7 x7 Seven Subjects & 7 things I learned November 19 & 20th, 2012 Days 51 & 52
1. Math

= 0.4
b. 1/8 = 0.125
c. 6/4 = 1.5
d. Then I converted mixed numbers into
decimals by turning the fraction into a division problem in disguise and then
adding the whole number to the total 1 1/5 = 1.2
e. 2 ¾ = 0.125 (2 ¾ is equivilant to 1/8)
f. 3 ½ = 3.5
g. Then I learned converting fractions into
decimals using long division. 4/15 = 0.25- (the bar means that there are
endless sixes)

b. Energy transfer is defined as obtaining
energy from the environment and transferring it into a useful form.
c. Behavior is defined as detecting and

d. Living things control the input and
output of matter and energy to create a state of balance known as homeostasis. This is a part of
regulation.

organization, including cells.
f. All living things have DNA. An organisms
DNA directs the cycle of a cells growth!

Where as humans grow in a series of
development stages, cells growth is defined as developing over time, and only
right before they reproduce.
3. History
a. I touched the posts where Dick Penderyn was
hanged on August 31 1831!
b. Back in the 1820s the miners in
Monmouthshire Valleys decided to get together to bully the mine owners into
giving them more money. In 1822 they went on strike and troops were sent to
control them. One or two miners were shot and the other miners decided to fight
back. These bullies formed themselves into gangs called “The Scotch cattle.”
c. Their victims were the Irish families
who were starving in Ireland. The Irish would work for low wages and put the
Welsh miners out of jobs. The Scotch Cattle gangs set out to drive the
strangers away. They blackened their faces and each wore a headdress with bull
horns on it.
d. They were crafty, each valley had its on
“herd” of Scotch Cattle. They picked the biggest bully to be their leader. But
they never attacked someone in their own valley. They always got another “herd”
to do it for them. That way no one would recognize the wreckers.
e. They were secret societies – If you were
a moo and you betrayed your “herd” then they would threaten to kill you!
f. They would come into your house and take
everything but your food. They had a Scotch cattle rule that they would never
touch the victim’s food, that way the kids wouldn’t suffer.
g. But by 1834, the Scotch Cattle were
getting out of control, beating up innocent people. One night they went into
the house of Thomas Thomas in Bedwetlly. There was a scuffle and Mrs. Thomas
fell to the floor, dead. This time the Scotch cattle had gone too far.
4. Language

harbor.
b. Actor est in Scaena. The actor is on the
stage.
c. Argentarius est in argentaria. The

and Icarus. They are locked in a tower so Deadalus, who is an architect uses
his skills to build wings for him and his son Icarus. When they are flying
Deadalus tells Icarus to stay right behind him, because if he flies to close to
the sun it will melt the wax that held the feathers together and if he flies to
close to the water it well soak the feathers. But Icarus does not obey and
flies to close to the sun and then plunged into the water and dies.
e. Deadalus ceram et pennas paravit.
Deadalus uses wax and feathers.
f. Deadalus circumspectavit. “eheu!”
exclamit trisitis Deadalus, “Icarus is mortuus.” Deadlus looks around. “alas”
says Deadalus, Icarus is dead.
g. Venator est in silvia. The hunter is in
the woods.
5. Reading
a. I read a Ballad about a Cherry Pie. It
goes like this: We met by yonder cherry tree,
I glanced at her, She winked at me,
I offered her a piece of pie
How could I know our love would die?
After a bite, her watery eyes,
Gazed at me; she gave a cry
And gagged; she turned and ran away.
I have not seen her since that day.
You see, I like my pies with spice.
Chili Powder tastes so nice!
But my love I lost, so now I cry…
Say would you like a piece of pie?!
