      This text conversation is between two men in search for the missing people that settled on Roanoke Island, Virginia. One of the men isn't very bright and the other actually knows what he is doing.

HTML intro

Three things I want to learn are how to use HTML, how to use it to make a website, and how it could be used out side of computers. Two things I have learned about HTML are it's declared in the lang attribute and there are many attribute. One thing I am concerned about making a website is that it won't look the way I want it.

History: Columbus's True Legacy

        The real Christopher Columbus was a cruel, selfish explorer who did anything for riches. He was all about gold and conquering land. I don't blame him for being an uptight jerk since if he comes back from the new world, which he thought as the Indies, with nothing the king and queen of spain, and probably the rest of Spain, would want him dead since they took a chance on him and he didn't produce. He didn't, though, need to use brutality on the Native Americans since they didn't speak his language and couldn't understand what he wanted them to do. His legacy was to find a water route to the Indies and to be a greedy explorer who wanted nothing to do with discovery, but riches. He even wrote the "Book of Privileges" so he made sure he got what he wanted. That is the real Christopher Columbus.
         People of the United States should continue to celebrate Columbus, but also celebrate and observe Americo Vespuchi. Since he was the one who actually said that the land Columbus found was really a whole other continent and not the Indies. Also, Columbus, although being cruel and brutal, he was the first person from the old world to set foot and to travel to the new world. We should celebrate Vespuchi for his discoveries and Columbus for his. Columbus didn't know how to respond when he saw different people, that is why he acted the way he did.

Binary Reflection

Three new things I learned are that there are three ways to compute things, why binary is used and how simple binary is. Two things I don't understand is why two is so great and why would someone use it to count. One thing I would like to learn more about is how to use it to code something.

Binary Game

The highest level I got to was level 5. The hardest part of the binary game was figuring the large numbers. I would not use the binary system to count. You could use your fingers by each finger is a number. The binary system is used in computers to compute things.

Eliza

Eliza was not at all human like. It frustrated me and it was overall bad. To make Eliza more human I would make it nicer and have it understand slang terms. What I expect from a computer in terms of emotion is it would have none. In the future I don not see computers be a good human substitute.

Google 1

The once 2 man operation of Google, is now obviously a large profound company. It only did this within a few years. Google did this by developing new ways to organize webpages. Their way was that they sent cyber-bugs into the web to copy as many webpages as they can. Also, they created a something called page rank. It ranked all the webpages based on popularity. They ranked it from 1-10. They used their technology to make one of the most used search engines in the world.

History:Scientific Revolution

     Astronomers like Galileo, who create the telescope, and Copernicus, who discovered the modern look of the solar system. Chemists also had groundbreaking discoveries as well. Robert Boyle was the first one to bottle a gas. Also, in medicine was beginning to improve. Andrea Vasalius, a surgeon who studied human dissection, influenced modern medicine and William Harvey discovered the circulatory system. The Roman Catholic Church did what ever it could to disprove these discoveries. They threaten to kill Galileo if he didn't disprove his discovery of the solar system. He ended up in prison. This article was written by a merchant from this time period. 

     People are saying that some thinkers are dissecting human bodies to learn more about it. They will surely be executed by the RCC. Though they are doing wrong in the eye of the Church I am intrigued by what they have discovered. They have found new ways to treat wounds and found systems in which the body uses to pass blood through the body. Also, the debate between the RCC and these thinkers, they call themselves scientists, is getting bigger and bigger. I don't believe the Church should be involved with this nonsense. They shouldn't kill for a reason like this. That's what they teach us, don't kill- I'm paraphrasing of course. But, scientists shouldn't bother the dead just because  their soul isn't there to make a decision for their body. Also they shouldn't be killing anyone either. I am intrigued by this debate, but would rather stay out off the topic. Although it's the only topic that seems to come up these days.

History: The Reformation Spreads

The printing press was a big invention during the Reformation. It made making copies of books easier which made the travel of these books and other ideas more disperse and faster. Life before the printing press was based on the ideas of the Church. After ideas from others could spread easily and fast because the author of thinker didn't have to write each copy by hand.
An Anabaptist is a person who doesn't believe babies should be baptized because they won't remember it. Also, they didn't believe in state Churches. The founder was Ulrich Zwingli and was common in mostly Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands. I live in Switzerland and we take our Anabaptism seriously. We are baptized at adult age and nowhere will you find a state church. Our lives are like normal baptists just we don't follow the rules about being baptized as a baby and having state churches. We do what most people do in he 1700s. Eat, sleep, think, write, and patronize. With the exception that we're in Switzerland and our winters are way worse.

Latino culture

Mesoamerica, it includes Mexico,Guatemala, Honduras and Belize, was once ruled by the Mayans. The history of Pre-Mesoamerica is divided up into three periods; pre-classic, classic,  post-classic. The Mayans greatest achievements were in astronomy,  architecture, and in math. Once the conquistadors arrived they burnt their books. Only four books escaped the burning.

History: Martin Luther

     Martin Luther challenged the Roman Catholic Church necause the Pope was first selling indulgences. Then the Pope was gaining too much power over the Church. "The pope boasted that he was the head of the Church, and condemned all that would not be under his power", Martin Luther didn't like how instead of saying God was the head of the Church , , the pope said he was. Martin Luther was a German Monk who thought that men should have the same knowledge as the church did. He not only translated the Bible to German he also nailed his 95 Theses to the door of his Church.

     I think Martin Luther was more concerned with spiritual reforms becuase during the Peasants Revolt he called them disobedient and not true Christians and he sided with the Germanic Princes during the revolution. He wrote a admonition  about the peasants and later he wrote a tract describing how the peasants were murderous and thieves.

Native American Culture 1-6

1. Native Americans are best know for their bead work.

2. To use the computer to make bead work.

3. The type of symmetry used in this bead work is four fold symmetry. 

4. They all have the same amount of sections.
5.The four images are embroidery, Shoshone beadwork, Buffalo Hide Drum, and a Navajo rug.
6. Reflection smmetry is where both sides look exactly the same.

HIstory: The Medici and Machiavelli

            The essential question for this mini unit is; How did wealth in Florence lead to new art and ideas during the Renaissance? To figure this out we did many activities in class. One was watch a video on the Medici family, probably the most powerful family of the time, and took notes on how their power came to be. They did by funding money for artists, thinkers, and scientists or otherwise know as patrons. Also, we read segments of "The Prince", by Niccolo Machiavelli. In this book Machiavelli takes about how a Prince should rule and do as ruler. He wrote this book to help the Medici and because they exiled him for trying to start a "rebellion" against the Medici. Machiavelli thought writing the book for the Medici would help his changes of the Medici canceling his exile. 

             One excerpts  from " The Prince" is: That Which Concerns the Prince on Subject of Art and War. It is important for a prince to study war because if his kingdom is attacked he must have a plan or if he wants to attack another kingdom he must also have a plan. In other words he has to know what he is doing when his town is attacked or he attacks. A prince could gain the knowledge of strategy by studying war. If he gets lazy about studying war and if he is attacked he won't know what to do and most likely lose. Also if he decides to attack someone he won't have a good plan of attack and most likely lose.

               I agree with Machiavelli's leadership ideas, but they only work for his time period. I think this because his ideas are based on manipulating peoples minds like using fear to win over your people, but now most people are educated and can figure out if you're not true to your word or just threatening them. Also, world leaders now have people doing the thinking for them so the ideas of ruling won't matter to them and they'll forget about Machiavelli's leadership ideas. 

communication

I communicate using my phone a lot. I rely on my phone to talk to friends and family without actually seeing them face-to-face. An example would be me using Snapchat to communicate with my friends.

reflection

I thought the search activity was easy to do and a little boring. Although it was quick and easy to do.

Computer Buying Project Reflection

My partners have been working on the computer buying project. So far it has been good. We did have some computer issues, but overall it has been good. I learned about what a video and sound card were. A challenge though was finding what the sound card was for a Dell.

my wordle

Hi I'm Zach. I'm in High School and love to play basketball. That isn't the only sport I play though. I also play football. I live in Massachusetts, but I was born in New York. That's why I'm not a baseball fan. I'm 14 years old and six foot two. My favorite ice cream is chocolate and my favorite food is pizza. Also, I'm a big fan of the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Pats. I've been to Canada and the Caribbean. I don't really travel that much, but on some occasions I go somewhere. I have a little brother named Nick and a dog named Max.
