Chemistry - N For Nitrogen

Chemistry - N For NitrogenIn chemistry, N stands for nitrogen. The meaning of N stands for nitrogen, and you might have heard about it, but you probably aren't familiar with how it's derived or its role in nature.Nitrogen is a very important element because of its role in the metabolism of everything. It is the element that allows bacteria to grow. It is the element that allows plants to grow.In the case of man, this nitrogen is used for creating nitrous oxide, which is a gas that is a byproduct of combustion that helps increase the burning of natural gas. The byproduct of natural gas is carbon dioxide.In order to make nitrous oxide, there needs to be a source of methane in order to form the perfect mixture. Methane is a gas that is odorless, colorless, and relatively cheap to produce. It has a nitrogen that is made even more helpful in the process.The chemical reaction that takes place is quite simple. Carbon dioxide comes into contact with a molecule of nitrogen. The carbon dioxide reacts with the nitrogen to form carbon monoxide, or simply CO.When a reaction like this takes place, you can imagine that carbon dioxide is expelled from the body, which is nitrogen. That is why a person who consumes large amounts of carbon dioxide, such as a smoker, can develop breathing problems.While the popularity of having a very high level of CO being created in the body has been a concern, many new studies are showing that the effects of it in terms of cancer can actually be decreased by increasing the levels of this nitrogen that is taken in by the body. This is still not accepted by the medical community, but studies are showing that a low level of this nitrogen could also decrease the risk of certain forms of cancer. It is still up in the air when it comes to whether or not this nitrogen will ever be used as a medicine.

How to Sequence Restorative Yoga

How to Sequence Restorative Yoga Is Sequencing Necessary in Restorative Yoga? ChaptersWhat is Restorative Yoga?Why Take Restorative Yoga Classes?What Does a Restorative Yoga Session Entail?Restorative Yoga LessonsToday, as demonstrated by the number of people heading to the yoga studio for hot yoga and Pilates classes, the trend in yoga is ‘gym yoga’ or ‘fitness yoga’.Fitness yoga strange name; isn’t one of the greatest benefits of yoga fitness?Nevertheless, how yoga is ‘packaged’ is half of the draw for those newly-curious about yoga; a brightly-lit gym, lots of smiling participants and bright colours help to sell the idea that yoga is a vibrant practice that everyone should engage in.Even online yoga classes tend to show those practicing yoga in a brightly-lit yoga studio, on a colourful mat, wearing wildly colourful yoga clothing…Is yoga even supposed to be that bright?Some yoga devotees would argue not but the truth is, it really doesn’t matter what colour your yoga mat is or how intensely the lights burn.What does matter is that the fund amental yoga philosophy  is at the root of everything that happens in class.Many popular styles of yoga â€" Iyengar yoga, Vinyasa yoga and others reflect that tenet through many poses, breathwork and meditation.All of this is great information but, so far, we’ve not said anything about yoga’s restorative powers.Let’s say you have already embraced the lifestyle of a yogi; you may even be a yoga teacher (or want to become one).But then, something terrible happens: you sustain an injury. You are devastated that it will take you months to recuperate, let alone get back to the vigorous yoga classes you used to lead.Or maybe one of your loved ones has sustained an injury; maybe due to repetitive motion, as is so common these days. As a yoga instructor, what would you recommend?Naturally, restorative yoga comes to mind but you wonder: which asanas would be most beneficial? How many asanas should be considered for an hour’s session?Should restorative yoga sessions be conducted one o n one or can it be done in a group?Superprof now takes a closer look at restorative yoga to answer those questions and more.restorative yoga class. Other reasons have nothing to do with the physical state.You may feel completely stressed out at work, burnt out from your gym routine or your power yoga sessions, undone by family affairs or a love affair that ended badly.Many believe that one must push through tough situations and that everything will be better on the other side. The other side of what, one might wonder?Such advice, often sincerely given, seems to imply that we are lone voyagers on a path beset by obstacles on every side, with the possibility of never overcoming them â€" in other words, of failing.  And, in today’s narrative, failure is never acceptable.What if we stop seeing these very common human experiences as adversarial situations to confront and triumph over and, instead, perceive them as an opportunity to deepen our mind-body connection?In these situations an d more, restorative yoga could be the answer you are looking for. You will not meet any warrior poses or downward facing dogs in a restorative yoga class Image by jesslef from PixabayWhy Take Restorative Yoga Classes?You might argue that, if one is fed up with their workout, they could just change it up.Likewise, if repetitive motion, say carpal tunnel syndrome is what plagues them, they could visit a chiropractor and even have an operation, if their doctor recommends it.All of that is true but those solutions leave the person in question with the same kettle of fish.The point of restorative yoga is to restore oneself, not to alleviate a symptom of a much greater condition demanding your attention.Our bodies have an amazing way of communicating with us and, all too often, we simply don’t know what they’re saying.It would be nice if a text bubble would manifest itself over whichever part of our anatomy that needs relief that said: “I’m under a lot of stress here, could you maybe unplug for a bit so I can get back to normal?”Restorative yog a is not beneficial only to physical stress; it does wonders for the psyche â€" as does Hatha yoga, flow yoga and many other types of yoga.What if you suffer from depression and/or anxiety? Restorative yoga can help with those conditions, too.Studies show that restorative yoga has proven benefits for people battling cancer. It helps them combat depression and anxiety while helping them manage their pain and the toxic effects of the chemical cocktails they must ingest to beat their disease.If restorative yoga works for cancer survivors, it stands to reason that it would benefit people who are not in a fight for their lives, doesn’t it?Other conditions alleviated with restorative yoga include:hypertension and heart diseasediabetesinsomniaheadaches and migrainesjoint pain including carpal tunnelsciaticawomen’s issues â€" bloating, cramps and moodinesscold and flu symptomsAnother amazing benefit of restorative yoga is weight loss.Our bodies produce cortisol as a matter of normal fun ction but, when we are under stress, cortisol production increases, meaning the amount of sugar in your blood also increases. If/when that excess sugar is not worked off, it converts into fat.Ergo, by reducing cortisol production, you are also reducing the fat in your body.Now that you are completely sold on the idea of restorative yoga, let’s peek in on a class. Restorative yoga postures are usually done in a softly-lit studio Image by suzanne leitner-wise from PixabayWhat Does a Restorative Yoga Session Entail?Like yin yoga, restorative yoga makes ample use of bolsters, blocks and blankets, and every asana is done at floor level.However, unlike yin yoga and virtually every other type of yoga, a restorative yoga session employs only a handful of asanas that are held for an extended period; up to 20 minutes.When you enter the yoga studio, don’t be surprised to find dim lighting and soft music playing. You may also find many props set up by each yoga mat. If you bring your own mat, your yoga teacher may place several blocks, pillows and blankets near you.Your yoga instructor may also help you get into position. For example, for the Reclined Goddess pose, your instructor might help place the block under your back or help you recline.The studio environment is so relaxing and the postures are held for so long that many people actually doze off. Nobody will disparage you for it; if you feel yourself nodding off, go for it! Surely, when your instructor calls out the next asana, you’ll wake back up.Don’t let the tranquillity of these sessions fool you; your muscles and joints will still get a workout.For instance, the Supported Bridge pose that is often used in restorative yoga will work your abs, hamstring muscles, quads and hip flexors.Have you got your blankets, pillows, bolsters and blocks ready? Let us now go through restorative yoga poses together.Restorative Yoga LessonsYou are now in a softly lit yoga studio. Your mat is surrounded with blankets, pillows and props. Sliding into the stress of the Holiday Season, you are so ready for this yoga practice!At the urging of the yoga instructors, you seat yourself on your mat, ready for the first posture. In itself, the Child's Pose fosters deep relaxation but, when modified for restoration yoga, it is even more comfortable Image by AndiP from PixabayModified Child’s PoseSitting on your ankles with your knees apart, place your pillows or folded blankets in front of you. Lean forward at the hips, resting your head and torso on the pillows.Make sure that your entire torso is supported as well as your head. You do not want your head dangling down off the edge of the blanket. If needed, arrange your yoga blocks in front of your blankets so that your head can rest on them.Your arms should drape down on either side of your torso support. Hold the pose for 10-20 minutes.If you feel any discomfort â€" in your knees, shoulders or ankles, ease out of the position.Supported Bridge PoseLying on your back with your knees raised, place your feet shoulder-width apart. Place a yoga block under your sacrum so that your hips are elevated.You may lace your hands over your stomach or lay them out at 45 degrees from your body, what is called ‘cactusing’. If you cactus your arms, make sure your palms are face-up.For an extra challenge, you may position the block under your sacrum on its narrow side to raise your hips higher. You might also place your feet at the edges of your mat and bring your knees together so that you don’t strain to hold your legs in position.Hold the pose for 10-20 minutes.Reclining Bound Angle PoseLying supine on your mat, pull your feet toward your pelvis. With the soles of your feet together, place blocks under each knee so that the stretch to your inner thigh muscles won’t be so great.Cactus your arms or place your fingers on your abdomen. Hold the pose for between 10 and 20 minutes.Supported Forward Fold PoseSeated on your mat with your legs straight out in front of you, place a bolster under your thighs, close to your knees. On your legs, stack your pillows or blanket.Bend forward at the waist until your torso and head are resting on the pillows. Your arms hang along the pillows; your palms should face upward.Hold for 10-20 minutes.Legs Up The Wall PoseFor this pose, you will obviously need a wall; your mat should be perpendicular to it.Sitting with the wall on your left side, ease sideways until you are laying on your mat. Bring your legs up until you are lying on your back; your body should mould to the angle formed by the floor and the wall.Hold the pose for 10-20 minutes and then flow into savasana, or Corpse pose.If you are familiar with yoga breathing techniques, these asanas are a prime opportunity to focus on breathing but if not, no worries; you will find yourself deep-breathing as your body relaxes.If you are currently in yoga teacher training, learning how to sequence a restorative yoga class is particularly valuable because you can gain experience teaching by helping out in other classes.And, if you are experienced in many different yoga styles, it might not hurt for you to take a restorative yoga class every on ce in a while, to take a break from the more advanced yoga that you might normally practise.This gentle yoga has something for everyone but are there guidelines for sequencing any yoga class?

Vertical Angles in Real Life Tutors

Vertical Angles in Real Life Tutors Vertical angles are the angles which are situated opposite to each other whenever there is an intersection of two straight lines. The most important property of vertical angles is that they are equal to each other. There are many instances in our daily life when we can find vertical angles being formed. For an example, the blades of a scissor when opened cross each other and we can observe the vertical angles being formed. Similarly another real life example would be when two rail tracks cross each other and they form vertical angles. Example 1: Given below is the diagram of the intersection of two straight lines. If the value of x = 79, then find the value of y from the diagram shown below. Given, x = 79 From the diagram we can observe that, x and y are opposite to each other and hence they are vertical angles! Hence their value should be equal to each other. This gives, value of y = value of x = 79. Example 2: Given below is the diagram of the intersection of two straight lines. If the value of a = 105, then find the value of b from the diagram shown below. Given, a = 85 From the diagram we can observe that, a and b are opposite to each other and hence they are vertical angles! Hence their value should be equal to each other. This gives, value of b = value of a = 105.

For Beginning Guitarists Right and Left Hand Basics

For Beginning Guitarists Right and Left Hand Basics Suzy S. Want to improve your coordination and guitar technique? Here, Goodyear, AZ guitar teacher  David A.  shares two simple guitar exercises to try out   Do you love listening to guitar music and do you want to learn how to play? Well, in addition to having a passion for guitar, it is important for you as the aspiring guitarist to maintain a consistent practice routine that incorporates guitar exercises to improve your right and left hand coordination and timing, which will, in turn, boost your overall musicianship and enjoyment of the instrument! The Mechanics of Playing the Guitar Guitar exercises involve the right and left hands doing two separate things at the same time. The challenge can be just that: get the right and left hands to do those two things at the same time! The right hand, hovering over the body of the guitar and using a guitar pick or just the fingers, strums, plucks, or picks one or more strings, while the fingers of the left hand press down on the appropriate strings at the other end of the guitar on the neck fretboard. (Note: I am describing hand movements from the point of view of a right-handed guitarist, so if you are playing a left-handed guitar, the actions of the hands are reversed.) Exercises to Strengthen the Hands Improve Coordination Although it is not possible to cover all of the many guitar exercises or go into specific detail regarding proper technique within the scope of this article, I will describe a couple of drills that would certainly be a great start for the beginner. For the following examples, let’s assume that you will be using a guitar pick. You hold the pick between your thumb and index finger, with the pointed end of your pick striking the strings. There are three basic picking patterns to strike the strings: downstroke (toward the ground), upstroke (toward the sky), and alternate (down, then up). To fret with the left hand, make a loose fist with the knuckles bent. Place your thumb along the back of the guitar neck. Place the other 4 fingers on the front of the neck. The finger assignments for the left hand are as follows: index is 1, middle is 2, ring is 3, and pinky is 4. If possible, use a metronome to help keep time. A good starting metronome speed is at or around 60 beats per minute (BPM). Allow at least 5 to 10 minutes to complete each exercise and practice them daily! Exercise 1: This is a simple drill on the high E string. Fret this string on the first fret with finger 1 of the left hand. Try to use the tip of your finger to fret the note. (You will build up calluses on the tips of your fingers.) With the right hand, play downstrokes with the pick with each click or beep of your metronome. Repeat this exercise by playing upstrokes, again hitting the string on each metronome beat. Finally, play a repeating alternate picking pattern. You can gradually increase your metronome speed as you feel more comfortable. Since this exercise does not involve moving the left hand to fret different notes, try experimenting by using a different finger on a different fret to fret the E string, while you play the downstroke, upstroke, and alternate picking patterns with your right hand. Exercise 2: This time, you will play the 3 right-hand picking patterns, but we will add left-hand finger movement. Start with finger 1 on first fret, and with each consecutive click of the metronome, place finger 2 on the second fret, then finger 3 on the third, then finger 4 on the fourth. Increase your metronome speed as you feel more comfortable. The goal is to coordinate the timing of the picking of the right hand with the fretting by the different fingers of the left hand. Repetition is the Key Practicing the guitar resembles, in some ways, practicing a sport. Just as baseball players have to develop the mechanical ability to throw and catch a ball through repeated drills, guitarists have to acquire the ability to sound the correct notes on their guitars through continual practicing. The trick is to develop technique through the repeated execution of guitar exercises that promote hand coordination and timing. While there are many exercises that you can practice, it is important that you play them slowly and evenly at first, and then gradually build up speed. With regular and consistent practice, you will notice that as you gain greater control over your right and left hand picking and fretting technique, your speed of execution will increase. As your guitar technique improves, you will start being able to learn how to play the music that YOU enjoy and ultimately, achieve your guitar lesson goals and beyond!

A private tutor sat in their student's home across the desk from those being tutored.Let's get to the bottom of the different types of tutoring available. (Source: StockSnap)This is the traditional idea we have of the discipline.But what exactly is the definition of academic support?Edglossary gives the following definition:“The term academic support may refer to a wide variety of instructional methods, educational services, or school resources provided to students in the effort to help them accelerate their learning progress, catch up with their peers, meet learning standards, or generally succeed in school.”There are two important factors that we believe also defines academic support:The duration: Academic support can occur at regular intervals. From a few lessons over several weeks to a much longer time. The tutor could help their student over the course of several months to an entire school year.Complementing schooling: A lot of academic support services are designed to help students who are struggling or falling behind.This doesn't mean that it needs to take place during the semester, you can get academic support during the school holidays. There's nothing wrong with a bit of extra preparation.Discover the benefits of academic support!The Origins of Academic SupportIt’s difficult to talk exactly about where exactly academic support came from. For those not familiar with private academic support, you probably remember all the hours you spent studying in primary school, secondary school, college, and sixth form. Many hours of your schedule were spent dedicated to studying, revising, or doing your homework or coursework.When a student's struggling, there's nothing wrong with enlisting the help of a professional tutor. (Source: kaboompics)These hours were recommended by teachers who would (if they could) help studen ts who were struggling. While we’re talking about the past, the same is true today.Barring a few charities and free tutoring services at schools and universities, academic support is entirely private. That said, more and more parents are getting in touch with academic support tutors to help out. This is due to a few societal changes:Mothers, unlike previous generations, are more likely to be working.Parents are getting home from work later and later, which leaves very little time for them to help their children with their studies.Private Education for State School StudentsThe success of academic support is not just down to how effective it is but also due to increasingly worried parents. With mathematics, foreign languages (French, Spanish, German, Italian, etc.), history, geography, physics, chemistry, economics, and English, there are so many subjects for parents to be worried about.Some parents believe that there are too many subjects and children are struggling to keep up with all of them.This means more and more parents are enlisting the help of academic support tutors to help their children keep up by providing supplemental instruction. This is why we say that academic support is private education for children at state schools.Find out how parents, tutors and students all work together to achieve academic success...Even if you’re hesitant, there are plenty of students who’ve benefitted from academic support. It’s helped many students to catch up with their studies. This has helped then avoid failing exams and having to resist them.There are academic support classes for those in primary school, secondary school, sixth form, and college. They complement a child’s regular schooling. For example, a private tutor can move away from the traditional teaching a child gets in school and help them see schooling differently.They can use different resources and tools. This freedom allows them to draw on different school subjects to help the child understan d better, too.Finally, the biggest benefit of academic support tutorials is the fact that they’re tailored to the student. In a maths class at school, the teacher has to deliver a standardised lesson for all the students. This means the class is designed for twenty-odd students.With academic support, the private tutor plans their lesson around the person in front of them.What is the student’s level?How much do they understand?What kind of personality do they have?Do they respect authority?Are they keen learners?Are there certain things they struggle with?Academic support is there to fill in the gaps.If calculus, algebra, geometry, or trigonometry is giving you a headache, you just have to look for maths tutoring.Find out how you can get customised tutoring for your academic needs!

(Source: StartupStockPhotos)It could start out with some homework help. In primary school, secondary school, sixth form, and college, a lot of students seem to be drowning work. As we said earlier, a lot of parents just don’t have the time to help their children as much as they'd like.So why not employ a private tutor to help your child?Homework is a big and important part of the learning process. It can help them reinforce w hat they’ve learnt in class. A professional tutor can help them in a number of subjects throughout the year. This can help them to avoid failing exams, improving their performance, and getting good results.Academic support is useful for helping students catch up. This is one of the most common reasons for getting academic support. When a child is falling behind at school, there are some important decisions to be made in order to stop them failing their exams and having to resit. Of course, you often have to pay for academic support. It’s unlikely that the teachers at their school will have the time to provide this level of support.Join the discussion: can academic support supplant traditional education models?A private tutor can dedicate all their time to them. Thanks to teaching methods that are tailored to the student, the teacher can quickly help them catch up.  That’s the main goal of academic support, after all.Catching up can take place in the medium term and the long te rm. It can take some time and new teaching methodologies for a student to start understanding their courses. Once a learner has the necessary study skills, you'll start seeing their performance improve in both the classroom and in their academic support tutorials.If you or your child struggle with writing essays, you could work with an English tutor or look for writing tutors on Superprof.Discover the wide range of subjects you can find tutoring for...Educational AccompanimentWe’ve already seen what academic support is and what services it includes.  There’s also educational accompaniment which is often thought of as academic tutoring.How is different to academic support?Educational accompaniment is more so for students aiming to get into top universities. This can take place over a long time. It can take a student through their undergraduate or postgraduate degree.There are private tutors offering educational accompaniment. We’re talking about support for students who aren’ t struggling. Those with acceptable or good grades. The goals are simple:Improve their gradesGetting them ready for top universitiesStudying for important examsGetting them onto courses at said universitiesEducational accompaniment, just like academic tutoring and private tutorials, is available in all subjects from the sciences to the humanities.If science isn't your strong point, why not consider getting a physics, biology, or chemistry tutor to help?Private TutorialsIt’s very easy to confuse academic support with private tutorials. They are often quite similar. However, not all tutors can offer both.Think about the kind of private tutorials you need to get for your child. (Source: jstarj)Put simply: academic support (either at home or via online tutoring) involves helping with homework or an assignment, revision, or helping students to catch up with one on one tutoring. It’s usually for students who are struggling in school.Private tutoring is generally more relaxed and is fo r students who just want to learn something. They help the student learn new things and help the student to think of new approaches.Academic support is tailored schooling and there’s also academic coaching.  Of course, most tutors don't expect you to be experts in the differing types of private tuition. When it comes to home tutoring, it's fairly easy to find a tutor who can offer several different types one to one tutoring.When it comes to academic success, there's plenty of reasons why home tutoring is so popular. Whether a student is struggling with a bit exam or test prep, needs help with writing an essay, or wants to apply to a good college or university, tutoring is the way to go.Don't forget that it's also very easy to become a tutor and start getting tutoring jobs.

Physical Wellness An Underappreciated Key to Improving Performance on Tests

Physical Wellness An Underappreciated Key to Improving Performance on Tests Improving Academic Performance No matter how confident you may feel, final exams can still cause a great deal of anxiety. For many students, the pressure builds even if the understanding of the material is thorough. In more extreme cases, you might begin to doubt yourself, lose sleep and fail to remember the information you studied so hard to learn. When it comes to improving your performance on exams, taking care of your overall health can be almost as beneficial as studying. This is because your physical health can have a major impact on your ability to memorize, think and reason. Disregarding your physical health and well-being could result in your brain not functioning at full capacity. Getting plenty of sleep, eating the right foods and drinking enough water all can improve your test-taking abilities and help you to get better grades. An example of this is that many students may not realize that proper hydration is essential in how well they perform on their exams. Dehydration can lead to irritability, fatigue and lethargy â€" which all will prohibit you from doing your best. Research suggests those who drink a bottle of water during their exam perform slightly better than those who don’t. Good nutrition is also a key factor for how well you’ll perform on tests, as the brain uses as much as 20 percent of the energy your body needs daily. Eating nutritional foods can help keep you focused and energetic so you won’t feel fatigued during your midterms or finals. Given how critical your grades can be in order to reach your academic and professional goals, it’s worthwhile to seek any additional advantage you can. It is important to not let bad habits such as overindulging on junk food or poor sleeping habits hurt your chances to do well on exams. The below slideshow has more tips you can use to reduce stress and improve performance on exams: Tips To Improve Performance Around Testing Time from MacCormac College Author Bio Dr. Kenya Grooms is a clinical psychologist and Dean of Student Affairs at MacCormac College, the oldest two-year, private, nonprofit institution in Illinois.
