Fox Business. “Google Launches Twitter Workaround for Egypt.” Fox Business. N.p., 1 Feb. 2011. Web. 27 Oct. 2011. .

This link explains how Google launched a special program for Egyptians to send Twitter messages through their phone that leaves a voicemail because of the loss of internet connection in the country. to do this you just dial a certain phone number, then the voicemail is translated into an audio file message which is sent on Twitter using the identifying tag #egypt. this is a great idea and new innovation that Google made for the people of Egypt seeing as the government shut down internet and text messaging in the country. even Youtube took action into combating the government by streaming live coverage of Al Jazeera's broadcasts of the events in Egypt. With the power of of Twitter, Facebook, Google, and Youtube, the country of Egypt was finally free from the evil that was President Hosni Mubarak, which got him out of office for his unjust acts.

Gross, Doug. “Google, Twitter help give voice to Egyptians.” CNN. N.p., 1 Feb. 2011. Web. 27 Oct. 2011. .

Like the last link, this source gives out more information about the use of voicemails conversion to tweets. Google, Twitter, and a program called SayNow created the tool that can convert your voice, translate that language to english, and convert it into tweets for all of us to understand. the numbers to call for translation are +16504194196 or +390662207294 or +97316199855. people can even listen to the voices of the egyptians by going to twitter.com/speak2tweet. when tweets are generated, they always have the trend #egypt, which is very efficient when you take a look at the world trends and always catches your eye and make you see what it is all about. and even though mobile phone access is very weak in Egypt due to Mubarak closing of the internet and phone towers, people can still use landlines to get their message across.

O’Dell, Jolie. “How Egyptians Used Twitter During the January Crisis.” Mashable. N.p., 1 Feb. 2011. Web. 27 Oct. 2011. .

this source is a little different, in that it uses charts to describe the location of the tweets and the number of tweets and Twitter accounts. all of this information has been generated by the social media intelligence firm Sysomos. this is all done by analyzing keywords and location data, that might show just how news and information about Egypt are being shown by social media. on the graph, it states that 14,642 Twitter users identified their locations being either Egypt, Tunisia, or Yemen, with Egypt taking the greater of the majority. these charts also explain the use of keywords and the amount of tweets being sent per week.

Ungerleider, Neal. “Massive Egyptian Protests Powered by YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Twitpic [Pics, Video, Updates].” Fast Company. N.p., 25 Jan. 2011. Web. 27 Oct. 2011. .

this link explains how these tweets are being sent and the result of the tweets. it explains and shows videos and pics being used and posted on Facebook and Twitter for the whole world to show. as a result of the tweets, Mubarak ordered the government to shut down the country's internet and phone towers to that the people cannot signal help from the outside world. with this outrageous call of action, the egyptians started to riot, and called January 25 the Day of Rage, where they stormed the streets and riot to overthrow Mubarak. a Facebook page, called Mama Qarat, posted this picture of people in the streets rioting.

Cadmium

1. Cadmium ore is not mined for the metal because more than enough is produced as a byproduct of the melting of other metals such as zinc, lead and copper. The main countries that produce this are Canada, USA, Australia, Mexico, Japan and Peru. 

2. There are many environmental impacts of the mining of cadmium, which is usually with zinc. It harms the soil, harming the animals dependent on plants for survival. It is also a major threat tp aquatic ecosystems. Regulations limit the enviromental affect of Cadmium. The regulations only allow a little amount of cadmium to enter the water through disposal of wastewater from households or industries. 

3.The human health concerns when used to manufacture consumer electronics are stomach pains and severe vomiting, bone fracture, reproductive failure, DNA damage, cancer development, and much more. Any animal or human who consumes cadmium is succeptible to gaining high blood pressures, liver disease and nerve or brain damage. This can lead to death. Smokers obtain cadmium in their lungs. 

4. The documented health impacts that are associated with its demanufacturing are the fumes that arise from the manufacturing. It is similar to the manufacturing, for both obtain the fumes that harms the lungs and can lead to death.

ewaste

for me, i took no action into stopping ewaste because of one reason; companies are trying their best to create a perfect balance in putting toxins in their product. lets think this logically, if a company uses all different sorts of useless toxins, people would know to stay away from that company's products and take their business elsewhere. no company is going to risk that big of a gamble while people know about ewaste. not to mention that the economy is in a slump and we need to be in mind of that with the right amount of balance in products. however, i do agree that we should reuse these products and maybe send them to countries that are not as fortunate like places in africa. that is very vital as well helping other countries to have some sort of technology. so this is where i stand, i believe that companies hire experts to regulate a good balance in their products's toxic intake and that we should give our obsolete products to countries in africa for them to use.

DS

for my digital story, i will use Vuvox to create my Storyboard. i choose Vuvox because it is very easy to use, will use a variety of pictures of crowd scenes, tweets, and info to help people understand and know what is going on. i will use the information from my bibliography as well as new information. i am still creating the presentation, but once it is done it will be great.

this is so much better than Family Circus
