CMM - Customed Dog Tags

Recently we have created three dog tags each with a name on it, preferably. We created these in tinkercad, I had two of them made out of acrylic and one wood. We had to send them to Mr as a DXF from an SVG which we converted.

Business Studies - Steve jobs draft work

Steve Jobs - Draft - Entrepreneur

Steve Job’s was born, February 24th 1955 to two  University of Wisconsin graduate students, Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali. They placed their unnamed child up for adoption, and he was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. Throughout Job’s childhood, he learnt about electronics and chips, how to build them with his adopted father in their family garage. Steve Wozniak was a computer nerd and worked at HP while Steve Jobs worked at Atari. Between the two of them, their love of making things easier and simpler lead to them designing small devices such as the infamous Blue Boxes. These little devices could be connected to your phone to make free long-distance calls. Wozniak and Jobs attended a computer club together, where Wozniak saw a MITS Altair. This build-it-yourself computer inspired him to attempt throwing together a computer at home with cheap parts he had on hand.Ultimately, this led to what would be known as the Apple I, which was constructed with a simple keyboard and TV, and he built the motherboard on a piece of plywood. Steve Jobs saw this and offered to fund its production by selling his van.

 Apple Computer was founded on April 1, 1976, with its home computer product marketed at $666.66 each. They managed to earn enough money to move out of the garage and begin work on the Apple II. During the ’80s, Steve felt like he didn’t want to run the company while overlooking production. So he talked with the CEO of Pepsi, John Sculley to have a few roles in the company and so he did. This allowed Jobs to continue interacting with the development teams without interruption. Xerox was looking for ways to compete and had a graphical interface and pointing device they didn't like. Steve Jobs saw it and got it from them immediately, seeing its potential. This started the creation of the Lisa and Macintosh with two development teams fighting for dominance. Jobs had felt interested in the development of the Lisa but ultimately both Lisa 1 and 2 failed to make great success, the 2nd was half the cost than the first and the Lisa 1 was pricey and the software couldn’t beat other companies’. In ‘84 the Macintosh was released with much glee from Apple. In 1985 everything was going downhill, the company was filled with fighting, Wozniak left due to feeling the company wasn’t going the way he had imagined and Job’s being very eager with ideas to be shared for products. CEO Scully and the board decided that Jobs was too hot-headed and began stripping him of roles that he had in the business until he was barely a figurehead. Ultimately Steve Jobs left, or was fired, depending on who you ask. Apple soon went terrible, having bad sells on new products and was becoming absolutely trash.


Steve had now seen a new beginning with starting NeXT with a few employees. At NeXT Jobs made two computers, The first was revealed through a keynote presentation in ‘88 and did not be a huge success, only selling in the hundreds and having a hefty price tag. The 2nd computer just couldn’t make any sales and get attention, it sold at $5k 1990 money. By ‘93 NeXT was shrinking, and so Jobs sold the hardware department to Cannon and decided to put all his attention on, software. The new operating system, NeXTSTEP, had a colourful GUI and held many improvements still used today.

Research - Digestive System

This week we have been assigned to make a research project on the Digestive System. I have done the task with the help of my group of Chris, Lincoln and me, this was interesting to find out about some of the organs that consist of the Digestive System.

DTE - Introduction

We have done our own development plan, Ergonomics infographic and learn about how a computer can process and function. Binary code and how computers work with the language.

I enjoyed learning about the concepts of a development plan and what ergonomics is, I also enjoyed learning about the beginner stuff on how computers work and function. I disliked the part on how some of the language being said, I didn't understand. Leaving me with some words coming through one ear and out the other. I feel as if the information should have been simplified a little bit more so few could understand a bit more. 

Coraline Film Study: Challenges Chart & Identifying 2-3 strengths in Coraline and character of my own choice

What am I learning?
Understand how characters are developed in a film
How does this work show my learning?
It shows that I have understood how a character has encountered and dealt with a problem, described their reaction and also described what their reaction says about the character.
What am I wondering as a result of this learning?
I am wondering that if one problem which a character has faced and dealt with, with a reaction which gives a conclusive opinion on them as a trait but it is a one-time thing doesn't make sense for such a conclusive idea of the character, for there could be another time the character deals with a similar problem which is handled differently and shows a different trait.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.
Coraline:
Characters 2-3 strengths showed in the story:
Coraline showed curiosity throughout mostly the whole story where there were multiple cases of Coraline wanting to explore unknown areas like the 'Otherworld', the well by her house and the exploration through the pathway to the 'Otherworld'. Coraline has also shown bravery in her quest of leaving the 'other world' as she had to face evil creatures for the eyes of the ghost children and The Beldam herself, Coraline pushed herself to make a rational decision while there for the 2nd to last time when she had to throw the cat at The Beldam's face as a distraction, it seemed to be the best option at that moment. Lastly, Coraline had shown perseverance when throughout her mission to leave the 'other world' and get rid of The Beldam, she had to fight off creatures and the 'love' of the Beldam which The Beldam was disguised as Coraline's 'Other Mother' but Coraline understood she wasn't her real mum since she had button eyes. When Coraline was collecting the last ghost child's eye and she had thrown her triangle circle cut out at the mouse who had the last eye and missed. she thought it was all over and that she had lost but when she had made it to ground level after leaving 'Other Mr Bobinsky's' house the 'other cat' surprised her with the rat and eye which pushed her to continue her mission.

The Beldam:
Characters 2-3 strengths showed in the story:
The Beldam had also shown perseverance throughout her pursuit to fool Coraline into loving her and then eating her soul, she had given love and delicious foods to please Coraline and kept up the act of being her 'Other Mother' till the end where she failed to capture Coraline once again but was finished off. The Beldam had social intelligence when it came to speaking and luring Coraline into the trap when she planned for, she knew how to speak and try to persuade Coraline. She gave what Coraline wanted and kept her act up the whole time till she showed her real self at the end but failed to get Coraline in her trap and is forever locked in her 'Otherworld'.

2.
Perseverance - Is important to have for when you have hit a roadblock or obstacle while trying to pursue something, it gives you motivation and helps you conquer them and allows success come quicker than you once thought.
Social intelligence - Another trait which is one which is very helpful as it gives you a step up in a lot of situations that require you to speak, knowing what to say and understanding what the energy is coming from a group or individual.
Bravery - Bravery is always something which you should have so when it comes to facing something big you aren't in fear and you can face it upfront.

What am I learning?
Understand how characters are developed in a film

How does this work show my learning?

This piece of work shows my understanding of the traits of which I have linked to two characters.

What am I wondering as a result of this learning?

I'm wondering if I have made correct statements and if I have made correct assumptions of traits for the characters.

Which of the skills above do you think is the most important? (Highlight them in your table). Explain your answer: It is important that you are having an eye on what your business and employees are up to, knowing what they are doing for either all the time or most of it is great because you can put them back in line if they're slacking or failing to work the job in which they are occupying.

The quote is by Colin Powell

The way in which this quote means hard work and achievement to me is by the way in which it speaks about wanting a dream to become real but the only way it can is by doing the hard work for it and also having the determination/motivation to do it.
