Evelyn Glennie: Shows How to Listen

What will you remember about her performance? Be specific about the experience.
Just the fact that she was able to play music even though she was death. And it helped me more because you can really do anything you want if you just believe in yourself. That's what Evelyn Glennie did even when the school told her that she can't be in there because she is death, but the she proved them wrong.

Describe what it felt like listening to her play. What factors helped create this moment? You can describe any of the times that she played on either instrument (the Snare drum or Marimba).
It was interesting because at first i didn't know that she was death and that fact that she was made it even more interesting. Her music was really peaceful, and how she used some many part of her body that people usually don't use made it more interesting.

What elements of her performance influenced what the audience heard?
Like I was saying on the answer before how she was playing music with different parts of her body. And then when she told the audience to clap they all clapped with there hands and she pointed that out, but there some many other ways you can clap and make music. And how she was explain all of those.

What did she mean by, "Each person experiences music in their own way"? Think about how you experience music and why everyone doesn't enjoy listening to the same music.
I think what she meant by "Each person experiences music in their own way?", is that different people have different taste in music and there influenced by that and also if you grow up to rock music your most likely to like rock music when you older. Something else that i thought she meant was that people find different ways to play music. Some people hear music, play music, write music, and all those people experience different things with those experiences.

Electric-Car Resurrection
Carmakers launch their battery powered rides

In this article, it's talking about how 2010 should be the year that electric cars come back to life. GM, Nissan and Fisker are the ones coming out with the cars. They put so much time into making them, over 22,000 people are already in line to get them. The car for GM is plan to come out during winter, the Nissan late this year, and the Fisker would be coming out during this summer. Although the Fisker was origanaly was supposed to come out late laster year, its supposed to meet it 's deadline this year. This article falls under Technology.

The eletric-cars are supposed to help us, and our eviorment so that we don't use so much gas that paluts the air. So hopefully it will help us. These cars aren't just here to look nice, they look nice and are better for the enviorment thats why GM, Nissan, and Fisker put so much work into the cars and hopefully they don't fail.

In 2010 is schedule when the cars are supposed to be coming out. Will see if they work and if alot of people are going to by them. By the looks of it, it does look like alot of people are going to be car owners of these car and their going to be a success.

So stuff that were obstacles for the car to come out was the biggest bankruptcy in American history. Even though this happed, GM really tryed hard to get it done. I think that all the money that they put into it would pay off, after the cars come out.They say alot of electric-car launches have a big history in delays and cancellations, but they think that this year is the year that it would really come out and meet its deadlines. But soemthing that can also affect they buyers because they might have a 2nd thought on how it really is since electric-cars don't have a good backround on them.

Entertainment

TV on the Go

Watch live TV on any screen, anywhere

The article that I read was about how your not going to need TV anymore to watch football games or anything else on TV. You could watch it on any mobile device, a cell phone, and net book. A mobile device that has a tuner chip would be able to receive signal for free from transmission towers. This falls under Entertainment.

The big deal about it is that entertainment is growing more and more year by year. And soon we are going to be able to have TV where ever we go with out having to pay for it, which makes electronic devices take over people because their always on it.

USB dongles that work like TV antennas are going to be on sale for laptops, and by the second half of this year their going to be new TV ready cell phones, and add-on dongles for cell phones we already have.

Semester Academic Goals For Mysics

Goal: Turn in my work on time and completed.
First Step: Ask for help if I'm confused on a work sheet, or go to office hours so I could stay focused on my work, or go to a quiet place so I won't be distracted. Make homework my first priority.

Goal:Be more interactive during class, ask more questions if I'm confused.
First Step: If i want to speak up during class, speak up instead of being shy or ask a question instead of staying confused.

Goal: Make my math/physics DP better.
First Step: If I have extra time during class use it wisely.

The Locker Proble

1 4 9 16
1o 1o 1o 1o
2c 3c 2c
4o 9o 4o
8c
16o

In my group we figured out that the lockers that are going to be opened are the perfect squared numbers. The reason that is because every perfect squared has an odd amount of factors (See the example on the bottom if you don’t understand why they have an odd amount of factors). It's like a pattern opened, closed, opened, closed, etc. If there is a even amount of factors then its going to land on a closed, and if theirs a odd amount of factors it's going to land on a open. Like the example above those are perfect squared numbers, and the o and c stand for open and closed. As you could see all of them land on open. For example after 16 it's not going to be touch anymore because the 17th student would skip it, so that means it wouldn't be touched anymore, and then 18 would skip it to, and so on. At the end of this all we came out to 31 lockers being open because that it the last perfect squared number that doesn't equal more then 1,000. And if we if it was 32 squared then the sum would end up being more then 1,000

The number 16 has an odd amount of factors and 15 have an even amount. The factors for 16 are 1, 2, 4,8,16 and the factors for 15 are 1, 3,5,15. As you could see for 15 the factors each have a pair, 1x15 & 3x5. But if you look at 16s factors they don’t each have a pair. It’s 1x16, 2x8, but what about the 4. The four doesn’t have a pair. That is the reason why perfect squares have an odd amount of factors

Order of Operations

1. 4(2+3)-10+9^2

2. 2^2+6-5*2

3. 2*6+12/2=18

What does Math & Physics mean to you?

What does Math mean to yo?

To me math is about numbers. As you get older and you go to higher grades math gets more difficult. I remember math used to be lik

e 4+4=8, now its harder it has variables and more. Math is every where, sometimes your doing it and u don't even know. When your paying for something your doing math. To me math is one of my favorite subjects because its kind of a challenging but its also because it always been more interesting for me. Its interesting how all this stuff works, how you could do different problems and it would equal the same thing. Math is a big subject, one thing you do leads to another.

What does Physics mean to you?

I don't really know what physics is. Im looking forward to learning more about it. Right now all i know is that it's a type of science. I don't know what type or anything thats why i am looking forward to this class. Physics class is going to be a new experience for me so that going to be interesting. But yeah thats pretty much all i know.
