Who Started Rainbow Loom?

The Inventor of Rainbow Loom

Wonder who invented Rainbow loom. This high selling fag gained high amounts of money, in a short amount of time. How? Well the true inventor was Cheong Choon Ng. He didn't do this alone though. His two daughters were part of the action too. Together the trio created what is now known as Rainbow Loom.This new product sold 1.2 million units from 2010 to September 2013! That is a lot! Unfortunatly, other company's like FunLoom and Cra-Z-Loom took the same idea, tweaked it and called it their own. Sales prices dropped slightly, and Cheong Choon Ng sued the company's. To find out more on Rainbow loom and Cheong Choon Ng go to the link below.

My Opinions

Personally I have used and continue to use Rainbow loom. i have tried other products, such as Fun Loom and  Cra-Z- Loom, but i think the Rainbow loom is the best. Others may have different opinions but from experiences with these products the original Rainbow loom is the best. It is slightly less sturdy than the other products, but that is, because it can be changed into other forms/figures, to make unique designs. Other company's didn't add that twist to their looms. There are other reasons people like and dislike the different loom kits. To find out watch the video below.

Who Invented Sticky-Notes?

Wonder Where Sticky-Notes Came From?

I use sticky notes a lot, so I wonder, who invented them? Well, in an article I read the author stated, "In 1968, Dr. Spencer Silver, a chemist at 3M Company, invented a unique, low-tack adhesive that would stick to things but also could be repositioned multiple times." This means the invention of Sticky- Notes, which are also known as Post-Its, is a mistake! Mistakes aren't always bad, I guess! Sticky notes are used in school, work and even at home. How? Well, they are used to give messages to others, when your not able to talk to them, and of course for other things.Interested? Keep reading to find out more. For more information on this from a different article go to the link below.

My Opinions

Sticky notes are useful. Don't you think? I think they are pretty easy to use too. Personally, I love using stick notes to remind my self what I have to do. They are great to stick on my desk when I need to check something. The best thing about them... in my opinion... is they don't peel of the paint on your wall, like some sticky products do. I love how easy sticky notes are to carry around too. they are small and easy to take places. For example, if you go shopping you could write what you need on a sticky note and put it in your pocket! It is so simple!

Nastia Liukin, a professional gymnast, an idol to young gymnasts, and a beautiful, friendly person. Nastia was a gold medalist in the All-Around at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She is the third female gymnast to have won 1st place at the Olympics ever, in American history. Nastia went through many injuries before becoming a star. Her coaches were her parents. She is originally from Russia and moved here at a very young age. Nastia is currently going to the New York University (NYU). Nastia is currently 24 years old. Her college got delayed because of her fame after the Olympics. Nastia has had, and is continuing to have an exciting life. 
  



My Opinions

Nastia Liukin is a amazing gymnast along with an amazing person. I actually met her when I was 10. She was at a gymnastics camp over the summer of 2012. When I met her she trained me and from the training I went through with her I can slightly tell how much hard work she must have put in to become such a successful gymnast. Also, as said in an article I read, "Nastia was already beginning to demonstrate a natural aptitude for gymnastics." (for a link to this article look below the Opinions section) Many people have different opinions about Nastia Liukin (A.K.A Anastasia Liukin) and express it in different ways. This is what I think about my idol and favorite gymnast.
