The Science Behind Colloid Chemistry

The Science Behind Colloid ChemistryColloid Chemistry is the study of solids, liquids and gases under the control of surface tension. Colloids are often used as a key ingredient in foods or beverages. They can be synthetic, such as plastics, polymers or even natural ingredients like pollen.Colloids are developed through certain conditions that may include their properties, heat, pressure and other variables. Some common methods of isolating compounds include suspension, partial solidification, freeze-drying, filtration, encapsulation, compression, and even steam distillation. Combining different processes can yield results that look completely different.You may have heard of liquid hydrocarbons, such as petrol, which is actually a gas or a liquid hydrocarbon. Although there are other compounds that exist that aren't technically liquids. Let's take a look at some of these. Among these are gases like methane, ethane, and propane.Most of these are classified as being toluene, but it's i mportant to note that there are many ways to describe this gas. So we'll cover some commonly used terms: this gas, or andane, is a slightly less potent form of methane and is made by combining a mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen.Nitrogen is another gas that is sometimes considered a solid. Nitrogen is also commonly referred to as a gas because it is usually a gas. It's more similar to methane than any other gas.Carbon dioxide and oxygen are also considered to be toluene gases. Both are very common in some products. But in most cases, the presence of oxygen is not needed to make the gas. These gasses are known as aromatics.Many colloids can be classified based on the substance they are made from. Acids, aliphatic acids, alkanes, alcohols, amines, alkynes, anions, anhydrides, anhydrinoacids, benzene, carbonates, chlorides, chloride, cleaves, chlorinates, cations, chlorides, dimers, fluorides, hydroxides, hydrocarbons, ketones, glycols, isomers, ketones, phosphates, pyrroles, salv inorones, soxans, stannates, thiophenes, tetrahydrophenols, triptans, terpinenolates, and vanillin. Other name for colloids are emulsions, mixtures, suspensions, drips, droplets, vials, volumettes, and wort. If you're wondering how colloids work, here is the colloid chemistry definition for you.

Why teaching English abroad after graduation was the best decision of my life

Why teaching English abroad after graduation was the best decision of my life The decision to move and teach English abroad was inspired by many sleepless nights leading up to my university graduation. I was earning my BA in behavioral sciences and entirely unsure of what I would do next. Deciding what to do after graduation. The list of options was as follows: Apply for graduate school to become a psychologist. Stick with working in the non-profit sector, with the homeless population in Austin. Start applying for any job that sounded fun (hey, I was eager to pay my private school diploma off ). Throughout this, I kept thinking how wonderful it would be to just travel for a while, to have some time to work out what my next big decision should be. Given my student loan predicament, it didn’t seem possible to simply travel without any income, so I began to think about the types of jobs that allow you to travel, earn a decent wage, while still offering fulfillment. The one thing I’ve always known is that I want to spend my days being of service. If I can do that, I know I’ll feel fulfilled. I’m not the type to jump into anything without first researching all possible outcomes. Despite my desire to be more spontaneous, I just can’t help myself. So, the more I searched for that perfect career the more it kept leading me back to teaching abroad. Recommended reading: Why you should teach abroad as a college grad What qualifications do I need to teach English abroad? How to land a job teaching English abroad without experience Then, in a most fortuitous turn of events, I landed on the English Program in Korea (EPIK) website late one evening and discovered that I didn’t have to be a certified teacher to teach abroad. In fact, I didn’t have to have anything but the bachelor’s degree that I would soon be receiving. I began to fill out the very lengthy application form and became quickly overwhelmed. A medical exam, visa paperwork, apostilled documents, oh my. Taking the first step towards teaching abroad after graduation. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. I would now have to reach out to all of my professors and supervisors and explain that I wouldn’t need a letter of recommendation for graduate school but, for an English teaching job in South Korea. I stopped the application there and left it at that for a while. But I kept researching ways that I could become a teacher and move abroad while doing so. I discovered a number of recruitment agencies and settled on one that sounded like a good fit for me. The application process was less daunting than with EPIK and helped me decide on a region while breaking the process down into a more manageable step-by-step process. Meanwhile, I applied to graduate school - well, six schools to be exact! I awaited responses with bated breath and wrapped up my last few weeks of college exams and my thesis. During many late nights, I would travel, via the internet, to all of the places in the world that I wanted to be that weren’t Austin. I worked on applications for jobs with the recruitment agency I was working with and even started my online TEFL course. I also watched videos of people who had moved abroad, read their blogs, and through this, finally figured out where I wanted to live and teach abroad. Researching the best places to teach English abroad for graduates. I did initially fall in love with the idea of teaching English Thailand. I thought it seemed like paradise and a place that I could really discover myself and what I was meant to do. However, the more I looked into teaching in Thailand I realized it didn’t actually align with my goals. Although I would be able to teach underserved communities I didn’t think it would provide the right opportunity for me to become a well-trained educator. After looking into the most desirable and even least desirable options I settled on a country that seemed like my Goldilocks (“just right”) teaching destination. I decided to set my sights on teaching English in South Korea once more, as it was one of the highest-paying countries to teach abroad in, with the most attractive benefits and accommodations. EPIK also provides teachers training and orientation upon arrival, ongoing support and co-teachers to support new teachers in the field. I ended up applying to EPIK via a recruitment agency, which was helpful in that they secured and managed applications and interviews for me. I don’t know that I have ever been as nervous as I was when someone from the agency told me that I landed an interview with an EPIK school. That was to take place via Skype. With a number of school leaders. Who may or may not speak English. It was late in the evening, give the time difference, so I had a full day to sweat the jitters out. I read through every potential interview question and memorized my most appropriate responses. I even wrote them down and practiced up until the call came through. I made sure I was wearing a suitable outfit, that nobody could interrupt me and eagerly awaited that incoming Skype call jingle. Miraculously, I passed the interview and moved on to the second part of the application process! I considered the hard part over (little did I know that packing my entire life into two suitcases lay ahead). Throughout the entire process, I was incredibly nervous, which told me that this was actually what I wanted to do. When I received the message that I would become an EPIK teacher and was only awaiting which city and school I would teach in, I was elated. I waited months to find out where I would be placed but, unlike most candidates I really didn’t have a preference. I felt so grateful to even be accepted and had so much hope for the experiences to come, that I knew wherever I ended up would prove to be an amazing adventure. The traditional start time for EPIK teachers is August but I had a late start, beginning in September. This meant I wouldn’t complete my orientation and training prior to the start of the school year. I would be thrown right in, the day after I arrived. I was placed at a large elementary school in a small rural farming town called Jincheon. I couldn’t find anything about it online at the time (things have changed quite a bit by now). I really didn’t know anything about the school or the town but I knew that whatever I walked into it would be a learning experience. My advice: When in doubt, teach abroad after graduation! I could never have imagined that my one year in Jincheon would have been the start of my career teaching (both at home and abroad) as well as a catalyst for world travel that resulted in lifelong friendships. It truly was the best decision I’ve ever made and has shaped the person that I am today. I would highly recommend such a radical change to anyone interested in learning about a new culture, teaching about their own or just discovering themselves within the context of such a raw experience.

Money Management 5 Things Students Should Know

Money Management 5 Things Students Should Know Money Management: 5 Things Students Should Know Money Management: 5 Things Students Should Know 18-year-olds generally arrive on a college campus with little to no knowledge of how much things cost, what’s important to spend money on, and how to avoid being in debt. The majority of students will likely not have taken a finance and money management class in high school â€" although they probably should be required to â€" and are left to their own devices or, in some cases, a budget their parents set for them. Many students find out far too late how to manage their money properly and graduate with massive debt (READ: 5 Things to do Before You Go Away to College). 1. Create a budget For the most part, students don’t have a self-imposed budget at all, but those who do have a ‘general fund’ budget, meaning they spend only a certain amount per week total. For example, if a student has $100 per week, they will consider that to be their money for everything rather than breaking down the budget. A more organized way to budget is for students to look at percentages. For instance, if a student determines they need 50% of their weekly money for food and personal items, and they need 40% for a savings account, they then have 10% (or $10 in this case) to spend on pocket money. Most college students will not be happy with $10 of entertainment money per week and will either have to accept life on a strict budget or supplement with a part-time job. 2. Understand finances prior to leaving for college Students transitioning from high school to college will have way too much on their mind to also focus on managing finances. It’s important for students to understand how to manage their money prior to leaving for college, in an environment that can be monitored by mom and dad. For instance, students may earn $300 a week at their part-time job after school and decide they want to spend all of it on entertainment; leaving them nothing left to save for college. If their parents sit down with them and talk about having a percentage budget, one where only 10% of their income is for entertainment, they will learn how to manage money and how to earn money more efficiently (READ: Guest Post: Summertime Tools to Keep Your Mind in Shape). 3. Understand what’s essential and what’s not Many students report that they don’t have enough money for important things such as health insurance or college textbooks. For some students, the truth is they simply don’t make essentials a priority. Too many college students are living without important things, such as healthcare, but purchase things they dont need, such as new clothes and convenience foods. Its important for students to learn what‘s essential and what’s not before they can properly manage a budget. 4. Learn to balance work and study Being a full-time student and working part time is no easy feat. However, it’s mandatory for the majority of today’s college students. It’s important for students to learn about a work-study balance very early on so they can manage their education while still earning money. For instance, some students thrive in an on-campus work-study program where they attend classes in the morning, transition to work, and transition back to more classes in the evening. However, other students may need to separate their work and study lives. It may be a good idea for students to attend classes Mon/Wed/Fri and work Tues/Thurs or attend classes in the morning and work after lunch. If possible, this is a skill best learned in high school when consequences are less severe. 5. The credit card trap Many students attempt to solve their problems by putting things on a credit card. However, this can be financially dangerous and lead to thousands of dollars of debt in under four years. It’s especially difficult for students to have credit card debt to pay down in addition to student loans. Credit cards are meant to be for an emergency, for example if a student experiences a medical emergency or needs to have their car fixed to get to campus. Unfortunately, most students use credit cards as if they are liquid cash and often forget to or don’t have money to pay back the card at the end of the month. Students who struggle to pay off credit cards on time are encouraged to get a credit card with a small limit, perhaps $500, allowing them to pay for something in an emergency but preventing them from building up a couple thousand dollars of unneeded expenses in a month’s time. Students who have a history of miss using a credit card are encouraged to get a prepaid credit card where t hey can put a certain amount of money on it each month with no fear of running over their limit or building bad credit. In Short Although high school students are often not taught how to properly budget once they become adults, they will be responsible for their own finances. Although learning how to create a budget while adjusting to a new phase of life is extremely difficult, it’s an important skill to learn in order to avoid stress and excessive debt a few years down the road.

Scientifically Backed Ways to Clear Your Head While Studying

Scientifically Backed Ways to Clear Your Head While Studying The human mind can wander at the most inopportune times: during an important business meeting, a lecture right before an exam, or a significant personal conversation. In fact, 47% of people tend to be thinking of something other than the task at hand. The same people who claim to have distraction problems also report being unhappy. Learning how to stay on track can help your focus and peace of mind. Budget Your Time There are easy preliminary steps you can take to prevent getting distracted. Before you sit down to work, set reasonable goals for yourself. Create a schedule to determine what time slots you can reserve for work. Decline some invitations to social events if you think they'll interfere. You may even want to keep a diary of your work, which has been known to increase productivity. Meditate If you've sat down to work and your mind is wandering, know that you're not alone. An ancient practice has proven helpful for this: meditation. With only eight weeks of practice, you can improve your ability to concentrate. Some benefits can be enjoyed with only four days of training. Even subjects who have never meditated before felt that their memory, spatial orientation, and executive functions improve from this practice. Train Your Brain If you find yourself plagued by unpleasant thoughts, research the phenomena of suppression and substitution. While they use distinct neurological processes, each can effectively diminish the distractions caused by unpleasant thoughts. Harvard social psychologist Daniel Wegner determined that people can avoid fixating on one idea if they have an alternative idea to fixate on. For example, subjects successfully avoided thinking about a bear when it was suggested that they think of a red car instead.

Tips from an Irvine Tutor How to Overcome a Bad Teacher

Tips from an Irvine Tutor How to Overcome a Bad Teacher How to Overcome a Bad Teacher How to Overcome a Bad Teacher Your teacher is one of the most important factors in determining your success in a class. They give the lectures, assign the homework, make the exams, and give the grades. Like it or not, your teacher plays a large part in what you get out of your class. Here we’ll discuss a few loosely categorized types of “bad” teachers and what you can do to get around their imperfections. Type number one: The Anti-Teacher We’ve all had a teacher (or several) who simply cannot teach. Whether their lectures are too boring, their examples make no sense, or they just aren’t good at making lessons, a key component of teaching is to, well, teach. So, if you aren’t getting the information you need from the lessons, how else can you get it? Self-study: This is the most common, but most difficult solution. If your class had a textbook, chances are that reading and understanding the text will give you the knowledge you need to succeed. But be warned: you’ll need to make time to sit down, read, take notes, and check for understanding. You should know right away if this method is possible for you. When you read your book, does it make sense? Can you follow along and summarize what you read in your own words? Just staring at pages and copying vocab words does not constitute understanding. Video Lessons: If you are taking a common class, you will likely be able to find video lectures online for your subject. Many college professors have some class lectures uploaded, and other teachers make video lessons specifically for students to watch online. However, the tricky part might not be finding a teacher you like on YouTube. You’ll also have to match their lessons to the lessons you have in class and hope that the curriculums line up well enough for you to do well. Private Tutoring: Likely the most effective method to combat the anti-teacher is to hire a private tutor to help you understand the lessons. A private tutor will be an expert in the subject you are trying to learn, and they will also be able to tailor their lessons to suit you and your class. Your tutor can look at what your teacher is trying to teach you, and present it in a better way. At the same time, you’ll also be learning the material for your class, not a random similar class on the internet. Type number two: The Tough Tester So, you’ve taken notes, studied the class slides, read your textbook, and reviewed your assignment. You feel nice and prepared for test day, only to find questions on material you’ve never seen in your life. The test doesn’t have any of the homework problems that you practiced, and most of the questions were never even talked about in class. You bomb the test, but how can you prepare for the next one? Meet with the Teacher: The first form of defense against this type of teacher is to speak with them in private. Address your concerns, and ask them what they recommend for studying for the test. Maybe they recommend practicing the textbook problems, maybe they say to take notes on the lectures instead of studying the slides, or maybe you need to familiarize yourself with their style of questions. Hopefully, the teacher can help you. If not, you need to try another method (READ: . Look for the Question: Often teachers don’t write their questions or make their own problems. Many teachers create their exams from the teachers’ edition of a textbook, from question banks online, or from other teachers’ tests. A common cause of the Tough Tester is that they are making their tests using outside material without making sure that they teach that material. If you can find where they might be copying their questions from, you can look ahead to study those types of questions for future tests. Seek an Expert: If the previous methods are ineffective, you should consider going to expert advice. A private tutor in your subject can look at your class material and your test. They can analyze what you got wrong, why, and assist you in finding a solution. Maybe the teacher is using different words on the test than the notes, maybe the questions you missed were more hidden in your textbook, or maybe your teacher is looking for special insight or extra knowledge that they aren’t teaching you. A tutor can diagnose the problem, and help you find a solution. Type number three: The Overworker If you’ve had a class where you feel like you have more assignments due than some of your other classes combined, then you may have been an unfortunate student of an Overworker. How can you get a good grade in your class when there’s a mountain of work to be done every week? Plan Ahead: Assignments begin to pile up when you don’t start early and plan ahead. If you notice that your class has a lot of work each week, then you need to have the foresight to schedule a time to do work and the fortitude to follow through and stick to your schedule. This can be difficult for students with a tendency to procrastinate (i.e. most students), but an effective schedule and routine should alleviate the strains of all of the work. Try setting aside time each day to work on the class, even if nothing is due the next day. Learn to Prioritize: You should be completing every task that your teacher assigns you. This includes all of your homework, projects, and extra credit opportunities if you’re lucky. But it is also important to know what is worth your time and what isn’t. If you have a project to complete by the end of the week and a test on the same day, how should you spend your time? Well, if the project is worth 5% of your grade and the test is worth 20%, then maybe the ten hours you spent perfecting your calligraphy to write nicely on your poster could have been better spent studying for the test you got a C on. If you’re overwhelmed, try asking your teacher what’s most important. Find Accountability: If you can’t make an effective schedule or successfully manage your time and work, it might be time for you to find a professional who can hold you accountable for following through. A private tutor can help you plan ahead, tell you what to do when to do it, and what’s most important. When you have someone with you to help and make sure you follow through, a mountain of work can quickly erode into a manageable hill. If you cannot succeed on your own, there is no shame in looking for help. These are only three types of “bad” teachers. Most students have likely encountered at least one of these stereotypes throughout their school careers, and you may even have one of these teachers now. If you have a bad teacher, it doesn’t have to mean a bad grade if you can identify the problem, and find a solution that works for you.

Chemical Dispersions

Chemical DispersionsDispersive forces refer to a physical mechanism that acts between matter and the molecular in the air. If water is compressed, it can get 'squeezed' into the lower parts of the body. This is the result of force, where an area is added to the downward pressure. Due to its low density, it can be very effective in transferring the pressure of a large amount of air from one location to another.As mentioned above, if the force cannot be observed with the naked eye, it can be recorded through the use of GPR or Gaseous Propellant Ram (GP-R). This recorder is also known as the fluid injection method. As soon as the chemical reaction has taken place, the GPR sends an electric pulse through the instrument to record the changes in the gas. During the recording, the liquid-liquid scale would alter the droplet size depending on the chemical reaction and record the information thereon.GPS is another option to observe dispersion forces. It basically means the collection of data through the use of sound waves. The data collected from a GSM radio can be used to create a map or graphic representations. This GPS receiver can be calibrated to your local time to give you accurate time.Chemicals react by giving rise to gas which is released into the air. In fact, it is a chemical process, so the water molecules get squeezed between atoms. When there is a great mass of water, this is referred to as a weak dispersion force, where only a little amount of liquid can enter the air, and the molecules can be squeezed together to form a gas.There are many forms of dynamic gas dispersion. The most common form is the Vorticity Dispersion that requires the use of nitrogen. In the case of ammonia, the dissociation process involves nitrogen or its mixture with other gases. If there is too much of the chemical in the air, the atoms would start dissolving.These reactions cause air to be broken down. They are usually observed in the form of a cloud that appears to be white due t o the scattering of light. This is often referred to as the ultraviolet dispersion and the larger the volume of air the greater the effect.Dispersive forces are very useful in many applications. The main advantage of these is that they are able to test chemicals and other substances without exposing any person to them. Some examples are: the use of oil spill sensors to detect petroleum products, the use of GPS to see potential oil spills, and the use of dispersion forces in medical experiments. Dispersive forces are now being considered in the design of many high technology instruments and products.
