El Ánimo por Alex Johnson
Tengo otro trabajo también. Está en El Instituto de Franklin. Yo trabajo en astronomía con otros tres personas en SLA y un estudiante de un otro escuela en Filadelfia. Nosotros vamos a tomar fotos de el sol. Es un trabajo interesante porque no usamos un cámara regular. Nosotros usamos un cámara conectada a el telescopio. Después de tomamos los fotos, nosotros juntamos los fotos para hacer un compuesto foto de el sol. Nosotros tenemos reuniones a veces con los personas en la departamento de dinero. También, nos presenta a la jefe astrónomo y el director general de El Instituto de Franklin. Pronto, nosotros pensamos que los fotos será en la sitio de Web por El Instituto de Franklin. Es un buena trabajo por los horas voluntarios en escuela.

Days of the Week.
If you want to know what days you’ll have to go somewhere in Spanish, then you will need to know the days of the week. The days of the week are tricky with pronunciation. So you have to pay attention.
|
|
In Spanish the day of the week starts on Monday, not Sunday like in America.
Important: The Spanish days of the week start with
no capital letters.
On a piece of paper, write this calendar and fill
out the top, empty spaces with the days of the week in Spanish…
Here are a few practice problems in Spanish asking
for the day of the week that the date is on, try them out (use the calendar above) :
Qué dia de la semana es el 5 de octubré? _________
Qué dia de la semana es el 22 de octubre? ________
Qué dia de la semana es el 11 de octubre? ________
Conversación!!!! How to hold a conversation in spanish.
To have a proper conversation we must know how to..
1.) Ask general questions(birthday, date, games ect).
2.) How to Respond to certain questions.
3.) How to speak in the right manner.
Here are some general questions and answers:
General questions are the essentials in a
conversation. They are like the baseline to keep the conversation flowing. If
you know how to have a conversation then you should know how to survive in the
Spanish jungle. =).
Saludos!!! How to greet someone in spanish!!!
In the case
of "Como té llamas", when using 'té
llamas', you should speak to a person of a higher stature. (Ex; the President, a
boss, a manager, ect.)
When using the term 'se llamas', you should usually
be speaking to friends/family.
IMPORTANT; Remember not to get “mucho gusto” and “igualmente”
mixed up, mucho gusto is always first.
When saying igualmente, it is pronounced exactly how
it is spelled. Imagine saying Eagle and mint-e. Eaglement-e.
These are the basic terms you will need to know to
start a conversation with someone, try with a friend and see how well you do.
Below is a link that will help you pronounce the words above.
Lafler v. Cooper
What happened ?
Anthony Cooper was convicted of shooting a woman in the thigh and butt after missing a shot to her head. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit overturned the conviction after Cooper claimed ineffective assistance of counsel. His lawyer told him not to take a plea offer, thinking that there could not be a finding that Cooper intended to murder his victim. But Cooper was convicted of assault with intent to murder and other charges. The appeals court said the incorrect advice equals unconstitutional ineffective assistance and ordered Cooper released. But Michigan officials argue that Cooper got a fair trial and that the verdict should not be thrown out because of his lawyer's mistake.
Relation to other cases:
Lafler v. Cooper’s case is related to the missouri v. Frye case the difference between the two cases is that the missouri v. frye case criminal defendant was not notified of the deal the prosecutors offered, received a harsher sentence and now wants an opportunity to gain the right his lawyer failed to notify him of.
What I think- I think that coopers case should be thrown out the window because he was not taught the lay of the courts but the lawyer new so therefore the blame should be on the lawyer.Missouri v. Frye
Case Issue: Can a criminal defendant who was convicted after a jury trial later argue that his lawyer was inadequate because he failed to tell him that prosecutors had offered a deal to plead guilty in exchange for a lighter sentence? And, if so, what should courts do to correct the lawyer's error?
What happened exactly?
A defense attorney failed to inform his client, Galin Edward Frye, who had been charged with repeatedly driving while his license was revoked, of a plea offer by the prosecution. After the offer by the prosecutors expired, Frye was arrested for the fifth time then later entered a guilty plea without having the option of the plea offer and was sentenced to three years in prison.
Problems:
The lawyer didn’t present the offer to the criminal defendant (Frye) therefore has violated the criminal defendant’s constitutional rights. The sixth amendment gives the criminal defendant the right to plead guilty if you choose too. In other words, you have a right to a fair trial. The amendment relates to the case because the counsel’s failure to communicate the plea offer prior to its expiration resulted in Frye not being able to plead guilty. During this seating, Attorney General Koster will advocate the law-enforcement position that Mr. Frye’s conviction should stand, and he should not be allowed to withdraw his guilty plea.
Missouri argues that Frye’s request gives attorneys the opportunity to strategically use plea offers as insurance policies against trial results that aren’t unpredictable. Missouri assures that, an attorney can allow a plea offer to expire without communicating it to the defendant, which means the lawyer wants the defendant has to stand trial hoping for a lighter sentence.
Conclusion
In this case, the Supreme Court has to decided whether the Sixth Amendment’s right to a fair trail and having effective assistance of counsel protects the criminal defendant whose attorney has not communicated the available plea bargain options,
Respondent Frye argues that his counsel’s failure to inform him of his plea offer was unreasonable and it prejudiced him. However, the State of Missouri maintains that Frye fails the prejudice requirements because prejudice requires a showing that, in the absence of attorney error, Frye would have pled not guilty and gone to trial.
Connection/Relation to other cases:
Missouri v. Frye case is connected to Lafler v. Cooper’s case, the only difference between the two cases is that the Lafler v. Cooper’s case criminal defendant decided to ignore the lawyer’s offer by pleading guilty, got a harsher sentence, and now wants to have privilege of that offer, which was admitting to the crime for a lighter sentence. Missouri v. Frye case criminal defendant was not notified of the deal the prosecutors offered, received a harsher sentence and now wants an opportunity to gain the right his lawyer failed to notify him of.
HILL v. LOCKHART
William Lloyd Hill pleaded guilty in the Arkansas trial court to charges of first-degree murder and theft of property. More than two years later he found out that his court-appointed attorney had failed to advise him that, as a second offender, he was required to serve one-half of his sentence before becoming eligible for parole.My Opinion
It’s hard to say what exactly side I am on. I believe it was unfair and unjust to Frye because this situation validated his constitutional rights. He had a right to a fair trial, therefore I believe something should be done in his favor. I’m confused by Missouri’s side of defense because they are saying there needs to be proof that Frye would have pled not guilty if his lawyer had not made an error, which is assuming. I don’t believe you can base anything of a assumption, but most likely it isn’t an assumption minding that Frye has been arresting for this crime numerous of times. Also, the government is not responsible for any errors that were made by an lawyer.
No decision was made as of November 2, 2011. Many of the arguments are resorting back to the Hill v. Lockhart case.
Clear Object Drawing -Jamie Murphy
For this project I drew
a clear object. I chose a clear glass cup, because it
seemed moderately different with its cylinder shape. It's bottom
had design in the glass, which was also clear. I thought it would be
nice to have a different type of thing that I've never drawn before.
With my
clear drawing I tried using new things i've never used before. Such as drawing
with charcoal. At first I had to start out my drawing with a mid-tone by
shading the charcoal and smoothing it over with my hand. I then drew the cup as
i saw it. I constantly used the eraser to show the light spots in the cup. I
smoothed out the charcoal so lighten up the darker spots. All of my previous
work I've done was with pencil, or other commonly easy to use materials like
that. Never Charcoal, where I can shade the colors to how i want.
Overall
this drawing was a very well planned out new experience for me.
Dormir - Ruben Burenstein
The purpose of this project was to write an essay about ourself, focusing on the parts of our life that are easily visible, and the parts that are hidden. We had to write about what others see us for, and what they don't see. After writing this essay we had to make a mask that related to our essay, and what we think represents ourself. The parts of you that were obvious went on the outside of the mask, while the more hidden parts went on the inside. In other cultures animal masks are made so that the people wearing them can feel closer to nature, mine was made to look be an animal that I feel I resemble. I made my mask a sloth because I love to sleep, and that is what sloths are most known for, I put some of my essay hanging off the nose of the sloth to represent my hatred for mustaches.
Essay:
Lo Obvio...
Soy más bajo que muchas otras personas. Según dicen a mi que ellos no quieren ser bajos, pero no pienso que es mal. Yo prefiero ser más bajo que muy alto. Mis padres son muy bajos también. Soy más alto que mi padre, y un poco menos alto que mi madre. Soy una persona gracioso mucho del tiempo, y no serio mucho. Escucho a muchos cómicos, y veo sus permanencias. Soló estoy serio cuando necesito trabajar mucho, o estoy triste. Todo mi familia es cómica, mi padre dice muchos chistes todo el tiempo. El es serio como uno tiempo cada mes. Soy una persona tranquilo la mayoría del tiempo. Estoy tranquilo mucho del tiempo porque no me gusta estar enojado, pero estoy enojado cuando otros no escuchan a mi. Un medio de mi familia es siempre tranquilo, y el otro es enojado un parte del tiempo.
Lo que es menos obvio...
Clear object
While having a little practice working with shading and highlighting from my previous assignment with the figure drawing, I can say that I proved while drawing my clear object. Though it may look like a cartoon, my practice on drawing real life objects needs to be approved on but I have the chance to work on it than before and its in progress. This is what I can do after working on this technique of shading and highlighting to define edges to make it realistic.
I like to challenge myself and that's what I like to keep in my head while doing anything in life. WhatI challenged myself with while working in this current project was shading and highlighting with charcoal and an eraser as well as the biggest challenge of trying to draw a clear object. I would like to work with clear objects more to better my skills at this and the technique of definition in my pictures.
Q1 Art Portfolio
My favorite tool is pastels because they kind of bring they pictures to life when I mix and smear the colors in. My favorite material is paper that is smooth and thick because the picture looks way better and when I use different tools to draw my work with, it doesn't go through. And I prefer to use smooth paper because when I use paper that has a rough texture to it, the picture don't have the same quality as the picture that was done on smooth paper. The way I make decision throughout my work is that I look at what I'm trying to draw and the texture I want to come out of that. Then I get the materials that give that pictures those qualities and do my work.
While I was working on the figure drawing, I chose the right color that would bring the picture out then I start drawing the shapes that make up the picture. Next I connected the shapes to make the outline of the person and then did the details such as the shading and the creases of the shirt. Finally I went back over me work with a different color to make the body shape even better.
While I was working on the clear object, I shaded the paper before I drew the object. Next I chose the clear object I wanted to work on then I started to draw the shape of the object. Then I drew the details of the object like the bottom part of the object that you can see on the other side. After that I made the light and dark shading of the object and then smeared around the outline of the object because clear objects don't have a dark outline. Finally, I put the object's shadow into the picture and then smeared it a little so it wouldn't be really dark.
Lobbying Blog Post 2 - Finding That Representative
After reading this very enlightening piece that I stumbled upon, called "66 Reasons you should not vote for Pat Toomey" my perspective on him changed dramatically. A key example of how media can distort a man, or even how baseless certain claims can be if you don't know all the facts, but that is a blog post for a different day. You, my fair reader, cannot imagine how discouraged I was when I read this article. Heck, how discouraged I was when I got through the first twelve reasons. So discouraged that I didn't know where to look for a reliable state representative for my cause.
So I began thinking smaller and it hit me "What if the people in my district are like minded individuals? Would that not mean that that person on the city council for my district is a fairly good person?" Still discouraged I got my hopes up and I found Anna C. Verna who is a just a breath of fresh air. Actually she is the City Council President and that just puts a smile on my face. But the fact that she is a breath of fresh air is not because she is different or because she signed something as big as the Dodd-Frank Bill but she is doing what I want the Federal Government to do on a larger scale, Crack Down on Malpractice and Restore Stability.(Sorry about that source very hard woman to find info on)
So in so many words what I've read about State Reps. and Senators are disappointing, it doesn't mean that they are all bad it is just hard to find the better things that they have done. But from what I've read about Ms. Verna, I am definitely a supporter and if she could ever become a senator, or State Rep. she would definitely have the vote of a certain blogger.
Lobbying Topic 1: Smoking

Blog Post #2
The person that represents me is Maria D. Quinones-Sanchez http://phila.gov/cityCouncil/MariaDQuinones-Sanchez.html from the 7th
district. Maria has a lot going in with her life.
-She has gone down in history for being the first Latina woman to have
a seat in the Philadelphia city council.
-She is also the youngest in the city council.
-She is also known for her reduced crime rates in the city of
Philadelphia.
-She is married with 2 boys and still resides in Philadelphia.
In the past she voted for my issue considering the fact that she is
basically focusing on public issues and of course this law, the “curfew” law is
indeed very public. She has voted with one of the 15 council members to agree
with the overall law at hand. She signed for it and only one person didn’t
agree with it.
My representative and I have many different things in common such as
helping out in the community. I have worked with community service
opportunities and volunteer work in the past. Maria does everything for the community;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Qui%C3%B1ones-Sanchez
-She helps out with community service projects;
-She helps out schools, schools in which my younger sisters go to. I
think the work she is doing means a lot to the community in multiple ways she
is helping out the community and even thought I am helping out in the community
its not in the same way Maria is. She helps out in ways to make the community a
better place;
-She is involved with educational purposes
-Crime and public safety as well. She has a strong connection with the
community.
My thought on Maria overall is a positive vibe. I believe that she is
making the community better starting out with her vote for the approval of
“curfews” I believe that she is doing is for the safety of teens. She is making
sure that everyone has bright future and I believe she is making sure and sort
of testing out teens in way. I believe she and the council member are testing
teens out in a way to show how responsible they can be to show leadership
skills and to be able to show the drastic change of roles in teens this
generation. How much has teens changed over time? Maybe the “curfew” law is a
test to see how much society has changed in the view of a teen.
Blog Post #1
I am
lobbying for the issue of curfew. There has been a new law about curfews and
how children have to be in by a certain time. I completely agree with the law
because several kids have to learn how to obey laws and rules. The main reason
as to why the mayor, Michael Nutter decided to make “Curfew” for kids under the
age of 18 a law is because of “Flash mobs.” http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-08-09/politics/29968295_1_flash-mobs-curfew-young-black-men I completely understand the point he
is trying to make. I am not just saying this because the “Curfew” law no longer
applies to me considering the fact that I am already 18 years of age but
because teens need to understand that things aren’t always going to go the way
they want it to go. Teenagers are getting out of control in society each and
everyday. What they need to do is stop and we need to put a stop to it. There
are rules that need to be obeyed even for the young ones.
The mayor
and other council members are clearly in favor of the “curfew” law and so am I.
The voting for the signing of the law trial was signed “15-1” meaning 15
council members agreed to the “curfew” and 1 was opposed of it. Teens who have
to go inside because of the time obviously aren’t to excite about it and
several kids aren’t really acting as if it is a law or acting as if it is
serious. There have been teens that have been collected by police officers and
had to pay fines. There are several teens that of course obey the rules but
there will also be kids who don’t follow rules, changes have to be made even if
it has to do with teens causing a big riot of some sort. They have to be
stopped one way or another. Changes must be made one step at a time.
The main supporters of my lobbying topic are 15 council
members and the mayor of course. There are possibly elder citizens who agree
with this as well. The main opponents would be teenagers those targeted because
of the “curfew.” Although they don’t agree with it, it doesn’t mean they are
going to follow it.
There is a law that has just been passed for a 2-year
trial to see the results of it all. Of course the results are going to be
pretty accurate, in the way the mayor wants it to be because there are already
kids breaking the rules with the “curfew.”
Other background information that would be completely
relevant in this case would possibly be way the parents raise the kids and how
responsible they are or how responsible they should be. Not everyone has a
parent that cares as much or is up to date with societies rules. I think it be
best if we had a better understanding and opinion on teens parents who have
been fined and arrested.
Sasha's Q1 Art Blog
Figure Drawing
For the figure drawing, there were a lot of things that I took into consideration when I was drawing her. For of all, I had never done something of this size, so I had to make sure that my proportion were right. Secondly, I took the vibe of the model (Jamie) and tried to put it on the paper. When I looked at her, I got a bubbly yet undertone seriousness from her, so I tried to make her pose look as feminine and relaxed as possible, but the seriousness come in with her neck. For the most part, her neck was very stern, (not to the point where her muscles were visible) but enough where some shading was necessary. As for the choice of colors working with pastels was very different to me, but I just tried to match them with the color of the clothes that she was wearing that day (black skinnies) but the shirt was a different color, so I went with a light red color. To me, it looked very nice against her blond/orange hair. My favorite part drawing her hair. It was layered enough to where I could give is a spiked look, which gave me more flexibility with highlighting certain parts. Each strand was outlined with a darker shade of orange, while the crown was a more mixed with light yellow and peaches- from this, I wanted the hair to appear shinier. As for her body, she had a very petite figure, which was something that I had no problem drawing. She is more slender then curvy, so keeping her shape to more of an unexaggerated pear was key my goal. Basically, I kept her shape to more of a teenager, than one that was too mature and inaccurate. Overal, I felt very confident with this drawing. Even though it was larger is size, I feel as though I portrayed the model as I saw her. I draw people and I like to portray a specific emotion when I do so, and for this drawing, I hoped to show a relaxed and bubbly personality that I saw in her. The main difference from this and my own work is that I am a manga-baed style, and still made me think to try more of semi-realism. While her face has a less realistic appeal, I believe that her body shape was more on point.
Clear Object
I thoroughly enjoyed making this clear object drawing. First of all, I got to use my favorite medium of all time: 0.7 mm MECH PENCIL! It's my love really. Also, I got to incorporate the use of charcoal, which is something that I'm not very used to,but I was able to use it to be best abilities for this project. I started with choosing the beaker, mainly because it was the first glass that I saw. My first thought was to draw a window, more a rainy scene that portrayed a certain feeling, but I instead went with the beaker because it's new to me. When we watched the video on how to draw a clear object, I liked the technique except for the fact that there was no scene to it. In my head, I couldn't draw this inanimate object without some sort of background. To me, there has to be a place for an object to be set in. So, I first just drew the outline of the beaker from my view, (somewhat of a top/frontal view). I did a really weird thing but shading the mid-tone AFTER I drew the outline of the beaker. Starting with a mid-tone just didn't feel right to me. Afterwards, I starting finding the darker spots to be shading and starting to erase at certain reflections of light on the beaker. After this, I decided to draw the tabe that I was working on (also from my perspective). I then used the shading of the table and set that is my new mid-tone. It made sense to me because seeing through the beaker means that I'd have a skewed vision of the color of the table. I made sure to erase lightly enough that each line across the table wasn't defined, but still visible. Overal, I feel that this was a huge success, because I just wanted to portray a gloomy mood from the loneliness of the beaker, and I think with the dusty grey affect, it got across pretty well.
Clear Object Drawing Artist Statement
I had never used a midtone in my drawings before, so that was something new in itself. I also wasn’t used to working with charcoal—I nearly always use pencils, simply because they’re simple and can be erased—but it turned out to be pretty enjoyable. I ended up focusing on getting used to the new techniques rather than making a perfect sketch of the glass.
I know that a piece is done when there’s nothing I want to change about it. I try to look at it from a stranger’s perspective and decide whether or not they would see what I want them to see. It’s very uplifting to feel that a piece is the way I want it to be.
Figure Drawing Artist Statement
I’m not at all used to drawing with anything besides a pencil and 8.5” x 11” paper. I thought the drawing would be a disaster, but it wasn’t so bad. I’m actually pretty proud about how it turned out, considering how unusual a medium this was for me. I couldn’t even hold the pastel in the way I usually hold a pencil, because I’m a little neurotic about getting my hands and clothes dirty.
I didn’t hold myself to my usual standard of total precision and allowed myself to concentrate on getting the general shapes right. I think concentrating on the big picture (so to speak) is something I should do more even when I’m using my regular pencil and paper. It helped me a lot. In the end, my drawing wasn’t incredibly detailed, but I think it actually bears some resemblance to the model, which is pretty cool.
Unfortunately, this picture is a little distorted, and makes the top appear larger than the bottom.Dbui Figure Drawing
