Early life:

Richard P. Feynman was born in Queens New York on 11 May 1918 to Jewish (although not practising) parents. By the age of only 15 years old he had mastered differential and integral calculus and occasionally re-created and experimented with mathematical topics such as the half-derivative before he even started to go to college. 

 

Feynman earned a bachelor’s degree from the Massachusetts Institutes of Technology in 1939 and was named a Putnam Fellow that same year. He then received a PH.D from Princeton University in 1942, and in his theses applied the principle of stationary action to quantum mechanics, laying the foundation to (Path Integral) approach and the Feynman diagrams. 

 

Career:

While researching his PH.D he married his first true love Arline Greenbaum, who was already diagnosed with tuberculosis. At Princeton Robert W. Wilson encouraged Feynman to participate in the Manhattan Project. He did so visiting his wife in a sanitarium in Albuquerque every weekend until she died in July 1945. He then immersed himself in work on the project and was present on the Trinity bomb test.

 

Hans Beth made the 24 year old Feynman a group leader theoretical division. ALthough his work on the project was relatively removed from the major action, Feynman did calculate neutron equations for the Los Alamos “Water Boiler”, a small nuclear reactor at the desert lab, in order to measure how close a particular assembly of fissile material was to becoming critical. After this work, he was transferred to the Oak ridge facility, where he aided engineers in calculating safety procedures for material storage so that inadvertent critical accidents could be avoided.

Here is my report on the famous scientist Richard Feynman.

Hope you learn something new.

  

 

Tech

Over the past few weeks the year 8’s at our school have been having food tech at Tamaki college. We have been making very Delicious meals and learning a few cooking tips and tricks. Our teachers name is Mrs Heka.

My favorite meal we have made so far is Mac n Cheese.

I really like this rotation and even though I am vegetarian she will always give me a substitute for the meat.

Explanation Writing “HOW HAS THE TAMAKI AREA CHANGED OVER TIME”

The Tamaki area has had many changes to it in the past few years especially in the housing sector. 

 

Ever since around 2005 the growth in the population in Glen Innes has boomed, therefore the housing sector has also boomed and is building houses to accommodate all of the new residents that call GI there home. Around 8000 more state houses have been built over the last couple of years.

 

Because of the population growth in the East Auckland Suberb of Glen Innes there would obviously need to be more shops and business for people to buy there groceries.

 

What they are planning for the Tamaki Area:

Based on the feedback received, the East Tamaki Business Precinct Plan was submitted to both the Howick and Otara-Papatoetoe Local Boards for approval, and to the Regional Development and Operations Committee.

The plan was adopted in December 2012.

Following publication of the plan, its key land use ideas were incorporated into the Auckland Unitary Plan which is now Operative in part.

A mix of light industrial and heavy industrial zones apply to East Tāmaki land to provide for a range of industrial activities, and employment.

Specific policies apply to land in the Highbrook area to enable low-impact technology businesses and offices to group together in a low-intensity, park-like environment.

As you can see from the text above, the tamaki area has a lot of infrastructure development and updating going on. So as you can see they have some decent plans for the tamaki area.
