I Was Bored

I’m bored, so I am going to write a paragraph consisting of at least 100 words, using all five sentence patterns. I’m randomly choosing a subject, and it is, What if the sun exploded?
These are the sentence patterns I will use:
1.subject-verb
2.subject-verb-direct object
3.subject–linking verb-predicate noun
4.subject–linking verb-predicate adjective
5.subject-verb-indirect object-direct object

It would be six minutes before I felt the explosion, and if I had any warning, This is what I would do. I would call the government. I would wait. I would ask for the price of depleted uranium.¹ When I was told the price, which is about $5 per pound, I would rob a bank and buy the uranium. Then, I would give some money to Matthew and we would start building bunkers out of the uranium. After we were finished, we would give the leftovers to other people. I would rob another bank (or two) and order some antimatter.²(Which is twenty five billion per gram.) After robbing another bank or two, I would get some antihydrogen,³ (which is a real thing, btw) and store the antimatter in that.

¹ Depleted uranium is very cheap and extremely good at protecting you from high impact and many forms of radiation.

² Antimatter is matter with opposite particles to regular matter. As a result, antimatter annihilates any matter it comes into contact with.

³ Antihydrogen is made by a process of charging hydrogen particles until they are opposite that of regular hydrogen. That is one of the only known ways to store antimatter.

Galileo’s Imprisonment

Chief inquisitor Father Vincenzo Maculano da Firenzuola, appointed by Pope Urban VIII, begins the inquisition of physicist and astronomer Galileo Galilei. Galileo was ordered to turn himself in to the Holy Office to start trial for holding the belief that the Earth revolves around the Sun, which was deemed heretical by the Catholic Church. Standard practice demanded that he would be imprisoned and secluded during the trial.
This was the second time that Galileo was in trouble for refusing to accept Church orthodoxy that the Earth was the center of the universe: In 1616, he had been stopped from holding or defending his beliefs. In the 1633 interrogation, Galileo denied that he “held” belief in the Copernican view but continued to write about the issue and evidence as a means of “discussion” rather than belief. The Church decided the idea that the Sun moved around the Earth was an absolute fact of scripture that could not be argued, despite the fact that scientists had known for centuries that the Earth was not the center of the universe.
This time, Galileo’s argument didn’t win. On June 22, 1633, the Church handed down the order: “We pronounce, judge, and declare, that you, the said Galileo… have rendered yourself vehemently suspected by this Holy Office of heresy, that is, of having believed and held the doctrine (which is false and contrary to the Holy and Divine Scriptures) that the sun is the center of the world, and that it does not move from east to west, and that the earth does move, and is not the center of the world.”
Also with the order came the penalty: “We order that by a public edict the book of Dialogues of Galileo Galilei be prohibited, and We condemn thee to the prison of this Holy Office during Our will and pleasure; and as a salutary penance We enjoin on thee that for the space of three years thou shalt recite once a week the Seven Penitential Psalms.”
Galileo agreed not to teach the heresy anymore and spent the rest of his life under house arrest. It took more than 300 years for the Church to admit that Galileo was right and to clear his name of heresy.

So, that’s that! Thanks for reading! 🙂  😉

Prophecy in The Bible

So, I am going to write an essay on the Prophecies of the Old Testament, and their New Testament is fulfilment in the Bible. Hope you learn something! 🙂

1. Pay close attention to the verse below Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53.
2. The study was found in the New Testament verses the Old Testament (They are not in order) Decide to meet the verse in the chart below.
3. Using the list above, for how each Old Testament prophecy meets any or all of these guidelines and write a 250 word essay.
4. Remember to use proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling when you enter your essay.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   The prophecies of the Old Testament New Testament Fulfillment
   Psalm22:6-7                   Romans5:6-8
   Psalm22:15-16               Matthew27:39-40
   Psalm22:18                     Matthew27:57-60

Psalm 22:6-7 and Romans 5:6-8

Psalm 22:6-7 says, “But I am a worm and not a man. I am scorned and despised by all! Everyone who sees me mocks me. They sneer and shake their heads.” In Romans, It tells of Christ being mocked and scorned.

Psalm 22:15-16 and Matthew 27:39-40
The first passage states that someone will be hung on a cross and soldiers will cast lots for his clothing. Matthew states that Christ was sentenced to crucifixion and the soldiers transporting him threw dice for his garments.

Psalm 22:18 and Matthew 27:57-60
I’m going to skip over this one because it is basically the same as the last one.

Isaiah 53:4-6 and Luke 23:33-34
Isaiah 53 speaks of him being whipped and beaten so we could be whole. Luke 23 states that Jesus was led to a hill and was crucified there.

Isaiah 53:8-9 and John 19:33-35
The first passage says that somebody will be killed like a criminal and buried in a king’s grave. In John 33, it says that Jesus was crucified on a cross with thieves and was buried in an stone tomb.

Isaiah 53:12 and Matthew 27:35
Isaiah 53 says that Christ will bear our sins for us. In Matthew 27, The people acknowledge him as the Christ.

So, that concludes that. Thanks for taking the time to read this! 🙂

My Finished Terrarium

So, here it is. My finished terrarium is done. I had a lot of fun making it, and made a large mess I’m going to regret. But overall, it was worth it. Hope you guys like it! 😉

All my finished anime drawings

These are all of my complete masterpieces. To load them on the computer, I scanned them on the printer, then uploaded them onto the computer. I went through a lot of practice and stuff. On the bottom one, you can see where I messed up a bit on his hand. And on the second to last one, I tried to make a background, and failed. Tell me if you think I should keep posting drawings! 🙂

 

Cacti

These are some cacti that I bought at Lowe’s. I’m going to make a terrarium for them and decorate it. I will post pictures when the terrarium is made.

 

The Most Interesting Thing This Week

History, Lesson 100        June 22, 2018

The Microscope

    During the 1st century AD, glass had been invented and the Romans were looking through the glass and testing it. They experimented with different shapes of clear glass and one of their samples was thick in the middle and thin on the edges. They discovered that if you held one of these “lenses” over an object, the object would look larger.

Someone also discovered that you can focus the rays of the sun with one of these special “glasses” and start a fire. These early lenses were called magnifiers or burning glasses. The word lens is derived from the Latin word lentil, because they resembled the shape of a lentil bean.

The early simple “microscopes” which were really only magnifying glasses had one power, usually about 6x – 10x. One thing that was very common and interesting to look at was fleas as well as other tiny insects. These early magnifiers were called “flea glasses.”

Galileo heard of their experiments and started experimenting on his own. He described the principles of lenses and light rays and improved both the microscope and telescope. He added a focusing device to his microscope and went on to explore the night sky with his telescopes.

Anthony Leeuwenhoek of Holland became very interested in lenses while working with magnifying glasses in a dry goods store. He used the magnifying glass to count threads in woven cloth. He became so interested that he learned how to make lenses. By grinding and polishing, he was able to make small lenses with great curvatures. These rounder lenses produced greater magnification, and his microscopes were able to magnify up to 270x!

Anthony Leeuwenhoek became more involved in science and with his new and improved microscope was able to see things that no one had ever seen before. He saw bacteria, yeast, blood cells and many tiny animals swimming about in a drop of water. From his great contributions, many discoveries and research papers, Anthony Leeuwenhoek has since been called the “Father of Microscopy.”

Little was done to improve the microscope until the middle of the 19th century when great strides were made and quality instruments like today’s microscope emerged. Companies in Germany like Zeiss and an American company founded by Charles Spencer began producing fine optical instruments.

Today, there are no microscope manufacturers in the US and most of the microscopes come from Germany, Japan and China. Toy plastic microscopes should be avoided as they do not achieve the level of quality of the basic instruments with metal frames and glass lenses.

Because of foreign production, quality microscopes have become affordable for all. Zaccharias Janssen, the inventor of the microscope would marvel at the quality of even the most basic microscopes found in schools today.
