Describe the glaze tendencies and why you think so.  
Is it opaque, translucent, or somewhere in between (semi-opaque)
I think this glaze is semi-opaque as you can still see through on some areas, but it's color is still very stark.I think this glaze is semi-opaque as well as it's translucent around the edges, but the color remains stark and opaque around other areas.This glaze is more translucent compared to the other two as it shows through more, even in the areas where there isn't texture.
Are these glaze ideal for works with detail or plain surfaces? Explain why.
This glaze is great for both detailed and plain surfaces because the glaze pulls on the edges and on texture, ultimately refining it. But, if the piece is plain, the opaqueness will come through on the piece.Similar to the other glaze, this glaze is good for both detailed or plain surfaces because on plain pieces, the opaqueness of the color will come through. Yet, if there is detail or texture, the glaze will pull on the edges and refine it.This glaze works better for detailed surfaces as the glaze pulls on the texture and on the edges more compared to the other two glazes, as it's more translucent.

Water Bill

The chart above shows my family's monthly water consumption. In August it was 72.8 cubic meters, in september it was 60.5 cubic meters, in October it was 64.9 cubic meters, in November it was 63.7 cubic meters, in December it was 25.8, and for January it was 47.7. The average is 55.9 cubic meters per month. The target was the average reduced to 20% less of our water consumption and the amount we would want to use instead of using an a lot more wasteful amount. Our target was 44.72 cubic meters per month.

Significancy of Schindler's List: News Package

News Package Element/ Time Reference Script Introduction The Holocaust is one of the most famous genocides known by many around the world. There has always been speculation whether the movie, Schindler’s List, and its goriness was ever appropriate for students, especially for those who couldn’t handle the gruesome content in the movie. But one filmmaker, Steven Spielberg, made a monumental movement. He changed the lives of many with just one movie. He brought perspectives on prejudice and bullying to light in the phenomenal movie, Schindler’s List . Soundbite 1: Matthew Elms, 8th grade C-side social studies teacher (Elms, 5:43) “I have a hard time imagining an intelligent person sitting down and watching that movie and not being changed. And being the same person afterwards that they were before.” Bridge When asked on how the movie could change people’s perspectives on the world and prejudice, Matthew Elms, an eighth grade social studies teacher at SAS, had a s...

Target

Airplanes flying low, smoke and fire everywhere, and destruction of the twins falling down. That was nine-eleven. It was the tragedy that shook the entire world and the time where many lives were lost trying to save the innocent.Tears fled from people’s eyes like a stream and hearts were slowly tearing apart as loved ones were getting torn apart from them. Grief and condolences were sent to the US and its people. And during that very sad time, Muslims were discriminated because about one percent of their population were the ones who attacked. Persecuted for doing something they didn’t do, something they didn’t have control of. Even being called horrible names like “terrorist”.  Going to an American school and being the only Muslim in my grade, I felt like a social casualty. A lost puppy in a thunderstorm. We used to talk about this event in class every year and my teacher would talk about the culprits that were the Muslim terrorists. And I would see the few peers who woul...
