Detroit post

 

Detroit ignoring the signs

Detroit’s manufacturing area and cultural was a great points to crate a very popular manufacturing state in the US after World War II. By the 1960′s, the union of the Big Businesses and Big Government’s took over Detroit and made it prosper. The main planners in the government needed to have powerful corporations, and so those powerful corporations came to rely on the government. This try of business deal worked out well for the politicians and corporations, But Detroit just started a decades-long reduction.
Why is General Motors walking away with billions while Detroit dies? It’s because of the profits that came with the governments deals.
The U.S. stood aside as Detroit slowly exhausted many of its people and jobs. While the politicians tried to spend as much money as they had while raise taxes. More taxes meant more money being spent and that all increased the rate at which the city fell. Detroit had its so called “Big Three” auto manufacturers. Up until two of its top manufactures, (General Motors and Chrysler) collapsed in 2008 under the careless management. But that  allowing the market to rebuild Detroit and its auto industry. The United States gave billions of dollars to General Motors and Chrysler to try and rebuild it.
But what is next for Detroit?
The city of Detroit is bankrupt and is almost $20 billion dollars in debt.
GM has a cash balance of over $20 billion, and owes the taxpayers over $10 billion dollars while they continues to benefit from an unknown $18 billion tax gift from the filed bankruptcy.

Blog post – Wellnesses (simplied verson)

Wellnesses by Romualdo Rosales 

 

Plans After High School

One of the many things I wish to do after high school would be to:

Go to mira costa college. (That would be nice)
Getting a job as a locksmith.
Owning my own home (either here in california or somewhere else in the united states.)

 

Emotional Wellness

Well to maintain this wellness i thought of trying some things like:
Tuning my piano at home (so I can continue playing music even after high school)
Getting premium in either spotify or youtube. (for dem beats!)
Just visit the school every once and awhile to see everyone else. (I have some friends that are going to be sophomores, juniors, and seniors)

 

Environmental Wellness
Well I not going to say that I’ve been putting as much effort as I can into keeping the streets clean… but I have been trying to keep my family recycling rather than them tossing out electronics when they could be recycled. I could do more be better! Like:
Recycling more in my house.
Going to use more recycled products

 

Financial Wellness
Well financially speaking… I’m more of a supporter than a provider because right now I’m working a seasonal job at the wave and that only lasts the summer, but my plans are:
Going to mira costa (major in business)
Learn the trade of locksmith
Become a great locksmith
Eventually run my own locksmith shop.

 

Intellectual Wellness
Well for my intellectual wellness I’m going to continue my education at mira costa while buying books to read every once and awhile. Also buying online books.

 

Physical Wellness
Either way I am in better shape than I was a year ago. (Probably because of me starting to work at the wave.) I’m planing to get a gym membership at one close to mira costa or in vista, but if that doesn’t work then I could just buy a dumbbell set along with a weight bench and work out at my house.

 

Spiritual Wellness
Well I just help others out to keep my inner piece balanced, but I want to try and help out even more by like helping out the band program after graduating because they helped me out with so much so I want to give back.

 

Social Wellness

I’ve been thinking of visiting the school along with some of the other graduating seniors, but lately I’ve been thinking about hanging out with some of my co-workers at the wave and some of the band members over the summer and following year.

 

Why Are Teenagers So Brand Conscious And The Pain of Paying Blog Post

Q: Why are teenagers so brand conscious?

I don't have a definite answer because everyone is different. One explanation would be to say that most teenagers want to be part of a high popularity group so they can feel better about themselves or make it seem like they belong rather being a social outcast. The professors in the video say one explanation would be that its because of a certain part of our brain being developed called the medial prefrontal cortex, that heavily influences the person's outlook on their own social standing.

 

The pain of paying is said to be worse when you are paying with cash instead of card because when you pay with card it's like you buy something then you pay later... or forget about it almost completely. While with cash you have to pay it immediately in person. Well me personally I dislike using my card because I can't really keep a good track on it like knowing how much I spent or how much is left after a long day, so it's easier to pay with cash because I can give myself a certain amount for the day. 

How to – Blog

One of the mainy activities that I like to do in my free time is playing videogames on my “Xbox 360 S”. (It’s just the slimmer model of the xbox 360.) In a scientific study by Mark Griffiths states, “that players show improved performance in perception, attention, and cognition.” I believe that it is true (to the most part) and could even improve people’s creativity playing games as Skyrim, Borderlands, Fallout 3, Assassin’s Creed, League of Legends, and Minecraft. But that is after the game console is on, what you need to do to enjoy these games is simply set up the console and playing it.

 

What you first want to do is safely take out your Xbox 360 S from its container. Then have the contents neatly in front of you so you won’t lose any parts. Now you should do is find an area that has both clear ventilation close to the television for your Xbox and should not be inside a closed area or someplace that will cause the Xbox to tip over because that will cause damage to the game disk. Now that your Xbox is in a secure place you want to have the the input cables with you to connect them to the Tv then to your Xbox. (depending on your Tv you might have to use a HDMI, AV cable, or a AV HD cable) After connecting the cables to your Xbox you should now plug in you power cord to an outlet. Then connect the end of the power cord to the back of the Xbox. After getting power into your Xbox you now have to connect the controllers, if you are using wired controllers then you will plug them into the bottom front face of the Xbox 360. If you are using wireless controllers then you will press the resync button under the disk tray along with the resync buttons on top of the controller. When you find the correct input for your Tv you are ready to play.

 

Step 1: Take out the Xbox out of its box and lay out all the components on front of you so you wouldn’t misplace anything.

 

Step 2: Place your Xbox in a secure location within cables length of your television.

 

Step 3: Find the output to your television either HDMI or color input. (depending on your Tv you might have to use a HDMI, AV cable, or a AV HD cable)

Step 4: Connect the input from your Tv to your Xbox’s backside.

Step 5: After connecting the inputs you should take out the power cord from its wrapping and plug it into a power outlet nearby the Xbox 360.

 

Step 6: Then connect the end of the power cord to the Xbox via back entrance.

 

Step 7: If you are using wired controllers then you will plug them into the bottom front face of the Xbox 360. If you are using wireless controllers then you will press the resync button under the disk tray along with the resync buttons on top of the controller.

 

Step 8: After finding the correct input for your Tv you are ready to play.

Reflection

Introduction

In my groups health fair project we did some research on the effects of Cerebral Palsy on the human race. During the research our group learned what Cerebral Palsy actually was and how to prevent it. Overall it was very informative learning about all the treatment options and how many people live full lives with this disability. Now I am aware of the effects that Cerebral Palsy on the human race, but it mostly affects babies and infants. A moderate explanation of it would be that Cerebral Palsy is a condition where the unborn baby has suffered brain damage before or after birth, it can also be developed if damage to the brain occurs in the child’s early years but it’s less likely.

 

Symptoms

Symptoms include stiff muscles and exaggerated reflexes, stiff muscles with normal reflexes, lack of muscle coordination, tremors or involuntary movements, slow, writhing movements, delays in speech development or difficulty speaking, difficulty with precise movements, such as picking up a pencil or fork, and seizures.

We can treat Cerebral Palsy with physical and speech therapy, and within time people with the disorder can a better lifestyle without such intense symptoms. There has also been research about how Marijuana can help lessen the symptoms of cerebral palsy which is, “the cannabinoids in the marijuana but not the THC which helps the brain combat the conditions of Cerebral Palsy”(herb.co) that helps lessen the symptoms of Cerebral Palsy. This disease has made me realize how lucky I am to have parents that took care of me and prevented me from hitting my head and possibly getting Cerebral Palsy. In my essay and writing about Cerebral Palsy was a good process because the partnership between Kevin and I went well. We worked very well together even though we might’ve slacked off a bit, but we got our act together and “pulled it off”. The most valuable part of this process was learning about how Cerebral Palsy works and how we can prevent it from occurring.

Graphic Organizer

Our Graphic Organizer was a great starting point for us because we did a lot of planning to see how we would split up the work. We first tried to figure out exactly what we wanted to learn about when it came to the topic of Cerebral Palsy because we found our topic very interesting. The overarching question we had was “How can Cerebral Palsy impact the Human race” which would really help us understand how Cerebral Palsy works. We then had our four questions that were for going into depth about the topic. Our four questions were “What is Cerebral Palsy?”, “What are the symptoms of Cerebral Palsy?”, “How can we prevent Cerebral Palsy?”, and “How can we treat Cerebral Palsy?”.

Brochure

Our Brochure for Cerebral Palsy was hard for us because we didn’t exactly know how to begin and what we should put on it. In time we finally figured out that our Brochure needs to have the symptoms, who it impacts, and how we treat it. This process was fast and easy once we figured out what we we’re going to do and how we we’re going to achieve this goal. Our Brochure will inform the audience about how Cerebral Palsy impacts infants and children since Cerebral Palsy has a huge impact on infants and children.

Research Paper

In our Research paper we had to take some time to figuring out the questions that we asked ourselves. We looked up a lot of sources on the internet to find out which ones were reliable and any substantial information we can add to our paper. We answered our essential question by describing how Cerebral Palsy impacts the human race. The paper took approximately 3 hours to write since we already had a lot of information and sources when approaching the paper. This was also because of the interest we had in the topic. The best part about writing the paper was ending it because we could finally be done with the project and look at all the hard work we put into our project.

I love it when I’m inside and there’s a storm raging outside.  The sound of the rain against the roof and the soft pitter-patter of the drops are  soothing and the air hits the window.

About me

My name is Romualdo R. and I am currently 17 years old attending vista high school. I live with my parents, brother and sister, along with our two dogs named charlie and jay. I was born during the summer of 99… and that’s about it… if I were to go on about what day I was born you will get bored then you’ll leave my site and not visit again. So moving on I’m currently in my senior year attending vista high school in the Personal learning program that is offer by the school. I would say that its really fun.

Music part 4

This is the First page.

Second page

I have found a copy of “The Tempest” from beethoven’s 17th Sonate on MuseScore and I’m going to try and learn to play the first page over the next week. Then try to learn the next page so I could play the melody that is played throughout the Sonate. This piece is normally played on piano but I would like to see if I can play it on one of the marimbas that VHS has in the band program because in the tempest there isn’t really and cords that require more that two notes at one time so I’ll try it when I learn the whole piece first.

Music part 3

Now that I have talked about the VHS band and what we do I’m going into detail on what I would like to learn. I myself like classical music that comes from composers such as beethoven and mozart so I will try to learn a piece of music from one of beethoven’s piano Sonatas, No. 17 the “Tempest”  I saw a movie called “Total  Recall” mv5bn2zimdmzywitndllzc00zmrmlwi1yzktm2m5m2zmzdg1ognlxkeyxkfqcgdeqxvyndq2mtmzoda-_v1_uy268_cr30182268_al_starring Colin Farrell as a factory worker, named “Douglas Quaid”, begins to suspect that he is a spy after visiting “Rekall” – a company that provides its clients with implanted fake memories of a life they would like to have led only it goes wrong and he finds himself on the run. As the movie continues Douglas is found at his original home before he was implanted with new memories to find a message that he left himself as a failsafe if he ever was captured by the enemy forces, and the way to get it was to play “The Tempest” on a piano that he had in that home. I really enjoyed watching him play that complex sonata in the way that the music moved almost as if it was alive trying to find that one thing it always wanted but was always out of reach.

Music part 2

In this blog post I will be talking about what music that I am currently working on in Vista High School.1473927351435 Over the last month the Vista high school band and pageantry corp. have been working on our show called “Romen Festival”. I really enjoy practicing it because of all the little complicated phrases that are constantly played throughout the show. And now we finally gotten the last movement that was needed for our show and are currently already learning how it fits into the other two movements. But as time goes on we are finding it easier to read and play than at the beginning when we first got the music even though we get rewrites of our show so it could flow better or is easier on the hands. And this week (October 31 to the November 5) we will have a tournament in Ramona High School to see if we can get first place in our division (we are currently a 5A band) that’s Listed in the order of 1A to 6A bands.
