By Hari Menon What’s the number 1 problem facing our community today? Covid 19, which is a respiratory disease caused by a virus called SARS Cov-2. It is highly infectious and has now become a pandemic, thus affecting people across the world. The most common ways people get it are by droplets and touching surfaces. By March 31 it had killed 89 Canadians. I've been thinking about what kind of technology would help and I've come up with a concept I'd like to share. 8-Bit is a robotic nurse designed to improve healthcare worldwide. This remarkable droid is programmed with over a 1,000 medical procedures including providing hand sanitizer, gloves and masks for their patient which is essential in preventing Covid-19. 8-Bit is a multidimensional wonder, he lumbers along like an arcade cabinet on legs. 8-bit was programmed with considerably impressive strength; he can lift 1,000 pounds considering he is made out of the strongest metal known to mankind, it's no surprise. His body is like a maze of buttons consisting of a spray button, inflating mask button, providing gloves button. His aesthetics are simply irresistible as he has a splendid shade of red and black, as well as a beautiful mix of white and turquoise, 8-Bit 2.0 has a remarkable rainbow spectrum and is immensely appealing. He deactivates into his case when you say “I am satisfied with my care.” Best of all though he is portable and can be with you 24/7 provided that you carry him in his case. Such a remarkable product won't come at a cheap price. Keep in mind quality over quantity. 8-Bit would have an astonishing price of $2,500. But, just ask yourself, with all these numerous features and capabilities what could top a robotic nurse? 8-Bit is just an idea right now. But robotic nurses are real.

Matcha Green Tea LatteTo make yourself a Matcha Latte you'll need
Hot Chocolate with a KickFor this amazing hot cocoa you'll need:
In order to make this drink you need to put the milk and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Let the cocoa powder dissolve. Mix in the maple syrup, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Take it off the stovetop, taste, and add things as needed. Place in mug. Enjoy! This very warming drink helps boost the metabolism and relaxes the nerves. Turmeric LatteYou need these ingredients for the latte:
Warm milk in saucepan over low to medium heat and add spices. Once dissolved add coconut oil, vanilla extract, and your choice of sweetener (honey or maple syrup). Remove from heat, taste, add spices or sweeter as you see fit, and enjoy. This drink is a delightful blend of sweet and savoury. It's also a great anti-inflammatory drink. By: Priya MigneaultThrone of GlassBy: Sarah J. Maas "Meet Celaena Sardothien. Beautiful. Deadly. Destined for greatness. In a land without magic, where the king rules with an iron hand, Celaena, an assassin, is summoned to the castle. She comes not to kill the king, but to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she is released from prison to serve as the king’s champion. The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. But something evil dwells in the castle of glass—and it’s there to kill. When her competitors start dying one by one, Celaena’s fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival, and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world." This eight part book series is full of plot-twists, romance, adrenaline, and adventure. I would not recommend reading this is you are under 14, as there is a few sex scenes throughout the series and there is quite a bit of intense trauma the characters have to work through. *Warning: the characters grow very closely to your heart throughout the series* https://sarahjmaas.com/throneofglass/ A Court of Thorns and RosesBy: Sarah J. Maas "When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world. As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it…or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever." If you couldn't tell already I think Sarah J. Maas is a fantastic author and I absolutely adore her books. This series has four books in it currently, with a fifth one coming soon! The series also contains plenty of romance and adventure that will leave you wanting more. It is not the same as Throne of Glass, with very different world constructs and characters. Again, I would not recommend for people under the age of 14 for similar reasons. https://sarahjmaas.com/court-of-thorns-and-roses/ Gregor the OverlanderBy: Suzanne Collins "When Gregor falls through a grate in the laundry room of his apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland, where spiders, rats, cockroaches coexist uneasily with humans. This world is on the brink of war, and Gregor's arrival is no accident. A prophecy foretells that Gregor has a role to play in the Underland's uncertain future. Gregor wants no part of it -- until he realizes it's the only way to solve the mystery of his father's disappearance. Reluctantly, Gregor embarks on a dangerous adventure that will change both him and the Underland forever." This series contains five books, all of which are suspenseful and adrenaline pumping. Suzanne Collins is more famously known for writing the 'Hunger Games' series, but 'Gregor the Overlander' is also another piece of incredible work from her. This series does contain violence, death, and topics of loneliness but it is suitable for anyone over the ages of 10. http://www.scholastic.ca/books/view/gregor-the-overlander-book-one-in-the-underland-chronicles By: Priya MigneaultExpedition HappinessThis hour and half long documentary will leave inspired and eager to travel all around the world, but especially North America. A couple and their dog from Germany renovate an old school and turn it into a home on wheels, that they travel North America in. They start off their journey in Canada during the winter months and end up arriving in Mexico, all the while enjoying the breath taking scenery and culture. I won't spoil to much, but it is definitely worth the watch. It shows the highs and lows to traveling, and what maybe to expect on a cross contential trip. Our PlanetOur Planet is an awe inspiring TV series that contains beautifully captured scenes from our planet. It is a limited series that I highly recommend. It covers topics from animals, to plants, to humans and explains how we as people can help our home thrive. The show really does cover how we all are apart of the same ecosystem and how we need each other to survive. Tales by LightThere are three seasons of this show available on Netflix, all of which cover this beautiful and vulnerable world we call home. The episodes in the series range in topics from ocean conservation to disappearing cultures around the globe. Tales by Light sparks hope and action in it's viewers and leaves you with a deep appreciation for biodiversity and humanity. |
