What is Thanksgiving about to you and your family? What are some traditions that you have in your family for Thanksgiving or other holidays? Do you or other members of your family hunt during Thanksgiving week? Tell me a little bit about your view on hunting.
Thanksgiving is about being with our family and giving thanks to the people who helped build this country. Traditions are me and my cousins breaking the wishbone. My stepdad hunts whenever he gets a chance, I am going to go when I get my hunting license. I don't see a problem with hunting because, if we didn't hunt before winter the animals would for one reason overrun us, and starve to death when there isn't enough food for a lot of deer or anything else you hunt, and as long as you do it for sport or food I do not see a problem with it.

Tell me about a veteran or a current service member that you know or are related to. Why is it important to honor veterans of our country? Name at least one small way that youcan honor or thank a veteran or current service member. (Or maybe a way that you already did yesterday on Veteran's Day.)
My step uncle is going to be serving in a couple of months. It's important to honor the men & women who helped keep this country safe. On Veterans day, I went to a friends school and we went next the Veterans memorial next to Walgreens and sang to the Veteran's American songs.

Yay Buttons...not
While we were developing our game, I realized how difficult it was to code the buttons. The tutorials did help a lot with the navigation buttons though. While we were designing our game we had an idea of how we could include buttons in our game and game demo. It was challenging finding the right layers for the buttons and the code, we got confused a lot during it.

November 5 Essential Question
1. Define:
research scientist: A scientist, in the broadest sense, is any person who engages in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge or an individual that engages in such practices and traditions that are linked to schools of thought or philosophy.
stint: stretch: an unbroken period of time during which you do something; "there were stretches of boredom"; "he did a stretch in the federal penitentiary"
developing countries: a term generally used to describe a nation with a low level of material well being.
GDP: General Political Department (PLA)
market research survey: is the systematic gathering, recording, and analysis of data about issues relating to marketing products and services.
rural: living in or characteristic of farming or country life; "rural people"; "large rural households"; "unpaved rural roads"; "an economy that is basically rural"
contract-labor force: The total number of people employed or seeking employment in a country or region.
2. Why would people in developing countries be particularly likely to be interested in small jobs? Who do you think benefits more from mobile phones, people in rich countries or people in developing countries? They take what they can get since their opportunities are limited.
3. Why do you think that the number of people in the developing world with mobile phones has gone up so quickly? Does this mean that people in poor parts of the world are now richer than they were a few years ago? No, prices for these phones have gone down, and there are very good deals.
4. What is local knowledge? What would be some examples of non-local knowledge? Why does some knowledge remain local, while other knowledge is recorded in encyclopedias and newspapers?
Mainly very, very important information that can have an effect on everywhere or a large landmass, not just a small town.
5. How can knowledge help people? How does crowdsourcing make use of local knowledge?
6. If relief agencies knew where malnourished people or people needing medicine were, how would the world be different? How do most people communicate their need for food, medicine, and other items? How are these needs a type of localized knowledge? They can send letters or now use phones if they have them, or the internet with e-mails or even social networking websites.
7. What are some other uses you can think of for txteagle?
It helps places have better productivity and reduce the prices for it.

What are the challenges of completing your personal web pages? Explain.
The challenges i'm having with my webpage are, I forget how to make a lot of the elements we need for the webpage to make it look professional. It's a lot tougher than it looks and seems. I am having a hard time knowing what the resume should look like.
