In this photo essay, people in China created a full scale city from ice blocks. From lights, restraunts, even a pool, this place is really a winterwonderland.
I enjoyed this photo essay because it was cool - hehe - in itself to see a city built on ice. I believe that it proves that the human race is capable of doing anything thier mind is set on doing.
I would love to chill out at the Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival!

Life in a Day
A movie made entirely on viewer videos sounds like a drag, but believe me, it was a surprising and entertaining twist to any average movie. On, July 24, 2010, Youtube told the world to film their lives. Then, a grouop of elite movie producers will edit the videos into a full length, fully entertaining movie about the comparisons and contrasts of life in one day. It was happy, sad, shocking, scary, gruesome, unsanitary, adventureous, and boring; because a life in one day is one million stories in one.
Some scenes that were memoriable to me was the scenes of the poorer class people and the people that make life from nothing. For example, i enjoyed the scene when the africans were making a home in the jungle for their family. I enjoyed this part because I would like to make a home for myself. I also like this section of the movie because it helps me realize that somebody's life is always harder than mine-not that my life is hard- and I learned that I take things for granted.
I had a postive reaction when I saw a little kid in a spansish country making money with his own job that he had shining shoes.
I had a negative reaction when some cattle herders killed a cow because the way they did it was bloody, inhumane, and sudden. They shot it in the head twice, let it die, and then cut its head off.
Some patterns in humanity is everybody had a love and a fear, everybody woke up to the same sun, and everybody was working to help them and thier family.
A juxtapostion that I saw was the movie showed clips of people with a lot of water, and then they went to clips of people with no water in dry areas.
I enjoyed how the film showed so many areas of life and I would recommend Life in a Day to anybody.

TIME most influencial people
These few people have influenced many people in some way-
Reed Hastings has been very influencial and successful! Reed Hastings invented Netflix, revolutionizing entertainment distribution. I believe with out him, people wouldn't be able to enjoy a movie that is conveniatly accessible and hassle free
Nathan Wolfe
runs the CIA of infectious disease. Almost every decade, a new, unknown and deadly disease spurts up, and Wolfe and his crew find and stop it from spreading to humans. He is recognized because it is very dangerous work to chase down a disease that you know nothing about. I believe he is worthy to be one of TIMEs top 100 influencial people because he risks his life to help prevent our own lives from getting in danger.
Oprah Winfrey
has transformed TV with over twenty-five seasons of her show, inspiring the lives of many people in the process. I admire her because she is very selfless and kindhearted to others and she encorages people to act the same way.
