And now it’s time for Manic Mystery Monday so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:
Question: In the movie Avatar, what mineral are humans mining on Pandora?
Answer: Unobtanium.
Class:
Note: Unobtanium mining on Pandora,, involves extracting a rare, room-temperature superconductor mineral vital for Earth's energy needs. This causes conflict with the indigenous Na'vi and disrupts the delicate ecosystems due to its powerful magnetic properties, creating floating mountains. The mineral's extreme value ($20 million/kg) fuels the human’s destruction of the planet.
Have a marvelous Monday everybody!

It’s Hump Day and we now have the inspirational quote of the week to get you over the hump from James Clear:
"One of the great mistakes in life is suffering for years because you didn't want to feel foolish for five minutes... You don't want to apologize, so you let a relationship deteriorate".
Take care of your friendships, friends. We all mess up. The important thing is to say sorry, mean it and do better next time around.
Have a wonderful Wednesday everybody! We’re halfway there so let’s make the rest of this week really count!
