How To Understand Definition Visco- Chemistry

How To Understand Definition Visco- ChemistryDefinition viscosity has become a lot more important than it was in the past. Just as density and volume have become the two most important factors in the formula for defining something, so too have they become the two most important factors in how to analyze it. This is because it can either make or break your understanding of the subject. And if you don't understand what you are looking at, then you will probably not be able to analyze it correctly.This is where the subtlety of definition viscosity comes into play. Many people who are involved in this field believe that it is impossible to determine the exact definitions of the various things we study in this field because, after all, what we are trying to define is relative to another. Therefore, for any research that involves one of these kinds of measurement, the scientist must always rely on other methods to see if they can find the true value.This may seem like a rather circular way of doing things, but this is only because it is indeed true. In fact, there is a whole host of tests that have been developed to make the determination of what is actually viscosity. However, when it comes to the real question of defining it, you cannot use the traditional scientific method. Instead, you should go to a description of viscosity made by a chemical chemist.To help you get an idea of how this process works, let's take a look at the difference between density and volume. It is easy to see that density and volume are related to each other, so if you really want to know the definition of density, you must take a look at volume. The same is true of the definition of viscosity.Now, what happens when you apply it to this instance? When you compare the viscosity and density, the two are related in many ways. Forinstance, if you look at the value of viscosity with respect to different substances and their mixture, you will see that it becomes very easy to do. If you put a wate ry substance and a gas together, you will observe that both of them will be more or less more or less dense.The same thing can be done with liquids and gases. This also explains why it is such a common example in real life as well. In the case of liquid water and liquid gas, the density will differ from time to time, depending on whether the gas is solid or liquid.So, in a certain sense, the difference between density and volume is the difference between viscosity and density. They are related because they are both relative to some other standard. Thus, to know the definition of density, you must also know the definition of viscosity.

NACAC Changes Its Ethics Code

NACAC Changes Its Ethics Code If youve been paying attention to college-related news in recent months, you might have heard about the decision made by the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) to remove several provisions from its Code of Ethics and Professional Practice. The NACAC was founded in 1937 and is an organization of more than 15,000 professionals from around the world dedicated to serving students as they make choices about pursuing postsecondary education. NACAC membership is voluntary, but members agree to uphold the Code of Ethics and Professional Practice in order to promote best professional college admission practices. Acting upon an inquiry by the U.S. Department of Justice into these provisions violation of antitrust laws, NACACs Assembly voted at the 2019 National Conference in September to remove a few sections from its code of conduct. Why? To address the Department of Justices belief that those provisions inhibit competition among colleges for students. Heres what the removed sections covered: Offering exclusive incentives for early decision. Previously, the ethics code stated that NACAC member colleges must not offer incentives such as special housing, enhanced financial aid packages and special scholarships to early decision applicants or admits. Recruiting first-year undergraduates who have committed to other schools. This section essentially prohibited member colleges from knowingly recruiting or offering enrollment incentives to students who are already enrolled or have declared their intent to enroll (or submitted contractual deposits) at other colleges. The code referenced May 1 as the point when enrollment commitments become final and mentioned the fact that colleges must respect those commitments. Two notable exceptions to the no-recruiting rule were when students were admitted from a wait list and the students initiated the inquiries themselves. Recruiting transfer students. NACAC member colleges were not allowed to solicit transfer applicants from a previous years applicant or prospect pool unless the students initiated that transfer inquiry. Colleges were allowed to recruit transfer students if they first verified that the students were enrolled at a college that allowed transfer recruitment or the students were not currently enrolled. Ultimately, the Justice Department argued that the above provisions restricted fair tradeor in other words, they prevented colleges from competing for students. Now that theyre removed, the recruiting practices of college admissions departments could change. How might this impact your college-bound teen? Time will tell, but you might see colleges more aggressively recruiting students even after theyve already committed themselves elsewhere. If colleges want certain students, they might find creative ways to entice them with financial aid or housing. Some in the industry have even questioned whether well see more high school seniors continuing to debate their college decision well into the summer before college begins. However it all plays out, one thing is certain: it is always important for your teen to make him or herself an attractive college candidate by earning good grades, performing his or her best on the SAT and ACT, and developing a strong college resume. Every college wants to attract the best possible freshman class, after all. Remind your teen that it is essential to stay focused and finish high school strong, because colleges are paying attention.

Marriage Should Not Determine Equality Why Assimilation Equals Death

Marriage Should Not Determine Equality Why Assimilation Equals Death image via http://www.ctv.ca So, whenever the sector of the queer population that is more palatable to straight society is held up as the model and the ultimate goal, minorities within the queer community suffer greatly. With shows such as The New Normal and Modern Family that present white, cisgender males as the over-reaching image of gayness and queerness, queer POCs and many others are disenfranchised. Homonormativity in the media maintains classist, racist systems in which only married males can enjoy acceptance and rights in society,  and the rest have to scrape by in order to live decent lives without the support of the state. People such as pansexuals, trans* individuals, bisexuals and non-normative queers are left out of representation and out of the face of our community. An issue that goes unaddressed and that is far more important than the quest for quasi-heterosexuality in the predominantly white, middle class gay section of the community is queer youth homelessness. No, they dont have time to think about weddings or whether they will one day have a family because they are too concerned with drug addiction and surviving on the streets. The fact is that 58 percent of homeless queer and transgender youth have been sexually assaulted compared to 38  percent of heterosexual homeless youth. Forty four percent  have been stopped on the street and been asked to exchange sex for money, drugs, shelter or clothes. Homeless queer youth are essentially invisible, as federal programs fail to protect them. Out of the federal governments $4.2 billion budget allocated for homeless-assistance programs, only $195 million goes toward homeless youth programs. image via http://fortytonone.org We arent asking for much. We are only asking that all are included within those words that are supposed to make us a community. We only ask that rights are given to all, and that all of our issues and struggles are prioritized by the federal government, and by the governments of other countries, but mainly by ours, as this is the place we call home. image via https://decolonizechris.wordpress.com It is the reason why anti-assimilationist groups who actively oppose the setting up of such a hierarchy with white gays at the top are so upsetbecause equality is much more than being allowed into their systems of oppression and allowing them to determine the full array of queer relationships and unions through state sanctions. The change that is being striven for isnt a change that many queers wish to be a part of. It is a change in which many of them are still disenfranchised. Why strive for an equality in a system that denies their very existence and their very rights? Why settle for marriage and being able to serve in the army and fight for the patriarchal, capitalistic values of the oppressors? image via http://www.columbia.edu What happened to our Stonewall? What happened to our spirit? What happened when we just grabbed life and our rights by the horns? Why has anarch-queer become such a foul word? Why do we forget that it was trans-women that fought for us, and queer POCs? The truth is that focus on one of our problems is killing countless of us. We need our stories told. We need our role models that represent us and that show the world that there is more to us than they would like to recognize. We need more people like Janet Mock and our Laverne Cox. We need more films that show all bodies and all identities and all orientations, not just the ones that the public and our community has been mass-fed and deemed palatable enough to digest and invite to Christmas dinner. image via http://colorlines.com Our purpose shouldnt be about convincing non-queers that we are deserving of human rights, whether married or not. We have to convince them just how non-threatening we are, and just how much we appreciate whatever meager representation we can get, and whatever they throw at us. This is simply not okay, and this is not acceptable. We should not have to settle for this. We should not settle for becoming cute accessories or a single Pride event. We should engage in politics, and remind the heterosexual majority that we are here to stay in all of our glory whether they want it or not. People didnt get their rights by sitting still and waiting for them. image https://queersingularity.wordpress.com Assimilation equals death. Marriage should not determine equality. We are a rainbow. We are here to stay.

Private Tutoring Homeschooling - Is It Right For You?

Private Tutoring Homeschooling - Is It Right For You?Private tutoring homeschooling is the perfect solution for parents who want to have a private classroom at home. This means that they can focus on their families, hobbies, and other things that may be more important to them, rather than their child's education. The benefits of this type of homeschooling are tremendous, and if you are looking for a way to save money while still having a quality educational experience, you will find that private tutoring homeschooling is your best option.There are many benefits to private tutoring homeschooling, not the least of which is the ability to watch your child in a high-quality classroom environment. Even if you have several children, there is a great deal of support from a professional teacher in the classroom, and this is a rarity in most homeschool environments. Some homeschool families even allow additional siblings to be in the classroom during regular class times, so that the teachers can have some more hands-on experience with their pupils.The other huge benefit of a private tutoring school is that the teacher will spend more time with your child and will spend more time with you, before the school years begin. This is a very unique benefit, because the teachers will likely have been working with your child for months, and the last thing you want is them teaching your child at the same time as you. These opportunities allow the teacher to truly feel your child, so that they can get to know the child, and that trust will translate into real student teacher interaction. These interactions are vital to developing a positive learning relationship, which is key to any good education.There are lots of drawbacks as well, though. One major drawback is that there is no support system for your child, except for the teachers in the classroom. This means that if you have any questions or problems, you will not be able to get help, which means that you have to rely on the te achers to answer any questions you may have, which can be very frustrating and may result in some resentment.A more drastic downside to private tutoring homeschooling is that there is limited resources available. In many homeschool situations, the private tutor is the only person that has access to the curriculum and materials that are used by the teachers. This means that if the tutor goes down with a medical emergency, the teacher has no one else to turn to but the private tutor, and you will lose all of the work that was done for the school year.Also, if your child begins to make a lot of mistakes, this private tutor will be forced to cut your child out of the lesson plan. This can be extremely upsetting to many parents, because it means that they are not going to have the same educational experience as the teacher, and may be reluctant to contact the school again. If your child does begin to make more mistakes, and is not willing to learn, this private tutor will also be forced to cut your child out of the lesson plan, which could have lasting effects on your child.So, overall, private tutoring homeschooling is the best choice for parents who want the best for their child and want to get the best education possible. It allows parents to pay attention to their other interests and have the opportunity to learn more about their child. However, parents should be aware of the disadvantages to this option, especially when it comes to maintaining a close relationship with the teacher.

Chemistry Element Jokes: Some Basic Examples

Chemistry Element Jokes: Some Basic ExamplesChemistry element jokes are commonly used to draw laughs out of the audience. There are several different types of humor with elements that are based on chemistry. A chemist who is simply joking about chemistry can often be very funny, while an actual scientist may be easier to read. But chemistry element jokes can come from any range of people, including teachers, politicians, cartoonists, and scientists themselves.One of the most popular chemistry element jokes is one that was written by Walt Disney. During World War II, the United States Air Force had a computer program that could be programmed to figure out the atomic weight of each atom. It took the aid of this program to determine which weapons to produce based on the weight of a specific type of bomb.However, in most chemistry element jokes, the scientist or engineer who designed this program is made fun of. As an example, if the program was somehow damaged, a large part of it would have to be replaced. Although it is often said that this can only happen if the program is built from 'only parts that can be made by humans,' other versions of the joke might say that this can also happen if the person who wrote the program accidentally runs into a problem and then scrambles for a few moments to run the program again. Either way, the joke about how this program worked was a simple yet amusing one.Chemical elements are considered to be 'boring' when compared to their visual counterparts. However, element jokes are very simple and sometimes can even be said in such a way that it makes them seem more intriguing than they really are. For example, one element chemistry joke says that there are two kinds of matter in the universe - the cold ones and the hot ones. The cold ones can't be broken down or altered and cannot be turned into anything else.Another example of element jokes goes on to say that there are two different types of 'excitement.' One involves motion and t he other involve heat. Once again, these jokes focus on these two primary elements rather than the other four types of elements.One of the most famous chemistry element jokes is not so much a joke as it is a claim. When someone tells this joke, he or she claims that they will accomplish something in two minutes. But then, after they've done what they claimed, they do nothing to actually accomplish the goal.If you're curious about some of the chemistry element jokes that are common, one you can find is that a molecule that forms in a nuclear fusion process is classified as a 'more boring' one. A joke telling the same story also revolves around an element being known as 'one of the hottest new things to come out of India' but is then revealed that it's a gas in the form of a fairy dust. Of course, one joke goes into great detail about the chemistry element element man made out of clay, and another joke makes fun of how geologists classify all of the different minerals as igneous. But there are still a lot of jokes that focus on these four elements.
