and http://www.britannica.com.ez.sccd.ctc.edu:2048/EBchecked/topic/545459/O-J-Simpson
These 2 links will be really helpful for my beginning. Why? The main reason is that these 2 links tell me about 2 famous murder in the U.S. OJ Simpson and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. My topic is about the celebrity murders which are about the murders of famous people. These 2 links conclude a lot of information that needed for my presentation

Murder - Topic for presentation

          My topic for the presentation is murder. Murder really has a strong connection with the novel Of Mice and Mouse. There are two murders in the story. The first one is accidental, but the 2nd one is not. Moreover, I want to know more about murders in which the victims are the famous people. I also want to learn about the reasons why people want to kill each other. We are the same human being with one another, and murder is to destroy one individual human being. That's really sinful when we want to, or actually kill some one. Countries around the world already listed murder with a really bad consequence. That is probably the worst punishment for the criminal. In conclusion, murdering is the action of sin.

Phys Ed: Will Training in the Heat Improve Your Performance in the Cold?

Summary: 

           Scientists tried to figure out the answer of the question: Does training in the heat help us to perform when the weather changes, especially when the temperature drops down? They found out the answer by the research from cycling clubs and university's cycling team. They divided these cycling athlete into two groups. These two groups were tested the same process but in different conditions. The process includes couple 45 minutes bicycle riding laps with 10 minutes rest between laps. The first group had to do all the process in a lab heated to 104 degrees. However, the other riders did the process in a cooled lab. So they're in totally different conditions (between hot and cold). Scientists found out that the answer for the question above is no. It's also said “Working out in really cold, wintertime temperatures might be a completely different ballgame,” by Dr. Lorenzo. Dr. Minson also guessed that this finding would be apply in the competition between the competitive bicycling riders and other endurance athlete. However, he didn't know the fact for sure. Moreover, overheated is really dangerous. If your body is feeling overheated, you should slow down or stop your work out process which would be less dangerous for yourself.

Personal Response:

               In my opinion, I think they already found the answer for the question. The fact is that the ones who live in a really hard condition (with a really low temperature) would have a better acclimation. For example, the ones live in Alaska and the tropical native (who lives in tropical country). We can see that the Alaska native can come to and live in any other tropical countries, yet the tropical native couldn't be able to live in Alaska when they first come. I think the competitive runners, bicycle riders would have much better shape than any other athletes. The only reason is that the environment trains them. Training in cold weather would help us to perform when the local temperature drops down.

Vocabulary:

• acclimation (n)           :        adaptation to a new climate (a new temperature or altitude or environment)
• caveat (n)                     :        a warning against certain acts
• cardiovascular (adj)   :        of or pertaining to or involving the heart and blood vessels   

Week 6 - George's Diary

If I were George, I think he would write about the future. I would write in George's diary (If I were George) about our future, me and Lennie, with house and the branch because George and Lennie were trying to get their own branch. I would write about I was step by step getting to our goals. After working at the California branch, we would be able to pay almost all the money for our ranch. Then I think I would write some comments of my own dreams when we wouldn't have to work for other people but ourselves. That would be really good time to spend together when Lennie was tending his rabbits (or chicken if he would like) and I would be working on the farm to get our products. When the winter comes, we would burn the wood in our fireplace to enjoy the warm with hot chocolates. When the spring comes, we go out the ranch to get our products. We would have beef, chickens kept in the frozen to eat for summer and winter. Our future is set :). However, at the end of the day, I would write: "Thank God because of giving us a peaceful day. Thank God because you kept Lennie away from problems. Thank you for everything Lords."
