     One of my favorite restaurants is Ihop. The one I frequently  go to is located on route 17 near Hasbrouck Heights, Nj. Ihop serves a variety of foods but builds upon their specialty: Pancakes. They provide a variety of flavors of pancakes including strawberry banana, cinnamon, blueberry etc...
They also serve the classic breakfast foods and lunches as well. Such as omelettes, sandwiches and french toast. This is my favorite restaurant because it has a homey, diner feel. Their food is really good and the service is usually exceptional. If this restaurant were to close down, I would go to a nearby diner instead.

    Australian Red cross has been looking into new ways to make taking blood more efficient.
They are beginning to utilize a device that uses vein visualization technology. This projects images of the veins by using near infrared lights. The infrared is used because our veins contain a chemical that absorbs the light and in essentially makes the vein visible in green.
   With this new invention, doctors can escape from hurting patients in trying to find their vein with dreaded needles.

   

Do Now

  We should have a engineering class. It would be a great class for people who have strong interests in robotics and creating programs. It would be an after school activity starting at around 4. It would take place in the cafeteria and sustain about 25-30 kids. There, they would have several instructors to split up the students into smaller groups to work on different projects. Projects would consist of different aspects of engineering. No project would be the same amongst each group. Every Friday each group would present their respective projects to the rest of the groups.

The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit

  This is one of the most innovative and futuristic-looking pieces of technology that has ever been made. The B-2 stealth bomber is an American made aircraft that is made very slim and has a very similar look of a sting ray in its design. It hasnt been used as frequently during war because of its high price, but it is capable of carrying about 40,000 pounds of convential nuclear bombs into enemy territory

A new telescope has been innovated for further exploration into space. The "ALMA" is used to study formation of planets in a distant solar system. It will help better the understanding of the process. It is currently located in the Atacama desert in the South American continent, Chile. This large telescope is
16,500 feet tall and contains 66 dishes spaced across 16 km( 10 mi ) of the desert. The installation is uniquely suited for highly detailed images between the infrared and radio waves.
The image is of a star located about 450 light years away.

Wikis

1. We could possibly use wikis in various math based classes. People usually have  trouble or require help in Geometry and Algebra classes. Therefore wikis can help connect with friends to share information on a certain concept or if they need help on it.

2. Benefits of using a wiki in class include extra help and tutoring from fellow students.

3. I can create an account an start inputting information that i've picked up and learned. Although wikis change almost everyday, its still very helpful to input information to help peers

4.I have not had much experience with wikis. I only utilize them to obtain information for a paper in one of my classes.
