An Organic Chemistry Tutor - Essential Notes On The Origins Of These Compounds

An Organic Chemistry Tutor - Essential Notes On The Origins Of These CompoundsIf you are looking for an A.C. tutor, then you should consult the teacher of a science major who has taken an A.C. course. Whether you are taking it as a certificate course or as a diploma, as a part of a PhD program, there are many options. These are usually very comprehensive and offer a lot of insight into how chemistry actually works. It is this expertise that you can turn to when you want to become more adept at the subject.One of the most crucial lessons that you can take in organic chemistry is that of aromatic compounds. There are a number of possible sources for these compounds and some of them may surprise you. You may have been told that you were born with a particular set of chemical makeup. It may have been based on the type of soil that you were born into. Some of the compounds may even be genetically determined and you could perhaps trace them back to your grandmother.The fact is that aromati c compounds are all around us. They occur naturally in the air, the soil, our food and in some trace amount in our bodies. What is the importance of a theory that can explain the origins of some of these compounds? There is no doubt that there are specific steps that occur when an oxygen atom comes into contact with these compounds, but there are other steps as well.The good news is that we can learn about these steps in organic chemistry and in biology. This allows us to have a more complete understanding of what happens when the compound molecules combine with each other and when they react to one another. The process of making aromatic compounds is really very interesting.The good news is that these factors are so important that there is no way that we should go without learning more about them. This is because the combination of the different factors can lead to many possible results. These include chemical reactions that give rise to new chemicals, which then react with one ano ther, and finally lead to substances that look and act like the original compound molecules. Understanding how the compounds that you were brought up with come about is essential in making sense of some of the odder compounds you may encounter in nature.It is a real pity that we do not have a theory that explains such complexity. It is only through studying this complex topic that we can become much more familiar with the molecules that make up the universe. A good example of this is the aromatic molecule DMAE or di-methoxy-methanal.This compound has been studied for more than a long time. In fact, when I was in high school, we had a class that spent the entire summer studying this molecule. You might be interested in such courses because they are highly affordable, and they will give you a lot of insight into the history of these compounds.

Quick and Easy Reward Ideas for Busy Families

Quick and Easy Reward Ideas for Busy Families Rewards play an important role in helping kids with ADHD stay motivated and on track as they learn new behaviors or follow through on their daily behavior goals. Often when kids with ADHD dont follow through on a task or arent making an effort the way we might expect them to, its because they are struggling to overcome the difficulties with motivation that accompany ADHD. Rewards give them the boost that they need, but are only effective when they are provided immediately, consistently, and are something the child truly wants to earn. The difficulties that kids with ADHD have with delayed gratification make smaller daily rewards more effective than delayed rewards that take longer to earn. For busy families whose weekdays are jam packed with school, after-school activities, homework, appointments, tutoring, dinner, and hopefully a few minutes of family time, finding ways to consistently provide daily rewards is a challenge. Small trinkets or grab-bag style rewards are only motivating for a little while, and often end up creating clutter at home. Screen-time can be very motivating for many kids and its inexpensive, but its often problematic, especially if you have a child who gets upset when his or her screen time is over, or if parents are too busy in the evenings to effectively monitor time limits and media content. Ask kids an open-ended question about what they want to earn, and youll probably get a list of activities that are too time consuming or expensive to do regularly or tangible items that are expensive and would take much longer than one day to earn. Presenting your child with a list of daily rewards that he or she might enjoy can help him or her think outside of the box and focus his or her attention on coming up with rewards that are both feasible and motivating. From this list he or she can select top choices, or add additional options, and then use his or her selections to create a smaller reward menu. Every day when your child achieves his or her daily behavior goals, he or she can choose one item from the personalized reward menu. The list of quick and easy reward ideas below can be a good starting point. You may want to create your own refined list from this larger selection, based on what you think will be the best fit for your family. Just remember that kids preferences and interests change quickly, and you might be surprised to learn that something your child couldnt get enough of last week isnt even on his or her radar today! So, always involve your child in the final reward selection process. 20 Quick and Easy Reward Ideas Offer a later bedtime (5-10 minutes later) Read an extra book with a parent Make a 5-minute video of singing, dancing, telling jokes, etc. Hold a 5 or 10-minute phone call or video chat with a grandparent, other relative, or friend Choose the radio station in the car Offer a coupon to get out of doing a chore Choose a special treat for school lunch or snack Invite a friend to join a weekend activity or get together Offer a coupon for fun one-on-one time with a parent Let the dog or cat sleep in the bedroom Help plan or prepare favorite snack or meal Build a pillow fort in the living room Have a picnic-style dinner on a blanket in the living room or outside when the weather is nice Choose individual arts craft supplies (e.g., a tube of paint, one tub of Play-Doh, a sheet of stickers, a role of mini patterned Duck Tape, etc.) Download one song or short video Pick out a special outfit to wear to school Create funny hairstyles with hair gel or mouse for 5 minutes before a bath or shower Add a fizzy or bubbly colorful bath bomb or bubble bath to an evening bath Color pictures that can be used as placements during dinner Get to school 10 minutes early to play on the play structure (or stay 10 minutes after pick-up) ABOUT DR.

Filling The International Skills Gap, Together

Filling The International Skills Gap, Together Filling the International Skills Gap, Together Filling the International Skills Gap, Together July 21, 2015 By Emily Elliott Executive Director A recent commentary in Education Week by Christopher T. Cross made the case for rigorous educational standards in the United States. Under the banner “Common Core,” we have seen rigorous standards face some degree of controversy, but few would argue against holding a high bar of excellence for United States citizens, especially paired with statistics showing the U.S. is slipping in international metrics. Cross cites that the U.S. tied for last place of 22 nations in numeracy and ranked 20th in literacy in a recent study. He asks, “How will we assure the continuation of our democracy if citizens are unable to analyze complex information and data when they vote and participate in civic affairs?” A third grade Heart student learns the parts of numbers up to 10 through hands-on activities, under guidance of volunteer tutor. At Heart Math Tutoring we are sometimes asked by nervous volunteer recruits, “Is your curriculum… Common Core? or, ‘New Math’… or the new way of teaching?” We address these concerns by explaining that the math our volunteers deliver is so basic (counting, more vs. less, parts of numbers) that tutors won’t encounter the concepts that some parents have complained are overly complex in “the new Common Core.”   (Truly, anyone can deliver the lesson plans Heart Math Tutoring provides; sign up to tutor today.) However, this is a shortcut answer. The real answer is deeper and important to our citizenry: we need to consider that the “old school” way many of us were taught math does not actually foster number sense. At Heart, we hate that it is widely socially acceptable to declare, “I am not a math person” often followed by “give me a calculator, what is the tip” or a shared laugh over basic counting mistakes. Fortunately we have not gotten to this point in literacy; it would be rare to hear someone announce, “Oh, I’m just not a person who knows how to read.” One of our board members at Heart often suggests that adults who are good at math today likely are not that way because of their schooling but rather re-taught themselves how numbers work at an early age. In a New York Times Magazine article, “Why Do Americans Stink At Math?” Elizabeth Green shared the story of 12-year-old boys in Brazil who sell coconuts for 35 cruzeiros each and calculate total and change, but when they are presented with a written multiplication problem with a factor of 35, they are lost.   The article concludes that a cause of innumeracy is school itself. The good news is that regardless of how the familiar but “old school” teaching methods mess it up, the number system actually does make sense. At Heart we’ve learned from great educators who can break the concepts down and build up our nation’s numeracy skills. Cross tells us, “Parents must accept the fact that students today may well be taught math that is more advanced than what they learned in the past” and recommends that we “Agree that education needs to change to keep up with the needs of our economy and workforce-just because it was done one way in the past does not mean that is the right way now.” Cross closes with a final recommendation that rings loud: “Accept the fact that schools cannot go it alone. Communities are rich with resources that can help students prepare to learn and succeed. Schools should be seeking out their community partners.” When it comes to numeracy, many students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds are entering elementary school without the hands-on experience with numbers needed for true understanding and success in math. Working one-on-one and using Heart’s lesson plans, community volunteers can help students build understanding and meet the rigorous standards not only of K-12 education but also of our democracy and global economy. About Heart Math Tutoring Heart Math Tutoring is a math intervention program that recruits, trains, and supports volunteers to work as tutors in high-poverty elementary schools in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. Hundreds of community members spend one hour each week delivering Heart’s research-based, structured curriculum. Sign up today!

The Pros and Cons of Online Courses Outside of Your University

The Pros and Cons of Online Courses Outside of Your University Image via. https://pixabay.com/en/computer-laptop-technology-office-3368242/ Pro #1: Level of Difficulty Oftentimes, people will choose to take an online course offered by a community college, which is usually less difficult than an online course offered by a non-community college. I cannot stress enough that there is nothing wrong with attending a community college, I am just saying that the difficulty level is decreased when it comes to online courses. Most people take online courses in the summer, which means they are either using that time to relax or are working vigorously to make some cash. Either way, you don’t want to spend the warm summer days hunched over your laptop in your bedroom for hours on end. Online courses that aren’t offered through your school will allow you to have a better school-work to summertime activities balance. Con #1: Credit Transfer I can only speak from my own experiences with credit transferring from out-of-school online courses and it can truly be a nightmare. Even if you read the guidelines carefully and ensure that you are taking an online course at a credit-transferring school, you can still run into issues. To avoid this issue, schedule an appointment with your advisor and walk through everything with him/her. Ensure that all paperwork is filled out and keep all signatures, agreements, etc. in a safe place so that you have sufficient records and proof that you received the “OK” to transfer credit from an out-of-school online course. In addition, receive permission from the university that you are taking the course in to make sure that what you are learning in that course is mostly equivalent to what you would be learning at your own university. Image via. https://pixabay.com/en/laptop-woman-education-study-young-3087585/ Pro #2: Making Connections Taking an online class outside of your university will allow you to foster connections with different schools, different professors, and different students. If you are ever planning on going to graduate school or if you are trying to do some networking during your undergraduate career, taking a course through another university will allow you to get an amazing head start on this. For all you know your online course professor could open the door to you attending their institution for graduate school or maybe they can even write you a recommendation letter for your dream job and/or your dream school. Expand your horizons are try something new. You can come out of this course with a new appreciation for a different teaching style or a different subject matter. Allow online classes to open your eyes to amazing and new opportunities. Con #2: Fast-Paced Learning This con is actually true for any online course you may take (whether that be through your university or not). Online courses are always taken over a shorter period of time, but you will learn the same amount of material that you would learn in a semester-long course. If you have trouble with the fast-paced learning environment offered by online courses, either talk to your professor beforehand or reconsider taking an online course in general. If you still want to take the online class, write up a plan once you get the syllabus and make sure that you stick to it. Try to get ahead of your work (especially if your class takes place during a major event in the summer). As long as you’re willing to spend 3-4 hours a day for 4-6 weeks on your work, then you will be able to manage. Remember, it’s only for a short period of time and it will help you get ahead in credits so that you aren’t as stressed during the school year. Well, there you have it. A nice, digestible list of pros and cons of taking an online course outside of your university. If I were you, I would try to make the whole online course thing work because it does help you lessen your workload during the school year, which makes room for you to maybe graduate early or just have a more balanced and less stressful schedule. Just be sure to have all of your ducks in a row if you choose to take an online class through a different university. Happy summer and, to some, happy studying!

The 4 Best Cities For Startups Other Than San Francisco

The 4 Best Cities For Startups Other Than San Francisco Image via (Uplifted.net) Located nearest to Silicon Valley of all four cities, Seattle has a large and early influence from North California. Companies such as Starbucks and online retailer  Amazon  were initially established in the area. Connections to tech and entrepreneurial talent have produced many startup businesses. The state does not have an income tax, which is good for residents. Although the cost of living is high, income rates are reasonably high as well, making it a more affordable option than the San Francisco Bay area. Proximity to the Pacific Ocean and mountain ranges are always a welcome distraction from busy city life. Seattle’s welcoming community also offers original cafes, reading gatherings, and massive public fountains to cool off in the summer. Austin Image via (Uplifted.net) Texas likes big, and so does Austin. The state’s capital is home to young adults and entrepreneurs who enjoy the nightlife, music festivals and outdoor fitness. The city promotes itself as the “live music capital of the world” for its many music venues and concerts, as well as “Silicon Hills” for its increasing presence of tech companies. Residents unofficially adopt the slogan “Keep Austin Weird” to describe the diverse and accepting crowd. Innovation-influencing festival South by Southwest is a major attraction to tech developers and investors, film producers and critics, and up-and-coming and well-known artists. Stephanie Walden reports that the city “ranked first in the Kauffman Foundation’s Startup Activity Index for 2015.” The city also solves San Francisco’s issue of affordability with its low rent rates and real estate pricing. Baltimore Image via (Uplifted.net) The northeast city of Baltimore has seen major growth over the last couple of years. The initial industrially-employing town is looking to transition into a tech economy. The Downtown Partnership of Baltimore is also incentivizing startups and companies with $10,000 grants through the TechConnect program to move into the city’s center. Its location is the perfect business center for startups and companies. The attraction of the harbor and proximity to other businesses has interested established companies like American Technology Services that are now opening offices in the center of the city. Miami Image via (Uplifted.net) If you’re seeking a complete change of environment, South Florida’s white sand beaches and endless nightlife offer a fun atmosphere for entrepreneurs. The city’s downtown region is renovating its buildings and creating workspaces for potential startups to launch. Perhaps the biggest incentive for companies is that the state of Florida does not impose many taxes such as income, property, or investment taxes. Miami is also rich in Latino and Caribbean culture with globally-influenced food spots, modern and urban art and entertainment.
