And if your local shop doesn’t have a vegan food section, you might be pleased to hear that there a few hidden treasures among the better known brands that are safe for vegans.Some items aren't specifically targeted at vegans but are suitable for them to eat, like Ritz crackers, for example.

Be prepared to spend a little while browsing and scrutinising labels but it well worth it when you find a gem of a treat tucked away in your local store, that many of your fellow vegans don't even know about. Just like vegetarian items though, most vegan foods will display the vegan mark on their packaging.Like vegetarian goods, vegan food is labelled with the 'V' symbol indicating whether it is suitable for vegans or veggies. Photo credit: Tony Webster on Visualhunt.comThe question is, will you spill the beans and announce to the world what you've found or will you keep it your little secret?Likewise, Lidl don’t have a great range of vegan foods but they do label their foods clearly and are cooperative when you ask them questions in store or by email.Making Your Own Vegan FoodOf course, you don't have to buy already prepared meals.

They are designed to provide students with a holistic educational experience.This school is a standout in academic circles for many reasons, not the least of which is their Melbourne Model educational program, in which discrete, 4-year degree programs were replaced with 3-year, generalised degrees.This course structure, unique in Australia, has faced a significant backlash from academics and students alike. Nevertheless, shaving a year off of nine programmes saves students a substantial amount in tuition and housing fees.The Law College is not among those shortened programmes â€" sorry!Admission there will cost you a little over 20,000AUD per year and, like the previously-mentioned institute, you must be able to prove financial stability as a part of the application process.However, here again, you may apply for a scholarship to ease your financial burden.All other application criteria apply: having attained the equivalent of their Victorian Certificate of Education (your A-Levels), obtaining a student visa and studying full time.If you would like to learn another language at the same time, why not study law in Asia and learn Mandarin or Japanese?The University of Sydney's new law building would make anyone want to attend classes there!

Solving Polynomial Equations

Solving Polynomial Equations Polynomial in math means an equation containing two or more than two term. The word poly means many. Each term can consists of one or more than one unknown variables with different coefficients and constant numbers. Each variable can have different exponent values. The highest exponent is called as the degree of the polynomial. There are various mathematical operations which are used to simplify and solve the given polynomial. Example 1: Simplify the polynomial expression, 5 x4 2 x3 + x2 3 x + 2 when given x = 1. Solution: The above algebraic expression contains variable x with different exponents. Degree of the polynomial is equal to 4. So substituting x = 1 in the place of x in the above polynomial expression, we get 5 (1)4 2 (1)3 + (1)2 3 (1) + 2 5 (1) 2 (1) + (1) 3 (1) + 2; 5 - 2+ 1 - 3 + 2 = 3 The value of the above polynomial expression is 3. Example 2: Simplify the polynomial expression, x5 5 x3 + x2 + 5 x + 1 when given x = -1. Solution: The above algebraic expression contains variable x with different exponents. Degree of the polynomial is equal to 5. So substituting x = -1 in the place of x in the above polynomial expression, we get (-1)5 5 (-1)3 + (-1)2 + 5 (-1) + 1 (-1) + 5 (1) + (1) - (5) + 1; -1 + 5 + 1 - 5 + 1 = 1 The value of the above polynomial expression is 1.

Simple Linear Equations

Simple Linear Equations Linear equations are the equation where the highest degree of the variable is one. Simple linear equations are very commonly used in algebra and many other topics. There are various mathematical operations which are used to simplify the linear equations. In a linear equation there can be more than one variable but the condition is all the variable cannot have degree or power of the exponent more than one. Example 1: Solve for the variable x in the equation 11 x 2 = 20? Solution: Given equation is 11 x 2 = 20. Here the unknown variable which needs to be solved for is x. First step: Adding 2 on both sides of the given equation. (11 x 2) + 2 = 20 + 2. This gives 11 x = 22. Now dividing both sided of the equation by 11. This gives 5 x/ 5 = 30 / 5. This reduces the given equation to x = 6. Hence the solution is x = 6. Example 2: Solve for the variable x in the equation 4 x 3 = 33? Solution: Given equation is 4 x 3 = 33. Here the unknown variable which needs to be solved for is x. First step: Adding 3 on both sides of the given equation. (4 x 3) + 3 = 33 + 3. This gives 4 x = 36. Now dividing both sided of the equation by 4. This gives 4 x/ 4 = 36 / 4. This reduces the given equation to x = 9. Hence the solution is x = 9.

If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.” - Don McCullinNowadays, almost every smartphone is also a great camera that you can use to take some great snaps anywhere, any time.As amateur photography increases, brands have started paying more attention to white balance, luminosity, and even filters. Now they’re almost considered an essential part of every smartphone camera app and are a quick and easy way to improve your photos.So which are the best filters? How can you go from taking photos to taking great photos?Let’s have a quick look at the most common filters.

Sometimes, the colours can cause adverse effects. Filters are easy to apply to photos. (Source: nastya_gepp)Without needing photo editing software, you can use a black and white filter on your digital photos taken with a smartphone. Almost everyone knows this filter, which is why most smartphones offer it as standard.This will change your colour photo into black and white, which can bring the whole thing together. Blurred or oversaturated areas can be reduced and corrected with a black and white filter. It’s like going back to basics.  The advantage of the black and white filter is that it simplifies everything and can increase the depth and contrast of photos.Think about it.Who’s never used the black and white filter on their smartphone?Whether it’s for portraits or landscapes, it’s a useful filter. It’s surprising how much this one little filter can improve a photograph.Sepia FilterThis is far from complex photo editing in Photoshop. This filter can be applied directly to your photograph without too much effort. Similarl y, it comes as standard with most modern smartphones.To give your photo a vintage feel, the sepia filter is ideal. It’ll take all the colours and flatten them into a sepia tone reminiscent of the first every photographs. This amber-coloured effect works similarly to the black and white filter and can reduce certain imperfections. You don’t need Lightroom for this!Of course, you can’t use the sepia filter to change the depth of field, for example, but it can give your photo an old-timey feel.Warm FilterMost modern smartphones will also include warm filters which can go by several names depending on the make and model. Generally, they’ll augment warm colours such as reds, oranges, and yellows. Warm filters will immediately make every photo look sunnier. (Source: laura6)Thus, your entire photo feels warmer or more autumnal. The use of this is down to the user and the impression they want their photo to give. Rather than reduce imperfections, this type of filter can change the mood of a picture. While this used to be something done in a dark room, you can now do it all on your phone.

While some work similarly to the sepia filter, others can add graininess and imperfections to make your photo look like it was taken on an older film camera.Many of these filters and presets can provide results that could take a good amount of time on photo editing software. Whether you’re taking close-ups or photos of landscapes, these filters can provide some interesting results. Instagram was created with vintage filters in mind. (Source: Wokandapix)High Contrast FilterMuch like with vintage filters, there isn’t a single high contrast filter. In this case, we’re talking about filters that boost colours to make them more vibrant.These can be used to focus on certain aspects of the image and can be done across the whole spectrum or just on a single colour. After all, not every device deals with colours in the same way. It’s interesting what you can do with these filters.Both amateurs and professionals can get a lot out of these filters if used correctly and they won’t need to use software like Photoshop. This is a great way to quickly improve photos on your smartphone.Check out these great tips for better smartphone photography.Colour FilterThanks to smartphones, almost anything is possible when it comes to your photos. Many of them include a colour filter which, as its name suggests, allows to you apply a single colour over your entire image.While lim ited in terms of uses, artistically, colour filters can add an interesting aspect to your photography. Most smartphones will provide you with preset colours or the option to apply a custom colour to your whole photo.Be it green, blue, yellow, or brown, you can use these colour filters alongside or in addition to the numerous other filters we’ve discussed. Similarly, you can also alter the intensity of the colour filter.After all, some photos will look really odd with a single colour filter applied to them. That said, a subtle colour filter can enhance certain areas of photos. You can use them, much like the warm and cold filters, to change the mood and feel of your photography.Whether you’re taking selfies, portraits, or pictures of nature, the filters on your smartphones can make your photos even better than they probably already are. There’s a plethora of them and some smartphones even allow you to download extra ones.What better way to get started?While good photos start at the moment you take them, filters can be used in the event something doesn’t go to plan or your photos are lacking a certain something. The filters can make colours pop, heighten important details, or just improve the overall quality of your photography.Of course, the better your photos are when you take them, the less image editing you'll have to do afterwards. While the best photo editing apps and software are powerful tools for retouching photos, removing the odd blemish, or even just altering the brightness, cropping out unwanted elements, or adding effects like tilt-shift, a second of careful thought when taking a picture can save you hours of editing afterwards.Professional photo editing tools can be expensive, too, so unless you're a professional photographer editing photos all the time, you might want to just use overlays like filters to give your photos that wow factor.While the best photo editing software is costly, look for free photo editing software or an online phot o editor that you can use for resizing, cropping, or just adding some basic photo effects. Once you get the hang of these, then you can consider investing in a professional-grade photo editor like the Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Photoshop Express, Photoshop CC, or Photoshop Lightroom.If you'd like more help with photography, there are many talented and experienced tutors on Superprof who'd be willing to help you. There are three main types of tutorial and you can choose the one which best suits your preferred learning style and your budget.Group tutorials tend to be the cheapest and best for those on a budget as all the students in the tutorial are sharing the cost of the tutor's time and expertise. However, this does mean you'll get less one-on-one time with your tutor and the lessons won't be tailored to just you and what you want to learn.Online tutorials tend to be slightly more expensive than group tutorials but are just between you and your tutor. This means you can benefit fr om tailored lessons and learning programmes as well as enjoying the tutor's undivided attention throughout your tutorials. However, without the tutor physically being there with you, it can make certain hands-on aspects of learning a little bit more difficult.Finally, face-to-face tutorials have the benefits of the previous two types of tutorials without the drawbacks of the tutor not being there or there being other students in the tutorial vying for your tutor's attention. If you want to learn with these types of tutorials, however, you will have to pay more than the other two types as you'll be paying for your tutor's expertise, travel costs, and all the time they put in outside of your tutorials to ensure that they're tailored to you and exactly what you want to learn about.Think carefully about which type is best for you and discuss all this with any potential tutors before hiring them!

Ten Awesome Memory Techniques for Standardized Test Taking

Ten Awesome Memory Techniques for Standardized Test Taking Improving Academic Performance Sometimes test preparation requires memorization. For example, the SAT and GRE require building your vocabulary. Here are some tried and true memory techniques. The Roman Technique This technique involves setting what you want to remember to the layout of something you’re very familiar with, like your childhood home or route to school. So imagine, for example, that you want to remember your to-do list. Say your first item was to telephone the GRE board to set your test appointment. You might visualize your front door opening but having tons of phones blocking the passage way. Say your second thing on your to-do list is to buy paper. You could imagine your hallway with paper in the picture frames instead of the portraits that normally went there. The idea is to walk through your home putting what you want to remember along the route. Because our spatial memory is more long term memory versus short term memory, this helps us organize and remember the data. Study in the Same Place Studies have shown that studying in the same place where you take the test helps memory. We know this isn’t possible for the tests like the GRE and SAT. Luckily, just imagining the place you usually study while taking the test can help you remember the material you were studying. Take Frequent Breaks Researcher has shown that you remember the beginning and end of studying the most, so by taking a break every 20 minutes or so there can be multiple beginnings and ends. Chunking Chunking involves lumping things together when you can. For example, is it easier to remember 3-1-7-2-1-4 or think 3/17 and 2/14- St. Patrick’s Day and Valentine’s Day? Practice Retrieving the Memory Recent research has shown people remember things best when they practice retrieving the memory. The retrieval of memory leads to better memorization than focusing on storing the memory. Make the Memory Bizarre It is easier to remember something if you think of something strange. For example, if you want to remember the left anterior descending artery on the heart, you could picture a bunch of young boys (“LAD”s) crawling all around the heart. Use All of Your Senses If you are trying to learn something, bring as many senses into it as you can. How does it look, feel, smell, sound etc.? Focus On What You’re Trying to Learn It takes eight seconds of extreme concentration on average to imprint a memory. Make sure you study somewhere with very little distractions so that you can focus completely on what you are trying to learn. Rhyme Rhyming the information makes it easier to memorize. For example, if you were trying to memorize the definition of alacrity (which is cheerful readiness) you might think: “Someone with alacrity has the capacity to do tasks happily and succeed academically and financially.” Know the Key Points Research has shown that outlining can help a lot with memorization because it boils down the information to key points. It can also be helpful to have an image with the most important points exaggerated or use a different color for the most important points. hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(215486, '6baac2ae-05a3-4610-9d1f-265c8cbd809f', {});
