On November 24 we celebrated the holiday, and I took some photos of the food. Its a meal most Americans take seriously I started preparing the turkey at about 11 pm the night before Thanksgiving by covering it in a mix of salt and herbs known as a brine.I probably spent another 5 hours on Thanksgiving day preparing the turkey and the other dishes that go with the meal, including mashed potatoes, stuffing, pumpkin pie (Teauna actually made that) and gravy. We didnt do cranberry sauce, which is usually almost required, but we had enough food as it was.Preparing the turkey with herbs, spices and dried wild mushrooms.Thanksgiving turkey, after many hours of preparation and cooking.The Thanksgiving dinner, with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy and some broccoli.

Simple but Powerful Test Taking Strategies Part 1

Simple but Powerful Test Taking Strategies Part 1 ACT SAT Prep and College Admissions Blog Strategy is an intrinsic part of preparing for standardized tests. Without the proper strategies even the most advanced students find themselves performing below their full potential. Here are a few proven test taking strategies that will take you a long way in your quest for a high score, regardless of the test you’re taking. Focus on official test prep materials. Purchase a guide written by the very people who administer the exam you are preparing for; this is “the official guide,” IE: The Real ACT Prep Guide, The Official SAT Study Guide, The Official Guide to the Revised GRE, The Official Guide to the GMAT, etc. This will familiarize you with the material and format of the test and which strategies to employ to be successful. Though there is a variance in the material covered across the various graduate and professional school entrance exams, their structures remain similar. Regardless of which exam you take, it will include a Math multiple choice section, Reading multiple choice section and a writing section. That said, there are some test prep providers that offer free or low cost, yet high quality self-paced instruction that we've found can complemenat official test prep materials very well. Kahn Academy (free) or Magoosh (low cost) are two such options. Pay close attention to the question. Read the question first. A hurdle of Reading Comprehension is filtering through the passage to find the information pertinent to answering the questions. Passages can be lengthy, making it difficult to pinpoint the material needed to answer the questions. Sometimes, test writers make it plain and direct you to specific lines of the passage. When this isn’t the case, reading the questions first can serve you well. This is called guided reading. Once you are acquainted with the questions, as you read the passage you can more easily identify the information needed to answer the questions. In essence, the questions can guide you through the reading to the most relevant parts. Beyond reading the questions, pause to recognize what the question is asking you. On timed tests we are inclined to work swiftly, moving too quickly can produce errors not only in our answers, but in our ability to comprehend the questions, which is necessary to answering them correctly. We have all come across questions which are straightforward besides the addition of a word like, EXCEPT. Most certainly, the answer choices contain the answer we would pick had we not seen this caveat. This is the type of careless mistake you cannot afford to make. These questions are designed to see how well you perform under pressure. Are you able to work quickly while simultaneously paying close attention to details, helping you to ultimately arrive at the right answer? These skills are invaluable and necessary to succeeding as a graduate or professional school student. Pay close attention tothe answer options. Read all answer choices before selecting your answer. Just as it's imperative you read and comprehend the question, you must do the same with the answers. The first answer-choice might seem correct, but if you keep reading you may recognize another may be right. This is why it is so important that you assume nothing! With reading comprehension in particular, it’s easy to fall into the trap of making an assumption based on the information you are given and undoubtedly, there will be an answer that “could” work based on your assumption. In a Math section such an example might be: assuming a triangle is a right triangle based on its visual appearance when in fact, there is no angle marked 90 degrees. If you work the problem based on your assumption you could be lead to the wrong answer. Usespecific strategues for honing in on the correct answer. Another tool by which to narrow down your answer choices is, using the process of elimination. Using a “guess and check” method can be faster than traditionally working the problem; by plugging answers into an equation you can quickly determine which answer choices simple will not work. You can also use the strategy of affirming the consequent, (ex: If P, then Q, or, when P is true, Q is true). When using this line of reasoning don’t get trapped in an answer-choice affirming the opposite. Just because you know Q is true, this does not necessarily mean that P is true. Make abstractions concrete by assigning values to the abstract components of a question so you are working with tangible things. This comes in most handy on Math word problems which ask you; What is “twice Mary’s age” five years ago? If you decide to say that Mary is 20 today, she was 15 five years ago and twice that is 30.

How to Get Through a Long Workday

How to Get Through a Long Workday Image via Isorepublic.com Stay hydrated and well-fed throughout the day One of the best ways to keep your energy level up during a long day is to stay well fed and hydrated. When you are hydrated and well-fed, your mind will be sharp, ready to take on the day’s tasks, and your body will be ready to keep up with you. If you have a long day at work ahead of you, you should start off with a good breakfast, which includes protein. It would also be a good idea to drink more water and less coffee, since you need to stay hydrated. In the middle of the day, eat a substantial lunch to keep your energy up. You can even pack a snack or two as well. By eating and staying hydrated, you can make it through a long workday. Listen to music Music is a fun way to lift your spirits. If you are bored at work, try listening to fun music. Music will make the time go by faster, even if you listen to only a couple of songs. You will feel more refreshed and motivated to take on the day’s work when you listen to your favorite songs. In other words, listening to your favorite music will help you get through a long workday. Give yourself something to look forward to after work Another way to get through a long workday is to give yourself something to look forward to once the day is over. You will be more motivated to get through the day when you remember there is something fun waiting for you on the other side. For example, you can plan to visit your friend after your shift. These plans will give you the push you need to finish the long day, because you know that you get to see your friend as soon as you finish. When you have something to look forward to at the end of the day, your workday goes by faster. Keep yourself busy and organized Time goes by faster when you are busy. If you have a long day at work, try to keep yourself busy during that day. If you do that, the day will be over before you know it. I would recommend keeping a “to do” list to keep track of all the tasks you need to complete during your long day since it will help you stay on track and you won’t waste time wondering what to do next. Keeping yourself busy will make a long day at work go by quickly. Take a break to stretch your legs Sitting still at a desk for a long period of time can make you antsy and feel like the day is going by slowly. However, taking a short break every once in a while to walk around and stretch your legs will make the day go by faster. Taking short breaks is a good idea not only because it will give you a chance to stretch your legs, but also because it will allow your brain to rest for a little bit and return to your work with a refreshed mind. Taking a quick break is a great way to get through a long workday. Complete the biggest task first When you complete the biggest task first, you will have a sense of relief and accomplishment, knowing that you have already made a big dent in your “to do” list. Plus, since it is a long workday, you will have plenty of time to finish this big project. It’s the perfect day to work on such a hefty project. Then, work on a project you enjoy If you have time left after you have completed the biggest task, you can work on a project you enjoy. Thinking about a project you enjoy will help you get through the workday. You can spend the rest of the day working on a project you like. When you’re working on something you like, the day will definitely go by faster. It will also help you get through the last part of the long workday. Get to know your co-workers Sometimes, the best part of the job is the people you work with. Having a good relationship with your co-workers can definitely make the long workdays easier to get through. Make the effort to get to know co-workers! Working long days can be tiring, but it’s not all bad! If you follow these tips, you will successfully be able to handle a long workday.

The end of Philosophy - and it`s all for profit - Tutor Hunt Blog

The end of Philosophy - and it`s all for profit The end of Philosophy - and it`s all for profit The end of Philosophy - and it`s all for profitSecondary SchoolsIt was with great dismay that I heard about the possible closure of the philosophy department at the university of Hull, the establishment I attended the back in the 1970`s. Though I didn`t study philosophy, I was aware that the university had offered the subject since it opened in 1928, and the course it offered was prestigious, attracting students throughout the UK and abroad. Philosophy has never been as popular in this country as on the continent, where many schools have mandatory lessons covering the subject. I`m not even sure if there is a GCSE philosophy course available in the UK, and I`ve heard that few schools offer the subject at A-level. The sad truth is that many people seem to consider the subject, from a scholastic point of view, to be a waste of time. I recall how we used to joke amongst friends at university, facetiously asking them `what kind of job do you expect to get with that degree, are you really going to be a professional philosopher?` Juvenile humour perhaps, but many would agree that the subject has few practical applications in the workplace. Humanities courses are generally cheaper to teach - no expensive science labs or state of the art IT systems are needed, with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher being all that is required to teach the subject. The emeritus professor of philosophy Kathleen Lennon has said that `Philosophy at Hull is financially viable - providing a healthy return for the university.` What can be the reason for the university no longer accepting any joint honours students, and the fact that they have said, concerning philosophy, they `will not be recruiting new students` in 2019? The university`s registrar Jeanette Strachan gave, to my mind, a clear answer to this. In a statement to a local newspaper she said that the university aims to provide students with `a high-quality academic experience and ensure that their qualification holds value over time`. Back when university fees didn`t exist people could afford to be more libertine with their educational choices. Nowadays of course things are rather different - with university education costing around 9000 per year perhaps students are being more discriminating in their selections, being careful to choose degrees that are likely to secure them a well paying job. I can completely understand how, if you are going to be spending nearly thirty thousand pounds for a degree, you want to be careful to select one that will be remunerative, one that is most likely to lead you into a well paying job. I can`t help feeling a sense of sadness though - whatever happened to the pursuit of knowledge, learning for learning`s sake? Is the whole purpose of education to train individuals, making them into square pegs that will fit into the appropriate receptacles in the job market? Many people would say yes, that`s exactly what schools and universities are for - we need to form a competent and dedicated workforce, now more than ever, what with brexit on the horizon, and our somewhat tenuous place on the global stage. If universities start dropping philosophy from their listings of which subjects will be next? Will other subjects in the humanities vanish from sight? English literature, history and the arts - will they be next to go? I can`t help feeling that this is the first step towards a dilution of cultural appreciation, and we should be very careful which subjects we allow to be removed. The British Philosophical Association wrote an open letter to Hull university, lamenting the possible removal of the subject from its curriculum, along with explicating the benefits the degree confers: `Philosophy degrees equip students with a wide range of highly valued and sought-after skills, and there is compelling evidence that graduate employers have a high regard for philosophy degree-holders`. I have been part of many interview panels in different industries, and I can attest that my colleges and I always valued the inclusion of a humanities subject on a candidate`s CV. To us it often suggested a broader minded, more interesting individual, compared to someone who had just studied more `academic` subjects. Philosophy itself comes from the Greek term - which has travelled down the millennia to us via the Latin word philosophia, literally meaning `love of wisdom.` How terrible it would be, if we turned away from this nobel pursuit - if we put profit before wisdom. Should we do so I wonder what the next treacherous step might be: profit before truth perhaps? Perish the thought 14 months ago0Add a Comment
