Learning Chinese on italki Ken

Learning Chinese on italki Ken Here is another story of an italki member learning a foreign language with a teacher online.   Ken is from Osaka, Japan and spends a lot of time traveling for work, therefore he needs a flexible arrangement for learning Chinese. [Translated from Japanese, original is below.] I joined italki almost 2 years ago. I started online lessons at the beginning of this year. In Japan the fee of the language lesson is extremely expensive, and it is easy to forget everything if you have only one lesson a week, so I chose italki where I can learn everyday with local teachers.   I initially did the trial lesson with several teachers. Now I study with only one teacher. [I chose this teacher because] she is very kind when she teaches and she also generously spares her time, even very early in the morning. [I started learning Chinese because] I wanted to talk more with my Chinese friends.   I feel that I progress day by day. Taking lessons everyday makes it easier to review the contents of the previous lesson and remember things more clearly. [As for learning online,] recently, Skype has been working well, so theres no such a big problem if you use it with video. Im kind of an idle fellow, so it offers better condition to study continuously rather than to study by myself.   Im hoping italki will continue to make a user friendly system,   and I expect them to succeed!

3 Things to Put on Your Student Resume

3 Things to Put on Your Student Resume Writing a Student Resume: 3 Things to Include In the past, most people didnt put together a resume until the semester before they were getting ready to graduate college. These days, students should be prepared to have a resume by the time they’re 16 or 17 years old. Student resumes are extremely important in order to gain internships, part-time jobs in their field, or to apply to university. Many high school and college students dont know what to put on a resume because many of them havent had a paid job. Here are the top three things students should put on their resumes. 1. Volunteer experience Volunteering is a job that people don’t get paid for. Just because a student didnt earn money doing volunteer work, doesnt mean that they cant put this valuable community service on their resumes. Students who have consistent volunteer work in one field will have resumes with a more streamlined look, demonstrating continued commitment. As a result, students who are choosing their volunteer work for this year or this summer should consider doing as many hours in one area as they can. For example, if somebody participates in two hours of peer tutoring, two hours at the homeless shelter, and two hours at the animal shelter, this leads to quite a jumble of experience on the resume and may lead potential employers to think that the student can’t stick to one thing. A student who is interested in education should consider volunteering at a peer learning center for the entire summer. This way they can add this as a legitimate position on their resume. 2. Extracurricular activities Students who participate in a club after school, especially students who founded or co-founded a club, should definitely include this information on their resumes. If somebody started an anti-bullying club, an art club, or exercise club, its important that this is explained in detail on their resume. This may be handed to a university admissions department, to an employer offering an internship, or even a paid job (READ: Extra Curricular Activities For Your College Resume). 3. Personal interests Seasoned professionals leave little to no room for personal interests on their resumes. In general, adult jobseekers do not wish to blend their personal and professional lives. However, in the past, having a personal interest outside of one’s field made a candidate appear more human and more personable. Interests are particularly important for jobs that require good social skills (READ: College Prep: When Your Teacher Throws You a Curveball). Including an interest section is even more important for students because these activities may consume a large part of their day. If a student is especially interested in playing piano but doesnt play in an official club, they can still discuss their love of music and appreciation of the piano. This may even inspire students to provide a few volunteer piano lessons to the underprivileged community or to volunteer to play piano at a local organization, essentially turning their interest in piano into a legitimate position. Its important that a student resume is both comprehensive and concise, can fit all necessary information on one page, and is easy to read and understand. Its a good idea for students to consult a professional in their prospective field or a private English tutor. Anyone looking at a resume should be able to understand exactly what is written, no jargon should be used, and the language should be entirely formal. Anyone out there who has reached their 16th birthday but still doesn’t have a student resume would be advised to put one together so that whenever the right opportunity arises they can send this important information to a prospective employer or internship opportunity at the click of a button.

Sexting for Sexs Sake

Sexting for Sex's Sake Courtesy of Lies Through a Lens and Flickr.com Dont: Send a picture of any skin the day after getting someones number. If you do, the person will likely think youre easy, or worse, a slut. Do: Send a picture if your partner has explicitly (visually or verbally) let you know its fair game. However, the picture should be classy enough that you dont reveal yourself completely, but risque enough to make a heart race in anticipation. Dont: Talk dirtier than you could reasonably do in person. You dont want to give the wrong impression and then let the other person down when they find out youre about as freaky as a priest. (Which, come to think of it, may be a poor point.) Do: Attempt to instill some excitement in your partner for your next meeting. If its past 9 p.m. and the conversation is getting cold, warm it up by saying how sore your neck is, and how you wish you could have a massage, perhaps without your shirt on, and see where that teaser takes you. Dont: Sext other people when youre already going steady with someone.  (Ahem, pathetic relative who Im happy to announce is not related to me by blood). I dont care if you dont plan to ever do anything but sext them. Would you want your partner sexting another person? No! you damn barbarian. Do: Sext if you havent seen your mate in a while. Spice things up a bit by building eagerness for the next time you see each other. If its been some time since youve swapped more than stories, chances are your partner is horny and will take pleasure in your sextuality. Dont: Save pictures of your partner. In the long run, nothing good comes of that. Do: Ensure your partner erases all incriminating images of your own flesh. In the long run, nothing good comes from that either. Dont: Sext while in the same room, you weirdos. Do: Sext so hotly that you cant resist being in different rooms anymore. Dont: Show other people your virtual sexcapades. Its very off-putting. If you think it shows how cool you are, youre horribly mistaken. Remember that (almost) everyone in the world has sex at some point, so if youre doing it, youre about as unique as a Honda Civic. Do: Use something from your sexting conversation to get the ball rolling when youre with your partner again. For example, ask about that time they revealed that thing they wanted to try, and use that as a launching point for some steamy dialogue. If youre in a car, dont be alarmed when you suddenly cant see through the windows. Now before you start getting sextual, feel free to comment with the freakiest sext you ever received. Dont be shy, ya freaks.

Heat of Combustion Chemistry

Heat of Combustion ChemistryHeat of combustion chemistry is a branch of physics dealing with the chemical reactions in an element or the objects or structures created by them. The system works in such a way that reaction produces energy, and this energy is converted into heat. It is responsible for the way the temperature changes during the course of a chemical reaction.In this process, the atoms in the element are moved in to one another so that they can react with each other. When the number of atoms increases, the probability of the result of the reaction increases also. Since the molecules are in motion, the energy of the motion of the atoms is converted into heat of combustion.An example of a reaction is the exchange of oxygen and hydrogen atoms within a molecule. The reaction of this element results in the formation of water, which is why we use it to cool down our water tanks.This process is also used in the production of reactions, which are called chemical reactions. These r eactions are usually separated into various types of chemical reactions like oxidizing and reducing reactions, ionization reactions, molecular dynamics, nitrogen and carbon bonding reactions, etc.The other process used in the production of reaction is dissolving and melting reactions. Here, a substance is added to a solution and then the mixture is melted. The reaction releases the energy that is released by the temperature rise caused by the melting. When this happens, heat of combustion is produced.The other types of chemical reactions are denaturation reactions, singlet and triplet rearrangement reactions, sulphide addition reaction, C3 and N2 reduction reactions, and group exchange reactions. The importance of the above mentioned processes is that these are the ways of reacting atoms with each other to produce chemical reactions.In the process of converting heat of combustion into chemical reactions, the reaction of the atoms of an element is converted into energy that is used t o do the activity. This energy is provided by the source and is what we call as heat of combustion.

Ted Greene died in 2020, at the age of eighty-seven. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, and two daughters, Natalie and Sara. Ted Greene, Chemistry Professor

Ted Greene died in 2020, at the age of eighty-seven. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, and two daughters, Natalie and Sara. Ted Greene, Chemistry ProfessorIn 1956, Ted Greene was invited to join the Department of Chemistry at The University of Virginia. He was there for only six months, however, when his appointment was abruptly revoked and he was left without a job. For the next three years, he worked for the Foundation for American Chemistry Research (FACR) and did most of his research in that organization. While he was on staff with FACR, he did not complete any chemistry experiments himself, as he felt he was not qualified for the position.In 1957, after being laid off from FACR, he took a job with the Coca-Cola Company and in 1958 began his work with Seifert and Briggs, the department that was based in Virginia. During his years with these companies, he continued to grow in his understanding of chemistry, and by 1961, he became a full-fledged member of the school's faculty.In a ddition to his work with the company and the university, Greene had also written articles about chord chemistry for Popular Science Magazine, Time, and others. With his academic reputation established at the University of Virginia, Greene could now use his work for furthering the field of chemistry.In 1962, while working for Seifert and Briggs, Greene published the first edition of his book, The Science of Harmony, which included a book review, a chapter on plants, and a whole section devoted to chord chemistry. This book, as well as other works of Greene, were put together and published by a small publishing company in New York, called Chemical Heritage.While working for Seifert and Briggs, Greene also became an associate editor of Popular Science. In 1966, he joined the editorial staff of Time magazine, where he would later become a contributing editor.Greene, along with the support of Seifert and Briggs, continued to work with business and academic organizations to promote chord chemistry, and he continued to help establish the field of chemistry through scientific journals. For example, he worked with the National Academy of Sciences to publish the International Review of Chemistry.

Claude Monet

Claude Monet Claude Monet, the Outdoors Artist ChaptersThe Early Life of Claude MonetSojourn in Paris, Part IMilitary Service and Paris, Part IIClaude Monet, the Father of ImpressionismLater Works and LegacyMany people tend to confuse this French artist with one who has a very similar name: Edouard Manet.That confusion might deepen once you realise that both men wore beards, loved to paint outdoors and even painted each other! They also each painted a self-portrait; you might refer to them to see how similar they were in appearance.Still, there is a chance that, once you learn Monet’s story â€" of renegade defiance, you will easily be able to tell the two apart!Monet had a rather... convinced attitude about himself and his abilities that nobody, neither his wealthy father nor his military commander could seem to break. Conversely, he had many good friends, Manet included, that stuck with him through thick and thin.Monet was a ground-breaker who engineered one of the art world’s most enduring art movements but, unlike other pa inters of the mid-nineteenth century, he gets little notice these days. Maybe he needs a bit more exposure.Maybe exposing his life and deeds will help shed light on just how important he was in the evolution of painted works and how he influenced some of the most famous painters of his time.Superprof is happy to take on that role!

Both of his parents were Parisians; so it came to be that his first five years were spent in the City of Light. They then relocated to Normandy, where his father took over the family business.His mother was a cheerful woman, one for whom gaiety was a natural state of being. She had been a singer in Paris so, when her son declared that he wanted to be an artist, he had his mother’s unwavering support.His father was a different story. Dad had envisioned his son taking over the business someday and was sorely disappointed that young Claude wanted to execute brushstrokes for a living. Their differences would become a matter of contention in later years, even putting Monet Jr’s life at risk.Claude Monet chafed at being indoors. He would rather pass his time outside, in nature, sketching everything he saw. He earned a bit o f money by drawing caricatures of his fellow students while enrolled at the School of the Arts at Le Havre.With his extra money, he sought out lessons with local art teacher Jacques-Francois Ochard. The lessons were very traditional for that time; they consisted of drawing the human form from a plaster cast, not a model.Claude’s mother died when he was only 16 years old. Grief-stricken, he moved in with his aunt who was also an artist.Discover the amazing story behind Leonardo da Vinci’s famous work, the Last Supper...Sojourn in Paris, Part IMost likely at the insistence of his aunt, Claude, now a young man, set off for Paris to haunt the Louvre and take in the most famous works of art.While there, he noticed many apprentice artists with their sketchbooks, copying the most famous paintings: works by Botticelli, Michelangelo, da Vinci and Gauguin. Undaunted, Monet took out his sketch pad and started drawing the scene.At the time, it was quite conventional to paint only indoors. L andscape painting was generally done from memory; seldom did anyone haul their easel and paints out of doors. Monet tried his best to adhere to that principle but he simply couldn’t abide by it.While still in Normandy, he had learned from his friend Eugene Boudin to paint out of doors. That suited his temperament very well; he hated being confined â€" by walls or by convention.Sitting by the windows in the world’s most famous museum of art helped him satisfy that craving for being in nature. It also compelled many of the artists vying for the best light to wonder why he was blocking what light there was to be had.He came to know and eventually become friends with several of those budding artists, Manet among them.  But first, he had a higher calling to fulfil. Monet's themes tended toward the pastoral Image by David Mark from Pixabayfrustration with his art classes.He soon broke his promise to his aunt. He dropped out of formal art lessons to pursue tutelage under Charles Gleyre, a Swiss artist who had taught a number of painters. He happily opened his doors to Monet, introducing him to other painters-in-training, Pierre-Auguste Renoir among them.On breaks between sessions and outside of class, these fervent young painters would discuss works by famous artists and what they would do differently in reproducing those amazing works of art.How well do you know art history? Discover the most famous artists and the world’s most expensive paintings...Claude Monet, the Father of ImpressionismFed up with the criticism, rejection and narrow selection criteria for having one’s work shown at the official Paris showcase of up-and-coming artistic talent â€" the Salon, Monet, along with his comrades-in-brushes founded their own art appreciation socie ty.The Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors and Engravers came into existence in 1873, intending to thumb their nose at art snobbery by putting on their own members’ work on display; often they were artists rejected by the officially sanctioned Salon.Besides Monet, artists included were:Auguste RenoirEugene BoudinCamille PissarroEdgar DegasJames WhistlerPaul CezanneLater artists included Paul Gauguin, Cals, Lepine and Rouart but, no matter who showed their work or how long the show lasted the press and public were less than kind. Undaunted, these mavericks of the canvas continued to expound on new ideas for producing avant-garde works.Wouldn’t it seem like Vincent van Gogh would fit into their group?Among the ideas bandied about was painting outside. After all, it was a bit difficult to produce landscape art without actually being outside to witness it. Besides, the light was better outside...Claude Monet, having always preferred the great outdoors, spearheaded that movement by showing an oil on canvas painting titled Impression, Sunrise. It was universally panned.In fact, the journalist who wrote it up coined the phrase ‘impressionist’, meaning it as a term of derision for those who would embrace that art movement.  The impressionists embraced the term, calling themselves ‘French Impressionist’ as a badge of honour.Henri Matisse, a later-generation French painter, disdained the impressionist label... Monet's gardens were lush, offering much to fuel his depictions of nature Image by Juliane Lutz from PixabayLater Works and LegacyHaving declared himself an impressionist painter â€" one who worked outdoors, no less, Monet set about substantiating his claim that natural light is ever-changing and essential to creating works of art.He finished a painting reproduction of his friend Manet’s work titled Le Dejeuner sur L’Herbe, albeit on a larger scale and with different people.He travelled around quite a bit at this time to avoid the ravages of war. He sojourned in London for a time and then headed to the Netherlands, where he was thought to be a revolutionary spy. Only after the war ended did he return to France. It was during that time, from late 1871 to 1878 that he was the most productive.While Monet is best known for painting impressionistic nature scenes, he was also known to work in a studio, painting models.One such woman, Camille, became his wife in June of 1870. By that ti me, they had already had a child together and experienced abject poverty, getting thrown out of lodgings in the city and country alike.Monet often painted his wife and sometimes his child but no tableau is more poignant than his beloved after death. There is some dispute over her cause of death but none over Monet being rent with grief. For a time after her passing, his paintings took on a sombre hue.Later in life, Monet found both love and success as an artist, so much so that he was able to buy a property and have the gardens landscaped to his exact specifications. It was there that he painted his famous Lilies.Monet had gotten into the habit of painting the same scene several times to illustrate the difference that light makes. To that end, he painted a series titled Water Lilies which, along with van Gogh’s Starry Night, are the most renown among impressionist paintings.Perhaps the worst condition to plague an artist would be the loss of vision; that is exactly what befell Mon et. He developed cataracts, which caused the works he painted during that time to have a reddish hue â€" he was able to see that colour better than any other.After a successful operation to remove them, he continued painting until his death in 1926. His lovely home with the lush gardens and lily pond were donated by his son to the French Academy of Fine Arts.  It is a huge attraction for art lovers from all over the world.Now learn how Spanish painter Pablo Picasso went from being a post-impressionist to Cubism, ultimately leading the modern art movement.
