After James I died his son Charles I took the throne but after 24 years he was beheaded. Charles II fled and hid in France afterwards. Fore eleven years the country was ruled by parliament then Charles II returned. After he died his brother James II took over he then had a catholic son so the people were worried to have another catholic king so they got William of Orange to try and take over England because he was married to James II protestant daughter Mary. So when William went to try and take the crown from James II, James fled to France. And William and Mary were accepted into England as King and Queen with out a fight.
Satire is like making fun of how people are in a sarcastic way so that people could think what you were saying you meant. A lot of popular comedy shows today us satire as their whole idea. Family Guy and The Simpson’s are the two biggest examples that come to my mind. As they make fun of all common people.
It throws you off at the beginning because he talks so serious as well as throws in a lot of facts as if it was real scientific study. When he finally says his idea of eating children it really does sound like he’s being serious but later you can tell he’s using satire. He is making fun of how the upright English people think of “lower” people.
In the diary of Samuel Pepys it is him just writing about cretin days of his life. Just through his eyes. It shows what it is like through a normal person eyes back then. Not just a fictionally story from someone else’s view. Like during a public execution he talked about how it was in the crowd like the great shouts of joy he said.
He then was part of the famous Great Fire of London. He apparently woke up at first and thought little of it and went back to sleep but then woke up again to find it spreading. So he then leaves and sees all the people leaving the fire and how it engulfed peoples homes.
During this time what was really important was that people liked to trust facts, instead of what people just think. That is very important because it changed a lot of the writing that people came up with. Also people questioned a lot more of what has been said for a long time.

It explains how you get sicknesses that you already have when you already had it. Like One example is that a lot of the time with the flu it isn’t the same as the flu you got before. That it is slightly different even though it feels the same. Another is that the bacteria can mutate so that it is resilient against stuff that kills it.
The article I thought was really informative because it explains a lot of things that weren’t known to me. It did a lot of in depth speaking about the four different reasons why you would get sick again from the same illness when your body is suppose to have a immunity to things that you already had.
In Japan they give out a lot of drugs for virus and diseases but not everyone is using them responsively. So the virus are building up a immunity to the drugs they survived. They found that certain flu virus that are less common are showing up to be more resilient to the current vaccines. So they have to come out with new drugs to fight them more effectively.
I think that they shouldn’t be giving out the drugs so much because it is bad for people to be so dependent on the drugs that the effectiveness goes down. On top of this they aren’t taking all of them so that the virus isn’t be totally killed. So the viruses are getting harder to kill.
In Alaska there are a lot of wolves. On top of that a lot of the villages are isolated so it’s easy to be attacked and hard to get treatment. In Alaska rabies is very rare but when it does accrue it can be very problematic. Since rabies is a fatal virus and can’t be cured unless caught in the first stages. So what the people in Anchorage have to do is kill any dogs that are attacked by the wolves and kill any stray dogs.
It is a very serious treat to everyone around the wolves due to the fact that rabies is so dangerous because it takes so long to find out if an animal that attacked you had rabies if not caught. You also have to take multiple shots to prevent getting rabies, which takes up to a couple of months to finish. Which is why its such a big deal to the people in Anchorage.

What is a synapse? It is the space between nerve cells
Sketch a neuron and label the axon and the dendrite.
Nerve article
The article is about how scientist can make chemical detectors for homeland security or during war zones to protect people. To make these detectors they use 3 of the 21 existing human embryonic stern cell lines that are grandfather. They say that they could have a working detector with in a year. Then they talk about how they can get stem cells from under developed fetuses so that it wouldn’t be as morally wrong but the bill for this was vetoed from the president.
I think that stem cell research would be very beneficial to people. This detector is a great example of how it can help us. So much is wasted because a lot of people think using parts of us ourselves is wrong but using animals is ok.

beauty video
Do you think that the symmetry test conducted on the baby was flawed? How? Describe how you would design an experiment that could fool the baby and skew the results.
I think that it was flawed because it could be looking at some longer because they looked worse. It might remind them of someone they know.
What is missing from this video about beauty?
They are missing qualities like personality. Also personal preference is said to be none important. Which isn’t true. A lot of times someone says they think a person is really beautiful but I don’t think they are.
What are features that might break the "typical" beauty rules? How are these different from the "typical" beauty rules? To be beautiful doesn’t mean being totally simectical. Somebody having none
simectical hair doesn’t mean its not good looking. Also you don’t have to have vivid colors for beauty.
How does this video make you feel about beauty? That people take it too seriously. They become crazy about it. I thinks mostly deals with personal views not a science that they were making it.
What is it about the skin that makes it return to its place? What property is this?
What are the risks of cosmetic surgery? Would you ever do it? What would you be willing to risk for cosmetic surgery? How long will it last? I think its stupid. People act crazy about how they look. I don’t want anything changed of myself. I’m happy to be how I am. So I wouldn’t be willing to risk anything for it.
Someone in the video is quoted as saying that "make-up can make anyone prettier." Do you agree with this? Support your answer. No I don’t think so because having make up on isn’t what you really look like. It is a mask that they are hiding behind because they are worried about how they look. It is cheating your looks like plastic surgery.
Do you think that there are cultural differences in how cosmetic surgery is viewed?
Yes because different cultures have different views on physical beauty. As well as they might have different views on how you can change your body. Like some would say god made you how he wanted you and to change that is an insult to god.

Organization of the Human body worksheet
1. Explain the difference between anatomy and physiology. Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of how the body part work.
2. Please organize the following structures in order from smallest to largest: system, tissue, organ, and cell.
Cell, tissue, organ, and system
3. In the term physiology the suffix -logy means what? Study of
4. What is the type of membrane that lines all of the passages leading the exterior? Mucous
5. What do you call a mass of cells that all perform the same function? Tissue
6. What type of tissue is specialized for the conduction of nerve impulses? nerve
7. The term epidermis contains a prefix and a root term. What is the root in this word and what does it mean? What is the prefix in this word and what does it mean? Dermis: layer epi: outer most
8. The term cavity appears frequently in this lesson. What does it mean? A hole
9. Name the four main types of tissue and describe their function.
Epithelial: is the skin
connective: supports and protects bones, cartilage, adipose
muscle: Specializes in contractiving
nerve: specialized for the conduction of neural impulses
10. A cell is made of cytoplasm except for the nucleus which is made of protoplasm
11.What type of membrane lines joint cavities and outer surfaces of bones? Fibrous
12. What is an organ system? Several organs that do the same function.
13. Name the five types of membranes and where each is located.
Cutaneous: membrane that forms the skin.
Mucous: lines all the passageways that lead to the exterior of the body
Fibrous: lines all the joints cavities also cover the outer surface of bones
Serous: lines closed cavities and the organs that are in them
Fascia: covers muscles, lies below the dermis, clovers glands, blood vessels and nerves
14. What is the function of the cell membrane? The nucleus? The membrane keeps the cytoplasm in and the nucleus controls growth repair and reproduction
15.The cutaneous membrane is made of two distinct layers. Name each of these layers and describe what they are made of. Epidermis: is made up of epithelial sheets of the coetaneous membrane.
Dermis: the dermis is composed mainly of connective tissue and microscopic organs such as sweat glands and sebaceous glade.
