How a Condensed Structure Chemist Works
How a Condensed Structure Chemist WorksChemists, people who have mastered the discipline of condensed structure chemistry, are in charge of determining chemical reactions and how they change on changing temperatures. They develop plans and theories for experimentation to prove their work and they measure the results to ensure they are consistent. The process is quite time consuming, with condensed structure activity taking place in the laboratory for hours at a time.The field of condensed structure activity has become very popular science today. It has been studied for many years and became an important part of the development of drugs and chemicals, as well as the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. Because it involves chemical reactions, it may involve various kinds of research that would otherwise be difficult to study. Chemists, in fact, have developed their own special set of instruments and equipment that helps them to study chemistry more effectively.One way to improve the performance of any chemical reaction is to separate out a part of the reaction so that you can study the actual reaction. This is often done by using a stoichiometric balance, which is a very complicated type of apparatus that requires a great deal of skill in its maintenance. However, it gives you a way to see what goes on in the reaction before you have to wait for the results to come back.A much simpler instrument that is used in a chemist's hands is a simpleton would use. To see how many molecules of a particular compound or element are present in the reaction, you simply weigh them and record the weight. To measure and determine the number of atoms in a reaction, or make an accurate calculation, a mass spectrometer is needed.The larger the size of the substance being studied, the larger the mass, and therefore the greater the number of atoms will be present. You can then see the number of atoms in the particles of the matter in the reaction. The mass is sometimes called the io nic weight. The ionic weight of the reaction can be determined from the weight and the number of atoms that are present.It is the goal of a condensed structure chemist to find out the causes of chemical reactions and to find a way to reverse or reduce those causes. Their work usually involves measuring a chemical reaction, studying it and seeing if it is as efficient as it could be, if only slightly. One way to show this is to find the difference between the reaction and the previous one. Usually, this is done by evaluating the efficiency of the two reactions, then looking at the effect that has on the environment.In the case of a very inefficient chemical reaction, there is a very good chance that this is the work of condensed structure. For example, you might have discovered a way to make a certain chemical more efficient, but you found the new way of doing it was too difficult. Chemists then look to combine the new and old methods to achieve a lot more from the reaction.

Common Things to Expect in the 11+ Exam
Common Things to Expect in the 11+ Exam At Tutorfair we are helping our London tutors become the best people to deliver 11+ exam tuition. However, we don't want to forget the slightly smaller people who have to actually do the exams! Our very own resident expert, Sophia, explains what pupils can expect on the day of the 11+ exam. She sat her 11+ exam 18 months ago and has just completed a very happy year in her new school. The 11+ is the first really important exam for most school kids as it decides your next school, which will influence the next seven years of academic life. The first part is choosing which schools to apply for. Teachers can suggest which school a student will settle best in, parents might nag about how far away the school is and newspapers will throw their academic results at you; however, visiting the school is vital and gives an idea about the atmosphere. This is usually the main factor for deciding. When I did the 11+, everyoneâs main worry was how to prepare. Despite teachers equipping us with an army of revision papers, many parents were still not satisfied and promptly proceeded to raid bookstores for Bond papers and scour the Internet for the previous yearâs 11+. One solution that many turned to was tutoring for the 11+ exam. Tutors are brilliant, one-to-one teachers who usually specialise in exams; they know where to get 11+ exam papers, how to revise properly and what schools look for in the exams. I had a tutor for three lessons in which we simply recapped key points and practised papers; almost immediately I felt one step ahead of the exam. For exam day, we received a bucketload of advice: go to bed early, eat healthy food and prepare everything the night before (water bottle, pencil case, etc). But the most important one: just relax. Adrenaline isnât needed in an exam; the 11+ wonât trip you up with quantum physics or jump off the table and eat you, so donât panic. When youâre actually in the exam room, it feels just like a normal exam that your school teachers throw at you. During the interview just relax, donât fidget or talk too fast, and be honest. When the magic day of acceptance letter comes, it is easy to get excited or overconfident. It is important to wait for the other results and think carefully before choosing. Donât get upset if the results arenât what you hoped for either. It could be for the best - maybe that school just wasnât right for you. Everyone I know has got into a school and is really happy there and now that the 11+ is over, it seems really small. If you are looking for a tutor to support your child through the 11+ visit the Tutorfair website and find fantastic 11 plus tutors.
Additional Information on the Common Application
Additional Information on the Common Application The process of researching, applying to and deciding on a college can be overwhelming for teens. But if theres one aspect of the process thats much easier than it was years ago, it is filling out the applicationor more specifically, the Common Application. The Common Application lets students complete a single application that shares the details of their background, education and activities with multiple colleges on their list. Its a great way for college-bound students to save themselves valuable time and stay organized with the various college-related deadlines. Here are some of the most important things you need to know about the Common Application: More than 800 public and private colleges and universities accept the Common Application. To find out whether a college uses it, search the Common Apps database or view the latest (as of August 2018) listing. Applicants may submit applications to up to 20 colleges. A students dashboard inside the Common Application database lets them keep track of up to 20 colleges. Deadlines are made easier. The Common Application dashboard shows application deadlines of each college a teen is tracking. A date becomes red and displays a clock symbol next to it when a deadline is within two weeks. Teens can also download the mobile app: Common App on Track on their mobile device. To make the application process efficient, teens should have certain information on hand. Parents, have your teens assemble their high school transcript, extracurricular activities list, test scores and test dates (SAT, ACT, SAT Subject Tests), and parent/legal guardian information (including educational background, occupational information and employer information). There may be other items to submit. Keep in mind that colleges usually want supplemental information in addition to the Common Application. They might request answers to specific questions, letters of recommendation and writing supplements. Each college has specific writing requirements. As mentioned, first-year (freshman) applicants are usually required or encouraged to submit samples of their writing. Those might include the Common App Personal Essay (for which writing prompts will be provided), answers to college-specific questions (e.g. details on a work experience or meaningful extracurricular activity) or an additional writing supplement. Check out the Common Applications Writing Requirements resource for details on what each college seeks. Early Decision applications are binding. When students apply Early Decision to a school and are accepted, they must agree to withdraw all other applications they have submitted. For this reason, students can only apply to one school this way using the Common App. The Common Application is a major timesaver for students who plan to apply to several colleges. Its easy to get started: just start an application, add colleges to your list, review their requirements and start gathering the materials you need. Have your teen visit www.commonapp.org to learn more and begin searching colleges.

Online Content, Conventional TV, and the Golden Age of Television
Online Content, Conventional TV, and the Golden Age of Television image via http://likealady.bg/ Television advertising became prevalent in the 1950s, when companies like Kraft and General Electric sponsored entire television shows. NBC revolutionized the concept in the 1960s with âTV Spots,â which we all know today as commercials. Advertising went from taking up 9 minutes of an hour-long program in the 1970s all the way up to 19 minutes in the â90s. Once advertisers were able to gain information regarding the demographics of different showsâ viewers thanks to Nielsen Ratings (the data collection system on the ages and amounts of people watching a given network show), they utilized product placement. Different series became vehicles for certain products, intertwining the charactersâ choices and the plotlines with commercial goods. In my opinion, this poses a risk to the creative control of the show. The advertisers are funding these shows, and since the series are operating on the given companyâs dollar, which parts of the show are generated without profit-oriented bias, and which are forced upon the writers from the promotional demands and financial motivations of the corporation? image via http://protoepicnews.blogspot.com/ A show that does a great job of making fun of this is 30 Rock. The series focuses on a fictional NBC television show run by Liz Lemon (Tina Fey). In the first few seasons, General Electric owns NBC, and Jack Donaghey (Alec Baldwin) plays the overbearing president of NBC who wants to assume control over Lemonâs creative choices. Each episode is speckled with jokes about vertical integration and product placement, with clear wisecracks at GE, who owned NBC in real life at the time. In one scene, Lemon is in Donagheyâs office. She gives a spiel about how great Verizon Wireless is, then looks directly at the camera and says, âcan we have our money now?â A show like 30 Rock that actively draws attention to the commerciality aspect of network TV is the exception to the rule. Since network TV depends so much on corporate funding, the shows try to cater to the masses, which makes sense: the more viewers, the more ad spots are worth (since more people are seeing them and are likely to buy the product), so, the more money the show makes. This is where it gets problematic for me again, from a creative standpoint. For example, a comedy that tries to make everyone laugh will probably be less substantial of a series than one with a unique tone, catered to a certain taste. This could be why shows like Arrested Development didnât do well initially. Fox cancelled the show after just three seasons, even though it won an Emmy. Arrested has dry, quick humor and expects the viewer to be smart enough to catch onto jokes, rather than dumb itself down for the sake of getting more viewers. This juxtaposes against series like Two and A Half Men, which has been called âmindlessâ comedy, yet has been on the air for 12 seasons and peaked at over 24 million viewers. In fact, the success of Arrested Development after its original run, and its subsequent Netflix season four revival, is a good example of the payoff of an online television medium compared to the traditional network model. After working under the Netflix umbrella for the fourth season, the cast members criticized the showâs former network, Fox, regarding the conflict between airing a quality, creative show, even if it wasnât a moneymaker for the network. David Cross, the actor who plays Tobias Funke, denounced the network: The networks were still behind in figuring out how people were watching TVâ"they were still in that antiquated way that started in the 50s with a Nielsen Box. You cant look at the Nielsen ratings just because theres a family in Rhode Island that wasnt watching it at the timeâ"thats not how people are watching TV anymore . . . The worst thing that happened to Fox was Arrested winning the Emmy, cos they had to keep it on. Fox didnt have any real guts, but its a business [and] theyre not in the business of putting out great TV; theyre in the business of making as much money as they possibly can for Rupert Murdoch. Cross goes on to discuss how Netflix allowed Mitch Hurwitz, the showâs creator, to take creative control of the show and supported his decisions, whereas Fox would normally fight with Hurwitz and give him notes to change certain things. Where Fox was like âa girl you were dating who didnât quite get you,â Netflix was âoverly gracious and supportive.â When you think about harboring a creative environment necessary for a great television show, which one seems like it would produce higher quality content? image via doseoffunny.com Online mediums like Netflix and Hulu canât use Nielsen Ratings for their shows; there are no time slots for these series, so theres no way to calculate how many viewers are tuned in since people watch on their own time. Ted Sarandos, the Chief Content Officer at Netflix, discussed the companyâs own method of âratingsâ when it comes to original content creation. He specifically referenced House of Cards: âWe read lots of data to figure out how popular Kevin Spacey was over his entire output of movies. How many people actually highly rate four or five of them? If you liked The Social Network, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Fight Club, youâre probably a Fincher fanâ"you probably donât know it, but you are.â Sarandos continues that once the company has a sense of how many fans are out there, it can âmore accurately predict the absolute market size for a show.â When you can predict a market size, you donât have to cater to the masses. So where Nielsen measures an arbitrary rat race for the highest volume of viewers, Netflix utilizes a calculated forecast based on viewer preference and artistic style and genre. Again, which method seems like it would keep a show afloat based on real merit? The growing artistic diversification of online television is becoming more and more apparent. Choosing a TV show to watch is becoming more like browsing a library with endless material of all types and genres, rather than a passive activity mottled with infrequent, arbitrary channel surfing. The Internet is an interactive tool, one where the users actively seek out content they want to watch. Predetermined time slots donât hold the clout they once did. Mass-market appeal is no longer the winning strategy. Donât get me wrong: broadcast television is the best medium when it comes to time-sensitive, cultural content, like the news. It can be a unifying medium in times that call for national involvement, like when the first plane hit the World Trade Center on 9/11, or when the news broke that Osama Bin Laden was captured and killed. However, scripted series seem to be a different story altogether. Television is in its Golden Age, and it is thanks to these online mediums who are providing the creative freedom and creating premium content funded by subscription dollars, rather than bowing down to advertisers. Television is reaching its peak quality. You might be wondering why this is all of any importance. Itâs just TV, after all. However, television is an integral part of our culture, whether we realize it or not. Throughout the second half of the 20th century, TV unified our nation through shows like I Love Lucy, The Brady Bunch, and Friends. People identified with it, and it became a representation of our culture. The thing about appealing to the masses (read: most network television) is that many aspects of our culture get overlooked, and minorities are often underrepresented or not represented at all. Online mediums like Netflix have been able to break this barrier in recent years. Series like Orange is the New Black, with an almost all-female cast in a womenâs prison, probably wouldnât last on traditional television. The show stars white, black, Latina and Asian women, depicting many minorities all at once. The diversification of TV on these online mediums will only increase a more diverse representation of America. Tim Wu of The New Republic magazine said it perfectly: âA culture where niche supplants mass hews closer to the original vision of the Americas, of a new continent truly open to whatever diverse and eccentric groups showed up. The United States was once, almost by definition, a place without a dominant national identity. As it revolutionizes television, Netflix is merely helping to return us to that past.â
Practice is the Key to this Young Cello Players Success
Practice is the Key to this Young Cello Players Success Practice is the Key to this Young Cello Players Success Keya, 11-years-old, Math Level K âMastering music is more than learning technical skills. Practicing is about quality, not quantity. Some days I practice for hours; other days it will be just a few minutes.â â" Yo-Yo Ma, Cellist Yo-Yo Ma is considered one of todayâs most recognized classical musicians. A testament to his ability as a cello player, Ma has recorded over 90 albums and is a 19-time Grammy Award Winner. Long before the awards and world-renowned performances, Ma was often referred to as a âchild prodigyâ â" a title that has been given to classical music legends like Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn. Ma began playing the cello at the age of four and recalls integrating a daily routine of rigorous practice early on. Itâs no wonder he had memorized three of Johann Sebastian Bachs solo suites by the time he was five. Today, he attributes his success and fame to practice and perseverance through rigorous study. Taking a page out of Maâs book, 11-year-old Keya has discovered that practice is the key to unlocking her success as a budding cello player. She first discovered the importance of practice when she enrolled in the Kumon Math Program at the age of nine. Through daily practice and perseverance, she quickly advanced through the program and is currently studying three years above grade level. She was able to apply some of those key skills in her music. âKumon has taught me patience and resilience,â said Keya. âI apply this same perseverance when I am practicing solo pieces on the cello. If I donât know how a melody is supposed to sound l, I work through it and find that itâs helpful to learn from my mistakes.â Outside of the classroom, Keya enjoys practicing Bharatanatyam (a form of Indian classical dance), writing for the school paper, and swimming. From years of horseback riding, Keya formed a love for animals. Her passion will fuel her future aspirations of becoming a veterinarian. Keyaâs hard work and discipline didnât go unnoticed, as she was one of 55 students selected to attend the 2018 Kumon Student Conference in Calgary, Canada. We had the opportunity to speak to Keya about her Kumon journey. How has Kumon helped you inside of the classroom? Kumon has helped me understand math theories that are far above my grade level. I owe many of my academic achievements to Kumon. My peers often come to me for help with their homework, and Iâve joined advanced math clubs in school. What is the most beneficial thing youâve learned in Kumon? Aside from all the advanced math concepts I have learned through Kumon, the most beneficial thing Iâve learned is to believe in myself. I never get upset when I donât understand a new concept right away, because I know that with practice and guidance, I will master it. If you could sum up your Kumon experience in one word, what would it be? Inspiring. What do you enjoy most about Kumon? What I enjoy most about Kumon are the challenges it presents.

5 things youll learn from teaching overseas
5 things youâll learn from teaching overseas Itâs not tough to see that teaching overseas can be a really rewarding experience. But beyond the usual things youâll learn while living abroad (maybe a new language, for one), there are 5 other great lessons we wanted to share, as told to us by some of our teachers. Many of these lessons can only fully be realized when you step outside of your comfort zone and make some new experiences in foreign places. Read below! Many of us will cherish a change of routine If you live your life like a routine, the moments and memories begin to blend together and become indistinguishable. In fact, if you look at the whole of last month, you might only be able to identify one or two stand-out moments in your routine. Traveling and teaching overseas will break you from your everyday routine and force you to experience many more memorable moments. Maybe instead of walking to work in a daze, youâll now look at your walk through a new set of eyes. And this is a real treat - being able to separate days from other days, months from other months. Otherwise, youâll look back and everything will be a blur. The world really is your oyster We hear it all the time when we ask teachers why they decided to head overseas to teach: often, the answer is âto try something newâ. And is there ever a better reason? Thereâs really no excuse to be bored when the world is ripe with opportunity for adventure. If youâre an educated, certified, experienced teacher, and youâre bored, itâs because youâre not exploring your full potential. So get out there! In the process of trying something new, you might have to jump through a few hoops. You may even have to do something scary like quit your teaching job that youâve been at for years. But if youâre thinking youâd love a change, thereâs no better way than diving in, headfirst. Trying something entirely new will make you a more confident person Thereâs no doubt about it: picking up and moving to a new country can be challenging at times. But challenging ourselves builds character, and indeed, when weâve faced our biggest challenges is likely when weâve grown the most. While teaching overseas, youâll be faced with many daunting challenges. Things that wouldnât have seemed like a big deal in your home country can feel as tough as climbing a mountain. Buying a ticket and getting on the right transit line could take you hours the first time you attempt it! Though itâs likely to test your patience once or twice (or more!), itâs a great character-building experience. Succeeding at even the most mundane things might make you want to pat yourself on the back, and it might also give you some perspective on how you handle tough situations. You might see that weâre not all so different after all Weâre all guilty of living in our little bubbles. But one of the best things youâll learn while living and teaching abroad is that there is more than one way of doing things. It seems so simple, but itâs also so easy to forget. And in a time where we see all sorts of discriminatory things happening the world over, itâs always priceless to open your mind a little broader and gain more perspective. We live in such a diverse world, and thatâs what makes life interesting. But whatever way we choose to show the world who we are, we can often boil down our hopes and dreams to pretty similar pursuits: we all want to be happy, healthy, and safe. So realizing that at the heart of it, weâre all searching for the same thing, even in completely different corners of the Earth, can really move you to connect with people in a whole new way. You can learn a lot too - especially about yourself Meeting a whole slew of new friends and colleagues can be fun, refreshing, and even humbling. Howâs that, you may ask? Making new friends can be challenging at times, and sometimes in our hometown, we tend to stick to who we know instead of venturing out and meeting new people. But when traveling and working abroad, sometimes you find yourself with a whole bunch of new friends that you may not necessarily have sought to connect with back home. This means you might have a whole new opportunity to open your mind to whole new aspects about yourself that youâve taken for granted or never fully realized. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and see for yourself how living and teaching abroad can change your life! Explore ourjob boardand see what positions we're currently promoting that might interest you.

Discover the Newest Digital Chemistry Study Course For Chemistry Tutors
Discover the Newest Digital Chemistry Study Course For Chemistry TutorsOrganic Chemistry Tutors is a new product developed by Professor David Kreis to help students learn the system of Chemistry that you have been studying for the past year. There are other programs available on the market, but when it comes to their ability to take students to the next level in Chemistry, Kreis' program is a serious contender. There are some interesting features included in Organic Chemistry Tutors that sets it apart from the competition.One of the most unique features of the Organic Chemistry Tutors, however, is that they conjugate systems. You may have seen these systems in the television programs, and if you haven't, you may want to get familiar with them right away because this feature is something that is going to help you a lot when you are taking your exams.I am going to explain conjugation to you in a little more detail, because it is something that is very important when it comes to solving problems and understanding systems. To do this, you will need to learn the conventional chemical formula, the standard unit, and some more intermediate units. After that, Kreis' formula will make learning all the information that you need quite easy.For the sake of this demonstration, I am going to use a chemical formula to explain conjugation, which is the system of joining the units together to form a single unit. For this example, let's use carbonic acid as an example. In the traditional formula, carbonic acid is represented by the symbol C(H2O).The only way that we can solve the problem is if we are able to use both the standard unit and the chemical formula. By using both these different representations of the same elements, you can learn the properties of the elements that you are dealing with and can also use them to solve problems that are related to those properties. When you try to take tests on Chemical Formula and Conjugation by using the Organic Chemistry Tutor, you wi ll notice that there are several different tests that you can take. These tests include problems that require you to learn the properties of the compounds, and also problems that are based on the conjugation of chemical formulas.Hopefully, you have realized the value of the Organic Chemistry Tutor by now. If you haven't, now is the time to get online and start taking tests using Organic Chemistry Tutors.
