News and Media: Weather

The snow from yesterday gave brooklyn 7+ inches. This snow started falling very lightly at first and then started comig down in a higher rate. By sunday mourning you can the nice white layers of snow sitting outside. The drivings of cars have to be aware of black ice which is ice on the road that is a very slippery and thin layer that is not visible.

Mathematical concept: Rationalising the denominator

"Rationalising the denominator" is when you move a root (like a square root or cube root) from the bottom of a fraction to the top.

Multiply top and bottom by the square root of 2, because: √2 × √2 = 2

Note: It is ok to have an irrational number in the top (numerator) of a fraction

Tours

Walking Brooklyn: 30 Tours Exploring Historical Legacies Page 42-49 Boerum Hill & Cobble Hill




On my walk through Boerum Hill and Cobble Hill I saw churches, houses, apartment buildings, and gardens. Some of these things existed for over a hundred years. These things are historical because of its importance to the community and the change it caused the community.

An example of these churches are the Manhattan’s trinity church and a Episcopal church, and a Dutch reformed Church which was the home to Brooklyn’s oldest Jewish congregation. The garden is the Hoyt street garden which has existed since 1975. The apartment buildings was modeled after old tenements which went up in the 1870s. The Brooklyn inn was part of the prohibition but they was a speakeasy which means that they sold illegal alcohol. Today there are churches that has been there for many years and are still being used for religious activities. Houses such as brownstones are still up and being used.

On my walk through this neighborhood and reading the section in the book Walking Brooklyn: 30 Tours Exploring Historical Legacies I learned how neighborhoods are different and how they are alike. I also learned how neighborhoods have stayed the same over the years and how they have changed over the years.

Carroll Gardens & Gowanus



On my walk through Carol Gardens & Gowanus which is my neighborhood I saw a canal, parks, and bars. Some of these things existed for over a hundred years. These things are historical because of its importance to the community and the change it caused the community.

An example of the canal is the Gowanus canal. The Gowanus canal is a part of history because it created a man made water way to transport goods into the city and the borough of Brooklyn in 1889. The issue project room is used for music performances, poetry readings, and other art events in the 20th century. The park that is in this neighborhood is Carroll park that was designed as a city park in 1867 by Richard Butts. Two bars are the Canal Bar and P.J. Hanley bar. The Canal Bar was made in 2005 but may seem of a similar vintage. The P.J Hanley bar was sold in 2005 but owned by the Hanley family since 1958 and under their name since 1874.

On my walk through this neighborhood and reading the section in the book Walking Brooklyn: 30 Tours Exploring Historical Legacies I learned how neighborhoods are different and how they are alike. I also learned how neighborhoods have stayed the same over the years and how they have changed over the years.

There was still some players who where not total clear of all the plays but most likely knew what they had to do. The freshman team also had pratice but it was after ours. We scrimmaged the freshman team while running all our plays as a way to practice. Some kids played more than others because they played hard and did not mess up too much. The kids who messed up too much was pulled up the game to see and observe twhat they was doing wrong compared to what the person who came in for him is doing

Reflect me: The memoir of Ronald Lashley

Preface
This is a clutch basketball story. This summer I have been playing more basketball than before. I have hit many clutch three pointers in my age group and older age groups. In my age group, fourteen and under I hit a clutch three pointer to put us done by one point late in the fourth quarter even though it resulted into a lost by three points. In a higher age group sixteen and under I hit a clutch three to take a one point lead late in the fourth quarter. The game resulted into the game going into over time and later on into a win. During these two moments the emotions in the gym and outside on the court was palpable due to the tension of the game.
 
 
 
I am Me
I am Ronald Maurice Lashley, a child of Ronald Lashley and Gwendolyn Lawrence. I grew up mostly in Bedford-Stuyvesant Brooklyn, New York. I grew up in that area because of my elementary school P.S.305 which was a block away from my grandmother Janie Lawrence house. Even though I didn’t actually live there it was basically my home. The emotions in my grandmothers house was palpable no matter if people was talking or not. I am a person who may not be the toughest which makes it so I now how far I go with certain people. I am a person who listens to hip hop and R&B and who ever is making clairvoyant music.

May 20th


On May 20th it was my birthday. I had to go to school because it was a weekday and school is every important. On that day, being a kid I did not want to go to school to just do work all day and later go home and have to do homework. On that day my apartment was getting painted which really caused me to become upset. Every step me or my parents and sister took through the house you heard plastic with no walls to lean on. The one thing that was actually was a good thing was that I got a strawberry cheesecake which was my favorite. On this day I was able to realize that my birthday is more about becoming older and maturing through life and the anniversary of your birth.

Say Good Bye


I lost my innocence when I began to fight and talk back. As a child I felt much stronger being able to stand up for my self even if it was the wrong person or time. When talking back it was the wrong person when I did it to people such as teachers, my parents or any other adult figure. In school I began to lose my innocence when I reached about 3rd and 4th Grade. In school I began to lose my innocence when I became talkative and began to miss work such as homework. I began not doing homework because my parents weren’t sitting there with me when I did my homework to make sure that I did it. With homework since I became able to go outside by myself, I would sit there doing only some of my homework and say I was done so that I can go outside to make they rest of the day blithe. As a younger child my parents used to sit there with me as I did my homework and helped me with it. In class since I began to become talkative I became more conspicuous in class and I had incomplete class work because I would do more talking than working.

New York 4:37 Jay-Z The Blueprint 3 Hip-Hop/Rap 100 42


The New York Yankees are on the road to the world series. With one more game to win to actually making it they are going into the game hot. Alex Rodriguez is leading his team with all the energy in the world when it comes to scoring runs and hitting homeruns. He went 3 for 4 with an 2 run homerun off of pitcher Bulger in the 5th inning. Mark Texieria is having a hard time hitting the ball but he ended tonights game going 1 for 5. Even with his bat not being up to par he is til doing it with the glove. Saving errors by scooping throws in the dirt and stretching up and down to make catches. CC sabathia went 8 innings allowing only five hits and 1run a home run by Morales in the 5th inning. Sabathia's change-up was on point today. Johnny Damon also hit a 2 run homerun in the 8th inning off of Palmer.



The Yankees pulled out with the win with the score 10 to 1 against the Angels

The Yankees are now leading the series 3-1 only with one more game to win to be heading to the world series. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2009_10_20_nyamlb_anamlb_1&mode=gameday

Praise Poem

Praise Poem

5 ½ feet tall,

Where I wanna be.

My limit is beyond the sky,

Where you won’t see me.

I might have fast growing hair

With a limit you’ll see

But sooner or later you going to want to be where I am

Passing my classes like it’s lite

But I’m flying though with a whole new flight.

I’m black and I’m proud

So I want to see you try to reach my height.

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson has reached a lot of people in his life time. He reached people who is older than him such as grandparents and great-grand parents. He has also reached people way younger than him such as kids under 8. He has reached people who had never really knew who he was or what songs he made such as little babys. Now since Michael Jackson has pasted you can here lil kids sings his songs and doing some of his famous dances. Michael Jackson has beeen compared to other artists that sing and dance but nobody yet is as good as Michael Jackson. To me Michael Jackson is the best artist that can sing and dance while adding a little of his own flavor to it.

mount rushmore

Originally known to the Lakota Sioux as Six Grandfathers, the mountain was renamed after Charles E. Rushmore, a prominent New York lawyer, during an expedition in 1885.At first, the project of carving Rushmore was undertaken to increase tourism in the Black Hills region of South Dakota. After long negotiations involving a Congressional delegation and President Calvin Coolidge, the project received Congressional approval. The carving started in 1927, and ended in 1941 with some injuries and no fatalities.

Colorism

Stop Colorism

Colorism needs to be stopped in our world because of what it can do to a person in a negative way. We need to allure Americans to stop making others feel bad because of their skin color. Just because a person is lighter skinned than another doesn’t mean they should be alienated from another is aloof from social activities such as dancing, singing, and playing games.


Colorism and Me


I never really had any personal experience with Colorism. The first time I‘ve actually noticed Colorism and knew what it is in Summer Bridge English Class. After learning what Colorism was I begin to abhor it even though it was abstruse at first. I noticed Colorism in my life when one person tells the other that they are mad black. Some people compare others to colors such as yellow, red, white, black, tan, pink. Some people in the world have an affinity to light skin people because they are alluring to them.

What is Colorism?



Colorism is a form of discrimination in which human beings are afforded different social treatment based on skin color. Colorism usually refers to when lighter skin tones are preferred and darker skin is considered less desirable or vice versa. The aftermath of lighter skin tones being more preferred than darker skin tones is that darker skin people to be aloof and can cause altercations between lighter skinned and darker skinned people. Colorism has been going on around the world for hundreds of years. Colorism started with whites enslaving African-Americans and making African-Americans think that long straight hair and lighter skin tones was more alluring than nappy hair and darker skin tones. Colorism is changing in the world and is making people feel alienated which is destroying social treatment because of skin color.
