Bob Geldof who has had great success as the main singer with the group called the Boomtown Rats. He was born in Ireland in 1951 he found a passion for music which lead him and the group to have a first hit single ‘Rat Trip’ followed by another hit being released called ‘I Don’t Like Mondays’. Followed in 1984 Bob was known as a rock star but soon was known as an international celebrity in order for raising awareness of humanitarian charities. In the same year, Ethiopia and other African countries experienced a severe famine which led to many thousands of people starving to death. Bob Geldof and Midge Ure decided to do something about helping and spreading awareness for these countries. They released a hit called “Do they know its Christmas Time”.
Whose Midge Ure?
Midge Uru
Midge Uru -part of the band Ultravox- began his musical career with Salvation that became a bubblegum band Silk in 1974. Not agreeing with the change of direction Midge Uru left the band to join the Rich Kids. 1982 Midge released a solo single which was a cover of the Walker Brothers' hit "No Regrets". This solo single climbed into the U.K. Top Ten.
Ethiopia?
Ethiopia
Ethiopia is a country located in East Africa. It is rugged, landlocked country meaning that it has no sea around it - so it doesn’t have ports (it is also split by the Great Rift Valley.) It is around many other countries that have had civil wars with each other so I guess it’s neighbours are very loud. It has plenty of rivers and one lake based on it. Ethiopia is 10 degrees North along the latitude line it is also 50 degrees east on the longitude line.

Choose a song from Live Aid...
Bohemian Rhapsody
Explain why you think the artist used this song for their performance...
I think Queen used this song for their performance is because it is quite a powerful song, it also hypes the crowd up. Another reason why is because it's their most popular song.
Do you think it is a form of protest?
I think in some way it is due to the way Freddie Mercury sings this song, He is so passionate about it and even the rest of Queen puts their heart and soul into music. I think it could be a protest due to the line "Mama just killed a man." Live Aid was organised the raise money for the famine-stricken Africas and so I think that line relates to many people who have starved over there.
Do you think one person could start a similar concert in 2020? Explain your reasoning (Live Aid took 10 weeks to organise.)
I think it is possible but it wouldn't be as incredible as it was back in 1985. I say this because everyone in 1985 didn't have autotune and they actually played their instruments. If they did it again we would see people like Drake and many others in the line ups. Except they couldn't start a similar concert in 2020 due to Covid 19 and the high risk of terrorist ruining the shows.
How significant are music and musicians today in affecting change in the world?
If you compare someone like Justin Bieber to Michael Jackson there is a huge difference. I think the artists now really focus on Mental & Emotion outcomes other than a change in the world. Michael Jackson and many others would incorporate world problems in their songs and then some artists would have charities to help change the world. I think the music now days is not promoting world change compared the other artists in 1985.
In Health we were set a task that required us to create something explaining your topic. Firstly I chose steroids in sport but before I could research I came up with 5 big questions plus my own. From there I got all my information and decided to display my work on an old fashion newspaper that I would draw on paper. I am proud of my work because it was independent and I didn't give up.
South Korea is known for its entertainment, specifically, its music called K- pop. They are also known for the famous food called kimchi and Samyang, a noodle company which has produced the spiciest noodles in the world with a rating of 8,000 Scoville Heat Units.
Climate
Climate – how does this influence the food grown? The climate in Korea is up and down throughout the year. In winter the climate is long, cold, and dry, summer is short, hot and humid.
Since Koreas climate is hot, the climate causes some problems with agriculture in South Korea. In tropical weather, Bacteria and plant illnesses can grow quickly which can ruin crops, luckily Korea has adapted to this, but because of the climate, they are also able to grow things they weren’t able to before such as sugar cane, papaya and more.

Table Etiquette
When eating in South Korea
Drinking etiquette - Never pour your drink, always be alert for your neighbour’s cup or anyone else glass. If it is less than half full your neighbour is obliged to fill it up for you. If they don’t fill it up, still don’t fill it up, it can cause you to lose face. You can indicate by pouring a little more into your neighbour’s glass. Always wait to be seated, wait for the oldest person/people to sit down first before you take a seat at the table. The honoured guest, who is usually the oldest there, takes the seat of honour farthest from the door. Before you begin it is polite to say that you are looking forward to the meal. In Korean people say “ I will eat well”. When eating, wait for the oldest person/ people to lift their spoon or chopsticks first before you can start eating. Don’t blow your nose at the tale, it is considered impolite. If you need to use a tissue, excuse yourself and go to another room to do so. Eat at the same pace as everyone else, especially the elders. This helps to make the meal more enjoyable for everyone. Don’t hold your bowls while eating like other Asian countries. Always pour for the people older than you. When someone gives you something hold both hands out when accepting the dish or drink. When pouring a drink for someone who is a senior to you, place your other hand lightly under your pouring hand or your opposite elbow. Don’t stick your chopsticks straight up into your bowl because it resembles traditional Korean ancestor ceremonies. It is disrespectful but also considered bad luck. When finished, utensils go back onto the table. If you are in somebody else’s house, or they have treated you, it is customary to say thanks after the meal. In Korean people say “I ate well”.
Table Setting
Bv 4
Koreans serve all dishes on one table at the same time as an open pattern. The basis of the table setting is for one person.
Cooking Methods
Koreans mainly use simple methods such as pickling, stewing, grilling or pan-frying. Pickling is used for vegetables as it preserves the food and makes it tastier. Most times Koreans would pickle the vegetables in salted water after seasoning the vegetables. For example, Kimchi is made with cabbage, salt, garlic, ginger, sugar, and fish sauce, shrimp paste or water and gochugaru (Korean Chili Pepper). You then mix it all up and let it ferment it until you want to use it. Stewing is making a stew, it is made with broth and is rather quite spicy. Soup can make you feel full quickly on a low-calorie yet quite satisfying meal. Grilling is used for most Korean meats and seafood as it can heighten the taste of the meat by preserving the juices. Your meat is first marinated before quickly being cooked over coal. Pan-frying is mainly used for savoury pancakes called Jeon, frying meat, fish vegetables, tofu or for pan-frying dumpling. The pancakes can have additions like mung beans, kimchi and scallions, as it can make the pancakes more flavourful
Preparation of food
When preparing to cook Koreans use technology and normal kitchen equipment to make foods. Koreans use Rice cookers, stone pots, grill plates, A mandolin, big bowls, gloves and containers. Koreans use stone pots for cooking bibimbap as you can put it on a stove and eat it straight from the pot too. Grill plates are used for grilling, as Koreans love eating grilled meat. Koreans use mandolins to cut up vegetables like cabbage easily as the blades are sharp enough and it is simpler to use. Koreans use big gowls, gloves and containers to mainly make Kimchi, People in Korea make kimchi in bulk so that it can ferment for long er and the taste can be better than eating it straight away. They also use containers to store foods for later consumption.
Sesame oil -
Sesame Oil is an amber-coloured, aromatic oil, made from pressed toasted sesame seeds that is a common ingredient in Korean cooking. It is not used as a cooking oil due to its intense nutty and buttery flavour and aroma; however, because of that, it is an excellent seasoning and flavour enhancer. It is used in most Korean foods to give it a nice glaze of sesame. The oil has been used for generations and is said to be “ubiquitous” which means it is everywhere.
Sesame oil can be paired with any Korean food and ingredients because of its savoury and nutty taste. Koreans use Sesame oil to add richer taste in stews, veggies, bibimbap and more.
Kimchi - People in Korea make it and ferment it properly, whereas people can just buy it in an Asian store pre-packed
Well, this was a last-minute choice… The main reason this dish was our final choice was that it is that people know it is a good, delicious dish from Korea. Also, we love fried chicken with flavour so we thought we would give it ago.
What we liked about the final recipe
After tasting the Barbecue wings we thought about what we liked. After deciding we thought that the sauce was the best thing about the dish. We liked how the sauce was spicy but had a sweet aftertaste. The sauce wasn’t on as many wings as there wasn’t that much sauce which was a bit sad. We also liked how crispy the wings were as they were crunchy on the outside, but the chicken was tender and warm on the inside.
What we would change if we did it again
We would double check with the teacher that they have all the ingredients before we started preparing the food. Another thing is we would have patted the wings dry of oil before we put it in the sauce. The reason we didn’t do this is that we were rushing to get it all finished in an hour. Now we would have doubled the frying mixture and the sauce mixture since it didn’t do all the wings! Lastly, we would actually use wings instead of nibbles.
What did you learn during this practical process (this includes the planning section) e.g. how to budget, the adaptations, the measurements, cooking skill? How do you know this?
We learned a lot during this process as we learnt how to budget ourselves for what we actually need. Sofia also learnt how to fry chicken with oil, which she still struggles with frying things. We also learned that we shouldn’t rush through making the wings, as it can affect the final product and make it harder.
Explain the adaptations you may have had to make to this recipe and the reason for why this adaptation had to occur in the first place Eg personal likes and dislikes, cost, availability of ingredients.
One adaptation we had to make was replacing the ingredient gochujang for chilli paste. We had to do this since Countdown didn’t have it in stock so we had to make do with chilli paste. Another thing we had to change was using grated ginger to ginger paste, in order to rub onto the wings before frying.
We had to create a Prezi to explain what budgeting is basically. In my, Prezi is just a little bit about the importance and explanation of different words.
Today I focused on floor work with my friend Sofia. Instead of 'Gymnastics', we decided to do a bit of yoga working on our balance and strength. We did/tried multiple stances so it was basically a challenge. It was a lot of fun and we had a few laughs. The three main points of this were balance, strength and trust in one another. I think we did well.
Impulse buying is a normal thing that humans do when out shopping. It has become a common thing and is very hard to not have the temptation to not buy unnecessary stuff. Impulse buying could maybe put you in debt or ruin your savings since it is basically like an addiction.
Down below is a little flyer/brochure filled with information about impulse buying and a little hack that supermarkets do to get you to impulse buy.
Impulse buying is not a good thing to adapt too. In fact, it can be a very scary addiction due to the outcomes it may have on you and your family. It's okay to buy the occasional treat but please don't get into impulse buying it can come back and bite you in the future.
Throughout Business, we have been learning about banking and what it is all about. The DLO I have created is a crossword defining some keywords in banking. I honestly found this quite easy and simple as in understanding each thing. Did you find the crossword easy? Do you understand banking?
Use these important dates/events that led to the signing of the Treaty to create a history road.
Include a brief description of each event.
1833
On the 5th of May, James Busby arrives in the Bay of Islands. Then in the following year 1834 Busby got northern chiefs to vote for their own flag. The intention was that a flag would provide a means for encouraging Maori to act collectively, and the fledgling colony needed its own flag for its trading ships to be legitimately operating in the Pacific.
1835
Frenchman Baron Charles de Thierry claimed to have purchased 40,000 acres in the Hokianga. He planned to establish a ‘sovereign and independent state’. The French plan led Busgby to draw up a Declaration of Independence in 1835.
1837
In December 1837 the British government decided in principle to intervene in New Zealand to ensure that colonisation was regulated and that land transactions that defrauded Māori were stopped. The government had initially tried to avoid assuming responsibility. Instead, it had attempted to influence the interaction of Māori and British settlers through the missionaries and by sending British Resident James Busby to work with chiefs. In mid-1839 the British government decided to annex at least part of New Zealand to New South Wales.
1839
The British government appointed William Hobson as consul to New Zealand in 1839. Hobson was instructed to obtain sovereignty over all or part of New Zealand with the consent of a sufficient number of chiefs. New Zealand would come under the authority of George Gipps, the governor of New South Wales, and Hobson would become Gipps’ lieutenant-governor. Land-buying agents continued swarming over New Zealand in anticipation of purchases.
1840
Governor Gipps prohibited further private land purchases from Māori, and no existing claims were to be recognised until they had been investigated by the authorities. William Hobson repeated the proclamation at the Bay of Islands on 30 January 1840.
1840
The Treaty of Waitangi was signed on 6 February 1840. The previous day a draft of the Treaty in English and Māori was discussed before about 500 Māori and 200 Pākehā. Many Māori were suspicious of what was intended, but Tāmati Wāka Nene among others helped sway the chiefs towards acceptance. The meeting reassembled on 6 February; the text was read again, and signing commenced. About 40 chiefs signed on the first day; by September 1840 another 500 chiefs around the country had signed. Almost all of the chiefs signed copies of the Māori text of the Treaty. On 21 May William Hobson proclaimed sovereignty over all of New Zealand: over the North Island on the basis of cession through the Treaty of Waitangi and over the southern islands by right of discovery. Māori agreement to the terms of the Treaty was still being sought. Hobson may have wanted to declare the Crown’s authority over the whole country because he had learned of possible moves by the New Zealand Company to set up its own administration around Cook Strait. His deputy, Major Thomas Bunbury, also made proclamations of sovereignty over Stewart Island on 5 June by right of discovery (he claimed that no Māori could be found there to sign the Treaty),and over the South Island on 17 June by virtue of cession.
The Volcán de Colima, 3,820 m, also known as Volcán de Fuego, is part of the Colima Volcanic Complex consisting of Volcán de Colima, Nevado de Colima and the eroded El Cántaro. It is the youngest of the three and as of 2015 is one of the most active volcanos in Mexico and in North America
Where is it?
Volcán de Colima is located in Jalisco / Colima in Mexico. Jalisco is a western Mexican state fringing the Pacific Ocean. The state is known for mariachi music and tequila, both of which reportedly originated here. The capital, Guadalajara, is peppered with colonial plazas and landmarks like the neoclassical Teatro Degollado and regal Guadalajara Cathedral, with its twin gold spires. The neighbouring Palacio de Gobierno houses murals by Mexican artist José Clemente Orozco.
When did it last erupt?
The last time Volcán de Colima erupted was in May 11th 2019 for when it stopped later on July 12 2019. Yet it's last proper eruption was in January 2017.
Damage it has done?
There is no information on this except a photo of the hot rocks ruining the road. So I'm guessing since it's away from houses and stuff that it can only damage the nature and the roads.
How and when was it formed?
The currently active cone is within a large caldera that was probably formed by a combination of landslides and large eruptions. The lava is andesite containing 56-61% SiO2. About 300,000 people live within 40 km (25 miles) of the volcano, which makes it the most dangerous volcano in Mexico.
Interesting Random Facts...
a. Colima volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in North America and
one of the potentially most dangerous ones.
b. It has had more than 30 periods of eruptions since 1585, including several
significant eruptions in the late 1990s.
c. It has had more than 30 periods of eruptions since 1585, including several
significant eruptions in the late 1990s.
Myths / Legends about it?
The legend says that several centuries ago, in the years of the Mexican colony, king Coliman, governor of the region, and his faithful court members lived in his mansion on the outskirts of the volcano. After a discussion with his Spanish superior, Coliman and his followers were surrounded in his own mansion, their water and food supplies were cut, and they were told they’d be killed if they tried to escape. They survived for several months but as they could not live for much longer and their death was inevitable, they all tried to escape one night, but they were discovered by the Spaniards. To avoid being captured, the king threw himself into the volcano along with his court members. Ever since, those who live in the region say that the volcano makes eruption when the descendants of king Coliman or his court are mistreated.

How does a volcano erupt?
Volcanoes erupt when molten rock called magma rises to the surface. Magma is formed when the earth's mantle melts. ... Runny magma erupts through openings or vents in the earth's crust before flowing onto its surface as lava. If magma is thick, gas bubbles cannot easily escape and pressure builds up as the magma rises.
Effects of a volcanic eruption...
Further effects are the deterioration of water quality, fewer periods of rain, crop damages, and the destruction of vegetation. During volcanic eruptions and their immediate aftermath, increased respiratory system morbidity has been observed as well as mortality among those affected by volcanic eruptions.
Since I got into my group we decided to do another volcano called Krakatoa which is located in Indonesia.
After we created our volcano (paper masque, newspaper and flour + water to create glue.) We painted it black so it looked like it at night time.
Our explosion was okay we decided to use elephant toothpaste as the 'lava.'
How we made elephant toothpaste was...
Method for elephant toothpaste...
What you need...
15mL of warm water
25mL of hydrogen peroxide
3 spatulas of potassium iodine
Food colouring
The crafting...
Add 3 spatulas of potassium iodine into the warm water and stir
Meanwhile add the hydrogen peroxide, food colouring and soap (dishwashing liquid) into a bottle or a container - in our case the bottle of our volcano.
Next, lightly mix around the hydrogen peroxide mixture.
Then add the warm water into it and watch it form elephant toothpaste.
On Wednesday the 23rd of September 2020 we held our market day at the school (we sold fruit kebabs). Three things that worked well was selling the food, the customers we got and the sell out at the end of the day. This has nothing to do with our business plan, but at least we sold everything. Sadly our business plan didn't work well since we weren't using good communication and never made time to work on stuff. This was a let down since one person mainly carried the load (except the other person helped give ideas.) Another let down was that one person would be very pushy and try take control over everything. We also left making the fruit kebabs at the last minute... This had nothing to do with our business plan since at the start we had three people on board. Three changes I would include would be not wasting time on the paper work as well as create more time EXCEPT we had basketball training in the middle of class so that didn't help. Another thing I would change is actually not depending on one person to do all the work. I think if we had more people, no interruptions and everyone would help work on stuff... we wouldn't rush and we would of had a smoother day. Since our day was quiet rough and sorta effected friendships since we weren't really organised. Apart from that, I'm quiet happy how we did except I would like to do something more affordable and easier that we could prepare before the day.
So folks for the past few weeks we have been learning and creating how to use prezi, with finding out information about Christchurch. This helped a lot because it has given me a new resource to use when creating presentations. The link below is my prezi presentation about Chritschurch and Canterbury...
What I have learnt from my esearch is that Christchurch is getting a new stadium for rugby games (it's actually confirmed.) I found this really interesting since I love watching rugby games and the fact we would be able to host an All Black's game is amazing! I also enjoyed learning about Lyttleton since that town holds so many events in history it isn't funny. The most interesting thing I found out was where half of Christchurch's street names came from, I quiet enjoyed that. What I recommend what we should of added to the prezi is about finding out a person who had an impact or an interesting history in the community or even the early settlers who came here. I say this because we would get to learn about a role model or just see how early times where.
In a nutshell, this is a branch of philosophy that believes the right thing to do is the option that causes the least amount of harm to the most people - for example the Trolley Car Scenario that you've looked at in Social Studies.
To escalate it, think about the doctor's conundrum that is put forward in this video (about ten minutes in).
Task: Write a paragraph that put forwards your ideas in response to this - make sure you state what the consequences of each decision would be. Like the heckler in the theatre, see if you can come up with an alternative option.
Structure of your paragraph: Begin with a general statement about the problem (is it better to do something that will harm one person, but save many others, or is it better to save one and harm many). For example, you might say: The idea that it is better to harm one person in order to save many is not new.
Then put forward the example- For example, suppose, for a moment, you are a doctor…
Next, explain the consequences of both options.
Then You Add your personal opinion, and explain why you think this. You can connect it to Unwind if you want to - it may support one argument more than the other.
The Writing....
You are located in a hospital, south west of Canada. You are the doctor with a huge decision is it better to harm one person and save many others, or to save one and harm many? Well, the decision to harm one person in order to save other's isn't a new idea at all in this world - like the war's we harmed some yet saved many others. For example as a doctor you could have chosen the path to save 5 people and harm one, which means you would have on family mad at you, or you could save 1 and harm 5 others which means 5 people's own families would be mad at you. I think if I was the doctor I would see what other ways we could work around it, like if they need organs to create something temporary when waiting for them (we have the technology now days). Or just create better and safer ways to protect everyone, because 5 people's lives are very important yet equally that 1 person's life is the same. It doesn't matter who they are, where they came from or what they do YOU have to make the decision. Well I don't agree with harming anyone. Like in the book Unwind they believe taking healthy teenagers body parts to save other people where really they are killing off the future generation in order to create more life. To me unwinding and even taking someone's life to save other's is the most stuffed up thing ever, if they WANT to donate their body THEY should be allowed. Case Closed.
