls show that men tell 2 times more lies than women.
People lie to show their advantages and to hide weaknesses. The Chinese general Sun Tzu said that all the wars were based on lies. The same said Oscar Wilde about romance. Sometimes we lie ourselves. It is called self-deception. That's when we convince ourselves that a lie is the truth. Compulsive gamblers are great examples of self-deception.
Than in the room “Clair de Lune” started and Marco said that the composer of it Debussy said that art was the greatest deception of all. Art is a deception that creates real emotions- a lie creates a true.
There is no doubt, that deception is not good thing. BUT sometimes it helps us to create an illusion for ourselves-an illusion which helps us to live. For example in this vast and lonely cosmos, we are so wonderfully optimistic. Our self-deception becomes a positive illusion, which again helps us TO LIVE.
During the whole video all the speech of Marco Tempest about truth and lie, art and emotions is accompanied with an amazing show of 3 IPods. I have never seen such a magic before and I can’t describe it with words. So I would advice all my friends to watch this video and to feel all the delight that I had, watching this video.
The next TED is from playlist “Did you know?” and is called “10 top time-saving tech tips”. In the video tech columnist David Pogue shares 10 simple, clever tips for computer, web, Smartphone and camera users.
ReplyDelete1.When you are on the web and you want to scroll down, do not use the scroll bar. That is a terrible waste of time. Instead, hit the space bar. Use the Shift key to scroll back up. It works in every browser on every kind of computer.
2.On the web, when you are filling in a form like addresses or something like that, use TAB to jump from one box to another. And what about pop-up menu, where you put in your state, there is no need to open that menu. Just type the first name of your state over and over in the box. For example C, C, C for Connecticut. T, T for Texas and etc.
3.Again on the web when the letters of the text which you read are too small, just press Ctrl and then +++. You make the text bigger with each tap. And use Ctrl and --- to make the text smaller. This tip also works on any computer. Just if you are on the Mac, it can be Command instead of Ctrl.
4.When you're typing on your Blackberry, Android, iPhone, there is no need to switch layouts to the punctuation layout to hit the period and then a space and then try to capitalize the next letter. Just press the space bar twice and your phone will put the period, space or capital letter instead of you.
5.This tip is also about cell phones. If you want to redial somebody that you've dialed before, all you have to do is hit the call button, and it puts the last phone number into the box for you, so you don't need to go into the recent calls list.
6.This tip will be very useful when you call and leave a message on your voicemail and when you have to listen to the sound saying: “Leave a message" and after that 15 seconds of instructions. So if you do not want to listen to those instructions you just need to use a special keyboard shortcut.
7.Most of us think that Google is something which lets us to find websites. BUT it is also a dictionary. Type any word that you want and Google will show you the definition. And there is no need to click anything. Google is also a complete FAA database. Type the name of the airline and the flight and it will show you where the flight is, the gate, the terminal, how long till it lands. And no need to use any app for this. Google is also a unit and currency conversation.
8.The next tip is about highlights. When you want to highlight a word, don't waste your life dragging across it with the mouse jus double click the word.
9.Shutter lag is the time between your pressing the shutter button and the moment the camera actually snaps. It's extremely frustrating on any camera under 1,000 dollars. But if you pre-focus with a half-press, leave your finger down, no shutter lag. You will get it every time.
10.And the last one will be useful for presenters. Sometimes when someone is giving a talk, for some reasons audience looks at the slides instead of that person. So when that happens, all that you do is to press B from keyboard to black out the slides or W to unblank them. This tip works in Keynote, PowerPoint and in many other programs.
So these are the 10 technology tips for time-saving that David Pogue presented in the video. What about my opinion: this video is absolutely not interesting. All the tips that David presents in the video are very primitive. Almost all computer users know about these tips. And for example it is not a terrible waste of time, if you use Scroll bar instead of pressing Space or Shift.
In this TED talk announcer Renny Gleeson helps to understand what “404 page not found” actually is.
ReplyDeleteThe 404 is broken experience on the Web. It's the default page when you ask a website for something and it can't find it. And after that it shows you the 404 page. It's a feeling of being broken when you go through it. And it is really annoying.
Sometimes we think about things such as where does 404 actually come from, why exactly 404, not for example 500 or 608.
404 from a group of errors actually -- a whole set of relationship errors, like in family.
But it is everywhere. 404 is in both big and small sites. This is a global phenomenon.
Renny Gleeson headed up a technology incubator to find out 404 come from and they had eight startups sitting around there. But they did not find anything until Athletepath, a website that focuses on services for extreme athletes, found a video, which they inserted in their 404 page and it was like a light bulb went off forwhere everybody in the place. Because finally there was a page that actually felt like what it felt like to hit a 404.
So this turned into a contest. For example Dailypath that offers inspiration put inspiration on their 404 page. It turned into a 24-hour contest. At 4:04 the next day, Gleeson’s team gave out $404 in cash. And what they learned was that those little things, done right, actually matter, and that well-designed moments can build brands. 404 is an error page, but what if this error page was also an opportunity?
So it was a moment in time where all of these startups had to sit and think about what they could be. Because what they figured out from this exercise was that a simple mistake can tell people what you're not, or it can remind them of why they should love you.
Thank you for your attention!!!
Of course paved roads are nice to look at, but they’re easily damaged and costly to repair. In the video which I have watched Erik Schlangen demonstrates a new type of porous asphalt made of simple materials with an astonishing feature. When it is damaged it can be “healed” by using heating.
ReplyDeletePorous asphalt now is used in most of the highways in the Netherlands, it has pores and water can just rain through it, so it will be easy to drive on such a road, because there will not be any splash water anymore. Also the noise will disappear in these pores, so it will be also very silent road.
Of course this road has both advantages and disadvantages. And the disadvantage of this road is that raveling can occur. Because of that the windshield can be damaged and potholes can appear.
But due to many experiments there is a solution for this problem. To solve this problem we just need self-healing material like a steel wool, which will be mixed to the bitumen and also an induction machine, for cooking this asphalt.
When this asphalt is read what you need to do is to heat up the steal. Because of this bitumen will be melting, will flow into the micro-cracks and the little stones will again be fixed to the surface.
Erik Schlangen’s group showed this asphalt to the government and got a permission to do some experiments on A58 road. And the results of that experiment were great, as there were not any damages during 4 years.
At the end of the video Erik Schlangen showed how that type of asphalt works. He took two pieces of that asphalt, heated them in microwave and then joined them. The result was amazing.
This TED is my favorite. It is about Ludwick Marishane and about how he created Drybath. Ludwick Marishane grew up in a little town called Mototema, which is on the bordered of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. In that city water and electricity supply are as unpredictable as the weather and growing in tough situations is of course very hard. Once when Ludwick was relaxing with his friends under the Sun, one of his friends asked if there was somebody who invented something using which there was no need to have a bathe.
ReplyDeleteAfter that question Ludwick went home and did some researches, results of which were shocking. According to the results NOW 2.5 billion people on the Earth do not have proper access to water and sanitation. 450 million of them are in Africa. Because of this various diseases thrive in the environment and the most dangerous is called trachoma. Trachoma is an infection of an eye due to dirt getting into the eye. Sometimes results of trachoma can be tragic, as it can leave people permanently blind. This infection leaves blind 8 million people each year. The most shocking fact about this infection is that for treating it we need just clean water: nor injection neither medicine.
Exactly these shocking statistics mad him to create Drybath. On his Nokia 6234 cell phone he did researches in Google about lotions, creams, the composition and the toxicities. So after many researches he got the formula. But he needed to get it into practice. And after having written a 40 page business plan he became the youngest patent-holder in the country. AND… no more bathing-nothing to add any more!!! He had invented Drybath, The world’s first bath-substituting lotion. You just put it on your skin and there is no need to bathe.
Now Drybath is available in markets. It is important that Ludwick did everything for poor people being able to buy Drybath. Now even rich children want to buy this lotion. Anyway, now using Drybath we can save 80 million liters of water on average.
After having such a big success, they made such a motto for themselves: CLEANLINESS AND CONVENIENCE. DryBath is a rich man's convenience and a poor man's lifesaver.
A year ago Google named Ludwick Marishane as one of the brightest minds in the world. He is also currently the best student entrepreneur in the world. And the one thing that always puzzles Ludwick is that just because he did not want to bathe. And the most amazing thing is that on the gravel roads of Limpopo, having just 50 rand a week, he came up with a way for the world not to bathe. SO WHAT IS STOPPING US???
This is my last reflection of TED talk and I am as happy about it as sad. I WILL MISS YOU ALL VERY, VERY MUCH GUYS, com11, the buffet, AUA at all and of course DEAR MISS ADELINA!!!
