Battery on Cars

Wow good news for the world and the whole entire human race. Now cars will be able to run on batteries, for 300 mile range. More good news is that these cars $25,000-$30,000 in price which is pretty cheap. One thing that makes the car probably expensive is the battery because it will cost in addition of $40,000 which makes the car and the battery combined will be about 1.4 million baht. The battery works by using a chemical reaction which allows the electrons to harvest and creates voltage that allows the car to run. Envia (battery company) would probably take another 3 years to develop the technology and it will be released in to the markets. The other big problem is cooperating with the different companies of cars to develop the slot in system and allows the battery to be able to function well.

Really good news out there because very soon there will be the first cars that will be on stock which will allow you to run your car with electricity which would save the world from Global Warming and nobody would use oil. Many car companies are also developing the system to be able to run with electricity or batteries such as the German cars industry like Benz are developing the new cars to fit with the batteries. Many people are now still very worried with the prices of the cars because it is going to be really expensive because the energy source will be very cheap and very easy to find. Electricity is like a source that we have enough or an unlimited energy source which will make a better world and save global warming.

Band Practice

Band season is coming up again, and our band Over Drives are getting ready for a new performance again. Our practice is held on every Tuesday before after school. Our two songs that we are playing is Dirty Little Secret (All American Rejects), and Give me a Sign (Breaking Benjamin). Of course we can only play two songs for the Battle of the Bands held in KIS. We still have a really long list of songs we want to play. This year it is not easy to go to the competition because we are in High School and in our school we have another band competing against us for the position. It will be another hard and challenging task again.

We should really start practicing and really be serious at playing this year because in the High School division there are many other good bands that are going to be participating also which makes us so competitive to win the trophy this year but our task is to beat the other band first and then try to win the Battle of the Bands. Our journey still is a long way to achieve but we are going to try our best to win at least something. If anybody is interested come visit the music room every Tuesday before school ends.

    

Debate in Social Studies

In Social Studies we will be having a huge quiz on World War II, so for just a small review we are debating a topic about World War II, which is " Is the Hiroshima Bomb Justified or not?". Of course this debate was really interesting which cut our class into half because many people have their different ideas. I was on the side that was saying it is not justified. Our big huge main argument was that the bomb killed many innocent citizens who were living in the city. Our solution was to use small bombs or bombs that deal damage in a particular area such as the military base which would save more lives than bombing the whole city. Another minor argument is that the US has a bigger and advance technology which would probably be easier to save more lives.

Debating was really fun because we get to know other peoples opinion on the debate topic. Debate was really fun for me because it allows us to express our opinion on the debate and it allows us to argue with your opponent which creates friendship and understanding on the topic even more. Mr. Randy made it right reviewing for the test by debating a topic which would probably allow us to remember more stuff from World War II even more. I should be also studying World War II to get a really high score on the test and be very proud of my self.


Weekly ICT

In ICT this week we didn't do anything that much because we are starting to review for our quiz on Photoshop,  In design, and Illustrator. Mr. Pete our superstar teacher was again like our super hero because he reviewed most of the basics for us such as, making the text to become a shape, adding a rectangle at the back of the text to make it look better. One big technique that our super Mr. Pete thought us is changing a normal picture into a vector. He also though us to remove the white background which is really useful because it allows us to insert the picture on in design without needing to bring pictures froward or backward. Effects and design is also important because Mr. Pete our superstar is always showing us new effects we can do on Photoshop to any picture we want.

Mr. Pete is really talented and skilled in design because his ideas are so creative and interesting to know because it will help us in the future for sure. We should also make Mr. Pete proud of us by doing really good on the quiz so he doesn't feel bad wasting his time teaching us. Basically on the quiz we should use all the technique Mr. Pete the superstar thought to make a good design and a perfect design to make him proud of us. I will for sure do really good on his quiz because I took his lesson seriously and I will do my best on the quiz. Mr. Pete class is really good and we should respect it.

Air Blue Sharing

Have you ever forgot your flash drive at home? Have you ever forgot to save your file on your flash drive and came to work without your file? Now there is nothing to worry about because Air Blue sharing is a key to organization. It allows you to share the files of your computer to your phone. Sharing between phones is also possible. This app gives you many new look such as Bluetooth, drop box, and iFile. This allows you to access with any phone that has Bluetooth, even the phones that are very cheap. This would allows you to share pictures videos and many more between your Iphone and other phones that is not an Iphone. This app is a bit expensive but now you are able to get it by jail breaking which is cost less.

A very new good news for Iphone users because you are now able to share or trade your files with other people which save you more time. For example you want to download a song but the internet is so slow, your friend next to you has the song but he is using a nokia. You just get the app and you will be able to receive that song from your friend. It's been so interesting seeing computers and phones evolving just like animals because it getting more compatible with us and it allows you to do anything you want with it if you are a person that likes to forget your files.

Bombing in Bangkok?

Recently there was a new big issue that just happened which is Muslims started to bomb cities again. There was one recently in Bangkok which happened like 5 kilometers away from school which is in soi Sukhumvit 71 or Phrakanong. The story that happened is about a Muslim who was fighting with his friend. After that guy came out of the house he asked for a taxi but the taxi refuses to pick him up because he had blood on his hands, so that Muslim got really angry and he started throwing bombs at the taxi but luckily it missed. A police men saw him so he threw another bomb at the police men but he missed and it bounced back to him and injured his leg and finally died in the hospital.

After this case that happened the Thai government announced to be really careful about these people especially the ones who comes from Israel because the Muslims are trying to get their land back so they wanted to wipe out all the Israeli ans for revenged. Doing something like this is really stupid because killing yourself is really bad because it doesn't benefit you and it hurts others Now we should be really careful of Muslims because they might suicide themselves again.



  

Hiroshima

When you first see this word "Hiroshima" you would probably think of atomic bombs. This is what we did in our Social Studies class, we studied about the atomic bomb that have been use on Japan in world war II. This bomb really changed the old age into the new age because this bomb could really wipe out a city in seconds like what happened in Hiroshima which killed many people by burning them or vaporizing them. After the bomb  have been released there would also be radiation which will then kill lots of people later on. What we saw on the DVD was people getting burned or half dying of this dangerous new weapon that America just invented.

The atomic bomb was something that changed the whole world because it could cause lots of people to die. For example in Hiroshima where lots of innocent people are suffering because of this bomb. If there was another world war the world would probably be broken because these atomic bomb could damage the air too. Just because of the atomic bomb that was invented many nations are now struggling to develop it which is really dangerous because look at what happened in Japan where the tsunami hit and broke the atomic center which release lots of radiation into the air.



 

ICT This Week

This week in ICT we did something really different. Mr. Pete our Superstar teacher linked the lesson with the social network that everybody knows which is Facebook. Mr. Pete let us make our own Facebook cover timeline in the concept of valentines. He made us use the program Photoshop and Illustrator to edit the cover photo and we are able to add pictures and objects to the cover which made it look way better. One huge new thing he thought us is how to uses vectors by opening it on the document server which allows us to select new templates to add into our cover to make it look really good.

ICT is like a really good subject that could be linked to any other interesting on the internet such as Facebook. Facebook is something that every student in our class uses everyday. Mr. Pete our Superstar was really smart linking the lesson to Facebook which made many other students really happy. ICT is something that you should really study because it will really help you in the future when technology is very complex and really into the world where every person can be able to get to know it. One thing from the technology is the computer which is getting very complex in our life.

Math on Google Docs?

Have you ever tried working on a math project where you needed to send around the files between the peoples. Now google docs have released the math equation system. It also you and your partner to access the document together and review or teach you math equations that you are not able to answer. This new system allows you to easily insert a math equation by clicking insert and equation. Then you will be ask to create a new equation, and now you will be able to choose your symbols to enter in your document. For more information you can see the picture below for more information.

This is a very good news for students that are studying high standards in math, which allows you and your friend to discuss online via Google Documents. This allows you to finish your math problems easily and its very easy to use because you don't need to find the equations by yourself. Another good thing about this is that your teacher can also come in and help you while doing the problems, by teaching you and fixing the mistakes that you have. This might allow you to learn math online. Another benefit this system give to teachers is that they can assign you the work and you can access and finish your math problems via the internet. Now the technology is getting so good that education is easier by using the technology, you are also able to save paper instead of writing the equations on the paper.

Man U vs Liverpool Again!!!!!

Another match between the two reds happened yesterday again but this time its in the premier league of England which took place at Man U house old traffort stadium. This game was a really close game because Man U beat Liverpool 2-1. Goals that happened are all by Wayne Rooney and from Liverpool Suarez. One big change I notice in this match is that Man U played very good in the second half which really made them get the win. In this match there are also some hard tackles and fouling because most the players that are playing are like enemies in the war.

The premier league if really getting fun now because there will be a fight between Man city and Man U for the top in the premier league which is quite interesting to follow. Football games are like war between nations around the war which allows them to show their skills and beat the other the team. The big difference in a football games is that after the match is over everybody needs to be shacking hands for playing a good game. Overall football is the best sport that you really need to support and cheer your team up to make fun of others who are cheering the opposite team.





Evolution

In science we are now on the most interesting topic of all Evolution. Its about the studies of animals which tells us about how they came from and which animal evolve from which species. We first started off talking about the person who came up about this theory. The person who came with this theory is Charles Darwin who traveled around the world with his ship and observe each animal living in different continents. Now we are going to studying each animal evolving starting off with the first cell. Mr. Brian our teacher also thought us about how life can begin by 3 theories that are possible which allows life to evolve in time.

Evolution is like the main reason I join Biology because we get to learn about the lives of animals and we get to know how each animal changed in time. We also are going to create our group presentation about evolution and each theory that is involved in the first section which will run through the basic view of Evolution. I really like learning about animals and their lives which makes evolution one of the most interesting chapter that I'm waiting for. If we keep getting into detail for sure evolution will be the best lesson I'm going to learn in my life because it keeps me from getting bored in class.



In design Lesson

We learned something very special and new in ICT this week because it involves using the program in design to design our very own restaurant poster. Mr. Pete our super star teacher made the lesson really fun because he gave an basic idea on how to use this program. He first started off by showing us an example on what we need to do, by adding rectangles and text boxes to our paper form. He also linked in design with Photoshop and illustrator, which we need to make a logo of our restaurant. We also learned how to add effects to pictures and text. One really cool thing our super start teacher thought us is to change each letter into an object which allows us to edit each letter how we want.

Mr. Pete is really teaching us a lot of stuff that will be useful in the future because this lesson could really make jobs for many people who wants to create their own magazines and a designer who could edit stuff how ever they want. I would really thank Mr. Pete our super star teacher for teaching us this technique and is always helping us when ever we get stuck on a problem. This lesson would really improve my skills on using in design to work on projects in the future for sure.

NFC in the next Apple Product

Have you ever got annoyed by carrying around your credit cards and sometimes forgetting it? Good news is around which allows you to use the next generation Iphone and Ipad to pay. With this new NFC technology you can buy everything you want without carrying your credit card but just your phone. Rumors had now also came that for sure this application will come for the next Ipad and Iphone which will be release very soon with a awesome application like this one. Now the future phone where you could do anything with it is going to become true very soon. There are also many sides that are going to disagree with this new app because it might not be 100% perfect which might affect the amount of money spend on the item to be higher or maybe lower that might affect many peoples life.

Another new good news to me because I think that Apple are really developing their technology to make life even more advance. Another good thing that might happen in the future is a dream phone that could do anything to you in the future, where you could do anything with it. In the future phones might get turned into robots, we never know what will happen because these phones are getting more advance and complex to live. One thing I really think about that is negative about this new feature is that I might have an error or mistake which will lead to loses in money or gain in money. That is that one thing that Apple really should be responsible about because if something goes wrong who is going to be responsible for it.

More Technology = More Space

What I mean by this is that if we had even better technology we could travel through space. Recently we found planets that humans could be living on, but the only problem is that it will take quite long for humans to reach the destination before their live ends. If we had the technology we could do this easily and we will have our second planet to live on. Another big problem about technology is that we are polluting the world so if we had even more advanced technology we could make this world cleaner and less dangerous. In the future for sure there would be no cars running on oil but maybe they might be using solar power and electricity. In the future for sure there would be many new things to discover because the universe is big and there is many secrets behind it. With an advanced technology the world would have no worries and we would have no problems about global warming. In the future for sure the movies that you see would be reality!




  

Ship Sank in Italy

A very big news topic from the past weeks, because an high class Italian Cruise ship just sank near the shore. This case made 39 people dead or missing. This ship sank just because of the Capetian, he drove the ship in too near to the shore which made many people suffer and he survived. That guy should really pay for what he have did. Many other sides say that he was drunk which made this event happen. There are also arguments that it wasn't the captains fault, but it was a technical problem with the ship which made it sank. After letting out the passengers in a rescue boat, it leaves many other citizens calling the police because of an unsafe reason of the captain. This was the biggest news so far in 2012 which really shocked many people and made many people worried traveling on ships with drunk captains.

Social Studies Attacking Plan

In Social class Mr. Randy asked us to make a plan to attack Germany in World War II. We are on the Allies side, which is America, England, and the Soviet Union. We are going to make a perfect plan to attack them, which works better than the plan that defeated Hitler. We worked in pairs which I, worked with Kay. Our plan was to quickly defeat Japan. Our main attacker is the US so they are going to send supplies to the Soviets and put the army men in England. The navy and planes would basically attack Japan. Out next target is to get back France, which allows us to attack Germany from two fronts like World War I. Then we are going to use all our strength to attack Germany hard enough that they will surrender. Next Italy would surrender by themselves because they are weak and they need to rely on Germany. Out plan would for sure be faster than the real plan.
