     Today's alternate fact is "The entire human body replaces itself about every 7 years." Did anyone know about it? I did not! I think it is pretty interesting fact to read about. But does everyone like to read? I don't think so! Some people might have troubles with reading and understanding what is it about or it takes so much time. For this we have visual facts, videos that we can watch. So, today I am going to compare 2 sources that I chose. One is going to be only primarily text and the other one is primarily visual and you all can decide what is better for you.     A written article is more about understanding and paying attention to each word. In primarily text author includes strong details and strong words since we can't see any pictures. We also can see written examples. We have to have imagination. That way we can imagine pictures in our heads. In the article I chose we can paragraphs and each paragraph has a title and a different meaning. What ...

      Is wrestling  the first sport in the world? Yes. It's crazy. I never knew about it! The sport of wrestling has come a long way since it was practiced by our earliest ancestors, becoming a more formal and organized representation of the world's oldest form of competition. These days, traditional and modern forms of wrestling are practiced on every continent and in almost every country.    According to article: "Wrestling is considered the oldest sport in the world. We know because the famous cave paintings in Lascaux, France, dating back to 15,300 years ago, depict wrestlers. And not only in France either; Paintings with illustrated wresters have been found in caves all over the world, from 7000 BC in Mongolia, from 6000 BC in Libya and in prehistoric caves in Japan. A papyrus fragment was found with wrestling instructions on it, dating somewhere between 100 and 200 AD. And after all this time, it is still one of the most popular sports in the wor...

   Thomas Edison Did Not Invent The Light Bulb.      Thomas Edison shouldn't be credited as the inventor of the light bulb! The light bulb was around for a long time before Edison started working on it. How it says in the article: "Ernest Freeberg shows that the light bulb reflected the work of many inventors, rather than Edison’s lone genius." At this point I can say that Thomas Edison stole —ideas from other inventors who were also working on an incandescent bulb.   Two Canadians, Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans, successfully produced and patented an electric filament lamp before Edison had seriously turned his mind to electric lighting. Woodward and Evans endeavoured to refine and commercialize their light bulb with little success, eventually succumbing to a lack of funding and selling their patent rights to Edison in 1879 for US$5,000 (or about $100,000 in today’s dollars). With access to the necessary funding, Edison was able to develop an imp...

      I am trying my best for my blog to meet all the rubric criteria and I think I am doing pretty good with it. I have some struggles thought. Sometimes it's really difficult to write a certain number or words but I write as much as I can.     I love writing as long as I can write my thoughts. I was a little bit  stressed when we had to read articles about George Taylor and Kamala Harris. It was difficult for me to read and understand the difference between these two candidates. It took me few times to read each article and compare these two candidates.     I am putting all my efforts into my blogs. I spend a lot of time on each blog. I am choosing the best pictures for it and I am checking all my grammars to make sure it's in a good shape. After I post my blog, I usually read it one more time and check for grammars. I am trying to follow all the rules that my Instructor gave us and finish all my work in time. ...

Facts about George Edwin Taylor. Taylor’s mother died in 1861 or 1862, leaving him with no known sponsor or relative. Young Taylor was left a waif and slept in dry goods boxes and he e survived (a miracle in itself) and arrived at La Crosse, Wisconsin, in 1865, onboard a side-paddle wheeler. To support himself, the Times reported, Taylor took a job as a newspaper reporter in La Crosse. He eventually became editor of the La Crosse Evening Star . By 1886, he owned and edited The Wisconsin Labor Advocate, a La Crosse newspaper with an overwhelmingly white readership. He had shared the stage–literally–with Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, and W. E. B. Du Bois and was a business partner with George Woodson, founder of the National Bar Association.  He knew Buffalo Bill Cody personally and had worked for “Brick” Marcus Pomeroy, editor of the National Democrat . Given the fact that Taylor received fewer than 2,000 votes when he ran for president in 1904, it is hard to ca...
