How To Cook with Only a Microwave

How To Cook with Only a Microwave Photo by uggboy For lunch try a meat and cheese quesadilla. You can thaw out some frozen chicken or beef in the microwave first and place it in between two tortillas with some cheese and seasoning. Microwave for about 45 seconds, or until cheese is melted to your preference. Take out and server with salsa and sour cream and voilà your appetite is curved. When dinner time comes around, try making a baked potato with a side of glazed carrots. Wrap a damp paper towel around a baked potato and then wrap cling wrap around that. Put the potato in the microwave for four minutes. Check with a fork to see if it is done, if not continuing cooking at one minute intervals. For glazed carrots, add carrots, brown sugar, butter, and orange marmalade to a microwavable safe bowl and cook on high for three minutes. As for everyone’s favorite meal, dessert, try cake in a mug. You can easily make an egg free cake in a coffee mug by combing ¼ cup of sugar, ¼ cup of flour, 2 tbsp of cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, 2 tbsp. of olive oil, and 3 tbsp. of water. Mix all ingredients and cook for about 1 minute and 45 seconds and then enjoy.

11 tips for a successful teacher phone interview

11 tips for a successful teacher phone interview You might have noticed that a lot of the teaching opportunities on the Teach Away job board require candidates to participate in a pre-screening interview. Psst: Before you can ace your phone interview, you actually have to get the phone interview. Check out these posts for tips on getting your teach abroad job application in shipshape: Why you need to complete your teacher profile Tips for taking a great profile picture These interviews usually take place over the phone and provide the opportunity for you to be matched with a Placement Coordinator (go check out our recruiter team if you’d like to put a face to the name!), who will help you move forward with the application process. In other words, being able to successfully pass a telephone interview is key to getting a teaching job abroad with programs and school that we’re currently hiring for, like the Explore Program in China and Abu Dhabi Public Schools and UAE Government Schools in the Middle East. Here’s our advice to help you nail your next teacher phone interview: 1. Set aside time and space. Book some time out of your day for the interview. Take the call in a quiet location that’s private and comfortable, avoiding interruptions or noise interference. The grocery store, coffee shop, your classroom or your car are not good places to take a phone interview. Ensure that your line has a clear connection and provide a landline number if possible. Each of these steps will ensure the interviewer can properly hear and understand you, showing that you’re taking the process seriously and will also allow you to focus on being the best you can in the interview. 2. Be ready for the phone call. Missing a call for a phone interview is just like missing any formal appointment. It may not spell the end for your job chances, but if the employer has a long list of applicants to speak to, they may not have time to try again, especially if they’re calling from another time zone. Set an alarm and write it in your calendar to remind you of the time and date. Put your phone on a loud ringtone, and keep it in front of you well in advance of the scheduled interview time. 3. Take any phone call from a potential employer or recruiter just as seriously as an in-person opportunity. You might be surprised, but there are a lot of candidates who drop the ball on their pre-screening interviews by failing to recognize the significance of the call. We hear from a lot of candidates requesting rescheduled interviews and cancellations and from those who simply are not prepared for their phone interview because they don’t view it as a very important step in the process. 4. Have quick access to key resources. Before your phone interview begins, make sure you have quick access to your resume, application and the job description. You don’t want to have to flip through papers or search online during the interview. Considering there’s a good chance you’ve applied for more than one teaching job, having the job description handy and reviewing it before the call will remind you which placement exactly you will be speaking about. 5. Answer thoroughly. Always think before you answer and take your time. Listen to what the interviewer is asking you and answer relevantly. Even though your phone interview may seem more casual, interviewers will still be expecting quality answers that show off your skills. One-sentence answers do not explain the complexity of what you achieve with your students on a day-to-day basis. Make sure you prepare typical interview answers in advance and detail solid examples of when you’ve put your methods into practice. 6. Language and voice matter. In-person interviews allow you to play to your body language, facial expressions, and demeanour, but telephone interviews rely almost solely on language and voice. Speak at an easy-to-follow cadence - don’t speak too quickly. Make sure your voice is clear. Use positive language in your responses. Maintain proper professionalism and a broad vocabulary, but avoid using words you don’t fully understand. 7. Eliminate distractions. As well as ensuring your physical space is prepared for the interview, make sure you adjust your phone settings to avoid unwanted interruptions. Silence call waiting features and make sure your phone isn’t receiving distracting notifications during the interview. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. 8. Take advantage of the phone format. During phone interviews, you’re free to have some key points and examples jotted down in a notebook in front of you. Avoid reading directly from notes because it will become obvious to the interviewer. Brief pointers to ideas and examples that can be built upon are most useful in guiding you to phone interview success. 9. Smile. Studies have shown that body language can be used to impress during face-to-face interviews. During a phone interview, this is one less thing to have to worry about, but remember that the only tool you have to express yourself is your tone of voice and what you say. Maintain professionalism while portraying your manner as pleasant, upbeat and enthusiastic, just as you would in front of your class. To help you do this, make sure to smile - it will come through in your voice. 10. Update your LinkedIn profile. If you’re a LinkedIn user, make sure your profile is up to date and matching the info on your resume (and if you’re not a LinkedIn user, here’s how and why teachers should be on LinkedIn). This is likely the first place interviewers will seek information on the web from outside of the Teach Away site. Having a complete LinkedIn profile with projects and recommendations can be a powerful tool during your interview. If the interviewer has web access, you can guide them straight to your projects and references on LinkedIn as part of your answer. 11. Listen. Like in in-person interviews, it’s important to not only provide good information, but also to be a sponge - absorb all you can because this information could be vital later in the interview or in future aspects of the hiring process. Without the advantage of being in the same physical space as your interviewer, and with the potential to be distracted, active listening during phone interviews takes a little extra focus Need more info on how to ace your interview?

When you’re done, don’t forget to check out our teach abroad interview tips and tricks, including some great dos and don’ts!

How to Make Sure Youre Ready to Move Out in 2017

How to Make Sure You're Ready to Move Out in 2017 Image via Pexels It’s time to move up and out of your parent’s house, I mean. “Adulting” has become a thing now in our culture but the idea behind it kind of reflects the way in which millennials are when they reach their late teens and early twenties. Kelly Williams Brown, author of the book by the same title, describes this term as the process of moving out and beginning to do serious things on your own as a young adult. To be fair, “adulting” comes with its perks and pains. There is more than one brilliant reason you could give for staying around your parent’s house or with other family members especially during your first year or two out of college. In fact, UT Austin professor Karen Fingerman and UPenn professor Frank Furstenberg say the following in Bella DePaulo’s book, How We Live Now. “In 1986, about half of parents reported that they had spoken with a grown child in the past week. In 2008, 87 percent said they had. In 1988, less than half of parents gave advice to a grown child in the past month, and fewer than one in three had provided any hands-on help. Recent data show that nearly 90 percent of parents give advice and 70 percent provide some type of practical assistance.” Maybe you can find yourself in this information. However, whether it is verbally expressed or not, there is a feeling deep down that parents and young adults have where they want to create space in their lives and for one reason or another, live independently of each other. I know it is that way with my folks and me. That’s not a bad thing, though. It is really a natural part of most cultures. When it comes to leaving home, millennials seem to need an extra hand so here are some tips on how to make sure you form those wings and move up and out in 2017. Actively Search For A Job You may already have a job that you may not like because it doesn’t pay enough to cover your hopefully not extravagant lifestyle. Or you may be at home with mom and dad because you haven’t been able to find a job yet. Some reports say the labor market is bad while others claim it is touch and go and will stabilize in the coming months. I tend to lean to the latter claim. From my own job searches, I have found that there are jobs out there. Just do a search on Indeed.com or any other job sites and it will reveal thousands of job positions waiting to be filled. In just the last two months, I have submitted over 200 job applications in my current city and in the city I plan to move to and I have received six offers already. Whether I take them or not, is another matter, but the point is if you are willing to aggressively look for work and put in professional applications and resumes, it may take several months and hundreds of applications, but you will receive some offers and interviews. Just keep at it. Another thing too is that you may not get your dream job right off the bat. You may have to start with something that you do not like as much in order to get to where you have to go. When you’re young, you need experience and any experience is good experience and it is something that you can place on your resume. Whatever you do, know that you must work and have solid income. Set A Date And Stick To It Unless your parents hate your guts, they’ll probably make all kinds of excuses as to why you should or could stay. “You’re leaving so soon.” “I don’t think you’re ready yet.” “Why so far away?” “I can remake your room for you.” And any number of quirky statements some parents make to get their kids to stay home. Don’t believe this stuff. Once you have decided it is time to move out, set a date and stick to it. Do give them enough advance notice before you make your exit. But like counting down 25 days until Christmas, count down the days until you move out. If your parents are financially able, you may feel comfortable asking them for a short-term loan. Remember, it is a loan. I know they’re your parents, but be responsible and pay it back. Figure out ahead of time how much you will need to have in hand for your apartment, renters insurance, furniture costs, and then basic things like utilities, food, and fuel. It is best to have the funds for this up-front so you can feel secure in moving out and it might also set your parents at ease too. Prepare To Be Responsible Enough said here. Responsibility seems like a dirty word, but it is really not. It is actually a golden key to freedom and opportunity. It is a reality check that causes you to identify yourself in different ways. If you’re used to seeing yourself as a spendthrift, being on your own will teach you to start seeing yourself as a saver and acting like it. Living on your own will teach you how to be more responsible. Responsibility includes managing a house or apartment of your own, keeping up with the bills, preparing and maintaining a budget, creating an emergency fund, taking care of debt, and being on time for work. It also means creating margins for yourself where you don’t kill yourself trying to keep up with everything you have, but you allow space for rest, doing fun things, and hanging out with friends. Living on your own   away from mom and dad and the headaches that brings sometimes can be one of the wisest, bravest decisions you can make for yourself. The key is to be ready and then to gracefully and determinedly make the move.

What Does Solute Mean in Chemistry?

What Does Solute Mean in Chemistry?If you are a science fiction fan, then you might be interested in reading what does solute mean in chemistry. This type of book is very popular among teenagers, as it gives them the chance to learn about different types of molecules and how they function.Solute is a compound that has one 's'l' in it. For example, carbon dioxide is a solute, while hydrogen is a molecule that is not a solute. Sometimes there are no 's'l' in the structure of a molecule, or sometimes the word 'solute' has an added value. In this case, 'S 'L' is replaced with a 's 'l' in the structure of the molecule.An example of a solute is sodium chloride. This is a highly acidic solution, and is commonly used in disinfectants, laundry detergents, and salt substitutes. Sodium is a solute and is rarely used in humans because it has been shown to be toxic.The phrase how does solute spell solute was popularized by the two main characters in the 1950's TV series MASH. The show was set in 1947, and it featured David Duchovny, who was married to Katharine Hepburn at the time, is playing the part of a hapless surgeon named Dr. Frank Burns.Dr. Frank Burns was always seeking out interesting new ways to use the medical treatments of the 1950's, as they were beginning to help patients who were dying of disease. One of the things he did was try to find a way to develop a better way to disinfect the surgical instruments of the day.When it came to the subject of 'dissolving instruments', Dr. Frank Burns decided to try to make a solution that would dissolve human patients. He found a solution in which he mixed sulfuric acid with hydrogen sulfide, but, in fact, the product was a highly corrosive liquid that left no chance for any health problems.It was then that he decided to make his MASH character more dangerous. With the scientific discoveries of the 1950's, Dr. Frank Burns began to incorporate toxins into his plots.

How to Prep for Regents Exams

How to Prep for Regents Exams Nearly all public high schools in New York State require their students to pass some number of Regents Exams in order to graduate with a Regents Diploma. By examining competency in the areas of English, math, science, and social studies, Regents Exams test student readiness for post-high school education, as well as provide measures upon which to gauge school district and teacher efficacy. Regents Exams are usually administered to students after completion of coursework corresponding to the tested material; for example, the geometry exam would be given to students who have completed or who are about to complete a high school geometry course. Many students find that they need to review relevant material prior to taking a Regents Exam. If you are getting ready to take one of these important exams, consider using these guidelines as you prepare for test day: 1. Take a practice test to assess your strengths and weaknesses The New York State Education Department posts past official Regents Exams on its website, and these serve as fantastic diagnostic tools for prospective test-takers. Before you begin reviewing, take the time to take one of these past tests to find out on which topics you should most concentrate your studying. Also pay attention to other issues that you may have to address as you prepare, such as being comfortable with all question formats and effectively using your time. You may wish to look into Regents tutoringas well. 2. Select and review relevant course material Chances are that you wont have enough time to review every topic you learned over the course of a year in preparation for your Regents Exam. Instead, you must choose the topics on which you wish to focus wisely. Use your diagnostic exam as a guide to decide upon which topics are worthy of thorough review and which you have already mastered. Make a list of topics you must review and plot out how you will allot your study time up until the exam. Remember to avoid cramming too many topics into short periods of time; each topic should get an amount of time proportional to both its weight on the test and its complexity. 3. Familiarize yourself with the question types Youve surely heard that practice makes perfect, and in the world of Regents Exams, this adage remains true. Regents Exams consist of both multiple-choice questions and those where you need to provide a written answer, all of which you must know how to tackle by test day. Supplement your content review by consistently completing all formats of Regents Exams questions. Make sure you take the time to go over your completed questions, comparing your answers to answer keys and making careful note of any information you did not know or omitted. Use the accuracy of your answers to gauge how your content review is going and adjust your study habits if needed. 4. Take a fewmore practice tests to identify any test-taking weaknesses or topics you may have missed Comprehensive practice tests should be the cornerstone guiding your test prep, as they can help you identify any global test-taking issues you might be having. Taking them periodically throughout your preparation can help you improve issues like difficulty managing time, test anxiety, and endurance problems, all to help you become a more effective test-taker. In addition, taking full tests can help you identify if youre missing any topics in your studying or if youre delving too deeply into certain topics. Full-length practice tests are perhaps the best way to assess your progress and to guide changes to study content and practices. Any topics you want to know more about? Let us know!
