Assignment 5/29

Cozi-Live Binder-All classes-All teachers-Cozi is an amazing tool for homework assignments. The calender can keep you up to date on homework assignments and tests.  Since there is the mobile app, you wont have to write down homework or tests on your planners any more. Also, the simplicity of the tool makes it fun. Anyone who isn't good with electronics can easily work the site. My mom is horrible with any types of electronics and she was able to work the site with ease. You could also send messages to other people and write on the to do list so everyone could see it. Since almost all of my binders are a mess, I could easily find what I'm looking for on the journal, where people can write notes from the lesson, chapter, or notes for the final exam. Cozi is a phenomenal site that could be used for a class or a family.

A Baby's Life Saved By the World's Smallest Artificial Heart

     In March, Italian doctors were faced with a baby who would not live unless a real heart was ready for transplant.  The doctors decided to give the baby a transplant once it was born. When it was born, they successfully gave the baby the world's smallest artificial heart.  The device is a titanium pump weighing only 11 grams and that can endure a flow of up to 1.5 litres per minute. A few days later after the artificial heart was put in, a real donor heart was available, and now the baby is fine. This shows how much we've advanced in medical technology.

Parakeet Found Its Way Home by Telling the Police Its Home Address

     In Yokohama, Japan, a bird found its way home. I didn't find its way home in a normal way though. It got home by telling the police its home address. This bird's name is Piko-chan, and it accidentally left its house on Sunday morning in the Sagamihara district of Yokohama, Japan.  The owner was prepared and trained her parakeet to say its address if it ever got lost.  The bird found a refuge at a hotel.  The next day, the bird was handed to the police for a few days until it perked up and started saying its home address. The police brought the bird to the address it was saying and found out that the bird did belong to the person who lived there. I would never have the patience to teach a bird how to say my address, which is actually a smart thing to do.
