Gas prices, May 16th 2011 with the gas prices on the rise the consumers are spending more time than average driving across the city or to the next nearest city or town for cheaper gas. as the prices slowly climb due to no other reason than greed, the average person has to struggle to get to work because they cannot afford to put fuel in their cars.40-55% of Canadian gas prices go to crude oil costs and 20-35% is federal and provincial taxing, 10-25% goes to the refiners cost, and finely only 4-6% goes to retail costs. So the retail company cannot be blamed. as a starting driver and still in school i know how it is to try and make money to pay for things as simple as gas to get to work and back. i even work at a gas station but i go to anywhere that even offers gas at a simple 1 cent cheaper than the guy across the way. the current gas price is $1.219L but its supposed to hit $1.509L this summer.

may/11 conflict diamonds

Canada has a diamond claim that says all the diamonds they sell are supposed to be conflict free. but if a company can get the diamonds for cheaper they will do so to create a bigger profit margin. conflict diamonds are diamonds that are mined by slaves for dirt cheap. and the area of the mines are controlled by rebel forces that are only in it for the money. non-conflict diamonds can be distinguished by a laser marking and or certificate or authenticity. diamonds are formed 120-200kms underground, and it has to be from 900-1300 degrees Celsius to have the pressure to from. i went to Peoples, Spence and Swedish Jewellers

Officials were working around the clock to stay on top of some of the worst floods seen in years. rising waters have already forced over 700 people out of their homes and the damage is inevitable. while sandbaging around houses and other places was successful but as the water rises it makes it harder for the sandbags to work. over 80 highways and major roads are completely covered in water. and all this water can mean late seeding for farmers, which could mean rising food prices.

as we strive to get more oil and coal we are polluting our water and our plants. this will slowly affect our food supply but with the oil sands its taking oil out of the sand and is putting back clean sand.

how should we respond to globalization's impact on the enviroment? - economic growth must balance w/ stewardship in order to create prosperous future. 1. is there enough energy for everyone to heat their homes. 2. can industry produce enough oil + gas to continue driving your car 3. will there be enough water for the future 4. can the planet produce enough food to feed everyone - the worlds population has been growing at a rapid rate - improved health car + better tech means more ppl are living longer than ever,fewer people dying of disease and more children are surviving into adulthood.
 * however; there have yet to be great improvements in food production so that land can yeiled larger crops.

Notes April 12th. should globalization contribute to prosperity for all people? a rising tide lifts all boats: in economic terms means that as the world becomes richer, everyone will benefit. - last few decades, the world has become wealthier through trade and technology. greater wealth than there used to be. Q) should economic globalization contribute to prosperity for all ppl? is everyone richer b/c of the tide of wealth caused by economic growth and greater global economic ties? or has the gap btwn rich and poor increased? what factors influence the global economy? free trade, trade organizations, transitional corporations > have all increased wealth for all economic globalization> impacts financial equality btwn ppl around the world. - how are incomes around the world distributed?
 * economic prosperity* the process of expanding world trading networks.


 * can it be proven
 * is there bias

Current events April 11th In Flight Entertainment. Almost airlines have installed approx. 300 personal tv screens in their 747 Boeing planes, this screens can break at any minute and cost the airline hundreds of dollars. but with their new idea of creating a program that allows access to any holder of an iPhone or iPod that they can watch every television channel or on board movie service. airlines can save thousands of dollars in installation and repairs and allow 100% access to all customers. and it will also give full internet connection to all users while in flight, this will most likely increase the amount of people buying plane tickets vs. driving to their destination. but it isnt really an internet connection but more of a closed network, because any one not inside the cabin cant get connection. the problem is that these smartphones dont have strong enough batterys to withhold enough power to last the whole flight. all airlines will need power outlets at every seat, but this will still cost airlines plenty of money.

i personaly think this is a great idea. everybody owns a smart phone and or ipod so it will most likely be beneficial to all airlines.

Notes march 31st in this section you will explore ideas about what prosperity and sustainability mean to different people. does prosperity just mean rich or are there other factors that contribute to a good life? can our current level of economic and industrial activity be maintained over a long term, or does that really matter? exploring these concepts will help you answer the inquiry question for this section. what does sustainability mean to me?

the early 1950s was a time of great promise in many parts of the world. WWII was over they got together to do good things. peace, security, developing, friendly, solving international problems.

Current Events March 22: Japan reactors power lines connected Tokyo says the the earthquake damaged power lines the the Fukushima in northern japan and had been hooked up to all 6 reactors. reconecting the Fukushima Daiichi reactors wont be easy it will just be a huge step for everybody involved. they anounced the hook up tuesday but cant hook up the coolers to get it running for a while. the radiation is finding its way into all of our food and necisary drink items like milk. they are estimating 18,000 dead from radiation. automakers stay shut down due to the power they need that they cant get because it is more important to power communities. "I want to tell you that you are safe," Noboru Takamura told them. "You don't need to worry.

this is a major problem because people need power to do their regular routine. and if their food is going bad or all of there neccesities there are in deep trouble. []

sheldon: i dont want them doing this because my family has used this land for decades. ryan: well if they dont do this then my dad wont make any money sheldon: well maybe they can find somewhere else to drill ryan: well my dad just works where he is told to, he has no choice sheldon: before you dig up the land they will have to make some agreement ryan: i would rather them find more land or atleast pay you guys fairly sheldon: this is shenanigans! ryan: i know tell me about it, if they found more land to use it would be easier to resolve. because this way you would keep your land and my dad would keep working. sheldon: i guess we could protest to it or write a strongly worded letter. ryan: i would say letter but that wont solve anything we will have to protest. sheldon: so were in agree-ance we will work together and protest. ryan: ill call my dad and let him know what were doing and maybe he can get some of his co-workers. sheldon: ok sounds good ill let my family know.

C<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">urrent Events March 7: Discovery on way back. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">the space shuttle the discovery is on its last voyage back to earth. they were just attached to the orbiting space laboratory for 8 days. The space shuttle launched from the Kennedy Space Centre on Feb. 24, is scheduled to land in Florida at 11:58 a.m. on Wednesday.This is the final voyage for the most travelled spaceship in history. It will be retired after this mission and sent to a museum, more than 26 years after its first flight."Discovery has been a great ship and has really supported the International Space Station more so, I think, than any other space shuttle. We wish her fair winds and following seas," space station commander Scott Kelly told the six astronauts.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">it's too bad that this shuttle isn't gonna explore anymore but it's time for new innovations and technology so that getting to space s more of an ease. All if these people who go into space are considered heros. Thy deserve to be called that they work hard up there. It would not be easy for them to do that on a daily basis

Current Events March 2: ﻿Oil Prices Back On The Rise. [] Oil prices once again over $100 a barrel, this will just raise the price of gas. all over north america gas prices along with the price of oil per barrel. oil prices are up with an increasing 13 percent, This is angering many young and old drivers. the recent jack in oil pricing is one fault of the inccedent in Libya, alot of the oil that we use comes from there and this is causing loads of problems. investors are concerned cause protests and political fights could break out in the rest of the world since Iran, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia have more than 60 per cent of the worlds proven oil reserves. I personally think this is a major problem due to the fact it costs an extreme amount to fill a gas tank and it takes alot of work Your current events posting is incomplete. (5)

The Perfect World. Project on Feb 17th. The perfect world would look like a small town that is slowly expanding and industrializing. It would have alot of farm land arounds to provide food and other nessesities. The world would have a little violence because it gives people a job as a police officer or other law men. There can be different races as long as we have suicide bombers, every race has there good and bad peoe in society you can't do any thing about it because its life. Our world right now is as perfect as it's gonna be. You have your crime and you have your good semaritans. But without a balance the world we be boring because You would not have any thing new and or interesting to talk about in your daily life. I don't think that the perfect world would be much different than our world today. Our world today is extremely advanced and our technolodgy. If our world was to restart and become a " new perfect world" a doubt that it would be anywhere as advanced as it is today. You would need to have winners and losers because we need compettition to learn that you can't have every thing that you ask for. Just like in our world now you have to achieve what you have effort and hard work is the key to success. You cant just sit around and be a lazy dependent on every body person. In the perfect world everybody would work of some sort, this way no one would be homeless because if every one worked and if houses were reasonable prices this way everybody could afford a home. If everybody just acted normally and didn make a ton of stupid decisions like drugs than the world would be a perfect world.

Current Events Feb. 16: Real Estate Back On The Rise. http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2008/11/14/f-realestatemap.html In Canada we are just getting through a tough and thick recession, and now our real estate market is back on the rise and this means higher interest rates of about 4.5 percent. all over Canada major cities markets are improving especially Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Fredericton. on the other hand this means that house resale values are gonna rise on an average, and this will also change the pricing of brand new homes. The CREA says that "sales have advanced by 25 per cent over the low point reached in July 2010." they say the recent mini-surge was a result of the federal government tightening up mortgage rules. I believe that this is a good thing for young people that are just starting out, so in this sense it may get more people into homes and off the streets also. If more people get into homes it will help the economy so it may just keel mortgage rates and housing prices low so that people that have been through a rough patch can get going again. If people can afford more houses they may be able to buy a house and rent it out to a person or couple that can't finically afford it and can only rent. When I herd houses were more affordable I thought this was good so in the future I can buy my own house, and live a good life within my own house. Great job. Kudos on picking an article that you can identify with that has a great impact on many young people. Please be sure to EDIT your work as you are using a word processor. (8)

Current Events Feb. 7: 2011 Super Bowl. [] The Green Bay Packers wins Super Bowl XLV over the Pittsburgh Steelers with a overwhelming score of 31-25. Super Bowl XLV was held in Dallas Texas in the Cowboys Stadium where the box office sold out way in advance. February 6 2011 was a big day across the nation where the two best teams of the NFL face off in a game of skill and hardships.The Packers got the first two touch downs which left the Steelers in the dust but they weren't giving up they brought it back to make it a 3 point game twice but it wasn't enough to clinch the win. I believed going into this game that the Pittsburgh Steelers were a sure fire shoe in to win the Lombardy Trophy seeing that they have more Super Bowl wins per capita over the Green Bay Packers. I would have thought that the Steelers were going to destroy the Packers, but in the end i was wrong along with many other people. It was too bad that the Packers won but other than the outcome of the game it was a great game to watch. I chose this article because the Super Bowl is a huge game that is watched nation wide. Me and many others are Football fans and it was argument after argument on who wins. Jordan, This is a current events report and therefore should follow the guidelines provided on the home page.
