MASTERING THE LAW OF GRAVITY



I am not a big fan of Martial Arts movies. Before studying this unit, whenever I saw a Martial Arts movie I thought that all those acrobatic movements were just result of science fiction effects. In the same way that all those combats where there were people flying. 

This unit has taught me many new things. One of them is that human beings are able to do unbelievable things, such as the ones Yuen Wo-ping managed as an action choreographer in all the Martial Arts and Action movies he worked on. 

Now that I know that it is possible to do all those things presented in Martial Arts movies without using computer tricks, I am getting more interested in them. Every time I see one of these movies where there are people flying and jumping off walls, I wonder if I could learn to do the same. In conclusion, after studying Mastering The Law of Gravity, I have realized that actually I do like action and Martial arts movies. 



SMART CARS, INTELLIGENT HIGHWAYS

I think this country is not ready for having smart highways. Just imagine people who don´t follow any rule, they will never underestand the usage of that tecnology.

I love cars and I also love technology, so imagine  when you combine both at the same time and you will have an exciting matter.

For me the most important part of a smart car would be not to contaminate the world or do less than todays cars. I realized that many future cars are small and their technology is based on electricity, so it wont use todays fuels.

Smart Cars, Intelligent Highways




It’s exciting to think how much we have advanced on technology, but it’s even more exciting to think how much we are going to advance. We started with cars, and then we made them automatic cars, now there are people developing a way where they could drive themselves with the help of computers, navigation systems intelligent highways, and more features.
 With all the accomplishment we are having, it’s not weird to say that sooner than later we will be flying cars.

The name game

For every enterprise is very important its name because thats the first opportunity to get to the people. This brand must     be very catchy so everybody would remember it all the time. In some cases there are type of brandnames that go to another country and have problems with the language, because of  the meaning of the name in tha country.

checking on the internet I found this information and I think it  could be helpfull for you .


1. Check on the Competition: What kind of names do your competitors have? Make a list and compare them to spark your own ideas and to help you develop a name that really stands out from the crowd.
2. Think about Your Target Audience: You want your business name to resonate with the people you are trying to reach. Use what you know about your target audience to measure the relevancy of any names you come up with.
3. Embrace Your Creativity: While you want your name to be easy to pronounce and remember, don’t skip over the value of creating a name that is completely unique. Not only can this make your business more memorable, but it can also provide a great opportunity for a back story, if your creative name has a special meaning.
4. Look at It from All Angles: Think about how the name will fit into the everyday operations of your business, and what it will make others think and feel. Make sure it coveys a clear message and that you are aware of all of the possible connotations that may influence how your business is perceived.
5. Don’t Limit Yourself: If you choose a name that identifies exactly what you do, such as Joe’s Logo Design, you might be limiting the future growth of your business. Sometimes it makes sense to be a little more general, such as Joe’s Graphic Design, so you don’t have to revisit and possibly revamp your brand down the line.
6. Get Input: Once you have a few possibilities, bounce them off of friends, family, colleagues and potential clients if possible. Ask for their initial impressions and suggestions they may have, and then add their feedback to your process.
7. Visualize the Brand: Your business name is more than just a name, it’s a big part of your company brand. Think in terms of your domain name, your marketing materials and how the name will essentially translate into all aspects of this new brand you are creating.
8. Use Tools: During your brainstorming phase, use some of the tools that are available to get inspired. A thesaurus is a must-have, and here are a few online tools to try out:
9. Keep It Short: Your business name won’t necessarily be more effective if it’s short, but it may be easier to remember. You can also consider using an acronym, but be careful – unless there is an obvious and memorable tie-in, using an acronym can make your name too generic to be relatable to your target.
10. Sleep On It: Put your shortlist of names aside for a day or two and then come back to it with a fresh perspective. You may feel differently about a name you loved before, or your working list may help you develop a new and perfect name when you review it again.
I used many of these tips years ago when I started my business, avertua. While it may not be the perfect case study in business name development, my business name has sparked many questions about where it came from (I made it up), what it means (it’s my take on what I provide: “a virtual solution”), and how to pronounce it (ah-ver-choo-ah). My goal when creating my business name was to get people intrigued and to be memorable, and it appears I’ve been successful in doing that.

1.        Have you ever heard an urban legend set in your own country?
 Of course, in our country Dominican Republic we can find many of them as The Baca, The ciguapa, The Woman of Las Americas and others. I already talked in this Blog about The Baca, which is a diabolical creature that people can summon to make deals.

2.        Have you ever heard ¨The Organ Thieves¨ or ¨The Vanishing Hitchhiker ¨stories?
 I hadn’t heard about The Vanishing Hitchhiker until this class, but I watched a movie that might be related to The Organ Thieves.
3.        How were the versions of the stories that you heard different from the ones in the reading?
 The Organ Thieves movie I watched and the one we read were different because in the movie there was just one thief and he used to stole organ for pleasure.
