Realitve community issue

2005-06-02T14:20:00.000-07:00

I went through other peoples blogs to find more issues & I was intrested in Karans about rising prices in houses in Prince George. I have noticed it too. There is less & less room to stat buliding houses land is getting expensive & huses are too now. Down by medow all those lots were farely cheap but then all those houses got built & they were priced farley high & the land around the place became more & more expensive. Another exampke of that is colleage hights area. Also Iève realized that houses in Pg that are the same size as vancouver houses maybe even nicer than vancouver houses are alot more expensive even wihtout a backyard & driveway.

Post secondary education

2005-06-02T14:04:00.000-07:00

For post secondary education I would like to go to McMaster or Queens which are in Toronto.

McMaster:McMaster is a full-service university. With well-established strengths in health care, engineering, business,social sciences, science, and humanities research and education, the University offers both students and professors exciting and unique opportunities for research, education, and collaboration.
With a long-standing reputation as Canada's "most innovative" university, McMaster has pioneered a number of programs that have changed how professors teach and students learn. Problem-based-learning (PBL), pioneered at McMaster, has now spread across North America as a preferred method of instructing undergraduate students.
Through its continued dedication to innovative education and ground-breaking research, the University has earned its reputation as one of the leading post-secondary institutions in Canada. McMaster continues in its commitment to be Canada's most student-centred research university.

Campus:McMaster campus, which is restricted to pedestrian traffic, is at the western end of Lake Ontario. Area attractions include Cootes Paradise, the Bruce Trail, the Niagara Escarpment, the Waterfront Trail, and the Royal Botanical Gardens.
The University is minutes from downtown Hamilton, Ontario, and the activities that a major city has to offer. Buses from the region's public transit system make frequent stops on campus, facilitating travelling between McMaster, Hamilton, and the surrounding area.
The campus has grown immensely since the University officially moved to Hamilton in 1930. The six buildings, all still in use, were added to over the years, and now there are 55 buildings on McMaster's campus and development shows no signs of slowing down.

photo essay blog

For our photo essay Drew & I decided to report on the zimmario park courts also called tha rucka. WE took pictures of the dents in the court & the spray paint on the hoops. Our mains focus tho was the lights because they turn them off in the summer when hockey is finished. We also wanted a cage because it's dangerous when the ball goes off the court onto the rough terrain lots of the players have twisted an ankle & we thought it's just not right to do it all for hockey but not basketball.

Anorexia Nervosa

2005-04-14T14:35:00.000-07:00

What is anorexia nervosa?
Anorexia nervosa is an illness that usually occurs in teenage girls, but it can also occur in teenage boys, and adult women and men. People with anorexia are obsessed with being thin. They lose a lot of weight and are terrified of gaining weight. They believe they are fat even though they are very thin. Anorexia isn't just a problem with food or weight. It's an attempt to use food and weight to deal with emotional problems.

Why do people get anorexia?
The reason some people get anorexia isn't known. People with anorexia may believe they would be happier and more successful if they were thin. They want everything in their lives to be perfect. People who have this disorder are usually good students. They are involved in many school and community activities. They blame themselves if they don't get perfect grades, or if other things in life are not perfect.

What are the problems caused by anorexia?
Girls with anorexia usually stop having menstrual periods. People with anorexia have dry skin and thinning hair on the head. They may have a growth of fine hair all over their body. They may feel cold all the time, and they may get sick often. People with anorexia are often in a bad mood. They have a hard time concentrating and are always thinking about food. It is not true that anorexics are never hungry. Actually, they are always hungry. Feeling hunger gives them a feeling of control over their lives and their bodies. It makes them feel like they are good at something--they are good at losing weight. People with severe anorexia may be at risk of death from starvation.

What is the treatment for anorexia?
Treatment of anorexia is difficult, because people with anorexia believe there is nothing wrong with them. Patients in the early stages of anorexia (less than 6 months or with just a small amount of weight loss) may be successfully treated without having to be admitted to the hospital. But for successful treatment, patients must want to change and must have family and friends to help them.People with more serious anorexia need care in the hospital, usually in a special unit for people with anorexia and bulimia. Treatment involves more than changing the person's eating habits. Anorexic patients often need counseling for a year or more so they can work on changing the feelings that are causing their eating problems. These feelings may be about their weight, their family problems or their problems with self-esteem. Some anorexic patients are helped by taking medicine that makes them feel less depressed. These medicines are prescribed by a doctor and are used along with counseling.

The statistic of anorexia is that approximately 5 per cent of women and 1 percent of men have anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder. (american statistic)

I went to spruce land elementary school to start my travel through eduation. I am now in gr10 i 've been playing basketball for 2 or 3 years now. I am now on the DP TODD senior team & that is my biggest accomplishment. I really like every thing about basketball including shoes & the fashion of it. I really liek jerseys & shoes. My favorite pair of shoes for ball are probably the jordan 18's but for next year i think the jordan pro status are goign to be my next pair. My favourite basketball player is Baron Davis he is an all-star & plays on one of the worst teams in the NBA the New Orleans Hornets I hope he gets traded to a better team & I think he will so I'm kind of sketchy about buyin his jersey becaue i want to buy the acctual NBA one no replicas. My most memerable moment so far was winning the 2005 City Finals which was last night Wednesday February 16 2005. Hopefully my next best memeory will be going to provincials. Thats all I really have to say right now so PEACE
