Each has selected a different university now; they will be in several different states, but they will somehow manage to keep in touch. They will write, they will continue to phone, they will discover Internet. I am looking forward to hearing about their continued progress. These students represent the upper 3% of their schools; several are National Merit Scholars. These young people have not always had an easy time with public education. I spite of their intelligence, creativity, and curiosity, many of their teachers have labeled them as difficult and challenging students. Perhaps they have been --- I hope they will continue to be. An essential component of the gifted curriculum in the Kettering city schools is the Future Problem Solving Program. This six-step method offers opportunity for research, creativity, and critical thinking. We have been fortunate in Kettering to achieve

  • Kenny G G Series
    Kenny G G Series “I approach everything in life the same way; if it feels right, I know it.” —Kenny G Synopsis Born in Seattle, Washington, in 1956, saxophonist Kenny G began playing professionally at the age of 17, when he perform. After several years of playing with other musicians, Kenny G released his self-titled debut album. He rose to international fame with his 1986 release Duotones. Since then, Kenny G has become one of the most popular instrumental musicians in history. Early Years Grammy Award–winning saxophonist Kenny G was born Kenneth Bruce Gorelick on June 5, 1956, in Seattle, Washington. The son of Jewish parents, Kenny G grew up in Seattle’s Seward Park neighborhood, the center of the city’s Jewish community. He took an early interest in music and began playing the saxophone at the age of 10. In his teens he continued on with the instrument while falling in love with the R&B sounds of groups like Earth Wind & Fire that were so popular during the 1970s. In 1973, at just 17 years old, Kenny G was hired by Barry White to perform with his Love Unlimited Orchestra at the Paramount Northwest Theater. The performance was the first of several for Kenny G with White and his band. It was around the time he started playing with White that the saxophonist changed his name to Kenny G. Following his graduation from Franklin High School, Kenny G followed two very different career tracks. He enrolled at the University of Washington and began studying accounting, while continuing to pursue a career in music.

  • Kenny G Bio 2018
    A phenomenally successful instrumentalist whose recordings routinely made the pop, R&B, and jazz charts during the 1980s and ’90s, Kenny G‘s sound became a staple on adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio stations. He’s a fine player with an attractive sound (influenced a bit by Grover Washington, Jr.) who often caresses melodies, putting a lot of emotion into his solos. Because he does not improvise much (sticking mostly to predictable melody statements), his music largely falls outside of jazz. However, because he is listed at the top of “contemporary jazz” charts and is identified with jazz in the minds of the mass public, he is classified as jazz. Kenny Gorelick started playing professionally with Barry White‘s Love Unlimited Orchestra in 1976. He recorded with Cold, Bold & Together (a Seattle-based funk group) and freelanced locally. After graduating from the University of Washington, Kenny G worked with Jeff Lorber Fusion, making two albums with the group. Soon he was signed to Arista, recording his debut as a leader in 1982. His fourth album, Duotones(which included the very popular “Songbird”), made him into a star. Soon he was in demand for guest appearances on recordings of such famous singers as Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, and Natalie Cole. Kenny G’s own records have sold remarkably well, particularly Breathless, which has easily topped eight million copies in the U.S.; his total album sales top 30 million copies. The holiday album Miracles, released in 1994, and 1996’s Moment continued the momentum of his massive commercial success. He also recorded his own version of the Celine Dion/Titanic smash “My Heart Will Go On” in 1998, but the following year he released Classics in the Key of G, a collection of jazz standards like “‘Round Midnight” and “Body and Soul,” possibly to reclaim some jazz credibility.

This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks. In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced.

  • History Thesis Kinnen
    “The Wild, Wild West”: Historical Causes and Failed Promises of the Ohio Charter School Movement Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with research distinction in History in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Kat Kinnen The Ohio State University April 2020 Project Advisor: Dr. Clayton Howard, Department of History Kinnen !1 Introduction: Charter Schools in Ohio In 1992, Ohio Governor George Voinovich issued an executive order to create the Governor’s Commission on Educational Choice. According to David L. Brennan, Akron businessman and eventual charter school sponsor, the commission was not created to debate school choice, rather suggest how Ohio could implement such plans. By this time, talks of educational choice and marketization of schools were sweeping the nation, but this commission was unique. Whereas national politics championed school choice and the privatization of public education for increased parent involvement, community control, or the importance of small government, this Commission emphasized using markets to improve schooling for low income students.1 Republican Senator Cooper Snyder and chairman of the Senate Education Committee said that the commission was just one of the governor’s proposals to make significant changes in Ohio’s education system, following attacks from ‘poor schools’ for being inequitable.2 Voinovich would not officially endorse charter school legislation for another three years, and the first Ohio charter school would not be opened until 1997. The intent of the commission to study charter schools as an equalizing reform measure shows equity to be a primary focus of school choice reform in Ohio.
