Slide 1: My name is Rymir Vaughn and this is my Media Design Ignite presentation. I'm going to talk about my projects from this year as well as some tips.

Slide 2: My Q1 project was the website. I didn't have a lot of trouble, but I did have a problem with the site builder and I ended up switching from Wix to Weebly. To make it better I added pictures

Slide 3: The pictures made it more visually appealing and easier to look at. I didn't just do this for the grade, but for future applications. I'm hoping to stand out by submitting a website instead of a normal resume.

Slide 4: My project was successful because I think I got my point across and uploaded my best projects over the past couple years. My grade was also decent and I might keep adding to it.

Slide 5: My quarter 2 project was the computer science project, I enhanced the knowledge I already had of coding. At end I needed to apply my knowledge and complete an activity. I made a screen cast of that activity

Slide 6: My goal was to get better at coding. I learned more about coding and different ways to make it easier and faster. Especially, since I've done some before, but not a lot

Slide 7: It was a king of a success. In the video there were noises in the background and I didn't like that, but besides that it was good. Also during the coding I ran into a lot of problems

Slide 8: My quarter three project started off as an advanced coding project that we would be entered in the TEC COM, but it didn't work out, so I ended up just making edits to the project we were going to make the edits to.

Slide 9: The goal was to not only make it better, but have it correspond with a light system that'll tell you if it wrong or not.

just changing the game site.

Slide 10: It wasn't a success in my eyes because of the fact that we didn't go through with it completely. We ended up scraping it and really just making changes to the game site.

Slide 11: The project I decided to revise was my quarter 3 project. All I did was change the colors so it looked better. It looks more visually appealing now with more consistency and has a color scheme.

Slide 12: Cyrus shared the code with me and all I did was change the color scheme of the level.

Slide 13: As you can see the color scheme wasn’t bad, but I wanted to change it and make it better. So, I changed the colors from blue and yellow to blue and silver/grey.

Slide 14: I would have to say quarter 2’s project was the height for me. I learned a lot from the computer science project and I enhanced my skills as a coder and programmer.

Slide 15:Something I could have improved in is getting my checkpoints in on time because that killed my grade last quarter.

Slide 16: I could use the computer science. I say this because I could possibly enter a career in electrical engineering. So this could help me possibly later in life.

Slide 17: I would have liked to do image editing. There were just other things that I wanted to do that I was more interested in. I probably would've done it for Q4 if this wasn't the project we had to do.

Slide 18: I would say that the first thing is submit your assignments on time. My grade took a hit because of not submitting the assignment at all. So, if you want a good grade submit.

Slide 19: Don't be afraid to ask question. If you don't get something ask. This could also help in other classes.

Slide 20: If you do something you like doing you'll actually do it. Like if you do image editing, edit an image you like or make it like something you like. You're grade will reflect it.

1. How does the nitrogen cycle naturally?

Goes from the atmosphere → to the nitrogen-fixing bacteria in soil or nodules in plants → turns into ammonium → that either turns into nitrifying bacteria (nitrites; nitrates) or straight to plants → consumed by animals or turns into denitrifying bacteria → back into the atmosphere or goes to decomposers or secondary consumers → turns back into ammonium

2. What are the sources of the nitrogen?

Natural sources of nitrogen include the atmosphere, instream sources (e.g. salmon carcasses and litter fall), and vegetation (e.g. from N-fixing plants). Also be produced by natural biogeochemical processes that occur in watersheds, rivers and streams, such as the decomposition of plants and organisms.

3. What are the sinks of the nitrogen?

destruction in the stratosphere

4. How does the food system affect the cycle of the nitrogen? What impact does that have on our ecosystem?

Primary consumers take in the nitrogen that has been distributed to the producers and the nitrogen that the primary consumers took in is either passed to the secondary consumers that eat them or to decomposers after they die. It keeps the nitrogen flowing constantly because every organism dies eventually, so that nitrogen that was originally consumed by the primary consumers will eventually return to the place that it got the nitrogen from

5. What role does nitrogen play in the food system? How is the nitrogen used and transformed in the food system?

Without nitrogen, producers, such as legumes, wouldn't be able to help the soil they're in gain the benefits from photosynthesis. Nitrogen plays a big part in photosynthesis because the nitrogen-fixing bacteria inside soil goes hand in hand with plant. If the nitrogen didn't exist or were in small amounts the bacteria wouldn't benefit from it and the plant wouldn't be as healthy as it would with the nitrogen.

6. How does the ecosystem respond to the changes caused by the cycle of the nitrogen?

Plants become healthier because nitrogen is a limiting nutrient.

7. What changes need to be made to maintain the health of our ecosystem with regards to your specific matter?

Reflection

The person who I chose to do is my dad. The thing that makes this project so emotional for me is that my dad passed away not too long ago, September 24 of this year in fact. I chose to do my dad because he was one of the most important people in my life, if not the most important. He was the closest person to me by far I don’t know of anyone who was like him, and it hurt me so much when I found out that it happened, and what made it even worse was that he was on his way down to see me and my sister when it happened. I will forever regret not saying “I love you” before he left the day before. He wasn’t really perfect I think the reason that he died was that he wasn’t perfect, but he was the perfect dad. He did everything that he should have did as a dad. I never really knew anything about his personal life, but I didn't really care about that. I know he didn't have a real career, but he always had a job. For as long as I can remember he had a job that provided for me and my family. He was also one of the toughest people I knew. My dad would put his life on the line to protect me and my family. I really looked up to him for that. No matter what anyone says I think that my dad was perfect, sure he had his flaws, but who doesn't. I’m always going to love him and miss him very much.

My dad meant everything to me. He was the one who taught me what I know today. I have nothing against my mom, but I feel like my dad was just a more dominant figure in my life. He’s the -reason why I am such a big sports fan. From an early age he exposed me to sports, mainly football. One of the main reasons why I’m a diehard Eagles fan was him. Whoever took my dad away from me took everything away from me. He was the only one who understood me and I was the only one who understood him. Sure he got on my nerves, but he was my dad, so I really didn't care because I loved him so much. I know that I said that he means everything to me, but he meant more than everything to me, if that is even possible.

I decided to create my sugar skull in remembrance of my dad because it was so recent, referring to his death. He was such an inspiration on my life. Most of the things that I do revolve around him. Like he taught me different things that a female couldn’t teach. There was nothing that I couldn’t tell my dad. I regret not talking to him more than I did. I can't even tell him the things that I wanted to tell him as I got older. Before this abrupt end to my dad’s life, I was going to talk to him more than I did. He was always at my house although he didn't live with me. This gave me the satisfaction of having my dad around more than other people whose parents are separated. Overall the main reason why I decided to make my sugar skull in remembrance of my dad because of how recent his death was, how big of an inspiration he was, and to get over all of the regrets that I have.

My sugar skull represents my father because the colors on the skull are the colors of our favorite football team, the Philadelphia Eagles. My dad and I were diehard Eagles’ fans. He would always come to my house and watch the games with me, sometimes spending the night if it was a very late game. There has been countless times where me and him would watch the games that come on throughout the day just to see the Eagles play. I grew up watching the Eagles and he was the main reason for that. There is also a little blue patch that is on the side of the skull. I only did this because there wasn’t any more black paint, but it does relate to my dad. His favorite color was blue, so I decided to use the blue paint to fill the rest of my sugar skull. The blue is too light though, his favorite color is like a navy blue color. My dad really wasn’t the person to go over and beyond with things, so that’s the reason my skull is so plain. If it was up to him he would have left the skull all white and not had did anything to it. If it wasn’t required to decorate it I probably wouldn’t have done anything because that's how he would have wanted it. I decorated my mask the same way with the same colors. My dad probably would have just colored it blue and left it at that.

“Dia de los Muertos” opened up my eyes to celebrating the life of a pasted one by having me realize that you shouldn’t mourn the death of people, but celebrate it. Really I already knew that I should do this. At his funeral I actually said that. While everyone else was crying all I could do was smile, not only to keep from crying, but to show that we should be celebrating his death. I’m extremely hurt and sadden by this, but to this day I haven’t cried, well at least not yet. I don’t think I’ll do everything that is usually done on “Dia de los Muertos”, I don't know if I’ll do it at all, but I definitely know that I’m not going to mourn the loss of my dad, but celebrate it.

Abstract

In this interview Clifton Mabry, a 68 year old man from High Point, North Carolina, reflects on his life and important events that happened in his life during the 60’s. He also touches on some of the events from the Civil Rights Movement and how it affected his life in mostly positive ways. This interview doesn’t really touch on key components of the Civil Rights Movements because it is told from the point of view of Northerner, but it does get into significant events that occurred.

Research

Emmett Till was brought up in this interview. Emmett Till was a fourteen year old boy that was murdered and tortured for flirting with a white woman. His accused killers were put on trail, but were acquitted by an all white male jury. His death sent shockwaves and opened eyes across the world because he was nothing, but a child who was ignorant to the fact that behaving the way he did would be problematic. Mentioned previously, his accused killers did eventually admit to killing Till, but were never put on for retrial.

Something else that was mentioned in the interview was the riots on Columbia Avenue. These riots began when two Philadelphia police officers responded to a domestic dispute at 22nd and Columbia. The dispute ended up drawing a crowd that attacked the police officers with bricks and various forms of debris, but the officers didn’t get attacked because of their efforts to stop the dispute, but because of rumors and misleading information. The misleading information was that a white police officer beat a pregnant black woman to death. Looters took over stores, crime rates skyrocketed, and business were lost or destroyed. Once the riots were over and North Philadelphia was restored the long lasting effects of the riots began to take place.

The murders of two white males and a black male was another thing mentioned in the interview. The three men killed were Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman, and James Chaney. These three men were on there way back from a trip to Philadelphia. While on their way back deputy sheriff/KKK member Cecil Price pulled the trio over for speeding. He held the men in custody while the rest of the Klan set up for the murder. Once the Klan finished they were let go. Later down the road the trio was closed in by two Klan cars and the three were shot in their heads and put into hand made graves.
