New Zealand has decided that the same sex will be able to get legally married. Last night parlement voted to allow the same sex be married but some religious groups were against the law, parlement have been debating heavily over the last year for the law. New Zealand is now the 13th country to have same sex marriages.

My comment is, its good because I have two aunties that are lesbians and they will be able to get married now if they want.

A US man's dog has eaten $500 worth of 5 hundred dollar bills. The owner of the dog was eating dinner at a restaurant and it seems the dog got hungry whist waiting. After the dog had finished processing the money the owner took out the hundred dollar bills and sent them to US Treasury Dept and they said it will take about two years for him to be able get the money back.

Money after being eaten

My comment about this happening is quite funny but sad as he left the dog in the car for how many hours or minutes while he was eating dinner. To have prevented this money being eat say if he wasn't living in an apartment he could have left him/her in the back yard.

Twitter has just discovered that about half of Justin Bieber's followers are fake which should make Lady Gaga first for the most amount of followers on Twitter. Justin Bieber  had 37.3 million total followers but actually only 17.8 were real account users. Twitter found these out by spotting users with followers and seeing if reasonable Tweets or posts have been sent and has some or no spamming.

My thought about this is quite stupid because why would you make numerous Twitter accounts just make an ordinary person have more followers.

Nik Wallenda has announced that he will tightrope across the Grand Canyon in June. This is his first major stunt since his last tightrope across Niagara Falls last year. Wallenda is the seventh generation of the Flying Wallendas a family acrobatics group. “This is another one of my dreams coming true," Nik Wallenda told reporters in a telephone interview. He is Planing to do this new event 500m in the air without an safety harness.

My comment about the event is that I personally would not like to do such of a thing comparing that I have a slight fear of heights.

Homework Expectations

Amount

We think that 30-45 minutes every weeknight is a reasonable expectation for homework. Per week that equals approximately 2.5 hours per week of homework.

2 terms = 20 weeks. Every homework task should take you 5 hours to do.

Quality

You need to work on each homework task for at least 2.5 to 5 hours. It should like it was done by a year 8 student. The product you make (if relevant) should look good quality.

Blog Post

- must be at least 2 paragraphs

- has to be punctuated correctly, spell checked and no errors

New Zealand has now made a new law that no one under 18 can be able to use a sun bed and also prevents anyone that has fair skin to be able to use a sun bed as well . The health minister Jo Goodhew had announced the law last week to decrease skin cancer rates. The new law will take place at the end of the year 2013.

My comment about this new law is that I personally like the idea of trying to decrease the number of skin cancer cases in New Zealand as I had an uncle that died to skin cancer.

Over a two day period has been a cat beauty competition in which 200 cats have been brought to Romania to have the judges look at their cat and a Canadian Sphinx has won the competition even know for its bewildering ugliness it was presented well from the eye of the judges and one of these cats you could be looking at $5000.

My thought about the competition is really bad because other cat owners all around the world will feel bad to have there cat not in the competition or the had lost the competition. But I think the cat that won wasn't the best looking cat if I had an opinion.

On 6th of April 2013 it was the World Pillow Fight Day and which is the fifth time countries have celebrated this event and in which thousands of people have participated throughout the hour. The pillow fight only lasts for one hour but no-one actually got hurt and the two top rules are no hitting anyone with a pair glasses or no hitting people really hard. The countries or citys that celebrated this event were Hong Kong, London, Chicago, Boston, Toronto, Amsterdam, Sao Paulo, Barcelona and Zurich.The event is so that many people can jump around and let go of access energy plus have a lot of fun.

My though about this event would be that I would have enjoyed every aspect of this day but sadly my country and or my town did not celebrate this event

P1 Bike 120Km Within a 12 Week Period

On Monday morning I had officially biked 122.4km over the last 8 weeks of school I would have finished a bit earlier but my bike had a flat tyre and I had to learn how to mend it which my stepdad helped me with.

This is how I figured it out.
If I biked 10.2km to and from school for 10 days then I biked to my friends house which was 12.2km plus 10.2 today it would equal 122.4km which was my goal.

I am still biking every wednesday to school for Hockey as it helps with my fitness. At weekends I bike to my friends for the thrill of the bike ride and for me to know that I am keeping fit and healthy. I completed this challenge because it was an activity the crossed over with my usual life and its homework.
