i am sooo in love with music.....

what music means to me

Music is an expression that uses the sense of hearing and feeling. From Classical to Hip Hop there is no doubt that the culture of the society directly reflects its music. We see this through jimmy Hendrix, and in hip hop. music today inspires listeners to be more superficial.I wonder if there is such a thing as a good addiction, because I am addicted to music. Without music, my day is completely empty and boring. I wake up to music, I go to school listening to music. in my opinion music calms me down when i am upset about things that are not going right for me sometimes. After listening to music it calms me up for example when am broken hearted i listen to beyonce and Adele they help me to go through what am facing and it brightness my day. Calms me up means to bring happiness and bring back memories I have been able to relate to the kind of songs am listening to. Some times there are parts of the songs or tunes in a song that will make me think about the sad times in my life. since i was young i have always wanted to be a singer,to come

up with music that will impact people in there lives. Music has been around for centuries. People have always been drawn to music for variety of reasons, but mainly because of the way music makes them feel. Whether a person is feeling happy or sad, frustrated or confused, even alone, music is always there, its a constant in a person’s life that he or she can relate to. The opportunity to play music was introduced to me in the fourth grade. When it presented itself I decided to take a chance and try it out. Right away I was taken in by the music. I enjoyed what we were playing and how it sounded. right now am in the school choir and am planning to do my album by the end of this year... mainly my songs are targeted for teenagers and the youth! in my life i have always wanted my music to impact people in there lives in so many different ways.

music has opened so many different doors for me like signing in the Kenya music festival and also i sang for his highness prince aga khan. i am looking forward in doing more collaboration with different musician in Kenya to build my talent and see the areas i need to improve on my singing!

marine vessels!!!

marine vessels!!!

marine vessels is a water craft design to move across waters.

they so many types of marine vessels

cargo ship, passenger vessels, commercial vessel, fishing vessels these are four types of marine vessels used for diffrent types of work.

cargo ship is usde to carries cargo, goods, and materials from one port to another.

A passenger ship is a ship whose primary function is to carry passengers and their goods only.

a commercial vessels are engaged in commercial trade or that carries passengers for hire. this would exclude pleasure craft that do not carry passengers for hire or warships.

fishing vessels is a boat or ship used to catch fish in the sea, or on a lake or river only.

hulls design!!

1. flat

2.deep vee

3.hydroplane

4. shallow vee

when we were doing the vessels we decided to do the deep vee because it would be easy for the boat to move fast in the water.

With the shallow Vee hull boats, the propeller has a much better chance of staying in the water.

The advantage of a shallow-vee boat is that there is less hull in contact with the water, which mean less drag. For this reason, shallow-vee rc boats are very popular as entry level racers rather than general sport boats.

the materials used were propeller,

motor,

batters,

plastic board and syrofrom.

the propulsion/force used when testing the boat was human and natural because of the bush to make it move and natural for the waves.

evalutation stage

investigation stage i think we kind of did a good job. we got a 4 because we handed in our work late, at that time there was a problem with the internet so we could not send our work. i think if we could have a collecting information for the problem, describes the problem, detailed, explains, list some requirements and also analyzing information from some acknowledged sources if we could have done this in the investigation we could have goten a higer for this stage.

design

in design we really did a good job because we followed the assessment criteria and we mark the desig then came up with a way of doing it better so that we could get the best in this stage. the things we need to improve in are we need to generate a range if practical designs each measured against the design requirements we did,justifies the design we have chosen state why we as a group chose it and why.

plan

stage was okay and we did it very well compaide to all the stage we did during this term

we need to improve in detailed, orderly step on how you would do the work, date, time, duration and lessons neened to do it, justifie any modification to the design.

create

this was the most challenging stage bacause be boat had to acording to the spec, hull we decided to do for the boat and also what we stated in the investigation. we need to improve in following the plan, justifies any modification made doing the work and good quality of work.

handing in the work on time and for the modification at last minture we dicidede to change a few things in the boat like the hulls and so many other things.

abortion is a crime in Kenya!!!

abortion is a crime,it's a crime!!!

why do abortion!????

Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo, resulting in or caused by its death.

women and girls do abortion because may be someone can get raped and they dint plan to get pregnant.some poeple do this because of their reputation and being judged by society, Some women do this because they are not ready to have a child or cant financially take care of a baby, Young girls have them because their family would disown them or it would embarass the family some woman dont want more kids!!!

Why Christians are against abortion:
Christians oppose the deliberate killing of the unborn baby when the mother's life is not in danger. Some pregnant women or girls have their unborn babies killed because they don't want the responsibility of looking after their child. Or they think that if the child lives they will have to give up their career.
Different ways of abortion

· Amniotic sac golf
· Embryo
· Uterine lining
· Speculum
· Vacurette
· Attached to a suction pump

Women do abortion because of so many reasons here are some of them:

· Most abortions are done on women under the age of 25.
· Most women seeking abortions are unmarried
· Many are poor and dont have money to rise the child also they are still in school and want to learn and became someone in the communty and help poeple who are in need!!

In the draft law says that abortion will only be permitted when, in the opinion of a registered medical practitioner or when the life of the mother is in danger.

opinions on abortion!!!

Cecilia: In my opinion I think that abortion is a crime it is like committing murder to Gods and to people’s eyes and one of the biggest problem that the government of kenya will make on the new constitution will be a bad idea abortion has brought death to many people and cost a lot of lives in Kenya it is not recommend for women or girls.
It may spoil someone’s life and it may cause women not to have kids in the future and this is why I think abortion is not good.

Sydney: according to me people should never kill a child its like murdering, it takes a strong person to keep a child and people will respect that person even if they didn’t want the child they can keep him/her up for adoption and give it a chance at life instead of taking life away they should not kill an innocent baby it would be horrible ! !

my opinion :

Abortion is exactly murder. It is killing a human being. That's wrong. If people don't get to keep that baby, they will never know what they could have had. They would miss out on a lot. Stop abortions for good because it’s not good for your body and others. Life was given to you, so why not give life to someone who deserves it! Maybe that child can be of use in the future!!! My stand is no!! What’s yours…?

thank you!!

please comment...

advantages and problems of using social networking..

advantages and problems when using social networking.

only social networking sites offer internet users with a search directory that you can use to locate particular individuals or groups.

starting a discussion is not difficult with social networking sites compared to other websites.

successful online business is being visible to other people outside your network.

Make sure that the profile you created will be interesting for the readers. Also, you should make it personalized by adding interesting articles, images, videos and even reviews of your products.

one problem of social networking of that you won't be dont well in school because your mind will be thinking about Facebook, Myspace, mns,youtube and so many other social networking sites and you will lose focus in school.
