***** VHS*****


This incredible, mysterious, all knowing machine is like no other ever to exist. Some speculate that it fell out of a big blue wooden box in the sky; others say it was god’s toy when he was a baby. Once powered on it transforms any house to replicate the White House. But this pure gold masterpiece can’t just plug into any wall or power source. To charge it, one must purchase a war tank in the future and bring it back to current time (whatever current time actually is! http://giphy.com/gifs/Es3FISPjOZzAA) and drag it across the surface of the moon 3 ¼ times. But any more or any less will cause all of the blue ray/ dvd players, iPods, and flat screen TVs to turn into teacup Chiwawas. But not with little yappy voices, instead big mean loud scary voices. The last person to own this machine never let go of it for the 89.75 years of his life. He even produced a family their kids are Home Alone, Lion King, The Goonies, The Never Ending Story, and little ole Ferngully. One cannot just decide to buy VHS, it picks you. If you’re married it will cause a divorce. You will not leave its side and it will not leave your side. It even acts like a wife. While you’re newly joined it is all perfect it cooks cleans and is nice. But after time it nags and don’t clean or cook. But by that time you will be too old to ditch it. So hold on tight if it chooses you read the handbook and always follow the direction. Be careful with the kids. It’s never fun having to untangle their long black hair once it gets everywhere. And every night rewind them before bedtime, or else the morning will be a slow and painful day.

Review of Annotated Bibliography

Annotated bibliography's are summaries and evaluations, each source is to be summarized and or evaluated. It is important to do this because it gives a good understanding of the article and its sources. For people, or teachers it helps them understand topics and students information much faster than going to each website from every citation and reading all the information. so overall it saves lots of time. Other than a teacher i don't think they would be very relevant. But are very beneficial for students as well. One must know the article very well in order to complete a good summary and evaluation.

ted talks review

One of the ted talks that stood out to me was Tristram Stuart: The global food waste scandle. It involves just about every restaurant, grocery stores, and farms. And USA is among the highest in waist. We have twice as much food on our shelves and in restaurants to feed the American population. Most rich countries have 3 to 4 times the amount of food to feed them. There is a huge barrier between rich countries and the country’s that struggle to feed their population. 40 percent of the food goes to trash and animals. 13 thousand slices of bread crusts are trashed every day in factories. And farmers throw away 3rd of their crops because of cosmetic standards. Mounds and mounds of crops that are perfectly fine but are not the right size or color.  40 to 60 percent of fish in Europe are tossed into the sea before landing. Some food waist can’t be prevented. If we start feeding pigs, and other anaerobic digesters the amount of CO2 that could be saved is 11,600 kg CO2e. Feeding the 5000 is an event that takes place in London. It is feeding 5000 people all on food that would be thrown away as waist. And is happening international event that celebrates food and our land.
