Isotopes in Chemistry - A Nonviolent History

Isotopes in Chemistry - A Nonviolent HistoryIsotopes in Chemistry is a term used to describe chemical variations of the same element. The phenomenon of isotopes is known as the radioactive decay of an element. The main reason that isotopes are so useful in chemical reaction is that they can be easily substituted with a deuterium atom, which has one neutron.Deuterium is a heavier atomic nucleus than the normal hydrogen atom. In order to maintain stability, the hydrogen atom has to have two neutrons, which is why it is referred to as a neutron-rich atom. Now, if you replace the deuterium atom with another atom with only one neutron, you would then have a deuterium atom with two neutrons, in a deuterium atom.The atoms of hydrogen and deuterium are what make up the foundation of atoms. Any other atoms of those elements would be impossible to break down into their molecules, so they must be replaced by their lighter isotopes.Isotopes in Chemistry are so important that they make up at leas t 99% of all chemical compounds that occur on earth. Because of this fact, isotopes in chemistry are highly regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is the job of the FDA to make sure that each type of chemical reaction, where isotopes are used, complies with the regulations. They are also responsible for determining the maximum number of isotopes allowed in any chemical compound.Isotopes in Chemistry do not give off enough radiation to cause concern when handling. Therefore, they can be safely used in medical research and on humans.Isotopes in Chemistry are also an essential part of the NASA program to build a fusion reactor, which will allow us to harness energy from the sun, instead of having to use nuclear bombs. This will help save the earth from the hazardous byproducts of nuclear fission, which include the radioactive wastes and radioactive elements that are left over after nuclear fission.Isotopes in Chemistry can also be used to make chemical explosives, which can provide a new way to quickly destroy fortified buildings and vehicles. These bombs can also be used to blast through enemy lines or make a massive impact on a large scale, when used with laser guided bombs.

7 Tips On Creating Workplace Motivation - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / 7 Tips On Creating Workplace Motivation - Introvert Whisperer 7 Tips On Creating Workplace Motivation Motivation is one of those interesting things.  We think it should just drop out of the sky like magic but it never really does.  We also don’t really think about how to create motivation for ourselves but we really can with the right tools. First, let’s get on the same page about what motivation is.  Motivation is what causes you to take action.  Clearly, you’re at work so you do have some motivation because your action is going to work and performing your job.  What we are talking about is feeling engaged and inspired about the actions you do take.  Let’s look at some of the tools you can use to get fully engaged and motivated in the workplace: Change â€" Nothing like changing things to really get the juices going.  You don’t want to change things just for the sake of changing; however, you want to change things that don’t work well.  With that, you must have a vision of what the right outcome would be and then you apply your steps to create the action for change. Goals â€" Many times the lack of motivation is due to a lack of direction or goals.  Sit down and figure out what would really get you up in the morning and make that your goal.  Having a goal isn’t enough, it has to be a goal that you yearn for or have some emotions about.  Once established, put together a plan for how you will achieve your goals. Keep in mind SMART for goals = Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Resonate, Time-bounded if you really are going to shot for something worth having Be accountable â€" The vast majority of us want to do things but we’re really lazy about doing them.  It’s often easier to diet or workout with someone because we have a person that is looking for us to perform. Find someone to hold you accountable to yourself and be willing to trade off the favor. Clean up your own internal litter â€" We all have baggage but sometimes we have so much of it cluttering up our life that it bogs us down and we fail to see what’s possible.   Surround yourself with the right people â€" Yes, your mother was right…it is important to hang out with the right people.  In this case, hang out with people who are inspired and motivated as it will be contagious. Research the issue â€"  Find out from others what motivates them.  In the process, you may hear something that would really be great for you.  Don’t be afraid to copy what works. Cop an attitude  â€"  Motivation creates more motivation.  Look for it and it will be there.  We often get hung up about our ability to control things in the workplace.  The one thing we can control is our attitude and approach to various workplace challenges. These tools for workplace motivation are simple to do which means there is nothing but you holding you up from trying them. Go to top Do you know what your next career step is?   Many people don’t.

Why I Volunteer - Jodies Story

Why I Volunteer - Jodie's Story Jodie is one of our new recruits through our partner TeachFirst. As she studied History at university, Jodie will start her teacher training next year in hopes to become a History teacher. She will be teaching high school students, but chose to take part in Tutorfair’s “Stretch Academy” volunteer programme teaching at primary level, as a way of easing her way into the education system. Jodie has so far given 12 hours of her time to Wilbury Primary School students, teaching a small group in year 5, helping them with their numeracy and literacy - focusing on verbal and nonverbal reasoning. How has your experience been so far? It's been such a good experience so far, as I truly feel that I am making a difference to these children's lives. How did you find working with the students? I've really enjoyed working with children in such small groups as it's allowed me to really get to know them all individually. It also means that when a child is struggling, I can go through the topic as slowly as he/she needs and therefore no child is left behind.  All of the children are highly motivated and are so keen to learn, which makes it so enjoyable to teach them. What will you gain from the experience? Teaching such young children has made me aware that educational difficulties begin from the start of children's education and how important it is to tackle these problems from an early age. This will ensure that no child is left behind and that children from all backgrounds have the same start to life. It has also given me confidence and drive for when I start Teach First later this year. Tutorfair and Stretch Academy Over 50 kids piled into the gymnasium at Wilbury Primary School to receive free tutoring run by the Stretch Academy with Tutorfair volunteer tutors. Stretch Academy founder,  Alex Lee  takes us behind the scenes of this truly inspirational programme. If you're a tutor, teacher or an aspiring educator looking to make a difference, please come find out more Find out more about Tutorfair's work with the Stretch Academy

Medical School 5 Moves that Will Get You On the Right Track

Medical School 5 Moves that Will Get You On the Right Track MCAT Medical School Admissions If you are thinking about going to med school, congratulations. You are to be admired for aiming so high and taking on a challenging field with many rewards. You'll need to be completely committed and driven to achieve your goals. Certainly, scoring in the75thpercentile or higher on theMCATwill be critical. However, there are a variety of others things you can and should start doing today to prepare. Start out by taking 5 moves that will get you on the right track today. 1. Hit the Books You need to be serious when it comes to making the grade. Your high school and undergraduate performance need to be beyond the normal level of expectations. You must excel in all of your courses. Beef up on math and science courses, proving that you can handle the intense load that lies ahead. When it comes to medical school, you can't just decide one day that you want to go and expect to get in. Whether you realize it or not, your past grades and performance with have a huge effect on your ability to get into the medical school you are hoping to attend. However, if your past performance in school hasn't been the best and you are still determined to go to medical school, you can start to work to bring your GPA up and get serious about school. 2. Get Some Experiences in the Medical Field To have an edge over other prospective students, demonstrate your devotion by gaining some experience in the field. Go above and beyond by volunteering to job shadow at the hospital or local clinic. Assist in efforts with the Red Cross. Apply to be an office assistant during the summer in a busy medical office or for amedical supplycompany. Look for opportunities and make yourself available. Whatever experience or practice you can get before applying to medical school will really give you a leg up on the other students you are competing against. You need to be willing to do internships and other jobs that might not pay a lot (or might not pay at all) in order to gain this experience. In many cases, the experience you gain before medical school can be priceless, so be willing to put in the time and work necessary to gain it. 3. Do Your Homework (Research) Become a part of research. Contact universities and hospitals that are performing clinical trials and ask to be a part of a research team. You might be the gopher, but you'll acquire valuable information and show initiative. This is another activity that looks great on your application. You can learn a lot from being a part of a research team, and it is a great way to gain experience. Oftentimes, you can get class credit for participating in research either as a patient or as a part of the research team, so make sure to look into options like that so your time will be well spent. 4. Give to Your Community If you are going to be a doctor, you need to demonstrate that you have compassion and a willingness to help others. Find opportunities to give the gift of your time in your community. Contrary to popular belief, your volunteer work doesn't necessarily have to be directly related to the medical field. Volunteering proves that you have the capacity for generosity, and it always looks good on your application. If you can find a volunteer opportunity that relates to the medical field, that could earn you bonus points, but it will be hard to find a volunteer position where you are actually doing medical work since most of those jobs need to be done by a professional. 5. Don't Put All of Your Eggs in One Basket Even though you may have a medical school of choice, keep your options open. Apply to a host of schools and treat each one as an opportunity to open the door to your future. As you are invited for interviews, make sure that you can clearly express your expectations and why you have chosen to enter this admirable field. While you are in the preparation stages, keep an open mind about other schools, and do research or make visits to the school. Focusing on one school could lead you to be devastated if you don't get in, and only applying to one school is foolish. Yes, applying to medical school can be expensive, but find a couple of other schools you would consider going to in case your first choice is not an option. Competition is fierce for med school and getting in won't be easy. Each school is looking for the cream of the crop. Do everything possible to make yourself stand out when you walk in the door. Keep your eye on the prize and continue to work diligently toward your goal., but if you haven't started yetâ€"get going today! hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(215486, '6baac2ae-05a3-4610-9d1f-265c8cbd809f', {});

Which Second Language to Learn to Change Your Life

Which Second Language to Learn to Change Your Life Which Second Language to Learn to Change Your Life Its 1:00 on a Friday afternoon.Youre in 7th grade sitting in one of those stiff school desks.Both of the kids beside you are sniffling. One of them has a cold and the other allergies.The kid behind you has his foot on the metal book holder attached to the bottom of your desk and wont stop jiggling it around.The bell rings and the teacher takes to the front of the class with a stack of papers that he explains are the forms to be filled out for next years classes. Whats one of the choices youll be making? Which foreign language will be your first. (Well, for those of us who didnt  grow up bilingual.)Obviously this is  hardly a great decision-making environment. And even if it had been, our minds were not so very sophisticated at that age.But now were adults! We can choose what we learn and how we learn. We can make good life decisions you know,  after weve spent the first three-quarters of the day binging on Game of Thrones  and a Pizza Hut Hot Dog Pizza.And whats the first problem mos t of us come up against in this adult world? Making choices. There are just too many options!Just think about all the different languages you could learn:  Arabic, Spanish, Lingala (spoken in central Africa), Thai, Esperanto (the most widely spoken artificial language), Japanese, and on it goes. Its estimated that there are around 7,000 languages.So how do you pick just one?Thankfully, learning any one language tends to go a pretty long way, so theres no need to stress out. All you have to do is think clearly about your priorities, about what you hope to gain out of learning a new language. Lets take a look at some of the most common motivations for learning a second language and the criteria you can use to make your decision. Which Second Language to Learn to Change Your LifeFor explorationA lot of us get the idea of learning a second language in our head because we want to explore. And I mean  really explore, not be led around by the hand by some dull witted tour guide. We want to talk to the people of the country, to hear them speak in their own language about their loves and hardships, their fears and hopes.There are a couple of different criteria that you might use if the desire to explore is what drives you. One good metric is the sheer number of countries that speak a certain language and the diversity of those countries. For instance, thanks to the extensiveness of the former French empire there are more countries that use French than any other language besides English. Plus those countries are all scattered across the globe, from the Americas to Asia, making French a prime target.But perhaps youre a connoisseur of quality rather than quantity. When someone says the world exploration to you, it conjures up images of traveling by foot or pack animal into the areas of the world whose cultures are rarely conveyed to the world at large. In this case,  your criteria for a language need simply be whether or not its connected to a culture that is outside th e purview of the English media. In this case, good options include:Nahuatl, spoken in Central MexicoQuechua, spoken in the Andes region of South AmericaJavanese, spoken in parts of the Indonesian island JavaThough if you really want a challenge, try Pirahãâ€"a language with no numbers, spoken by a small group in the jungles of northwest Brazil.For knowledgeAre you a scholar? An independent researcher? A future Ph.D. student with a burning desire to draw all the worlds knowledge into yourself? Why not take a shot at those  languages which have the highest book publishing rates? Looking at things this way highlights the disproportionate amount of publishing by some countries, such as Japan publishing nearly as many books as all of India.By knowing just one of these  widely used languages, you could have access to hundreds of thousands more books every year. Or if papers not your thing you could just as easily take a look at which languages have the most online use. Chinese, Spanish   and Arabic are all good options for an Internet language.But just as with the desire for exploration, there is both an quantitative and qualitative way to measure the merits and demerits of each language in terms of access to knowledge. You might choose a language based on how  different the information in that language is from your own. While its harder to measure this statistically, some choices are far from difficult to make. If politics tickles your fancy you might learn Chinese or Russian,  languages attached to sovereign states with agendas often sharply at odds with those of English speaking countries. If cultural dealings are more your sort of tea, then pretty much any language connected to a non-European population will do, such as Nahuatl or Quechua as described above.Dig into the literature of a second language just a little bit and you might be surprised at just how little you knew about the world beforehand.For influenceDo you like the idea of people always talking abou t you? Do you like to see your name on things? While Trump-level name recognition may be forever out of your reach, some languages provide greater opportunities than others to see your name stamped on a foreign language edition of a book or article.In case this is the sort of multilingualism that satisfies your deepest yearnings, MIT has produced a wealth of data for you to pick over.  Their research reveals that the languages which  we might tend to think would be influentialâ€"such as Chinese and Arabic, which have huge volumes of speakersâ€"tend not  to be quite so influential as their size suggests when it comes to book translations, Wikipedia articles and Twitter usage. Instead, languages like French, German  and Russian serve as major hubs, along with English of course. And other languages like  Dutch  have a disproportionately large level influence compared to their population of native speakers.Of course, the relationship between the desire to influence someone and the desir e for knowledge is a bit like two people walking down the same street in opposite directions. One of these desires is receptive and the other is active. Naturally, then, the metrics we use for one can easily be applied to the other. You might, for instance, look at the book publishing rate for each language and decide Chinese is a good bet after all.  Translations to other languages may be few, but there is perhaps a better chance of your getting published with such a large publishing industry. Of course some languages, like Russian, make a good showing by both measures.For wealthTurning  in an analysis of racial issues in modern America with South Park episodes making up the bulk of your sources probably wouldnt  turn out very well, would  it? Primary sources are important, even if theyre a pain to comb over. After all, how often do most of us personally check the sources of  something we read?But learning another language allows you to do just this. Youll be able to read about wha ts happening in a country through the people living there, giving you a much better idea of what business conditions might actually be like in that countryâ€"a complete  leg up on everyone else whos reading news filtered through a foreign media outlet.As for which specific language to choose, GDP and GDP growth rate together provide a nice measuring stick for where money is going to be pouring out of in the near future. The languages of China, India and Indonesia all stand to be sure winners with home countries that have precipitous GDP growth and that are already included in the G-20 group for major economies.Of course, you dont need to be a businessman to make your foreign language skills turn a profit. There are always the age-old professions of translation (the written word) and interpreting (the spoken word). The key to success here is finding a language high in demand, but with few skilled translators or interpreters. China may have a robust economy, but think of all the Chine se immigrants in the US who can speak flawless English and who will fight you for that translation job. Instead, one might try a language like  Japanese  where few speakers  also speak English at a high level. Arabic  wouldnt  be a bad choice either and, with Brazils rising economy, Portuguese is becoming a good option too.For enjoymentThis is perhaps the easiest method by which to choose a language. Its irrational and arbitrary, but will support your language learning expedition in a way that little else ever could.Did you grow up watching Korean dramas and listening to K-pop? Or perhaps you stuffed your face with French Nutella when all the other kids were eating Snickers bars. Whatever it may be, its often those little things in life that give us some emotional attachment to a culture and a language that we would otherwise have no connection to.If you havent made a deep connection to any language yet, just look around your room. Where do the things you like come from? Who writes the books on your shelf? Who produces your beloved stereo system? Establishing an emotional connection like this is probably the most rewarding way one could set out to choose a language, as ridiculous as it may sometimes seem. Nothing like learning Japanese  just because you wanted to be able to read the credits on an old Atari game.For saving faceIf a sense of intrinsic reward doesnt do it for you, then maybe social shaming will. Although theres some debate about how bilingual the average world citizen truly is, a comparison between Europe and America isnt favorable to the States.According to a 2001 Gallup Poll only 25% of Americans could hold a conversation in another language while another 2006 poll by the European Commission showed Europeans being able to accomplish this task at a rate of 56%.And Europe is hardly the most multilingual part of the globe. Southern Africa, Indonesia and India are some of the most linguistically diverse regions in the world, more than twice as dive rse as parts of Europe, and naturally this helps increase the likelihood of multilingualism.So perhaps you just want to learn a language, any language, to  show that the English speakers of the world arent so closed minded as theyre sometimes made out to be. In this case, one might simply select a language by how quickly one can learn it.  Spanish is the classic easy language for English speakers, but other languages to consider include Norwegian, Dutch and Afrikaans, the South African descendant of Dutch.Truly, there are as many ways to choose a language as there are people, but for most of us there are simple criteria we can apply to make our choices easier. With a little digging youll be able to find a language that suits your innermost pursuits, including everything from exploring the world to making money. And One More ThingOnce youve chosen a language to learn, youll want to get down to the business of actually learning it, and for that, youll love using FluentU. FluentU mak es it possible to learn languages  from music videos, commercials, news and inspiring talks.With FluentU, you learn real languagesâ€"the same way that natives  speak them.

Heres what real FluentU users have to say about how FluentU fits their needs:I started using Fluentu having only a beginners knowledge of Spanish. After one evening with this app, I felt I learned more than Duolingo and Rosetta Stone combined. They seemed to take up so much of my time with no real progress. Now I can form whole sentences instead of just identifying fruit!  â€" Chantal ThiessenI love that you see the definition of every word and hear how a native speaker pr onounces it in context. It is just as important to know which words to emphasize in a sentence as it is to know the pronunciation of the words themselves, but this information cannot necessarily be ascertained just by looking at the sentence on paper; you have to listen to somebody speak in a natural setting and FluentU gives you that opportunity.  â€" John HempelIts the program Ive always wanted, because when I try to watch Spanish clips on Youtube a lot of the time the subtitles are wrong. Even if theyre right, I always have to have Google Translate open at the same time anyways and look things up when I dont know them (which is unfortunately still quite a lot). I love that the subtitles are all right there with correct definitions and other examples. Better than Rosetta Stone for getting the language down and miles cheaper. Love it!!  â€" Lisa NicholsonIm not only a perpetual language learner, but a teacher myself. And out of all the language methods Ive come across, the rest sco re from 0 to 3. This is the 10.It has literally defined a new path for the self-taught.Where once we had to struggle with simultaneous dictionaries and poorly translated materials mostly without subtitles, now we glide across real-life content where one can see the hand of the teachers behind each and every word.I particularly love the fact that I can endlessly click on any word or expression to whatever depth I wish, until my curiosity is satisfied at any point while watching the videos.The quiz algorithm is not only smart in terms of taking note of our weak points, but also has countless examples in different contexts so we are guaranteed to understand the concept explained.The amount of material is staggering. And all conveniently connected in terms of concepts to learn.Duolingo is like a low resolution black and white, blurred shadow of FluentU.Congratulations, keep it up. Its most definitely worth the investment.Before FluentU I had to force myself to study. Now, Im actually lo oking forward to it, like my fun time in the morning. Its addictive :)â€" Hikarus Guijarro-FayardI love FluentU because I can listen and learn dialogue from real advertisements that are aired in China! Also, in the role play series showing conversations between native speakers, the dialogue feels more authentic and contemporary compared to the often dry, boring dialogues found in textbooks. Using FluentU has given me more confidence and is helping me to understand Chinese in real-life everyday settings!  â€" Kiandra SquiresOf all the available programs and various learning material I have tried in the past, including Duolingo, I have found FluentU to be among the most effective methods for learning. I began using FluentU as [an] auxiliary tool for better improving my comprehension in the language but have later come to find the program to be effective as an all around learning mechanism. I have found it to be incredibly effective for improving vocabulary, understanding colloquialism s and idioms within various countries, as well as intense practice in common speech.â€" Anthony J. LopezI am enjoying FluentU. I have been using this site for a couple weeks and I have definitely noticed a huge improvement in my vocabulary. I love that it uses a lot of relevant clips like Norman fait des videos to practice REAL French, and it is presented in such a fun way that it makes it easy to practice.
