Chapter 2 Essay From Nothingss

Mesopotamian geography affected the history, religion, and government to base on controlled. Mesopotamia was located between the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers. Both of the rivers had unpredictable flood, which destroyed crops and killed many people. So, the Mesopotamians created irrigation system for the water domestication. Then the irrigation brought fertile soil and that area became cradle of life and the Fertile Crescent.
Mesopotamia had a controlled history. City states of Sumer; Ur and Uruk were formed. Soon, the first empire in the world rose to power. Akkadian empire under the ruled of King Sargon conquered the surrounding land because they want the fertile soil. Soon, a new empire called the Babylonian Empire defeated the Akkadian empire. Babylonian was ruled by King Hammurabi. Later on, Babylonians were defeated to Assyrian Empire. Assyrian dominated the area by conquering many land. However, the Assyrian Empire came to an end and Persian Empire rose to power again. Persian Empire was ruled by King Cyrus, known as the merciful king.
Religion and government were controlled. The Epic of Gilgamesh was the domestication of the wild man and Epic of Gilgamesh showed that Mesopotamians believed that water is destructive. Gods are furious and angry. During the Babylonian Empire, people were ruled by the Hammurabi’s code which is another example of human domestication. Hammurabi’s code was about justice, retribution, and deterrence. The Assyrian Empire was ruled by terror. It caused people to live in fear, so there are no rebels and troubles.
Egyptian geography affected the history, religion, and government to become regular, stable, and predictable. Egyptians lied along the Nile River. The Nile River had a predictable flood, so it brought fertile soil regularly. Therefore the people don’t need to create irrigation system. Then the people believed that the Nile River is their god and they start worshipping the river and create religious story about the river.
The regular history of Egypt consists of three major parts: The Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom and the New Kingdom. Each kingdom was ruled by pharaoh, vizier, and bureaucracy. The Middle Kingdom was the highest peak of Egyptian. They expanded the land widely. However, the Egyptians were defeated by Hyksos. But Egyptians were smart enough to learn the war strategies of Hyksos, so they were able to recover their kingdom again. Even though, the new kingdom was formed, it was never as powerful as the Middle Kingdom.
The Egyptian government and religion were predictable. They created the story the Miracle of the Nile. The Miracle of the Nile was about Osiris resurrection and the predictable flood that brought fertile soil. The Egyptians were also theocratic and polytheistic.
Central Asian nomads’ geography affected the history, religion, and government to become chaotic, less stable, and less regular. The Central Asian nomads lived in an arid climate where there is no river, which was a lot different from Egyptian and Mesopotamian. They were also in between the Egyptian and Mesopotamian, so they were forced to move constantly. Therefore, they were pastoral nomads (not hunter-gatherers) and stateless wanderers.
Central Asia Nomad (chaotic)
The history of Central Asia Nomad was chaotic. Canaanites were the first people to live there. Then the Hebrew that escaped from Egypt by the helped of Moses united with other Hebrew tribes and attack Canaanites. At the same time, Sea People from the Mediterranean came and fight the Canaanites. The Hebrew became the United Kingdom and the Sea people became Philistines. After King Solomon’s death, the United Kingdom was split into two kingdoms: Kingdom of Judah and Kingdom of Israel. Kingdom of Israel were attacked by the Assyrian Empire, which there were 10 lost tribes that escaped. The Kingdom of Judah was attacked by the Second Babylonian Empire and was enslaved. However, after the rose of Persian Empire, King Cyrus freed the Jews and let them go back and lived at the land.
Geography also shaped the religion and government to be unpredictable. The pastoral nomads need to move constantly, so they need an omnipresent mobile god. They created the religion called Judaism, which was monotheism and Yahweh was their only god. Abraham was the founder of Judaism. He had two sons, Isaac and Ishmael. Later on, Isaac on was the founder of Christianity and Ishmael was the founder of Islam. Another famous prophet in Judaism was Moses. Moses helped the Hebrew slaves in Egypt to escape. Yahweh also gave Moses the Ten Commandment and every Jewish people need to follow it.
Geography mostly affected Thailand same as Egyptian. Thai history, religion, and government mostly were regular.

Chapter 2 Review Sheet

D. Assyrian Empire, Kings had absolute powers and laws, people are good at conquering others. (Rule by terror)
E. Second Babylonian Empire, King Nebuchanezzar ruled by money, his time was luxurious, therefore the splendor pf Chaldean Babylonian proved to be short-lived.
Splendor- built Hanging Garden (for one of his wives) + Tower of Babel

Physical Science Review Sheet for Mid-Term EXAM o___O from VIVIAN

Physical Science Review Sheet for Mid-Term EXAM o___O From Vivian Krub

Introduction of Matter
Chapter 1

1) What is matter?
 Matter is anything that has mass and take up space. (3 different types of matter)
a) Solid
b) Liquid
c) Gas
 Volume is how much space something takes up (liquid + solid).
a) Regular shape volume: L x W x H = cm3, m3, km3
b) Volume of Liquid: Cylinder
c) Irregular shaped solid: drop in water in cylinder, and see how much H2O is displaced. 1ml=1cm3
 Mass is what an object made out. (kg, g, mg)
 Weight: Mass x Gravity (Gravity on Earth: 9.8m/s)
 Density: Mass
Volume
 Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist being moved. The more massive an object is, the greater its inertia.
 Things will float in water if the object is less than 1 g/ml, if it’s over then it will sink. Things float better in salt water because salt water is denser, it has more density.
2) Physical Properties
 Physical properties can describe what an object is without changing the object’s identity.
 PHYSICAL CHANGES DO NOT CHANGE WHAT THE OBJECT IS, AND PHYSICAL CHANGES YOU COULD REVERSE IT!
 Examples of Physical Properties: Thermal Conductivity (conduct heat, transfer heat), Solubility (dissolve easily), Ductility (could be pulled into wire), Malleability (could be rolled into thin sheets), Color, Shape, Size, Texture, Weight, Volume, Density, Magnetic, State, Smell, Odor, Thermal Conductivity
 Some examples of Physical Changes: Melting metals, melting ice, cutting paper, crushed aluminum can…
3) Chemical Properties
 Chemical properties are a property of matter that describes a substance’s ability to participate in chemical reactions.
 Another word for chemical change is a “Reaction”.
 CHEMICAL CHANGES CHANGE WHAT IT IS, FORM SOMETHING NEW, AND IT COULDN’T BE CHANGE BACK!
 Examples of Chemical Properties: Bubbles formation, release of gas, change in temperature, fire, smoke, light, change in smells, interaction, rusted, flammability, reactivity.
 Some examples of Chemical Changes: soured milk, fireworks.
 Understand the lab we had done about Physical and Chemical Reaction. (White before your eyes)

Chapter 2

1) Types of Matter
 Solid: particle are closed together, they don’t move fast enough to break the bonds. Shape and Volume stays the same.
 Liquid: particle starts to move fast enough to get away from each other, but don’t fully break apart. Shape changes, but volume stays the same.
 Gas: particle moving so fast that it is fully broken apart. Volume and shape changes.
 Amorphous solids: solids that don’t have a specific arrangement. (Ex. Gel, Wax, Clay.)
 Crystalline solids: solids with a definable shape. (Ex. Crystal, diamond, Safire.)
 Two properties of Liquid:
a) Surface tension: when molecules of H2O at the surface come close together, and act like solid. (Small insects could walk on it)
b) Viscosity: how well liquid flow. (High viscosity: Honey, oil) (Low viscosity: Water, milk)
2) Behavior of gases
 Pressure
a) Forces that press together (compress, squeeze, crunch)
b) If pressure increased on gas, molecules hit each other often.
 Temperature increases, volume increases. (Gas)
 Boyle’s Law: States that at a constant Temperature, the volume and pressure of a gas are inversely (indirectly) proportional.
a) As pressure increases then volume decreases.
b) As Volume increases then pressure decreases.
c) P x V = K (Constant)  Temperature have to stays the same.
 Charles’s Law: States that temperature and volume are directly proportional with a constant pressure for a GAS.
a) As temperature increases then volume increases.
b) As temperature decreases then volume decreases.
c) Volume
Temperature
 It takes lesser time to boil water because at sea level the water boils when the temperature reach 100C, but up at mountain it only need to reach 90C.

3) Changes of state
 Names for each state change:
a) Sublimation- Solid  Gas
b) Boiling- Liquid  Gas
c) Melting- Solid  Liquid (Endothermic)
d) Freezing- Liquid  Solid (Exothermic)
e) Evaporation- Liquid  Gas
f) Condensation- Gas  Liquid
**Boiling is L  G its boiling point. Evaporation is L  G below the boiling point. **
**Condensation is clouds, when water vapor was form when gas cools down. **
**Sublimation (solid carbon-dry ice), doesn’t melt, skip liquid and form gas.
 The energy that is added during a change of state is used to break the attractions between particles. So, the temperature does not change until the change of state is complete.
 Understand about the lab we do on Boiling and freezing of water. (A Hot and Cool).

Chapter 3

1) Elements
 An elements is made up by atoms, is a pure substance, they can’t be separate, but they can combine to make other substance. They are the simplest substance, and it could be change both in physically and chemically.
 Different properties of elements
a) Metals: good conductors of heat and electricity, and they are shinny. Malleable, and also ductile.
b) Nonmetals: poor conductors of heat and electricity, and it tend to be brittle and unmalleable.
c) Metalloids: also called semi-conductors. They have properties both metals and nonmetals. Some are shiny, some are dull, and some metalloids are good conductors of heat and electric current as well.
2) Compounds
 A pure substance that is made up of elements.
 Substances are made up of combination of atoms are called molecules.
 The ratio of compound is always constant.
 In compound if you change the ratio of it, it will be totally different things.
 Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances only by chemical changes (apply heat or electric current).

3) Mixtures
 Two or more substances are put together physically, and can be separated physically.
 Ways to separate mixture:
a) Magnets
b) Filtering
c) Distillation (heating)
d) Separated by density (centrifuge)
 The ratio for mixture is not constant.
 Solution is a mixture that appears to be a single substance. A solute is dissolve in solvent. And the solution looks like the solvent, its appear if the solute is gone/
 Concentration: percentage of solute in a solvent.
a) Dilute: weak solution
b) Concentrated: strong solution
 As temperature increases, the solubility of solid in liquid increases, and the solubility of gas decrease.
 Heating, mixing, and crushing could help increases the solubility of a solid in liquid.
 Colloid is very similar to suspension but the particle ado not settles to the bottom. They are all over the place. (Ex. Jelly)
 Suspension the particle does not dissolve in solvent, but the particle is massive enough to settle to the bottom.
 Understand the lab about Flame test.

Chapter 4

1) Atomic Theory
 In 440 B.C. A Greek philosopher Democritus says that you can divide matter into certain point, after that you can not divide anymore. Atoms, which in Greek mean can not be divided.
 Dalton’s theory of the atom. Atomic theory:
a) All substances are made of atoms. Atoms are small particles that cannot be created, divided, or destroyed.
b) Atoms of the same element are exactly alike, and atoms of different elements are different.
c) Atoms join with other atoms to make new substances.
 Thomson’s prove that electrons exist. He found that negatively charged particle exists, and he called it “Electron”  Electricity.
a) Thomson’s models was the chocolate chips one, and he’s experiment is the one that almost all gas was removed from the glass tube.
 Rutherford proves that proton exists, gave a better general shape of atoms.
a) Rutherford he did “gold-foil experiment”, and the result is that there are some particles bounced straight back rather than passes straight through the gold foil.
 Neutron: no charge, cause proton/electron to move, mass (1 amu).
 Proton to establish # of proton in each element, look at atomic number. Proton gives elements positive charge, mass (1 amu), and its identity.
 Number of proton: atomic number
 Number of neutron: atomic mass(p+n) – atomic # (p) = # of neutron
 Isotopes are elements that are the same type of element but have different atomic masses. (Same # of proton, but different # of neutron)
a) Example of isotopes: H-2 (1 proton, 1 neutron), C-12 (6 protons, 6 neutrons), Si-29 (14 protons, 15 neutrons), etc.
 Forces in atom:
a) Gravitational force: a force that pull all object together. (As mass increase, gravity increase.)
b) Electromagnetic force: a force that repels same charges, and attract opposite charge. (P+,E- kept together with this force)
c) Strong force: this force is stronger than the electromagnetic force and keeps P+ inside the nucleus.

Chapter 5:

 Grouping the elements:
 Group 1 Alkali Metals (Famous known: Sodium, Potassium)
 It is extremely reactive, so reactive that they are not found alone in the nature.
 Group 2 Alkaline Earth Metals (Famous known: Calcium)
 Reactive but not as reactive as group one. Have 2 electrons in out shell, and give away the 2 electrons.
 Group 3-12 Transition Metals (Famous known: Silver, Copper)
 As you move from LR become less and less metallic, these can have 1, 2, or 1 or 2 electrons in the outer level.
 Group 13 Boron group (Famous known: Aluminum)
 3 electrons in the out level, gives out 3 electrons, somewhat reactive.
 Group 14 Carbon Group (Famous known: Carbon, Tin)
 4 electrons in the outer level, these elements share electrons, combine. Not reactive, because sharing and combining.
 Group 15 Nitrogen Group (Famous known: Nitrogen)
 5 electrons in the outer level, it will gain 3 electrons from metals, or share with other non-metal.

 Group 16 Oxygen Group (Famous known: Oxygen)
 6 electrons in the outer level, either gain 2 electrons from Metals, or share with other non-metal.
 Group 17 Halogens Group (Famous known: Chlorine, Iodine)
 7 electrons in the outer level, either gain 1 electron, or share. Extremely reactive
 Group 18 Noble Gases (Famous known: Argon)
 Not reactive, because they already have a full out level.
 Horizontal row of elements are called period, period also show the number of energy level (electron level).
 Vertical column of elements are called group or family, group also show the number of electrons in the outer most level.

Semester Exam Essay (Chapters 4 & 5) – Compare and Contrast Greece with Rome

There were many factors that lead to the Rise of the Roman Republic and the fall of the Roman Empire similarly to Greece. The first factor that led to the rise of roman republic and democracy is geography. Greek’s geography started out as a mountainous peninsula with many islands, and they had no major unifying river; therefore, people were isolated in small communities, which allowed people to participate in politics. This made people became fiercely independent rivalries. Unlike Rome, the Roman’s geography was different. Rome started out as an Italian peninsula with the Apennine mountain range on the East, so they had large fertile plain on the west. They also had the Tiber River as their major unifying river. Since the people were not isolated by mountains, the Greeks, the Latin, and the Etruscans were mixed together, and so Rome was unified into the ‘Roman Confederation’. Both Greece and Rome’s geography was the start that led to the development of democracy.

The Greeks value Arête or ‘heroic excellence’ the most. Therefore, this made the people want to have courage, honor, and heroism, and for them to strive for immortality which benefited themselves only. The Greeks’ value made people compete against each other, so people were more independent individuals. Example of a Greek hero is Achilles in Homer’s Epic. The Romans valued duty, courage, and self-discipline. It is mainly the idea of ‘fulfilling your duty/responsibility’; and this is how Rome got its democracy back. An example is how Cincinnatus (Livy’s history of Rome) led Rome to victory, and then he resign. This taught the Romans to be independent and a responsible person, unlike Achilles who only strive for his own immortality, but rather for the Roman Republic.

Greek’s war included the Peloponnesian war (Sparta vs. Athens) and the Persian war (Athens vs. Persians). The wars in Greek encouraged people to compete between city-states, which therefore lead to the development of democracy. For the Romans, they had the Punic wars (Rome vs. Carthaginians/Phoenicians). The Romans were defeated by the Carthaginians in the first and the second Punic wars by Hannibal’s strategy. But the third Punic war the Romans burned and demolished all of the Carthage city’s buildings and sold the people as slaves. The Roman legionnaire or the generals joined legion as a tour of duty and Rome pay them as spoils of war. The spoils of war are whatever they take or steal from the others, and the Romans got rich by this. They also believed that the reason the Romans were so successful is because they believed in Cincinnatus’ virtues of duty and simplicity, which therefore leads to the Roman’s glory.

After the wars, the Roman Confederation turned into the Roman Republic. This is when they were a unified country under a central democratic government. They had 2 counsels and 2 Praetors, the Patricians and the Plebeians. The Patricians were the upper house aristocrats, and they had 300 senators and central assemblies. The Plebeians were the commoners, and they had tribunes, which are the officials who protected the Plebeians. They also had the council of Plebs to elect officials.

The Gracchus brothers (Tiberius and Gaius) led reform in Rome, this is a top down reform; they wanted lands from the aristocrats for the poor. The wars led to them believing that everything was deteriorating because farmers did not own land, and could no longer farm, so the Gracchus brothers wanted to give land to the poor. But the senators were corrupt and they disagreed, so they killed the Gracchus brothers. So the legion started the coup, and Sulla won, and took over military, then gave democracy back to Rome. This therefore leads to a dangerous precedent, so it foreshadows the fall of the Roman Republic.

Caesar competed for power after Crassus died, and fought until he won, and made himself the dictator. Caesar did some good deeds by giving land to the poor, but he also increased the Senate to 900 members, so this leads the power to be weakened, therefore democracy began to fell. When Octavian ruled during “the Age of Augustus”, they started new political system, which is for them to be able to choose the next emperor, so it was no longer democratic anymore! There were also 4 bad emperor (Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero), and followed by 5 good emperors (Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius). The military dictatorship and triumvirates led to the fall of Roman Empire because after Caesar’s rule and the new political system that came up, it was no longer democratic. The expansion of empire by the next emperors also led to trading, and allowing Roman citizenship, this therefore separated the rich and the poor (no middle ground, no middle class).

The idea of ‘Bread and Circuses’ was another feature of the falling part of democracy in Rome. They believed that by giving them enough food and entertainment, and then the people will be satisfied and they won’t rebel anymore. Their ‘slaves’ came from “the spoils of wars”, therefore the labors didn’t have jobs anymore because they could hire slaves at cheaper prices. The Romans also had gladiator shows such as in ‘circus maximus’, where they would let the two slaves/gladiators fight until one is killed, and chariot races. So from these examples, it showed how the government doesn’t care about the people at all. Therefore this also showed how the Romans had lost the capacity to govern themselves, because they were distracted by self-satisfaction (bread and circuses) only, so the senate bankrupted the treasury and no one worked in the army to help protect the empire and led to the fall of the Roman Empire.

The Romans believed in Christianity. Christianity was led by Jesus the messiah and his 12 Apostles also help spread. It offers the people a sense of salvation and belonging, this gave people a purpose in life, and it benefited people especially the poor, because it accepted people no matter what sin they had done in the past, you are forgiven as long as you believe in Christianity. The rich senators and old priests did not approve the idea of people calling Jesus “the King of heaven’, therefore they crucified him on a cross and persecuted Christianity. However, Constantine himself even converted to Christianity. So this led to the loss of cultural dominance. This proves that “When in Rome, not all everyone do as the Romans do.”

During the Economic Crisis and Invasions in Rome, there were labor shortages led by plagues or diseases that killed vast amount of people. There were farm production decline, because invaders took over their farmlands, this affected both the military and economy. There were also inflations, where the price of goods and services were increased. Many invaders took advantage when the Rome was in trouble and started to invade Rome. The Huns moved in from Asia, then the Visigoths crashed Rome, and the Vandals also sacked Rome at last. This was when Rome collapsed and separated into Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire. The WRE fell first, and the ERE lasted a thousand years later until it eventually fell. Therefore, this also proves that “Not all roads lead to Rome”.

*Thailand has many similar factors that led Thailand to being democratic and possible predictions of the falling of democracy. Thailand’s geography, with some mountains in some areas, and having the Chao Phraya River as the major unifying river, therefore it makes it similar to Rome. The river unites the people, and is the basic living of people.
Thailand also had wars when we date back to its history, the war with the Burmese. At first Thailand was defeated by Burma, and they took over Ayutthaya, but Thailand got King Taksin started a new war, and took over our land back from the Burmese. It was similar to Roman’s Punic Wars, where they got back their land at last.
There were also coup from last year, where the military army took over the government, people were not satisfied with elections, and they start to fight against each other in many groups. This also led to a dangerous precedent, therefore it is possible that dictatorship might step over and take control instead.
(3/4 Rising)

Thailand also had dictatorships for several periods, when the coup starts, and chaos comes in, a new dictator step out to claim for power correspondingly to Caesar. People were also affected by many entertainments and new technologies that they forget about the work or their duty, which is the reason why Thai people are mostly lazy and always take shortcuts in completing a work. There were also times when economic crisis occurs, when inflation comes in, farm productions get shortened and there was a big economic crash. Invaders (such as the Burmese or the others) could take advantage of this, and defeat Thailand more easily. Because Thailand also had economic crisis and invasions (possibilities), a prediction might be that Thailand could be separated into two parts/countries, in order to settle all the political problems Thailand is facing now.
(3/4 – Falling)

*Thailand has 3/4 factors that lead to democracy, but on the other hand, it also has ¾ factors of the falling of democracy possibilities, therefore it can be concluded that there is a 50/50% chance of Thailand rising as a democratic country and falling as a dictatorial country judging from the Rome’s criteria of developments of democracy.

Dorothy lived in Kansas
Dorothy house was small, no room. They have cyclone cellar. Every thing in the town is gray
Dorothy stood in the doorway with Toto in her arms and watch the sky while uncle Henry was sitting there too and watch the sky
Aunt Em was washing dishes
They sensed the incoming storm
Aunt Em warned Dorothy
Toto jumped out of Dorothy and hid under the bed while others were already in the cellar
Cyclone blew Dorothy and Toto
Toto fell into the trapdoor, but Dorothy pulled his ear up
Cyclone stopped, her house fell, and they fell asleep
They woke up and meet the munchkins (three men one woman)
From her sight, the men were about his uncle age
The Munchkins appreciated Dorothy for killing the Wicked Witch of the East
Dorothy talked to the Witch of the North
Her house fell on the Wicked Witch of the East , she was innocent
She realized that this is the land of Oz not Kansas
Old woman gave Dorothy the silver shoes and she recommended Dorothy to see the Oz
Munchkins told Dorothy to follow the Yellow Brick Road
The Witch of the North kissed Dorothy's forehead
Dorothy went back to her house and rest
Dorothy tried the shoes
Dorothy started her journey
To pass a night she rested with Boq (the richest Munchkins that lived around there)
She continued to walk in the morning and decided not to turn back
She reached the corn field and rescued the Scarecrow
Scarecrow needed brains, so he joined Dorothy
Scarecrow told Dorothy that he scared a lighted match
On their trip the Scarecrow sometimes had a hard time to walk and fell into the holes
At noon Dorothy ate some, but Scarecrow told her that he won't feel hungry
Dorothy told her story, she missed her home
Scarecrow told his story
They continued walking and slept in the cottage in the forest
They searched for water (Found a little spring)
They heard groan and met the Tin Woodman (Toto hurt his teeth from biting the tin)
Dorothy oiled the Tin Woodman
Tin Woodman needed a heart, so he joined Dorothy and told his story
They walked through the forest
Met the Cowardly Lion. Lion tried to scare them but failed
Lion told his story and he wanted courage, so he joined Dorothy
Tin Woodman felt unhappy when he stepped on bugs
They passed a night under the tree and find own breakfast
They found two ditch and a kalidahs
Lion stopped them with his roar and the woodman cut the tree to them
They found a river
Make a raft, but it went down stream
Scarecrow stuck in the middle with his pole
Lion swam and pull the raft up the shore
They reach Poppy field and ask stork to pick the Scarecrow up
Fell asleep and Lion was left alone (too heavy)
Wild cat chased the field mouse, but the Tin Woodman cut the wild cat
The mouse thank you them
They met the queen mice and ask them to helped the Lion
They made a truck and carried the Lion out
They ate dinner
They came to the house that was painted in green. They were now knew that this must be the emerald city
Dorothy passed the night with a woman in the green house, and they talked about Oz
The next morning they reached the Emerald city and met the guardian of the gates
They got the green glasses
The guardian said if they didn't wear the glasses the city will blind them (too bright)
Everything painted in green...cloth, hat, candies, pop corn, or even money
They went inside the Palace of Oz and waited in the room led by a young green girl
They must waited until tomorrow
Oz decided to see Dorothy because she was wearing a silver shoe and she had a kiss
The bell rang. Dorothy got into the throne room. She explain everything to Oz (She saw the big head)
Oz told Dorothy to kill the Wicked Witch of the West and he will send her home
The next morning the Scarecrow went to see Oz and the answer is to kill the Wicked Witch of the West (He saw the lady)
The next day the Tin Woodman was ordered to kill the Wicked Witch of the West (He saw the beast)
The next day the Lion was asked to kill the Wicked Witch of the West (He saw a ball of fire)
They started a search for the Wicked Witch of the West and rest
They returned the glasses
There was no road that lead to the west, and she must becareful not to be the Wicked Witch of the West's slave
The Wicked Witch of the West saw Dorothy and company coming to her land, so she sent the wolves to kill them, but Tin Woodman chopped them down
Next morning the witch sent crows to Dorothy, but Scarecrow killed them. She also sent down the black bees, but they can't hurt Tin Woodman. She now sent the Winkies, but they scare the Lion.
The Wicked Witch sent the Winged Monkeys. Monkeys threw Tin Woodman to the sharp rock and tear the Scarecrow in pieces, then wounded the Lion and get him with Dorothy and Toto tp the Witch's castle
The Witch didn't kill Dorothy
Thw Wicked Witch waited for Dorothy to take a bath then she will steal the shoes, so While bathing Dorothy threw the bucket of water to the Witch and she melted. The Wicked Witch of the West was dead

Freshmen's Trip

To all Freshmen,



We are having a trip to Pattaya ( 100% sure) during the month of February if there is no delay.

That means that all of us will get to go. It was planned to be a community service trip where we would go and help out the orphans, handicaps, street kids, etc, but at the same time have some fun. Therefore you should start acting professional in front of your parent(s) by January, so they can let you go. It would be a 3 days and 2 nights, where we will leave the campus Friday after school if I am not mistaken. We haven't know the cost yet, but it will be announce asap.

Hope to see you there.



PS. all info. can vary, it depends on Mr. A

หยุดได้แล้ว

หยุดทะเลาะกันได้แล้วเดี๋ยวก็โดนสั่งให้ปิิดบล๊อกหรอก

หยุดเถอะ "กูกราบละ"

ก่อนอื่นขอบอกไว้เลยย ว่าไม่ได้เข้าข้างใครทั้งนั้นแหละ เรื่องของพี่ไชรัตก็น่าเศร้าอยู่หลอกแต่นั้นก็เพราะพี่ไชรัตคิดในทางแง่ลบเกินไปเอง ไม่ใช่ไม่มีใครสนใจพี่ไชรัตซักหน่อย มีคนพยายามจะเป็นเพื่อนด้วยตั้งเยอะ แต่พี่ไชรัตกลับไม่รับเอง หรือถ้ารับแล้วก็โปรดให้เขาคนนั้นรู้ด้วยว่าเป็นเพื่อนกัน อย่าไปด่าหรือทำร้ายเขา แล้วก็มีคนตั้งกี่ล้านคนที่เจอเหตุการ์ณที่เลวร้ายกว่านี้เยอะ เพราะฉะนั้นมองโลกในแง่ดีเข้าไว้แล้วทุกอย่างจะดีขึ้นเอง ถ้าทุกคนเกิดมาดีทุกอย่างก็เหมือนขึ้นสวรรค์แล้ว แต่นี้ทุกคนเกิดมาก็มีเรื่องเศร้าทั้งนันไม่ใช่ว่าชีวิตทุกคนจะ"perfect" จะมีทุกข์หรือไม่มีนั้นมันขึ้นอยู่กับตัวเราเอง ถ้าเราคิดในแง่ดีชีวิตก็จะมีความสุขและอายุยาวขึ้น มันไม่มีไรดีหลอกที่เอาแต่คิดในแง่ลบ...

ตอนนี้พี่ไชรัตก็มีแฟนแล้ว ก็น่าจะรู้ว่าชีวิตก็มีสิ่งที่ความสุข ไม่ใช่เศร้าไปซะตลอด แล้วถ้าพี่ไชรัตมีความสุขที่ได้อยู่กับเขาคนนั้น ก็จงอย่ารีบด่วนตายและอยู่ต่อไป ไม่มีใครดีใจหลอกที่พี่ไชรัตตายไป มีแต่จะเสียใจ การที่เสียคนรู้จักไปนะ มันไม่ดีขนาดไหนทุกคนก็น่าจะรู้ดี คงไม่ต้องให้เอ็มพูด
พวกเราก็เหมือนกัน เลิกแกล้งพี่ไชรัตกับล้อพี่ไชรัตได้แล้ว พวกเราก็มีส่วนผิดที่พี่ไชรัตเป็นงี้ ทุกคนผิดกันได้... เพราะฉะนั้นให้โอกาสพี่ไชรัตใหม่เถอะ เลิกเอาแต่ทะเลาะกันได้แล้วไม่มีไรดีขึ้นหลอก
ทุกคนควรรักกันไว้ ไม่ใช่มาทะเลาะกันแบบนี้ เป็นเพื่อนกันนะ พวกเราอยู่ร่วมโลกเดียวกัน อยู่ประเทศเดียวกัน อยู่โรงเรียนเดียวกัน อยู่ห้องเดียวกัน อยู่ในครอบครัวเดียวกันที่เรียกว่า"เพื่อนและพี่น้อง" ถ้าขาดใครไปซักคนก็ไม่เหมือนเดิม หรืออะไรจะดีขึ้น
ทุกคนมีค่าหมด อย่างน้อยก็1คนในโลกที่เห็นเรามีค่า ถ้าตายไปไม่คิดมั้งหรอว่าจะทำให้คนที่ห่วงใย รักเราเสียใจร้องไห้

พวกเราก็ยังเด็กกันทุกคนแหละ ยังมีเรื่องให้เรียนรู้อีกเยอะ เพราะฉะนั้นหยุดเถอะเรื่องแบบนี้ กลับไปเป็นเพื่อนกันเหมือนเดิม
อย่าทำให้ต้องเจ็บปวดกว่านี้เลย...
"กูขอร้องละ"

วิธีการจำลิสแบบง่ายๆ

สรุปง่ายๆ เวลาจำของหรือคำที่อยากจำ โดยจำเป็นเรื่องหรือนิทาน เหมือนวิชาHistory ที่มีข้อมูลเยอะมากแต่เพราะจำเป็นนิทานหรือเรื่องทำให้จำเรื่องราวได้ง่าย คนเราจำภาพหรือคำพูดได้แม่นกว่าการอ่านเฉ่ยๆ ยิ่งสร้างเรื่องราวให้ดูเว่อร์มากเท่าไหร่ก็ยิ่งจำได้ง่ายขึ้น ไม่ต้องอายว่าพลังจินตนการนั้นของเราจะเป็นยังไง เพราะคนที่เห็นจินตนการนี้ก็คือเราคนเดียวนั้นเอง (ถ้าคนที่อ่านความคิดในสมองได้ก็อีกเรื่อง) เพราะฉะนั้นปล่อยจินตนการเราให้โลดแล่นไปเลยยยย อย่าไปกักมันน แล้วเราก็จะจำได้มากขึ่นและแม่นยำ

แค่นี้แหละครับบบ~ หวังว่าคงมีประโยชน์ สำหรับคนหลายคนนะ^ ^

ถ้าอยากดูวิธีการจำวิธีนี้แบบละเอียดก็อ่านโพสทีชื่อว่า How to Remember List ปายย ถ้ามีอะไรสงสัยหรือไม่เข้าใจก็ถามแล้วกัน- -

ถ้าถูกใจเดียวมีวิธีการจำแบบอื่นๆมาให้อีกเน้อออ

How to Remember Lists

Remembering things may be hard for you yeah? But if you are said to write down everything you remember today, you would be amazed of how many hundred words you remembered. Even though remembering things like these are easy but if you're told to remember a list of things or words it would prove to be challenging for many people.

Try to memorize these items in one or two minutes:
1. Plate------------------ 6. Wine Glass
2. LCD Television------- 7. Refrigerator
3. Chess Set------------ 8. Gold
4. Orange Juice-------- 9. Scientific Calculator
5. Bowling------------ 10. Falcon

For most of people in one or two minutes can remember 4-7 of these items, now if you try to use this technique from the book that I read written by Dominic O'Brien you can remember all of these items perfectly in order and even backwards in under one minute

This method require "imagination" if you imagination is more extra ordinary the more quickly and accurately you can remember things

This technique is very easy you just need to put these items in the stage of events, placing these items around your house or somewhere that you familiar with it will help you a lot!
Now if you have 10 items to remember just choose 10 stages around your house is the easiest!
Example:
Stages
1. Bedroom------ 6. Cabinet
2. Spare Room--- 7. Kitchen
3. Bathroom----- 8. Front door
4. Stairs--------- 9. Computer room
5. Living Room- 10. Windows

Now close your eyes and visualizing the stages that you created around your house, you should not have any problems remembering all these, remember it like a journey!
Using your "imagination", you are going to repeat this journey but now place all the items in these stages.

Stage 1:
I wake up in my bedroom by a plate falling on my head from no where-*-

Stage 2:
I can't sleep anymore and it's 3 in the morning so I go to spare room and turn on the LCD Television to watch something that would wake me up

Stage 3:
After I finish watching I go to the bathroom to take a shower before going to school, when I get in there I almost faint, there's a huge chess set just like the story Alice in Wonderland or Harry Potter.

Stage 4:
I don't dare taking a bath so I went down stairs and found out that the floor is very wet, there are tons of orange juice spill all over the places.

Stage 5:
I went to the living room to see what happening, I found out that my sisters are playing bowling with glasses of juice.

Stage 6:
I recalled my mother said that don't let my sisters touch the things in cabinet so I quickly put all the expensive things away like wine glass.

Stage 7:
I go the kitchen and put all these expensive things in refrigerator wishing for it safety.

Stage 8:
I go the front door to wait my father for driving me to school. While I putting on the shoes I found a gold lying there.

Stage 9:
I really surprise and estimate it weight by holding it in my hands. It is about 5 baht! And now the gold one baht is 15900 so I quickly go to my computer room to get scientific calculator to find out how much money I will get if I sell this.

Stage 10:
I found out that I will get 79500 baht if I sell this, I am very happy and shout myself out on the windows. Suddenly a falcon shove down from the sky and take away my gold in my hand.

Finish, don't limited your imagination the more extraordinary it is the more it will be easier to memorize! Don't be shy about your imagination, you're the only audience that going to watch your imagination^^

Hope this is very interesting and you guys can adapt to use it!

Annoucement-*-

History- The Greek City-States

Greek City States
polis- city state
Polis or also known as today politics became the central focus of Greek life
Polis consists two part called acropolis and agora
acropolis is on the top of the hill that was fortified area used for building temples and buildings were built, here lived the landowners or known as aristocrats
agora is located below the acropolis and used for a place for common people, market, and farmings
Polis was a community of people consisted of citizens with political rights (adult males), citizens with no political rights (women and children), and noncitizens (slaves and resident aliens).
Military system was based on hoplites
hoplites- heavily armed infantry soldiers (foot soldiers)
hoplites used the rectangular formation known as phalanx that formed a wall of shields hardly for enemy to harm them

Greek Colonies
In 750 - 550 B.C. large numbers of Greek left their homeland to settle in another lands for good farmland and the growth of trade
They set up new colonies in Thrace and along the shores of the Black Sea like Byzantium
The expansion of trade and industry created many new wealthy groups of people in many Greek city-states, these new money wanted to gain political power but can't because of the old power ruling aristocrats

Tyranny in the City-States- Rise of Democracy
Greek tyrants were rulers who wanted power by forcing the aristocrats
Greek tyrants came not only the new money/power (rich) but the poor one who were in debt with the aristocrats, also the tired of aristocrats(old power/money) that hold all the power in city-states
The tyrants finally gained power but did not last long because Greek believe in rule by law so the tyrants are thrown away
Even thought tyrants did not last long but it play an important role in Greek history, the rule of tyrants had ended the rule of aristocrats in many city-states making many people can participated in government
This led to the development of democracy, which is government by the people or ruled of the many(votes)
Some city-states still using oligarchy (rule by the few)
