http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-13409292 ==China's forbidden city is being used as a club for the rich. The Forbidden city is the place where the emperors of china used to live. The Forbidden city is being rented out $150,000 or £93,600 (well that is what the media says).== ==This business they are doing is just wrong in my perspective. That is the living place of their emperors, it is disrespectful to let people party in his home to make some profit. it is just wrong!!!!!!==

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/story/2011/05/16/mb-flood-breach-planned-ashton-manitoba.html ==The Dike breach that is causing floods in Manitoba are going as planned. The water is moving so slowly that a person walking right beside it would pass it. the government cut a hole that is causing it to spread into an open rural area with 150 homes in that vicinity. The army has put up Sand Bags and tube dikes around most of the homes to prevent the water from accessing the houses.== ==it is unfortunate that Manitoba is having this flooding problem. I am glad to hear that the flooding is being controlled and the houses are being protected from the water. Hopefully they will have this problem solved by the time the water even reaches the houses.== ==

Spence diamonds are all mined from Canadian diamond mines but so do Peoples Jewellers and Ben Moss. They expect for the best carrot, cut, clarity and colour. The Website for spences does not explain what types of diamonds they do sell but i have sent an e-mail and will edit this when they reply. i have also sent an email to Peoples Jewellers and will update when they reply. Ben Moss sells Many jewels from birthstones to perfectly cut and measured diamonds. They do sell Canadian Diamonds that you can look at on the website or ask about at any Ben Moss Store in Canada.==

Cloning:==

__Pros__:
- Clone vital organs. You can use them for a back up organ. - It can cure the problem of infetality. - Cloning can give genetic information to scientists. =__Cons__:= - Can cause modified limbs on children. -"Moreover, cloning will put human and animal rights at stake. Will cloning fit into our ethical and moral principles? Cloning will leave man just another man-made being. Won't it devalue mankind? Won't it undermine the value of human life?" -"In cloning human organs and using them for transplant, or in cloning human beings themselves, technical and economic barriers will have to be considered. Will cloned organs be cost-effective? Will cloning techniques really reach the common man?"

Current Event--> April 19th 1011
[] A report that says almost half of children in britain from the age of 9 to 12 go on social networking sites frequently. In this case they presume that with this there will be more accounts of cyber bullying. The netherlands had the most children on social networking sites by an outstanding 70%. 45% of parents in France forbid their children from going on social networking websites. It shows that Parents have to be strict when it comes to their childs internet use.

I believe that they are right about the chances of cyber bullying increasing but to forbid them from using any social networking site is just ridiculous. If you are going to remove it limit what they do, dont remove the whole experience. Im not saying that social networks are a good thing but it does give some people privacy from their parents or family. Cyber Bullying is a big factor and should always be avoided and they should find a way how to remove all of the things kids do to bully someone. But the chances of that happening are pretty slim. ===

Notes --> April 14th 2011
How should we respond to Globalization's impact on the environment? -economic growth must balance w/ stewardship in order to create a prosperous future. -Questions to ask yourelf: 1) Is there enough energy for everyone to heat their homes? 2) Can Industry produce enough oil + gas to continue driving your car? 3) Wi ll there be enough water for the future/ 4) Can the planet produce enough food to feed everyone? - the worlds population has been growinf at a rapid rate. - improved health care + technology means more people 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 > March 31st 2011
===In this section you will explore ideas about prosperity and sustainability mean to different people. Does prosperity just mean being rich, or are there other factors that contribute to good life? In today's interconnected world, the global economy is growing at a great rate. Can our current level of economic and industrial activity be maintained over the long term, or does that really matter? Exploring these concepts will help you answer the inquiry question for this section: What does sustainable prosperity mean to me?===

Current Events---> March 24th 2011 [] The Body of a baby was found in a room of a hotel in London, England. A fifteen year old girl in Barrie, Ont is gonna face charges. London police found the body Saturday, March 19th. They found out that the room had been occupied by a couple girls on a school trip.

Current Events---> March 22nd 2011 http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/World/20110322/syria-videos-protests-110322/

===Videos were reported to show that Syria is starting an anti-government protest. The protests from Egypt and Libya has spread to Syria causing a lot of war. These videos show that several hundred people are chanting Freedom! in a town in Syria named Samnin. A reporter reports that the activists spoke on condition of an anonymity fearing reprisals.===

===My reflection on this topic is that they might be starting a the next world war. World War 3 might be upon us from all the anti-government protests all of North America is jumping in. When we jump in usually most parts of the world come to help in the cause but if this is the next world war it wont be lasting long. Hopefully this won't turn out bad like some of the others.=== Wyatt: A very interesting story for you to share. Be sure to answer the question “how does this affect people on a global scale? (6). Try to provide a more in depth answer.

===Theresa Riggi Confessed that she murdered her three children. The two twin boys and their sister were found dead on August 4 2010. They appeared to have multiple stab wounds, their appeared to be a gas explosion before the incident. The mother denied that she caused the explosion but it was found that she did later. Theresa and her husband, Pasquale Riggi broke up and left the children with Theresa. It was reported that They talked on the phone 48 hours before the incident.===

===This is a horrific event, that might have turned out better if the father had taken the children but there is not much we can do about it now. It is the fault of the person that handled the custody of the children.===

Current Events-> March 2nd 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12621832

===Two People were shot and killed while two were seriously injured at the Frankfurt Airport in Germany. They were reported to be a US Soldier and the bus driver that were killed. A 21 year old suspect was arrested shortly after the shooting. It wasn't clear to be a terrorist attack but they are determining it as one. They are closely examining the situation and plan on having it concluded soon.===

===The shooting is a horrific occurrence although they could have given some information about the people that were injured. The News believes That a death is more appealing to people than an injury but what about if its someone's family and they don't know it. Hopefully they will have the situation dealt with soon. I have no concern with this situation though because it had no effect on me or my family, friends.===

Very interesting article. Who is "they"? Please remember to focus on the “why” of the article. Why did this happen? And why is it world news? Please be sure to edit your work. (6)

Current Events-> February 17th 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12493980

===Some Scientists have been monitoring the sun and found that today and tomorrow the earth will be hit by solar flares. These Eruptions will hit the earths magnetic field and possibly knocking out all technology. Alan Thomson said "Our current view is that the solar flares will likely hit by Later today or Early tomorrow." Its not as Dangerous as they first thought it was, but it still can cause us to see the Northern Lights in the UK. Because of the current temperatures it might prevent us from seeing any aura.===

===My reflection to this was that i was worrying but after i read on in the article i figured it wasn't as big of a deal. The Solar flares could possibly knock out technology but not forever maybe a day or a week at most. The solar flares most likely just to send northern lights to the UK I'm which isn't very bad. Although if it does end up being a big eruption it could end up wiping out the technology for longer amount of time. But sure we can cope without Technology for a little while, sure we will have to work like everyone did before we had the internet or tv but it might help us realize how technology has made us lazy.=== Wyatt, Watch your word choice! You also need to take time to EDIT your work (i.e. capital I’s). Please be sure to answer the question: Why is this piece of news globally important? (8)

Current Events> February 7th 2011 [|Wikileaks Prosecution] ==The Issue is the conflict with wiki leaks of the united states realizing that they were releasing their secrets. They finally clued in after he released a blue print for a Nuclear bomb and North Korea started looking in to it.The creator of wiki leaks has also been convicted of sex scandals. He has been fleeing from country to country for the last 6-8 years to prevent him from being caught.==

==I Agree with this because he has committed sex scandals but all the stuff about the wiki leaks i think is ridiculous. They could have prevented him from getting files if they wanted to but they didn't so it is their own fault. If Canadian secrets would be discovered i would look into it because it gives you some perception on what the government is hiding. you can really tell if your government is looking out for the people or are stealing from the people that appointed them. I believe that the sex scandals should be dealt with and the wiki leaks should be dropped.== Wyatt, This is a current events report and therefore should follow the guidelines provided on the home page.
