Future Trip Plan

Yue is going to High School, Yuan is going to Grade 6. To celebrate their studies and grow-up, and have high quality family time, the following dream travel plans are listed: Canada Railway - http://www.trainpackages.ca/en_index.html (2012 when Yue high school graduation) Europe Trip (2016 when Yue university and Yuan high school graduation) Around China Trip (2020 when Yuan university and Yue Master degree celbration) South-American Trip (2024 when Yuan is doing Doctor study) Yahoo.........

beautiful flower under full moon

2 sisiters, named as Yue and Yuan, from 花好月圆 which means beautiful flower under full moon, from Chinese 4-character idiom. 【成 语】: 花好月圆 - spelling 【拼 音】: huā hǎo yuè yuán - pronounciation 【解 释】: 花儿正盛开,月亮正圆满。比喻美好圆满。 【出 处】: 宋·张先《木兰花》词:“人意共怜花月满,花好月圆人又散。欢情去逐远云空,往事过如幽梦断。” 【出 处】: 宋·晁端礼《行香子·别恨》词:“莫思身外,且逗尊前,愿花长好,人长健,月长圆。”

Logic to Algorithm

Here is a question in Edmonotn Grandview Height School for Grade 8 students: A and B are two runners, A's speed is 15km/h, B's speed is 20km/h. 1 hour after A ran, B started to run to catch up A. How long would take B to catch up A? This is probably a simple math question for element school kids in China. I, totally trained in Chinese thinking, will get answer by doing (1*15)/(20-15) = 3 hrs. If we want to do the X way, so we can solve the problem as the following, which is taught in Math Power book: 1.let x be the time for B to catch up A 2.then by the time A catches B, A's total running time would be x+1 3.when A catchs B, their running distances are equal, so the following equation wil be used to solve the problem: 15(x+1) = 20x -> x = 3 hrs, same answer. But the school math teacher's solution is as the following: (of course it's right!) 1. let x be the A's running time (why not be B's time?!) 2. let's think about nagative, since time is passed! 3....
My favorite subjects are Math, Science, and LA. Am I equally good at those subjects?! The theory of the structure and functions of the mind suggests that the two different sides of the brain control two different "modes" of thinking. It also suggests that each of us prefers one mode over the other. Left Brain: Logical Sequential Rational Analytical Objective Looks at parts Right Brain: RandomIntuitiveHolisticSynthesizingSubjectiveLooks at wholes Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.
