Your Playlist May Reveal if You're a Psychopath or Not (curiosity topic 2)


A secret may be lurking deep within your Spotify playlists. And we're not talking about "Smooth" by Carlos Santana and Rob Thomas popping up more than it should. According to a team of researchers, some of your favorite songs could reveal whether or not you're a psychopath. Be careful which tunes you tap your toe to...

In preliminary and unpublished research, a team from New York University found that, basically, Hannibal Lecter's love of classical music misses the mark (no word — yet — on the accuracy of Patrick Bateman's penchant for Huey Lewis and the News (R-rated content alert)). For the study, 200 people listened to 260 songs. Those with the highest psychopath scores were some of the biggest fans of Blackstreet's "No Diggity." The most psychotic of the bunch also loved Eminem's incomparable "Lose Yourself." (Both are objectively really wonderful songs, thankyouverymuch.) Those with the lower psychopathy scores really dug The Knack's "My Sharona" and Sia's "Titanium."



Before you go snooping through your ex-boyfriend's most-played tracks on Spotify for "No Diggity" and "Lose Yourself," other songs had greater predictive power of psychopathy. Research lead Pascal Wallisch didn't disclose the other songs for fear that it might skew the results of future tests. On second thought, maybe not the most comforting thought.

MUSIC REFLECTION OF PERFORMANCE

What did i learn?
I learned a lot from studying music.Like how to perform on stage and dance and sing.

What did i find challenging?
I'm finding going up to the stage challenging because will just stare at you if you mess up and then laugh.

What do i need to improve?
I need to improve on my fear of the stage and my performance still need to improve on my dancine and singing.

What are we doing?
We performed Revolting Children from the musical of Matilda

We're performing a music video of wairua because we didn't want to do it live in front of the other kids.
It was really fun it was heaps of laughs and we really enjoyed it we did whacky stuff in the video that we were embarrassed to do on stage.













I have learnt to perform in music.
It shows me being apart of the video.
Just being chillaxed and having fun.
To dance.
My dancing and screen time.
I have learnt that matariki is a fun cultural maori theme.

Teen Titans

This issue of the titans comic  is telling me that team work makes the dream work.When the villains make a video game to analyze the titans fighting moves but they didn't work together.The titans play the game and didn't work together but when things got serious they stepped up and put aside their differences and worked together.And they conquered there enemies and ate pizza afterwards.
