How do electrolytes work in our body?

Electrolytes are substances that become ions in solution and acquire the conduct electricity. Also electrolytes are present in human body, the balance of electrolytes in our bodies is essential for normal function of our cells and organs. 
The electrolytes are measure by doctors with blood testing include sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate.
1. Sodium(Na)
Function of Sodium: (1)The water regulation in the body, since the water goes where, it is excreted by the kidney, and water follows. (2)It help the electrical in the body, allowing muscles to fire and the brain to work.
Hypernatremia, if there is to much sodium in your body, then you will dehydration, that is cause by illnesses with vomiting or diarrhea, excessive sweeting from exercise or fever, or from drinking somethings that has too high concentration of salt.
Hyponatremia, if there is too little sodium in your body, that might be cause by water intoxication, that you drink too much water, then it dilutes the sodium in the blood and overwhelms the kidney's compensation mechanism, or by a syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone secretion(SIADH).
2. Potassium 
Potassium is the most concentrated inside the cells of the body. It allows muscles and the brain to function.
Hyperkalemia, if there is too much potassium in your body, you will have heart rhythm problem.
Hypokalemia, if there is too little potassium in your body, that is because the body loses too much potassium from vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, and medications such as diuretics or laxative. It often seen in diabetic ketoacidosis, where potassium is excessively lost in the urine.

What is lightning? Why does wearing rubber shoes help you during a storm?

When flashlight switch on, the terminals of the battery are connected over the light bulb. The connection makes a voltage go over filament in the light bulb. The voltage makes the charge from a side that has the higher electrical potential energy to the side that has the lower electrical potential energy. When the moving charge defeat the resistance, the electrical energy change into other modes of energy, the light. When the electricity go over the tungsten, the filament will issue the light and heat.
Because the rubber shoes can disconnect the electricity, it's a material that isn't easily, hard to let a charge go through is called insulator. Insulator make the electricity more safety, they can keep the charge away from our body.

Bizarre food in Taiwan

We watch the Travel channel. This time the Travel channel came to Taiwan and looking for the "Bizarre food". They found a lot of bizarre food that Taiwan has, Stinky dou fu, Fry dou fu, Dou fu with one thousand-years-egg, Chicken bottom, Uterus, Black bone, Coffin bread, Testicle......
- Dou fu with one thousand-year-egg: Cut the one thousand-year egg and Dou fu(haven't cook), some Green onion put them all together, then become the Dou fu with one thousand-year-egg. The foreigner thinks that this food is bad, and he don't like it. For me, I think that is not bad, I really like to eat the Dou fu that haven't cook, I think that tasted really tender, and the one thousand-year-egg is not bad too.
-Roast shrimp: In the movie, they catch the shrimps and roast them, and eat them. The foreigner thinks that is good. For me, the steps that I eat the shrimps is the same, but how I catch is different, I used the fishing pole and put on the bait, there is a big pool, and there are a lot of shrimps, the taste was good, because that just got caught, so they are very fresh.
-Testicle: It is the chicken-balls. For the foreigner, he thins that it taste really good, just like the milk jello put in the paper thin balloon, and it explode in his mouth. I like to eat the testicle so much, it taste so good, my grandma put it in the hot pot.

Humanities

Medieval or The Middle Ages. We think of knights in shining armor, lavish banquets, wandering minstrels, kings, queens, bishops, monks, pilgrims, and glorious pageantry. And when I think about Rome, the things is emperor. In the Rome the emperor is the ruler, but in the Middle Ages, the pope is more powerful than the king. These is related to the religion, the main religion for the depend on the emperor. For the Middle Ages, the main religion is Christianity. If there is a person that has some relationship with them, then they can't go to haven when they died. 

When it was in the Rome, that was more peace, because all the Italy was govern by a emperor, a person. The Middle Ages had a lot of war, and King give many lands to nobles, knights..., the King didn't own the whole country.

Traveling Nitrogen passport

1. Why didn’t everybody go to the same stations in the same order?

I think is because the dais won't give the same number to all of the people, that is same as the Nitrogen won't be the same thing at one time.


2. Did you go to the same station twice? If so, what does this tell us about cycles?

Yes, I do go to the same station twice, I went to the live plants. I think it tell us that the Nitrogen don't need to follow the cycle at all, it will change the step, but it still the Nitrogen.


3. Was there one station that seemed to have a lot of people at it? Why or why not?

Yes, I think the Atmosphere has more people at one time. I think that is because  their is more people got Atmosphere number, that is same as their is more Nitrogen transform to the Atmosphere.


4.  What do you think the point of this activity was?

Learn how does the Nitrogen transform to the different things, and how is the Nitrogen cycle works.

Feudalism

Feudalism

In medieval Europe feudalism was the dominant form of political organization in medieval Europe. It was a level of social relationships wherein a noble lord granted land known as a fief to a free man, who in turn swore fealty to the lord as his vassal and agreed to provide military and other services. A vassal could also be a lord, granting portions of the land he held to other free vassals; this was known as "subinfeudation," and often led all the way up to the king. The land granted to each vassal was inhabited by serfs who worked the land for him, providing him with income to support his military endeavors; in turn, the vassal would protect the serfs from attack and invasion.

The Knight

In the Middle Ages there are wars, King and noble need some stronger soldier, so they will discipline the young boy. Discipline a knight need 14 years, before they become the knight, they have to attend the noble woman.Knights have to learn how to fight and so serve their liege Lord according to the Code of Chivalry.Knight should be brave and fearless in battle but would also exhibit cultured Knightly qualities showing themselves to be devout, loyal, courteous and generous.Knighthood in the Middle Ages was a long and arduous task. Knighthood was not bestowed purely because a young man was the son of a noble. The steps towards achieving a knighthood started with training as a page and then as a squire, also referred to as esquire.The Knights job in the Middle Ages centred around enhancing their Knightly skills in the use of weapons, horsemanship and medieval warfare. The knight in the lowest class in the noble, the often just have a small fief.

Blood rad horse

I think the main character is Will and Gavin. They are brothers. Will like horse very much, he have a small horse, he like the horse, but then, what he really want to ride is a big and good horse. Gavin the oder bather of Will is mean. When Will is trying to write the big horse, then he call people go to watch Will, and laugh at him, Gavin says that Will ride the big horse just like a flea on a dragon. So than Will hate his oder brother Gavin.
I think in the chapter 2, I have the question, why is that a French aristocrat went to England can have the fief? Is
that the French and England are friends at that time ?
I learn that when the king died, then if the king has more than two sons, then his sons are going to fight( not really fight)
for the throne, and people start the decide the side.

China WebQuest reflection

When I was doing the China WebQuest I think I am a Critical thinker and Problem Solver, Active learners. 
I think Critical thinker and Problem Solver means that if you have the problem and you can solve by your self, with out asking anyone of the student or teacher, even your parents, and the main ideas that you think by your self, the things that you going more deeper,example in the China WebQuest, we will answer the questions on the mindmeister, and think more deeper, find the main idea that about China culture. 
I think the Active learner is if you have any question then you will ask, sometimes you want to ask somethings that you want to learn more about, and you always be very active, and you always work hard, and what to get more things from the teacher. Example from China WebQues, I always ask the questions when I am not really sure, and I did ask a lot about the iweb, because that was my first time to use the i-web. I will ask the English problem sometimes, too.
I think this project teaches me a lot about the Chia culture, we do i-web and we solve the problem ourself, and we think is more helpful that we just read the books, because we did that ourself.

What I learn from the video:
In the Rome, the slavery is very pitiful, they have to work very hard, otherwise the people will use the whip to hit the slavery, and the must to work until they die. When the Rome fight with other ship on the sea, they use the balls that has fire throw to another ship, and try to let their ship got fire, and they will use the ship to bump other ship, when they bump, they need to row more faster, that was really tired. The Roman always listen to the people that has power.
