Christianity (Humanity)

Basically The Christianity religion is the biggest religion all around the world.
I am going to talk about the histories of Christianity.
"Christianity started out in Palestine as a fellowship; it moved to Greece and became a philosophy; it moved to Italy and became an institution; it moved to Europe and became a culture; it came to America and became an enterprise like a big company, and a big community."
There are twenty thousand(20000) religions sect, which Christianity has. Among the 20000 religions there are several representative religions. It's Orthodox Catholic Church, Roman Catholic Church, Catholic Church, Reformed Church, Coptic Church, and Reforming Catholic Church. What do you feel about this ? The Christianity is a really big religion !! It contains 20000 religions total all over the world. And among 20000 religions it has a Christian !! Christian contains almost 60% of Europe whole continent.
Based on these ideas, you can easily know that the Christianity is the biggest religion in the world, and 20000 religions are involved in Christianity !! IT'S AMAZING !!

Five learning outcomes (Advisory)

There are five learning outcomes.
Active learner, effective communicator, critical thinker & problem solver, community contributor, and person of high character.
I am going to write definitions of each student learning outcomes.
Active learner: An active learner is when students ask questions to teachers, do their homework well, and do extra work for any projects that teacher gave. Ex) I was being an active communicator in Ms. Kao's class. Our homework was to write a blog post about the Taiwan food culture. I finished it, and I also did the food culture of Korea, so that we could compare both countries food culture.

Effective communicator: An effective communicator is when people communicate each other, they show their respect to audiences. Such as eye-contact, listen carefully, and speak loud.
Ex) I was being an effective communicator when I was talking to Juegan, I always showed respect to Juegan when we met first in school. Therefore we are the best friend in our school now.

Community contributor: A community contributor is when students sacrifize themselves to other people or help out other people.
Ex) I was being a community contributor to new students in math class at the beginning of the school year. In math class only old students have learend about GSP, so the new students don't know how to use GSP, so I helped new students to set things in GSP.

Critical thinker & problem solver: A critical thinker & problem solver is when students consider things deep and solve the questions. Also when there are any kind of emergencies they have to solve the problem.
Ex) In Taiwan culture class, I had to make my own scedules for a project. Therefore I used a critical thinker to organize my own scedule, and so does problem solver.

Person of high character: A person of high character is when students respect teachers. Such as nice movement, being polite.... etc
Ex) I was being a person of high character to Mr. Carpenter. I always greeted him nicely. Whenever he talks I stopped doing my work and listened what Mr. Carpenter said.

These are examples and definitions of five learning outcomes.

Taiwan SS blog (movie)

I am going to write about three food through the video with a fat guy.
First of all is a chicken butt. Chicken butt is made of chicken's butt. It seems really disgusting that the food is made of butt of chickens, but the taste is really good. Also after we roast the chicken butt, then it looks really good. Therefore anyone like Taiwanese and foreigners any people from the world would feel delicious with the chicken butt.
Second of all is roasted shrimp. This food is made of shrimp. They roast shrimp. It looks really good and taste would be great. Also it would be good if we eat them with wines, it would be awesome. It's a seafood, so it's way better and better quality of food than junk foods.
Lastly the food is "stink tofu". It's really stinky and smells like crap. If people from outside of Taiwan try to eat stinky tofu, they will be shocking. It really stinks. However for Taiwanese, it's a traditional food, and it's a really great taste for them. Even though it's stinky and taste bad, for Taiwanese, it's the best food ever in their history of food.

Scotland lives (Hum)

By the time 12 centuries, living in Scotland was the most horrible thing. People were easily got gun shot on their bodies. There were many criminals, some people even shouted a women just for 3 dollars. They raped anyone in a street. All the workers and other people fought with English for a freedom. Most people in Scotland treated as a slave to an English people.
Also throgh the movie, we can easily know that the nobles had a lot of powers. However poorer people were always fighting against a lack of "freedom".
Let me go deeper how terrible was the society of Scotland.
There weren't even water to wash their hand, except for nobles every Scottish wore clothes that are suck. Don't even imagin if they could have wear cloth to be a nice looking.
Most people had long hairs, because they did not even have time to cut it.
Although the society of 12 centuries in Scotland was totally terrible. However if you were a noble, your lives would be so good. However it's a fairness,,,,

Hums (fall of the roman empire)

The last king of the west Roman empire was Romulus Augusts.

The last western Roman empire deposed by Odoacer. Which is Italy's king.

Odoacer invaded west Roman empire, and Roman empire had gone in 476.
After Odoacer succeeded invade the Roman empire, he did not put a king that is like scarecrow.
They regented with the Vigantium empire. Therefore they put their own king, and grow the
west roman empire themselves.
However Vigantium empire and Odoacer did not really have a good relationship.
Therefore Vigantium invaded Odoacer, and finally in 489, Odoacer got killed by "Teodoric"
Another reason why did the roman empire falled was that the life in the time was like soilders
voted a king, and when soilders think that the king does not really work well and the king should be kicked out of the place. Therefore there were a lot of agreement and disagreement of many thing, and king could not do anything for the situations. For that reason Commerce and industry started to fall. Also there were a lot of feudalisms, like nobles could have gained a lot of money and they wasted a lot of money, but for poor farmers, they were all hungry and hard to live. Therefore all the lives were messed up in the time. Also there were a lot of farmer slaves, and they were always complaining. Finally they created a group and tried to fight with government.
After all, there was a big change. Religion !!
After the fall of the Roman empire, the new religion came out it's a Roman catholic church.
Another religion "Protestant" came out, and the both religion fought with certain rules of their own religon. Also that rules goes to daily lives like political things and stuff. Therefore there were a lot of religion fights after the fall of the Roman empire.

Personally, I agree that the Roman empire should fall, because there were a lot of confusing things in the time. Also if the Roman empire did not fall, nowadays might be like all communist countries. !!

Science nitrogen passport

1. Why didn't everybody go to the same stations in the same order ?
The dies control where to go for everybody. However we can't predict what number is die going to take. Therefore everyone was having a different section. Except for some of us that had same results of dies.

2. Did you go to the same station twice? If so, what does this tell us about cycles?
Yes, I think cycle connects to everything. If you were in Animal's waste(poop), you throw a die, and whatever number you take you have to go, and in the next station, you will have to throw a die again, and it might include the animal's waste again. Therefore I think cycle connects to every stations .

3. Was there one station that seemed to have a lot of people at it? Why or why not ?
Yes, I think it's because, many stations include one station. Therefore for percentage, people are going to be in the station. EX) You are in a animal waste station, you throw a die, and you go to ocean and there is again choice for to go to animal waste station, you throw a die and fortunately, you go to soil, and there is also choice for to go back animal waste. Every stations include animal waste, and many people are going to be in the animal waste station.

4. What do you think the point of this activity was ?
I think the point of this activity was mainly to learn about nitrogen. Also I think if we know this for our daily knowledge, it's going to be helpful for emergency situations.
Another thing is to learn about how the nitrogen works for our body and for other things. What does nitrogen causes ? DNA? amino acids ? ... etc ..
Through this activity, I could learn a lot about nitrogen.

About the Feudalism (Hum)

Basically, feudalism means "someone who has more power and higher level of people" takes all the profits more than poor guys. The medieval society was just caring about the level of people, and also there was a lot of racisms. We can take an example of women's lives. In the medieval times, women recognized as a stuff. They could not even have jobs, and go to stadium to see some games. However for men, they could've do anything to women, they even could have more than 2 wives. How terrible is it, they were just having a racism, because of it's a different gender. What do you feel through this example, I assume that people in medieval time certanly could do the racism by different levels compare to the racism of different gender.
Here are some feudalism society situations.
Peasant farmer is the second lowest role in the medieval time.(the lowest one is slaves)
Mostly, peasnat farmers are all poor. Therefore they had to lent some lands to fertilize foods, and the someone who borrow the lands to peasnat farmers are mostly nobles. They made certain rules between them. Peasant farmer should give 50 or whatever amount of foods and profits to owner of the lands for borrowing fee. Therefore for nobles even if they don't work, if they lant all of their lands to peasant farmers, they will automatically earn money fast. However for peasant farmer, they have to give their profits to nobles(owner of lands), so they don't really earn money. By comparison, today if someone has no land, government would have provide some lands for them, but government did not provide things to poor guys. Through this, we can tell that they were having some problems and troubles with government and kingdoms.

Isolating the SMASH Variable.

Benjamin butto TED talk
Before the movie call "The curious case of the benjamin button", I did not know how did they make the old man's face gets younger and younger over times. Now I know the thing behind.
Movie maker used a scientific method to make benjamin button's face and some variable shapes of body. The main character Brad Pete (Benjamin) acted from an old man to a young man.
How did he acted like that ?? What's the behind story ?
First of all they took aspect of Brad Pete, He made different emotions of the face, and they took the picture. Next they have to do something that are required, such as lighting, put the body shape of Brad Pete, and used a computer graphic. Next put the shapes into an old man's face. As the old man grows, the body shapes and everything changed, and Brad Pete should follow every single steps.
These are how the curious case of the benjamin button created.
