Tips For Finding an Easy Pool Tutor

Tips For Finding an Easy Pool TutorIf you are looking for an easy pool tutor, then you need to take note of these tips. These tips will help you out when you choose your pool tutor. This guide is going to help you find the best pool and why you should choose one.o Pool construction tips: - Don't just hire a trainer that will work on a build to market plan and tell you how to build your pool. You need to make sure that the pool builder is experienced. If they aren't, then it can be a long and frustrating experience. An experienced contractor will be able to handle all the safety concerns as well as all the construction. You don't want to be the owner that has to deal with a builder that doesn't know what he or she is doing.o Pool skims and pool cleaning tips: - A pool must be cleaned at least once a week. This is even more important if you have kids around your pool. The last thing you want is for them to get sick from chlorine. However, you don't want to have to pay for weekly pool c leanings. Don't pay for weekly skimming either.o Pool flooring: - This is probably the most important thing to consider before hiring a pool and it doesn't matter if you have a traditional pool or if you have an Inground pool. If you have a traditional pool, then you should think about getting a nice stone or ceramic tile floor. These are harder to clean than concrete and they are more resistant to bugs and other problems. For Inground pools, you don't have to worry about this part of the pool. However, this can be a great investment if you are going to have a pool for many years.o Pool signs: - These can vary in prices, so you need to find a good pool sign. Keep in mind that not all pool signs are the same. There are some professional signs that can look professional, but some people don't care.o Quality pool tutor: - Finding a quality pool tutor is going to be important. Some people don't care about their pool, so they won't hire one. However, you want someone who is going to care about your pool and you don't want to waste your money. Look for a reputable company to hire a pool training company.These are just a few tips to help you find an easy pool tutor. You may want to try all of them yourself before you hire anyone else.

8tracks The Moodiest Music Site on the Web

8tracks The Moodiest Music Site on the Web Photo from theletter.co.uk Welcome to 8tracks. The self-proclaimed [h]andcrafted internet radio site, named the Best Website of 2011 by Time Magazine,  uses a tagging system for its user-created playlists. When you search for that summer + hipster mix, every playlist that has been tagged with those two words will come up. Each mix has at least 8 tracks to it, but can have many more than that, and will always have a wide variety of music on each.  On 8tracks, users can listen to or create mixes. It is great for sharing mixes with your friends, but also with perfect strangers. If youve created a study mix that works well for you, post it to 8tracks and let it help someone else in their study-stress!  Not in the  mood? Search for an artist or genre and let 8tracks work its magic. Though 8tracks doesnt always offer the perfect selection of music, because, of course, we all have different tastes from one another, its fairly spot on most of the time. My only complaints would be that  as a listener, you cannot skip more than 3 songs per mix in one hour before having to go to the next one and you cannot go back to a song after its played. Some of the mixtape art is a little risqué as well, so in a more professional setting, its hard to find mixes to listen to. Thankfully, there is a setting that you can put on called Safe Browse that will skip over tracks and playlists that are inappropriate. Other great features include the Youtube and iTunes buttons on the bottom of each mix. If youve found a new song that you really like, you can find where to buy it or listen to it again on using these links. Want to take 8tracks on the go? There are free Android  and iPhone  apps available, which have both had recent updates with great reviews. For those of you who are looking for more out of this site (mostly just DJs) there is 8tracks plus. This upgraded version of the site includes an ad-free site and several DJ-focused features that are to be released soon. The cost is $25 for a 6-month subscription and 14-free trial. I wouldnt say its worth it, because unlike  Pandora,  the ads are simply non-audio sidebars, so for a regular listener, the upgraded version does not offer much. Simply listen away with the free version! What moods do you use 8tracks for?

Edukwest Talking with Kirsten Winkler about italki

Edukwest Talking with Kirsten Winkler about italki If you dont know who Kirsten Winkler is, you really should. She is a professional language teacher who has become an expert in the field of online language education. Between her blog and her E-Teachers Academy and conferences, I think there are few people who understand the evolving space of online language education as well as she does. You could say Kirsten is the equivalent of techcrunch for online language learning. One of her main projects is called Edukwest, and she has been interviewing a lot of inspiring people in the online language learning space. She asked to interview us at italki, and we gladly took the opportunity. Heres the direct page to the interview http://www.edukwest.com/kevin-chen-of-italki-com/ And heres that interview embedded (youll need a proxy to view it if youre in China): We covered a lot of topics in the interview, and one thing we hope that is clear is that it is an exciting time to be a startup in this area. The technology and the market is evolving very quickly, and were only just seeing the start of these new and potentially world-changing ideas. I believe everyone shares this core belief that technology can play a critical role in improving the old way of language learning. The impressive thing about Kirsten is that she has actually met and interviewed a lot of these people! Again, if you want to know all the latest news, as well as engage in the latest debates about online language education, read Kirstens blog or follow her on twitter (@kirstenwinkler).

What Its Like Being Happy

What It's Like Being Happy Photo by natalieecollins via Instagram. My friends, family, random acquaintances, and even those I’m not particularly fond of are able to tell. They know that I’m happy. Some of them say that they’re genuinely excited for me, when I know that they’re not. Several seem almost mad about it. That’s jealously and selfishness, and you can’t really expect more from people, I’m afraid. Some could care less. Others seem legitimately pleased and tell me things like “If anyone deserves this, it’s you”, or “I’m so glad things are finally turning around for you”. I like when they’re able to feel happy from my happiness. Genuine happiness can’t be taken away from you either; you can only spread the disease to more and more people. I can’t even begin to describe you what happiness has done for my overall health. My long list of prescriptions is starting to dwindle down; you’re more likely to find me outside in the sun than in bed hiding under my covers; I notice myself being comfortable with complete strangers, and because of this, I’ve made more friends in a few weeks then I did in a whole semester. I’m a more thoughtful and compassionate person, acquaintance, best friend, sister, daughter than usual. Instead of being consumed with my struggles and shortcomings, I try to help others see the brighter side of their own. I’m basically Mother Teresa these days. Your question is probably the same as mine â€"  how the hell did this happen? How can I achieve this blissful emotion you speak of? I wish I knew the answer. Part of me believes in karma, not that I’ve had a particularly tragic life that’s rewarded me with this period of peace. Another part of me thinks that whatever medication I’m on is really working this time. The spiritual side of me has determined that I’ve always been happy, and it just took a bit of digging and uncovering to find it. Whatever the case may be, the whole of me knows that if this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.

5 Ways to Keep Self-Esteem High During Summer School

5 Ways to Keep Self-Esteem High During Summer School Costa Mesa Tutor Tips: 5 Ways to Keep Self-Esteem High During Summer School Many children can benefit from an academically focused summer school program that will make their overall educational experience easier and more productive. Unfortunately, most children dont see summer school as a benefit. Rather, they see it as something they have to do because they didnt receive passing grades during the year. There are several things parents and teachers can do to help younger kids keep their self-esteem high while they attend a summer school program. Of course, every child is unique, and their situations will vary from that of their peers and neighbors, but there are several positive things about summer school in general. 1. Become an expert Kids who fell behind in a difficult subject during the school year may not be feeling great about their abilities to become an expert. However, participating in a summer school program can help kids improve in that same subject during the next school year. Summer school provides an opportunity for kids to focus on just that one subject that gave them trouble so they can overcome any content or study skills issues. Once students have a chance to understand truly whats going on with reading, math, or any other challenging subject their self-esteem is likely to get higher (READ: 10 reasons you need a summer tutor). 2. Leave academic struggles behind In many cases, children attend summer school because they are having some overall academic struggles as opposed to difficulty in a specific subject. If this is the case, the summer school instructor may focus on study skills and organization across all topics. Kids dont get a chance to take a class in study skills but are expected to master these things on their own. This can make it very difficult for kids with any concentration or motivation issue to ace every class. Academic summer programs provide a great opportunity for kids to work with a dedicated teacher and develop some study skills that work for them as an individual. 3. Work with a private Costa Mesa tutor in a one-on-one setting Another thing students can do to help keep their self-esteem high during summer school is to work one-on-one with a private tutor. Many kids struggle with either reading or math and need a little bit of extra help. A private tutor can serve as an excellent supplement to a summer school program because they can provide useful repetition of a challenging subject and introduce new concepts at a pace that works for the student. When a student isnt overly stressed out about a particular subject theyre more likely to feel great about the subject and school in general. 4. Allow time for fun activities Many kids dont like summer school because they think it will take time away from fun activities and time with friends. If a child can benefit from summer school, they should attend, but they should also have plenty of fun activities scheduled, so they dont miss out on some relaxation and outdoor time. If kids know that theyre going to have plenty of time to have fun with friends in the neighborhood they will be more likely to give summer school a chance and concentrate on improving their academic skills. 5. Prevent isolation A lot of the time, students feel isolated if they have to attend summer school. However, there are tons of kids attending summer academic programs these days. With increased competition, many students simply attend summer school to get ahead. They may want to apply for a scholarship later on or participate in academic competitions. If children know that there are tons of students attending summer programs, they are less likely to feel isolated. As long as theyre part of a group, summer school wont seem so bad (READ: 5 Reasons to get an in-home tutor this summer).
