Status Bubbles

 344
I think the status bubble should have your first name only because then people don't know your last name. Not your age because its not nice to ask a lady her age and people may take advantage of people age. Yes to relationship status because then people can see if your in a relationship or not.
I would have the mood thing as well to so people can see your mood if your in a good mood or a bad. I would only have the medical information come up when your being seen by a doctor , Ambulance officer or at the hospital. I would also put up Education saying if you were in University, Collage, Intermediate or Primary and what year you are in. I would put in the skills so people an see what you are good at and if you can see if the share some of the same likings as you.

I would also have like a message and video chat thing installed in the status bubble so you can chat to people.

I think this would change day to day life because people would be able to see your Status Bubble and all the things on it so yo wouldn't have to ask people stuff that you can see on the Status Bubble.

I think I would like this because you can see what people mood are and if there in a relationship or not and chat with people with thought i think it would be cool

Girl College Orientation

Today we went to girls college for an orientation. We met the big four who consist of the head girl (Ana Morris) deputy head girl (Rose Barker), sports coordinator (Naomi Stewart) and arts director (Pip Artus). We met our deans Miss Valentine and Mr Chapman. The school was massive and I totally knew that I was going to get lost on the first day. I really looking forward to Drama cause all of my friends say that I'm really dramatic and I'm also looking forward to the canteen. We had to make sure all our information was right and we had to fill out a sheet of paper that said our name and date and what we are looking forward to and what we wanted to learn or discover by the end of college, then apparently it goes into a capsule and then at the end of our college years they take it out and we can see what we wrote before we were even at college. It was really interesting and cool to see what college I'm going to next year.

more serious

1. What your group did well?
I think we worked well together and we all had a good time recording.

2. What would YOU do differently next time?
I would probably take my part more seriously and remember my mufti clothes so i didn't have to wear uniform

3. Based on the criteria, how would you improve your movie if we gave you time.
Maybe more back line to the story and better interview at the end. 
I don't think we need to improve Teamwork but maybe being a bit more sensible. The think the message was good. Probably could have been more dramatic but the camera angles were ok, we probably should have tried more angles but we ran out of time.  We could have talked louder and the sound could have been better but we manage to enhance it on imovie.

Teamwork
Able to work collaboratively as a team to produce a movie


Quality of message -
Life Ed theme. Shows understanding or learning from Life Ed programme


Able to use film making conventions
Camera angles, dramatic intention

Waimarino - A paddle

I slept in. Thats it, thats all to it. When one of my fellow paddles said (after I woke up) "OMG did you see that girl with the blonde hair fail or that boy with the black hair being a wuss and not going on the Tarzan Swing" I would reply with simple "No I did not". Well anyway I was rudely awakened by some other paddle. I was about to yell at them when a hand grabbed hold of me. I was jerked off the stand, I didn't mind though some people were rougher.

The girl put me in her kayak and was pushed off the dock. She paddled towards the boat on the left side of the river, she then started yelling at her friends and I suddenly realised how anti-warm the river actually was. She paddled fast and we soon rafted up, on her left side was a boy with brown hair and on her right side was a man with barley any hair at all. I must have fallen asleep again because I don't remember anything until she kneeled on her kayak then she started to stand. She looked around to make sure nobody was near her. She suddenly sat down and started paddling quite fast towards another one of her class mates, a girl. She bumped into the girls kayak the girl went over board and was thrown into the the chilly water. She cracked up laughing and she nearly fell of her kayak in the process, the girl that went over yelling "RACHEL". So I guess her name was Rachel.

When she next stood up of her kayak a different boy with brown hair raced towards her like a bullet, and at the last moment she spotted him and "tried" to sit back back. The key word here is tried, and he rammed into her full speed she fall overboard, and when she tried to get back up the kayak moved and it flipped over dragged me unwillingly with it. "COLD, COLD, COLD" I screamed in my head. Then the kayak and I were lifted onto another kayak and the procedure went about of getting the water out of the her kayak. The suddenly "Oh I got water in my kayak" was sounded and a quick "sorry" was replied.

We rafted up a couple more times then we headed back in and Rachel jumped out of her kayak. "Not again" I groaned in my head but she got back in her kayak but her friend that she had pushed out earlier wasn't so lucky so her friend held onto the back of the our kayak and the front of her kayak and we dragged her into the dock. All I could think about was hanging up in the stand and getting a good nights sleep.

Where Is the Deepest Place On Earth?


In the pacific ocean to the southeast of Japan, there is a very deep trench called the Mariana trench, and at the southern tip there is a small part called the Challenger Deep


With a measured depth of approximately 35,797 feet (10, 910.9 metres) below sea level, a journey to the bottom of the Challenger Deep is nearly seven miles (11.2654 kilometres), making it the deepest known place on Earth.


The Challenger Deep is named after a British Royal Navy ship called the HMS Challenger. The Challenger was the first ship to measure the depths of what is now known as the Challenger Deep.


The trench was measured by “sounding,” which involves dropping a very long line with a weight at the end into a body of water.


Only four descend to the challenger deep have ever been successful.

The first was in 1960 by a vessel called the Trieste. Trieste’s journey into the trench took almost five hours, while its return to the surface took three hours and 15 minutes.

The second was the in 1995 by an unmanned deep-sea robotic probe named Kaiko.

The third was took place in 2009, when the U.S. Navy sent the Nereus on an exploration. The Nereus is a hybrid remotely-operated vehicle, also known as an HROV.
The Nereus spent more than 10 hours at the bottom of the Challenger Deep, sending live video and data back to a ship at the surface.

The fourth and final was 2012 by solo-diver James Cameron in the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER.

Methamphetamine or P is potentially a very addictive drug. It belongs to a group of drugs known as 'Stimulants' and works by releasing high levels of the brain chemical dopamine, stimulating brain cells, enhancing mood and body movement.

In New Zealand it is most commonly known as P but other names include Meth, Speed, Pure, Crystal, Ice, Crystal Meth, Crank and Glass.

Methamphetamine can be snorted, smoked, injected or eaten.

The short term effects include increased alertness, paranoia, hallucinations, insomnia, loss of appetite and many more.

Long term effects can include fatal kidney and lung disorders, brain damage, depression, violent and aggressive behavior, lowered resistance to illness and weight loss.


The story of William who killed his daughter Coral.

They arrived at the South Featherston School about 8.17am. It was pouring with rain. Storm got out and ran inside but Coral refused.


Williams later told police she got cheeky to him and he "lost the plot". The police summary of evidence records that he "flew into a rage such as he had never before experienced".
From the driver's seat he reached into the back, half climbing over the seat to punch Coral repeatedly, holding her with one hand while hitting with the other.
He broke her jaw in two places, just below the right ear and on her chin. Her jawbone was protruding on the left-hand side of her face.
Her blood was everywhere, including all over his hands and her face. The autopsy concluded that the bleeding from her mouth would have been "torrential".
When Williams' rage abated, Coral was collapsed on the car floor unconscious. None of the other parents arriving with their children apparently noticed what had occurred.
In a panic Williams drove off, heading south away from town.
