...Garden Tomatoes Observation is the first stage in understanding the problem you have chosen. After you decide on your area of science and the specific question you want to ask, you will need to research everything that you can find about the problem. You can collect information on your science fair topic from your own experiences, books, the internet, or even smaller "unofficial" experiments. This initial research should play a big part in the science fair idea that you finally choose. I enjoy gardening, and I noticed that some tomatoes are bigger than others and I wonder why. I decide to learn more about what makes plants grow. In this stage of the experiment I decide to use as many sources as I can find. The more information I have on the scientific experiment, the better the design of my experiment is going to be. Hypothesis is the next stage of the Scientific Method is known as the "hypothesis." This word basically means "a possible solution to a problem, based on knowledge and research." The hypothesis is a simple statement that defines what you think the outcome of your experiment will be. All of the first stage of the Scientific Method -- the observation, or research stage -- is designed to help you express a problem in a single question ("Does the amount of sunlight in a garden affect tomato size?") and propose an answer to the question based on what you know. The experiment that you will design is done to test the hypothesis. Topic: Does the amount of sunlight...

...You landed the interview. Awesome! Now don't screw it up. I've interviewed thousands of people for jobs ranging from entry-level to executive. Easily three-fourths of the candidates made basic interviewing mistakes. Did I still hire some of them? Absolutely... but never count on your qualifications and experience to outweigh a bad interview. Here are eight practical ways to shine: Be likable. Obvious? And critical. Making a great first impression and establishing a real connection is everything. Smile, make eye contact, be enthusiastic, sit forward in your chair, use the interviewer's name.... Be yourself, but be the best version of yourself you possibly can. We all want to work with people we like and who like us. Use that basic fact to your advantage. Few candidates do. Never start the interview by saying you want the job. Why? Because you don't know yet. False commitment is, well, false. Instead... Ask questions about what really matters to you. (Here are five questions great job candidates ask.) Focus on making sure the job is a good fit: Who you will work with, who you will report to, the scope of responsibilities, etc. Interviews should always be two-way, and interviewers respond positively to people as eager as they are to find the right fit. Plus there's really no other way to know you want the job. And don't be afraid to ask several questions. As long as you don't take completely take over, the interviewer will enjoy and remember a nice change of pace. ...

...Imagine being treated like property and not a person. Imagine being bought and sold, forced to work, unable to marry, taken away from your loved ones, held against your will, beat or raped. Can you imagine? Starting in the early 1500s slavery took place in southern states. During the slavery period, African Americans were forced to do all of the above and more; no African American wanted to be a slave. “I have often sung to drown my sorrow, but seldom to express my happiness. Crying for joy, and singing for joy, were alike uncommon to me while in the jaws of slavery.” Slavery has always been a topic people believe as brutal, cruel, inhumane and horrible so when I went and seen the movie supposedly based on slavery; “Django Unchained” written by Quentin Tarantino, released on December 25, 2012, I was disappointed. The movie Django Unchained mocked slavery and tried to make a serious matter funny. Slavery was nothing closed to a joke, if any slave was asked to describe slavery, the last thing it would be described as is a joke. The movie takes place two years before the Civil War. Actor, Jamie Foxx played the main character, Django, in the movie. Django becomes a bounty hunter in the movie after he is recused by a German dentist/bounty hunter man named Schultz at the beginning of the movie. Django agrees to take the job offered as a bounty hunter because he can think of no better job than to kill white men for money. In the movie he says, “Kill white folks and they pay you...

...Rotten Tomatoes staff first collect online reviews from writers who are certified members of various writing guilds or film critic associations. To be accepted as a critic on the website, a critic's original reviews must garner a specific amount of "likes" from users. Those classified as "Top Critics" generally write for major newspapers. The staff determine for each review whether it is positive ("fresh", marked by a small icon of a red tomato) or negative ("rotten", marked by a small icon of a green splattered tomato). (Staff assessment is needed as some reviews are qualitative rather than numeric in ranking.) At the end of the year, they identify the film that was highest rated as receiving the annual "Golden Tomato."[citation needed] The website keeps track of all of the reviews counted for each film and the percentage of positive reviews is calculated. (Major, recently released films can attract up to 300 reviews. If the positive reviews make up 60% or more, the film is considered "fresh," in that a supermajority of the reviewers approve of the film. If the positive reviews are less than 60%, the film is considered "rotten". "Top Critics," such as Roger Ebert, Desson Thomson, Stephen Hunter, Owen Gleiberman, Lisa Schwarzbaum, Peter Travers, and Michael Philips are identified in a sub-listing that calculates their reviews separately. Their opinions are also included in the general rating. When there are sufficient reviews, the staff creates and posts a consensus statement...

...Juan Peralta Ms. Venon Ferard DRE 097 1/24/2017 Everyone’s Son The morning after Maudlin’s first N.F.L game, Lorenzo Maudlin IV woke up in a hospital. With very little memory, Maudlin did not remember the tackle that left him unconscious on the MetLife Stadium turf on September 13. His mother, Akima Lauderdale, an alcoholic with an affection for selling cocaine, has been in prison in Georgia. His Father, Lorenzo Maudlin III, served roughly 12 years in a California prison. Maudlin and his four siblings bounced between relatives and foster homes. Every day Maudlin coordinated and managed catastrophe. Searching for food and gripping taunts for wearing the same clothes. Being pulled out of class by officers because his mother, Lauderdale, had been arrested again, then forced into the care of the state. In college, Maudlin was rushed to the hospital after injuring himself at practice, and again after a vehicle hit him while riding his scooter. His position coach Maurice Hart from Maynard H. Jackson High School in Atlanta said “I’m telling you, that’s the toughest man I’ve ever met in my life.” After a brief time, Lauderdale was sent back to prison in 2014 for charges including aggravated assault and voluntary manslaughter. In his parents’ place, a network of advisors, coaches, and teachers surrounded him, creating a surrogate family. With their help, Maudlin despise expectations. According to a 2012 presentation, 15 percent of students in foster care nationwide earn a high school...

...December 12, 2014 Reflection Paper Com 111 “A widely bright red apple had accidently tumbled in, and was bobbing amongst a dozen green tomatoes.” At age twenty-two, Mark Hunter’s life changed for the better. This accident let him see life from a different perspective. As he sees it which one would you choose to be? Would you want to be the apple or the tomatoes? When he asks that question, he means would you rather be like everyone else or would you be that one individual who’s not like everyone else. I find his answer very interesting and also meaningful. I feel as if Mark Hunter is saying to be water is to the greatest thing because without water nothing or no one can survive. Water is the source of everything. If I had to choose to be the tomatoes, apple or water, I would go the other route and choose to be the apple. I would choose to be the apple simply because it is not a tomato. To be an apple surrounded by tomatoes goes to show that not everyone has to be the exact same way. Everyday there is someone who feels like the apple of the group. That could be a good or a bad thing. In my personal life it is both. I say both because as a child it was you were like everyone else or you were weird. I have never been the smallest or the cutest girl. In elementary and middle school I was bigger than most of my female classmates. And when I say bigger I mean my shoulders were broader and my hips were fuller. Basically I was already an athlete in training. A lot of the guys...

...“Most people don't grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging.”1 In the book “Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe” by Fannie Flagg, it is suggested that the idea that getting older is not a fun one is incorrect and that getting older is actually a luxury. An individual who is self conscious may have difficulty when confronted with aging, but if they adapt to and accept this concept they may gain confidence in it. This essay exhibits how a fearful housewife overcomes her doubt and gains control of her life. One of the main characters, Evelyn Couch is very self conscious and worried about what others think of her. She is worried about “getting so fat” that she starts to bring “carrot sticks and celery”(P. 217) instead of a treat to the nursing home she visits. Mrs. Couch consciously worries and seeks help for herself. She thinks that the “world has become a different place”(P. 40) that she can no longer recognize. Evelyn thinks she will always be the same while everything around her changes, she does not want to be who she is. Mrs. Couch gets ridiculed, living her nightmare of “being called names,”(P. 236) by an aggressive teenager’s abuse at a mini-mart. She cares about what others think of her and does not want to be seen in a demeaning manner....

There will be 3 groups of five. Step 3: Add chemical fertilizer to 5 plants; cow dung to another 5 plants and leave one group of 5 alone. Step 4: Water plants with 60cc of water. Step 5: Place in a sunny area. Step 6: On Day 1, measure the height of each plant and record it. Do the same thing every day. Stop at Day 15. There will be 15 plants with measurements every day (5 plants in 3 groups). Step 7: At Day 15, see if the plants have tomatoes and compare taste. If no tomatoes have grown, buy tomatoes. Buy tomatoes grown in soil fertilizer-free, organic tomatoes grown in cow dung and tomatoes grown in chemical fertilizer. Step 8: Place 10-15 small tomatoes in different colored bowls and label them on the bottom so no one knows which they are tasting. Survey people to see which they think tastes better. Tally...

... “Don't Tread On Me” is a classic phrase which adorned the revolutionary fervor of Americans and their founding fathers, well known for its appearance on the Gadsden Flag. Consisting of a coiled rattlesnake and a bright yellow background with the statement written underneath, the flag was first adopted as the flag of the revolutionary navy and has southern roots. The snake, being a significant political symbol of unity due to the Albany Plan of Union, was additionally a symbol of nobility in South Carolina. Appropriately, he would attack only in self defense and was always deadly, gaining the admiration of Christopher Gadsden and a nod from the Continental Congress. Gadsden was a notable individual of the south then, and today an admiral of Libertarianism, his designed flag adopted by the modern Tea Party. E. Stanly Godbold and Robert H. Woody's biography of Christopher Gadsden explains his upbringing and significance in revolutionary American politics, admitting him to be a radical. Gadsden was born on February 26, 1724 in Charleston, South Carolina, to Thomas Gadsden and an indentured servant's daughter named Elizabeth. The cultural standards in the south at the time demanded that sons emulate their fathers, leaving Christopher to become a successful wealthy merchant long after his father's death with a comfortable life. Gadsden's early political education was reflective of what would soon become the arguments for revolution in the south: the tenets of the English Whigs and...

...available 100,000 lbs of grade A tomatoes? (use the sensitivity report from question 2). If so, (a) how much should we buy? (b) How will the additional tomatoes be used? In order to figure out if we should buy and by how much we should purchase, we made some modifications associated with our model. First of all, we need to add one more decision variable, Additional A, which is the amount of extra grade A tomatoes we decide to purchase. Then we need to change the profit formula to subtract additional purchase cost, which is $0.15*Additional A, the deal Gordon had to purchase up to 100,000 lbs. grade A tomatoes. Also, we need to change the constraint for A grade tomatoes from 600,000 lbs. to (600,000+Additional A) lbs. The last step is to add another constraint to make the decision variable Additional A can be no more than 100,000 lbs. When we ran sensitivity analysis, the shadow price for grade A tomatoes is $0.27, which means when the company increases 1 lb. of grade A tomatoes available in production process, the total profit will increase by $0.27. So as long as the purchase price less than the shadow price, company should purchase extra grade A tomatoes. Moreover, the allowable increase for constraint of amount of grade A tomatoes available is 1,400,000. It means any amount of additional grade A tomatoes under 1,400,000 lbs. will be feasible to purchase to increase profit. Thus it is a good idea to purchase whole 100,000 lbs. grade A tomatoes with the cost of 15 cents and...

...have small kitchen gardens where you both grow tomatoes. His blotchy green and red tomatoes taste much sweeter than your perfectly uniform red ones. Could the sweetness of the tomatoes be effected by the green chloroplasts in the fruit? Hypothesis I personally think that the green chloroplasts do play a part in the sweetness of the tomatoes because it doesn’t state how ripe the tomatoes were when they were eaten, what type of soil was used to plant them and if the same type of tomato seeds were used. Controlled Experimental Method Scientists planted tomatoes and put a batch in sunlight and the others in full shade to find out how the tomatoes would grow and which ones would taste better. They found that the tomatoes in the shade, did not grow very well and did not taste good, whereas the tomatoes that had sunlight, grew to a standard size and had a sweeter taste. Results “The discoloration (ranging from a few millimeters to the top 1/3 of the fruit) is caused by a failure of green chloroplasts in tissue affected by YSD to develop into red chloroplasts. This modification is accompanied by a more random cell orientation and smaller cells relative to mature green fruit, these changes begin early in fruit development and cannot be reversed by delaying harvest.” (Tomatoes, 2015) Chloroplasts use sunlight and turns it into sugar in the fruit which means that the tomatoes that have more sunlight would be sweeter than the tomatoes that are not in as much sunlight. That process...

...deadly nightshade family, tomatoes were erroneously thought to be poisonous by Europeans who were suspicious of their bright, shiny fruit. Native versions were small, like cherry tomatoes, and most likely yellow rather than red. The tomato is native to western South America and Central America. Mesoamerica Aztecs and other peoples in Mesoamerica used the fruit in their cooking. The exact date of domestication is unknown: by 500 BC, it was already being cultivated in southern Mexico and probably other areas. The Pueblo people are thought to have believed that those who witnessed the ingestion of tomato seeds were blessed with powers of divination. The large, lumpy tomato, a mutation from a smoother, smaller fruit, originated in Mesoamerica, and may be the direct ancestor of some modern cultivated tomatoes. Unique varieties were developed over the next several hundred years for uses such as dried tomatoes, sauce tomatoes, pizza tomatoes, and tomatoes for long term storage. These varieties are usually known for their place of origin as much as by a variety name. For example, Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio is the "hanging tomato of Vesuvius". Five different varieties have traditionally been used to make these "hanging" tomatoes. They are Fiaschella, Lampadina, Patanara, Principe Borghese, and Re Umberto. Other tomatoes that originated in Italy include San Marzano, Borgo Cellano, Christopher Columbus, Costoluto Genovese, and Italian Pear. These tomatoes are characterized by relatively...
