This term in pe we have been studying football.

The history of football is…

The first iteration of football was in China, and it was called cuju. It existed from approx 1235-1305. The ball had to be passed to teammates without touching the floor and finally had to be kicked through a circular hole in the middle of the pitch. Like volleyball, the teams did not interact with each other during this game.

Fast forward to the 19th and 20th century the game was played in more of a rugby form until a lot of schools in Britain (and, in the USA, president Theodore Roosevelt) changed the game to more of how it’s played today. In 1904, the International Federation of Association Football, or the Federation Internationale de Football Association. In 1930 the first world cup was held.

Hi everyone, lately in math we have been learning about different graphs and math techniques. The ones we have been focusing on are IQR (inter quartile range), quartile range, and graphs relating to statistics. This doc includes a bunch of other stuff like mean, median, and IQR.

In health this week we did a personality test. My personality type was virtuoso (ISTP-T). My traits are 69% introverted (nice), 59% observant, 68% thinking, 63% prospecting and 76% turbulent. My role was explorer. The test said that I like to be on my own but that my strategy for solving problems is constant improvement. Here is a bit of stuff about me that the test concluded about my personality.

“Virtuosos love to explore with their hands and their eyes, touching and examining the world around them with cool rationalism and spirited curiosity. People with this personality type are natural Makers, moving from project to project, building the useful and the superfluous for the fun of it, and learning from their environment as they go. Often mechanics and engineers, Virtuosos find no greater joy than in getting their hands dirty pulling things apart and putting them back together, just a little bit better than they were before. Virtuosos explore ideas through creating, troubleshooting, trial and error and first-hand experience. They enjoy having other people take an interest in their projects and sometimes don’t even mind them getting into their space. Of course, that’s on the condition that those people don’t interfere with Virtuosos’ principles and freedom, and they’ll need to be open to Virtuosos returning the interest in kind.”

“Virtuosos enjoy lending a hand and sharing their experience, especially with the people they care about, and it’s a shame they’re so uncommon, making up only about five percent of the population.”

“While their mechanical tendencies can make them appear simple at a glance, Virtuosos are actually quite enigmatic. Friendly but very private, calm but suddenly spontaneous, extremely curious but unable to stay focused on formal studies, Virtuoso personalities can be a challenge to predict, even by their friends and loved ones. Virtuosos can seem very loyal and steady for a while, but they tend to build up a store of impulsive energy that explodes without warning, taking their interests in bold new directions.”

Questions

1. What is the difference between a psychopath brain and a non-psychopath brain? “Psychopaths brains do not have a fully developed limbic system so they don’t really have much of a reaction to gruesome images. Take for example, if a psychopath watched the Jeffrey Dahmer documentary, where most people would quit watching or vomit, the psychopath would have no reaction.”
2. What is an interesting fact you have learned so far? “I have learned that as stated above, psychopaths do not have fully developed limbic systems.”
3. “Knowing my personality type doesn’t really change anything, it just gives me further info about myself”
4. 

Samba is a type of music originating from Brazil. it can be attributed to several rhythms. It originated in the late 19th century and is a traditional icon of Brazilian music. The word samba was supposed to mean “popular dance” thus giving away the fact that samba is commonly performed with dancers. It can also be performed in the Portuguese language. There is no consensus among experts on the beginnings of the word “samba”. A traditionalist view would say that the meaning comes from the Bantu in the Diario de Pernambuco in 1830. The term was documented in the publication in a note opposing the sending of soldiers to the countryside of Pernambuco State as a disciplinary measure, as there they could be idle and entertained with “fishing of corrals [traps to catch fish], and climbing coconut trees, in whose hobbies viola and samba will be welcomed “. Another old appearance was recorded in the humorous Recife newspaper O Carapuceiro, dated February 1838 when Father Miguel Lopes Gama of Sacramento wrote against what he called “the samba d’almocreve” – not referring to the future musical genre, but a kind of merriment (dance drama) popular for black people of that time. According to Hiram Araújo da Costa, over the centuries, the festival of dances of enslaved people in Bahia were called samba. In Rio de Janeiro, the word only became known at the end of the 19th century, when it was linked to rural festivities, to the area of Black people and to the “north” of the country, that is, the Brazilian Northeast.
