Why its Not too Late to Get a Tutor for Finals

Why its Not too Late to Get a Tutor for Finals Why its Not too Late to Get a Tutor for Finals Why its Not too Late to Get a Tutor for Finals The majority of students have finals coming up at the end of January. Its easy to think that if a student is continuously receiving grades lower than their potential, that it might be too late to get a tutor this term and its better just to start fresh in the spring. However, there are several reasons why getting a private Orange County tutor, even last minute, can add greatly to a students academic success. 1. Final grades are written on paper Although interim grades (that test or quiz grade or that term paper) cannot be changed, the final grade is the one that will be written on paper and lasts forever. For students in their sophomore through senior year of high school, this can be an essential part of being accepted to a university. Final grades can still mean a lot for younger students. If students start to get used to the idea of feeling they cant come back from a failure at a young age, they will probably take this theory into adulthood as well. Although an A+ may no longer be possible, an A- is still better than a B+ and a B- is still better than a C+. It’s important to remember that those final grades will stay with students on paper indefinitely (READ: How to Get an A Before the End of the Term). 2. Perseverance When students learn to persevere through a difficult situation, such as surviving through a semester at school, they learned a valuable life lesson that can help them all the way through their student experience. Although grades are extremely important, theres more to education. If a student works with a tutor last minute they may be able to learn difficult concepts covered in the first half of the year that they will need for the second. Its hard to get a fresh start in February if a student is totally confused about topics in December. At this point, students may be too frustrated to persevere alone and may need the help of a supplemental educator. 3. Teamwork When students work as a team, they learn valuable skills that they may not be able to learn on their own. If theyre working with a tutor during finals week, they may begin to understand that good study habits are paramount to academic success and that organizational skills are key to keeping stress at low levels. Although students working with a tutor last minute will not see the same results of students who work with tutors year round, they may learn enough to still be successful this term and next. As adults in the workplace we work as partners or in a team all the time, so theres no reason why younger students shouldn’t be able to develop the same teamwork at this point in life. 4. Learning good habits Students who work with a tutor during finals will also learn valuable educational skills such as organization, breaking up tasks, recognizing fatigue, creating a study guide, learning new material, and applying this material to what they already know. Some children will be able to develop these skills simply from being in the classroom, but today’s high expectations and strict testing standards dictate that many students will benefit from extra help. The good habits introduced by a private tutor can help students understand what they, as individuals need to do to prosper when they start their new term in February (READ: Tips From an Irvine Private Tutor: Avoiding Stress During Finals Week). 5. Finish the year strong Students may have been putting off getting a tutor for any number of reasons. However, its not too late to prosper on finals and finish the year strong. Students will have learned a lot from their successes and failures during the first half of the school year and will be able to tell their tutors whats working and whats not. That still leaves four to five months that students can work on good academic habits so they can ace their tests in the spring and complete the year with an excellent academic record.

#BringBackOurGirls Awareness Rally At UAlbany

#BringBackOurGirls Awareness Rally At UAlbany Students raising demanding the kidnapped girls to be found. May 5, 2014, University at Albany’s African Student Association and Sankofa Africa, came together, along with other multicultural organizations, such as Pan Caribbean Association, and Fuerza Latina, to raise awareness on the UAlbany campus about the 234 girls were abducted from their boarding school in Chibok in Nigeria on April 15th.  Most of them are  between the ages of 16 and 18. It is known that they were abducted by the terrorist group Boko Haram, and it is believed that the girls are being sold as wives, and are now involved in  human traficking. Even though it was mid school day and students were in class, there was a major turn out. Participating students walked around chanting  â€œBRING  BACK OUR GIRLS! BRING BACK OUR GIRLS!”  both outside on the academic podium, and inside the lecture centers, making sure their voices were heard. However, it was very disheartening to be stopped by individuals who asked “What is this for?” As Krystyna Jones of Pan Caribbean Association says, “No one should ask ‘What is this for?’” Kudos to the organizations involved in raising awareness. Please spread the message about this, and go and find out about it! You can sign this  petition to the Nigerian President  or this  one to the White House.

The Diverse Dozen! How to Say Hello in 12 Different Languages

The Diverse Dozen! How to Say Hello in 12 Different Languages How to Say Hello in 12 Different Languages In  2015, Adele’s comeback single “Hello” skyrocketed to #1 on the Billboard charts and broke Vevo’s record for the most viewed video.Pretty dope, huh?  So let’s talk about that at length in this post.  Ha! Nopeâ€"just kidding.Were not here to discuss Adele or her record-breaking single, but rather the simple yet profound word “hello”â€"often the very first vocabulary word uttered in any  language course, podcast, textbook  or  YouTube instructional video.There’s really more to “hello” than meets the eye. It All Starts with One HelloAll cultures have that wordâ€"that one word in the language that breaks the ice, demolishes walls, generates smiles and creates an instant, if momentary, bond between total strangers. It’s nothing short of magic, really, how a simple greeting could generate so much goodwill in the streets or make somebody drop anything theyre doing and give another their  complete attention.It comes in different forms and sounds in different langua ges. It could come with a bow, a nod, a handshake or a wave, but they all somehow signify the same thingâ€"a recognition of another, a way of saying, “I see you.”Just as learning any new language starts with “hello,” a friendship that lasts a lifetime could start with a simple “hello!”We look into 12 ways of saying just that in this post. So that’s 12 ways of turning complete strangers into friends, 12 ways of endearing yourself to others in different parts of the planet from Madrid to Calcutta, 12 ways of doing magic.How to Say Hello in 12 Different Languages1.  ??! (Ni hao)Language: Chinese (Mandarin)The Chinese greeting is ??, pronounced as ni hao.? means “you” and ? means “good.”As you may well know, Chinese is a tonal language full of dips, rises and curves in intonation. The two characters (??) are pronounced using the third  of four tones where you pronounce the syllable initially with a falling tone and round it up with a rising tone. Hence the symbol ( v).You have to be careful with Chinese pronunciation because you might call somebody’s mother a horse (as both mother and horse are pronounced as ma  but with different tones).You also need a special hello when you want to be polite. So, instead of greeting with  ni hao, youll say ??  (nín hao).Now, that pronunciation may just have a one letter difference in pinyin, but it speaks volumes! The second greeting is more formal and should be used when greeting a person more senior than you. Otherwise, youd come off as haughty and disrespectful.  Chinese is big on respect, and not just for persons of authority, but most especially for elders.When you want to ask a person how they are, you say ???? (ni hao ma?).The ma  at the end turns the whole thing into a question form. So from the literal, “you good,” it now becomes “are you good?” In fact, it would be quite easy to spot Chinese questions in conversation because they often end those sentences with a ma.Your answer to this pa rticular one should be a quick ??? (wo hen hao xièxie). Which means “I’m fine, thank you.”Many Chinese greetings might  seem odd when taken literally. For example, instead of asking how are you?  Chinese speakers will often say, “?????  (ni chi le ma?) which means “Have you eaten?”No, they’re not really asking about your stomach per se. It’s a way of showing care for you and your well-being, so don’t go on a soliloquy about what you had for breakfast or that you’re going to the grocery store  to get some stuff. Simply say, ?????  (chi le,  ni ne?)  which means, “I’ve eaten, how about you?”That’s small talk, Chinese style.2.  ??? (Konnichiwa)Language: JapaneseKonnichiwa is the general, widely-used term to say hello  in Japanese. You can use it at any time during the day or night, and it would be appropriate for both formal and informal settings.But if you want to be time-specific, you can use “???????? (ohayo gozaimasu)  in the morning, “???” (konni chiwa)  in the afternoon and ??? (konbanwa) in the evening.When meeting a person for the first time, you want to say ????? (hajimemashite),  which roughly translates as “nice to meet you.”Bowing is deeply ingrained in the Japanese culture. While handshakes often signify warmth and welcome, the bow is a sign of respect and dates back to the 5th century.The Japanese bow in many different settings. It punctuates and lubricates social interaction. They bow when meeting a person, to say hello and goodbye, when thanking, apologizing, asking for a favor and when beginning and ending a meeting or event (like when ending a Skype chat!).When meeting a person, the general rule is that the higher the status of the person you’re meeting, the lower you should bow. We’ve got the ?? (eshaku), which is a kind of bow you give to acquaintances, coworkers and people of equal social rank. An eshaku is approximately a 15 ° waist bow. For greeting people who are higher in status than you, like bos ses, elders and government officials, you do the ?? (keirei)  which is around 45 °.You should remember that when you bow, that’s not an excuse for your back to get lazy and slouch. That’s not really a picture of respect, is it? So don’t curve your spine. Bend from the waist and keep your spine straight.In addition to status dynamics involved, by bowing you’re placing yourself in a vulnerable position to prove that you have no ill intent to the other person. Just as shaking hands proves you’re not concealing a weapon or blade in your palm, by bowing and exposing your neck, you put yourself, in a way, at the mercy of the other person.3.  ????? (Anyeonghaseyo)Language: KoreanIf youve listened to any Korean conversation before, you’ve probably heard ????? (anyeonghaseyo). That’s because it’s the standard Korean greeting for practically any occasion and any time of the dayâ€"morning, afternoon or  night. They have alternatives to anyeonghaseyo but they rarely ever use the se.You can use anyeonghaseyo when you greet practically anybody. You can use it with friends and elders alike. It’s a polite greeting which roughly means “please be well.”But make no mistake, just because you can anyeonghaseyo  with practically anybody doesn’t mean the Korean culture is relaxed on seniority, elder respect and honorific expressions. On the contrary. Of the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans, I’ve seen that it’s the Koreans who most strictly observe the rules of elder respect and seniority.For example, it’s really not rude to ask about someone’s age when you first meet them because its the only clear way of establishing whos older and younger between the two of you. And once established, this will affect virtually every interaction youll have with each other. You may be  the same age, but if they were  born a week ahead of you then theyre  your senior, and you should be using honorific expressions when interacting with them. Another interesting note is that Koreans tend to romantically pair themselves, as much as possible, with someone their age because they don’t want to fraternize with someone their junior.Okay, going back to anyounghaseyo, if you want to dial down the formality a bit, especially when you’re with friends and people that you know well, you can drop the haseyo  and simply say “anyeong.”But what if you want to dial up the formality, like when you welcome an esteemed guest at your house or when the boss of your boss happens to walk into the elevator? You drop the  â€œhaseyo”  and exchange it with  hashimnikka.  So the expression becomes a very formal and a very polite anyeonghashimnikka.  It still means “please be well,” but in a more formal form.4.  BonjourLanguage: FrenchLet’s say you just landed in Paris and are psyched to see all the sights. You just hopped off the taxi a few seconds ago and are now in the hotel lobby, excitedly walking towards that lady over at the reception. How would you greet her ? (Or how would you have greeted your taxi driver?)Bonjour! That’s how.It’s the French word for “hello.”Bon  means goodâ€"as in bon appétit (good appetite) and bon voyage (good journey).Jour  means dayâ€"as in soupe du jour (soup of the day)â€"and so bonjour  literally means “good day.” The term is flexible and can be used both for formal and informal settings. Moreover, it can be conveniently blurted out in the mornings and in the afternoons. So you don’t have to have that awkward English experience of, for example, greeting someone with “good morning!” and then looking at your watch, realizing your mistake and saying, “oh, I’m sorry, I meant good afternoon.”How about at night? Well, you simply say, “bonsoir.”Soir  means evening. And with just your bonjour  and bonsoir, you’ve got the whole 24 hours covered.Another way of saying hello is salut.  The final letter is silent, just like in Champs-élysées or Paris. (The French don’t pronounce the s  in Paris.) Salut  is appropriate for more informal settings and is often used with one’s close friends. Think of it like the English word “hi.”Now let’s say you’ve just done a whirlwind tour of Paris and you’re slumped lifelessly on the hotel bed when, suddenly, the phone rings. How do you answer it?  Well, when you answer the phone, remember that you dont use bonjour or  bonsoir.  Use allô, with the stress on the second syllable!5.  HolaLanguage: SpanishThere are 21 countries in the world that speak Spanishâ€"that is, as their official languageâ€"and there are still more Spanish-based languages like those in Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Guam and Northern Marianas. In total, Spanish is spoken natively by  around 442 million folks on the planetâ€"at least.In fact, Spanish is the second  most widely used language in the world, after Chinese. English comes third.Spanish is a widespread language today because  when Spain was a world superpower in the 16th to the 18th centuries, its explorers traveled far and wide in search of spices and gold and they established numerous  colonies from  Latin America to Asia.So now you’ve got a case where learning to say “hello” in Spanish has become a requirement for modern life. There’s a big chance that you’ll be meeting and hanging out with a native speaker in your  lifetime.But not to worry, saying “hello!” in Spanish is simple enough. We almost all know to say hola.  Just remember that the letter h  is silent in this case, just like it is  in the English word “heir.”To be time-specific, you can use  buenos dias (good morning), buenas tardes (good afternoon) and buenas noches (good night). But, of course, you can use hola  in both formal and informal settings, at any time of day or night.This is often the first word you say to any native speaker, pairing it with two cheek kisses (starting with their  right cheek).Spanish is largely a cheek-kissing language. In Latin America, for example, cheek kissin g is a pretty much standard greeting between a man and a woman or between two women. In Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, male friends greet and congratulate each other with cheek kisses.If you are uncomfortable with such a gesture, then a firm handshake or a friendly wave is just as good. What is required, though, is that great smile of yours that’s worth a thousand cheek kisses.6.  HalloLanguage: GermanSaying hello in German is really very easy. It’s Hallo.Simple. Hallo!This is an informal way to greet one’s friend or folks you’re familiar with. But when it comes to greeting someone formally, like a business associate or someone who’s a bit more senior than you, the trio of Guten Morgen! (good morning), Guten Tag! (good day) and  Guten Abend! (good evening) would be more appropriate.German, like many other languages, distinguishes between informal and formal communications. Only use informal language when talking with someone you really know and someone who really knows you.  Just to be safe with anyone else outside that group, and especially in  business situations, use the Guten trio and pair them with a firm handshake.Remember also that, just like their English cousins, these three greetings are time-sensitive. Guten Morgen  is only good until about 12 noon, Guten Tag  is appropriate until around 6 p.m. and after that its all about  Guten Abend.In real-life situations, conversations often don’t end after the hellos. You wouldn’t want to break the ice with a hearty German Hallo or Guten Morgen then act all silent and weird, right?Move the conversation forward by asking “how are you?” For informal settings, ask  â€œwie geht es dir?” For  those in positions of authority or those folks you don’t know well enough, the more formal “wie geht es Ihnen?” is more appropriate.Listen also for those very lines so that you can courteously reply if you get asked. Reply with, “Gut, danke.” (Im fine, thank you.)And when you get asked how you are, it is only proper you ask how they are in return. Say, “Und Ihnen?” (And you?)In fact, make that part of the previous line. When you get asked how you are, say, “Gut, danke. Und lhnen?” (I’m fine, thank you. And you?)7.  CiaoLanguage: ItalianCiao, (pronounced chow, as in food) is probably the most recognized Italian greeting. It’s an informal interjection and can mean both “hello” and “goodbye”â€"just like aloha  in Hawaiian, shalom  in Hebrew or salaam  in Arabic.If you’re saying it to a group of friends, you would say, “ciao a tutti.” Tutti  means everybody, so the phrase literally translates to “hello to everybody.”Ciao does have a colorful history. It’s from a Venetian phrase that literally means, “I am your slave.” (Really, its more like, “I am at your service.”) But that’s not why you shouldn’t use ciao  with your boss, teacher or anybody who’s your elder. Ciao  is informal and reserved only for close friends and for people who yo u already know.When meeting people for the first time, the safest route, and this goes for practically any language, is to go formal. Italian does have three time-specific ways for more formally greeting others.In the morning, you say “buongiorno.” Buon  means “good” and giorno  means morning. Literally, it translates to “good morning.”In the afternoon, it becomes buon pomeriggio,  (although some may use  buongiorno  even in the afternoon). In the evening, it becomes buonasera. Buona  means good (feminine form) and sera  means evening. At night (later than the brief early evening time) you will hear  buena notte (good night).Note that these expressions can also be used when leaving to say “goodbye.”When in Italy, you answer the phone by saying none of the aboveâ€"instead, say “pronto.” It means “prepared.” You’re not being discourteous or demanding, you’re merely telling the other person that you’re prepared to listen to her speak. After talking, you en d the conversation by sayingâ€"um, what else?â€"“ciao!”8.  ?????? (Namaste)Language: HindiIf youre in the Indian subcontinent, you can get away with greeting everybody with just one word: Namaste.Hindi greetings are not time-specific, so you can use this one any time of the day or night. You use it to begin and end interactions with both friends and strangers, young and old.Namaste comes from the Sanskrit words namah and te, which mean “bow” and “to you” respectively. Namaste is a greeting of respect and humility. You’re not only acknowledging the presence of the other person, but also acknowledging the totality of his humanity. Theres a strong spiritual element and namaste reminds people of the divine that exists in everybodyâ€"the life force, the “god-in-me” that exists in every person they meet.The expression is paired with a slight bow of the head. Place both palms in front of the chest in a prayer-like position. As you say namaste, bow your head slightly. This gesture is called the pranamasana  gesture.And talking of gestures, probably the most misunderstood of Indian actions is the head wobble. It’s this nonverbal signal where they shake their head side-to-side. Westerners have a hard time deciphering this one correctly because the Indian head wobble looks very much like saying “no.”Say, an American asks his guest, “Would you like some ice cream?”The Indian friend displays a smile and a head wobble.What would he make of that? It’s like he’s saying “no.”  Or worse, it looks like a “maybe.” It’s like the other person is weighing his options, looking at pros and cons.But the glisten in his eyes says  something else entirely.In reality, the head wobble is an expression of agreement. It’s a “yes.” Indians use it to say “yes,” “okay” and “I understand.” What is exactly meant depends on context, but its generally a very positive kind of gesture, and the more vigorous the wobbling, the more positive it is.So remember that the next time you invite an Indian friend over for dinner. If his head wobbles, he’s going to come.9.  ?e?a sa? (Yassas)Language: GreekSay yassas to say hello in Greece.Greeks are very informal and easygoing with their greetings, so much so that a handshake may not be offered. There are no required bows or cheek kisses.But don’t misinterpret this. The Greeks are actually very friendly and open. Visit the country for one day and youll find this to be true. They’re just used to having tourists around, so they usually just get out of their visitors’ ways as they also go about their ordinary days.Make the first move and youll soon have somebody eager to help you get  where you need to go or tell you what you need to know. And if you throw a little Greek into the mix, like, kalimera  (good morning), kalispera  (good afternoon), kalinita  (good evening) and efxaristo  (thank you), you’ll really open yourself  up to a  friendly,  rousing conversation.10.  Salv eLanguage: LatinLatin  was the dominant language of the Roman Empire from  6th century BC to 600 AD.When the Roman Empire collapsed, Latin evolved in the former constituent nations into the various languages that we know today. Romance languages like French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Romanian consider Latin as their parent tongue.Much of the classical literature we study in school was originally written in Latin. Examples are the timeless classics penned by Virgil and Cicero. Latin, although not spoken as widely as before (save perhaps by the Vatican, which considers it one of its official language), exerts a solid but indirect influence in the modern world. For example, it’s said that as many  as half of English words are derived from Latin.That being said, would you like to know what it would be like to greet someone during Roman times?  You’d say, salve.That’s hello when talking to one person. If you were talking to several people, you’d say, salvete.That’s what they would say to you if you lived in Gaul (France) in those times. That’s what the Apostle Paul would have said when he visited churches across the Roman Empire. That’s what much of Western Europe used to say.11.  ?????  (Ainngai)Language: InuktitutInuktitut is an Eskimo-Aleut language spoken in Arctic territories and the topmost span of North America including Alaska and Northern Canada.The nearest equivalent to  hello in the language is ainngai, which can be used to signify both “hello” and “goodbye.”“Good morning” is roughly translated as ullaasakkut, while “good afternoon” and “good evening” are unnusakkut  and unnuaqsakkut  respectively. Literally, they mean “In the morning/ afternoon/ evening”The Inuit culture doesn’t have a traditional class structure. One’s social standing  aligns directly with  one’s special abilities that help the community survive under extreme climatic  conditions. For example, a great hunter is a prized member of socie tyâ€"so is a great seamstress.In the Inuit culture, private property is very limited. Everything except one’s hunting gear and clothes are considered communal property.It’s also interesting to note that Inuktitut has no word equivalent for “please.” Uttering the English word “please” in these territories makes the speaker come off as being arrogant and demanding. Just something to keep in mind in case you wind up up North in one of your travels.12.  OsiyoLanguage: Tsalagi (Cherokee)Interestingly, the English name  for this language,  Cherokee, comes from the word chelokee,  which means “speaker of another language.” (And speakers of another language they are!)The Cherokee are a Native American tribe indigenous to Southeastern states like Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina.Osiyo  is how the Cherokee say hello.If you hear someone say “dohitsu?”  it means he is asking how are you. (You’ll find that in the Cherokee language, many times, a single word can be a full sentence.)Your reply to  dohitsu  should be to say  â€œosda, ihina?” This roughly means, “I’m fine, and you?”The Cherokee are a warm and welcoming people, and you may  find yourself needing to say, “wado” (thank you) many times to their hospitality.Well, that’s it for now.Youve got a dozen diverse ways to say a hearty “hello.” Dont stop thereâ€"feel free to get out there and learn even more about these languages.Ciao!

What Is Reactant In Chemistry?

What Is Reactant In Chemistry?So what is a reactant in chemistry and how it is utilized in the laboratory. The chemistry used in the chemical processes used to produce most chemical substances includes reactants that provide the potential energy source for the reactions, the product of the reaction (the pure substance) and the inert gas to be used in the reactions.As in all fields of chemistry, the reactant is the thing that gives life to the result, without which no reaction can take place. In this case, it is the product of the reaction that results in the pure substance and it is the inert gas that provides the potential energy source. In chemistry, the reactant is anything that can contribute to the creation of energy.As in all processes in the process of a chemical reaction, the reactant serves to accelerate the chemical reaction. In all cases, however, there is one common element in all cases, the product. That product may be pure or it may consist of other chemical substances. To make a reaction go faster and more efficiently, the reactant is the thing that initiates the reaction.The various chemical reactants used in these processes are usually referred to as proton donors. They include the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and sulphur. Other reactive products include the free radical. Although it is the simplest of the reactants, it is the most energetic and, therefore, the most important. It is the catalyst that initiates the chemical reaction.When we speak of the reactant, we refer to the group of substances that forms the products of a chemical reaction. There are some chemical reactions that cannot proceed unless there is a sufficient amount of reactant available. This is why one has to always find a way to get rid of the reactive products of a chemical reaction. For example, in the process of the chlorination of water, there is a sufficient amount of free chlorine available. However, if we do not know how to use chlorine properly, we may contaminate our drinking water.In the laboratory, the reactant is used in the process of chemical separation, and in the course of such experiments, the reactant is the element that results in the separation of different elements and compounds from their separate streams. It is used to separate the product from the total solution. Therefore, the reactant must always be given a chance to do its job and it must always be consumed as well, because if the reactant is not consumed, it could affect the process of separation.The term reactant was first used in the mid-eighteenth century by the French chemist and philosopher Robert Boyle. Boyle developed his ideas concerning the potential energy or power source for all reactions and explained what the process of chemical reactions are all about. He was the first person to show that the conditions necessary for a chemical reaction are the product and the reactant.

Tips on How to Become a Good Chemistry Adviser

Tips on How to Become a Good Chemistry AdviserChemistry advising is very much like the advising process you might undergo in medical school. You will attend formal lectures and write your final papers based on your findings. There are certain areas in chemistry which are considered more advanced than others. By following some basic guidelines, you can increase your chances of becoming a good chemistry adviser.The first thing you need to do when you enter college as a new student is to sit down with your college lecturer and look over all the material you will be studying for the upcoming semester. Review the materials and find out if any of them were on topics that you are already knowledgeable about. It is essential that you understand all the subjects thoroughly, especially if you will be giving your final examinations and giving a report to your professor. In this way, you will get a better idea of how you will be able to give the best answers during your exams. This is one aspect of chemistry advising which does not always come naturally.Some colleges will also offer or encourage you to work with a student adviser, who will help you through the entire process of becoming a college lecturer. You will get to interact with the instructor as well as the other students during your weekly meetings. This way, you will have the chance to discuss ideas and problems that may arise during your lab and lecture period.Make sure that you keep your materials organized in a professional manner. You may not be ready to study for long hours at a time, so make sure that you get your work done early in the morning. You should also have an organized workspace that is easy to access for you and your staff. If you will be working with a lot of different substances, it would be a good idea to invest in a nice filing cabinet.Before giving your final report, make sure that you research the area of your field well and make sure that you understand all the materials that you will be p resenting. Eventhough many students tend to rely heavily on their own research, it is still important to make sure that your report reflects your own expertise. The lecturer will see whether or not you are presenting yourself in a professional manner. If you do not provide the lecturer with a good impression, they will be likely to think twice about hiring you for future classes.Finally, make sure that you are fully prepared before going to actually do the actual work. Do not be afraid to ask questions and get advice from your staff and the lecturer. It would be extremely helpful to have a helper who can take the load off your shoulders. As your advisers are some of the most important people in your life, it would be a shame to take an unnecessary risk by doing everything yourself.Finally, the advice given above is by no means an exhaustive list of things to do when you enter college. Although it might seem like too much to think about, you should be able to find a way to fit all th e aspects of chemistry advising into your daily schedule. Just be sure that you follow through with the basics and that you do not procrastinate until the last minute.

Moving to Italy Expats Reveal Their Secrets to Surviving and Flourishing in Italy

Moving to Italy Expats Reveal Their Secrets to Surviving and Flourishing in Italy Brooke Neuman Did you know that there’s an estimated 50,000 Americans who’ve temporarily or permanently relocated to Italy? Whether it’s for work, warmer temperatures, or simply a new start, Americans are buying one-way tickets to Italy. And we don’t blame them! The country’s food, weather, people, and culture make it a very desirable place to live. Don’t be fooled, however, by the laissez faire lifestyle. Moving to Italyâ€"or any foreign country for that matterâ€"is no walk in the park. Moving to  Italy requires getting used to an unfamiliar language as well as different social and cultural rules. Local holidays will be different and things you consider staplesâ€"such as food, television, and magazinesâ€"might not be readily available. Lucky for you, we’ve interviewed several experienced  expats to compile a list of the best kept secrets to surviving and flourishing in Italy. “Dont waste time on missing people. By which I mean dont let missing people back home take precedence over making a new life in Italy. Theres no point coming all the way to Italy and then spending every spare minute on Skype with your friends and family back home,” says Kate Bailward of Driving Like a Maniac. “Get out there and enjoy what Italy has to offer. Youll be happy, and your friends and family will be happy that youre happy win-win!” While it’s tempting to bring every last possession you have with you to Italy, it’s extremely unrealistic. Whatever you think you need, cut it in half. You don’t really need 5 pairs of jeans or sneakers that all look the same. You’ll soon discover that living small is actually quite liberating and cost-effective. Plus, you’ll be able to fit everything you own in your tiny apartment or flat in Italy. Rule of thumb, only take with you what you use on a weekly basis. “If at all possible, avoid ever driving a car in Italy.   It’s not that the drivers are all murderous psychopathsâ€"which of course they areâ€"but the problem is that eventually  you  become one of them,” says Rick Zullo of Rick’s Rome. “I drove a car in Rome during my first six months in town and then wisely opted to preserve what was left of my sanity over the marginal ‘convenience’ of owning a vehicle. On the plus side, my defensive driving skills improved significantly.” “The first thing I tell new arrivals in Rome is say yes. Say yes to every invitation or social opportunity for at least 6 months even if you think it is something you have no interest in. You never know who you will meet or what connection you will make that can help ease your transition,” says Gillian Longworth McGuire of Gillian’s Lists. Before you arrive, take the time to learn some Italian, even if it’s just a few simply phrases and words. Learning Italian will come in handy when you’re searching for a job, getting to know your new neighborhood, and meeting other locals. “You can get by without it, but once you can hold a conversation that consists of more than just the answers to whats your name?, why are you here? and do you like Italy? youll find that your world opens up exponentially,” says Bailward. Make sure that you’ve filled out all of the necessary forms. If you’re looking to live, study, or work in Italy, you’ll most likely apply for a residency visa, a student visa, or a work visa. Different documentation is required for each, so be sure to check with your local consulate or the Italian Embassy’s website before you make an appointment. There’s nothing worse than moving to  Italy only to find out that you’re missing an important document that’s required to live there. And the last thing you want is to be tied up in international red tape or waiting in a never ending line at the U.S. embassy. Moving to Italy with a closed mind is a recipe for disaster. To truly enjoy your stay, it’s important that you let go of any preconceived notions and accept Italy as your new home. “Suspend all judgments, criticisms, and comparisons to your home country. Keep an open mind while you discover and learn about Italy. Consider the move as an adventure to enjoy,” says Melinda Gallo of melindagallo.com. Prepare yourself for hidden costs and extra unexpected expenses. For example, you may be charged an import tax on your belongings or you could be hit with a hefty medical bill. If possible, give yourself a solid financial buffer for when these types of expenses come up. How much money you bring will depend on your budget and needs. Experts suggest, however, bringing at least six-month’s worth of expenses. Things happen. Your apartment might get robbed or you may get in an accident.  Before moving to Italy, it’s important to have a plan for when these things happen. Learn how to get to the closest hospital and police station. It’s also a good idea to register with the embassy or consulate. Registering with the embassy provides you with assistance in the event of an emergency and allows you to complete various administrative formalities, such as taxes and registering to vote, more easily. Italy is full of surprises. Turn down a small quiet street and you might discover the best trattoria in town. Your train is 90 minutes late? Tough luck, there’s nothing you can do about it. Travel to one town over and voila! A completely different menu, says Sarah Dowling of Italy Project 365. The ticket machine on the bus isn’t working? You’ll have to get off and wait for the next one. Walk into town on a Saturday afternoon and you’re sure to come across a festival, a street performance, a live concert in the piazza. It’s a wonderfully confusing place to live. Moving to Italy should be one of the most adventurous and enjoyable times of your life. Make sure that it goes off without a hitch by following the tips above. Are you an expat living in Italy?

A Guide to Networking for the Socially Inept, Introverted and Reluctant - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / A Guide to Networking for the Socially Inept, Introverted and Reluctant - Introvert Whisperer A Guide to Networking for the Socially Inept, Introverted and Reluctant You know our type. We’re the kind of people who, for whatever reason, don’t really know how to start up a conversation. We’d rather hide under the table than start chatting with an unknown person, or stay at home watching reruns than go to a party. We’re your awkward cousin or the kid who sat behind you in biology. Is there networking hope for us? Yes. There is hope, and you’ll find comfort in knowing (for all of us procedural nerds) that it’s a process you can quickly and painlessly use. Like many things in my life, I’ve had to figure this out on my own, but I have followed it up with study. I know some people find it hard to believe I’m introverted since I’ve been known to speak to a crowd of a 1,000 people, but it’s true. It’s easier for me to do public speaking than make small talk. The difference is the type of talk and the setting when that talking takes place. As a speaker, I develop and deliver content with a specific goal in mind. It has a goal and a destination. I can research the topic and get prepared. For networking, all of that is out the door; you’re left by yourself to say something interesting. Egads! The difference is huge. Here are some things Ive learned about networking that really help if you’re an Introvert: What Is the Purpose of Networking? In the context of a job search, your network will be the number one way you’ll find a job. If you haven’t yet heard of the hidden job market, it’s the 80% of jobs businesses are hiring for that never get posted. The only way you’ll find out about them is if you connect with enough people who know what you do and how to connect you. Outside of the job search, you can think of your network as a vast web of information and connections. (Like this thought? Tweet it!) For your entire life, you’ve developed and nurtured your network. When you need a plumber, a doctor or a restaurant, you call your network. You learned as a small child that your network will share toys and sack lunches. We all have networks, but we oftentimes think of them as family, friends and work associates. Whatever you call them, you’ve developed enough of a relationship to call upon them for help and support throughout your life. Who Is Your Network? I could write one sentence here and be 100% accurate: Your network is everyone you know. Your network is the obvious people I mentioned above, but also clients, vendors, people you hire, the wait staff at Starbucks the list goes on. I should also add that you know something about these people. You may know limited things about them because of the place of business or setting in which you met them, but that is enough to get started. And now for the $64,000 question How Do You Get Past the Social Willies and Develop a Network? Think of networking as creating relationships with people. How do you create relationships with people? By getting to know them. You ask them questions about themselves! This was something I knew, but didn’t “know.” People think you’re a fabulous conversationalist if you ask questions about them. The more you ask others about what’s going on in their lives, the more you learn and can relate to them in the future. Let me give you a personal example. When my husband and I got married, my dad knew maybe four people at the reception. Yet for months afterward, people would tell me they had gotten to know my dad and thought he was great. Turns out he would approach someone and ask them, “How do you know Terry and What do you find to be the most challenging thing about networking? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Why A Strong Leader Must Be at the Core of Any Business - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / Why A Strong Leader Must Be at the Core of Any Business - Introvert Whisperer Why A Strong Leader Must Be at the Core of Any Business Even more important than the impact leadership has on your business as it stands today, one must look at the implications that it brings to the table in terms of the future of your organization in particular. The chances are high that even though you founded your business, youre not going to be steering the ship forever. Youre going to want to step aside gracefully at some point and when that day comes, hopefully, there will be a viable candidate to pick up the baton and carry on in the way youve always envisioned. Without prioritizing leadership today, however, there is a very slim chance of that actually happening.  Leadership Will ALWAYS Be the Core of Your Business Consider the fact that according to a recent HRPA study, 63% of millennials in the workplace feel like their leadership skills are just not being developed by the companies that they work for. As a result, a massive 71% of those millennials are looking for opportunities to leave their job within the next two years to help fix this problem as soon as possible. A failure to promote the other strong leaders within your organization besides yourself is a massive problem for many companies these days but thankfully, its also one with an easy fix. You probably already use a tool like Visme (which I founded) to create collateral aimed at bringing your message to the widest possible audience of potential customers. You can use those same tools to focus a leadership-driven message inward, too. Dont just create Infographics to get your customers ready for that upcoming product or service launch create Infographics that will also help you visualize the direction you want your company to go in for the next five, ten and even twenty years. Use it to convey to your employees the leadership skills that matter the most to you the qualities that you will collectively need to make those dreams become a reality. This is a great opportunity to not only get everyone on the same page as far as leadership is concerned, but to also begin developing some of those necessary leadership skills as soon as possible. Any type of collateral that you would create to broadcast an outward message can also be focused inward in these ways including presentations. Start creating presentations that will help you focus on the leadership skills that will align your efforts to further develop your existing employees with your long-term objectives as an organization. Not only will this go a long way towards actually getting everyone on the same page, but it will also be a great way to show the younger generations that work for you that you do value their skills and their place in the future of your business. When these people see that leadership development is actually one of your priorities, it will go a long way towards solving the problem of quality employees jumping ship in search of someone else to work for.  Actions Speak Louder Than Words Another important thing to consider is that sometimes the importance of leadership is best conveyed through action something that is true both in terms of how essential leadership is today and with regards to the types of leadership qualities you want to instill in the future managers of your brand. If you pride yourself on having a forward-thinking company, for example, you should constantly be on the lookout for new ways to put your money where your mouth is, so to speak. Take the type of marketing collateral that you create. Everyone these days is uploading videos to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter or YouTube for their customers. But is there an opportunity to go above and beyond that you may be overlooking? Instead of simply following the rest of the industry, consider forging your own path using a service like Uscreen. Uscreen is a video monetization tool that lets you sell your video content as subscriptions, for a fixed price. Using a tool like this, you have the chance to do things with your content that few others are actually doing you can create a streaming site built around your industry, develop an educational learning site and more. Not only will this pay off in terms of the additional return on investment that youre able to guarantee for your collateral today, but it also sends a number of important messages about leadership to your company. It shows that youre willing to take risks and always look for new opportunities to connect with your audience. It also shows that youre not content to simply reactively chase trends and are instead eager to proactively take advantage of some new ones on your own. Rest assured, these are the types of qualities and actions that people will sit up and pay attention to if you give them a chance.  A Strong Leader is All That Matters The only reason your business was able to get to where it is today is because there was a strong leader at the heart of it all: yourself. Youre more than just the captain of a ship youre the light in the darkness. Youre the person with the vision that people can buy into the one who they want to follow even when they cant necessarily explain why in words. The importance of this is something that cannot be overstated enough. But this need for a strong leader is something that, if all goes well, can and should outlast you a strong leader will always be the core of your organization. The simple acknowledgment of this fact along with the actionable steps that you take today to reinforce those ideas will determine whether or not your business is actually around in another decade or more.
