5. What is lean six-sigma and how would you apply it to a quality management system?

Danny,
This is a great stride for the new age of learning in DL or distance learning. It will provide
resources to other universities and even high schools to use these resources to apply to
their learning criteria without having to spend mass amounts of money on robotics in
house for their students to learn. It will give these students something they probably never
had access to in the high school level. And they will even be able to control some of the
robots from the other side of the country. This is a new form of education which is a great
tool for them.
The administrator of the EPA, McCarthy, is defending the way that the administration is
handling the situation of the contaminated drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan. This is
a big problem that is affecting a whole community. The people is asking to the authorities
to fix the millions of contaminated pipes and they are requesting the money that they need
for that. I think that this is very serious problem that can come with another consequences
like deaseses and death. The residents of this community have to keep asking for
answers and protests so they can be heard.
