Olga Google Maps
Here is the information regarding the google.maps project I was working for a German presentation. I basically created a presentation-tour for Cologne and a short presentation for it. It was a great possibility to talk about several interesting places to visit in this city and was great for learning.
Here's what you need to do to create a presentation in google maps:
Login to your google account, and chose "maps" menu on the top, then go to Help menu in the upper right corner. Then go to Learn More ->My Maps -> What is my maps and how do I use it. When you do it, it should lead you to a tutorial video, which is really comprehensive.
For this specific project I searched for interesting places to visit in Cologne, and then opened Google Maps, chose the tab My maps, created a new map and used the tools in the upper left corner of the map to locate these places and denote directions from one place to another. When you are working on creating the map, you will see "More..." menu in the upper left corner of the map, you can use it to see photos, youtube items and wikipedia articles relevant to this place.
Generally, the whole process is not difficult, it just takes some time to familiarize with the tools necessary to build the map.

Jose's shift
I found help and steps how to format external hard drives
The original WDAnywhere Backup and Drive/RAID Manager software for both Windows and Macintosh can be downloaded from our registration page software download section. Directions for the installation of the software are also on the registration page. The WD My Book Studio, Studio II, My Passport Studio, and My Passport for Mac Edition external hard drives comes preformatted with a Macintosh based HFS+ partition. This file system is not compatible with Windows based computer systems therefore the hard drive will need to be repartitioned and reformatted if it is to be used under a Windows based computer system. Please follow the directions below to repartition and reformat the drives for Windows: For Windows 2000:
1. Right-click on My Computer.
2. Select Manage to bring up the Windows Computer Management interface.
3. Click on the Disk Management folder under Storage in the left-hand panel.
4. Right-click on the space (the external hard drive) you want to work with. This space is represented by a white box with a black bar on top listing the available space on the drive as Unallocated.
5. Select Create Partition. If you are unable to select New Partition or Create Partition from the options, this usually indicates that the drive is not initialized. You will need to initialize (write signature) the drive using the directions in Answer ID 1018: How to initialize (write a signature to) a hard drive in Windows XP or Windows Vista before being able to proceed.
6. The Welcome to the New Partition Wizard appears. Click Next to continue and select Primary. Click Next.
7. Select the size of the partition you wish to create and click Next.
8. At the next screen, select a drive letter to assign to the partition and click Next.
9. The Format Partition screen appears. On this screen you can select the file system, allocation unit size, and volume label you wish to create on the drive.
Note: In almost all cases, it is best to leave the allocation unit size at default. If you are not dual-booting and do not need to use this drive on a Windows 98 SE or Windows ME computer, it is also recommended that you use NTFS as the file system (you can also select FAT16 or FAT32). Dynamic partitions cannot be created on an external hard drive. The Windows 2000 and Windows XP Disk Management utility cannot support the format of a FAT32 partition larger than 32GB. Please refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 184006 for additional information.
10. Click Next to verify the process and the choices you selected.
11. Click Finish to complete the process.
For Windows XP and Vista:
1. Access Disk Management in Windows XP or Vista. From the Start Menu, Left click on the Start button, Right-click on My Computer or Computer, left-click on Manage, and then left-click on Disk Management.
2. In the lower window pane, you will see a list of available IDE devices. Locate the desired hard drive to partition and format. You should see a black bar indicating unallocated space for the drive.
Important: If there is no black bar shown (if the bar is blue), the hard drive currently has a partition. Please verify that there is no important data on the hard drive before continuing with the directions below. Right-click on the blue bar and choose the option to Delete Partition. The bar should then turn black indicating unallocated space.
3. Right-click on the black bar (unallocated space) to see a menu of available options. Select New Partition or New Simple Volume from the menu of available options. If you are unable to select New Partition or create partition from the options, this usually indicates that the drive is not initialized. You will need to initialize (write signature) the drive using the directions in Answer ID 1018: How to initialize (write a signature to) a hard drive in Windows XP or Windows Vista before being able to proceed.
4. The Welcome to the New Partition Wizard or New Simple Volume Wizard appears. Windows Vista users, please proceed to step #5. For Windows XP users, Left-click on Next to continue and select Primary. Left-click on Next.
5. Select the size of the partition you wish to create and left-click on Next.
6. At the next screen, select a drive letter to assign to the partition and left-click on Next.
7. The Format Partition screen appears. On this screen you can select the file system, allocation unit size, and volume label you wish to create on the drive.
Note: In almost all cases, it is best to leave the allocation unit size at default. If you are not dual-booting and do not need to use this drive on a Windows 98 SE or Windows ME computer, it is also recommended that you use NTFS as the file system (you can also select FAT16 or FAT32).

Please refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 184006 for additional information.

9. Left -click on Finish to complete the process.
