#9 Open Courseware: Improving Your Business Through a Culture of Health

Class : Improving Your Business Through a Culture of Health School : Harvard University Feelings : I have never heard about the Open Courseware so this is the first time that I get to know more the website. Some of the courses are too difficult for me to understand and they are not related to the subjects that we learn in school so I choose the easier one that I can understand more easily.

#8 Online Comics: Pepper and Carrot

Episode 6: The Potion contest   🐈 Summary: A potion contest was held in KOMONA. There were four witches participated in this contest---Coriander, Saffron, Shichimi and Pepper. The first demonstration was Coriander’s potion of zombification, which won the big hand. Next, Saffron’s potion made the chicken posh and the audience’s applause was bigger than Coriander.
