Ms. Campbell en-us 2020-06-23 15:31:08 UTC 2026-02-21 09:38:34 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f58b.png Marie Curie by Malika Baur https://padlet.com/campbell39/88koshdozm2lbwuz/wish/1339538466 Marie Curie's home town was Warsaw, Poland. She was born on November 7 1867. Her birth name was Maria Sklodowska but her nickname was Manya. Her parents occupations were both teachers. Her dad taught mathematics while her mom was the headmistress in a school just for girls. Marie had five siblings but Marie was the youngest.

Marie was a smart child she learned to wright and read at a young age so it gave her a bit of an advantage.

Marie's dream was to attend a university, though it wasn't very often that girls would attend university normaly , men were only allowed to go to university. But there was a university in France Sorbonne women could attend that university. she did not have enough money to attend but she started working so she could attend to sorbonne.

While Marie was attending university she decided that she was going to become a scientist. She changed her name to Marie instead of Manya. A few years later she met Pierre Curie. Pierre Curie was also a scientist and they fell in love. And a few years later they made their first child Irène. while she was continuing her career as a scientist she was amazed by rays that were found by other scientists. Not long after Marie was working on making experiments on rays. One day while Marie was experimenting on a material called pitchblade. And found lots of new rays. Marie named the rays with her husband, Pierre Curie polonium and radium for radioactivity.

While world war 1, she saw that X-rays saw what was wrong with the personne there weren't many X-rays so she made little trucks that have X-rays in them. They were named little Curies.

Sadly, her husband Pierre Curie died by getting ran over by a carriage in 1906. In 1936, she died by too much exposer of radiation. Marie Curie lived to be one of the most successful and famous scientists to ever live.

30 November 1874.
He is now resting in
St Martin's Church, Bladon
He was supported by the Conservative party and was the Prime Minister of United Kingdom during the Second World War he was one of the biggest powers in the war. As prime minister (1940–45) during most of World War II, Winston Churchill rallied the British people and led the country from the brink of defeat to victory. He shaped Allied strategy in the war, and in the war’s later stages he alerted the West to the expansionist threat of the Soviet Union. The young Churchill passed an unhappy and sadly neglected childhood, redeemed only by the affection of Mrs. Everest, his devoted nurse. At Harrow his conspicuously poor academic record seemingly justified his father’s decision to enter him into an army career. War came as no surprise to Churchill. He had already held a test naval mobilization. Of all the cabinet ministers he was the most insistent on the need to resist Germany. On August 2, 1914, on his own responsibility, he ordered the naval mobilization that guaranteed complete readiness when war was declared. The war called out all of Churchill’s energies. He also helped popularize the peace sign. He is truly a hero.

 She is famous for her diary that later got published as a book called The diary of a young girl.

Anne and her family were Jewish and by the time hitler came Anne, hid for 2 years to avoid the Nazi.

Her father was Otto Frank and her mother's name was Edith Frank.

Otto escaped from Frankurt to Amsterdam in the Netherlands where the family soon followed.


On August 4, 1944, the Gestapo (German Secret State Police) discovered the hiding place.
 It has been long thought that the authorities pretended after being tipped off by a random Dutch caller.
 But a more recent theory is that the German SD discovered the hideaway by chance, while investigating reports that illegal work and fraud with ration coupons were occurring at the house.

Margot Frank died at the age of 19 around the time Anne died. Anne's mother Edith died too in the same time.

SS officials also chose Anne's parents for labor. Anne's mother, Edith died in Auschwitz in early January 1945.]]> 2021-03-22 18:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/campbell39/88koshdozm2lbwuz/wish/1339543262 Steven Lisberger, By Roc Morgan https://padlet.com/campbell39/88koshdozm2lbwuz/wish/1339545079 Steven Lisberger born April 24, 1951 in New York City, New York is the creator, co-writer and director of TRON. He also worked on the movie's special effects, especially the trademark "glowing circuitry" of TRON. He was later involved with the sequel, TRON:Legacy, and appeared in the End of Line Club. Coincidentally, "TRON" is a debugging command in the BASIC command language. It is an abbreviation of TRace ON.

It is used primarily for debugging, line-numbered BASIC GOTO and GOSUB statements. In text-mode environments such as the TRS-80, or MS-DOS/PC-DOS witch are all  important pieces of coding and . it would print the current line number which was being executed on-screen. In a windowed environment, when the TRON command had been executed, a window would indicate the line number being executed at that instant.

This command's opposite is TROFF, or TRace OFF, used to turn off command tracing. Witch originally, was in my opinion similar to the game UND by toby fox.  with the graphics and the way you can transfer.

The Idea of Tron was made up of what happens to all of those lines of code quote on quote "racing" each other. Steven Lisberger said "what do you think they look like glowing planes or motorcycles or just lines .

Depending on Lisberger's imagination he thought they were people battling on motorcycles. That is where he got the ideas of the "Light Cycle" and the multiple generations of it Light Cycle (5th generation), and so on. So basically Tron is extremely diverse and complex here is a link to the game: Tron Game. there were also tank wars, a classic Tron running game, a centipede like Tron bullet hell game, and much much more. Im persanaly a fan of the light cycles. witch you can get the original of on IOS or on arcade.

There are very few Tron copies left but if you do find now it cost very little at most thirteen dollars and twenty two cents once again AT MOST. 

There has been many copies of Tron most famously gta5 or grand theft auto five also has a Tron mini game / DLC. 

And movies and tv shows all about Tron the most popular movie is Tron LEGACY and of course the original movie this is the Tron LEGACY most famous scene.

Ruth's parents weren't very educated however they still encouraged her to get a good education.

She studied government on a scholarship at Cornell University, then she moved on to going to Harvard Law School 2 years after getting married to her husband Martin Ginsburg. (Fun fact: She was one of 9 women at Harvard Law).

After her husband graduated they moved to New York City, where she continued her law education at Columbia, she graduated in 1959.

Women's rights weren't very good weren't very good at the time so even thought she graduated from law school and had very good grades she wasn't able to find a job as a lawyer so instead she became a teacher at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Some of her students would ask her to explain women's equality and she discovered how unfair women's rights were, which helped fuel her interest in helping with women's equality. While working at Rutgers University she realised she wasn't being payed as much as her male colleauges, so her and all the other female teachers faught for equal pay. 

Soon after she started helping with other cases such as letting women, women with children and pregnant women serve in the military. Then she started the Women’s Rights Project for the American Civil Liberties Union, the movement argues for equality for ALL U.S. citizens, she ended up winning 5 out of 6 cases in front of the supreme court!

After that movement, in 1980 U.S. president Jimmy Carter appointed her to the court of appeals, but a few years later is 1993 president Bill Clinton appointed her to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ruth served on the supreme court everyday until her death on september 18th 2020.

      Sacagawea came from a shoshone tribe, born to a shoshone chief around 1788. When she was 12, she was kidnapped by an enemy tribe and then sold to a French-Canadian trapper.

She was only 16 years old, the only female in an exploration group of more than 45 people, she was ready to courageously make her mark in American history.

In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson bought more than 825,000 square miles of land from France which was called the Louisiana Purchase.

To explore this new part of the country, Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on a two-year journey to report on what they found. They needed local guides to help them through unknown territory. 
Sacagawea, a young Native American, joined them. 

When her husband was hired as a guide for Lewis and Clark’s expedition in 1804, Sacagawea also joined as an interpreter to talk to Native American people. on their 8,000-mile journey.
Sacagawea soon became a respected member of the group. 

She was skilled at finding plants for food and medicine to help keep the explorers alive.When a boat sank on the Missouri River as they were crossing into what is now Montana, Sacagawea saved important books and much-needed supplies. When they needed horses to cross rough terrain, she convinced a Shoshone tribe, led by her long lost brother, to give them some.

Sacagawea left the group to return to what is now Bismarck, South Dakota, before the triumphant return of Lewis and Clark to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1806. She received no pay for her services and died on December 20, 1812. But Sacagawea’s bravery and skill live on in the journals found about the expedition, which are full of praise for the 16-year-old Shoshone girl who guided the most famous American expedition of all time.

he had to face racism.  He also marched in the Civil Rights Movement with MLK Jr. As a child Lewis wanted to be a pastor.  He studied at the American Tech Seminary.  

John Lewis often got arrested for sit-ins against segregated restaurants. In 1965 when he was 25 he marched across a bridge for black people to have equal voting rights as white people. Lewis and MLK often had protests together. In 1987 Lewis became a congressman for Georgia. He served as a congressman from 1987 until his death on July 17 2020. ]]> 2021-03-23 16:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/campbell39/88koshdozm2lbwuz/wish/1343847169 Hypatia, by Mahalet https://padlet.com/campbell39/88koshdozm2lbwuz/wish/1349154591 Born around 350 A.D. in Alexandria, Egypt, to a famous mathematician and philosopher, Hypatia had more freedom than many girls and women because of her respected father. Most women didn’t study math or science, and they weren’t allowed to engage in politics. But Hypatia became one of the first women to study and teach math, astronomy, and philosophy.

Historians don’t know who Hypatia’s mother was, only that she grew up with her father, Theon, who wanted to raise the “perfect human.” To him, this meant someone who was physically and mentally healthy. So Theon taught Hypatia everything he knew about math, as well as how to be an influential speaker.

Hypatia worked with her father to update old textbooks with new information about geometry, algebra, and astronomy. She had a gift for breaking down complicated subjects into smaller pieces that were easier to understand. Because of this, their notes influenced mathematicians and astronomers for CENTURIES.

As an adult, students came from all over the city to learn math and astronomy from Hypatia. She was especially respected for teaching people how to use a portable device called an astrolabe, which measured the angle between the horizon and a star or a planet. For 200 YEARS, this device helped sailors figure out both the time of day and their location on the ocean.

Hypatia also applied mathematics to philosophy. She built on the ideas of Neoplatonism, a way of thinking based on the belief that humans form ideas from their experiences, just like how we learn 1+1=2 by putting a pair of socks together. Huge crowds attended her public lectures.

But her teachings introduced ideas that were different from Christianity, which was becoming the main religion people followed. When Cyril, a new Christian bishop, came to power in 412 A.D., Alexandria split into two groups. Cyril’s main rival was Orestes, the governor of Alexandria, who was friends with Hypatia. Believing that Hypatia’s philosophy influenced how Orestes governed the city, a group of Cyril’s followers killed Hypatia while she was giving a public lecture in 415 A.D.

Thanks to Hypatia, women had a public voice for the first time and proved that they could have intelligent thoughts just like men did. Her notes on math and astronomy helped modern mathematicians and astronomers come up with advanced theories that are still used today.

Leonardo da Vinci was born in Anchiano, Italy or Vinci, Italy. (Get it? Da Vinci? From Vinci?) As a child, outdoorsy Leo loved hanging out in nature.

Teenaged Leonardo moves to Florence, Italy, where he takes painting lessons. Using a technique called tempera, the artist mixes color pigments with water and egg yolk to make paint.


The genius starts scribbling down some 20,000 pages of ideas. (Can you say writer’s cramp?) He spells words backward and reverses each letter so his notes only look normal when reflected in a mirror. “Mirror writing” might have helped protect his ideas from snoops. 

Leonardo sketches designs of a flying machine. His blueprints make him the first know person to seriously study ways for humans to take flight.

He was asked by the Duke of Milan to paint a mural for a dining room, Leonardo creates "The Last Supper". People love the piece and Leonardo rockets to superstardom.

In 1503, he started to work on the Mona Lisa, famous for its eyes that seem to follow viewers wherever they move. Creepy. He worked on the Mona Lisa for 4 to 5 years. 

In 1516, asked to be King of France 's official painter, Leonardo goes to France, where he stays the rest of his life.

As a child, he was so lost in his daydreams about inventions that his parents and doctors ordered a test to check his hearing. At about the time of his parents' divorce, when he was 10, he developed an interest in computers. His mother is Maye Musk, a model and dietitian born in Saskatchewan, Canada but raised in South Africa. His father is Errol Musk, a South African electromechanical engineer, pilot, sailor, consultant, and property developer. Elon has a younger brother, Kimbal Musk who was born in 1972 and a sister, Tosca Musk who was born in 1974.After his parent’s divorce in 1980, he lived mostly with his father, a choice he had made 2 years after the divorce and very much regretted. Elon has become estranged from his father, who he has described as "a terrible human being... Almost every evil thing you could possibly think of, he has done”. At the age of 10, he developed an interest in computers while using the Commodore VIC-20. He learned computer programming using a manual, and by age 12, sold the code of a BASIC-based video game he created called Blastar to PC and Office Technology magazine for $500. He was bullied throughout his childhood and was once hospitalized after a group of boys threw him down a flight of stairs. He attended Waterkloof House Preparatory School and Bryanston High School before graduating from Pretoria Boys High School. Knowing it would be easier to enter the United States from Canada, Elon applied for a Canadian passport through his Canadian-born mother. While waiting for the documentation, he attended the University of Pretoria for five months. This allowed him to avoid mandatory service in the South African Military. Arriving in Canada in June 1989, he entered Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Two years later (in 1997), he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, with a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in economics from the Wharton School and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in physics. In 1994, he held 2 internships, one in Silicon Valley and the other in Palo Alto. In 1995, he was accepted to a Ph.D. program in energy physics/materials science at Stanford University in California. He dropped out of Stanford after two days, deciding instead to join the Internet boom and launch an Internet startup. In 1995, Musk, his brother Kimbal, and Greg Kouri founded web software company Zip2 with funds from angel investors. They housed the company at a small rented office in Palo Alto. The company developed and marketed an Internet city guide for the newspaper publishing industry, with maps, directions, and yellow pages. Elon says that before the company became successful, he could not afford an apartment and instead slept on the office couch and showered at the YMCA. They could only afford one computer, and, according to him, "The website was up during the day and I was coding it at night, seven days a week, all the time." Musk brothers obtained contracts with The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune,

Her country in France had been fighting England for 75 and, btw, she was 1412. When she was 16, even though she was poor and lived in a time when women were deemed to weak to fight in the military--and were thought too fragile to lead men--Joan came to believe that God had chosen her to lead her country to victory during what’s now known as the Hundred Years War.

By 1428, England controlled much of France, and the French king no longer ruled. So Joan persuaded a local government leader to escort her through English-held territory to meet with and convince King Charles VII to let her lead his armies and help him regain the throne. Legend has it that Joan knew details about the king that no one else did, and he came to believe her claim that God had chosen her to lead.

The king ordered the army to take back the city of Orléans, accompanied by 17-year-old Joan. She cropped her hair short like a man’s, donned a suit of white armor, and successfully helped French troops to victory in March 1429, even after being wounded in battle. King Charles then took back his crown a few months later. At the ceremony, Joan was at his side.

A few months later, though, Joan was captured in battle and held captive for more than a year. She was accused of witchcraft and the crime of dressing as a man. Not wanting to threaten his newly returned crown, the king didn’t come to Joan’s aid, and in 1431, when she was just 19, she was burned at the stake.

But beloved by France, she was officially cleared of her crimes 20 years later and became a Catholic saint in 1920. Today Joan of Arc remains the patron saint of France and a symbol of national pride.

Lessons: the 'King' is a cowardly traitor, the 15 century sucked for women and Joan of Arc is awesome.
