Rainbows!

A rainbow is the most beautiful spectrum to see on earth. The rainbow is full of seven colors, also know as "Roy G Biv," which stands for, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. But how exactly are rainbows formed? Like a lab we did in science class, we held up a prism to the light in a dark room and saw rainbows. This true because the white light separates the color spectrum so we can see it. The light can be reflected and bent. After it rains, there are many water droplets in the sky. When the sun reaches a droplet, the droplet acts as a prism. Each droplet separates the seven color all at the same time as well as all the bending and reflecting. The famous man who discovered this is Isaac Newton. Try a cool experiment, on a sunny day hang bunch of prisms from the ceiling and then open the curtains. You should be able to see many different rainbows in the room, this idea works best in a sun room where there are a lot of windows.

The Inauguration!

The inauguration means a new beginning, in this case our first African- American president of the United States. The inauguration this year was a ceremony to officially make Barack Obama president and Joe Biden vice president. Not only is this a big day for Obama but a big step in making a change to our country. The day began with a parade, followed by Biden and Obama taking the oath, and later on Obama and Biden giving a speech. http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/stateupdates/gGxHZR(take a look at Obama's speech). The inauguration is significant because it is the start of a new era, a change in the way our country runs.

The first article talks about the parade from US Capitol Building to the White House. There were re-enactors from the black Civil War regiment; World War II's surviving Tuskegee Airmen; Freedom Riders from the civil rights movement, they all marched. There were 13,000 participates in the parade from all 50 states. A few minutes into the parade, Obama and Biden's family got out of the car and walked part of the way.

The second article, "Obama tackles recession, war and ethics on day one," was about the stands and changes Obama is performing and changes he will make. Obama gets straight to work, dealing with war and recession and ordered new ethics rules for "a clean break from business as usual,"Obama contacts Mideast leaders as well. Obama also plans on closing Guantanamo Bay within a year. "The way to make government responsible is to hold it accountable," Obama says. For filling promises he made during the election, he said the action was necessary",to help restore that faith in government without which we cannot deliver the changes we were sent here to make."

Looking at the impressive hard work Obama is doing on his first day and his inspiring speech, I feel he will show to be the man we all voted for. A man who can turn our economy around and makes this a better, more safer, place to live.

100 HD movies on a STAMP -SIZED CHIP?!

For the first time ever people will be able to buy a stamp-sized chip, called SDXC memory card, that has a TWO TERABYTE CAPACITY(1,000 gigabytes)!!!!! This chip will be able to hold 100 high-definition movies, 480 hours of professional quality audio recording or 136,000 fine-mode photos!!! The SDXC is being planned to be released in five years according to SD Association, although their first new product will be an SDHC. The SDCH like the SDXC is quiet similar, although the SDHC will only be compatible for only 64 gigabytes. But that's not all the SDXC has, this chip will also be able to be used to retrieve any of this on devices, such as moblie, camera or camcorder. "The SD interface already has proven itself valuable in mobile phones. Now, SDXC memory card capabilities will spur further handset sophistication and boost consumer content demand," Taylor said. Hopefully the new product we await for in the following years will be a the next hot item in the market.
