Why do we cut trees?

Hi internet, today I am gonna talk about trees. Not its structure but why do people cut them down for their wood. What do they do with the wood? Well as we all know, deforestation is a very serious problem today. Tree felled at an alarming rate!

Knowledge 1: About half of the world's original forests had been destroyed by 2011.

So, what do use the wood for?

Knowledge 2: The wood obtained for trees are used in many areas.  1. Fuel. It use be a source of fuel back in the days and now it is taken over by fossil fuels now. However, wood is still used as a combustion medium for certain culinary cuisines such as pizza and also use it certain house warmers. FYI most heater now might show digital imae of fire but its not really fire... hehe.

2. Construction. Wood has been an important construction material since humans began building shelters, houses and boats. Nearly all boats were made out of wood until the late 19th century, and wood remains in common use today in boat construction.Wood to be used for construction work is commonly known as lumber in North America. Elsewhere, lumber usually refers to felled trees, and the word for sawn planks ready for use is timber. Hehe, remember what woodcutters say when they chop down a tree. TIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In buildings construction, wood is also used as a supporting material.

3. Furnitures and utensils. I admit wood is used in making furnitures is pretty appropriate but
using it for making utensils is just.... unorthodox......

4.Sports equipment. It is used in almost all racket sports back in the day. FYI, the strings of a
tennis racket back in the day was made of cow's intestine called the serosa.

I mean why do we need to use wood for all of the stuff mentioned above?? Dont we have material engineers to invent different materials to substitute all the uses above. Trees itself is much more valuable than any of the ways we humans use it. Think about it.

Rhinos, should we help or not?

Recently, I have read the 2012 october issue of national geographic about rhinocerous. One thing that has eluded me for eating was the disgusting pictures of hunter killing rhinoceros for their horns. Why do their kill them just for their horns?? It does not make sense. However, there are things that are inereting about rhinoceros.

Knowledge 1: There are 5 main species of rhinocerous in the world. They are the White, Black, Greater one-horned, Sumatran and Javan.

 

 

Knowledge 2: Two of these species are native to Africa while the other 3 are from sounterhen Asia.

Knowledge 3: They are hunted down for their horns. They are currently at the brink of being extinct due to predators constantly hunting them down ILLGEALLY!

   

Knowledge 4 : When predators tries to hunt down rhinoceros, they would usually aim for the brain which is located at around six inches behind the eye and two inches in front of the ear. They also know certain tricks to pry a rhinoceros horn with little effort. This can be achieved by slicing around the seam at the horn's base.

Knowledge 5: If one really wants the horns of the rhinoceros, one can just cut the horns just 3 inches above its base. This allows the rhino's horn to grow back WITHOUT killing them. Why do the predators not do that????

Knowledge 6: In certain countries in Asia, Rhino horns are believed as if grinded with water can cure cancer. Well, this belief is not scientifically proven hence its just hocum.... In my opinion, its just an excuse for killing them.

Honestly, I think it is fine to hunt animals for their meat and other stuff but if one just kills them    just for one part, i think thats very cruel and brutish. According to research, removing a rhino's     horns does not affect the well being of a rhino. Tell me what you think:)                                                                                                                       

 

Examinations has ended!

Hello internet,
Well, I havent been able to post any things for the past few weeks as I was having my school examinations. Good new, I have finished my examinations today! It was terrific, My chemistry teacher mentioned that the exam would be extremely difficult. Boy was she wrong...haha. Anyways I would now have some free time to post some more but you know, I need ideas to make this website interesting. I mean come on, whats the difference between this and just search up on random stuff on google or howstuffs works or whatever website. Maybe I have to express my opinons on the articles I write about, I dont know... Give me some ideas please. Anyways, I will be getting all my results back by 10th october. Then I would have a two and half months holiday. ( God i hate them ) It so unproductive having holidays man come on... So, in order to make full use of my holiday, I have came up with certain things i would like to do during my holidays.
Things to do:

1. Exercise. Fyi, I am a very skinny and weak guy. I get sick on a weekly basis unless I remember to take my vitamin Cs. So in order to boost my immunity, exercising is imperative.

2. Improve on my chinese and english language. Well, langauge has never been my strong suite. I am constantly getting Cs for my english and my chinese is just spinning around B. Yes I know, pretty boring eh... Everyday is just about studying, studying and studying... Well I dont have a choice. In order to go to a good junior college, I have to.

3. Make my computer software. I got a sudden interest towards making computer software after watching the movie " The social network". I was very impressed about mark zuckerberg's success and his intellect. I have been learning how to use visual basic and I got to admit, its pretty interesting. Then i found out about java, it is so complicated... Its gonna take me some time to learn. But hey, I got two and half months. However, I got my chinese O level examinations in November 7th so I've got to focus man....

4. Play darksiders 2. I mean go watch the trailer, Its so good. Well, many people did complain about the graphics but the gameplay is just awesome.

5. Watch taken 2. Ok, maybe. I'm not really very passionate about this movie but all my friends are making a big fuss about it...

Yeah thats about all i can think about, Well if I can come up with something new, I post another new post. Please give me some ideas on how to make this website more interesting:)
