2014 Case - Factors Impacting Quality of HS Education in NYCTyrone Scott
This document summarizes a case study on factors impacting the quality of high school education in New York City from the perspective of students. It discusses the achievement gap between black/Hispanic and white students, issues with standardized testing and Common Core, school segregation, and challenges with school admissions processes and zoning. Students contributed research on specific topics like the education gap, standardized testing, school ratings, teacher unions, and charter schools. The case calls on teams to propose solutions to close various gaps and address segregation in NYC schools.
Akram Elhenawy believes the mining industry in Africa is increasingly interested in renewable energy solutions as storage solutions improve. Remote mines in Africa currently rely on diesel generators but renewables are becoming more financially attractive due to fluctuating diesel prices and issues with logistics, security, and maintenance costs. While mining companies have been conservative about new technologies, investments in renewables in countries like Chile show they can reduce costs and improve competitiveness. For renewables to truly take off in Africa, reliable long-term partnerships must be established between mining operators and energy providers to guarantee system performance over the lifetime of mines.

This lesson aims to improve descriptive writing skills by using sound effects like onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia are words that imitate sounds, such as purr, roar, and moo. Examples are provided of onomatopoeic words that could describe various scenarios involving breaking glass, vacuuming, fishing, cooking sausages, chalk on a board, a fire, a boiling kettle, a cat drinking milk, eating crisps, hitting a tennis ball, walking through mud, and a rocket taking off. The lesson also introduces alliteration, which is the repetition of initial sounds in words near each other, and provides examples like "the sun shines softly." Students will work in groups to write
The document discusses McDonald's branding elements, core brand values, and how it has leveraged its brand equity over the years. McDonald's brand values of being family-friendly and affordable initially drove its expansion but later it changed its menu and strategy to stay relevant as consumer health consciousness increased. McDonald's was able to grow its share price even during recessions by making affordable additions to its menu that appealed to changing tastes while still working within its core values. Potential future risks include changing consumer appetite away from fast food, lack of uniqueness, brand cannibalization by cheap items, and perceptions of boring food.
This document defines adjectives and discusses their types, placement, comparative and superlative forms, and participial forms. Adjectives describe or modify nouns and answer questions about qualities, size, number, age, temperature, measurement, color, nationality, or substance. They can be placed before or after nouns and non-action verbs. Comparatives show comparison between two nouns while superlatives compare three or more nouns using "the". Present participles end in "-ing" and past participles end in "-ed".

It discusses using "had" plus the past participle form of verbs to talk about actions that occurred before other past actions or states. Examples are given of affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences using the past perfect. Exceptions to spelling rules when adding "-ed" are also listed.
