Just the other day, on NPR I was listening to some local business owners in North Carolina’s rural area complain about their internet connection. They discussed the prolonged amount of time it takes to upload a small video and how this disconnect directly effects their business’s sales. The community, bringing this issue to the attention of their local phone company, requested for more cell towers to be built.
It is a bit of a “he-said she-said game” in the Ellen Pao case against Venture Capital Firm Kleiner – Silicon Valley’s most recent gender discrimination case. Silicon Valley, over the past decade, has become notorious for it’s patriarchal corporate culture, a place where women are constantly at odds with it’s male dominance.
The GMAT is hard, and especially difficult if one is not prepared. Therefore, to be successful it is critical to study and understand how one prepares for such a test. How and what you study will make all the difference. Most importantly, talking to someone who has taken the test can be very beneficial, more so than hiring a tutor or downloading any preparatory program, at first. Ideally they can offer some useful tips before the big day! In the meantime, below are our top ten things to help prepare for the GMAT.
In academic terms, the SAT is generally considered the milestone of tests, something that demonstrates success, intelligence and resilience. It is an exam that demonstrates you've reach the end of an era - out of adolescence and into adulthood. Often deemed as one of the most important education qualifiers in one's academic lifetime; apart from all those other tests one might have to take if choosing to proceed into scholarly territory, but I’ll refrain from digression. If a student makes a decision to continue onto college, post high school, they will inevitably be met with standardized test hurdles. Since there is no way around them other than through, well, if you can't beat them join them, right? And by joining we mean being readily prepared so that the “hurdle” is not a struggle, but rather a well met challenge you can plow through to obtain the academic career of your dreams. From college choice to scholarship money, have the SATs work to your advantage
Every time you take the LSAT, scores are averaged. Therefore, if you do mediocre the first time and terribly bad the second round, due to some unforeseen circumstance (i.e. you woke up and the depressed cat had taken it's life via asphyxiation in a bowl of milk), you might never forgive yourself for retaking the exam. Ideally, you take the LSAT once and call it a day. Not only would it work to your disadvantage if the second score was lower than the previous, but studies have shown that many people who do retake the exam only score, on average, a two-point difference. Two points is not worth more time, more stress, more money. Taking it once will save sanity and integrity in the long-run. Below are five tips to prepare you for taking the LSAT only once.
So you waited until the last minute to prepare for the SAT and now you are in a time crunch. It is only a couple weeks away and between soccer practice, theater, friends and homework you only foresee a few open days to actually get some study time in. Don't fear, it happens to many students. The most important thing to do is stay calm and buckle down now. Below you will find 10 critical things to start accomplishing TODAY to begin preparing for the SAT.
When applying to graduate school, most will be confronted with the looming doom of the GRE. Although the company that creates the GRE states it tests more on practical skill and decision making than on expertise and information retention, 99% of us who attempt the exam with little or no preparation, will experience intense failure. Why? It isn't necessarily because of intelligence, but more a lack of familiarity when it comes to test taking abilities, particularly standardized tests. Therefore, studying for the GRE is in many ways mandatory to condition both mind and body in acclimating for the very specific testing format.
The history of standardized testing is long, redundant and involves many revisions. Today the two main college entrance exams required by most undergraduate programs are the SAT and ACT – both of which have had their acronyms redefined in more recent years, representing the ongoing struggle to keep the test's content relevant and applicable to current times. Before going into the future of the SAT, I would like to discuss the tedious, circuitous, somewhat uninteresting past of standardized tests in the effort provide a more critical lens in determining how college entrance exams either will or won't prevail in the future.
Living with an unwanted memory on the skin, whether it be on the face, belly or somewhere else, can be difficult for many reasons. While scars and stretch marks are markers of our lives histories, most would prefer to not go around wearing them on their body. While there are numerous options for scar removal, most are time consuming, require high overhead and invasive to both the body and health, using chemicals or steroids.

With the chaotic amount of skin care companies toting the benefits of one product over another, it can become quite a tiring charade when shopping for quality skin cream. What can help in the decision making process is to know what ingredients are truly needed and which ones are unnecessary additives, to weed out those not worth the investment. Being an educated consumer can not only help with selecting a product that is more nurturing for the skin, but it can also give the consumer more “bang for his/her buck” in the long run. Investing in skin creams that are densely packed with nutrient rich ingredients verses ingredients of lower quality, will yield in beneficial results faster, creating a more satisfied customer sooner. Reduce wrinkles now and prevent future aging by considering these ten critical ingredients when purchasing your skin care products.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is produced naturally in the body, and varies in production with age. Produced in the anterior pituitary gland, it is essential for maintaining most involuntary body functions that are commonly taken for granted. Some of the most important functions it plays a role in include – metabolism, body mass, bone density, and overall growth.

IT specialists are generally filling up their days providing services, deploying equipment, fixing hardware and software kinks, and of course coding. However, just because one is a “Specialist” does not make them a “Consultant”. While a specialist might be able to work at length on one project or assignment until feeling sufficiently complete, a consultant has to be more agile in juggling clients and challenges.
Just because someone might be an engineer for Google, or a UX Designer for Apple, doesn’t mean their interests and hobbies end there, although while working 80 hours per week for said company may make exploring other activities and passions difficult. So what happens when engineers leave large companies, such as Apple, to spearhead their own initiative, utilizing all they had learned from the multinational technology company?
