Cake in a cup

  1. Why did you choose to reflect on this lab?I like the idea of having cake in the cup thought it was going to be a great lab
  2. Did you enjoy the lab? Why or why not?I enjoyed making them it was probably the easiest lab cause you bake it in a microwave
  3. Did your product turn out the way you had hoped? If yes, what helped? If no, why did it not? It did taste as good as expected but it was still delicious I think it was a mistake in the batter
  4. Did you group work well together during the lab? Why or why not? (i.e. were there any issues that came up/how did you solve them?) we worked very well together
  5. If you were to do this lab again, what might you do differently? Why? Different flavour batter may have made it taste better

Carrot muffins

Why did you choose to reflect on this lab? I chose the carrot muffin to reflect on because they were easy and fun to make

Did you enjoy the lab? Why or why not? I enjoyed this lab because it was different from other muffins that I usually eat but it was very good. I don’t usually like carrot cake but the muffins were way better then I expected. 

Did your product turn out the way you had hoped? If yes, what helped? If no, why did it not? The muffins turned out preety good I don’t think we messed up but I feel like they could have been better

Did you group work well together during the lab? Why or why not? (i.e. were there any issues that came up/how did you solve them?) Are group worked great together

If you were to do this lab again, what might you do differently? Why? I would probably read the instructions a couple more times then try to make a better end product

Eating disorders

by terrells2015
  • What is the eating disorder?

Binge eating has been recently recognized as a eating disorder.

  • Who does it typically affect?

But it might be the most common eating disorders, especially in the US.

Binge eating disorder is usually found in children and early adulthood, but it can also develop later on.

  • What are some major recognizable features of the disorder?

Common symptoms of binge eating disorder are:

Eating large amounts of foods rapidly, in secret and until uncomfortably full, even though they are not feeling hungry.

Cannot control themselves during binge eating.

Feelings of emotions , such as shame, disgust or guilt, when thinking about their binge-eating behavior.

No use of purging habits, such as calorie restriction, vomiting, excessive exercise or laxative use, to compensate for the binging.

  • How does it affect the body?

People with binge eating disorder are often overweight or obese. This may increase their risk of medical complications linked to excess weight, such as heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes

  • What are the causes of it?

Biological: hormonal irregularities or genetic mutations, may be associated with compulsive eating and food addiction.

Psychological:  there is a link between depression and binge eating. Body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and difficulty coping with feelings can also contribute to binge eating disorder.

Social and Cultural: Social pressures to be thin, which are typically influenced through media, can trigger emotional eating. Persons subject to critical comments about their bodies or weight may be especially vulnerable to binge eating disorder.

  • How can it be treated?
Treatment of binge eating disorder is challenging, because people feel ashamed of their disorder.
counseling that focuses on changing your thinking  and behavior may help
Family support is very important to treatment success. It helps your family members understand your eating disorder and recognize its signs and symptoms so they can support you better.In group therapy, you can find support and openly discuss your feelings and concerns with others who share common experiences and problems.

SUMMARY:

People with binge eating disorder regularly and uncontrollably consume large amounts of food in short periods of time. Unlike people with other eating disorders, they do not purge.

Plot Point Photo Compilation

by terrells2015

The plot point photo project is based on the short story, “Father and Son” written by Bernard MacLaverty. In this project the reader will notice that the pictures are based on plot points from the story such as: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, denouement. In the story, “Father and Son,” the father is a coward that is afraid that, “the world is waiting round the corner to blow your head off” (MacLaverty 167). The son is a previous drug user that the dad, “had to go and collect … Like a dog” (MacLaverty 168). The son also goes out late with friends that the dad hasn’t ever seen before. Their relationship has a lot of miscommunication, tension and anger. The father cannot properly express his feelings towards his son. The son cannot properly share important details in his life with his father. As result of their miscommunication, they tend to get tense and explode in anger towards, other saying things they usually wouldn’t say.

The exposition starts with the father looking at the son, “this is my son who will let me down” (MacLaverty 165). As one can see his son does not like his father and the father knows that his son is not to fond of him. This shows that.  Their relationship is not positive and is a negative thing for the two of them. This is a possible exposition to the story cause it introduces the father and the son and, their unhealthy relationship

Rising Action starts when the father is talking about his dead wife, “my son is braking my heart. It’s already broken.is it my fault there is no women i th house? Is it my fault  good women should die?” (MacLaverty). One could think that because of this event both of them dealt with it in different ways and that it is one of the factors of their poor miscommunication. It could have separated them into to different paths.

The second part of the rising action is seeing that the son thinks his dad is a coward, “you’re a coward. You think the world is waiting around the corner to blow your head off” (MacLaverty 167). The father thinks that the son is only alive now because of him, “you are living on borrowed time. Your hand shook when you got home. I have given you the life you now have” (MacLaverty 167). This is a key part in the story cause it shows that they don’t really have it ll together. Their is possibly more hate then love in their relationship.

Father and son shouting

In the climax the dad says “i had to go collect you like a dog” (MacLaverty 168) because the son has done some bad stuff in the past; the father is worried that he will do it again. He also thought he was dead so, the son proceeds to say ” well im not dead.” (MacLaverty 168) then says “I have not touched the stuff since i came back” (MacLaverty 168). This shows that the son has struggled with dugs and has bigger problems then the reader thought he had . The dad is worried that it’s happening all over again.

In the falling action  the father goes to apologize and opens the door to find “the door swings open and he pushes a hand-gun beneath his pillow” (MacLaverty 169) the Dad is shocked and the son pushes the door shut. He goes on his knees and starts to pray.

in conclusion the son gets shot by someone he was talking to at the door, “there is a bang… my son is lying on the floor… blood is spilling from his nose” (MacLaverty 169) one may think this is the conclusion because the son has died so its sad but technically they would not be able to fight or talk to each other ever again.
