A vibrant explosion of colours,the river that ran away from paradise. Caño Cristales is located in the Serrania de la Macarena province of Meta. It is 100km (62 miles) long. The mouth of the water is located at Guayabero River, and Losada River. The source of the river is located at Serrania de la Macarena. The river is often called 'Liquid Rainbow' or 'River of Five Colours'
What gives this river it's vibrant colours?
The colour of the river is due to a wide variety of aquatic plants, these plants are called Macarenia Clavigera. Normally the colours of the plants are red, yellow, green, blue, black and most prominent red. These plants usually sit at the bottom of the river. You are able to see these plants because the water lacks nutrients and small particles this makes the water transparent.
Where do the rocks come from?
The rocks from the Serrania de la Macarena were formed approximately 1.2 billion years ago. They are an extension from the Guiana Shield of Venezuela. Wherever there are stronger currents the plants stick tightly to the rocks.
Can I swim in this river?
You are able to swim in this river because all the plants are at the bottom of the river. In designated swimming areas you are not allowed to wear sun protection lotion or bug spray.The algae is very sensitive and chemicals in the products could damage it. Also, you are not allowed to swim in areas with algae.This is because they want to conserve the species.
Before planning a trip you should consider different weather factors that might affect the color of the plant. For the best experience go on sunny days between late July and December. Also book tickets in advanced because their are a certain amount of people allowed in the river at once. You might need to get vaccinated against the yellow worm disease.
No, the yellow worm fever doesn't only affect those who swim in the river. However, there are more mosquitos near the river because it acts as their breeding ground.
Hallucinations are a perception in the absence of external stimulus that has qualities of real perception. There are many types of hallucinations that affect all 5 of your senses. Hallucinations are vivid, substantial and are perceived to be located in external objective space.
Hallucinations can be caused by mental illnesses like Depression and Psychosis. Also, illegal drugs like amphetamines, cocaine, LSD or ecstasy. Prescribed medications have many side effects, one of them can be hallucinations. Physical illnesses like epilepsy and alcoholism can also result in hallucinations.
There are six different types of hallucinations, all effecting a different sense. Visual Hallucinations involve seeing things that aren’t there; that can be object, visual patterns, people or lights. Visual hallucinations affect your sense of sight. Olfactory Hallucinations involve your sense of smell. You may smell an unpleasant odor when waking up in the middle of the night, you may also feel that your body smells when it really doesn’t. Gustatory Hallucinations are similar to olfactory hallucinations, but it involves your sense of taste. These tastes are often strange or unpleasant. Auditory Hallucinations are among the most common type of hallucination. You might hear someone speaking to you or telling you to do certain things; these voices may sound angry or very soft. Tactile hallucinations involve the feeling of touch or movement in your body. For example, you may feel like bugs are crawling on your skin or that your internal organs are moving around. Lastly, temporary hallucinations are not chronic, for example, they might occur if a relationship has just ended or if someone had just passed away. You might hear the person's voice for a moment or slightly see his/her figure. This type of hallucination goes away as you grieve.
Can Hallucinations cause physical pain? Hallucinations of pain and touch are very rare in schizophrenic disorders but 20% of patients may experience some sort of tactile hallucinations along with visual and auditory hallucinations. Hallucinations aren’t something to joke about, if you think that you are seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling or tasting things, consult with your doctor to discuss the right way to pursue with your state at mind.

There has been a long feud between Xbox players and Playstation players. In terms of performance and connection, the Xbox and Playstation are virtually the same. The Playstation controller has many features that the Xbox controllers don't. The controller consists of clickable touch pads, a multifunction light bar, outward curving triggers, and even a little speaker on the controller itself. The Ps4’s handles are a little longer so they tend to fit gamers with bigger hands better. In terms of apps and UI, both Xbox and Playstation have the same variety. The last thing to consider is the exclusive games that come with either console. Xbox`s exclusive games consists of games like: Halo, Forza, Cuphead, and Gears of War. While Playstation users have access to exclusives like: Bloodborne, the God of War saga, the Ratchet and Clank saga, Infamous, The Last of Us, and Street Fighter V.
In conclusion, both consoles have a lot to offer and both bring a lot of different features to the table. One console isn't better than the other. At the end of the day, personal preference rules above all else. I personally believe that both consoles are relatively similar but what would determine the right console for you would be your own personal preference.
In short, coding is what allows technology to display things like data.Going more in depth,computers understand two types of data, on and off,so code is transistors switching on and off.There are also many different languages in code, used for different things that technology can do.Like typing, gaming, and more.These include Javascript, and Python. There are also different codes, popular ones include morse code, and binary code morse code is made up of two shapes circles, and rectangles,while bianary is the numbers 0 and 1.Coding originated back in 1206 ad with a musical instrument.Modern programming is a lot different since the invention of computer.Coding requires you to memorize a couple hundred commands, and also some grammar.If code is written incorrectly, an error message will show, or the program might freeze, and you could lose, lose or expose your data.
There is also something called debugging,a bug is something that happens that is not supposed to, so people go into its code and rewrite it to fix it.Code is very important for us today since we use technology so much, and technology and important.Coding is the reason we all can use our tech to benefit us.There are also many places you can learn code.Examples are: Dedicated coding classes, online articles and step by step instructions,asking people who code. You also can learn by yourself, on your own, but it might be a bit hard, and you mide need some help.Coding can be very challenging at first, but the more that you study, and practice the easier it will get.Knowing code is very useful, and beneficial in my opinion. That is my genius hour research on my topic that is coding.
this genius hour was one of my personal favorites, because coding is something that i am very interested in my self and you did a good job explaining how it works and how the things we use to day is all code and numbers
What is the the three strikes law? The three strikes law is when a someone commits a horrible crime and goes to jail and then commits another crime which leads to more jail time , and if they commit a third crime they will go to jail for life. Life sentence is only given after the third crime unless you live in certain USA states which may cause you to have a death penalty.
To this day only 28 states of the United States use the three strikes law. Unlike Canada we operate under the dangerous offenders rule which is similar to the three strikes law except your granted immunity from time to time. The reason all the states don't use this law is because of how biased the court can become because of the past laws the person has broken.
This law was invented in 1993 by California State to try and reduce crime rates but that didn't work so they had to get the president to pass the law and so in 1994 on March 7 Former president Bill Clinton passed the three strikes law and was edigble for any state to use this law. For states to use this law the state had to vote on this law and the results shows as 72% agreeing and 28% not agreeing.
The cetian types of crimes that could make you go under he three strikes law is murder, rape, sexual assaults, racketeering, kidnapping, and more. Another reason this law was made is because allot of high profile killers were finishing the sentence and commiting more crimes and they couldn't give life sentence because they usually commit the same crimes.
Overall I think this is a good law because it does keep us more safer if the criminal attempts to commit another horrible crime.
The history of iPhone began with a request from Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs to the company's engineers, asking them to investigate the use of touchscreen devices and tablet computers (which later came to fruition with the iPad).Many have noted the device's similarities to Apple's previous touch-screen portable device, the Newton MessagePad. Like the Newton, the iPhone is nearly all screen. Its form factor is credited to Apple's Chief Design Officer, Jonathan Ive.
In April 2003, at the "All Things Digital" executive conference, Steve Jobs expressed his belief that tablet PCs and traditional PDAs were not good choices as high-demand markets for Apple to enter, despite receiving many requests for Apple to create another PDA. He believed that cell phones were going to become important devices for portable information access, and that mobile phones needed to have excellent synchronization software.At that time, instead of focusing on a follow-up to their Newton PDA, Jobs had Apple focus on the iPod. Jobs also had Apple develop the iTunes software, which can be used to synchronize content with iPod devices. iTunes was released in January 2001. On September 7, 2005, Apple and Motorola released the ROKR E1, the first mobile phone to use iTunes. Jobs was unhappy with the ROKR, feeling that having to compromise with a non-Apple designer (Motorola) prevented Apple from designing the phone they wanted to make. In September 2006, Apple discontinued support for the ROKR, and released a version of iTunes that included references to an as-yet unknown mobile phone that could display pictures and video.
You did a good history of apple, going into the making of the original IPhone, but I think you should have talked more about the other IPhones, and maybe about apple's early products, like their computers, and the Macintosh.Also about modern apple products with the IMac.
you did a very grate job on your apple topic and i think that your should talk more about the models because the models also may interact with your topic
I personally think smoking in general is already destroying your life span and drinking alcohol is even more hazardous for alcohol even those who are in recovery.Because years of heavy drinking damages or weakens the body's systems, alcoholics are more susceptible to the dangerous than other smokers. But smoking alswell they destroy your lungs and bring in you a condition where you will have to die because of the nicotine. Smoking can also bring up Coughs, colds, wheezing and asthma are just the start. Smoking can cause fatal diseases such as pneumonia, emphysema and lung cancer. Smoking causes 84% of deaths from lung cancer and 83% of deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. But drinking people who are chronic drinkers of alcohol have a higher risk of heart-related issues than people who do not Women who drink are more likely to develop heart disease than men who drink. So i personally or an outsider think like drinking is way more unhealthy and less life span.
The dark web is a world wide web which exist on darknets and overlay networks that use the internet but require a specific software, configuration or authorized access. It is often confused with the term deep web which are the parts of the web that are not searchable in a search engine. Darknet websites can only be accessed through networks such as Tor and I2P. The darknet encryption technology routes user identify and also guarantees anonymity. The transmitted info can be decrypted but only by a subsequent node in the scheme that leads to the exit node. This complicated system almost makes it impossible to reproduce the node path and decrypt layer by layer.
As you might know the dark web can also be used for illegal trades, media exchange and forums for the pedophiles and terrorists. While this is happening traditional websites have made alternative accessibility for the Tor network in the effort to come in contact with their users. Other dark web sites are Silk Road and its offspring. This site was used for selling and purchasing recreational drugs and other horrible stuff like guns. The dark web is used to hide online activities like fraud, abuse, hacking, ect.
This genius hour is very interesting. i like how you talked about ways to access the dark web and the differences between deep and dark web,but you should have talked about the consequences that you may receive from going on the dark web.
i like the part where you were always on topic on attached with the topic called THE DARK WEB and i like the part where u were very specific about ur stuff and stayed on your topic
Sensitive dependence on initial conditions aka the butterfly effect is the theory that everything we do now will change the future drastically. And not just our future, everything we do can affect something so insequential like the color of your room to something as imperative as the fate of our world . This is also what we call chaos theory, the non deterministic chaos that can be caused by something as small as a butterfly flapping its wings. Hens it's name.
Now your problebly confused what I'm talking about so I'll give some examples. In 1914 June 28 the Archduke of Austria Franz Ferdinand and his wife were in a streetcar going somewhere when there vehicle was attacked by a grenade but It miss fired and hit passengers behind him instead. Latter on Franz and his wife were going to visit those who have been wounded in the accident and on there way there him and his wife were gunned down by 19 year old gavrilo princip. And soon after Austria declared war against Gavrilo’s home country, which led Germany to declare war on Russia which in turn made France declare war on Belgium. And all of this happened because the driver took one wrong turn on to a different street. You see if the driver wasn't being Carles and took the right street franz and his wife would not have ran into Gavrilo and would have lived to Visit the people in the hospital, and ww1 would have been postponed, and chances are it probably would have played out extremely different.
Now I'll give you a more fictional scenario. Let's say you walk into work one day and your boss tells you he wants you to use a time machine for him so he can see what the outcome would be. So you use it and while your back in time you accidentally step on a bug. That right there would have had a major impact on your future. So you go back and now things are different, your boss is now a new person, the poster on the wall is now different, and your clothes have completely changed as well. What you did there was destroy your previous reality, just by you stepping on that bug.
Now that example is exaggerated but it's a good way of explaining how the butterfly effect works. My favorite way to explain it is, it's like a game of jenga. If you went back in time and moved a different block each time your outcome would alter substantially. You reading this right now has altered your future, you might have not even bothered reading this and ended up doing something completely different. And you wouldn't even know what chaos theory is.
Basically everything you do on your day to day life doesn't just impact you, it impacts the whole world. Like edward lorenz the founder of chaos theory says “ Tiny changes in a big system can have complex results”.
This is a very interesting topic,and it is crazy to think about,especially when every little thing, like me writing this comment can affect the future.I think you did a great job explaining it.
So everyone knows this cube as a puzzle and a fun little brain teaser but that's not the only puzzle their is their are puzzle like a void cube or a pyraminx,well those are not just the only puzzles around the world their are many more but this is not the reason why i picked this topic is how we also make a community with and aspect of cubeing. their was a fact i read from rubiks itself said "atleast over 350 Million cubes got sold when it released and 5.8 of the world populations can solve it.the creator of this cube was erno rubiks,he started by invented this toy and is was also called the magic cube back then in 1980 and ever since it came out that year he has won the award for the bestselling toy of the year between 1980 and 1981 and then from this day he has made tons of can with over 350 million people buying his product.
NBA 2K19: NBA 2K19 is a basketball simulation video game developed by visual concepts and published by 2K sports, based on the national basketball association. It is the 20th installment in the NBA 2K franchise and the similar to NBA 2K18.
Release date: September 7, 2018
Personal opinion on 2K19: My personal opinion on this game is great. Maybe sometimes, it can be annoying like miss open threes when your player has like an 89 three, glitching through players and animations where it makes your player do bad plays, all of that can be annoying but other than that, it is a really good game.
Reviews from people around the world: People rate it a 4.7. one person said; "A masterful work of graphics, game play and buckets. NBA 2K19 is such a great game for basketball and video games lovers alike." Another person said; "Same, but worse. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this game but I have issues with it, so I sold it today; to frustrated. It is the same game as last year with new rosters in play now". On IGN.com, it is rated 8.5/10, 5/10 on steam, and 4.5/5 on Game rant.
Classmate point of view: One of my friends play 2K with me and he said that it is really fun but sometimes it is annoying, like with all the giltching and and all that type of stuff.
In 2013, two belgian twins, bron deaf, found out they were going blind. They believed they now had nothing to live for and asked to be euthanized…
Euthanasia is defined as deliberately ending a life to end suffering. The word itself is derived from a greek word meaning “good death”. The term was first coined in ancient greece when people suffered from incurable diseases that were so painful, they opted for death. When medical treatments failed to cure, patients consumed hemlock- a highly poisonous flowering plant.
Euthanasia is similar to suicide, but in its case, people believe death ends suffering not a life, for those who need it. It is quite common in animals, and people argue it should be legal for humans too as the value of life should be the same amongst all species. Animal euthanasia is delivered by a lethal injection of sodium pentobarbital and is quick and painless. In humans, pentobarbital can cause death by respiratory arrest.
There are several ways for euthanasia to be carried out including drugs, injections, starvation and dehydration, gases, and do not resuscitate orders. Several countries refuse to consent to any of these while others permit it, as long as it meets certain conditions. Some nations have passed laws to legalize this process, while others do not recognize it.
On April 1, 2002, the Netherlands became the first country to legalize euthanasia under some conditions. Medical specialists now have the permission to give patients a lethal injection to rid them of their suffering. The United States only allows certain licensed doctors to administer lethal medication to those who meet the criteria. India has recently allowed doctors to pull the plug of life support systems such as ventilators or respirators and LVADs. A few countries have laws that do not support euthanasia, but instead support “active assisted suicide”. In this, patients must handle the medication themselves as medical assistance is not permitted.
Process: The decision to go ahead with euthanasia can only be taken by the patients, children, parents and spouse. In some cases, closest relatives can make the call and if none are available, it is up to the doctor The high court must then give a seal of approval in order for the doctors to carry out the procedure Doctors are consulted to make sure there is no hope for the patient
PROS: Ends pain and suffering The right to choose life or death if the patient knows they will never get better Saves funds for other patients Equipment can be provided to another patient
CONS: Religious and ethical constraints Negative mental effects on family members, friends, and the doctor who pulled the plug
One of the biggest debates in gaming today, PS4 controller (Dualshock 4)or Xbox one controller. Every player has their own preference but, which one is really better. Let’s get started.
Battery: The Dualshock has a built in battery (that you cannot take out), while the Xbox has a compartment where you can put batteries you buy in store. The battery in the Dualshock can be a problem for gamers that do long gaming marathons cable-free because you can’t take the battery out and replace.
Build: The build of the Xbox one controller is much bulkier that the PS4 controller which makes it better than the PS4 controllers build, because it makes the controller easily fit into your hand. So the Xbox controller fits into your hand like a puzzle piece.
Analog sticks: While the PS4 controllers analog sticks parallel from each other the the Xbox controllers diagonally across from each other, gamers have their different preferences for this though, but the Xbox controllers analog sticks on the Xbox controllers analog sticks are known to have better grip because of micro-textured edges. Also the PS4 analog sticks are known to rip sometimes.
Directional Pads(D-Pads): All four directions on the D-Pad for the Xbox controller are connected so at times it could be confusing because their all connected so it makes it a little difficult to know which one is which. With the PS4 controller the buttons on the D-Pad are separated so it makes it easier.
Shoulder Buttons: The Xbox controllers shoulder buttons make a clicking sound some gamers may find annoying. The PS4 controllers shoulder buttons also make a clicking but it makes less noise and is softer.
Triggers: The Xbox controller triggers are bigger and are more comfortable to hold for longer periods of time compared to the PS4 controller.
Additional features: The PS4 controller hands down has more additional features than the Xbox one controller including touchpad, light bar, built in speaker and motion sensor. The Xbox controller does a cool feature that you use online, you can design your own controller online (colours not build). .
I personally prefer the Xbox controller mainly because of the build I think it's much easier to grip and fits the shape of your hand better. So if you play video games what your preference and why?
i think you did a good job on this rasheed. i like how u broke down almost every aspect of each controller, i can tell you where very determined to figure out what controller is best.
I like your topic and you did very well writing them down.But for myself I find the ps4 controller easier to use because i got used to it and i always know where the x button is r2 button and others.
Samsung and iPhone are on of the most successful phones in the world.But Which one is more better,more comfortable to use or more durable.
Creator of Samsung:Lee Byung-Chul Creator of iPhone:Steve Jobs
HISTORY
SAMSUNG:Samsung is an android operating system.And the first phone ever made was in 2009 June 29 and that was like 10 years ago.The first samsung phone ever made was called Samsung GT-I7500.5 million people bought Samsung Galaxy S in 2010.
IPHONE:iPhone is an apple based phone.The first Iphone ever released was in January 9, 2007,and it was called iPhone 2G.That was 12 years ago, 2 years before Samsung was released.In 2007 when the first phone came out it cost $599 and it also had 8GB but in the holiday to make the phone more affordable they lowered the price to $399.But these days the phone cost $2000 or more which is incredible because it’s way more expensive than iPhone 7.But the iPhone 2G is useless nowadays, anyways.
PROS AND CONS
SAMSUNG AND iPHONE HAS ONE THING BETTER THAN EACH OTHER AND ONE THING THAT THEY DON’T EVEN WANT TO COMPARE OR TALK ABOUT.
SAMSUNG:
PRO(DURABILITY):Samsung has a very tough durability and doesn’t bend easily.The most durable Samsung is Samsung Galaxy S8 and it was made in 29 March 2017 which means it’s been 2 or 3 years that the is still the most durable Samsung ever.And it’s the 6th most durable phone in the world.
CON (Battery life):This is a common problem people find out on Samsung’s their battery life.The people who created Samsung Galaxy S9 isn't as good as they hoped it would be because it has a battery capacity of 3000mAH which is the same as Samsung Galaxy S8 but worse because the CNET video drain test average is 15 hours for S9 but for S8 it’s 16 hours.
PRO(BATTERY LIFE):iPhone has a pretty long battery life.The iPhone with the best battery life is the iPhone XR, it has a talk time of up to 25 hours long, if your using the internet well that will be 15 hours,if playing a video the battery life will stay up to 16 hours and finally if your listening to audio playback the battery life can last up to a whooping 65 hours!!!
CON(Durability):Researchers say that iPhones durability is doing poorly but to be safe if your using the old iPhones then it wouldn't be a problem if you dropped it from 4 feet but 5 feet or higher the screen of the iPhone would get damaged a little bit.The iPhone with the best durability which is iPhone XS still failed a drop test by many people.In one of the videos in the first test a guy dropped the iPhone XS from six feet back and front and then the glass protecting the screen got shattered and then in the case the iPhone got malfunctioned.
STORAGE SPACE DATA AND RAM
SAMSUNG:Samsung Note 9 that is $999.99 has 128GB of space and 6GB of RAM.And Samsung Note 9 that costs $1249.99 has 512GB of space and 8GB of RAM.The Samsung Note 9 has twice as much storage capacity as the iPhone X.
iPHONE:iPhone XR has three choices and they are 64GB for $749, 128GB for $799 and 256GB for $899.
iPHONE:iPhone 5S 32 GB will cost you $399.iPhone 7S 32GB cost $569.99.And the iPhone S9 costs around $800.
LATEST PHONE
SAMSUNG:Samsung Note 9 is the newest Samsung created so far and it’s very good.The battery capacity is 4000mAh and it has an bluetooth-enabled S pen.The Samsung Note 9 has a water carbon cooling which means if the samsung is in a high hit temperature it’s feature is designed to cool down the overheating down by 21%. Also the camera of note 9 has things like super-slow motion,night camera and much more.A Note 9 has a wireless charging hub and it could be useful in many ways.
iPHONE:iPhone XR is the newest iPhone created so far and it’s also very good.It has a bigger screen size of 6.1 inch, and it also has lots of new colours of its type.The battery its has it’s also way better than iPhone 8 plus because you can use it 1.5 hours longer than 8 plus and it lasts 15 hours long on the internet usage.
This rivalry has been going on for years, I don't think it's fair to compare the XR, with the Note 9, You should have used the XS Max, to compare, since the Note 9, and XS Max have similar specs.
It has been proven to be more Us Adults who are obese than who are just overweight,In america it has been said that there is over 30% percent obese men in america.
Overall amount of obesity around the world,it has been proven that there are 30% of humans are Obese That's almost 2 billion people And it is growing as we speak.
Why is obesity so common?
One of the main reasons why Obesity is so common is because of the consumption of many foods that contain a lot of many fats and sugars,all though some people think this is good when burning it off after eaten.Most Obese people don't burn it off by doing any physical activities so it stays in there body which leads to bad health and numerous body problems.
Who has more risk of getting obesity
a person who has obesity in there genetics is more likely to get obesity.They are also more at risk at getting obesity if there family has various problems such as diabetes,heart problems and etc.
The amount of people who have died each year cause of obesity is a high whopping 2.8 Million.
Old alton bridge also known as the goatman's bridge is an iron tissue bridge with a old legend connected to the bridge. Built in 1884 the Old alton bridge had cared horses and cattle across. The bridge got its name from the abandoned area.It remaned in use till 2001 when the city made an new bridge and left the other bridge unknown. The bridge is known as the goatman's bridge, due to a demonic spirit on the same name, who is belived to live in the surrounding forest area.The ledgend took back to an colord goat farmer who moved his familly north of the bridge. the success of a colored man was still unwelcome to some of the klansmen in the area, they later turned to violence when the farmer put up a sign that said "this way to goat mans". in augest 1938 klansmen crossed the bridge and killed the farmers familly, when the looked over the bridge to see if he was dead, the rope was emptiy and the klansmen ran off the bridge. the locals warn you than of you go over the bridge at night without headlights you'll be met an the other side by the goatman. credits to: wikipedia and Buzzfeed unsolved; supernatural
The Arctic is warming, it isn’t an assumption but it’s a fact. In 2017 the air temperature was 1.6degrees celsius above average. The Arctic is a massive area spanning 14 million square kilometres. The Arctic is filled with natural resources but it’s a harsh and ice filled area place. The Arctic is far from economic activity for example, the Canadian territory of Nunavut has a GDP of $2 billion despite it accounting for 21% of Canada’s land area it only makes up 0.13% of Canada’s GDP.
Tourism is 1 of 2 sectors for the economy in the Arctic. Finland’s Lapland region has seen double digit tourism growth over recent years, people fly there to go to santa claus village. About 44% of arrivals come in december and january making traveling to Lapland highly seasonal. Almost all Arctic places have accessibility issues. A flight from Copenhagen (Denmark) or Reykjavik (Iceland) to Nuuk (Greenland’s capital city) costs at best $800 USD. A flight from Toronto to Greenland costs about $1500 to $2500 CAD, with that amount of money you can fly all the way to Sydney Australia a distance that is 16000 KM, whereas from Toronto to Nuuk it’s about 3000 KM. Cruise ships are another way to get into the Arctic due to warming conditions. Pond Inlet a town of 1617 people in Nunavut saw 18 ships in 2018 accounting for 3,200 passengers. The local government runs programs to develop businesses to help cater all these tourists. Pond Inlet earned $250k in docking fees in 2018.
Natural resources in the arctic. The Arctic holds about 13% of the world's undiscovered oil about 90 billion barrels and worth more than $4 trillion. The problem is that it makes no sense to drill oil in the Arctic right now because to drill a barrel of oil in the arctic $78 and at current rates barrels sell for $46. Russia holds a lot of the Arctic’s other resources like phosphate, aluminium, iron ore, and nickel. Russia produces an average of 11 million tons of phosphates accounting for 8% of the global output. Russia also extracted 3.85 million tons of aluminium, constituting 9.3% of the global output. It also mined 100 million tons of iron ore. 6.25% of the world production. A Russian company by the name of Nornickel leads the world in nickel production. Out of the 1.5 million tons of nickel produced in the entire world, about 300k was mined by Nornickel. Some other large mines include the Diavik Diamond Mine in Northwest Territories, Canada, Red Dog Mine in Alaska, and Sevagruva, Svalbard, Norway.
The Arctic has a pretty big area of 15,558,000 square kilometers (6,006,977 square miles). Its population isn't too big as it holds about 4 million people. The Arctic’s economy is rising because of a warming climate, the problem is that you have to sacrifice one or the other, the economy or the climate. This can become a big issue but for now things are a bit calm and hopefully will continue to be.
Youtube is an american video sharing website invented by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. It was made on February, 14th, 2005 and the first ever video was uploaded on April, 23rd 2005.

What are we talking about when we describe the weather on Earth? We usually think of temperature, the speed and direction of the wind, air pressure, whether rain or snow is falling...Basically, when we say "weather" we mean conditions in our atmosphere that change from time to time.There is weather in space it is not quite the same as weather on earth. but they are similar in some ways, when you hear someone talk about space weather they are referring to the conditions in space that change from time to time. sometimes the sun gives off more radiation, sometimes it gives off less. A flow of charged particles (Not air!) called solar wind constantly streams outward from the sun.
Minecraft Minecraft is a reality experience when you are living outside and hunt for food and mine for iron and etc. it is published by Mojang, Microsoft Studios, and Sony Computer Entertainment. it was the 2011 they won the award for the best pc game played and sold more than 154 million copies. The release date of the game is November,18,2011.
My personal experience with the game and i think that it is a very great games for children under 11 years old and I personally played this game at the age of 12 because it was fun to imagine that environment, where do you get iron, emeralds and etc. sometimes i get very angry because it is very hard to get trophies in this game and I still have more than 10 trophies to earn. It is rated 9+ and its rating for the game in the app store is 3.9 stars out of 5 and it is the # 1 adventure game in the whole store and it cost $9.99 in the store. Some of the time people have good to write about this game and sometimes bad. The good review and he rated 5 stars out of 5 is ̈Best game ever! Don’t listen to everyone who says this game is bad. They just don’t want people knowing they like it. Each update with new blocks and such are awesome! I’ve had this game for years and it has never gotten old. Now, cross-platform games?! Awesome!̈. ̈.some are bad reviews like ̈ All my worlds are gone after getting the update. I’m very upset because I worked really hard on one of them and now it’s gone ̈. My friends who have minecraft still play Minecraft when Fortnite is the trending game up on mobile and console and I don't believe that minecraft is not game to play anymore but many people think that it is a very dead game.
Oil spills are releases of oil into huge bodies of water either from a tanker, offshore drilling rig or an underwater pipeline this often causes hazards to the marine life and environment.The Persian Gulf oil spill of 1991 is so far the biggest oil spill in the world; Iraqi troops fled from Kuwait at the time of the first gulf war, the troops opened the valves of oil wells and pipelines, transferring up to 8 million barrels of oil into the Gulf, but the amount may vary. Another oil spill which is too date active is the Taylor Leak: the Taylor Leak started back in 2004 when the Taylor energy platform in Louisiana sank in a mudslide that hurricane Ivan triggered. The only reason the public knows about the Taylor Leak is because someone slipped on the oil while monitoring the BP oil spill. Taylor energy was accused of trying to keep the spill a secret and trying to get out of paying more cleanup costs; moreover, the president of the Taylor Energy company claimed that the reasoning behind this leak was an Act Of God. Oil spills have been around for a very long time - in the 1970s the U.S. mostly got provided with oil from a group of countries called OPEC ( The Organization Of Petroleum Exporting Countries),in 1973 OPEC’s Arab nations refused to sell oil to countries that supported Israel during the Yom Kippur war> ( America was one of the supporting countries) The ban drove up gas prices and people worried there wouldn't be enough gas; to calm the situation down the Federal government banned most oil exports to make sure America always had extra reserves.When Jimmy Carter becomes president he promotes to reduce energy consumption and he put various ways out their for example he put solar panels on the white house but in 1981 president Reagen takes control and tears down Carters solar panels and gets rid of all federal controls over oil production. Fast forward to 2015 the oil export ban from 1975 is still in effect; while president Obama was prioritizing wind and solar energy he also decided to lift the ban of 1975 which meant more oil production for America, this led to America producing 11 million barrels of crude oil a day,which led to America becoming the #1 producer of oil in the world. Places like Denmark, India and China are trying to avoid causing more oil spills; “Denmark is expected to generate 69% of its energy from renewable resources by 2022”, India plans on building the largest solar parks in the world and China has already started by having more solar energy capacity than other countries in the world. With all this oil production studies have inferred that Texas could soon be the world's largest oil producer and Permian Basin ( huge lake of oil underground) could double oil production by 2023.
GENIUS HOUR Was 911 An Inside Job: Many people, including me, think 911 was a staged event made up by the government to start conflict with another country. the twin towers were specially designed to withstand a plane hit, if a plane does collide with the building it shouldn't deal a large amount of damage, so why did the buildings fall when the planes hit. The truth is there was no planes it was all just the fault of bombs and the american government. If you ́ve watched videos or the news channels you will notice that when the buildings got hit it by the plane everyone's screens blacked out and then came back to life. That doesn't make sense, and how does a plane fly smoothly through a building, wouldnt a plane blow up as soon as it hits the building… so why did it blow up when it reached the outside of the building. Ive watched so many videos on this and the more i watch the more i unlock on this topic. https://youtu.be/FvL9xm-_s2k watch this video at time 10:29, you will notice that the building goes down in a demolition form. When buildings need to be destroyed people use bombs and place them on every floor so the building will fall in a straight line just watch https://youtu.be/sbcZA297C5I These buildings look very similar to the twin towers falling, thats because the government planted bombs on certain floors they didn't want to kill everybody so the bombs were only place on floors 92-110 trapping people at the top floors leaving everyone else at the bottom in panic and rush. President Bush, the man who started it all is completely responsible for 911. NO PLANES, NO TERRORISTS, JUST THE GOVERNMENT.
A death penalty is a punishmet of execution, this only happens when someone has convicted a capital crime.But is a “death penalty effective?”It has been shown that a death penalty does not show any crime more effecivly then ln long term of imprisonment.Any states that have death penalty laws do not have any sorts of crime rates or murder rates than states with out such laws.In that statement, a death penalty does count as a crime or murder.Although one interesting question is that “do murders deserve to die in a death penalty?”Well on the contrary, no one deserves to die.When the government metes out vengeance it is disguised as justice, it is illegal for killers to devalue human life and dignity!However we reject of giving a death penalty for murders and instead of that we would rather imprision them.But what if a death penalty is unacceptable? The alternative to that is sentenced to LIFE imprisonment as there are many states that has unaccepted a death penalty.What is a completly false statement is when people state that the “worst criminals” are sentenced to death, that is wrong because only a small percentage of inmates who have done the most horrendious crimes ever has been sentenced to death!Besides, most criminals have done a lot of horrendous actions ever and they haven’t been sentenced to death.Therefore, a death penalty isn’t effective in neither of these statements that people have made, it is only for people who have convicted a capital crime.

Caño Cristales
ReplyDeleteA vibrant explosion of colours,the river that ran away from paradise. Caño Cristales is located in the Serrania de la Macarena province of Meta. It is 100km (62 miles) long. The mouth of the water is located at Guayabero River, and Losada River. The source of the river is located at Serrania de la Macarena. The river is often called 'Liquid Rainbow' or 'River of Five Colours'
What gives this river it's vibrant colours?
The colour of the river is due to a wide variety of aquatic plants, these plants are called Macarenia Clavigera. Normally the colours of the plants are red, yellow, green, blue, black and most prominent red. These plants usually sit at the bottom of the river. You are able to see these plants because the water lacks nutrients and small particles this makes the water transparent.
Where do the rocks come from?
The rocks from the Serrania de la Macarena were formed approximately 1.2 billion years ago. They are an extension from the Guiana Shield of Venezuela. Wherever there are stronger currents the plants stick tightly to the rocks.
Can I swim in this river?
You are able to swim in this river because all the plants are at the bottom of the river. In designated swimming areas you are not allowed to wear sun protection lotion or bug spray.The algae is very sensitive and chemicals in the products could damage it. Also, you are not allowed to swim in areas with algae.This is because they want to conserve the species.
Before planning a trip you should consider different weather factors that might affect the color of the plant. For the best experience go on sunny days between late July and December. Also book tickets in advanced because their are a certain amount of people allowed in the river at once. You might need to get vaccinated against the yellow worm disease.

DeleteYour topic was very unique and well covered by your response. Also, does the yellow worm disease affect only those who swim in the river?
DeleteThis is very interesting and well written.
DeleteWOW, that was very interesting I want to visit Caño Cristales now.
DeleteNo, the yellow worm fever doesn't only affect those who swim in the river. However, there are more mosquitos near the river because it acts as their breeding ground.
DeleteHallucinations are a perception in the absence of external stimulus that has qualities of real perception. There are many types of hallucinations that affect all 5 of your senses. Hallucinations are vivid, substantial and are perceived to be located in external objective space.
ReplyDeleteHallucinations can be caused by mental illnesses like Depression and Psychosis. Also, illegal drugs like amphetamines, cocaine, LSD or ecstasy. Prescribed medications have many side effects, one of them can be hallucinations. Physical illnesses like epilepsy and alcoholism can also result in hallucinations.
There are six different types of hallucinations, all effecting a different sense. Visual Hallucinations involve seeing things that aren’t there; that can be object, visual patterns, people or lights. Visual hallucinations affect your sense of sight. Olfactory Hallucinations involve your sense of smell. You may smell an unpleasant odor when waking up in the middle of the night, you may also feel that your body smells when it really doesn’t. Gustatory Hallucinations are similar to olfactory hallucinations, but it involves your sense of taste. These tastes are often strange or unpleasant. Auditory Hallucinations are among the most common type of hallucination. You might hear someone speaking to you or telling you to do certain things; these voices may sound angry or very soft. Tactile hallucinations involve the feeling of touch or movement in your body. For example, you may feel like bugs are crawling on your skin or that your internal organs are moving around. Lastly, temporary hallucinations are not chronic, for example, they might occur if a relationship has just ended or if someone had just passed away. You might hear the person's voice for a moment or slightly see his/her figure. This type of hallucination goes away as you grieve.
Can Hallucinations cause physical pain? Hallucinations of pain and touch are very rare in schizophrenic disorders but 20% of patients may experience some sort of tactile hallucinations along with visual and auditory hallucinations. Hallucinations aren’t something to joke about, if you think that you are seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling or tasting things, consult with your doctor to discuss the right way to pursue with your state at mind.
Your explanation of the 6 different types of hallucination really helped me understand this concept better.

Xbox vs Playstation
ReplyDeleteThere has been a long feud between Xbox players and Playstation players. In terms of performance and connection, the Xbox and Playstation are virtually the same. The Playstation controller has many features that the Xbox controllers don't. The controller consists of clickable touch pads, a multifunction light bar, outward curving triggers, and even a little speaker on the controller itself. The Ps4’s handles are a little longer so they tend to fit gamers with bigger hands better. In terms of apps and UI, both Xbox and Playstation have the same variety. The last thing to consider is the exclusive games that come with either console. Xbox`s exclusive games consists of games like: Halo, Forza, Cuphead, and Gears of War. While Playstation users have access to exclusives like: Bloodborne, the God of War saga, the Ratchet and Clank saga, Infamous, The Last of Us, and Street Fighter V.
In conclusion, both consoles have a lot to offer and both bring a lot of different features to the table. One console isn't better than the other. At the end of the day, personal preference rules above all else. I personally believe that both consoles are relatively similar but what would determine the right console for you would be your own personal preference.

Guinness hour coding, What is coding?
ReplyDeleteIn short, coding is what allows technology to display things like data.Going more in depth,computers understand two types of data, on and off,so code is transistors switching on and off.There are also many different languages in code, used for different things that technology can do.Like typing, gaming, and more.These include Javascript, and Python. There are also different codes, popular ones include morse code, and binary code morse code is made up of two shapes circles, and rectangles,while bianary is the numbers 0 and 1.Coding originated back in 1206 ad with a musical instrument.Modern programming is a lot different since the invention of computer.Coding requires you to memorize a couple hundred commands, and also some grammar.If code is written incorrectly, an error message will show, or the program might freeze, and you could lose, lose or expose your data.
There is also something called debugging,a bug is something that happens that is not supposed to, so people go into its code and rewrite it to fix it.Code is very important for us today since we use technology so much, and technology and important.Coding is the reason we all can use our tech to benefit us.There are also many places you can learn code.Examples are: Dedicated coding classes, online articles and step by step instructions,asking people who code. You also can learn by yourself, on your own, but it might be a bit hard, and you mide need some help.Coding can be very challenging at first, but the more that you study, and practice the easier it will get.Knowing code is very useful, and beneficial in my opinion. That is my genius hour research on my topic that is coding.
this genius hour was one of my personal favorites, because coding is something that i am very interested in my self and you did a good job explaining how it works and how the things we use to day is all code and numbers
DeleteThank you Marcos for the feedback.
DeleteThree strikes law
ReplyDeleteWhat is the the three strikes law? The three strikes law is when a someone commits a horrible crime and goes to jail and then commits another crime which leads to more jail time , and if they commit a third crime they will go to jail for life. Life sentence is only given after the third crime unless you live in certain USA states which may cause you to have a death penalty.
To this day only 28 states of the United States use the three strikes law. Unlike Canada we operate under the dangerous offenders rule which is similar to the three strikes law except your granted immunity from time to time. The reason all the states don't use this law is because of how biased the court can become because of the past laws the person has broken.
This law was invented in 1993 by California State to try and reduce crime rates but that didn't work so they had to get the president to pass the law and so in 1994 on March 7 Former president Bill Clinton passed the three strikes law and was edigble for any state to use this law. For states to use this law the state had to vote on this law and the results shows as 72% agreeing and 28% not agreeing.
The cetian types of crimes that could make you go under he three strikes law is murder, rape, sexual assaults, racketeering, kidnapping, and more. Another reason this law was made is because allot of high profile killers were finishing the sentence and commiting more crimes and they couldn't give life sentence because they usually commit the same crimes.
Overall I think this is a good law because it does keep us more safer if the criminal attempts to commit another horrible crime.
I didn't know that the three strikes law existed besides for baseball purposes. Very interesting and organised.
DeleteI like your topic, and I also like how you have percents and statistics. Also, the History of why the law was created.
DeleteThis is a very interesting topic.I like how you told us when and why this law was created.

ReplyDeleteAbout the iPhone
ReplyDeleteThe history of iPhone began with a request from Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs to the company's engineers, asking them to investigate the use of touchscreen devices and tablet computers (which later came to fruition with the iPad).Many have noted the device's similarities to Apple's previous touch-screen portable device, the Newton MessagePad. Like the Newton, the iPhone is nearly all screen. Its form factor is credited to Apple's Chief Design Officer, Jonathan Ive.
In April 2003, at the "All Things Digital" executive conference, Steve Jobs expressed his belief that tablet PCs and traditional PDAs were not good choices as high-demand markets for Apple to enter, despite receiving many requests for Apple to create another PDA. He believed that cell phones were going to become important devices for portable information access, and that mobile phones needed to have excellent synchronization software.At that time, instead of focusing on a follow-up to their Newton PDA, Jobs had Apple focus on the iPod. Jobs also had Apple develop the iTunes software, which can be used to synchronize content with iPod devices. iTunes was released in January 2001. On September 7, 2005, Apple and Motorola released the ROKR E1, the first mobile phone to use iTunes. Jobs was unhappy with the ROKR, feeling that having to compromise with a non-Apple designer (Motorola) prevented Apple from designing the phone they wanted to make. In September 2006, Apple discontinued support for the ROKR, and released a version of iTunes that included references to an as-yet unknown mobile phone that could display pictures and video.
You did a good history of apple, going into the making of the original IPhone, but I think you should have talked more about the other IPhones, and maybe about apple's early products, like their computers, and the Macintosh.Also about modern apple products with the IMac.
Deletethank u sarvesh for your feedback

DeleteWhat's more worse smoking or drinking alcohol ?
ReplyDeleteI personally think smoking in general is already destroying your life span and drinking alcohol is even more hazardous for alcohol even those who are in recovery.Because years of heavy drinking damages or weakens the body's systems, alcoholics are more susceptible to the dangerous than other smokers. But smoking alswell they destroy your lungs and bring in you a condition where you will have to die because of the nicotine. Smoking can also bring up Coughs, colds, wheezing and asthma are just the start. Smoking can cause fatal diseases such as pneumonia, emphysema and lung cancer. Smoking causes 84% of deaths from lung cancer and 83% of deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. But drinking people who are chronic drinkers of alcohol have a higher risk of heart-related issues than people who do not Women who drink are more likely to develop heart disease than men who drink. So i personally or an outsider think like drinking is way more unhealthy and less life span.
THE DARK WEB
ReplyDeleteThe dark web is a world wide web which exist on darknets and overlay networks that use the internet but require a specific software, configuration or authorized access. It is often confused with the term deep web which are the parts of the web that are not searchable in a search engine. Darknet websites can only be accessed through networks such as Tor and I2P. The darknet encryption technology routes user identify and also guarantees anonymity. The transmitted info can be decrypted but only by a subsequent node in the scheme that leads to the exit node. This complicated system almost makes it impossible to reproduce the node path and decrypt layer by layer.
As you might know the dark web can also be used for illegal trades, media exchange and forums for the pedophiles and terrorists. While this is happening traditional websites have made alternative accessibility for the Tor network in the effort to come in contact with their users. Other dark web sites are Silk Road and its offspring. This site was used for selling and purchasing recreational drugs and other horrible stuff like guns. The dark web is used to hide online activities like fraud, abuse, hacking, ect.
This genius hour is very interesting. i like how you talked about ways to access the dark web and the differences between deep and dark web,but you should have talked about the consequences that you may receive from going on the dark web.

ReplyDeleteChaos theory and the butterfly effect
ReplyDeleteSensitive dependence on initial conditions aka the butterfly effect is the theory that everything we do now will change the future drastically. And not just our future, everything we do can affect something so insequential like the color of your room to something as imperative as the fate of our world . This is also what we call chaos theory, the non deterministic chaos that can be caused by something as small as a butterfly flapping its wings. Hens it's name.
Now your problebly confused what I'm talking about so I'll give some examples. In 1914 June 28 the Archduke of Austria Franz Ferdinand and his wife were in a streetcar going somewhere when there vehicle was attacked by a grenade but It miss fired and hit passengers behind him instead. Latter on Franz and his wife were going to visit those who have been wounded in the accident and on there way there him and his wife were gunned down by 19 year old gavrilo princip. And soon after Austria declared war against Gavrilo’s home country, which led Germany to declare war on Russia which in turn made France declare war on Belgium. And all of this happened because the driver took one wrong turn on to a different street. You see if the driver wasn't being Carles and took the right street franz and his wife would not have ran into Gavrilo and would have lived to Visit the people in the hospital, and ww1 would have been postponed, and chances are it probably would have played out extremely different.
Now I'll give you a more fictional scenario. Let's say you walk into work one day and your boss tells you he wants you to use a time machine for him so he can see what the outcome would be. So you use it and while your back in time you accidentally step on a bug. That right there would have had a major impact on your future. So you go back and now things are different, your boss is now a new person, the poster on the wall is now different, and your clothes have completely changed as well. What you did there was destroy your previous reality, just by you stepping on that bug.
Now that example is exaggerated but it's a good way of explaining how the butterfly effect works. My favorite way to explain it is, it's like a game of jenga. If you went back in time and moved a different block each time your outcome would alter substantially.
You reading this right now has altered your future, you might have not even bothered reading this and ended up doing something completely different. And you wouldn't even know what chaos theory is.
Basically everything you do on your day to day life doesn't just impact you, it impacts the whole world. Like edward lorenz the founder of chaos theory says “ Tiny changes in a big system can have complex results”.
Very interesting concept.
DeleteThis is a very interesting topic,and it is crazy to think about,especially when every little thing, like me writing this comment can affect the future.I think you did a great job explaining it.
DeleteYour topic is captivating and the examples explain it really well.

NBA 2K19:
ReplyDeleteNBA 2K19 is a basketball simulation video game developed by visual concepts and published by 2K sports, based on the national basketball association. It is the 20th installment in the NBA 2K franchise and the similar to NBA 2K18.
Release date: September 7, 2018
Personal opinion on 2K19:
My personal opinion on this game is great. Maybe sometimes, it can be annoying like miss open threes when your player has like an 89 three, glitching through players and animations where it makes your player do bad plays, all of that can be annoying but other than that, it is a really good game.
Reviews from people around the world: People rate it a 4.7. one person said; "A masterful work of graphics, game play and buckets. NBA 2K19 is such a great game for basketball and video games lovers alike." Another person said; "Same, but worse. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this game but I have issues with it, so I sold it today; to frustrated. It is the same game as last year with new rosters in play now". On IGN.com, it is rated 8.5/10, 5/10 on steam, and 4.5/5 on Game rant.
Classmate point of view: One of my friends play 2K with me and he said that it is really fun but sometimes it is annoying, like with all the giltching and and all that type of stuff.
i like how you put the game ratings and the different websites that also rated the game. I also like how you put someone else's opinion of the game.
DeleteI like how you incorporated your personal opinion on the game, as well as a friends point of vie. Very interesting!

DeleteEuthanasia
ReplyDeleteIn 2013, two belgian twins, bron deaf, found out they were going blind. They believed they now had nothing to live for and asked to be euthanized…
Euthanasia is defined as deliberately ending a life to end suffering. The word itself is derived from a greek word meaning “good death”. The term was first coined in ancient greece when people suffered from incurable diseases that were so painful, they opted for death. When medical treatments failed to cure, patients consumed hemlock- a highly poisonous flowering plant.
Euthanasia is similar to suicide, but in its case, people believe death ends suffering not a life, for those who need it. It is quite common in animals, and people argue it should be legal for humans too as the value of life should be the same amongst all species. Animal euthanasia is delivered by a lethal injection of sodium pentobarbital and is quick and painless. In humans, pentobarbital can cause death by respiratory arrest.
There are several ways for euthanasia to be carried out including drugs, injections, starvation and dehydration, gases, and do not resuscitate orders. Several countries refuse to consent to any of these while others permit it, as long as it meets certain conditions. Some nations have passed laws to legalize this process, while others do not recognize it.
On April 1, 2002, the Netherlands became the first country to legalize euthanasia under some conditions. Medical specialists now have the permission to give patients a lethal injection to rid them of their suffering. The United States only allows certain licensed doctors to administer lethal medication to those who meet the criteria. India has recently allowed doctors to pull the plug of life support systems such as ventilators or respirators and LVADs. A few countries have laws that do not support euthanasia, but instead support “active assisted suicide”. In this, patients must handle the medication themselves as medical assistance is not permitted.
Process:
The decision to go ahead with euthanasia can only be taken by the patients, children, parents and spouse. In some cases, closest relatives can make the call and if none are available, it is up to the doctor
The high court must then give a seal of approval in order for the doctors to carry out the procedure
Doctors are consulted to make sure there is no hope for the patient
PROS:
Ends pain and suffering
The right to choose life or death if the patient knows they will never get better
Saves funds for other patients
Equipment can be provided to another patient
CONS:
Religious and ethical constraints
Negative mental effects on family members, friends, and the doctor who pulled the plug

DeleteXbox one controller vs PS4 controller
ReplyDeleteOne of the biggest debates in gaming today, PS4 controller (Dualshock 4)or Xbox one controller. Every player has their own preference but, which one is really better. Let’s get started.
Battery: The Dualshock has a built in battery (that you cannot take out), while the Xbox has a compartment where you can put batteries you buy in store. The battery in the Dualshock can be a problem for gamers that do long gaming marathons cable-free because you can’t take the battery out and replace.
Build: The build of the Xbox one controller is much bulkier that the PS4 controller which makes it better than the PS4 controllers build, because it makes the controller easily fit into your hand. So the Xbox controller fits into your hand like a puzzle piece.
Analog sticks: While the PS4 controllers analog sticks parallel from each other the the Xbox controllers diagonally across from each other, gamers have their different preferences for this though, but the Xbox controllers analog sticks on the Xbox controllers analog sticks are known to have better grip because of micro-textured edges. Also the PS4 analog sticks are known to rip sometimes.
Directional Pads(D-Pads): All four directions on the D-Pad for the Xbox controller are connected so at times it could be confusing because their all connected so it makes it a little difficult to know which one is which. With the PS4 controller the buttons on the D-Pad are separated so it makes it easier.
Shoulder Buttons: The Xbox controllers shoulder buttons make a clicking sound some gamers may find annoying. The PS4 controllers shoulder buttons also make a clicking but it makes less noise and is softer.
Triggers: The Xbox controller triggers are bigger and are more comfortable to hold for longer periods of time compared to the PS4 controller.
Additional features: The PS4 controller hands down has more additional features than the Xbox one controller including touchpad, light bar, built in speaker and motion sensor. The Xbox controller does a cool feature that you use online, you can design your own controller online (colours not build). .
I personally prefer the Xbox controller mainly because of the build I think it's much easier to grip and fits the shape of your hand better. So if you play video games what your preference and why?
Deletei think you did a good job on this rasheed. i like how u broke down almost every aspect of each controller, i can tell you where very determined to figure out what controller is best.
This genius hour is very well written but it is very debatable because these are the 2 most popular consoles at the moment.
DeleteI like your topic and you did very well writing them down.But for myself I find the ps4 controller easier to use because i got used to it and i always know where the x button is r2 button and others.
DeleteMy personal preference is the Playstation, partly because i grew up on the playstation instead of the Xbox
ReplyDeleteI think that's how it is for most people because they've played on one controller for a long time they see it as better
DeleteSAMSUNG VS IPHONE
ReplyDeleteSamsung and iPhone are on of the most successful phones in the world.But Which one is more better,more comfortable to use or more durable.
Creator of Samsung:Lee Byung-Chul Creator of iPhone:Steve Jobs
HISTORY
SAMSUNG:Samsung is an android operating system.And the first phone ever made was in 2009 June 29 and that was like 10 years ago.The first samsung phone ever made was called Samsung GT-I7500.5 million people bought Samsung Galaxy S in 2010.
IPHONE:iPhone is an apple based phone.The first Iphone ever released was in January 9, 2007,and it was called iPhone 2G.That was 12 years ago, 2 years before Samsung was released.In 2007 when the first phone came out it cost $599 and it also had 8GB but in the holiday to make the phone more affordable they lowered the price to $399.But these days the phone cost $2000 or more which is incredible because it’s way more expensive than iPhone 7.But the iPhone 2G is useless nowadays, anyways.
PROS AND CONS
SAMSUNG AND iPHONE HAS ONE THING BETTER THAN EACH OTHER
AND ONE THING THAT THEY DON’T EVEN WANT TO COMPARE OR TALK ABOUT.
SAMSUNG:
PRO(DURABILITY):Samsung has a very tough durability and doesn’t bend easily.The most durable Samsung is Samsung Galaxy S8 and it was made in 29 March 2017 which means it’s been 2 or 3 years that the is still the most durable Samsung ever.And it’s the 6th most durable phone in the world.
CON (Battery life):This is a common problem people find out on Samsung’s their battery life.The people who created Samsung Galaxy S9 isn't as good as they hoped it would
be because it has a battery capacity of 3000mAH which is the same as Samsung Galaxy S8 but worse because the CNET video drain test average is 15 hours for S9 but for S8 it’s 16 hours.
IPHONE:
ReplyDeletePRO(BATTERY LIFE):iPhone has a pretty long battery life.The iPhone with the best battery life is the iPhone XR, it has a talk time of up to 25 hours long, if your using the internet well that will be 15 hours,if playing a video the battery life will stay up to 16 hours and finally if your listening to audio playback the battery life can last up to a whooping 65 hours!!!
CON(Durability):Researchers say that iPhones durability is doing poorly but to be safe if your using the old iPhones then it wouldn't be a problem if you dropped it from 4 feet but 5 feet or higher the screen of the iPhone would get damaged a little bit.The iPhone with the best durability which is iPhone XS still failed a drop test by many people.In one of the videos in the first test a guy dropped the iPhone XS from six feet back and front and then the glass protecting the screen got shattered and then in the case the iPhone got malfunctioned.
STORAGE SPACE DATA AND RAM
SAMSUNG:Samsung Note 9 that is $999.99 has 128GB of space and 6GB of RAM.And Samsung Note 9 that costs $1249.99 has 512GB of space and 8GB of RAM.The Samsung Note 9 has twice as much storage capacity as the iPhone X.
iPHONE:iPhone XR has three choices and they are 64GB for $749, 128GB for $799 and 256GB for $899.
PRICE
SAMSUNG:Samsung Galaxy S4 32GB cost $249.99.Samsung Galaxy S7 32GB costs 599.99$.Samsung Galaxy S9 64GB costs
$899.00s
iPHONE:iPhone 5S 32 GB will cost you $399.iPhone 7S 32GB cost $569.99.And the iPhone S9 costs around $800.
LATEST PHONE
SAMSUNG:Samsung Note 9 is the newest Samsung created so far and it’s very good.The battery capacity is 4000mAh and it has an bluetooth-enabled S pen.The Samsung Note 9 has a water carbon cooling which means if the samsung is in a high hit temperature it’s feature is designed to cool down the overheating down by 21%. Also the camera of note 9 has things like super-slow motion,night camera and much more.A Note 9 has a wireless charging hub and it could be useful in many ways.
iPHONE:iPhone XR is the newest iPhone created so far and it’s also very good.It has a bigger screen size of 6.1 inch, and it also has lots of new colours of its type.The battery its has it’s also way better than iPhone 8 plus because you can use it 1.5 hours longer than 8 plus and it lasts 15 hours long on the internet usage.
This rivalry has been going on for years, I don't think it's fair to compare the XR, with the Note 9, You should have used the XS Max, to compare, since the Note 9, and XS Max have similar specs.
DeleteI was comparing the note 9 and iphone xr in the latest phone section only.But, thanks for your feedback
DeleteThe IPhone XS Max is the newest IPhone, it came out a few days after the XR.

ReplyDeleteObesity
ReplyDeleteIt has been proven to be more Us Adults who are obese than who are just overweight,In america it has been said that there is over 30% percent obese men in america.
Overall amount of obesity around the world,it has been proven that there are 30% of humans are Obese That's almost 2 billion people And it is growing as we speak.
Why is obesity so common?
One of the main reasons why Obesity is so common is because of the consumption of many foods that contain a lot of many fats and sugars,all though some people think this is good when burning it off after eaten.Most Obese people don't burn it off by doing any physical activities so it stays in there body which leads to bad health and numerous body problems.
Who has more risk of getting obesity
a person who has obesity in there genetics is more likely to get obesity.They are also more at risk at getting obesity if there family has various problems such as diabetes,heart problems and etc.
The amount of people who have died each year cause of obesity is a high whopping 2.8 Million.
Old alton bridge also known as the goatman's bridge is an iron tissue bridge with a old legend connected to the bridge. Built in 1884 the Old alton bridge had cared horses and cattle across. The bridge got its name from the abandoned area.It remaned in use till 2001 when the city made an new bridge and left the other bridge unknown.
ReplyDeleteThe bridge is known as the goatman's bridge, due to a demonic spirit on the same name, who is belived to live in the surrounding forest area.The ledgend took back to an colord goat farmer who moved his familly north of the bridge. the success of a colored man was still unwelcome to some of the klansmen in the area, they later turned to violence when the farmer put up a sign that said "this way to goat mans".
in augest 1938 klansmen crossed the bridge and killed the farmers familly, when the looked over the bridge to see if he was dead, the rope was emptiy and the klansmen ran off the bridge.
the locals warn you than of you go over the bridge at night without headlights you'll be met an the other side by the goatman.

The economy of the warming Arctic
ReplyDeleteThe Arctic is warming, it isn’t an assumption but it’s a fact. In 2017 the air temperature was 1.6degrees celsius above average. The Arctic is a massive area spanning 14 million square kilometres. The Arctic is filled with natural resources but it’s a harsh and ice filled area place. The Arctic is far from economic activity for example, the Canadian territory of Nunavut has a GDP of $2 billion despite it accounting for 21% of Canada’s land area it only makes up 0.13% of Canada’s GDP.
Tourism is 1 of 2 sectors for the economy in the Arctic. Finland’s Lapland region has seen double digit tourism growth over recent years, people fly there to go to santa claus village. About 44% of arrivals come in december and january making traveling to Lapland highly seasonal. Almost all Arctic places have accessibility issues. A flight from Copenhagen (Denmark) or Reykjavik (Iceland) to Nuuk (Greenland’s capital city) costs at best $800 USD. A flight from Toronto to Greenland costs about $1500 to $2500 CAD, with that amount of money you can fly all the way to Sydney Australia a distance that is 16000 KM, whereas from Toronto to Nuuk it’s about 3000 KM. Cruise ships are another way to get into the Arctic due to warming conditions. Pond Inlet a town of 1617 people in Nunavut saw 18 ships in 2018 accounting for 3,200 passengers. The local government runs programs to develop businesses to help cater all these tourists. Pond Inlet earned $250k in docking fees in 2018.
Natural resources in the arctic. The Arctic holds about 13% of the world's undiscovered oil about 90 billion barrels and worth more than $4 trillion. The problem is that it makes no sense to drill oil in the Arctic right now because to drill a barrel of oil in the arctic $78 and at current rates barrels sell for $46. Russia holds a lot of the Arctic’s other resources like phosphate, aluminium, iron ore, and nickel. Russia produces an average of 11 million tons of phosphates accounting for 8% of the global output. Russia also extracted 3.85 million tons of aluminium, constituting 9.3% of the global output. It also mined 100 million tons of iron ore. 6.25% of the world production. A Russian company by the name of Nornickel leads the world in nickel production. Out of the 1.5 million tons of nickel produced in the entire world, about 300k was mined by Nornickel. Some other large mines include the Diavik Diamond Mine in Northwest Territories, Canada, Red Dog Mine in Alaska, and Sevagruva, Svalbard, Norway.
The Arctic has a pretty big area of 15,558,000 square kilometers (6,006,977 square miles). Its population isn't too big as it holds about 4 million people. The Arctic’s economy is rising because of a warming climate, the problem is that you have to sacrifice one or the other, the economy or the climate. This can become a big issue but for now things are a bit calm and hopefully will continue to be.

DeleteSpace weather ?
ReplyDeleteWhat are we talking about when we describe the weather on Earth? We usually think of temperature, the speed and direction of the wind, air pressure, whether rain or snow is falling...Basically, when we say "weather" we mean conditions in our atmosphere that change from time to time.There is weather in space it is not quite the same as weather on earth. but they are similar in some ways, when you hear someone talk about space weather they are referring to the conditions in space that change from time to time. sometimes the sun gives off more radiation, sometimes it gives off less. A flow of charged particles (Not air!) called solar wind constantly streams outward from the sun.

Minecraft
ReplyDeleteMinecraft is a reality experience when you are living outside and hunt for food and mine for iron and etc. it is published by Mojang, Microsoft Studios, and Sony Computer Entertainment. it was the 2011 they won the award for the best pc game played and sold more than 154 million copies. The release date of the game is November,18,2011.
My personal experience with the game and i think that it is a very great games for children under 11 years old and I personally played this game at the age of 12 because it was fun to imagine that environment, where do you get iron, emeralds and etc. sometimes i get very angry because it is very hard to get trophies in this game and I still have more than 10 trophies to earn.
It is rated 9+ and its rating for the game in the app store is 3.9 stars out of 5 and it is the # 1 adventure game in the whole store and it cost $9.99 in the store. Some of the time people have good to write about this game and sometimes bad. The good review and he rated 5 stars out of 5 is ̈Best game ever!
Don’t listen to everyone who says this game is bad. They just don’t want people knowing they like it.
Each update with new blocks and such are awesome! I’ve had this game for years and it has never gotten old. Now, cross-platform games?! Awesome!̈. ̈.some are bad reviews like ̈ All my worlds are gone after getting the update. I’m very upset because I worked really hard on one of them and now it’s gone ̈. My friends who have minecraft still play Minecraft when Fortnite is the trending game up on mobile and console and I don't believe that minecraft is not game to play anymore but many people think that it is a very dead game.
im proud of you for being honest about this and very good genius hour bj 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
DeleteOil Spills
ReplyDeleteOil spills are releases of oil into huge bodies of water either from a tanker, offshore drilling rig or an underwater pipeline this often causes hazards to the marine life and environment.The Persian Gulf oil spill of 1991 is so far the biggest oil spill in the world; Iraqi troops fled from Kuwait at the time of the first gulf war, the troops opened the valves of oil wells and pipelines, transferring up to 8 million barrels of oil into the Gulf, but the amount may vary. Another oil spill which is too date active is the Taylor Leak: the Taylor Leak started back in 2004 when the Taylor energy platform in Louisiana sank in a mudslide that hurricane Ivan triggered. The only reason the public knows about the Taylor Leak is because someone slipped on the oil while monitoring the BP oil spill. Taylor energy was accused of trying to keep the spill a secret and trying to get out of paying more cleanup costs; moreover, the president of the Taylor Energy company claimed that the reasoning behind this leak was an Act Of God. Oil spills have been around for a very long time - in the 1970s the U.S. mostly got provided with oil from a group of countries called OPEC ( The Organization Of Petroleum Exporting Countries),in 1973 OPEC’s Arab nations refused to sell oil to countries that supported Israel during the Yom Kippur war> ( America was one of the supporting countries) The ban drove up gas prices and people worried there wouldn't be enough gas; to calm the situation down the Federal government banned most oil exports to make sure America always had extra reserves.When Jimmy Carter becomes president he promotes to reduce energy consumption and he put various ways out their for example he put solar panels on the white house but in 1981 president Reagen takes control and tears down Carters solar panels and gets rid of all federal controls over oil production. Fast forward to 2015 the oil export ban from 1975 is still in effect; while president Obama was prioritizing wind and solar energy he also decided to lift the ban of 1975 which meant more oil production for America, this led to America producing 11 million barrels of crude oil a day,which led to America becoming the #1 producer of oil in the world. Places like Denmark, India and China are trying to avoid causing more oil spills; “Denmark is expected to generate 69% of its energy from renewable resources by 2022”, India plans on building the largest solar parks in the world and China has already started by having more solar energy capacity than other countries in the world. With all this oil production studies have inferred that Texas could soon be the world's largest oil producer and Permian Basin ( huge lake of oil underground) could double oil production by 2023.
GENIUS HOUR
ReplyDeleteWas 911 An Inside Job:
Many people, including me, think 911 was a staged event made up by the government to start conflict with another country. the twin towers were specially designed to withstand a plane hit, if a plane does collide with the building it shouldn't deal a large amount of damage, so why did the buildings fall when the planes hit. The truth is there was no planes it was all just the fault of bombs and the american government. If you ́ve watched videos or the news channels you will notice that when the buildings got hit it by the plane everyone's screens blacked out and then came back to life. That doesn't make sense, and how does a plane fly smoothly through a building, wouldnt a plane blow up as soon as it hits the building… so why did it blow up when it reached the outside of the building. Ive watched so many videos on this and the more i watch the more i unlock on this topic. https://youtu.be/FvL9xm-_s2k watch this video at time 10:29, you will notice that the building goes down in a demolition form. When buildings need to be destroyed people use bombs and place them on every floor so the building will fall in a straight line just watch https://youtu.be/sbcZA297C5I These buildings look very similar to the twin towers falling, thats because the government planted bombs on certain floors they didn't want to kill everybody so the bombs were only place on floors 92-110 trapping people at the top floors leaving everyone else at the bottom in panic and rush. President Bush, the man who started it all is completely responsible for 911. NO PLANES, NO TERRORISTS, JUST THE GOVERNMENT.

Is a death penalty effective?
ReplyDeleteA death penalty is a punishmet of execution, this only happens when someone has convicted a capital crime.But is a “death penalty effective?”It has been shown that a death penalty does not show any crime more effecivly then ln long term of imprisonment.Any states that have death penalty laws do not have any sorts of crime rates or murder rates than states with out such laws.In that statement, a death penalty does count as a crime or murder.Although one interesting question is that “do murders deserve to die in a death penalty?”Well on the contrary, no one deserves to die.When the government metes out vengeance it is disguised as justice, it is illegal for killers to devalue human life and dignity!However we reject of giving a death penalty for murders and instead of that we would rather imprision them.But what if a death penalty is unacceptable? The alternative to that is sentenced to LIFE imprisonment as there are many states that has unaccepted a death penalty.What is a completly false statement is when people state that the “worst criminals” are sentenced to death, that is wrong because only a small percentage of inmates who have done the most horrendious crimes ever has been sentenced to death!Besides, most criminals have done a lot of horrendous actions ever and they haven’t been sentenced to death.Therefore, a death penalty isn’t effective in neither of these statements that people have made, it is only for people who have convicted a capital crime.
