Big update on PvZ

I didn't post about plants versus zombies for a long time, so here is an update. I finished Dark Ages Frostbite Caves and is almost done Lost City. I earned enough gems to get the lava guava, which is really good. I also have the hurrikale and the homing thistle, but both of them aren't as good.

Our Play!

We presented our play and it was pretty nice. We didn't screw up like I said ( I am a pessimist) but we did have some mishaps here and there, but nothing to major! Overall, our play was pretty fun. Visiet our blbog! www.howtobeanoutsiderandstaygold.blogspot.ca

Our Play

Our play is really coming together! Presentation date is May 26.

Our Sets!

For our play, our sets are all perfect now. I do admit that they look really good. Now we need to work on our timings and our acting. The execution is very important.

I don’t think that we are ready...

We only have 10 days left to the presenting date and I don’t think that we are ready at all. I just have this feeling that we will mess up badly.

The Play

Only 10 days left until we present our play!

Types of clouds #6

Cirrus clouds are a types of cloud often described by thin, wispy strands of it. Its name comes from the Latin word cirrus, which means a ringlet. Cirrus clouds form when water vapour deposits at altitudes above 5000 metres. That means when water vapour turns into a solid. It is usually light grey or white in colour. They usually show the arrival of precipitation. Cirrus clouds can stretch to the size of a continent.

Types of clouds #5

Altostratus clouds are basically stratus clouds but they appear in middle altitudes. They are big sheets of clouds but most of the time, they are very thin and you might be able to see the sun shining through the clouds.

Difference between credit cards and debit cards part 2

In the last part, we talked about credit cards. Now, we will talk about debit cards.

Debit cards are the safe choice. When you make a transaction with one, the money will be quickly withdrawn from your bank account instead of piling up as debt. As a teenager, you should get a debit card so you won't overspend.

Difference between credit and debit cards part 1

We know that there are two main types of cards: credit and debit, but what are their differences?

When you use a credit card, the money you owe would get stored in a place so you don't pay immediately. Then, after a period of time, usually every month, you have to pay all the money stored in that place. You might make too many transactions so that you don't have enough money to pay all of it! Then, it is called debt. Teenagers who still didn't learn how to manage money shouldn't have this card because before you know it, they will have a huge amount of debt!

All of the .ios!

Everyone knows agar.io. Now, there is another  game called slither.io. Then, I just found another server game called diep.io. Why are they all have .io?

The Universe is stretching

You know that light travels in waves. For every colour, there is a different wavelength. Blue waves have shorter wavelengths, and red ones have longer wavelengths. Using redshift, Edwin Hubble was able to discover that the further a galaxy was from us, the faster is was moving away from us! Edwin Hubble realized this and declared that the universe was expanding.

Ultimate

Ultimate is a game with frisbees, or discs, if you call them like that. You can't call it Ultimate Frisbee because frisbee is copyrighted. It is like football but players can't run when they have the frisbee(they throw it to someone else) and no violence is allowed. Players must throw the frisbee and another team member must catch it in the "endzone" while people from the other team tries to block them.

If a team throws the frisbee and one of their members don't successfully catch it, the possession changes.

Ultimate is a game that relies on agility, tallness (to a degree), and your frisbee throwing skills. It is also a good physical workout.

Quadratic Formula

The quadratic formula is used to solve any quadratic equation: equations of the type: ax^2 + bx + c = 0

This is the quadratic formula. For any quadratic equation, for example, x^2 + 6x - 2, you identify a = 1, b = 6, and c = -2. Then, you plug the numbers in.
x = -6 plus or minus square root(36 + 8)/2
x = (-6 plus or minus sqaure root 44)/2
x= -3 plus or minus square root 11.
So there are two possible answers for this equation. It is possible to have no answers at all if the square root is negative, or one answer if the square root is zero.

P v Z Cheat

You may think that the spring bean is useless after Pirate Seas, but you are wrong. The spring bean and blowver are really over-powered. Basically, when you have a huge wave of zombies, you put the spring bean down and give it a plant food. The spring bean will bounce all the zombies in the air, and when they are in the air, use the blowver and blow them away, since they are technically in the air. It destroys all zombies on screen for only 100 sun and a plant food! You have to time it correctly, though, or else it won’t work. Wait for the spring bean to jump, then put the blowver.

Outsiders Play Sets!

We created 3 cars for the Outsiders play. A blue Ford Mustang, a White Cadillac, and a red Buck’s Thunder bird. We made them by cutting foam into shapes of the cars and then painting them over with acrylic paint. They actually look pretty good!

NASA's new collection of planets!

Today, NASA revealed the new planets discovered by Kepler. 1,284 planets were found; a huge achievement for NASA. 550 planets have a good chance to be rocky planets like Earth. In fact, this could mean that I might be able to resume the "Some of space's weirdest exoplanets" series if any weird planets are found. Some many new planets are exciting for everyone. We might even be able to find an Earth-like planet, that who knows, we might be living on in the future.

Finally

I finally beat the boss battle for Wild Wild West! In my opinion, boss battles are pretty easy. Some levels in that world were harder than the boss battle, especially the one that doesn't let you use more than 2000 sun and lose more than 2 plants.

Plants VS. Zombies 2

I started playing P.V.Z 2 maybe a week ago. I am on the Wild Wild West and those poncho zombies are extremely annoying. The split pea is extremely useful for those zombies that fly behind them because they have a repeater in the back and a peashooter in the front. Snapdragons are also good because if you have one column of them with walnuts in front of them, they are really good and do immense damage. The spikerock is good, too.

One hundredth post!

This post is the one hundredth post I posted on this blog. Thanks for everything!

Today is when Mercury transits the sun...

Today is like when we have an eclipse with the moon, but replace the moon with Mercury. Yes, today is when Mercury transits the sun. Be sure to watch it on livestreams or watch it yourself. Be sure to wear correct eyewear to make sure that the sun won't damage your eyes!

Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day. Be sure to give a gift or write a note to your moms!

Rubik's Cube

I know how to solve the Rubik's cube. It is fun.

Fort McMurray Fire

If you didn't already know, there is a huge fire at Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada. It already covered 1560 square kilometres and it is still growing! All of Fort McMurray's residents were forced to flee and the financial cost is huge. Hopefully, the fire will be extinguished as soon as possible so that they could return to their homes! (It their homes are still standing, of course)

Three new Earth sized planets found that might support life!

Three possibly habitable Earth sized planets were found orbiting a dim, cold, ultra cool dwarf star that is barely bigger than Jupiter. The star was originally called 2MASS J23062928-0502285 but after the discovery of the three exoplanets, it was renamed to TRAPPIST-1, after the telescope that discovered this star so that it is easier, and much faster to pronounce. and easier too remember. It is located about 39 light-years from here. It is about 2,000 times less bright than the sun, one eighth its width, one twelfth its mass, and half as hot.

The three planets are about 10% bigger than Earth and the first two planets' orbit is 60 to 90 times closer to the sun than Earth is but due to their star's small size, it is kind of proportional. Since they are so close to their star, they were forced to become like Uranus, spinning on their side. One year on those planets are 1.5 and 2.4 Earth days respectively. The third planet might be in the habitable zone and the first two planets have daysides that are too hot and nightsides that are too cold, but in between those two sides, there might be a spot that would be just perfect in temperature.

Types of clouds #4

An altocumulus cloud is a mid-level cloud that is usually about 1 kilometre thick. It comes from the latin word altus, which means high. It is described by many patches and rolls, like many small islands in the sky. If you see altocumulus clouds in the morning and it is really humid that day, then there is a good chance that there will be a thunderstorm later in the day.

American politics

Well, Donald Trump has secured the Republican nominee. Ted Cruz and John Kasich dropped out these two days. On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton is still beating Bernie Sanders. There is a small chance that Sanders will win, so it is basically Clinton and Trump going against each other.

Transit of Mercury

This is when Mercury is between the Earth and the Sun. It is happening on May 9, so don't miss it. It you are on the other side of the planet, then you can go watch it on lifestream, and there will be live stream. This only happens about once in every eight years, so seize the opportunity. Venus also transits the sun since it it closer to the sun than Earth is but its transit already passed; in 2012. Its next transit don't occur until 2117, so unless you have extremely good health and live for another 101 years, you won't be able to see Venus transit the sun.

Amazon Rainforest

The Amazon Rainforest is the biggest and most diverse forest in the world. Many species don't live anywhere else in the world. This is why conserving this rainforest is very important! If deforestation continues at the rate it is right now, Earth would lose the Amazon Rainforest and a big part of its ecosystem. Also, many plant and animal species would become endangered or extinct, mainly the ones that only live there. Imagine camping there for a while! It would be scary and a good experience.

Outsiders

We are still planning how to get or create the set items we need, like the burning church. We need to do this correctly or else the audience would thing that they are fake.

Sorry again for not posting the previous days... I have been busy!

Yay

We have reached our one thousand view!

Giro d'Italia route

The race would start in the Netherlands. Then, they would flu to the very south of Italy and they would ride upwards to the north east of Italy. Then, they would end in Torino.

Giro d'Italia

If you want to take a big tour of Italy, the Giro d'Italia is the place for you. You can do it for free, and if you win, you get money!

Giro d'Italia

The Giro d'Italia is coming up soon. Who are you cheering for?

Sorry I didn't post the last few days. I was away for the whole week-end.
