Crash Course Biology - How the Fermentation Process Works

Crash Course Biology - How the Fermentation Process WorksBefore making your first batch of beer, it is important to understand the basics of fermentation. Brewing or fermenting is a common practice, with the beginnings of fermentation around 3200 B.C. With this article we will cover how the fermentation process works and the various types of fermentations.Fermentation occurs when organic matter that has become fermentable is broken down and then released from the fermenter in a liquid or semi-liquid state. This liquid and semi-liquid state are calling fermentable. The yeast which are necessary for this process eat the organic matter which gives off carbon dioxide, which then feeds on the remaining nutrient in the raw material. This process can be used to produce lager beer, ale, ale and many other types of beer.Firstly, an understanding of the different types of fermentation is important. Each type of fermentation has its own characteristics that must be understood before trying to b egin brewing with the different varieties.First is mashing, where the grain or other biomass is mashed to a mash of a specific temperature and thickness. Mashing is usually done for about two hours and it is typically an aerobic fermenter. It is used to make wort which is needed to ferment. It is possible to brew without mashing, but at least for this example it is recommended. If you don't mash for long, it is important to be aware that there may be problems with sparging and the overall brewing process.Second is lautering where the fermenter is allowed to sit until it gets cold enough to ferment. This is a bacterially fermenter, which allows oxygen to enter the fermenter in the form of carbon dioxide. Again, the oxygen allows bacteria to grow, which is beneficial for the bacteria and the subsequent use of the fermented beer.Lastly is lager, which is a style of beer where the wort is allowed to ferment naturally without any carbon dioxide added to it. This is generally used for les ser amounts of active yeast and it is used in many styles of lager. This process is commonly used in English lagers and is used to make things like brown beers, English bitters, etc. This process is different from mashing because lager wort is allowed to stay cold.These are the basics of how the different processes work and for this reason it is best to have a basic introduction of how they work so that the fermentation process is more easily understood. Once the process has been learned, it is possible to begin the brewing process on your own.

How does Homework Help in Math for College Students Accelerate the Learning Process

How does Homework Help in Math for College Students Accelerate the Learning Process Every student is special in his or her own way. Every student has some or the other kind of liking and disliking and this discriminates a child from the other. Different child has different type of liking and disliking. It is not possible that every child will have similar kind of liking. There are various subjects that help in making a child know anything better. When I was a child I used to fear mathematics to a large level. Such may be the case for many who are not at all familiar and comfortable with any of the particular subject. Amongst all it is generally viewed that people are much scared of mathematics and thus they do not want to take it to the next level. But still exceptions are there are all fields. Many have taken this brave heart thing and have shifted it to the next level. In college also they have taken mathematics and have thought it to be making it move to the next level. The entire process is very tough and thus it takes a lot of time to go with the flow of the subject. Private tutors are available but very few of them are into good teaching. A good teacher can help you to know the subject deeply and with much enthusiasm. They can turn a subject into an easy one and this will help them to score more and get deep into the subject. But with time the private tutors have become professional and thus it has made students get in lot of problems for now. Unavailability of good teachers has made students suffer a lot of problems and this has decreased their grades and also their moral support. A good teacher at higher level is very much required for knowing the subject in a much better and easier way. Have you heard about online tutors? Yes, it is a new concept and thus very few may be accustomed with the concept. The concept is about providing you with good and proper knowledge and training for a subject under the guidance of a good teacher. The entire process of online tutoring is conducted via internet and thus helps you to save your time, energy and transportation expenses. The online tutoring facility is increasing to a large extent and people are even enjoying it largely. With the passage of time things have fallen into place and it has become one of the good ways to learn and teach. It is encircled with lots of benefits that help a child to get ahead in life and have a better future. Now it’s time to get into the details about online tutoring and how it can help a student. Features of online tutoring There are many features of online tutoring, but the best are some which have been noted down so that you can know better about the process. The teacher is an important part and that is very much available with a good online tutoring service. Every teacher is knowledgeable and thus they can go deep down into the subject and make a student feel more comfortable with the subject. All the teachers that are appointed with any good and reputed online service are very much intelligent and have a good command over the subject. When you have good command over the subject then you can teach also better. This is the basic facility of a good and reputed online teacher. The good teachers make it a point to teach the student with same enthusiasm and this is possible only when you yourself will know the subject. First of all they plan a strategy to conduct the subject and then work according to the plans and programs for betterment of a student. The rates in some institutes are very high, but in some institutes it is very less and can be easily afforded by the middle class parents. This brings relief too many parents largely. The online tutoring services do not have any fixed timing and thus it depends on the student as to how and when they want to avail the class. The availability of the teachers is all the time and this brings in a great amount of self confidence within a student so that they can perform better. The other best part of online teaching courses is that the teachers are there available for each student individually. Yes, it is true that here a teacher can be individually guiding you with his entire time and concentration and this helps a weak student largely. They get lot of support and guidance with such type of teacher beside them. The student can gain lot of help and they can come out of their shell and perform better with having guidance from such a teacher. Not only with the subjects but the teacher also provides you with other help as well. They help you with homework help in which they solve the problems that arise while you complete your homework. Other help such as completion of projects and assignments can also be done by them. A good teacher is available to help you and guide you with such problems as well. It can be said as a total package and thus young generation people are availing it largely. Now you may have in mind that how to discriminate between a good and a bad institute. A good institute will have all the above facilities that are noted down. But still if you are not able o track anyone of them till now then you have gone with TutorPace. Yes, it is a great and one of the reputed institutes. This institute helps their clients with all the facilities that are said above. Good teachers, full time, individual student help and so on. So, may be it has become easier for you to know the institute better. TutorPace also provides you with Homework Help in Math for college students.  

It All Adds Up End of the Year Results are IN! - Heart Math Tutoring

It All Adds Up End of the Year Results are IN! - Heart Math Tutoring It All Adds Up: End of the Year Results are IN! It All Adds Up: End of the Year Results are IN! June 12, 2019 As we head into the summer, we are thrilled to celebrate the outstanding academic progress made by nearly 1,000 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) students during the 2018/19 school year. With an increase in students and schools from the 2017/18 school year, tutors were able to help even more students surpass their goals and end the year on yet another high note. End of the year certificates for a job well done! Take a look at some of our results here: 98% of 993 Heart Tutoring students met program growth goals in math, growing in two or more building block concept areas. On average, students doubled the goal â€" growing in 4.8 concept areas. The goals were set with guidance from math specialists at Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and UNC Charlotte. Students grew from mastering 25% to 57% of the skills needed based on grade-level standards, cutting the skills gap in half. 92% of surveyed teachers believe students showed increased confidence/enthusiasm in math as a result of Heart, up 3% from last year. 91% of surveyed teachers observed growth in foundational math skills for students enrolled in Heart Tutoring, and 83% believed Heart Tutoring had a positive effect on classwork, class tests, or standardized tests. 63% of surveyed teachers said students became more confident and enthusiastic in subjects other than math as a result of the program. 99% of 599 surveyed Heart Tutoring volunteers rated their experience as positive, and 96% would recommend the program to friends or colleagues. “We are extremely proud of our students for building the skills and confidence they need to be successful,” says Emily Gaffney, Executive Director of Heart Math Tutoring. “It truly does take a village to ensure that ourstudents develop the strong foundation in math and enthusiasm for academics needed for long-term success. Because of the building blocks developed and experience of success working with tutors, Heart Tutoring students can progress into higher levels of math, meet graduation requirements, and have better access to post-secondary and career opportunities. We owe a huge thank you to this school yearsvolunteers, donors, and school partners who made one-on-one instruction possible for so many CMS elementary students!”

GRE Verbal Strategy Review Text Completion

GRE Verbal Strategy Review Text Completion GRE/MAT Graduate School Blog Of all the different questions that students work on as they prep for the GRE Verbal, none seem to routinely cause as much trepidation as the Text Completion. If you’ve taught the GRE as much as I have, then you know the particular sigh of fear and pre-emptive defeat that students give when they turn to page to see a sentence riddled with long underscores. But why do GRE text completionquestions seem to cause so much more anxiety than the rest of the GREVerbal questions? Part of the reason, I think, is that Text Completion questions wear their difficulty right on their sleevesâ€"you can see, up front, that some are missing just one piece of information, but several of them contain two or even three blanks that you need to fill in. But beyond that, the Reading Comp questions test you on skills that you haveâ€"more or lessâ€"been practicing in your daily life for over two decades. Text Completion questions, on the other hand, require you to do things with texts and with language that you almost never have to do as an adult. In essence, they require you to take a conscious, methodical approach to doing somethingâ€"readingâ€"that you are used to being able to do in a way that is so intuitive it’s almost mindless. Think about it. Most sentences you read in your daily life are relatively easy to understand, and contain all the information you need. You don’t tend to examine sentences like they are crime scenes, scanning first for things like subjects and verbs, before building a hodgepodge understanding of what the sentence seems to want to say. But this is exactly what you have to do with Text Completion questions. If you’re a math person, this should actually be good news. The sentences in these questionsâ€"like all good sentencesâ€"should function with the logic and precision of mathematical equations. Let’s look at a simple Single Completion problem, to see how this works. His musical tastes are certainly ____ ; he has recordings ranging from classical piano performances to rock concerts, jazz and even Chinese opera. A. antediluvian B. eclectic C. harmonious D. sonorous E. dazzling The most glaring formal element of this sentence, to me, is the semicolon. If you’re rusty on why and how semicolons are used, you’ll definitely want to brush up on them before the GRE, where you’ll see as many semicolons as you saw in all of grad school. Here, as in most cases, the semicolon is used in an area where you could otherwise use a period. It separates two independent clauses that could stand on their own as complete sentences but where the writer wants to indicate a closer relationship between them. Oftentimes these semicolons function like equals signs do in mathematical equationsâ€"the two sides of the semicolon may not be expressed in the same terms, but they ultimately contain equivalent information. How does that help us solve problem? Let’s look closer. We can see that the blank comes in the first clause. Why, then, do we even have the second clause? We can see from the answer choices (tip: never be afraid to look at the answer choices for clues about what kind of answer to expect) that the missing word is an adjective. And, looking at the first clause, it’s obvious that the adjective describes “his” musical tastesâ€"whoever “he” is. But, recognizing that, how should we describe his musical tastes? Here we can see the logic of the question at work. Without the semicolon and that second clause, we would have no way of completing this sentence. The first clause contains no information at all about his musical tastes. All that information is to be found by piecing together clues and information from the second clauseâ€"the clause after the semicolon. Many of the Text Completion questions on the GRE function this way. The part of the sentence that contains the blank simply tells us what kind of information fills the blank (e.g. an adjective describing someone’s musical taste). But the information about what word or phrase is actually correct exists elsewhere. So now that we know we need to figure out which word best describes “his” musical taste, let’s look for clues. We see that he has “recordings ranging from classical piano performances to rock concerts, jazz and even Chinese opera.” This is no longer just a verbal/vocabulary question. It’s also sort of a reading comprehension question. We might note that those recordings are all of vastly different genres of music. The clause seems to exist to tell us that there is great variety in his music collection. Therefore, we are going to look for the answer choice that describes the musical taste of someone who has a wide variety of musical interests. Assuming we know what all the words mean (which is its own battle), it’s obvious that the correct answer here is B., eclectic (which is defined as, “deriving ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources”). To summarize, you can use the sentence itselfâ€"as well as the answer choicesâ€"to determine what kind of information the sentence is missing. That is, what kind of word or phrase is missing, and what is that word or phrase doing with the rest of the sentence. From there, it’s up to you go digging elsewhere in the passage to find clues that tell you what word or phrase works best. Here, we first determine that we need an adjective describing someone’s musical taste. From there, we ask ourselves what kind of musical taste he has. Then, we look for the answer to that question in the sentence and, finding it, select the word that best fits.

More than half of Teachers still haven`t received their promised pay rise - Tutor Hunt Blog

More than half of Teachers still haven`t received their promised pay rise More than half of Teachers still haven`t received their promised pay rise More than half of Teachers still haven`t received their promised pay riseSchoolsAt the end of last year a pay award was handed out by the government, which promised to grant a pay rise for all teachers - 3.5 per cent increase for those on the main pay scale, 2 percent for those on the upper pay rate, and 1.5 percent for leadership teachers. The Country`s main teaching unions were extremely displeased with the proposal, and issued a joint statement rejecting the offer, complaining that, with rising living costs, and inflation at 2.4 per cent, the proposal actually amounted to a real term pay cut for 60 percent of teachers. Some four months later, it seems that the majority of teachers haven`t even received their promised pay increase. A survey of 6900 teachers in England carried out by NASUWT, revealed the shameful information that 57 percent of teachers have yet to receive any rise to their salaries. Chris Keates, the NASUWT general secretary expressed what must be the view of teachers across the country: `Teachers are rightly angry and frustrated at the seeming indifference of ministers to ensure they are recognised and rewarded fairly for the work they do.` `It is yet another illustration of the reason why the education service is facing the worst teacher recruitment and retention crisis since World War Two.` It pains me to have to say it, but as an ex teacher myself, hearing news reports like makes me glad I got out of the profession. It seems teachers are expected to be everything these days: social workers, councillors, child minders, and all this with an ever increasing amount of administrative work to complete. Many of my friends are in the profession, and most of them certainly exceed 70 hours of work a week. To hear that the majority of them haven`t yet received the promised pay rise, paltry as that may be, certainly is disappointing. The survey revelled that 58 per cent of the teachers were `angry` or `really angry` about their pay - one only wonders what other adjectives were available - and also believed that they had been unfairly treated by the government. My wife works in the finance sector, and I`m certain that, if she had been guaranteed a pay rise in writing, she would have received it. The funds certainly seem to be in available to cover the pay rise - £187 million were pledged to cover 2018 through to 2019, along with another £321 million for 2019 through to 2020. As most people know there is a huge recruitment crisis in the teaching profession. This is despite the fact that nearly half of all adults in the UK believe they would be a good teacher. A recent `Get into teaching campaign` put out by the government revealed the confidence the majority of the population have with the prospect of becoming a teacher. How then can there be such a recruitment crisis, given that so many of us believe we would be well suited for the role? The answer is down to stories like this one: hard working teachers being promised a measly pay rise, and then months later more than half of them not receiving it. How is that supposed to entice people into the profession? Over the last 20 years the workload of teachers has increased dramatically - in March last year a Department for Education research paper said that teachers are experiencing `unmanageable` levels of workload, and many senior leaders frequently described their role as `crisis` management. The research also disclosed that `teachers said that their level of workload was only manageable because of the long hours that they worked.` As I commented earlier in this article, many of my teacher friends work in excess of 70 hours a week, marking and making lesson plans during weekends and holidays. We want to attract those who are best able to teach to the profession, not those who are best able to endure low pay, and a herculean workload. The future of our country is built on those who educate the next generation - if we continue to demand more and more from them, making their working conditions ever more pressurised, while denying them promises of any improvement to their financial remuneration, we are certainly building up problems for the future. 13 months ago0Add a Comment

Blacklisting tutors Story of Torezhan

Blacklisting tutors Story of Torezhan As a part of their work tutors commonly have to deal with the problem of fraudulent client requests. According to our experience the most common type of fraud is the “Nigerian Fraud” technique. This article discusses this type of spam and tells the story of Torezhan our encounter with “Nigerian Fraud”. The Nigerian Fraud technique involves the student’s farther who is conveniently a rich business person living in Nigeria (or Australia, Canada, UK, etc.). His son is going to visit your town in a few weeks. The son is new to the U.S. so he needs help with English. The rich business person offers you a very generous hourly rate ($50-$150) and you’re looking forward to this opportunity. The Nigerian business person sends a Western Union wire transfer for $3,000; he emails you a copy. Later he realises he put $1,500 to much on the write transfer and wants the remainder back. If you paid now you loose the $1,500 because the wire transfer copy is a fake. This is the typical form of Nigerian Fraud and it occurs in all possible variations. So watch out! To help our tutors we started to create a blacklist of shady clients. So here is our first blacklisted client: Name of Guardian: Mrs. Gaukhar Name of Student: Name: Torezhan Upushev Location: Kazakhstan, Central Asia Mrs. Gaukhar’s Email: gaukhar.kn@gmail.com On June 12, 2009, Tutorz.com has received a phone call from a woman Mrs. Gaukhar. According to her story she is an employee of a rich Kazakhstan business man whose son Torezhan is visiting New York City. Mrs. Gaukhar wanted immediately been connected with suitable tutors and who have excellent credentials. She also said the per hour is $100 hour and to be paid in cash at the end of the session. The tutoring should be starting immediately on Monday, June 15. A request like this raises several red flags. First, the client named an hourly without any negotiation and the rate was quite generous ($100). Next, the client lives aboard (Kazakhstan), so its out of the U.S. jurisdiction. And lastly, the client wanted tutoring for the next business day. Normally, these red flags would suffice to categorize this tutoring request as a fraud. But Mrs. Gaukhar sounded honest on the phone and gave phone number and hotel. Therefore, we took the risk and connected Mrs. Gaukhar with some of our Tutorz.com working NYC. Jeff Antkowiak of FastForwardThinking called the tutee, his name is Torezhan Upushev. Jeff reported on story (thank you Jeff for your report): We did indeed meet once on Monday for 2 hours, but the situation was a bit confusing. Torezhan said that he was staying in a Manhattan hotel for the next month, and this was where we met on Monday (in the lobby). He scheduled a second meeting for Wednesday at 9am, but did not attend, and it appears that he checked out of the hotel the prior day. His full name is Torezhan Upushev, and I believe that the “Mrs. Gaukhar” was simply a female friend of his. I’m not sure why he wanted this initial meeting or what he was after, but given that both he and “Mrs. Gaukhar” will not return any emails, and that the number they gave is now disconnected. The funny thing about this Torezhan situation is that he actually paid cash after the first session, then made an appointment for the next meeting 2 days later. The next day though, he checked out of his hotel and completely disappeared, and neither he nor the Gaukhar person will return emails or calls. I was very suspicious after the request for a CV in the initial email, but thankfully I did not give him/them any personal information. It’s hard to tell what their motives are when someone is not sincere, but at least no harm was done this time. What can we tutors learn from this story? Look out for the red flag and don’t give out your personal information unless some trust has been established with your client.
