Water Bending Pamphlet: (Portuguese)

We know that water bending gets stronger at night; Katara says as much at the end of ALTA Book 1. However, the Moon is only in the night sky 50% of the time with the other 50% in the daytime. Since Katara probably has better sleeping habits than me, I’d assume she goes to bed before midnight. Therefore, she would only see the Moon at night about 25% of the time.
It’s a common misconception to think that the Moon only appears at night. In fact, it is more likely for people to see the Moon during the day because people are awake more in the day.
Then why is water bending stronger at night, if the Moon is only there 25% of the time?
The answer is interference from the Sun. We know that water bending and fire bending can interfere with each other in the case of a solar eclipse. The Moon moves in front of the Sun and blocks the “Fire Bending WIFI Signal”. water bending is interfering with fire bending, so it would make sense if it works both ways. Fire and Water are usually considered opposites, so it makes sense that water bending would be weaker during the day and at full strength during the night.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Chemistry Brain Teaser
Jerry is picking up Oxygen for his grandmother. There are two types of oxygen at the store. One is labeled O2 and the other is labeled O3. Jerry knows that people breath O2, but doesn’t know what O3 is. Since they are both have Oxygen Jerry assumes that they do the same thing. Jerry grabs the O3 because he says that, “More oxygen must mean it’s better.”
What Chemical principles is Jerry overlooking?

Pro Bending: LoK
Probending was fun to watch and a major part of the first season of the Legend of Korra, but I often felt is was rushed. One thing that felt was lacking was half time entertainment. Where were the shows, adds, and entertainment that come with other sports. I think halftimes might have helped the pacing and let the audience explore the world more.

Avatar: Dragon Eggs and the Solstice
In Episode 313 (The Firebending Masters) Aang and Zuko enter a secret chamber and discover a ‘gem’ that “feels almost alive”. This has led many fans to believe that the ‘gem’ is actually a dragon egg.
Let’s assume this theory is correct.
But if it’s a dragon egg, why would the Sun Warriors hid it here?
The obviously reason is for protection. Dragons had been hunted almost to extinction, and a dragon egg would be rare and very precious thing.
But I have another theory.
The Sun Warriors hid the egg in a chamber that could only be opened during the solstice (most likely the summer solstice). In the avatar world, the solstice is when the spirit world and the physical world are closest together and spiritual energy is at its peak. The solstice is also when the Sun is at its strongest/ weakest (relative to the perspective on earth). The Sun is the source of firebending. And since Dragons are the original firebenders, it would make sense for dragons to have some connection to the Sun and the solstices.
My theory is that secret chamber is specifically designed to hatch dragon eggs.
On the solstice the chamber would open. Then Sun Warriors would bath the egg in sunlight concentrated from the sunstone outside. The concentrated sunlight during the solstice would fill the egg with spiritual energy and cause it to hatch. (Just like how Roku used the solstice to talk to and empower Aang.)
To me at least, it makes sense that the original firebenders would be born on the solstice.
Respect in Theater and Science.
When theater people or stunt people critique a film, play, or movie, they are often much more kind and forgiving. This is because they understand the difficulty that goes into making the piece. When they are critical, It is very well informed and focuses on specific points. (More than just, “It was terrible.”)
A similar amount of respect exists among scientists. The essence of Science is to better understand the world, and we do that through evidence and experimentation. Science is always learning new things and so is always growing. Hence, no matter how smart you think you are, you can always learn more.
This creates a sense of respect among scientists, because no matter how right you think you are, there is a better answer out there. Hence, discussion and debate are encouraged, not a single dogma.
I’ve long wanted to make a fusion of the three legendary beasts (Raikou, Entei, & Suicune) which I refer to as “the fourth beast”. He is heavily inspired by the mythical “Pixiu” from China. The Pixiu is a god of wealth, which goes nicely with Pokemon “Gold” and “Silver”.
As you can see I used elements from each of the three beast:
Raikou: I kept much of Raikou’s face along with his stripes.
Entei: I kept Entei’s cheeks and repurposed with back spikes into the wings of a Pixiu.
Suicune: I repurposed Suicune’s horns to resemble that of an Chinese dragon. Suicune’s spots combine with Raikou’s stripes to form rosettes. And lastly, Suicune’s ribbon tail gets turned into long Chinese dragon whiskers. (Which isn’t shown here)
(Ironically, every time I look at the drawing on the far right, I think of a water dragon.)
“The fourth beast” represents the steam from the Burned tower as the fire went out. Thus his typing is Fire/Water. On his back is a cumulus cloud for fair weather, but it can easily grow into a cumulonimbus.
