The United States of America's Political Map and Information

Politics of United States

There are politics of all countries, and the United States is no different. The United States is a democracy, which means ruled by the people.  The people vote for their representatives and senators, which work with the president, who is also voted by the people, to make laws. The United States has 50 states, and every presidential election there are 538 voters, which is equal proportion to the population. For example, California has the largest population, so it has the largest number of electoral votes. Alaska is not well populated with people (excluding American Indians and Eskimos). This is why Alaska has only 3 electoral votes.

Math

Math is my favorite subject in school. Not only is it an very educational topic, it is a topic that has been around for many years. For example, in Ancient Rome, Roman Numerals were used. A list of Roman Numerals is shown:


I  1
V 5
X 10
L 50
C 100
D 500
M 1000

Later, people brought base-10 and arabic numerals to the West/ New World. This is the counting system we encounter today (unless you are taking a Roman Numerals Test).

The Austin Times

I have a newspaper called The Austin Times. It is about me and my life. My newspaper is weekly, coming out every week. When I do my newspaper, I write what I am interested in and what I like. This newspaper comes out every Sunday, and has 5-6 parts. Sometimes, I put in recipes from other people.

Italy

Italy

I went to Italy in Spring 2015, and I stayed there for 12 days. It was beautiful, from sunshine to flowers to ancient statues. I went to Rome, Pompeii, Naples, Florence, Verona, and Venice. I enjoyed the wonderful views of Verona, the ancient sites of Rome, and the clean canal of Venice.

Rolling Dice

Rolling Dice

I am interested in rolling dice. When I roll, I always try to make all the top number the same. When you have five of the same number, it is called a yahtzee. The chance of getting a yahtzee is 1/1296, so if you roll 5 dice 1296 times, you will theoretically get one yahtzee. There are 36 ways of rolling dice, and the most common rolls when the sum is 7.
