Mark Twain Lake

Fish Spawn Information

This weekend I'm going fishing at Mark Twain Lake with Dylan Shane and my grandparents. Mark Twain Lake is about 2 hours away from Festus and is located in Northeastern Missouri. Dylan Shane and I are going to fish near Clearance Cannon Dam and Mark Twain River. I just bought a new fishing rod and it's my birthday this Friday so I'm going to buy another rod and some more tackle. We are going to spend the night at my grandparents house then get up at about 5:00 AM and go fishing. I'm guessing it will be pretty cool.

The Study of Ergonomics


Picture From
ergonomics

Ergonomics is the study of the human body and how it uses its workplace and equipment. Some common bad habits that people have are wrong posture, incorrect breathing, and an unhealthy diet. Some bad habits that I have are wrong posture and incorrect angle of my elbows while standing. Our workplaces are most likely not ergonomically sound, that's because a lot of people like to slump down while they're sitting and for other various reasons. People who are on the computer should sit straight up in their seat so their lumbar can support their spine. People should also have their elbows at an 90 degree angle and their head and neck aligned with their spine.

Blurred Spots on Google Earth!



My opinion is that I think it is ethical to keep TOP SECRET and CONFIDENTIAL areas blacked out on Google Map so the public can not see these areas. Some areas are very important for keeping secret, such as Area 51 or military base. One reason they keep them blacked out is because the public will start riots if they find out what the government is hiding and they want it. Then the military and government will see more civilian activity at those bases. Another reason is that the U.S. Government does not want secret services and enemies from different countries looking at these maps and giving information to their superior.

What I Liked about Topics in Technology


Picture from Stop-Motion Pixel Pac-man Made With People

I have liked a lot of things in Topics in Technology, but I would have ti say my favorite thing was doing stop motion. The best thing about stop motion is how cool it looks ounce it is finished. Putting a song with the pictures was so fun. I liked how it looked like a video even though it was just a group of pictures. It may have been one of the most fun projects I have ever done.  Although my stop motion video is short, I still think it was very fun. I think this is the best class in the school and hope that in high school there are more classes like this one.

Spring Break


PIcture from Nicoleunited Finchel and Monchelel

This spring break we get to have three extra days off. Altogether we get five days off. I am very happy that we get a break from all of the school work. One of the best parts about spring break is that we shouldn't have homework. The reason we won't have homework is because we are taking finals the day before. Usually teachers don't give homework that day of finals. So the spring break I will just get to be chilling.

Weird Eiffle Tower




PIcture from Visual Inspiraton Photo Prompt #40 << Strangling My House
 I have seen a picture of the Eiffel Tower. It is distorted is a way. I think it represents the way that the world had become, because the world is now twisted and weird they distorted is like that. The way that people have become is very sad. People have done bad stuff and have lost their family because of it. I think that the trees on the side if the tower represent how death is very close to us and can happen at any time. Like everyday we face a couple hundred ways to die but we block them out. Unfortunatly for some people don't stop it.

Being Sick


Picture from Animations A2Z

I am sick. The only reason I am at school is because I do not have a fever. I have not even been at school the past three days because I had a temperature those days. I took my temperature this morning and it was 98.3 degrees Fahrenheit, so that is pretty good. I have a lot of work to do now that I am back. Hopefully I am not sick tomorrow.
