2. How do you overcome the difficulties encountered?
3. What are the 2 key takeaways for this lesson?
ii)
Is it safe to use? Will the user cut himself if the triangular shaped object is too sharp?
Is the triangular part sharp enough to penetrate the orange's skin?
Is the triangular part long enough to penetrate through the orange's skin at the riht depth?
Is it easy to cut with the product? Is the cutting smooth?
Is the ring too big or small for the user's finger to pass through?
Is the materials used expensive? Is it long lasting?
Is the material used safe for allergy sufferers?
Is the colour used appropriate for the user? (Not too bright etc.)
Is the design attractive?
Is the weight of the product appropriate?
Is the product environmentally friendly?
Is this product elderly friendly/ child safe?
iii)
Yes. The elderly may cut himself/herself as the triangular part is quite sharp. The elderly may not have enough strength to let the triangular part penetrate the orange's skin. The elderly's fingers might not fit through the ring. The elderly might not know which direction to pull the slicer to cut the orange's skin as the triangular part is pointed to a certain direction that requires the user to slice the orange in a particular manner.
iv) There is a collapsible or expandable plastic part for different finger sizes so peoples with bigger fingers will expand the plastic part while peoples with smaller fingers will collapse the plastic part to adjust the size of the ring to suit his needs.
There is also a clip to store the plastic part when it is not in used, or collapsed.
At the triangular part which it is very sharp, there is a spring next to the triangular part, connected to a movable plastic circle. There is a hole in the circle for the triangular part to come out if the spring was compressed when the person was slicing the orange. If the person accidentally slipped, the spring will expand and make sure that the person does not get injured by the triangular part. The spring is also anti-rust, and will last for a long time.
Elderly having problem remembering things.
I have observed that many elderly have problem remembering things efficiently. I have interviewed an elderly and she said to me that she forgets things frequently and that is a major problem to her lifestyle. She also says that she will forget her interview with me in 2 to 3 days. Thats why, when I ask her about lots of things that happened when she was younger, she could not remember them clearly and sometimes could not answer my questions. So I think elderly should write down things into a small notebook frequently so that they do not forget things so frequently as most elderly do not.

The natural environment, commonly referred to simply as the environment, encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof.
The concept of the natural environment can be distinguished by components:
The natural environment is contrasted with the built environment, which comprises the areas and components that are strongly influenced by humans. A geographical area is regarded as a natural environment (with an indefinite article), if the human impact on it is kept under a certain limited level

The isometric projection show the object from angles in which the scales along each axis of the object are equal. Isometric projection corresponds to rotation of the object by ± 45° about the vertical axis, followed by rotation of approximately ± 35.264° [= arcsin(tan(30°))] about the horizontal axis starting from an orthographic projection view. "Isometric" comes from the Greek for "same measure." One of the things that makes isometric drawings so attractive is the ease with which 60 degree angles can be constructed with only a compass and straightedge.
An oblique projection is a simple type of graphical projection used for producing pictorial, two-dimensional images of three-dimensional objects:
In both oblique projection and orthographic projection, parallel lines of the source object produce parallel lines in the projected image.
