Vegetable Oil Chemistry - An Understanding of This Understanding of Oil Chemistry For Healthy Eating

Vegetable Oil Chemistry - An Understanding of This Understanding of Oil Chemistry For Healthy EatingThe vegetable oil chemistry is an extremely important subject for food preparation. It is used for everything from frying food to making salad dressings. If you want to eat the healthiest meals possible, it's necessary to understand how this substance is made.The vegetable oil or fat consists of molecules containing ethyl or another fatty acid. It can be obtained by reacting vegetable oils with other acids. In this process, some short-chain fatty acids are also produced. Some of the fats are liquid at room temperature, while others are solid at room temperature. The liquids are sometimes called solids.Different types of vegetable oils are available to help with the production of the oil. Some of the types include: cold pressed, extra virgin, vegetable juice, and light, vegetable lard. Cold pressed is the most popular and readily available oil, which is also the cheapest.Some chemicals are needed to make vegetable oil. Some of the chemicals include polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fatty acids. These fatty acids must come together in such a way that they increase the amount of energy in the vegetable oil. When the energy content is increased, the vegetable oil is said to be 'virgin.'Olive oil, for example, is also one of the most famous, popular and most commonly consumed vegetable oils because it is the best selling oil. It is a pure vegetable oil. Olive oil is the only commercially produced vegetable oil that has a high concentration of total fatty acids (FAs). The value of total FAs is greater than that of the saturated fatty acids.One advantage of olive oil is that it will not oxidize or become rancid easily. Olive oil is highly regarded because it will not have that unpleasant aftertaste and will retain its quality long after cooking. Another advantage is that it will not oxidize even if left out on the counter or on the windowsill.The amount of the mineral vitamin E in the vegetable oil is also important. There are many manufacturers who make good products out of oils containing vitamin E. Vitamin E is important because it prevents vitamin A and C from oxidation and prevents the formation of free radicals. This means that when there is a lack of vitamin E, there is a loss of antioxidant defense and a compromised immune system.

College Application Crunch Time - by TutorNerds

College Application Crunch Time - by TutorNerds College Application Crunch Time: Last Minute Tips From an Irvine Admissions Consultant Most college applications are due December 1st. If there was ever a time to hand in an assignment on time, this is it! Some high school teachers may choose to give partial credit to a student who handed something in late but colleges will never ever cut a student slack on this issue Our Orange County college admissions consultants are here to help. In all seriousness, if the paperwork arrives on the 2nd, they wont even open it. So now that it is November, what can you do in this very last month to make things work? 1. Make a check list If you are running behind on applications, it will be very easy to forget about tiny details. Make a list of each and every thing that you have to do and cross it off only when it is completely done. 2. Get that essay polished up Hopefully you have written at least a first and second draft of your application essay. Now is the time to get it polished up. If, for some reason, you haven’t started your essay, then call up a tutor or college counselor ASAP and get it done (READ: Ask a Nerd! How Should I start My College Entrance Essay?). 3. Choose a safety school I can’t stress this enough. Every student should apply to at least one safety school. Safety schools are ones that your college counselor has told you that you are nearly guaranteed acceptance to. Do not choose one of your target schools and designate it as a safety school. Pick a college with a nice campus that has the program you are looking for and add it to your list. 4. Find out about super scoring Find out if the universities that you are applying to use a ‘super score’. You don’t want to simply hand in your most recent SAT scores if it turns out that you could have sent in a super score that ended up giving you 100 composite points higher. 5. Get those teacher recommendations Hopefully, you asked two or three teachers who know you very well to write a lovely letter of recommendation. If November 1st has passed, now is the time to check up on them. Teachers are incredibly busy and most of them are looking forward to the Thanksgiving holiday break just as much as you are. However, if the recommendations don’t come in on time, it will leave you in a bad spot. Send a polite and respectful email to any teachers who haven’t yet returned your letters of recommendation (READ: The Best Way to Ask For A Letter of Recommendation). Just remind them that you are both excited and nervous to apply to college and that you want to have everything in by the due date. Don’t forget to thank them for their time. If you get a feeling that a particular teacher might be late sending in the letter, it would be a good idea to ask another person. It won’t hurt you to have an extra letter of recommendation. The ideal situation is to have completed the college application process the summer after junior year. However, this ideal is almost never met. If you find that you are down to crunch time, let your friends know that you will be spending the next couple of weekends focusing on applications. Get it done and out of the way so that you can sleep soundly on November 30th. All blog entries, with the exception of guest bloggers, are written by TutorNerds. Are you an education professional?

Online Tutoring

Online Tutoring At Tutorz.com there is a discussion going on about the disruptive changes of Online Tutoring. In this article we explain why online tutoring constitutes a disruptive change and how the market has embraced to it so far. Then we go on to present the Tutorz.com strategy to online tutoring which is essentially a online tutor referral service. Finally we review a Skype, the Bamboo Tablet and Skrbl.com as communication tools to facilitate an online tutoring session. Disruptive Change of Online Tutoring Online tutoring refers to the process of tutoring within an online virtual environment or networked environment where teachers and learners are separated by time and/or space. Both student and tutor benefit through online tutoring as they do not need to be present at the some physical location. Participants save the time and money to travel. At this feature is welcome at times of gas prices and high traffic congestion. Furthermore, the location independent aspects of online tutoring make it a part of the globalization of the worlds economic system. Inexpensive and well educated tutors in India can help students in America with their math homework, course work and science problems. Due to these wage level differences American students pay less for online sessions in comparison to the pay for in-home tutoring. Online tutoring is also very welcomed by the overseas tutors. For example the hourly pay to an Indian online tutor ($3-$10) is far higher than of most educational professio nals ($0.50 to $5), including the hourly wage of an Indian teacher. If an online tutoring session was recorded the student could later go back and replay the lesson. This is a very useful feature when hard-to-understand concepts must be addressed. After all learning is a lot of repetition. Another benefit of a recorded tutoring session is that it can be added to an search index to make it easily retrievable in later years and/or by other students. Current Market Responses to Online Tutoring Playing the global income differences and elimination of location constrains a number of online tutoring services have been established. The biggest players in this industry include TutorVista.com, Tutor.com, SmartThinking.com, Tutoringservicers.com and Homeschoolmath.net. These company command a significant share of the tutoring market and its brands are recognized by the education seekers. The Babson Survey Research Group said that more than 60 percent of academic leaders at private-sector colleges and universities say that online learning is critical to their long-term strategies. Online student enrollments continue to be the fastest growing sector in higher education. The perception among private-sector leaders of online learning and its impact on learning outcomes has grown more positive over time, with the majority saying online learning is the same or superior to face-to-face learning, a trend that has improved steadily since initially measured by the Sloan Survey in 2003. Tutorz Strategy to Online Tutoring At Tutorz.com we think it is futile to directly compete against big player like TutorVista or Tutor.com. These companies are in the market for about 10 years, have well established brands and are backed by venture capitalist. Therefore, instead of competing directly with these heavy weights, we will focus on the sub problem of online tutoring referral. As users of Tutor.com will tell you they cannot choose from a selection of tutors, they are given one. But tutees like to be connected with the right online tutor, thus there is work to be done in this area. By channeling online tutors from all over the world, users of Online-Tutorz have a great choice and can find the best tutor for their budget, qualification and availability requirements. The referral-only approach also alleviates Tutorz.com from developing our own communication tools (VOIP, whiteboard, video conferencing). After all a number of really good tutoring/communication tools exist such as Skype, the Bamb oo Tablet and Skrbl.com. While leaving the details of how to solve the communication to these great providers Tutorz leverages its core competencies, that of algorithmic matching of students with tutors. Tutorz.com plans to enter the field of online tutoring in 2012. Review Online Tutoring Tools Skype.com is probably the most advance VOIP (voice over IP) services out there. Skype is great because if you and your communication partner both use it there is no fees and no advertisements involved. Furthermore, Starting from Skype 4.0 there is a video call feature. Skype is reliable and works well on all major platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux). The list of other useful Skype features includes the ability of screen sharing. For computer or programming tutoring screen sharing is extremely useful. File sharing is another useful feature. Simply drag and drop your Word document (or any other file) into the message box and your partner gets it on the other end. Going on there are Skype-to-Skype conference calls and instant messaging and group instant messages. Receiving phone calls from the telephony network or calling general phone numbers requires a Skype subscription. But these payable services are not really needed for online tutoring. Other online tutoring tools include Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, AOL AIM and MSN Messeger. These tools are quite good and each have their pros and cons. But Skype remains our online tutoring tool of choice. On May 10, 2011 Microsoft bought Skype. We hope this will have no adverse effects on great Skype service. Bamboo Tablet. It is an electronic (hardware) pen-on-paper solution that consists of a writing tablet and a pen. It has a natural feel of pen-on-paper. The Bamboo tablet plugs into your computer. As to its pros, it is sturdy, the pen is comfortable to hold and has a slight rubber feel to it, no battery needed, comes with easy to install and simple to customize software. On the downside it has a only a small drawing surface and the eraser is not pressure sensitive. Bamboo Tablet is sold by Wacom and it starts at $55 for the tablet and pen. Skrbl.com is a online whiteboard service. Being a Software-as-a-service (SAAS) solution, with skrbl there is nothing to download, or to install. It supports the freehand drawing, and text mode. Skrbl saves and syncs your whiteboard automatically. But since drawing and write is primarily accomplish through a mouse, the results can be a jiggly and uneven. However, the Skrbl service is great to augment a tutoring session where ideas are shared on a white board such as math formulas or sketches of scientific apparatuses. Acknowledgement I want to thank Chuck Koehler and Scott Bishop for inspiring this discussion on Online Tutoring.

Rather, learning continues throughout the student’s day, and through life into adulthood.   Establishing a routine of a little bit of Kumon each day develops into a healthy lifestyle.   Daily practice is one of the central features of the Kumon Program. By practicing consistently, students build concentration and strong study habits that can follow into their adult lives.

How Do You Find a Korean Tutoring Job?

How Do You Find a Korean Tutoring Job?In the past, students who wanted to work as tutors, also needed to have good education. They had to be able to speak the local language, and speak to people the way their teacher spoke.The study of Korean has been done by many, but the problems that have surfaced in our society are a result of taking up this study of the language. Many students today are not interested in this kind of study. In fact, many people are saying that the language that was only taught to the foreign students of Korea, is the 'watered down' version of their own language.Korean also plays a role in making the Korean language more popular with non-Koreans. Of course, if you go to other countries, they will teach the native Korean to the students. But it seems that people tend to use this kind of language more frequently, because they like the style that it makes them speak. For example, when it comes to shopping, if someone wants something made in the right shape, he may s ay 'chang geul, gang say, a eul' or some such thing.There are a lot of people who are making a career out of studying the language. They find out that it is not that hard to learn, and it is very practical to learn to speak the Korean language.There are many places where one can get a Korean tutor for free. However, they are usually foreigners or expatriates. They usually teach English for a fee, or a little, and they charge a set rate per hour.People do not make a big profit from teaching the English language, because it is only a small fraction of what the market is made up of. There are many private tutors, who are working in their own homes. There are plenty of jobs for Korean tutors. They can work for any company that hires students. However, some companies will only hire foreigners and to be accepted, they need to have a diploma.

Volunteer Reading Tutoring Programs - Why They Can Improve Your Childs Academic Achievement

Volunteer Reading Tutoring Programs - Why They Can Improve Your Child's Academic AchievementWhen you are volunteering for a school or organization, your students will appreciate the experience of participating in the volunteer reading tutoring programs. For many, reading is one of the most challenging things in life, and is an important skill to learn. Whether you are preparing for college or higher education classes, or you just want to have some extra practice for fun, reading can help keep you on track.In many cases, students will need extra help with reading. The books they receive from their parents may not be enough to meet the demands of their grade level, which can cause frustration and even decreased grades. If this sounds like you, consider the time and effort you will save by volunteering your time in the classroom.Most volunteer reading tutoring programs will have some sort of activity to improve students' comprehension skills. This may include discussion groups for both students and teachers. Another method is to have a quiz before each reading activity so that students can prepare ahead of time.Sometimes, teachers will take this additional time and energy to help students who need it the most. This is one reason why a volunteer reading tutor may be able to increase your grades. But, why not take the extra time to teach your child to read? There are other benefits, as well.A child's self-esteem is linked directly to his or her literacy. Teaching a child how to read can greatly improve their self-esteem, which can translate into increased confidence, which in turn can result in a better attitude. In fact, self-esteem is one of the best ways to boost one's academic performance, as it can be used as a tool to motivate a student's study habits.Since children tend to become less confident as they get older, it's very important to correct this problem early. A reading tutor can help you do just that. There are many resources available online that you can use to help boost your child's confidence and enthusiasm. These resources will show you strategies that you can use with your child in order to help them achieve a more positive outlook.So, whether you are just starting to learn to read or you have been struggling with it for years, getting some extra help will be beneficial to you and your child. It doesn't matter if you are doing it to help with your own learning, or if you're participating in a book club or other activity that you enjoy. Just be sure to participate when you have the opportunity.

How to Join the Manga Readership

How to Join the Manga Readership How to Enter the World of Manga ChaptersSelecting the Right MangaHow to Read MangaOther Coding to Watch ForFinal Words on Manga FandomIt doesn’t matter if you think your age might be a barrier to enjoying comic books; bear in mind that not all comics are the same.If you long to immerse yourself into the fantastic world of Japanese cartoons, you’ve made a good choice: no cultural export offers such a diverse array of tastes and tales as manga and anime, its companion art form, do.We’ll not go so far as to say you should become otaku â€" in Japan, that is a derogatory term for a person obsessed.Still, if you’re casting about for where to buy manga and trying to decide which manga to buy, that means that you already know manga is a serial tale presented in graphic form, the number of volumes sold totalling in the millions.And those numbers don’t include anthologies like Shonen Jump or Ultra Jump!If you know all of this, you have already put one foot in the world of Japanese manga.  Superprof now opens that d oor a bit wider by revealing manga fundamentals.Come with us now for tips to help you understand what each frame expresses, with and without words, and how you too can ease yourself into the world of manga.Check out various Japanese classes London here.surely you understand!From one extreme (hentai is quite extreme!) to the other: Kodomo, the manga meant for the youngest readers.Their graphics are not quite as elaborate and the storylines are simpler and easier to follow.If you are learning the Japanese language, you might tease your hunger for more exquisitely drawn manga by starting with these light, easy-to-read tales.All types of manga create heroes - popular characters that garner legions of devoted fans. Discover some of the greatest manga heroes of all time...Manga ThemesWhile some comics series rehash common themes â€" good versus evil, for example, manga embraces virtually every aspect of the human experience.Furthermore, while a series might have a main theme, you would al so find elements of other genres woven into the story, so that several elements are visited within the same story.Some of the principal themes in manga include:ActionAventureRomanceScience-FictionFantasyMecha â€" dealing with robotsSlice of life: everyday experiencesSchool life: an excellent way to peek into the Japanese school experience!HorrorGirl magiciansSportsMusicEcchi (literally ‘perverse’)ComedyDo we hear anyone saying ‘spoilt for choice’?Bottom line: if you are between 10 and teens, any Shonen manga would work for you. If you are older than 20, steer yourself toward Seinen types â€" the horrors, the romance and so on.Or you could just pick up the manga that piques your interest!Criteria to Consider when Making Your SelectionBesides settling on a genre that interests you the most, there are other criteria to consider before picking up your first manga magazine.One of the first factors to think about is length.This presumably being your first time to read manga, it is quite possible that you might want to conclude an entire story arc within a reasonable amount of time.To that end, you may seek out such a graphic novel series that does not exceed 15-20 volumes.Plenty of serials comprise of fewer than 10 books. The so-called One Shot manga is deliberately short, usually only one chapter, less than 100 pages long.Interesting manga fact: most one-shots were drawn for entry into manga contests and some, like Dragon Ball and Bleach, went on to become series!The second point to ponder regards the works’ popularity.If you know nothing of manga, you might conduct an Internet search for ‘best manga’ and follow your favourite search engine’s recommendations.Blindly following search engine recommendations is not always the best idea and, in the case of choosing your first manga, it would be best to blend your gut feeling with those suggestions to make a choice that would be uniquely yours.What gut feeling?Think of the stories you typically enjoy. Wh at elements feature in them that you would like to find in Japanese comics?You may be surprised to find that even though you didn’t care for the Jack Sparrow movie franchise and thereby assume that pirates are not your thing, a pirate tale such as One Piece, with all of its fantastic elements, could be just what you're looking for!How does your manga library stack up to popular choices? Find out which are the most popular manga of all time...Manga is not read like other comic books, nor is it necessarily as colorfull Source: KanaHow to Read MangaYou might already have heard that manga is read ‘backwards’ - a statement not actually correct.Manga follows Japanese writing rules, even the stories themselves have been translated into English.Quick catch-up: that writing system goes from top to bottom and right to left; a far cry from our system of writing.For instance, to start your manga adventure, you would open the back cover to reveal the beginning.Where our books have a title page, a dedication page and a table of contents, the first pages of your manga would greet you with an author’s message, a list of characters and a brief summary of the tale.What Order to Read the Panels and Text BubblesAs with American comics, manga comics are organised to the progress of the story. Not all panels are the same size and one page may look drastically different from the next.Perhaps the most difficult aspect of reading manga is where to start â€" what order to read the panels.If the panels are the same height, simply read them, right one first and then the left one, all the way down the page.If the layout is more complex, you would still follow the right-to-left reading pattern. Even if a panel on the top-left of the page is twice the size of the right panel, you must still read that right panel in order to understand what the left panel represents.The text bubbles within each panel follow the same right-to-left order... but dialogue order is often secondary to othe r aspects of the panel  so, should you drop the conversation thread, no worries! You can go back and re-read it in the proper order once you get the sense of the story.The BackgroundGenerally, the action in manga plays itself out on a background of white â€" the better to highlight detail.There will be instances when the background will be black rather than white. That is a clue!You might gather from context, through the action or the dialogue, that the character in question is casting back through memory but, in case you don’t, the black background signals an inward turn.You may find such as a backdrop to a dream, a period of deep thought or to illustrate an alternative reality.Transitioning or graded backgrounds signal the departure of the current state. Here, the manga artist uses either black on white to signal a flashback or white on black to indicate a return to ‘normal’.Other Coding to Watch ForAs you read, watch for nuance and subtle clues to what else is going on Sour ce: KanaFacial ExpressionsAs in everyday transactions among humans, manga characters use facial expressions to show feeling.However, unlike our interpretations of such expressions, the Japanese meaning may become lost to the uninitiated manga reader; happiness or rage might be easy to intuit but other expressions are much more subtle.To signal a sigh, the character's eyes close and the mouth opens. The general countenance is one of sadness; a small cloud would depict the expelled breath.In anime, you may easily capture such nuance through the sounds that accompany the image but, in manga, catching the tone of a panel is a bit more involved.Blushing is a common feature in Shojo manga; it reflects traditional Japanese spirit. It is not easy to indicate the delicate rose of a blush when your medium is strictly black and white, so manga artists cleverly code the act of blushing through hatching.Hatching on the character’s cheeks indicates embarrassment or, contrarily, the blush of lov e.And how to depict excitement?Unless one takes a hit to the nose in combat, bleeding from the nose, especially in young male characters, represents exhilaration. You will see many instances of bloody noses in Japanese comic books!What do those drops of liquid mean?In general, if there are waterdrops anywhere near the character, you may intuit their meaning just from context.Still, for reference: a large drop on the head may represent shame, bother or tension. Conversely, if the character is in a fight for life, you will see smaller droplets of sweat dripping from his brow.How Noise and Sound Effects Are ConveyedManga series are quite clever when it comes to providing an all-encompassing experience, specifically how they use representations of sound to convey emotions, sentiments and reactions.They are also effectively placed so that the reader will ‘hear’ loud noises, such as a sword clanging on a shield or something breaking.Sometimes, sound effects are left untranslated for a truer representation of the original work.Even if you know nothing of the Japanese language, the context should provide enough information for you to infer that sound’s meaning.This may seem obvious but we spill it anyway: the larger the sound’s font, the louder it plays in the story.You can find a fun example of such in the Studio Ghibli masterpiece My Neighbour Totoro when that mythical character roars... in 128 point font!What else could be encoded in each manga panel? Find out everything you need to know about reading manga...The intricacy of the artwork can clue you in to that manga's target audience Source: KanaFinal Words on Manga FandomYoung readers have an embarrassment of choice when it comes to manga books.If that Kodomo division is where your first assays into rabid manga reading begin, you might wonder why cats feature so prominently.Doraemon is a sterling example of storylines built around cats.It is because the Japanese are mad for kawaii, meaning ‘cute’ - an d what could be cuter than a wide-eyed kitten?You will find kawaii nuggets in all manner of manga and anime from the renown Mononoke to the more tragicomic One Punch Man.Male Adolescence and MangaAs many manga artists know, the years between 10-15 are the ideal time for boys to pick up manga; that is why so many stories target that age group.And that is why the editors of the weekly Shonen Jump, manga’s #1 anthology, feature so many of those tales!That age group is also the time when adolescent males become interested in sports; the classic series Captain Tsubasa is a manga series that addresses such interests.Finally, the adolescent mind is nothing if not geared toward fantasy and magic. For those dreamers, the selections abound!From Fullmetal Alchemist to My Hero Academia, there are graphic novels for boys and girls to shape their love of Japanese culture, anime and manga!From Adolescence to Young Adults: Titles for AllHave you heard of Death Note or Attack on Titan? These are j ust two titles targeted to that reader demographic and they are not to be missed.At this point, the more mature books from the Shojo category tends to merge with Shonen insofar as attracting readers.For instance, Nana follows her boyfriend to Tokyo, both for love and to break into the Tokyopop scene (she is a punk princess!). She meets another Nana on the train; they ultimately become friends and roommates. The manga explores their lives and relationship.Note: the Shojo category is not reserved exclusively for girls!Manga for AdultsComic books aren’t just for kids! Even if you are more mature, you can find popular manga to suit your tastes.Romance? Check! Combat? Check! You will even find manga can be quite thought-provoking and philosophical, such as the classic Haibane Renmei or Kino’s Journey.As a mature reader, you might observe that no manga character is inherently good or evil, as is so often the case in other comics series. Usually, manga characters embody both aspects an d much of the story centres on their personal struggle between the two.There is no need to worry about your peers finding you strange for suddenly indulging in the fascinating, engaging world of Japanese manga.After all, these are not your average comic book; they may even inspire you to learn more about Japan and her culture... starting with Japanese language lessons so that you can understand those untranslated words in your favourite stories!And if you do decide to take that plunge, your Superprof tutors are ready to help you learn it.

No Friends At Work - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / No Friends At Work - Introvert Whisperer No Friends At Work? No Friends At Work? As humans, we all need some form of social interactions.  Some of us more than others, but we all do need and thrive on the simple act of connecting to people. Recent studies reveal how loneliness can even increase your risk of death by 26%! This is serious stuff! For the majority of us, our social fabric is created through work.  We see these people every day.  We have work in common.  We get to know them in ways that the spouse and significant others simply don’t.  When we leave these people due to job change, it can be painful. Yet despite all this social goodness that work can bring, what happens when it doesn’t happen to you? What do you do when you have no friends at work?  No one to save you space at a meeting or light up when you enter a room.  It happens, and when it does, there is no lonelier place to be.  It can be so impactful that it can cause a person to look for another job. What do you do when you have no friends at work?

Adding Three Fractions - Maths Online Tutoring

Adding Three Fractions - Maths Online Tutoring A fraction will always be a form of a / b where b cannot divide a completely and b 0. Fraction is also known as rational number. Steps to add three fractions: - Suppose if we wants to add three fractions 4/9, 2/3, 1/6. Step 1:- Find the L. C.M. of the denominators 9, 3 and 6. Factors of 9 = 3 * 3 Factors of 3 = 3 Factors of 6 = 3 * 2 At first find the common of all three numbers which is 3 and other two numbers 3 and 2 which are left. Product of 3, 3 and 2 is 18 So Least common factor = 18. Step 2: - Divide the L.C.M. = 18 by each of the denominator 9, 3 and 6 then multiply the obtained quotient with their respective numerators. So, For the first fraction 4/9: 18/ 9= 2 and 2 * 4 = 8 For the second fraction 2/3: 18 / 3 = 6 and 6 * 2 = 12 Similarly for the third fraction: 1/ 6: 18 / 6= 3 and 3 * 1= 3 Step 3: Now add 8, 12 and 3 which gives 23 Step 4: 23/ 18 Another example:- Simplify 1 / 2 + 3 / 8 + 5 / 6. Solution: - 1 / 2 + 3 / 8 + 5 / 6.=(1 * 12 + 3 * 3 + 5 * 4) / 24 = (12 + 9 + 20) /24 = 41 / 24
