Curation is still not a word...
Remember how I talked about having a website for you about my topic...Well it took longer than I thought it would, and it's not even done yet! But anyways here is the link-
http://www.i-m.co/XDani15/Curation_Self-Defense/home.html
Please check it out!
I don't have a FAQ page yet but some of the questions that I would like to answer are:
How can you learn self defense online?
Does this really work?
How can this work for small people? Big people? Girls? Boys?
Is this even useful?
Is this practical?
I'd love it if people commented or asked questions or gave me ideas for new techniques. Right now it is the bare minimum.
People who want to learn more, please feel free to message me here on blogger (comment) or something. I'll try to get back to you asap!
I'd like to thank IMcreator for helping me make this website.
Enjoy!

Ted Project
AHHHHH!!!! This was due a LONG time ago...
I was looking through my blogs when I noticed that this blog was never posted...
Anyways, here it is.
4/9/2013
We were shown a partial presentation today by a student in my class: Emma N. She was telling us about a woman who lived in a Biosphere and was cut off completely from the rest of the world. Jane Poynter was her name. She lived in two Biospheres. The first is Earth. The other is Biosphere 2. She lived in Biosphere 2 for a total of 2 years and 20 minutes.
I thought that, that was AMAZING!!! I have always wanted to try and see what life without modern interaction would be like.
Now, she had a telephone and fun tools to help her harvest food and what not, but it was all hard work. She said in her talk that it took about four months to make a pizza. FOUR MONTHS. For one measly pizza. Now that is telling us something about our world today.
We have life easy. But life in the Biosphere 2 seems very hard. In her Biosphere, they had a miniature earth. Each section with a different environment or 'feel' to it. There was a savanna, rain forest, marsh, desert, and even a coral reef.
I believe that that is amazing. One big step for science. It really reminded me of the Disney Channel movie Zenon. That movie is all about a Biosphere on the MOON! Jane was talking about how the scientists on the team wanted to make it possible to do the same thing.
If I were to ever be able to live in such a place, even as a test, I would love to try and see how I could live. I want to be a scientist on a future project like this. I'd be the electrical (electricity) supervisor for the whole thing! That would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But not only that, I liked the way in which Emma presented the speaker. She seemed excited and always told us the interesting parts of the talk. She always connected the ideas of the speaker to things that normal students could relate.
All in all, I loved the speakers, both of them, I liked how both were excited about what they were talking about. I wish I could do something like that.
Here is the Biosphere!

Curation...isn't even a recognized word
For my Humanities class, I need to do a curation project. Curation...is not recognized by google as a proper word...neither is google apparently. Anyways I have decided to curate a website about self-defense. Or rather, how to defend yourself from an attacker with little or no damage done to yourself.
The people I hope would be interested in my type of website are people who have an interest in defense. But not only that, I'd like parents to look at this site and decide to teach their children what I am demonstrating as a defense technique. I would like to aim this site towards girls who are on the smaller side. But the techniques I will describe will work for everyone.
To some who might say "How do you know these techniques will work? What proof do you have?" I reply "I am a black belt in Shaolin Kempo and have actually used these techniques in real life and they have produced the results I've been looking for. If you don't believe me, look on my website (when I'm done) and try these out on WILLING friends."
I would love to put a link to my website on this post right now, but I can't because I'm still designing it. But as soon as it's done, I'll put the link in.
Thanks,
As for something funny...in my opinion
