Chemistry of Terpenes - Everything You Need to Know About Terpenes

Chemistry of Terpenes - Everything You Need to Know About TerpenesWhile there are quite a few components in the chemistry of terpenes that make up terpene rich plants, there is only one individual component responsible for all of them. In fact, this single component makes up for about eighty percent of what makes up the entire chemical structure of terpenes. This is the terpene linalool. In order to understand how this plant component works, you need to understand its function and how it interacts with other chemicals.The major function of this molecule is to be found within the process of absorption within the human body. This happens primarily within the absorption of essential oils from nature. When these essential oils are dispersed into the lungs and then inhaled, these chemicals interact with the body. They get absorbed into the cells and nervous system and are then carried through the bloodstream to all parts of the body. When they reach the brain, they help in our overall men tal health.When these molecules get into the central nervous system, they help treat problems like asthma, headaches, memory loss, depression, and anxiety. These chemicals also help calm down our skin as well as increase the metabolism of our body. In some cases, this molecule even serves as a signal between the endocrine system and the nervous system to make sure our body is functioning properly. So, this compound helps to keep our body healthy. Not only that, it also helps to keep us happy and relaxed.Now, I want to show you just how this compound can affect your mood. Many people have experienced mood alterations from using cannabis or using synthetic cannabis, while using natural marijuana has also been known to change moods. What we know is that when we use marijuana, our body is exposed to terpenes. Terpenes provide many different mood altering properties to our bodies, such as decreased anxiety and depression. Because of this, studies have been done to find out if there is a link between mood alterations and natural cannabis and terpenes.While this hasn't been conclusive, studies show that when you use terpenes, your moods tend to go back to normal. Since so many people are using this as a replacement for a trip to the doctor's office, this has helped make this plant a very popular alternative. In this case, if you were to stop using terpenes, you would immediately experience a large reduction in mood and other ailments. In addition, this tends to work wonders for the body itself, which can improve the overall health of a person.This also allows us to reduce the risk of many different illnesses that can affect the heart, such as coronary artery disease and high blood pressure. This could be attributed to the fact that the terpenes in your body help to regulate your blood pressure and regulate your blood flow.One of the other things that people are starting to realize is that using terpenes has been linked to actually killing cancer cells as well. Not on ly that, but terpenes can actually help your body build up collagen, thus providing you with a more youthful appearance.

Effort vs. Talent Which hasa greaterimpact on academic success Part One

Effort vs. Talent Which hasa greaterimpact on academic success Part One Improving Academic Performance Anybody that reads this blog knows that we like to write about how mindset, effort, deliberate practice, proper study habits, organization and time management skills, strategic planning (and many other concepts that have more to do with “what you do” than “what you are born with”) are critical drivers of academic success. And, importantly, they are firmly under the control of any student. In our view, these concepts as a group easily trump IQ or talent when it comes to explaining success in and outside of school. At the same time, we know that genes do matter. IQ is a metric that does help explain academic and other types of performance, and it is, for example, correlated with performance on standardized tests (even though I must stress again, hard work and structured practicewill help you improve dramatically on standardized tests whatever your starting point). So, is there a framework that can be used to think about the relationship between effort and talent in explaining academic and other types success? Which is more important? It's a tough question, but while listening to a recent episode ofthe Psychology Podcast hosted by Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman,I think I may have found an answer. My intuition has always been that both parents and students place too much value on innate or “raw” intelligence, genes, and concepts such as “talent” or IQ and not enough on effort, practice techniques, and planning in pursuit of academic or other goals. I tend to believe that many people who appear naturally smart or gifted (in any particular area) and who seem like great examples of “raw talent” actually work very hard behind the scenes to build their skills. A growing body of research, much of which has been written about in the books on our virtual book shelf of recommended reading on academic performance, supports my intuition here. So, I was interested to hear, while listening toDr. Kaufman's podcast,a description between the relationship between effort and talent offered up by Angela Duckworth, who holds a PhD in Psychology and whose research focuses on a concept called “grit” as a driver of success in life. Grit is very much wrapped up in the more simplistic notion that effort is way more important than people might realize when it comes to explaining how and why people succeed. In Grit: Perseverance and Passion for Long Term Goals, Dr. Duckworth defines grit as “perseverance and passion for long-term goals. Grit entails working strenuously toward challenges, maintaining effort and interest over years despite failure, adversity, and plateaus in progress. The gritty individual approaches achievement as a marathon; his or her advantage is stamina. Whereas disappointment or boredom signals to others that it is time to change trajectory and cut losses, the gritty individual stays the course.” So, she’s very interested in whether AND how sustained effort can lead to success. In the podcast I referenced above, she offered up a formula that I had not read about previously, but which intuitively struck me as directionally correct. I should also note againthat Dr. Duckworth is a PhD on the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania’s Psychology department, so I’d imagine that there is some significant research available that backs up the formula I’m about to describe. Beware, we are about to get into just a little bit of algebra. She first offered by the following formula â€" Performance = SKILL x EFFORT. This means that how well you do is a function of how much skill you have and how much effort you put into the task. I’d imagine this seems intuitively true to most people. She then offered up another formula â€" SKILL = TALENT x EFFORT. Here, she’s suggesting skill is a function of two things. First, it does have to do with talent, which she describes as the factor that is driven by genetic makeup and natural ability. It’s what you are born with. However, skills are also a function of how much effort you put into building skills. Practice builds skills, and practice requires effort. Using some simple algebraic substitution, we get to â€" Performance = [TALENT x EFFORT] x EFFORT, which reduces to â€" Performance = TALENT x EFFORT2 What this means is that effort shows up twice when you try to explain performance. In this sense, then, effort is twice as important as talent when it comes to explaining success (as a general rule). Consider this in two different contexts: baseball and math. In baseball, you build your hitting skills through repeated practice, working on your technique and building hand-eye coordination. Your ability to hit is, I think obviously, a function of some starting point of skill and the effort you put into building skill. Now, when you are playing in an actual game, your performance is based on this skill as well as the effort you put into paying attention, running your fastest to get to first base or chase down the fly ball, etc. If you are highly skilled but feeling sick, haven’t slept, and just broke up with your girlfriend (so your mind is wandering), you’ll perform far worse than you otherwise would. In a math class, the same is true. The math skills required to do well on a big algebra test are a function of the effort you put into paying attention in class and doing your homework, and your natural math ability. On the day of the test though, if you are sleepy and your mind is not in the right place, or if you are disorganized and show up late, your performance will suffer, even if your skills are strong. In our next article, we’ll explore some interesting implications of the Performance = TALENT x EFFORT2 formula for success. To explore some of the topics we’ve touched on in this article, consider reading the following books or web-sites: Mindset â€" The New Psychology of Success or http://www.mindsetonline.com/ How Children Succeed â€" Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character or http://www.paultough.com/ The Talent Code â€" Greatness Isn’t Born.

4 Superfoods You Should Eat Daily

4 Superfoods You Should Eat Daily Image via theawesomegreen.com According to Health.com, though there is no medical definition, superfoods are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals. Eating them may reduce the risk of chronic disease, and prolong life, and people who eat more of them are proven to be healthier and thinner than those who dont. Incorporating superfoods into your daily diet is a lot simpler than you think and is actually a tasty way to get some of the most vital vitamins and minerals that your body requires to function at its optimal potential. Most of these items can be found at your local grocer, farmer’s market, or you can even order them online. You don’t have to pick up all of them, but grab one or two the next time you’re shopping for food, as they are a small investment with a big impact. Everyone’s superfood preferences may vary, and there are plenty that I did not include in this list, but adding any of these to your routine will only do your body good! 1. Cacao An often overlooked superfood, raw cacao is essentially chocolate in its purest form and is rich in antioxidants, magnesium, and lipids. It is also known for battling free radicals and aiding in depression and cardiovascular health. Image via Onegreenplanet.org Cacao can easily be incorporated into breakfast meals or healthy desserts. I like to blend cacao powder, almond butter, and coconut milk to my after workout smoothies or sprinkle cacao nibs on top of my oatmeal or yogurt. Cacao pairs deliciously with apples or bananas. Try your hand at cooking with cacao with this recipe for decadent vegan raw cacao truffles. 2. Chia Seeds Originally grown in Mexico, chia seeds are valued for their medicinal properties and nutritional value. Aztec warriors ate chia seeds to give them high energy and endurance. They said just one spoonful of chia could sustain them for 24 hours. Chia means “strength” in the Mayan language, and they were known as “runners food” because runners and warriors would use them as fuel while running long distances or during battle. Today, chia seeds have become one of the most popular superfoods due to the same reasons. The chia seed is  nutrient dense and packs a punch of energy boosting power. They aid in burning fat, increasing energy, and even to reduce signs of aging. Chia seeds pack a ton of antioxidants that help in replacing the nutrients lost when exercising. They’re high in essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese and copper. A unique property of the chia seed is that it can absorb up to 10 times its own weight in water. As a result, the seeds increase hydration and improve nutrient absorption of electrolytes, which helps to slow digestion, thus keeping you feeling fuller for longer. Chia seeds can be consumed raw and sprinkled on just about anything from salads to yogurts. For a sweet breakfast or snack full of vitamins and minerals try making this overnight chocolate chia seed pudding, which you can whip up before bed and take on the go the next day! 3. Maca Root Maca, grown in the mountains of Peru, is a root that belongs to the radish family and is most commonly available in powder form. Maca is rich in vitamin B, C, and E as well as calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium, and amino acids. Maca root has been prized for generations as an energy enhancer and mood stabilizer. It’s nutritionally and powerfully complex with a plethora of health (and beauty) enhancing ingredients. Image via blissfulbasil.com When you first start using maca powder, it’s best to begin by taking smaller amounts and building up, starting with 1/2 teaspoon and eventually increasing to 1 tablespoon as an average daily dose, rotating a few days on and off. I rotate between coffee and maca smoothies when in need of a morning workout energy boost but you can utilize maca powder in many different foods. Be sure not to add maca to hot foods or beverages, as that will cause it to lose many of its nutritional benefits. Check out this link for five easy ways to utilize maca powder in food, such as in shakes or raw treats. 4. Goji Berries You might have heard of goji berries and not have given them much consideration, but their health benefits may cause you to give this tart berry a second thought. Also known as wolfberries, goji berries are sweet in taste and bright in color. Their history as a medicinal plant has roots in ancient China, where goji berries are still used to treat eye, liver, and kidney ailments. The fruit’s many nutritional claims have now made it popular in the United States. Though most often sold dried, goji berries also can be found and grown fresh. For a breakfast treat, try them in cereal, oatmeal, or yogurt. Try mixing goji berries with raw nuts and dark chocolate chips for homemade trail mix. You can also drink your goji in the the form of goji juice or tea. Goji berries also taste great cooked with lean pork or turkey, adding a savory sweetness to hearty dishes.

Facebook Plugin Could Change the Way You Read News

Facebook Plugin Could Change the Way You Read News stocksnap.io De, a student at the University of Massachusetts, attended a hackathon at Princeton University this week. The prompt? Develop a technology project in a time period of 36 hours. She also suggested that her teammates build an algorithm that would authenticate real vs fake on Facebook. And she and her team did it. De, Anant Goel (Purdue University), Mark Craft and Qinglin Chen (University of Illinois) created an extension in a Chrome browser that will tag links in Facebook with “verified” or “not verified.” This is done by considering factors such as “the source’s credibility and cross-checking the content with other news stories.” And if a link isn’t verified? The plugin also provides a summary of credible information on the same topic, to help clarify what the actual news is. And of course, it has a fantastic name: FiB. And because the students are still in school and only had a little over a day to create this plugin, they’ve released this as an “open-source project.” This means that it can be improved by anyone with the experience to do so. And the plugin is available for the masses, but they can’t meet the high demand on their own. So FiB isn’t currently up and running for everyone to use. But the idea is there, and the content is sure to follow quickly, especially with this type of demand. According to Goel, the idea is that Facebook would eventually work with third-party developers to manage news articles on the site themselves. The Princeton hackathon was sponsored by Facebook, as well as other tech vendors, but hasn’t reported reaching out to FiB to help in any way. Same goes for Google, who has been having the same problems. However, both companies have stated that they are going to “take steps” to fix the problem at hand. But the problem is a big one, and it’s only getting worse for the time being. According to BuzzFeed News, over 100 sites made up pro-Trump content (which was traced to Macedonia). In a Washington Post interview of Paul Horner, a fake-news creator, he stated, “I think Trump is in the White House because of me. His followers don’t fact-check anything they’ll post everything, believe anything.” And Melissa Zimdars, professor at Merrimack College in MA, also says she’s seen this problem when her students go to site references for essays. She made the following list, which has gone viral, as a warning to students looking at fake news sites: •Watch out if known/reputable news sites are not also reporting on the story. Sometimes lack of coverage is the result of corporate media bias and other factors, but there should typically be more than one source reporting on a topic or event. •If the story makes you REALLY ANGRY it’s probably a good idea to keep reading about the topic via other sources to make sure the story you read wasn’t purposefully trying to make you angry (with potentially misleading or false information) in order to generate shares and ad revenue. She also stated that it doesn’t help when news media uses click-bait headlines and that it’s nearly impossible to distinguish these from fake stories. There’s also the issue of whether or not people even know they’re sharing fake links. According to Paul Mihailidis, teacher at Emerson College: “I don’t think a lot of people didn’t know; I think they didn’t care. They saw it as a way to advocate. The more they could spread rumors, or could advocate for their value system or candidate, that took precedent over them not knowing. A large portion of them didn’t stop to critique the information. One of the things that has happened is people are scrolling through [Facebook] and the notion of deep reading is being replaced by deep monitoring. They see a catchy headline, and the default is to share.” However, this isn’t the only problem. There’s also the fact that people scrolling through their news feed on a social media site aren’t necessarily looking to fact-check, which means they aren’t looking up stories to verify whether or not they’re true. So in this way, the plugin is a perfect solution. According to De: “A few days back, I read an article telling people they can drill a jack in the iPhone7 and have an earphone plug, and people started doing it and ruining their phones. We know we can search on Google and research it, but if you have five minutes and you’re just scrolling through Facebook, you don’t have time to go verify it.”

Self-learning and Determination Has Helped This Boy Scout Overcome Challenges

Self-learning and Determination Has Helped This Boy Scout Overcome Challenges Self-learning and Determination Has Helped This Boy Scout Overcome Challenges Ryan, 13-years-old, Math Level L, Reading Program Completer For over 100 years, The Boy Scouts of America has aimed to foster the youth of America by developing responsible citizens through outdoor activities, educational programs, philanthropic work, and career-orientated programs. The scouting method instills the values of trustworthiness, good citizenship, and outdoor skills in every scout. To advance in ranking, scouts must follow the scouting method which encourages members for continuous involvement and commitment â€" in order to grow in self-reliance and the ability to help others. For Ryan, he found that he was able to use many of the valuable skills he acquired from Kumon, such as self-learning, in scouting. In the advancement of ranking, he has seen many of the challenges as learning opportunities just like advancing through each level of Kumon. Three years ago, Ryan began his Kumon journey and has since made remarkable strides. Currently, he’s studying the introduction of calculus and working on concepts like basic differentiation and integration in the Kumon Math Program. Committed to reaching a goal, Ryan persevered and completed the Kumon Reading Program in under three years. Before even entering high school, he now has a solid grasp on literature, having already analyzed notable literary works such as William Golding’s Lord of the Flies and Arthur Miller’s play, Death of a Salesman. Ryan’s academic edge has set him apart from his peers and paved the way for continued academic success. He credits Kumon for gaining a sense of independence and being able to work through any challenge whether it’s in school, boy scouts, or sports. “Kumon has helped me outside of the classroom in many different ways,” said Ryan. “Whether I am in boy scouts when I am learning a new skill for a new merit badge, or practicing my shooting skills in soccer, I have learned to persevere even when it becomes challenging. Like in Kumon, I learned that repetition and practice have helped me master skills.” In scouts, Ryan has found great joy in outdoor activities such as camping and receiving new merit badges. When he’s not on his next camping trip, Ryan is embracing his talents as a musician. Two years ago, Ryan began playing the cello and already has reached monumental moments early in his career. He is proud to say that he passed through the rigorous audition process to have a seat in the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association’s Junior District 12 Orchestra. The top middle school-aged musicians from the audition are selected within the district to play with this prestigious orchestra. The musicians are judged on sight reading skills like harmonic structure, rhythm, and style. Ryan’s advanced math skills were noticed by his teachers in school â€" resulting in him being selected in sixth grade to represent his school at the MATHCOUNTS Competition. This non-profit organization prides themselves on making math fun and getting students to overcome any fear they have of it. In their competition, the brightest students from across the country come together to compete in a unique competition series â€" challenging students to further build their problem-solving skills. Ryan’s drive and desire to help others will help him reach his goal of one day becoming a doctor. “When I grow up, I want to be a doctor because I want to help people,” said Ryan. “I always find joy in talking to people and finding out what kinds of interests they have. I have always wanted to help people, and I feel that seeing a smile on someone’s face is always worth it.” Ryan’s hard work and discipline didn’t go unnoticed, as he was one of 55 students selected to attend the 2018 Kumon Student Conference in Calgary, Canada. We had the opportunity to speak to Ryan about his Kumon journey. How has Kumon helped you academically? Ryan shakes hands with Kumon North America President Mino Tanabe Kumon has helped me in a lot of ways academically. I have improved on self-learning, time management, math skills, and reading comprehension. When it comes to self-learning, some of the electives I take in school require me to figure things out on my own. I feel that because of Kumon, I was prepared for this class and what I must do. For time management, I have learned how to better balance my extracurricular activities and school work. In school I feel that I can quickly understand concepts that are being taught, having already worked through it in Kumon. If you could sum up your Kumon experience in one word, what would it be? Unforgettable. What did it mean to you attending the Student Conference? Attending the Student Conference gave me an opportunity to meet other students across North America and learn from them. What advice do you have for other Kumon Students? My advice would be to never give up no matter what. Even though you may not enjoy it or find it challenging, it will make such a positive impact on your future. There are limitless ways that Kumon can benefit you, and you will end up thanking yourself when you look back at your journey. Discover even more student success stories.

Organic Chemistry Tutor Activity - How to Make Your Class Have a Variety of Interests

Organic Chemistry Tutor Activity - How to Make Your Class Have a Variety of InterestsIf you are a beginning student or a teacher looking for a way to bring life into your classroom, there is an optical activity that you can use to make it more interesting. Here are a few suggestions to consider.To get the most out of this activity, you will need inexpensive equipment such as charts, pencils, index cards, rulers, sticky note pads, colored pens, and any other necessary tools. You should have only basic math skills to start with so you won't need the assistance of a math tutor. The type of graphing calculator you use in your day-to-day work might be fine for this activity. If you are having trouble thinking of something interesting to do, you might want to consider an old-fashioned mechanical pencil, which is just as colorful and fun as the latest electronic ones.In the first place, what is this basic homework activity called? It can be anything related to chemistry, such as graphing ch emistry problems, atomic formulas, or the next big thing in organic chemistry. These activities can be conducted in class or in the playground. One idea might be to put together a Science Fun Day and have students on a slide show and talk about some of the developments in organic chemistry, such as enzymes and DNA structure.Students should also have fun coming up with some funny ideas and see how creative they can be. For example, could a field trip to be arranged to the local zoo? A movie night would be even better, since you can find additional activities in movies such as Dumbo or The Wizard of Oz. In fact, if your class is made up of all girls, you can go to the theater and see The Little Mermaid.Maybe a laser pointer game is a good idea. What if the pupils of each student's eyes could be recorded? With just a little bit of adjustment, you could even have the pupil's color for a gradient in the form of the chemical formula. If you do decide to use a pointer game, make sure that there is something tangible in the eye, such as a book or pencil.One final suggestion for creating a fun activity to use as an organic chemistry tutor is to have students decorate the room by adding dyes and art supplies. Students should be allowed to play with their own chemistry flash cards, just like they would in any other activity. If they want to practice with a graph paper of some kind, allow them to do so.Creating these fun activities to use as a supplement to your course work is important if you are looking for ways to keep your students interested. If you are already struggling with math, be sure to make sure that your students are enjoying themselves as well. You don't want your efforts going in the wrong direction.
