Organic Chemistry 2 Mechanisms Cheat Sheets

Organic Chemistry 2 Mechanisms Cheat SheetsOrganic chemistry 2 mechanisms cheat sheet can be a real time saver for many chemists. Organometallics is the fundamental science behind the building blocks of life. It is important to understand all the components of an organic chemistry 2 mechanisms cheat sheet so that you can find out how they fit into your research.The first mechanism is resonance (torsion) which is just like the classical resonance but more complicated. In organic chemistry 2, resonance is defined as the harmonic number of a particular chemical substance. If we add some atoms together to form a molecule then the molecules will look exactly the same as the smaller molecule. However if we change the position of one atom we can shift one of the electrons around to a higher energy level or the other atom can change one of the electrons' position.This is a very effective mechanism, and in fact is the basis of the most efficient reactions in science. Another effective mechani sm is kinetic, which is the particle-like nature of molecules. That is, molecules are known to be particles that absorb, emit, and move along a chemical reaction by displacing electrons and returning them to their original place.The third mechanism is ionic bonds, which are made up of two elements or two ions that share a common covalent bond. Organic chemistry 2 refers to these covalent bonds as covalent bonds.The fourth mechanism is electrophilic and hydrophilic reactions. Electrophilic means 'electron rich', while hydrophilic means 'hydron rich'. These are basically molecular clusters that are attracted to one another due to different interactions. These two types of reactions are mostly used in organic chemistry, although with the process of biochemistry, the three mechanisms are combined in molecular biology to create complex reactions.In addition to these three mechanisms there are also a variety of others, which can be added to them. The main thing is to know what those are, how they work, and the importance of understanding them.A tool that can be used to get this information is the organism-based search. If you have a list of molecules, which you want to search for, you can use the organism-based search to get the right one for your research. Simply look up the molecular structure in this tool and then select the correct organic chemistry 2 mechanisms cheat sheet from the list.

Tips for Singing with Allergies How Do You Cope

Tips for Singing with Allergies How Do You Cope Suzy S. Spring is in full swing now, and for many, allergy season came right along with it.   Allergies can wreak havoc on your tone, breathing and vocal cord strength and just like you should take special care when singing with a cold, taking extra precautions if you have allergies is just as vital. Allergy symptoms can vary person to person, but common woes include itchy, puffy eyes, sinus issues, a scratchy throat, and an itchy upper palate (roof of your mouth).   If you suffer from severe allergies, its best to go to an allergy specialist to help you combat the symptoms (make sure to mention that youre a singer).   But even if your symptoms arent severe, they can still be frustrating when you need to practice or if you have a performance coming up. So whats a singer to do?   Here are a few great tips from ForeverSinging.com that may help: Take Medicine If you are having trouble with your allergies, or perceive that you will have trouble with allergies in the future, be proactive! Start taking allergy medicine as soon as you feel an attack coming along.   Allergy medicines dry up your sinuses, allowing you to sing without have to worry about mucous covering your vocal cords and hindering you from singing to your full potential. Precautionary Warning: Drink plenty of water after taking the medicine. Not drinking water after taking allergy medicine can be just as bad as singing with allergies. If you find that medicine dries you out too much, you may want to forgo the medicine route and use a more organic medicinal approach to relieving allergies, such as taking Vitamin C pills. Drink Herbal Teas Herbal teas have a wonderful way of clearing out your throat of any excess mucous. Add a touch of honey to your favorite herbal tea to enhance the experience. Teas can soothe your vocal cords and allow you to approach singing without a fear of cracking or breaking. Take A Shower If all else fails, take a long and hot shower. This will get your sinuses flowing and hopefully release all the excess drainage from your system. Drink some water after the shower (or even your favorite herbal tea) to remove any leftover drainage on your vocal cords. Proper training and breathing exercises can also help, so dont be afraid to speak with your voice teacher to get additional ideas! Of course, if youre really feeling the strain, take a day off. The voice is an incredibly delicate instrument, and unnecessary stress may cause problems that will follow you for the rest of your life.   As the saying goes, its much better to be safe than sorry.

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.

All Work and No Play - ALOHA Mind Math

All Work and No Play “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” Fred Rogers It’s common for parents to wonder how our kids are having a much tougher time of it, and how much more of a fun and carefree time we had as children. While trying to enrich our kids’ lives with extra-curricular activities we shouldn’t forget the importance of play! Here’s why playing and the outdoors should be an important part of kids lives’: Reduces stress: Playing an outdoor game and expending that built-up energy is a great way to reduce stress in kids. The endorphins that are released when you are active are a major reason for this feel-good factor. As kids grow older, they require a certain amount of physical activity, and recent studies have shown that even children who are hyperactive could experience calming benefits from exercise. Improves concentration: Many recent studies like this one seem to indicate that including exercise and fitness in your child’s schedule contributes to improving their cognitive functioning in class. This was also the case for children diagnosed with ADHD where it was found that a half-hour of physical activity before school resulted in better attention spans in the classroom. Pic source: http://bit.ly/1x5Mr1a Builds social skills: Playing a sport has a social aspect as well! Being a member of a team helps children learn about team dynamics and how to interact with others to achieve a common goal. A lot of long-time friendships may begin on the sports field. Moving towards fitness and health: Once you make a beginning to introduce physical activity as a part of your child’s daily routing, you are setting them up to continue with this healthy approach for life. As adults, we know how tough it is to make time for fitness routines in our sedentary lives, so let’s start our kids on this path early and make it a habit! About ALOHA Mind Math ALOHA Mind Math has been guiding children between the ages of five through 12 years to achieve academic excellence since 2007.
