Organic Chemistry 9th Edition by Tom McMurry - Great Read

Organic Chemistry 9th Edition by Tom McMurry - Great ReadOrganic Chemistry 9th Edition by Tom McMurry is a great book. It has been a great help to me when I'm studying chemical kinetics and my life sciences class. This chemistry text provides new information every day and allows students to build on the basics of chemistry. This chemistry text makes life sciences more fun and interesting.If you like to make your living with chemistry, I strongly recommend this as an optional text. I have had great results with this book.Some people have complained that the text is dry and does not provide enough information for textbook chemistry. That's absolutely true, but the idea of Organic Chemistry 9th Edition is to use the book to study chemistry, not to learn how to get rich by speculating about a book. It's an easy book to read, I love it, and it gives a good starting point for learning chemical kinetics.What a great resource for synthetic biology! The content is so in depth that it really d oes allow for research and experimentation to be done in the lab. It doesn't just provide theories and information, it creates a laboratory environment that will teach students how to do real chemistry in the real world.The book also supports the idea that scientists at all levels need to have this knowledge in their lives. They can read the book and still be experts on their own research, and they can use it for their own projects too.So, yes, I can see why this organic chemistry book is recommended for school science students. This organic chemistry book allows for more than just learning facts about atoms and molecules, it teaches the student how to combine these facts to get a variety of important projects.It really is amazing how one book can contain so much knowledge that might otherwise be left out in the hands of many analytical chemistry students. I highly recommend this organic chemistry book to anyone who is interested in learning more about chemistry.

School of Research Science

School of Research Science School of Research Science SRS is a BSO approved international school that provides a high quality education, meeting the needs of a diverse range of students. We deliver the British National and American Curriculum to an increasing population of 3000 plus students from FS to Year 13, leading to GCSE, IGCSE and AS/A2 qualifications. School of Research Science was founded in 1998 to provide a high quality education to the children of local Emirati families. Since that time, the school has seen a dramatic expansion linked directly to its growth in popularity, also amongst non-Emirati families whose children now comprise approximately one-third of the school’s intake. A powerful vision coupled with strong ambition and clear sense of direction has enabled the school to grow and become a very successful all-through, 3 to 18 school with a student roll of approximately 3,250. Building on this success, the Founder of the school has invested in a new purpose built school in Al-Warqa with state-of-the-art specialist facilities and a twenty-first century learning environment. By employing high quality teachers and school leaders and giving them the tools and opportunities they need to grow professionally, we aspire to provide a World Class standard of education for all our students. The school devotes considerable resources to ensuring a breadth of curriculum experience which is not commonly found in schools offering a non-residential provision. In delivering 30 guided learning hours each week for all students beyond the Foundation Stage the school is able to blend learning in both the Arabic and British traditions in a manner that is purposeful and continuously developing.The curriculum offer is balanced in such a way as to offer exceptional social, moral, spiritual and cultural development to children and young people aged 3 to 18. Additionally, the bilingual character of the school is exploited so as to allow curriculum access to students of varying ethnic origins; reinforcing and deepening learning through an emerging collaboration between teachers drawn from quite diverse backgrounds. At SRS, we believe in the holistic growth of all our students, with each phase of school life organically connected to the next. In practice this means our students develop and grow with us academically, socially, emotionally and morally. Moreover, we believe we have a clear moral obligation to administer a learning environment that encourages such growth and development where the school culture is built upon care, respect, responsibility and honesty.

The ESL Experience Teaching Abroad in Paris, France

The ESL Experience Teaching Abroad in Paris, France Kindergarten teacher Beck, 26, from Australia’s Sunshine Coast, spent a year as an ESL teacher at various schools and language centres across Paris, teaching children as young as 9 months and up to 12 years old. Did teaching in France live up to your expectations? How? In every country that you teach, the children are different and learn differently. In France, it took me a while to figure out what types of activities the children enjoy and what kind of lesson content gets their attention. In this case was competitive games and competitions. Once I’d cracked that part, working with the children was amazing. They really love learning English because they can see its relevance everyday through road signs, transport announcements in English and more. Tell us something you found interesting or surprising about schools in France. The days are long for the children. School starts at 9am and doesn’t finish until 6pm. However, when I was teaching in Paris, all the children had Wednesdays off. How long did it take you to find a position? It took a few months to find a good company in Paris that paid well, according to your experience, and a company that was also supportive. What attracted you to Paris to teach English? I love to travel and wanted to explore more of Europe. The UK and Paris are very much in the center of all that. I knew that it would be easy to get to London for the weekend or to Switzerland for a week away skiing. Paris is a long way from Australia... What was the hardest part of French life to adjust to? The general lifestyle was one of the hardest things to get used to. The working day for anyone in Paris is long and tiring. However, it was usual for us to finish the day off at a cafe, with a glass of wine and a plate of bread and cheese, so I’m not complaining... What kinds of lessons did your students enjoy most? Active lessons - we were always moving, playing games and dancing during the lessons. Because the children are in school for a lot of the time, they really respond well to fun activities that allow them to use all that stored up energy. Tell us more about how you teach babies English. The aim of the class was to getting them used to hearing English being spoken through songs and play, which helps them to understand and pick the language up. Mothers and nannies came with their babies and it was as much about teaching them English too! Having experience in teaching young children at a previous job helped me to get this position, as I didn’t need any special training. What did your students find especially challenging about learning English? Pronunciation. My students found it extremely difficult to pronounce some sounds correctly, such as the letter ‘h’ in 'hello'. But we worked on that and they improved so much during the year. How did you spend your free time in Paris? Travelling and sightseeing. We would go away on weekends to North France, Belgium and London or we would stay home and go have a picnic under the Eiffel Tower with friends. Did you get the opportunity to improve your French skills? Absolutely! Even though I was an English teacher and spoke English most of the day, I still had to communicate with parents in French and also do day-to-day things such as buying food and bus fares in French. What did you learn about yourself from your experience? I learnt that language is not an impossible barrier. It shouldn't stop anyone from travelling somewhere or making new connections and friends. I also learnt to enjoy and make the most of the times that you are not working. If you could give one piece of advice to someone heading off to teach English in France, what would it be? Teaching wise, I would suggest that you learn lots of games and activities to play with younger children that encourage them to speak in English and repeat words. Learn every single nursery rhyme you can and plenty of songs. I also want to say 'learn French,' but you will once you arrive, you won't have a choice! So I think I would say, travel and make the most of living in Europe. Go and see the major sights but also travel to the small towns where no one really goes to because that is where you will see the culture and meet some amazing and helpful people.

But she said No (A closer look at rape and sexual assault on college campuses)

But she said No (A closer look at rape and sexual assault on college campuses) gendercommthebomb.wordpress.com College Rape Statistics Lately campus buzz has been revolving around the topic of rape and sexual assault on college campuses. This is much more common than it appears and occurs in some of the most unpredicted places. Laurie Halse Anderson, award-winning novelist, describes the feeling as “I just want to sleep. A coma would be nice. Or amnesia. Anything, just to get rid of this, these thoughts, whispers in my mind. Did he rape my head, too?” in her novel Speak. This feeling, of being powerless has been felt by far too many individuals around the US and it is important to identify and speak out against actions which have left them this way. The AAUW reported in 2009 that 95% of attacks on college campuses are unreported, making sexual assault the silent epidemic. Because of this, sexual assault remains the most drastically underreported crime. Many times victims do not report their attack because of embarrassment, fear of their attacker or fear that they will not be believed when telling their story. Rape happens to men and women however, 3% of college women nationally have experienced rape or attempted rape during the academic year. The AAUW explains that when applying this statistic, a campus with 6,000 coeds will have an average of one rape per day during the school year. When looking at a school the size of Ohio State with its 55,100 students or University of Florida with 50,700 students, more than 9 rapes/attempted rapes happen per day. However, as noted previously most of these attacks go unreported. It is also important to realize that the statistics above are from 2009, but the numbers have not changed very much. On certain campuses, the number of assaults has dropped dramatically in the past four years; however, the presence of assault on campuses remains a constant threat. Campus Safety Magazine reported that 90% of acquaintance rapes involve alcohol and that 1 in 3 sexual assaults the perpetrator was intoxicated. This is extremely significant when looking at the party scene on your own campus. It is important to stay with friends when drinking and to have methods of reaching friends (cell phone, numbers, addresses, cab money) if something does go wrong. Many victims know their attackers. These types of assaults are known as acquaintance rapes, defined by RAINN as “Acquaintance assault involves coercive sexual activities that occur against a persons will by means of force, violence, duress, or fear of bodily injury. These sexual activities are imposed upon them by someone they know (a friend, date, acquaintance, etc.)”. The AAETS says that three-quarters of all rapes on college campuses are forms of acquaintance rape. Rape is a word which is hesitantly used by victims; however, if you said “no”, fought off your attacker, or felt powerless…it is a form of rape. Until next time, please research some information on the statistics on your campus and find ways to protect you and your friends against this silent but extremely dangerous threat.
