Newtown Depression

What Happened


               Hey Guys! We all know about the depression in Connecticut last week. So I'm here to talk about it.  I am very sad about this massacre. All the kids that died had a life that went on. They had so much to experience in their lives. Plus, all of the kids that were killed were all first graders. I wonder how their parents felt. They must have been crying beyond tears. How would you like it if you lost a family member of yours that was so young and could learn so much. Then their life would end. How would you like that? The victims were shot multiple times. This had beaten Columbine High School. Now Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut had been the worst shooting because of one 20 year old, named Adam Lanza.



Adam Lanza
  Well if you all know Adam Lanza was the man who shot the 20 kids. He was autistic and 20 years old. He had taken his mother's life at her house, then he had gone to the school. At the school he had shot the door open. First let me tell you a little about him. Adam Lanza was and autistic kid and his mother had taught him how to use to gun. So it wasn't really his fault. Autistic kids have one special ability, but his was killing people apparently. While he was shooting he carried his brother's ID so that he thought he wouldn't get caught. Unfortunetly, his brother was shooting in Hoboken. After the massacre, Adam Lanza had committed suicide probably because he did not want to go to jail.


My Opinion

I think that they should just stop selling guns. When I was on the internet, I found out that there was a Mexican man selling guns on the streets of New York City. This is so bad. Where do people even get these guns from? It is terrible. I don't know why after 9/11 the president or government didn't make a law saying that guns are illegal. Another idea would be atleast put guards or police officers at schools. That would make life so much easier without even having stress. After President Obama's speech, people were touched, but not relieved.  They should do something that will not let this happen or else the United States will be losing innocent victims and other people will be suffering because of there is not a law of no guns.

I hope you really understand...

HELP!!!!!

Hey Guys! I need some help on what bug I should do next. Leave a comment below, to give me some ideas.

Honeypot Ants

What is a Honeypot Ant?

     Well what do you think it is? If you don't know it is basically an ant with a big transparent sphere filled with honey on its back. There are around 34 different species of honey pot ants.They are found in Western America, Mexico, Australia, South Africa and New Guinea. They are normally found in the hot dry areas such as the edges of deserts.These ants mostly gorge on desert flowers for the sugary nectar during the rainy seasons. They will also eat small insects. These fantastic ants can be seen in zoos around the world. The best part is that they are edible.!





Nutrition

These ants hold so many nutrients and energy that they have become a favoured food for many other animals including humans. They're so tasty that Australian Aboriginal people like to eat them like candies. Some people say they taste like sweet tarts. Others say they taste like chocalate bars. So you really get the point. Even though honey pot ants are bugs and look disgusting, they make a really good snack. Just because there is no nutrients in this edible animal, it's okay to have a little honey. Got that.

Enjoy someone eating a honey pot ant!

Jumiles!

What is a Jumil ?

       A jumil is a type of insect. An insect that is edible. I know what your thinking. Ewwwwwwww! Who would want to eat a stinking bug? Well, trust me, from people's opinions they are really good with Mexican food. Plus if you eat them alone, they taste like tuty fruity. Jumiles are mainly found in Mexico. A short definition for Jumil is a small stink bug. On the Monday following Day of the Dead, the citizens of Taxco (a city in the state of Guerrero) gather together and hunt for jumiles, which are plentiful. The children race around to see who can stuff their bag first, and the adults look for some too, but mainly they hang out and enjoy the fresh air and pop the occasional live jumil into their mouths. Now that is one sick thing. Anyway, now you know what people do with insects and when they do it.


The Healthy Side
Jumiles have a cinnamon-like odor. They are considered an acquired taste due to their high iodine content, which imparts a bitter, medicinal flavor.  Jumiles are also a good source of tryptophan and the vitamins riboflavin and niacin. As much as digusting this creature might be, it seems to  be very good for you. I think I would like to try it because it looks like a tropical fruit. Plus the cool part is, when you find it, you can immidietly put it in your mouth with taking any internal organs out. To me, It seems just like picking an apple out of a tree.
