Cystic Fibrosis - AP biology class material
Cystic fibrosis(=CF or mucoviscidosis)
This disease affects human. The symptoms of Cystic fibrosis mainly appear critically in the lungs, including the intestine, pancreas, and liver. The main cause of these harms on lungs and other organs is due to abnormal transport of sodium and chloride across epithelium, thus strengthening the viscosity of secretions. Usually the chloride transport channels are defective or even absent in the plasma membranes. As a result of the absence, extracellular chloride is thick. By the default in lungs’ functioning there comes difficulty in breathing and this is the most serious symptom that might lead to lung infections. These lung infections are hardly treated with, and it’s not cured by any antibiotics and other medications. Other symptoms are poor growth, infertility, diarrhea, and sinus infectionsaffect other parts of the body.
CF occurs commonly among Caucasians; in the rate of one over 25 carries one allele that cause CF in European race. Ireland has high probability of CF in the unit of world; 2.98 per 10.000. It is a serious disease in Ireland and social problem since Ireland has the hugest proportion of families that have more than one child infected of CF.
. For cystic fibrosis to occur by the point mutation there’s the deletion of gene. By the deletion of 3 base-pair deletion, there’s no frame shift. But one amino acid is missing- leading to the cystic fibrosis. References: http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/posters/chromosome/cftr.shtml(Picture)
The Biology (the book we use)
personal additional writing - What I want to eat!
It's the final term period which is a time our appetite increases sharply! And I am a bit like a gourmet when it comes to food. I always look for new things to eat and challenge on. I decided to post this as to calm down my appetite and also sharing it with others :)
1. Pond smelt
It's fish that looks like a minnow but thinner than normal minnows. I saw this introduced on TV as the delicacy(I cannot think of right word for Korean word Byeol Mi) of winter in Korea when I was really young. I really wanted to try, but there wasn't any chance to visit Chuncheon where is the right place for this food. But the saturday after exam, I asked my parents to visit and try this!! I am now really looking forward to eat it!

This is Pond smelt!
This is fried pond smelt!
They say we also eat it alive!!!! It may look a little savage. But as the sense of eating live octupus in Korea, it's not so wierd at all! Live octopus is one of beloved seafood in Korea!
2. Chilli con carne (Mexican food)
When I was in the Philippines, I had several times to eat this. And I couldn't forget how delicious it was! But since I live in a town south part of Korea, there's no Mexican food restaurant aroundㅠ.ㅠ
They say Chilli Con Carne is a basic food of Mexico when you want to cook another food.
Mexico looks developed with spice. Their food looks so delicious!
I wish this winter vacation, I can have a chance to eat diverse food. I want to experience various food cultures around the world. However, Korean food is the best! :)

Reading Journal - The Body #2
To arrange, the Body reminds us of youth and innocence we once had that now all gone. We can feel universal nostalgic across generations by delegately expressed pre-teen boys' dialogues and sensitively touching emotional statements. As we watch them fall from innocence, we feel somehow sympathized of the process we also have walked through. As Stephen King illuminates all the emotional hurt characters, he offers us a chance to look on every each background tied up to as one. However, in the end, it's all a story of a writer's writing journey that has diminished and shraveled since exposed to the language. Consequently, we'll have to make up the diminished part as we translate the context into language in our heart.
The four boys, trying to take off the lable which the society forcefully tagged them, gathered around and measure each other's value and assure that they're alive. They have gathered in the tree house not due to any external force but by the core sense of friends. They knew each other and understood one another. A friendship that doesn't have to be calculated. As we age and learn to adapt in society, the chance to get those friendship sharply decreases-or might even be impossible to have. Gordie, who lost precious brother, looks out for some care from their parents; especially from his father, who naver shows any approvance for Gordie. Fornuately, Gordie meets Chris who can see through Gordie's talent and who sincerely tries hard to keep it. But the relation between the two boys varies in movie and the novel.
In the movie stand by me focuses more on the character Gordie, as a tragic hero, such that he holds the gun up bravely toward the Ace gang. In the novel, Gordie is more like a narrator and Chris gets the focus of tragic hero. But in both ways, we could feel the unexpressed movement beyond the scenes. They could put their mind on each other without any suspense. I was so sad that I can't have a friend like this indeed. Is it too late to have one like that or is it the world to blame? The line, "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, did you? (King, p.341)", deeply hurts my heart.
The friendship with Vern and Teddy vanished as their innocence peeled off. However, Chris and Gordie developed and kept their friendship as the innocence itself; they have outgrown innocence with sense of living and they got back to their innocence by meeting each other. They knew how to keep themselves cognitivie of threshold-all the pain and adventure. Those memories must have been the energy for them to keep strong in the cold winter of sadness. "Friends come in and out of your life like busboys in a restaurant, did you ever notice that? But when I think of that dream, the corpses under the water pulling implacably at my legs, it seems right that it should be that way (p.432)." shows how truthful they are to each other's respect of life.
Those boys get through the threshold of becoming an adult by facing death, a situation of frighten, and a place where their parents can't intervene. Additionally, the adventure under the name of "looking for a dead body" made them confront death and become honest to the accidentality, unfairness of world. The story couldn't directly tell us how they've changed or their words changed since it is expressless. However, we could see as they give up to possess the dead body "Not in this way." The season of autumm symbolizes harvest and preparation for a long winter. The fall from innocence-a threshold of adult-feels similar with the mood of autumm as the leaves fall and everything restults out for the next step.
Reading all the long story, I felt that I am not done crossing the threshold. I am still struggling between my late end of teenage and becoming an adult. I rather questioned my self how my threshold have been until now. I am now challenging on a long adventure how to form my innocence and keep it. Step by step, I am getting near to the level of adult and my life of mortaility. But still, I am young enough to keep my own value.

Reflective Essay - ESTA SOY YO
Esta Soy Yo!
Last Tuesday, I had to make a performance of singing with 4 friends due to activity assessment of Spanish. It was a nice time to prepare for the activity and to know my friends better. But it was not easy since I also had to do other requirements of quizzes and homework. But I have learned things that I would never learn from a book.
The title of our song was Esta Soy Yo which means, “this is me!”. The song starts with cheerful and sweet melodic voice, saying Esta Soy Yo. When I first heard that song, I fell in love immediately. It was so catchy and refreshing that we all together picked the song to sing. The first day we had chosen this song, we all dismissed to have time to get familiar with the song and memorize some of the lyrics for almost 1 week. During the week, I listened repeatedly and searched for translated lyrics to understand the song better. The lyrics were so impressive that I totally got hooked up by the song. To shortly introduce, it was about expressing oneself; trying to keep own judgments-regardless of what the world oppresses. Such that: “They say I am a book without any plot” “And this is me!”.
As the time passed, we met to divide own parts to sing and make some movements on the stage. First of all, we set our concept of performance: Acapella. We piled up some harmonious sounds of alto and soprano. It was greatly successful that it brought the effect of emphasizing and raising the effect of impression of saying “This is me!”. I have taken the part of alto, and I tried my best not to get astray of my note. We separated some parts and sang again and again. When I was singing, I felt like four of us are one with the melody. I was truly into the sound, beat that I sincerely sang from my heart with a big smile. Also, it felt like the lyrics were going through my soul that I unlocked the prison of rules and expressed myself as “This is me!”.
Day by day, we got closer to the end of preparation with better ideas and performance. Our harmony was almost perfect and beautiful that our friends who heard our singing praised us for pretty harmony. Our small movements and positioning got more natural. Even there were other people around, who were also practicing for the performance; we were all proud and confident that we sing loud and moved as we wanted. The melody and lyrics had embraced all our souls. We enjoyed the time made of music.
On the stage, we did nice performance; However, I can’t be satisfied. I wasn’t as brave as when we were practicing that I could not raise my voice enough for my alto part. I also lost the point of note sometimes. I also wanted to smile on the stage but I guess I was strained that I couldn’t smile from the deep inside. Someday, I want to be a person who can express everything on the stage no matter what the response is. Just like the lyrics, Esta soy yo.
Now! Take a hear(?) at it!
