What happened to Jaguar Paw ?

  We watched a movie call Apocalypto in class, at the end Spanish came in, and Jaguar Paw, his wife and two kids walked in to forest.

  

I think after they walked in to forest, they will start to make his group back, and then try to walk far away to spanish, and don't let mayan people and spanish catch them. So maybe 10 years after, Jaguar Paw's two son be a man, and take lots of wife, and his group will be powerful after 1 century. Then they can bite mayan people and Spanish. Then they start to use guns or something are very technology to capture other country and make Aztec civilization bigger and bigger.

 200 years after, Aztec civilization is the biggest country in the world, they control all Europe and have 639403924 of people in Aztec, and all the people have to prostrate Jaguar Paw everyday, that's the religion in Europe.

But in AC 1800 there is a country call Taiwan, they throw two atom bombs in Europe, and all the Aztec people all sick and die.

Mayan Technology vs. Mesopotamia civilization

similar -

Both of civilization had closer geography, and they both had a king to control commoner, so commoner will not rebellion.

different - Although both of civilization had king, but there rules had kind of different, like Mayans king = priests, and only priest were allowed inside of the temples.

News of Obama

President Barack Obama, soon after his inauguration Tuesday, sought a delay in tribunals for inmates at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to allow a review of the process.

Military prosecutors asked the court to order "a continuance in the proceedings" to May 20, The Washington Post reported. The motion was made in the case of five men charged with masterminding the Sept 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Prosecutors made the same motion in the proceedings against a young Canadian. That case was scheduled to resume Wednesday.

The military tribunal procedure was created by the Bush administration to deal with what official said was an unprecedented situation. But the tribunals have been subjected to long delays and revisions in legal proceedings going up to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The new administration could opt to try the remaining defendants as criminals in U.S. court or in military courts-martial as war criminals. 

I think Obama is a good president and his decision is great, because he is trying to lessen prejudice by making all criminals are treated the same in the same courts. I think this plan will work.

smash Day!!!! (Jan 4)

Today is smash day, we played marble and tried to made highest score, and the prize is two free answer on next test. 

I think I'm active learner because I learn some of knowledge in this game, like the angle of incidence equal the angle of reflection, and we also played a lot, so thats why I think I'm active learner.

I also think I'm a critical thinker and problem solver because in our group we think lots of idea to make the highest score, and we have lots of discussion, although in the end we didn't win the game, it still very fun. 

current event

Faced with a global financial downturn, this article is about shopping coupons, because our government want to excite economy, so they want to give 3600NT for every man, woman, and child, but Wall Street think this is a harebrained scheme, this is the article they write : President Ma Ying-jeou's popularity ratings are in the low 20s, and perhaps he hopes this will distract voters from the fact that so far on his watch, GDP growth is contracting and the stock market is down by over 50%. The Taiwan government predicts the voucher will boost GDP by some 0.64% next year, but color us skeptical. Wavering consumers are more likely to spend the coupon on things they'd buy anyway and save the "spare" money.

I think global financial downturn is very serious, so however Ma Ying-jeou or Chen Shui-bian or any president in other country can't avoid this event.

An article

Please read a news article relating to Humanities. And answer the following questions :

1)What is the news article about?

2)What is he significance of the article?

3)Is there any bias (opinion) in the article?

This web side is the pictures  about Obama watches election results with his family in Chicago, and he claims victory in front of a crowd of 240000 people at Grant Park.

I think those pictures are very good, and the most important is success is not permanent. The same is also true of failure's mind.
