Henry David Thoreau

Mark Twain

The first day of Junior year I was most excited to go to my english III class. I have heard great things about Mr.forman, so sophomore year I told my guidance concealer that I want Mr. Forman as my english teacher for next year. Im a very persistent person so I was not going to take no for an answer. I knew that I wanted to challenge myself, and I knew Mr.Forman was going to be able to deliver that. The first day of school I expected to learn great things, and a teacher to push me educational, but also as a person too. Well, this year I have learned immense things. I learn about historical documents and essays that changed America. Also, I learned about exquisite writers who has shaped what America is today. Some of these writes that I have learned about this year is Emerson, Thoreau, Dickinson,Whitman, and Twain. Most of all, I grew as a person, and I see things in a different light. I'm not as closed minded and more open to different ideas.

Furthermore, Mr.forman has a strict but fair grading policy. He treats us like young adults. Which is very positive because in the real world there is no do overs. For example if a homework or project is due on a due date he expects his students to have it in by that day, and if not then you get the grade you deserve. In english class we use the chromebooks to do group projects, and to write essays. An interesting aspect of the class is that every lecture Mr. Forman gives you feel inspired to do something. When I leave his class I feel like a whole new person. When I do all his assignments I do it  with great pleasure because I know that I'm learning about something amazing, and I'm improving as a person as well.

Finally, I would recommend Mr. Forman class to anyone. He is one of the best teachers I ever had. Mr. Forman is one of a kind. He truly understand what true education is all about. I have never seen myself work as hard, and care as much about any class. I also know that I can even push myself more because I haven’t even reached my full potential. He is a teacher who truly loves to teach, and loves his job. I know this because the way he delivers a lesson with such great passion. I can go on and on about how an amazing teacher he is, but to truly know what I am talking it is one of those things in life that you have to see for yourself. I believe that anyone should find a time to get to know Mr. Froman, or to at least sit in one of his class lecture.

3D Printer Trends in the Fashion Industry

The possibilities for 3D printing are endless. And now, designers and fashion enthusiasts are jumping on the bandwagon. While fashion designers have been using 3D printed materials since 2010, their range has been limited until recently. 3D printed pieces are restricted to the materials that a machine can print with, and with this in mind, designers are often visually restricted in terms of what can be made. With 3D printers becoming more prevalent and affordable, it's truly the next frontier in fashion. Accompanied by 3D scanning technology, 3D printing can allow for the most incredible levels of personalization in fashion," Robinson said. "It's a new understanding of accessible haute couture."

Color IQ

New technology in the makeup world! Sephora and Pantone teamed up to create a new product that matches skin color to the right shade of foundation. Even with training, it’s still difficult for the human eye to always accurately match the right foundation to skin color because of variables such as skin undertones and lighting. The product job is to  identify the color of a customer's skin in seconds, then finds the closest matches from a library of color palettes loaded into its memory. What this product does is that it takes three different different pictures of your neck, cheek, and forehead to provide the customers with the perfect shade. This is done because your skin pigment is not all the same all around. For example, your forehead can be a darker shade from your neck, and cheek. The color of the skin is then checked against the shades of 1,300 foundations Sephora carries to find the best matches. Capsure is even programmed so the data can be easily emailed to a customer so he or she can use the information for future purchases. The handheld device received a 2013 Technology award from Cosmetics Business, a Switzerland-based media company that operates several magazines and websites.
