Five Tips for your Teens Off-to-College Toolbox

Five Tips for your Teen's Off-to-College Toolbox Its almost here: your teens departure for college. When it comes to packing, he or she may be focused on dorm dcor and clothes, but there are a number of other intangible items your teen will want to remember to bring along when he or she begins the college journey. Dont forget these all-important tips and tools for the brand new college student: List of college resources Dont let your teen lose track of that college directory and handbook at orientation. As he or she learns to be an independent adult, your student may need access to the support services and other resources on campus designed to make his or her college experience a good one. Be sure he or she knows how to get a hold of the academic advisor, faculty advisor (if assigned one yet), tutoring center and other resources. If your teen has a learning disability, he or she may want to have the phone number and location of the disability support services office available. Think aheadwhat else might your student need? Where is the closest computer lab? How can he or she form a study group with students in his or her dorm or major? Good study habits Is your teen equipped with the study skills to succeed at college? If he or she is disorganized, now is the time to work on improving this skill. Other skills, such as problem-solving, goal-setting, persistence in achieving those goals, and focus are also so important. Off on his or her own for the first time, your teen will need to think critically, make decisions and learn from his or her mistakes. Time management Time management is arguably one of the most critical skills your teen will need to do well in college and in his or her career. At college, your student will have many choices on how to spend his or her time. Having the discipline and ability to prioritize all of the things in his or her life is crucial to your students academic successand overall happiness. You can begin working on this before your student leaves for college by keeping a family calendar, encouraging your teen to maintain a planner, and spending a little time together each night to go over any assignments due the next day or within a week and talk about any projects further out on the horizon. Financial basics While it is less of an academic tipbut no less importantyour teen must be financially responsible and savvy enough to take care of him or herself. Can he or she balance a checkbook? Have you equipped him or her with the street smarts to know not to max out a credit card or disregard bill due dates? If your student is paying for some of his or her education, be sure he knows how to access resources such as the financial aid office, too. An understanding of work-school balance College is an exciting journey for your student, and he or she should stay focused on the pursuit of his or her education. However, while your student should work hard in school, there is more to college than studying, and it is healthy to seek balance. By encouraging your student to lead a well-balanced life in high schoolmaking time for school, family, friends and any other priorities (volunteering, work, activities or other hobbies)youll also be helping to set the foundation for a successful college experience.

Teaching Japanese on italki Annie

Teaching Japanese on italki Annie In previous posts, we introduced active italki students, Simon and Ken.   In this QA, youll learn a little bit more about teaching online as we introduce italki teacher, Annie from Japan.   Annie is one of our top teachers. She has experience teaching at a cram school, including teaching English to Japanese children. [Original in English, edited.] When did you start teaching on italki? I started last May. Why did you choose to teach online and why italki? Teaching online doesn’t cost me at a thing: No commuting expense, no telephone charges when using Skype, no special clothing expenses, no cosmetics, and the work time is short . (#^.^#) Moreover, I can teach when I‘m free at home.   The teaching system in italki is very simple and easy for me. What efforts did you use to find students on italki? Or did the students find you? Nothing special. Did you teach offline before you started teaching online? Yes, but when teaching Japanese offline that was just teaching friends for free. What tools do you use to teach online? Besides Skype, depending on the students, we also use various Japanese materials.   If they need me to provide the Japanese sources, I send them the text.   However, if they want to use their own textbooks, they send it to me instead. Are there any special skills needed to teach online? For me to teach, I need strong English skills to make myself or the language very clearly understood.   English communication is very important unless the student already has a high level of Japanese. Overall, what do you think about teaching on italki? Any last words? italki is a nice system at least for me.   If really pressed, Id have to say the money withdrawal system is a little difficult for me to use. Thats all.

Chemistry of Detergent Ions

Chemistry of Detergent IonsChemical engineering students will learn many times over the value of key information and the importance of solving chemistry limiting reactant problems. Many engineering programs expect their students to be able to solve these problems in order to understand chemical reactions. They give numerous kinds of keys to solving the problem, from the use of chemicals themselves to changing chemical configurations in order to reduce the reactants' reaction levels. You will learn about using solvents and warming the reactions before the reactions begin, as well as using advanced tools like alcohols, acids, and carbonates to slow down the reactions and slow the rate of oxidation of reactants.The best way to learn about such chemistry limiting reactant problems is by studying as much as possible and being able to translate the work you do into a good guide to solving the problem. A great deal of work on this subject can be done by utilizing the sites where you may fin d details about chemical reactants. Examples of these sites would be the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the Government Accountability Office (GAO), or the U.S. National Research Council (NRC). From these sources, you can find plenty of information about reacting chemistry and solving chemistry limiting reactant problems.The chemistry of detergent ions will be your basis for understanding the chemistry of detergent ions. Detergent ions, which come in two basic varieties, positively charged and negatively charged, are responsible for determining the nature of reactants that exist in your detergent solution. Detergent ions are usually neutral in chemical mixtures, so when they come into contact with other substances that are not water soluble, they allow them to be dispersed into the detergent solution. When they react with water, they form ionic liquid detergents, which are detergents that are designed to behave just like water when intr oduced into a detergent solution.When you're preparing to study chemistry, it is very important to determine the chemistry of detergent ions. After that, you will need to determine which of the two types of detergent ions is best for your purpose. Detergent ions that are neutral are called the free detergent. These are the ones you will need to study in order to solve the chemistry of detergent ions.Unfortunately, those detergent ions that are either of the two basic types are not ideal because they will quickly dissolve in water. It is possible to have detergent ions that are neutral at one pH level, but reactive at another. These are referred to as acidic detergent ions.The chemistry of detergent ions has a very important role in understanding the chemistry of chemistry. These elements are typically produced by hydrolysis, the change of one substance to another through the action of heat or chemical reaction. In the case of detergent ions, they are produced by reactions between ca lcium hydroxide, which are a known base for making salt, and sodium hydroxide, which is a base for making sulfuric acid.As a chemistry lab instructor, you will use pH solution and pH test kits to determine the basicity of detergent ions. For every detergent ion, you will determine the amount of calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide in the sample solution. Then, you will use the pH test kit to determine the H+ concentration of the sample solution. This test will be an important step in determining the chemistry of detergent ions and one that you will perform on a regular basis.

Heres What an Introvert Can Teach You about Success - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / Here’s What an Introvert Can Teach You about Success - Introvert Whisperer Here’s What an Introvert Can Teach You about Success By definition, an introvert is someone who gains energy by spending time alone and loses energy in an overly social, stimulating environment. Introverts promote qualities of introspection, a love of solitude, a more sensitive or empathetic approach, and a focused communication style heavy on listening rather than talking. Some may think that these qualities do not fit a leadership or successful professional role. However, an introvert possesses a number of positive traits that aid in pursuing a successful and fulfilling lifestyle.   Stay Focused  An introvert has a tendency to stay with a goal until completion. They can begin with an idea, flesh it out, and follow it to completion with no problem. They ensure that single goal is done satisfactorily and to the best of their ability. Instead of working on several projects at once with shared effort and mediocrity, this trait allows them to do one thing really well, turning out a high-quality end result.   There’s No “I” in Team    In a group setting, an introvert appreciates the value each member brings to the team. They do not seek credit or glory for accomplishing their part of the task but find reward in sharing in a team success. They are able to identify their strengths and weaknesses with their highly intuitive self-awareness. This leads to better division of tasks and a more streamlined process in successfully completing group assignments, with the recognition of each members contribution equally acknowledged. Let Creativity Shine    Introverts make up a large portion of the group known as “The Creatives.” They are the musicians, artists, authors, and inventors. They’re the thinkers who communicate through artistic and thought-provoking means rather than relying on personality and general communication. They achieve success by their ability to tune into their deep introspection and thought processes, freeing their creativity to be shown in beautifully unique ways. By embracing their natural gifts, they are able to follow a sometimes “out-of-the-box” path to success. Listen and Learn    Introverts tend to take a backseat in conversations, especially in overly social situations. They listen more than they speak, allowing them to absorb more information and thoughtfully consider it. They tend to choose their words carefully so what they say has meaning and importance to the conversation. This leads to deeper relationships with those around them as they are able to form personal connections from the information they learn. And deep, personal connections can lead to success in networking and new opportunities. Be Independent    Although introverts work well within a group, their skillset can really shine when working independently. By working in solitude, an introvert can spend less energy on draining social situations and more on the project at hand. With no need for supervision or outside encouragement, an introvert can focus on the task at hand and achieve quality results in less time.  Find a private English tutor, a young entrepreneur, or a museum curator. They are all remarkably self-reliant and their ability to focus leads to improved results in a timely manner.   It’s All About the Work    It’s difficult to be successful if you allow yourself to get in the way of your work. Problems can arise when the attention is more focused on the producer than the product. A handful of famous CEOs and company owners live in the spotlight, making their product or service a sideshow attraction. And this can work, unless they disrupt the narrative of their brand or company. Many more CEOs and owners take a backseat, pushing their product or service to the forefront and allowing it to shine on its own. An introvert lets the work speak for itself while maintaining a productive and fulfilling spot behind the scenes.   Sensitivity is a Plus    In today’s busy and fast-paced world, generic, blunt, and impersonal statements and attitudes are becoming the norm, both online and in real life. However, humans crave personal connections, and no one may be better suited to provide that than an introvert. Many introverts are in tune with their sensitivity, allowing them to show compassion and empathy to those around them. Successful people care about those they work with and they value the relationships they have with those who support and help them. Being sensitive and in tune with others’ emotions and feelings helps to create loyalty and a great work ethic, resulting in more effective production and success. Final Words    Success has a different definition for everyone. For one person, success can mean running a profitable Fortune 500 company. For another, success can mean getting published by a well-known magazine or newspaper. The steps you take toward your definition of success are defined largely by the above-mentioned traits and qualities. Adopting the mindset of an introvert, even just for a short time, can be highly beneficial in aiding you in your accomplishments.
