Extra Credit Assignment
"Favorite project"
During my senior year in statistics the most memorable benchmark
was the last one, which was the study guide. This benchmark is my most
favorites due to the fact that it’ll help me in the following year with the
endeavors that I’ll be taking on. They study guide applies past math courses to
my future thus ultimately helping me and creating a guide throughout the class
Math 101. Since the class entails
statistics the math in the guide was based off of stats and the combination of
some algebra. The statistics part
consist of the following Probability & Simulations, Chi –Squared, Real number, Logic,
Equations, Correlation & Causation, Bi-variate Data and Observational
Studies. I learned various tolls
that I once did not comprehend such as the correlation and causation. Once
introduced to this term I was still unsure what this actually meant until
practice questions and mini quiz I found that Correlation is like domino affect one thing has to affect another to
have a correlation or relationship. In having to do the benchmark and
applying what I know all comes back to the core values SLA set up inquiry, research, collaboration, presentation and reflection. I researched my future college and what
course I’d be taking and what concepts I’d need to grasp in order to make my
study guide. Collaborated with my peers to exchange some ideas to help my Q4B
with the math tools needed for representation. Presentation I did I n a regular
word doc instead of any other applications because I wanted the raw math to be displayed
instead of a picture with some fragments a clear explanation was needed. Reflection
was overall me just looking at my work with some feedback in my meeting with Thompson
and actually looking over what I’ve done thoughtfully in my high school career.

Sound from a guitar is produced by plucking or strumming the strings which are all different sizes to my understanding there are six strings on guitar and each strong makes a different sound while holding your finger down on different sections of the neck. When you pluck or strum the strings the strings vibrate from where your finger is on the neck down to the end of the body of the guitar.
To change the pitch of my instrument I will have to adjust the machine heads also known as the tuners, I would have to turn these tuners to the left or the right in order to get a high or low pitch. There are many parts to a guitar but I think the important physical characteristics would have to be 16 out of the 20 parts of the guitar.
- Headstock
- Nut
- Machine heads (or pegheads, tuning keys, tuning machines, tuners)
- Frets
- Truss rod
- Inlays
- Neck
- 8. Body
- 9. Pickups
- 10. Electronics
- 11. Bridge
- 12. Pickguard
- 13. Soundboard
- 14. Sound hole
- 15. Strings
- 16. Fretboard (or Fingerboard)
To build this guitar I will need wood to build the body, some plastic pieces for different parts of the guitar, some twisted screws for the machine heads, wire and thin metal piping for the fret board and I will need different sized plastic string for the actual strings of the guitar. All of these materials should be able to cover the necessary components of the guitar.
I will construct this instrument in my Advanced Engineering class that way I have all the materials I need at my fingertips, If that time id not enough I will also take extra time out of my day to stay after school to try to complete the guitar.
Reasons Behind The Abuse-2
As I've told you before my topic is on
animal abuse. It’s a growing problem. My Mom had a cat that suffered from
animal abuse. My mom had a cat that was a semi – indoor semi- outdoor cat. One day her cat didn’t come home, so naturally
my Mom to look for him. She found him in an ally crushed under a cinder block he
was still alive. That cat suffered to death. Now I’m not saying that the person
was evil he could have been a kid trying to impress his friends. That though doesn’t
excuse the fact that he hurt another living thing. A lot of animal abuse comes
from people who don’t know how to take care of their pets properly. Most cases
of animal abuse stem from people who forget to feed their pet or that they even
have one. Hoarders are also an issue
This is why..
Mom
1.) Never ever say titties. EVER
2.) This is my dress that i bought with my money. Your opinion can go suck it.
3.) I think I look damn good in this dress i'm 18 i wear what i want, it doesn't matter.
4.) I don't have boobs to show off anyways.
Time vs. Life
I need a break from my life.
Just a little one.
I have time for nothing anymore.
I don't have a computer and I have so much work I need to stay on track with.
I currently have a headache.
I really don't understand anything that is happening in Globalization class (benchmark that is) I mean I get it but I need a better example.
Do we have a benchmark for chase? Or is this paper thing the benchmark?
I need a nap.

To change a note on the violin you press down on the strings in a specific place, almost like a guitar. A violin is shaped like a mini guitar.

Some ideas of what to say:
- Say where it's located (Está en...)
- Say what it's close to (Está cerca de(l...)
- Say what it has (Tiene... / Hay...)
- Comment on the size of the property (Es grande/pequeñ@)
- etc.
American Idol
But I was aware of who the final two contestants were this season.
And I can honestly say that I think both people sucked.
However, the girl sucked less than that "Scotty McCreery" guy.
He is TERRIBLE.
Nom Nom
Yet again
Nonsense.
I am not a particularly spiritual or religious individual.
I am merely one who decided years ago that I wanted magic to exist and have been consistently surprised to see that it does, though it often goes by different names.
I am a great admirer of the world.
It is marvelous.
I Used to Love You
I used to love you. When you first started out as a small idea. But now I must turn you into a product. Deep down though I still love you.

Marchella

Blog #2 Musical Instrument
These sounds are changed when the waves are altered. This can happen when the tension in the instruments changes or when the size of the object creating the waves changes. The latter is what the xylophone uses. Different keys of different sizes change the pitch: the smaller create higher notes and the bigger keys create lower notes.
To get the best sound, I will use metal tubes to create my xylophone. I think metal creates clear, sharp sounds and it will be easy to change the size of the tubes. I will need to research how the size changes the pitch in much more detail. Then, I plan to attach them to a base and hit them with mallets with metal tops to them.

Sound is produced by using a mallet style stick of either metal, rubber, or wood. It is hit against the metal or wood surface. When this happens, the energy from the mallet transfers into the energy of sound waves which are then created. The shape can have two closed ends or one loose end depending on the design. This creates different types of resonance. The vibrations are continued through the shape of the instrument (tubes or blocks). The length of these tubes or blocks is what changes the pitch. When building these wooden blocks or tubes, keeping the width constant is going to be very important. The only varying factor should be the length. This gives less variables to think about. As the length of the tubes or blocks increase, the pitch will decrease.
As far as the actual construction of the instrument goes, I am not entirely sure whether I am going to be making wooden blocks put together in a xylophone style or an actual metal xylophone. I think this will all depend on the actual plausibility of building the wooden blocks which were my original idea. I need assistance from Echols on this one. Building either will be a lot of work but I can use my engineering class periods to work on it. I will be playing this instrument using mallets. The only outstanding question I have is whether wooden blocks seem possible to Echols or if I should do a xylophone instead.
Because of class...

The instrument my group decided to focus on was either wind or percussion. Percussion instruments consist of everything you can hit with sticks. In percussion instruments the sound foundation is a pulsing covering. These instruments are known as membranophones or beating part of dense substances that is called idiophones. The percussionist usually makes these resources to pulse by beating them. This is where percussion comes from, but numerous of percussion instruments are played shaking, rubbing, or any other method that can make the sound within the percussion instrument.
Since
there are difficult behaviors in which the sound starting place tremble, a good
number of percussion instruments do not have exact pitch. The majority of
instruments that do have significant pitch are idiophones. The pitch of
instruments relies on the quantity of substance that is beating. In all-
purpose this means that the instruments should have a unique throbbing body for
every note. So I am either considering either chimes
or a guitar but still undecided. Didn’t want to choose something that would
have over whelmed me. still choosing between a guitar and chimes.
