I found that interesting, especially since we're learning about it in English.]]> 2021-01-11 14:04:47 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074049123 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074052419 What I learned in 2020 is that Samsung was founded in 1938 and sold vegetables and fish. It is neat that they sold alternative items than electronics. ]]> 2021-01-11 14:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074052419 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074052668 I have learned that at least a third of the US population are all very ignorant. For starters, when Anti-Vax rallies showed up, two of the world's deadliest viruses have come back; Polio and Smallpox, after being completely eradicated from the earth. We have found vaccines for both, and still have them to prevent any infections, but as long as these rallies still exist, they will still be viruses we will have to deal with again.  ]]> 2021-01-11 14:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074052668 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074056242 I first learned that Teddy Roosevelt got shot at the beginning of one of his speeches, insulted the man who shot him, finished his 85 minute speech, then went to the hospital. He would also have regular boxing, MMA, and wrestiling matches in the White house with random members of white house staff. One of these boxing matches was with an artillery officer, who was told not to go easy on the president so he accidentily punched him in the eye, causing Roosevelt to go blind in that eye. Also Marie Antoinette is belived to have never said "Let them eat cake". Finally my last favorite fact is that a twinkie is 68% air.]]> 2021-01-11 14:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074056242 aliyahcastillo https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074056442 somethings I learned in 2020, are a lot of medical references/medicals term, and how to do CPR and how to read or tel someones pulse .]]> 2021-01-11 14:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074056442 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074056939 2021-01-11 14:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074056939 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074057386 In 2020 I learned that the borders of African countries were drawn up by Europeans because of their colonies in Africa, and these borders split up African nations across countries. It also put rival nations in the same country, which is why there were many civil wars in Africa after it was decolonized by Europeans.]]> 2021-01-11 14:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074057386 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074058835 Mako sharks are more responsible for shark attacks every year.  Plane wrecks and ship wrecks all these guys are responsible attacks.  Great whites don´t attack people much Makos are much quick than they are and look like sharks who eat small fish and hang around humans  ]]> 2021-01-11 14:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074058835 connerriddle https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074061012 2021-01-11 14:07:11 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074061012 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074061436 i learned that you need to be nive to your family because one day they might not be here ]]> 2021-01-11 14:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074061436 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074063383 Something new I learned in 2020 is people have seen to sleep more lately then ever before. and 2020 has been tiring more than ever then before.]]> 2021-01-11 14:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074063383 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074064082 Something I learned in 2020 is that if you look on google maps and zoom in on many spots in the Midwest, or even many rural areas of states like Nevada or California, you will see hundreds or hundreds of circles, which would almost appear to be alien. It turns out these are just crop fields on farms.]]> 2021-01-11 14:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074064082 margaretmcwhirt https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074064191 A person will die from lack of sleep sooner than they will from starvation, which usually takes a few weeks. You are taller in the morning; throughout the day, the cartilage between your bones is compressed, making you about 1 cm shorter by day’s end. The human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it has been decapitated. During your lifetime, you will produce enough saliva to fill two swimming pools. One person in 20 has an extra rib, and they are most often men.

I think this is kind of crazy to think about because our population is pretty large, but I'm also wondering what is it that causes the population to decrease?  ]]> 2021-01-11 14:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074065887 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074072379 The summit of Mount Everest is about the size of two Ping-Pong tables]]> 2021-01-11 14:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074072379 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074077646 I found out quickly that being alone without having a chance to see anyone drove me to be even more depressed. When I was stuck in quarantine because I had covid, it was agony being stuck in here for a month. Everything I used to do to help with my anxiety now seems useless. I've gotten used to being alone, but it wasn't that bad when school was still fully in session. I also just lost my dog and I can't see my boyfriend so I'm in agony. I can't see anyone except matt and neither of us want to talk.]]> 2021-01-11 14:10:10 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074077646 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074089497 The heads on Easter island have bodies underneath the ground.

I can understand that maybe a fungi could eat oil but neutralize radiation. Neutralizing radiation seems way too bazaar. They also can eat Cigarette butts which kinda makes sense. Its paper so maybe they could get sustenance from that.]]> 2021-01-11 14:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074113711 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074119431 During 2020 I learned and did research a ton about Dwarfism. I learned about how Dwarfism affects many things other then growth, for example Dwarfism can cause issues with lungs, ears, and eyes. I had always struggled with m eyesight but always assumed that it was completely unrelated, but apparently many people with Dwarfism have some sort of eye issue. My mom also always explained to me how when I was younger I had issues with consistent ear infections, which I found out last year (many years after the ear infections stopped) that it was also due to Dwarfism. I also have always had slight lung issues, like extreme coughing fits, that I also found out was due to Dwarfism. This taught me that sometimes even if you have a certain disability, you don't always understand all of it. ]]> 2021-01-11 14:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074119431 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1074429342 something ive learned in 2020 was that That house cats can also catch the Coronavirus.

I focused more on what is called the enneagram and figuring out how to function better with others around be after knowing their type. It has worked surprisingly well and would definitely recommend looking into it. I also did some research on the gut and how it can effect mental health. it has been proven to heal autism patients and heal mental illness. Its truly a amazing project that I hope they carry on more. its been helping me sense I went on the gaps diet, which is recommended to help your gut, it cleanses and heals it. ]]> 2021-01-12 14:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1078520787 https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1079651065 I learned in my animal class that there are over 500 million dominant cats in the world. Cat and humans  have been associated for nearly 10000 years. The world’s oldest living cat is 31 years old. Most cats have no eyelashes, and they cannot see directly under its nose.

I do like my time alone but I do feel like I have days that I need to be around and see people. Also I found out that I work a lot better with people than alone, at least when I know that person and enjoy being with them. Quarantine has been super eye opening to me and to others I'm sure. ]]> 2021-01-15 23:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/amandabiviano/ngads8gnqwcgo127/wish/1093201051
