Sons of zion

In music, my class and I have been working on our Nz musicians. We all got one person or group and had to do some research on them. The group I got were Sons of Zion. If you have not heard of them, check out my presentation below. I enjoyed doing this, and I consider listening to them.

Colin meads

1. Sketch a map of Nz. Mark and label Cambridge, the king country area, and Te kuiti.

2. Explain what values are. Name any values you share with Colin Meads

the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.

Rugby, His country.

3. Describe what the nickname Pinetree suggest and decide if it was a good one for Colin Meads.

Maybe too known as small today but strong

I think it was because he played as a lock or a loose forward, and  for how small he was and that’s a
big opportunity for him, and also he was strong

4. Discuss differences between the all black culture of the 1960s with that of today.

I think people that played back then were more committed like they were, and example is Colin  Meads
himself, He had broken his arm but he still played.

5. Explain how the ‘PGG Wrightson IHC Calf scheme works’  works.

It supports and raises funds for New Zealanders with Intellectual Disability, And also help farmers that
are seeking pledges of a calf or calves.

6.Web search: Find two other All Blacks and two other silver ferns (Present or past) who have contributed their community in some way.

Food labeling

Lactose Intolerance:

First fact -

1. Being lactose intolerant is different from being allergic to milk. Intolerance is the inability to digest the lactose sugar found in milk due to the lack of lactose enzyme, whereas the allergy is a reaction to the milk protein.

Second fact - 

1. People with lactose intolerance can still eat cheese! Foods like butter and natural cheeses contain a small amount of lactase, which can be tolerable for some.

Third fact - Lactose intolerance is usually caused by a deficiency of an enzyme in the body called lactase.

Then make a statement about why food labels are relevant for people that suffer from these allergies. What will they be looking for on labels?

Food labels on product are one of the top things people tend to look for, because they're searching to see if this product contains stuff they're allergic to. I think this is needed because it can help a person with allergies know that they should or should not buy this. Examples they will be looking for is, dairy, wheat, nuts, and more.

What is the Fair Trading Act?   How does it affect me?

A fair trading act is one of the laws in New Zealand.  Its purpose is to protect consumers -
which are customers - from misleading and deceptive behavior and also unfair trade. This might
include,  false representation, unfair practices and more. This effects us by protecting us from being
untreated fairly by traders or shops.

Questions

A fair trading act is one of the laws in New Zealand.  Its purpose is to protect consumers

- customers - from misleading and deceptive behavior and also unfair trade.

2.What is the commerce commission’s goal?

Their goal is to make New Zealanders better off. They will do this by playing their part in

   The government

           

3. Who are the two types of groups the act applies to?

Producers and Consumers

Understand your compliance obligations

1. What do the acts apply to?
Producers apply to stores or people selling goods or commodities. Consumers applies to who purchases goods or services for personal use.

2. Does it only apply if your intend to deceive? Explain.
Trying to deceive the producer because the consumer broke the product and tried to get a new one by saying they bought it broken, and want to get a refund.

3. Whose 'shoes' must the business put themselves into?
The business will need to put themselves into both, consumers and producers. For producers, they'll need to know how to do their job and help the customers, and for consumers they'll need to understand a customers problem, or situation their in.

4. What is the commission empowered to do?
They are able to give us - consumers - are right towards the producers if there is a problem with the product that they never told or warned us about, for example if you buy a phone from a owner online, and they never tell you that this phone is actually broken, you'll be able to make a complaint or get a refund for that product because of the help from the commission.

I consider using these film techniques!

Have you ever wondered if your whole life was a t.v show? Well in the film, The Truman Show, that thought became a reality for Truman. Directed by Peter Weir, this film had many film techniques, the two I will be discussing in my essay are diegetic and non-diegetic sounds.

The boat traveled across the sea, that seemed as if it was real. Truman got cozy. Just when the boat was getting closer to the wall, the shadow was expanding. "Boom, bang," these were one of the diegetic sounds that were used in The Truman Show film. If you have no idea what this techniques is all about, it's basically about sounds that looks like it's coming from the film, which it is. In many movies there are a lot of this one technique that has been used. A diegetic sound is used just like a normal sound effect, examples are, talking, footsteps, or even a car starting.

"Say something, God dammit you're on television" He asked loudly. Truman stared upwards and answered, "In case I don't see ya, Good afternoon, Good evening, and Goodnight." *Graceful music starts with fast pace* A tear came running down Sylvia's face while she cheered when Truman walked through the black door of freedom. *Music ends*. This Happened at the very end of the final scene, and the technique used in this scene was, non-diegetic sounds. It is indeed the opposite of the first techniques, which means, sounds like background music are all added in while editing. How it's used, is the music or sound will need to suit the reaction, emotion of the people in the scene, or even the moment.

To sum this all up, a diegetic sound are sound effects that happen during the scene. A non-diegetic sound is a sound that is added in while editing. In movies they use more than just these two techniques. They use different types of camera shots, camera angles, and camera movements. So, in order to make a movie you need to use a variety of different techniques. Will you consider using these techniques?

Making a product out of wool?!

In maths, my group and I had to come up with a product that uses crossbred wool, that will successfully sell to help it get sold more. We had enablers to help us make this product, the first one was lasers, so it could cut our product perfectly, the second one was, robots, to help sew and stitch our product faster. There is more information about it in this presentation below.


Reflection:
What I learnt?
I have learn't the process in making stuff or making a new product just to help sell one thing that isn't getting sold more than it should.

What I liked/Disliked?
I like our idea, but I didn't like the prototype as much, I also disliked presenting, because my groups vocabulary was a bit off.

Feedback - My feedback is to read the presentation before presenting.

Health & Safety

-------------------------------------------------------------

What is the difference to Hygiene and Personal safety?

- Hygiene is about keeping your food, equipment, and yourself clean

- Personal safety is about making sure your food is safe to eat, your holding knives correctly, etc.

How would you have demonstrated these two so far?

- Tying up your hair

- Washing your hands

- Wiping down your table

- Right temperature for food e.g chicken

- Use right chopping boards and knives, so you don't contaminate food

When we use chicken what are some key things you need to remember to ensure your food is safe to eat?

- Your temperature for your chicken is at 75 degrees

- Your chicken is white when cooked

-  You use the right copping board and knife. ( the yellow board and knife )

Bacteria

-------------------------------------------------------------

What is bacteria?

Bacteria is a single cell organism, that feeds off dirt warmth, etc.

What do bacteria need to survive?

- Food

- Warmth

- Neutral Ph levels

- Water

- Oxygen

- Time

- Temperature

Give 3 examples of how we avoid spreading bacteria?

- Keep your hands clean, wash your hands after you use toilet, before you cook, or when you sneeze or cough, etc.

- Avoid contact with other people

- Avoid touching your face, hair or body.

 At - 18 = freezer
 At 0 = freezing point
 At 2 - 4 = fridge
 At 37 = Optimal bacteria growth
 At 4 - 60 = Danger zone
 At 75 = middle of chicken
 At 80 = Reheating
 At 100 = boiling

It is very important to know these points, because it can tell you when bacteria is at it's dangerous zone, when its frozen, and when it doubling itself. bacteria is bad for us, as it can make you sick, so knowing when its gone or when the food is cooked, you wont get sick, and you will know these temperatures by this thermometer.
