Description: I plan to explore the possibilities with flash.  I plan to learn the basic and intermediate skills of flash. To learn these skills I will follow tutorials on the internet. Through my work I plan to learn more about: everything about flash, I am unable to narrow it down because I know nothing about flash at this time.

Time Line:

Do tutorials 1-10 on flash.com

Resources:

Adobe Flash Cs4

Article: Wind Farms.

Wind farms are important in today’s world to help reverse climate change. Wind farms are springing up all over the world from Denmark to South Africa.  The problem is that wind farms kill at least 7,000 birds a year.  To help decrease this number, wind farms are starting to use radar to find large bird populations than if the birds are flying towards the wind turbines,  the wind turbines will shut down.  Many people dislike wind turbines because of there destruction on wild life, so this will help create a solution so both sides can benefit.   Another solution to this problem is to set off shotguns or other loud devices when birds come close.

Fab: factory that makes computer chips.

Bunny suit: suit to protect the chips from human contact.

Microprocessors: Are made from layers of chemicals.

Moore law: the amount of transistors will double every 2 years.

Byte: 8 bits.

nibble: 4 bits.

Silicon: made from sand and is the main material in computer chips.

A spec of dust can destroy a chip.

A fab is 20 times cleaner than a hospital surgery room.

It takes 2-4 months to make a chip.

ROM: doesn’t delete when turned off.

RAM: is for running programs and you loose your stuff when you turn off your computer

Output: printer, screen.

Input: keyboard, mouse.

processors get really hot so they need their own fan.

The computer runs on codes made up of 1′s and 0′s.

It runs on 1′s and 0′s because 1 means a switch is turned on and a 0 means a switch is turned off making it really easy to go fast.

The code has to be very detailed because the computer will only do what you say.

Switches in the processor are turned on with electricity and as one turns on it turns on multiple different ones.

CDM: Command prompt, you can give your computer codes for actions using this.

Aperture: A hole.

Exposure: relationship between light and time.

Shutter: controls time of exposure.

Stop: measurement of aperture and shutter.

ISO: organization that determines film sensitivity.

Depth of field: The area in front and behind the object that is in focus.

Focal length: The amount of information in the image.

Wide: short focal length

Normal: normal focal length

Telephoto: long focal length

Field of view: the degree or angle of what you are seeing.

After consulting with teachers from my school and from visitors from my websites, I have come to the conclusion that my project was a success.   The main point of my project was to inform people about healthy habits and to be able to offer this information to a large audience.   I successfully informed people about healthy habits, this is seen by comments on my website from people saying stuff like, “These tips are really helpful, I didn’t know drinking water could help you loose weight”. Also when I presented this project in front of a panel of teachers they were also impressed with the health information.  The project is available to a wide audience because it is a website.  In the united states, my website received 166 unique visitors.  These visitors came from 14 different states. This website also had visitors from, Germany, Norway, New Zealand, Canada, and England. So not only did my website make an impact on the United States but also the world.  It is important that many people see my project because it has a lot of good information about loosing weight. In today’s society obesity is becoming a huge problem, it can cause diabetes and heart disease so this website has a real affect in today’s society.

Questions:

Tester: Ian Li

Date: 03-19-2010

Ian Li is a qualified tester for my project because he is a good student, he was accepted to University of Chicago so it would be right to assume he takes work seriously.  Which is important when answering questions on how to improve something.

How can the health page be improved?

Ian Li: Well it is kinda short so more information would be nice. I personally would like to know how much of each nutrients my body needs.

Before:

After:

How can the physical activity page be improved?

Ian Li: I think the page is perfect because if there is to much information people probably won’t want to read it.
