The last two classes we did a lot about the Renaissance. Even Though I didn’t learn much, but I somehow receive some information about it. Form all the annoy stump cards and blunder cards, I knew that thermometer has been invented since the 1400s by Galileo, but not the one that you can put inside your mouth. Florin worth about six pounds of silver, but it doesn’t worth anything today. Aspirin is invented very lately after the 1700s. The last thing I learn is that researching is hard. The unlucky group always get unlucky assignments.

What new information has emerged

In Saturday, a plane fly from Nairobi to Cameroon had crashed at the north of Niete. According to the Kenya Airways CEO Titus Naikuni, he said that” The last message was received in Douala after takeoff and thereafter the tower was unable to contact the plane”Investigators think that it is because of a faulty alarm error for that crash, which killed 169 people.

What do I find interesting about this topic

This topic has a lot of things to find out. Like how many people died, why it crashed and where it crashed. The part where I find out answers is what interested me. And besides, I do know some of the answers, like169 people are killed and it crashed in somewhere near Douala.

What do I like about the initial posting

His article is well-organized, so when I read it, I can see what I am looking for straight away. The color of the background and words looks good. The pictures are clear and related to the topic.The most important is that his writing doesn’t sound like a bible. When I read it, I feel like keep reading it.

Yes, there are. Only if the thing affects their entire life. In the world, if people has to give up their family, it will probably be hard for them. Family takes a long time to form, and it contains all of their hard work to create this. If someday they have to give up there family, they will fight for it. What they are fighting for is not for their family members, but for the hard work they have made. Who in the world would ever want to give up their hard work? Even if there work is not worth it.

Anyway, there are also some people who didn’t care about it much. People who experience pain will able to give up what they need to and still have their lives. Since these type of people experienced grief, they are able to think in an optimistic way. we should learn to think openly, so you won’t need to give up your life just for some stupid reasons which won’t affect you much.

     From the nine clues that we have, we somehow can tell that middle Ages are very loyal and faithful about their religion. In England, churches and monasteries filled almost every city in England, which is probably trying to increase the population of monks. In a city, they build the churches in the center of a city, which show the importance of religion.

     The most important man in Christianity is Jesus. A lot of Christians wanted to visit him. Loads of people went on a trip called pilgrimage. However, the transportation at that time is mainly horse and feet, which makes the trip a lot harder then now. For this trip, people had to give up their health, money, land etc, just to get a closer look of Jesus.

     In a monastery, monks are everywhere. Monks spend their entire life in the monastery just for their religion. Everyday, they woke up at one. And After they were awake, they started to read bibles, pray and do things which flavor the god. They also have to copy the bibles for certain reasons, which make all monks they most clever people in the country.

     In a city, people had to give 1/10 of their year salary to the church. They thought that if they make the religion looks good, then they go to heaven after they died. Even thought it is just a belief. From all these clues above, I can tell that gods are controling their whole life. People are very dependent on religion. Religions are probably the most important thing in their life.

Today, we learn about the middle ages. It is about AIDs which spread among the country and how they react. In countries like India, China, and Russia, all these countries use boats to trade goods throughout the Middle ages.

What causes AIDs to spread among the country

At the last paragraph, we talk about that they use boats to trade. anyway, there boats are very dirty that it carrys all these rats and germs without even realizing it. These rats has a type of virus called AIDs. All these rats ran around the country when the boat arrived at its destination. These rats carries AID viruses nd spread throughout the countries and causes a lot of poeple to be involved.

What do they first think about this issue

At that time the microorganisms is not recognize by people. The first thing that they think about this desease is that the gods are punishing them. In order to flavor the god, they do a lot of action that they thought will lower down their punishments. However, all those things weren’t really helping. If they wanted to stop this issue, then they should find the organisms which carry this desease and spread to them, rather than try doing things that came out from imaginations.

How did they deal with it

As I said above, they do things that will decrease their punishments. The thing they do is to kill all the people who got AIDs because they thought that they were the people who do bad things. After this massive killings, the whole country lost 1/3 of its population, and the problem is still there because they didn’t kill the rats.

Deputy health minister arrested in U.S.-Iraqi raid

<http://www.exportid.com/members/1103530024.jpg>.

What is the issue

The deputy health minister, Hakem Abbas al-Zamili was arrested because he was suspected of being a central figure in alleged corruption and Mehdi Army infiltration of the ministry, according to the U.S. military statement. The statement accused this ministry official by doing several kickback schemes just to funnel money to the militia and militia members.        He was also suspected that he is implicated in the death of several ministries. According to the
U.S. military statement, he threatened many members of the ministries who were against his opinion.        Al-Shammari, the health minister, who criticize the way they seize the deputy. He said that it will make the whole ministry be embarrassed, also, he should know that he will be coorperate.

Who is involved

1. Deputy health minister Al-Zamili (the main person in this article)

2. Health minister Al-Shammari (helping Al-Zamili)

3. People work in the ministry

4. Reporters from U.S. and
   Iraq (to get the news)

5. Me (person who read this article)

Who is affected and how

• Al-Zamili, he needs to deal with his guilt.
• U.S. military statement, tried to get Al-Zamili into jail so they can earn money.
• Al-Shammari, who defend for him

What would you do if you were directly involved

What is the best solution

If today I am Al-Zamili, first, I will ask the military statement what corruption did I do? Also, before I enter the court room, I will try to be friend with the judge. If I do need to go to the jail, then I will ask my lawyers to find proves which will help me leave as soon a possible.

Think about the future and the way peoples lives will be impacted

In the future, if everyone find out that Al-Zamili is innocent, then the whole military will be accuse. Al-Zamili will use the slander to accuse them. Also, he will have more dignity.

In the future, if everyone agree that Al-Zamili is guilty, then the whole military will be popular even they are just lying, and they will be even more powerful than usual.

Issue:

Tons of people are infected by HIV, which develops AIDS,but all these people has no cure at all! Most of the time, women, is the one who gets AID the most, because they have relationships with other men who have HIV in an abusive way.

People involve:

People in South Africa, Kenya, Thailand, Latin, Uganda, Eastern Europe, organizations who care about this topic, UN AIDS, and all the doctor in the countries list above.

Who, where and how will it affect or effect
1. Countries: The Population in the world keeps on increasing. The density of the earth increase, so it gives viruses a nice little place to survive, another word, infect. Now in the world, it is a bit overpopulation, so the growth of viruses increase a lot faster. when too many people are infected, lots of countries involve.

2. Organizations who tried to stop HIV/AID: There job is to stop the spreading of this disease, so they will be involve. Now, what they are thinking is that if a person died because of AID, it is fine, but how are we going to stop from more people to be like him/her, that is the point for making this organization.

3. women: Infected by others, so they are involved.

4. man: Infected by others, so they are involved.

5. UN AIDS:They are one of the organizations which tries to stopHIV/AID, so they are involved.

What will be my action if I am involved

Before you are getting affected, you should PREVENT it. You should do things like clean your room, get away with people who might have have AID and do other helpful actions. A very hard question will be ask. “How do I know who has HIV with them”. This question is very hard to answer, but from there action, you can somehow tell that they have been infected, like when they scratch their anus a lot, when they looks tired all the time, or when their eyes turn red.

What is you are infected? A lot of people will think that Oh, I am in trouble, my life is ruined or some strange thinking. Stop thinking it and do actions. First, tell everyone that you get AID and go to the doctor straight away. Sometimes miracles could happen like these two children, they get HIV for a long time. Now ten years pass and finally miracles happens on them. If you really get a miracle, then you are the luckiest person in this unfortunate situation. If no miracles occur, then your life is basically ruined.

Today, we learn about Ancient Romans. It is about gladiators. In another word, slaves. In the next few paragraphs, you will understand where did they come from and what are there lives looks like.

Where did they come from

They mostly come from a battle between two countries. When two countries had a fight, the winner country will take away all the loser country’s citizen and name them gladiators. Once they enter the owner’s territory, there will be no exits.

Where did they usually go

Usually, they go to the training center which the country use for battles. There are different types of training depend on your luck. Some of them can be super terrible like how to fight against a troop of army, and some of them can be super easy like cleaning the bow for other slaves.

What are there food

They eat something called ashes and left overs. In a war, lots of trashes will be made. What they do is they take all these trashes and feed the slaves. The country said that all these left overs are very nutritious, it can provide them a lot of energy. But, it sounds just like a lie which nobody believes.

When you are eating the ashes, close your eyes and just swallow it, so you won’t feel hungry and taste nasty.

“Eat or be eaten”theory

In all of the slaves. the clever ones are able to think fast, do fast, and think critically. All these people will”eat”, which means that they will have a lot of power in there life. For the people who think slowly and delay things all the time, they will “Be eaten”, which means that they will be abuse by other people in their entire life.
