I'm learning more about Copenhagen conferences right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is :''Why is the Copenhagen conferences so important? i was researching this question online,and this blog post caught my attention because the title of the blog is Obama's remake at the unit nation climate change conference,and i saw why this conference is important, because the people that join the conference is all the leadership of their country around the word. "Climate change will pose unacceptable risks to our security, our economies, and our planet. Climate change poses a grave and growing danger to our people" The quote i chose here is basically saying that the climate change is danger to the people. The climate change also will damage our security,our economies,and our planet. I think this is best because the conference it makes me wonder that the leadership of the world know the problem of this,so they just have a conference about the climate change,so they try to solve the climate problem,because it can be damage the world, so they try to decrease the pollution of the world ,some of their country cut the greenhouse gas emission, some of them cut the emission intensity. they do so hard to cut this,so i think it should have more conference like this, then they can make the world more better.

ScienceDirect - Cognition : Unconscious modulation of the conscious experience of volun... - 0 views

In this journal article, freewill and control are being the objects of an experiment. I found this very interesting because it proposes another perspective for looking at voluntary control. It also provides an objective hypothesis attempting to explain freewill physiologically and the underlying mechanics of such a conscious experience. "The conscious experience of free will is a central feature of human self-perception. We usually feel that our conscious intentions cause our actions, which in turn produce desired effects in the world. Although the subjective feeling of control is an essential aspect of our self-conceptualisation as intentional agents, the mechanisms underlying this experience are not well understood (e.g., [Haggard et al., 2002], [Jeannerod, 2003], Lau et al., 2004 H.C. Lau, R.D. Rogers, P. Haggard and R.E. Passingham, Attention to intention, Science 303 (2004), pp. 1208-1210. Full Text via CrossRef | View Record in Scopus | Cited By in Scopus (100)[Lau et al., 2004], [Sebanz and Prinz, 2006] and [Sirigu et al., 2004]). Here, we argue that the conscious feeling of voluntary control is closely tied to our ability to represent future effects of our actions." This segment is the introduction of a long experiment. I found fascinating that what we call control can be just a representation of cognitive anticipation of future events. I am now digesting this article slowly, so for the time being, I am not able to provide a better explanation for I have not yet understood completely where does the conclusion comes from or how was the hypothesis made

what i noticed about main street pimp was that this is the men that i always saw on main street and he was always around and i always see him when ever i get off i might get afraid of him sometimes because yes i do though that he was crazy however after i watch this i felt that in some ways we are connoted to him because we grow up around him. in flushing where i live for 3 years. when the pod caster said the rumor that he was dead i was thinking that. that must be a lie i mean how can someone so close to me and always there went away i think this is a great podcast because i always wonder what happend to him and i just found out what happend i think that they should give something to remind everyone in flushing about flushing pimp. another part that i thought that was great was when they were talking about him and his sister how his sister was his guardian angel and always helping him this stood out because she really was there when he needed help and is great to see family relations and i get to see the main street pimp thanks to her. i do like this pod cast because i saw this at home that's how intersecting i though i was i don't even have to see it in class one reason i say this is a intersecting and great podcast because is what i grow up around for about 3 years and i though that it was amazing and great. i Love this podcast greatly since he's been around me. in conclusion this pod cast was great and thanks to Helen Andrea and Rayon i get to know more about this men that was always around me thanks to them i get to know what happend to him lets hope i get to See More intersecting podcast like this one.

What I noticed about," Radio Rookies" is that it's very creative. I like the way Helen Peng, Andrea Lee Torres, Melissa Best and Alexis Gordon did this presentation. I like the way they made it fun and in the same time they made it very interesting. I really like the way they described the Steam Buns. I was very surprised the way they try to make it also. I like the way they made it though. It end it up coming the same way they make it in Main Street. And even though they may not be healthy, I mean lets face it it's really good. When Alexis said: "that it was very fun and easy doing this Steam Buns things" I really like the motivation because it shows how positive they were. I think that when they started talking about the guy in Main Street who was known as the Pimp. I was very surprised because I didn't know he died. Which was very surprising. I really like the way they worked as a team work and the way they understood their task. They all worked together and had a good presentation. I really like the way they all worked out perfectly. And the way they organize their ideas. To be honest it was a good job.

What I noticed most about, "Steam Buns R Us" was that the steam buns, a Chinese food, represent the culture on Main Street in Flushing, New York. Main Street in Flushing, New York was famous for its Asian culture and thus the steam bun is a good choice of the symbol of Main Street. When Hawa said, "Main Street in Flushing is very crowded, noisy, and sometimes smelly." I was thinking, "is Main Street really that bad?" I think this is actually true after I have thought it over. As a resident in Flushing myself, I also feel Main Street is really crowded and noisy, and sometimes I couldn't even find a free space to sit when I went into a restaurant. Another sentence that stayed in my mind was, "steam buns come in all shapes, all sizes, and all different content too just like people." This stood out for me because comparing food to people actually made me laugh. But more importantly, it really reflect the culture of Main Street in Flushing. I agree with what Mr. Chow said. Flushing has lots of immigrants, especially Asians, and while walking on the Main Street, you can easily see tons and tons of people coming from everywhere in the world, just as steam buns have different sizes, shapes, and contents. Also, steam buns are easily found on Main Street here, yet it may not be found in any other places in the U.S. Therefore, it really shows the feature of Main Street in NYC. I really appreciated the people who worked so hard on this video. Thank you so much for introducing Main Street and bringing so much fun.

What I noticed about Steam Buns "R" Us http://www.mappingmainstreet.org/#route=8818_6367_1&city=8818&image=6367&nav=pathview was really great. It's shows the crowned Main Street in Flushing, NY. When the podcaster said,"Everyday after 1:30 when school ends, we are in the fighting of where to eat." I was thinking where are they really want to go eat. Because there are all different kinds of restaurants around Flushing, and there are 3 different places to eat steam buns. However, they smartly choose the worst one to eat. Another part that I love was:"The food outside is dirty and has no nutrition, so we decided to make steam buns in home." This stood out for me because the food on main street is really dirty especially the food sold in AA Plaza. I do agree that like they said, restaurants are everywhere in flushing and they always bother for where to go. One reason that I say this is because asian's special part is that you always have a lot of choice to choose. Another reason I agree with you is because food in flushing are really good and cheap. There are many people waiting at all different restaurants every single day. The Steam Buns somewhat shows the cultrue of flushing people. Asian food, asian restaurant, asian people, asian culture, flushing is a place that full of asian.

What I noticed most about " Steam Buns 'R' Us" http://www.mappingmainstreet.org/#/route=8818_6367_1&city=8818&image=6367&nav=pathview was steam buns are delicious. There are tons of stream buns everywhere in Flushing Main Street of New York. When Melissa said," But we go there for the food." I was thinking that there are so many Asian food in Flushing. I am living in Flushing so I know well that there are tons of food in Flushing. I think this is great because whenever I feel hungry, I can always get food from Main Street. Another part that I agree was" what is inside of the steam bun?" I was thinking of the samething because I love to eat steam buns but I never think is the steam bun really clean? I strongly agree that homemade steam bun is better than we buy outside. We know that what is inside and we can eat them without worrying about anything. Everything that is homemade is always cleaner than the food outside because we can't see how the food is done in outside. I want to hear more about the food from Flushing Main Street.

A couple of our classmates created a podcast called "Steam Buns 'R' Us." I really enjoyed watching it and I got so hungry too! I was also surprised at the fact their final product looked so professional. I found it interesting that they picked out steam buns as part of the different cultures that are present on Main Street. I could see that they had fun while working on it which I was glad to see. Now I wish that i was part of it! When Melissa said, "It's funny how they compare steam buns to people because we found out on google that steam buns are shaped as human heads." I thought this was really linteresting. I never made the connection between steam buns and human heads, but now that I picture it, it kind of makes sense too. Steam buns are each shaped differently , and the inside contents also vary from one culture to another. Another part that I liked was when Hawa said, "it's like four mini ones for a dollar. So it's really cheap and won't empty our wallets." I strongly agree with this quote because steam buns taste good, but that doesnt mean they have to be expensive like some other types of asian cuisine. As I'm currently doing an inquiry question of how to save money, this line obviously caught my attention. I was glad to know that steam buns are actually healthier than most fast foods people seem to be so crazed about. I also agree that steam buns sort of represent the population of Main Street, and that people from many different cultures would find it easy to enjoy them. I thank Melissa, Hawa, and Alexis for posting such an interesting podcast. I really hope to see some more from you guys!

What I noticed most about "Searching for the Main Street Pimp" (http://www.mappingmainstreet.org/#route=8818_6367_1&city=8818&image=6365&nav=pathview) was that it was a story filled with heartbreak and joy. I never would of thought that the main street pimp had passed away. I remember passing by him all the time after school when i would either go home to take the bus or to hang around Flushing. I remember the first time when I met him, he was wearing an interesting outfit that reminded me of a pimp. I tried to take a picture of him with my phone but I didn't want to seem obvious so I was trying to be sneaky. However he got me and instead of getting questioned which i feared He smiled and yelled "Hey! You ain't getting my good side yo!" He posed for a couple of pics and then off he went to go do whatever he needed to do. When Helen, Rayon and Andrea went searching for the main street pimp i was anxious to see what they would uncover. Getting the main street pimp into my head got me thinking so much on where he had been. It really was boggling my mind. However of course, the end of the podcast gave everyone the answer that to me was unexpected. The Main Street Pimp had passed away about a year ago. Another part that I was shocked to hear was the sickness and conditions he had. Besides the fact of being very ill and having physical problems, he was also a schizophrenic. That was very hard to take in. I never would of guessed that. He seemed so happy and so fun. Never would i expected a man like him to have gone through so much. I thank the podcasters Helen, Rayon and Andrea for bringing this story to us and I look forward to their next stories on radio rookies.

Mapping Main Street, a collaborative program from WNYC Radio, contains many stories told from a personal viewpoint. Two of these stories involving Main Street in Flushing, Queens NY involves several of my classmates. I think that they are splendid Radio Rookies for they make a story that is both hilarious and informative. These personal connections to Main Street, which is familiar to anyone in the East West School of International Studies, enriches our own experiences in this particular place. Everyday, I have contact with Main Street but never thought of anything interesting from it. One of the things that my classmates mentioned in this podcast that I found very interesting is "steam bums are shaped like human heads." I found this to be funny and interesting because I have eaten so many of this stuff but never thought that it have any resemblance with the human head. Furthermore, Alexis, Melissa, and Hawa went on to discuss the healthiness of eating steam buns in comparison to other popular food. The narrative was indeed well mixed with a sarcastic approach and give taste to a topic that would be otherwise boring. They also investigated about something I had never heard before: The Flushing Pimp. It was very shocking when Dominique screamed "Disgusting!" in the middle of the podcast because I was expecting a nicer response. The Flushing Pimp podcast was at the beginning very funny with all the suspense build into it, but later became somewhat melodramatic when the story revealed schizophrenic basis. It is very sad that a person is driven by severe personal problems to develop such a serious mental illness. I was very surprised in fact that this was the "real" story behind the mysterious Flushing Pimp. In summary, I really liked my classmates' podcast in Mapping Main Street.

What I noticed most about "Searching for Main Street's Flushing Pimp," was that he had schizophrenia. I knew that he had passed away but didnt know the cause. I thought he had been hit by a car or died of heart attack. It turns out that he had a brain tumor and that was what had killed him. When the podcaster said, "Emmanuel had schizophrenia," I was thinking, what is schizophrenia? I searched this online and I found out that it was a mental disorder in which he would not react normally to certain situations. I think this is sad because as I read on of schizophrenia, the website said that as the illness continues, the person starts to hallucinate and become delusional. Another part that stood out for me was when the Flushing Pimp's sister told the interviewers that Emmanuel (aka the Flushing Pimp) had a brain tumor and he didnt believe it and thought it was just a headache. This stood out for me because he refused to believe that he was terminal. Some people would think that the Flushing Pimp was crazy and not like him. If they just knew him or talked to him or knew his past, they would probably think differently of him. He doesnt seem like a bad guy. Thank you for the podcast. I didnt know how the Flushing Pimp died before I saw this podcast.

I knew that he had passed away but didnt know the cause. I thought he had been hit by a car or died of heart attack. It turns out that he had a brain tumor and that was what had killed him. When the podcaster said, "Emmanuel had schizophrenia," I was thinking, what is schizophrenia? I searched this online and I found out that it was a mental disorder in which he would not react normally to certain situations. I think this is sad because as I read on of schizophrenia, the website said that as the illness continues, the person starts to hallucinate and become delusional. Another part that stood out for me was when the Flushing Pimp's sister told the interviewers that Emmanuel (aka the Flushing Pimp) had a brain tumor and he didnt believe it and thought it was just a headache. This stood out for me because he refused to believe that he was terminal. Some people would think that the Flushing Pimp was crazy and not like him. If they just knew him or talked to him or knew his past, they would probably think differently of him. He doesnt seem like a bad guy. Thank you for the podcast. I didnt know how the Flushing Pimp died before I saw this podcast. </div>

What i noticed most about, "Searching for the Main Street Pimp" http://www.mappingmainstreet.org/#route=8818_6367_1&city=8818&image=6365&nav=pathview>," was after reading the title realizing that I haven't seen the main street pimp in a while. I would always see him walking around, but then i forgot about him. When the podcaster said,"We haven't seen him in about a year" I was wondering where he was and what he was doing. No one had seen him for a while, no one knew his whereabouts, so i thought that was weird. He might be dead i thought, or in another area. Another part that I heard was: "I don't like him, he's a pimp" This stood out for me because he wasn't really a pimp he just walked around with flashy clothes that does not meant that you are a pimp. I don't agreev that you should judge people by how they dress. One reason i say this is because they may dress/ act a certain way because of something that happened to them, just like the Main Street Pimp. People called him a pimp without knowing why he dressed that way. Thank you for working so hard to find out the whereabouts of the Main Street Pimp. It is sad to find out that he has passed away. I hope to hera more podcasts from you.

What I noticed most about, "Searching for Main Street's Flushing Pimp" was the complete change in tone from the beginning to the end. It was really amazing to listen to the reporters as they unraveled their little mystery, and how new details would change their opinions. I found it poignant, beautiful even. There was just something in the way they spoke of the "Flushing Pimp" that was so moving. When the podcaster said, "...as the conversaton, kept going on and on it felt like she really did care for him..." I was thinking about how much I agree with that statement. When I started hearing that care for her brother emanating from her voice it made me tear up just a little. I think this is wonderful because I like it when things can move me to tears. It shows that the work is deep, and really something worth watching, reading, etc. Another part that I struck by was when Emanuel's sister said: "But that Saturday he died." This stood out for me because it was so sudden. Not to mention, Emanuel thought he was completely fine, I had hopes, small ones, but, I had them. I completely agree that it's great that Emanuel lived how he wanted to. One reason I say this is that many people who saw him seemed to enjoy his presence. He brought a lot of people happiness and he seemed proud of it. Another reason I agree with you is because he wanted to leave the hospital and go through his regular routine. It made him happy, it made him feel right, I guess. And that is just the way a person should live, as himself. Thanks for the great post. I think this was enlightening and somewhat inspiring. You put a lot of effort into this, and it shows. It was a joy to listen, I hope you'll make more.

What I noticed most about "Searching for Main Street's Flushing Pimp" was that I've always seen that guy for the 7 years that I've been leaving in flushing. One day I just stopped seeing him and I wanted to know what happen to him. This podcast pretty much answer my question and gave us a little more information. When the pod caster said " No one whore what he whore" I was thinking they are so right, he was so unique, he stand out from everyone else. I think this is true because he was one of a kind. He always dress so neatly and clean even on the cold and hot weather. His clothes always matched and it was well iron and clean. Another part that I liked was " I think he choose the right path to be happy even though when he found out he did have a brain tumor" This stood out for me because he died being happy, he did what he wanted to do in his life and no one could ever change that. Even though he knew he was sick he never showed it and he never changed the way he was. I agree with the pod caster when they said it was nice to see someone different not the same people every single day. One reason I say this is because like I mention before he was one of a kind he always dress good to gain respect. I'm pretty sure that a lot of people like the way he dress. Another reason I agree with you is because like you mention on the podcast he went trough a lot of things and that never affected the way he was in the streets or the way he looked. Thank you for informing us about the Main Street "Pimp". I was wondering what happen to him and now I know the answer to my question. I hope he rest in peace and I hope to hear more from you because you picked an interesting topic to find out about.

What i noticed about Searching For Main Street Flushing Pimps http://www.mappingmainstreet.org/#route=8818_6367_1&city=8818&image=6365&nav=pathview was that this pimp that they are talking about was noticed by every the clothes. He was noticed because of that he was wearing. The colors of his clothing were really bright and he always matched from head to toe. Ummm... what stands out to me in this podcast was the way the interview people and they described the pimp. When the podcaster said" Where is this pimp now?" I was thinking yeaa... where is he i haven't seen him a long time and i wonder why he hasn't been on main street. I think this is interesting because, i thought i was the only one that notice that the main street pimp was gone. I use to him all the time when i would walk on main street to get to the place i needed to go at that time. Another part that I strongly agree with is "What made the pimp walk Main Street everyday?". This stood out to me because, i mean after you see something but so many times you get tired of it. I wonder if he ever got tired of seeing the stores and maybe even the same people everyday. I do strongly agree with you when you say" The main street pimp was cool." One reason why i say this is because, he was always wore bright colors no matter what season it was. I give him props because, most dudes don't have the guts to wear these bright colors several people. Thanks for the podcast and i look forward to hearing more about the main street pimp so keep me informed. I would like to hear your thought

I liked your response post because you spoke a lot about how you felt about seeing the flushing pimp. One sentence that stands out is "i always saw on main street and he was always around and i always see him when ever i get off i might get afraid of him sometimes because yes i do though that he was crazy" because I never got to see the flushing pimp. I just moved here last year and it is very interesting to me to think about this odd person. Another sentence is when you said "i think that they should give something to remind everyone in flushing about flushing pimp. " I agree with this statement. I think flushing should make something in memory of this flushing pimp because he was so memorable and such a part of main street. This post reminds me of what a community really is. A community is always full of crazy people, and different cultures. The diversity is not only what makes us Flushing, It makes us America. Thanks for the response.

Steam Buns 'R' Us Rookeis Reporters: Alexis Gordon, Hawa Lee & Melissa Best Producer: Sanda Hyte What I noticed most about "Steam Buns 'R' Us" was how energetic and fun this piece was. The tone of the story was informational and interesting at the same time. Alexis, Hawa & Melissa told a story that was close to their hearts since they attended school near Flushing, Main Street. It stands out for me because there is a lot I can relate to in this podcast. I think that I will try to make steam buns one day at home. It seems really fun and like the nutritionist said, it's healthier to make it at home because you can control what goes in or out of it. 90 calories for one mini steam bun isn't all that bad. When Melissa said that steam buns were actually shaped like human skulls, I got kind of freaked out. Sometimes Google isn't 100% true, yet it is a reliable source for information as well. So if they did the research on it, then I believe them. I was also surprised that steam buns originated in China because I thought that they came from like other Asian countries as well. But, it does make sense that it came from China because most steam buns today are made at Chinese bakeries or stores. Another part that I enjoyed listening to was the beginning. It made me want to listen more about the story because it was a good starter. Their voices were very energetic and loud, which made the story seem appealing. Their tones were happy at one point and serious when it came down to interviewing the nutritionist. Ironically, originally I was supposed to do this story with Alexis & Hawa, but then they kicked me out I guess. So then I worked with Rayon & Andrea on the Flushing Pimp story. I would have been okay doing both the stories because I worked on both of them in some way, but I won't hold a grudge. The Radio Rookies Short Wave program was really inspiring and I suddenly feel like I developed a love for radio/audio. You guys did a great job! I'm really glad that I go

What I noticed most about "The Flushing Pimp" is that it was very real to me. It came from a true source of his family, not just assumptions, and it let us see another side of the guy. I think Radiorookies did a very good job explaining and investigating on The Flushing Pimp's life. Now, we all know that he wasn't just some crazy guy dressed like a pimp walking down the street, he had a life we never would've known about. When Andrea said "In the end, I felt that she cared a lot and loved her brother, and she missed him a lot", it made me feel lonely for her. Although he had many problems, and I'm sure there were times when his sister really couldn't handle him, it let me know that some family love never goes away. Another part that I liked was the fact that his sister actually told her brother's story to Radio Rookies. She was very honest and open about it, and because of that, now people know who he was, and his story and life can live on within us. This stood out to me, because it was surprising to me that she would talk about a personal subject like this to teenagers she didn't know. I agreed with the podcasters and the sister that his story should be passed on. One reason I say this is because I know that people never really knew him as a "person". They only saw him as some crazy pimp looking guy always walking on Main Street. But when you really hear the story, you start to understand the different layers of personality and pain he had. Another reason I agree with it is because I feel like if his story is passed on, everything he went through can be relived through us. I enjoyed this podcast a lot, it was very informational and interesting to watch.

What I noticed most about, "Steam Buns 'R Us", was that it was most like a music video than it was a report. That was just to make fun of my friends, I really did enjoy it though. It was really informative and it did bring together the whole history of steam buns together and showed how it connects to our culture now. They did a lot of research on steam buns, and you would think the whole report would be bland, but it was actually very entertaining. Alexis, Hawa and Melissa did a very good job in connecting steam buns to the rest of the world. When Melissa started talking about the history of how steam buns were made how they were "representation of human heads", I got thoroughly creeped out. No one wants to think about human heads when they are eating, especially if those heads were used to be items of sacrifice. It's good that they decided to make a food that would represent a human head instead of sacrificing real human heads. Another part that I loved was when they actually made it themselves. They spoke about the whole experience, and it was like you were actually there~ They spoke about how steam buns were like "world peace wrapped up in a bun" that was really hilarious. But if you think about it, it makes sense. This podcast was a really fun and informative one, please continue the great work!

What I noticed most about, "The Flushing Pimp," was that the interviewers had managed to have a direct 1-hour conversation with the subject's sister. I thought that the accomplishment of managing to have a 1-hour long interview with a complete stranger was actually pretty cool. When the podcaster said, "We had a 1-hour long conversation with [her]." I was thinking OSHI- wow. I thought it was pretty cool and professional to be able to manage that. Out of nearly all things I listened to about the podcast, for some reason, this practical thing seemed to intrigue me the most.

This was a radio program where students had the chance to record and edit stories. There are four stories about steam buns, the Flushing Pimp, culture, and the Main Street Cinema. \n\nI worked on the "Searching for Main Street's Flushing Pimp" with Helen and Rayon. Being biased, our video was the best! We had the experience to learn how to become detectives and even deemed ourselves as the Flushing Detectives. \n\nThis is about a man who dressed similarly to a pimp. In class, we heard two of the radio stories created by East-West students. Helen, Rayon, and I worked on the "Searching for the Main Street Flushing Pimp," and Hawa, Alexis, and Melissa created "Steam Buns 'R' Us." It wouldn't be fun to talk about my group's project, so I'll describe the other team's work. You guys can check it out on www.mappingmainstreet.com and look for the Radio Rookies work in Queens, New York. The thing about this podcast was that it uses the member's love for food and Asian culture. When Melissa explained the origins of steam buns, I felt a wave of uncertainty. I wasn't sure if I wanted to eat human heads. However, the use of history embedded into the podcast is amazingly well thought out. I felt as if though, they really took some depth into their story than just regular adventure. Another strong part that I thought added onto their story was the interview with the nutritionist. People who eat steam buns should have the right to know what they are eating and whether it was healthy. 360 calories for four buns is surprisingly a decent meal! There is nothing to disagree or agree with, but all I can say is how awesome that podcast was; from editing to a diverse number of interviewees. Great job guys!

What I noticed most about, "Searching for Main Street's Flushing Pimp," was that these pod casters are seriously brave. It is very interesting to learn about his background story. I live in Flushing ever since I came to America. Over the summers I seen him walking down the streets many times. He would wear really bright clothing like how Rayon mentioned in the podcast. It caught my attention every time I see him. Every time I see him around, he would be in different set of clothing. Which is very interesting to me. When the pod-casters Helen, Andrea and Rayon interviewed some students in school to see if they can do some further research on this man so call "Flushing pimp." A 9th grader told them he lives right across from school (East- West school of international studies). I was shock when they actually found something interesting. When they knock on flushing pimp's door I thought it was weird. But, by going over to his house they found out more about flushing pimp. They went over to his house and talked to his sister for more than an hour. They found out more than just his real name Emanuel. Another part that I was over shocked was when his sister said he passed away with some type of diseases call Schizophrenia. Some schizophrenia symptoms are having delusional thoughts. Thinking things happen that it really didn't happen. Being paranoid all the time thinking someone is trying to get you. Having false beliefs. Sometimes you can hear voices and having weird thoughts. Emanuel's parents die in his earlier age so him and his sister grows up together. When pod-caster Andrea Torres said "Keep walking that walk." mad me felt really proud of our "Flushing Pimp". His a normal person who lived his life to the fullest. Even when his sick he would still keep walking down those streets living like his fine. His sister is proud of her and so are we. P.S. Rest in peace, Flushing Pimp

<div class="cArrow"> </div><div class="cContentInner">What I noticed most about, "Searching for Main Street's Flushing Pimp," was that these pod casters are seriously brave. It is very interesting to learn about his background story. I live in Flushing ever since I came to America. Over the summers I seen him walking down the streets many times. He would wear really bright clothing like how Rayon mentioned in the podcast. It caught my attention every time I see him. Every time I see him around, he would be in different set of clothing. Which is very interesting to me. When the pod-casters Helen, Andrea and Rayon interviewed some students in school to see if they can do some further research on this man so call "Flushing pimp." A 9th grader told them he lives right across from school (East- West school of international studies). I was shock when they actually found something interesting. When they knock on flushing pimp's door I thought it was weird. But, by going over to his house they found out more about flushing pimp. They went over to his house and talked to his sister for more than an hour. They found out more than just his real name Emanuel. Another part that I was over shocked was when his sister said he passed away with some type of diseases call Schizophrenia. Some schizophrenia symptoms are having delusional thoughts. Thinking things happen that it really didn't happen. Being paranoid all the time thinking someone is trying to get you. Having false beliefs. Sometimes you can hear voices and having weird thoughts. Emanuel's parents die in his earlier age so him and his sister grows up together. When pod-caster Andrea Torres said "Keep walking that walk." mad me felt really proud of our "Flushing Pimp". His a normal person who lived his life to the fullest. Even when his sick he would still keep walking down those streets living like his fine. His sister is proud of her and so are we. P.S. Rest in peace, Flushing Pimp</div>

I love you're Mapping Mainstreet Podcast. At first, I assumed it would be boring.. another podcast? But I had high expectations because you guys were the ones doing this project. It wasn't boring and caught my interest through out the podcast. I find it interesting that steam buns are shaped after human heads because they use it as sacrifice..I think I've lost my appetite..for now. The steam buns are great because it's cheap and although it's not healthy, it's better than a happy meal, especially when you're on the go. But it's still counted as fast food because it's when you need something on the go. Also, when I buy it, it's usually filled with like.. oil, more bread, and less meat. But it doesn't matter when you're really hungry. Yes, definitely, when food is homemade, you're in control of what is getting put inside. For example, sometimes when my mom buys food from Flushing, I'm really skeptical. I'm guarded when I eat these things.. and you don't want to hear about the incidents that occurred before... :shivers:. I love it when my mom makes homemade food. Did you know AA plaza also makes dumplings? I hate it. I sometimes find weird ingredients in it and I'm like "what the crap am I eating?!?!" But when my mom makes it, I make sure to ask her to put my favorite ingredients! I liked the pictures you took of Flushing because those are the places we see in our daily lives...I bet all of us pass that place at least once, every day. I do agree with you Alexis, on how a steam bun is like a world that connects everyone. I loved how you guys actually made steam buns. Were they edible? Teach me how to make it next time!!

What i noticed most about, The flushing pimp" the way he dressed and his sense of style. The way he walked through the street he didn't care how people looked at him or what they thought about him he was comfortable with who he was. When the pod caster said "he had schizophrenia, i was thinking wow what is that exactly? I heard of the condition before but i didn't know exactly what it did to you or if you could die from it. This quote stood out to me and i chose 0to write about it because it was something serious that this guy had to go through. Also I didn't know much about it so i just wanted to express that through writing. There was another part in this video that fascinated me. The guy didn't have any money and without his sister he would have been homeless. The way he dressed and the way he walked around flushing was like nothing was wrong with him. I feel that this guy had an effect on people and i strongly like the fact that the pod casters chose to write about him. He may have been a bit weird but he never bothered people he just wanted to get fly and be happy. Sadly he died and now that, "flyness" that use to walk around flushing main street no longer exists. I would like to thank the pod casters for making this piece about "the flushing pimp". I really enjoyed watching the video, it had comedy and a little bit sadness that made it just right.

I agree with your post, mapping main street - Steam Buns "R" us, because I really enjoy the video. One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is "it really reflect the culture of Main Street in Flushing."because I think main street is the place that asian people hand out a lot. Another sentence that I read was "Steam buns are easily found on Main Street here," This stood out for me because steam buns are good and special food that really popular in many place in an asian community. Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next.

I like steam buns and i eat them a lot. And i know how to make those step by step. Back in China my grandmother often made steam buns in the house, i watched and remembered most of the steps. I haven't actually made any.\n\n In here there are frozen steam buns available in supermarkets and all you have to do is warming them up in your microwave oven. But the taste is different. In here the steam buns are either small, too oily, or very large with only vegetables inside.\n\n Man this sucks. I miss a lot of things in China. So yea, the video reminds me of a lot of things. And they didn't make the steam buns in the right way. It also reminds me of my grandparents, whom i have grown up with until four years ago. I kind of miss them.\n

What I noticed most about, "Searchin for The Main Street Pimp" (mappingmainstreet.org), was that the pod casters Rayon, Helen, and Andrea actually took their work to heart and actually wanted to find out more about this "main street pimp". They went above and beyond to find out what happened to him. They searched his facebook then found out that he has a sister. They were so passionate about their work that they actually went and found out where his sister lived and visited her. She then came into the hallway and spoke to the pod casters about her brother. When Dominique said, "I don't like him, hes disgusting", that actually made me sad a little bit, because she didn't think about who the man really was and what kind of person he was on the inside. She felt that he was a real pimp and took away young girls lives for the sake of money. Im sure that when she actually listened to this pod cast and heard his sister speak, she felt otherwise. My heart sank with her words. I felt sad because I was sure that other people felt that way too; about him being a real pimp. Another part that I saddened me was: "he has spinal cancer, throat cancer, two head tumors", I almost cried because I felt that this man has lived with such heart in his life, knowing that his mother died while he was just transitioning from a teenager into a man. He became homeless after a while and decided to just continue living his life. even after he found out about his sickness.

What I noticed most about, "The Search for the Flushing Pimp" was that there was actually a pimp among us. I have never seen a pimp before and just seeing those pictures amazed me. It's sad that he passed but to know that there was a person like that in Flushing is amazing. When the Helen said " He took his dying the right way by not putting himself into a deep depression. He continued to walk around and dress up" I was thinking that even though this man may of had problems he was still an inspiration to those who think that because they are dying they can sit there and wait for death. This is very strong, I think a lot of people can gain inspiration from him if they heard his story, Another part that I thought was interesting was the fact that he liked to collect things. This stood out for me because I didn't know that schizophrenics collect things but I think that the collecting of things made him happy. I always heard that those type of people are not in touch with the environment and their surroundings. I can't say whether I agree with it or not because this whole new experience with these type of people. While listening to the post it helped me learned more and more about what he was going through. When you hear it, it makes you thank God more and more that you didn't end up like that. But he handled the situation like a real man and went about his business even though he was troubled with his sicknesses. Thank you for the podcast, it really opened my eyes to a lot of things. I really didn't know about schizophrenia but know I know. I hope to listen to more of your work.

This is a response to the second story which i thought was sort of tragic and unfortunate. I am very big on health,i do A lot of research involving the human anatomy and nutrition. The so called "flushing pimp" in the story died of cancer. This did not really come as a surprise due to the fact that cancer is one of the leading causes of death. Today, the average diet is an amalgamation of so much junk and contaminated foods. We are not taking care of our bodies in any way and are just letting everything go to waste. Health is a big problem in this country and we are hardly doing anything to fix that. The human body should remain natural because we are made from natural forms. The elements that coalesce to give us life should only be able to thrive and run at full capacity on natural products. These days, there are not many doctors or the the health profession is not one that is pursued A lot due to lack opf patience and being squeamish. Taking care of your body should never be tiring and should always give us a sense of dignity. One quote that caught my attention was when she said that he still wanted to go out on his last day. I found that to be quiet robust and i could see how much pride he had even though i met him. This is one of the many skills of humans. The ability to keep that joyful benign mindset in the most formidable times. We can be energizer bunnies if we want to,the problem is...not enough of us want to. Some of us hold ourselves in such a high esteem with all the confidence and everything in our prime and when we are in good health but we lose it just when we need it the most. The day we find out that a disease has burdened us and we are rendered forever sick. Some of us lose that hope to live cause we know that we only have but a few more days on earth but it should be the other way around. We should fight and be bellicose and obstinate the most when those days approach us. I believe that compassion for life is solely for that purpose. I know its a

What i noticed most about "searching main street.org" Is that it's funny how i've seen this man before. I did wonder what happened to him. But then i just forgot about him. This video caught my attention and answered my past questions. When the podcast said " He has a broken heart cause his mother died " I was surprized because he always seemed to look very happy and calm. They say after his mother passed away he completely changed. Another part that i was shocked by was "He has throat cancer , Spine cance , Lung cancer and a brain tumor ." It shocked me because again he always looked like a happy man. I would have never guessed that he was going through the conditions that he was going through. He had a very bold and outstanding fashion sense. He got his name from the way he dressed. FLUSHING Mainst PIMP. He dressed like a pimp. I kind of miss seeing him around i remember him catching everyone's attention . No one ever looked like him. He didn't look ordinary but rather unique. He believed the way you dress is important. He believed he got respect by the way he dressed. I never saw him in the same outfit not once. And i used to see him since i was 9. Unfortunately he died. I enjoyed the podcast and hope to see more of your work. Thank you for answering my long lost question.

First Impressions Count When Making Personality Judgments - US News and World Report - 1 views

Personality via our appearance

shared by Tian EWSIS on 12 Nov 09 - No Cached

Tian EWSIS on 12 Nov 09

"In an age dominated by social media where personal photographs are ubiquitous, it becomes important to understand the ways personality is communicated via our appearance." I think it's pretty true that our appearance may reflect our personality. For example, if someone appears very neat and healthy and always smiles warmly, he must be very confident; if someone appears very untidy, I bet this person is very lazy. As we shouldn't judge a book by the cover, it's hard to absolutely tell a person's characteristics based on his appearance. Yet first impression is always very important because we are just used to remembering and judging by what comes into our vision first.

An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, probably including expansion of subtropical deserts.[7] The continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice is expected, with warming being strongest in the Arctic. Other likely effects include increases in the intensity of extreme weather events, species extinctions, and changes in agricultural yields.

  The temperature is affecting not only regular temperature but also changes in the agriculture facilities. It is merans that food industry prices as well as food companies will "sky rocket", because of temperature changes.

Political and public debate continues regarding climate change, and what actions (if any) to take in response. The available options are mitigation to reduce further emissions; adaptation to reduce the damage caused by warming; and, more speculatively, geoengineering to reverse global warming. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

  Politics is making the Climate Chnge issue, unimportant, I beleive that Govermnets are just "selling their image", so they would look good. There are many, many policies pacts that have been made in order to "control Clmiate Change/ Global Warming". When will there be a policy that actually help the meniviroment?

Human activity since the Industrial Revolution has increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to increased radiative forcing from CO2, methane, tropospheric ozone, CFCs and nitrous oxide. The concentrations of CO2 and methane have increased by 36% and 148% respectively since the mid-1700s.[23] These levels are much higher than at any time during the last 650,000 years, the period for which reliable data has been extracted from ice cores.[24] Less direct geological evidence indicates that CO2 values this high were last seen about 20 million years ago.[25] Fossil fuel burning has produced about three-quarters of the increase in CO2 from human activity over the past 20 years. Most of the rest is due to land-use change, particularly deforestation.[26]

If the atmosphere is warmed, the saturation vapor pressure increases, and the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere will tend to increase. Since water vapor is a greenhouse gas, the increase in water vapor content makes the atmosphere warm further; this warming causes the atmosphere to hold still more water vapor (a positive feedback), and so on until other processes stop the feedback loop

When ice melts, land or open water takes its place. Both land and open water are on average less reflective than ice and thus absorb more solar radiation. This causes more warming, which in turn causes more melting, and this cycle continues.
- Munaza EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
  
  The Ice is melting. If you look at the The cold continent of Antartica, the ice caps are melting there. The North and the South Poles are melting. The sea levels are rising and inhabitants such as polar bears and Penguins are getting affected. The sea levels are afftecting Island Nations as well as sea bordering nations.

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) between the start and the end of the 20th century.

Temperature changes vary over the globe. Since 1979, land temperatures have increased about twice as fast as ocean temperatures (0.25 °C per decade against 0.13 °C per decade).

  I think this sentence is important because this shows that global warming is causing the earth to get warmer. This changes things lik melting of ice bergs which can lead to rising sea level and cause major changes.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century was caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation.
- JackeyQ EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
  
  This is important because it descibes why and how the temperatures all around the world are going up. This also shows that as we get more technology, we are destroying the earth more and more.

The IPCC also concludes that variations in natural phenomena such as solar radiation and volcanoes produced most of the warming from pre-industrial times to 1950 and had a small cooling effect afterward.

The uncertainty in this estimate arises from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations and the use of differing estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions.
- JackeyQ EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
  
  I think this means that no one can predict what would happen or how much emissions we produce. Less is the best, but none is great

The greenhouse effect is the process by which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases in the atmosphere warm a planet's lower atmosphere and surface.
- JackeyQ EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
  
  This means that how much emissions we would make is how much global warming we create or how much we would make our own doom.

Clouds also affect the radiation balance, but they are composed of liquid water or ice and so are considered separately from water vapor and other gases.

  I wonder if this can also help since it can cool down the face of the earth and also it can help by reflecting solar light back into space as it makes it's way through the atmosphere.

Global dimming, a gradual reduction in the amount of global direct irradiance at the Earth's surface, has partially counteracted global warming from 1960 to the present.
- JackeyQ EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
  
  This means that global dimming helps by reflecting the warm sunlight away from earth so that we can keep it cool itstead of hot.

Warming is expected to change the distribution and type of clouds. Seen from below, clouds emit infrared radiation back to the surface, and so exert a warming effect; seen from above, clouds reflect sunlight and emit infrared radiation to space, and so exert a cooling effect.

  I think this is important since it might trap heat, but it relfects even more heat out than it traps. It also helps cool the earth, but trapping those gases in can harm us since those gas can be toxic.

Geoengineering is the deliberate modification of Earth's natural environment on a large scale to suit human needs.[106] An example is greenhouse gas remediation, which removes greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, usually through carbon sequestration techniques such as carbon dioxide air capture.
- JackeyQ EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
  
  I think this is important because if we do have to evacuate the earth, then we would need to bring this information to our new planet so that we can preserve that planet and hopefully learn from our mistakes.

In 2007–2008 Gallup Polls surveyed 127 countries. Over a third of the world's population were unaware of global warming, with developing countries less aware than developed, and Africa the least aware. Of those aware, Latin America leads in belief that temperature changes are a result of human activities while Africa, parts of Asia and the Middle East, and a few countries from the Former Soviet Union lead in the opposite belief.

We had one nurse at our hotel, so he was out front helping people who were coming in who were injured. When word got out that there was a nurse at our hotel, people just started bringing their injured family members to the hotel. I was deputized by the nurse to help in whatever way I could. So he would tell me where a broken bone was, and I had to learn on the sly how to make a splint.

It’s hard to describe. I was working on a boy who his father was there speaking in Creole, so we were trying to get a good translation, but basically what he explained was that their house collapsed, and he got out, but his son was trapped under the rubble. But he could—his son could still yell, and they spent all night trying to find him, and finally they dug him out, and they brought him to our hotel, because there was one nurse at our hotel.

  It is really sad to hear that there are bodies just laying there and very little things done to get them on another place or relocate them. Its sad to hear that so many people died, people that had no idea what was going to happen.

After watching the video, I was utterly speechless. It's really sad to know that another country is in desperate help of need, especially when they weren't in a good state before.Having a massive earthquake hit a city that;s already in poverty is really devastating. The situation is almost similar to that of the tsunami that happened just a few years ago. Other countries are contributing by sending over aid and people to help revive the city and help the people. Most of the buildings have collapsed and many of the few buildings had cracks. It's very interesting to hear about different people who were visiting Haiti speak about their experience during the disaster. Over thousands of people in Haiti are currently homeless and injured. A person walking by would be able to witness bodies being crushed by concrete and bodies covered by a sheet of blanket laying on the floor. The country is now short in water supply, food, money,and many important factors. People are desperate for aid and money. I think it's great that other countries aren't just standing by and not doing anything. I hope in the future, they will be able to revive most of the damaged buildings and maybe the people there will find jobs and homes again.

Figuring out the nature of the real world has obsessed scientists and philosophers for millennia. Three hundred years ago, the Irish empiricist George Berkeley contributed a particularly prescient observation: The only thing we can perceive are our perceptions. In other words, consciousness is the matrix upon which the cosmos is apprehended. Color, sound, temperature, and the like exist only as perceptions in our head, not as absolute essences. In the broadest sense, we cannot be sure of an outside universe at all.

This perspective of the universe is so remarkably different and interesting than most people conceptual understanding of the universe. It is just another form of seeing the universe, a point I want to make that the universe might be something very different from the outer space of the Earth where other planets exist.

I am learning more about recycle right now, and in particular what I 'm wondering about is:Why people don't like to recycle? I was researching this question online, and this poem caught my attention because I really like it. "Please Recycle by Erin Michele Pacey Please recycle the love that we share... Please recycle the time that we spend together... Please recycle our freedom... Please recycle our friendship... Please recycle my life... Please recycle yourself... Please recycle me... Please recycle us." The poem I chose here is basically saying that we should recycle if we want our life to be great. I think this is strong Please because.....It makes me wonder that why do we have to beg for people to do there good.

Paul Allison on 14 Mar 10

I'm looking into Jane McGonigal's work around ARG's - Alternate Reality Games. In particular I'm wondering how playing one of these games changes the way people interact because they are thinking differently. This is what McGonigal has to say about such changes: "Games, when you play them with other people, … actually strengthen the reward circuitry so it actually makes people more social and more likely to collaborate because their brains are actually more responsive to people online and offline. Games are transforming the brains of people who play them in largely positive ways." She is saying that by playing a game, we adopt a role and use our brains differently. This expands what is possible in our brains, and has impacts on what we do in life after we are finished playing the games. And this is what games should do: change how we live our lives when the games aren't there. Like art helps us see differently, games should help us live by different rules, recognize different systems than we saw before playing the game.

I'm learning more about racism right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is are people being racist even to the president? I was researching this question online, and this news item caught my attention because this news item basically is about people bagan to criticize our president Obama. Here is the quote I found "His conclusion by using surveys is that most of us are racists, we just don't realize we are. He is absolutely amazed that the American people are criticizing our president. It seems inconceivable to him and others like him that many of us are upset at the direction Obama is attempting to lead our country." The quote I chose here is basically saying people are criticizing Obama. The level and tone of the dissent against Obama is more primal and vicious than any leveled at Bush, and for far less reason that people had to criticize Bush. It has just been couple of month, people were criticizing Bush and hope to have a new president. All people vote for Obama but now, why people are criticizing Obama too? I think this doesn't make sense because people are not satisfy with what the president were doing. I understand that being a president is hard. It also takes time to rule a country and bring the economy back. It's not a piece of cake.

America makes it seem as though once your in,there is nothing else. There was nothing before and there wont be anything after. There are countries of equal significance or even more. All we have to do is look a bit further and we will see the truth.

Mapping Main Street EWSIS Flushing Searching for the Main Street Flushing's Pimp

shared by Hiba EWSIS on 24 Nov 09 - Cached

JackeyQ EWSIS, Helen EWSIS, and Nicole EWSIS liked it

Hiba EWSIS on 24 Nov 09

What I noticed most about, "Searching for Main Street's Flushing Pimp," was they managed to find out the reason Emanuel Milton behaved the way he did. He had schizophrenia and many health problems. He got schizophrenia after his mother's death. He believed that dressing well gained you respect so he made his appearance, his number one priority. We learned that he lived his life the way he wanted to despite his health issues. When the podcaster said, "When his mother died that trigged his schizophrenia," I was thinking how a single event can drastically change a person's entire life. I think this is interesting because I believe that Emanuel was traumatized by his mother's death and that influenced him to become the person that everybody on main street saw him as. Another part that caught my attention was: "I don't think he was a pimp, I think he just dressed like that to get attention." This stood out for me because as the podcast continued, they learned that this was actually true. According to his sister, he believed that dressing well allows you to get respect. In a way he did, from many people on Main Street, he was able to accomplish his purpose of being the way he was. Since, he was so eye-catching to everyone around him; he became famous and was titled "the pimp on Main Street," not necessarily because he was a pimp but his appearance said that. I do strongly agree that "the pimp on Main Street" brought life to the neighborhood because he caught everyone's attention by his outrageous and colorful clothing. One reason I say this is because most people in Main Street were able to recognize him. Another reason I agree is because no one else ever managed to dress in such a manner and maintain it over many years. Thank you for your podcast Helen Peng, Andrea Torres, and Rayon Wright. I'll look forward to seeing your work again because you had interesting thoughts and managed to gather a lot of information on such a vague topic

Dear Hiba, I liked "Mapping Main Street A Collaborative Documentary Media Project" because you talked about the Flushing Pimp. One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "I do strongly agree that "the pimp on Main Street" brought life to the neighborhood because he caught everyone's attention by his outrageous and colorful clothing." because it is true. Another sentence that stood out was: "no one else ever managed to dress in such a manner and maintain it over many years" because it is also true. Your post reminds me of something that happened to me. I was waiting outside a store and I saw the Flushing Pimp. I talked with him and he seemed interesting. Thanks fro your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because what you wrote and what I think are similar.

After reading a lot of others' comments to our story, I suddenly feel a longing to see the Flushing Pimp again. Like you said, he is part of our neighborhood. He was truly a character even though he had schizo. Thanks for responding to our story! Your feedback is well appreciated! -Helen :]

I researching this question online, and this poem "Because She Would Ask Me Why I Loved Her", it caught my attention because of the question why I loved her. "Because She Would Ask Me Why I Loved Her a poem by Christopher Brennan If questioning would make us wise No eyes would ever gaze in eyes; If all our tale were told in speech No mouths would wander each to each. Were spirits free from mortal mesh And love not bound in hearts of flesh No aching breasts would yearn to meet And find their ecstasy complete. For who is there that lives and knows The secret powers by which he grows? Were knowledge all, what were our need To thrill and faint and sweetly bleed?. Then seek not, sweet, the "If" and "Why" I love you now until I die. For I must love because I live And life in me is what you give. "

Multiple Intelligences EWSIS Howard Gardner

shared by LawrenceY EWSIS on 13 Jan 10 - Cached

All students should have the opportunity to not only further develop their dominant intelligences, but should also have the opportunity to develop their weaker intelligences. Students who are weak in the verbal-linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences will certainly be at a disadvantage in a culture that places so much emphasis on the traditional intelligences. Despite their weaknesses, however, students who are given the opportunity to succeed using an intelligence in which they can excel demonstrate that they are capable of developing their verbal-linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences.

I'm learning more about the multiple intelligences right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: How this theory is applied in modern education? I was researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because it mentioned that schools did not use a variety of learning styles to teach. "...American schools still base their instruction primarily on the verbal-linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences. As a result, many students who are not strong in these traditional intelligences develop poor attitudes toward school and their academic achievement suffers." Most schools today base their curriculum around only two of several intelligences. However, many students are more adept in using other methods to learn. This makes it harder for those students to excel, despite having the ability to if given the right school environment. I think this is true because I know a bunch of people who are extremely talented in a lot of areas. They know a lot, but, they have poor grades, mainly because they can not showcase their abilities properly. It makes me wonder if the school system will change in the future. Then, maybe it will be more fair.

I'm learning more about Multiple Intelligences right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: How are Multiple Intelligences used in school? I was researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because it answers my question directly. "traditional and nontraditional approaches should be combined to formulate a method of education that is best suited to the students who populate our classrooms. The multiple intelligences offer a balance which teaches students what they need to know in order to be successful in our society in a way that compliments the unique abilities that each individual possesses." The quote i chose here is basically saying that the authorities should change school so that they can combine two different intelligences together. By combining two intellgences it is easier for students who are not dominant in either logical, or linguistic intelligences. I think this is smart because many students dominant intelligences are not in linguistic, or logical. Instead it is in the intelligences schools do not incorporate into the curriculum. It makes me wonder if i would do better in school, if two intelligences were combined.

"Sneezing can also be triggered by a sudden exposure to a brilliant light, a somewhat full stomach, and rapid changes in the climate or temperatures. This is something that I can relate too. Do you ever sneeze right after eating a meal? where there is exposure to some bright light, I will always sneeze. Does your heart really stop when you sneeze? (literally) to sneeze. Don't tell your kids that, because it is not true. Sometimes we may feel like our heart is going to stop, but it doesn't. cough, it may feel like our heart is going to stop."

Here is the quote I found "We have all been a little racist once in a while, and it's easy to call a certain culture names. But we should not judge a certain nationality or colour with just one statement. " The quote I chose here is basically saying that Racism hurts people. It creates conflict and even wars in our world. It tears our world apart. So we can't judge people with thier race. I think this is absolutely right because I think there will be world peace if we can stop racism. there are many arguement that start with racism. It really needs to stop.

I'm learning more about global warming right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: How to stop global warming? I was researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because this blog post tells you what you need to know about global warming to know how to prevent it from continuing. This post tells you what global warming is and the causes of global warming. This post is helpful and informational. "Most modern attention to the problem of global warming began with discussion of depletion of the Earth's Ozone layer. Ozone (O3) is a molecular form of Oxygen. The Ozone layer is a relatively thin strata of these molecules set in the lower portion of the Earth's stratosphere. Depletion of the Earth's Ozone layer has resulted in a large increase in Ultra Violet Radiation reaching the surface of the earth. Does this increase in UV rays equate to global warming? Not really. In fact most scientific opinion is that depletion of the Ozone layer results in cooling of both the stratosphere and troposphere. So why mention depletion of the Ozone layer as regards to global warming? Because it represents a needed balance between harmful radiation being allowed to reach the earth's surface and our desire to stem the rapid increase in our air and water temperature. Remember, we are viewing global warming as a chain of events." The quote I chose here is basically saying that people think the reduction of the Earth's Ozone layer is one cause of global warming. Ozone is a molecular form of Oxygen. The reduction of the Earth's Ozone layer resulted in an increase in Ultra Violet Radiation appearing on earth. I think global warming is a very important issue because global warming happens on earth and thats where we live. Global warming is not a positive issue but a negative one so I think we all should work together to find a solution to this problem if we want to save the place where we live on.

WOW can you believe how fast technology is progressing? It's amazing what companies come up with every year. Our society always seems to thirst for more. Over the past few years, 3-D has become a HIT thing. Every now and then, a 3-D movie comes out. This Acer laptop is not only inexpensive, but it even comes with a pair of 3-D GLASSES!I'm indeed very curious about what the world would look like in the year 3000. I predict that we'd have laptops just pop out of our desks. Laptops that would take centuries to break. Who knows, they probably already exist. Technology is just amazing. It never ceases to amaze me with its abilities. I hope to hear more interesting news in the future!!!!
