The important thing is to let them resonate in your body when you pronounce them. Take a deep breath and make the mantra last until you have no more air in your lungs.  Repeat this exercise two or three times at the start and at the end of a yoga session and focus on one particular chakra.Some sessions will focus solely on resonating the chakras. This is what we call sound yoga and thanks to the vibrations of the vocal cords, the body’s energy will be stimulated. The power, volume, length, and pitch of the sound are what’s important.  The vibrations massage the organs and alleviate tension through breathing.Discover the best yoga classes near me here.Yoga and Chakras: Controlling Breathing and PranayamaControlling your breathing is the basis of yoga. Mastering your breathing is essentia l if you want to have good energy since air oxygenates your organs and your brain.Do the asanas that balance particular chakras.

5 Easy Guitar Licks to Impress Your Friends

5 Easy Guitar Licks to Impress Your Friends Suzy S. Learning a few simple licks is a great way to get started playing the guitar! Even better, some of the most famous riffs in rock and roll are incredibly easy to play. Guitar teacher Matthew K. explains how Anyone can learn the guitar, but it can be frustrating at first. Sore fingers and cramping hands can deter anyone from getting their first song down. This is why I compiled a list of five of my favorite simple guitar licks that sound great, and once you get them down, you can impress your friends and family. A couple of them are only on one string! This will help your dexterity and fuel your confidence to learn more. If you havent learned how to read guitar tabs  yet, take a moment to familiarize yourself. Ill be right here when you get back. Remember, always start slow, and if you cannot get it at first, break it down into sections. Get the first half down, then the second half, and when you are ready, put it together. Lets start with the easiest one first. This is an old stand-by, and the very first song I learned on guitar. 1. Smoke on the Water Deep Purple E|||| B|||| G|||| D|||| A|||| E|-035|-0365|03530| You can start by only using one finger on one string, but when you get that, try it with your index, ring, and pinky fingers.    Use your index finger on the 3, your ring finger on the 5, and pinky on the 6.      Doing so will make the rest of the songs easier. 2. Seven Nation Army The White Stripes Second we will take on a more modern classic riff.  It can be played on only one string.    Just make sure to sure to use your pinky finger to hit the 10th  fret.    Then you can slide your index finger down the neck to play the rest. E|| B|| G|| D|| A|77107532-| E|| Now lets involve the other stings. Take your time with the next three songs. They are broken into sections. If you have trouble. Take it one section at a time. 3. Beat It Michael Jackson E|-|| B|-|| G|0|-0-| D|24200-|2420-| A|-2|-2-| E|-03-|-03-| 4. Sweet Home Alabama Lynyrd Skynyrd E||-||| B|3|-3|3|-| G|2-|-2|2|-| D|000|-0|0|020| A|-|-33|-|0220| E|-||-33-|| Sweet Home Alabama looks tricky, but there is a simple way to play it.    First make the D chord shape, but instead of putting your middle finger on the 2 of the high E string, keep it open like this: D Chord E|0| B|3| G|2| D|| A|| E|| Use that middle finger for the A and low E notes. E||-||| B|3|-3|3|-| G|2-|2|2|-| D|000|-0|0|020| A|-|-33|-|--0220| E|-||-33-|--| In the fourth  section of the lick, you will want to use your index finger to hammer on for every 2nd fret. 5. Day Tripper The Beatles E|| B|| G|| D|20-4-02| A|22-2| E|034-| Day Tripper seems trickier than it is.    For the notes on the second fret, make sure bar your index finger over the A and D strings. Also, use a hammer on for the last note.    When you get that, move the same pattern up to the A string. E|| B|| G|20-4-02| D|22-2| A|034-| E|| The only way to learn is to practice guitar licks daily, and have fun while doing it!

How integrated technology has significantly benefited the education system The development of technology is evolving in the coming years, and technology profoundly affects the future of the educational system. Some experts are against this trend of implementation such as edtech and apps used in school. Mainly because they feel that technology is a source of distraction for students rather than expanding their minds. However, technology-based learning strategies can have ethical practices that facilitate students to learn and expand their ability, performance, and productivity. Technology integration in the education system inspires a different and more simplified approach to teaching methods. Integration of Technology into the Education System Technology makes teaching and learning easy With the help of specific tools like websites, apps, e-books, and virtual tutoring students can learn on their own and still understand at their own pace. This digital material support classroom teaching and introduce more natural teaching methods for every student.

Although the cost of technology is high. Too successfully apply technology into our education system will significantly be worth it. Students that have already been interested and engaged in using techniques have amazing

What is it Like to Attend Old Dominion University

What is it Like to Attend Old Dominion University The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Dexter received his Bachelors degree in Business Management from Old Dominion University. He is currently a tutor in Washington, D.C. specializing in business tutoring, economicstutoring, microeconomicstutoring, and several other subjects. See what he had to say about his experience at Old Dominion University: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. How urban or rural is the campus? Did you feel safe on campus? Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Dexter: Old Dominion University is an urban campus in the heart of the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. It was originally a commuter school for students from the surrounding cities of Hampton, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Portsmouth, but it has grown to be more of an on-campus institution. Most students have a car, but others prefer biking or taking public transportation due to the high number of parks, trails, and sidewalks that make the campus very accessible. Safety was not an issue while I was there as long as you used some common sense and were aware of your surroundings, there weren't any problems. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Dexter: The majority of my professors were available. They posted their office hours so students could reach out to them if extra help was needed. Academic advising was phenomenal, as were the teaching assistants. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Dexter: Dorm life was an experience that I will never forget! Adjusting to having a roommate was a challenge at first, but I made it work. The food options were above average. Since I was only 70 miles from home, I had the advantage of having a good amount of family/friends in the area, so social opportunities were abundant. Concerts, sporting events, and parties were always going on, so I would have to say there was never a dull moment during my years. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Dexter: Engineering and Business were the two most heavily supported and publicized majors at Old Dominion University, and there were numerous activities, socials, and events for those majors to participate in. I was a Business Management major, so the majority of my friends and associates were Business majors as well. The reason I chose Business Management was because in high school I joined a club called Future Business Leaders of America with some friends, and we became really intrigued about learning how the economy, financial system, and corporations function. I felt we were well supported by the university, and I have no complaints. Overall, I feel as though college is what you make of it. I was determined to walk across the stage and better myself for the future. I'm forever grateful for what Old Dominion University did for me, and I'm honored to be a part of the university. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Dexter: Since I was not far from home and played sports my whole life, I was able to connect with people in class and in the on-campus gyms fairly quickly. Most of my long-time friends are from my college years due to the bond we created at Old Dominion University. Greek life was never an interest of mine, but I had friends who participated and enjoyed what they offered. VT: How helpful is the Career Center and other student support services? Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Dexter: The Career Center was great at bringing in top companies, holding resume writing seminars, and ensuring all students were prepared for life after college. VT: How are the various study areas such as libraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Dexter: I have no complaints at all about the libraries, commons, or dorms. All of them had plenty of space, extended hours during peak times (i.e. midterms and finals week), and were very accommodating. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between? To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Dexter: Being 30 minutes from the beach was the #1 bonus about Old Dominion University. Granby Street (in downtown Norfolk) was the most popular hangout spot for Old Dominion University students, but with the densely populated Hampton Roads area, every major road had some type of establishment for students to have fun at. I wanted to get away from campus sometimes, so I would frequent the Virginia Beach/Hampton areas when the opportunity presented itself. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Dexter: During my years, Old Dominion University had roughly 15,000-20,000 students (it is around the 25,000 mark now), and some of the introductory classes were extremely large at certain times of the day. Lectures could easily have 80 to 120 students, and more advanced major courses ranged from 15 to 30 students. Overall, I was pleased with the structure and my class sizes. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one you regret the most. Dexter: My most memorable experience was with my first Economics professor. I was just fascinated that he was so knowledgeable and never read aloud a book, notes, or slides, but would just discuss topics/issues going on in the world off the top of his head and relate them to what we were learning.

In general, if you have to ask how much should I study for the LSAT? the answer maybe that because you are even asking that question, you may not want it bad enough. Study as much as you can, but be smart about it. LSAT Study Tips Download LSAT Prep Tips for Free! LSAT Sections Logic Games Letters are Variables Ignore the games topic and instead focus on relationships between the letters. Easily and Quickly Categorize Quickly place logic games into main categories: linear/sequencing grouping (in-and-out/matching) combinations of the two main types. Focus on LSAT Keywords in set-up and Pay attention to the Rules Ive had to learn this the hard way PAY obsessive attention to detail. Diagram Efficiently Remember economy of motion and thought here: Symbolize the games variables and rules with minimal writing. Create minimum # of diagrams Combine rules early in the game to eliminate some possible scenarios. If you created a diagram previously, reuse it to avoid making new ones. Be Smart with Time Be judicious on whether its worth spending more time on main diagram or on questions. Dont Worry Too Much and Enjoy the Games May the odds be ever in your favor thats right. Have fun with it. As you learn to enjoy the logic games, youll find that you will do better. Logical Reasoning The LSAT Logical Reasoning section aims to test your mastery of well formed sentences, proof, assumptions, and also basic logic. Heres an example of what you might see. This example is from Alice in Wonderland yes, theres some interesting argument and methods of inquiry in that movie: [Y]ou should say what you mean, the March Hare went on. I do, Alice hastily replied; at least â€" at least I mean what I say â€" thats the same thing, you know. Not the same thing a bit! said the Hatter. You might just as well say that I see what I eat is the same thing as I eat what I see! You might just as well say, added the March Hare, that I like what I get is the same thing as I get what I like! You might just as well say, added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep, that I breathe when I sleep is the same thing as I sleep when I breathe!' Are you sufficiently confused? Okay, lets deconstruct the conversation. Mistaken Reversal: x then y versus y then x in I see what I eat versus I eat what I see If/then Structure: If I say it, then I mean it Make sense? Reading Comprehension Here are a few reading comprehension LSAT tips: Identify Viewpoint and their main arguments Then summarize the viewpoints Thats it LSAT FAQ What is the LSAT The LSAT is a half-day, standardized test administered four times each year at designated testing centers throughout the world. The test is an integral part of the law school admission process in the United States, Canada, and a growing number of other countries. It provides a standard measure of acquired reading and verbal reasoning skills that law schools can use as one of several factors in assessing applicants. The test consists of five 35-minute sections of multiple-choice questions. Four of the five sections contribute to the test takers score. These sections include one reading comprehension section, one analytical reasoning section, and two logical reasoning sections. The unscored section, commonly referred to as the variable section, typically is used to pretest new test questions or to preequate new test forms. The placement of this section in the LSAT will vary. The score scale for the LSAT is 120 to 180. A 35-minute writing sample is administered at the end of the test. The writing sample is not scored by LSAC, but copies are sent to all law schools to which you apply. The LSAT is designed to measure skills that are considered essential for success in law school: the reading and comprehension of complex texts with accuracy and insight; the organization and management of information and the ability to draw reasonable inferences from it; the ability to think critically; and the analysis and evaluation of the reasoning and arguments of others.  When Should I Take the LSAT? You should take the LSAT as early as possible before law school application deadlines. In recent years, many law schools have requested that applicants take the test by December for admission in the following falls entering class. If you think you may want to repeat the test after getting your initial score, plan to take the LSAT first in either June or October. How Should I Prepare for the LSAT? The LSAT measures skills and knowledge that develop over a period of time. Thus, you cannot prepare for the test by making a last-minute effort to master specific subject areas. However, persons who have thoroughly familiarized themselves with test directions and questions types, who have practiced on available sample tests, and who have studied information available on test-taking techniques and strategies, may feel more secure on the day of the test. You may also purchase additional nominally priced LSAT preparation materials.

However, scientific research on the brain reveals that  music lessons  can be an excellent way to battle stress, add structure and learn a new skill with  many amazing and surprising benefits at any age. Studies have suggested that not only does learning an instrument strengthen memory and reading skills, performing in a community   encourages close communication which can lead to further connections and deeper friendships. These  experiences contribute to our creative thinking and exposure to new things helps us to unlock a different side to ourselves. Whether it's learning piano, violin, cello, flute, oboe, singing, drums or guitar there are so many brilliant music teachers out there looking to inspire their pupils and Tutorfair is the best place to find them!

How to Get Enough Protein Throughout the Day

How to Get Enough Protein Throughout the Day photo via unsplash Greek Yogurt Greek yogurt is one of my personal favorite snacks. Greek yogurt has about 15-20g of protein per serving (depending on the brand) and it is healthier than other yogurts because it does not have as much sugar. It has a thicker texture and may take some getting used to. Try adding healthy toppings such as granola and fruit to your Greek yogurt for better taste. Berries go well with Greek yogurt, including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Use what you like or get creative and try new fruit combinations. Greek yogurt is a great summertime snack. You can have it as a light breakfast before working out, or in between lunch and dinner to hold you over and give you extra protein. You can’t go wrong with Greek yogurt any time of the day and it is a good start to making healthy snack choices. photo via unsplash Peanut Butter/Almond Butter Peanut butter is one of the most common household food items. It is a tasty source of protein and it has about 8 grams per serving. Peanut butter can be used on much more than just sandwiches. You can put it on breakfast items, such as toast, waffles, or pancakes. You can also pair it with any kind of cracker or other salty snacks. Peanut butter is an easy snack to prepare and it is something that college students should always keep in their dorm or apartment. Although peanut butter is the most common nut butter spread, there are other similar alternatives. This can be a beneficial way for people with peanut allergies to get protein. A popular alternative to peanut butter is almond butter. Almond butter does not have quite as much protein as peanut butter, but it makes up for the small difference by providing an excellent source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It has a slightly different taste and it is another healthy option if you are looking to try something new. photo via pexels Protein shake Rather than loading up on snacks with high protein all day, you could drink a protein shake instead. There are a variety of ways to make a protein shake and there are many different flavor options available. You want to start by getting protein powder from a supplement store or retailer. Protein powder can be expensive so deciding which to get ultimately depends on your budget and how much protein per serving you are looking to get. Protein powder usually has between 15 and 30 grams of protein per scoop so it may be worth the cash to give you the extra protein you need. Once you have gotten protein powder, there are a few different ways you can prepare a protein shake. You can simply use protein powder with milk or water, or you can add other ingredients. It is easy to prepare a protein shake with just protein powder and milk (or water) if you have a shaker bottle. A shaker bottle allows you to mix the ingredients simply by shaking the bottle, so you do not need to use a blender. Supplement stores, vitamin shops, and retailers usually sell shaker bottles and they are not too expensive. If you want to add fruit and other nutrients to your protein shake, you can throw your protein powder and ingredients into a blender. You can get frozen fruit, which will stay good for longer than fresh fruit if you plan to make protein shakes regularly. This is another tasty way to get protein. Enjoy a protein shake in the morning, after the gym, or between meals. There are many other protein-filled snacks out there. No matter which you choose to have during the day, getting a sufficient amount of protein is good for your body and helps build muscle. When you are taking a break from studying, try eating foods with protein â€" they will leave you feeling less hungry.

Cute Geometry Area of a Rectangle

Cute Geometry Area of a Rectangle Hi, folks! Last week we let our bunny tell us about the area of a triangle. This Monday we are going to learn a few interesting facts about rectangles. Rectangles come in the shape of four edges with four right angles (360 ° / 4 = 90 °). Did you know that rectangles have  long been considered as a perfect shape for any construction, especially for the religious building. It was the foundation of classical Greek temples and many of the Renaissance buildings. Rectangles are called the safest and the most correct shape among of all geometric shapes. Because of this they are  used in everyday life everywhere in homes, rooms, beds, tables, windows, doors, paintings, books, and many pieces of furniture. Now, how to compute the area of this cute bunny-shaped rectangle?   Just use following formula: S = ab Where: S â€" is the area of the rectangle; a â€" is the length of a short side of the rectangle; b â€" is the length of a long side of the rectangle.
