I'm going to visit Pripet Swamp in Ukraine, the capital of Ukraine is Kyiv. Ukraine is bordered by Russia, Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova. The only ocean that touches Ukraine is the Atlantic ocean. If you would like to go here put this in your global positioning system (GPS) 51° 48′ 55″ N, 24° 57′ 10″ E. Long cold winter and short hot summers winter 18 F- 30 F. Summers are 70-90 F. It looks like any other swamp that has a river in it. All I could find is that there was on war in the swamp. This swamp is important because is is a historical land mark for a war. It is about 8,500 miles from my last location and I took a to Ukraine. I have payed $5,600 and that's not with food I have used almost all my savings but its worth it. I would do it again if i had the money any time at all. My parents are happy to hear I am coming home soon.

I am going to visit Lahuen Nadi Natural Monument in Chile. The capital of Chile is Santiago and is boarded by Peru, Agneta, and Bolivia. The only body of water bordering Chile is the Pacific Ocean. Chile has wind speed of about 8 mines an hour, hot and cold spells and mildly to high humidity. Lahuen Nadi Natural Monument looks like every other swamp sadly wet and full animals that's not different. All the history i could find is that is was almost wiped out my fires in the 1800s and is was made for scientific research of the Alerce trees. I think its important because who knows that tree could hold the cure to something like cancer. it was like 4,500 miles from my last visit I'm going have to live in like a Dumpster if i cant get some more money. I may have to find a cheaper way than flying if I'm going to finish this i could like never mind ill just ride a boat or something. Its going to cost me $1,500-$1,800 for air fair and hotel and car. Some one stole my new cloths I just got and my phone. Id say the changes in animal life would be the biggest change for me so many new or strange animals.

4th location

I am going to visit Okefenokee Swamp and it is on the United States. The capital of the United States is Washington D.C. The United States are bordered by Mexico and Canada. The United States are boarded by two bodies of water the Atlantic and Pacific ocean. If someone reading this wants to go to where in going here are the GPS coordinates
30° 51′ 3.43″ N, 82° 18′ 57.94″ W 30.850953, -82.316093. As you probably already know Florida is vary hot year round snow almost never falls rain is what your more for likely to see. Okefenokee Swamp is a peat filled swamp over 1,770 km² Okefenokee is Hitachi for bubbling water. It is one of the biggest peat swamps in the world. It is a wide habitat for many animals. from my third post it is over 6,000 miles long way......sigh. from my last swamp i visited its over 10,000 miles! My first plane was late so I missed my second plane and had to wait four until the next play to the United States. Man I am almost out of money and this hotel cost me $1,600 but it includes flight car and room. I cant wait to get to my next swamp i like to see all the plants and animals.

third location

I am going to visit the Fleurieu Peninsula in Australia. The capital of Australia is Canberra and no countries border Australia. Australia is bordered by the Pacific and Indian ocean. The chordates to Fleurieu Peninsula is 35°26'32.64"S 138°38'30.88"E. In Australia the north part is vary hot and rainy in the summer. The southern part is more like a mild winter 50s-60s F and in the summer in the 80s F. Australia is vary rocky but also has rain forests and swamps like the one I'm going to. The Fleurieu Peninsula was discovered by Charles Pierre Claret, comte de Fleurieu in 1802. The Fleurieu Peninsula homes some of the worlds best wine makers. Felurieu peninsula swamp is 5,000 miles away from my second location. A car hotel and flight would coy from $1,300-$1,500. Id say the biggest difference would be the price. Someone stole my luggage all i got left is my is the stuff i had with me.

Pitcher Plant

By

Firbird

Have you ever herd of a pitcher plant eating a monkey? This paper is about pitcher plants, also called Sarracenia purpurea. It will discuss parts or the pitcher plant and how they work,how they attract their prey and medical uses. The pitcher plant is a member of the milkweed family. Pitcher plants live in bogs, swamps, wet or sandy meadows and where the ground is acidic and water saturated. The pitcher plant eats insects and small mammals like rodents, the bigger pitcher plants called monkey cups are known to eat small monkeys. Some insects live in the trap of the pitcher plant like mosquitoes and a type of crab spider living off the trapped pray of the pitcher plant.

The rhizomes of the pitcher plant can live under ground for 20-30 years. The rhizomes is the part of the plant the leaves come from. The leaves are used to catch water and put it in the pitcher. Pitchers are a long narrow vessel or a pot belly trap. The hood and neck have little or no color so it makes light shine into the plant comforting? the prey to walk into the pitcher. Insects that are down in the pitcher and try to fly out sometimes hit the hood and then the insect will fall back down. The rim of the pitcher plant is waxy and some even have loose wax to stick to the preys feet making it even harder to walk. Inside the pitcher, after the waxy part, are stiff hairs that make it hard to get a good footing and make the insect unable to walk back up. After the hairs, the sides of the plant becomes a waxy, slick surface. The prey then drowns and gets digested by enzymes within the leaf. Some pitcher plants have a secretion to make the wings of the insect wet and useless. This secretion also breaks the surface tension of the water so insects that can walk on water can not on the pitcher plant. Some pitcher plants grow on tendrils, some can even climb up over ten meters. When they start to climb they make aerial pitchers. Aerial pitchers and the normal type look different but are on the same plant. Some types of pitcher plants have poisons that ether stun the insect or make the insect not a were of it's surroundings and not well footed. When the plant produces fruit the seeds in it are light and winged. The only use for its roots is to anchor it in the ground because it gets nutrition from the prey.

One method the plant uses to catch it prey is by using the insects that are caught to attract things like frogs. Another method used to attract prey is the use of pungent odors, it lures insects like moths and flies inside. The lower parts of the plant are colorful, which attracts bees, dragon flies, crickets and bugs. Finally the plant creates a sweet nectar that oozes from under the rim and when insects try to get it they fall in.

The pitcher plant was used for medicine by native American Indians. One use was to aid in stomach, digestive problems and urinary tract disorders. The roots where ingested to treat smallpox, lung and liver ailments. The leaves were dried and made into a tea to treat fever and chills. To date the pitcher plant has never been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness and purity.

All plants get energy from sun light, air and water but the pitcher plant survives differently. The pitcher plant can grow in areas with poor soil nutrients because it get the nutrients from the prey it eats. The plant has learned to survive by adapting to it's environment.

Culture

In the middle ages you would leave your family early or Henriette the land when you were young 14 or so because your family members would die when they were like 30 years old. Now we like to like 70-80 years and not like 30 years, so we would leave home at like 18 or 20 now. In the middle ages they had a king now we have a system of power so on one has to much power. Still the rich have the most say in the world though. In the middle ages they would cut your hand off or kill you in public if you did a crime (This would be like a fair for some people). Now if you do a crime they can fine you, put you in jail or both. If they do kill you its not in public and its not as painful.

Medieval Event

Sunday has come again time to wake up and go to church with everyone else. The church is so big and the paintings and really detailed. Its the time of the week again and we must pray and listen to the priest because we all believe in heaven and hell. The peasants have to stand but I get a bench with my other guild mates. I like this day because we get to talk to god and we get the day off. Everyone is so happy Sunday some because of god and some of a day of or like me I am happy for both.

Culture

I mostly interact with the nobles and higher because they buy most of the locks. Some of the richer freemen buy the cheaper locks. Once a peasant came into buy the cheapest lock we had because he thought someone was trying to steal from his house (I think he was crazy). Who would steal from a peasant they have nothing? I eat foods like meat, poultry, fish and a few vegetables. Theses foods have some spices on them to add flavor I liked that a lot. I drink wine because the water could kill you. Denmark is a very flat and in some parts flooding is very common. I would not call the hills mountains they are very small.

government

I hate my government all hail the king yak yak yak... I don't think its fair that the noble can wear all this expensive stuff and if someone in the lower class bought some they could not wear it. I think its a good law that minor law breaker must pay a fine and not death. I am a christian my king wont let us practice our real religion. I would like to choose my own religion and not have to warship something I don't no I believe in. The crusades are really sad lots of my friends have died and the king's land where I live is getting raided for metal to make armor and weapons, so i have no metal to make locks.

personal info

My name is Sheldon Locksmith, I live I west Denmark. I am 13 years old almost 14, I am an apprentice of a old locksmith. The only one left in my family is my grandfather he is 34, I live in a nice house with my locksmith teacher, My old house was made of mud and wood this one is made from mostly wood. I like to go out side and look around the market or play boardgames with my teacher. I don't like my chores I have to clean out the livestock's pens, start a fire, cook some meals, go to the market ( that is one chore I like) and worst of all clean the table you never know what in god's name is on that i have seen old rotten eggs to iron melted to the wood on the table (once I found a cat inside a roasted pig).

Memior final draft

Memoir

I cant stand this any more, so I talked to my mother
about what was going on with my grandmother. Mom told me that she is
getting older now, but she will be taking some medicine that will
help her out. I said to her that she needs help because she isn't
acting right. I soon realized that I was not going to figure out what
was wrong with her. Mom gave me partly true ideas that I began to
ponder about. Maybe she is nuts or is she just over protective? I
wonder in the back of my mind is she both? Dementia is a disease that
can bring forth good images and happy thoughts or some of the worst
moments in your life over and over again. Unlucky for her and
everyone around, she was in World War II (in Germany) and all the bad
moments she not only remembered, she saw and believed. I overheard my
mother and grandfather talking about her seeing imaginary people in
the house, like thieves and Nazi soldiers that were after her. I was
young and seeing her like this worried me because I didn't really
understand what was happening. I wish I knew what I know now and
been there to spend time with her in the last moments of her life.

I had never known her without the disease messing up
her mind and making everyone worried about what she will do next. I
have to admit that we all went some what crazy. One night she called
the police for help because she didn't recognize my grandfather and
thought he was someone else. The police showed up and broke down the
front door to get in. My grandfather spent t a few hours at the
police station, until they figured out who he was. Can you imagine
the cops pushing down you grandparents door thinking someone is being
hurt? My parents and grandfather tried to prevent the state from
taking my grandmother after this happened because the state wanted to
put her in a nursing home. I do understand now why they tried to.
We did win out but we knew sooner or later she would be in a nursing
home. Eventually she became to ill for my grandfather to take care of
her, so despite his sadness of letting her go, he put her in a
nursing home.

When we walked into the nursing home to see what it was
like, my grandfather was not happy with the size of the shared room.
He said that the room isn't big enough for his chair and TV, but it
was. He also didn't like the way they mashed up her food. My mother
explained to him that she isn't swallowing correctly, or chewing so
this is best for now. For activities, they were playing Wii, board
games, and old T.V. shows were playing. We did notice they had two
cats and one dog that lived in the nursing home. The two cats were
grey and white and the staff was playing with them too. The dog was a
playful chocolate lab, named Kelly. In the summer they have a garden
full of flowers for everyone to enjoy. When you left the nursing
home you had to enter a set of numbers in order to open the front
door. Mom told me that it kept the other people safe that lived
inside. I said that this is a good idea, but still sad to be locked
inside.

When I finally visited her she was doing well, but she
only knew me half of the time. Can you imagine walking into your
grandmother or loved ones room and they don't recognize you? What if
you heard them say mean things to the staff, like calling a nurse a
fat cow. I thought it was funny in a sad way. One day I was sitting
in her room waiting for my mother and she turned to me and said
“shut-up”. The sad thing was I had not said anything for
like 30 or 40 minutes to her. She soon fell asleep after taking her
medicine. Can you imagine walking into your grandmothers room and
see her curled up like she was going to die any second, a few months
later she was dead.

I walked into the meeting room (funeral) and then I saw
her, she looked like she could get up out of the coffin and say shut
up to me at any moment. I saw people that I did not know. I saw big
flowers and I had no clue who they were from or what they were. There
were aunts and uncles, who were mostly from my grandfather's
family. There were pictures of her when she was young. Then I walked
up to see if there was anyone I knew, but I really only knew a few
people.

Everyone followed the hearse to the cemetery and I was
supposed to help lower her into the ground, but at the last minute I
decided to stay home. I did not want to mess up and accidently drop
her, so I went to sleep. We all hope she is resting in peace.

Games R Us

In Games R Us our goods are Xbox accessories and console like games, controllers, battery packs, and recharger's to keep our customers happy, We have a repair service. The Incentives for games will be buy 3 get 1 half off. If supply get higher than demand i will have a sale and all of that item will  25% off till supply gets lower than demand then i will increase price by 15%. Where i live the only problem is there is competition from Walmart.
        The producers will be payed $8.00 an hour. The only constraint is we only have xbox. The opportunity cost for this business is PlayStation, Nintendo ect... To build or rent store and all starting supplies like Systems and accessories i will need a budget of $230,000. The trade off is that we don't sell other systems like PS3, but we can sell the xbox supplies cheaper than other stores because we only sell that only item and accessories for it. Stores that specialize are scarce in this part of Maine. If you want i could send you a prototype of what i would like the  building to look like. Alternatives for costumers will be accessories made by different companies but still for xbox. Cost of production like spare parts will be put in the costumers bill. My company is interdependent because we need to order parts and systems from other companies. the profit for the first month would be about 7,000 give or take. I hope we will become an monopoly because we specialize in xbox.  Because of the bad times  we may get a loss  at first  but i think if we keep going till the government back on its feet and people get jobs i think the gamers who have sold their systems to pay a payment will buy a new system. I hope you will
