This final ted talk that I will be doing was by far the most interesting thing I've seen. Joe Landolina has developed a jell that can stop any cut of any kind anywhere in the body instantly. By using plant polymer to rebuild the skin matrix he has developed a product that will help people nation wide from deaths related to loss of bleeding. Joe hopes to get this jell in the hands of veterinarians by October of 2015. If I were to give this a rating I would give this talk a 10/10. It had no problems or any flaws of any kind. His stories were most effective when he related this problem to soldiers in battle dying, but instead can be easily saved by this jell which would stop the bleeding instantly. I love how Joe stayed enthusiastic throughout his whole talk and seemed very excited to share his product to the people. This was my favorite ted talk and has me looking in the field of medicine or bio chemical engineering. This is Zach Funk, with my last ted talk. Thank you for reading and have a good day. https://www.ted.com/talks/joe_landolina_this_gel_can_make_you_stop_bleeding_instantly#t-288105
Hello everybody, today I will be talking to you about archeology from space. A woman by the name of Sarah Parcak had found the Egyptian's capital that existed more than 4000 years ago. Your probably thinking how they did this? This was accomplished with the success of satellite images from space to find this and by seeing how the landscape changed over thousands of years. She was able to find the city and even found a Egyptian jeweler's house and even finding jewels that are from over 4000 years ago. This video intrigued allot, she was very effective by clearly stating her point and the message she was stating, which was trying to find Egyptian artifacts and trying to recruit young Egyptian's to learn how to use the satellite technology to find more great discoveries. There was one problem about this woman though, her jokes failed miserably and were not funny, she constantly chewed her spit, which you could hear loud and clear through the mic, and had little representation of the archeological site she was showing which resulted in a, my opinion low quality ted talk. I would love to hear more what this woman has to say and hope to see her more in the future if she fixes some of the few things I dislike about her. https://www.ted.com/talks/sarah_parcak_archeology_from_space#t-300391
Hello everybody, for my third and final ted talk that is related to law, I will be telling you about Lauris Liepa. Lauris is a lawyer who went to a 7 year archeology school before he decided he wanted to become a lawyer. Lauris is a very smart lawyer, who has been involved in numerous cases, and thinks out side the box on all of his cases. He uses weird and obscure ways to win his cases, like by interviewing witnesses one on one trying to convince them what they saw didn't happen and try to make everyone happy in the end. Lauris's biggest piece of advice was to "Think like a child", because a child always gets back up after being hurt and is always happy. At first I thought Lauris was a old boring piece of lard, which lost my attention at first, but then I started to actually listen to him and realized he was actually a very smart man which intrigued me and made me want to watch him also making him very effective in what he was saying. Even though Lauris was boring and had his shoes off the whole time he was very fun to watch due to his ability to tell funny jokes and be very polite to the crowd watching. Even though Lauris's message wasn't to clear on how he wanted to help people to pursue their law career he was still very effective and fun to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIysMV9wbVY
Hello everybody, Today I watched a ted talk that angered me. It was called "How I defend the rule of law". The woman never introduced her self in the ted talk but in the bio her name is "Kimberley Motley". She talked about how she went to some countries and the legal system was very unjust. She went to all these different countries and tried helping people who had been wrongfully convicted of crimes they did not do, she didn't talk about that though, she talked about how she helped a family avoid a $2500 loan to some neighbors by using the legal system she used a law that stated in Afghanistan you couldn't hand out loans and only banks could. She helped the family by avoiding this and used many other extraneous laws to help people out and help others who were falsely accused. Personally I absolutely hated this woman, the moment she didn't introduce herself I knew it was going to be a bad ted talk, and I was right. Kimberley was very boring and moved around allot which caused me to lose her attention. She told sad stories which did not appeal to me, and she even looked depressing. She was not enthusiastic at all and failed to make jokes. Kimberley even failed to acknowledge when they had applauded for her abruptly. This was probably one of the most boring ted talks and due to her ineffectiveness she lost my attention in the first 30 seconds. https://www.ted.com/talks/kimberley_motley_how_i_defend_the_rule_of_law?language=en#t-411548
The Ted Talk I have watched today was "A Better Way to Teach Law", In this ted talk I was very impressed with the speaker Laurie Levenson by being very enthusiastic and telling jokes while she spoke. Laurie currently was a professor at a law school and tought her classes in a different way and wants a better way to teach her students the law without boring them to death or making them read extensively on a daily basis. Laurie decided she would have her class not read many books but instead observe court cases, they observed a case with a man named Obi Anthony where he was falsely convicted for a crime he never committed and was planned to server a life sentence but was released after 17 years finding out that some flaws went on in the court room. She wants her class to think of themselves as a part of the investigation by thinking themselves as the investigators, prosecutors, witnesses, defense attorneys, the judge and the jury. Laurie did a great job of explaining her self and was probably one of the best ted talks I've ever seen. She was most effective by clearly stating her message stating she wanted a new way to teach law and by being polite, loud and clear, getting the crowd to participate and excited, being very humorous and enthusiastic. This was a great ted talk and if I ever pursue law would love to have her as a professor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZldeXyTP3RU
Hello everybody for the last time, this is actually my last blog post even thought it actually says "weekly update #7". Yes, I did 4 blog post in one day, BUT STILL, will have it turned in on time, so HAHA to all you trolls. Today Is not where I do some more boring research about lawyers today I decide weather I want to be one. At first before looking into lawyers I thought being a lawyer would be a great job and very fun, but after looking into it with some extensive research I found out that being a lawyer requires some things I absolutely hate, like reading, speaking in public, walking, and spending money. So I have decided that being a lawyer is not the job for me and wish to peruse something else with my life. Thank you all for reading and sticking with me for these past few months, I've had fun doing this, my name is Zach Funk and have a fantastic life.
Hello everybody for then third time today... Today I will be talking about how can I prepare to be a lawyer? If you truly with to become a lawyer and have you're mind set early is elementary school, it is then obvious you will need to know how to read, be able to easily comprehend what you read, and be able to write well. Some other things to work on are presenting and speaking well in front of others, on top of that all you need to be on top of your work and turn in all of your assignments on time, But this is just elementary school so it doesn't really matter because its just elementary school. In middle school its generally the same stuff, because its just middle school, be able to take notes well and work on your ability to work in a team. In high school is were things start to get real, in high school it would be beneficial to take a speech and debate class, possibly a theater class, visit law campuses, attend law camps, interview lawyers, and read many law books that collage students read and books that are about lawyers or court cases like, "To Kill a Mocking Bird". For college you really just need good grades and a good SAT or ACT score. This is really it for my weekly post and really makes me wonder weather I want to be a lawyer.
Hello everybody, today i will be talking about some of the benefits and bad things about being a lawyer. Some of the obvious but not so interesting fact is how much money a typical lawyer makes, which is around $110,000 a year. One of the coolest things is that if you don't work for a law firm you handle your own chosen cases and work when you want without being told what to do. but if you do choose to enslave your self to a firm you are rewarded with lots of money, possible a company car, maybe a house, or even free clothes (fancy lawyer clothes of course ;). The biggest disadvantage about being a attorney is the huge cost of college. Assuming you go to a 4 year university and you come out with 80k in student debt, and then go straight to law school which is around 50k a year and you go for 3 years, you would come out with a $230,000 debt. This is absolutely mind blowing because it can take up to 20 years to pay this off. A new disadvantage about be a lawyer is the extensive reading on a daily bases and the amount of time you have to work for possibly little money. These disadvantages appeal to me more than the advantages which really makes me question my self of do I really want to be a lawyer?
Hello everybody, today i will be continuing my quest to learn more about lawyers and what they do but today instead i will talk to you about some tips. The number one tip is that accept help from anyone and always have a open mind on what people have to say because you can learn from them and then forever change your opinion. The second tip is that there is allot of work from home done by a lawyer, by this i mean allllot. Some lawyers can spend several months on cases trying to gather information that isn't necessarily given to them, like when your trying to expose someone of fraud or scandle, it will require allot of digging and research from home. This is all i have for this week and have a good day
