“Why isn't adoption free? It seems like adoption is so expensive, almost like buying a baby.” Adoptions are always necessarily expensive. Private and international adoption are the two most expensive types of adoptions. However, spending more money on adoption can help to qualify the parents for adoption and prepare the family for an adopted child. If all types of adoption are free, It will decrease the children’s life equality, make them mentally feel worthless, and increase the possibility of child abuse.  Firstly, spending more money on a private adoption can help to qualify the parents for adoption. In order to adopt a child, the parents need many certifications and qualifications to have parental rights for a child. Sometimes, adoption agencies are necessary for the legal aspect of adoption. They often have many experienced counselors, adoption professionals, and access to more resources, which allow them to provide a wide variety of services to adoptive families. The duti...

 

  Perhaps one holds a piece of paper - a dull, blank piece of paper. Then, they might wonder, "Where did this paper come from? How was it even made!?" Suddenly, a swarm of questions float around their head, and they apply the inquiry question to each of their questions to feed their curiosity. And maybe, just maybe, their questions eventually lead them to... How Paper is Made!!! We might be familiar with the paper pulp and tree cutting steps, but what is the whole process? Logs are accumulated.  In this step, trees are cut down so that logs can be acquired for the next step. Debarking & chipping.  The bark cannot be used. Alas, it is stripped from the logs. Pulping . Machines break down the lignin the logs, creating pulp! Papermaking.  The paper is inserted into a papermaking machine and squirted through a horizontal slit so that any excess water from the logs can be squeezed out. Sheet.  The fibres in the pulp begin to spread, taking a sheet form. Water squ...

Introduction The Canadian Confederation took place in 1867. Before the confederation, there were six main factors that gradually resulted in confederation. In this presentation, we will be talking about the railway issue, changes in British attitudes, American invasion, political deadlock, and   cancellation of the Reciprocity Treaty. We hope you enjoy it! Railway Issue Two people involved with this factor include George-Etienne Cartier from Canada East and Alexander Galt. They had ties with railway companies but were disappointed to see that the Grand Trunk Railway (which linked Toronto and Montréal) was not doing well financially, due to the lack of passengers and freight traffic within the Canadas. Additionally, the Baring Brothers thought of the idea that Confederation would solve the issue and food producers (in the Maritimes) and manufacturers (in the Canadas) believed that the trade that the railways would bring would benefit them.  Before Confederation, the main s...

Why Does Ice Float on Water? Have you ever wondered why ice is always floating on top of the water? You would think, water is a liquid and ice is a solid, since solids contract while cooling, their volumes increase, and the density would decrease. Thus, denser objects like ice would sink in water. But it doesn’t! When the water is 35 degrees celsius, the water molecules are moving freely and running past each other. When the temperature drops to 4 degrees celsius, as mentioned in the particle theory, temperature affects the speed of the particles. The water molecules will move and run less. At this point, they are taking less space. If the temperature continues to drop, you might think that molecules will be closely packed together, which means decreasing volume and increasing density. But it is NOT what happens. Water behaves abnormally when it is cooled due to its unique molecular structure. Water has a special interaction between molecules, which is called a hydrogen bond. As we all...

The Functions of Ophiocordyceps unilateralis: a Scientific Article *do not copy or it will count as plagiarism* Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is just as complicated as it sounds! It's an insect-pathogenic fungal parasite that infects and manipulates ants, and it's also known as zombie ant fungus. Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is found in tropical forests and in many moist places where it can thrive safely. It is one of the many species of Cordyceps, which is a genus full of manipulating fungi, which each infects a different insect. In this case, ants are the victim.  To summarize the process, active Ophiocordyceps unilateralis spores infect ants and force the ants to climb onto the stem of a leaf and bite it with an extreme force so that it wouldn't fall off. Then, the ant dies and a stroma - the main fungus stem - erupts from the back of the ant's head and releases more spores. Although not confirmed, many researchers (like Charissa de Bekker) say that the mind control is ...
