Joyeria Osea by Sofia Sanchez is sold on the Etsy store website. This Argentine jeweler sells fingerbone rings, sternum necklaces, and bone cufflinks. The prices of her unique collection of "anatomical pieces" ranges from 80 to 345 US dollars. The pieces are Bronze Silver Plated. Even though this isn't the most desired materialistic item in the fashion world at the moment, it's still interesting how people are coming up with different ideas for jewelry and clothing.

We should care about a species extinction.

CWA (Conference on World Affairs at the University of Colorado, Boulder) asks "Why should you care about species extinction?" CWA brought a conference together of all different people in our society to ask this important question. The conferences held by CWA are free and open to the public. Lately, there has been word that a lot of coral reef have been dying. Coral reef may not seem like they play an important role in the aquatic life, but they do.

Peter Hildbrande (an atmospheric scientist with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center) states that, "Coral reefs supply a lot of the basis of the food chain in the ocean. If we wreck up the climate, then we change concentrations of carbon dioxide in the air, which means we're changing the pH levels in the water, and that chemical change damages the shells in the coral. As coral die, that damage has effects right up the food chain to the large fish that we eat."

If one food source is taken away from another source then that species will become extinct and it will affect the fish that we consume. Sooner or later this drastic change will affect us negatively and we will be the main cause for the destruction of aquatic life and later on, other species.

Sidewalk Chalk? It's Illegal in Australia!

http://www.boingboing.net/2011/03/24/kids-sidewalk-chalki.html

I read an article about the banning of sidewalk chalk in a cafe in Nunawading, Australia. After I read this I laughed because it's just ridiculous. If a parent is worried about their kid accidentally stumbling into traffic isn't it the parent's fault for not watching their child? To me, this is just a naive and unfair ban. This better not influence the U.S. to do the same because I would fight for kid's benefit.

Second Interview

Name: Troy Smith

Troy was my coach for four years while I was with Sagamore Rowing Association. He is still coaching in Oyster Bay, NY. He is originally from Lincoln, Nebraska. His first job was as a local paper boy. He went to the University of Nebraska where he majored in Fine Arts. I asked him a bunch of random questions to see what sort of answers I would get. So I asked him what his childhood dream was and he responded "to design video games." When he was little he was really into PacMan and Dig Dug, which is where his inspiration came from. He told me that his favorite memory was when he travelled through Turkey for 3 months. He said he enjoyed meeting up with old friends and learning about a different culture and trying to pick up the language. I asked him what are some of his interests and he said woodwork and his dogs. He has two dogs. He said he loves the two shows, Spartacus and Breaking Bad. He told me his favorite movie is "Shawshank Redemption." I figured he would pick a movie I had never heard of. His favorite quote is, "Never expect to find anything, if you haven't lost something." I'm not sure who said that, but i'm guessing he made it up. Troy is also living with his girlfriend, Debbie and their daughter Rose on Long Island.
