Basic Information...
Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor and businessman. It is known that Edison developed many devices in fields such as electric power generation, mass communication, sound recording and motion pictures. Surprisingly Edison didn't learn to talk until he was almost four years old and in 1954 at the age of seven, he had attended school for a short period of 12 weeks. The reason why is because he was a hyperactive child and prone to distractions, Edison's teachers could not handle him. His mother had then removed him for the school and tutored him at home until the age of 11. An interesting fact is that Edison even had a chance to improve his hearing (by an operation) however, he refused to take the option because he simply did not want to go through the difficulty of relearning how to channel his thinking in a noisier world. Then in 1876, he set up his first lab located in Menlo Park, California. This was the world's first industrial research laboratory. In some sense, this laboratory is also considered one of his greatest inventions. It was well equipped and is where Edison worked to change the world. Edison's first invention in Menlo Park was the tin foil phonograph. He was invited to demonstrate it to the president of the United States - Rutherford B. Hayes - in the White House.

What effect did he have on science today?
In my opinion, he had an effect on science today because he basically invented energy sources and how they worked. So basically when he made the light bulb he made history then.

Rice Burgers ๐Ÿ”

We are currently working on our design process for burgers in home economics. The key components are texture, colour, and flavor this means we have to make them work together. Today we made rice burgers and honestly they were actually pretty good. I found this to be quiet different because you think they wouldn't sound appealing but they were.

Child Soldiers ๐Ÿ”ซ

(Click On It To Make Text Bigger)


The Research 
In order to find out what child soldiers go through it was important to research and find different information with other sources of text. You have to always double-check if things are right because anyone can basically edit a piece of information to some make rubbish for others to believe. I also feel like it's so you can prepare and improve on what your answers are and to elaborate more.

You... At First Sight ๐Ÿงธ


As I was wandering around, the smell of fresh air and the luscious green grass
surrounding my every step. I saw a tree with flowers surround by it making it seem
like the flowers were guards protecting the trunk of the tree. As I pushed my way
over the pollen covered petals I let out a light sneeze and continued through the bush
of flowers. As I stumped over a root I landed face-first into the trunk of the tree.
As I rose from the uncomfortable position my body was I was face to face with the thing I
hate in the whole world, Jake. As I looked at him in disgust he returned the stare as I
scoffed and walked out of the flowers. He thinks he is so much better than people just
because his family is the wealthiest in the town doesn’t mean he can treat people badly.
He really annoys me and shoves me around a lot, he even took my food! He was new
and just moved to the area and from what my other friends had told me he sounds
like trouble.



It was a warm summer morning and my family decided to go to the park for a picnic
because they claimed we don’t spend enough time together because the man of the
house has too many meetings. As we were free to explore I spotted a tree in the
distance and thought that would be a good spot for shade. I had to push past and
trample over some flowers, some which had bees in them, I got to the other side
of the flowers. There was an interesting good smell which I picked up and decided
to lay down and just chill. I heard a noise coming through the flowers that surround
a tree and it ended up being Bella. She had just crashed into the tree’s trunk which
caused me to get up and see if she needed help. Soon enough I saw her looking
at me in disgust, what why? I just took her bone once because my family doesn’t give
me treats… I looked back at her with a soft and decided to turn around and walk back
to my owners, I just want to be friends with her.


Author Note:
This story is about two dogs meeting for the first time with one judging the other one with everything she has heard. This was a task for English and I decided to have a crack at this one and instead of people I thought it would of been fun to do dogs because no one knows what goes through their minds.

The Hunter Swoop ๐Ÿ—ž


Top Left Corner
Dull old grey clouds cover the sky bright gaze forming a cold, lonely environment, with a singular mountain rising at east at it's nearest point looking upon the narrow road up ahead. 


Top Right Corner
Patches of blue pushing in front of those grey winter clouds covering the east, more mountains at ease with white blankets over them, not a peep once heard for those miles of bushes in hope of something interesting to happen.


Bottom Of The Image
White fragile flakes laying upon the rough asphalt road, with the bright yellow details not touched by meters. 


Centre Of The Image
Stuck standing here looking upon those mountains wrapped up in blankets, waiting for visitors to see their nearest station while making imprints in the cold, tired road.

Drowning in a sea of stars, the only land in sight being the red and white strips. If the land leaves then the only other option is the be the pole to go down like a firefighter. 


Top Right Corner
Blended blue light and dark forming a smooth effect, just like the sea but calmer and no waves in sight, nothing filling it so it has all the limelight. Tops of the flags guard making sure the wind doesn't come and collect their designs.

Blue and white was the thing the stood out, welcoming people back from the crowd. Beach full of rocks, umbrellas, and people, who were ready to dive in for a swim, as the water contained mini ripples of waves. 


Centre Of Image
Hotels and buildings staked like books upon one another and across from the flags which waved proudly to the people below, sailboats passing by in the middle of the depths of the sea. Sailing across the dark blue set of water where one would get lost if they were to dare go in.

Smoking ๐Ÿšฌ

Image result for smoking

Smoking? Over 1 billion of the human race do it, cigarettes are smoked every day and due to 1 billion people who do it this is nearly 20% of the world's population in 2014. About 800 million of these smokers are permitted to be men. In fact, on average a person who smokes lifespan is 10 years less than a nonsmoker. So what really goes on in the world of smoking? Let's find out...




What does smoking do to your body?
Smoking is very harmful to your physical well being and mental well being. A single cigarette puts 5,000 chemicals into your body that enhances the risk of cancer. Also, stuff called tar ruins your teeth by turning them black/brown and your teeth begin to eat away your teeth causing cavities. Smoking also has control over your sense of smell. Why? Well because one it irritates the nasal passages often causing inflammation that affects a person's sense of smell. Smokers of cigarettes containing menthol (a toxic, colourless, flammable liquid alcohol) may also find it affects their sense of smell. According to studies, this is why many smokers are 'thin.' They simply cannot taste or smell anything so food does not taste good to them. The reason why smokers cannot taste is because their taste buds are less sensitive. Cigarettes also weakens the skin's blood circulation and can increase the likelihood of acne and other skin infection. Among women, smoking can increase the male hormone (testosterone) sometimes leading to excessive hair on the face and arms. Smokers also have bad breath and it can cause gum disease and cancer of the mouth and throat. Most people know that smoker's lungs are the worst thing that gets affected. The lungs get filled with smoke and it makes breathing more difficult and it feels like you are breathing with your hand over your mouth and nose. In my opinion smoking damages, your lungs the most and a smoker gets the risk of getting lung cancer (it increases). Also, smoking is way worse for blood flow/circulation (CO kicks off O2). Since smoking messes with blood it would also mess with the heart. Why? Well, it restricts the blood vessels making the risk of heart disease four times more likely and even higher risks of a heart attack. Nicotine the thing in cigarettes lowers your body's defense system against bad bacteria and can lead to higher chances of stomach cancer. For the woman who smoke this could mess with pregnancy especially if you are pregnant, you are exposing the baby to chemicals that could lead to the death of the unborn baby.

What are the long term effects of smoking?
The long term effects of smoking is something serious. Even if you quit smoking you will never return to how you or your body was before smoking (non-smoker.) One long term effect is breathing, your breathing gets bad because of all the smoke you have put into your body. Also, you have increased chances for cancer, heart attacks, strokes and brain damage. Another thing people experience is yellow teeth, tooth decay or even bad breath, loss of taste and smell, blindness, yellowing of white eyes and possible hearing loss.

Benefits of giving up smoking...
The benefits of giving up smoking is you let your body repair itself (the best it can) slowly. You also tend to not cough as much as if you were when you did smoke. The thing is with your body repairing itself this means there is a process of 20 years. Even after 12 hours without a cigarette, the body cleanses itself of the excess carbon monoxide for the cigarettes. The carbon monoxide level returns to normal (carbon monoxide is a type of gas or CO), increasing the body's oxygen levels to the blood circulation. Just one day after quitting smoking the risk of a heart attack begins to decrease.

Is vaping any better than smoking?
That's a simple question, no it is not good for your body but yes it is a little bit better than smoking. Vaping still has it effects especially on the lungs. Studies have shown that lung damage are in people who vape and even some deaths. The vapor contains harmful chemicals and very fine particles that are inhaled into the lungs and exhaled into the environment. To sum it all up Vaping may lead to lung inflammation (irritation) so it is still very bad for yourself and the body.

In general, smoking & vaping are bad for you.
Especially your health.
And the body.

Recycled Writing ๐Ÿ—‘️

My task for today and tomorrow before I go into a writing workshop for English, I have to recycle a piece of my old writing. Now I decided to go way back to when I was in primary school in 2016. This was 5 years ago and I would have been 11 and honestly, I would love to see how much as a person I have changed and improved in writing. My honest opinion is that I can plan stories out better and can imagine in my head the details/situation in a more clear complex. Let's see how I go...

Disclamier - This was written in 2016 so if it's cringy it will get better when I have produced the final project...
___________________________________________________________

The Orginal Text...
Imagine that you are sitting in the crowd at the opening ceremonies for the Rio Olympics this August. The ceremony has just started and all of the Olympic athletes are parading around the stadium in their uniforms when all of a sudden…
A firework went off its path and flew in the middle of the Area. As the police were clearing out the Athletes And The Crowed the fire work was almost to the ground! Screaming, Running, crying as people were pushing and shoving to get out of the Area. As everyone was out the police were running and running as soon BANG! The last cop jumped into the car park. The floor in the middle of the Area was a big hole which was too hot to touch. The floor was everywhere even the seeds the Athletes Planted into the small capsule. Some of the capsules with the dirt flew and made a mess on the seats. The next day the Olympics were still on but at a Different Area. Lots of people helped to clean up the mess it took 2 days and most of Brazil helped cleaned up. After the big clean up the Athletes Competed and New Zealand won lots of gold medals.
(Fun Facts The Olympics Games At A Cost Of US Dollars Was A Total Of 14.4 Billon Dollars)

A Little Opinion 
First things first which does annoy me is how the text isn't centered. You may think the uncentered text is fine but to me, it is a huge pain because I like things perfect (stupid I know) but that's just me. With this piece of text, I dislike how it seems so unrealistic and the writer doesn't feel like they are in their own shoes at the '2016 Olympics Games.' What I do like about it is how it gets to the point and how I included what would happen in that situation and some emotions. The changes I will be putting into this writing is to make it seem like a real event that has actually happen and you have just so happened to witness it. Now it looks like it's time to make this text better.
