King Duncan
King Duncan, the ruler of Scotland,
dreams his blood will follow in line,
to take the throne when it’s time,
His dreams crushed by the one they call Macbeth,
because of his noble title he was laid to rest,
in the dreary darkness while he slept,
Macbeth crept in and stabbed him to death,
his own guards were framed at the scene,
so Macbeth could soon be the new king.

Capital Punishment within the short story, ‘Two Fishermen’
Capital punishment, also known as the death sentence was completely removed from Canada’s criminal code in 1976, 42 years ago. In Canada, capital punishment was sentenced to those who committed murder, treason or rape. Canada’s only method of execution for capital punishment was death by hanging and a total of 710 people were executed. At first, the hangings took place publicly but were later moved to jails. The first method of hanging was called hoisting where the convict would be hoisted in the air with the noose tightening around his neck, strangling him to death slowly. However, this method was slow and inefficient so they developed a new method where they would drop the convict and the noose would snap their neck, separating it and killing them instantly. This was much more efficient and some would say more humane. In 1914 the abolishment of capital punishment began when a private bill was enacted. The first real big change was not until 1966 where a debate was held in the House of Commons and some restrictions to capital punishments were changed. In 1976 capital punishment was finally removed from the criminal code but it was still in effect for the military. Later in 1987, capital punishment tried to comeback into Canada’s criminal code but was shut down by the house of commons in a vote. Finally, all ties to capital punishment in Canada’s criminal code was abolished in 1988, and now the maximum punishment is 25 years to life in jail without parole for first degree murder.
If the short story “Two Fishermen” took place in Canada, it most likely would have happened between the years of the 1930’s -1970’s. The story would have had to take place during the times of cars, capital punishment and the executions inside of jails, in Canada. In Canada, public executions ended around 1870’s and were moved to jails where they were much more private. In the short story, Smitty gets driven away in a car from the jail, after the execution to get away from the protesters. In Canada, cars became more common around the 1930’s after World War Two ended. The last execution in Canada was in 1962 where two men were convicted of murder. Although the last execution in Canada was in 1962, capital punishment was not taken out of the justice system until 1976. If the short story took place in Canada it most likely would been in a small town, near a lake. The story describes a town with dirt roads, old rustic buildings, a lake Michael and Smitty go fishing on.
In the short story “Two Fishermen”, Thomas Delaney is convicted for murder and was executed for killing the man that raped his wife. I do not believe that Thomas Delaney deserved the death penalty because he was defending and protecting himself and his wife. In the story, Thomas Delaney caught Mathew Reinhart while he was molesting his wife and stepped in to protect her. While Thomas was defending his wife, he also took a bad beating which means he was also defending himself. Since Thomas was defending his wife and himself, I believe capital punishment was not necessary and was too harsh. I believe Thomas was acting out of self-defense and should not have been given the death penalty. At most, I believe Thomas should have only received some jail time because none of this would have happened if Mathew Reinhart did not molest his wife.

Mile One Eating House, Pemberton, British Columbia
Posted by Nicholas Yu
In the small town of Pemberton, BC, huge flavours are found at Mile One Eating House. Named number one restaurant in Pemberton numerous times by Pique Newsmagazine, you can find Mile One Eating House 30 minutes north of Whistler. Making an appearance on the show You Gotta Eat Here and Global News, Mile One is known for their fresh and local ingredients. With fast and friendly service, even during rushed, peak hours, they still produce their addictive, quality dishes. What they call gourmet comfort food, their most popular items on their menu consists of their thick, juicy burgers and rich, to die for mac and cheeses. Their burgers are made with all natural beef, chicken, salmon, tuna. All the produces are sourced locally and everything is stacked between the in house made buns that will blow your mind away. On the side, they have potato wedges, a healthier alternative to fries, and they are freshly made by famous Pemberton potato’s that are represented by Pemberton’s mascot, Potato Jack. For a refreshing cold beverage to sip on, they have a ton of local brews and sodas to choose from. The atmosphere is family friendly, filled with returning locals and many tourists all year around. The vibes are very upbeat and relaxing at the same time with background music bumping in the background and the sounds of the grill sizzling in the open kitchen. The style to the restaurant is very open and modern with a whistler type feel and a Pemberton twist. The chalk board menu complements the log home style as well as the many wooden posts around the restaurant. On the walls, there are many decorations like a bull’s scull and horns with a unique story behind it and a cartoon map of Pemberton the size of the wall that you must check out. Another must see is a market attached to the restaurant where the restaurant sells local goods and some of their own products. Run by a husband and wife couple, chef Randy Jones and wife Cindy Yu take pride in where the ingredients are sourced from. The price points are very reasonable considering the quality of food you are getting and you absolutely get what you pay for. The ideal time to go is in the summer where you can sit outside and enjoy the breath-taking view of the mountains. It is definitely worth going the extra mile.

Went with my family, excellent service, great food, huge burger and tasty mac and cheese.
Great kid area to keep the kids busy and very cool market.
A number of physical and chemical properties are related to the sizes of the atoms, but atomic size is somewhat difficult to define. There is no precise outer boundary of an atom. The radius is one half the distance between the centers of two adjacent atoms. The radius of an atom depends on the environment in which it is found. For bonded atoms, we customarily speak of a covalent radius, ionic radius, and, in the case of metals, a metallic radius. For atoms that are not bonded together, the radius is known as the van der Waals radius. For comparison, all radii in the above table are covalent.
Melting points vary for each period, they have patterns that depend on each of their positions in the periodic table. The melting points of group 1 elements decrease going down the group. This is caused by a decrease in the forces of attractions within the atoms.
The group of elements that tend to have the highest melting point is group 14 because the elements with lower periods have similar melting points.
Tungsten has a high melting point and another element that could replace tungsten is platinum, it has a high melting point and can withstand heat.
The first few periods with lower atomic numbers have a smaller mass than the periods with a higher atomic number.
The densities in the the second period are significantly smaller than the densities of the second period.
The transition metals are very spread apart from each other compared to the rest of the group.
They are more suitable because they are lighter than iron would be on the plane.

a(x-p)^2+q
vertex=(p,q)
In this unit I learned how standard form quadratic functions can be interpreted from the equation y=a(x-p)²+q. The “a” value tells you the shape of the graph. The higher the magnitude of the “a” value, the more skinner the parabola becomes. The lower the magnitude of the “a” value, the wider the parabola becomes. If the “a” value is positive, then the graph opens up. If the “a” value is negative, the parabola opens down. The “p” value tells us the translation of the parabola to the right or the left. For example, if p=4, the graph would be translated 4 units to the right and the vertex would be 4 units to the right of the origin. The “q” value tells us the translation of the graph up or down. For example, if q=-8, the graph would be translated 8 units down and the vertex would be 8 units down of the origin.
Here is an example of how we can use this equation to interpret how the graph may look like.
We will use the equation y=0.5(x-8)²+64.
From this equation we know that a=0.5, p=8, ad q=64.
Since, a=0.5, we can interpret that every coordinate will be 0.5 multiplied by the regular coordinate of what it would be as x². We also know that the graph will be wider than x².
Since p=8, we can interpret that the graph will be translated 8 units to the right.
Since q=64, we can interpret that the graph will be translated 64 units up.
