The Night of the Notables
April 25, 2012 (Wednesday)
The “Night of the Notables” is a special school project to highlight outstanding characters in history. For this project, AMS selected the character of Pythia, priestess and oracle of Delphi, wearing a traditional light blue chiton.
AMS said, “What we will do is on one night, everybody will dress up as a historical character that lived in BCE (Before Common Era). We will also make a 1 to 2 minute speech about our person and present a tri-fold board.”
The chiton costume was hand-made from an old sheet and assembled with bobby pins.
Project 7: My Social Network
AUTHORS: Bovril and Radiance
STATUS:Completed
This project is to develop a social network and submit it as a science fair project. The topics covered includes: social sciences (social network analysis), math (graph theory, statistics and matrix operations), and communication. Part of the objective will be to discover the alphas and cliques within a limited network of friends and acquaintances (no actual names will be used).
INTRODUCTION
People are, by nature, social animals. This is of such importance that their connections and relationships, their social network, defines who they are. Families, clubs, church groups and friend circles are examples of social networks. In fact, any activity where people have to come together and do something as a group can become a social network.
Recently, many websites have been created to utilise the social nature of humans. For example: Facebook, LinkedIn, Amazon.com and Ebay and even Schoology, allow people to
- find each other
- share ideas
- share likes and dislikes
- share experiences and photos
- allow business to market their products
and so many more.
Science Fair Project – My Social Network
January 12, 2012
It’s always exciting to see all the projects presented at the Science Fair. It was a huge turnout and there was also an exhibit in the Cafetorium by Tesla, USGS, Marine Science Institute and other organizations.
Bovril and Radiance’s project evaluator is an entrepreneur who founded a successful company using an approach very similar to what they’d presented. His comments were encouraging and include “My Special Project!”, “Fun problem”, “Clear hypothesis”, “A very rich area”, “I though the kids had a handle on the basics…”. He commented that he’d like to see more data, lots more data “next year”. Seems he’ll be looking for more in 7th grade. So exciting!
Other parents and administrators said; “This is cutting edge”, “This is the perfect middle school project” and the principal wondered if this technique could help him design the sports program.

Occupy SF Demonstration
October 15, 2011
Participating with Occupy SF. This is our right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
“Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is an ongoing series of demonstrations in New York City based in Zuccotti Park in the Wall Street financial district. The protests were initiated by the Canadian activist group Adbusters.[5] They are mainly protesting social and economic inequality, corporate greed, corruption and influence over government – particularly from the financial services sector – and lobbyists. The protesters’ slogan “We are the 99%,” refers to the difference in wealth between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population.
The original protest began on September 17, 2011, and by October 9, similar demonstrations were either ongoing or had been held in 70 major cities and over 600 communities in the U.S.. Internationally, other “Occupy” protests have modeled themselves after Occupy Wall Street, in over 900 cities worldwide.” (from Wikipedia.com)
