I'm learning more about zodiac signs right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: How much of your personality is defined through your zodiac sign? I was researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because of it's title. I could tell it would describe which pair of zodiac signs are the most compatible depending on their personalities. "The following pairings are just guides, no matter what sign you are, it is still up to both of you on how to cultivate and maintain a harmonious relationship with one another. " The quote I chose here is basically saying this page is almost like advice or a warning for the readers to learn more about zodiac sign compatibility. This may vary depending on how much personalities are changed by their environment. It isn't impossible for a Leo and Pisces to have a stable relationship but according to the article, it'll be very difficult for them. I think this is interesting because the future of a relationship can be determined just by zodiac signs of the partners. It makes me wonder if two zodiac signs who are known to be the most compatible could have struggles or an end to their relationship. The commitment of both partners matters too which can be determined by zodiac signs as well. It says Taurus and Scorpio are one of the best combination in relationships. It says "Though sometimes it can be rough, Scorpio brings out the best motivation for Tauruses whenever they encounter any failure and hardships. Scorpios are compassionate for Tauruses and gives them a feeling of security." I believe this is true from the experience I've had. From what is described in this article is almost exactly what I'm facing with a close person in my life who is a Taurus. I am a Scorpio and since our signs are almost opposites, we balance out each other and build a good relationship; Scorpio is a fire sign and Taurus is a water sign.

I find zodiac signs interesting too. im a taurus and i feel that taurus & Aries are one of the best signs in the zodiac. Those two signs put together are pretty much unstopable if they get together even if they say that they dont go together

i respct your beliefs in the zodiac signs, but i dont realy think that this is realy true. i think it is all a hokes like easter bunny and the old st. nick. NO DISRESPECT

"It can be difficult in the middle of winter - especially if you live in the frigid Northeastern U.S., as I do - to remain convinced that global warming will be such a bad thing. Beyond the fact that people prefer warmth to cold, there's a reason the world's population is clustered in the Tropics and subtropics: warmer climates usually mean longer and richer growing seasons. So it's easy to imagine that on a warmer globe, the damage inflicted by more frequent and severe heat waves would be balanced by the agricultural benefits of warmer temperatures." im learning more about this because i jsut finshed reading this i though that this is a good thing and a bad thing becuase i saw it on netgeo that if the earth temptrue go up by 1 or 2 is a major change in the earth it can affect alot of differet things however since global warming gets warmer it means that there will be easyier to grow food however if it keeps on getting hotter is going to be really bad im sure so i guess we need to stp this becuase it's jsut simply bad. in many different ways we are doing this as as a bookmark to show that we did some work and i thought that this article is really cool

I'm learning more about food security right now,and in particular what I'm wondering about is:why global warning portends a food Crisis?I was researching this question online,and this blog post caught my attention because it have told what will happen in Africa. "Yet many climatologists believe that global warming will make dry areas dryer and further damage farming, which is especially dire news for sub-Saharan Africa, a region that already struggles with heat waves, droughts and famines even as population continues to grow. "Climate change is going to be a major concern for Africa," says Nteranya Sanginga, director of the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Institute of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture in Nairobi. "We could lose whole growing seasons."" The quote I chose here is basically saying that the Africa will lose the whole growing season,because the temperature in Africa have the higher temperature effect by the Battisti and Naylor ,it is not the possible effect of changing precipitation patterns.The climatologists believe that global warning will make the dry areas dryer and further damage farming.It make the climate is changing is going be a major concern for Africa. I think this is amazing because it makes me wonder that there have so many country don't have enough food for their people,and because the climate change,make some place can't grow the plants again,so i think if you want solve the problem of the food security, one of the thing you need to do is solve the global warning,make it don't not effect the climate.

I'm learning more about "food security" right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: what really caused this problem. I was researching this question online, and this article, "Why Globing Warming Portends a Food Crisis" caught my attention because it made me realize the connection between two big global issues. The quote I chose here is basically saying as the temperatures on this planet becomes higher and higher, more and more food is going to be damaged. I think this is really serious because we all would die without food. It makes me wonder what would happen if the temperatures keep going up and causing more serious food security issue. I hope there would be a way to solve these problems.

I'm learning more about "personality" right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is:"Why do I always feel so lonely?" and "Why do I always act so funny?" I was researching this question onine, and this blog "Borderline Personality Disorder and The Fake" caught my attention because the title attracted me and my problem is somewhat related to that title, so I think it should answer my questions. This sparked my interest because maybe I'm somewhat depressed and stressed these days so that I always think too much, which makes me want to explore more about people's inner psychology. My favorite quote in this blog is "the truth is, most people with this disorder are smart, and they can really be very funny." This quote I chose here is basically saying that people who cannot easily control their emotions actually always look funny and they are always very smart. I like this quote because I think it somewhat applies to my situation. I think this is cogent and it makes me wonder that if I am also that type of person. I always look very funny, and maybe most people think I'm smart, which isn't exactly true... but anyways, actually I'm also easy to feel lonely and I always feel that I have some sort of inner disorder or something like that, though I don't really show that on my face, so people cannot really tell. I just don't want people to think that the thing I'm annoyed with is very silly and insignificant. Yet I believe that most people always get angry at very little things, but sometimes things have different meanings to different people, so something may be insignificant to someone, but it may also be very paramount to another. Nevertheless, I have to admit that when I get annoyed with something or someone, I usually just pretend nothing has happened. And the same with things that frustrate me. I would always try to look happy and funny even if I was very depressed. Anyways I believe that it's something that most people do in this society, so it's not rea

Traditionally with people who have Borderline Personality Disorder, once they're flying, meaning angry, there's no stopping them. The anger is a manifestation of pain. If you can't see that, then there's no helping your spouse, your child, your friend, your mother, whoever it is who is unable to regulate emotion. When the plate needs shattering, it will shatter. When they need love, they'll find someone to sleep with. When a car needs to be keyed, it will be keyed."\n\nMy favorite quote in this blog is "the truth is, most people with this disorder are smart, and they can really be very funny."

Im learning more about FGM/C right now, and in particular im wondering about is: why do women think it is OK to prefrom FGM/C. I was researching this question online, and this article showed up. (http://www.unicef.org/protection/index_genitalmutilation.html). It caught my attention because of the large number of women who still preform FGM/C to this day. "FGM/C is mainly performed on children and adolescents between four and 14 years of age. In some countries such as Ethiopia however, more than half of FGM/C is performed on infants under one year old." The purpose of this quote is to inform people on the ongoing events involving FGM/C. In particular, FGM/C on children and adolesense. I think this is very important to know about because in most societies, sexual is over looked, and given to practically anyone. However, in most places around the world, sexual activites are extremely important learn about.

A special session to commemorate International Women's Day on 25 March at ESCAP headquarters in Bangkok, with the theme, "Women Speak Up: Voices from the Informal Sector," heard messages about valuing women's informal work and their contributions to the global economy. The event included a discussion on women informal workers, addressing accountability and the need to affirm the value of women's work in the informal sector while making linkages with migration, HIV, violence against women and women's leadership. "We must have the involvement of women and girls in finding effective solutions. It is women who raise sons and daughters and are influencing children's attitudes and values about gender equality and human rights," said keynote speaker Dr. Saisuree Chutikul, a former Minister attached to the Office of the Prime Minister of Thailand and current member of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. "They should have freedom to express their views, to participate in decision-making and have leadership roles in areas of their concern." "Women are more marginalized than men. And as workers, women are the bottom of the job hierarchy. They have limited access to productive resources, often working for low wages, in contractual and flexible employment, without legal or social protections or collective bargaining mechanisms, and subject to market vagaries,"

I was looking at the different blogs on google blog search and something had caught my eye. The title of the blog was called "New Leonardo Da Vinci painting found?". There reason this caught my eye was because Leonardo has been dead for hundreds of year, why is it that it took them this long to discover one of his paintings? Another interesting thing is that the price of the painting arose overnight from thousands of dollars to over one hundred and sixty million. Now that is a real shocker. Although it hasn't been one hundred percent confirmed that it is in fact Leonardo's paintings, however there is a very high chance. I hope to research more into this later on today. As of right now, there is not enough facts.

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.

what I noticed most about the Main street flushing pimp is that he really made a name for him self out on the street and people realy miss him being out on the street. If you go out on main street and ask just about eny one if they have ever seen him chansis are they have. When Hellen sead that he might be dead I was shockt that it might be a posibillity he was the life of main street he made every one happy and he was really friendly

My current inquiry question is about the legendary sea monster named Lochness. This podcast that I'm listening right now is about a discovery of an ancient long-necked creature named Dinosuffulosaurus,that inhabited the seats of what is now southeast China. The physical features of this creature looks strikingly similar to that of Loch Ness. The interviewer describes this creature as," Imagine an egg, a little bit squashed that is about 3 feet long. And on the front end of that, stick a neck that is about 5 feet long and about 3 inches in diameter. on the end of that put a head that is about 5 inches long. It's a very elongated neck head relative to the size of the body. The back end would've been a tail too but we don't know how big that was because it's not on this fossil." He had also compared the creatures neck to a Giraffes, however it's neck is more slender and long. He comes from a family of the Plesiosaur. What's most interesting is that the creature is not a dinosaur and is often mistakened as on. It is actually a marine reptile. They go on talking about the reptile's neck and what it's use was for. Unlike other reptiles/dinosaurs that possessed a long neck, Dinosuffollosaurus' neck was stiff. They say that reason for its long neck was to deceive their preys to think that they weren't as big as they were until it was too late. This method of feeding is called suction feeding, which is commonly used by many of the sea animals, such as fishes. The creature's fossil is currently in China and is placed there for further

Farmers have seen profound changes in agriculture in the past 10 years, but revolutionary technology is just on the horizon. This is a interesting article about how the technology of farming have changed in the past 10 years, and how it is likely to develop in the next 10 years. With the more advanced technology, more food can be produced, this can definitely help food security. Although in "sucky" places like Africa, the people are very unlikely to gain that kind of technology even if it is developed...

"Within the hallowed halls of academia, one of the best futurists is Mike Boehlje at Purdue's Center for Food and Agricultural Business. He sees three types of technology at the farm level that are in the process of coming to market: technology to manipulate growth processes of plants and animals, technology for monitoring and measuring systems, and automated process control technology. on its own, each area is significant, he says, but it's their coming commercial convergence that will bring the most significant change." This is very cool to read. In my previous bookmark on diigo, I talked about how technology in general can't really help farmers, especially the whole idea of the cell phone but this... this is interesting. Going forward in providing this for farmers sure as "heck" can help farmers. I mean this is what farmers need correct? More of their supply to sell, how they are going to sell it and well pretty much the time it will take to sell it. The faster they get their money the better. I sure hope that farmers don't have to pay a lot of money to get this advancement or at least will be able to get their hands on it somehow.

I'm learning about the earth right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is why is earth important to us? I was researching this question online, and this Google news caught my attention because as we all know that earth is something that we need to take care of. As we know that supposely we are the ones that we are destroying the world with this whole smoke thing. I strongly believe that we need to take care of our world and protect it from danger things. In other words we are suppose to save the world. Cause it's said we are the ones that we destroy this world. "When water temperatures fall to below 163 degrees or so, close to the high temperatures previously hypothesized for the early ocean, communities of green photosynthetic bacteria begin to grow on the pool floor. These communities become thicker as water temperature continues to drop off away from the pool centers". According to the article. sometimes teperature is a cause that is affected. The quote that I chose here is basically saying that throughout the world things can change. But only if we help. I think that this earth situation is important to any one that cares about the earth. "Tice says the team examined rocks from the Buck Reef Chert in South Africa that are known to be about 3.4 billion years old, among the oldest ever discovered. They found features in them that are consistent with formation at water temperatures significantly lower than previous studies had suggested. "Our research shows that the water temperature 3.4 billion years ago was at most 105 degrees, and while that's potentially very warm, it's far below the temperatures of 155 degrees or more that previous research has implied," Tice explains. The research found that conditions were considerably cooler, probably by 50 degrees or even more. That means that conditions for life were much easier, and that life that did exist at the time was not under as much stress as previously believed. "

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!!

I agree sometimes I find that poscasts are really boring and blah. This one was exciting and fun. I really could relate to this podcast because I too eat steamed buns fairly often.

One of the most discussed issues in American sports today is the current bowl system in college football. Majority of the Americans, especially fans, favor On having a playoff, just like in every other sports leagues, to determine a NatiOnal ChampiOn, rather than having multiple Bowl games. According to survey cOnducted by Quinnipiac University, 63 percent favor a playoff system while getting rid of the current system. Only 26 percent favor On keeping the BCS (Bowl ChampiOnship Series) system. Even the President of our natiOn, Barack Obama favors a playoff system in college football. This issue was even involved in the U.S. COngress. The House was planning On passing a legislatiOn to remove the current BCS system and implement a playoffs to decide a NatiOnal ChampiOn. However, 48 percent of the fans do not think it's a good idea for COngress to get involved with this, while 45 percent do. The COngress hasn't dOne anything yet. I persOnally believe that the COngress should stay out of this and worry about much more important government issues

I'm learning more about the Haiti Earthquake right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is what will happen next? I was researching this question online, and this news item caught my attention because it shows people laying die and crying for those who die. The title is Devasting Earthquake hits Haiti- New York Times. Something that appear on this article is " Huge swaths of Haiti's capital lay in ruins on Wednesday following a devastating earthquake, and thousands were feared dead. Displaced residents in Port-au-Prince, the capital." People cryng for their relatives who die. Another summary is where this woamn is walking past bodies . " A woman walked past bodies in Port-au-Prince. The Haitian president, René Préval, told The Miami Herald that the death toll was "unimaginable." The quote that I choose was " Parliament has collapsed," President Préval was quoted as saying. "The tax office has collapsed. Schools have collapsed. Hospitals have collapsed. There are a lot of schools that have a lot of dead people in them." The streets were strewn with rubble." How sad to know that innocent children die while they were learning having an education! I think this is strong because many people, good people die on this earthquake attack. It's sad to know that people was stuck in schools, buildings, houses, and they can't get out. And most of the people who survive they end u dieing later on.
