What we are beginning to see more of, is a full fledged Grand Exchange tutor to help gamers to achieve their goals of becoming rich.Being a grand exchange tutor allows gamers to build up extra levels of proficiency in their additional skills. They can then use these skills in the game.Each individual game will have its own currency called 'All Trade Skill Points'. These points are earned by successful trades in t he game. The more 'all trade skill points' you have the more your in-game character will gain levels.So for example, the Grand Theft Auto game can have up to 80 levels. The player can buy up to 4 additional levels which mean they get more experience to boost their levels. The higher level character has more skills that can be used in the game.Another thing you could do is to turn your character into a guide book, you can then buy a guide book, which gives information about certain games. You can put up to four guides together and then pass them on to other players, who can then use these guides to learn from them.You can also create your own online strategy guide, which can be used to teach others how to play and earn money, without the need to spend any money.

Now hiring Online Tutors for Skooli
Now hiring Online Tutors for Skooli The rapid growth of the online tutoring industry as a whole has provided an entirely new way for teachers to help students learn and to earn some extra money outside of the classroom. As a member of the team at Skooli Online Tutoring, Iâve seen firsthand a dramatic increase in the amount of tutoring happening on our site. Whether itâs during the evenings, weekends, or convenient time slots for teachers in overseas time zones, the total number or tutoring hours is up across the board and around the clock. In recent weeks and months, Skooli has set records for our all-time most tutoring hours conducted in a week, most tutoring hours conducted in a month, and weekly and monthly student sign-ups. Weâve seen hundreds of teachers join Skooli, complete their first tutoring session, and start earning for their time in the digital classroom. Itâs the perfect time for teachers to get online and explore new opportunities teaching in the digital classroom. The following, borrowed from Revolutionizing Education: The Virtual Future of Learning, offers some context as to why weâre seeing such growth - at Skooli and across the entire online tutoring marketplace: In the US, online tutoring is a $132 million market and is continuing to grow at an annual rate of 6%. Education and ed-tech initiatives in America are being funded by very wealthy individuals, such as Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Gates at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Schools are, for the first time, composed of students who are ready to move to learning in a digital-first environment. This school year, only 12th grade students are still 90s babies. Students in kindergarten through 11th grade were all born on this side of the new millennium. Teachers are turning to virtual learning communities, such as Personal Learning Networks, Personal Communities, and Communities of Practice to bridge distances and interact with other educators who they would previously never speak with. These communities allow teachers to share ideas and resources with one another, producing faster adoption of new methods and technologies by teachers across the country. With such rapid development happening, there is always ample space for qualified and passionate educators to join online tutoring platforms. Weâre constantly sourcing, screening, and adding licensed teachers and masterâs degree holders to the Skooli website. After this, our tutors are able to start confirming session requests, hosting tutoring sessions, receiving ratings and reviews, and collecting payouts. In fact, weâre growing so quickly that weâre currently working with Teach Away to find university-level computer literacy tutors. If youâre interested in earning extra money with your computer skills, you can apply using your Teach Away profile. For more about this position with Skooli and to apply, check out the posting on the Teach Away job board. The uptick in learning happening on Skooli has allowed us to gain some new insight on student needs as well. Below are some of the tutors we have the highest demand for. If you feel like you fit the bill for one of these or simply want to learn more, come visit us at Skooli.com.

New research finds that Good-looking pupils get better grades - Tutor Hunt Blog
New research finds that Good-looking pupils get better grades New research finds that `Good-looking` pupils get better grades New research finds that `Good-looking` pupils get better gradesSchoolsWould you rather be good looking or intelligent? This is the kind of question, facile though it may be, that is guaranteed to engender a friendly debate amongst a group of friends. The last time I (reluctantly) took part in a discussion of this subject, I recall being somewhat dismayed at the responses given by my friends. With most of the group being in their late 30`s or early 40`s, I assumed that we were all far too sober and sensible to be chasing dreams of an eternal youth, and everyone would certainly opt for an increase in intellect. I was however completely mistaken: the vast majority of my friends, who were on that evening both male and female in equal number, answered that they would choose to be good looking over intelligent. Most explained that they believed attractive people had more opportunities in life - that they were more likely to be promoted at work, and that their social lives were simply better, and that many people judged good looking people to be more intelligent anyway! While this might sound like a naive philosophy, there happens to be an abundance of supporting evidence. An extensive study conducted by the University of St Andrews clearly showed that test subjects rated attractive people as being more intelligent. Sean Talamas, a researcher at the university who devised the test, created a set of hundreds of `standardised` faces, and then asked participants to rate them according to their attractiveness and intelligence. The results showed a clear correlation: the more good looking someone was, the higher intelligence rating they received. I`ve heard that similar tests have been conducted in other countries, with the same results; and though it`s somewhat relieving that such vain judgement is not a sole characteristic of this country, it is equally dismaying that, as a species, we place such a high value on ascetic beauty. Is it characteristic of the times we live in, that we care so much for the surface, and so little for the substance beneath? Our culture certainly does seem to place an egregiously high value on youth and beauty, be it with the impossibly thin and glamorous models adorning the covers of so many magazines and billboards, to the endless TV shows about physical make overs and plastic surgery. It may be that, instinctually, we see physical attractiveness as a marker for health and fertility - though this doesn`t explain why we subliminally conflate good looks with intelligence. A new study carried out by Barnard College economist Daniel Hamermesh has recently brought this subject to the forefront of public debate. Mr Hamermesh`s results suggest that good looking children perform better in school than their less attractive peers. His research found that pupils whose looks are `one standard deviation above average` attain almost five extra months of schooling than an `otherwise identical average-looking individual.` In order to conduct the study two separate data sets were consulted, each of which tracked the academic performance of children over a number of years. The UK National Child Development Study (NCDS) was the first, which tracked 17,000 Britons born in a single week of 1958; and an American Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development, incorporating more than 1,300 children aged from just 6 months to 15 years old. These 2 vast data archives contained the academic information, which then had to be correlated with an assessment of each child`s looks. A panel of 10 undergraduates were used as aesthetic judges for the American study, who watched video interviews of each child, giving each a score out of 5. In the UK study the children`s teachers were consulted, who assigned the categories attractive, unattractive, `abnormal feature` or `underfed or scruffy and dirty` to each. One can only wonder if the children`s parents were consulted over this study. The results found a clear correlation: better looking children preformed better academically. In such a simple study a set of control procedures, whose purpose is to minimise the effects of variables other than the two independent variables, are paramount. Mr Hamermesh has stated that accounting for gender, ethnicity, and parents` education and income were taken into consideration in the test. The exact reasons for the results are unclear, but Mr Hamermesh explored a number of theories, finding evidence that teachers have a better relationship with more attractive students; and also found that pupils rated as being less attractive reported more incidents of being bullied, which could certainly lead to a poorer academic performance. Ultimately bi-variable analyses are an extremely simplistic form of statistical testing ; - if there is indeed a link between looks and academic performance, the mechanism behind the correlation remains unknown. 3 months ago0Add a Comment

Tips for Introverts on Dealing With Discrimination at Work During and After a Pregnancy - Introvert Whisperer
Introvert Whisperer / Tips for Introverts on Dealing With Discrimination at Work During and After a Pregnancy - Introvert Whisperer Tips for Introverts on Dealing With Discrimination at Work During and After a Pregnancy Workplace discrimination is an unfortunate reality for some people. Each reason for discrimination is wrong, and one of those reasons is pregnancy. While some employers are helpful and accomodating during an employeeâs pregnancy, others may view this time as a hindrance to an employeeâs performance. There are many ways that a person may feel discriminated against as a result of their pregnancy, but it can be especially difficult for introverts to deal with given the personal nature of pregnancy. In order to deal with issues resulting from pregnancy discrimination, itâs helpful to know your rights and to make your happiness and health a priority. If you are experiencing discrimination, know that there are steps you can take to protect your rights. How You Might Experience Discrimination Related to Pregnancy There are many ways you may experience discrimination during or after pregnancy. This can hinder a personâs place in their company, their employee rights, and their overall happiness. Some examples include: Being denied an area to breastfeed: Despite the many health benefits of breastfeeding, many still discriminate against women who breastfeed their children. Employees have been fired for asking for breaks to feed or pump, denied breaks when leaking milk, or not given a private space to pump. Being punished for time off needed for appointments: Both during pregnancy and after, mothers will need time off to attend mandatory doctorâs appointments. Some employers may punish those who take more time off than the average employee to get to their appointments. Being overlooked for raises and promotions because of maternity leave: Maternity leave is an important time for mothers and their babies, but some employers see this time off as a hindrance and look over capable employees for raises and promotions due to their need for maternity leave. Being discriminated against due to weight: Weight can be a difficult aspect during and after pregnancy. Unfortunately, some employers also discriminate on the basis of BMI, which can lead to fewer opportunities for advancement. Why This Can Be Hard for Introverted Employees Workplace discrimination is hard on any kind of person, and the same is true for introverted employees. Not only does it require you to have difficult conversations, it takes a very intimate and private experience and makes it more public. For introverted employees who often prefer to keep to themselves, this can be especially difficult to maneuver. Itâs helpful to have open and honest discussions with your manager, but discussing conflict can be hard, especially for introverted employees. For that reason, donât be afraid to involve HR to help facilitate these awkward and tense discussions. Knowing Your Rights Knowing your rights is the first step in handling discrimination attached to your pregnancy. An employer canât fire a person based on many things including their race, religion, disability, or their pregnancy, among others. They also canât deny your employment, deny a promotion, cut your pay, or change your benefits based on your pregnancy. If your job is difficult to do because of your pregnancy, your employer needs to accomodate you. You cannot be harassed, you should have all the same rights given to an employee with a temporary disability, and you cannot be punished for filing a complaint about pregnancy discrimination. You should also be given breaks to pump or breastfeed as well as a reasonable location to do it. Each state will also have its own laws about pregnancy discrimination, so make sure you do your research in your state. Youâll also have additional laws under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) that may apply, which is enforced by the Department of Labor. What to Do if You Encounter Discrimination All of these rights are outlined in the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, and if your employer violates any of them, you can file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) â" or the Departmenet of Labor if itâs an FMLA issue. Remember to file within 180 days from the day the discrimination happened. Itâs also important to keep a log of any discriminatory behavior, and to review your employee handbook to understand your employerâs policies. You can also speak with your HR department to attempt to rectify the situation without filing a complaint, or speaking to an EEOC counselor. If you decide to file a complaint, your employer will be notified and the EEOC can either: Settle, or refer you and your employer to a mediator. File a lawsuit if mediation doesnât get anywhere. Dismiss the case and send you a letter that notifies you that you can sue them yourself. Prioritizing Your Health and Happiness You should really be prioritizing your health and happiness during your pregnancy, and if that means not telling your employer about your pregnancy, you have that right. If youâre taking the 12 weeks of maternity leave that youâre entitled to per the FMLA, you should notify your employer at least 30 days before you take it. Otherwise, you donât have to tell them if you can get away with it. In the meantime, focus on ways to stay healthy in your pregnancy. This includes getting good sleep, getting plenty of exercise, drinking water, and allowing yourself to relax. Though it can be hard to focus on reducing stress when your employer is making your pregnancy difficult, remember your wellness is the priority. It can be difficult to maneuver through workplace discrimination because of the sensitive and accusatory nature of it, but itâs important to trust your feelings on how youâre being treated. You have rights, and youâre allowed to bring up the concerns you have that are related to how youâre being treated during this time. Just because youâre pregnant, or postpartum, doesnât mean you arenât just as capable, hardworking, or as deserving as other employees, and you deserve to be treated that way.
