Minimum wage

A lot of people are saying that they think the minimum should be increased and a few people said that it should be made a living wage

while I can understand that it would benefit people making minimum wage it would mean that other jobs would need an increase to balance it out

In DTE term 4 we were focusing on making our own Arduino project. for this, we were making a vending machine using the Arduino the push the item out. 

RESEARCH: We are going to be making a mini tabletop vending machine that will be powered by an Arduino code. We are making this because we saw a video on how to make it and we thought it looked cool. 

Arduino and case: we were going to laser cut the case but we couldn't get it working in time so we weren't able to cut it, we didn't start on the Arduino because we were to focused on the box.

How to use taps in engineering

How to use Taps and die sets in engineering: Taps and dies are tools used to create screw threads, which is called threading. Many are cutting tools; others are forming tools.

What is tap and die used for in Engineering? Taps and dies are tools used to create screw threads, which is called threading. Many are cutting tools; others are forming tools.

When would you use a tap for a thread? A tap is used to cut or form the female portion of the mating pair (eg a nut). A die is used to cut or form the male portion of the mating pair (eg a bolt)

Does the hole need to be bigger or smaller, explain why. Use The Correct Hole Size

If the hole is too small, it will cause the tap to bind and quite possibly break trying to cut too much material.

Find a chart for a metric tapping thread size.

What are the different types of tap ( taper, intermediate, taper) explain the difference between them 

Taper Tap

A taper tap has quite a lot of taper to help it ease into cutting threads gradually.   Typically, the first 8 to 10 threads are tapered.  Taper Taps are the most common types of taps and are typically what you’ll have in a Tap and Die Set.

Bottoming Tap

A bottoming tap has almost no taper at the end because it is designed to thread all the way to the bottom of its reach.  Only 1 to 1.5 threads will be tapered. Bottoming Taps are useful for threading blind holes.  It’s desirable to thread most of the hole with a Taper Tap first, and then finish the bottom of the hole with a Bottoming Tap.

Plug Tap

Plug Taps are in between Bottoming and Taper Taps because they have 3-5 threads tapered, which is more than a Bottoming Tap and less than a Taper Tap. Unfortunately, the terminology is not always consistent.  Some vendors call these “Second Taps” and refer to Bottoming Taps as Plug Taps.  Check to be sure what you’re getting and using.

Essay question: ‘Describe an incident which changes the course of events in the text. Explain how this helped you to understand an important idea in the text’

Statement	Example/Evidence (include a quote)	EXplain quote	EXplain Effect on the Reader	Your link -- to another part of the text	Your link -- to the wider world
The incident of saran carving the word maggot into Zelie's back helped me to understand the important idea of prejudice because it shows how far king Saran would go to torture Zelie just because she is different from him.	We see this in the text when Saran says “I admire your defiance child. It's impressive you’ve made it this far. But I wouldn't be doing my job as King if i didn't remind you what you are”	This shows that saran is abusing his power and taking out his anger on Zelie because of what happened to his old family but he is only allowed to do this because he is King	This made the reader feel bad for Zelie because she is on the receiving end of King saran abusing his powers.	It reminded me of another important part of the book when saran killed Amari's friend Binta because this also shows the idea of Prejudice.	In the real world, this idea is important because you shouldn't treat people differently no matter what even if they are different from you
Another way the incident of saran cutting the word “maggot” into Zelie's back helps us understand the idea from the other perspective because it shows us how vulnerable and helpless Zelie is when saran is torturing her. helped me to understand the important idea from the other perspective because it shows us how vulnerable and helpless Zelie is when saran is abusing his powers	We see this in the text when...	This means that…	This made the reader feel________ because _________.	It reminded me of another important part in the book when __________, because this also shows the idea of __________.	In the real world, this idea is important because ___________.

mBot Analysis

mBot and mBot Ranger

Robotics group review on the mBot and mBot Ranger 

Names:	What we think about The mBot	What we think of the mBot Ranger
Greg	It’s very bad because it often malfunctions and does not run most code correctly which is very frustrating.	It doesn’t work
Austin	They malfunction often and sometimes they just run by themselves. The robot sometimes goes by its self.	It doesn’t work
Aron	They are kind of easy to use but can be annoying to make work. Not efficient when it comes to coding	It doesn’t work
Kalim	It’s 50/50 when it comes to enjoying and the difficult the sensors didn’t really work	It doesn’t work
Andre	It is a cool idea but they don’t always work the way it should	It doesn’t work

 

                                                      

Children of Blood and Bone Chapter 9

“Mama, are you okay?”
Tears come to her eyes, spilling into the wrinkles of her dark skin. “It’s been so
long,” she whispers. “I never thought I would feel the warmth of magic again”
…
“I feel,” she chokes through her silent sobs. “I feel like I can breathe again.” A message I take from this scene is that not everyone isn't honest because everyone thought that Mama Agba wasn't a deviner but it turned out she was.
