Mysterious Troll-Haired Insect Discovered In South American Rainforest

Mysterious Troll-Haired Insect Discovered In South American Rainforest

                People have discovered a new creature in the South America. This insect was amongst the 60 new creatures found by ecologists on an expedition to South America's Suriname rainforest in 2012. It was measure 7 mm with gold body with orange dots and stripes. This insect is special because of it distinct hair that was like the popular toys and was made of wax from its body. Scientist are not sure what was the purpose of the hair, they believed that it is use to distract predators into attacking the wrong part of the body. When the predator try to grab the insect the wax will fall off and the insect jumps away.

            In my opinion this is a really cool insect that we discover. It is interesting that the insect looks like the doll that we made, and this insect is found in nature. Now people can learn about it more and test what is can do? What it eat? People are also learning more about the Earth and place we have not discovered yet. This can help people be more existing to learn more about the South American rainforest and go deeper, to discover new thing or animals.

http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/11/05/platypus-zilla-fossil-discovered-in-australia/

'Platypus-zilla' fossil discovered in Australia

People have now found a biggest know platypus in Australia about 15 million years ago. This fossil was discover in November 5th,2013 at Riversleigh fossil field in northwestern Queensland, Australia. Scientists think this animal would frow about 3.3 feet long, which is two time bigger than today playtypus.They called this animal or fossil Obdurdon dicksoni, the ancestor platypus. Something else that is special is modern platypus don't have teeth and Obdurdon dicksoni do.

 I choose this article because it is science topic in our rubric. I also think this is abit history because it is talking about the history of the platypus. I think this discovery is very cool, because we know what platypus ancestor look like and we can compare this so modern platypus. I think this fossil can help us know or guess where they live in the pass, because they found it in Australia so maybe the Obdurdon dicksoni have been living in Australia. I also think this fossil can help scienctist know what time period does the Obdurdon dicksoni live.

The Ancient City Of Mohenjo Daro

We have find the Ancient city of Mohenjo Daro, but now it time to save it from being lost. Scientist think it will be gone less then 20 years because it have high salinity of the underground water. Some people think putting mud on the brick will help because mud absorb the salt but when it dried, it crumble away with the brick. This city was discovered in 1992 by officer from the Archeological Survey of India, Mohenjo Daro. He believed it was one of the earleast and advance city in the world, so people is still trying to find a best way to keep the city.

I choose this article because it very interesting to find a very advance city from the past, and trying to save it. This article related to our history selection because it tell us about how people live in the past. I'm very suprize that the city have been there for a long time ago and still here today. I think this is important to read because you can know what is being discover and you can might help to save a valuable place.I think people need to help think of way to save this city because it is a very cool place.

Do You Want To Fly Across The Atlantic

Jonathan Trappe has a very funny hoobies, his hobbies is to fly around with ballons. He has broken many records and also help the movie "UP" becomse reality. He had made a attempt to fly across the Atlantic Ocean with 370 colorful helium ballons and a boat so if he fail in the middle of the ocean. Instead of making his goal he had been forced to make an emergency landing about 350 miles from where he first took off, Iceland. 

I think is a very interesting to fly across the Atlantic with 370 giant ballons somewhat like "UP". It will be very cool if he had success and reach his goal. This i think can help him for next time if he ever want to try agian. Maybe he will reach his goal for the next time he try or maybe make a trip across the pacific ocean.

9/11/2001 - The Day Our Lives Changed Forever

On Wednesday, September 11th, people all the round the world will remember of the 2,977 innocent lives that were lost in the unusual terrorist attacks ever. American Airlines Flight 11 crashed right into the North Tower into the World Trade Center, New York, America. Then the United Airlines Flight 175 crash into the South Tower and after that it was no error from pilot but this is some daring attack. Then the American Airlines Flight 77 crash into the United States military. After that a United Airlines Flight 93 crash into a emty field outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania. These attack are from Boston and the leader is  Osama bin Ladenand this attack have make many pople lost their family and friends.
I think this attack is the big thing because this have kill almost 3000 people. This have made many people lost their home and family and also friends. I think there should be a holiday on this day to remember the people that where lost the and the most unsual attack. I think there should be a holiday because this is a very important thing that happen to America history. I think this is going to be the thing that alot of peopl will remeber.

Bored Of Soccer? Try Bubble Soccer!

http://www.dogonews.com/2013/9/2/video-of-the-week-are-you-ready-for-some-bubble-football

Getting Bored Of Soccer? Try Bubble Soccer!

           The Bubble Soccer was started by a video on Youtube as a joke by Henrick Elvestad and Johan Gold hosts of Norwegian comedy sport show 'Golden Goal'. They thought it would be really funny if they were soccer while wering a inflatable bubble. It was not play just in Norway but across Europe. The game rule are just like soccer, people will try to score as many goals as they can but also they need to knock the other team players down with your bubble. The point of not moving your hand and wearing a inflatable bubble knocking people led to the its wild popularity. 

           I would love to try out this game. I would try it because you can't move your hand and you can knock people down with your inflatable bubble while trying to score. I would aslo want to learn more about this new sport. Also i'm very interest that this game was just famuos by posting a video on Youtube.

Spending For School Suppiles

Public school teachers are spendding more than $1.6 billion dollars!!!
       
          This year teachers are spending about $400 dollars for there classroom and it is happening around the world. Teachers are going on DonorsChoose.org so they could reduce the mount of money they spend. Teahcer is buying thing like paper, pen, science and math tool. In my oppinion, we should help teachers that are trying to buy the stuff for you, because the stuff that they buy is for you not for themself. If they can't buy something for science or math because it is to expensive then the class will not be so fun.
