Acids (YOU ARE HARMLESS) (Science Poem)

2012-03-02T20:58:00.000-08:00

Acids (YOU ARE HARMLESS)

You are harmless like a baby

Although you have a sour taste

You are innocent

Safety you represent

Although you turn blue litmus paper red

You may be mild and non-toxic

You are a good electrical conductor

You are non-addictive

You are inoffensive

You have pH values less than seven

I need you in my life

You react with active metals to produce hydrogen gas

You are acceptable

You are unobjectionable

You react with carbonates to produce carbon dioxide gas

HIBISCUS BLOSSOM (Poem)

2012-03-01T18:31:00.000-08:00

HIBISCUS BLOSSOM

Ballet dancer moving in the wind,

Showing her beauty, throughout the day,

In the area of her dwelling,

With her stalk legs, movements she displays.

Possessing cup-shaped, pelvic girdle,

Above the trunk, her stalk legs below,

With colour of green, that’s visible,

In forested region of willow.

Having a dress, of fine texture,

Trumpet shaped petals of red or white,

Splendid quality, of the dancer,

With bright colour, an attractive sight.

Shaking her head with hair of pollen,

From swaying side to side, just dancing

With her stalk thorax and abdomen

The good dancer portrays her dancing.

Canary (Poem)

2012-02-23T01:59:00.000-08:00

CANARY

Locked up within bars, my pet companion

Imprisoned in your world, with so much song

Bright yellow, you are so full of mellow

With musical notes of harmony

A sweet sound of a sincere melody

From vibrations of your silvery string

With this gentle sound of a vibrant ring

Whistling through the air, in your caged prison

Chanting away a soft sweet cheerful tune

Songs of an opera forever merry

Each day, making me so very happy

BEDTIME

Night sprawls within his body

The earth a sleepy man lies

Under blanket sheets of shadows

Wearing his nightgown to sleep

Silently at rest, he sinks in his mattress

His snore the whispering of the swaying trees

Breaths of night wind, in his nocturnal whistle

Chloroplasts (Poem)

Chloroplasts (the wait)

Looking at the stars up in the sky

I linger throughout the night wondering why

You have tiny disc- like structures

I pause to move on in hesitation

I sit there waiting in frustration

For your green chlorophyll

Waiting for your lovely return

This kind of delay feels like a burn

Without your photosynthesis

A postponement of my love

Under the starry sky above

I halt to take a deep breath now and then

Feeling weak; not strong like a thousand men

Under the billions of stars I will stay

A hold up until the light of day

Introduction To CXC Business SBA Part3 (Description Of The Business)

2012-01-12T19:11:00.000-08:00

THE DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

ALL business plans are vital to show:

The name of the business e.g. Lubin Advertising Agency.

The name should be simple to say, and should ignite interest, and grab the awareness of the reader.

2. In a few words show who owns the business, and how the thought for the business came about, e.g. your particular wellbeing, skills or credentials.

What is the legal position of the business? Is it a sole trader, partnership, private limited company, public limited company…?
Does the business have limited or unlimited liability?
Summarize what the type of liability means for the owner of the business.

Why was the business created? What are the business’ objectives?

The objectives may be bulleted and a short clarification should go with the statement e.g.

To make a profit: Given the current market status the business predicts a 40% profit in its first 2 years of operation.

A business should operate with a:

Mission Statement or a
Vision Statement.

The Mission Statement states precisely the aims of the business and helps keep the workers of the business on task. It also clearly tells the customers what the business stands for and should facilitate them to understand your ethics and build customer faithfulness.

The Vision Statement tells clearly what your business expects to achieve in the medium or long time period.

2. The private sector is that component of the economy that is owned by private people, individuals or a private business.

3.Market forces of demand and supply decide prices and the distribution of resources.

4. The private sector chooses what goods are produced, how, and for whom through the price system. It is largely in charge of distributing resources. It permits the progress of capital and labour to where they are most cost-effective.

5 Businesses established in the private sector are sole traders, partnerships, public and private liability companies, credit unions, and non-profit organisations.

6 In the private sector profit is the motivating power.

7.The public sector aims to adjust and lay down fair trading principles in the private sector. It aims to look after consumers in opposition to monopoly enterprises and wasteful competition. It makes sure certain goods are provided for consumers, e.g. roads.

Latitude and Longitude Lines

2012-01-08T06:48:00.000-08:00

Latitude and Longitude Lines

When viewing a map, latitude lines run horizontally. Latitude lines are parallel lines and they are equaled distant from each other. Each degree of latitude is about 69 miles (111 km) apart; there is a slight variation because the earth is not a perfect sphere. Degrees latitude are numbered from 0° to 90° north and south. At Zero degrees you have the equator; this imaginary line divides our planet into the northern and southern hemispheres. At 90° north you have the North Pole and 90° south you have the South Pole.

The longitude lines are vertical lines also known as meridians. They come together at the poles and are widest at the equator (about 69 miles or 111 km apart). Zero degrees longitude is located at Greenwich, England (0°). The degrees continue 180° east and 180° west where they get together and form the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean.

How Latitude and Longitude Work Together

To accurately locate points on the earth's surface, degrees longitude and latitude have been separated into minutes (') and seconds ("). There are 60 minutes in each degree. Each minute is divided into 60 seconds. Seconds can be then divided into tenths, hundredths, or even thousandths. For example, St Lucia lies between 60° 53' and 61° 05' West longitude and 13°43' and 14°05' North latitude.

Nature and role of a management information system (MIS) its benefits and challenges

Definition: Management Information Systems (MIS) is the name given to the area directed to the integration of computer systems with the goals and purposes of an organisation.

The growth and management of information technology gear helps the workforce in performing any jobs associated with the handling of information. MIS systems are mainly valuable in the spread of business data and the production of reports to be used as apparatus for decision making.

1. A good MIS is precise, well-timed, comprehensive, significant both in structure and content and accessible when required.

2. The mechanisms of a MIS are managers, their information requirements, data origins, the data pool, information and decision.

3. Benefits of MIS are: it saves time, money and labour; there is improvement in production and marketing practices; it also improves competitiveness and profit margins.

Challenges of an MIS system, for example:

(i) There is the cost of setting up and maintaining (establishment, maintenance and security);

(ii) There is the cost of training (human resource development)

(iii) There is also human error causing discrepancies.

FAITH (MY PRAYER)

Fill me with your faith, my only creator

Praying to you my knees are pleased to soar

For you are the one way, you are the light

Give me the faith to be yours day and night

My world is hollow as an abyss

Fill it with the faith that I know exists

To lift up mountains, to walk on the sea

Relieve sinful pains, not to deny thee

To heal the sick, to let the blind ones see

As faithful as fair weather is my plea

For we the world’s people, your creation

Faith is the life and the resurrection

My words true as the gospel that I breathe

My faith is not to see, but to believe

As faithful to be, as a liberal sun

Heaven is my place, faith will make me strong

You are not as weak as water

Employing hundreds of people

You are not secondary

You are not subsidiary

Because you are highly structured

With a Managing Director

And a Board of Directors all over

They say all of your tasks

Are not second-class

With functions performed by various departments

You are as strong as a wall

You are not menial

With each department dealing with a particular function

You are not subordinate

You are just great

With each person in your department a specialist

You are not tawdry

You are not shoddy

You are not mediocre

Not always feeling poor

You are not indifferent

Body Systems

2011-12-18T06:17:00.000-08:00

Body Systems

Circulatory system

The circulatory system is the body's carrying system. It is made up of a group of organs that transport blood throughout the body. The heart pumps the blood whiles the arteries and veins transfer it.

Digestive System

The digestive system is made up of organs that break down food which the body needs for liveliness, development, and restore. Once food is chewed and swallowed, it goes down the esophagus and enters the stomach. There it is broken down by prevailing stomach acids. After the stomach the food travels into the small intestine. This is where your food is broken down and enters the bloodstream.

Endocrine System

The endocrine system is made up of a group of glands that create the body's hormones. Hormones are chemicals that manage body functions, such as metabolism, growth, and sexual development. The glands, which include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, thymus gland etc.. discharge hormones directly into the bloodstream, which carries the hormones to organs and tissues all through the body.

Immune System

The immune system is our body's protection system against infections and diseases. Organs, tissues, cells, and cell products work collectively to counter treacherous organisms (like viruses or bacteria) and substances that may come into the body from the surroundings.

Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system is also a protection system for the body. It gets rid of organisms that cause disease; it produces white blood cells, and creates disease-fighting antibodies. This system is made up of a system of vessels that help move body fluids.

MY STRENGTH

My strength,

The coming of a new day

With brightness of a morning star

I am a sun to enlighten your world

The love of cupid in my hands

Show me your love and your care

Make me strong

My strength,

The singing of a choir

From an orchestra chirruping strong

Chanting on to enlighten your life

Live in joy and not in sorrow

As the melody plays on

Make me strong

That strength,

Oh, the might of Hercules

Give me your burden and be free

Share your love with me, on which I build

A birth of light for just you

Make me strong

air

Air supports life

Like a husband supporting a wife

It allows fire to burn

On its own

It keeps our Earth from getting

Too hot or too cold within

It causes changes in

The weather we are experiencing

Air is a mixture

Its composition

Varies from place to place and

Time to time

Its constituents can be

Separated easily

By fractional distillation

No chemical reaction

Takes place when air is formed

By mixing

Its constituent

Gases

It has the properties

Of its constituent gases

Love Poem

2011-12-07T10:48:00.000-08:00

TEARS

From a swollen earth, sadness is water

The taste of a broken heart, tears are a sea

Run from a lover, salt streams like a river

His cry from heaven, like the voice of thunder

For her love, he wails a lachrymose plea

From a swollen earth, sadness is water

A broken heart moulded, tears of crystals meandered

Lamented love, rain from thy orb of thee

Run from a lover, salt streams like a river

Memories of the past, in misery he pondered

Of his true love, his only remedy

From a swollen earth, sadness is water

An endless flow from the eyes of a beggar

Pour out the grief, he longs to set free

Run from a lover, salt streams like a river

Roll down, drops of the admirer

To stop, her love is his key

From a swollen earth, sadness is water

Run from a lover, salt streams like a river

Metaphor (Poem)

METAPHOR

You compare one thing to another

Like the simile; makes things similar

The moon is a silver coin in the sky

The helicopter is a dragon fly

Some say you are an analogy

Some say you are an allegory;

The hurricane winds are a pit-bull

The sandpaper he has is steel wool

You are the figure of speech

And symbolism you teach;

His belly is a big drum

The white glue is chewing gum
