Reflection on Roller Coaster Project

My project was a humungous failure. There are many reasons why. One of them is because I had very poor supports. I also used too much tape instead of paper. I also kept messing around when it was work time. I talked way too much during the process. Finally I didn't try very hard. I didn't like this project very much so I didn't try my best.

CHROMVILLE

Last term we used the app Chromville in Computer Apps class. It is a very simple app. You just have to print the pages, colour and then point the tablet on the coloured page, it is very simple and amazing! We had a very good time. This experience is based on augmented reality. Here you have the results.It magic! 

Talking Horses

Hands up everyone who was cheering for Wishfull Thinking in the closing stages of Sunday’s Old Roan Chase. The game old chestnut, rising 13, put up a tremendous performance under top weight, getting to within half a length of a horse five years younger than him.

It is four and a half years since the day I was first really taken with Wishfull, when he made almost all to land a big-field novice handicap chase at the Punchestown festival. He had top weight that day, too, and nothing else shouldered more than 10st 4lb.

Standing next to him in the winner’s enclosure, there was no mistaking the effort it had cost him as the mud-spattered chaser drew in great lungfuls of air. There must have been a few physical issues along the way but he continues to show bravery on the racecourse at an age when many others find a way to quietly drop themselves out of contentionPresumably this is his last season and I rather fear his winning days may be behind him because that was a big chance at Aintree at the weekend and he may even be raised a few pounds for what he did. I’ll miss him when he’s gone. He was never anything like the very best but it seems to me that, for resilience and reliability, he was close to being the ideal steeplechaser. More owners would stay in the game if there were a few more Wishfull Thinkings knocking around.

I don’t suppose we will see any such thing at Ayr today but I have hopes for the chasing career of Un Noble (3.55), available at 4-1 for a novice handicap chase as he makes his fences debut. He took a big step forward on his handicap debut in March when scoring over hurdles at Newcastle, which was also his first try at this distance.

I’m inclined to forgive him his flop at Market Rasen the following month, his second run back after a lengthy absence when stepped up to three miles. I think he still has plenty in hand on his current mark and first time over fences on this return from a summer’s break may be a good time to catch him.

In the previous race, 15-8 is fair about the chance of Monbeg River (3.20) building on the dramatically improved form he showed on his chasing debut at Perth last month. His most obvious rival, Throthethatch, has become a non-runner.

Spreadsheet reflection

Making the spreadsheet was fun and easy. I use spreadsheets when im in this class. professionals use spreadsheets when finding score averages. I could easily show someone how to create a spreadsheet.

The car project could've been a lot better than it was. We had too much tape and not enough team work. We could've used the glue more wisely and not fix everything with tape. Other than that really I think we did an excellent job on our project, besides the presentation.

Paper Bridge Challenge Reflection

                  My bridge was very strong. It held a lot of weight. There was still things that needed to be changed. One of them was the arch. The arch could have been less narrow and the top of it could've been more flat. Also the bridge could've had straight paper instead of the curved and glued paper. Either way our bridge was still great.

                  The building process went pretty good as far as I'm concerned. Mine and Hogan's group work was not the best it could be but it was great. We got the project done, it worked, we got a pretty good score, and I think we did okay. Hogan helped with some supplies and I helped too. Like I said before we did a good job. Hogan I give thanks to you for being a great partner. I also thank you for you wonderful help.
