Global Warming

Global warming. Is global warming real? Well, as most people see it, yes. It is real. How do we tell? Studies from numerous top-class scientists, of course! Then there are always the top class scientist that oppose the findings.For example, some leading scientists say that global warming is natural. Like when there were the ice ages. How did we get out of them? Natural global warming. Studies that have been conducted back up their response to the green scientist who show that we are in a man made global warming. It may be true, and understanding their stand point may be the hardest part. They have many supporters who believe that this man made global warming is just a hoax and that too many companies are just using this as a way to swipe money from the average joe who have become poorer because of a slow economy. Is global warming a big concern? Of course it its! Many of the leading nations have been concerned about global warming for a while now, and what have they done? Really, as a whole, they have done a minimal amount of work to solve the problem. Sure they have passed laws and other countries have encouraged green products, but the people have the power when it comes to if we are going to change. If enough people show they care, we could change the natural or man made climate changes. If we conserve what little resources that Earth can provide us with, we could make a change for the better. If we allow Earth to take it's own steps, it might as well just kill us all. Glaciers are melting. Either from man made global warming or natural global warming, there is no doubt that if the glaciers continue to melt, many will die. The sea level will rise and cover even more land. People will be forced to move out of there houses and find shelter else where. What can we do? We can make a change in our life style. Make it a point to try and save our mother Earth. I'm not saying go out there and be an extremest, I'm saying going out there and help save lives. Everyone wants to be a hero for someone. We can be the hero for our next generations. Do we want them to come into a world where there is no room to sleep, no where to go, no world to explore? Now is the time to change. Now is the time to take a stand against global warming. Even if you don't believe that it's because of us that the climates are changing, make a stand against death. Help conduct research, inform friends and family of things they can do. Make this world a better place and become that hero you always wanted to be.

Microsoft Word 2003

The Microsoft Word program is basically a big piece of paper that never runs out. There are many versions of the Microsoft word now. I will be using the Microsoft Office Word 2003 to explain the basic features. The 2003 version has 9 tabs on the top of the screen. They are; File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Tools, Table, Window, and Help. These are in order in which they should appear at the top of your screen. In the File, you will find many different tabs. They are all pretty self-explanatory. If you have used Word and have saved your pieces, some or all of them will appear at the bottom depending on how many you have saved. These are quick links to your other files. The most helpful things to know about the File tab is that the save, save as, print, and open are there. The save as brings you to a window that shows you a miniature my documents window. Here, you will be able to choose which files you save your work to and what you save it as. Hence, the name Save as. While you type, you want to save your work often. To do this you go to File- save. You do this only if you have already saved the work in save as or it will automatically bring you to the same window you see when you go to Save as. The sort cut to saving your work is Ctrl (control) -S, which stands for save. This will automatically save your work. The Print button will lead you to yet again, another screen. Here you will have to select your printer, which should already be there. If it is not there, then you will have to select Find Printer. Find the printer you are currently using in the house and select it. After that, yo will select how many copies the printer will make and which pages. The default is all pages and 1 copy. To change the page you want to print, you will go to the Page Range section and choose either Current Page or Pages__________. The current page option will print the page you are currently previewing or reading. The Pages_______, you have to specify which pages you want to print. For example: Pages 1-6.
Then you would click print. If you wanted more copies, you would go to the Copies section. Here you would type in how many copies you wanted. For example: Number of copies: 3
Then you would hit print.
The open file will bring up a window that looks identical to the Save as. Here you can select old pieces of work and bring them up into another Word Document. You would select the one you want to open and then double click. A new window should show up at the bottom of your screen. If it doesn't, wait a little while and then try again.
This concludes my lesson with the Microsoft Word Program.

Random Questions

1.Why is a backpack also called a knapsack? I mean you don't nap with it, or if you do then you nap with it on a long bus ride. But come on the name is really weird!
2.Why is the bathroom called a bathroom when most of the time there is not even a bath tub or shower in there? In addition to that, why is it called a restroom when you don't really rest in there to get more energy. These are also bizarre: water closet, powder room, lavatory, and out house. the only one that makes some sense is washroom because you wash your hands in there, so... it sort of makes sense. Sort of!
3. Why do we call soccer soccer when we don't even play with our socks? Geez, is it really that hard. I mean, the Europeans got it right and it made sense. Fotbal, it is played with our foot.

Just saying, we have some really weird named things.
If you have answers, please, and I mean PLEASE, send them in.

Earth Day

What are you doing on Earth Day? Are you going to watch T.V.? If yes, then wake up! We are going to celebrate this year's Earth by giving the Earth a break. If we all turn off the lights for one hour, then we can let the Earth take a deep breath. Submit any ideas that you may have to help our Earth take a breath on Earth day. Plant a tree, turn off the electronics that are plugged into the outlets, collect trash off the street and parks, and TURN OFF THE LIGHTS! If you do decide to let OUR Earth breath for a hour, then please leave your name and when on Earth Day you did it in the comments. I also want anything that you have done for our Earth on Earth Day. My goal is to get more then 50 people participate in this event on Earth Day. I know that Earth Hour has past, but it's Earth Day for crying out loud! Earth Hour should be on Earth Day. Sorry, just had to mention it. Please send in the things you have done or if you participate in the second Earth hour of the year.
