Puzzle Time Activity

In Science Class we had a game called Puzzle Activity and what had Ms.Smith had gave us is
One Big peace of paper and she cut it in a lot of peace and cut it a lot of strange peace it make it really hard to put it back into write peace of paper.
And we have a lot of group with 3 people and I'm in a group with andrew and peter and at first it's hard we wanna give up but at last we try very hard and we try to find the paper that the side look the same and it make them fit togather and we find one by one and after that we fit all togather to make it in to one big peace paper. Or we did one more ideas is to bring a new big peace of paper that look the same as when you fit the small peace of paper togather and we try to fit every peace in the new big paper looks if it fit and if it fit we will put all together.

And the next class we use news paper And The Same group and same people and we used news paper it's more easy but it look like more messy that there is a lot of words and there is a lot of color in it so it makes it very hard.
And we did a different way to fit it together we first find the side and find the words and the color look that if it make's it in words and we try to fit it togather


And I think this activity is cool And Ms.Smith helped us a lot too~ After that we did a work sheet too write about the shape and how we made it.

And I learned a lot from this activity too!
I learned that we can;t give up anything because you don't even know if you have more chance to do it and if you give up to early than you will never win and if you keep trying you will think it's fun and you will also think that it's intresting and it help you learn more too~!

Facebook privacy story a beat-up

This is the news due wednesday.



Facebook's chief privacy officer has spoken out defending the company's controversial decision to change its terms of use, saying the entire story was a beat-up and Facebook never intended to use people's personal information outside of the site.

It was the latest in a series of privacy rows for the social networking site as its 175 million users wise up to the dangers of publishing their personal details on the internet through a commercial entity.

In a telephone interview, Chris Kelly said despite Facebook rolling back the changes, which gave the company "irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid worldwide license" to users' information even after they deleted their account, the social network did not believe it had done anything wrong.

Kelly said the license was only intended to cover the site against legal action under copyright law and only allowed the company to use people's photos and other information on the Facebook site and within the privacy settings chosen by each individual.

"License is different to ownership ... So the speculation about people's faces showing up on billboards or Facebook owning the photos that they uploaded was just completely false," Kelly said.

"If you had only agreed to display a photograph for instance to five users, which you can do under your Facebook privacy settings, Facebook's license only extended far enough to allow us to display that photograph to those five users."

The issue flared up after consumer advocate blog Consumerist wrote that Facebook had tweaked its terms of service to give it more control over users' information, even after a user deleted their account.

It led to thousands of news stories all over the world and many Facebook users vowed to delete their account in protest. People who attempt to delete their account today are first shown a message from the site apologising for the terms of use "mistake".

Speaking to The New York Times, Consumerist co-executive editor Ben Popken said that the original blog post had been viewed more than 580,000 times by Wednesday - the site's most popular post ever.

But Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Kelly, said the changes were only made to make the site's policies clearer to users. The clause stating that Facebook could use user information even after they deleted their account was meant to ensure messages left on friends' Facebook pages would not disappear.

Kelly said Facebook only rolled back to the former terms of service to make it clear that the site's intention was not to own users' information. People are now being invited to join the Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities group to share their thoughts on Facebook's privacy policies.

"I think we're at an interesting time in the history of the world when a lot of things that weren't recorded or captured in any form are being captured [and shared] - and people are understandably nervous about that," Kelly said.

"I think that people are by and large very concerned about online privacy and with having more control over their data and their information, and we think that's very important and we've always recognised that by investing a great deal in building an infrastructure that allows them to choose who gets to see their information, as opposed to saying either you put it up on the internet or you don't."

Rihanna's Family Opens Up About Chris Brown Arrest

This is the news that due wednesday.

Rihanna's family is opening up about the relationship between Rihanna and Chris Brown after an alleged altercation before the Grammy Awards that left Rihanna injured and Brown arrested.
One family member told People.com that Brown "flew so far under everyone's radar that we just didn't think he was that [abusive] type." The relative added that the news comes as a surprise because "he was always looking after her needs making sure she was happy."
The relative agreed with Rihanna's dad, Ronald Fenty, who thinks his superstar daughter should "move on" from the relationship. "I don't want her to go back to him," the family member said. "I don't think anyone does."

Earlier this week, Kimora Lee Simmons, who was showing her line Baby Phat during New York Fashion Week, spoke about the incident with The Associated Press, saying she saw the pair earlier in the night before news broke.

"I saw them that night ... and I think it's a very unfortunate situation," she said. "And I wish them both all the best and I send them my love and I'm very personally attached to both of them. And sometimes I think young lovers go through things and I really don't know what happened, so I wish everybody the best."

Ray J, who was at the fashion show supporting Simmons, said he and Brown are good friends and sends prayers out to the pair. "I've got a chance to hang out with them a couple of times, and, you know, they're cool people. Keep your head up," he told the AP. "You know things like this happen in life. And in life, sometimes these are the tests and obstacles that you got to overcome."
