Children and Tutoring - Choosing the Right Tutor For Your Child

Children and Tutoring - Choosing the Right Tutor For Your ChildIf you have a child or adult who has grown up, you can expect that they will likely find themselves having some responsibility for their own education. It is for this reason that you should consider some of the many tutoring responsibilities that will arise as you continue your own education. Here are a few suggestions to help you handle your own child's tutoring. Here are some tips on how to choose the right tutor for your child.One of the first things that you will want to do is set up an appropriate time to discuss your decision with your child. They will appreciate knowing how you arrived at your decision, and they will likely be open to it. It is important that you have a fair amount of information before you discuss this decision. It is also important that you come to an agreement.You will probably have to decide a bit about how much the tutor will teach your child. This can really be a decision that you should addr ess with your child before they start teaching. You will want to discuss how many hours will be required, and if they will need to take a break from teaching the child once every week.Once you have determined the amount of tutoring your child will be receiving, you will then need to think about where they will be taking the tutor. This can be a really difficult decision. You may have to consult with your child's teachers, and you may need to find someone else who has a good reputation. It is important that you make a choice.After you have set the time for the appointment, and you have gotten the general idea of the tutor, it is time to schedule the actual appointment. This can be tricky. It is important that you have done a good job evaluating the tutor's abilities and experience. It is also important that you have a good idea of how your child will fare under the tutoring.The other thing that you will want to discuss with your child is what happens if they cannot make an appointmen t. If you do not think that they will be able to be there, you should plan ahead. It is possible that you will need to go to your child's home or school to explain the situation. However, you will want to be very careful that you do not confuse your child about your plans. They may think that you are canceling their tutoring, and they may feel upset if they are not getting their desired time.In order to provide your child with the best possible experience, you should carefully research the tutor. If you want to find a tutor online, this can be a good way to find a good fit. Make sure that you are speaking with both sides, including you and your child. Find out about their experience, and what they will offer as an individual.

Celebrating Halloween with Da Share Z0ne

Celebrating Halloween with Da Share Z0ne via @dasharez0ne Through the jarring dissonance of its gothic, biker-horror imagery and it’s vulnerable, pitiable text, Da Share Z0ne deftly needles at the hypocritical constructs of masculinity with a gnarled, bony skeleton finger. So in honor of Halloween, here’s a short gallery of some of Da Share Z0ne’s inimitable work. GREAT HAIR; SELF CARE pic.twitter.com/CTWiXbw4cu â€" da share z0ne (@dasharez0ne) October 6, 2016 This recent Share Z0ne offering is one of my all-time favorites. Here we see a skeleton blow-drying what appears to be either a) a head full of gorgeous auburn hair or b) flames. It’s the sprawling reams of background text, though, that elevate the meme. As he is wont to do, Admin is airing his grievances or the things in life that bring him particular sorrow. A couple of my favorites include “Elon Musk says the world is a computer” and “Ethical consumption is impossible with capitalism.” duckING HELL WTF pic.twitter.com/C9xB9BVBBM â€" da share z0ne (@dasharez0ne) September 21, 2016 Anyone who has gone spelunking down between the couch cushions as the Mario Kart theme menu blares incessantly from the TV can understand why Admin is so peeved that he’s down a Wiimote. If the sword wielding, controller surfing skeleton didn’t spook the perp into returning the goods, I don’t think there’s much hope. THINK ABOUIT IT pic.twitter.com/v1wBFVNDuE â€" da share z0ne (@dasharez0ne) September 1, 2016 Here again Admin invokes Elon Musk, this time assailing his star-gazing hubris. This post was a response to Space X’s Falcon 9 explosion, which destroyed the rocket and its commercial satellite payload. Between the explosion and Admin’s meme, Musk and Space X are facing an uphill battle to regain some dignity. HELL YEAH pic.twitter.com/ukJXPwIxb3 â€" da share z0ne (@dasharez0ne) May 29, 2016 Da Share Z0ne has always made great use of acrostic poetry. Here, it looks like Admin is responding to some ignorant jerks who get off on denigrating people’s sexuality. Well, the joke will be on them when they see how well manicured Admin’s hedges are. IS GENDER TH CAUSE OR THE SYMPTOM..WHO CARES IM SHOOTIN IT pic.twitter.com/sEvdGV0aZ6 â€" da share z0ne (@dasharez0ne) July 30, 2016 Admin’s brief ruminations on gender. Ultimately, he opts to just shoot it. Down with the patriarchy!

Nutella -- Is It, or Isnt It

Nutella -- Is It, or Isn't It Photo Via: https://3dprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/3dp_nutellalock_nutella_jar.jpg So in recent news, everything causes cancer. Just joking … but not really. According to some recent controversy, Nutella (yes, the hazelnut goodness that we are all obsessed with) has potentially cancer-causing ingredients. Which for many is pretty alarming news, especially for a food that’s so high-profile and so well liked in general. College students are especially worried (mostly because Nutella is life, but also because it’s a staple in our diets that we aren’t prepared to get rid of). According to a recent report from the European Food Safety Authority (leave it to Europe to ruin a good thing), Nutella could be dangerous to your health. And this is big, as the EFSA is equivalent to our FDA. In other words, it’s a big deal. But should you stop purchasing that spreadable goodness? That’s where the controversy comes into play. According to the report, palm oil, one of the main ingredients in Nutella (the reason for that creamy, flavorful spread), is the dangerous component that’s potentially cancer-causing. Palm oil, of course, isn’t limited to just Nutella, but also baked goods (like pastries and cakes) and margarine (butter, for those of us that need it spelled out). And, to make matters even more difficult, it’s not necessarily the palm oil that’s of concern, but how it’s processed and heated. Basically, you refine the oil, which changes its color and eliminates its smell. So this is why processed foods containing this ingredient are in question. To process the foods, you heat the palm oil to temperatures over 392 degrees Fahrenheit, which creates a “potentially carcinogenic contaminant” that creates the health concern. So really, it’s not until you process the palm oil that it becomes “potentially” dangerous. Again, this is a controversy at the moment, and conclusive evidence isn’t available yet. Basically, the issue is that it isn’t possible to determine how much of the “contaminant” is in the processed product and then, to make matters even more difficult, there is no way to tell how much of this contaminant individuals are consuming. So while there is a possibility that the carcinogenic is being created, it’s unclear whether the food is safe to eat, or if it’s actually harmful. To put this into perspective, the EFSA didn’t recommend banning palm oil, and they didn’t make any comments on heating the ingredient to over 200 degrees Celsius. In other words, don’t throw out all of your Nutella just yet. On top of this, Nutella does use palm oil, but it processes at temperatures that fall below the 200 degree Celsius mark. In fact, Nutella is combined at low temperatures specifically to decrease the number of contaminants. So of the processed foods, Nutella might be the safest at the moment. And it helps that the EFSA also didn’t mention Nutella processing. This debate is surfacing now in the U.S., but in Europe, this has been ongoing for several years. People have debated back and forth about the dangerous effects of palm oil, and a few supermarket chains have removed palm oils from their store brand products, just in case. And the fact that it’s surfacing here now doesn’t validate the study in any way everyone is still very unclear whether palm oil products are bad for your health. So essentially, the EFSA is releasing the report to keep everyone informed and to give consumers a choice as to whether or not they want to consume the product. Until there is definitive evidence that suggests otherwise, Nutella is pretty much safe. Of course, it still isn’t healthy, so don’t forget that it’s a product that’s very high in sugar and very low in protein (of course, this won’t stop us, but it’s good to know nonetheless). But in the meantime, be vigilant when it comes to the ingredients in your food, as more and more ‘bad items are popping up in studies across the globe. What it comes down to is this: know what you’re putting into your body, and, just in general, try to eat healthy. Fruits and vegetables are always good, non-processed foods are preferable and you don’t have to avoid processed food entirely, but don’t limit your diet to Pizza Rolls and Lean Cuisines. If you do, you aren’t doing your body any favors. Essentially, don’t let these studies scare you away from any foods, but keep an eye out for new studies as well because, in the world of science, anything can change at any point in time, so the more you are aware of what’s going on, the better. In the meantime, sit back, get some homework done and snack on that Nutella we both know you have hidden in the back of your pantry. Because you deserve it.

The 5 most controversial historical figures

The 5 most controversial historical figures One of the great things about studying or teaching history is the possibilities it opens up for debate. History teachers and tutors frequently encounter all sorts of characters who defy definition. Here are our top five 'controversial' historical figures. 1. Richard the Lionheart - The Richard of popular legend was a good king who led noble crusades. However, history suggests he cared little for England - he didn't even speak the language. His crusades have been interpreted as warmongering and when not fighting he lived in France as Count of Anjou. 2. Henry VIII - Was Henry a powerful soldier king who created an unparalleled military strength? Or was he a maniac despot given to throwing almighty tantrums if not appeased? 3. Shakespeare - Although a major historical figure, very little is known about Shakespeare. Even today, the authorship of his plays is debated in A-level English classes, as are the reasons for him leaving wife Anne Hathaway nothing but his second best bed in his will. 4. Robert Falcon Scott - The story of the Race to the Pole still fascinates. Although Amundsen won, it is the doomed Scott who has captured public imagination. Opinion is divided as to whether his mission was a glorious, inevitable tragedy or an under-prepared and foolhardy attempt. 5. Mata Hari - Executed by the French in 1917 for spying, Mata Hari is remembered as a dangerous double agent, responsible for the deaths of thousands. However, many people believe she was actually a convenient scapegoat - a woman with more beauty then brains who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

About Cold Pack Chemistry

About Cold Pack ChemistryFor those of you who are interested in learning about cold pack chemistry, then you have come to the right place. This article is going to give you some general guidelines about cold pack chemistry that you should know about before you try out any of the warm pack chemistry products that are out there.Cold pack chemistry is quite simple, but it works quite well. The key is to keep your hands very cold while you apply the material. That means that you should use the material as though you were making a cake; you don't want to make the cake too hot or too cold, because then you will be ruining the cake.Cold pack chemistry is often referred to as 'wet' chemistry. Wet chemistry is used by many chefs to keep their food cold for a longer period of time. Wet chemistry is based on the idea that heat destroys protein molecules and the protein molecules in your food. As a result, when you cook meat and other foods in a hot oven, they get really, really hot, and that ca uses your food to dry out.Cold pack chemistry is basically a way of keeping your food really cold. It is effective in two ways. First, you are not heating up your food any more than you need to, and second, when you apply the material to your food, you don't overheat it and destroy the protein molecules. These are the reasons why you want to use cold pack chemistry.In order to use cold pack chemistry you want to turn the food over in your hands and apply it with your thumbs, fingers, or palms. Once you have turned the food over, place the material in your palm, palm up. You want to apply it so that you can do it slowly and easily.As you apply the material, your hands will work at a pretty good rate. After you have applied the material to the food, use the material slowly from the top of the food down, and from the bottom up. This is called 'cold gel' chemistry. When you have applied it to your food, you don't want to move it back and forth.Cold gel chemistry is actually a lot easier to apply, and I found it to be really easy to do. If you find it hard to apply, try using warm gel or warmed up water.

College Chemistry at MSU

College Chemistry at MSUCollege Chemistry is always a fun class, as it can be the first foray into a major, and the first time that you have had to apply your new found skills to real world issues. All students will eventually need to take this course, no matter what their college major is, whether they are entering an undergraduate program, or a graduate program. It has some of the same skill sets required in other major classes, but in a different way.In my own college chemistry class I found that many of the students were new to the subject, and to chemistry in general. It took several lectures before I could get them to understand that as a scientist, they had to conduct research into the workings of various chemical reactions, and understand the principles of the process. Before you can truly understand the subject, you must know how to apply it.Some of the courses at MSU require a book of chemistry and a calculator for graphing. For those who are going to take a high school che mistry course, the book can be borrowed from the library.As a freshman, I learned a great deal about using chemistry in the classroom. I took a course that included a lab in which we learned to make amyl nitrate, which is used as a foaming agent for medicine. It's a useful material to learn about when you are taking a course like this.With my sophomore year at MSU, I had already taken a chemistry course in high school. When we did chemistry in high school, it was in the classroom, using an approved book. With my sophomore year chemistry class, we made our own test tubes and even made simple experiments using samples we had collected, that was our 'homework.'In my senior year at MSU, I took a course called Organic Chemistry. At this point, I had taken a course in college chemistry, but that was not as involved as this class. This class was taught by an Associate Professor of Chemistry, who had taught there for years. You could view his lab and see what he was working on.I would recom mend that you take a course in college chemistry before you take any of the other science courses at MSU. Not only will it give you a great understanding of the subject, it will also help you as a student to plan out your college career.

What are the Differences Between Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans

What are the Differences Between Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans By now, youve likely heard a lot about the changes tothe Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students in college (or enrolling in college) are strongly encouraged to fill out a FAFSA each school year, as the form determines eligibility for financial aid, such as grants and student loans. However, you may not have heard about the different types of loans that are made available through the FAFSA. Two of the most popular types of loans you may be offered through the U.S. Department of Education are subsidized and unsubsidized loans. But which one do you want or qualify for? Here are some of the major differences between subsidized and unsubsidized loans that you should know about. Direct subsidized loans have better terms for interest accrued Perhaps the largest difference between subsidized and unsubsidized loans is how interest is accrued. There are noticeable financial benefits associated with subsidized loans. With a subsidized loan, the U.S. Department of Education pays interest on money borrowed while youre enrolled at least half-time, for a grace period of six months after you leave school and for a deferment period. This means you start accruing interest six months after graduation rather than the day you take out the loan, making the difference between several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. If you take out an unsubsidized loan, you will be responsible for all of the interest accrued, including while you were enrolled in school and during any period of deferment. Unpaid interest will be added to your principal loan balance. It is advisable to make interest payments while in school to decrease the amount you will owe after graduation, but this is not always possible for students who may only work part-ti me or who are unable to work while they are in school. Loan limits vary between direct subsidized and unsubsidized loans The amount of an unsubsidized loan is determined by the college or university you are attending and your grade level, but will never exceed the amount of your tuition. There are also more stringent limits on the amount of subsidized loans a student can take out. For example, a dependent undergraduate student can qualify for a maximum loan of $5,500 for his or her first year, but only $3,500 of that amount can be subsidized. Students must also be aware of aggregate loan limits$31,000 for a dependent undergraduate student, only $23,000 of which may be subsidized. For a particularly expensive school, this means a student may reach his or her aggregate loan limit before graduation. You must demonstrate financial need in order to receive a direct subsidized loan You will only be offered subsidized loans if your FAFSA demonstrates financial need. However, even if you do demonstrate financial need, you may also receive unsubsidized loans to help cover additional costs. On the other hand, you do not need to demonstrate financial need to qualify for an unsubsidized loan, so unsubsidized loans are available to everyone. Direct subsidized loans are offered only to undergraduate students Subsidized loans are only available to undergraduate students, or those seeking an associate degree or a bachelors degree. Unsubsidized loans, however, are offered to both undergraduate and graduate students seeking a masters or doctoral degree. Unsubsidized loans do not have a time limit for eligibility Subsidized loans have a time limit, called a maximum eligibility period, on how long a student is eligible to receive this type of aid, while unsubsidized loans do not have a time limit. Subsidized loans can be awarded for up to 150 percent of your program length. For example, a typical bachelors degree may require 120 credits completed over four years. For such a student, a subsidized loan would be available for up to six years (150 percent of four years), or, around 180 credits. After this period, the student would need to rely on unsubsidized loans. Both subsidized and unsubsidized loans offer some of the best interest rates and most flexible payback conditions to students, especially when compared to private loans. If you plan to take out loans to pay for your college education, be sure you fully understand all that is being offered to you to maximize your search for financial aid. Understanding the differences between subsidized and unsubsidized loans is crucial to this process. It is recommended to accept your subsidized loans first, and then accept unsubsidized loans as needed after that. Most importantly, if you have questions, dont hesitate to ask your college or universitys financial aid office for help navigating your options.
