Chemistry Through The Second Law Of Thermodynamics
Chemistry Through The Second Law Of ThermodynamicsSome people may not understand that the second law of thermodynamics is such a prominent law in the context of chemistry. However, it is an integral part of all physical systems and any system which depends on itself cannot survive. This means that if something else, which is not dependent on the system fails to exist then the entire system will no longer be able to exist.One such aspect of the law is that it can be applied to a broad range of things including your computer's operating system, an electron in a very minuscule fraction of a second, an atom in a mere fraction of a second, a rock in a smaller fraction of a second, a molecule in a very minuscule fraction of a second, and even a drop of water in a very minuscule fraction of a second. The first of these aspects, the one dealing with computer operating systems, was used as a metaphor for the human brain because it was widely known that it requires a lot of computation in orde r to operate at peak performance. The second aspect deals with the fact that we do not need to know everything about the first aspect because there is a minimum amount of computation involved.The third aspect deals with the law of entropy, which is a very important aspect of this law, and it is directly related to the second law. The more bits that are stored in a computer, the more random the outcomes will be, and this law is used to tell us that this will be so in every physical system.Another aspect of the law of thermodynamics relates to how molecules relate to each other. Molecules in a liquid will tend to mix with each other until a certain temperature is reached. This temperature will then be the one required for a change in the dynamics of the molecules, which would indicate that when one molecule changes in a certain way, the rest of the molecules will also change their reactions.The fourth aspect of the law of thermodynamics deals with the dissipation of energy. If a subst ance is heated by a fire, there will be a change in the thermal energy as well as the heat. When we look at the way that this change is manifested in chemistry, we see that the rate at which this change is expressed is directly related to the concentration of energy within the substance.The fifth aspect of the law of thermodynamics deals with entropy. In the case of a human being, the entropy in his body will increase at a rate proportional to the degree of activity or 'life' in his body.As we learn more about chemistry, we learn that each aspect of the second law of thermodynamics is really a characteristic of the chemical reaction. Whenever there is a chemical reaction, we see a spike in the occurrence of different chemical reactions which will eventually lead to the chemical imbalance. This can be described by the expression, 'chemo-chemical imbalance' since every time we see the expression, it indicates that one chemical reaction leads to another chemical reaction leading to a f urther chemical imbalance.

The Future Of Technology In Education
The Future Of Technology In Education The U.S. Department of Education released its New Education Technology Plan May 5th, 2010, noting its strong intentions to implement more technological advances in k-12 classrooms, according to an article in District Administration. The suggested plan includes heavy use of mobile devices, increasing digital usage and content, and social networking for more communication. It is still unsure exactly how schools will use these measures to foster education. The uses will vary from school-to-school. Cell phones could be used to download homework and class notes. Public schools are likely to upgrade their equipment using better technology. Digital chalkboards could replace traditional chalkboards, allowing students and teachers to access the Internet straight from the classroom. Also, teachers will be able to save class notes on their computers and bring them up on the digital chalkboard. Students and teachers can easily erase and write on these boards. These digital chalkboards will make education more organized and appealing to students. Also, teachers and administrators might plan to bring the classroom to where the students are by opening up discussion boards on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and other social media outlets. This could boost engagement of students, as they are digital natives still being taught by largely non-digital methods. Many administrators at the K-12 levels believe that there is not enough government funding to implement many of these measures. District Administration reported that president Barack Obama is planning to cut the Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) program, which has been providing funding for classroom technology since 1994. Obama is planning to combine this program with the Effective Teaching and Learning for a Complete Education program. This program includes funding for technology; however, that is not its main purpose. Some administrators and other education experts believe that this could increase the funding for technological programs in schools. However, others believe that many public schools wont get the appropriate funding necessary for the New Education Technology plan that was proposed May 5th, 2010. Administrators and politicians will remain in debates over funding for education technology. However, there are likely to be enhancements in classroom technology that will help students learn in grades K-12 and be more interesting to students.
The Chinese Languages at a Glance
The Chinese Languages at a Glance How can you Recognise the Different Types of Chinese? ChaptersThe Top Reasons for Learning Different Variants of Chinese!CantoneseLearning Wu and Travelling to ShanghaiMin ChineseâIf you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.â - Nelson MandelaIf thereâs a language that makes you want to travel, makes you want to dream, and is pretty complicated, itâs Chinese. With Mandarin Chineseâs writing and tonal pronunciation, it can seem pretty complicated to master. However, Chinese itself actually includes several different languages, dialects, and regional variants which make learning âChineseâ even more difficult.Chinese is spoken by around 1.3 billion people by 7 main groups of people. From Chinese as itâs spoken in Shanghai to Mandarin, which most students will learn when they study Chinese, you need to be aware of the different languages that make up Chinese and whatâs special about each of them.So what are the different languages that make up Chinese?In this article, weâre going to have a look at a few of them!

As youâve understood, thereâs no such thing as Chinese in the singular. There are different languages and dialects that are spoken across China in different regions around the country.In f act, Chinese is a group of Sino Tibetan languages. The most common is Chinese Mandarin, a standardised version of spoken and written Chinese which is based on the Beijing dialect. Mandarin is also known as Putonghua. While learning Mandarin is also really rewarding, there's more to learning to speak Chinese than just that. Of course, Mandarin is taught in most Chinese lessons.Travelling through China is arguably the best way to discover them and youâll soon see why people in certain regions donât understand one another. In fact, a number of different Chinese people speak languages that are completely different from one another. You'll soon see that everyday phrases are different, each syllable sounds unique, and the way people communicate can make having a conservation almost impossible if you don't speak the local language.Of course, many Chinese people are taught the Mandarin language as it's the official language of China and many people have a good level of proficiency in it . However, you can't assume that everyone in China is a native speaker of the language.In fact, learning all the different varieties of Chinese would be quite the challenge, especially given youâll have to learn all about the different characters as well as the language and culture specific to each region, too. Being able to make yourself understood wherever you are, be it Shanghai, Hong Kong, or Taiwan, is a useful skill to have!Furthermore, being familiar with the various dialects and languages around China will help you better understand the history and culture of the country as well as help you better understand your own language. Of course, not every single Chinese language is easy to learn even to a basic or intermediate level since you need to spend a lot of time understanding the fundamentals of each, learning the characters, practising the phonemes, and studying the culture of where itâs spoken. Learning the different languages and dialects will certainly help you more as you travel around China. Thereâs nothing better than immersing yourself in the local culture to learn more about it and its language.Additionally, learning the specifics of certain Chinese languages and dialects will be a major benefit depending on where you travel to. Knowing these different languages will help you distinguish them better, too. This might be massive in an interview, for example! While no language or dialect is inherently more interesting than another, we wonât be able to get through all of them in just one article so weâve had to pick a few select ones.CantoneseâThose who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own.â - Johann Wolfgang von GoetheWhat do you know about the Cantonese language?Chinese is actually a group of languages rather than one language. (Source: tillahrens)Most people actually know very little about Cantonese. Cantonese is actually one of the top three languages spoken in China and is often compared to Mandarin. The origins of Cantonese are very interesting.Spoken in the south of the country (mainly in the Canton region), Cantonese is also the main language of Hong Kong, which looks over to Mainland China. Cantonese is generally more fluid than Mandarin Chinese.Those who defend Cantonese will mention that Mandarin was only really created 100 years ago while Cantonese is over 1,000 years old. This basically means you canât talk about Chinese history without talking about Cantonese.There are Chinese tones and vocabulary unique to Cantonese. For example, simplified Chinese characters are different from those in Cantonese, which also have different versions in Hong Kong. Furthermore, Cantonese grammar is much deeper and richer than that of Mandarin Chinese, making the language very interesting to learn. It also makes it more challenging to learn Chinese.Furthermore, since it plays an interesting role in Chinese culture, why not learn it instead of Mandarin Chinese as spoken in Mainland China?In fact, in addition to making yourself understood in Hong Kong, speaking Cantonese will also make your conversations with Cantonese speakers more interesting than they would be if you spoke to them in Mandarin.However, Cantonese isnât the only language native to China and nor is it the only language to learn if you want to learn more about Chinese culture. There are other regions with other languages, regional variants, and dialects, such as Wu, which is spoken in Shanghai.Cantonese is the main language of Hong Kong rather than Mandarin. (Source: skeeze)Learning Wu and Travelling to ShanghaiAs weâve said, there are different languages in different parts of China. Shanghai is no exception to the rule, where they speak a variant of Wu Chinese, a language spoken by between 7 and 8% of the Chinese population. Learning Wu Chinese to travel to Shanghai would probably be a good idea if you really want to learn more about the local culture of this city.Wu Chinese probably isnât the firs t language that gets mentioned when people talk about Chinese. While little probably comes to mind when somebody says Wu, there are a number of good reasons to learn about this language:You can learn more about Chinese culture.You can better understand certain populations of China.You can discover more about the places where Wu is spoken, such as Shanghai.You can learn to speak a language that is spoken by very few people in the West.It will help you develop transferable foreign language skills that will come in useful for other language courses.And much more!The bustling megalopolis of Shanghai, whose name means âon the seaâ, is the biggest city in China and one of the biggest cities in the world. While the official language of Mandarin is often spoken, they also speak Wu Chinese here. Itâs used in informal conversations all over the city.The writing is one of the most complicated aspects of learning Chinese languages. (Source: PublicDomainPictures)Learning Wu Chinese would b e a great way to get to know the locals of Shanghai better. Itâs a language worth discovering. There are so many interesting facets to the language that youâll enjoy learning about as you learn it.There are around 14 million speakers of the language. Wu is the second largest language in the People's Republic of China, after Mandarin and before Cantonese, and is the worldâs biggest non-official language. You could even look for private Wu tutorials!Are you looking for Mandarin classes London? What you really need is a Superprof Mandarin tutor!Min ChineseThereâs another language in China as interesting as Wu Chinese, thatâs spoken in the southeast of the country, Min Chinese. This type of Chinese is mainly spoken in the Fujian Province by around 70 million people. Itâs a pretty big deal!There are different languages all over China. (Source: jplenio)So what exactly is Min Chinese?Fujian is where Min is mainly spoken, in the southeast of mainland China, near Taiwan. At aroun d 110BC, following the defeat of the Minyue Kingdom, Chinese peoples moved into the region. There are different varieties of Min Chinese which are generally classified according to the regions where they are spoken:Min Bei is spoken around Naping, in the Fujian Province.Min Dong is present in the Fuzhou region, the capital of Fujian Province.Min Nan is the largest of the dialects and is spoken in a number of different places in Guangdong and Taiwan.Min Zhong is the variety spoken in the Sanming prefecture.Pu-Xian Min is spoken in Putian and Xianyou County.Min Chinese actually uses the same characters as Mandarin Chinese for a number of terms. This can make it easier to learn via private tutorials if youâve already decided to learn Mandarin Chinese. In fact, a tutor is a great option for learning languages like Min Chinese as well as learning more about the accompanying culture.As youâve probably understood, Chinese isnât just one language and nor is it just one type of food, b ut rather a series of languages, a multitude of different cultures, and impossible to classify as just one civilisation.So are you ready to learn more about them?Language learning is incredibly rewarding, especially if you choose to speak, read, and write a new language like Cantonese, Shanghainese, or Min.
French Holidays Celebrating La Fête des Rois
French Holidays Celebrating La Fête des Rois Sign up successful In France, more people probably still remember that according to the Christian calendar, the Christmas season doesnt officially end until after Epiphany, also known as Twelfth Night or the Feast of the Kings (La Fête des Rois), on January 6th. Why? Well, because many French still celebrate it in one way or another. For those who are practicing Catholics, church may still be an important part of the Epiphany celebration. It recognizes the day when the baby Jesus was visited by wise men bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, becoming some of the first to anticipate the influence the then newborn would later have. Though Biblical accounts dont give an exact number and describe them as magi (as opposed to kings), these wise men have traditionally been represented as a royal threesome by the names of Balthazar, Melchior, and Gaspar or Casper. Galette des Rois The most notable French tradition to spread beyond religious or practicing Christians is the galette des rois, a flaky cake with sweet almond or fruit-based filling. A fève, usually a small plastic trinket or a bean, is hidden inside the cake, which is often sold with a crown. The cake is divided by the number of guests, plus sometimes one extra poor mans part for the first person to arrive at the door. The one who finds the fève is crowned king or queen for a day. Those living in France can find a galette des rois at any typical French boulangerie during this season. If you are living in the US and want to experience this tradition for yourself, it is more difficult but not impossible to find une galette. Especially in larger cities, there is often a bakery that has discovered and decided to capitalize on the local population of French-speakers and Francophiles. If you cannot find one locally, consider ordering online. Cuisin for example, delivers galettes seasonally anywhere in the US and Canada. Galette des Rois Recipe If you like cooking French food, why not try your hand at preparing your own kings cake or galette des rois? We like this recipe from French Today: Ingredients: 1/4 cup almond paste 1/4 cup sugar 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened Pinch of salt 2 eggs 1/4 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 2 Tablespoons flour 1 package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed according to package directions 1 dried bean (lima or kidney beans work well) 2 teaspoons confectionersâ sugar Preparation: Preheat oven to 450 °F. Buttered large baking sheet (not dark metal). 1. In a food processor, purée the almond paste, sugar, butter and pinch of salt until smooth. 2. Add 1 egg, vanilla and almond extracts and purée until incorporated. 3. Add the flour and pulse to mix it in. 4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of the puff pastry into an 11-1/2 inch square. 5. Invert an 11-inch pie plate onto the square and cut out a round shape by tracing the outline of the pie plate with the tip of a paring knife. 6. Brush the flour from both sides of the round and place it on the buttered baking sheet. Put in the refrigerator to chill. 7. Repeat the procedure with the second square of puff pastry, but leave it on the floured work surface. 8. Beat the remaining egg and brush some of it on top of the second round. Score decoratively all over the top using the tip of a paring knife and make several small slits all the way through the pastry to create steam vents. 9. Remove the first sheet from the refrigerator and brush some of the egg in a 1-inch border around the edge. Mound the almond cream in the center, spreading slightly. 10. Bury the bean in the almond cream. Place the scored round on top and press the edges together. 11. Bake the galette in the lower third of the oven for 13 to 15 minutes, until puffed and golden. Remove from oven and dust with the confectionersâ sugar. 12. Place oven rack in the upper third of the oven and return galette to cook for an additional 12 to 15 minutes or until the edge is a deep golden brown. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly. Serving Instructions: Serve the galette warm. Make sure everybody knows about the bean so no one breaks a tooth! Are there any special French holidays that you celebrate?

The Importance of Vowels
The Importance of Vowels Suzy S. If youve been taking singing lessons for a while, youve probably practiced several silly warm-up exercises. You know, the ones where youre making funny faces and sounds, saying nonsensical phrases, and so on. All of these exercises have one common goal: to prepare the voice and help you learn to keep your mouth and throat open. Read on as Seal Beach instructor Carl B. explains why vowels are important for this very reason A few years ago I coined a phrase that clarifies the importance of focusing on the vowels while singing. It is: âA song is a series of songs called vowels.â Each vowel should be perfectly formed, sung as beautifully as if it were a song unto itself, and sustained as long as the song allows, regardless of genre. The international singing vowels are ah, eh, ee, oh and oo. These are the vowels sung in Italian, and also in Hawaiian. I have read arguments that there are actually 7 vowels in Italian, and I leave that discussion to others for now. Other languages also have additional vowels, for example in English we also have uh, ih and aa. The reason that we focus on vowels while singing is that vowels are the most open and also the most beautiful sounds we can make with our voice. Because vowels are the most open sounds, the audience hears them best, and so hears the beauty of your sound, your personality, and the emotion in your song. Rather than use the term âresonance area,â I use a more descriptive term, âecho chamber,â because the throat is the echo chamber we use to enhance the sound of our voice. As mentioned in my previous article, we create an echo chamber in our throat by implementing the beginning of a yawn. In doing this, each perfectly-formed vowel creates its own particular echo chamber areas. If a vowel is not perfectly formed, we lose some of that vowelâs particular echo chamber areas, and thus reduce the beauty of the sound and the emotion. Many singers do not realize how well their vowels are or are not being formed. Even very good singers can lose focus on their vowels and think they are forming perfect vowels when they are not. The reason most people say âThatâs not me!â the first time you hear yourself on an answering machine or other recording is that we dont hear ourselves primarily through our ears, as others hear us. Instead, we hear ourselves primarily through the vibration of our jaw bone. The only way to truly hear yourself as others hear you is to listen to yourself in a recording. When you begin taking perfect vowel formation seriously, youll be surprised at the improved sound of your recordings, and also of your audienceâs more emotional response to you and your singing. Carl B. teaches singing and speaking voice lessons to students of all ages in Seal Beach, CA. Carl teaches singing in English, Italian, Spanish, German, in all styles including pop, jazz, classical, country western. He joined the TakeLessons team in August 2012.

How to Sing Jazz Like a Pro in Five Steps
How to Sing Jazz Like a Pro in Five Steps Sign up successful 2. Remember to Breathe If a singer were a car, breath would be gasoline. The better you get at breathing like a singer, the longer you will be able to sing without taking a breath. To breathe like a singer, stand up straight but not stiff. Place your hands on your ribcage (above your waist) so that your four fingers are on the front of your ribcage and your thumbs are on the back. Take in a slow breath, trying to feel your ribcage expanding outward in every direction. This is how you should breathe when you sing. 3. Speak Easy Much of jazz singing occurs on the same pitches we use when we speak. Thinking of singing as projected singing makes it much easier. Using your âsinger breath,â practice projecting words and phrases from a song as normal speech. Now, add the notes back in, maintaining the speech-like quality. Use a mirror to make sure your body and face stay relaxed as you sing. 4. Lift That Palate The soft palate is the squishy muscle right behind your hard palate in your mouth. This muscle moves up and down to seal your nasal tract off from the rest of your mouth and throat. Singers use the soft palate to keep air from escaping from the nose during singing, since singing out of the nose produces a nasal sound quality. To lift your soft palate, pretend you smell something awful but have shopping bags in both of your hands. Practice âpluggingâ your nose this way without actually touching it. Test whether your soft palate is up by singing a note, raising the palate, and plugging and unplugging your nose with your fingers. If the sound quality changes, your soft palate isnât all the way up. 5. Exercise Your Weaknesses As you practice jazz songs, you might notice that some parts are harder than others. Study the parts that are hardest. Why are they hard? Are there fast-moving notes? Is there a large leap? Try practicing these parts slowly, taking the words out and using a single vowel (such as âEâ or âAhâ). Find vocal exercises that address that particular issue, and work them into your warm-up routine. All That Jazz With the right songs and some practice, you can quickly learn how to sing jazz well. Use your new skills to blow peopleâs minds at open mic night, or just to have fun while you sing along to Ella Fitzgerald in the car. No matter where you take your jazzy abilities, remember the number one rule for singing: have fun! Elaina R. teaches opera voice and singing in Ann Arbor, MI, as well as through online lessons.
