Mother Kills 4 Daughters

This article Woman Who Killed Her 4 Daughters Is Given 120 Years was about a woman, Banita Jacks, who killed her four daughters. The woman kept her four daughters, who were between the ages 5-16, in her house after she killed them for about seven months.This woman is now receiving 120 years in prison, 30 years for each daughter. The judge who sentenced her said, "this case will probably haunt me for the rest of my life", and I agree with him. In my opinion any woman who would kill her children and keep their dead bodies in her home for about seven months, deserves this sentence.

Geometry Concept-Line Segments

In Geometry, line segments are used all the time. A line segment is a part of a line that connects two endpoints. An endpoint is a single point indicating where a line segment or a ray ends. A line segment has two endpoints and a ray has one.

Find the line segment in the ray:If you said line segment FA.....you were right. It has two endpoints F and A, which means it is a line segment.

Air Pollution

If you click this link, Air Pollution, you will be directed to a site that gives you information about the air pollution data in the United States. i think this website is very informative and important because it lets you know how the air is in the United States. Also because it lets you know how polluted the air is. I reccomend this website to all people who care about their air and wants to know how polluted it is.

2012.....

If you click this link, Apocalypse 2012, you will be directed to a site predicting things about the year 2012. People say that the world is going to "end" in the year 2012. In my opinion, this may not be true because many people said that on June 6th, 2006(666) the world was going to end, but it didn't. I think this might also be true as well because the world is slowly coming to an end due to global warming and other things like tsunamis and hurricanes. I reccomend anyone who believes in this prediction to go to this site and read the post.

The Olympic Museum

If you click this link The Olympic Museum, you will be directed to the Olympic Museum website. This site lets you see a video of the different galleries in the Olympic Museum. From the looks of it, the museum is very nice and attractive. I will recommend this to everyone because the Olympics is a big part of the world, and if anyone love sports, this is the place to go to see different sports winners.

Different Train Transportions In The World

If you click this link Trains in the World, you will see many different types of trains in the world. These trains are all new and shows how much technology has increased. I think the best train is the one from Taiwan. The train is white with orange going around it. These new trains are very fast, as well. The train from Taiwan travels at about 335.5 kilometers per hour. There are many other train like this one, but this on, in my opinion, is the best. This website was very informative and i recommend this site to any other person who would find this fascinating.

My Schedule

Holiday Time

November is here. Its that time of the year, holidays are coming. Election Day, Veterans Day, and best of all THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!! I love Thanksgiving. Its a time to celebrate
with family. Aunt, uncles, mothers, fathers, grandparents, cousins, siblings all under one roof sharing the love. Well, actually I don't really like Thanksgiving because of the family that much, I like it for the FOOD. So much food is made for Thanksgiving, that there are leftovers for weeks. Chicken, baked ziti, baked macaroni, collard greens, etc. Just thinking about makes me hungry, so I am just going to stop talking about it. But, I will say I can't wait until Thanksgiving.

Flying With Amelia

Astronaut Shannon Walker will be flying into space next year, but she is not going alone. Shannon Walker will be taking a watch worn by the, famous female aviator, Amelia Earhart. Amelia Earhart wore this watch during her two trans-Atlantic flights. Shannon Walker says she is “very excited and honored to fly the watch” and hopes “that by flying the watch people will become interested in the continuing story of women in aviation, and perhaps draw some new pilots to the field.” I think that this is great because Amelia Earhart was the first woman pilot to fly solo and having a part of her with you when you fly, is significant. Shannon Walker is not the only one flying with a part of Amelia Earhart, Astronaut Randy Bresnik, who is the grandson of Earhart’s only authorized photographer, is taking a scarf of Amelia’s with him aboard space shuttle Atlantis as part of STS-129, scheduled to launch in November 2009. This website was very informative and i recommend everyone who wants to to read it.

Happy Halloween

Halloween...Some people say its the devil day,but I think its just a day to get free candy. On Halloween many people dress up as princesses, vampires, etc and go around screaming Trick-Or-Treat. On this day I usually go trick or treating with my sisters and get a lot of candy. I also think this day is a Cavity Day. On Halloween, remember have fun and scare as many people as you want. WOOOOOOO!!!!!!

The King of Pop

In July 2009 to March 2010, Michael Joseph Jackson was supposed to begin his comeback tours in London. Less than three weeks before the first concert was to begin, he died of a cardiac arrest. In a video of his rehearsals, he looked well and not like a man who was going to die in a matter of days.
I think this video shows that no matter how well you look on the outside it doesn't change the way you are or feel on the inside. I say this because Michael Jackson looked great at his rehearsals, but no one knew that he was taking pills. I also think that these concerts were going to be great because the rehearsals looked good.

My Temperament

In the beginning of the school year my computer class took a test on keirsey.com. It was a test to see which of the four temperaments we were. The Temperaments were Guardian, Rationalists, Artisans, and Idealists. Of these four I was a Guardian. Guardians are the cornerstone of society. They are the temperament given to serving and preserving our most important social institutions. Guardians have natural talents in managing goods and services, from supervision to maintenance and supply, they use all their skills to keep things running smoothly in their families, communities, schools, churches, hospitals, and businesses. The four different types of Guardians are Inspector, Protector, Provider, and Supervisor. Of these four I was an Inspector.Inspectors are super-dependable. Whether at home or at work, Inspectors are extraordinarily persevering and dutiful, when it comes to keeping an eye on the people and products they are responsible for. In their quiet way, Inspectors see to it that rules are followed, laws are respected, and standards are upheld.

Family

I have a large family...and we all live in the same house. I live with my mom, my dad, my 5 sisters and my brother. My siblings' ages range from 4 to 18. I have a sister, Justina, who is in pre-k, a sister in college, a sister in 11th grade, a sister in 5th grade, a sister in 6th grade, and my brother is in my grade, 9th. It gets annoying living with so many people at times, but it's fun not being the only child. I don't get my way all the time, but that's life.

Barack Obama Gets the Nobel Peace Prize

  President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize because of his "extraordinary efforts in strengthening international diplomacy and for taking landmark initiatives to create a nuclear-free world". 

This award has been given to many other Presidents including Theodore Roosevelt (1905),Woodrow Wilson (1919), Jimmy Carter Jr (2002) and former Vice President Al Gore. The Nobel Peace Prize is an award given to a person or an organization who has "done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, and for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."  President Obama has been the President for less than a year and he said in his speech, "I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize." Although he has not served at least a year as president, I think he deserves it because he has changed the world.

Traveling

I have never traveled anywhere out of  New York, but if i ever do, I would like to go to Florida, Barcelona, and Hawaii. I would like to go to Florida because I would like to visit Disneyland and I would like to see the beaches. I would like to visit Barcelona because I think it would be a nice place to visit. I would like to visit Hawaii because many people go there to surf, and I would like to learn how to surf.

My Favorite School Subject

My favorite school subjects are science, math, and computer. I like science because I enjoy learning about the body and different organs. I also like science because I like doing labs and the idea of using different chemicals and tools. I like math because I like learning about measuring angles, finding the values of variables and using different math vocabulary. I like computer because I use computers in everyday life, and being in a computer class helps me learn how to use it better.

Books I Recently Read

I recently read two books, the first one was "The Battle of Jericho" by Sharon M. Draper, and the second one was "November Blues" also by Sharon M. Draper. The first book, " The Battle of Jericho" was about a boy who wanted to be in a High School club called, The Warriors of Distinction. Everyone thought the Warriors of Distinction was the best club in the neighborhood, but they knew nothing of the intense hazing rituals the group used. The pledges had to go through a lot in order to get into the group. The final event was to jump out of a two-story window. Fourteen of the pledges jumped and the last one to jump was Jericho's cousin, Josh. When Josh jumped he looked like he was flying, but he lost his balance and fell on his head. Josh died on the way to the hospital and everything the Warriors of Distinction did was no longer a secret.
