         <description><![CDATA[<div>There’s definitely some irony in me using a networking platform to post this blog but apparently that’s how the world works nowadays! You see, something that I am becoming increasingly concerned about is the way that we use social media in today’s society and how often we are missing out on ‘real life’ experiences through becoming increasingly obsessed with our virtual selves. Here’s an example for you: people nowadays pay extortionate prices to go and see their favourite bands and artists live, yet, when they get there, all they do is stare at said performance through their phone, rather than enjoying being in ‘the moment’. Surely this defeats the object of attending the concert? I believe it was Adele who iconically mid-performance requested that a member of the audience stop filming her through a camera and simply enjoy the performance. That’s the important word: ‘simple’. Before social media started taking over, everything felt so much simpler.  <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br></div><div> </div><div>Doctor who is a British television show about a person who comes from the planet Gallifrey. It started in the 1963 and is still running to this day. I love the new series. The Doctor is the main character and can do something called regenerating. I love this as it means that the show can go on forever because if an actor doesn’t want to be on the show anymore they can just be replaced. The current doctor is the first woman to be the doctor. I know a lot of people think that the doctor should always be a man and I know this is kind of sexist but I first kind of thought that too. As I watched the new episodes of s11 I began to love her. </div><div> </div><div>My favourite doctor is David Tennant. I have liked doctor who since I was around 9 Year’s old. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Manga and anime is greatly misunderstood, and for good reason, yes it may not be the most appealing thing through a simple explanation, but it is so in-depth with 1000+ great shows rich with characters, settings, plots and visuals. With such a vast library lots of rubbish can show up and it can be disheartening and honestly I can respect people’s wishes to stay away from anime and manga in general, but if you like animation, music and interesting plots then anime is for you! Name a topic and most likely there was an anime for it, varying in qualities. Anime can date back to the 50’s and are still kicking now, with fight scenes, instrumentals, heartbreaks, transformations and many, many more. </div><div><br></div><div>                    </div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The 21st century is cool. But there are some thing I just don’t understand about it. Selfies. Ok, I can understand why you want to show  people this, for example a special occasion or hanging out with friends and family, but what I don’t understand is when your by yourself and take a picture of yourself and slap a basic filter on, ie: the snapchat dog filter. If you send that to your crush, your not showing “look how beautiful I look” your showing them “ look how cute I look with these cgi ears and nose on my face”. My younger sister does this thing when she’s taking selfies, she looks to the side, raises her chin up and puffs out her lips. Like dude! She is 10 years old! She has generally big lips anyway, but I don’t get it when they do this. Sure, you want to eliminate that ‘double chin’ of theirs, but if your younger than 40 I don’t think you need to worry 😂</div><div><br></div><div>And don’t forget those flirty selfies! Oh god the cringe XD </div><div><br></div><div>Another thing I don’t get is short skirts or short shorts. Like, I just wanna eat my lunch in peace and not see girls showing off their pants. Rolling up? Just get a smaller skirt, or a baby one. You can get them for like 2 quid at Tesco. But I can understand why you want a shorter skirt, maybe it’s too long or it’s a fashion idea. But... why?😅</div><div><br></div><div>WEIRD FASHION RUNWAY THINGS. I don’t even know what the fashion industry is thinking anymore! I’ll show you a few images and I think you’ll get the idea</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Like boi, what is this? It looks like my Grandmas vase</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>When you love nature and you love it so much you want to wear it</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>When you are a secret agent but have nothing to wear but this</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>This looks um.... nice... HEY IS THAT THAT THING FROM JURASSIC WORLD???</div><div>(Jurassic world 4 :The fashion remake)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Ahh yes. The ‘I just got out of the dry cleaners’ look. And a sock for an accessory. </div><div><br></div><div>“I am one with the plants”</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Oh god. Now I sound like your Grandmother.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Well see ya,</div><div><br></div><div>Bye!</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My blog by Amelia rushen </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I was a curious child. Wanted the best for everyone. Known how some people have problems in daily life. Wanted to solve the problems all around the world. But one day that happened to me and my amazing beautiful life changed into a dark and mysterious story. And this is how it goes</div><div><br></div><div>It wasn’t an easy life My mum and dad split up but I could cope with my mum for a while. She was amazing, she helped me with my homework, helped me stand up to bullies, taught me how to swim, we went for walks, she bought me a dog and so many other things, but there was one problem?</div><div><br></div><div>I was in the park on the swings, swinging back and fourth, waiting for my mum to come and pick me up from school, I thought to myself “ what if she forgot about me. I saw happy children pass by with the mothers and fathers talking about amazing things, when my mother came over ( finally), she knelt down and spoke in a calm voice</div><div>” I am so sorry I’m late but I have got some good news...” I was waiting hearing her brain shouting for help. “Well.... I am pregnant.” </div><div>“What, what about dad”</div><div>So that was the end of my life, well that is what I thought anyway.</div><div><br></div><div>We arrived back at home. I was still thinking of what happened at the park. I thought I was going to be sick. I didn’t know what to do so, I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. Hoped that the baby would just disappear. I know how this would be now. Mum looking after the baby not thinking about me. I new then my life was going to end.</div><div><br></div><div>Next month on the 20 th of may my baby brother was born and I can’t believe I still remember this but I did. When I looked at his eyes there was some kind of goodness inside him so maybe I could get along with him in the end but I still had this feeling that mum would not think about me. </div><div><br></div><div>I went home to see mum feeding the baby. She was singing a lullaby to him. I opened the door and asked my mum “ what’s his name going to be.” </div><div>Mum answered “ Jake. Now go up to your room”</div><div>I knew it all along she would forget about me. I cried as I went up the stairs. I couldn’t stop so I had to do something had to end my life. I stepped on my window ledge and said to myself, “ 1,2,3 and” I fell deep deep into a hole where no one could imagine going.</div><div><br></div><div>From Amelia rushen This is a true story about my best friend. She had depression and she couldn’t cope so she ended her life but I know now that she feels better and in a safe place.</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Farming</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hi, my name is Charlotte and I love cows, farming and cow showing! Ever since I was young I have been around cows because my dad is a dairy engineer. Since I was young I have been going round all the farms with my dad in the holidays because he always promotes to get out there and make a good impression of yourself, before the end of the school year of 2018 me and my dad were discussing what I was going to do in the holidays and I thought for a change I would like to try farming. My dad thought that it would be a great idea because I had already seen the engineering side of agriculture and it would be a great opportunity to learn more, gain experience and do something different. We asked a farmer that my dad is good friends with and very well known in the agricultural industry if I could go and spend a couple of days at his farm. He said yes but was a bit nervous because I hadn’t done any farming before and he had already had a few people on his farm that hadn’t done very well there.</div><div><br></div><div>When it came to my first day on the farm I was really excited but a bit nervous as well because I wanted to make a good impression of my self and I also didn’t want to ruin my dads reputation because he has a very good reputation and is very high up in the industry so I had to make sure that I didn’t destroy that as well. I wouldn’t be risked with anything as important as that if my dad didn’t believe that I would do well. </div><div><br></div><div>I went in to the parlour on my first day and I noticed that it was not a modern parlour and I could tell that from my experience with different parlours, then I instantly knew that they would be very traditional farmers which I was very happy about because I would be doing lots of stuff physically rather than with machinery so I would be able to learn a lot more and gain lots of experience! I got told to go into the collecting yard (where all the cows go for milking) and I got told to do the scraping up, so I did as I was told and I went in to the collecting yard and got a scraper and I got told to scrap it into the slats in the floor because they lead to a pump that can pump it directly to the slurry pit (where the poo is stored for spreading). I really liked that feature because it will keeps the farm really clean instead of scraping slurry around the farm and getting everywhere!</div><div><br></div><div>After scraping up I went in for my breakfast and when I went in the house I saw all the rewards they had got from Holstein UK (a farming organisation) and Genus (artificial insemination company) and they were spectacular! We were all having a conversation about machinery because as the farmers on this farm are very traditional, they don’t fully understand modern machinery and we all found it very interesting because I would explain about the modern equipment and then I would be told how they farmed when they were younger.</div><div><br></div><div>When breakfast time had ended I went to the herdsman to move the electric fence back. He told me that there are two grazing methods: pastures and strip grazing and we were using strip grazing and that works because everyday we would move the electric fence back 12 feet so the cows could get long grass. After we moved the fence and turned it on, we walked to the field with the cows to go and get them to the field.</div><div><br></div><div>Now that the cows were grazing the heifers (young cows) had to be fed their blend (mixed feeds) and straw, we fed the heifers and then we fed the dry cows (cows that have stopped milking ready to have their calf) they get fed a very similar blend to the heifers. Once the animals had been fed we had to do the bedding up which requires clean straw to be spread around the indoor pens. First I had to bed up the calves (baby cows) and then the beef, steers (young bulls) and bullocks (castrated steers).</div><div><br></div><div>Before and after lunch we had to do some other jobs and then it was break time at 3o’clock and then we had to get the cows in for milking. I didn’t need to be shown how to milk because I had already done it a few times before. If you aren’t a farmer then the chances that you think milking is still done by hand are very high but it is not, it is done with machinery but I will explain about farming equipment in another blog. In some circumstances such as ill cows or some newly calved cows would have to be milked by hand but it is not the milk you drink!</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for reading my blog and I hope you read my next one!</div><div>Charlotte ❤️</div>]]></description>

Its just now in 2018 nearly 2019 Feminism is seen has Woman who think they are more superior than men. I call these people Femi-Nazi because Nazi believed they are the superior race sound familiar. So please stop hating on Feminism and Feminists they just want equality, the crazy people aren’t feminism they are crazy people </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I’m always having weird dreams and my friends are sick to death of hearing them everyday at school. I’m going to talk about one I had last night.<br>So basically I appeared in a random room that looked nice, blue walls, white bed, black curtains. A women was sitting on the bed rocking side to side making noises like she was struggling for breath. I walked over to her and she grabbed my leg and pleaded me to get her a Spider- Man movie so I asked “which one?” And she replied “get me a Spider-Man movie!” So we were going at each other screaming over which one she wanted for ages. So I just left and picked up the first one I saw and it was the one with Andrew Garfield. I went back, showed her and she slapped it out of my hand, cried and screamed pleading for a different one. I went back out and got the first one I saw the one with Tobey Maguire and went back. I gave it to her and she smiled and was jumping with joy. 5 minutes later she sat back down staring at the the movie cover she put it on her right palm raised it in the air and slapped it on her left arm and the dvd case somehow transformed into a wet, mushy type of paste/paper draped over her arm. She looked up at me slowly and started laughing like a mad man then Tobey Maguire burst through a wall and carried her away. <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It’s that time of the week. Your English teacher has just announced to the class that today you are going to be reading the novel you are studying ‘out loud’. You take a big gulp of air, as you know what’s coming next as you’re right in his/hers eye line. They’re going to ask you to read.<br><br></div><div>Now, here’s the thing: you wouldn’t find that so daunting if you actually read in your own time. One of the main reasons that students do not like to read, especially things like Dickens or Shakespeare, is because they are worried about not being able to pronounce the words. Not only will reading more help you pronounce those words, it will also help you to understand them! Reading helps to both extend and develop your vocabulary.<br><br></div><div>Trust me, I am not asking you to sit and read ‘Oliver Twist’ in your own time. On the contrary – I just want you to find a book that you enjoy and relish reading it! <br><br></div><div>Sadly, I am aware that there is a culture where students feel they can’t read during times such as form time and lunch as they are concerned about being criticised by their friends. This is why I named this blog ‘What <em>are</em> you reading for?’, as it emphasises how some students criticise others for doing something they enjoy. What you need to remember is that if you enjoy reading, there is always somewhere to go. Make the most of the clubs on both Dove and Trent and keep on reading! <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Me and my experiences gaming </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>So if you know me pretty well I play a lot of games. Like it’s the only thing I do other than drawing or watching YouTube. My favourite games that I play at the moment are Overwatch, Alex legends and Arkham Knight (one of the best next to Arkham Origins). I’ve fully completed all Arkham’s games other than Arkham asylum, I never really enjoyed the Arkham Asylum games because I love the large free roam of Gotham and Arkham Asylum kinda limited that. For all the other Arkham games I got all the Riddler trophies, crimals tapws etc. Apex is also a really good game, it’s a similar format to Fortnite but like 1000 times better. You have different heroes you can play and you have customable weapons which Fortnite doesn’t have. Fortnite relise on it’s building mechanism too much and it’s annoying. I play on console to clicking the right buttons is a nightmare but Apex to so much mire simple and isn’t that complicated. <br><br>On the other hand I am a ‘girl gamer’ so I definitely have some interesting experiences. On overwatch their is a lot a sexism, I’ve had at least 5 different experiences with ‘alpha males who play the games better because he’s a man’ which was an actual quote from one of the man I played with. Another one was I was playing with Turbo (I friend I met over the games, he’s Canadian and really nice) and as soon as I got on the mic and started talking he said <br>Him: wait is diamond a girl? (Diamond is short for my name on Xbox)<br>Me: yes she is a girl<br>Him: why are you playing games? <br>I’ve heard that a lot and I’m pretty used to it <br>Me: because I can (the game round had started by now)<br>Him: but your a girl?!<br>He then went on a rant about how girl are to weak and unintelligent to play video games. I’ve heard it all before but one thing he said shocked me. “Woman’s hands was made to cook and clean not play video game”. After the games I reported him and put him as a ‘avoid as teammate’ which is a little feature where the games never puts you and the other player in the same game for a week.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>This is my most recent start to a book, it’s called Characteristics <br><br>Recreate<br><br></div><div>The point of view from the antagonist <br><br></div><div>Maybe. Just maybe. If I could only reach out to someone about this problem... this stupid... obsession.<br><br></div><div>Wow, how does a drama start? Like that I bet, huh? Let’s tell you a little about me...<br><br></div><div>I have no name, and I’m severely depressed. My parents never believed me. Now I don’t think I can be fixed, because the only thing that can fill my head are the darkest thoughts you could ever think of... things... voices... they tell me to...to... to kill.<br><br></div><div>Both myself and others. Everyone who ever did me wrong, even the smallest movements can trigger them. At first, I didn’t notice it. They where only whispers, appearing when I was alone, in the shadows. Though, now, there more like screams, dominating every thought that slips through the cracks. <br><br></div><div>I’m Broken. The only thing to do to my brain is... destroy it. So they can recreate it.<br><br></div><div>Someday, I’ll rid myself of the imperfections that I hold. And that day, the world will see, all of the sins and misdeeds they all committed, will circle back at them! Like... karma. Good luck turned evil! This will be the greatest mental break the world will ever experience. It will be an Apocalypse!<br><br></div><div><em>Years<br></em><br></div><div>It’s been 5 years since the bomb went off. My mother still thinks it’s my fault! You see, I was sent in to defuse it... I didn’t get there in time. Half the world... derelict, destroyed. Only a hand full of humans survived, and all of those who did have a mutation. Whether you could see it or not... mine is that... I don’t have any shins. Or feet. I just have thigh and then prosthetic, though it’s not that bad, I mean, I could have two heads. Or no skin. Or even tentacles instead of arms. In comparison to other people, I got lucky!<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hey, my alias on the internet is Aspie_ - but here I’m called umm... Don’t you mind about my name - however: Why would, if you knew me, my name - bring me to mind? How comes people value a piece of flimsy paper, equal to sustenance? This is because we give them value. Our society has dictated that we are a, seemingly random, jumble of symbols (which mean nothing other than what we as a collective give them value), a piece of paper with no outward purpose to our survival or entertainment is worth anything. We have decided that a banana is a banana - or a cat is a cat. Now I assume your starting to get the kind of person I am, and you wouldn’t be wrong (unless you actually are... There’s no way for me to know, I’m not psychic). </div><div> </div><div>I guess I should do what everybody else has done, give a short synopsis of who I am; obviously it’s not going to be true. I’m not going to tell people that I live in number six, St. Mary’s Drive, Staffordshire, England - that would be silly). I am 3962 and a half years old at the time of writing this and my favourite colour is apartment sky-rise. I was born to lobster and a kitchen counter in 3876 AD (I did warn you). My favourite food is blood soup (sorry to those of you who have Haemophobia) and I am a random guy who submits to our robot overlords, because artificial intelligence has taken over. #Don’t zap us with your laser rays of death #Surviving. Well that was all a pointless waste of time and creativity. I was planning to do a nice segway in the into the next topic, but seeing as I’ve decided to change what I was going to write about in the next paragraph, and I can’t be bothered to come up with something different, I’m not. </div><div> </div><div>Some of my favourite topics include Philosophy [particularly looking at determinism, what is moral and ethical (yes I understand they’re different things, I meant separately), and religion], Ontology (yes another outlet of Philosophy, get over it), Mythology, Music, books and coding. I realise that others have focused on one topic in particular - and I was going to do similar, until I thought: what should I focus on? I could continue to look at the worth we give tings, or at schools of philosophical thought. I could talk about music, I play three musical instruments. Or I could tell stories. There is too much choice that I just cannot decide. I don’t want this to be unproductive but... </div><div> </div><div>In this world we live in, there is so many things crowing for our attention. Fighting for domination over our attention. Should I try to become the worlds best Tetris player or get to grade eight on eight instruments. People say you can be anything you want to be, but they don’t tell you you can’t be everything. </div><div> </div><div>I understand at this point I’ve made it so that I can’t end this neatly and the ending’s probably going to be very anticlimactic.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Blog Day One— Austria skiing </div><div>Hi there! I am Isabel Mae, up till now you haven’t heard from me. Anyway I had no idea what I wanted to put in this blog. I had ideas but no real inspiration. The we were given this task over the holidays. So here I go. </div><div>So over this holiday my aunt, uncle, mum, dad and me went to seefeld</div><div>Austria for a skiing trip, like we did in 2016. Except this time I can actually ski, not kinda awkwardly slide in a pizza like shape. Unfortunately I did get round to snowboarding, my skills are severely lacking there as well truthfully. It started if rather badly in all honesty. We had rented a apartment, as is normal when we go on holiday, except this time we were meant to arrive at 5pm. Long story short, delays, air traffic, all in all we arrived at 6:25pm. So not really all that late. No problem. Except the key holder has made her hours in which you can get the key 10am-6pm. No exemptions, at all. So night one was spent on a bar benches. Which were surprisingly comfortable. Anyway next day we got our skis. My mum, dad and uncle all got Nordic skis (crosscountry skis, a type of skiing I have tried but cannot understand the pleasure in) and I myself got down hill skis. My aunt did not get any snow gear. I decided I wanted to go down the learners slope to get the feel again. It was going quite well. Nearly took at a line of ski school 7 year olds. Then I went again, bad idea. I had gotten half way down when this beginner lost control and swerved in front of me. I turned fell, not having gloves on, I scraped up my hand. I got back up and went to the bottom of the slope, nearly took out a toddler spinning in circles on a sledge, and stopped. I couldn’t bend my thumb, but it was fine, so I but my gloves on and continued on for another hour or so. We went back to the apartment and got changed.  We went out and ate gröstl then went to bed.</div>]]></description>
