Harry Jerome is one of the best athletes to ever represent Canada. He set 1 WORLD RECORD in the 220 meter sprint. But then he set another WORLD record is the 100m dash of 10 seconds. HIS SPORT is running, specifically sprinting. unfortunately, in 1960 he pulled a muscle in his leg and couldn't compete is the Olympics held in Rome. But 2 years later he gets another chance to compete. This is when he sets the new record or 10 seconds.

In 1966 Harry Jerome again confirmed his status as one of the world’s fastest humans when he struck gold at the Commonwealth Games.

He retired from athletics in 1969. :) His full name is Henry ("Harry") Winston Jerome

The 2 places that I got this information was: www.bccns.com/harry.htm and http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Jerome

assignment 5 : It's REALLY cold.

Yes, i agree it is extremely cold. I also ant imagine myself surviving like the first settlers in Canada managed to survive. Also, why would they stay here? Well all of my family i know, is from Canada, everyone. But my grandma told me that my great, great, grandfathers are from Ireland and Scotland. Unfortunately, i cant talk to them to see why they decided to stay. My family always had houses to live in, in Canada so they didn't have to face the extreme winters. as suvearly as the early settlers.

Some challenges early Canadians faced were: Keeping warm in the excruciating cold. A solution is FIRE but there's another problem. What about keeping dry fire wood? They also used the skin and fur/hair off of the animals they hunted as jackets...etc. Another task would be feeding yourself. A solution is hunting smaller animals in winter, and in summer store food for winter. I cant even imagine how difficult it was for these people. But they did it. PROPS TO THEM!

I also think that it was much easier for them in the summer. I bet they were like us, in the winter they wish it was summer, and in summer they wish it was winter. :P

How i found this Info.:
i searched on Google " Canada's first people" and "How the first Canadians survived" and selected quite a few different sites for each.

Assignment #3 : history of the future.

well, i have read a man's blog, his name is Christopher Moore. It was really interesting. Now we have to make predictions on what the future will look like, in 100 years. So here we go. In 100 years is the world's scientists will come up with away to prevent global warming and we will also have LOTS of new inventions or upgrades. Such as flying cars, and if not flying cars, at least hovering cars. We will also come very close again to global warming, possibly it will take over. And THE WORLD WILL COME TO AN END!
