Nitrogen Passport

1. Why didn't everybody go to the same stations in the same order?
Because at first, everybody stand in the different station, and then when each person throw the die, the die won't be the same number as everybody throw. So every time, won't have a lot of people stay in the same station.

2. Did you go to the same station twice? Id so, what does this tell us about cycles?
Yes, at the end, I go to the same station just like start from the beginning. And I think it tell us whenever we go to the different station, at the end it will go back to the same station just like the beginning, so that means it will start all over again.
3. Was there one station that seemed to have a lot of people at it? Why or why not?
No, because it is different when everyone throw the die, there's no specific number for each person, and the reason why is because if some people's first station was in "Animal Waste (Juegan)" and if he throw the die in his 5 station, maybe he will move to different station, but the chance that he throw back to "Animal Waste" was very big.
4. What do you think the point of this activity was?
I think this activity was telling about us, if we are the things, then we will have many travel to many different place, and then at the end we will back just like the beginning, and then start all over again...

Blood Red Horse-interesting stuff

In this book "Blood Red Horse"
it happen a lot of interesting things, and the first one is:
How Gavin tell someone about Will's bad things.
When William was riding his horse, and Gavin told everybody
his horse was like a pony, so that means William was riding a pony.
And the other one is after that, Gavin throw William's lovely horse
to the castle's moat. And then William was get more angry for Gavin.
For First Sir Thomas, he move to the north of England,
at that time, the King of England was call " King Rachard"
And I think First Sir Thomas was mighty, because in this book
the book describe First Sir Thomas was like an old man.
But After that, the book continue say at the middle ages,
when the people have war with another country, the people
who live in north part of England, at that time, they don't have
their own house, so they have to build the house by themselves.
But they don't have time, because they all spend the time on war.
So First Sir Thomas help them to build all the house during the war time.

So that's what I read so far, Hope you understand :)

Benjamin Button TED talk

In the video " Benjamin Button TED talk", the man who shows the video was present how to use technology to make a old man. The beginning, they using the animation to make a old man, At first it was start from the man, and then the get the man's face shape, and using the dot to depict the shape, and then using the computer to draw the face, in the beginning, use the easiest way, like using the face without no eyes, mouth, nose.... and only the face shape, and the face shape was in 2D, which is mean you cannot see the chin, only the surface of the face. After that, in this 3D one(picture), you can not see very clear in that face, like the eyes, nose, mouth, so the is how to make 3D surface of human's face.

And down the second picture, it's 4D, because in this picture, it shows the old man's facial feature, and time was in a part of 4D, too. And in the left one with the right one, and the left one is without background, the right one is with the background, you can see how different between those two, what I think of those two picture was, the picture without background was not like a real old man, most of the people can easy see that this old man was make from computer, but the right one with the background, you will think that old man was really in this world. So you can know how real when you using animation to make a video, or the movie, because it can let the people think how real is that.
