A Sierpinski triangle in the early stages.

Here is a computer generated fractal from this site.

There are also natural fractals, like ferns. Ferns are fractals because each segment has another little segment on it and that little segment has another, smaller segment on it.

“a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response” –Wikipedia

Do you get it now? Have you ever been trolled? Here is a little song… Ignore the random music at the end.

Seriously, they meow and meow and jump on my chest and meow in my face and before we can catch them, they run under my bed. Wow. And then, once we start to go back to sleep, they climb out and meow their little faces off. So we have to outsmart them… What I do is I know that one cat, Minkey is attracted to running water from the tap, once she hears it, she climbs out and jumps into the sink and tries to drink from the tap, then I grab her and put her outside. Another one, Lynx, isn’t that smart so it is fairly easy to catch him, you just be really quiet and once he comes out from under the bed you grab him. Granville is one of the trickiest cats to catch. She meows from underneath the bed! I have to climb underneath the bed and grab her then climb out without her escaping.

Do you have a cat? Do they annoy you at night? How do you outsmart them? Tell me in a comment below!

1. Charlie’s 10 Way To Annoy Your Brother post. In this post, there are 10 ways to annoy your younger brother. The strategies range from thumping him on the head to putting slime in his shoe. I can’t utilize most of these on my older brothers unfortunately because if I did, they would probably slam my head against the wall. Comments will be appreciated!

2. Alejandro’s When I’m 65 post, I like it because it provides interesting insight on life. Someone can find out a lot about what the person is like from reading one. Please visit him and leave a comment.

3. Eddie’s 20 Questions post, the questions he uses make you think deeply. Please visit him and leave a comment and some encouragement!

Of course you have, a lot of people have. It’s about a monster shark that starts eating people and then it gets blown up by a guy shooting a oil barrel in the sharks mouth, blah blah blah. Its ridiculous.

Then, there is Jaws 2 where the guy in the first movie’s kids get attacked while catamaran sailing, then he kills that giant shark by getting the shark to bite an electric line.

In the third one, it is the guy in the second movies kids as adults and they bring their kids to SeaWorld. Another mega shark smashes the gates down and escapes into the underwater tunnels in SeaWorld. It gets killed by the kid, who pulls a pin on a grenade in the sharks mouth, the grenade got there because a guy tried to kill it with the grenade but got nommed.

Then there is Jaws 4, also known as Jaws REVENGE. In this, the son of the daughter of the son of the first shark is out to kill all of the sons of the sons of the daughters of the first guy that killed the first shark. The girl in the third movie’s husband gets killed by a shark (a mega one obviously) the shark swims past a bunch of swimmers and goes straight for the husband. His wife is convinced that it is trying to kill her family because that one family always kills the mega sharks. You’d think that they wouldn’t go anywhere near water and they would go crazy when they saw a shark. Meh… So she is convinced that if she sacrificed herself to the shark it would leave the rest of her family alone… How would that work? So her kids find out and chase after her with the help of a float plane pilot. They find her and land but the shark bites the floatplanes floats (Derp) and pulls the plane under. The kids swim to the mom and climb into the boat and they make a bomb made of electrical stuff and stuff it in the sharks mouth as it drags one of them underwater… Everyone knows what happens next right? The shark goes boom, shark chunks fly everywhere (mmm… tasty) and the pilot of the floatplane somehow survives. Wow. Poor shark.

Hello tasty morsel

In case you didn’t know, the Young Entrepreneur Program is a program designed to teach kids how to run a successful business. They will be taught about making change, costs to make their product, price to charge and floats (money to make change with). Determination is a essential trait in running a business, you have to keep working on marketing and improving your product. Creativity is also useful,but not necessarily essential. You might for example be a retail business, where you sell different companies products.

As an adult, I don’t think I will run my own business. One, it is extremely stressful. Two, you have to pay for the salaries of your workers and three, if you don’t pay them, they will get really angry. I would rather be a worker for a company.

Look above for a sample handwarmer! I am making handwarmers for my school’s Young Entrepeneur fair. In this fair, Grade 6′s make products to sell at the fair. The point of this program is to teach kids about making a business. I am in Grade 7 but I get to make a product because I am in a 6-7 split. I would appreciate if you gave me feedback by filling out the survey below!

What do you think black holes are? Do you think they mercilessly destroy everything? Or do you think they are doors to another dimension? No one really knows, that’s because nothing has ever returned from a black hole. Not even light. Personally, I don’t know. There is lots of evidence of them destroying stuff, but is the stuff “destroyed” really destroyed? Or is it transported to an alternate reality? Hmm… How does light get pulled in? How does light, which doesn’t have substance, get sucked in? How does something get destroyed completely and utterly? Does it get turned into energy to “feed” the black hole? If so, we could utilize that power source by throwing garbage into it and using the energy. Also, if the stuff goes to another dimension, where does it come out of? It can’t come out of another black hole because it would just be sucked in again.

What do you think?

Empathy is the understanding of others. One thing about this is that young babies cannot see clearly farther than 20 centimetres in front of them. They are also susceptible to germs so we can’t touch him. Today we had a “pre-visit” where we learned about babies and what they can do early on. To test us, we had for example a question saying “babies need to be touched for healthy development” we had two cards, one saying “True” the other “False” we choose a card to hold up for each question.
