Intro to Glue Blocks
Typical stairs consist of two basic components a tread, horizontal, and a riser, vertical. However, over time stairs begin to degrade causing slight warping in the trend. This shrinkage of the wood as well as weaken of the fastener between the riser and trend causes the two components to rub together, this creates an unpleasant squeaking sound.
To solve these problems, a joint called a “glue block” is used with nails or screws to secure the joint to the underside of the trend where it meets the riser. These glue blocks are right triangle prisms and strongly support the perpendicular connection between the tread and riser due to the reinforcement of the right angle.
The name “glue blocks” doesn’t seem to make sense since the joint is primarily supported by screws. The history of the glue block’s function was primary used in furniture, such as chairs. Glue blocks were used in a similar fashion to support the leg and other parts so it may not cause squeaking and when dealing with furniture, glue blocks were installed with glue. It was later that carpenters adopted these glue blocks in the construction of stairs.
Inventor: Designing the Glue Block
2D Sketch on Inventor
When first creating the 2D sketch of the glue block on Inventor, I had to design the triangular face of the joint. Since I understand a glue block is might to strengthen the right angle connection between the riser and the tread, I deduce that the triangle has a right angle. Then considering how the glue blocks are supposed to be installed, it would make the most sense to sketch the triangle so the right angle was to the top corner. However, there are also other considerations that should be made. One of which is the importance of symmetry i...

3) How can I do better in a future similar situation?
To do better in a similar future situation, I would work on better time management skills so I complete assignments punctually and to the best of my abilities. Then if I experience any difficulties with Inventor, I will take self-advocacy to ask my teacher or colleague for assistance.
4) Who in my class can offer extra insight?
For extra insight I may always look towards either my teacher or my peers. Since the class is a split Grade 11/ 12 class I can ask my seniors about their past year in Grade 11 Technological Design. Those who are in my year can always offer constructive criticism and I can also give them criticism as well as a mutual benefit.
A connecting rod subjected to an axial load F may buckle with x-axis as neutral axis in the plane of motion of the connecting rod, {or} y-axis is a neutral axis. The connecting rod is considered like both ends hinged for buckling about x axis and both ends fixed for buckling about y-axis. A connecting rod should be equally strong in buckling about either axis [8].

Every disease is known for having their own cycle or process; well as for Osteoarthritis its process is pretty complex. In osteoarthritis (OA), at the end of the bone where they meet to form a joint, allowing movement, the cartilage covering the bone begins something called breakdown. Cartilage is a tissue that cushions the joint when it moves. As the cartilage wears away, the bones are now exposed and they begin to rub against one another. The bone is no longer functioning smoothly, for the joints shape and makeup is affected due to cartilage deterioration. Due to the fact that your bones are being rubbed against one another it is highly possible that other problems can occur inside the joint.
Your schedule will be as open as a barren desert. You will relieve all your stress by procrastinating. You don’t have to worry about the assignment until the day l before it is due, and this is a good thing. as you can zone out and focus on the activity at hand whether that’s browsing online, watching a movie, or hanging out with friends. The assignments will begin to haunt you at first; this will be a challenge that everyone faces, yet you need to realize that paper isn’t going to write itself, and neither are you; at least, not yet. That paper has a long life ahead of it before it needs to get turned in, why make it suffer? Speedily add to it the day before to ensure that no pain goes to the paper. In class, you don’t have to listen, but rather just act like you doing work. You can just look at the notes, that the teacher wrote when you get home. If you forget, it isn’t the end of the world you still have a day to study; the test is tomorrow. Procrastination is the gift that keeps giving. The more you procrastinate, the easier it will get, the more your grades will increase, and the more you’ll have fun. Yet, don’t get too carried away. You must procrastinate but still must complete your assignments. School is important, yet your activities outweigh the need for completion of assignments, so they can wait. What you need and want should come
I say this because both Mr. Downing and Mr. Marion has made some good points. As a victim you will not succeed I have been in that position pre-viously. Now this semester I feel that I am doing well I set some goals in the beginning of class, which was be on time complete all assignments on time, don’t miss any days, ask for help when I need to, communicate with teacher, get support from family and friends, set up a support system at school, and get numbers of classmates just in case I miss something. Personally think I need to regroup myself to have a better outcome. My modifications will be not missing anymore days, turn in work assignment’s on time, and come up with how to spend my time at home to complete my homework. My desired grade in ENG 2 class is an A. I don’t plan on giving up and I plan on giving this all I have this time around like I stated before my children will be looking at me I am going to make them proud and my-self!!!!! I will be a creator and never a victim
I will be comparing Elmer’s school glue and cheap Dollar store glue (iMagine glue). The Elmer’s glue is priced at $1.00 for 4 oz. The cheaper glue is priced at $0.50 for 4oz, so the iMagine glue is a good bit cheaper than the Elmer’s glue. The Elmer’s glue is a touch thicker than the cheap glue. Technically, Elmer’s glue is a “PVA - based glue”, but is is basically like all regular “PVA” . There is not much difference in Elmer’s glue And regular “PVA glue.” There are many parts to making slime like the right amount of Borax. For instance you could put too much borax and your slime will be hard , and we don’t want that. Do you know how slime works? The borax dissolves into the water the water into sodium ions Na^t, and tetraborate ion. Hydrogen
So, between now and the time that I graduate, I need to be more cognizant with math and computers. My goals are to take a computer programming class, whether it’s online or over the summer. I also plan on taking additional mathematics courses, such as calculus, algebra, or trigonometry. In order to reach these goals, I must get experienced with another necessary quality of an aerospace engineer: time management. Although I have big ideas, I’m also realistic. I know it won’t be an easy task, yet I know it can be done.

This problem influences my academic and personal life because I cannot manage my time correctly in order to be successful. Firstly I am not organized and I don’t have any plan to set and apply. This shows clearly the difficulty of my critical situation. I became to feel anxious and nervous all the time and also it affects on my grade. According to this I must change the way I deal with my time by changing the methodology and follow other time management strategies. The reality that I never have manage my time and now I regret deeply that I don’t have any schedule to follow then I realize that managing time is necessary and very important.
Within these eight stages, problems can be framed, the right questions can be asked, more idea can be created, and the best answers can be chosen. The steps aren’t linear; they occur simultaneously and can be repeated. Although design is always subject to personal taste, design thinkers share a common set of value the drive innovation: these value are meanly creativity, ambidextrous thinking, teamwork, and user focus curiosity (Owen, 1993).
“Triangles are the most sound structure for a bridge” (Alise). We have found that triangles are a very good support to build a strong bridge. Some arch bridges and truss bridges use triangles to have better support. Almost all, especially the big and reliable ones are made of steel or iron. However, those materials aren’t all that we need for a strong bridge (thank goodness because we are only allowed balsa wood and wood glue for ours).

Together with the teacher and classmates, students are given the opportunity to speculate and question the world around them and the world awaiting them. Within small peer groups, for instance, students are encouraged to discuss, share, and compromise. The teacher is there to encourage this process, rather than to provide prescribed solutions. Similarly, the learning environment is collaborative and democratic, giving opportunities for all to speak their minds and receive feedback from peers as well as the teacher. This continuous loop of feedback, potentially positive or negative, serves as the means of assessment for problem-solving based instruction.
To begin with, I changed my time management in order to balance between study and entertainment. During high school, I had a poor time management. I attended school for seven hours and tutorial classes after school every day. After that, I had to do tons of homework such as book report, essay and assignment. Although it was late after finishing all my work, I surfed the Internet instead of going to sleep. I always thought that I still have much time left, so I procrastinated all the time. I slept only five hours a day, so I fell asleep in class. As I was not concentrated in class, I missed many important points from the teacher. I had to use more time to study after school so as to catch up. After having the poor experience, I understand the importance of having a good time management, so I tried to plan my work in the college. During college, I have much more free time. I have classes four to five hours a day and the rest is my free time, hence, it is important to have a good time management. I have to make sure that I do not use up my time in surfing the Internet. My goal of attending
