Cleveland Opens Five New Schools for 2006 – 2007

A New Look for Cleveland Schools

Three Cleveland schools received complete and comprehensive renovations. These schools will appear completely different to returning students and take learning in Cleveland to a new and modern level. These schools include Mary B. Martin at 8200 Brookline Avenue, Mary Bethune at 11815 Moulton Avenue, and John Hay at 2075 Stoke Boulevard. All of these schools will host Open Houses for parents and students to get to know the new facilities.

In addition to these renovations, two brand new buildings were also completed for the 2006 – 2007 school year. These schools represent the latest in educational design and the pride of the Cleveland school system. Hopefully, these schools will become centers of learning in the Cleveland community and open more educational opportunities for students. The new schools are John Adam High School at 3817 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Hannah Gibbons – Nottingham at 1401 Larchmont Road. These new schools will also hold Open Houses for new parents and students to come and check out what has been going on in new construction and how to prepare themselves to learn at these new schools.

District Wide Improvement Strategies

In addition to these new renovations and locations, Cleveland schools are calling on parents in all schools to get together and discuss how to make getting to school in Cleveland a safe and enjoyable experience. The “Respect Clevelend: A Matter of Choice. A Leadership Summit for Safe and Respectful Schools” will help address concerns that parents and administrators have for making Cleveland schools more productive and less likely to encounter problems in the new school year. The focus of the summit will be identifying and implementing 4 or 5 clear goals to improve safety and security at Cleveland schools.

Speaking about the summit, Dr. Sanders states: “We intend to do all that we can before the start of school to ensure safety, security and respect to all of our students and staff and we want every concerned resident, including our young people, to have the opportunity to bring their suggestions and recommendations to this process.” Sanders hopes that the summit will be one of many meetings throughout the school year and beyond to improve student safety and security and make Cleveland schools more inviting environments for students and parents. Long term recommendations, as well as stages that need to be met for the Cleveland school safety programs, are welcome from the community in general as well as the parents and students at Cleveland schools.

Under the umbrella of Cleveland school safety improvement, the district will also implement several other programs to keep students safe at all Cleveland schools. The Cleveland Police Department, the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department, the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority Police, RTA Police, Cuyahoga Community College Police and University Circle Police will all assist in monitoring students getting on and off of school buses. A hotline, 771-SAFE, will be manned 24 hours each day by CMSD’s Division of Safety & Security in order to take tips and problems about student safety.

All of these safety programs are designed with the goal of keeping Cleveland schools connected to the resources of the Cleveland community to keep students safe. “This collaboration and the coordination of our patrols in the early morning and the afternoon allows us to have many more eyes watching out for our children on their way to and from school,” said Dr. Sanders. “This has provided an extra measure of safety for our children and we are pleased to continue these partnerships and will seek additional law enforcement agencies to join us.”

Lungs – The Respiration Necessity

The lungs are massive vessel-like organs in the chest cavity. They are the largest and most essential part of the respiration system. The air we breathe enters and exits our lungs through two passages; the bronchioles and the bronchi. Lungs’ main responsibilty is to take oxygen from the atmosphere and transport it into the bloodstreem. It then excretes carbon dioxide from blood into the atmoshpere. This gas exchange happens through specialized cells that form many millions of thin-walled air sacs. Some non-respiratory functions are also performed by the lungs.

In single celled bacteria and other small organisms, the respiration process of gas exhange can happen through simple diffusion. In large organisms, however, this is impossible, because a very small amount of cells in large organisms are located close enough to the surface for diffusion to take place. Two major changes made it possible for all organisms to attain multicellularity. One being an efficient circulatory system to transport gases to and from all tissues in the body. The other is a large respiratory system. The respiratory system centralizes the responsibilty of collecting oxygen from the atmosphere and brings it into the body, where it can be rapidly sent to tissues through the circulatory system.

lungsspot.com Lungs also have several jobs that do not include the respiratory function. A main job for the lungs is to protect the heart. They surround the heart and act as cushions to soften any blow that the heart may have to endure. Without this padding, simply bumping into someone could be fatal. Another responsibilty of this organ is to influence the concentration of biologically active drugs and other substances which are used in medicine. Filtering out small blood clots formed in the systemic veins is another task performed by the lungs.

Math and Poetry

Math rules, and everything else drools. Well maybe not everything, but the truth is that math really is the king of subjects to study. For ultimately every subject in school—indeed everything—revolves around math. Even subjects that you would never think. Like English, for example. How so? you say.

Well for instance, take poetry. Poetry has meter, which in essence is the way a poem is structured as to the flow of the syllables. The sonnet is a type of poem consisting of four stanzas: three of which contain four lines, and the last containing two lines. Indeed, math can be found in the sonnet as well as in many other least expected places.

You see the sonnet has a meter which is known as iambic pentameter. Pentameter refers to the number of feet a line contains, a foot being a number of syllables of words. Iambic refers to the number of syllables and the stress pattern associated with those syllables: the iamb is a foot of two syllables, an unstressed followed by a stressed. Thus a line of iambic pentameter contains ten syllables, and these are such that the pattern is unstressed followed by stressed. This is illustrated by the following: daDUM daDUM daDUM daDUM daDUM. An example of some lines of iambic pentameter would be the following taken from Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare:

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

So what the heck does poetry, iambic pentameter, or the like have to do with math? Before you go off and get ready to commit me, give me a chance to explain. The point of this article is to show that if we look (and admittedly we sometimes have to look hard, but often times we really don’t), we will see relationships and tie-ins between an abstract discipline like mathematics and other seemingly unrelated fields—like poetry, to wit. You see, we can think of a line of iambic pentameter—the key meter of any sonnet—as being composed of a string of 0’s and 1’s, in which the 0’s represent the unstressed syllables and the 1’s represent the stressed syllables. Thus the daDUM’s above become 01’s, and a line of iambic pentameter becomes 01 01 01 01 01. For those of you who recognize this pattern, you notice that we have converted the meter of the sonnet into a binary pattern of digits. By converting the sonnet into this binary pattern, we can spot instantly whether each line of a sonnet fits rigorously into the iambic structure or not. For any line that does not alternate between 0’s and 1’s, with five of each in each line, would technically fall outside this structure.

Indeed many lines of many sonnets fall outside this structure. Just read the sonnets of Shakespeare or Emily Dickinson, for that matter. However, this structure is followed as a guiding principle. Deviations occur for the sake of expression and also because deviations sometimes…are good.

So here we have discovered a weird connection between binary digits and—of all things—poetry. Imagine how many other things we could discover if we just used a little imagination. For this reason, I say without reservation that math indeed rules and everything else, kind of drivels. And for those of you who realized while reading this that those binary digits are what form the foundation for computer technology—yes that’s right, the computer would not be if man did not harness the power of those little seemingly insignificant 0’s and 1’s—take a bow.

Yes. Math rules. And by the way, why don’t you chew on this binary digit stuff while you figure out a way how to make more money with Google’s Adsense Program. Just a kidding thought. Till next time…

Why do People Believe in Global Warming?

Have you ever asked yourself why everyone believes that global warming is real? A recent television survey said 90% of the people believe that global warming is real and yet just two years ago that percentage was under 30%; how can this be? Well it appears that the bombardment of mass media hysteria over the global warming issue has convinced people that it is now real. Does that mean it was false and now it is real?

No, what it actually means is that most people have surrendered their minds to their television set and they believe what ever they read in the newspaper, hear on the radio or watch on the television; anything. Now they believe in global warming.

Of course just the other day we are trying to get them to all believe everyone was going to die from bird flu. Apparently people were not buying into that so they had to switch it to something a little more apocalyptic; global warming fit the bill.

After all, if the temperature heats up and the earth is turned into a fiery hell; it fits in with the belief system of many God-fearing men and fundamental religious radicals. This way the eco-terrorists, environmentalists, socialists and Christians can all believe the same thing.

It is brilliant mass media hysteria trickery that has been purported on the people of the world. And now scientists have got together in Paris France make it official. Why do People Believe in Global Warming? Because people believe what ever they are told and it is amazing what you can get humans to believe or so someone once said.

This global warming alarmist propaganda is indeed an interesting study in human mass psychology. I tell you I am getting quite a kick out of it actually. humans are a very fun species to study. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.

Internal Analysis

The entire business world today has become more flexile in terms of operations and communication with in both business-to-business atmosphere and in customer relations. The major influence that caused these changes came from technological breakthroughs, more of which are emerging every year. For the Intel corporation which is the manufacturer of microprocessors and an innovator of new technologies the application of modern IT approaches has solved many problems. Although Intel is a leader in the microprocessor industry it still has to reorganize its internal and external operations in order to attract and retain its customers. Moreover Intel has to make business procedures as easy as possible for the partners and in doing so the company has to use the Web to improve their current position. In order to facilitate positive changes Intel has adopted a different technological approach to its value chain operations, the analysis of which will show exactly what has helped the constructive changes to happen.

One of the basic elements of value chain is the inbound logistics which is responsible for such operations as materials control and how well does it work, type of inventory system control and its effectiveness, and warehousing of the materials. Intel has adopted a system that works through the Net and analyses the direct supply purchases, meaning all the materials and equipment the company needs to make chips and components are managed instantly. The company is currently doing about 90% of inventory supply/control in this manner however management will only be satisfied when all of the supply purchases are communicated in this way. Another innovation that has helped Intel to reduce time of processing needed information from the suppliers was the implementation of online access to confidential engineering and product-specification documents. This simplification lead to reduction of the amount of time the suppliers needed to find out what exactly the company required and how fast it should be done. This system of secure Web downloads help to cut the amount of time needed to transfer confidential documents from two to three weeks to only 30 minutes. A sufficient number of Intel suppliers also use the Net to check the inventory levels and make estimations about needed components, times of delivery and status of payments. As seen, Intel has shortened the distance between itself and suppliers to a minimum, which resulted in a more efficient manufacturing process, cost reduction and thus more value added to the final product.

Another element of value chain is the operations itself which consist of productive equipment, production control system and automation level used in production process. It is understandable that Intel has the best equipment as the company itself is the manufacturer of the parts of equipment. The RosettaNet is a new system of business process standards used in conjunction with XML forms which is a core of technology that allows Intel to build more competent links with its suppliers and customers. It is a set of standards for business processes that enables Intel which uses diverse and often conflicting systems to exchange documents and data over the Internet. thus RosettaNet is of growing importance to manufacturing companies such as Intel and its suppliers that want to do business via Net. Intel that has changed from Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems to RosettaNet which allowed it to improve productivity levels, combined with efficient inventory it results in overall production growth.

Outbound logistics refer to as delivery of finished products and warehousing of finished products, as well as efficiency of both of these operation. Again using the Web Intel has decreased the time inventory stays in the company’s warehouses to the minimum. By putting the customer order-entry system on the Web, Intel diminishes the errors which routinely occur with paper order forms which had to be entered into a computer, by almost 75 percent. The company has increased online sales from a $1-billion-a-month to a $2-billion-a-month without hiring any additional staff. Intel just let the electronic systems to the work which turned out to be more effective than people in such arrears like telemarketing or advertising. With those electronic systems processing orders, inventory gets quickly moved out of the warehouses and quickly delivered to the customers, which in turn allow the company to focus more on R&D processes than on maintenance issues.

As was already discussed Intel’s automated processing systems of inventory supply and demand and communication with customers results in a coordinated company functioning. Marketing and sales procedure is also a part of value chain process and has to be individually assessed in order for all the components to fit the general strategy of the company. This section of value chain is concerned with issues such as marketing research being effectively used to identify customer segments and needs. This question can also be answered by the new technological approaches which Intel has implemented in all spheres of its operations. They have actually improved time to market the products, and in Intel’s kind of business, time to market is everything because high technologies are quickly introduced and as quickly removed from the market. Intel is introducing new chip models and generations every six months and if they are able to reduce marketing time at least to one week they will actually gain a week’s worth of high-margin revenue, because their new products are sold at high prices, or “skimming prices.” This minor difference speeds up company’s total revenue rate and makes a big difference in the bottom line. Also due to Intel’s sales system on the Web, about 26 percent of the transactions occur after normal business hours, which is a great deal of all sales made by Intel. This approach stresses customer convenience in terms of hours and fosters international trade, as there are different time zones in countries where Intel sells.

Services are the logical outcomes that follow after the purchase is completed. Most of Intel customers are corporate ones and almost 90% of them are making purchases through the Net. The direct customers in more than 60 countries can order various design specifications of their chips online in designing their end products, but also in making changes or/and suggestions about specific finished product. The speed with which customers are taken care of is the primary competence of Intel. It is related to all five major value chain factors, and it results in company’s leading position on the market in the price-quality-inventory and customer service department. Automated systems enable company to quickly react to any changes in the market as well as in their external business issues.

Tips On Developing Your Personal Efficiency To Meet The Demand Of Online Learning

Online education gives you an opportunity to earn your desired qualification while you still need to commit to other essential commitments. While the opportunity and pathway are provided, you will have to prepare for it. If you are taking a graduate course, you will have already experienced what the demands are. So, to continue to pursue your graduate degree online should not a major issue. However, if you are taking a degree for the first time, the academic demands are far greater than in high school. You will have to prepare for it. This should not be a major issue if you decided to work hard.

One possible reason that you are taking the online degree is because you need to work. As such, in order to cope with both work and study, and to complete the course in a satisfactory manner, you will need to develop personal efficiency. Below are some suggested ways.

Firstly, you will need to design a schedule. By having a schedule, you will know precisely what to do in a particular day and time. You will not be wasting valuable time thinking of what to do. For example, you may want to designate a particular block of time per day for your study and do nothing else.

Secondly, if the online degree involves delivering lectures over the web, it is best that you read through the notes before you listen to the lectures. By going through the notes, you either understand them all, some or none. If you understand them all, this will reinforce your understanding in the subject when you hear the lecture. However, if you do not understand the notes, you will naturally make every effort to listen to what the instructor is trying to say. You have prepared for it and you want to clear your doubts.

Thirdly, find a conducive place to study. Well this may not be as easy as you think. It depends on your family setting and background. Some people can study with the hi-fi blasting and the TV screaming, while the ticking of the clock’s second hand will irritate some. As far as possible, you should use a table and a chair for your study and not laying on the bed. Reading your notes or book in the prone position will most likely make you doze off to sleep. You will be more alert in the sitting position.

Fourthly, develop your ability to concentrate. The mind is one of the most important elements in this whole venture. If your mind cannot concentrate and think, you will not get by easily. Some suggested ways to improve your mental fitness are physical fitness, take regular and nutritional meals and get enough sleep. While some other play soft baroque music in the background.

Finally, you will have to identify you weaknesses and improve on them. For example, if you read too slow, you may need to improve your reading speed. If you are weak in algebra or calculus, you will need to quickly bush it up so that you can keep pace with the materials. How about your writing skills? Do you need improvement? Can you do college writing, reports, essay etc. Once identify, you should quickly rectify them.

Above are some suggested pointers for you to take note that you can use it to prepare yourself when you decided to take an online course. It is possible for you to excel if you really put in your heart. Adopt a positive and learning attitude. Keep strictly to your schedule and personal rules and success with be yours.
