The Health Effect of Low Gravity

While in space humans will begin to have some health effects related to low gravity since we are used to gravity on Earth.

When people first go into low gravity they will usually begin to vomit or have nausea. This is commenly referred to “space sickness”. That is not the only effects of low gravity (if you can call the last examples effect). People can have reduced muscle mass, eye problems, and deterioration of their skeleton. One of the ways NASA has chosen to combat this (except the eye problem) is exercise. NASA has not made any other ways to keep these from happening and the eye problem has raised concern for future space missions that will take a long time.

Saved at Sea Book Review

Saved at Sea is a book by the author O.F. Walton. The book follows the story of Alick Fergusson ,and how he and his grandfather run a lighthouse, save a child from drowning, and then find salvation in Christ.

Spoilers ahead skip this paragraph if you intend to read the book. Alick Fergusson is a child who’s father has gone on a ship to the East and hasn’t returned yet and who’s mother died of grief after his father left. Alick’s grandfather takes Alick in and allows him to help with the lighthouse. Eventually a ship is caught on some rocks near the lighthouse during a storm. So Alick, his grandfather, and another man who helps at the lighthouse name Jem Millar, wait at the lighthouse until the storm dies down some and then go out in their row boat to help the people trapped on the boat. When they arrive a sailor gives them a child and then as others try to get into the boat. The boat is sucked under the water with the only person to survive being the child who was put in the boat first. Later they find out that the child’s name is Timpey. They decide that she will stay with them since they think that her parents are at the bottom of the sea. A few chapter later Jem Millar drowns, and his family then leaves the island to live elsewhere. A new man is then found to help Alick’s grandfather with the lighthouse. When the man gets to the lighthouse Alick and his grandfather at first do not realize who he is until the man reveals him self to be Alick’s father. What had happened was they had been captured by natives and held prisoner for around 10 years until finally let out. But later the find out that Timpey’s parents are still, alive and that Timpey had been going back to England instead of spending the summer in India with her parents. Soon Timpey leaves but Alick leaves to, you see Timpey’s father thought he could repay Alick and his grandfather by paying for Alick to go to school. Alick’s grandfather and father agree, and he is then sent to school. However before he leaves him and his grandfather find salvation in Christ after a man by the name of Mr. Davis talks with them.

Overall I liked the book and while it was short I have no problem with it. I would recommend reading this book if you are a slow reader or don’t like to read really long books like “The Lord of the Rings”.

John Glover

John Glover was born in England in the year 1767. He was the son of a small farm owner. John Glover showed a talent for drawing at a early age and would fill his sketch books with drawings of nature. When he was older John Glover took lessons from master painters and many times would go to little known places to sketch nature. He would try to make his paintings look as real as possible with dramatic lighting effects, lots of colors, and realistic details. In addition, he would also make his paintings clear and with a lot of light instead of how most paintings were done in his time. John Glover died on December 9 in 1849 leaving a massive legacy to the painting industry.

Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order

It has been around 11 years since Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2 was released. It was the last Star Wars game to be only single player. But Respawn had now made a new single player only Star Wars game, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. I at first wasn’t excited for this game since I had Battlefront 2 and that was a great game since I enjoy multiplayer. But as it got closer to release and more game play started to come in I began to think that this could be a really good Star Wars game and I thought I would get it. I am glad that I did the game is amazing one of the greatest video games of all time.

First Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order’s combat is amazing with great melee combat and fun to use force powers. Like throwing people over edges or my favorite, pulling enemies to me and then stabbing my lightsaber right into them. Fallen Order has a skill tree in where you will need skill points to unlock new powers, be able to use more force powers without having to recharge it, and get more health. To get this skill points you need to kill enemies. Over all Fallen Order has a great combat system with force powers that will make you want to use them again.

The story is also really good compared to Star Wars Battlefront 2 which had a decent story line this game has a way better one. You play as a Jedi named Cal Kestis who has survived Order 66 and is now working at a scrapyard before something happens that exposes him as a Jedi. Before he is killed by the Second Sister (someone from the empire hunting him) he is saved by Cere a person who wants to rebuild the Jedi Order and Greez, Cere’s captain. I will not go any farther then so that the story is not spoiled too much. The story is good with Cal being a good character who starts out some what generic and then as BD-1 ( your droid that helps you with a lot of things) and other characters show up becomes he becomes less generic. Cere is a good character her past is shrouded in mystery until later in the game and Greez usually being there to get laughed at but is not at all like Jar Jar Bings is like. The lines between Greez and Cal are some of his best lines in the game and can be very fun to listen to.

There have been a only a few minor glitches in Fallen Order that I have run into and one big one. The small glitches happen usually if you died from a enemy and now your going to go back and fight him. For example once a large frog like creature showed up and was moving without moving his legs while sticking his tongue out which he should have done later. The one major glitch I had was with the audio not working. What had happened was that when I was in the menu I chose continue instead of load save and while that shouldn’t do anything normally there was a glitch so I didn’t have any audio. So I went back to the main menu and chose load save and then it worked. These glitches do not change the game in any way and except for the no audio glitch they all go right back to normal and even the audio glitch is a simple fix. Over all these glitches do not hurt the game in anyway but hopefully Respawn will fix them and any other glitches that people are having that I have not run into.

Over all Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order is a great game with amazing combat and a good story. I highly recommend this game for people who like action adventure games.

The Christ the Redeemer Statue

The statue of Christ in Rio Dem Janeiro Brazil is one of the most well known statues of the world so today I will be looking at its history.

A priest named Pedro Maria Boss was the first to suggest that a Christian monument should be built on Mount Corcovado in the 1850s but the project was not approved so work did not begin. The Catholic Circle of Rio made a second suggestion in 1920. The group also organized a event called Monument Week where they collected signatures on whether the statue should be built and donations from people. They were allowed to build the statue and in 1922 work started. The statues design was of Christ with his arms open which was a symbol of peace. The work lasted nine years and cost the amount of $250,000 US dollars but would have costed $3,500,000 US dollars in today’s money. The statue is made is made out of concrete but has a outer layer of soapstone. The statue was opened on the 12 of October 1931.

Tips for Star Wars Battlefront 2

Do you have trouble winning games in Star Wars Battlefront 2? Well I will help you with that. Today I will share important tips on how you may want to play Star Wars Battlefront 2. We will look over why you should play the objective, when to use battlepoints, and which class you should use when.

In SWBT 2 there are lots of game modes. In these modes you will want to play the objective whether it is taking out a walker or securing the area. The only way to win the game is to attack or defend the objective except for two game modes. First when playing a game mode like Blast where you simply kill the enemy team don’t hide some where unless you are sneak attacking people. Try to get kills at all times if you are in a match with someone who is very good then try to attack them when they don’t expect to be. In game modes like Galactic Assualt if you are trying to take out a walker run to the weapon that you need to get and then if there are enemies close by try to run and get to cover. Remember a kill sign will be on your head and enemies can see it if they look in your direction. Also try to get to a safe location where you can fire but make it close enough because if you are to far away then your ion shot or rocket launcher will be useless. If your are trying to plant a bomb then either run to the objective as fast as possible and get behind cover or take out all the enemies. While playing you may also have to take a area until it is secure. You will not only have to take it but any enemies in the area will make it to where you can not take the objective simply try to take out enemies or if they are in a defensive post try to use your grenades or other explosives.

Battlepoints are Star Wars Battlefronts 2 way to get hero’s, villains, vehicles, and special units. You will get them when you kill a enemy, play the objective, or get a assist and then once you have enough points in a match you can use them. You will want to use battlepoints because they can be one of the ways that your team can win the battle unless the enemy knows the best way to take you out and live through it. Of course that doesn’t mean that these units will make you win you will have to know how to use them. Now lets see when you should use battlepoints. First you in bigger game modes you may want to save up to be a hero or villain but these can be taken except for rare moments during the match when your in the lobby and one becomes available. Though I thing you always want enough battlepoints so that if one becomes available then you get them. You may also want to use your battlepoints on other units though for example if you like to annoy enemies and get to places quickly then you may want a rocket trooper or if you want to destroy people as quickly as possible then you may want a Death Trooper. Even then you can still use your battlepoints for vehicles. First if you are in a defending or attacking a large objective you will probably want a vehicle or rocket trooper though if you are in a small building then you may want a hero, villain, or Enforcer. Also remember that when you have a hero, villain, or special unit that you will not earn as much battlepoints as a normal trooper. I have not figured out if that happens with vehicles but it is important to remember that when playing.

There are four trooper classes in Star Wars Battlefront 2 these are the classes that you start with in most game modes. First there is the Assualt a soldier that is best for using if you want to run around and destroy enemies. Then there is the heavy who has the most health and the most explosives of all the class but is slow. Next is the officer. The officer is a support unit and has boost to help teammates and turrents to stop enemies along with a flash bang grenade to stun enemies. And finally there is the specialist. This class is best for sniping. This class has a stun grenade, a close range weapon for when it needs it and thermal binoculars to help it see enemies. First before I begin I will say that you do not have to use. These classes in the situations that I give these are just suggestions. OK now first if you are in a small to medium size room or space then the assualt, heavy, and even the officer are good for this situation. If you are trying to clear an objective of enemies the assualt or heavy can work. It just depends on if you are going to dodge in and out of the room or just fire as long as possible. The specialist is good for long range and if you have a star card that allows you not to be seen on the minimap while your ablite is active then you can flank. The specialist is also good for clearing an objective that is open and while you probably can’t be in the objective you can help your teammates by killing enemies.

I hope this tips help you in the game. If you would like to play with me and you have a Xbox One as well as Battlefront 2 my username is Kingslayer7553. I will not be able to play at all times since I only have Xbox Live Gold every few months.

Simon Bolivar

Simon Bolivar is known as the George Washington of South America because he liberated the countries that are now known as Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela from Spain.

Simon Bolivar was born in the city of Caracas Venezuela in 1783. Both of his parents died while he was young and so he lived with his grandfather. Simon at the age of 16 would go to school in Spain he was able to do this because he was of Spanish decent. Six years later he would go on a trip to Aventine Hill in Italy which legend says where Romulus and Remus founded the city of Rome. He then vowed to free his home land from Spain and for the next two years he would visit the United States and France to learn about ideas of liberty. When Napoleon dethroned the king of Spain in 1808 South America was effected and then in 1810 the city of Caracas overthrew the viceroy that Spain had placed over them. You probably have heard of Patrick Henry’s speech of Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death well Simon Bolivar also had one of these speeches at a national congress. The speech went like this “Let us lay the cornerstone of American freedom without fear. To hesitate is to perish!” However the movement was then destroyed by a natural disaster. A earthquake hit the city Caracas destroying building and homes and leaving 15,000 to 20,000 people dead. After the earthquake people still loyal to Spain tried to take over Caracas. This endangered the lives of the patriots who lived there so Simon Bolivar and other patriots left for New Granada or present day Colombia. In 1813 Simon Bolivar invaded his hometown and was victorious. But the royalists were still fighting and by January of 1818 Simon Bolivar had only 4,000 troops, and then by March he had lost half of them. His army then crossed the Andes and went into New Granada and at Boyaca defeated the royalists there. Then in 1820 Simon Bolivar was made president of the Republic of Colombia but fighting resumed four months later in March of 1821. In the final battle against the royalist Simon Bolivar with his army crossed back over the Andes and defeated the royalist at the battle of Junin. Simon Bolivar would later be exile from Bolivia while the country was in political termole. Simon Bolivar resigned from politics in 1830 and a short time later died possible of tuberculosis at the age of 47. His body was later moved to Venezuela but not until 1942 for many people it was a thank you to him that was long overdue.

Soccer Season has Ended

Soccer has ended where I live and was my finally year unless my city adds a middle school league. Before I get into this years season I need to tell you about my last two seasons. My first year in this league we only had three teams. My team was the second best with the best team being so good that they didn’t lose a single game and as far as I know didn’t get scored on in every single game. The next year there were four teams and my team was the worst with another team right before us. And then this year has been the best year probably of playing soccer and my sister moved up to my league as well. We were the best team this year and only lost two games one we lost against the second best team. Thankfully we had already beat them three times. We then lost after most some of are best players were demorlized after we lost. We then went on to beat the team that we lost against the second time. So this year was a very good year with us beating three games out of four games for two teams and us beating one team 4 out of 4 times.

One finally thing. Do you play soccer if so then what has been your best year?

The Raccoon Hunt in Where the Red Fern Grows

In Where the Red Fern Grows, there is a raccoon hunt in which Billy must face many challenges such as finding a spot to hunt, outsmarting an old raccoon, and helping his grandfather. Have you ever faced a hard challenge. How did you solve it? As you will see Billy uses many ways to overcome this challenges.

When the hunt starts Billy, his dad, and his grandfather have to find a spot to hunt. While all the other hunters decide to go to the same place as the others. Billy decided to go farther into the woods then them so that they don’t get any raccoons that he could have gotten instead.

During there first day of hunting Billy’s dogs are chasing a raccoon when it disappears close by a rail fence and hackberry tree. His dogs get confused but one of his dogs then picks up the scent. The other dog then jumped over the rail fence and headed for a sycamore tree. After killing the raccoon the judge that is with them says he may have figured out how the raccoon had gotten over the rail fence. When the got there the judge explained how the raccoon had done it. The coon would climb up the hackberry tree and get on one of its limb and then jump to a limb of the sycamore.

While chasing a raccoon Billy’s grandfather trips over a log while no one else notices. After they kill the coons they notice that Grandfather was gone and begin to look for him. When the find him they look at his leg and Billy’s dad says that it is either badly sprained or it is broken. Him and the judge begin to make a fire and to slap Billy’s grandfather in the face to wake him up. When it is morning they pick Billy’s grandfather up and begin to head back to camp where a doctor is. While they are moving toward the camp some men find them and help them get Grandfather to camp. Once they are there the doctor says he needs to come with him so that he can treat it and that Grandfather should be fine.

Billy would go on to win the hunt and would later move to the city after his dogs died and His grandfather’s leg would eventually heal but he would always been thankful to his dogs for helping them move to the city.
