Toastmasters Speech #7: Biofuel Takes Flight, Literally!

My Fellow Speakers and Environmentalists,

In the month of October, 2012, I joined a Speech Club and we are following Toastmaster curriculum. So far, it has been a great experience. For Speech #7, Research Your Topic, I did an informational speech on How Biofuel is Taking Flight, Literally. I hope this gives you information as well as help and tips on how to make your own speech. Enjoy! Here is my Two Minute Speech:

We have all heard of biofuel and how it will be the fuel of the the future as it is cleaner than fossil fuels and, unlike fossil fuels, we have a virtually unlimited amount of it but really, only 0.5% of people in America actually use biofuel in their vehicles and it isn’t pure biofuel, but a blend. But now, biofuel is taking flight, literally! On October 29th, 2012 the first 100% pure biofuel airplane has taken flight and flew for 90 minutes. The plane is called the “Dassault Falcon 20” and it is the first plane to run on pure 100% biofuel. The Dassault Falcon 20 twin engine jet took off from the Canadian capital Ottawa last month to test the new jet fuel for engine performance and emissions, aiming to make sky journeys less polluting. Several engineers were on board, monitoring the engines' performance and fuel burn, making a round trip to Montreal and back. Two companies—Applied Research Associates and Agrisoma Biosciences—have partnered with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) to develop a "sustainable source of renewable energy" for the commercial airline industry. While the Falcon was flying, a second aircraft, a Canadair CT-133 jet tailed the Falcon's October 29 flight, collecting emissions data from the lead plane's engines for analysis. The Dassault runs on a mustard biofuel which, according to “The Bio-Energy Site.com”, is made of two key ingredients which are variants of mustard seeds: Ida Gold and Pacific Gold. That’s what’s great about biofuel: it uses materials that we can keep growing and we won’t run out of. It is also cleaner which means it does less damage to the environment and has less emissions. The flight is also raising hopes for farmers whose mustard oilseed plants could be used for fuel. This is just the beginning as more and more ways are being created to increase the amount of energy biofuel produces and raise awareness to the public. The Dassault Falcon 20 also shows that biofuel can definitely be used in the future, and who knows, maybe someday we’ll be pumping some vegetable oil and mustard oil in our car. Thank You...

Geo-caching - High Tech Hide and Seek

My Fellow Speakers and Geo-cachers,

Geo-caching Logo
In the month of October, 2012, I joined a Speech Club and we are following Toastmaster curriculum. So far, it has been a great experience. For Speech #6, Vocal Variety, I did an informational speech on The Secret World of Geo-caching  I hope this gives you information on the game as well as help and tips on how to make your own speech. Enjoy! Here is my Two Minute Speech:

Geo-caching GeocacheEveryone enjoys a good ol’ game of Hide and Seek. Finding the best hiding spot, counting all the way to 10 and looking for your hidden friends have always been the fundamentals of this classic game. But now, a Group of Adventurers have taken it to a new level. How is this even possible? One word: Geocaching. Geocaching is a worldwide game which millions of people play. It’s like a sort of high-tech hide and seek treasure hunt hybrid. The goal of the game is to go around the world and find certain “geocaches”, capsules which contain a logbook, which other geocachers have hidden. All you need is a pen, a good eye, and a GPS Unit or a Smartphone. On the geocaching website, you can find the location, the difficulty level, and whether or not there is a trinket inside that you can trade with. You can also find information on what type of cache,  whether or not there is a trackable, that you can track online, and other information about what the geocache looks like and where it was hidden. This is a great game that allows you to have fun with family, get exercise, and yes, it’s really Adventure Time. Geocaching is a hidden world unknown by muggles, nope not non-wizards but non-geocachers. Geocaches can be any size and the real treasure is not what’s inside one of these, but that you found it. Another cool aspect of this game is the CITO (Cache In Trash Out) version. In this environmental version, you go around with a trash bag cleaning up while you find a cache. May not sound like fun, but whenever you’re with friends, it’s hard not to have fun ;) This game is capturing minds worldwide and makes for a great time with friends and family. I don’t know about you, but I am definitely part of the Geocaching movement and if you are interested, go to geocaching.com to get started. Make sure to tell them AJWizkid referred you. Ready or not, here I come. Thank you...

Hope this helped and make sure to join the secret world of geocaching...
