Minecraft: Making a Minecraft House

One of the first things you need to do is make a shelter in Minecraft. You don't always need to hollow out the side of a mountain,you can make a house from scratch. As you can see I am upgrading my wood house, and this world is different from my old one. Minecraft deleted it. There are so many different types of houses you can make, this time I went with a normal two story house.

What You Will Need

• Pick Axe
• Shovel
• Axe
• Building Materials (Wood, Stone, Cobble stone, Bricks, Planks)
• Wool (Optional)
• Chests, Work bench, Furnaces
• Ladders
• Fences
• Torches

Astronomy of Greece

The Greece had great estimates of Astronomy

Ptolemy's View of the Solar System

Some important discoveries about the planet came from scientists at Alexandria. For example, Eratosthenes found a way to estimate the circumference of the Earth. His estimate was between 28,000-29,000 miles. In reality, the Earth's circumference is 24,901.5 miles. Another man named Aristarchus studied how the sun, moon, and Earth were similar to each other. He estimated that the sun was 300 times the size of the Earth, while it was really 1.3 million times the size of Earth. 


Lastly, the scientist Ptolemy's view of the Solar System was different from what we have now. He viewed the Earth to be at the Center of the solar system, with all the other planets circling it. He was wrong. It was really the sun at the center of the Solar System.

Minecraft: Making a Fire Place

Thing about a fireplace in your house. It makes any living space cozy and comfortable, gives a great source of light and is just fun. These are some of the reasons why many Minecraft gamers have put in a fireplace. Not only does it serve as protection from monsters (they don't spawn in an well-lit area) but it also can be used as a trash can.

Things you need
Pick Axe (stone,diamond,gold,iron) NOT WOOD
Bricks
Flint and steel
3 blocks of Netherrack
Half-Steps, NOT WOOD
A portal to the Nether
===>




You want to make sure you house is NOT made out of wool, or wood. These things can easily lite on fire. This is why we didn't want to use wood half steps to make our fireplace.

First take you pick and use you portal to enter the Underworld. Take three pieces of Netherrack from there.
Teleport back to the regular Minecraft world. NOW WATCH THIS VIDEO:




The Netherrack was lit on fire by the flint and steel!

Utopia

Utopia means any visionary system of political or social perfection. When I say the word Utopia, three things come to mind, peaceful, free, and clean.

A perfect society has perfect people, and that is what makes a perfect society. A society needs peace for people to live without any problems. As one of my friends put it "we need world peace because people around the world are constantly causing wars, fighting with each other, or causing any type of violence." This is of utmost importance. Most of the world’s people do not want to live in a place filled with crime, terrorism, and fatalities. Sadly, in a dystopia this is part of everyday life. 

Having to live in a place where your “two-sense” doesn’t count is not fair. You should get to place your opinion in anything you need to. Voting is a perfect example. If you don’t get to vote then you might have a very unlikable person. It would be like a dictatorship, and this is what happens in some countries around the world.

            The utmost thing of a Utopia is a clean society. Nobody likes a place filled with a sense of pollution. And this is why we can consider our world a dystopia. A dystopia is a bad place to live in.

Minecraft: How to Survive Your First Night

Hi everybody! This tutorial on Minecraft is how to survive your first night. You will need wood,stone and a lot of patience. My Videos are not being accepted by You Tube, so I had to use someone else's.

On your first day you must create a structure good enough to battle a army of monsters. You will need to craft torches, picks, axes, and other handy tools to help you on you journey to reach you goal, diamonds. These is a cheap way to get diamonds, which I will show you next time! Hopefully it will be my video. I really enjoy Minecraft, and I know you will to.

Here is a good link that will give you some tips: http://minepedia.net/index.php?title=Minecraft_Basics

A doggy Friend?

Several studies show that dogs can motivate their owners to be more active. How? The owners have to take their dog for walks regularly. The same study shows that older people are more likely to take walks with dogs rather than a person.

As one researcher put it, “You need to walk, and so does your dog,” said Rebecca A. Johnson, director of the human-animal interaction research center at the University Of Missouri College Of Veterinary Medicine. “It’s good for both ends of the leash.”

A study last year from the University of Missouri showed that for getting exercise, dogs are better walking companions than humans. In a 12-week study of 54 older adults at an assisted-living home, some people selected a friend or spouse as a walking companion, while others took a bus daily to a local animal shelter, where they were assigned a dog to walk.

And the question remains whether owning a dog encourages regular activity or whether active, healthy people are simply more likely to acquire dogs as walking companions.

Clouds=Water?

 The fact that the wispy clouds we see in the sky are really just tiny beads of water vapor can be hard to believe. The idea behind the formation of clouds in the sky is the same idea behind the way steam rises from a Locomotive or the way you can see your breathe on a cold day.
     Water begins on the surface of the Earth in the form of liquid. The Sun heats the surface of the Earth when the temperature rises, water turns from a liquid to a gas through a process called "evaporation." We call water in the form of gas "steam" or "water vapor."
     Because hot air rises, it carries the water vapor with it. The water vapor goes high up into the sky so far up that the air grows cold. When the water vapor grows cold in the high atmosphere, a process known as "condensation" occurs. In this process, water changes back into a liquid. Because little particles of dust are constantly floating in the sky this newly formed liquid water sticks to these tiny particles of dust. This process causes those big, billowy clouds in the sky.
     When enough of this liquid water sticks to enough of these dust particles, clouds become filled to the brink with moisture. When this happens, it rains. That's how fluffy, white clouds can grow to dark, stormy clouds. If this process happens rapidly, big charges of static electricity build up in the clouds—just like when you drag your feet in socks across the carpet. The electricity stays inside the clouds and forms thunderstorms. That's why thunderstorms are so violent because that energy, in the form of water expanding and shrinking quickly, is released all at the same time.
     This process may seem simple, but think about how it can happen over a wide area. Because clouds form over the surface of the entire planet, some clouds can be tens of thousands of feet high and hundreds of miles across. Some clouds could be the size of a large city! In Australia, there's even a type of cloud called a Morning Glory, a single cloud can be up to 1,000 kilometers long!
