...Madame C. J. Walker. Barium Hydroxide. 5x3+35. Mae Jemison. I listened intently as the middle schoolers responded to each of my mother’s practice questions. I, a then fifth-grader, watched as the students practice for the NOBCChe National Science Bowl. NOBCChe stands for the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers. My parents were both heavily involved in the program: my mother, a middle school teacher, was a science bowl coach, and my father, a chemical engineer, was a chairman. As I listened to the practice drills for competitions, my love of the sciences, specifically chemical engineering, began to flourish. I remember when my mother’s team was invited to the NOBCChe National Science Bowl in Houston, Texas. Back then, I was from a small Michigan town, where I was typically the only black kid in my classes. The conference was a shock; I had never seen so many black professionals in the STEM field. I vividly recall hearing Mae Jemison, my lifelong role model in science, was a key speaker. Recognizing the impact of so many accomplished chemists and chemical engineers, Mae Jemison, only pushed me further to consider chemical engineering. Unfortunately, I never got my shot at the NOBCChe Science Bowl. I was too young to compete, and by the time I was old enough, my family and I had yet moved again this time, Georgia. Although my environment had changed, my passion for math and science did not. In eighth grade, I applied to...

...The Economist Debates As data mining systems sophisticate, the protective walls guarding personal information privacy are becoming progressively more porous. Often, this is done in the name of security. One position states that assuring the security of a citizenry requires the loss of some personal privacy. Critics argue that the two are not inexorably linked but rather governments and corporations are excusing security as a means to gain greater degrees of personal information. Proposer: Mr Neil C Livingstone Believes that assuring the security of a citizenry requires the loss of some personal privacy The great novelist John Steinbeck once observed, "We spend our time searching for security, and hate it when we get it."1 Thus is our conundrum in the wake of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington which traumatised this nation and many of our friends and allies around the globe. Today we face unprecedented security risks to our lives and the fragile infrastructures we depend on to sustain our livelihoods and well-being. Our enemies are far more sophisticated than the stereotype of a bearded jihadist toting an AK-47 hunkered down in the mountains of Pakistan or Afghanistan, an illiterate and superstitious Luddite eager to impose the nostrums and doctrines of the 7th century on the modern world. In reality, many jihadists are technologically sophisticated and linked together by the Internet, which they use to download information on our vulnerabilities and assist them...

...and BTT had a lot of verbal agreements and a lot of different terms that they were each abiding by during the time that they were talking about the business situation. BTT wanted to make sure that Chou would let them try out his game and he had no problem with that, and signed a 90 day trail period in which BTT would be able to test the game, and do whatever they could to see if the game was worth selling so that they could maybe go into a distribution contract with Chou and distribute the game to the customers in which they target. Chou and BTT both came to an agreement so that BTT would be able to distribute Chou's game but at the same time they did not ever enter into a contract and this was a mistake on both Chou's and BTT's side. Neither one of these two ever made the proper effort to make sure that this went into place and that they each got what they were looking for out of everything. When BTT and Chou both decided that they would go into a distribution contract and BTT would be able to distribute Chou's game to the people that they wanted to target with this game. BTT and Chou only verbally came to agreement in how the distribution contract would go and with this is where everything got messed up in the mix and neither one of the two followed up with an actual contract.

...equipment and resources needed to prepare students for and beyond the 21st century. For students to be prepared for the global workforce school must have an adequate amount of money to fund education. Many states use one of two types of student counts to determine how much money each school will receive. The two types of student counts that states use to distribute education funds are Average Daily Attendance, ADA, and Average Daily Membership, ADM. The purpose of this paper is to determine which student count would the writer of this paper use to distribute state funds generated by state tax dollars to all of the schools within the state. Understanding the difference between Average Daily Attendance and Average Daily Membership can assist one with determining how to distribute state funding for education. Quarterly, an average number of students who attend a particular school each day determines the school’s Average Daily Attendance. Any changes and adjustments to state funding for a school is fixed to reflect the changes in attendance, hence the reason why ADA is taken on a quarterly basis. If one is going to use ADA to distribute funds to school, that person has to keep in mind that the adjustment of funds can happen at any time of the school year that could impact the instruction of students in a positive...

...Assignment 2.1: The Public Needs to Know 8/01/13 Where do you turn when food stamps are not enough to cover your monthly food costs? Some go hungry while others depend on a local food pantry. “Food pantries are private emergency providers that gives bags or boxes of unprepared groceries to clients in varying amounts.” (Berner, Ozer, Paynter, 2008) Food pantries play a major part in the lives of those who are faced with hunger. They give out only enough food to last 3-4 days, however, every little bit helps. Economic, population, process, and benefits are all factors pertaining to food pantries. Food pantries rely on donations from local businesses and non-profit organizations. In the state of New Jersey a woman who started a food pantry at her church states, about 250-300 people would come each month to receive food. It was not gourmet dining (canned tuna, vegetables, tomatoes, spaghetti, rice, peanut butter, dried beans, and so on) but the people appreciated the gift and the church could manage the distribution with a handful of dedicated volunteers. (“Food Pantries, Poverty, and Social Justice”, 2010) Below is a picture showing bagged food ready for distribution. Donations from the state and federal government helped make it possible to help more families. It was stated that participation grew from 250-300 monthly to 2500-3000 monthly. “The federal subsidy made it possible to provide a more balanced supply and the pantry was able to obtain juices, chicken, turkeys...

...currently producing 11 units of health care and 16 units of education, the opportunity cost for producing 5 more units of education will be exactly the same using all of its resources on education. The country will produce 21 units of education and 7 units of health care. Even though a country will gain 5 more units of education they will lose 4 units of health care. Although, the production possibility curve does not tell who should receive which units, and in which increments they should receive them in, I would attempt to distribute the health care and education as evenly and in some cases as urgently as needed. I would choose to produce 21 units of education and 7 units of healthcare. My reasoning behind my decision is that with this production process I will get the most outcomes, totaling 28 units. When it comes to allocating education I would evenly distribute it throughout the country. However, when it comes to allocating healthcare, I wouldn’t distribute it as...
