Where Are Our Girls?! #BringBackOurGirlsNow

(photo courtesy of https://www.facebook.com/bringbackourgirls)

Since April 14th of this year, 230 School girls are still in captivity after being kidnapped from the Chibok Government Secondary School by Boko Haram Terrorists in Nigeria. Now this isnt just an article about "Where they are". It's a question. Why are they still in captivity? Why are we continuing to live as if this event isn’t even happening? (If you have no idea what #BringBackOurGirls ‘s is please click on the link below and then come back to this article.)


230 GIRLS!!  That is A LOT! These girls aren’t just being starved and kept in a room; they are facing situations beyond your imagination. This is happening because they want to go to school? Is that why? We should be focused less on what Nick Jonas is wearing (no offense) and more on spreading the value of education! The purpose of this post isn’t on repeating the information you’ve been continuously hearing for the last 6 months! I want to broadcast my voice, my thoughts. Not a day goes that I don’t think about these 230+ girls that suffer because they decided to go to school. I know I’m not alone in talking about this – I know that there’s hundreds of thousands of parents, girls, or just other people on Earth that are worried about the safety of the girls! Media should stay consistent; all the other countries should take more keen interest in this and most importantly, the people. We should do something as big as a rally or something as little as a tweet. We should make sure that these girls are brought back home.


But keep in mind that this issue doesn’t end here. Try talking to friends or family about it and educate them. You hold potential to end this conflict – don’t forget.

Well these are my 2 cents on #BringBackOurGirls  #BringBackOurGirlsNow

Blue Whale's Bones End Up In Compost



              The Nationally renowned museum, the Ontario Museum is currently working on cleaning bones of two deceased blue whales, whose carcasses washed on shore out by Trout River and Rocky Harbour, Newfoundland. At first the workers must work on removing the dead flesh from the carcass. They hope to put the bones on display.One skeleton will end up back in NL in Newfoundland's Memorial University. Meanwhile the other one is be transported to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. If enough money can be raised, it's hoped both will be displayed in a few years. The cleaning of the carcasses is said to take a little over 1 year.
