Basic Structures of Sulforaphane (Valence Shell)

Basic Structures of Sulforaphane (Valence Shell)Valence shell and sulphur are the two basic chemical elements that make up a shell. Shells have been used for thousands of years as both art and medicine. Though shells have been shown to inhibit cancer, there is still much we do not know about their ability to help reduce cancerous cells in the body.The shell is made up of sulphur and valence. The combination of sulphur and valence has been known as 'shell sulfur' and this has been the basis for all other substances from the silica group to sulfides to sulfur compounds. In the human body the combination of the two silicates in the form of sulfides is known as sulforaphane.Sulforaphane has been found to reduce inflammation and pain resulting from sciatic nerve pain. This has been shown to decrease the size of tumors by thirty to forty percent.Another way that the Sulforaphane helps the patient's blood to function normally is in the metabolism of glucose by reducing the level of glycolys is and up regulating the activity of the pathways of ketogenesis. In other words, it can actually turn on the body's fat burning mechanisms.In the blood of animals Sulforaphane and hydrogen sulfide can bind to the receptors for neurotransmitters and increase the levels of these chemicals in the body. Serotonin and dopamine have been shown to be reduced in humans who are consuming the substance.Citalopram is another substance found in the PFA group. It has been found to lower blood pressure and lessen some of the symptoms of depression and some are even being used to treat anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorders.Another compound in the PFA groupis Phenylacetone. It has been found to stimulate the immune system and allow the body to heal itself from various diseases and ailments. If you are suffering from any of the conditions mentioned above and have tried any of the treatments and medications available, please think about making a point to research more about PFA and see if it ca n help you feel better faster.

Calling All Webcomic Artists LINE Webtoon Challenge League Seeks New Artists

Calling All Webcomic Artists LINE Webtoon Challenge League Seeks New Artists Photo Via: https://lh4.ggpht.com According to a recent press release, the Challenge League is a “new feature that allows for artists to submit their webcomics for a chance to become an official LINE Webtoon artist.” The best part: this is a completely free chance to show LINE Webtoon what you’ve got. There’s no cost to the Challenge League and, as stated in the press release, it’s a great outlet for “aspiring artists looking to showcase their talents and gain recognition” while at the same time surrounding themselves with the “best comic content available via mobile and desktop.” In officially launching this Challenge League, “LINE Webtoon will host a $50,000 competition globally” in hopes of finding the “best” new webtoon artist. JunKoo Kim, who serves as Director and as the Head of the LINE Webtoon division, said: “We have spent over 10 years discovering and showcasing some of the best webtoon artists and content to our fans, and now we’re giving them the chance to become official LINE Webtoon webtoonists through Challenge League.” So what’s the appeal of competing in Challenge League? Photo Via: http://comicbastards.com For one thing, this opportunity grants artists the ability to meet and communicate with their audiences “through a simple and easy to use interface.” This environment allows artists to reach a higher popularity while simultaneously becoming official webtoonists. Opportunities that usually arise from affiliation with LINE Webtoon include re-creation of the webcomic across “diverse” media including TV series and film. Also, according to the press release, “LINE Webtoon is dedicated to helping artists launch a full time career, with some Webtoon artists earning up to $80,000 a month.” That’s a pretty steep paycheck, so an artist that can get his/her foot in the door with a company such as this is in good hands. As far as eligibility goes for this opportunity, anyone over the age of 14 is eligible to compete in the competition. All you need to do is upload a webcomic (in English) to this website. Content is judged on “audience engagement, such as number of views and shares” as well as “creativity, originality, and the artist’s ability to publish webcomics on a weekly basis.” And what of the prizes? There are two, third place prizes, one, second place prize and one grand prize at $5,000, $10,000 and $30,000 respectively. This contest will run until January 25, 2015 and the winner will be announced five days later. However, the Challenge League service will still be provided on the LINE Webtoon official site after the contest as well. Photo Via: http://31.media.tumblr.com The contest won’t be the extent of LINE Webtoon’s engagement with their audience, as they also wish to work more closely with universities and centers of higher education to “reward student artists that participate in the Challenge League competition.” According to the press release, if a student wins the $30,000 grand prize, there will be an additional $30,000 donation to that student’s institution of higher education. Likewise, they will be offered a contract with LINE Webtoon to produce official webcomics for the company. The opportunities LINE Webtoon is presenting its fans aren’t to be taken lightly, and in the expansion of the site’s audience by global means, prospective artists for the company will be promising individuals of incredible talent. Because LINE Webtoon has a large Korean following, the team looks forward to seeking out new artists on a global level, branching out to discover webcomic artists in new territories. In discussing the global appeal of LINE Webtoon’s Challenge League, Kim said: “Based on Challenge League’s popularity in Korea, where 73.4 percent of LINE Webtoon artists are discovered through Challenge League, we are excited to launch the competition globally and discover the next generation of webcomic artists.” LINE Webtoon itself was launched globally on July 2 of this year, and the site currently offers “multiple genres of webcomics” and “easy access to downloaded content on-the-go” as well as “approximately 53 webcomics.” Photo Via: https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net For anyone interested in more information on the Challenge League, you can visit the site, or to download LINE Webtoon, you can visit the Apple App Store and Google Play. Beginning November 27, fans can get all Challenge League content through these apps. Good luck to all participating!

Say Hello to 9 World Languages with Graded Readers!

Say Hello to 9 World Languages with Graded Readers! Say Hello to 9 World Languages with Graded Readers! Language learners want to soar.We dream of reaching new levels of fluency, flying high like an eagle and straight into foreign language nirvana.We imagine heart-to-heart chats with locals in faraway lands, reading foreign novels, navigating idioms and conjugating verbs with ease.We want it all.So how, then, can we  make that happen more easily?Let’s take a quick peek back down Memory Lane.When we first tottered off to kindergarten, we already had a grasp on how our native language works. We could already speak, think and dream in our native language without any real effort. Most of us could read and write to some extent, even if reading felt laborious and our writing skills were unrefined. Teachers jump on that knowledge, encouraging more in-depth language skills using a very important tool.Graded readers  are that tool. Theyre ideal for teaching reading in  a first language, and instructors know that. The good news? They perform equally well with any subsequent languages you choos e to learn after your native language, and many publishers have made graded readers specifically for this purpose.Everything You Need to Know About Graded ReadersWhat are graded readers?Graded readers are books written for language learners. As in, theyre completely geared toward increasing language ability! How awesome is that?Their use of limited vocabulary and grammar thats appropriate to the skill  level of the reader allow reading to happenâ€"at all levels, even a basic oneâ€"without a struggle. And that, my friends, is a gift.They often introduce vocabulary, grammar and cultural details with glossaries, indexes or  on-page notes (think footnotes and margin notes). Some are formatted to have one page of text and the  following page with definitions and notes side by side. There are graded readers that have audio accompanying the book, which is one of my favorite features. Hey, why not learn how to pronounce while increasing other language skills? Win-win!But how can graded read ers amp up language learning? Let’s take a peek at how graded readers are structured.The most basic or beginner-level graded readers are just thatâ€"basic. For example, most children’s books are lower grades. Theyre perfect for the beginner level, with a few little challenges here and there to keep brains working. As reading skills improve, the next gradeâ€"or levelâ€"of books is accessible to the reader.  Language and reading skills build upon each other. As proficiency increases, intermediate level books come into the mix.Graded readers improve reading skills and proficiency in a logical manner. Vocabulary increases and thinking skills broaden in the target language while stories progress in difficulty to match those growing skills.What does graded mean?You might be wondering how graded readers are actually graded. Good question!The Extensive Reading Foundation grades readers  according to vocabulary. It’s all about the wordsâ€"how many we acquire and our ability to use them .Can anyone benefit from using graded readers?Remember how we hit grade school, with limited reading and writing abilities? We had a core vocabulary but a thirst for knowledge. It’s the same with learning a secondâ€"or third or fourth!â€"language. As long as you’ve got a basic vocabulary, you should be able to read. You won’t understand everything at first, but that comes with the vocabulary and language skills graded readers encourage.You might be wondering how extensive a vocabulary is considered the minimum for reading in a foreign language. Most agree that  90-95%  of the words should be familiar, both for conversation and reading.You’re getting discouraged, aren’t you? Don’t go there!  Even though research shows knowing 95% of the words on a page makes reading a snap, with the help of graded readers, reading is possible even without being familiar with that many words.  It’s not as easy, but it’s not impossibleâ€"and that’s what counts!At first you’ll probab ly guess the meanings of many new-to-you vocabulary words. That’s okayâ€"keep the guesses coming. With time, those words will become part of your skill set and help send you flying on to the next level. There are plenty of great benefits that anyone can get from working with graded readers, such as:Increased confidence is a biggie! Reading in a new language is a big dealâ€"strut your stuff, fluff out your feathers and shine.Gaining a more extensive  vocabulary in your target language is a huge payoff. Each level of graded reader incorporates new terminology.Graded readers have been proven to improve reading skills and encourage thinking skills in a target language.Listen, they worked for us in grade school through high school, didn’t they? They still workâ€"in any language!Which graded readers should you choose?Definitely read something youre interested in. It’s a fact that we pay attention to anything that naturally  catches and holds  our attention.Don’t even think about c hoosing a book that you feel like you should read unless it’s something you want to read, too.Read slightly above your comfort zoneâ€"encourage your mind to stretch a bit. Again, don’t expect to know all the words on the page. Challenge yourself.Say Hello to 9 World Languages with Graded Readers!Hola!

Perseverance Helps This Young Tennis Player Win On And Off The Court

Perseverance Helps This Young Tennis Player Win On And Off The Court Perseverance Helps This Young Tennis Player Win On And Off The Court Hazel, 14-years-old, Math Level M, Reading Program Completer Venus and Serena Williams, Andy Roddick, Arthur Ashe, Billie Jean King, and John McEnroe all share a common bond that’s much more than the love of tennis. These tennis legends display a high-level of mental focus and intensity in their matches. Whether they are walking onto the court for a championship match at Wimbledon, or at the local court practicing â€" they bring that same level of focus and determination. Mental toughness and athletic ability aside, another common denominator of all great athletes is goal setting. Roger Federer once said, “You have to believe in the long-term plan you have, but you need the short-term goals to motivate and inspire you.” For 14-year-old Hazel, she learned early on that setting goals for herself in all aspects of life, helps her remain motivated even through challenging times. Hazel has been playing tennis at a competitive level for over four years, and credits Kumon for her unwavering perseverance in the game. “Kumon has taught me to persevere even when things become challenging,” said Hazel. “This really applies to me in tennis and not giving up during a difficult match, even if I am losing. Kumon has taught me to maintain a high-level of focus, which keeps my head in the game.” Hazel’s journey in Kumon began nine years ago when she was just 5-years-old. While she has had challenging moments along the way, she found them to be learning opportunities to grow as a student. Keeping her long-term goals in mind, she forged a path of success for herself â€" placing her far above her peers. Before entering high school, Hazel completed the Kumon Reading Program. She is also determined to complete the Kumon Math Program, currently working on loci, quadratic inequalities, and limits of trigonometric functions. Hazel has displayed a unique level of focus, which has been a leading factor in reaching her goals both in Kumon and tennis. Persevering through the toughest matches has lead her to walking away as a champion. In 2017, she was the 1st place champion in two singles tournaments and 2nd place in doubles. Off the tennis court, Hazel is an accomplished pianist. She has been disciplined in her practice currently studying under the grade 8 piano curriculum through the Royal Conservatory of Music. The Royal Conservatory of Music sets a national standard for young musicians, putting them on the path for musical excellence. The curriculums for each level include a range of advancing repertoire, techniques, musicianship, and music literacy â€" elements considered to lay down a successful foundation in musicians. Hazel’s abilities as a pianist were recognized as she was selected as a nominee for the Mary Gardiner Jr. Award for piano at the Contemporary Showcase. Hazel’s future aspirations include being a scientist in a research laboratory, as well as a snowboard instructor on the side. In her spare time, Hazel enjoys hitting the slopes and reading mystery and science fiction novels. Hazel’s hard work and discipline didn’t go unnoticed, as she was one of 55 students selected to attend the 2018 Kumon Student Conference in Calgary, Canada. We had the opportunity to speak to Hazel about her Kumon journey. How has Kumon helped you inside of the classroom?

Enriching Your World With Saturated Chemistry

Enriching Your World With Saturated ChemistryBeing taught to think in saturated chemistry requires you to learn about what that term actually means. In a more simple sense, it refers to the most used aspects of chemical and physical science. Every living thing is made up of atoms, which are connected to each other by chemical bonds.If you think about the building blocks of everything you have in your home, like your clothes, furniture, walls, and of course, the people you love, then you will get a clear picture of what this term actually means. The idea of the state is that a substance has a chemical or physical affinity to another substance, or the reverse. We call them 'Saturated' when there is a greater affinity to the other substance than the original.Saturated chemistry is the study of interactions between different substances that are closely related by chemical bonds. Everything in the world that we can see or touch was once in the form of molecules or even solids. Sometimes, these mixtures are no longer considered solid but liquid. That is why the term 'solid' is commonly used when discussing the mixture between two liquids.What makes these methods of chemistry so important is that they serve as a great way to determine the properties of a substance, and how they interact with one another. This information is so valuable to the production of commercial products and industrial processes. For example, if a chemical makes the oil tank lubricant flow better than the old material, it can be predicted by the science of saturation chemistry.Since this method is such a broad topic, there are many uses of the science in different purposes. If you think about it, the science of saturation can be useful in numerous ways, like these: the treatment of plants, soil, animals, and people, as well as various industrial processes. It can also be used in medicine, as well as the farming industry.When thinking about it, the science of saturation could potentially help peop le with their daily lives. Saturated chemistry is now applied in so many ways, from the production of fuel to the cultivation of plants. When the processes in our environment are monitored for any changes, the time will come when we will see changes too.The science of saturation has seen a lot of development over the years and is still going strong as a scientific field. However, it is crucial to note that these are just some of the things saturated chemistry can teach us.

It can be difficult to choose between portability and comfort when working. Of course, the computer isn’t the only thing you need to consider when it comes to working. Let’s have quick look at the other components you need to consider.You can get so much work done with the right computer. (Source: StartupStockPhotos)Screens and PeripheralsWhen you buy a computer, there are a number of things you have to buy in order for it to work like a screen, a keyboard, and a tower, at least. If you’re buying a notebook, all of these are built into one.In general, it’s a good idea to get your harddisks at the same time since you’ll need them to quickly and effectively save your data.You’ll also need to consider:A sound card, to listen to music, use Skype, and eve n watch films.A specific monitor with/without a built-in webcam.A card readerA CD/DVD writer.Accessories: Keyboard, Mouse, SpeakersThere are other accessories you might need to consider buying for your computer such as:Bluetooth keyboard, if you’re going to do away with cables and wires.Wireless, wired, or gaming mice, depending on your needs.A power cable.If you’re making videos or if you like watching series and films on your computer, a good set of speakers might be a must.For more info about computers, check out our complete computer guide  and if you're undecided between a Mac or a Windows computer, have a look at our guide.Other IT EquipmentSometimes there’s equipment that you wouldn’t typically think of:A photocopierA printerA scannerThese items can be useful. Of course, these are an ongoing investment as you have to buy ink cartridges and paper. A household could spend around £100 a year on them.Of course, you can also pay for an extended warranty in a lot of places that can set you back about £40.Choosing IT EquipmentThe IT equipment you choose depends on a number of factors including your needs, what’s available, and your budget. Here’s some useful advice for those choosing what to buy.A computer for work doesn't need to be the same as a computer for personal use. (Source: StartupStockPhotos)Define Your NeedsThere are a number of reasons for buying computer systems:Research and studyWork or managing a businessUsing social mediaFor fun and gamingTypical IT functionality like word-processingTo improve staff productivityThere are many different PC brands and some have a better reputation than others. A lot of people know that computers running Microsoft Windows are usually better for playing online but Apple is famous for graphic design. If you travel a lot, you might want to take a lightweight MacBook over an Asus laptop, for example. The most common laptop brands include:AsusDellHPLenovoAcerMacThe two main OS you can buy are Apple or Mic rosoft, check our comparative guide. You can also see if you need a PC or a laptop.Work Out the Pros of Each DeviceThe goal, when choosing computer components, is to find the best value for money. If you use your computer every day, you might want to favour quality components. On the other hand, if you rarely use your computer, it’s not worthwhile spending a fortune on it.For example, computers for professional use won’t be of the same quality (or price) as those for personal use. This is normal because professionals demand more!For example, if you want to play games online, you’ll want to focus on the processor (dual core or quad core?) and graphics cards: you’ll want something like a 1.7GHz Intel Core i7 (or an Intel Core i5, at least). In terms of graphics, you probably will want at least 4gb of RAM. Of course, you’ll want at least a Full HD screen, too.Making Your ChoiceThere are three main criteria when choosing IT equipment:Performance needsDevice storage capacitiesB udgetYou can compare different models and prices online. Some brands and stores also offer promotions when buying PCs, such as including Microsoft Office for free. There’s always a way to save a few quid.Given that I work from home, I have to make my decisions mainly based on performance and my needs. It’s important that to be able to replace any component as my needs change. I also need a resistant, portable, and reliable computer that won’t constantly crash. While I use a PC, there are a number of Apple products that have caught my eye as a replacement.Some people find the MacBook Pro quite heavy and can sometimes take its time when opening programmes. I would personally opt for a second-hand MacBook Air. You can get older models for half the average price. They’re also very light and easy to transport.Professional Budgets v. Personal BudgetsFor professionals, IT systems are a work tool. According to a URSSAF study, 97% of self-employed workers have a computer and 54% of t hem have both a desktop PC and a laptop. That means that the two are used in complementary ways.If you work from home, you may need one or several computers. (Source: Free-Photos)Of course, you may need cloud storage (with some services offering up to 1Tb of storage). Computers for professionals range between £500 and £2,000 on average.Buying a computer for yourself is different from buying one for a business. If you only need a computer to do PowerPoint presentations, you can get very affordable entry-level laptops. If you need specific programmes like iMovie on the MacBook Pro, you’ll probably need to spend a bit more.You also need to choose components based on your needs. It’s probably not worthwhile investing in a photocopier if you have one at work. An individual will usually spend between £200 and £1,500 on their computer.On average, an individual can expect to spend a few hundred pounds on computers. How much are you willing to spend?If you are new to computers, you m ight want to consider taking computer courses so you have a better idea of how you are going  to use your computer - that way you will know what you need when buying your computer.The Average Costs of IT ComponentsIt’s difficult to put together an exhaustive list of IT components and their price given how many brands and formats there are. We’ve got a few average prices for you. We need to take the main purchases into consideration:LaptopsPCs with a screen, keyboard, tower, and mouseAccessories like speakersBasic printers. You should check out the official websites and get reconditioned and refurbished models from the manufacturer without having to buy from private sellers.Your budget is definitely not going to be pennies. (Source: 127071)You also need to consider repair costs. On average, someone changes their computer four times throughout their life. However, in some cases, you have to get them repaired. You might need to:Repair a hard driveRestore lost dataReplace a broken m onitorReplace a PC caseUpdate antivirus software or firewallPC repairs can cost anywhere between £30 and £150 per hour. That should be enough to make you take care of your hardware.Did you know that Macs are less susceptible to viruses?You should be safer with Apple, then. However, it can cost you much more for repairs and replacing components.There are also all-in-one desktop computers available if you're short on space but don't need to take your computing outside of the house. These can still connect to peripheral devices but come as a single unit.If you're putting together your own computer from scratch, your motherboard (the main circuit board) will be one of your most important decisions as this will define the maximum RAM and CPU speed you can have in your personal computer. It will also define how many ports you have for expansions and other devices. A laptop computer can't install anywhere near as many upgrades as a desktop. In fact, this is why it's more common to have a gaming desktop rather than a laptop as you can futureproof it more easily.For those not particularly familiar with computers, it might be worthwhile investing in tablets as they're far more intuitive and better than a home computer for casually browsing the internet.You should now have a better idea about buying computer equipment for you or your business.
