Christopher Nicholas Sarantakos is known as Criss Angel when he is on the stage. He is a magician. He is 46 and was born on December 19, 1967. He began his career in New York City. Criss’s dad John Sarantakos owned a restaurant and a doughnut shop. When Criss Angel began his career he made his mother float in their family living room. When Criss graduated from East Meadow High School, he wanted to be a Magician and not attend college.
In August 2002 Criss spent over 24 hours shackled, which means tied up in chains underwater. Criss was in a phone booth in New York Times Square. He wanted to show the world that he can untie himself without touching the shackles as well as to show the world he can hold his breath underwater. To get ready for the underwater magic trick he practiced in his neighbor’s swimming pool. At the end he did it his magic trick.
Furthermore, he did many amazing tricks and dangerous trick too. For example, Criss Angel walks on water. In addition, Criss Angel floats. Also, Criss Angel goes in a coffin and gets buried and gets out.
Here are three quotes that Criss said: "I stayed away from magicians when I was younger because I didn't want to think like them and wanted to create my own style." This is important because it tells that he likes to make his own magic tricks. Moreover, Criss said "If somebody's doing that for entertainment purposes, that's one thing. But if they claim to be communicating with the dead, I don't care if they're from my hometown, I don't care if they're my family members: I'll expose them and tell them what they really are." He means people can’t talk to the dead. He does not believe that is magic. Lastly, “I couldn’t ask for a better home. I’m honored to be part of this family. There couldn’t be a better fit they are the best.” This tells that he is a good man and he loves his family.

Walt Disney is a guy who created a splendid, most awesome, happiest place you could ever be in. He is also best known for his hard work and famous animations and movies. Who was Walt Disney?
Walt Disney was born on December 5, 1901, in Chicago, Illinois. He enjoyed drawing in his sketchbook and he even drew on his house with his sister!

The panda bear is one of the most favorite animals in the world. However, this animal will not exist if we don’t protect them. Only 1,000 pandas live in the wild today, while 100 pandas reside in zoos. Yet the panda remains one of the most endangered mammals.
Pandas live in the mountain ranges of Central China, within the provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu. They live in Central China because of the high bamboo forests where it’s cool and wet. They once lived in low areas, but forest clearing, and other development drove pandas to the mountains. When people develop more land it’s hard for the panda to find their food. Therefore, pandas migrate after the bamboo flowers, and when they can’t find their food, they die.
Some other interesting facts about pandas are that they are omnivores so they eat meat, and plants. Furthermore, they eat vines, rodents, and bamboo. Their diet is a balance of these foods. Sometimes pandas eat grass, small rodents, or newborn deer. In addition, pandas in the zoo eat bamboo, apples, sugar canes, rice gruel, sweet potatoes, and carrots. A panda weighs up to 300 pounds from eating bamboo. Another interesting fact is that they spend most of their time eating all day. Pandas are now found mostly in thick bamboo forests. In order to communicate with other pandas, they use their sense of smell.
In order to stop pandas from becoming extinct we should donate money to the World Wide Fund for nature. WWF would start a Nature Reserve Protection where no one can hunt the panda.
The Rubik’s cube is one of the worlds most played with puzzles. The creator of the cube was a Hungarian man who was an inventor and architect. His name was Erno Rubik. He created the first cube in 1974, which at the time was called a Magic Cube. Erno named it this because it stumped and confused people like magic. He created the cube by hand-carving the cubes together and marking each side with a different color adhesive paper. He wanted to make the cube because he was interested in the structural design. Erno wanted a working model to help explain 3-D geometry. Tom Kremer was the businessman behind the operation. Tom Kremer and Erno Rubik became partners because Tom was interested in the cube while at the International Toy Fair in Nuremburg, Germany. Because the toy was so popular and sold so well everyone lost interest in the cube (even Erno himself). Tom still fought for the cube even though no one liked it anymore. He got out there and promoted everyone into loving the cube again. In 1980, The Magic cube was given the new name of the Rubik’s cube. In 2013, a new and improved model of the Rubik’s cube was made. It was improved by adding faster durable mechanism and by replacing the adhesive paper with tiles. Over 350 million Rubik’s cubes have been sold WORLDWIDE!

The Trail of Tears was when the United States pushed the Native Americans to Oklahoma. The way people traveled by walking or steamboat. They used steamboat by going up and down the rivers. Also the travel conditions were harsh because of the drought, food was scarce for the trip and many diseases sickened people. To help them survive the trip, the U.S. government gave the Native Americans food to eat but it was not enough. At least 3,000-4,000 Native Americans died by the walk.

Do you want to try the world’s hottest pepper? You better deliberate with your mind and appetite before you even think about putting the world’s most scorching pepper in your very own mouth. Trust me, you shouldn’t try this pepper that weighs in at about 2.2 million Scoville Heat Units. The intensity within this devilish pepper is electrifying so it is highly recommended that you don’t mess with it and its evil powers.
The world record for the hottest pepper belongs to Ed Currie and his Carolina Reaper. Grown in South Carolina, this pepper is a hybrid Capsicum Chinese that overrode the top spot from the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. The Carolina Reaper was verified at the Winthrop University and it was declared the king of all spicy peppers. The fruit was originally called HP 22 B, which represents High Power, Pot No. 22, Plant B.
Like stated above, one individual Carolina Reaper measured in at about 2,200,000 Scoville Heat Units. Scoville Heat Units is the system used to distinguish how fiery something is. Wilbur Scoville devised this scale about a century ago by using a solution of sugar and water to dilute an extract of capsaicin oil from a pepper. This process occurred until tasters couldn’t taste the heat from the pepper at all anymore when they bit into it. In comparison to a jalapeño, the Carolina Reaper is about 400 times spicier!
Ed Currie thinks his world record is impressive and all, but he decided that he was going to produce an even more intense pepper. He developed interest in peppers when he first tasted one from the Caribbean. Currie’s final plan is to lead his company, PuckerButt Pepper Company into a success future so that he can retire before his young kids grow up. As much as Currie wants to breed spiciness into his pepper, he also wants to incorporate some sweetness into them. There is a famous YouTube video from Ted The Fire Breathing Idiot who eats four Carolina Reapers. After eating the four Carolina Reapers along with some 2 x 7 Pot Brain Strains, Ted is truly feeble.
So in conclusion, the Carolina Reaper was granted the title of hottest pepper in the world. This devastating pepper has the ability to completely annihilate your appetite if you ever dared to try it. With one Carolina Reaper averaging about 2.2 million Scoville Heat Units, this pepper is drastically blazing. If you ever tried a couple, you better get ready to puke. So next time you say “I want to taste the world’s spiciest pepper!” you better get prepared for your stomach to churn and spin around as you will totally regret that move. The Carolina Reaper will not lose to any competitors, as it will destroy any of them who think they are worthy enough.
SPEED KILLS By Brandon Rios Would you ever think of running faster than a cheetah? Well if you did, good luck. Good luck with that because the top speed on that cat is 70 miles per hour (mph), and no one will run as fast as the cheetah. Today I’m going to change your mind on speed, and what makes speed. The Venom GT will dominate the cheetah’s speed.
The Venom GT broke the worlds record being the fastest car. The cars country of origin is the United Kingdom. What makes this car go so fast is its 1,244 hoarse power (hp). It can go 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds. Can a cheetah go that fast in 2.7 seconds? February 25, 2014 the Venom GT set a Guinness World Book-record for going 270 mph. There is so much more about this car but Dana won’t let me finish so don’t be lazy and search about this car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In soccer, every player has a job to do. The goalkeeper has the most important job. His job is to guard and protect the goal. The bigger the goalkeeper is the better. He must be quick. He should stay at the goal and not wonder around the field and keep his eyes on the ball.
One way the goalkeeper protects the goal is by using the full-extension dive. The full-extension dive is a move the goalkeeper makes when a ball is heading for the corner of the goal. Then the goalkeeper stretches his body and stops the ball from reaching the goal. The goalkeeper stretches his arms out in front of his face to protect his face from the ball. Also he uses his legs to jump to the corner of the goal and stretches his legs to do the full-extension dive. His goal is to catch the ball to prevent the ball from reaching the goal.

The Lost Boys of Sudan 20,000 boys lost their homes because of the Sudan war in 1983. The war of the Sudan happened because of their Religion, ethnicity, and regional issues. As you already know over 20,000 boys lost their homes and maybe their families.
Many boys went back to their village but found nothing but dark smoke and fire. They would often run away and find other boys that lost their homes and could not find their families. Later they would split into groups. Some were named leader and rode their boys to safety. Since there were so many young boys who cried, some older boys adopted them and were responsible for them. On the way they noticed that they didn’t have any food or water, so they were forced to eat bark off of a tree, eat grass, or drink there own urine.
The lost boys traveled from South Sudan to the edge of Ethiopia to Kenya. It took them about 6 to 10 weeks to get to their destination. At Kenya they lived in refugee camps. In the refugee camps they learned to read, write, and play games. But around the year 2000 the lost boys had to leave Kenya. Later some were brought to America and SOME went to college.
A red bug is 1/50 inch long and can be red and orange in color. They make humans the their host. A host is a place where parasite or organism can live. Humans can die from contact with a red bug. Adult red bugs go to protected places to lay their eggs in the spring. After the eggs hatch, they go to a plant habitat to find a living thing to live on. When they get onto the human host, they usually live on the elbow, knees, ankles and armpits. However, they do not suck out the blood. Instead, they put in some saliva for 3-4 days. When they leave, it will leave a red mark.
How to protect yourself
In order to protect yourself, you need to wear loose clothing. Before going outside wear repellent spray. However, if you do not get bitten you need to take a warm shower with in 2 hours. Stay away from tall grasses and weeds so that the red bug will not make you its host.

Math is all around you. Count your fingers, I’m to going wait, BOOM! You just counted to ten! See you have math all around you. We use math in our everyday life. For example when making a cake so we don’t mess it up, making sure it tastes good we need math! Utilizing grams, cups, pints, quarts, gallons to measure ingredients to make sure the cake dissolves in your mouth hmmmmmm! Math is also important so you don’t get deceived when counting your dollars and cents when you get your change. When you use fractions you share fairly like when you have 4/4 you divide it in half and it equals 2/4 or 1/2. I hope you see math is important. Sources: Parents.com, Tutoring 911.com

My favorite thing that Nate Robinson did was in the slam dunk contest. After the first round he went to change into all green to represent kryptonite, but he called it “KryptoNate.” Nate Robinson dunked over Dwight Howard in the 2008-09 slam dunk contest.

The Scorching Carolina Reaper

Do you want to try the world’s hottest pepper? You better deliberate with your mind and appetite before you even think about putting the world’s most scorching pepper in your very own mouth. Trust me, you shouldn’t try this pepper that weighs in at about 2.2 million Scoville Heat Units. The intensity within this devilish pepper is electrifying so it is highly recommended that you don’t mess with it and its evil powers.
The world record for the hottest pepper belongs to Ed Currie and his Carolina Reaper. Grown in South Carolina, this pepper is a hybrid Capsicum Chinese that overrode the top spot from the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. The Carolina Reaper was verified at the Winthrop University and it was declared the king of all spicy peppers. The fruit was originally called HP 22 B, which represents High Power, Pot No. 22, Plant B.
Like stated above, one individual Carolina Reaper measured in at about 2,200,000 Scoville Heat Units. Scoville Heat Units is the system used to distinguish how fiery something is. Wilbur Scoville devised this scale about a century ago by using a solution of sugar and water to dilute an extract of capsaicin oil from a pepper. This process occurred until tasters couldn’t taste the heat from the pepper at all anymore when they bit into it. In comparison to a jalapeño, the Carolina Reaper is about 400 times spicier!
Ed Currie thinks his world record is impressive and all, but he decided that he was going to produce an even more intense pepper. He developed interest in peppers when he first tasted one from the Caribbean. Currie’s final plan is to lead his company, PuckerButt Pepper Company into a success future so that he can retire before his young kids grow up. As much as Currie wants to breed spiciness into his pepper, he also wants to incorporate some sweetness into them. There is a famous YouTube video from Ted The Fire Breathing Idiot who eats four Carolina Reapers. After eating the four Carolina Reapers along with some 2 x 7 Pot Brain Strains, Ted is truly feeble.
So in conclusion, the Carolina Reaper was granted the title of hottest pepper in the world. This devastating pepper has the ability to completely annihilate your appetite if you ever dared to try it. With one Carolina Reaper averaging about 2.2 million Scoville Heat Units, this pepper is drastically blazing. If you ever tried a couple, you better get ready to puke. So next time you say “I want to taste the world’s spiciest pepper!” you better get prepared for your stomach to churn and spin around as you will totally regret that move. The Carolina Reaper will not lose to any competitors, as it will destroy any of them who think they are worthy enough.
SPEED KILLS
ReplyDeleteBy Brandon Rios
Would you ever think of running faster than a cheetah? Well if you did, good luck. Good luck with that because the top speed on that cat is 70 miles per hour (mph), and no one will run as fast as the cheetah. Today I’m going to change your mind on speed, and what makes speed. The Venom GT will dominate the cheetah’s speed.
The Venom GT broke the worlds record being the fastest car. The cars country of origin is the United Kingdom. What makes this car go so fast is its 1,244 hoarse power (hp). It can go 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds. Can a cheetah go that fast in 2.7 seconds? February 25, 2014 the Venom GT set a Guinness World Book-record for going 270 mph. There is so much more about this car but Dana won’t let me finish so don’t be lazy and search about this car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How to Protect the Goal
ReplyDeleteBy: Marcos Rios
In soccer, every player has a job to do. The goalkeeper has the most important job. His job is to guard and protect the goal. The bigger the goalkeeper is the better. He must be quick. He should stay at the goal and not wonder around the field and keep his eyes on the ball.
One way the goalkeeper protects the goal is by using the full-extension dive. The full-extension dive is a move the goalkeeper makes when a ball is heading for the corner of the goal. Then the goalkeeper stretches his body and stops the ball from reaching the goal. The goalkeeper stretches his arms out in front of his face to protect his face from the ball. Also he uses his legs to jump to the corner of the goal and stretches his legs to do the full-extension dive. His goal is to catch the ball to prevent the ball from reaching the goal.

The Lost Boys of Sudan
ReplyDelete20,000 boys lost their homes because of the Sudan war in 1983. The war of the Sudan happened because of their Religion, ethnicity, and regional issues. As you already know over 20,000 boys lost their homes and maybe their families.
Many boys went back to their village but found nothing but dark smoke and fire. They would often run away and find other boys that lost their homes and could not find their families. Later they would split into groups. Some were named leader and rode their boys to safety. Since there were so many young boys who cried, some older boys adopted them and were responsible for them. On the way they noticed that they didn’t have any food or water, so they were forced to eat bark off of a tree, eat grass, or drink there own urine.
The lost boys traveled from South Sudan to the edge of Ethiopia to Kenya. It took them about 6 to 10 weeks to get to their destination. At Kenya they lived in refugee camps. In the refugee camps they learned to read, write, and play games. But around the year 2000 the lost boys had to leave Kenya. Later some were brought to America and SOME went to college.

THE RED BUG
ReplyDeleteBy Jeremiah E
About the red bug
A red bug is 1/50 inch long and can be red and orange in color. They make humans the their host. A host is a place where parasite or organism can live. Humans can die from contact with a red bug. Adult red bugs go to protected places to lay their eggs in the spring. After the eggs hatch, they go to a plant habitat to find a living thing to live on. When they get onto the human host, they usually live on the elbow, knees, ankles and armpits. However, they do not suck out the blood. Instead, they put in some saliva for 3-4 days. When they leave, it will leave a red mark.
How to protect yourself
In order to protect yourself, you need to wear loose clothing. Before going outside wear repellent spray. However, if you do not get bitten you need to take a warm shower with in 2 hours. Stay away from tall grasses and weeds so that the red bug will not make you its host.

Why Math is important by: Jalen Tripp
ReplyDeleteMath is all around you. Count your fingers, I’m to going wait, BOOM! You just counted to ten! See you have math all around you. We use math in our everyday life.
For example when making a cake so we don’t mess it up, making sure it tastes good we need math! Utilizing grams, cups, pints, quarts, gallons to measure ingredients to make sure the cake dissolves in your mouth hmmmmmm!
Math is also important so you don’t get deceived when counting your dollars and cents when you get your change.
When you use fractions you share fairly like when you have 4/4 you divide it in half and it equals 2/4 or 1/2.
I hope you see math is important.
