Chemistry Poems

Chemistry PoemsChemistry poems make a marvelous way to deal with the entire issue of knowing and understanding chemistry. Chemistry, as a science, is simply the study of nature. The chemistry, being a science, refers to the study of how things come together in order to complete a reaction. Chemistry is also known as chemical sciences and the classes that it encompasses are the physical sciences.Chemistry is therefore a branch of natural sciences. It is not confined to either one of these fields. Chemistry is divided into different branches such as periodic diagrams, homogeneous and heterogeneous elements, atomic structure, chemical properties and thermodynamics.A new theoretical structure and a framework for theoretical concepts are introduced every time a new aspect is studied. In chemistry, this is the method of new analytical methods for detection and measurement of chemical properties. Chemical equations, the basis of all analytical study are used by students in the preparation o f works on chemistry and technology.Through this kind of poetry, students acquire an interest for science and they enjoy the knowledge and the very laws and theories they find so interesting. They become obsessed with the desire to get closer to nature and with understanding its workings. They become fascinated by its wonders and by the creative sense it has to produce, resulting in those poems. The poems are good enough to get them to think and reflect on the mysteries and experiences they have come across while performing their studies.Chemists use it in their reading materials. They read them to give them inspiration in learning about their field. The students read it when they need the inspiration and the information to motivate them in studies. They get so into reading the poems that they stop at nothing to understand the meaning of their academic lessons. After reading the poem, they can start thinking scientifically.Poetry provides pleasure to the people for many reasons. It adds humor to the simple topics of biology, botany, chemistry and physics. They become extremely close to nature as a result of reading it.A poem that is known for its descriptive and realistic views is always appreciated and used in various occasions. It is a wonderful way to overcome the apprehension and to bring cheer to one's heart as well as improve one's mind and outlook on life.

English Spelling Advice Double Consonants

English Spelling Advice Double Consonants Teaching English spelling makes me feel like this guy... but its still important!Ive just realized that one of the aspects of learning English we almost never write about here is English spelling. This also happens to be one of the most difficult parts of English, both for non-native and native speakers.English, as Im sure you know if youre reading this, is not a phonetic language. So the words are not always spelled the way they are pronounced. There is some logic to the spelling though, as well see with double consonants.Look at these words with double consonants. Which is correct?Acted or Actted?Planned or Planed?Heres the rule. If the original word is just one syllable and ends with a consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) then we double the last consonant. So with the words above, the original words are act and plan. Both are one syllable, but act ends in two consonants and plan ends in CVC. Therefore we write acted and planned.Now we will look at words with two syllables. Which is cor rect?Traveled or Travelled?Prefered or Preferred?Once again, we look at the origin of the word. If it end in CVC, we only double the consonant if the stress, when pronounced, is on the second syllable. This is where it becomes important to take lessons with native English speakers, and practice your listening exercises, so you can hear where the stress should be. The roots of the words above are travel and prefer. In  travel, the stress is at the beginning, in prefer the stress is at the end of the word. So we write traveled and preferred.How was that? Any questions? Let us know in comments, or schedule a class and we can help! Violet This was a very useful and easy to understand explanation. Thanks. ANA Sorry, Im not a native, but this is not right!! WE WRITE TRAVELLED!! LOIEnglish Hahaha! Actually it is correct. traveled is American English and travelled is British English. We spell several things differently. Another good example is: jewelry or jewellry also marvelous or marve llous. Something similar happens with the m programme or program. Both forms are completely acceptable however you shouldnt mix the two spellings in your writing. Choose a style you are comfortable with and write in that style dont mix. Hope this helps! Thanks for the comment!

Memorable teach abroad moments from the UAE!

Memorable teach abroad moments from the UAE! We recently asked our teachers who are currently teaching abroad: “What’s your most memorable teach abroad moment?” With the recent interest of our Middle East teaching positions - particularly those in the UAE - we’ve decided to share our favourite stories from teachers currently teaching there! Donald, from Georgia, teaching in the UAE “The most memorable experience for me was the first day I walked in the class and was greeted by the students. Right then my fire for teaching was burning brighter again and it truly felt like I earned another chance to make a huge positive impact on children learning. Teaching abroad has changed my family’s life and has changed my outlook on life.” Raina, from Texas, teaching in the UAE “My most memorable experience teaching abroad so far is making life-long friends from around the world! I have come to realize that no matter where you are from, many of us are like-minded individuals that immediately form connections through this experience. My friends, even though I have not known them long, are my family. When you change your life with amongst a group of strangers doing the same as yourself, you tend to stick together no matter the differences. I absolutely love learning about everyone's various cultures, languages, and countries.” LaShari, from North Carolina, teaching in the UAE “I live and work 3 hours outside of the city of Abu Dhabi in a very small traditional desert community. The most memorable moment so far: one day I was leaving work and camels came running down the road while I was driving! Camels roam free so drivers must be careful.” Interested in teaching in the UAE? We’re currently hiring 1000 English teachers. If you have a Bachelor’s degree, teaching experience, and a ESL certificate and/or teaching license, you could qualify. Learn more about UAE English positions

4 Tips to Get a Study Abroad Experience at Home

4 Tips to Get a Study Abroad Experience at Home Tips From an Irvine College Consultant: 4 Tips to Get a Study Abroad Experience at Home Many students would like to study abroad but simply dont have the opportunity for one reason or another. Students who would like to become global citizens can mimic the study abroad experience to some degree without actually spending a semester in another country. Here are four tips from a private Irvine college consultant to get a study abroad experience at home. 1. Join an international club or society Students who are new to college can join the International Students Club or other multicultural society on campus. One of the greatest things about visiting another country is meeting the local people. Although it is good to learn about new people in their home environment, students who join an international club will get to meet new friends and classmates from all over the world. These friendships can be just as valuable as if they were made in another country (READ: 4 Things Study Abroad Students Dont Expect to Find in America). 2. Visit an urban area near campus Although many students do not have the opportunity to travel abroad, they will likely have the opportunity to travel to a major city within the US. In some ways, and when done right, this experience can mimic a small portion of the study abroad experience. For instance, cities such as San Francisco, Chicago, and New York all have vibrant and diverse cultural communities. Students who are able to travel to these types of cities on vacation can sample the foods, cultures, and living experiences of people throughout the world. This is one of the reasons why living in the melting pot of the US is so advantageous. 3. Study art or art history Students who take a class in art or art history will learn about artistic and cultural expression from all over the globe. Students can generally choose from Western art or Eastern art and will have the opportunity to view the history of other cultures through the eyes of their artists and musicians. Art history students are also encouraged to visit a local art museum with an international collection to get some insight into other cultures (CLICK: Best Art Museums in Orange County). 4. Choose a university that boasts an international student community Many major public universities will make a huge effort to have a diverse and international student population living and studying on campus. US-based students who would like to have a multicultural experience, but who are not able to study in another country, are advised to do research about the percentage of international students on campus at the colleges they are intending to apply. Students at such universities are bound to run into a diverse group of people and engage in a multicultural education (READ: How Should I Start My College Entrance Essays?). In short Although the study abroad experience isnt for everybody, (it’s a big step and is also quite expensive) there are several ways that students can stay at home in the US but still begin to become global citizens. Learning about different cultures, backgrounds, and languages is a great first step to becoming a well-rounded and educated adult. It is also a wonderful way to learn to communicate effectively and enjoy the company of different types of people once in the work place. The US is such a diverse melting pot where students can enjoy an excellent international experience right here at home.

Why Your Lack Of Sleep Might Also Be The Cause Of Your Weight Gain

Why Your Lack Of Sleep Might Also Be The Cause Of Your Weight Gain image via Pixabay A recent experiment that focused on the question of over-eating revealed the neurological impulses (triggered by lack of sleep) that compel people to snack more during the day. The reason for this phenomenon? After a poor night’s sleep, junk food becomes far more appealing due to the marijuana-like chemicals already present in the brain, whether you’re a smoker or not. This chemical, scientifically known as endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), resembles the same chemicals found in cannabis, but is naturally created by the brain. The chemical affects pain, pleasure and, no surprise here, appetite. As reported in the journal, “Sleep,” when test subjects were deprived of sleep, their 2-AG levels stayed higher, longer, and they consequently snacked on unhealthy foods. To put it simply: people find junk food harder to resist at this stage. The study was fairly small, but intensive, as there were 14 participants (all in their 20’s) who agreed to stay at the University of Chicago’s sleep center for four days. These subjects stayed in light and sound controlled rooms and had meals that were measured and prepared by the researchers so that everything that was eaten could be properly recorded. These subjects underwent strict sleep schedules, some allowed to sleep eight and a half hours and others only allowed to sleep four and a half. Researchers also took blood samples and chose what and when the volunteers could eat. For four nights, no one could eat until 3 p.m., at which point they were allowed to eat their fill of their favorite foods. Another meal was served at 7:30 p.m. According to the research, everyone overate at the 3 p.m. meal (an average of 2,000 calories taken in during this sitting). However, at the 7:30 meal time, those that got more sleep only ate an average of 600 more calories, while those awakened every day at 5:30 a.m. (which cut their sleep time in half) ate another 1,000 calories at that time. Typically, blood levels of 2-AG are low overnight and rise slowly and peak in the early afternoon. In the sleep-deprived test subjects, these 2-AG levels rose higher and remained higher throughout the evening. According to Erin Hanlon, a research associate in endocrinology at the University of Chicago that helped to lead the study, “We know sleep restriction inhibits cognitive performance. It inhibits impulsivity. You are more driven to overeat.” This relationship between poor sleep and overeating is of course far more complicated than it may seem after this study, as it probably lies in several other biological compounds as well, but it’s nevertheless there, and it’s something that needs to be taken more seriously. According to NBC, “Two thirds of Americans are overweight or obese. And the CDC says more than a third of Americans are not getting enough sleep. Obesity and a lack of sleep both raise the odds of heart disease and other health problems and a lack of sleep is clearly linked with obesity.” So what’s the next step? See where the 2-AG is getting overproduced. “I’d love to be able to figure out where the endocannabinoids are coming from. We know that it is made in the brain,” but Hanlon also said it may be made in the stomach or fat cells. According to Hanlon, “We are hoping to bring awareness to the fact that individuals need to think of adequate sleep and a good sleep routine as important aspects of maintaining good health. People need to stop invoking the old adage of I’ll sleep when I am dead.” However, this idea may be much harder to implement than meets the eye. Studies continuously show that artificial lights in computer and television screens are capable of causing insomnia and so can the overuse of social media and as college students, it’s safe to say those three components compose the entirety (or at least a majority) of our day. Also, the CDC says that there isn’t any real, proven sleep aid. So those 9 million Americans that claim to take sleeping pills may not be seeing any benefits. So get some sleep tonight your health may just depend on it.

How to Clean Your Guitar 4 Easy Steps

How to Clean Your Guitar 4 Easy Steps Suzy S. Congratulations to the class of 2012 for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Guns N’ Roses, the Beastie Boys, Donovan, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Laura Nyro and the Faces! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame selects the lucky few each year to honor their contributions to the rock world, with past winners including Elvis Presley, Ozzy Osbourne and Simon Garfunkel.   This year, there are also several events leading up to the ceremony, including the grand opening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s new Library and Archives, a free concert in Cleveland, and a series of educational events to teach students about the history and impact of rock and roll as a genre. Think youve got what it takes to be part of the Hall of Fame?   Artists are qualified for induction 25 years after the release of their first album so youve got some time to practice before your own induction ceremony.   Yes, you heard us now get to practicing! But once youre done jamming, its important to take a few moments for simple guitar maintenance. Hey, we know your busy but its the most basic step to ensuring that baby gives you years of jamming to come.   Check out these tips courtesy of http://learnguitar2.com: Right after you’ve finished playing is the best moment for some quick cleaning. You need to focus on the elements of your guitar that you’ve been using (touching) the most. 1. Wipe the strings with a soft cloth. Start cleaning your guitar by taking a cloth, grabbing a string near the bridge and moving the cloth all the way up to the nut. Also, take a look at the nut and the bridge of your guitar. If they need some cleaning, wipe them as well. 2. Take the cloth and wipe the body of your guitar, the neck and the fretboard. You can use a small amount of guitar polishing agent (be careful with standard polishing agents, using them might not be the best idea).   Don’t let the polishing agent get on your strings! And every once in a while (say, about once a month), check these off your to-do list as well: 1. Clean the frets. This is usually done every time when you change the strings. First you can take a cloth and wipe the frets. To get rid of some more resistant dust you can use some wire wool (the softest available). But you need to be careful not to destroy the frets, so be gentle.   Take a look at each fret and try to notice any recess and irregularities. You can correct this with wire wool or soft sandpaper. 2. Next, focus on the potentiometers, sockets and switches.   Remove the knobs from the potentiometers.     Then apply a small amount of potentiometer cleaner to the insides of the potentiometers, and turn the potentiometer up and down several times.   Getting to the sockets and switches can be tricky. You might have to remove the pickguard or some other elements, depending on your guitar’s construction. Once you’re there, use the same potentiometer cleaner and apply it to the sockets and switches. So take care of that guitar now, and who knows 25 years from now you might be attending the Induction Ceremony yourself!     Like these posts?   Sign up to receive daily updates right to your inbox!   Click here to subscribe.
