So it can be used as a solution to dissolve away all the molecules from a substance that can cure a disease and that also has a medical importance. It is not as it was perceived as a compound that can be used as a compound to do many things, including curing diseases and healing the body.It is a compound that is not a solution, is capable of combining with and mixing with other compounds and therefore it is very complex life forms that can give birth to all sorts of processes that are affecting our world. It is a wonderful compound which can be considered as a chemical, a compound with the ability to combine with other molecules, the chemical of which has the ability to function as a compound and that can even cause a chemical reaction with other molecules, thus this process called the chemical reaction that is happening now.This substance cannot be defined as just a chemical, but it is a substance that has a structure that can have more than one functional group. It is a natural substance that can be used as a solution to solve or to dissolve any molecule from the substance which is capable of curing a disease and that also has a medical importance. So it is not as it was perceived as a compound that can be used as a compound to do many things, including curing diseases and healing the body.It is a simple compound that is composed of two atoms of carbon and hydrogen atoms and one atom of oxygen. It is a compound that is able to be used as a solution to solve or to dissolve away all the molecules from a substance that can cure a disease and that also has a medical importance.

African Geopolitics

African Geopolitics Understanding Geopolitics in Africa ChaptersGeopolitics in Africa: From Tribalism to Nation StatesResources in Africa that Affect GeopoliticsPolitics and Military in African CountriesLooking at All of the Countries in AfricaWhen one thinks of global powers â€" those movers and shakers that drive global politics, few African nations come to mind.Egypt, certainly; maybe even South Africa, a country that was a founding member of the United Nations and one of the founding members of the African Union.Beyond that, most of the recognition given to African nations is not for remarkable political accomplishments; they are mostly known for ferocious infighting and being abysmally poor.Such an opinion does not do justice to the world’s second largest and second most populated continent (after Asia). With her 54 sovereign states and multiple dependencies, the African continent is much more than tribal clashes, reproductive health concerns and destitution.Today, your Superprof leads the exploration of the so-called Dark Continen t.We’ll examine how this vast region came to be divided up and how the African continent is emerging from traditional tribal rule to take her place on the world stage, one country at a time.New Imperialism, European explorers scrambled to claim overseas territories.Such was the push on the African continent that it has earned an infamous title: the Scramble for Africa.Within just a few years, the entire African continent save for Ethiopia and Liberia was divided between seven western European powers â€" and even those two territories did not remain independent for long.France laid claim to much of northwestern AfricaGermany settled for a few parcels of land scattered across the southern region: Cameroon, Rwanda, Namibia and most of TanzaniaPortugal’s two major plats lay on either side of the peninsula: Angola and MozambiqueSpain reaped comparatively little territory: northern Morocco and Equatorial GuineaBelgium ensconced herself in the middle of the African peninsula, claiming the Congo, a portion of Rwanda and all of BurundiItaly, a relative latecomer to the African pillage, managed to secure Eritrea, Somalia, Libya and EthiopiaThe British Empire secured for herself vast tracts of land in southwestern and northwestern Africa, as well as a few parcels in West Africa abutting French territory.These demarcations are important to Africa’ geopolitics because those colonial borders, drawn by European powers, are for the most part how the borders of today’s African nations are drawn.Besides the goal of laying claim to as much territory as possible, those European powers were interested in the vast plunder of natural resources to be had.Economic and political gains were not the only considerations leading to the colonization of African lands.Religious missionaries, intent on converting the masses, set about educating the native population, steering them away from African languages and installing the various European tongues as official languages.So it came t o be that the languages, cultures and way of life of the African people became subsumed by a barrage of new vernacular, ideas and politics.Naturally, we cannot discuss African history (or world history) without considering the slave trade.For centuries, the people of west Africa had good reason to fear any ship on the horizon; the possibility of being carted away to serve in distant lands was distinct and very real.Later, when Europeans settled in Africa, the African people’s relationship with colonisers was largely predicated on the negative sentiment engendered through those enforced separations.It didn’t help that many colonisers employed slaves on their African plantations.Fortunately, global outcry ended the trading of humans long before the end of the Second World War, when a wave of independence movements fuelled by the African people led to the end of colonialism and the surrender of lands.Discover how European geopolitics impact Africa today...Since then, the countries of Africa have been establishing their own development goals and are finding partnerships in unexpected quarters.Groundwater on the globe's second largest continent is growing ever sparser and more polluted Image by cocoparisienne from PixabayResources in Africa that Affect GeopoliticsAngola, Nigeria, Lybia, Egypt and Algeria are rich in oil. The area formerly known as Katanga, in the Republic of the Congo, is rich in minerals, especially copper.Explore also how rich oil deposits affect Middle East geopolitics...Sierra Leone, Botswana and Angola bring millions of pounds worth of diamonds to the surface every year.Unfortunately, the revenue derived from these mining efforts has caused that area to be known more for its rebel movements than for its wealth; an effect that has so far prevented any African nation from competing in global politics on a large scale.Geopolitics, the study of political relations intrastate and internationally, take into consideration geographical features as well as natural resources of a land; political relations and military power also factor in.We’ll discuss the latter two in a bit; for now, we need to focus on one aspect of African geography that is in crisis: water.We all know that the Saharan desert is a vast field of sand with nary a drop of water on the ground.The Nile, known as the world’s longest river, runs through the eastern part of the Sahara. Other rivers coursing through Africa include the Congo and Zambezi Rivers.Traditionally, the most water-rich areas were located in sub-Saharan Africa: Lake Victoria and Lake Chad. Today, they are both severely depleted due to drought and water diversion.Virtually all fresh water sources on the African continent are in trouble and it is rural Africa that is the most impacted.  Not only is water becoming scarcer but what is available must meet the needs of all African people.To make matters worse, surface water is terribly polluted and there is a severe lack of infrastructure to b ring groundwater to the surface, let alone to make it accessible in sparsely populated, remote areas.The water crisis in Africa is a global concern, leading many foreign governments, such as China, to pour billions of Yuan into such massive engineering projects.Learn all about Asian investment in Africa through our geopolitics in Asia article.The long and the short of the matter is: for all of Africa’s wealth in minerals and other natural resources, she is a parched land slowly dying of thirst.Politics and Military in African CountriesIf we accept a loose definition of ‘military’ as 'a body of armed fighters', then we must include rebel forces, which gives us a broader picture of fighting in African nations.The majority of fighting in Africa is not one country against another but insurgents rising up against the established government of their own country.In some cases, conflicts span several nations.One example of such is the Ugandan conflict that started as a religious upris ing in 1987 and continues still today, with the help of the U.S. military, to capture Joseph Kony and his fanatic followers.The Sudan Civil War presents an example in which the military, a government entity, actually sided with the people to bring down the existing government.Among all of the conflicts in countries of Africa, the tribal clashes are perhaps the most brutal: the Rwandan massacre, mercifully short-lived, stands as a prominent example of such.The prolonged ethnic cleansing in Darfur â€" unfortunately much longer in duration, is another.Sadly, there is so much of such conflict that the average global citizen really only hears of all this bad stuff... much like with geopolitics in Latin America.It is now time to take a look at Africa’s developing regions, and how those growing economies are working together to build a better African continent.This map of Africa shows that the African continent is far bigger than western Europe! Image by Arek Socha from PixabayLooking at All of the Countries in AfricaOn the one hand, the African continent has vast natural resources, including gold, diamonds and oil â€" the world’s three most coveted materials.On the other, development and infrastructure are seriously lacking and many African nations are suffering a crisis of leadership.Did you know that Russia labours under similar geopolitical challenges?Few leaders of African nations have been able to reconcile ethnic factions that have a long history of enmity, let alone deter those who would rise up to claim a larger share of wealth from the lands’ natural resources.The gender gap in earnings and in civil rights is more of a gulf; many rural areas still ascribe to traditional views regarding women.Through this all, foreign powers maintain an interest in the riches of Africa but have shown little interest in African development.Besides civil matters, one of the biggest problems assailing African nation leaders is resource distribution.For instance, all of th e diamond mines are located in southern Africa; how should Zimbabwe share that wealth with, say, Niger â€" one of Africa’s poorest countries, while possibly inciting their immediate neighbours' ire by not sharing with them?And how to manage international affairs when so few people had ever had any large-scale international dealings?Enter the African Union, an organisation of African nation heads of state and, born to foster cooperation between countries and help manage international relations.Headquartered in Addis Ababa, this recently-founded group replaces the older Organisation of African Unity, whose main goal was to oversee the end of colonialism and ensure against any future attempts thereof.This newer union, with 55 member states, is pledged to advance solidarity and cohesion among African nations, to continue with political and social integration throughout the continent and to encourage international cooperation of individual states.Nobody knows the geopolitical realities of African nations better than African leaders.  How they manage the challenges facing them will depend on how well they can work together.Now take a look at geopolitics around the world...

How to Find a Tutor (It Doesnt Have to Be Hard) - Private Tutoring

How to Find a Tutor (It Doesnt Have to Be Hard) BobbiM Jun 9, 2016 When you or your child need a private tutor, it’s sometimes difficult to know what to look for or how to find a tutor that is qualified and can help you get the results you deserve.   What you think might be the right places to start may actually cause you more issues rather than resolving course or exam prep issues. Tips on How to Find Tutors: For example, you might think that one of the best ways to find tutors would be to look for licensed teachers in the subject areas you need assistance with.   Look for teachers with years of experience and a teaching certificate or license and you are sure to find a great tutor right?   Wrong…..If you are a parent looking for a private tutor for your child or a student struggling with a course or test prep, just think of some of your own past teachers.   How good were they at explaining certain subjects to you?   Maybe even the teacher of the course that’s an issue now can’t present or teach the material in a way that students can understand. So just because a teacher has years of experience as a teacher or has a license and certification, doesn’t mean that they are either a good teacher or, even more important in this case, a great tutor.   It means that they’ve passed the required course and tests to become a teacher.   For those that currently teach, it means that they have the skills and experience to teach. A good tutor requires very different skills and abilities for a successful experience and outcome.   Finding a tutor near you that is good means looking for someone with the knowledge and skills as well as the experience of tutoring one on one with a student.   It’s a person that can work well with an individual and has the patience and ability to express and present the subject matter in a way that works for the student.   And every student is different and there are a variety of ways that kids and students learn best.   Successful tutors know this and can guide students to learn and be able to learn well into the future on their own. Another common practice that many of us think of when trying to figure out how to find a tutor is to look at their academic background.   Yes, academic backgrounds, published works and amazing experiences are all important and contribute to the abilities of a person.   However, none of these have any bearing whatsoever on a person’s ability to tutor.   In fact, many of these teachers are so busy with outside projects and studies that their ability to teach let alone tutor can be severely impacted. You Might Also be Interested In: How to Study â€" 25 Study Tips You Need Now If you want to find a tutor in your area, look for a person that has positive and enthusiastic reviews for the subject from prior clients.   That’s the person that can help you succeed and reach yours or your child’s goals academically. Take a few minutes and talk with the tutor to learn more and make sure that there’s a fit and that the tutor has availability that fits with your schedule.   Whether you want to find a math tutor or just looking to find tutors near you for a variety of subjects for your child, it’s important that you consider the important points when making your selection.   Many people ask, why is tutoring so expensive?   By taking these steps to choose a qualified tutor that can be successful in a subject, you won’t have to worry about that! If you know how to find a tutor, it will only take a few sessions before you or your child is back on track and breathing easier!   That’s a lot of money and time saved by choosing the right tutor.

Minecraft is bringing literary worlds to children - Tutor Hunt Blog

Minecraft is bringing literary worlds to children The game minecraft is bringing literary worlds to children The game minecraft is bringing literary worlds to childrenSchoolsMost parents want their children to read more and play video games less. It would be hard to imagine a parent telling their child `put that book down and play some computer games! Get that novel out of your hands, and replace it with a video game controller. You won`t learn anything by reading War and Peace - you should be playing Pac man!` The prevailing opinion is that reading a novel engages the mind in a way that playing a computer game simply doesn`t. Reading both stimulates and enriches the imagination, as you are drawn into a fantasy world, and become engaged and sympathetic with characters whom you create in your mind as much as the author has created them on the page. There are many who would argue however that video games can be just as immersive as a novel, and they can stimulate the imagination in ways that may even be beyond great literature. For one thing gamers are making decisions that affect the progress of the game - they are involved and reacting to the challenges, engaging reflexively and strategically. While a game like space invaders might not offer much emotional and imaginative engagement, there are role play and exploration type games, that present players with a rich and involved fantasy world. Games like The Legend of Zelda, or the Final Fantasy series immerse the player in a rich and expansive playing area, while providing a detailed narrative which they can become actively involved in. Games like these let the player participate in and influence multiple story lines, with the whole experience couched in cinema-like graphics and sound. Every day thousands of people around the world participate in Minecraft - a so called `sand box video game,` in which players can move around and build structures in a virtual 3D world. Litcraft is a partnership between Lancaster University and Microsoft, which aims at mapping out and building literary spaces from the world of literature in the 3D world of Minecraft. Their first project has been recreating in painstaking and meticulous detail the world of Robert Lewis Stephenson`s Treasure Island. The project is aimed at being more than just a curious rendition of a literary setting in a 3D computer simulation. Professor Sally Bushell, Lead researcher and head of Lancaster University`s English and creative writing department has said the role of Litcraft is to bring literature to more people, calling their project:`An educational model that connects the imaginative spatial experience of reading the text to an immersive experience in the game world.` Speaking about the treasure Island representation in Minecraft, Professor Bushell has expressed the hope that it will bring more people to the book, as well as providing a new dimension to those readers who are already familiar with it. `We hope it will motivate reluctant readers ? we can say, `We`re going to read the book and then at one point, we`ll go play on the ship.` I would have loved it as a kid. It is an empathetic task ? you do what the characters did yourself, so you understand why they act they way they did in the book.` Players of Minecraft are used to literary worlds being rendered on their platform - Westeros, the vast fantasy realm from Game of Thrones has already been created in its entirety; while there may be as many as 1000 accurate renditions of Hogwarts from the Harry Potter books. Feedback from the Treasure Island Minecraft depiction has been positive, with one child declaring that `I like that you get to see the pictures. You don`t have to make them in your head. And I liked the ship, Ben Gunn`s cave and the parrots.` The inherent multi player aspect of Minecraft opens up many interesting didactic possibilities - one example being that individuals can work together to reenact scenes from literature, with each player taking the role of a specific character, and seeing the story from their point of view. Professor Bushell has said that that a future project will be William Golding`s novel Lord of the Flies, and that the multiplayer aspect will develop children`s understanding of the book. `In that case, you want all the kids in there playing out a scenario and asking philosophical questions. We hope they do some reading, then play the game, then do some empathetic writing based on what they did in there.` While many people might balk at the idea of novels being made into video games - perhaps seeing it as a dilution of the art form - it would be worth remembering that there was in the past great opposition to novels being made into films, and that movies of famous works of literature inspire many people to later pick up the book and read it for themselves. 19 months ago0Add a Comment

And if you want to encourage a little more healthy eating around the holidays, you can search through these healthy dessert recipes compiled by HuffPost to whip up something that tastes good and is good for you.

What’s more, your coworkers will definitely appreciate that you took the time and effort to make something especially for them. 5. Small hygiene products. It’s important to stay clean at work, so why not encourage healthy habits? You could present your coworkers with miniature bottles of hand sanitizer, packs of tissues, small bottles of lotion, and even chapstick/lip balm. They can use these not only at work, but also whenever they happen to be on the go. For further ideas on what to get your coworkers this holiday season, you can also check out websites such as nymag.com and instyle.com.

No to Drugs - Tutor Hunt Blog

No to Drugs Most students say no to drugs in favour of study Most students say no to drugs in favour of studyUniversitiesWith all the negative stories in the media at moment - indeed always, what else is newscasting but a quotidian horror-show it's nice to find a story that contains a positive message. It seems students are increasingly saying no to drugs - apparently passing up on the narcotics to better concentrate on their studies. The Higher Education Policy Institute, along with the university of Buckingham, recently conducted a survey, asking university students what they think about the drug problems on their campuses. The research clearly shows that the majority of students are concerned about drug use in universities, with most students thinking it has had an insidious negative effect. To myself, a child of the psychedelic 60`s, this sounds incongruous, unbelievable - an absolute impossibility. Have things really changed so much - changed so much for the better I hasten to add - over the last few decades? Has the American slogan `Winners don`t use drugs` finally swam the Atlantic, only to be utterly convincing to this generation of students? Of the 1,059 full-time undergraduate students questioned in the study, 88% think drug usage causes problems `for the mental health of the user`, and 68% are of the opinion that it cause issues for `society in terms of contributing to criminality`. A surprising 71% of students said that they had never taken any kinds of illegal drugs, and nearly 40% were of the opinion that their university had a `problem` with drug use on campus. The director of HEPI, Nick Hillman, said the results were promising, and that students today are `more hardworking and less hedonistic` than we perhaps give them credit for. I believe the attitude of students towards illegal drugs has substantially changed over the last few decades. In the 1970`s, when I was a student, the atmosphere of the swinging sixties still seemed to hang in the air. To be quite frank, Drugs were seen as cool by the majority of my peers, a way towards enlightenment and self development. This liberal opinion even extended to the faculty of the university: my philosophy teacher would regularly hint that we would learn more in one acid trip than during all of his lectures. With the hindsight of maturity I would like to think this speaks more to the deficiencies of his teaching than the mind expanding qualities of LSD, Timothy Leary`s advocations notwithstanding. Many of the celebrities of the past decades were quite open in their use of illicit drugs. The phrase `sex drugs and rock and roll` hardly seems to apply to today`s pop stars, who appear to exemplify a fairly clean cut lifestyle. The heroes of my peer group during my student days were the punk rockers - hedonists who flagrantly displayed their narcotic lifestyles. It may be that students these days have more sober idols - and this is certainly to their benefit. Another reason for a more restrained and studious lifestyle may simply be that degrees are now very expensive. If you are spending 9000 a year for your education you may be less inclined to miss lectures through intoxication and inebriation. The results of a single study should never be taken as definitive however - in fact a recent report from the National Union of Students states that nearly 2 in 5 students are regular drug users. The report said that drug use amongst students is `a common, although infrequent, behaviour,` and that cannabis is the most widely used drug. Not all drug use is recreational though - my colleagues at university have told me that many students use `study drugs` to help them revise for extended periods. Along with stimulant drugs, which can help students stay awake and concentrate for extended periods of time, a new batch of drugs which claim to actually boost cognitive ability, called Nootropics, are widely used in some universities. It is well worth keeping in mind that the study conducted by the HEPI and the University of Birmingham only concerns illegal drugs - students were not asked about their alcohol intake. So often we colloquially use the category `drugs` to only include illegal mind altering substances - but alcohol, or ethanol rather, the active ingredient in alcoholic beverages, is a potent psychoactive substance, that can be every bit as damaging to individuals and society as illegal drugs. 20 months ago0Add a Comment
