Oh the ocean
the ocean
the beautiful blue shiny ocean
the ocean
Oh the ocean
on the ocean
the wind in your face the salty air in your nose
walking on soft squishy sand and the waves lapping at your feet
but the all of a a sudden down your dog goes
in a crack between the rocks, but before the water would her meet
two men came and pulled her out
she ran back home
away from the spout
there afar you see a boat of foam
and it sails to you
full of pirates and vikings of old
they attack put you throw some goo
and they get stuck in there, wishing for gold
you walk back towards your car
enjoying the sun and the seagulls from afar
you get back to your car and drive to your house
on your way you almost hit a mouse
the ocean
Oh the ocean
the beautiful blue shiny ocean

In desert and wilderness.
I recently finished reading this book called In desert and wilderness.
This book is about two European descent children who live in Egypt while the Suez canal was being built because their fathers were engineers working on it. The children get captured and are taken through east Africa. They endure many hard ships. I will make a summary of the book right now:
These two children called Stas and Nell lived in Egypt with their fathers. But one day they got kidnapped by some Sudanese and Arabs. These people were faithful to this Mahdi or religious leader who wants to take over the world. But he was only in Sudan fighting the Egyptians. The Egyptians had colonized Sudan because the British had ordered it. The Egyptian government was a protectorate of the British. Stas and Nell rode camel back over desert and jungle to Sudan where they met the Mahdi. The Mahdi asked them to follow him. Stas replied no and The Mahdi ordered them on a journey to another city that was ruled by the Mahdi. The journey was harsh like the desert jouney. When they got there they were told to meet with another Sudanese man named Smain. They went into the jungle to searched for him. When they met a lion the Arabs and the Sudanese did not know how to shoot a new rifle that belonged to Stas. They had took it from him. Stas took the Rifle and shot the Lion then he shot the Arabs and Sudanese. Stas and Nell procided with a Mastiff and two slaves that had belonged too Nell and the Sudanese. They went along through the Eastern Congo. Eating antelopes and whatever game they could find. They also ate fruit. They found an Elephant trapped by rock and tamed him. Nell got a fever and Stas found a Swiss man that had Medicine for fever. The Swiss man then died. Stas blew up the rock and freed the elephant. Stas and Nell found a mountain and went into it it had plenty of provisions. They lived there and sent kites made of paper that the Swiss had given them and made out of fish bladder membranes. Then they went on eastward towards the Indian Ocean. They passed through many Villages with black people and scared them into submission with guns and the elephant. Then they helped the people of one of their friends( the slaves left over from the Sudanese) Then they got hundreds of men from the village and set of for the coast. But they came to a place where no water was and they soon ran out of water. They almost died. But a kite had been found by a European led caravan. They saved the day. When they had been fed and they drunk water they went to sleep. They met their Fathers on a coastal city for a message had been sent that they were still alive.

southern wars ( story )
Prologue
On a mountain near Naryan-Mar Russia , There was the president of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. He was freezing up on that mountain. He had come here to talk to the Russian Genaral. But the General was not here yet. He was suspicious of these Russians. He had brought his personal body guard with him. It had 100 men in it 17 of them were his strongest fastest and most skilled soldiers. The sound of a avalanche below him jerked him from his thoughts. He was in an outpost that had a fire and hearth in it. Suddenly the sound of a helicopter was whirring around. Susilo looked out the window .Ten helicopters came and landed next to Susilo's. Out of them stepped the Russian general Alexander .V Bobrovsky and his bodyguards .One of them was holding a Lacrosse stick. Alexander Bobrovsky walked toward Susilo. " do you and your men care to play a lacrosse game with us ? " Asked Bobrovsky." we accept your offer " replied Susilo even though he did not know how to play( but he did not want to embarrass his nation) . So they started to play lacrosse. But one of the Russians threw the ball hard and fast at the inexperienced Susilo and it knocked him out almost breaking his skull. Immediately the Russians and Indonesians ran for their guns. But before anyone got to them , Bobrovsky Spoke "we have bombers over your presidents head " The Indonesians froze and the Russians grabbed their guns. Then they took the Indonesians captive.
Chapter 1 a Boy
On the island of Jakarta Indonesia a Boy was playing marbles.His name was Iden .When he got up he smelled dark chocolate. He never got any sweets, he barley got bread.When he walked toward the smell
he saw that it was coming from a stand that said : MAGIC CHOCOLATE : in big red letters. Iden ran to the stand . " how much ? " Asked Iden. " 3 Rupiah for 1/2 a inch " Said the owner. Iden gave him the last of his money for that delicious chocolate. When he ate the piece he was overcome with the feeling of Delicious taste.He knew it was not magic but it tasted good when he went to sell his marbles the feeling of danger came from the northwest. He knew what lay northwest.
Russia.
He immediately ran to the nearest police station. He told the police that the Russians would come and attack them. The police told him not to bother them. He had to stop the Russians. Iden set of for the coast. It took him three days to get there the magic helped him not starve . When he got to port he wished he was invisible. But the magic did not turn him invisible. He guessed it could only do certain things. When he tried to sneak past a guard to get on a ship the guard caught him and chucked him on the sand. " shoo ! " the guard yelled. Iden ran back to where people were walking towards the ship bound for Russia. When a man tripped and his bag fell open Iden climbed inside. It was a very tight fit. He shut the bag lid on him. When the man got up and started to carry the bag it became too heavy and he collapsed. He asked a guard to help him carry it to the ship. Finally Iden was on the ship. After the first 5 hours at sea Iden felt like he was going to die. He had a headache ,his stomach growled and his throat was dry . He wondered why the magic did not work. As he was to find out the magic had worn of. He needed food so he climbed out of the bag and searched through the other bags for food he found a thousand layered cake with spicy chili powder. He ate it . It was not enough to fill him but it helped keep him alive for some time. Then he checked for water he found in a canteen. He drank it dry. Iden then found and ate a stuffed tofu.When he was satisfied he took in his surroundings. He was in the ships belly. Where they kept the big bags. There was a staircase that led to a door that after he tried it was locked. He hoped no one would come down. He was tired so he went to sleep waiting to find what the next day would hold. When he woke up he heard a yell and then the boat stopped. Iden looked through the bags and found a stick. With the stick in his hand he rushed up the stairs to the locked door. He tried to open it. It was bolted. So Iden stood right next to the door which was the best place to hit some unsuspecting victim. Iden waited for 30 minutes all the while shouting and gunshots came from above. When everything was quiet Iden went down to get some food. He ate a stuffed tofu for breakfast and drank some water. When he finished eating he heard footsteps coming form above getting louder and louder. Iden ran to his post as the door was opened. Iden struck a bearded red head on the head. The red- head went down. A young blond man came in after him and grabbed Iden neck before Iden could do anything. 12 more men came in all armed. The red head came round " who is that ? Japarov." Asked the Red head. The Blonde man named Japarov answered him " some stowaway Captain "." what should we do with him sir " asked one of the other men . A man with brown hair and a scruffy mustache . " feed him to the sharks , there is plenty of them here. " replied the captain. All this time the men were talking in Russian. Iden did not understand them but recognized the language. These were Russians and that meant danger. When they started to walk up to the deck Iden grew more and more scared. Then they tied him to a weight. Iden realized that he was to be thrown overboard. Iden struggled and was knocked out. But when the Russian had hit him a bit of dark chocolate that had got stuck came lose and went down Iden's throat.When he was thrown over board the magic made the sharks help him. The sharks kept his head above the surface and led him to Russia. The sharks gave him seaweed to eat and seawater to drink. If the magic had also made him not need food or water then the sharks would stop helping him mid-way. When the Sharks came to the coast guard they dived under the water. He made it to Vladivostock, Russia. It lay near China. When the magic wore off he was on the shore of Russia. Iden came round and was terribly hungry, cold and thirsty. He wondered where he was. When he went and asked someone where he was they said something in Russian. Iden decided he was in Russia. He pointed towards his mouth and he got some bread. Then he ate some snow. He had never seen this stuff but had heard of it. He was up north and it was winter. He found some rags in a bin and wrapped them around him. It was time to go to sleep. Iden found a dirty ,cold and smelly corner and went to sleep deciding he would go to Moscow later. When he woke up he was almost frozen . he broke through the grasp of the icy fingers and set of for Moscow. 2 months later he was in Barnaul Russia. It was about half-way between Pacific Russia and European Russia. He had eaten scraps and Snow on his way here. When he stepped into the city he heard people whispering about Indonesia in English ( Iden knew some English)." yes and what will the General do about it ? " "I think he will surround Indonesia and order them to surrender or he will kill their king" Iden was terrified by this news but he had to know it for sure. " You ask him yourself he is in town " Iden ran around asking where the General was. He found out that he was at the town hall. Iden crept around to the town hall. 50 guards were around it and in the distance Iden saw an army. The Russian army. Iden threw a rock and it struck a guard on the head almost killing him. Then Iden ran for his life. The guards return fire was tremendous. It hit Iden in his hand. Iden had put his hand over his heart so it would be safer. Iden dived down to the ground the bullet in his hand felt like fire and claws. He lay there for a little. Then he had an Idea. Iden ran back and hid in the trees. After a while a messenger came by holding a note most likely for the general. Iden bounced on him. They struggled and Idens hand got worse and worse. Then Iden punched the Russian in the face with his good hand. Iden took the Messengers hat,letter,coat and boots. leaving the man without boots , coat, hat or letter. He just had a shirt and pants on. Iden ran on. He told the guards he had an urgent letter. The Guards let him go. Iden ran in and Gave the letter to the General's secretary. Iden crouched back into the shadows, listening to them. ".. so it is agreed we will march on and send the tanks and aircraft in front of us. The Destroyers are ready" They spoke in Russian but by their tone Iden understood. He crept away and ran back to the woods. Then he decided he had to get to Indonesia. He walked to the nearest air port and covering himself in rags hid in some suitcase that was to go on the plane to Indonesia. Iden hid in that bag for 8 hours. It was terrible . He ate some food he found in the bag. When they finally landed Iden and the bag went down into the roller where the owner got the bag. Iden zipped the bag down and ran out when they got out of the airport. The owner screamed but Iden ran on. He needed to tell everyone that the President was hostage. Iden ran to Jakarta. He was exhausted. When he got to Jakarta he went to the police office and told them that the President was hostage and that the Russians would attack them. Then he told the police to tell the General to get defenses ready. The police told him to run on and stop bothering them. Iden was terrified. The Russians were coming and no one believed him. Iden went to the street alleys and found the dark chocolate seller. Iden went to him and begged for some dark chocolate. The seller game him such a small piece you could barley see it. ( the smaller the piece the more magic) Iden ate it and wished that an army would appear. That drained all the magic. Suddenly a army of bed ragged, scruffy kids with guns and tanks. This was not what he had hoped for but the seller would not give him anymore. So Iden ordered the army to defend the islands of their country. There were 300,000 of them. It took the army 2 days to preparer and then the Russians came in.
Chapter 2 a Battle.
The Russians came in from all sides. The Indonesian fleet was surprised and 40 of Indonesia's battleships were destroyed before Indonesia destroyed one of Russia's ships. The Russian's got to land in Borneo first. They were met by a half ready coast guard and army. The Russians poured bombs on them. Then they were met by the ready and trained ( they had trained before the Russians had got their.) army of peasant kids. The kids bought the real army time and fought off the Russians for a little . Meanwhile Iden was in Jakarta. He went to find the dark chocolate seller. When he went to the place where he usually was he was gone and in his place was another man selling white chocolate. Iden did not like this at all. He needed to help the defenses. He started of for Jakarta's edge. The Indonesian army was ready by the time the kid defense had fallen. Indonesia's army still could not stop the Russians. Iden realized the Indonesian army would fall without help. He told a policeman that was running too the coast to tell his captain to tell the colonel to tell the vice President to call the Indian government to send reinforcements. It happened as Iden had said. The Indians responded by sending 700 ships with 70 soldiers and 5 tanks on each one. The Indians would get their to late and if they made it public then China would declare war on India and Indonesia. Iden hoped they could stand the onslaught long enough. The Russians were getting weaker. They were not used to this climate and terrain. The defender almost always had the advantage. The Indonesians were losing numbers though as the bombs fell and the guns rang. The Russians had taken the east of Indonesia. But were beaten off in Borneo and Jakarta. Then the Indians came and pushing the Russians back singed a treaty say that Russia should not fight a war and that they hand over Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono the Russians killed him instead .Then Indonesia made Iden President. It was over. Iden rejoiced.

Wind
Wind
Wind is moving air. Here is how it happens:
Wind is caused by the sun . The Sun heats the earth
and the warm air rises. Colder air fills the gap while
the warm air is cooling down . This makes a lot of
moving air which is wind! There are many types of
winds like Jet streams ( are fast moving streams of air
that move in circles around the earth ) , Constant winds
( Winds that are constant . The warm air moves toward
the poles and cools off ) and trade winds ( these winds
move toward the equator. )
Wind Energy
Pepole have been using wind as a power source for
ages. The first windmills were in Persia. they were
used for grinding wheat . These don't look like the
European windmills but they looked like eggbeaters.
The modern ones are not for grinding wheat but are
for making electricity. The wind turns the windmill
and a generator makes the movement into electricity.
In wind farm you can see lots of windmills.
Wind Storms
There are many storms made
by wind like hurricanes and tornadoes
Hurricanes
Are Storms made over hot water . The Hot water heats
the air . Then cold air fills the gap making a small storm
gather over the hot water. The storm grows in power as
it is moving over the hot water and winds fly over it .
When the winds are faster then 73 miles per hour it is a
Hurricane.
5 Over 157 mph

4 130-156 mph
_|___________
3 111-129 mph
_|___________
2 96-110 mph
_|___________
1 74-95 mph
Hurricanes can do a lot of damage . When they hit land
they lat out their water as rain and have high winds.
Tornadoes
Are fast winds in a whirling column .
They come out of thunderstorms . Th
ey can be very destructive . Tornadoes
are measured by something called the
Fujita scale
F0 | weak
F1 | medium
F2 | stronger

Water Pollution
Is waste and other bad stuff that goes on water. Water can usually take care of pollution in three ways
Dissolving
In this method the water dissolves the pollution.
Dispersing
In this method the water Spreads out the pollution so no one area will get affected badly
Recycling
In this method the water recycles or makes the pollution food for other organisms
The water can get polluted in lots of ways like sewage waste or factory waste
When the water gets polluted there is no Oxygen for the living things in the water.
When the living things die other micro living things that don't need Oxygen come
in and make bad smelling gases .
Floods
Floods are a natural disaster that happens when land gets more water than it can absorb.
Lakes ,rivers and rain can make floods. Big waves made by earthquakes can also make floods.
Floods can do a lot of destruction like washing away houses and drowning people. People can stop floods with dikes , levees and dams.
