Week 14, Class 1

Today is extra fun, and unique. We did not have Ldls at all, and it is awesome, but we have a video in exchange for the Ldl, so let's get started.

1. So, today, Mr. Rick came late to class, and he doesn't have the right amout of money, he only have Rp.10.000 and it is twice the value of the actual cost of the infraction which is Rp.5000 and the treasurer doesn't have the right amount of money to give the change back to Mr. Rick, because she left the money at hoe, so she have to give Mr. Rick an IOU which is jus like a piece of paper that have the 3 big letters, IOU and the date of when he owes the treasurer money with a signature on it.

Today was started by a lecture by Mr. Rick and it was awesome, the lecture only have 4 slides and he explained the first 2 slides in a very long amount of time, and maybe he wants to talk more about the rest of the slides because he knows the topic in his gut, but he can't because if he lectures the class for more than 20 minutes, he will get an infraction, and he has to pay another Rp.5000, but he didn't so he don't pay his Rp.5000.

After all this happened, he lectures the class, and it is about "Why was Napoleon defeated?"


2. So, the topic of Mr. Rick's lecture is the about Napoleon, so let's get started! In business and governing things, there are 3 types of poison and they are Nepotism, Corruption and Collusion.

So, first thing's first, Nepotism is the practice of giving friends or family a great power like becoming king, queen, emperor. Wait... did this happened to Napoleon? Napoleon had all of his brothers and sisters to be a great queen, king or something else that is ruling. 

The second one is the corruption, well, there are 2 types of corruption in the whole wide world (Just Kidding)... and they are bribing, giving money or favors to somebody to get an extra special favor from them. It is like a friend buying lots of snacks and share it to everyone so that they can be his friend. This is a bad thing to do in business. The second or as you all say, the last one is extortion, and it is when the leader forces you to pay money for a favor. So it is like friend not being friends with you anymore, and then, you need to pay in order for you to be friends with him or her again.

The last one is *finally...* *pant.. pant*  collusion, and it is when someone secretly plot something to destroy the government or business. (doing this is like a bad kitty)

3. Then, we had a video. It was so interesting, but anyways, it is educational too.

There were 2 videos, and this is the 1st video:


Then, in this video, many kings and queens were called to meet Napoleon, and it seems like a family gathering, and it turns out that they are Napoleon's brothers and sisters. They became kings and Queens of all places. Amazing. Maybe this is the reason why Spain and France work together to try and defeat Britain. The King of Spain who is Joseph is the brother of Napoleon, and they work together to defeat the Britain. (I think.... Sorry if it is wrong) 


Then we have another video because the video before was too short, and the next video is quite long, so yeah, we need to take notes on the video and later on, it would be helpful during tests. So, this is what it looks like:


The video was too long that we need to continue it next class, but... this Friday is a holiday, it is Good Friday!!!! Yay! Thank you jesus for dying in the cross for us! 

So, what we understand from the video (the long one), is that Napoleon was born in Corsica in a poor family. One day, his mother wanted to give birth to Napoleon, but she can't walk anymore, so she end up giving birth to Napoleon on a sofa, and he turns out to be a genius, so does giving birth in a sofa means that people will be a genius? What about Einstein, where was he born on, a chair? *wkwkwkwk* Then, he went to school, he was a fast learner, he did a program that requires 2 years, but he did it in just 1 year, he did twice as fast. He was a great artillery man. At the age of 24, he became a general. Then, after years of doing that, Napoleon met a girl named Josephine Beauharnais. And on 1796, he got married with her. Napoleon was still a general, and he led the war, so his tactics were simple, first, Napoleon divides his troops into 2 and each defeat the left wing and then the right wings. They did it one by one. Then, the troops landed in Egypt, and he found the Rosetta stone.

The story wasn't done yet, because there is not enough time. *why?!*

4. On what we can do better next time is that we need to take notes even if it is just a video, instead of looking at pictures of the moon.
