Shooting at Ark......kills..?

A shooting at the University of Central Arkansas killed two students and wounded a third person early today. There was a police said that there were a shot happened at Sunday night near a make dorm of a school. One victim was dead at the scene and the other two ran into the Arkansas Hall dormitory, the second victim died at a hospital, and the third victim was not a student. The police didn't really talk about why there are shot occurred in school, but they did say that there will be no school for students, because of course it is too dangerous for them.

No dying hair? No candy in school?

I know students or kids in our age like fashion and cares more about their out fit and looks than caring about their school work, so teachers are starting to worry about the future of students. Principals and teachers decide to have meetings to discuss about the issue, and then they decide to make rules for school, because teenagers doesn't really listen to adults. They made rules like no dying hairs or having wacky haircuts, because then students will only care about their looks, and they won't pay attention or give enough efforts to their either school work or homework. Some people think it's fine, but some people think it's really not fair, because they think dying their hair will not affect their work. There were girl who accidently dye her hair, people thought that she is going to got punishments. The principals said no, but the principal say she has to make a presentation in front of everyone about no dying hair and how out fits makes you not paying attention or giving enough effort into your class and homework. Some school also doesn't allow students to eat candies in school, not even having it in backpacks. I think it's not fair for me, because I think it is our freedom and our decision of whether we want or not, they shouldn't made a rule for that.....

2009's New Year Countdown Party Taipei 101's firework is......!!!!


We all know it is October, it's still 2 months till the Winter Vocation, which is the New Year!! Before the New Year starts of course every city will have a New Year Countdown Party. People always want to go to the New Year Countdown Party in Taipei, because there are beautiful fireworks on the 101. The firework that 101 formed has been continuing for 4 years, and this year the people from 101 said that this year will be continuing having the firework ceremony stuff. At the beginning of the year, the people from 101 company said that there won't be firework ceremony this on 2009, because the economy of Taiwan is not really good, and they cannot find any sponsorship for them, so they are deciding to cancel it. But then this week, they made an announcement that said that there are going to be fireworks ceremony this year, and it's going to be cool. So let's just hope it's good, and also made our next year better. :D

Omar strengthens!! RUN~!!!

There is a hurricane called Omar strengthened into a major Category 3 storm and it raced toward Puerto Rico, also the small islands of the northeastern Caribbean. People are scared it's going to bring torrential rains that could trigger dangerous floods and mudslides on Thursday Oct 16.
Omar is actually formed north of the Dutch island of Curacao on Tuesday Oct 14.

Omar was a Category 3 storm on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity, with sustained(continuing) winds of near 120 miles per hour (195 km per hour) as it passed between the Virgin Islands and the northern Leeward Islands.

It is a dangerous hurricane, so "ATTENTION! People that are from Puerto Rico, please be prepare, and be safe." Although they might not even see my blog post.

God of operation~ :_(


This kind of a sad story, Yong Ching Wang which is a great person that forms the company called Tai-Shuo(台塑) died today at America, New York this afternoon. He was a person that is really good at arranging or operating stuff, so people call him "The God of the Operation". He is a very special person, he didn't even graduated elementary school, because he is very poor when he's young, so he start working when he's young. He solve the money problem for his family, he was a hard working young man. Now he is a person who has 1.3 trillion. Even thought he is "that" rich, he still have dreams that he wants to come true. He wants his company to work in other industries, for example car industry, photoelectric industry, and also IT industry. He even bought the Taiwan Daily News Company, but it seems it doesn't go that well, because of all those stock things. The most sad thing is that he couldn't actually finish his dream, and the day before he died, he was checking his company in America, and it sounds really sad, because he and his family doesn't even have the time to say goodbye or even talk, his family were all shock and sad. Hope that he can have a happy life up there. I forget to say his age, he is 92 years old, it's really lucky to live as old as him! :D

Three moderate earthquakes respectively hit East Nusa Tenggara, North Sumatra and North Maluku in Indonesia Saturday evening, but there was no report of casualties or material damage. An earthquake measuring 5.0 a the Richter scale hit Kupang of East Nusa Tenggara province on Saturday midnight. Another earthquake measuring 5.3 magnitude jolted Mentawai in North Sumatra province earlier on October 12. Then an earthquake measuring 5.3 magnitude hit North Maluku province.

A school life after Ike


There was a huge and strong hurricane that hits Texas coast, and the time it came it's around this summer or earlier before the summer. People are having hard time with it, and they have to patient so that the government can actually rebuild and reconstruct the whole thing. For us or for kids right now like us, the most import thing is to grow healthy and to have well educated, so study in school it's very important. Students from Sabine Pass School are lack of study tools, so there were people that's really nice and bring them s0me good stuff. Students from Colmesneil delivered supplies, including backpacks, notebooks and crayons. I think it is so nice of them to deliver things to people that need those things, and the teacher from there are happy that the students can finally get back and study hard.

Which is more dense—a stack of 5 NT coins or a stack of 20 NT coins?

A stack of 20 NT is denser than a stack of 5 NT, because the volume and mass of a stack of 20 NT is bigger than the volume and mass of a stack of 5 NT. To calculate the density of a matter, just use mass/volume, so maybe heavier or bigger stuff is denser.

OH MY GOD!!!! TWO earthquake hit Tibet.


The first earthquake that hit Tibet is magnitude 6.6, and it has the same magnitude as the one that I wrote about last time-the earthquake that hit Russia, Kyrgyzstan. The quake in the restless region next to Nepal and India came a day after an earthquake in neighboring Kyrgyzstan killed at least 72 people. There were nine bodies, and 11 seriously injured people had been found in in the ruins of collapsed building in Gedar township in Damxung county. On Sunday a magnitude-5.7 earthquake shook the Xinjiang region, which borders Tibet, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Tibet, which is a populated place had been hit by several earthquakes these weeks.

Dozen of people DIE in the horrible earthquake in Russia


A magnitude 6.6 earthquake hit Russia, Kyrgyzstan yesterday, Sunday night. It killed an estimated 70 people, many people got injured(they are lucky, because they didn't got killed)and destroyed at least 120 buildings. The destruction is concentrated in the remote village of Nura on Kyrgyzstan's border with China. The Health Ministry of has Kyrgyzstan set-up a crisis center in the region, and it saved a lot of people. Some people are still block in their home or some places that rescue team can't go in, so there are four helicopters that gives blankets and foods. Wish that the people that are blocked or having a hard time, just stand up and I wish that the governments can help you guys as soon as they can.

Why do we study MASS and VOLUME for 3 days?

The reason that we are learning mass and volume for these three days is because we were learning about matter. I guess you would ask what does matter related to mass and volume? I'll say matter is made up by mass and volume, matter is stuff that takes up weight(mass), and space(volume). Basically what are the two important things for studying matter is what is matter and can matter disappear? I think matter can disappear, and when matter disappear, it means the weight and the space that it takes up will be gone too.

Engineer text message 22 seconds before fatal train crash!!! SCARY~


There was a train crash in the Los Angeles on October 1st, and there is a scary coincidence happened before the fatal disaster train crash happened, the engineer had sent a text message 22 seconds before the train crash. The crash killed 25 people, including the engineer, Robert Sanchez. This poor man Robert Sanchez died in this train crash, and he normally play with his dog, but now....not anymore. This train crash is really bad, so the senate on Wednesday night cleared a rail safety reform bill that would give Amtrak $13 billion dollars over five years. Hope the government can be more careful of safety of anything, so then there will be less injuries happen.
