Finding Kid Tutoring Jobs

Finding Kid Tutoring JobsMany parents want to know if their child will be able to find tutoring jobs as a young adult. Well the answer is yes. However, there are some areas where you may not be able to find the kind of work that you would like for your child.First of all, colleges and universities are not in the habit of employing full-time tutors. They prefer to employ individuals who have a proven record of success at this type of work. So, you may not be able to secure your child for a job with the college they attend.This is because many of these people are looking for persons who have already completed high school. It's difficult to get into a college or university if you are not a graduate. Some colleges even refuse to hire a person with a criminal record.And although the particular college may be interested in hiring your child, they won't do it without first checking out your personal history. Many colleges will take an evaluation of your personal finances before granting you r child a job. You should prepare a written list of your personal finances. The college will use this list to make a decision whether or not to hire your child.If you have personal finances that are not in good shape, you may not be able to secure a job that the college is interested in. Also, if you have been in an accident or have suffered from some sort of physical handicap, you may not be able to get a job that has any sort of physical requirement.You may not be able to secure your child for a job at a government agency, such as the military or even the police department. There are some institutions that hire only trained professionals.Another thing that you can expect if you choose to place your child for a job at a university campus is that they will require that you take a background check on your child before they agree to let them start working. They will want to make sure that your child is not someone who has been in trouble with the law in the past.There are many differe nt types of jobs that a student can choose from for their own education. They can choose to do part time tutoring for a private individual, or they can seek out a full time teaching job in a college.

Crash Course Biology - 7 Things I Learned

Crash Course Biology - 7 Things I LearnedThis is the eighth post in a series on how to crash course Biology. I've learned a lot in the last few weeks and I want to share some of those things with you. Let's begin...I went to an assembly recently at the local high school. It was about evolution, and I was asked to write an essay in support of it. I was a little uncomfortable because I've always been pretty anti-evolution but after reading this stuff on evolution I decided to go with the guys who were leaning towards it. The one that made a fairly strong argument was a scientist named Dr. Brian Enos.If you haven't heard of him, he's a professor at the University of Tennessee, in Knoxville. In addition to his degree in microbiology and his work in genetics, he also does a lot of research on different organisms, including bacteria. For those of you who are not familiar with microbiology, it's basically all of the research that happens in the world of the living organisms. It's a really c ool subject and definitely worth investigating.The other great notes that I took from the lecture were the pictures of various things in the lecture. I'm sure everyone has seen insects, some of which were quite amazing. Of course, it wasn't anything like looking at a flower for example. But the human eye can't focus on all those beautiful things without some sort of distortion.While looking at those beautiful things, I also thought of something that's worth mentioning. Every organism, no matter how ugly, should be viewed as a baby. When it was just a tiny speck of dirt, it was a petri dish for experimentation, but now that it's been given the ability to grow, it's the whole organism.This brings up an interesting point. In the article, 'How to Crash Course Biology', there was mention of how humans evolved into what they are today. And while it's true that some people claim that Darwin's theory is complete rubbish, I don't know if it should be accepted as fact or not.This concept is a lot easier to understand when you see it from the inside out rather than the outside in. That's how I think of it, anyway, so maybe you'd like to consider it too.

A Guide to the Study Guide

A Guide to the Study Guide Everyone has their own method of studying, but the classic process of making a study guide is something you see quite often. But how can you make a truly great study material that will actually increase your chances of successfully retaining this information? Well, first off, it is vital that you understand the information rather than just memorizing it this may be something you heard your middle school teachers preach to you, but it really is good advice. Step #1: Identify all necessary information. Go through your notes, your textbooks, and every powerpoint slide that teacher presented and narrow down what is important to know for the upcoming test. Not only must you collect this key information, you must then proceed to break it down into terms that make sense to you. Studying facts that look foreign to you is not going to do any good, so rewriting each bit of knowledge in your own words is very important for your mindset to be able to take this on. Step #2: Categorize this information. Now that you have a bunch of statements that make sense to you, group them accordingly. This is where the actual creation of the study guide begins. Divide the material into sections, title each section with a clear and distinctive idea, and list bullet points of the coordinating facts under each one. This may seem very elementary, but unfortunately it gets easily looked over by students who are in a panic to simply get the information into their heads. Taking the time to create a logical way to do that often gets pushed aside. Step #3: Make flashcards if necessary. When it comes to remembering dates of wars or vocabulary definitions, staring at a well-organized packet of papers may not be the best way to go. Having flashcards handy will make studying practical and easy to do anywhere riding the bus, waiting in line at the cafeteria, and of course sitting at your desk the last few minutes before the actual exam begins. Flashcards are a spectacular way to test how you will immediately react to a question with no answer in sight. The plethora of answers staring back at you on a study guide can sometimes get too comforting and distract you from the importance of making sure you can remember them on your own, so use your best judgment to apply flashcards when needed. Step #4: Ensure your materials are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Anyone will get bored reading chicken scratch from a ballpoint pen on notebook paper. Keep yourself engaged by highlighting significant points with bright colors, drawing stars next to items you have trouble with, underlining and circling topics that relate to each other, etc. What makes a study guide pretty will differ from student to student, so this one is up to you. But dont ignore it staying amused during this process is important. Step #5: This one is sort of a give-in but study, study, study! Bring this guide with you absolutely everywhere. You never know when youre going to have a free moment, so youll be happy when you can conveniently reach into your backpack and undergo a quick study session. More importantly, youll be happy you made this perfect guide to look at in the first place rather than having to scramble through old notes or get to a computer lab. Happy studying!

Diversity of Regional Japanese Cuisine

Diversity of Regional Japanese Cuisine Japanese Cuisine: a Different Taste for Each Region ChaptersTraditional Food in HokkaidoThe Infamous Tohoku RegionThe Kanto Region: Do You Know It?Japanese Cuisine in Chubu: The Middle RegionKansai By Any Other NameTraditional Japanese Food from ChugokuShikoku: Udon ParadiseKyushu, North and SouthOkinawa, a Melting Pot of World CuisinesThe collection of islands called Japan spans nearly 7,000 landmasses; the four largest, called the home islands, make up 97% of the country’s land.Nevertheless, as this Land of the Rising Sun extends from the Sea of Okhotsk to the Philippine Sea â€" more than 3,000 kilometres, climate, soil type and tradition have a lot to do with what people eat in any given region.‘Region’ is a tricky word when applied to Japan.This word does not apply to administrative divisions or seats of government. To wit, there are 47 prefectures throughout Japan; several in each region save Hokkaido, the name of both the region and the prefecture.Furthermore, while there are eight High Courts in Japan, they are not assign ed one to each declared region.And then, there is even more confusion: should Okinawa, the southernmost island, be counted as a part of the Kyushu region as has traditionally been done, or does it deserve its own regional designation?How are regions declared if not by land features or politics?If you look at a map that marks out the regions, you’ll see that the Chubu region extends north, past the Kanto region and well into the Tohoku region.The factors that define a region are environmental: weather and geography, as well as cultural and linguistic â€" each region has it’s own dialect.Most importantly, because there is a heavy emphasis on freshness in Japanese cuisine, it is also an indicator of region: what might grow well in the northernmost island may not take at all in more southern latitudes.Superprof now goes on the hunt to bring you iconic dishes from each of the regions of this most exotic country.Get your chopsticks ready; from north to south... here we go!If you are l ooking for a memorable dining experience, find a place where you can sample Jingisukan: thin strips of meat and hearty veg straight off the grill.Find the best cooking courses London.The Infamous Tohoku RegionPlease don’t misunderstand: this area is beautiful; harsh in her weather and scenic with her wide vistas.Sadly, most people don’t know the name of this region but they do know the name of one of its major cities: Fukushima, struck by an earthquake in 2011, which caused a nuclear disaster.It is too bad that there is no focus on the foods in this region because, among all of the regional specialities, Tohoku foods are indeed outstanding.Take, for instance, the dish called Salmon Child Rice - harako meshi; it underscores this region's most important culinary element. Nowhere else in the country does salmon feature as prominently as it does in Tohoku.Another popular way to enjoy salmon is kelp-salmon rolls. are generally included in New Year oeshi boxes - those 'segregated' tra ys filled with delicious offerings.Not all is salmon in Tohoku. You can also enjoy hearty stews and hot pots or perhaps the complex blending of flavours stuffed persimmons provide.Also learn all there is to know about Japanese food specialities...The Kanto Region: Do You Know It?Most Japanese people from that region do not necessarily identify themselves as Kanto.Instead, Tokyo is the big name and the identification of the area’s authentic Japanese cuisine. Other areas include Chiba, Saitama, Tochigi and Gunma.What can you find to eat in Tokyo? Just about anything!As this city, formerly called Edo, was the country’s political centre for more than four centuries, most of the foods that originated in the Edo period have become standard fare throughout the country and certainly throughout the region.Local food creations are called Edo-mae; a nod to Tokyo bay from which the city’s seafood historically came from.If you are a sushi lover, you have to try nigiri-zushi â€" a fresh sli ce of fish laid over a small ball of rice.  Originally served at fast food outlets, it has graduated to being a menu item in the finest sushi restaurants in the city.Tempura also got its start there. Initially, only vegetables were so breaded and fried; it was much later that seafood received its golden, crunchy coat. Today, everything can be battered in tempura.Other regional specialities include:Soba: these buckwheat noodles are popular all over Japan but Tokyo’s dipping sauce is a bit different than the norm.Chankonabe: a protein-rich hot pot; the staple of sumo wrestlers!Tsukudane: small morsels preserved in soy sauce and sweet sake; served as an accompaniment of rice.Wagashi: small cakes filled with red bean paste, often in the shape of something cute â€" the Japanese love their sweets almost as much as they love their cute!Is this what could be considered traditional Japanese food?Raw fish overlaid on a ball of rice has become a popular dish in the Kanto region Image by Anna lise Batista from PixabayJapanese Cuisine in Chubu: The Middle Region“… a concept you should really become familiar with; it’s called unagi” â€" Ross Gellar, FriendsThe Chubu region is bookended by two historic and ancient cities: Tokyo and Kyoto. Unlike other regions, its 9 prefectures have little in common with one another.Also unlike other regions, this part of Japan has borrowed little in the way of culinary expression from its neighbours, making the food there unique.Nagoya is the largest city of the region and its cuisine is more hearty; in line with what we would consider comfort food.  Take, for instance, Misokatsu.It starts out as an ordinary tonkatsu dish â€" the panko coated, deep-fried cutlet typically served with cabbage salad and rice.  But, rather than the delicate sauce traditionally served with this meal, the offering is covered in a thick miso sauce.This region’s cuisine is also identified by its soups.Misonikomi is a hearty hot pot creation replete with thick noodles more reminiscent of dumplings than udon, the most popular type of noodle in Japan.Kishimen noodles are flat and broad like udon and are served in a fish-based soup or chilled and accompanied with a dipping sauce.Are you wondering about the unagi reference above?Nagoya is the country’s largest producer of unagi (freshwater eel); thus it comes as no surprise that it is the centrepiece of this region’s signature dish.Hitsumabushi is grilled eel covered in a rich, dark sauce and served with rice and various condiments. A small pot of broth accompanies the meal.On the other hand, if all you want is an ice-cold beer and something to nibble on, you might prefer tebasaki: unbattered, deep-fried chicken wings that are salty, spicy, crispy and crunchy.Look for the ones that are dusted with sesame seeds for an unforgettable taste sensation.look for official certification; it should be prominently displayed.Kobe is just one third of the story; Osaka and Kyoto join in to form a legendary regional cuisine.Obanza Ryori is what is generally served in households throughout this area; it consists of many small, simply prepared dishes that emphasise local seasonal produce.Shojin Ryori is fare that reflects a monk’s austerity.Because of the Buddhist tenet of not harming any living beings, these meals are vegetarian. Protein is derived from tofu and other soybean creations such as bean curd. Far from its bland reputation, these foods are quite tasty and filling.At the high end of the dining experience comes Kaiseki Ryori, whose origins stem from the traditional tea ceremony.  Subtlety is the key factor in this cuisine; seasonal produce is delicately flavoured and elegantly presented.Tofu, the core protein source in vegetarian meals, can be prepared in many different ways Image by quintonwu from PixabayTraditional Japanese Food from ChugokuHere again, people may not be as familiar with the region’s name as they are with its principal city, Hiroshima.It is rath er interesting that this region’s name, written in Kanji, is Middle Kingdom... exactly the same as China’s. For that reason, this area is also known by an alternate name: Sanin-Sanyo.This area accounts for around 70% of Japan’s total oyster production. A typical donburi (rice bowl) in this area consists of oysters on a bed of rice.You can also taste your share of oysters on the Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki, a grilled battercake topped with cabbage and Yakisoba noodles as well as oysters.If you’re looking for a spicy meal, tsukemen would suit perfectly.These noodles are served cold, the perfect vehicle for the sauce, of which you get to choose the degree of spiciness. They are accompanied by sliced meats, eggs, cabbage or leeks.Momijimanju are small cakes shaped like a maple leaf and filled with red bean paste.They were originally hand-crafted to celebrate the local maple tree viewing; today they are mass-produced and available with a wide assortment of fillings.Shikoku: Udon ParadiseThis region’s major food is the udon noodle; in its simplest incarnation, they are served in a dashi broth with scallions for garnish. You may choose to top it off with prawn tempura or deep-fried tofu. Often, a thin fish cake accompanies the meal.Seared bonito, a type of mackerel, is also a regional favourite.What this area is really renowned for is its citrus fruits. The yuzu, in particular, enjoys great popularity, with everything from juice to sweets being so flavoured.Because this area is sparsely populated, there is little in the way of remarkable in this regions culinary repertoire but, if you’re feeling really adventurous, you could try udon ice cream!  Yes, it is topped with spring onions.Would you try these top Japanese recipes?Kyushu, North and SouthThe third-largest and southernmost of the Japanese islands is home to several distinctive cuisines, one of them indigenous to Kagoshima.This style of cooking is also known as Satsuma-ryori after that area’s forme r name, what we call a certain citrus fruit that comes from there.One of the area’s signature dishes is called satsumaage; it consists of deep-fried fish paste, perhaps served with vegetables or pickled ginger.Keeping with fish as a staple food, you may also find a sashimi called kibinago, served with a vinegar-soybean paste.From there, we leap to torisashi, a sashimi of chicken... including the heart. Naturally, as this meat is eaten raw, it must be very fresh.If you prefer to eat cooked flesh, kurobuta or kuroushi would probably satisfy. They are pork and beef, respectively. The pork’s ancestry is particularly remarkable; the animals were imported from Berkshire!You can eat this pork as tonkatsu or in a hot pot. The beef is generally served as a western-style steak.On the northern end of the island, Fukuoka enjoys a more diverse cuisine due to its proximity to the Asian mainland.Therefore, you will more commonly find ramen dishes and gyoza, or pan-fried dumplings.Thin circles of dough encircling ground pork, cabbage and spring onion, these dumplings are Chinese in origin, as is the motsunabe, a hot pot made up of tripe (beef or pork), cabbage, chives and peppers.Unlike Chinese food, most Japanese cuisine uses little garlic but this dish does include it, giving further testament to this region’s melding of other cultures’ tastes into their own.Delicately sliced sashimi gets an unusual twist in the Kyushu region Image by Piyarat Toomsap from PixabayOkinawa, a Melting Pot of World CuisinesNowhere else in Japan are you likely to find taco rice or yaga sashimi â€" raw goat’s meat presented in the same manner as the more popular raw fish dish.Umibudo, meaning ‘sea grapes’ is the type of seaweed that does look like grape clusters. It is usually served as a side dish and takes little to prepare; only tossing it with vinegar and a bit of salt.Mimiga and rafute, two pork dishes make use of that animal’s parts that aren’t typically considered in the g astronomical mainstream, namely the ears and the belly.While rafute (boiled pig belly meat) originated in the Ryukyu royal court, the crunchy pig ears most likely came from another Asian country as the dish is overwhelmingly popular throughout the continent.Finally, there is tofuyo: aged, fermented tofu. As it is very pungent, it is only served in very small portions and generally speared and eaten with a toothpick.What is absolutely amazing about Japan is her culinary diversity.While the Japanese people may worship in the same way and live their lives according to the same cultural mores, what they eat breaks with that overarching sameness to give each region its own, distinct flavour.Surely they are all tastes worth exploring...Now see how Japanese food is adapted to tastes around the world...

Irregular Polygon Definition

Irregular Polygon Definition An irregular polygon can be defined as a polygon having the length of all its sides not equal to each other. In an irregular polygon the interior angles are not equal to each other. Irregular polygons can be categorized into following two types: Convex irregular polygon: They have all their interior angles less than 180 degree. Concave irregular polygon: They can have some of their interior angles greater than 180 degree. Example 1: Identify if the polygon given in the options below irregular or not and give reasons for your answer: a) Polygon ABCDEF with AB = 6 cm, BC = 6 cm, CD = 7 cm, DE = 5 cm, EF = 5 cm, FA = 7 cm. b) Polygon PQRST with angle P = 75 degree, angle Q = 75 degree, angle R = 75 degree, angle S = 75 degree, angle T = 75 degree. Solution: a) Since the length of all the side of the given polygon are not equal, so this polygon is irregular polygon. Example 2: Write whether the polygon given below is a convex irregular polygon or concave irregular polygon. Give reasons for your answer. Polygon DEFGH with angle D = 160 degree, angle E = 85 degree, angle F = 90 degree, angle G = 205 degree, angle H = 110 degree. Solution: The given polygon is a concave irregular polygon. In a concave irregular polygon at least one interior angle is greater than 180 degree. Here angle G is greater than 180 degree. Thus the given polygon can be classified as a concave irregular polygon.

A Guide to Common Test Questions

A Guide to Common Test Questions Whether youre taking a unit test, final exam, or standardized test, youre likely to be faced with a variety of question types. Just as you might have your own study style, you might have your own preferences when it comes to different kinds of test questions, as each one has its own tricks. Here are some clever tip-offs to the following most common test question types: 1. Multiple choice When faced with a multiple choice question, be sure to read the question completely, as well as all the answer choicesdont select one without reading all of them first! Even though you might feel like you know the answer already and want to save time, its best to read all of them because the difference between right and wrong may be in the nuances. Make sure to read for negative or positive signifiers, like none of the above or all of the above, as they could completely change what youre looking for. The process of elimination is an excellent strategy for multiple choice questionsrule out choices that seem obviously wrong, then reread the rest carefully, looking for completeness of answer. If youre still stuck, take an educated guess. Be sure to know how (or if) you will be penalized for wrong answers; if you wont be penalized, guessing can only help you and thus can take up less of your time. 2. Fill in the blank For these questions, youll be asked to fill in a keyword or phrase. Read the question carefully, aloud if youre able to. Look closely at the wording of the sentence/question for grammatical hints, like whether the blank should be a noun or verb (i.e. articles like a or an would signify that the blank is a noun). Like multiple choice questions, try not to leave the answer blank. Even if you dont feel confident in your answer, try to write something down, as partial credit may be awarded even if you describe the concept in a long-winded way. If youre given a word bank, try out different words in the blank and compare to see what sounds best; the sound of the word may help jog your memory. 3. True/false With true/false questions, youll need simply need to decide whether a statement is accurate or not. Be sure to notice qualifiers like all, only, never, and always. Sentences that include these words, because they are extreme, are sometimes false. On the flipside, look out for words like usually, sometimes, generally, and often, which can often signify truth. Make sure you look for negative words like no and not, that can trip up your understanding of the meaning. Also, be sure to read the question in its entirety to make sure all parts are true, or all parts are false, in order to answer the question as such. Watch out for trick questions where a statement may only be partially true, in which case, the answer would typically be false. Lastly, take comfort in the fact that if you guess, you have a 50/50 chance of getting the answer right! 4. Short answer Short answer questions generally require you to answer in a sentence or just a few sentences. Looking at how detailed the question is, as well as how much space youre given to respond, you can likely figure out approximately how long your answer should be. Make sure you answer all parts of the question, and if youre not completely sure, write as much as you know and can think of. Short answers often do receive partial credit and are graded on a scale rather than as completely right or wrong. 5. Essay question Essay questions ask you to write at least a paragraph, and often several paragraphs with an intro, a body, and a conclusion. To answer an essay question successfully, first read the question carefully, marking keywords to make sure you address all required parts. Focus in on the verbs, such as agree/disagree, compare, or persuade, as they inform the tone in which youll write. Be sure to know how much time youre allotted to write the essay and then budget accordingly. Its a great idea to jot down notes and a quick outline so you know where youre headed and can write more efficiently. Save time so you can do a brief edit of your essay at the end, but if you run out of time, consider quickly writing out any final thoughts in list format, as itll at least demonstrate to your teacher where you wanted to go, even if you may not receive full credit for it. Keep in mind the above tips as you encounter different test questions, which can even help you as you study beforehand. Sometimes, if you get stuck during a test, other questions and answers can help you decipher the ones youre not sure aboutthey can give you different information or help jog your memory. Overall, be sure to pace yourself and check your answers!

Linear Equations Graphing

Linear Equations Graphing A pictorial representation which explains the relationship between x and y is called a graph for those variables. In case of a simultaneous linear equation in x and y the graph is a straight line. The set of points whose coordinates satisfy this equation will form the required straight line. There are two methods for graphing Method 1: The equation in the standard form is written as y = m x + b where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept which is a point on y axis. Y intercept is placed in the coordinate system Starting from y intercept and using the slope we locate one more point on the coordinate system. We draw a line between the y intercept and the other point. Method 2: We can find the coordinates of any three points on the given line by giving arbitrary values to x and then using the equation to find corresponding y values. Then we plot the set of points on the graph Example 1: The points (3, -1) , (2, -3), ( 0 , -7) , (3.5 ,0 ) all lie on the graph of 2x y = 7 because they satisfy the equation. Example 2:John earns $20 per hour. How much does he earn working 3 hours? Draw a graph showing his wage. Solution:Let x be the number of hours worked ,y be wages The equation is y = 20x X ( hours worked) 0 1 2 3 Y ( wage in $) 0 20 40 60
