Dunkirk, a miracle. Summary Battle of Dunkirk The year was 1940, World War II was raging on.  The German Forces attacked the Allied forces using a strategy called “Blitzkrieg” (lightning war). They invaded France through the Ardennes Forest, cutting allied communications and supplies as they pushed forwards. And so, the allied forces were cornered to the northern borders of France, a place called Dunkirk. Looking at this predicament, the English Prime Minister, Winston Churchill decided that evacuation was the only option. So he devised a plan named “Operation Dynamo”. On May 24th the German forces accidentally helped the Allied Forces, Hitler had ordered the Germans to stop advancing as he feared an allied retaliation.

King Midas, A Greek Tale

King Midas, A Greek Tale Midas was a king of great fortune who ruled the country of Phrygia, in Asia Minor. He had everything a king could wish for. He lived in luxury in a great castle. He shared his life of abundance with his beautiful daughter. Even though he was very rich, Midas thought that his greatest happiness was provided by gold.

Moss Out of all the plants in the world, why would I pick Moss? It's because of how unique this plant is. Before I get to the fun stuff, let me tell you what moss is first. Moss are green flowerless plants that often form green clumps, usually in damp places although they can survive for a long time in dry places. A single moss plant usually has a leaf that is only one cell thick. So, what makes these little green plants interesting? 1. Non-Vascular (Bryophyta) What does this mean? It means that moss, unlike other plants do not have the usual Xylem and Phloem, which is usually the main transport system for nutrients, water, etc. in plants. Instead, moisture is absorbed directly into cells by osmosis. Other than the fact that they lack Xylem and Phloem, they also do not have stems, roots or any distinguishable plant parts. 2.  Reproduction Moss also has an interesting way to reproduce, they go through a process called metagenesis which means t...
