Hey Just Found Something Interesting!


I was working on a project before at school, and one day, I came across this site called worldometers. This site tells you about many things about the world, like how many people are born in a day, how many people die in a day, and many more... This may sound creepy, and a stalking on what happens in the world, but just look on the bright side of it, we get to know all of the statistics in one place, without scanning pages and pages of blogs, news, and journals trying to find a statistic of something in the world. Well they don't all of the statistics, they just have the most common things that we need to know for statistics on the world, not so much on certain topics.

Hello ALL!

I know its been a long time since i last posted something, put I have been busy with a lot of things, like homework. Due to my heavy load i didnt have time to post anything, so this post will just make up for it... I hope.

Ok, first thing up the list is

November 11: Remembrance day.

A poppy that was created for Remembrance Day
For those of you that don't live in Canada, or just have no idea what it is... This is a day where we all come together and think about all of the people that have lost their lives trying to keep Canada as a free country. On this very day every year we all wear poppies to remember those that have died. This is quite a huge event. Every School, Company, and even the city will help remember those who have died.

Letter To A Classmate (School Work)

Dear ___.  ______:

I am writing this letter to inform you about your editorial cartoon, and to give my opinions on what I think about it.

Your cartoon is very interesting, as it tells the readers that modifying genetics is very dangerous and risky to do. I think that the ethnical issue here would be to be very careful and take precautions before you do anything with genes and genetics. I do agree with the point of view that you have created that we have to take risks when modifying genetics.
For example, in your cartoon you have two scientists looking through the glass into the room with a whole bunch of crazy people, and thinking that they have failed to modify them and making them function properly. The way that you have drawn the cartoon helps with proving your point that modifying genetics could be hard to modify unless you know the right method to do it and have the right tools and technology to do so. Modifying genetics is not only risky but also very time consuming.


Thank you for taking your time to read this letter, and I hope to hear from you soon.





Sincerely,
___________
