Assignment #6- Oscar Emmanuel Peterson ( An African-Canadian pianist/composer)
A colorful African-American, 1945–2007 now deceased Oscar Emmanuel Peterson was a pianist. He was born 15th of August 1925 and passed away December 23, 2007. Brought up in Little Burgundy, Montreal, Quebec, Ontario in a poor neighborhood at a young age of 5 and honed his skills to endure a life talent of music. This man was religious too as a student of the Union United Church as well as a member. He embarks at mastering the jazz style with bright encouraging people. He gave attention to all music but the trumpet and piano were the instruments he enjoyed no matter which type of tyranny was done. But at the young age of 7 he was at the battle with tuberculosis and soon after only played the piano. Young Oscar was persistent at practising scales and classical notes and was influenced by his sister and father. During his time in school injustice was being done but he stood out and went ahead to showed he is not brought down by discrimination. He was called the "Maharajah of the keyboard" by Duke Ellington, "O.P." by his friends. He was a member of jazz royalty, and contributed to the recognition of Canada's musical talent and has been influential in creating other famous names.
He later on went on to Montreal high as a student. He was lit up in jazz because of his neighborhood and showed he was able to represent Canada by achieving 7 dignified Grammy Awards, and creating+releasing over 200 recordings, and received other numerous awards and honors over the course of his career. He has been proclaimed one of the greatest pianists of all time with a career of 65 lasting years enlightening the audiences with his performances with his groups and trios. He was a great person, composer, and representative as an expressive African Canadian showing the world he can do whatever he wishes to embark in no matter what came in his way! Peterson, before he passed away, resided in a two storey house on Hammond Road in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. He is a great man that lit the world while it was dark!

Assignment #5- The Unbearable coldddddd!!!!!!! brrrr :(
THE cold is unbearable and the people are worn out from this storm of weather and frankly, it is pushing to the limit. My ears swell up if the cold is severe and I am exposed, some have frostbites and it bothers them for weeks, lips tear due to temperatures, and other tiring weakness and allergies.
This leads me to the research and discussion of the survival and the sustenance of the native and French in the lands in which we strive to live in now with its challenges and problems it hands us even though we are so technologically advanced. As I said above the people of this time are suffering from diseases and dying and there are many cures but even so we still complain. Back in the 1800's, the people of Canada had absolutely no cures to the new coming allergies and diseases and were in a bad situation with no way to protect against the eye of the storm. They needed migrants moving in to create a settlement but had many failures due to the housing and heating efficiencies.
Soooo.... the French had wondered how to solve this problem and went to experienced settlers for many years to transact in trade and reasoning for the commandment of cures to these allergies/diseases and wearing of the fur and cover to the homes of the ridden colonies. So they took enough for the people remaining to bear a settlement. IT did cost a lot and the people were concerned but the other solution for people was to go back home. There were many problems in the government too which resulted in the equal treatment to everyone. People needed attention because French could not travel in the ice cold winter and people needed to leave so that's what they did and also along with migration south. People had gone to natives to seek refuge for cures and ways to strive long enough to build a settlement for us too. (future settlers)
Another problem faced was that people had no way of adjusting to the new diseases made and the ones they found their and the cold took over until the spring and so the Canadians had to migrate almost all the time and make many repairs which took a lot of time and toll of money. People needed food but this was getting in the way and trade was being interfered with. People were losing money and becoming poor so the French and other invaders started to begin ties with the first nations as marriage and institutions with languages and they began to live without a challenge of winter with the trade and the power to live with protection.
My parents came to Canada in question and in 1997, about? So they arrived in Montreal astounded by the language and were not able to bear it because my older brother could not proceed in school and we could not understand since people refused to speak English. Even before we were able to face and bear a cold storm and the tension of finding a way to transport, so we ended up in Ottawa a couple of months before the winter with help. So when we chose a house we chose insulated and free heating houses in this very co-op. The winter did not bother us very much because it was not much severe but soon we were prepared forthe unbearable ones with a good van and many good routes. We were settled and had a good home good people and advice so we could live with no problems like sidewalks, buses, road blockage, etc.. We took extra precautions because this was the first time we faced the snow and it turned out that was enough to deal with the severe winter!
1 is Wikipedia- French colonization of the Americas
I learned a great deal, especially about the French challenges in settlement and the efficient buildup way they used to stop it. Here is a quote and be sure to check it out because it tells all 5 w's as an article, "The French subsequently tried to establish several colonies throughout North America that failed, due to weather, disease or conflict with other European powers."
The second is http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca
It taught me about the succession and fall of the French in port Royal for the pass through the winter and it also taught me with a supporting quote,"The French formed good relations with the Mi'kmaq and traded with them for furs. The colonists had made it through the winter well, but one day news came from France that the king had ended de Monts' monopoly on fur trading."

Assignment #4 - My favourite Blog's of the future
I had taken a glance at several amounts of blogs and I would like to choose 4 blogs to give positive feedback about for this 4th assignment. :). They stated their opinions very well and sometimes supported these predictions of 100 years in the future with details and references/examples.
Fatima A. 's is the first excellent blog I would like to comment about and I say she did summarize the thought well with some quick points. She evidently supported the idea of violence, political violence, and street fights with a remarkable statement. "I believe Canada will put a stop to violence that is started over drugs, politics, and money. In 100 years, the Canadian population will have better things to do then fight over things that can be stopped immediately."I suggest that she should be a bit more specific with the struggles, and maybe if you explained how this can be achieved it would be more perfect than it already is! Nice informal blog, and I enjoyed reading your very insightful blogs, keep on writing with the good work! To check out the well written blog just click here on this for her blog site. http://historyfatema.blogspot.com/.
The next out of the ordinary and very reasonable blog with very true facts is the futuristic prediction post of Talinho. (Tale) He toyed with the future a bit, which I find perfectly correct and he did an excellent job of adding the definition of monarchy. He made it very detailed and thorough with supporting ideas. I liked his prediction of the mars movement because he followed the exact instructions that you are to predict what you think is going to happen in the next 100 years. He showed his thoughts because truly anything can happen and he supported this thought with a true statement and reasonable facts. The statement/quote from him is, "The point is that something new happens every day and that there is no way to predict exactly what is going to happen tomorrow, let alone 100 years. To exaimine this perfect example of a blog click here-
http://historytalinhom.blogspot.com/.
Now the third one I would like to comment and quote from is the blog of Auguste from E8C and he was insightful with quite true facts that were based on experience and reference. I would just like to add that he should give examples and other thoughts from me to him are located on the website clicked here- http://j-confed-log-a.blogspot.com/. A nice quote from him I thought was true and very well due to the observations around us is, "I also think that there will be fewer religions and less discrimination being it racial or sexual."
The last blog I would like to comment and track on is of Timmy lee of E7/8 and he wrote true and insightful thoughts and expressed his own belief. I reccomend you should include precise in-depth facts but it was nice work. Take a look at his blog by clicking here- http://historytiml.blogspot.com/. The quote that was very unique was, "Gee, there're a lot of things to talk about a 100 years from now like space travel, politics, environment, and society but I hope that the future will be positive because when I come back in another life, I don't want to suffer for my actions." Good job Tim!

ASSIGNMENT #3: History of my future
I predict the pollution will continue because not only one country, such as Canada or the U.S.A. because the other parts of the world have to be responsible and the government has to find a way. By the looks of it the technology will rapidly produce. Just look at the inventions being made, the cartoons 100's of years ago drew and expressed thoughts of technology, such as watch phones are now being produced by the young of the future with superior enough intellect! If you have watched the movie Wall-E for example it shows a very important change lesson that we have to teach the people of this generation before it is too late to follow the basic rules and support the earth because it may not support itself and we may forget the violence em bounded
planet. We may not have flying cars or such but we have a way soon and if we stand together later on we can save this planet for the better and follow the right way and teachings.
We might not find the right plan but it will come. Financially countries will fail and economy for western countries might drop and we might fall to extensive repairs and the global warming will probably increase and we might flee. Due to graphing predictions and studies. The space plan might take in place because technology of the outer universe grows at an outstanding rate and countries are achieving things we did not even dream of. We will send probes, improve solar cars because that is the only travel strategy for use with enough energy renewable as oppose to diesel engine cars that will damage the society with it's crude ability. We have to think of pro's and advantages because that is the only plan we can afford right now to even come close to surviving to the year of 2109. Overall there will be ups and downs and technology might even be the downfall, so we have to stick to basics and what we can rely on, we might come close to a successful century but we need to stand together as a planet, not a country. Please visit http://christophermoorehistory.blogspot.com/2009/01/to-nines-reviewing-centuries.html for this creative man's insight.
Bibliography, I Have visited wikipedia, global warming graphing, and from peers.
The things people deserve will be sacrificed in order for sustenance, I can tell you that much.
A man with a plan....

I would just like to advise people about the lottery of this week. I have bought a lottery ticket and I have completely no hope at all for myself. Buuuttt..... I have heard of an old poor woman who also had no hope of herself in her soon to be winning lottery ticket and threw it in the sewers and later passed away. She told herself and believed she would lose, and in her very heart knew she would not obtain the 15 million dollars. But soon she ended up winning and did not tell anyone about her ticket. She was an old single hopeless woman but I want to follow the rule. So believe to not believe!
