6SS Dance Videos Part 2

Hello Guys You haven’t heard from me in a long time but I have posted 2 new dance videos that we have made recently. I will try to put on more later on the month.

Pancreatic Cancer By Soft Drinks

People who drink at least two sugary sodas a week have an increased risk of developing cancer of the pancreas, and researchers suspect the culprit is sugar, a new study shows.

A Cambodian scavenger (L) collects empty cans of soft drink and bottles of drinking water as a school child (R) sits next to her drinking a soft drink in 2008. People who drink at least two sugary soft drinks a day have an increased risk of contracting cancer of the pancreas, a study published Monday shows.

Analyses of data collected on 60,524 Singapore Chinese adults showed that people who drank two or more sugar-sweetened soft drinks a week were at greater risk of developing pancreatic cancer compared with individuals who did not, the study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention says.

No link was found between drinking juice and pancreatic cancer, which is one of the most rapidly fatal cancers in adults, with less than five percent of patients surviving five years or more after being diagnosed with the illness.

The study was the first to look at the role fizzy drinks and juice play in the development of pancreatic cancer in Asians, whose diet and lifestyle are becoming more and more Western, the study says. Previous studies had looked at Europeans and Americans.

Participants in the study who consumed two or more sodas per week tended to be younger men who smoke, drink alcohol, eat higher-calorie diets and are less physically active.

They also ate more red meat, the study found.

The findings of the study were adjusted for other dietary factors which have been linked with pancreatic cancer, such as consumption of red meat.

“But the adjustments did not change the link between soda and the risk of pancreas cancer,” said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota’s division of epidemiology and community health, one of the authors of the study.

“We suspect sugar is the culprit, but we cannot prove it from this study,” Pereira told AFP, adding that the researchers only looked at carbonated sugar-sweetened beverages, not sports drinks or diet soft drinks.

“A typical serving of soda is 20 ounces and contains 65 grams of sugar. By comparison, a typical serving of orange juice is eight ounces and contains 21 grams of sugar,” Pereira said.

Fizzy drinks are “the leading sources of added sugar in the US diet” and greatly contribute to hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar, and hyperinsulemia — when the amount of insulin in the blood is higher than normal — the study says.

Insulin is produced by the pancreas and helps regulate blood sugar.

If the findings of the study are confirmed, then cutting out sugar-sweetened sodas would be a way to reduce the risk of developing pancreatic cancer, and this would be “important due to the poor prognosis and minimal effect of conventional treatment methods” for the cancer, the study says.

The data analyzed for the soda study came from the Singapore Chinese Health Study, which enrolled more than 63,000 Singapore Chinese who lived in government housing estates — as nearly nine in 10 people in Singapore do — and looked at their diets, physical activity and medical history, among others.

Amazing Right. Comment on this please.

Paul Arden’s Book

Mistake In School Calendar!!

Today's the 9th of February day F but it says day G

I’ve just noticed that the school calendar has a mistake on it. The NIST staff forgot to take out three way conferences so the day on the school calendar is one day ahead of the real day. It will be really good that if the group that did the school’s schedule for their school inquiry can contact the people who does it and tell them about the mistakes.

In the calendar for January there is no holiday for three-way conferences

There's no three-way conferences on the labels

Homework – Mathletics and Blogging

Do at least two of the Mathletics tasks that you have been assigned today.

Make a comment on this posting to explain what tasks you did. Describe which parts of the task were easy for you and which were hard. Explain how you managed to solve the problems that were difficult for you.

Did you learn a new strategy for one of the questions? If so, can you explain how the strategy works in your posting?

Graphing Our Personal Growth

 

Using the concepts of form and change, we are thinking about what we are like and how we’ve changed during this unit of inquiry. To help us think, we’re creating graphs called “My Journey to Independence”. We’re using evidence from our homework, writing, blog posts/comments, e-portfolios, 3 Way Conference goals and many other sources in order to plot our progress.

Hopefully, we should be able to identify some important changes in the way we live our lives. The next step will then be to use the concept of causation in order to think about why we have changed (or not changed!). By doing this, we should be able to make some lists of successful strategies and tools that have helped us become increasingly independent.

Change!

Have you changed during this unit

of inquiry?

 

• Explain how you are different.
• Explain why you’re changing during this unit.
• Give examples.

Sasha and I had a conversation about……

Sasha and I had a conversation about World Languages today. It was about the homework we had, when to do it and the positive thoughts. I was just about to start my WL homework when suddenly Sasha called me on the phone. We first talked about the walking around subject ( which Sasha has already posted). Then She asked if I already did my WL homework then i said no and Sasha said maybe we can do the homework tomorrow because the next time we have WL is on thursday.

I mentioned that we should do our homework as fast as possible to have free time later on in the week, she agreed to my statement. So we made our selves a quote. It’s a quote that is simple and easy to remember and has a great message.

” Do whatever you need to do today instead of tomorrow”

because when you say I will do it tomorrow, the next day it will be the same thing and after that it will become a daily routine and that person wouldnt be organized after all.

Rosna and I walk around when we……

Rosna and I walk around when we talk on the phone, I think it is kind of weird and I am not sure why. Rosna and I were talking on the phone and we just started talking about why both of us don’t like sitting when we talk on the phone.
Rosna said if she sits down and talks on the phone she gets fidgety and I feel that too (now I know what she means.) I just can’t sit I don’t know why but also if I am angry for some reason and I talk on the phone I can’t sit down I HAVE TO walk around. I always walk around in my garden because there is a lot of nature and nature makes me feel calm.

So, do YOU walk around when YOU talk on the phone?
