Buy a whole cow!

    The article I read was all about how you can buy either half a cow or a whole cow and store it in your freezer so you can have meat for a whole lot cheaper than if you bought it from the grocery store. Some farms, such as Ray Law's cattle ranch are selling whole cows to people as opposed to selling the cows to a place that will then go on to package and sell the separate cuts of meat. If you buy half a cow, it is usually between 200-250 lbs of meat and it would cost from $1,400 to $1,700. The price would then be about $6.90 per pound when the average price for a pound of beefsteak at the grocery store is $8.65. This way though, you are getting a variety of cuts of meat such as brisket, roasts, ground beef, steaks, and more. The only catch is that you would need to have freezer storage for the beef until you eat it, but an extra freezer is pretty easy to find. Another benefit of buying your beef this way is that the meat is leaner and more high quality than you would regularly find. The cows are typically grass-fed and very well taken care of at these farms, so this causes the meat to taste better and be healthier for you. One thing that it didn't include in the article but I thought was worth including is that it causes there to be less waste. Not only is the whole cow being used but all the meat would be stored in the freezer, so you end up only getting out what you need instead of buying packages of meat that is not the right amount that you may have needed to make your food. Overall I think that this is a really great idea and that more people should know about it so that they can save money!

Cultural Anthropology blog

 India Riley Mr.Roddy IHSS September 2, 2021 Anthropology blog     My article was about wildfires. All across the Mediterranean fires are increasingly becoming larger, and more dangerous. This could be due to many different causes, the most likely is human inflicted. Because of climate change the chances of a fire have significantly increased. While farming is practical and beneficial for food, most farming strategies have become more harmful than good for our environment. The chemical pesticides and fertilizers are extremely flammable, with just one spark the entire field could burst into flame within minutes. When dedicating a large amount of land to farmland or cattle range, its safe to assume that at some point that will be engulfed in a fire. Rarely a field could emerge to flames even if a human hasn't touched it, because plants release so much oxygen, too much of any sort of plant could combust to flames during drought seasons or lightning storms significantly...

Prisoner of The Infidels

  Niko Cantu Mr. Rodey IHSS 21 October 2021 Prisoner of The Infidels 1）Osman’s writing is far more modern than other writings from his time. It has a very direct and straightforward structure and its translation to English is paractly identical to modern English writing. An example of this direct writing was when Osman said “From this, I understood God's will,namly, that my master had no intention of ever granting me freedom”. This sentence for one use I as he refers to himself in the first person, which was not very common during that time.   2) Osman is clearly very connected to his Muslim religon and repedidly mentions Allah throughou the story. A clear example of this use is when he says “I have no money, and no one is going to help me because of Allah''. This is a clear example of how SOman instinctively believes that Allah may not have an effect on his current situation, he thinks of Allah as a part of his daily life.  3) A discussion that Osman had to make was...

IHSS reading Prisoner of the Infidels Ira Williams

  Ira Williams Mr.Roddy October 27, 2021 IHSS IHSS reading Prisoner of the Infidels Pick a section to note the style of his writing.  How would you characterize it? The writing was very descriptive and rough at the same time, it made you see and picture the things he was going through and realize how bad it was. It was very humbling to read how he was beaten and imprisoned in a cell with his hand and feet shackled, on his stomach too. What role does his religion play in his thinking?  Give an example. He was very risky in what he did because he had is divine wisdom and foresight to guide him, as well as Allah to fall back on . one instance of this is when he “saw” people surrounding the city and so he slid along a frozen lake to another town, where he hid in a barrel. What is a decision that he had to make?  Do you think it was a good one? Why or why not? When he left his old master, I think that he should have stayed, he was treated pretty well, even was given some ...
