My 10% Time project elaborates on Depression along with essentials:


• What exactly is Depression and its evolution to treatment

• Chemical changes of Depression

• Anything that the public isn’t aware of that we don’t hear about everyday

Simone Greene's Capstone 2012

Posted by Simone Greene in Capstone - Manuel on Friday, May 25, 2012 at 2:36 pm
I created an informational book for Science Leadership Academy. I had to collect pictures and accurate information for this book. Every page advertised SLA in its own way; each page was a separate topic that elaborated on the school. I scheduled many meetings with my mentors Stephanie Dunda and Christian Kunkle to generate abstract ideas and to receive suggestions. Since I want to have a career in the advertising field, I figured why not go all out and create an informational book for my school so that when I graduate, I would have made a difference, improving our promo and include this project in my portfolio.

Simone Greene's Q1 Food Benchmark

Posted by Simone Greene in Science and Society - Best on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 5:11 pm

Recipe & Analysis 
Healthy Rasta Pasta Meal

1. (1 serving)

- Steamed broccoli (1/4 cup)

- Rotini noodles (bowl)

- Small-diced carrots (1/5 cup)

- Loose corn (1/7 cup)

- Black pepper (3 pinches)

- Parmesan cheese (5 pinches)

- Garlic butter sauce (3 spoons)

Steps....

• Boil noodles at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes until they are soft

• Steam broccoli with black pepper, small diced carrots and corn in a pot for about 10 minutes

•  Drain noodles after soft, and mix noodles with the broccoli, carrots and corn

• Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the meal

 

a.             I'd say that the majority of the food is processed, because I had to chop and remove the outside layer of the carrots, and cut the broccoli. I bought the corn loose as it was, but I assume it was processed because corn comes from cob, they are attached, and so the company shaved the corn off of the cob. I am not sure about the noodles, but more than likely it is processed. 

b.             The Caloric count is 140, 5 grams of sugar (a lot, did not realize that), 8 grams of fat (I think its a lot with 4.5 of that being saturated fat.  That is mostly likely from animals. Saturated fat is greasy, or oily and that’s understandable because this meal was pasta that had garlic BUTTER sauce. My body will store some of the sugar that it got from the meal, and eject what it does not need into the liver.  3,500 calories is stored in your body for when you are not active. This is the body's way of saving energy that is mean o be burned off, it not, then it stays stored can most likely will be hard to "unstore".

c.            If I were to eat nothing but this meal everyday, then I would not be getting the OTHER essentials that my body needs, and my body would get tired of the same fats, oils, sugars, etc. 

d.            I think that my ingredients didn’t come from that far because I only have farming veggies and noodles. The veggies can get old fast, and if traveling from a far, that more dangerous or more aware you want to be about your food. So I think mine came from the far east coast of the U.S. My corn/broccoli/carrots came from a farm in Minneapolis, from a company called Green Giant. I was close. They came more so from the Middle Western part of the U.S. where they have that more of a hot weather and requirements to actually farm.

e.             This meal costs, $4.79. Compared to other junk and fatty foods, this meal costs less than a meal from McDonalds where those meals there can be $ 5.00 and unsurprisingly higher. However, a person can benefit more from just my meal. It is owned by General Mills.

f.              From a company, they add a lot of preservatives, and fertilizer rather than just you growing your own food. Companies advertise differently in order to attract hungry consumers. They say things to make a consumer want to buy from them. They have commercial ads that supposedly show where they are producing the broccoli, how, where it’s being packaged to etc, just to make the consumer feel comfortable. 





Self Reflection

My role in the larger food system consists of different views. For me, the way that the food system is treating what and me I am receiving is OK. Mainly because the side effects of fracking aren’t affecting me directly, is why I am ok with it.  Also, the way that our food is preserved, companies use too much of this, and too less of that.  Too may cloned, plants that isn’t what the mother of nature provided freshly from nothing. My food has to be cloned. The sound is very uncomfortable. However, if I were the resident of a house who lived in an area that was being bombarded by frackers, and that effected my physically, and the food, there would not be one pinch of happiness within me. I would not even want to stay at my house to fight the system because I would already be disgusted that it has already begun.  Then again, if I was the system, I would do what   I have to do in order to better the country. As for the whole western diet. SMH. It is a matter of a person. The person who has that overweight problem has to be motivated in order to take action to change their weight.  Is the problem that they are not being motivated enough? They take death lightly? Why is that?

Musical Instrument blog #1 &blog #2

I will build, and then later on play the Flute for my group presentation. Our objective is to build an instrument, and then play it for our class. There are obstacles that we need to do such as calculation and such in order to do this. I researched the background of the Flute. To play the flute and produce sound, someone will have to blow through a hole at the end of the Flute and while blowing, there would be holes at the other end of the Flute where the persons fingers will be covering the holes and uncovering the holes based on what notes that they want to play, and to change the notes. The Flute is a basic pipe; it can have either one fixed end or two loose ends. It also has holes that are different lengths from the hole at the opposite end, which is where the person blows into.  When  i think about myself playing the Flute in order to change the sound, i will have to simply practice where at what time my fingers cover and uncover certain notes (the holes at the opposite end of the blow in hole).  Compared to waves,  the size of the flute, and where the holes are, determines the sound outcome. As the notes changes, the notes change as well

Energy from the air molecules transfer into the hole that is blown through, and they vibrate within the Flute, and as that happen, having the notes at the other end of the Flute either covered or uncovered, the Flute vibrations actually turns into sound. In order to change the pitch, the notes that are on the Flute are the holes. The hole that is farthest away from where it is to be blown into is the lowest note.  The hole closest to where we have to blow in the holes to produce sound makes the highest pitch. So to change the pitch, simply change the notes. I will just use my fingers in order to play this instrument. I will play my instrument based off of the songs notes.  If a note indicated that have to play note A, then ill have to use one of my fingers to cover up the A note. To build this instrument, I will have to have a PVC pipe for the flute structure itself, duck tape to have a fixed end flute by covering one side of the pipe, and a drill to drill holes where the notes will be.

Silence Yourself by Using Censorship

Posted by Simone Greene in American History - Herman on Wednesday, March 9, 2011 at 11:01 am
As the world becomes more modern, freedom of speech comes in all sorts of forms, blog post, a comment or review, a radio station broadcast, because with globalization occurring more and more everyday a person is able to get their ideas out there to the public more easily. However, with so many people sharing their opinions and thoughts it obvious that there needs to be some force to censor out the more obscene ideas and imagery and music. My classmates and I decided to look into the whole censoring of things to see if we were being protected by organizations like the FCC, or just silenced from the world.
