Why Read Dalton in Chemistry?

Why Read Dalton in Chemistry?Dalton in Chemistry is a man who was famous for his intellect and knowledge. In the early days of America, he was a man of accomplishment and high rank. This is what his students considered him and we too consider him to be an icon for today's young generation. He was nicknamed Dalton after the Chemical Composition of Nitrogen, an element that is one of the most essential and central component for all life on earth.Once you finish the book, I'm sure you are overwhelmed by the different topics that Dalton discusses in his book. Many books of chemistry contain many chapters with related topics, and sometimes even a chapter or two are divided in two parts. So what makes this book different from all other chemistry books?It is highly recommended to read the book by hand and a page at a time to master it. With so many topics, it would become difficult to grasp everything in just one reading, and you may lose patience with the pace and readability of the book.B ut, Dalton in Chemistry is divided into four major parts, each of which has the name of its parent element. A different topic can be found within each section, such as nitrogen, water, electricity, and also oxygen. These topics are divided into their different sections, and that's how the book is divided.You can opt to choose your own course. The section where Nitrogen is concerned has multiple sections, and each of the sections is preceded by a condensed version of the whole thing. This condensed version is further broken down into chapters. Each chapter is numbered, and in this way you can understand it more easily.Of course, the main content of the book is all related to the primary contents of Nitrogen. Thus, in order to avoid having multiple topics in your head, you have to start with the name of the parent element and then move forward from there. Dalton in Chemistry is not a book about science at all. He merely describes various topics, but it would not be right to call it a text book.You can find many references regarding the field of chemistry. One can also find a number of web sites dedicated to the topics related to science.

Can I teach English abroad with an associates degree

Can I teach English abroad with an associates degree Almost 700,000 people graduate with an associate’s degree, a two-year degree awarded at many junior and community colleges across the States, every single year. (Note: The Canadian and UK equivalent to a US associate’s degree are two-year diploma programs, offered at a variety of post-secondary education institutions.) There are so many great reasons to earn an associate’s degree. Whether you plan to transfer to a four-year college for a bachelor’s degree or better prepare yourself for the job market, an associate’s degree is a cheaper and less time-consuming way for any student to get their first two years of college under their belt. But what if you want to move abroad and teach English? Does your associate’s degree count for anything in the competitive global ESL job market? Where can (and can’t) you teach with your associate’s degree? And how can associate’s degree holders make the most of their credential when it comes to teaching English abroad? Read on to find out the answers! 1. Add more value to your associate’s degree with a TEFL certificate. The standard qualifications to teach English abroad usually include a bachelor’s degree, native-level English skills and a TEFL certification. If you’re falling short of this first requirement, then a surefire way to make your resume stand out amidst the competition (the majority of whom will have a four-year degree) is to get TEFL certified. Getting TEFL certified will not only get you shortlisted for jobs. It will also expand your ESL teaching know-how and help you impress at the interview stage. In short: It’s going to be difficult for you to get hired for a well-paying, legit English teaching job without a TEFL. 2. Search for English teaching jobs abroad you qualify for with an associate’s degree. Most government teaching programs (like EPIK in South Korea)accept only graduates with a bachelor’s degree. While China is one country where you need a four-year bachelor’s degree, there are a whole bunch of English teaching destinations overseas that welcome applications from associate’s degree holders with the right TEFL training. Take for exampleSouth Americancountries, like: Costa Rica Bolivia Chile Argentina Nicaragua These are all great countries to focus your job search if you’re interested in living and traveling in an astoundingly diverse, beautiful and dynamic region. (Yup, that makes two of us!) The salaries aren’t as high as you can expect inEurope or Asia, but the cost of living and competition for jobs is much lower. And if Asia is where you want to teach, don’t panic - all is not lost! Countries like Taiwan, Thailand and Cambodia don’t require overseas teachers to have completed a four-year degree - your two-year degree and TEFL certificate is plenty. And South Korea isn’t out of bounds, either. The TaLK program accepts candidates with an associate’s degree as well as students who are currently enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program. The perks aren’t quite as good as you’ll get with EPIK, but you’ll earn enough to live comfortably and explore this incredible country. Read this: No degree? 5 places to consider teaching English abroad so you can see the world this year. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. 3. Consider volunteer teaching job opportunities. English teaching opportunities overseas come in all shapes and sizes. If you’re into the idea of teaching English abroad on a volunteer basis, then there are organizations based in countries worldwide that are clambering to hire people with an associate’s degree. Usually, you’ll earn a stipend to cover your daily living expenses, plus accommodation costs covered. Best of all? By volunteer teaching abroad, you have the chance to live like a local and immerse yourself in the culture and community, rather than experiencing it as a tourist would! Sold? Get started by reading more about volunteer teaching English in China. Moving abroad is daunting for any new graduate. You’ve been in education for quite a while and the real world might feel like a terrifying place. But think of the amazing people you’ll meet, the life skills you’ll gain and the experiences you’ll encounter while teaching English abroad. The world is your oyster. Grab life with both hands and go for it!

4 Natural Tricks for Healthy Skin

4 Natural Tricks for Healthy Skin Image via http://sharing.turnto23.com Proper skincare is especially vital for women in their late teens and twenties because this is the time where development peaks and the most effective years in terms of preventing signs of early aging. We are all guilty of too much sun exposure or falling asleep with a full face of makeup after a night of debauchery and that is totally acceptable (although it should be prevented as much as possible). But in order to achieve your most glowing skin potential, you have to exercise proper care and maintenance of your face and you must be cognizant of the products that you use in order to radiate that natural beauty. If you remain consistent with a predominantly holistic (and affordable) skin routine, you can achieve that dewy no makeup needed look that every girl yearns for. Check out some of these super effective tips for achieving your healthiest skin ever! Always use protection I promise, this is not an inappropriate request. By protection I am referring to sunscreen obviously, or is your mind in the gutter?? Even if the weatherman is predicting cloudy skies, your face is still in danger of exposure to harmful UV rays. While we all love a good tan, chronic exposure to UV rays can lead to premature aging, wrinkles, sun spots, sagging and discoloration yikes! These are all consequences that we want to avoid not only in the present but that we definitely want to prevent in the future. To make sure that your skin is always protected from the sun, try not to leave home without applying SPF 15 or higher. You can do this with a moisturizer containing sunscreen or for those of you who prefer a little more coverage, try a tinted SPF moisturizer. Lemony hydration Image via http://zaiqatv.com First thing in the morning, depending on how much time that I have, I either take a shot of raw apple cider vinegar or drink a hot cup of water with fresh lemon before breakfast. I do this not only to wake up my senses, speed up my metabolism, and cleanse my digestive tract, but also to help my skin. The fresh citrus juice mixed with the hot water helps to purify the body, helping to eliminate toxins and reduce the chances of skin sensitivities. A boost of Vitamin C in the morning can also cut down on your body’s amount of free-radicals, causing your skin to stay healthy and work towards looking its very best. Scrub up Exfoliation is so important for healthy and radiant skin. A lack of exfoliation causes the dead skin cells on the surface of our skin to appear opaque and resultantly not reflect any light, resulting in a dull looking face. We definitely want to avoid this because lighting can be a complete game changer. As Michelle Pfeiffer once said, “If they have the right light on you, it makes no difference what face creams you use …” To find your best natural lighting (any time and any day), be sure to exfoliate biweekly with a light scrub that won’t dry out your skin.   You can even create your own mixture by making a paste of equal parts baking soda and water. Once made into a paste, apply the mixture onto your face and massage it into your skin for about a minute before rinsing off with cool water and patting dry. Not only is this DIY exfoliant easy and cheap to make, but it does a wonderful job at clearing your skin of unwanted dead cells. Tone up Image via http://newhealthadvisor.com Contrary to what many say, using a toner is okay and even an essential step to your skincare routine. Applying a toner subsequent to cleansing can help to balance your skin’s pH levels, providing you with a more even skin tone. Toners were originally introduced as a way to restore the skins natural pH after using conventional cleanser products. The skin has a very delicate acid mantle that normally has a pH of around 5. Soap-based cleansers are typically more alkaline (have a pH above 7), which can disrupt the acid mantle on the skin. When the acid mantle is disrupted, it promotes abnormal bacteria growth, and our skin becomes more susceptible to diseases, infections, and even wrinkles long-term. Toners, which are more acidic (a pH of around 3-4), restore the skin to its natural pH. Although we should be using toners, the store bought kind are typically a chemical soup of alcohol and fragrances, parabens, hydrogenated oils, and additives that aren’t even close to being necessary for anyone to have beautiful skin. This is why, along with ingesting it, I use raw apple cider vinegar as a natural toner. I mix one part apple cider vinegar to four parts filtered water and apply it to my face with a cotton ball after cleansing. Apple cider vinegar facial toner made from raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar balances the natural pH of the skin, and breaks up the bonds between dead skin cells (exfoliating) to keep skin pores open. It also can lighten sun and age spots, and can improve acne and acne scars. If you prefer to shop for your toner, be sure to choose one that is alcohol free.

4 Great Ways to Boost Your Student Resume

4 Great Ways to Boost Your Student Resume Fullerton College Admissions Consultant Tips: 4 Great Ways to Boost Your Student Resume GPA and test scores are just part of the college application process. Most colleges and universities want to see a well-rounded student who can add to the community once theyre living and learning on campus. Students are encouraged to think about what they can do to improve their student resume and stand out among the crowd while also exploring personal interests. When students do volunteer work or community service they also have a chance to figure out what they want to study while in college and want to do for a job once they graduate our private Fullerton college consultants are here to help you succeed. 1. Get involved in your local community Each community has different needs, which provide varying options for students in different areas. High school students will have a wide variety of opportunities to get involved in the world around them outside of the school environment. Students are encouraged to pick something theyre interested in because they will be spending a substantial amount of their free time on this activity. A future veterinarian can volunteer at a local animal shelter, and a future teacher can participate in peer tutoring. Of course, not every student knows what they want to do at this stage so they can take the opportunity to try several different things before settling on long-term volunteer activity. 2. Start a club or organization after school Its a good idea for students to get involved in extracurricular activities. Students who are especially motivated can even start their school club. Founding an organization shows a ton of initiative to get something started from scratch and demonstrated excellent leadership skills. High school students will need the help of motivated peers and a teacher, but they should be prepared to do a lot of the work themselves. Students who dont have enough free time to start their organization should consider joining an existing club that fits their interests. 3. Apply for an internship Most people think internships are just for college students, but many high school students will have the opportunity to work at a professional organization over the summer. They may be doing this on a volunteer basis, or they might be getting paid, but they will learn valuable lessons about the workforce. Just the process of applying for an internship will help students understand what it’s like to apply to college and a full-time job in the future (READ: 5 Great Ways to Help Pay for College). 4. Improve your work ethic Its essential for college-bound students to have an excellent work ethic. Once they get into the college environment, they will have a lot of responsibilities but little supervision. Universities know this and want to see that students can handle the workload and follow through on their responsibilities. Students can demonstrate this by improving their work ethic at school, resulting in higher grades and positive teacher recommendations but they can also get a part-time job over the summer. When students maintain a part-time job, they are demonstrating that they can show up on time, follow directions, learn from mistakes, and work successfully with others. Theres no mistaking the value of part-time work at this stage in a students life. Need help with your college applications? Our private Fullerton college admissions consultants are here to help.

What The Cold Weather Means For College Students

What The Cold Weather Means For College Students Image via Pixabay Ideally, you’ll want to check to make sure everything is working before the winter hits, but always let maintenance know of any problems ASAP, especially since it will typically take them a few days to get to you. Also, be aware of your dorm’s obligations. Though it’s very possible you won’t be individually able to control the heat/air conditioning in your room, there is typically a state minimum at which your room must be heated to in the winter. Do some research and if it’s below that point, contact the office to let them know. It might seem a little dramatic, but the cold temperatures are cause for students to be aware of their buildings’ regulations, especially when they feel that they aren’t being met as this ultimately becomes a safety hazard. Another important consideration for students is transportation especially if they have cars on campus. For one thing, you’ll want to allow plenty of time to get to your destination during the winter, as you never know what the conditions will be. Even if you use public transportation, stay up to date on the weather, as trains and buses are continually affected by weather changes and it’s very possible you’ll be late. But most importantly, maintaining your car is huge, especially when the winter rolls around. Tire pressure, washer fluid, batteries, automatic locks and having a low gas tank are always problems when it comes to the winter, and being well prepared is a great idea as we head into one of the coldest weeks we’ve had yet. For one thing, you’ll want to start your car throughout the day and let it run for a bit to keep your battery from dying. You’ll also want to have a full gas tank to avoid freezing same goes for washer fluids. Also, make sure your tires are full before the cold weather hits. Of course, this shouldn’t be a problem if your car is housed in a garage, but if it’s outside and vulnerable to the conditions, checking on it, even when you aren’t going to be using it, is a great idea. In terms of what students can be doing health wise against the weather, using a humidifier in the apartment can help dispel the dry, winter air and using preventative medicines such as Emergen-C will help avoid colds, which typically spread much faster in the winter months and as the seasons change. The cold weather is going to continue for quite some time now, so it’s important for students to get ahead of the game and understand that it could mean more than just a chilly walk to class.
