Neilus Developers & 322x Website - Kern Clarke

322x Website (viewing in school in next to impossible dude to the fact most of the content dwells on youtube)

For my senior capstone I created a website. This website will be used to put myself out there as a web developer as well as showcasing other projects I've worked on. Another component to my capstone was the making of at least one other website to be able to place on my website to showcase. I created a website for a fellow student’s company as well as my show case. The final component to my capstone was making a website for one of my school projects.

Las Cazuelas

​Senorita invited a restaurant named Las Cazuelas to our school. They served great food, and answered a lot of our questions. My favorite drink was the Rice Milk and my favorite food was the rice.

Anwar Abdul-Qawi Capstone "The World and Us"

For my Capstone I would like to base my project on two questions, “How much do people know, and care about animal extinction, and world conservation?” and “What are the best ways to give information about these topics so that the listener would be interested in what is being mentioned?”  The reason why I chose this topic is because I have a big interest in animals, and their life. Also since over the years I have been working at important animal organizations such as PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) , The Philadelphia Zoo, and  The Academy of Natural Sciences. At each of these organizations I have obtained different skills that deal with animals, and people. Mainly these places try to focus on the topic of world conservation, and animal rescue.

BlaseB Films & "A Teenager's Empire" Screenplay - Blase Biello

I began this project by putting all of my creative media pieces into one creative media portfolio list, this way I could refer back to any of my works at any time. I then began building a website (online portfolio) to showcase my own/company’s work. I created blasebfilms.com and put all of my work on there, including summaries of some of the movies, pictures from filming on set, a blog, contact information and much more. I then began writing my feature -length screenplay, "A Teenager's Empire" with the help of my 2 English teachers, one being my mentor, Alexa Dunn and Meeno Rami. I worked all year on this screenplay and finally completely finished it in May. I plan on creating it later on in life when I have a very large budget. Throughout the capstone process, I learned how to market myself as a filmmaker and showcase my work professionally.



Globalzation and Philadelphia connection

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B479VBd-NGsHYWFWVVBra1M5Vjg


What I found challenging about this project was trying to find the right pictures to relate to globalization and having to explain it.  2 of the images that I found in my project wasn’t straight forward of how it related to globalization so I had to use the knowledge or information from what I know which was challenging.   The two images were a security camera and the Philabundance hunger relief center.

 

When going about or collecting the images I was trying to find things that was relevant and had a strong history relating back to globalization.  I just didn’t want to go use any random pictures. As previously stated I was just trying to find things that were relevant and showed a lot of history. 

 

            I really don’t have a favorite image.  Looking back it is really challenging to choose because each of these images represent something different and unique about each one.    With the images representing something and teaching something new about the history it is difficult to choose a favorite image.  

 

           

I would say Philadelphia is really prevalent is the evidence of globalization. Philadelphia is very diverse city.   Other Cities along with Philadelphia is very diverse.  People from other countries are sometimes forced to leave their countries to go find opportunities. In finding the opportunities people go to the US and spread out within every state. 

           

         

What I learned was that I had to remain patient with trying and figuring out what images I had to use and gather.  Once I was able to stay patient and calm with things I was able to get through things.   I’ve really learned that it takes many websites to find the best information about each of the images and that how some things are not straightforward. 


Globalization in Philadelphia - Blase Biello

Overall, this was a pretty interesting benchmark and I really liked the amount of creativity we were allowed to implement into our project. The most challenging part of this project, would definitely have to be figuring out what to actually take pictures of. Although, I knew common globalization themes, finding examples of them was definitely challenging. The way I went about collecting the images was just taking my normal route to/from school with a sharp eye. I had the themes in my head and I just scanned all of the environment until I found a nice representation. My favorite image is the picture of the lime. I really like the quality of that picture, especially how the limes in the background are blurred out - it captured nice. I also like it because of the label, showing how far that little lime has traveled; it's interesting. Evidence of globalization is definitely prevalent all around Philadelphia, you just have to keep your eyes open and analyze your sights. I think the images of globalization are just as present in Philadelphia as they would be in any other large city. I think this because all of the big cities have the urban center and then the outlying rural area that gets effected along with the city. I learned a lot of information about Philadelphia; including some information about the history of Western Union and the history of global trade.

Henninger Conversation, Post 5 - Deportes

Pre-Conversation:

•  What will be your topic of conversation be? 

Sports, deportees, in other countries.


•  What are 5 questions related to your conversation goal that you can think of ahead of time to ask your partner?

 - ¿Te gusta deportes?

 - ¿Qué deportes juegas?

 - ¿Qué deportes se puede ver en la televisión?

 - ¿Cuál es tu deporte favorito?

 - ¿Tiene usted un atleta profesional favorito?


•  What are you looking forward to about this conversation? 

It will be interesting to see what sports are popular there versus the US.


•  What are you nervous about? 

Not everyone likes/plays sports so it may be difficult to have a good conversation about it. 



Post-Conversation

• Who did I speak with and why did I choose that person? 

I spoke to Luiz, 16, from Brazil. I chose to speak to him because he was around my age and I thought the conversation would be easier and simple. 


• What did you learn about them? 

I learned that he likes soccer and basketball. He also told me that people knowing about American football is rare in Brazil. He's only seen one American football game. 


• How did this interaction help you move towards achieving your personal goal? 

It helped me get a better idea of what life is like for a south American teenager. In many ways it's very similar to my own but there are definitely some differences. 


• What specifically did you do well according to your goals/expectations? 

I learned about sports in Brazil.


• What specifically do you need to improve on? (Quote specific things you said or did and what you would have done or said if you could do it again) 

I wish I could have continued the conversation for longer and get more information.

Spanish Post

In this conversation me and Estafan talked about football, we argued because he said that he liked the Chargers and that said the Eagles sucked.  He told me that he likes Calvin Johnson and Antonio Gates and they are two of his favorite players.  He said that the eagles were crazy and that they were worst then the Chargers.

Post #5

My final blog post dealt with governmental issues in a large countries. I spoke with a girl from Brazil. She told me that the problems are universal and that the government tries to control it but something it doesn't work. I realized that the stereotypes for Spanish speaking countries are not contained in only Spanish countries but it's a worldwide problem that some countries have found a way to handle and some haven't. My partner this week talked about the president trying to handle the problems but not having much control. There was more to our conversation but it did not save.

How to save Bell Pepper Seeds

Bell peppers are probably one of the easiest vegetables to collect seeds from. Mainly for the fact that all their seeds are found on the core of the pepper, and the process of removing them is really simple. You first cut the pepper but try to avoid the core, basically cut around the core, that way it’s easy to remove the core and seeds. Once you cut the pepper, you remove the core. Once the core is removed, you then take a knife and carefully scrape the seeds off it. You then take the seeds and place them into a bowl and let it dry for about 3 days. You will know it is dry when you can snap them in half. Once they are dry you can just put them in a container and or envelope, label them, and BAM! You got yourself bell pepper seeds for the springtime. One of the cool parts about these seeds is you can actually store the seeds up to 3 years. So you have some time to plant them. 

"Collapse" of American Dream (animated)

"Collapse" of American Dream (animated). While this cartoon is highly biased in its approach, it does a good job of explaining the relationship between the FED (Federal Reserve Bank), the US Govt and the taxpayer. It approaches the age-old debate between regulation and deregulation, state vs federal authority, and private vs. public control of our markets. Lots of questions should follow.

La Cazuelas

On tuesday we had a luncheon from las cascuelas. It was really cool to see all the food . I really enjoyed the food and my favorite was the chicken with green sauce. I liked both of the drinks. The juice had an interesting taste and it was pretty different, from your average fruit punch. I really enjoyed the milk cake it tasted like rice pudding.

On Monday, we had a Mexican feast in Spanish class. It was very exiting! I enjoyed getting to try all sorts of new foods. Also, lo siento  for the lack of original pictures. They were taken on a friends phone, and this friend accidentally deleted them.

Las Cascuelas

On tuesday we had a luncheon from las cascuelas. I was really excited for it and at the time I was really hungry to. I really enjoyed the food and my favorite was the rice. I didn't taste the milk but I did taste the juice. The juice had an interesting taste and it was pretty different. I never tasted juice like that and I was surprised because I thought it was taste something like fruit punch. All in all I really enjoyed the food.

​On May 22, 2012, our spanish class have a luncheon on different foods. I am a very picky eater, I enjoy most of the foods but some i didn't. I was so curious on how the food might taste like but at the same time I was scare to try it because I'm not use to eating new foods.  Just from that day, I learn a lot about spanish foods. i found their style amazing and i love how they made the chicken. When I ate the chicken I though that I was in heaven maybe even dreaming. I love eating meat and the next thing that i know was that I went up for second for chicken and pork. It was a amazing experiment. I kinda regret not trying new things, hahaha.
