You oughta know Questions about class plans Nehalita asked about class plans, and I promised to get back to her on that. Class plans are mostly useful for people who are interested in double-majors, if only because its a little more logistically difficult to fit in the extra classes that you need to take outside the General Institute Requirements. (If youre only doing one major, its not as difficult you can pretty much plan on taking four classes per term for eight terms and it will almost certainly come out right.) I feel like the purpose of a class plan is really more to decide if a given set of two majors is feasible, rather than setting out a concrete roadmap for the next four years I basically re-made my class plan at least once a semester from the end of freshman year to the end of first term senior year. Incidentally, I dont think you should make a class plan before coming to MIT. You just dont know enough about which classes youll need to take, which classes are more difficult or more easy, which classes are taught by professors you like, and how many units you can take in one semester without breaking your brain. Youre welcome, of course, to sit down with the course catalogue, your intended degree programs and a blank Excel spreadsheet, but I dont know if it will do you any good if you have no information outside the course listing information. The odds are somewhat good that youll just end up perplexed. If you want to soldier on, though, you can just look at the degree requirements for your major(s), then check in the catalogue to see when the various courses are offered. Plan on spending freshman year on the GIRs, dont forget to add in a HASS each term, and try not to schedule more than one lab class in the same term if you can help it (theyre often all offered in the afternoon). Taking more than 66 or 72 units in a term is probably not advisable, and you should try to stick as close to 48 units per term as you can. Questions about orientation Erin asked, The other day you posted the schedule for assigning dorms- I was wondering if you could talk about when we register for classes and plan our schedule. Thanks! I stopped by the Academic Resource Center the other day to ask about this. (The ARC is the office that runs orientation as well as most other first-year programs.) They gave me the schedule, but also mentioned that it will be up here May 1. They also said theyll be mailing it to you around that date. Students going through international orientation will arrive between August 18 and August 20, and the events of international orientation will go from August 21 to August 23. Students doing freshman pre-orientation programs (FPOPs) will arrive between August 20 and August 21, and the events of those programs will be between August 22 and August 26. (There are a lot of different FPOPs, and people tend to really like them. Videos from a few of last years FPOPs is here.) Students and parents arriving for regular orientation will come either August 25 or 26; events for parents go from the 26th through the 28th, while events for students begin the 27th. Im not sure what the timeline is for dorm rush this year maybe one of the UA-connected bloggers could chime in? I guess generally, rush events start around the time freshmen arrive and continue for several days in the evenings. Advanced standing exams will be given on August 28 and 29. Youll probably go through in-house rush and move to your final room on the Friday or Saturday before Registration Day (Tuesday, Sept 5). You will register for classes by meeting with your freshman advisor sometime in the week of Aug 28-Sept 1. Its also a good idea to attend the Core Blitz, an event where professors of common freshman classes stand up and talk about what sorts of students usually take their respective classes. Core Blitz will be held before you meet with your advisor to pick classes. Questions about dorms On my marathon tour of MacGregor, anonymous asked Really appreciate it.would you do the same fot other dormitories?? it is an extremely helpful jobpleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase :D Um, I dont know all that stuff about other dorms. Anyway, the entry has been edited to reflect the fact that the other bloggers are doing entries on other dorms, so look for those within the coming days and weeks. Alyssa asked Hi! At CPW, some students in Macgregor were telling me that a lot of times the suites will taking hiking trips together and that people in Macgregor are generally very outdoorsy is that true? Also, are you allowed to decorate your room or anything because I personally am not a fan of the 70s decor. :) I dont know that Id say the dorm as a whole is outdoorsy certainly my entry isnt. Theres really quite a bit of variation between each entry in terms of culture. And yes, youre allowed to decorate your room. There are some restrictions placed on all the dorms by Housing, but a) fire safety inspections are only once a year, and b) anything goes outside that checklist. Anonymous commented, I cannot watch the video but I do have Quicktime installed. When I try to watch it, I see a broken Quicktime logo Help Please Can you access any of the videos from the main i3 page? You could also try going back a level and trying to access the video from there. Any luck? Another anonymous commenter asked wow. Macgregor seems to be a nice place to live. Are the dorm rooms generally pretty big? Do you have IHOP once a week? Are there people to clean the bathrooms? No, the rooms in MacGregor arent that big theyre singles! Theyre big enough for one person to live comfortably, but theyre not giant. This is Boston, and living space is at a premium. To answer Christians question (How big are the dorms in MacGregor (dimension-wise)?), the rooms are about 8 feet by 15 feet. EDIT, in response to comment below: We have dorm-wide brunches (made by resident volunteers) on Sundays once or twice a month. (Actually, we had one today, which was confusing because today is Saturday. I was confused.) We do have plenty of free-food events, but I think thats probably true of all the dorms. There is a lot of free food at MIT! Eat it before it goes to waste. In my entry, we have big study breaks orchestrated by our GRT Bryan about twice a month. Most recently, he made brownies for us and went around door-to-door handing them out, and before that, he cooked lasagna for us and we had an entry dinner. And yes, there are people who clean the bathrooms. There are people who clean the bathrooms in all the dorms, with the exception of Simmons, as I understand it they have private or semi-private bathrooms, so they have to clean them themselves. Every other dorm has cleaning staffpersons who clean the bathrooms on a regular basis. Melodie asked So you know how if you want to live in a double, you have to find a roommate before in-house rush (at least according to the Next House website, I think)? Do you have to find a bunch of suitemates if you want to live in MacGregor? Or will you just get randomly assigned to them as a freshman? No, you dont have to find suitemates in MacGregor. All of the suites in the dorm are made up of people from different class years, so usually there are only one or two rooms in each suite that are open to be filled by freshmen upperclassmen pick their rooms for the upcoming year in the spring. If you pick MacGregor and go through in-house rush, youll rank the entries 1-9, and upperclassmen in the dorm will rank all the freshmen (yes, no, no preference). A dorm-wide algorithm maximizes house happiness, and youll be put in an entry. Once youre assigned to an entry, the entry representatives will pick a room for you based on what they know about you. (For example, if they think youll get along really well with another person in the entry, they might make you next-door neighbors.) This all happens the night of in-house rush (the entry representatives and room assignment chairs usually stay up all night), and youll get your final assignment in the morning. Other questions Dan asked Hey Mollie would you say having skills in just math is enough to major in management science? It seems interesting but if someone doesnt have any experience with economics and all that jazz, can they build on just math skills enough to major in management at MIT? Is math even a major part of it? You actually have to take a fair number of math classes to major in management at MIT 6.041 (probability) and 18.06 (linear algebra) in particular are definitely not fluff classes. You are required to take 14.01 (microeconomics) and 14.02 (macroeconomics), so dont worry if you dont have an economics background youll have one when youre done with those classes! Youd have to ask Mitra how much econ background is assumed for 14.01/14.02, but I know a lot of people who have taken and enjoyed those classes (econ is a fairly popular HASS concentration), and I dont think any of them had any background other than a standard high school econ class. You could also shoot your original question over at Matt, who knows way more about course 15 than I do.

Make Your Own Flash Paper (Nitrocellulose)

If youre a chemistry enthusiast with an interest in fire or history (or both), you probably ought to know how to make your own nitrocellulose. Nitrocellulose is also known as guncotton or flashpaper, depending on its intended purpose. Magicians and illusionists use flash paper for a fire special effect. The exact same material is called guncotton and may be used as a propellant for firearms and rockets. Nitrocellulose was used as a film base for movies and x-rays. It may be mixed with acetone to make nitrocellulose lacquer, which was used on automobiles, aircraft, and musical instruments. One unsuccessful use of nitrocellulose was to make faux ivory billiard balls. The camphored nitrocellulose (celluloid) balls would sometimes explode upon impact, producing a sound much like that of a gunshot. As you might imagine, this didnt go over well in gunslinger saloons with pool tables. Its unlikely you will want to make your own exploding billiard balls, but you might want to try nitrocellulose as a model rocket propellant, as flash paper, or as a lacquer base. Nitrocellulose is extremely easy to make, but be sure to read through the instructions carefully before proceeding. As far as safety goes: Any protocol which involves strong acids should be performed by qualified persons wearing proper safety gear. Nitrocellulose cannot be stored for long periods of time, as it gradually decomposes into a flammable powder or goo (which is why many old films have not survived to the present day). Nitrocellulose has a low autoignition temperature, so keep it away from heat or flame (until you are ready to activate it). It does not require oxygen to burn, so once it ignites you cannot put out the fire with water. With all that in mind, heres how you make it. Key Takeaways: Make Nitrocellulose or Flash Paper Nitrocellulose is a highly flammable polymer. It is also known as flash paper, guncotton, or flash string.All you need to do to make nitrocellulose is treat cellulose with nitric acid or any other strong nitrating agent. The cellulose can come from paper, cotton, wood, or other plant matter.Nitrocellulose was first made by Alexander Parkes in 1862. This was the first man-made plastic, which was named Parkesine.While useful as a plastic, nitrocellulose is equally popular for its flammability. Flash paper burns almost instantaneously and leaves no ash residue. Nitrocellulose Materials Christian Friedrich Schà ¶nbeins procedure has been widely used. It calls for 1 part cotton to 15 parts acid. concentrated nitric acidconcentrated sulfuric acidcotton balls (almost pure cellulose) Nitrocellulose Preparation Chill the acids below 0 °C.In a fume hood, mix equal parts nitric and sulfuric acid in a beaker.Drop cotton balls into the acid. You can tamp them down using a glass stirring rod. Dont use metal.Allow the nitration reaction to proceed for about 15 minutes (Schà ¶nbeins time was 2 minutes), then run cold tap water into the beaker to dilute the acid. Allow the water to run for a while.Turn off the water and add a bit of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to the beaker. The sodium bicarbonate will bubble as it neutralizes the acid.Using a glass rod or gloved finger, swirl around the cotton and add more sodium bicarbonate. You can rinse with more water. Continue adding sodium bicarbonate and washing the nitrated cotton until bubbling is no longer observed. Careful removal of the acid will greatly enhance the stability of the nitrocellulose.Rinse the nitrated cellulose with tap water and allow it to dry in a cool location. Shreds of nitrocellulose will burst into flame if exposed to the heat of a burner or a match. It doesnt take much (either heat or nitrocellulose), so dont get carried away! If you want actual flash paper, you can nitrate ordinary paper (which is primarily cellulose) in the same manner as cotton. Chemistry of Making Nitrocellulose Nitrating cellulose proceeds as nitric acid and cellulose react to produce cellulose nitrate and water. 3HNO3 C6H10O5 → C6H7(NO2)3O5 3H2O Sulfuric acid is not required to nitrate the cellulose, but it acts as a catalyst to produce the nitronium ion, NO2. The first order reaction proceeds via electrophilic substitution at the C-OH centers of the cellulose molecules. Sources Braconnot, Henri (1833).

Water and Human Rights by Barbara Johnston - 1006 Words

Barbara Johnston mentions in â€Å"Water and Human Rights† how dams are supposed to regulate water and make water more accessible for humans and their communities and project energy and economic goals. Yet, the building of dams has not done any of those following goals and has showed more of a decline than an increase in those areas (Johnston, 445). In addition, Johnston mentions how 60% of the rivers were dammed making an extreme impact on the extinction of 30% of the worlds freshwater fish (Johnston, 445). Other problems faced due to the dam construction other than extinction of freshwater fish would be the displacement and severe poverty of 80 million people around the world, majority being from indigenous and ethnic minorities (Johnston, 445). Another problem that is brought up by Johnston is the privatization of water and how water should not be privatized. Johnston mentions water is a human right and that when building dams the water is automatically privatized and the p eople who were displaced do not get any of the dam water, the water that they get is contaminated and not healthy for human living (Johnston, 449). This is happening and has happened in numerous countries, the ones that Johnston mentions, China, Turkey, Africa, and Chile, are just a few of them. Johnston agrees that the clean water from dams does some good for people, but the lack of distribution, the displacement, and extinction of animals/fish are negative effects seen when looking at everythingShow MoreRelatedEssay Hydro-Politics Along the Jordan River5715 Words   |  23 PagesHydro-Politics Along the Jordan River One of the most important yet under-appreciated conflicts in the Middle East is over water resources along the Jordan River.

A New Orgnization In Tampa Free Essays

The new organization in Tampa, Florida is very diverse but interrelated medical practice for multiple reasons but mainly through the physicians that have combined to create this practice. The three well-established physicians that combined to form the new organization are an obstetrician, a gynecologist, and an urologist. The relationships that are formed through this group of physicians and staff are important when detailing vertical and horizontal dimensions. We will write a custom essay sample on A New Orgnization In Tampa or any similar topic only for you Order Now The vertical dimensions of this organization would be the upward and downward channels of communication, decision making, and the direction of activities taking place. Employing the appropriate staff for each physician is vital for smooth and accurate business. Staffing must include schedulers, billing department, nursing staff, etc. Having a business manager to keep the business operations and staff organized is vital in the vertical chain of command. In this case, a liaison is appointed to the medical staff that the physicians can depend on to ensure smooth coordination between organizations and within the medical building/hospital. The horizontal dimensions of this organization are in place to keep each specialist a unit in one medical building but also very specific to their different practices. A prime example of horizontal dimension is the obstetrician needing a nurse practitioner specifically in the practice to ensure that the help that is needed is supplied. Combining similar physicians is convenient for their clientele/patients but it is also very important that the division is present so that the organization is in place. Authority and Responsibility relationships that are present in this new organization are obviously apparent through the specialists that are collaborating to form a practice. More specifically, the authority is present within the people that’s main purpose is to give orders and oversee activities. For example, the liaison that tends to the hospital and the physicians as well as the office manager that oversees the staff and business productions. The responsibility side of this organization is entirely up to the office staff as well as the physicians to follow close instructions and show the responsibility that is vital in a successful business operation. In this particular practice, I believe that an organic organization is suitable. Having a few rules and procedures as well as a small number of organizational levels and ranks would be ideal for this new organization. By organizing the office in this way it will give more responsibility to a few people that can work together to keep everything very structured and uncomplicated. By creating a triangle that amplifies the most important roles with responsible supervision I feel that everyone would be held accountable. The differentiations of this organization are the various elements that are present through the roles each person takes. Multiple physicians, the nursing staff, and office staff are all important parts in what the differentials in this organization consist of. Knowing what the responsibilities are and what is expected helps to differentiate positions. Integration within this organization recognizes that there are specialized units that all have to work together in sync to benefit the overall well-being of the practice. The nursing staff must work hand in hand with the physicians to ensure the support is needed to provide the best care. The office and insurance staff must work hand in hand to ensure that the business runs smoothly as well as creates revenue. How to cite A New Orgnization In Tampa, Papers

Egypt and Sumer Civilizations Compare and Contrast free essay sample

Civilizations Two of the greatest civilizations were Egypt and Sumer. Both civilizations had similarities, but also had their differences just like everything in life. They had similar beliefs on gods controlling everything in their lives. Also, these two civilizations were the first ones to make up a writing system. Even though both civilizations were the first, their writing was very different from each other. They had similar hierarchy and both invented important things that benefit us until today. Egypt and Sumerian civilizations had many things in common, but they also had some differences. These are the Similarities of the Egypt and Sumer civilizations. Both civilizations believed in powerful gods. There were an incredible number of Gods and Goddesses in the civilization of Egypt. Gods and Goddesses were superior from everyone else in the civilization. Just like the Egyptian civilization, the Sumer civilizations had Gods and Goddesses above everyone, but also there was the ruling family.

Let’s not forget that even though they were the first ones to make a writing system up, their writings were different. The Egyptian writing was called hieroglyphic and the Sumerian writing was called cuneiform. Hieroglyphic was a more complex writing then the cuneiform writing. Cuneiform was just pictures that represented words. Egyptians wrote on papyrus, like the paper we use today. Unlike the Egyptians the Sumer civilization wrote on clay tablets. Their writings were very different from each other. Egypt and Sumer civilizations invented important things that benefit us in today’s activities. Sumer civilization invented the wheel. Used for transportation and helping them to get places faster. Also, it was used to move heavy things in an easier way. Egypt civilization invented the sailboat. Used for transportation and trading on the Nile River. Without the wheel and sail boat this world wouldn’t be the same. The Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations were both important to our world today. Both civilizations invented great things that benefit us in today’s world. Even if their writings weren’t the same, they were the first civilizations to ever make a writing system. Of course they had their differences, but both of them helped us develop great things today and that’s one of the greatest similarities they have. Egypt and Sumer were not fully similar, but they still helped us in many ways.

Colin Poole Essays - Dustin Hoffman, Theatre, Dorothy, Dorsey, Film

Colin Poole ENGL 217 Paper 2 - Acting The movie Tootsie contains an interesting acting performance with a kind of duality to it. In the film, Dustin Hoffman plays a struggling character actor named Michael Dorsey. Dorsey, a talented actor, is having trouble finding work, as his reputation of being difficult to work with makes it so that no one w ants to hire him. Therefore, so he can find acting work, Dorsey dresses up as a woman, becoming Dorothy Michaels, and quickly becomes a national sensation. Hoffman's performance is quite interesting in the film, as he not only has to play role of Michael Dorsey, but the role of Dorothy Michaels, or more accurately, Dorothy Michaels as played by Michael Dorsey. More interesting are the specific ways in which Hoffman gives you a sense of both characters. Essentially, there are two different characters being portrayed here. In addition to the mannerisms Hoffman adopts to portray Michael , he adopts an entirely new set of mannerisms to portray Dorothy. The w ays in which the two characters contrast, at times very comedically, also serves to give viewers a sense of the characters that Hoffman portrays. Ultimately, Dustin Hoffman's performance gives us a sense of his character through the mannerisms he exhibits for each character, the way they both contrast, and additionally the way Hoffman's characters view themselves. Michael Dorsey is a character that, through Hoffman's performance, we learn quickly is nitpicky, arrogant, and generally challenging and tedious to be around. His body language is often defensive, and he tends to stand and address people in closed off positions, such as with his arms crossed, when speaking. He is quick to get defensive and to lash out at others, and he seems to believe that everyone is wrong except for himself, most of the time. This is highlighted during a heated argument when Michael's manager informs Michael that no one in town wants to work with him because of his reputation, and he responds with a callous wave of the hand, dismissing the charge that this predicament is his own fault. Additionally, he has a keen attention to detail, which we learn not only from his own admission in the film, but from the way we watch him fuss over outfits and wigs used by his alter ego, Dorothy Michaels, and from how he will at times verbally assault others, such as whe n he is showing his friend Sandy how to act angry, to challenge them to do more than they believe they are capable of. Additionally, while preparing to be Dorothy Michaels, Dorsey meticulously shaves his legs, applies make up, and carries out a long and high maintenance routine to make sure that she is convincing to other people. Through these actions, we get a sense of Michael Dorsey's arrogance, commitment to perfection in acting, and some of his other character flaws. This, however, is only half of his performance in the film, and the character of Dorothy Michaels functions as essentially an entirely different character in the film. Dorothy Michaels is a contrast from Michael Dorsey, and a dramatic one at that. We first see Dorothy walking down the street, self-consciously adjusting her outfit and wig to blend in and appear as an actual woman, rather than as Michael Dorsey dres sed in drag. Interestingly, Hoffman's portrayal of a female character in this way is not the stereotypical performance that a viewer would likely initially expect. Dorothy Michaels becomes a character in the movie in her own right, and this is due large in part to Hoffman's nuance in portraying her. Firstly we get a keen sense that even Michael Dorsey seems to view Dorothy Michaels as if she is a separate individual. He has created an entirely back story for her, he is very particularly about what she would wear, the way she would conduct herself, and about the values she's holds. Dorsey holds to this ideal to the point of absurdity at times, at one point kicking his roommate out of their apartment so as not to imply that Dorothy has loose morals, because, as his roommate sums up, she is " not that kind of girl". Additionally, Dorothy

Global Warming Cartoon Essays

Global Warming Cartoon Essays Global Warming Cartoon Paper Global Warming Cartoon Paper Global Warming Cartoon Analysis The man holding the sign cannot conclude the effects of climate change just by looking at the climate over a short time span. One heavy snowstorm is not enough evidence to conclude the effects of climate change. It is saying that scientists trying to prove global warming do not research thoroughly enough and often change their point of view. My reaction to this cartoon is that I disagree with the cartoon that we still do not know the effects of global warming. Numerous scientists have found substantial scientific evidence of the correlation of carbon dioxide and global arming. Although the effects of climate change cannot be concluded with the methods that the man holding the sign used, scientific experiments can use methods that take trends into account, making it much more accurate than just looking at the weather over a short period of time. An NBC article by Linda Carroll cites many credible sources of how human caused global warming is real. By comparing todays climate to another similar ancient event, scientists concluded that global warming is real, and we need to do something about it. :
