Farewell but not goodbye

I am glad the semester is finally over. And at the same time a little sad. I will miss everyone, even though it was not a socializing event, I cannot help but notice everyone contribute to the class setting in their own unique way that made us one whole. It is not the same when everyone did not show up especially the ones that show up often than not. I really appreciate Professor Wu encouragement and acknowledgment it meant a lot to get his feedback. It was as if we were his own children and he wanted us to succeed, he seemed genuinely excited for us when we finally got it right. I want to say thank you Professor Wu for being you. Going forward I will remember every encouraging words you have ever said to me in times when it seems impossible to go on. As Jaime once said we are the best, I agree we are the best because of you. You are one of a kind. Thank you. I wish everyone the best on their journey.

My TD10 clean up session

Today I completed TD10 with Professor Wu. He helped me cleaned up my blog page comments and update the background. He also help me update some of my email rules and check my A5 slide show presentation assignments to make sure they are downloaded to the right folder. He went over the A6 Spreadsheet Analysis with Trailer and A7 mail merge assignment. I was not too happy about the results. He explained OLE which I am sure I still do not quite understand. He also showed me how get the link to the websites reference show up as a link, which can be clicked on to go to the web page intended. This is the step by step details.

First highlight the web address, then clicked on the link symbol at the top of the page where the tools are, then click the pen icon which is the edit link, select advance, then check the box next to open link in a new window, then click apply. I surely would not have figure this out on my own. I also figure if I can explain it, I get it. so, I still can't explain OLE, I understand it a little better how the professor explained it, but I can not explain it if I were to tell someone how it works. That is something I will have to work on, I guess.

Interesting facts found in 2019

Here are a few facts I have chosen from the article I have read, looking for a blog topic. Study found that popping a bottle of champagne releases the same shock waves as a jet. The supersonic shock waves that are released from popping the top can produce the same Mach 1 level force as a jet.

People who function on less sleep may have a gene mutation. Some people may have a rare quality that gives them that unique ability to function on less sleep than the rest of us. A 2019 study published in Neuron shows that a mutation of the β1-adrenergic receptor allows some people to function on shorter spans of sleep better than those without the mutation. (Louis Ptáček)

Beer is good for your gut health. It turns out Belgian beers including Hoegaarden, Westmalle Tripel and Echt Kriekenbier, are just as good as yogurt, kimchi, and sauerkraut for your gut health. these beers are fermented twice and use a specific yeast that produces acids that kill harmful gut bacteria.
