Rights assignment

My right that I chose is the right Of Privacy.

My right exists because if people didn't have privacy then police officers could pull you over and check your vehicles or break into your home and search your house without a reason or a warrant from a judge. Also, it allows people to live the way they want to live without it effecting how people view and think of them.

what it means to exercise my right is that the government can't search or seize my property without due process of law. Also, there is FERPA which stands foe Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, and it protects the privacy of student education records

If a government official has a warrant or probable cause to search or seize my property then i can't stop them from doing so without punishment.

Those limitations exist so the government can keep America and the people within America safe.

If I had to give up my right I would want reassurance that no government official will search or seize my property without a reason to.

Today I posted the Reflecction for the final project and did research on the new project. Next time I hope to get the rest of the questions answered and posted

Middle East Conflict Questions

How did your country get involved in the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East? It got involved in the Arab-Israeli conlfict in the Middle east because Syria is apart of Arab which declared war on Israel which is border of Syria.

What is the history of your country's involvement in that conflict, from when it entered until now? (This will likely be a long answer...) It started in the 1967 with the Arab-Israeli war and in the 1990s Syria and Israel had occasional peace talks over the return of Golan Heights. On
Who are your enemies in the Middle East? Why? the death of President al-ASAD, his son, Bashar al-ASAD, was approved as president by popular referendum in July 2000. In 2005 syerian troops stationed in Lebon since 1976 in an ostensible peacekeeping role were withdrawn

Who are your friends in the Middle East? Why? Bordering countries: because they do trade

What does your country want out of the Arab-Israeli conflict? The return of Golan Heights
What is it prepared to give up to get what it wants? The fitght between their two countries
What will it not give up to get what it wants? They wont end its support for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas

Reflecction April 4 2009

What did you learn? I learned that Nicola Tesla made a lot of inventions such as car engins, man made earthquakes, death rays, and etc. Also, I learned that Tesla was a brilliant scientist that his man obsession was with magnetism because he thought that it could benifit human kind.
What was your research question? My research question was how did Nicola Tesla make his inventions
What was the answer to your research question? My answer was that for the particle beam was that he used a charged particle to make a beam like laser to shoot objects. For the teleforce he used coil and DC power to create a magnetic feild to launch objects from a tube like material.
Did your final product answer that question? Yes and no because I had difficulties explaining how they were made and what they were made for.
How? I used a laser to demonstrate the particle beam and a PVC pipe rapped in copper wire to demonstrate Teleforce.
What did you do well on the project? I think I did ok on the Teleforce model but I beleive it could've been better.
What could you have improved on the project? I could of made little notes to help remember details of Tesla and his inventions.
What would you change about what you did on the project? I would have changed what models I was going to make and pick easier ones that I wouldn't have as many complications with.
What would you change about the assignment itself? I would have changed the rule about using powerpoint becaue the powerpoint would've helped me a lot to explain everything that i needed to.
What grade do you think you deserve on the project? Why? 70 because even though I triedI didn't really explain my question and I didn't have the tesla coil like I was supposed to.

Daily progress report for march 23

today I did my final project report next time I want to have all of my materials for the project purchased

Final Presentation

My final presentation is going to be 3 models if the particle beam works out if it doesent then my final presentstion will be 2 models and a video of a particle beam. I attempted to build 2 models and purchased 1 model. The first model I attempted to make was a particle beam and since I didn't have charged particles laying around I made a smaller scale model that rflects light to burn a small whole in paper. I made this by; First buying a green laser with 5mw; Second, I took apart the laser then tightened the pot. Thats when I started running into trouble, first the pot wouldn't tighten so I had to estimate when it was at it's highest power then I didn't know how to make my type of laser heat up enough to burn through anything. So I'm going to continue to make progress and hopefuly pull through with success. My second model that I built is Tesla's teleforce invention which uses a copper wire wrapped around a tube hooked up to DC power to launch objects through a tube either into the air or straight out. My third model that I purchased is the Tesla coil. I purchased this one because it is expensive to build and because it could be dangerous as well. The Tesla coil is a couple inches big and it is supposed to use AC power (power out of the wall) to create electric waves to power objects from a distance.

I made 11 index cards and next time I hope to finish the rest of the index cards

Daily post March 3

Today I made 7 index cards and the Status Report Next time I need to make at least 8 more index cards

Status Report

What have I accomplished on my project so far? I have made 13 index cards and 9 DDPs also I have researched nicola tesla and his inventions
What do I still have left to do? I have to finish making the three models
What has been harder than I thought it would be? The particle beam
What has been easier than I thought it would be? The tesla coil
How would I do my project differently if I could start over again? Finished the index cards first
What do I need to get accomplished before Spring Break? The index cards and to get ahold of the guy who made the first mod on the laser on youtube

Daily post february 27

Today I got another index card next time I hope to find 5 more easily

Daily post february 27

Today I got another index card next time I hope to find 5 more easily

progress post february 25

today I did more research on nikola tesla and found out how to make the tesla coil. next time I would like to add at least 10 more index cards

february 15 researched how to make a model of the partical beam that tesla invented

February 13 found tesla'a partical beam

On feb. 12 I researched on the enternet about nicola tesla about his inventions

Daily progress report

Today I answered all 7 questions and worked on the laser with Mr. ziggerman

Seven Q's

1. How did Nicola Tesla create his inventions?
2. A model of Tesla's inventions
3. To give a visual image of Nicola Tesla's inventions and how he did it also to attract peoples attention
4. The final products will be a laser pen that can burn through paper, a magnetic field made of pipe and copper wire juiced by DC power (batteries), also Tesla's coil
5. demonstrates how Tesla made and showed his inventions
6.First I have to do research on why Tesla made his inventions, then how Tesla made his inventions, then with what materials, how its supposed to work, and finally how to make it safe for school use
7. I need to work on building the laser to recreate a similiar ability to a partical beam

Daily progress for february 11

I was supposed to reseach my topic more and I got a little more information but not as much as I needed. It helped me reach my final project because I was able to find the equipment I needed to build the model. The first thing I need to do tomorrow is to answer as many of the questions as I can hopefuly 4 out of the seven.
