Universities Ban Smart Watches

Universities Ban Smart Watches

The article is about universities has ban watches because some smart watches have internet access, that means they have a higher chance to cheat in exams. In an attempt to decrease the chance of cheating, smart watches are banned during exams. Although Massey University already planned to ban smart watches, the students will still cheat by writing on there hands, legs and writing on small pieces of paper and cramming it into the bullet point of a ball pen. This event took place in Massey university. Massey university is located  

in three places, Palmerston North NZ, Albany NZ and Wellington NZ. According to the wikipedia from 2008 Annual report, there are 112 doctor compleatshions, 3384 Maori students, and 895 pasifika student. This event happened early 2015, I think in the future all schools and universities will be allowed to bring any device. The smartwatch is very popular and students are starting to bring them to school. Student that want to cheat will go to all ends to make it possible.

Inventors: Who invented paper

Who invented paper

Paper was invented in ancient China during the Han dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD) and spread slowly to the west via the Silk Road.  Cai Lun was the amazing person who invented paper. He's birth date is

50 A.D., castration date is 75 A.D. Died date 121 A.D. The creator of this extremely important invasion is only somewhat known outside East Asia. Cai Lun (simplified Chinese: 蔡伦; traditional Chinese: 蔡倫; pinyin: Cài Lún; Wade–Giles: Ts'ai Lun) (ca. 50 AD – 121), courtesy name Jingzhong (敬仲), was a Han dynasty Chinese eunuch and official. He is traditionally regarded as the inventor of paper and the papermaking process, in forms recognizable in modern times as paper (as opposed to papyrus). Although early forms of paper had existed in China since the 2nd century BC, he was responsible for the first significant improvement and standardization of paper-making by adding essential new materials into its composition. Like wood pulp, fiber crop and papyrus paper chemicals.

My Perfect Day

My perfect day

It’s a cold rainy day. I can snuggle and cozy up beside the wood burner with my family while watching a movie and sipping a cup of hot cocoa. When we finished the movie we can play family board games. And to finish the day off and relax in the hot spa.

The clouds are dark and grey, the wind is blowing as hard as a typhoon. The wood burner is spreading warmth around the house as fast as lighting. The hot cocoa is as hot as boiling water and as yummy as chocolate. The movie, The Minions is as funny as a clown; you could hear laughter and screams. The hot spa is nice and warm and so relaxing. Isn’t it a lovely day to spend inside the house.

ANZAC

ANZAC

With the coming of the Second World War, Anzac Day also served to commemorate the lives of Australians who died in that war. The meaning of Anzac Day today includes the remembrance of all Australians killed in military operations.

During war the ANZAC army ate Bully beef (canned corned beef) rice, jam, cocoa, tea, some bread and above all hard ANZAC biscuits (ANZAC wafer / ANZAC tile). They ate these food because there was no refrigeration so they had to eat food that would last a long time without getting spoiled. With the lack of refrigeration, meant that they could get very little fruit, vegetables, meat or dairy products. Chefs were then known as ‘camp cooks’ who learnt to blend a feast from rudimentary ingredients with little more than a pot and a naked flame.

The ANZAC army wears a Hat, Hat Badge, Collar Badge, Belt, Rifle (gun), Puttee, Tunic, Puggaree and Boots.

The Lego Movie

Emmet Brickowski is just your average, everyday lego minifigure. He’s a normal guy who like to do

normal things like watch tv, go to work, eat hot wings and listen to everybody's favorite song “Everything is awesome.” As well as not so normal things like buy overpriced coffee, that will be thirty-seven dollars and watch a show on tv called “Where are my pants?”

But it all changes until the day Emmet stumbles into a hole when he accidentally discovers “a red thing”. It is a piece of resistance, a powerful legendary artifact.

It turns out Emmet’s not so average after all. Does this ordinary guy have what it takes to become an extraordinary hero and save the universe?

EARTHQUAKE

EARTHQUAKE

Did you know New Zealand has lots of earthquakes because we are on the earthquake plate. On 4th September 2010 at 4:35am in Christchurch, there was an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1. On 22nd February 2011 at 12:51pm there was an aftershock of a magnitude of 6.3. This earthquake caused devastating aftershock that killed 182 people. Even though the aftershock was 0.8 less than the first earthquake, the aftershock was more deadly because of the time and because it happened on a busy weekday . The aftershock was at 12:51pm not a good one when crazy drunk people are all over the streets. While the first earthquake killed nobody because it was at 4:35am where people are sleeping, going home from the bar or going home after the night shift.

Liquefaction is when soil, which is solid, is shaken so hard that it loses its strength and behaves like a liquid. In some areas of Christchurch, the soil is soft and sandy. When the earthquake struck, water forced its way to the surface, weakening the ground under.   

Earth's rocky outer layer is divided into huge segments, called plates. These plates move very slowly, traveling a few centimeters a year. When two plates push against each other, pressure builds in the earth's crusts near the boundary. An earthquake occurs when the crusts breaks and the rock on either side of this fault line suddenly moved, causing the ground to shake.
