The biggest holes in the earth.

 By Veronika  Bocharova 11-J

Among the amazing natural phenomena should be certainly included periodically widened holes in the earth on different locations around the world.

The biggest examples are introduced below.


. The first one is obviously - Kimberlitovaya Tube "Peace" (Mir diamond pipe), Yakutia.


 Kimberlite pipe "Mir" - the quarry situated in the town of Mirny, Yakutia. The quarry has a depth of 525 m and a diameter of 1.2 km, it is one of the world's largest open-cast mines. Diamond kimberlite ore mining ceased in June 2001. Currently on  the board  of the quarry is underground mine ,which is under construction, created to work out the remaining stocks, which  excavation is unprofitable.

  The world's largest diamond mining quarry is amazing.   
Another similar phenomena is Kimberlite pipe "Big Hole", South Africa.
 Big Hole - huge inactive diamond mine in Kimberley (South Africa). People believe that this is the largest quarry, designed even without the use of technology. Currently, it is the main attraction of the city of Kimberley. Starting from 1866 to 1914 about 50 thousand miners dug a pit using picks and shovels, discovering at the same time 2,722 tons of diamonds (14.5 million carats). In the process of career development has been extracted 22.5 million tons of grunt. Exactly here such famous diamonds as "De Beers" (428.5 carats), blue-white "Porter Rhodes" (150 carats) were found orange-yellow " Tiffany "(128.5 carats). 
  At the site of the mine before (about 70 - 130 million years ago) was Vulcan .Amost hundred years ago - in 1914, developments in the "Big Hole" have been discontinued, but the gaping mouth of the tube remains to this day and now serves as tourist attraction , playing the role of the museum. And ... begins to create problems. There is a serious danger of crush not only of its edges but  of roads nearby.

COUTING MACROS

by Andres, David of 11J

I should first introduce you to what counting macros is. Counting Macros is the act of tracking the number of grams of protein, carbohydrates, and fats you consume on a particular day. It's usually bodybuilders and physique competitors have masters this art. If you aren't a bodybuilder or a physique competitor, why should you do it?


We can probably all agree that keeping a diet is quite hard and requires a lot of discipline. I eat a lot of "bad food" after 2 hours of working out and end up feeling guilty. I'm pretty sure most of you who are reading this also do the same. Well when you count macros, you won't feel guilty eating "bad food" as long as you don't go over your limit.



Doesn't that sound great? This is why I decided to count macros because I can eat whatever I want and I won't feel guilty as long as you track your macros! Now how do you do that? I use this app called MyFitnessPal app and it's available in iOS or Android. It basically does everything for you and you don't need to manually calculate the amount of nutrients your body needs.


If you feel that I have given less information, please refer to this video as this guy has more knowledge than me and I'm sure this will help you all out.

Trump lose in IOWA ELECTION

Donald Trumps approval rate has decreased in Iowa. While Ted cruz getting 27.6 percent in approval rate which is 3.3 percent higher than Trump.

    Trumps approval rate is decreasing and the same thing happened in 2011.
The major reason why Donald Trumps approval rate is decreasing is because of his rude and discriminating attitude towards the foreign people.

He called Mexican people a rapist and he discriminated Korea that Korean government takes all the money without spending it to the country men without any efforts.

As I move around places, I go to a variety of korean restaurants and some of them display newspaper articles which consist of their restaurant reviews. All I see is the word "Bibimbap".


www.theveggievoyager.com

Bibimbap is a korean cuisine which means "mixed rice" literally. It is a mixture of different kinds of vegetables but most commonly, the vegetables used are zucchini, soybean sprout, shitake, carrot, spinach.

It's really a simple dish yet, it is a food loved by many people. It is a food that is filled with healthy vegetables and it is a food that is excellent for diet.

3. The bottom of the rice which is crunchy is the best part! Save the best for last!



Travel and Eat. Okasa Japan

by Kim Chung Beom of 11J


Traveling is exciting and adventurous
Eating is pleasing and satisfying
but
Traveling and eating is just WOW
If you are planning a trip to Osaka Japan then you should consider this
This is a set menu together with the noodls and Oknmyaki. This menu was very filling for two. The chiefs will cook this in front of you so it also feels like a show!

They say that this Takoyaki restaurant is better than the 1st ranking Takoyaki restaurant. All the toppings and sauce are customizable. This can't be compared to other Takoyaki restaurants.

This is a ramen restaurant beside the sky building. It is a good place to eat after enjoying the view in the sky scraper because this ramen had a un-explainable taste but a good one.

This is a cake shop but the cake does not taste like a cake. The taste is closer to dipping the fruits in cream with a side of bread and every layer has different fruits. This cake is strongly recommended for people who LOVES sweet deserts.

HISTORY OF RAMEN IN KOREA

By: Kim, Hyoun Min of 11J
People always crave for something new and tasty. I would like to introduce the food, Korean ramen.  Well, ramen originated from China and is known as a Japanese dish. If there are 2 east asian countries eating ramen we can never forget about Korea. According to the World Instant Ramen Association, an average of 74.1 bowls of ramen is consumed by each person in Korea every year in a study in 2014 which ranks top 1 in the world. 
This may be because after the world war II, Korea had a big food shortage. Due to this food shortage the chairman of the Samyang Company thought of a way to stop this crisis. This is when the chairman thought of selling ramen to the country. It was in 1963 when the Samyang company first introduced ramen to the country and it was worth 10 won which almost anybody could afford. Many netizens of the country appreciated Samyang's effort to stop the food crisis of the country. Typing comments like "Our country's first ramen, It's really cheap!" 


Now, eating ramen in South Korea has become a lifestyle and a really popular food that everybody would know of. 
p.s. I wrote this article to spread awareness to the people of Korea and people who love and enjoy eating ramen. I would like you guys to appreciate this simple but important food Ramen.

Sun's Out Gun's Out

     Now that Prom's done for us Grade 11 students, we can finally eat whatever we want again ! Isn't that great? But wait...... SUMMER IS COMING. Something that we forgot about since we're too busy for Prom is that we also need to prepare our Summer Body! Majority of us will be heading to the beach for vacation this summer and of course you would want to look great don't you?? Well I can help with that for sure! I was a chubby little boy before until I decided to get up of my couch and work out. That means I've had a lot of experience in losing weight and I can give out some tips.

  1. Always hydrate yourself with water and drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. Drinking water can boost up metabolism and can satisfy your urge to eat and keeps your system functioning. 
  2. Get some sleep! As funny as it sounds, sleep deprivation may make you fat — and not just because you're susceptible to cases of the late-night food trip. So get to sleep as early as possible and avoid checking your phone all the time! 
  3. Eat a big and balanced breakfast. Your breakfast should be your heaviest meal of the day since this will give you the energy for the rest of the day and having a heavy breakfast would help you avoid eating a lot during lunch and dinner. 
  4. Take out food in advanced from your meal and save it for the next day when you go out and eat. Eating too much in a meal will give you a hard time to digest all the food you've eaten.
Here are the few EFFECTIVE tips that I've tried and tested and I were you go try it yourself right now! The earlier the better. Make sure to be consistent and I promise you'll get your Summer Bod in no time!
