The Amish


This Website introduced about The Amish lifestyle and about the Amish origins and the Amish Agriculture. And Amish are first from Switzerland, and there are approximately 150,000 Amish in North America. The largest group is in Holmes County, Ohio, with significant populations in Pennsylvania, northern Indiana and Iowa. Others are located in the eastern and mid-western states and Ontario, Canada. At the agriculture the Amish are primarily farmers. Some, however, are carpenters and cabinet makers, blacksmiths, buggy and harness makers, all geared toward supporting the Amish lifestyle. On there farms, they are without electric and telephone lines, and many of their conveniences were used long time ago. They use Wood or coal fueled stoves that provide heat. Cooking stoves are powered by propane, kerosene or wood. Kerosene or clear gas lamps provide light.
These tell us about the Amish’s life and Amish lifestyle. These look very old, but this is a culture about Amish, and their different lifestyle lets us think more and more. They use all that things are very old, but these don’t have environmental pollution, and we must protect this culture.

Tornadoes

I watc Website that introduces tornadoes, why do we have tornadoes , if it happens now what you must do can let you safe. And in the USA, which always has a lot of tornadoes and a lot of things about it, that's very interesting and also helpful.
I think having tornadoes is about weather, some countries have tornadoes. For example China and Japan have no tornadoes or just a few, so they often think there are none or it doesn't matter. In the USA, some of states have them, so if no one died in a tornadoe, that's Ok, because we can't change our earth, but we can make sure no one died.

Sperm Bank

Sperm Bank
I read about the Sperm Bank and the donors whose in this bank. I just find out about how about this bank and how it works. A lot of things tell about some of women’s thinking. They hope to save sperm and the science and technology in it makes sure this is safe for women.
Why we have these banks, this web site tells us, is because of four reasons: First, Sterility of their partner by vasectomy or other surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Second is Genetic reasons (i.e both partners are cystic fibrosis carriers). Third is a single woman. And the other is same sex couples. Because a lot of women want to have baby, but without a partner. They often think they can’t find a nice partner, if she has no good guy she will be worried about her future so maybe she will a choose the sperm bank to let her continue with he life. So they need this kind of bank and if they are gay they need a baby so they just have this way that they can babies.
