community you belong to. Now most people, non-religious or who do not have a cultural identity, from my experience and research, do not belong to a community, they just live in a certain neighborhood. In the end though, most people live in a certain neighborhood because of a cultural, religious or even race based reason. The neighborhoods I will be writing about are both located in Brooklyn, NY. My neighborhood/community is Gerritsen Beach. The other neighborhood is Bay Ridge. Gerritsen Beach Brooklyn
took many blocks to build one pyramid and these blocks were very large. Why I’m writing this paper I am writing this paper because I studied about Ancient Egypt. I learned a lot about pyramids and how they were made, working on the TAG project. I also want to learn if pyramids were built by just men or if women were also involved. I want to learn more about how long it took to build them and if many people died while building them. I’d like to know how many blocks were used
wave undergoes refraction as it approaches the medium. This can be demonstrated by shining a beam of light through a block of rectangular glass. Refraction also causes the wave length to change but the frequency never changes. How does refraction happen? Light slows down as it hits a denser medium for example, glass. If you were to direct a beam of light at a glass block you will see that the light changes direction when entering the glass. The reason for this is when the light comes into
Investigating the Stability of Blocks Planning I am going to investigate the stability of blocks by placing them on to a board and raising it until they fall. The evidence I will need to collect is: the height and centre of mass for each block and the angle at which they fall. I will need to use five regular blocks, the board I will use to raise the blocks must be flat and level and likewise so must the surface I am working on. I will use my scientific knowledge of center of mass
The Effect of Weight on Sliding Friction Between a Block and Surface Planning ======== In this investigation we are going to find out what effect weight has on sliding friction. Friction is the force that is between two objects that are in contact with each other. The force is always present even though people only think it is there when the object is moving. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the first people to experiment with the idea of friction. He came up with two types of friction;
Finding out the Speed of Light Through Perspex Aim To find out the speed of light through Perspex by passing a narrow ray of light through a D-Block of Perspex, by using the same concepts and ideas as Snell's Law. Background Light is an electromagnetic wave. The speed of light depends on the medium through which it propagates: it goes fastest in a vacuum, almost as fast in air but considerably slower in glass. Because of the special role it plays in many parts of physics, the speed
The Day My Mother Went to the Hospital During second period math class, the PA comes on. I hear "David Higgins to the office for an early dismissal, Please". Being as I was only in the second grade, I rushed to the office, only to see my God Mother waiting for me. She tells me that we have to go pick up my other two brothers at pre-school. I asked her why, but, she only responded with "I'll explain later". So I followed her to the car and hopped in. We rushed to Mitzpah, where the pre-school
rebound off the block at the same speed that it hits it at. As some of the energy has been converted into a different form when it hits the block. Prediction ========== [IMAGE]I predict that as the velocity of the ball approaching the surface increases then the speed at which it rebounds off it also increases proportionally. So if I double the speed of Va (velocity of approach) then the speed at which it rebounds is also doubled. e.g. Va Vr. This means that the graph of my results should
down Valencia to 15th instead of 14th, and headed down the block that's supposed to be one of the worst in the city, along the side of the Valencia Street Projects. It was a beautiful, warm night, and tons of people were hanging out outside. It looked like a few drug deals were being had, but usually no one hassles me. I was wearing my torn up jeans jacket that I bought 13 years ago in high school, my jogging shorts and old Nikes, and my hair was all messy. How the hell could I have looked like
list: Ray box Power pack Perspex D-Block Pencil Paper with degree markings. [IMAGE] Method: · Set up apparatus as shown in diagram. · Shine light ray through D-Block. · Mark out position of incident ray and refracted ray. · Measure angle I and angle r. · Repeat a number of times changing the position of the ray box each time. To make it a fair test I will use the same apparatus every time and make sure that the d block doesn't change position when I carry out
estrangements between my American friends and me. Because of my misuse of "yes" and "no," I often find that my friends misunderstand me: They perceive the exact opposite meaning from what I intend to give them. The following example will show how the misuse has embarrassed me. One day only a month after I came to the U.S., I happened to have dinner with an American student, Bob, in a dining hall. He was living in the next room in the school dormitory. He asked me several questions about my background, including
there is when a group of civilians enter the surrounding of another expecting to leave with something they shouldn't. The main thing we were expecting to leave with was respect. Its all about respect. This was the type of game that every hit and every block counted. We knew that we will be partying with them the next spring, and we wanted bragging rights. That was the type of silence that it was, all the way to Paonia. The misty damp air gave us the impression that our game could be postponed or at
program continues to the next block. Conditional structures include the simple, two-alternative, multi-alternative, and non-deterministic conditional. The simple conditional is the easiest to understand being the IF-THEN statement. if *Boolean expression* then *block of statements* IF a condition is met THEN execute a statement. The two-alternative conditional or IF-ELSE is also easy to understand. if *Boolean expression* then *block of statements* else *block of statements* IF a condition
Analysis of the Spike Lee's Movie Do the Right Thing For my shot analysis I chose a shot from the Spike Lee Movie Do the Right Thing. This is the second shot following the climactic riot scene. It features Da’ Mayor and Mother Sister reacting to the hellacious events of the previous night. The block was just devastated by a melee that broke out because the police killed Radio Raheem after he and Sal got in an altercation that was triggered by the volume of Radio Raheem’s boom box. Though at a
Living with Death In his film The Seventh Seal, Ingmar Bergman openly addresses the human response to death. The film documents the return of Antonius Block and his squire Jons to their homeland after their ten years of fighting in the Crusades. During their return journey to Antonius Block's castle, the characters encounter death in many forms, including the devastating plague afflicting the population and (even less subtly) Death personified in his classic black garb. Each of Block's and Jons'
was hard to be a chile because my block is a tough block and my school is a tough school. I’m not trying to cop out on what I do or don’t do cause man is man and chile is chile, but I ain’t a chile no more. Don’t nobody want to be no chile cause, for some reason, it just hold you back in a lotta ways; unless you be a rich chile like in some movie picture or like on T.V.—where everybody is livin it up and their room is perfect-lookin and their swimmin pool and their block and their house and they also
Jail Time Those blocks (block, block, block) in just plain gray (gray, gray, gray): the perfect surroundings to leave one's mind blank... or insane. Ow. My head hurts. It has been lying against this wall for at least an hour now. I scratched the back of my head to move around my dark, curly hair. It was beginning to feel plastered against my scalp. It was a bit tangled from not brushing it for a day and my fingers did not run through it with ease; nevertheless, it felt good
your texture using either the browse button or the pull down. "scroll_water" is selected. Good. Step 2 and 3: Click on the "Block Tool"(step 2) select the object type (step 3) and create your Block, or brush for that matter. I happend to make mine a rectangle 224W x 112l x 1h. It doesn't matter what the size is, as long as it fits your needs. It can be a cylinder, wedge, block, etc. Doesn't matter. (note: the more faces the more fun it will be to configure the directions. So be advised to stay away
The Green Mile For my third quarter book report I read The Green Mile written by Stephen King. This book is about an old man, Paul Edgecomb, recalling his experiences when he worked as the cell block captain in Cold Mountain state penitentiary. Paul was the cell block captain of death row in this Alabama correctional institute. This story takes place in a nursing home. The narrator Paul is writing a book about when he was cell block captain in 1932. During the time he is writing his book
Keeping up with My Friends In my early years, my family and I seemed to be up to date with the fast growing technology. We had the things the neighborhood kids were jealous of. Then as I grew older, something happened. All of a sudden, I wasn't the only one on the block with the cool stuff. In fact, my things paled in comparison to my friends' new things. Now I was a bit jealous of my friends. I would ask my dad if we could have some of the same things my friends did, and the answer was always
