The Basics of Turkey Chemistry

The Basics of Turkey ChemistryTurkey Chemistry is a simple and easy to play game. It is a new game from Gametrix that lets you determine the fate of any food item before it goes into your dinner plate. You can play as either the hapless or the clever chef. The basic idea behind this game is that you must not allow the food to spoil before you are ready to eat it.If you are like me, then you have your own set of kitchen tools lying around. If you are anything like me, you probably do not have the skills to cook one of those food items that you know will be in the fridge quite a while. In other words, you know that the turkey is going to be in there for a while, so the idea behind this game is that you must create your own set of solutions to help the turkey.As for the mechanics of the game, well it is relatively simple. The object of the game is to create a solution to keep the turkey from going bad. For each piece of turkey that you cook, you will have to add a solution to keep it fr om spoiling. The only way to make the solution last is to ensure that the turkey stays out of the refrigerator for a sufficient amount of time.There are a couple of things that you will need to get started, which are two containers and blue squares. The blue squares are what you will pour the solution into. The first thing that you will want to do is take one of the blue squares and place it in the container. Next, you will want to mix in the solution on the container with a little water.The last step is to add the liquid and make sure that you completely cover the square with the solution. Finally, you will want to put the lid on the container and shake it well. This will begin the game and your goal is to see how long you can make the solution last.Each time that you create a solution, the game will change and you will be presented with a different solution. After you get the hang of it, you may find that you are creating more solutions than you have available squares. In this cas e, you will want to use the slow motion option to check how many solutions you have available and how much time you have left.At this point, the game will have changed to a timed mode and you will need to find some friends to play this game with. Playing with a friend is even better because you do not have to wait for a single piece of food to go bad before you can move on to the next one. The only thing that you will need to worry about is that you must always use the slow motion option. This way, you will not have to add a bunch of extra liquid to the solution and make it last as long as possible.The great thing about this game is that you will never get bored. You will constantly be faced with new situations and you will be compelled to look for new solutions.

Updates Changes to the Teaching System

Updates Changes to the Teaching System Are you interested in getting online language lessons or speaking practice? Weve made some important updates to the website that we hope will make it easier to find a teacher that suits your needs! We are separating our Language Teachers into Community Tutors and Professional Teachers. Secondly, we will divide the services which are provided into formal Language Lessons, Speaking Practice, and Language Exchange. What has changed? * Weve made a new menu for the website that will make it easier to pick a service Language Lessons, Speaking Practice, Language Exchange (and of course Answers, Notebook, and Groups) * We have new profiles for Users, Teachers, and Tutors. Now you can make it clearer what youre looking for, whether it is a Chinese language exchange partner or a teacher to practice English. * We have a simplified rating system for teachers * We have made it easier to contact other users, particularly teachers and tutors What Teacher Service should I choose? If you wish to just focus on speaking practice or getting help on your homework, then you can take a session with our Community Tutors. A Community Tutor is generally a native speaker of the language, but does not work as a teacher or have formal training as a teacher. A Community Tutor is great for people who are already taking lessons offline, or are intermediate / advanced level. Many Community Tutors also prepare in-depth lessons like Professional Teachers. Professional Teachers are able to give formal language lessons, and teach you how to learn all aspects of a foreign language. Professional teachers are trained in a teaching method, and can provide a structured approach to learning. Professional Teachers are necessary for beginner level students, and are a faster way to progress for advanced and intermediate level students. For any questions about these upcoming changes, please check out the italki support forum or email support@italki.com.

Wait ... Everyone Cant Donate Blood

Wait ... Everyone Cant Donate Blood floridapolitics.com According to a statement made by the bank: “The blood center is at full capacity and is asking donors to help over the next several days to help replenish the blood supply … Thousands of people packed our donor centers and blood drives eager to donate and help replenish the blood supply. Your immediate response to help patients in need was unprecedented and remarkable.” According to Orlando Health, “We have experienced a huge outpouring of support. Local blood banks have over 600 units of blood on hand, which is more than usual as a result of all the donations.” Still, with all of this support, there was also serious controversy. It happened when individuals learned that restrictions barring sexually active, gay men from donating blood still stood, even after such a tragedy. People turned to social media to express their anger at this ban, as the attack at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando was a direct hit to the LGBT community, and certain members of said community were now completely helpless in its aftermath. In some select postings across social media, this anger was conveyed: OUT Magazine stated, “Shocking: Gay bisexual blood donations STILL restricted after #Orlando massacre.” Jared Polis, a congressman who identifies as gay, stated, “There’s an urgent need for blood donors in Orlando. Gay men still can’t donate.” But what are the reasons for such a ban? In all honesty, these restrictions have been kept in place for the safety of the public, including the victims of the Orlando shooting. According to the FDA, these restrictions are not meant to be discriminatory, but are meant to prevent a virus known to cause AIDS out of blood donations. Therefore, men who have had sex with another man within the past year aren’t able to donate. While this guideline has been softened in the past, it still stands, and for good reason. Prior to screening for HIV, the disease was spread through blood donations. At the end of 2001, according to NBC News, “more than 14,000 people became infected with HIV through blood transfusions, many of them children. Experts estimate that the risk of being infected with HIV if you get a contaminated blood transfusion is 90 percent.” And because one blood donation will typically go to about three recipients, this is a big deal. And even more important, early infections aren’t detectable in tests for the disease. So the ban stands, and there are more exclusions than just gay men. Sex workers, drug users that use injections, those who’ve recently gotten a tattoo and those at risk for the Zika virus are also turned away at blood banks. But why gay men specifically? These men, specifically in Southern regions, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have a 30 percent HIV infection rate, African-American men with a 50 percent lifetime risk of HIV. These numbers could be the result of a number of explanations, a majority of which is a failure to be tested and unsafe sex practices. So with numbers like these, the ban on gay men’s donations stands. Of course, that isn’t to say that the ban is universally accepted. Some experts claim the year-long time period is too long (tests now can actually show results within a few days of infection). According to OneBlood, donations make it to recipients within a three day period, and the bank isn’t up to date with the FDA’s guidance, meaning any man that has ever had sex with another man isn’t eligible to donate, completely negating the one year rule. While restrictions like this feel discriminatory and certainly send a bad message to those that don’t understand the statistics, the CDC and FDA stand by them, at least for now, as the blood supply is nearly free of HIV since the ban was put in place. Now, the risk for infection is about one in 1.5 million. These are much more manageable odds. Still, this causes problems when national tragedies, such as the recent tragedy that struck Orlando, call for help. Many Americans want to help, some of which are now unable, whether they want to or not. And for those that are able, only about 10 percent will actually help by donating. (This statistic rises quite a bit in the wake of disasters, but nonetheless, numbers aren’t nearly as high as they could be.) So for anyone eligible to help, it’s time to do your part. Visit the Red Cross website to find blood drives in your area even if you aren’t native to Orlando, there is always a need for blood donations. You never know when or where the next disaster will hit. According to the Red Cross, “Today’s tragedy illustrates that it’s the blood already on the shelves that helps during an emergency.”

Tutoring Without a Tutor Speaker

Tutoring Without a Tutor SpeakerTo get better at tutoring there are some things you need to work on before taking a professional tutor as a student. So many times I've found myself with a student who is a trouble maker, who doesn't want to take a lesson or not listen to the instructions.We all know that the student in front of you in class has probably never been tutored, so now they're looking for someone to guide them. I had a very good student who was smart and had no patience with 'old people'. He told me in advance, that he didn't care for having a teacher, and that he wasn't going to be one.How do you get your tutoring students to listen to you? In most cases I've found it's because you're the only one they trust. In fact, this could be your biggest obstacle, because you aren't the teacher they're searching for. You don't actually teach them anything.By teaching yourself and learning your profession you'll be more successful at teaching them. So ask yourself if this is you, how do you fit in your lesson plan with them? I've found that in most cases, the student has a vision of their own, and you must go along with it.The other obstacle to my tutoring success was that I was a little weird, and I knew the student already had an idea of what to expect when they came to a lesson. I'd ask them questions, but they'd answer them badly. That's because I didn't believe them. However, I had their mindset, so I had to try to persuade them to a point where they did believe me.One main thing to remember is that you have to stay open minded. This doesn't mean you have to be just 'grinning and having fun' all the time. The attitude you have toward the students is going to help you as a tutor.If you don't like to be told what to do, and find your students pretty self-centered, then don't be afraid to tell them so. Just remember, you're the teacher, not the student, so don't give up if they don't act the way you would want them to.

That said, this isn’t necessarily true as more and more people are tutoring as a full-time job.Make sure to evaluate your student's progress. (Source: Free-Photos)Of course, private tutoring is a better-paid student job than working in retail. However, we don’t always know exactly how to put our ideas into practice and plan a lesson that will help the student the get the most out of the time they spend with their tutor.Preparing lessons is an essential part of providing quality private tutorials to both individuals and groups.In fact, the goal of academic support is to refocus students who are struggling during the school year, motivate them, and give them more time to get the most out of educational resources. That’s not all, though.If a student contacts you immediately for private tutorials to help them study for an exam, improve in a subject they’re struggling in, learn a language, or catch up with lessons they’ve missed, you’re going to have to plan your lessons for that particular learner.At this point, you won’t really know the student’s level or what kind of teaching strategies you can use. You should consider doing a level test with the student, getting to know them, and seeing what teaching and learning styles they'd prefer.The internet is a useful resource for finding exercises for your new student to do. A quick online search will provide you with a plethora of websites with worksheets, lesson plans, and activities for your students to do.For younger se condary school subjects, you’re going to have to ensure that your lessons are fun, engaging, instructional, and take place in active learning environments where students participate in a series of tasks and learning activities that make use of their thinking skills. After all, struggling students don’t want their lessons to feel like school, they want to have fun and be taught in a different way to school.  For example, teachers often try to make maths more interesting and demonstrate how these concepts can be applied in the real world.Tutors can ask the student’s parents which particular topics they’re struggling with beforehand.  Between each lesson throughout the year, here are some of the steps you should follow for preparing your lessons:Prepare a review of the previous tutorialElaborate on the key concepts (elicit definitions, examples, create mind maps, etc.) Prepare a list of exercises (maths problems, vocabulary lists, conversation topics for conversation classes, e tc.)Dedicate part of the class to teaching theory.Create a list of questions designed to test the students’ understanding of the topics covered.Teaching several students at once means that you have to get the students to cooperate. You need to get them to work in groups, correct one another, and invite them to think about their answers.  The objective for each student in private tutorials is to no longer require them.Do you know how much you should charge  for private tutorials?What Resources Do You Need to Plan Private Group Tutorials?Don’t show up to a lesson empty-handed.  It’s important the classroom has the necessary equipment to teach:A table or twoChairsA boardDictionariesTextbooksProjectorA computer connected to the internetYour classes need to take place in an appropriate setting. (Source: Skitterphoto)You also need to ensure that the classroom or wherever you’re teaching is well-lit, calm, and clean.  Normally, group classes organised by agencies will take place in the agency’s own classrooms.The teacher should also take care of their own appearance, too.  It probably seems obvious, but a teacher needs to look impeccable as students will notice if you don’t.  In every country in the world, especially in western cultures, beauty and image is at the forefront and your appearance could harm your tutoring business if you aren’t well-presented.  Make sure that you’re groomed, clean, and smiling when you first meet students and parents as you only have one chance to make a first impression.  It may seem stupid, but that’s just the way things are.Additionally, a good firm handshake goes a long way. It’s a sign of confidence and a non-verbal sign that you’re someone to be trusted and a competent teacher.  Finally, make sure you dress appropriately for the type of lesson you're going to be teaching.Make sure you're appropriately dressed. (Source: Free-Photos)Sociologists have been very clear that the way you behave and look has a massive bearing on people perceive you. Posture and gestures are fundamental because they act as a mirror of the habitus, a concept in psychology and sociology that describes the inherent behaviours of social classes and individuals.Finally, here's some advice for tutors to get off on the right foot:Create a positive learning environment: immediately correcting students errors can be harmful to their motivation.Encourage the group: congratulate students for good results. Regularly evaluating students will allow you to create more opportunities during the learning experience to reward them for a good outcome.Illustrate with examples: this stimulates memory and makes things easier to remember.Play a guessing game: use questions to check that the students have learnt the key points of the lesson.A guessing game can show you whether or not the students have grasped certain concepts just by asking them some simple questions about the definitions of certain topics.Where should group tutorials ta ke place?Check out our article on where you can teach group tutorials.What Group Lessons Should EntailSo you’ve got your materials and you’ve arrived at your class, now what?Whether you’re teaching 2, 4, 5, 8, or 10 students, you need to ensure each student concentrates for the whole hour.  Whether it’s an English, geography, history, science, or foreign language lessons, each lesson needs to be seamless, engaging, and educational.We didn’t say it was going to be easy. However, you need to be aware that the students won’t be able to constantly learn and concentrate for an hour and a half or two hours.  That’s why we recommend a small break at the end of each activity so the students can relax.Here’s how a typical group class could go:Recalling the previous lesson.Introducing the resources that are going to be used in the session (texts, graphs, visual resources, audio or videos, etc.).Exercises and practical work (in pairs or small groups).Discussing problems that ar ose and ways of solving them.Applying lessons learnt during the exercises.Error correction.Setting homework for the next session.There are plenty of interesting teaching techniques you can use as an educator in both private individual and group tutorials to promote cooperative learning and engage your students in their own cognitive development.The tutor needs to ensure that they’re transferring knowledge to their student by allowing them to discover things for themselves, giving them the opportunities, resources, and drive to do so.Make sure that students are provided with engaging activities. (Source: mikesween)Jean Piaget (1896-1980), the founder of genetic epistemology, left his mark on child development and learning.  For him, teaching theory in class isn’t enough for the individual to assimilate new knowledge and master it. It’s better to use tried and tested teaching approaches such as applying knowledge, experimentation, and demonstration.For struggling students gettin g academic support for foreign languages or science, for example, you need to give them the drive to learn by using interesting resources and approaches.  Students can choose which activities they want to do for the amount of time they want to do them, for example.You need to give them the choice of several activities and get them involved in their own learning. Make sure that you regularly assess the effectiveness of different instructional strategies and involve the student in improving them.If you're interested in teaching groups, why not create your own tutor profile on Superprof?You can offer individual tutorials, online tutorials via webcam, or group tutorials. There are plenty of advantages to teaching private tutorials. By searching a subject and a place, potential students will be able to find you easily!

5 Ways to Trick Your Brain into Beating Procrastination

5 Ways to Trick Your Brain into Beating Procrastination Sign up successful 2) Start with something you know. It’s quite difficult to actually start working when there are so many more tantalizing things you could be doing! By reviewing material that you already know first, you’re easing your brain  and mindset into studying, and you’ll be less likely to procrastinate. Plus, you’ll give yourself a nice confidence boost! 3) Set a time limit. If you really want to watch TV or play a video game, then set some manageable time limits for yourself. Set a timer and commit to studying for 40 minutes non-stop, and then reward yourself with a 20-minute study break to do whatever you’d like to do. Using a timer will ensure that you stay productive and on task. 4) Break down your assignment into steps. Don’t think of the whole big picture for your assignment this can make it feel overwhelming. Instead, divert your attention to breaking down the assignment into manageable pieces. If you’re studying for a World History midterm, for example, study one culture (like the US) one day and another (Africa) on the next day. By breaking it down into smaller pieces, the challenge at hand will seem less scary, and you’ll be less likely to succumb to procrastination. 5) Plan a study schedule with a reward system. If you have trouble with beating procrastination, then reward yourself for each and every hour of work in which you stay on task. If you have a tangible reward waiting for you at the end, you will be more motivated to work harder and faster to earn your prize. If you don’t trust yourself to stick with the program, have a parent, tutor, or trusted friend dish out your reward. If someone else holds you accountable, this can also help you succeed. Implementing these five tips into your daily study routine will help you become more productive, successful, and procrastination-free in no time!
