States of Matter In Coach McFall’s IPC lab, students are learning about the different states of matter.By doing this lab they have ice in a beaker and a hot plate. Kiehl and Karli watch carefully for the ice to start melting and boiling.  “Basically,watching the ice start to melt and boil was my favorite part of the experiment”.

 COOL,CALM, AND COLLECTEOn a rainy Saturday on the 24th, the White Oak Band get to go around and hang out. Two best friends go around walking and talking to different bands. They made a lot of new friends but the four that spent most time with them will always be in their hearts. Freshman Kaylee Johnson and sophomore Zoe lambert adored meeting new people especially Chez, Cody, Zack, and Rain from New Boston’s band.  “I loved getting to meet new people,make new friends, and make memories.”

ICE AGE after a hard practice the cross country team cools down with a freezing ice bath to help relax muscles. Coach Hutchins has buckets of ice to throw in the pool “ I don’t think it’s fun to pour ice, but someone has to put the ice in the pool. the part I think is ironic is how much they whine and complain about the process yet the ask when and if we are doing an ice bath.

 

Photography defintions

pixels –  a minute area of illumination on a display screen, one of many from which an image is composed

Image resolutionis the detail an image holds.

Megabyte-a unit of information equal to 220 bytes or, loosely, one million bytes.

Megapixel-a unit of graphic resolution equivalent to one million or (strictly) 1,048,576 (220) pixels.

Gigabyte- a unit of computer information equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes

jpeg- a type of computer file used for storing images; also : an image that is stored as this type of file

Bitmap-a representation in which each item corresponds to one or more bits of information, especially the information used to control the display of a computer screen.

Exposure-the amount of light per unit area

Tiff-a computer file format for storing raster graphics images, popular among graphic artists, the publishing industry, and both amateur and professional photographers in general. The format was originally created by the company Aldus for use in desktop publishing.      

Png- a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression.

White balance- the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo.

Histogram- A diagram consisting of rectangles whose area is proportional to the frequency of a variable and whose width is equal to the class interval.

Aperture- A device that controls the amount of light admitted through an opening. In photography and digital photography, aperture is the unit of measurement that defines the size of the opening in the lens that can be adjusted to control the amount of light reaching the film or digital sensor.

Shutter speed-exposure time is the length of time when the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light, also when a camera’s shutter is open when taking a photograph.

Depth of field-focus range or effective focus range, is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image

Aperture priority-on a camera mode dial, is a setting on some cameras that allows the user to choose a specific aperture value while the camera selects a shutter speed to match, thereby ensuring proper exposure.

Shutter priority-a setting on some cameras that allows the user to choose a specific shutter speed while the camera adjusts the aperture to ensure correct exposure.

Bitmap- A representation in which each item corresponds to one or more bits of information. The information is used  to control the display on a computer screen.

Exposure-a tool to create beautiful photo narratives

Watermarking- originally faint imprints on paper that could only be seen at a specific angle. This process was designed to prevent counterfeiting and is still used today.

optical zoom-on a digital camera, optical zoom is a true zoom feature. It allows you to zoom in (or out) on the subject in the LCD or viewfinder. This will enable you to get a closer view of the subject before taking your picture.

Digital zoom- Digital zoom is a method of decreasing the apparent angle of view of a digital photographic or video image. Digital zoom is usually accomplished by scaling portion of the image data (usually center) to have same aspect ratio as well as pixel dimensions compared to the original image.

Bracketing-  the general technique of taking several shots of the same subject using different camera settings

Light meter-An instrument for measuring the intensity of light, used chiefly when showing the correct exposure in photography.

Image stabilization-  a family of techniques used to reduce blurring associated with the motion of a camera or other imaging device during exposure.

Noise- a sound, especially one that is loud or unpleasant or that causes disturbance

Lag time- the period of time between two closely related events, phenomena, etc., as between stimulus and response or between cause and effect: a time-lag between the declaration of war and full war production. Origin of time-lag Expand

Hot shoe- A hot shoe is a mounting point on the top of a camera to attach a flash unit and other compatible accessories.

Fisheye being, having, or produced by a wide-angle photographic lens that has a highly curved protruding front, that covers an angle of about 180 degrees, and that gives a circular image

Macro- short for macro lens

Telephoto-a lens with a longer focal length than standard, giving a narrow field of view and a magnified image.

Wide angle- In photography and cinematography, a wide-angle lens refers to a lens whose focal length is substantially smaller than the focal length of a normal lens for a given film plane.

DSLR- A digital single-lens reflex camera (also called a digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital camera combining the optics and the mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor, as opposed to photographic film.

Dynamic range-the range of acceptable or possible volumes of sound occurring in the course of a piece of music or a performance. The ratio of the largest to the smallest intensity of sound that can be reliably transmitted or reproduced by a particular sound system, measured in decibels.

Digital negative- open lossless raw image format written by Adobe used for digital photography

Exposure compensation- is a technique for adjusting the exposure indicated by a photographic exposure meter, in consideration of factors that may cause the indicated exposure to result in a less-than-optimal image.

Cell Phone Effect

5/13/15

Sitting in Mexican Restaurant,I had just ordered. While waiting for our food everyone’s on their phone texting,play a game, or just checking Instagram instead of talking to each other.Cell phones and other devices have distracted us from our real lives.Furthermore, electronics have caused anti-social behavior and distractions.
Always being on the web is the reason antisocial behavior has happened to this generation,texting is a big trend now so why actual talk,our vocabulary has been shortened thanks to abbreviated words in texting.For example,A family play a board game on family game night and everyone keeps checking their phone every minute to see if they have a tweet or a Facebook notification. Everyone these days are too busy with their phone and won’t talk to anyone when they go out.
When in school students are always on their phones listening to music,texting,or searching boy bands on google.We are distracted by our cell phones during the day.For example,a teenage texting maniac’s phone dies while she’s in her most boring class,being distracted by her thoughts “who’s texting me”.When our phones die is when we are most distracted,phones can distract us when they are on as well, always worried about who’s liking our pics on Instagram or snap chatting crazy weird photos.
Therefore, we need to put the electronics down and talk to people who are not on a computer screen and leave our phone in our backpacks turned off so we focus on what’s important “REAL LIFE”.

Music’s role in culture

Music’s role in culture

In the world of Oceana,everyone is apart of the machine,if someone steps out of line they’re sent to their worst nightmare “room 101”.Imagine our world without the joy of music,we would be slaves to Big Brother just like O’Brien forces Winston into the outer party.Therefore, music plays an important role in the culture today by bringing people together and connects with their emotions.
A world without music is like a world with out friends but when added music helps bind their hearts like glue.For example,a group of friends in a car listening to dead silence,until Carla puts on a catchy tune which makes everyone start cutting lose and singing.Music brings people together when they’re bored,upset,or just want to hang out with friends.In addition,while at a black veil brides concert,Zoe makes more friends and her dad helps her push through the crowd to the front of the pit,in which her dad had just as much fun as she did.Concerts can bring family and friends together can be and will be made at some of the concerts.
Just like music can bring people together music can just as well connect with their emotions.For example,a band nerd who plays the flute that loves music so much decides that she is gonna try to play rock songs on the wonderful high pitched instrument and now she is so passionate about playing any kind of music on her flute.Even band music can connect with peoples emotions just like music can save so many life’s from one song.In Addition,a teenage girl who is having a horrible day goes home and slams the door behind her,she puts on Scars by “saywecanfly” and slides down the wall crying as shes listening to the meaningful lyrics she decides to get up and brush it all off her shoulders.Music can save someone from making the wrong decisions and ending the pain that people cause them because the bands that write songs like that help so much more than people realizes.
Therefore,if music did not exist in this world everything would be pointless and dead like in the world of Osiona.

Poem

Ocean

You might think i’m just
a regular teenage girl
with red hair
and blue eyes
But I know I am more
way more than that
not a boring windmill
or a fragile flower
i’m like the ocean
ever changing
When i’m angry
or mournful
When I start to scream and cry
I am the waves that crash
plunging into sea
But when I am buoyant
my waves start to calm down
and go with the relaxed mood
The moonlight rippling across
the surface
I am serene as the
waters beneath me
The red haired, blue eyed girl
is the ocean
a plunging, calm ocean that lives in the moment
