Current Event-3

The article is about Polar bears not eating food for 5 month, it says that they are killing their own kind for food. Each and every day, they lose about 1.5 kg. The significance of this is to tell us that Global Warming problem is inevitable, we must do something about this. I can detect bias in this article because it is telling that if scientists and all of mankind around the world don't do something. We will push ourselves into a very tight corner.

Reflection-Energy Bar Prototype

What Worked?
I think the Dried Bananas, Dried Cranberries, Oat Meal, and Peanuts worked.

What Didn't Work?
The Melted Chocolate didn't worked as planned because it sort of turned softer, but it become sticky. So it didn't made the Oat Meal stick together as a chunk.

How will your recipe change to make it work?
I think we will find a type of chocolate that will turn into a syrup instead of some sticky chunk of chocolate.

How did your group work together? Or how did your group not work together?
I think we worked pretty well together because when we were actually making the bar, my group member helped me with things like getting stuff and all. But just one person didn't work as well, because I think I forgot to assign a job for her to do.

Current Event-2

The article is about American citizens using votes to disapprove Bush. Its significance is that Bush has done many bad things like the Iraq war, people hated him. People wanted a change in their government, so the citizens decided to vote for Obama. I detect a lot of bias in this article, because people are hating Bush, which means that this article is talking about how much people dislike Bush.

Spanish- Reflection Uno

We like the way the class go, it's very different from what we have last year. But I like it, since we don't just sit there and learn all the grammar and vocabs in the old style. I like the way of we as a group write songs to learn. It's pretty good I think, we can try different activity to make it more interesting and stuff.

Advance Art: Desktop Practices

Here are some of the desktop I designed for others and myself. Feel free to send me an email to make a desktop of your own for free. :D

2nd's will be charged...which is a kiss....XD..............Nah

Whats the "rule" for all living things?

I think every living things needs to reproduce to survive, so what reproduce mean?

Equation:

Male＋Female＝Different Mass....
Male loses some mass
Female loses some mass
We, makes a new life, a living thing. Unlike the car, that doesn't.

A Car is not a living thing, even if you think it reproduce it self. The mass won't change, they just get some mechanical parts mixed up and stuff

Car A+Car B=Same Mass
The car stays the same, yes. The mass is different, but this doesn't mean they reproduced. They didn't create another living thing.

Another one I think living thing must have is proteins and DNA, because without these. There won't be any difference being a chunck of metal ( Car I mean). Like the car, it doesn't live off proteins and such. It's all identical to each other, there is no difference to each other. Since they were manfactured, there will be a fraud in it, but still humans can fix it.

String Theory

It's interesting because we are like a sting, and there are super large amount of strings in the universe. So if we are just a small piece, what are the other unknow pieces of string. Also if the strings make up all of the stuff. What can it make? What kind of things are the stuff that we don't know yet? This is very interesting to me.....XD...I think we should worry about environmental issues now and later is the string theory..but I like it...

How Does "The Giver" End......-Spoiler Alert-

In Language Art class, we read a novel called "The Giver", it's a book about a scoiety that is different from the outside world. In this book, it started with a jet plane going to the ristricted air space. After that the government announced that the pilot will be released a guy named Jonas go through many things through out his life. He started as a 11 years old that does volunterr work for the people, he didn't know about things like feeling. Then the days goes really normal as the story continues, but until one day. They raise the ceremony of twelve, which is the job distribution. The elder gives the kids different jobs depending on the way the children act before the ceremony of twelve. Jonas had a special job, he could lie to people. This was very unique and ockward in a way. Then the elder led Jonas to a place where "the giver" lives. The giver shared his memories with Jonas, the first memory Jonas recieved was Snow. As the story continues, he finds out that his father kills kids and he could lie. Also he understand the word "release" in this community was death....When the story ends, Jonas decided to leave the community.

I thinking the ending is that he died because as sled was waiting for him. because it was the first memories that he had, so it must be that he died. Also no sled would just move around it self. Plus if the citizens come out the border, they die....So it must be that he died.

Reflections On Dr. Ramachandran's TED Talk

Basically, in this TED Talk, he talked about the parts of the brain. Like what happens if you had problem in certain areas . First of all he started talking about brain rejecting that you see your mom but your brain refuse to admit. That was because you had sexual urges toward your mom, so your brain deny the truth. After that he talk about phantom arm or leg. It basically means that you feel the pain even the arm was amputated, he had few patient that felt the pain and the patient said if the arm cluches, it won't hurt. But if the arm don't move...they feel the pain. So Ramachandran did a test, which he makes the patient close his eyes and then the patient felt the pain. But when he opens his eyes he tells that it's moving and it doesn't hurt at all. So basically he is a guy that is smart in brain knoledge.

Science Engagments-1

2 For my community comtributor...Because I helped people in Graphics class most of the time becuase all the new people don't understand how to use the program, but still I let them learn on their own sometimes. Also I started today trying not to speak Chinese, I sometimes by accident leak out a chinese word. I remind all the SRC member not to speak foregin language, in school campus.

1.5 Point for my critical think/problem solver...Because I need to ask people about the question i don't understand, and I don't use my brain. But I still help some people with computer problem, small problems.

1 for my active learner....Because I sometime don't speak at all when people are having a discussion with the class. But if i'm interested in the topic, I will speak.

1 for my person of high character...Because I sometimes don't pay attention to what teachers are saying and wandering around. But most of the time I listen to what teacher is saying, but if its boring....I don't...XD

2 Points for my effective communicator...Because I now I tried to get the message through the classmates when I'm having a presentation in L.A. or any other subject. for example today I gave a really good point that I saw in Discovery channel without confusing them.

What About Science

This is the General Speaking......XD

We are doing some science works in H.I.S. We now is offically studying physics, so far we've studied about velocity, accelration, and position. Still the most interesting thing in learning physics is that we get to stud about 1 dimension and 2 dimension problems. For example we use some equations to find out about when does the ball land if it starts at 15m and fall with xxx speed. Basically, it's just fun to learn about...XD
