#RevisionCalm First Tutors Competition

#RevisionCalm â€" First Tutors Competition The half-term is is now over and the race towards exam-time has begun. Spring will soon arrive and with it brings the air of preparing for those upcoming, important exams. Some may say that February is too early to start stressing about exams, while others will already have their revision timetables ready and their private tutor booked in to get them prepared sooner rather than later. The pressure that comes with exam time comes in many different forms for both the student and the parent; anxiety, tiredness, fear, stress, worry... and a whole lot more emotions that can sometimes be difficult to suppress. And we all know that while a little bit of stress can help motivate us to work that little bit harder, a lot of stress can cause more harmful side-effects including migraines, loss of appetite and insomnia. Here at First Tutors we know that exam time can be stressful; important exams mean important results. Revision is important but it doesn't have to be a rough ride, filled with stress, arguments and worry. It's all about starting early, being prepared and staying as calm as possible! As it's such a difficult time to relax we thought we'd help you out a little. From today we are running our #RevisionCalm competition. The prize is 50 worth of GoApe vouchers. On Facebook simply 'like' or reply to our posts using #RevisionCalm. On Twitter and G+ follow us, and retweet using #RevisionCalm (Terms Conditions are below). In the meantime to help you find that elusive Revision Calm here's some of our best tips. Revision Tips for the pressurised student 1. Revise at a desk not in your bed. It makes you feel more alert and puts you in a work state of mind. Plus it then makes your bed the relaxing place to get away from it all. 2. Plan Ahead! Make a schedule and try to stick to it. Plan each topic and time carefully instead of trying to study random topics. Structured studying is always more effective. 3. Take regular breaks. The brain can only take so much studying. If you feel your mind wandering it's probably time for a snack. 4. Turn off the sound on your devices while you revise. Sounds obvious but there's nothing so distracting and stressful as constant text, messaging and what's app alerts. Revision Calm Tips for the stressed parent 1. Don't stress your teen out by constantly checking on him/her. It will irritate them, irritate you and distract both of your from the job in hand. 2. Be there when they need you. Make sure you support your teen and make them feel that you understand what they are going through. If they feel they can ask you for your help or you are there to test them, they will feel less pressure, you will feel less stressed and the home will be a happier environment. 3. Don't create an all or nothing mindset - exams are important but making kids think it's this or nothing equals panic not motivation. 4. Work out what's really stressing you out. What's at the root of your exam panic - personal past experience, other parents throwing you into panic, a feeling that your child is struggling? Deal with this to alleviate your stress.

Why are Sunsets Red

Why are Sunsets Red If youre just like most people then you feel happy and excited about the beautiful scene of an orange-red sunset. Have you ever asked why are sunsets red? No? Well, go on reading and learn the knowledge to impress your school-aged boy who shows some interest in science The short answer to the question Why are Sunsets Red is because of the Scattering of Light. Light can be regarded as ray or particle. First, lets use the particle model. Our dear sun bombards the earth each day with tons of light particles called photons. Upon entering the atmosphere of our planet Earth these photons interact with the molecules in the air. Most of our atmosphere is made of Nitrogen molecules (N2). When photon hits a Nitrogen molecule it is absorbed and then re-emitted. Physicists would say these photons promote one of the electrons orbiting the Nitrogen nucleus into a higher level. But the new orbit of the electron is not stable. It spirals back to its previous state. When doing so it re-emits one photon. This absorption and emission process is call scattering of light. Now lets apply the ray (or wave) model to the light. Each wave or light has a wave length. It is the wave length which determines the color of light. Red light means a more longer wave length while blue denotes shorter length. Now lets apply our wavelength model to scattering: Shorter wave lengths (blue light) are scattered more intensely than red light. In fact, a small change in wave length has a large impact on scattering. To be precise, scattering is inversely proportional to the cube of the wavelength. In other words, shorter blue light gets scattered much more intensely than longer red light. Using our concept of scattering think of a red sun set as follows: The light coming from our sun as equal portions of red and blue light. Also think of the suns white light to consist only of blue and red components. The red light shines straight through the atmosphere while the shorter blue wave is scattered (washed out) and will shine on observers elsewhere. In other words sunsets are red because the blue light is washed out from the suns whole light spectrum. Only red light remains. Moreover, now you known why the sky is blue: These are the scattered photons criss-crossing our sky until they reach our eyes and do not participate in sun-sets. Setting the intricacies of physics aside, I like to share some trivia about worlds most beautiful sunset. While opinions differ and people would say sunsets are most beautiful in San Francisco, on a Caribbean cruise or in the middle of the sand-swept Sahara, there is a consensus for the worlds most appreciated sunset: This at Oia a place on the Greek island of Santorini. Hundreds gather nightly in Oia, taking up every last inch of space along its rock walls, stairs, gates and pathways to snap photos and give a loud and rousing round of applause as the sun sinks into the Aegean Sea. The last rays creating a spectacular light show over the whitewashed town.

Dear Nicole Arbour and Fat People

Dear Nicole Arbour and Fat People (image courtesy of www.zap2it.com) The criticism Arbour has received has also been thoughtful and in some cases funny. Notable YouTuber David So has made a response video titled “Dear Skinny People” satirizing Arbour’s own video and pointing out obvious problems with Arbour’s video. The controversy has been a mixed bag for Arbour herself. Some claims have come forward that she was fired from a potential movie deal after the director saw the video, but confirmation was lacking on sides. Time magazine has said that Arbour meant the video to be a deliberate overreaction and satire in and of itself, poking fun at obese people rather than outright shaming them. Interestingly enough in Time, they claimed Arbour had 159,000 subscribers, but as of the writing of this article the number was nearer to 209,000. Most people have criticized this response in a twofold way. Firstly, the suggestion that this is a joke, even on a comedy channel, seems a bit odd. The video is very deliberate and not actually very amusing. There seems to simply be shock value in this video, not satire. The difference is that satire seeks to change the problem to be mocked in the video, in this instance fat shaming. The problem with this video is that it has not fulfilled the role it set out to fill that of a social indicator of a larger problem using humor. The second concern raised is whether this is tactful enough to even be effective at getting a meaningful response. The video certainly has been a spark to talk about larger problems. The issue of obesity is not a new one by any stretch of the imagination. America has been getting fatter according to a study published by the Jama Network Journal. Every day we seem to have some reminder that we Americans are fat. Just look at how other nations see us. They imagine a rude white obese guy with a beer in one hand and an American flag in the other. Well then would it interest the world to know that the majority of American adults are not obese? According to the CDC, 35 percent of America is obese. That is a large group of Americans: 78.6 million people to be exact. It is, you will note however, not the majority of Americans. America’s popular image is therefore reflective of a minority of people and not an accurate representation of America. At the same time, that group of Americans that experience obesity are a large minority and as such this is not a small problem. It is, like most however, not a simple problem. America’s obesity epidemic is disproportionately focused in the Southern and Midwestern states with Mississippi and West Virginia receiving  the highest average BMI ratings by the CDC consistently. (image courtesy of the CDC) These states correspondingly have the lowest GDP consistently. This link between poverty and obesity is well established. So the idea that it is just laziness or lack of exercise that leads to obesity is not entirely true. The cause is more rooted in diet and socio-economic status since the latter directly affects the former. The interesting thing to note is the socio-economic status and diet link in this problem. College students are an increasingly at-risk group for obesity. According to work done by the Journal of American College Health, college students have lifestyle factors, like those of disparaged citizens in West Virginia and Mississippi that adversely affected their BMI. The students studied pointed to being worried about or obsessing over food as well as lack of physical exercise as possible causes. Although the rate of approximately 22 percent obese was not as high as in other parts of the U.S., it is troubling to note that fat deposits put onto one’s body in early adulthood become increasingly difficult to remove because of lifestyle changes. Most adults seeking a college education will lead largely sedentary lives, sitting down for extended periods. This leads to back pain, decreased productivity, and more weight gain. While Arbour has stirred up much controversy with her viral video, she has also done the amazing job of sparking a more profound discussion of how we treat the obese, how we respond to this epidemic, and how we ourselves can fight bad habits to promote our own health and wellbeing.

The Biggest Challenge of President Obamas Second Term

The Biggest Challenge of President Obama's Second Term President Obama took the oath of office from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. at the official swearing-in ceremony in the Blue Room of the White House on Sunday President Barack Obama will once again, be sworn into office of the President before the American people on January 21, 2013 (He was officially sworn in on January 20, 2013). This celebration of President Obama is an opportunity for us to also realize the accomplishments of the President in a hostile political climate,  and  recognize areas in which he miserably failed, particularly for college students, and the people in the African American community. Above all the challenges he will face in his 2nd term, the biggest will be his ability to lead. Imagine for a moment, had President Obama not had his stimulus plan, had Osama bin Laden not been killed, had the powers entitled to him as commander in chief not been dramatically increased, had Guantanamo bay been closed, had the Supreme Court of The United States ruled his Affordable Care Act unconstitutional. These are some realities of a country that prior to President Obama’s election in 2008, was experiencing its greatest financial crises since the Great Depression, entrenched in one of the most painful wars in recent memory. All of the aforementioned battles point to the importance of President Obama’s leadership. While criticism could be logged against President Obama on any of the battles, or his positions on policy, it is irrefutable that he has led this country with precision accuracy. As the effects of new legislation and policy begin to take full shape over the next couple of years, the challenge for President’s Obama’s lies is in his ability to lead a divided c ountry. Some would argue that this is the most significant mandate for President Obama for his 2nd term. The margin of error for President Obama was incredibly narrow over the course of his 1st  term. We have seen over the past 4 years, a consistent attempt to identify any policy or legislation pursued by President Obama and his supporters in Congress, as a failure. Amid tumultuous battles between Republicans and Democrats in Congress, success was the only option for President Obama. Anything short of his promises coming into fruition, would lead to an inevitable characterization of his time in office as a failure, and a 2nd  term as an unnecessary risk for the American people. Because of his steadfast pursuit of policies he promised for the American people, President Obama is being sworn into office for the second time. With that, comes a mandate to lead the United States through the upcoming battles that will persist. The effectiveness of his leadership is more important than ever. The discussions of the national debt and his pursuit of any reform will get the most national attention.   Not to mention the debate, and any subsequent policy or legislation on weapon bans and illegal immigration. President Obama must lead, as he has done before, finding a way to promote effective cooperation on the part of his constituents in Congress. In the background of the national discussions however, lie several groups in the population that will surely demand their voices be heard. Is it out of the realm of possibility that students could stage a nationwide protests due to high tuition costs? Should these students rise up to produce some sort of social movement, President Obamas leadership would surely be tested. It would be in times like those, where the rapport he has established with members of congress would be so crucial. Would the legislative branch of government be in a position to produce any form of change? The leadership President Obama provides will speak directly to that. Furthermore, should those in the African-American community speak a little louder about the stark contrast in unemployment rates, how would President Obama’s leadership rank? As with several of the issues hindering the black community, the issue is systemic; the issue is institutional. Will President Obama successfully lead our nation towards making sure the plight of certain groups is brought to the forefront of the national discussion? The issues are complicated. The routes he has to navigate will also prove to be cumbersome. The burden on President Obama however is simple. Lead the United State of America. Lead with conviction, promote cooperation, and with an awareness of the plight of groups in our country. Without his leadership, and effective decision making, the country will etch towards an entirely divided one. Those looking for answers, will continue to feel ignored unless he is able to unify our country. As President Obama embarks second term, the aforementioned are all worth considering under the guise of how he will lead. If his 1st  term was any indication, he will find a way.
