Tech Tip: Browser Bookmarks

A book with a bookmark Source: Pixnio For this weeks tech tip I decided to talk about Browser Bookmarks. Browser bookmarks is an extremely useful tool if you visit the same site often. To make a bookmark, all you have to do is click the store in the URL bar and save it with a name. I usually bookmark sites such as canvas, which is use everyday for school, and also my email because I check it often. Browser bookmarks has saved me so much time in school because I can just simply click to these sites instantly. One little tip I would recommend is to have bookmarks to each class page that way you can pull them up at any point in time.

Now leaving the village may seem scary with wild beast roaming the jungle especially at...

The rest of the story is the woman explaining how she became what she is today.

While in the jungle the woman had no fear and would travel for days eating fruit she found and would sleep under a tree each night while wild beast would watch over her. Day afater day this continued until she ran into another village and by this time she had cooled off with her hatred from men. The woman went into this village and told them about her journey within the jungle. The village was in awe and provided her with many gifts and...
