An Inconveient Truth #1
In 1964, the Surgeon General discovered that tobacco and smoking cause lung cancer.
Source #1
http://www.healthline.com/blogs/smoking_cessation/2008/03/smoking-and-lung-cancer.html
-The article was written by Jonathan Foulds, MA, MAppSci, PhD.
-He has three different degrees, a Masters, a Masters in Applied Science, and a PhD.
-Credible enough for me to believe him.
-He agrees with the fact, saying that smoking does, in fact, cause lung cancer.
-Yes I do believe the him.
-Mainly because 2 of my, mostly, well-known relatives are smokers and they both have lung problems.
Source #2
http://www.azcc.arizona.edu/cpc/lung.asp
-The source is 5 different doctors..Baldassarre Stea, MD, PhD, Deirdre Cohen, MD, Linda Garland, MD, S. Jack Wei, MD, Scot William Ebbinghaus, MD.
-They all are MDs.
-Considering the fact that they are all MDs, they are quite credible.
-They don't put the entire blame on smoking, but yes they do agree.
-I do believe them.
-Well, they are all medical doctors and more likely than not, one, if not all, of them have probably done a study or two about it.
Source #3
http://www.nbccongress.org/health_wellness/cigarette-smoking-lung-cancer.asp
-The source is the National Cancer Institute.
-Well, they are an entire society of doctors and physicians specializing in all different types of cancers.
-Very credible, they are a national association, so they obviously mean business.

-The sources tells me that smoking is one of the leading causes, among other things, for lung cancer, and gives statistics linking smokers and people who have lung cancer.
-Again, I do believe the source.
-Because I've seen it happen.
I do believe that this fact is true, because it happens in 50% of smokers and the sources have all confirmed that it is true, by explaining in medical term and giving statistics.

US Middle East Post
1.How did your country get involved in the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East?
Well, the US extended their "concern" in recognition of Israel, by letting 100,000 Jews into Isreal after World War II.
2.What is the history of your country's involvement in that conflict, from when it entered until now? (This will likely be a long answer...)
3.Who are your enemies in the Middle East? Why?
Iran-mostly because they are anti-Israelic.
Saudi Arabia-because they use oil funds to help terrorist networks.
Pakistan-because they choose not to do anything about Taliban networks against the US.
4.Who are your friends in the Middle East? Why?
Israel, Egypt, Pakistan, Jordan, and Kuwait-because they are all on the Israeli side of the Arab Israeli conflict, as are we.
5.What does your country want out of the Arab-Israeli conflict?
Peace within the Middle East, and, subsequently, to convince Israel to allow Arabs to live there.
6.What is it prepared to give up to get what it wants?
It is willing to fund US military operations to, per se, force peace on the two.
7.What will it not give up to get what it wants?
The US is not willing to risk starting a nuclear war, and not willing to risk provoking middle eastern countries to start nuclear wars.

Reflection Post
What did you learn?
Not much actually, I learned more history than I knew, but most of the rest, I already knew.
What was your research question?
Well, originally I didn't have one, but I guess the question all of my viewers had were, 'How do cars work?'
What was the answer to your research question?
A very long explanation about how they work.
Did your final product answer that question?
Mostly.
How?
By explaining the systems and and terms, in a basic form.
What did you do well on the project?
My information, it didn't have too much detail, but it didn't have too little.
What could you have improved on the project?
More history, I had a short paragraph about it.
What would you change about what you did on the project?
I would definitely put more history in, while leaving the information I already had in the book.
What would you change about the assignment itself?
Nothing, the only thing I didn't like much was the fact that we couldn't have chosen to do a poster paper or Powerpoint.
What grade do you think you deserve on the project? Why?
70%-75%. I had way way way too little information on the history of cars.

Today I plan on doing what was assigned, which was #3, Final Production Selection. This is what I did today, and it helps to know what kind of project I'm doing because without knowing how I'm doing the project, the I can't actually do the project. My next action is to get all of my information.
The Product Prospectus.
1. My research 'question' shall be, "Explain to me a brief automotive history."
2. My presentation shall be in the form of a children's book.
3. The reasoning being that I have absolutely no other ideas of how it could be done and that it bypasses the rule of no papers.
4. A finished product would be a children's book explaining autos and will most likely start with Mr. Karl Benz, and end with the car of tomorrow and the differences and advances between them. It will most likely be a good deal words per page and I use use pictures, not illustrations.
5. Because it will have a full, completely explanation of an automotive history.
6. Well first I'll get the info on the history, then I'll spread it out throughout the book and basically put it down to how it makes sense.
7. To find the info so that I could actually do the project.
