The future of flying robots

I was looking on a TED Talk by guy named: Vijay Kumar who had interesting words to say about flying robots. Vijay Kumar describes the ways that drones (flying robots) can deliver stuff to us and can do stuff for packaging, and the future could possibly drones. But, the issue is that drones today are used for surveillance in the Military, but if people can get a hold of this technology when it is used for simpler tasks people feel threatened. When there is camera attached to the drone it gives the question of how much are we giving up for our privacy if we buy into the idea of drones? I really encourage you guys to watch this it is pretty good TED Talk.

US Presidential Election

A lot about the news during this time period is about the 2016 US Presidential Election. As you probably know US is probably one of the most important countries in the world today, due to it's rapid growth in economy and how developed they have gotten over the years. So the President of USA is pretty important. The president can solve many issues for the country as a whole, from dealing with nuclear weapons in Iran to solving the issue of gun control in America. As you know the most famous candidate Donald Trump (Republican Candidate). Trump supports polices that mainly affect white Christians. This is not bad thing, but as the president he has to be looking over all people instead of just determining someone by their race. Trump and his radical thinking will actually put America in a threat. But hey it depends on what he is going to do in office. This the most famous candidate of the republicans. Now the democrats. Hilary Clinton (Bill Clinton's Wife) and Bernie Sanders are neck and neck for the spot of top democratic candidate. Both want to solve the issues of America and the world. Issues such as Healthcare, education, wages, and guns is something that comes up pretty often. International issues such as nuclear war, terrorists, oil, and treaties is something also being discussed both in Republican and Democratic debates. I personally want a president for change and will make America a place that I want to live in. As a US citizen you want the president who will benefit your life.

SO, I want to know your opinion on who do you think should be the next president of the USA and why. If you want more info on the prsendtial election I suggeest you take a look at the debates of the both sides or look up some news articles on CNN, BBC, NY Times, etc.

When I Feel Frustrated, I Do....

I have heard from a lot of my friends that they get frustrated or stressed out really quickly. School's now these days put a lot of pressure on teenagers to do well. So today I am just going to give you some tips on what to do when frustrated.

1. Take Breaks
A lot of people might know this, but it is scientifically proven by Stanford and Yale University that taking breaks actually helps going through a project easier. You have to set time limits. Crunching it all in just one time period is something which is never going to help you. People who do this actually take twice or thrice of what is required to complete the assignment. Taking ideal small 5-10 min breaks is really good. This is a perfect time to go outside, drink water, get a stretch, even just close your eyes for sometime. Most probably you sit at a computer for far to long which actually make you more stressed out when thinking about the project.

2. Drink PLENTY of Water
You might hear about all these fancy sports drinks which are supposed to keep you energized, but really you are harming your body. Sports drinks contain loads of sugar and even when it says no sugar added there will be chemicals in there to create a supplement for the sugar. Sugar is something, which can bring your focus down a lot. So, the best drink is just regular H20. Water is something plain and nice and it can just keep you hydrated which is key for being focused and not getting stressed. You should always have a bottle of water next to you so even if you are working you can get a quick sip and go back to your work.

3. Don't Multitask
As many people think that multitasking is a talent, which can help you do the work more faster. First of all this wrong in many cases. You should just work on that task at hand and then don't try to wander off into different subjects. This is the best way to actually get your work done faster and the work that you put in will really payoff.

4. Finally, Have a System
Basically this means is to have someway of being focused. I am a person who can get really distracted, and that hurt my grades a little bit, but then when I found ways to boost my concentration it helped me by a lot. The internet is a great place to get apps for your computer so that you can block sites/apps and have a certain time limit at that assignment. But, don't forget to take breaks. If you use these apps to you advantage and actually focus, you won't be that frustrated and you get your work in done faster. Some apps that I have explored is one called HeyFocus, this is a great app for Mac or PC. This app allows you to block any website you want from Tumblr to Yahoo and this can also block apps like Skype or Spotify. You can set specific time periods from this app to help you be focused. This app does cost money and I did buy it and this will change the way you work. The second app that I know of is called Freedom for Mac or PC. This app lets you block the internet as a whole or specific websites. This is one is a pretty good one, but I love going onto Skype sometimes and Freedom does not let you do that. Other than that Freedom is pretty good focus app for just the internet.


I would really like it if you guys find any other websites that are good with keeping your focus up. Or, if there is some strategy that you like to do that is not in this list put it in the comments and I'll take a look at them.

Thanks

The Return of School

Just two days ago my school just reopened again to start the second semester. As a Freshman (9th Grader) it can be tough to be well acquainted with high school work and stress. High school is the probably the most important time period of a person's life because that determines which college you go to and from that it decides the rest of your life. School is tough, but learning to accept is something that will benefit everyone.
So in the comments section tell me about what your thoughts are about school.

A New Beginning - Getting to Know me

Hi Everyone,

My name is Akash and I would like to thank you for coming to this blog and reading this post. I am huge Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners fan because I was born and lived in Seattle until I moved to Singapore. I have a strong passion for sports so today I am going to talk about sports and why it has impacted all of our lives. Sports first inspires me because of the atmosphere of so many people in stands cheering or booing for whatever team. I have seen people get inspired of sports because of their ancestry and how they got introduced to it or some thing that people are talking a lot and you want to pick up on that. This is just something I wanted to share with you.
