I.          Introduction

A.        Background of the Study

          We conduct this Investigatory Project entitled Squash Pudding because we want to help those people who don’t eat vegetable specially children. We also know that squash is a nutritious vegetable that contains Vitamin A that is needed by the retina of the eye in the form of a specific metabolite, the light- absorbing molecule retinal, that is necessary for both low- light (scotopic vision) and color vision. Vitamin A also functions in a very different role, as an irreversibly oxidized form of retinol known as retinoic acid, which is an important hormone- like growth factor for epithelial and other cells.

B.        Significance of the Study

           This study was conducted to make squash healthier and more nutritious for children. This study, Squash pudding will benefit children who like eating pudding because squash is a vegetable that contains of Vitamin A it is good for our eyes and it prevent us from diabetes. This study will also benefit adults who have heart diseases, poor eyesight and cells expose to radicals.

C.        Statement of the Problem

                   The study intends to use squash as an alternative ingredient if pastries, particularly, pudding. Specifically the study seeks to:

1)         Describe the characteristics of squash when used as a pudding ingredient.

2)         Identify the nutritional value of squash when added to pudding.

3)         Asses the reaction of high school students regarding the taste and use of squash in pudding.

D.        Scope and Limitations

               This study was limited to the use of squash or Curcubita Maxima as an alternative ingredient in pudding. Furthermore the use of squash as an alternative ingredient for pudding aimed to enhance the nutritional value of pudding since it is a common consumption of high school students.

This study used nature C. M. fruits that are usually grown in Lone garden and commercial scale in the Philippines. There was over one variety of C.M. used in this study such as the San Leandro variety. The choice of this was anchored on the availability, and texture of it.

                   

The study, likewise, involved the knowledge in basic steps and ingredients needed to make pudding. The study also involves taste test conducted to various groups of high school students picked by the researchers of the study. This study is only limited on the effects on adding squash to pudding in the effects to the eyesight of the individual who tasted it.

Methodology

Mix 4 cups of grinded squash, 1 cup of flour, 2 eggs, ½ cup of baking powder,¾ cup of evaporated milk and  7/8 cup of sugar into a bowl. Pour into a pan and bake, uncovered, at 260 degrees Celsius for approximately 40 minutes until almost done.

The MS Word

Microsoft Word is a commercial word processor designed by Microsoft. It was first released in 1983 under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems. Subsequent versions were later written for several other platforms including IBM PCs running DOS (1983), the Apple Macintosh (1984), the AT&T Unix PC (1985), Atari ST (1986), SCO UNIX, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows (1989). It is a component of the Microsoft Office software system; it is also sold as a standalone product and included in Microsoft Works Suite. The current versions are Microsoft Word 2010 for Windows and 2011 for Mac.

 

 These are the parts of the MS word:

Typing

We tested our skills in typing while performing typing test. Typing is the process of inputting text into a device, such as a typewriter, cell phone, computer, or a calculator, by pressing keys on a keyboard.

Notice in the keyboard that the different colors looks like a guide for your fingers. The red color is for the the right pinky the orange is for the right ring finger the yellow is for the middle finger and the green is for the right index finger. The blue color is for the left index finger; purple for middle finger; violet for the ring finger; and pink for the pinky finger!

This is the part of the keyboard.

Types of Software

Major Types of Software

Programming Software: This is one of the most commonly known and popularly used forms of computer software. These software come in forms of tools that assist a programmer in writing computer programs. Computer programs are sets of logical instructions that make a computer system perform certain tasks. The tools that help the programmers in instructing a computer system include text editors, compilers and interpreters.

System Software: It helps in running the computer hardware and the computer system. System software is a collection of operating systems; devise drivers, servers, windowing systems and utilities. System software helps an application programmer in abstracting away from hardware, memory and other internal complexities of a computer.

Application Software: It enables the end users to accomplish certain specific tasks. Business software, databases and educational software are some forms of application software. Different word processors, which are dedicated for specialized tasks to be performed by the user, are other examples of application software.

Apart from these three basic types of software, there are some other well-known forms of computer software like inventory management software, ERP, utility software, accounting software and others. Take a look at some of them.

Inventory Management Software: This type of software helps an organization in tracking its goods and materials on the basis of quality as well as quantity. Warehouse inventory management functions encompass the internal warehouse movements and storage. Inventory software helps a company in organizing inventory and optimizing the flow of goods in the organization, thus leading to an improved customer service.

Utility Software: Also known as service routine, utility software helps in the management of computer hardware and application software. It performs a small range of tasks. Disk defragmenters, systems utilities and virus scanners are some of the typical examples of utility software.

Data Backup and Recovery Software: An ideal data backup and recovery software provides functionalities beyond simple copying of data files. This software often supports user needs of specifying what is to be backed up and when. Backup and recovery software preserve the original organization of files and allow an easy retrieval of the backed up data.

The History of Computers

Almost all of us use a computer. You can't do your homework easily without the help of a computer. You will not be searching for thick books in the library and waist your precious time in finding just one topic the whole day. But do you really know where your computer came from? Or you just use them without even knowing what's their history?

I will show you a video about the history of computers. 

 

That video I showed you was just a short peek about the history of computers.

 

Now, let’s read more about the history of computers.

Humans

·         The earliest form of counting was with fingers

·         Other objects such as rocks or twigs were used to represent groups of numbers.

·         The idea of making mathematics easier was unheard of at the time.

 

Abacus

·         The oldest known form of computing is the abacus.

·         The oldest surviving abacus was discovered in 300 B.C.

·         Users moved beads to perform calculations; each column repeated a different multiple of ten.

Pascaline

·         Blaise Pascal was the inventor of the first digital computer called the PASCALINE.

·         The Pascaline used hand-spun mechanical wheels to input numbers, then outputted them as the answer

Step Reckoner

·         Gottfried Leibniz created the Step Reckoner as an improvement of pascaline.

 

Difference Engine

·         Charles  Babbage’s Difference Engine was a mechanical calculator that operated automatically.

 

Analytical Engine

The Analytical Engine, an important step in the history of computers, is a design for a mechanical general-purpose computer first described by English mathematician Charles Babbage in 1837. It was the successor to Babbage's difference engine, a design for a mechanical calculator. The Analytical Engine incorporated an arithmetical unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and integrated memory, making it the first Turing-complete design for a general-purpose computer.
Babbage was never able to complete construction of any of his machines due to conflicts with his chief engineer and inadequate funding. It was not until 100 years later, in the 1940s, that the first general-purpose computers were actually built.

 
Punched Cards-Tabulating Machine
The tabulating machine was an electrical device designed to assist in summarizing information and, later, accounting. Invented by Herman Hollerith, the machine was developed to help process data for the 1890 U.S. Census. It spawned a larger class of devices known as unit record equipment and the data processing industry.



Those were the computers from the first computer to the  computers in the first generation.

Things I learned

Because of this, I know where my favorite gadget came from. I just wonder what will be the computer look like after a hundred of year...

Hmm.. Her's a video from youtube that amazed me of the future computers.

wow... amazing... hehe.
