The truth about CSI

"CSI" is one of the most popular shows on television. Millions of viewers every week tune in every week to see Las Vegas criminalists use forensic science to solve crimes, especially murders. How much like real life is the television show? Almost from the first show district attorneys and police have criticized it for not accurately displaying how crimes are solved and for its excessive violence The fact is many experts have said there are many aspects of "CSI" that are not like how real criminalists solve crime. By comparison, experts have said the television show, "NCIS" about military and ex-military officials is dramatized and does have fictionalized accounts and the people in the show may not always have a professional attitude toward each other. On the other hand, in that show, real life NCIS agents work with the actors to make the characters seem like real agents, and NCIS does give information about real life cases to the makers of the show. Some experts may have more criticisms of CSI than they do of NCIS, even though many do believe both shows to be good entertainment.

Architecture wonderlands :Luxuries of Dubai

Dubai is an amazing place- with amazing architectures layering around the city, located in United, Arab  Emirates. It is in fact very stunning, with all the architectures you would dream for, like the tallest tower in the world, or even a hotel that is underwater.  However, Dubai wasn't all this from the start.


This is a street in Dubai in the early ages. Not a thing you would expect from a country like Dubai! However, it changes across time...


The same street in 2003.


With all the 15 % to 25% value of the world's crates, and all that building, Dubai makes it up to

all this, last year. And yeah, it's the same street you see above.
So let's look at some stunning features in Dubai . As watching through the post, you will notice it would sure be something you had never seen before.

 This is a Dubai waterfront. When it's completed, it would be the largest waterfront development - in the world. *(Waterfront : A land on the edge of the body of a water. )
Dubai has made fast developments, as you can see in the picture below. All of that was built in 5 years : can you believe that ? All in just 5 years! (including the palm tree looking like islands)


This is the palm trees islands in Dubai : its  artificial islands, obviously. The New Dutch technology, was used to make these enormous man made islands. These can even  be shown in Space , and they are the largest artificial islands. Upon completion, the resort will have 2,000 villas, 40 luxury hotels, shopping centers, movie theaters, and many other facilities. It is expected to support a population of approximately 500,000 people. It is advertised as being visible from the moon.



So you might think : what's next ? Well, there's more, and this one's a mini - size of the world!


The world islands : 300 artificial islands in the size and shape of the world! Fascinating, isn't it ? Each islands is told to be worth of  estimated cost of 25- 30 million dollars. Dubai also has some ammmmazing hotels :

The Burj al-Arab hotel in Dubai:it's a only 7 stared hotel and the tallest one , and the most luxurious hotel in the world! This also stands on  Considered the only ’7 star’ hotel and the most luxurious hotel in the world. It stands on an artificial island in the sea.)

It's not only the on ground hotels you have it Dubai.. Hydropolis is the world's first underground hotel.  Entirely was built in Germany, and it was assembled in Dubai. It is scheduled to finish in 2009, with many delays.. Imagine all the amazing views you might be able to see under waters! 

  

The Burj Dubai, is the tallest tower, finished in 2008, with over estimated 800 meters of height ! More than 140 stories built, it is the tallest tower, yes, as I said before, and the tallest man made structure ! 

Not only that, there is also another tower to steal the burj's tallest tower name, also in Dubai. 

This would be the centerpiece of the Dubai water front.  This was announced to be built in the height of 1200 meters. (picture below )

One of the hotels in the palm islands,Trump International Hotel & Tower is the centerpiece of one of the palm islands, The Palm Jumeirah .

If the Dubai is all this, without this, it would be incomplete - the Dubai land, is the twice the size of disney land, and is the largest amusement park in the world! Now how's that ?

There is also this Dubai Sports city, a HUGE sport arenas in Dubai land.

Not only that, Dubai is also building a space - port, for space traveling. This would be the first spaceport in the world.

Tallest buildings in the world layering Dubai.

Ski dubai : already opened, largest indoor ski facility in the world.

The dubai mall : the largest shopping mall in the world. 

So How was Dubai ? Isn't it something that makes you just say 'ahhh' and 'oohs' ? A city you would die for? Haha,  Here's some other astonishing facts:

 The Dubai Metro system, once completed, will become the largest fully automated rail system in the world. Many people living in Dubailand could probably use the metro system and donate a car they no longer will need at that point keeping the environment much healthier there as well.
* The Dubai World Central International Airport will become the largest airport in size when it is completed. It will also eventually become the busiest airport in the world, based on passenger volume.
* There are more construction workers in Dubai than there are actual citizens.



Bye for now ! mmmwha!

Wash your hands and to get a toy : a friendly way to step up to children to wash their hands

 Here's a simple and a smart way of washing hands for health - A hand washing promotion from a NPO (Non Profit Organization ) called Blikkiesdorp4Hope ! 

This was a promotion for children who was venerable from diseases by a way called Nudge Marketing. As from the name, Nudge marketing is a soft way for people to choose to the product, by 'nudging' people to buy them, not forcing them. The promotion which was introduced from this community was to put some toys inside the soap , and giving to them, for free. This soap was called ' Hope Soap.' 

 The soap doesn't have any warnings about the disease. It just a soap, which you naturally would get a toy, when you are done with washing your hands with this soap.

kids can get toys naturally, and wash their hands also. It's a good deal - kids can get good health, and also a toy they wanted. 

These nudge marketing seems good and a smart way to make people from poor surroundings to keep their health. I hope kids will be able to keep their health, and learn the importance to wash their hands :)

A mathematician shown in art : Fibonacci and his theory shown in art

This photos are all piecies in art 

A Math Essay : WHO WAS FIBONACCI AND WHAT HAS MADE FIBONACCI ?

WHO WAS FIBONACCI AND WHAT HAS MADE FIBONACCI..?  

• It was in Pisa, Italy, when Fibonacci started his mathematic innovations. Fibonacci was a mathematician, who was born in Pisa, obviously, who discovered many different theories, like the golden ratio, and the Fibonacci sequence in math. He is now called among people, ‘the greatest mathematician that existed in the middle ages. ‘
•  So who was Fibonacci, ‘the greatest mathematician that existed in the middle ages ‘? Fibonacci was a man who was living in Pisa- as I said before, who was born in 1180. Leonardo Pisano – his real name, and throughout his life, he had travelled over the meditarrian sea, gaining mathematic knowledge. He introduced Arabic numbers, to Europe , gaining a foothold to the basic mathematics. His theories are also shown in Liber abaci, a book, published by himself. His books on how to divide, add, multiply, and subtract. It was completed in 1202 and persuaded many European mathematicians of his day to use this "new" system.  
• So what were his theories? Fibonacci sequence was one of his theories, one of the famous works that he has done. Obviously, this sequence was named after Fibonacci that was introduced in the book Liber abaci. This Fibonacci sequence was basically numbers added one after another, starting at 1. For instance, it starts with 1, and 1, and then the next number would be 2, with 1 and 1 – the two numbers at the front, added to make the next number.  And here’s a surprise. If you take any two successive Fibonacci numbers, their ratio is very close to the golden ratio . The basic of beauty, the golden ratio was also one of his works. The golden ratio is the special number equal to 1.618 – which makes a balanced and a ‘pretty’ image of the viewing point. The golden ratio is used in many pieces in many genres – for example, in art – Mona Lisa for example, and in architecture if designing buildings stunning and balanced. Fibonacci also introduced the numbers that we use now – starting with Europe.
• So what were the elements that made Fibonacci  a great mathematician, the foothold of the basic mathematics ? First it moves on to his home, Pisa, Italy. Pisa , was relate to many of Mediterranean ports, during that time. So naturally he was able grow up with a North African education under the Moors , with many merchants working in ports . The merchants taught him their systems of doing arithmetic, making him realise the many advantages of ‘ Hindu – Arabic’ System . He later travelled extensively around the Mediterranean coasts, giving him the basics of what he had developed. His book Liber Abaci was also from the nine Indian figures, and their arithmetic , which was used around the Mediterranean countries, and his book was just a ‘translation’  to make their use more commonly understood in his native Italy. In the matter of fact, I think Fibonacci was more of a importer that brought innovations to mathematics than a ‘mathematician’.
• Fibonacci was a great mathematician who lived in Pisa, Italy, who brought innovations to Europe, and later on to the whole world. His theories are still used until today, being the basic to every mathematics we hold today , and until the future we will face.

December 30, 2013 ;

Hah. Today was an another day at my lazy week. I know, in Korea, its suppose to be Monday and me, as a middle schooler, I should go to school. But since I go to a bording school in Jeju, and its vacation week today, I guess I'm lying on my bed in my house, in Seoul. It was a typical day until my twin Allie was studying and angered off mum, because of her 'anger issues'. Haha, yes, she has 'anger management issues' and she doesn't know it, and its becoming seriously annoying . So mum went to a concert for her 'cooling off' time and I'm stuck at home with dad, until when HE GOES OFF WITH HIS FRIEND leaving me with his friend's daughter! I'm still in that ' awkward state' with that daughter of my dad 's friend. We are still in the same house with her, and I guess we are minding our minding our own work, so... yeah. I guess we can't do anything about that. :( GTG. :)

End of the Year WOO HOO! :D

• I can't believe it's end of the year already ! Wow. Another 365 days past in my life. It seems a LOT happened in my life in 2013, and it's very exciting, actually, aging a one year older,but I guess this would picture as different as people by people. In Korea, we do, have a traditon, as in the end of the year, but I think this would accord to any one of you. We spend time with our families, and congratulate of another year that has past.
• However, I guess this part is different to your country to mine : we celebrate the new year but the countdown, yes, but by ringing a giant bell with celebrities, and we watch it by tv.
• And as in the new year, we celebrate a holiday called 'sul nal' , by the meanings of 'new' , and we also celebrate this with our family, eating a meal called 'dduk gook', which is a greasy soup with meat and rice cake, (:called dduck in korean) which is very delicous and we believe that by eating a meal with dduk gook, we will age one year older. 
  
• DDUK GOOK
• Well, that's it for the Korean tradition for today ! :) Hope you guys have a happy new year from all over the world !HAPPY NEW YEAR! *fireworks*
