CONVERGENT DENTAL SOLEA

A pain free dentistry which silently works on tooth and guma and you dont need anesthesia because it doesnt cause bleeding and pain. It will impact the dentist because they arent going to be able do do much of their work, it impacts the people because they would go to the dentist more often. it will solve the problems that the kids are scared of dentist because of the pain and bleeding. I think this is a great innovation because it would help alot of people and make people go to the dentist more.

Mikaele Oloa

The excellence that Makaele Oloa achieved was being a fireknife dancer and practicing from when he was barely five and became a total holder of fireknife master at age 15. The excellence achieved was by practicing and putting all the dedication into what you really love to do and always trying to improve on yourself so that you can do it way better later on.

Reflection:

This arete excellence was incredible because he has so much pride and is really happy on what hes doing from the age of 5 to start and become that good and beat other competitors that are older and may have a little bit more experience, the lesson in life that I learned was that if you give it your best to try to achieve greatness, you will succeed and you will become better then you thought you would.

Nathan Sawaya

The excellence achieved by Nathan Sawaya was by being a great artist who builds custom three-dimensional sculptures, best known for his work with standard LEGO toy bricks. His excellence was achieved by being dedicated and loving to himself by building things he loves and loves to build thoose things. Technology might have impacted him and helped him to get a good image on how to build hose things.

Reflection:

I think that this Arete excellence is magnificent because its extremely hard to build 3 dimensional sculptures with legos and hes so happy doing that. I really like some of his work that he has done and it amazes me so much because it looks so incredible.

Innovations

Automakers have been unwilling to bet on hydrogen fuel cells, but Toyota didnt care and created the first mass-market hydrogen car. The FCV, which launches in Japan early next year and in the U.S. in late 2015, has a 300-mile range. This will impact alot of the people because they can get around cheaper and it wouldnt affect the environment. It will solve problems of paying from paying high gas prices and getting 300 mpg. I think this is a great invention because it will help the environment and will also help the people save money.

Alex Hattori

The excellence achieved was that this young teenager was earning a lot of medals from 4th place to first place in many different championships. His excellence was achieved by commiting to himself and trying his best and practicing alot so that he can become a champion. Technology could have impacted this because back in the day he wouldnt have any recordings of how to do certain tricks and where he sound improve on and now he could just go look at his previous videos on how he did those tricks and could improve them.

Reflection:

I think its a great lesson because when you want to do something that you love, you try your best give it 110% and practice a lot so that you can keep improving and later on your going to see the reults and not only think about the prize money or the trophy, do it because you love to do it. if you want to achieve excellenc you have to set goals and you have to believ in yourself that you can do it.

Blown to Bits: Chapter 2

The story describes about an incident that occurred and happened during rush hours and it led for the police to look at the camera's because at that time the UK had a great amount of camera's in different places which in that case some people thought it was to protect you, and some people thought it took away your privacy with so many camera's everywhere. Camera's are a good source to track down clues or may lead to how the people committed the crime and who did it.

Computer Science Innovations

Artificial Intelligence

Throughout the year's AI has got more advance, the most advanced motherboards, processors, and microchips must divide into different sections and categories their resources for maximum efficiency. Scientist have been trying really hard to get the AI motherboard to perform like a human brain. It will impact the people because the AI can detect the weather accurately and also help clean the environment.

Carl & Margaret Karcher

Carl and Karcher are the founders of Carl's Jr. 

This excellence was achieved when Karcher and his wife started their first business, a hot dog stand, on July 17, 1941 in Los Angeles, California when they borrowed $311 to start off their little business which later on in a couple of years started to expand into  them becoming owners of a restraunts. I really liked how they gave confidence to themselves and not giving up on their dreams of soon becoming owners or a great franchise.

 Reflection:
I really loved that even though they borrowed money to start their business together that they never gave up and that they had hope on one day being happy without worrying on working and living a great life in the future. I learned from this that if you reach for the goals that you are aiming towards, you should never give up because you will achieve your goal and even better you would want to achieve more goals that are more challenging and you you will feel very proud of yourself after it.

Floating Underwater Tunnels Planned for Norway. Driving from point A to point B typically requires points C through Z, several bridges, and a couple of ferry rides. Underwater tunnels also have the distinct advantage of keeping the waterway clear for commercial ships.
