Globalization

Globalization is a way to be global, worldwide, international, intercontinental. While internationalization has inclined to refer to the process, today globalization has become identified with a number of trends, most of which have been particularly evident in the period since World War II. These include:
An increase in a number of standards applied globally; e.g. copyright laws
An increase in international trade at a faster rate than the growth in the world economy
Increase in the share of the world economy controlled by multinational corporations
Development of a global financial system
Greater international cultural influences, for example through exports of Hollywood movies
Reduction in global cultural diversity
Greater international travel and tourism
Greater sharing of information, by the spreading of technology such as the Internet and telephone
Greater immigration, including illegal immigration.

My heaven...

'Wssshh...' The waves lazily crash on the golden sand, as I take another sip of my cool, fresh orange juice. I slowly stretch my body out, and dip my legs into the cool water. I dive in, the lovely water surounding me, as I come up for air. The seagulls are calling, the sun shines down. My ocean, my home.I slowly swim over to an island, covered with palm tree's. As I pull myself up from the smooth water, I once again feel the warmth of the golden sand between my toes. I strech out on a hammok, rocking to and fro. I watch the clouds slowly travel across the sky. The sun is dipping further, but my campfire keeps me warm. I toast marshmallows, as I watch the sun set, streaming oranges and purples into the sky to remind me of its glory. Its getting late. I swim back to the main land, and I am greeted by my cat. As she srokes my legs with her head, wanting attention. I approach my cosy house, and am greeted by my family.'Yawn' i am ready for bed. As I settle into my cosy blanket, I hear the sea splashing.

Ahhh... Heaven.

Laughter!

Research has shown health benefits of laughter ranging from strengthening the immune system to reducing food cravings to increasing one's threshold of pain. There's even an emerging therapeutic field known as humor therapy to help people heal more quickly, among other things. Humor also has several important stress relieving benefits.

I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose. ~Woody Allen

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. ~e.e. cummingsLaughter is an instant vacation. ~Milton Berle

What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul. ~Yiddish ProverbSeven days without laughter makes one weak. ~Mort Walker

A laugh is a smile that bursts. ~Mary H. Waldrip

Speed writing!!!

Topic:

I found a monkey in my pyjamas!!

I really liked the post on mudpies blog, so I decided to do one too!!

Heres my speed writing on the topic:

I found a monkey in my pyjamas!! he jumped out and then he ate them! He raced off to the toilet, but i raced after him, tripping him up just as he was about to jump out of my window, to find his spaceship to fly back to the planet bananas! He cunningly bit my hand and then jumped on my hand, escaping out the window. He blasted of in his space ship and just when I thought he was gone, he burped out my pyjamas and they slowly flaoated back to earth,

the end!

Organic Gardening and soil.

What does it mean to garden organically?
The simple answer is that organic growers dont use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides on their plants. But gardening organically is much more than what you dont do. When you garden organically, you work to create a sustainable and balanced eco system in your garden that starts in the soil and includes the water supply, people, wildlife and even insects.
Build your soil:
Building soil is the defining act of organic gardening. Add organic matter to the soil to nourish earthworms and other creatures in the soil that break it down into the nutrients plants need. You have the organic organic matter ready, because grass clipings, fall leaves and the veggie scraps from your kitchen are the ideal building blocks of compost, the ideal organic matter for your garden soil. If you add compost to your soil,your already well on your way to creating a beautiful, healthy organic garden. when you prepare the site, loosen the soil with a shovel or garden fork, and add several inches of compost to it. If the soil is sandy, add an extra helping of compost.

FREE RICE!

FREE RICE!

I was told about this website when I was doing the famine with mudpies and queenie. Its a great website, that when you get a words definition right, UN (United nation) will donate 20 grains of rice to the poor people wherever they go. I got 500 grains of rice donated by my efforts, and maybe you could try to. If everyone tryed and hgad 100 donated, which is easy, as you only need to get 5 words right, heaps of rice could be donated. It would also be a good thing for our word study definitions!

1 word: 20 grains 5 words: 100 grains

Here is the website: http://www.freerice.com/

Kakepuku!

KAKEPUKU!

“The wheels on the bus go round and round...” sang room 5
“Oh no, not that again,” complained Ellen “That’s the 5th time they have sung that song!”
“Its not that bad” I said, going out of the window at the soft drizzle.
“luckily its not pouring down, other wise it would be absolutely horrible to climb mount Kakepuku!” Adrian commented.
It was the 16 of April, and Room 5 was about to walk up mount Kakepuku. The bus was now zooming past green, dew filled paddocks, almost there.
“look out the window,” said Mr Woody, pointing to a shape in the distance “that is Mount Kakepuku!”
* * *

“Come on then, hurry up and grab your gear, we are at Mt Kakepuku” Mr Drow said, as he parked the Peachgrove bus on the gravel car park.
“Any one seen the parents?” asked Gema. The parents had had travelled in a separate car.
“No I actually haven’t seen any cars since we left Kakepuku.” Robin said.
“Come on guys, lets wait for the parents in the picnic area. Its just behind those trees” said Susan, pointing to a small amount of trees a few metres away. So we wandered over to the picnic area, except it really wasn’t one. There where no tables or seats, just grass and trees.
“Well that’s strange” said a puzzled Susan “Im sure that there were picnic tables and less trees here, maybe its on the other side?”
“Well, the parents haven’t arrived yet,” said Mr Woody as he came around from the bus where he had been waiting for the parents. “Maybe we should just go up the Mountain, because we haven’t got time for waiting.”
Susan opted to stay with a group that were going to stay and wait. When that was settled we started our tramp into Mt Kakepuku.
* * *
“Grrg” someone’s rumbled stomach.
“Maybe we should have our morning tea” suggested Joleine. We had been walking for about 20 minutes and where in the thick bush.
“Come on guys, lets walk for a little bit longer. You’ve got to earn your food!” joked Mr Woody.
“theres a lot of trees in this part isn’t there!” Suddenly, the most majestic chirp filled the air.
“Whoah! That sounded like a Huia. Which is funny, because they are extinct!” Mr Woody marvelled, and turned to walk off track to find it.
“Umm, Mr Woody. Are you okay?” asked Ellen. Mr woody turned to us, and with a glassy, spaced out look in his eyes said “Yes my darlings, Im just splendid.” The air had a creepy feeling to it as we carried on in silence.
* * *
“Right then, time for lunch now” said Mr Woody, although he still seemed far away in his own land, he was more aware of us and seemed to know that we were indeed very hungry from our long, tiresome walk.
“Umm Mr Woody, I kind of need to go to the loo!” Lucy shyly asked, not wanting to annoy Mr Woody.
“Yeah sure.” Mr Woody replied, not bothering to worry about her safety.
“But Mr Woody, that’s not very safe” Beatrice stated the obvious, but Nor Mr Woody or Lucy were to be seen.
“MR WOODY, LUCY?” Room 5 desperately tried to call them back, but it was hopeless. We all started to get scared, and some of us even cried.
“Wait, its no use to us if we just stay here, wetting our faces and freaking about ‘what if’s.’” I tried co-ordinate Room5, but it was no use, no one would listen until Abby stood up, and yelled at the top of her lungs
“BE QUIET!” Well that got there attention! All room 5ians eyes stared up at Abby.
“Well, now that I’ve got your attention, who thinks that we should split up?” Abby asked. The majority of room5ians put up their hands so we split up, some going one way some going the other. I am staying here with Shayarn, Olivia, Sabrina and Lisa. The day is growing later and the temperature has severely dropped. We are setting up camp, and wrapping up with some of our warmest clothes.
“Maybe someone should get some fire wood?” suggested Olivia.
“I’ll go” Lisa opted.
“Okay, but don’t go to far, we don’t want you disappearing like Lucy did” Shayarn said. So, with Lisa off in the bush Shayarn and me tried our best to make a shelter while Olivia and Sabrina got all the food together and sorted which ones we needed to eat before they went rotten. Luckily Shayarn and me had both brought a tarpaulin, and Sabrina had a big blanket, so it seemed as though we could all fit beneath our tiny, make shift shelter.
‘Rustle, rustle’ The bushes just by our area began to move
“Umm, I don’t know about you guys, but im just a bit creeped out over here.” Olivia shakily said.
‘Rustle, rustle’ Uh Oh, Lisa just hobbled in, clutching her stomach.
“Are you all right Lisa?” Our group said in unison, getting up and helping Lisa to the ground.
“Big, white, spider” was all she could manage. Shayarn quickly turned into doctor mode,
“Quick, get the first aid kit, I think she’s been bitten by a white tailed spider.”
“No, are you serious” sabrina sarcastically smirked, and in return got one of the foulest glares I have ever seen.
“The bite’s not to bad, Although it must of hurt.” Shayarn said, after checking the bite marks. Lisa had seemed to calm down a lot to, and had said that while searching for bark, The spider had crawled up her leg, and probably for defence would have bitten her stomach.
“I think my stomachs trying to tell me that I need some food!” I laughed as my stomach let out a few groans!
“Okay, we need to eat up the fruit and yoghurts first.” Olivia said, handing out some of the left over food from that day. We gobbled it up, and got ready for our first night alone on Kakepuku.
* * *
During the night, Im not sure whether it was in my dreams or in real life, I heard whispering, and the rattle of feet around our shelter. One time I woke up sweating, and crying from my horrible dream. The rest of my dreams were nice, I dreamt that we were whisked off Mt Kakepuku, on a majestic red and gold carpet, to the safety of our hou-
“Wake up Belinda, Wake up!” Shayarn brutally shook my shoulders, and I managed to open my eyes to the bright sun.
“Lisa’s gone, she was here last night, but now she is gone!” Shayarn was really freaking out.
“Its okay, Im sure she’s just going toilet, or something like that.” I comforted her, but I could see she was still worried.
"How about we wait 10 minutes, and If she is not back, we'll go searching for her." I sugested, and Shayarn nodded, although I could tell she was shocked by Lisa's sudden dissaperance. ." “Im just going to wait over here” suggested Shayarn, pointing to a small group of trees by our tent. The others were starting to wake, and by the time I had explained what had happened it was 9:00, and we were starting to get hungry.
“Umm, where’s Shayarn?” Sabrina asked.
“She is just over there” I said pointing to where Shayarn had been but was no where to be seen.
“Oh man, I hope she hasn’t disappeared too!” I said, really starting to be scared of his strange mountain trip.
“Im just over here” A shaky little voice appeared, so we flung ourselves around to find a very pale Shayarn reaching down by her bag and getting some oranges out.
“You’re going to need these if we are going to get through this day alive”
“Thanks Shayarn” Courteny said, and the group half heartedly munched on there oranges. Poor Shayarn looked as white as a ghost as she slowly munched on her orange.
“Umm, Shayarn, are you really all right?” I asked, but Shayarn was on the floor, violently shaking and twitching.
“Oh my gosh, quick some one help her!” Sabrina shouted, rushing over to the place where Shayarn was lying. Me and Olivia hurriedly followed, bringing the first Aid kit as well.
“I... want... tree” was what Shgayarn mumbled, pointing to a big Kauri tree, about 3 metres from where we all where.
“Im not sure if that's a good idea.” Olivia shrugged, obviously not wanting to risk her safety, but all Shayarn said was;
“I... want... tree” so we carefully led her to the tree, where she huddled up close, and was muttering something to what the tree.
“Lets just leave her for a bit.” I said.
“But we need to keep a close eye out for her” I added, “because we definitely don’t want her disappearing like Lisa.” The end of my sentence suddenly reminded us of Lisa, It had been 25 minutes since I had woken up, and we needed to look for her.
“Lets wait until Shayarn is better, and then we will try looking for her.” Olivia said, and the whole group agreed. I gazed at Shararn, who had now stood up and was slowly approaching us.
“Are you feeling better Shayarn?” Sabrina sweetly said, and you could just feel the honey oozing out of her wonderful tone.
“Mmm,” Shayarn mumbled, nodding slowly,
“I, I, I need to tell you guys something” Shayarn stuttered, and struggled to speak the words out of her mouth.
