Do Now

  The arts ignite my desire to help make the world a better place.  This could be any art: Dancing, Singing, Acting, etc.  It allows people to express feelings and show off beautiful works.  They also provide hobbies for many people, so instead of people getting into trouble they could immerse themselves in the arts.  Also different works can raise awareness for different causes.  For example; this year at The Vibe XX Dance Competition, A crew named Cookies took the first place spot.  Their choreography brought awareness to the increasing number of orphaned children around the world.

Last year Rachio, came out with the newest "smart sprinkler".  Instead of hooking up to a control box the sprinkler hooks up to wifi.  Then they can be controlled by smartphones and tablets.  With new updates the sprinkler saves even more water.  The control center on your device can tell if its going to rain or has already rained, this prevents the system from wasting water.  This system can save someone up to 30% in water bills.

  Pizza Hut has created a brand new app for their customers.  No one will ever have to say the words "Where's my pizza?" again.  Creators call this new app the 'Pizza Navigation System'.  It will give people the ability to track the location of their delivery persons vehicle.  It also displays a picture of the delivery guy or girl, so you know who to expect at the door.

New Class

        I would like to add a photography class to our school curriculum.  The class would learn about different types of cameras, lenses, and editing softwares and techniques.  The students would take lots of different pictures and display their works to the class. They would also explain to their classmates how they took and edited their pictures.
        The class would be an elective choice for students when making their schedules.  We would go on many field trips to different places to take pictures.  Students could also contribute many new ideas for lesson plans and so on.  This class would be a great addition to our curriculum.

     Tattooed wrists can prevent the Apple Watch from functioning properly.  According to some customers the watch's heart rate sensor does not work on their tattooed wrists.  The heart rate sensor determines whether or not you're wearing it.  Because of this issue you might not be able to use Apple play,  receive notifications, and place calls. The device does not work because in order to monitor your heartbeat it flashes green and infrared lights. Both of these lights need to be absorbed by the skin to work. Solid colored tattoos absorb the green lights and reflect the red lights, which means the sensor cannot function properly.
