Lolita

Today we used the library database and used CQ research or ProQuest.
I did not like ProQuest because it didn't provide me with any info on my topic.
I had a better experience with CQ, I manage to get some articles on Gothic Lolita. But I was disappointed in how they didn't give enough info on the history of Lolita itself. I would rather used Google or Ask.com for finding my information.

Essay Topics

The first Topic I would like to know about is “How lolli pops are made.” I want to know who invented them and how do they put gum in the middle of them. Where did they come from? I really do not know much about this topic but I am very interested to find out the history on one of my favorite candies.
The second topic I would like to know more about is “where softball got its name from?” This topic interests me because I played this sport all my life and I really enjoy it. The facts I know is that it is compared to baseball only girls play this sport. It can also be fast or slow and the ball that is used is twice as big as a baseball. This is a competitive sport and two teams play against each other. The team with the most runs wins.
The third topic I would like to learn about is “Why is cheerleading not considered to be a sport?” I know a little about this topic because I love this activity. My opinion is that it should be considered a sport. This takes much talent and strength to be able to lift people into the air and catch them takes a lot of strength. This is also a competitive sport. Competitions are held to see what team performs beter and has more strength and talent.

border fence

For todays assignment i couldnt get in and went in to goggle and researched border fences. It specified that they are going to make a 675 mile fence to keep immigrants from coming to the U.S., i believe they are doing to much to keep them from coming from to the U.S.. Immigrants have continuosly kept the economy running very well in the U.S. and shouldnt keep them from coming. Realisticly california wouldnt function without immigrants.

Photography

I came across one of the first snap shots. It was made in 1888-1978: from the collection of Robert E. Jackson. He took a picture of this child sleeping on the ground. People thought the child was poor stirring up mystery. The greatest features are mystery, ambiguity, and contrast is the secret to make a great photo.

I found alot of articles about multitasking in everyday life for people. Most of the articles I found said that multitasking could be an efficient thing for some people but for others useless skill. The articles also spoke how the quality of the tasks be done while doing others at the same time greately diminishes. The more tasks at hand, the poorer the quality of the tasks will be when completed. According to the articles I read over, its better to limit your multitasking to a few and to do the most important tasks first.
