Poverty

The day just started and the boy came to his mom and told her. "Mom! I am hungry and cold, I want something to eat." Mom said.  "Well I don't have any food for you to eat so we will have to go outside and try to look for some".  It was so cold outside and they didn't have proper clothing to wear. "But mom it´s cold outside". They forced themselves to go outside and get some food so they can start their day.

This is how people in poverty feels everyday. They have no food or shelter, they often have to sleep on the cold dirty ground listening to their stomach grumble. How would you feel if you were in poverty? You would want to go back to the way your life was before you tried living in poverty. Did you know that a child born in the poorest countries has a 1 in 6 chance of dying before their 5th birthday? But in the rich countries the odds are about 1 in 165? Itś shocking how poverty affects us but,we could end poverty. The disparity between the world’s rich and poor has never been wider. Child poverty is high in developing countries. Nelson Mandela had once said “Poverty is not an accident. Like slavery and apartheid, it is a man made and can be removed by the actions of human being”. Millions are being forced to face a painful daily reality of poverty, conflicts and lack of food while on the other hand the people who have everything increase their greed for more. Hunger is endless and desperation is overwhelming. It is up to you and I to make a difference before the world’s population drown in an ocean of poverty. 

Tunnel vision

What I know

-The train is 1000 meters travels through the 3000 meters tunnel

- 30 seconds pass from the last car completely entered the tunnel

? Determine the speed of the train in kilometers/per hour?

When the train enters the tunnel: 3000- 1000= 2000

So there is 2000 meters left to travel in the tunnel. Since the engine need to travel 2000 meters in 30 seconds, I will calculate the speed of the train by dividing the distance traveled by the time required to travel the distance

2000 divided by 30= 66.7 

66.7 is the speed of the train in 1 second

66.7 multiplied by 60 (because there are 60 seconds in a minute)= 4002 is in 1 minute

4002 multiplied by 60 (because there are 60 minutes in 1 hour)= 240,120 in 1 hour

Now I need to find the distance traveled in 1 hour

240,120 divided by 1000= 240.120 km which is how much the train travels per hour

Answer is the train traveled 240. 120 km per hour

OR

3000-1000=2000 when the train enters the tunnel

The engine has to travel 2000 m in 30 seconds

2000 divided by 30= 200/30 m/s that is the speed of the train

Now I am going to convert minutes/ seconds to kilometer/ hours

200 m/3 s multiplied by 1 km/1000 km 

200 km/ 3000 km= 1 km/ 15 s

1 km/15 multiplied by 60 s/1 min multiplied by 60 min/1 hour= 3600 km/ 15 hour

240 km/ 1 hour

Answer : 240 km / 1 hour the train traveled

So either way the answer will be 240 km/ 1 hour the trains speed  

Art review

This is the picture that I have chosen to write my are review because I feel that it has a strong impact and I wasn't able to take my eyes off it. I think the other two didn't really gave the meaning of why I liked it and what I'd the story behind those pictures. The painting looks realistic with all the different ways of the use of paint and the brushes. The scene is very creative and it is showing how it is raining and how the people have an umbrella over their heads. I like how they made the lighting as if they were really there in real life and how they showed the ground wet from the rain. Overall I like the picture and the way they are expressing the picture in that certain scene.

This painting looks amazing because it shows how much effort the author has put in to the painting and how he tried to express what he was thing and how he wanted to show the painting. The reason why I like this painting is because it is not to extra and it is good the way it is with the scenery. The story behind it is that boy and a girl are walking towards the darkness in a rainy evening in the forestry area. I feel that is picture shows a very good amount of realistically because from the light reflecting to the puddles and the way they are showing how it would look when it is in the evening and it's raining.

I would love to know which art museum this painting is in because I would love to see why he had want to make this art piece and who inspired him. I would want to see some of his other paintings that he has done because I think he is very creative and realistic but while doing his painting it docents have a lot of extra stuff it is I fit has the good amount.

Overall, I think that this is a good painting because of how it is being shown, how they used the different style of paint and the material that they had. I like how they make their scenery with the guy and the girl walking down the forest on a rainy evening day. The work that has been done can be showed because he has the painting as if it was really happening because the whole painting is realistic. I like the colours that he had used. I would really want to go and see more of his paintings because by poking at this painting it shows that his painting are over filled but it is good with how it looks.

How would it feel to walk in space

I am going to space! OMG! I am so excited to see all the mind blowing things in space! I will give all the planets names and I will play with them. 5,4,3,2,1 blast off! I am in space now! I miss my mommy! Let me put on my helmet and go outside. The planets are so huge and sun is over 300000 bigger than the planet Earth.

It would feel amazing to walk in space because I will be able to see many incredible thing that are on space which we can't really see while being on the ground. I would be able to see the different planets (solar systems), stars, milky way and other things that are in space which I haven't seen while being on the ground. Being in space will let me know how to live without all the things I have such as a proper room to sleep in, a proper living space because you are floating half the time and when you are in gravity you are on the ground. Being in space will allow me to discover new things. In my culture, have a great job means having more respect for yourself, so if I walk in I will be having a proud moment to for doing something great. Once I reach space I will be famous for walking in space, and everyone will treat as the girl who walked in space.

Walking in space will be so amazing because I will be able to see amazing things in the mission and walk in space seeing all the planets, stars and I will be able to float around everywhere. Being in space will be so fun because I can get a bit taller being in space, when I cry my tears won't go down but it will go up. I will be able explore what the planets do and how the stars become so visible in the night time. I would be able to know all the answers to my questions because I have a lot such as "what are the plants/ stars made of?", "why don't we receive light from all the stars in the universe?" and many more questions that I really want to get an answer for.

Space will be a new life to live in because all the things I will do will be the opposite of what I would do while being on earth. Some of the things that  I will do will be either fun and some will be boring and I won't able to do the things I would normally do like watch tv, go outside and play with my friends. Some of the worst things about being in space would be it will get very lonely being in space. Being in space will teach me how to do things in many different ways such as working and floating and standing on the ground and working.

I think it would be a fun adventure to go in space and learn new things while on the other hand I would have no one to talk to and be all lonely. Walking in space will be dream come true. Its is very rare that someone will go to space for fun and to explore new things rather than doing a mission which will take a lot of time working on. So it would feel wonderful walking in space and seeing all the cool things that are around us which we can't really see while looking at the sky but when you discover it will be noticeable.

Sheep + sheep + sheep= 45

    ?     +     ?     +    ?    = 45

45/3= 15

So, 1 sheep is 15

Sheep+castle+ castle=21

15      +    ?    +   ?     = 21

21-15=6

6/2= 3

So 1 castle tower is 1 point 

Castle + candles=7

3         + ?          =7

7-3=4

So 3 candles are 3 points and 4 candles are 4 points.

Final- 

Candle +sheep+ castle=?

3          + 15    +    2     =20

So the answer is 20

You must love baseball

         Problem of the week

                Problem C

       You must love baseball!

What I know:

- 30 students in class

- 21 baseball fans

- 9 non baseball fans

- atleast 1baseball and non baseball fan is absent

- more than half the class is present

- asking baseball fan is 3/4

- find the LCM 

- 21/30 fans 9/30 non fans

- How many students were absent that particular morning?

Find the LCM

LCM for 21- 1,3,7,21

LCM for 9- 1,3,9

LCM for 30- 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30

3 is the LCM fOr all of the numbers

Some factors tht equal 3/4

12 / 4=3

16 /4=4

15/ 5= 3

20 /5= 4

18/6=3

24/6=4

The first 3 are possible solutions because it shows that 4,5,6 students are absent and is less then the half the class- 3/4.

21/7=3

28/7=4

This is not possible because it shows that there wee no baseball fans absent.

Conclusion

In conclusion I bed more information to find one answer to the problem because I am getting 3 possible solutions which are 4,5,6 of students begin absent that particular morning. So therefore, I have 3 possible solution and need only one that is correct for how many student are absent that day. I need Jay Fann to give me one or two more clues to get the 1 possible answer.

Green smoothies have a lot of benefits that is good for us for our everyday cycle and they can help us maintain our bodies. While having the green smoothie you are getting a lot of fruits and vegetables in you which is a good thing because if you don't eat 
much of fruits and veggies your getting the portion that need in that as smoothie. Once you start having a habit of drinking it everyday you will start craving for it, and will kind of forget the junk food, but maybe you would eat it once in a while which wouldn't really be bad.

Recipe for Green Smoothie




The ingredients that are in the smoothie:

• 1/2 cup fresh red grapefruit juice
• 1 cup destemmed dinosaur/lacinato kale
• 1 large sweet apple, cored and roughly chopped
• 1 cup chopped cucumber
• heaping 1/2 chopped celery (1 med stalk)
• 3-4 tablespoons hemp hearts
• 1/4 cup frozen mango 
• 1/8 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 tablespoon virgin coconut oil (optional)
• 3-4 ice cubes
• 1/2- 1 tablespoon algae oil (do not add to smoothie- take separately

Some of the benefits for this green smoothie is that you are getting good amount of protien for fruits and veggies, vitamin, fibre, and all the other healthy benefits that our body needs to get each and everyday so that we don´t  need to suffer cancer, diabeties, heart diesease and more.

• 1/2 cup fresh red grapefruit juice
• 1 cup destemmed dinosaur/lacinato kale
• 1 large sweet apple, cored and roughly chopped
• 1 cup chopped cucumber
• heaping 1/2 cup chopped celery (1 med. stalk)
• 3-4 tablespoons hemp hearts (I use 4 tbsp)
• 1/4 cup frozen mango
• 1/8 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 tablespoon virgin coconut oil (optional)
• 3-4 ice cubes, as needed
• 1/2-1 tablespoon algae oil (do not add to smoothie - take separately), optional

The fruits and veggies that you had put in are benificial because:

• Kale- low in calorie, vitamin c and k, superfood, fiber, and helps digest other food.
• Grapefruit- vitamin c, good for our liver, protects against cancer, boosts metabolism, and reduce kidney stone risk.
• Cucumbers- help digest food, flushes out toxins, cuts cancer, good for eyesight and has a lot of vitamins.
• Celery- has fibre, and vitamin a,c and k.
• Apples- fibre, helps balance blood sugar level, reduces cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. 
• Algae oil- omega 3 fatty acids, and helps cleans wastewater.
• Virgin coconut oil- lowers cholesterol, reduces heart disease, and boosts metabolism.
• Huller hemp seeds- protien and high on fibre.
• Mangoes- vitamin c, fibre, prevents cancer, eye health, and boosts immune system.

These are some of the reasons why green smoothie is very high in fibre.
