Wednesday, November 10, 2010

Today in class we went over the questions and answers that we were suppose to post on our blog for homework. There were a lot of good questions between all the kids in our class. There were some I didn't even think of. In addition a lot of terms I didn't know about coffee beans. In addition a dude came in to take pictures and Colby posed for it. Today was a fun class.

Monday, November 8, 2010

1. The ladies are picking up anything that's not suppose to be in with the beans and any bad beans.
2. It takes 42 beans to make one cup of coffee.
3. Fair trade coffee is coffee which is purchased directly from the growers for a higher price than standard coffee.
4. Brazil exports the most coffee.
5. The first step in the process of coffee making is picking up every cherry carefully. The picking of cherries has to be very precise because if the cherry is picked up to early it will lack of essential sweetness, but if the cherry is picked up to late it will be sour. The second step is the process in which they take out all the soft juicy fruit of the cherry and leave the coffee bean pealed. This is called “despulpado.” During this process the coffee is separated the by altitudes, and quality.

The next step to follow is fermentation, in this process they leave the coffee beans in long tanks for the coffee to release all the honey left from the pulp. The third step washing the coffee beans. During this process the beans are placed in large tanks filled with water pressure, which leaves the beans with no honey leftovers. It also separates the coffee beans by quality, the beans that float are the low quality beans and the ones that are in the bottom of the tank are the good quality beans.

During the drying process all the beans are arranged in a patio outdoors, the wind and the sun are in charge of drying the beans. The last step roasting the coffee, in this process is where the roaster will decide the taste of the batch of coffee being roasted. All these steps to follow are the steps coffee beans go through before consumers can actually drink it. It is important to have knowledge of things that are involved in our lives like coffee.

        The civil war that is going on in Sudan has killed more than 4 million southerners. The government that's in charge of Sudan are killing men , women , and even young children , no matter the age. The men in the government are raping women and girls. Most Southerners ran away to other southern cities like Juba. Some run away even further as Khartoum , Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Egypt, and other neighboring countries. These people weren't able to feed or make money for themselves on their long journey to a different city to get away from Sudan. They built refugee camps when they got to the city they were seeking to try to stay alive as long as they can.

        Today in class we watched how the Africans from Sudan like the United States. We watched how the Africans adapted to the United States. in addition the Africans talked about they eat with their hands to keep the tradition , how they miss their family back at home , and how after they make the money to pay back the government to come to United States , their going to send back money for their family. Also I watched the way the Africans tried new food and learned new things. Also I watched how people looked at them and I thought that was disrespectful. In the movie it was funny though , how the Africans acted compared to everyone else.

part 2

My parents are from this country. My parents have migrated from Baltimore City to Baltimore County. Me and my family lived in Towson.  I was born in Towson Maryland.  My mom and dad then moved to Randallstown to be closer to grandparents on both sides, and then we moved to Owings Mills.  We had lived in two places in Owings Mills because we had to wait for our new house that was being built to be finished in Harford County.  To me it was a long journey to Harford County; when we arrived in Harford County I was still going to a Baltimore County Public School because my parents did not want to pull me out during the middle of the school year. When I was transferred to a Harford County Public School it was different and I really had to adjust to the behavior and actions of the kids in my area and class. As my family and I adjusted we were very well known and had many friends. All my aunts and uncles lived and still live in Baltimore currently. One pair of my aunts and uncles that actually migrated from an area is my uncle Duane and my Aunt Jillian. They migrated to Baltimore with most of my family in 2002 from Arundel County.  My Aunt Jillian is from Jamaica.  Her whole family is from Jamaica, and she still calls and keeps in touch with them.  Only her mother and sister are in the United States.  My grandfather (pop pop Joe) was born and raised in Baltimore and lives there now. His wife, which is my grandmother (Me ma) lived in North Carolina when she was younger. When I talked to her last night she said “the adjustment from living in North Carolina and moving to Baltimore was a major transfer in her life , new school , new home , new people , a new life , basically a new everything!! Hahaaaa” also she said” North Carolina was free and not as cluttered at Baltimore was” My great grandmother Millie who is 87 that I  talked to today said “I can’t quite remember where your great aunt Teresa lived , but if I can jog my memory ; you know I’m getting old Darryn. But from what can I remember she lived in Trinidad. I think that’s in Venezuela. Hahaaa’ I’m still not sure I’m too old to be remembering these things Hun”.  As you can see the majority if not all of my family is in and from Baltimore County, my parents wanted to try and do something different so they moved to Harford County.

part one

            In less than eight years I will be done high school and in college. I would love to make it professional in either basketball or football. This change in my life to play any professional sport wouldn’t allow me to have one steady home in an area. The second thing I would love to do is become a lawyer or something that has to do with owning a business. One place I would love to settle or live in is Miami, Florida. Some pull factors of this place is the beautiful oceans, sun, palm trees, hotels, amusement parks, and resorts. In addition at the age I would be at I would love to party and Miami Florida, from what I heard is one of the most popular places for clubs and party’s. Some push factors for leaving and going to a different state is the dullness of this state and how boring it is. Another push factor is that the crime rate and irresponsible behavior by people in this state is dangerous, which makes me want to leave. Another place I would love to settle or live is Las Vegas, Nevada. If I lived in Las Vegas I would have a nice steady job, but the word going around about Las Vegas is that it is the city of lights. When I’m at the age I will be at I will love to party and I will enjoy examining and looking around Las Vegas. I will enjoy Las Vegas because of the person I am. Some pull factors of Las Vegas are the bright lights, the amazing acts/entertainment, the food, and the so many things to do. Some push factors away from Maryland are that nothing really goes on in Maryland besides the crime, and mostly I would just love to get away from my parents.

the third re-done paragraph of 9/11

There were many long term effects of 911.  After 9/11 the world had a lot of recovery to do.  The aviation industry really struggled because so many people were afraid to fly again.  There were several airlines that had to shut down and lay people off based on lack of people in the United States traveling.   People choose to drive to places versus getting on a plane.  A lot of resorts suffered as well because people were not taking vacations for fear of flying.  Also the aviation industry was mandated to improve their security system by implementing things to deter terrorist.  Now they make it harder for you to get on an airplane.  You have to go through a scanning process, and cannot take any liquids on the plane.  You know have to arrive to the airports at least 2 hours early to make it through security.  Another impact of 9/11 was the fact that there were a lot of children who were homeless and orphaned based on the Americans who were killed in this tragedy.  The Department of Social Services had to step in and assist a lot of children.  The government had to encourage more Americans to pitch in and help out based on this tragedy.  There was also billions of dollars that were spent on looking for the remains of people lost in the buildings.  Police Officers, fireman, National Guard, and tons of volunteers stepped in to assist.  In addition to looking for people New York and DC had to be rebuilt and money was spent on that as well.  Trading also ceased that day, and for many days to come.  Another long term effect was the war.  So many Americans went to war and lost their lives, and so much money was spent looking for terrorist.  Homeland Security also invested a lot of money in protecting the country’s borders and worked with Immigration to track down potential terrorist.  Trading is one of the ways that Americans make and exchange money.  The long term effects were so many.  The main one for me was the fear that was on the earth.  So many people were scared after that day.  That is all people talked about for a long time.  I do not think the world will ever be the same again.  When 9/11 comes every year it is still a scary time to remember.

We work 30 minutes from the trade center. My sister called me to tell me we had to find a way out of DC as buses trains subways were under heavy monitoring. She finally found a friend who was willing to take us but we had to hurry. As I was leaving I saw the faces of so many in disbelief more importantly in fear. Even with the confusion the city was very quiet, everyone sad. I kept thinking wow, how awful, and was thinking about changing jobs. For the next week no trains could get into DC, I called out the whole week. I feel badly for those we lost I also saw God work to pull people together to help one another, and a nation pull together to improve. After that there was even more pressure on our agency to fix broken processes. That day changed me, and those around me.

9/11 research paper

            Darryn Garner
Human geography


On the morning of 9/11 al-Qaeda terrorist hijacked 4 planes planning to destroy major Areas in the United States. This plan was successful. The terrorist crashed two planes into the twin    towers of the world trade center in New York. Nearly killing everyone in the building, but killing everyone on the planes. These two crashed planes almost destroyed almost the entire world Trade centers. Both the twin towers collapsed in about two hours. These two planes damaged other buildings besides the world Trade centers.  The third plane was the planned to crash into the pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. This plan was very well planned and successfully done. The fourth plane crashed into a field in the rural part of Pennsylvania, near Shanks Ville. This wasn’t what the hijackers had planned. The hijackers planned to hijack the plane and crash directly into somewhere in Washington D.C. The cause of this redirection of the plane was that the hijackers flew the plane to low near the ground and the people on the plane could contact their families and tell them what was going on. Two or three of the bigger men on the plane decided that they were going to try to take back control of the plane. This plan was almost successful, but it failed. Between all the planes that crashed into numerous places, plus the people on the plane, the hijackers that hijacked the plane, and the people in the buildings; the total amount of people that unfortunately died that day was about 2,996 people. The people that were on the plane including the hijackers there were no survivors out of all four planes. 9/11 was a disastrous day that killed almost 3,000 of are American people subtracting the nineteen hijackers.
