Niyala Brownlee's Food Project o(^~^)o

Posted by Niyala Brownlee in Science and Society - Best - E on Friday, January 24, 2014 at 12:18 pm

Sugar

Flour

Butter

Eggs

Sprite Soda

Lemon Flavor


Cream butter an sugar.

Add in 1 egg at a time

Beat it.

Mix in the sprite and lemon extract mixture in alternately with the flour. Mix well

Bake in an oiled bunt pan

at 325 fahrenheit for an hour or more un tip it's done.


Lemon Glaze  (wasn't used/ optional)

2 cups confectioners' sugar

3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Place confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup; stir in lemon juice (glaze should be thick, yet pourable). Add more sugar or lemon juice, as necessary, to achieve desired consistency.


Lemon Glaze

2 parts water, one part sugar, a few drops lemon essence. Boil until it has a clear syrup texture.


Lemon essence is flammable. Do not set your kitchen on fire. 


The meal cost less than 15$ I think.

With ingredients left over.


All of the ingredients are from America. 

Unbleached organic all-purpose flour guarantees that it has mot been genetically modified. Wheat was grown under organic guidelines. Enrichment is voluntary.  Some states required it. Folic acid is required d to help prevent spinal chord injuries.


FDA required eggs to be refrigerated as soon as possible. The FDA required eggs to be graded for inspection to determine for wholesomeness. For quality, it is voluntary.

All packaged raw shelled eggs must carry a specified handling statement if they are not treated for Salmonella. d

 "SAFE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS: To prevent illness from bacteria: Keep eggs refrigerated, cook eggs until yolks are firm, and cook foods containing eggs thoroughly."

My eggs did not contain this statement so I'm guessing that they are treated for Salmonella.

And they are considered kosher.

About Sprite. FDA ensures that carbonated drinks are safe and sanitary. They are also honestly labeled. Manufacturers and consumers are required by the FDA to take specific steps in making sure that the drinks are safe. 'Comes in contact with' is a crucial part. The bottles themselves are also strictly regulated.


For chemical preservatives, their function in the drink is required. such as 'preservative, to retard spoilage, a mold inhibitor' and more.

3rd Quarter Art - Brownlee, Niyala

Posted by Niyala Brownlee in Art Advanced - Hull on Friday, February 1, 2013 at 11:19 pm
This quarter for art I had decide to make my own pieces. I had done a few different things. I had wanted to do something abstract, and a few things not. A painting and just regular pencil drawings. Also a pastel drawing. I think that I need to work on the human anatomy a lot more. I'm starting with the female anatomy. Also, I'm trying to make it so that the realistic pieces actually look realistic. i would like to work a lot more with paint, charcoals and pastels. I might try experiment with ol pastels but I don't exactly favor them. I will start (am starting) to experiment with street art. Graffiti art. Graffiti on canvas.
Painting or a sunset. Draft and Final (ish). Decided that I will continue working on it. I had wanted to paint a body of water. There are many things that i dislike about this piece, but mainly its that fact that the water looks too fake. Also the sky isn't that well done.
Painting 1

A pastel piece. I love working with Pastels though the thing is that I am not used to them. Also I'm not so good with them. This piece was made using a reference. (And already made picture not a real life sunset) I guess you could say that its a bit abstract but that's opinionated. There was no sketch before hand.

This was going to be a sketch of my bigger pastel piece but I had decided to make it a painting instead.​ The painting wasn't that good and I never took a picture of it. but this was the sketch of it. (I'd like to draw a waterfall for my next painting.)

These are just black and white pieces, both with an online reference. The second one was more a cartoonish style that the realistic(ish) first one. ​Though I don't think that showed too much. The first one is a human face with animalistic features. (More elf than animal ears.) The second piece is just a face.

Brownlee, Niyala, Music-Culture-Flag

My life revoles around different cultures and music so my circuit shows that. the bottom right is a red music note, then the world, then a star. Its sort of shaped like a flag. I made the battery so it would look like the buttons on an mp3 player. also you put the wire in that makes it light up. (plug it in like an earphone into an earphone jack.

Brownlee, Q1 Benchmark, Eve

Posted by Niyala Brownlee in English 3 - Rami on Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 1:27 pm
Eve - Iris Johansen
Proposal
     The book that I will be using for the Q1 English Benchmark is Eve by Iris Johansen. I will be using an art piece as a representation of the book. the reason that I chose an art piece to represent the project instead of any other means is because, in my opinion, the book is veritably visual. There are also many symbols that are repeated a couple of times.

To represent

Fiery hair
Eves passion and a physical attribute of hers
Skeletal baby
Bonnie
 




Different sketch ideas
- Eve breastfeeding a baby skull
- Eve sitting head turned toward the audience (viewers of the sketch) holding a pile of bones, or clutching her pregnant belly which is a bone x-ray of a baby.
- Eve and Cassandra at the park and them searching (looking panicked) frantically for Bonnie (crowded blurred figures passing)
- John Gallo in a very dark place with a vision of Bonnie (reaching out to her).

Plan:
10/19/12
- Plan out the sketches.
- Start have a really rough sketch (blueprint)

10/20/12 - 10/21/12
- Start the draft sketches
- Buy the supplies
 
    Description
    Though this is only one painting and has few things on it it represents a whole lot in the book. This central piece (two skulls) is the main focus because its the main thing the book involves. One of the main characters - Eve Duncan - is a forensics sculptor and has to be around skulls during work and 'normal' living. The next main character - John Gallo - has dealt with so much hardship and death in his life.
The halo - yes it is a halo- over one of the skull is supposed to show that victims are noticed and the crimes are brought to light. It also shows that some people do experience joy and ecstasy because of the murders.
    The plaid blanket helps to show the bond - wanted or not - between John Gallo, Eve Duncan, and Bonnie. The colors aren't just random, it's to show the many different feelings between them.
    The color scheme represents the variety of feelings and the bond between them. I had not done named a specific emotion to each color for a reason. Its up to the viewers to decide what colors represent what emotions.



Reflection -
    During this project I had had a hard time deciding what to paint. Something I would be able to do but would represent a lot. I am - In my opinion - fairly talented at drawing, though not so much when it comes to painting. So even though it looks like not so much time was put into it, it had taken a while to do.  I also have a smaller version of the project in my sketchbook where I had planned most of the painting out. I had also experimented with what colors would be the best. and most of the colors I used were not just for no reason.
    Over the course of the week I had changed the ideas a bit, and sketched out different versions. The final took one or two days to paint. The whole project took the course of the week.
    If I were to do this project again, then I would choose to do an abstract piece. I find that its easier to represent emotion and themes with abstract art.


- I do not have a digital picture of the final version because it is at school already.

Q4 Niyala Brownlee

Posted by Niyala Brownlee in Advanced Art - Hull on Saturday, June 2, 2012 at 4:10 pm
    For this quarter there were a lot of classes that we were not assigned work. Though I do think this quarter went by smoother than the last one. This quarter I don't think I did as much assigned work as the last quarter. For the majority of the quarter, I had done two hours on a piece rather than an assigned piece. Sadly we never got to draw a picture of the garden on 22nd and something (I'm bad at direction so I don't know it's address). I plan to work on drawing nature over the summer so I will first start on my garden then try the garden at Tanny park. (Which is beautiful by the way. I will upload some of the edited pictures I took also.)
    I don't think I am taking art next year but I would love to take it for senior year. I would also want to know if photography would be counted as work in art class. (Not Instagram photography) I would also love to work on painting and body art. Well since this reflection is getting out of hand, I will end it here and start posting the pictures.

Niyala Brownlee Art Work Quarter 3

Posted by Niyala Brownlee in Advanced Art - Hull on Saturday, April 14, 2012 at 1:13 am
I think that the thing i liked most was making the fur picture. I love cats, but I've always been bad at drawing them, but it actually turned out pretty nice.  I dont think that painting is really my strong point. When we had known we we going to do a color wheel, I was actually super exited and commingup with all these ideas of how I was going to present mine in an abstract way. I had sketched my stuff out and the critisized my work. Though soon i started to procrastinate once again, and actuallly painted it on the last day of art of the third quarter. I think i have gotten much better at drawing realistic eyes, though creating a full face with a nice eye is something I have to work on. I think one of my strong points is to draaw by seeing another work. Its hard for me to sketch things from my own head, but it is easy to come up with them. Most of the time anyway.

All  of my photos are also on my twitter page incase they dont upload here.

'When changing your religions just mind your own opinions" - Niyala Brownlee

Posted by Niyala Brownlee in English 2 - Pahomov on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 8:49 am
     In this interview, you will here about the experience of one person switching religions and in what ways other people had viewed their decision. Also her view on how big of a deal it was for her.​
       While doing this project I have learned that you should never really pay attention to others opinions. You can take them into account but they should not effect your decision in the end.

Changing myself just for others? Why? Why not? - Niyala Brownlee

Posted by Niyala Brownlee in English 2 - Pahomov on Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 2:02 pm

Changing just for others?

Niyala Brownlee

 

            “Hi my names Niyala. Nice to meet you!” That was me introducing my self to my classmates at West Philadelphia High School. I made my voice sound light and airy with a loose smile to make myself seem friendly. Though apparently friendly is not what these people are used to.

            I had gotten many scoffs in return. Some replies of,

“Suck up.”

“Teachers pet.”

And the occasional,

“ Who does she think she is?”

Finally someone chose to utter a complete sentence.

“Where are you from?”

That’s a normal ‘get to know you’ question and all, but of course they choose to add the  “ You don’t sound like your from around here” at the end of the sentence. There were and few more murmurs then I had had gotten the chance to respond.

“What do you mean? Of course I am from West Philadelphia.”

            That type of conversation, including the question ‘Where are you from?’ always had the tendency to pop up during my time spent at West Philadelphia High. At first I had thought that people just wanted to know more about me, though as it turns out, they just wanted to know where my way of speech came from. Soon it had gotten irritating. No matter how many times I had replied with West Philadelphia they would always say I was lying. They had complained that I talked too ‘Proper’ and/or too ‘Correct’ to be from West Philly. I always wanted to complain and argue the fact that my way of speaking was normal for a person living in West Philadelphia and the fact was that ‘they’ had just talked so ‘improper’. Though of course being me, I had no intention to start a fight, so I eventually just gave in to what they were saying. I had not stated that I was from somewhere else; I had adjusted my speech so that it was dulcet to their ears.

            Soon I had gotten so use to that way of speaking that it hardly seemed like I was faking it anymore. However that still does not mean that I liked their way of speech. In actuality, I was appalled with the sounds that were making their way past my lips. When greeting someone, when I would normally say;

            “Hello”

            “ How are you doing”

and

            “Nice to meet you, my name is…”

I would find myself saying something like

            “Hey”

or even,

            “What’s up”

instead. It may not sound like it in another persons ears, but to me it sounds completely rude and just plainly ‘not right’.

            Recently I had read something from a book that had made me look back on my situation. The book was called ‘Hunger of Memory’. It was about a boy coming to Ameri ca and being made to speak a language foreign to him. He was disgusted that he had to even bother speaking it. He had wondered why he could not speak his native language. He had stated:

            “An accident of geography sent me to a school where my classmates were all white.”

(pg 11. paragraph 2)

And I had thought that I had felt the same way as he had. The students may not have been white at West Philadelphia High, but they seemed completely and utterly different from me and what I was used to.

Than he had said

            “It’s not possible for a child – any child – to ever use his families language in school”

(pg 12 paragraph 2)

Reading that had made me think that it resembled my situation even more then before. Then I had realized that he’d had no choice but to change his language. He was never given a chance to speak how he had wanted. I was. I was never forced to change my language. I was never even asked to try to speak more like the people around me. I had just considered that if I acted like others around me, I could be like them. I would be liked by them. Though I found out that to be like them, I would have to be myself and if they didn’t like that , then I was be best without them. There’s no reason for me to change my voice for others. No reason to change anything and that was that.

This needs to end...(niyala brownlee0

Posted by Niyala Brownlee in English 2 - Pahomov on Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 1:39 pm
Niyala Brownlee

This needs to end…

(In her room sitting in a corner with low light down knees up.)

I’m scared….

I’m scared shitless. …

(Pleading)

I want this to end.

No I need this to end.

What did I do to deserve this?

I mean, all I did…was help someone.

Was that so wrong?

They were being bullied,

And I thought it was wrong so…of course I intervened.

(Suddenly bland cold voice with no feelings but hate and blame)

But then It happened.

They turned on me.

First…the school,

…And then my friends.

I could handle the ignorance of the teachers and the sudden downfall in my ‘Popularity’. But of course,

When you leave something unattended or…let things go on without doing anything about it for a long time…

It gets worse.

Much worse.

(Sarcastic snobby tone)

It starts with the small pranks,

You know,

Like the old disappearing desk, or…the classical egg throwing and being locked in the bathroom stall with a bucket of water dumped over your head.

(adding in a lost wondering tone. Almost as if shes not speaking )

Then it turns big.

Thumb tacks everywhere you go. Burning trash in you book bag.

And if that doesn’t make someone paranoid enough,

(Questioning answer demanding tone)(Starts pacing)

Then what about when you to home to find everything in your room trashed,

but the doors were all locked. (smirking)

When you can’t even be safe in your own house… its scary isn’t it?

Yeah well you don’t even know the half of what it feels like. (cold wincing look)

It make me afraid,

Very afraid. (Sad face, start looking like she’s going to cry)

Makes me…Paranoid. (hands up to either side of the head wide eyes, wild crazy look)

I need help.

I need them to stop.

I need this to end.

What am I going to do.

When will this end?

(Just figured out tone)

Know, I know why that kid never said anything.

Know I know why no one dared to speak up.

But of course I had to open my mouth and say something.

But I don’t regret it.

I don’t regret what I did.

(Starts slowly speaking with fierce determination gradually getting louder. Emphases on the ‘I’)

What ‘I’ regret is how I never said anything against my own abuse.

What ‘I’ regret is how I didn’t stop it before it started.

What ‘I’ regret….

(Suddenly stops and starts speaking slowly but still determined)

…No…what I can’t stand!..

Is how I had the guts to stand up for someone else, But I coward in fear when it came to myself.

If I want this to end,

I have to do this my self.

I have to take the first step and take measures into my own hands because that’s where they were in the first place.

But when I strike back, I will not do I will not sink to there level with their dirty childish tricks.

I will be mature with my attack.

It wont be physical. But it will hurt like hell.

It will end my torture.

But at the same time, it will make them think twice about doing this to me, or anyone ever again.

Yeas that’s how I will fight back

That’s how I will win.

(Smirking determined face)

Why I write

Posted by Niyala Brownlee in English 2 - Pahomov on Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 2:27 pm
Why do i write?
i write to express my feelings and let out myself. When i write words flow from my head to my hand. My pen to my paper. when i hold a pencil and a paper I feel like creating my own imaginary world, with its own stories and its own problems. Magic or not. Violence and peace. they all come to my head when i write.
The feeling when i write is like the great relief. Everything I'm thinking flows on paper. jumbled or in order. doesn't matter, they all make it on the paper.
My pieces of writing all make me proud. The thing that makes me frustrated it that i know i can do better.
I lose myself when i write. my mind grabs a topic and comes up with a million things for it. It jumbles and jungles  the ideas and hopefully pics the closest ones for it. I sometimes stray of topic because i need to get something off my chest or i need to say everything on my mind. I cant always rely on myself to edit and delete my works because it's hard for me to chose or single anything out.
I love to write and read and it is what i do the most.
