Farewell year 6

There is always a start and an end. Let’s say the first grade in school is the start and the sixth grade in school is the end. Then I am on the end now. And I am very sad and depressed. It’s because I have to leave this school and also miss the great friends who helped me a lot. (Everyone) Also, I am very nervous and little bit scared of the new start in middle school. But before being scared of something I should be ready for it. Also try to end this grade better. I think to end this grade better I should try to remember and reflect the year I had with wonderful friends.

 First thing I want to do is to say thank you to every one. The friends really helped me a lot with expressing myself and showing what I really want. Especially, Jin Woo, Min Jeong, Seo Hyun, Ji You, and Mi Jeong helped a lot. They taught me confidence. I was a very quiet girl in first semester because I wasn’t very used to Korean culture and language. Nevertheless, in second semester I got different. I was talking and expressing myself confidently. Also the two teachers made me a better person. I became a risk-taker. Now I can present my work better.

 There are things that I have to say sorry and apologize. However, I won’t do that part. It’s because it’s going to sound said. Anyways, I am really going to miss this school and friends. (including teachers) They helped so much me preparing for the new start. I really want me to have good time in middle school. But also the friends who I love.

Kenya History

IT was recently  found  near Lake Turkana that ustralopithecus anamensis lived in the area which is the Kenyan territory now.  Lastesy, discoveries in the Tugen Hills dated to approximately 6 million years ago precipitated the naming of a new species,the Orrorin tugenensis.

The colonial history of Kenya dates from the establishment of Imperial Germany‘s protectorate over the Sultan of Zanzibar‘s coastal possessions in 1885, followed by the arrival of Sir William Mackinnon‘s British East Africa Company (BEAC) in 1888, after the company had received a royal charter and concessionary rights to the Kenya coast from the Sultan of Zanzibar for a 50-year period. Incipient imperial rivalry was forestalled when Germany handed its coastal holdings to the British Empire in 1890, in exchange for German control over the coast of Tanganyika. The colonial takeover met occasionally with some strong local resistance: Waiyaki Wa Henya, a Kikuyu chief who ruled Dagoretti who had signed a treaty with Frederick Lugard of the BEAC, having been subject to considerable harassment, burnt down Lugard’s fort in 1890. Waiyaki was abducted two years later by the British and killed.

At Kenyatta’s death (August 22, 1978), Vice President Daniel arap Moi became interim President. On October 14, Moi became President formally after he was elected head of KANU and designated its sole nominee. In June 1982, the National Assembly amended the constitution, making Kenya officially a one-party state. On August 1 members of the Kenyan Air Force launched an attempted coup, which was quickly suppressed by Loyalist forces led by the Army, the General Service Unit (GSU) — paramilitary wing of the police — and later the regular police, but not without civilian casualties.

International Space Station

http://www.shuttlepresskit.com/ISS_OVR/index.htm

More than four times as large as the Russian Mir space station, the completed International Space Station will have a mass of about 1,040,000 pounds. It will measure 356 feet across and 290 feet long, with almost an acre of solar panels to provide electrical power to six state-of-the-art laboratories.

Making

The international partners, Canada, Japan, the European Space Agency, and Russia, will contribute the following key elements to the International Space Station:

?Canada is providing a 55-foot-long robotic arm to be used for assembly and maintenance tasks on the Space Station.

?The European Space Agency is building a pressurized laboratory to be launched on the Space Shuttle and logistics transport vehicles to be launched on the Ariane 5 launch vehicle.

?Japan is building a laboratory with an attached exposed exterior platform for experiments as well as logistics transport vehicles.

?Russia is providing two research modules; an early living quarters called the Service Module with its own life support and habitation systems; a science power platform of solar arrays that can supply about 20 kilowatts of electrical power; logistics transport vehicles; and Soyuz spacecraft for crew return and transfer.

In addition, Brazil and Italy are contributing some equipment to the station through agreements with the United States.

Uhttp://spaceflight.nasa.gov/history/station/index.html

The Soviet nion launched the world’s first space station, Salyut 1, in 1971 – a decade after launching the first human into space. The United States sent its first space station, the larger Skylab, into orbit in 1973 and it hosted three crews before it was abandoned in 1974. Russia continued to focus on long-duration space missions and in 1986 launched the first modules of the Mir space station.

EARLY HISTORY: The development of the space station concept (1869-1969)

In 1869, the Atlantic Monthly published the work by Edward Everett Hale, where he described the “Brick Moon,” a satellite 60 meters in diameter with the crew of 37, which helps to navigate ships at sea. At the turn of the 20th century, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky in Russia envisioned many elements of future spaceflight, including space station. By 1923, Hermann Oberth wrote “The Rocket to Planetary Space,” a theoretical work, discussing among other things the roles and the design of the space station. By 1929, the H. Noordung advances the idea of the station further in his work “The Problems of Navigating the World.” (92) With the beginning of Space Age, the space station concept could be examined based on existing technology

MIR-2: Russian roots of the ISS program (1969-1992)

With the loss of the moon race in 1969, the Russian government adopted the space station concept as the major direction for the Soviet manned program. Since then several generations of the Salyut, Almaz and finally Mir space stations had flown. Mir-2 would follow as the main Russian effort in the manned spaceflight. The project went through several reincarnations during the 1980′s and beginning of the 1990s, starting with the large space station launched by the Energia super heavy-lift booster and ending with a more modest design of the Proton-launched core and a single truss carrying solar arrays and helio-concentrators. Not unlike, Freedom project, the station could grow as more modules are added. However, unlike Freedom, the crew could board the station immediately after the launch of the first element — the core module.

FREEDOM: US roots of the ISS (1969-1992)

In 1972, Nixon administration approved the development of the reusable Space Shuttle as a main direction for the US manned space program. The Space Shuttle was envisioned as a cheap and reliable transportation system between Earth and low orbit. For NASA it meant the Space Shuttle would launch and service a space station — the next “logical step” in the human exploration of space. However these dreams were stalled for years by the difficult birth of the Space Shuttle. Finally in 1984, President Reagan gave official green light to the ambitious project, which envisioned permanently manned space station by 1991.

ISS: Year by year chronology of the ISS project

As President Clinton moved into the Oval Office in 1993, NASA was asked for another redesign of the space station Freedom. In response, NASA came up with three options known as A, B, and C, however none of them would meet the projected budget restrictions. At the time, Russian Space Agency proposed NASA to merge Freedom and Mir-2 projects. The inclusion of the Mir-2 core module into the Freedom design would allow early presence of the crew onboard, while the use of Progress cargo ships would provide much cheaper and reliable refueling and supply capabilities for the station, comparing to the use of the Space Shuttle. On Sept. 2 Russian Prime Minister Victor Chernomurdin and US Vice President Al Gore signed an agreement to merge Freedom and Mir-2 projects.

Hardware

USA

NASA carried the biggest share of the station price tag. The US Space Shuttle served as a major carrier of the station’s elements to orbit, including US-built main truss of the station, four sets of solar arrays, and radiators, US-built laboratory and habitable modules, interconnected with the special node modules, the big airlock for spacewalks, assembly and servicing platforms and eventually reusable “lifeboat” for the crew.

RUSSIA

Russian Aviation and Space Agency, pledged to contribute key elements, originally developed for the Mir-2 program, into the ISS project. Moscow-based Khrunichev enterprise has also built the first element of the station — Zarya/FGB control module — under contract with Boeing. The Zvezda service module, the copy of the Mir’s core module, provided living quarters and propulsion capabilities; Docking Compartment brings an airlock and additional docking port for the Russian segment. Science and Power Platform carried solar arrays and radiators, Universal Docking Module provided docking ports for at least three application modules.

EUROPE

The Western-European countries-members of the European Space Agency provided Columbus pressurized science lab and a free-flying platform, which could dock to the station. At the beginning of the 1990s, the length of the module had to be reduced, a free-flying platform completely dropped from the project. In a separate contract with NASA, Italy is building resupply modules carried in the Shuttle cargo bay. A special Ariane-5-launched space tug, ATV, built by the European Space Agency with the Russian help, would provide additional cargo supply capability to the station.

JAPAN

National Space Agency of Japan, NASDA, contributed into the project a pressurized lab and unpressurized science platform. Although the original plans expected that Japanese launch vehicles and mini-shuttle could support the program, but neither was ready by the time the assembly of the station started in 1998.

CANADA

Canadian engineers used their extensive experience gained in the course of developing of the robotic arm for the US Shuttle, to design even more elaborate and sophisticated robotic systems, which would facilitate the assembly and servicing of the International Space Station.

BRAZIL

Brazil promised to build special carriers, which would be installed externally on the station’s main truss and serve as platforms for the outpost’s payloads. On October 14, 1997, the Brazilian and US governments (represented by the Brazilian Space Agency – AEB and by NASA) signed an agreement where Brazil agreed to provide parts for the ISS to NASA and will have utilization rights.

PENCILCASE^^

Making this pencilcase was a very hard job. Although i got bit of my mother’s

help it was still my first time to make a pencilcase my hand. However everytime I

finish and do part of it I felt exciting and also achiveness. ( normally it is hard to have that

feeling without having to do a new thing.)  Anyways, the hard part was presenting it to the class

not the sewing. I am kind of shy of doing something, and marketing this pencilcase made me

a good experience. When I was presenting my pencilcase to the class I was very nervous and also

thought that my advertisement wasa bit messy.

When I was actually sewing and cutting cloth I was very bad at it. But i tried to do my best. Nevertheless when ever I took it home and showed it to my mom, she kind of changed it a bit. I always had a concern when I was making it.  It was because that my pencil case was so simple and had less advantages then other students pencilcase.  But still I am proud of my pencilcase and really thankful to mr.voborsky because he mad me a new experience.

BEUTIFUL and USEFUL and PERFECT PENCILCASE FOR U

There might be some more useful pencil cases around the world.

However, IF you use it for few minutes you will really love this

Pencil case. This pencil case has a simple design. Not messy and

Annoying. It will be good for students and everyone around the world.

I, myself like this pencil case. Not only the because I made it, it’s

Because it is modern and pretty. Also has vintage design and modern

Design at the same time.

You know the price is just so perfect…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell is very famous for inventing telephone. He was a scientist, inventor,

and invator. However, he was famous for being an inventor. Many other inventions marked Bell’s later

life including groundbreaking work in hydrofoils and aeronautics. He was a smart man and also his

family had helped him with his works.  And in 1888 he became one of the founding member of

National Geograohic society. Then Bell died of pernicious anemia on 2 August 1922, at his private

estate, Beinn Bhreagh, Nova Scotia, at age 75.^[
