Fruit salad fruit type identification

I had thought I used two medium sized cans of tropical fruit spring 2024, but I had forgotten that I upsized in the wake of running out in a prior term. Although I had forgotten this detail, I still fortuitously chose the largest can available at A1 Mart. I had also picked up five small cans of fruit from Ace Office supply. I forgot to check Ace Commercial for nata de Coco, and A1 Mart was out. 

The small can second from the right above has a picture of many kinds of fruit and is marked in Japanese only. Despite the label, the can contained pear chunks only, nothing else. And the pear chunks were off color, darker and grayer than a pear chunk should be. They were not expired and tasted just fine, but I did not add them to the bowl. I shifted to a large metal bowl this term.

The lids were all pop top lids on the small cans. I began setup at 3:00 including a cold boot of the SMARTboard. I finished fruit distribution at 3:29 and used the videos to distribute paper towels  toothpicks - four 100 count toothpick dispensers visible in an earlier picture. They were perfect.

Attendance had been 18 and 19 in the two previous class sessions, so I set 20 bowls. On time arrival was 15, but six more students drifted in late. 

But 20 bowls of single metal ladle scoops left fruit cocktail for additional bowls. The largest can is a must have. The medium sized cans contain 836 grams of fruit cocktail, the largest can holds three kilograms of fruit cocktail, three and half times the amount of the medium can but costing less than a 3.5 multiple of the price. The Del Monte website indicates that this brand is available in the Philippines only. Which is a common source country for many of the products on island.

The peaches were gigantic only four peach halves in the can. But this would prove important as a comparison to the smaller and distinctively orange apricot halves. Missing this term was "temperate" climate fruit salad with pears, other than the pear can I didn't use.

Watching the two videos. Neither are optimal, but a search for alternative videos found nothing usable.

The SMARTboard had the fruit table displayed for reference. Probably should have enlarged the table.

Plotting polar coordinates in Desmos and a vector addition demonstrator

Image
In an earlier post I noted that Desmos did not directly plot polar coordinates. Not only was I incorrect, but Desmos responded to my blog to correct me! Although I had at some point seen that one could define a function f(x)=3x+5 and then have Desmos calculate f(6), I had not absorbed how this might be used to plot polar coordinates. The above works beautifully . Realizing that I could effectively program Desmos, I applied this thinking to demonstrating how to add two vectors when given the magnitudes m and the direction angles theta. The graph calculates the i and j components for the two vectors and then adds the vectors, graphically displaying the result while also providing information on the magnitude and direction of the vector sum. m1 and theta1 are the magnitude and direction angle for one of the two vectors, m2 and theta2 are the magnitude and direction for the other vector. All four are dynamically interactive and can be changed. The diagram purports to illustra

Setting up a boxplot chart in Google Sheets with multiple boxplots on a single chart

Image
The  Google Statistics  add-on for Google Sheets can display multiple boxplots in a single chart. The key is the layout of the data. One column should be the variable by which the data is to be grouped, the other column should be the data to be box plotted. Set up the Statistics add-on with the data to be plotted as the variable, and the grouping column as the "by" variable. In this image I had deselected all but the boxplot option, the result was the appearance of the Moment, Standard errors, and Confidence intervals options. The default is apparently a 95% confidence interval for the mean. The result is multiple boxplots on a single chart with a common scale. The new tab that is created also quotes 95% confidence intervals for the mean. Note that as of 2018 the Google Statistics add-on cannot be found by search in the add-ons. In addition, as of May 2018 the add-on no longer verifies, possibly due to the add-on not having been updated since August 2017. One may ha

Traditional food dishes of Micronesia

Image
Clara, Jennette, and Joanie presented ground hard taro cooked in an umw, effectively a hot rock oven. Pohnpeian: rotama. Pingelapese: sero. Mwoakillese: rodma. Mortlockese: Amahd. Kosrae: rodoma. After cooking in an umw the rotama is pounded with the petiole of a palm frond. Rotama is made from hard or swamp taro, known as mwahng on Pohnpei, mweian on Pingalap, pula in Mortlockese, and pahsruhk on Kosrae. In traditional times on the outer islands the women had primary responsibility for tending the taro while the men handled fishing and climbing tasks. Joesen and Noeleen presented fermented breadfruit from the outer islands of Yap such as Woleai and Eauripik. The raw ingredients were actually brought in from Yap, Noeleen prepared the maare.  The leaf wrap is ti leaf - Cordyline fruticosa. Pauleen, Barnson, Trisha, Verginia, Con-ray, and Maylanda from Kitti, Pohnpei brought in mahi umw, koahpnoair koakihr, and uht sukusuk. Above is breadfruit umw, mahi umw, one o
