In this blog post I am going to be writing about Chef's table Francis Mallmann and our Composition. I am going to be answering a few questions about how the two relate to each other.
-Question #1: How does this episode fit into the narrative mode? This episode fits the narrative mode perfectly by tailoring its terminology, imagery, and descrpitiveness to convey its idea to the audience. -Questions #2: How does Mallman's story connect to the hiraeth story you are writing in this class? Consider his discussions about home and childhood. He talks about a time he can't return to and how its impacted his character and development. These points are what made our hiraeth assignment. Mallman's ability to tell a story allows the audience to taste the food of his youth through his version of a hiraeth. -Question #3: What major ideas/themes from this episode connect to ideas/themes from our composition course? Consider Mallmann's argument about composing a good dish, examining his life environments, and being productive. Mallmann's seems to want to live his life virtuously. He wants others to live as he does, due to the level of satisfaction he gets out of his adventures. His passion for his craft and study is infectious. It parrallels our class lessons and themes by promoting a growth mindset and explortation. Developing one's uniuqe style is paramount for not only their development but the creation of one's own brand. Both Mallmann and our class is effective at conveying its point.

Superconductor- A material that can transmit electrons with no resistance. Superconductors are a budding industry that has long been pursued for its economic turnout. A stable superconductor at room temperature environments would due to computers what uranium did for bombs. Scientist around the world have been trying to crack the case of the mysterious economically viable material that would jettison our energy production, consumption, transportation, aerospace, and computer industries hundreds of years forward. Thomas D. Cabot and Ranga Dias, researchers at Harvard have succeeded in one of the most important scientific finds since the harnessing of AC electricity. Metallic Hydrogen at an atomic level fits the bid for cost friendly superconductor. The birth of the first sample ever observed by humans is a remarkable story. The duo took a molecular hydrogen sample and applied 71.7 million PSI to the sample for the change to occur. That's more pressure than whats available at the center of the Earth. The sample has not had the opportunity to been studied extensively as the sample has mysteriously disappeared. The material is hypothesized to be meta-stable, similar to diamonds, being formed under intense heat and pressure and able be stable when the forces are removed. The sample is minuscule, only molecules large. This breakthrough could allow for leaps in the next-gen fields of fusion energy, hyper-sonic travel, space exploration and transport, bio-medical augmentation, and quantum computing, The ability to build our new electronics with a superconductor compared to traditional materials which cause a general loss of 15% during transmission. These techonologies are within our grasp. Materials engineering science makes leaps and bounds every year allowing humans to go farther, faster, safer, cheaper. This technology although not extensively studied is proving itself very useful even if only half of its theoretical properties are true. Metallic hydrogen is cheap due to hydrogen's abundance and potential ease of production, as pressure is all that is needed. Its property of meta-stability at room tempreture is promising. More experiments are being conducted into the new material and its potential industrial and technological applications. The news of the science and subsequent (and hopefully inevitable) future of this material is worth note.
When I was in sixth grade my technology teacher told us a story about her college training. When she first went to school in hopes of cultivating the new skill of short hand. Short-hand was used by secretaries before the commercialization of the typewriter. The newly adopted typewriter replaced her humans were no longer needed for fast inscrpition as a typerwriter could make even the untrained individual competitive with a short hand expert. Her story was a warning about the furture and its impending entanglement with technology. Younger individuals hear it all the time. " In my day.... we had to wash dishes by hand." Automation and technological innovation are important for any sane person. I would much rather prefer being able to have the option to use money for labor instead of having to do everything with a rock. Automation is beneficial but oftentimes it is a double-edged sword. In
Modern history has been plauged by a uniquely difficult, destructive, and ingrained issue. Terrorist attacks and tactics have been in use for ages, however the onset of globalization has given individuals new tools and tactics to be used or misused. Immigrants have historically proven, both domestically and international; that the host nation-state net benefits from the inclusion of immigrants as opposed to their rejection.
