Samsung Makes A Curved Smartphone

• Samsung plans to introduce a smartphone with a curved display screen.

• Curved screens are rare among smartphones since they usually have a flat, rectangular display.

• The displays are supposed to offer a more immerse viewing experience, but are significantly more expensive than standard screens.

• The edges of the smartphone would open exponentially more space for viewing content.

• It opens up into a small tablet.

• This bendable display screen could be unbreakable.

• However, it still faces a major challenge in making other handset components, such as batteries, that can bend with the rest of the unit.

• Whether the phone would be plastic or not is undecided.

• This phone could be a version of the Galaxy S3.

• The Nexus smartphone, which was release in 2011, had a slight curve to it, but this phone takes the concept further. 

• A curved screen would also boost Samsung's status as a leader on the mobile innovation front.

• No exact price or release date.

     I have Mr. Minnocci's US History II third period honors class. He is the spring track and field coach at Wood-ridge high school, and he has been working in the education field for about more than two decades. He is an excellent role model and a person you can go to when needed. He has a sense of humor that makes him approachable and welcoming to the class. As the year goes on, I expect to grow mentally in that class. Learning new things and having discussions on everyday events and the past ones as well.

     The grading policy he goes by is 40% test and quizzes, 10% for homework, 40% projects and based assignments and 10%  for participation. There are several interesting aspects of his class. His everyday riddles make us think outside the box, and laugh about some of the answers provided by my fellow classmates. His discussions on the topics we are learning are powerfully strong, since the whole class participates. The video clips showed during this chapter about the Cold War and Korea greatly helped the understanding of the chapter by focusing on the main points.

      Technology in the class is used in different ways. It is used in watching video clips on the topic we are learning and or look a power point noting the important parts of each and every section we go over. We also use technology by using our online textbook and plugging in our user name and password. This years class is a challenge, but if hard work is put in, it will be worth it. With everything learn in the US history II course, someday, somehow is gonna help you in the near future.

What 9/11 means to me?

September 11 doesn't really mean anything to me because i was very little when this tragedy happen and I did not live in this country either. In Colombia, me and my family where worried when this happen because my aunt lived in the United States; we did not know if it affected her. Fortunately, she did not get hurt.  Sadly, many others were.

Introduction

My name is Valentina Gonzalez, I am 15 years old, and I'm in sophomore year of high school. My nationality is Colombian and I moved to the United States four years ago. I like to run and spend time with my friends and family. I do track and field and cheering. I enjoyed vising my country whenever I can, since mostly all my family lives there. I'm in two honors classes, which are history II honors and geometry honors. My only elective is Web 2.O for the first half of the year, and then financial literacy for the other half. I take Italian II, and the other regular classes require to graduate.
