Understanding base value

Understanding base value The place value helps identifying the digits place in a given number. In a whole number the digit to the extreme right is the ones place. The digit to the right of the ones place in the tens. The digit to the right of the tens place in the hundreds. The digit to the right of the hundreds place in the thousands and so on. While rounding to the nearest whole number if the number to the right of the rounding number is less the 5 round down and if the number is 5 or more round up. Then replace the removed digits by zeroes in the given number. Example 1: Write the place values for the given number 63,125? Solution: Here the number 63,125 has 5 digits. The digit in the ones place value is 5. The digit in the tens place value is 2. The digit in the hundreds place value is 1. The digit in the thousands place value is 3. The digit in the ten thousands place value is 6. Question: Multiple choice question (Pick the correct option.) What is 234 rounded to nearest tens place? a) 230 b) 240 c) 235 d) None of these. Correct answer: option a. The number in the tens place is 3 in 234. The number to the right of the tens place is 4 which is lesser than 5. The number is rounded down. Replace all the numbers to the right of tens by zeroes. Hence rounding the number is 230.

Spanish Vocabulary When to Use Usted vs. Tú Explained

Spanish Vocabulary When to Use Usted vs. Tú Explained Suzy S. Every language has its own intricacies that take time and practice to master. In this article, well discuss the distinction between the formal and informal use of the word you in Spanish. But first, heres a quick summary of the difference between  tú and usted. Usted  vs.  Tú  Whats the Difference? Tú  in Spanish is ‘you’ in English but what about usted? In English, theres not a great translation for  usted. So what exactly  does it mean? In English, when we want to convey respect to someone, we use formal and polite language, such as ‘sir’ and ‘madam,’ and refer to people in authority positions with their titles, such as ‘doctor,’ or ‘professor,’ followed by their last name (e.g. Dr. Smith). Spanish-speakers adhere to similar parameters when speaking to members of status or authority, but there’s also another common way to convey respect without calling someone by their professional titles. This is what usted  in Spanish is all about. When to Use  Usted Spanish is a language that highly values communicating respect and deferring to authority, therefore it makes a distinction that does not exist in English. Spanish-speakers use another word, usted, instead of tú,  to address people of status or authority, the elderly, sometimes someone older than you, and often someone you just met, in order to convey respect to them. In romantic Spanish movies and novels, lovers will always refer to each other using usted  to convey respect and appreciation. Usted  vs.  Tú  in the Real World As your Spanish improves and you speak to people of all the different 24 Latin American countries, you’ll see that the use of usted  varies considerably, not only from country to country, but from region to region  within  the same country. By tuning in and observing each relationship, you can be more informed about whether to use tú  or usted. As you travel to destinations that speak Spanish, youll see the  practical uses of these formalities yourself.  When I lived in Costa Rica, I was surprised to notice that friends often refer to each other using usted, even if they have a very close and informal relationship. I know many people who always address their parents using usted. This often signifies a more formal relationship between parent and child. That said, this also widely varies. For example, my ex-girlfriend was very close to her mother and spoke to her using tú,  always. In fact, her mother told me that she would be offended if her daughter spoke to her using usted,  because it would make her feel not only old, but also distant to her daughter. On the other hand, many other Spanish-speaking mothers would invariably feel offended by their son or daughter if they did not address them in usted. Another caveat is that in most of Central America and South America, Spanish-speakers use vos  instead of tú, but this doesn’t matter as much, as they will always understand you in tú.  A Spanish tutor can help you learn more about vos  if you are interested. Got it? Heres a handy graphic to reference: Final Note The good news is that Spanish-speakers will be so happy to hear you speak Spanish that they most likely won’t be offended if you fail to use the more appropriate one. The key here is not to worry much about it, as this can interrupt you from practicing. My best tip? Use usted  when you’re in doubt, and tune into how Spanish speakers respond to you! As always, a Spanish tutor can help you if you’re confused! Post Author:  Jason N.

Why its Not Okay to Force an Introvert to be Outgoing - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / Why it’s Not Okay to Force an Introvert to be Outgoing - Introvert Whisperer Why it’s Not Okay to Force an Introvert to be Outgoing If you are an introvert, it’s likely that you’ve caught yourself using it as an excuse for not doing something. The tends to be a great deal of misunderstanding when it comes to introversion, even among self-proclaimed introverts: many people believe that introverts are not outgoing and like to keep to themselves. And while that may be true of some introverts, a lack of in-your-face personality does not necessarily mean that someone is an introvert. Rather, people who are introverts require time to process, restore energy, and be with their thoughts more than they need to heard externally. So what happens when an introvert is pushed to share externally? Let’s find out. People who derive a great deal of energy and excitement from social gatherings, parties, workplace meetings, and even standing in line at the grocery store are extroverts. These people love to interact with others and draw a great deal of their energy from the people and things around them. Introverts, on the other hand, can be alone with their thoughts for days on end and don’t require much interaction with others to feel good about themselves or restore their own energy levels. So when an extrovert is trying to coax an introvert into doing something they don’t want to do, things can fall apart pretty quickly. Pushing People Creates Anxiety For starters, introverts often become anxious about social situations where they don’t want to be. This doesn’t mean that introverts are more likely to suffer from anxiety, but rather that they don’t feel comfortable in large gatherings or with many people. They tend to thrive in one-on-one situations and are happy to transfer and share energy with one or two other people at a time. By encouraging introverts to go outside of their comfort zone despite the best of intentions you are not actually helping them. And it’s not okay to push your energy-seeking ways on people who prefer their own company or the company of one or two other people at a time. Meaningful Interactions are Personal Next, when you try to force an introvert to be outgoing in a social situation, they are unable to connect with people in a way that is meaningful for them. Many business owners are actually introverts, despite all of the necessary outgoing skills that are required to make a business grow and thrive. And again, that has nothing to do with their inability to be outgoing, but rather the way they interact with information and other people. So if you are trying to get your introvert, business owner friend to share a co-working space, they might sign up, but prefer to work at their own table. Stop Setting Expectations of People Finally, forcing introverts to be outgoing means that you have an expectation of them that is not aligned with their own expectations of themselves. While it’s not an ideal conversation to have, you need to ask yourself and maybe your introvert friend, if your relationship is really what you hoped it would be given that one person is not doing or saying the things you want them to. Introverts don’t need to look outside themselves for validation or excitement, while extroverts are constantly on the hunt for someone to look at them and acknowledge their presence in the world. It’s not true that opposites attract when one person is sucking the life out of another trying to get them to conform to a certain way of being. Learn to Respect How Others Interact in the World It’s not okay to determine how others should act, whether they are introverts or not. As a society, we have to let go of expectations of others and allow them to find their own way in the world. This is one of the hardest things for people to do, though, because we all have a tendency to look at someone, judge them for what they are currently doing, and make unwarranted, uneducated, and unsolicited suggestions about how people are living their lives. It’s dangerous to assume that someone can “turn it off” or “turn it on” because everyone is different. When we can respect the way people go about living and interacting in the world, we become much more harmonious and happy with our own life, not to mention the lives of others. How to Help Introverts While many introverts are quite independent and confident in their interactions in the world, you can be a friend and supporter of someone who is introverted by respecting their wishes to be allowed to be alone from time to time. Rather than try to get them to see how they’ll miss out if they don’t go to the party on Friday night, show your support by acknowledging that they need their personal space and time. That goes a long way between friends, colleagues, and associates who want nothing more than for someone to understand they are not “shy”, they are introverted.

Should I Go To Georgetown University

Should I Go To Georgetown University The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Bryan is a Washington D.C. tutor and 2010 graduate of Georgetown University. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and specializes in many subjects including SAT prep tutoring, Algebra tutoring, Grammar and Mechanics tutoring, and more. Check out his review of his alma mater: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Bryan: Georgetown University is a unique setting, which was one of the largest draws toward it when I was making my college decision. It balances an urban environment by being in the heart of Washington, DC, with a closed campus. That means that Georgetowns campus is entirely walkable even if choosing to live in off-campus housing, a 15 minute walk would allow you to reach any other point on campus. In addition, by being located in Georgetown (a neighborhood within Northwest Washington, DC), students have access to the dozens of shops, restaurants, and nightlife options within walking distance. The setup of Georgetowns campus allows students to bump into friends and classmates on a regular basis. As far as transportation, students absolutely do not need a car. Some students choose to bike, but walking is the option that most students choose. DC has excellent public transportation in the form of the Metro, although it requires a 15-20 minute walk, or a very short (free) bus ride, to the closest Metro stop (in Rosslyn, VA). The campus is, in general, very safe, with on-campus security, and off-campus Metro Police in the surrounding area. If choosing to live off-campus (which many upperclassmen do), students should remember that Georgetown is located in a large metropolitan area, and take common-sense safety precautions. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Bryan: The professors are all very available. Of course, it varies from professor to professor, but all professors hold regular office hours, which are made known to students. These are a great time for students to stop by a professors office and have individual discussions. Some larger, discussion classes, are broken into discussion sections, led by teaching assistants. My experience with teaching assistants was largely positive they were all very knowledgeable, helpful, and generally accessible for students. Academic advisors are also accessible, and are useful for students wishing to have conversations about switching majors, or choosing courses to match with a particular course of study. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Bryan: Georgetown students are guaranteed at least two years of on-campus housing (although the majority are granted a third year, as well). On-campus dorms vary from building to building (some have a sink included in the room, some are larger apartment-style, etc.), but freshmen usually tend to feel very strongly positive about their living arrangements. All four freshman dorms are located at different parts of campus, but all are within a 15 minute walk of each other. Off-campus housing is widely available for juniors or seniors, which is an option that many students take advantage of. Dining options are mostly limited to the main dining hall on campus. The food is decent, with a large selection for options. In addition, there are plenty of nearby restaurants and cafs for quick, inexpensive dining. Socializing is very easy upon arriving at Georgetown. Students tend to form friends quickly with other people on their freshman year floor, or with other students from various clubs, activities, and events. A nice feature of Georgetowns dorm life is their inclusion of a program called CHARMS. This program allows students to create a profile, and search through other incoming freshmens profiles to find a potential good fit for a roommate. 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? Bryan: Georgetown University has four distinct schools the College of Arts and Sciences, the McDonough School of Business, the School of Foreign Service, and the Nursing and Health Studies School. Because of this separation of schools, Georgetown does a great job of supporting majors of many different fields. Within the College, majors like History, Government, or Economics are very popular. Within the MSB, popular majors include Finance, Consulting, Accounting, or Marketing. Within the SFS, majors focus on International Studies. Popular majors within the SFS include International Relations, as well as many foreign languages (the SFS requires demonstrating proficiency in a language as a prerequisite for graduating). The NHS focuses on Health Studies, and includes an excellent Nursing program, as well as majors like International Health. I graduated from the Georgetown College of Arts and Sciences, with a BA in History, and minors in Government and Psychology. I chose this course of study because I have always been fascinated with history, and Georgetown has an excellent program for liberal arts. Government is a very strong program at Georgetown, and I decided to minor in Government once I took a few courses and realized the caliber of professors was fantastic. The four schools at Georgetown each have their own area of speciality. Students apply for admission to a particular school, and are able to declare a major by their sophomore year. All of the schools at Georgetown are very reputable and well-established. A student should be aware of the differences between the schools before applying, and have some sort of idea for which area appeals to him/her most. 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? Bryan: Meeting people at Georgetown was very easy. Everyone bonds extremely quickly freshman year, particularly with fellow students on their floor or in their dorm. I would absolutely recommend getting involved in as many activities, clubs, and events as possible, since this is an excellent way to meet people as well. Georgetown does not technically have Greek life (there are some fraternities that operate independently, but they are not recognized directly by the university, and do no dominate social life at all), which was actually a big draw in my decision to attend Georgetown. Despite the lack of Greek life, Georgetown maintains a very lively social scene, with plenty of events on campus for students, combined with a large supply of nightlife options within walking distance. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Bryan: The Career Center was moderately helpful to me as an undergraduate. They have resum review services, as well as interview practice sessions for students. Within the MSB, plenty of companies recruit on campus, but recruiting events are mostly limited to the business school. For students in the other schools at the university, it is largely up to them to apply to companies or job opportunities that interest them. However, the Career Center is a valuable resource for students to find out more about companies that are hiring, or job opportunities within their field of interest. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Bryan: The common areas are, for the most part, spacious and available. Plenty of students tend to go to the main library to complete their work or to study, but other options include common spaces in the student union (the Leavey Center), and common areas in dorm buildings. 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? Bryan: Georgetown is a very lively neighborhood within Washington, DC. There are dozens of restaurants, shops, a movie theater, and nightlife options in the immediate walking area for students to enjoy, which they frequent throughout the year. There is never a lack of things to do within Georgetown, but if a student wants to branch out, the entirety of Washington, DC is at the disposal of Georgetown students via the Metro system in DC. Most students tend to stay within the Georgetown area (it often is referred to as the Georgetown bubble,), but I would highly recommend students making efforts to get out to other restaurants, concerts, or sporting events in downtown DC. (The mens basketball team plays off-campus at the Verizon Center, which is a great opportunity for students to get out into the city.) VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Bryan: The undergraduate body is about 6,000 students. Georgetown is a private school, which tends to make for slightly smaller student bodies. However, there were always new people to meet throughout my four years at the school. Alternatively, Georgetowns walkable campus, and relatively moderate student body make it very easy to bump into friends, or meet up with people easily. Finally, class sizes were very reasonable throughout my four years at Georgetown. Some of the larger discussion-based courses were several hundred students, but were then broken up into smaller discussion sections. On the other hand, many of my upper-level History courses were capped at 15 students or fewer, allowing for much more open discussion directly with a professor. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Bryan: I took a Government class (American Electoral Politics) during the second semester of my senior year. It was a lower-level discussion course, with maybe 70 students in it. It was largely lecture-based, but the professor was extremely interesting and every discussion was worthwhile. The downside of the class was that there was very little interaction with the professor, apart from asking occasional questions or visiting him during his office hours. However, on the final class of the semester, the professor asked for all the seniors to raise their hands. He spoke individually to each one, and asked what their plans were for after graduation. It was a good moment to connect with an excellent professor, and he had a chance to understand where many of his students were heading after graduating. Check out Bryanstutoring profile.

3 Ways Private Tutoring Can Reduce the Cost of Education

3 Ways Private Tutoring Can Reduce the Cost of Education Improving Academic Performance College is expensive.The cost of college has been rising faster than the average U.S. income for almost two decades. At the same time, the college admissions process is becoming increasingly competitive â€" getting into high quality state schools is nowhere near a given. At the University of Illinois, a 3.75 GPA and a 30 on the ACT does not mean you’ll be admitted, for example. Furthermore, due to the recent recession, once college is over, getting a job is more difficult than it was a decade ago. Yet, study after study still shows that a college education increases your earning power by tens of thousands of dollars every year, so even though a college education is more difficult to obtain and more expensive than ever, it’s still a great investment â€" in most circumstances. With all this in mind, you might think the private tutoring market, with its relatively high cost, would be struggling â€" it makes high school and/or college cost even more. But, the market for private tutoring is not struggling. In fact, it has been and is expected to continue to grow at more than double the rate of GDP through 2017. It’s growing very fast. Why is this? It’s because spending on education, including private tutoring, is really an investment â€" not a cost. For those of you with general business or accounting experience, you’ll realize the incredibly important difference between the two concepts. A cost is incurred today to produce something â€" perhaps a product, or a service â€" that you use today. An investment, on the other hand, costs money today, but produces a benefit far into the future.And, the long run return on investments in education is usually very positive. So, I suggest that private tutoring can actually decrease the overall cost of education. Three Ways Private Tutoring Can Reduce the Cost of Education, we list three scenarios that illustrate how this can be the case:Scenario #1 â€" A low performing high school or college student finds a long term private tutorScenario #2 â€" The above average high school student invests in an ACT tutorScenario #3 â€" The proactive high school student loads his schedule with 5 AP classesOf course, while this is all true in the broad sense, the real world can be complicated. If you attend a mediocre school, choose a major thatdoesn'tfit your passion, and don’t get involved in activities that build or demonstrate your leadership skills and/or creativity, you probably won’t land a high paying job. In this case, the investment you made in your education may not pay off as expected. The key is to understand your end goal and objectives, make intelligent choices about the education you pursue, and do what you can to increase your return on that investment in education while you’re in college (i.e., get As, not Cs.).In fact, MyGuru has developed two partnerships with organizations that help you navigate the college admissions process and highlight the choices you could make to find the right college for you at the lowest price possible.Collegian Financial is a college admissions adviser with a personalized approach that includes hands-on support for parents a nd students from freshman year in high school, through college and career. They consider academic, social, and financial pieces as a whole to avoid wasting time and money.The College Solution is an interesting and extremely helpful blog with a clear focus on creating tons of content that helps high school students and parents identify the right schools for their individual needs while reducing the cost of attending those schools.Click to learn more about how MyGuru helps you maximize your return on your investment in education through private ACT tutoring.

4 Places to Look for Retail Jobs This Holiday Season

4 Places to Look for Retail Jobs This Holiday Season pexels.com USPS USPS can be a great place to work during the holiday season! They have a large variety of different jobs you can work from driving to customer service to mail handlers. According to Monster, they hire around 40,000 seasonal workers each year so you have a great chance to be hired when they are looking to hire so many new employees. Bryan, a driver for USPS, said, “The nice thing is that everybody likes to receive a gift. So, when their package arrives, they’re just glowing, they’re happy to see you, and it’s a nice feeling to know that this person wants me to come to see them and deliver their package.” HoneyBaked Ham Do not underestimate the power of ham, especially around the holiday season. Hundreds of thousands of hams are ordered from this company each year, if not millions, and it takes a lot of hands on deck in order to accommodate such a large number of orders. Monster reports that they hire up to 12,000 seasonal workers each year. And working there might be a really great stepping stone for you as the company is really focused on not just giving employees a job but tailoring their experience so that they really get something out of it. As their website says, “Part of our great culture is nurturing an environment where our associates can develop in their strength areas and grow in their personal and professional development. We have many career success stories where hourly field associates have gone on to multi-until and corporate leadership positions. We are looking for talented individuals to join our team.” pexels.com Amazon Last holiday season, Amazon hired more than 120,000 seasonal workers. 120,000 workers! That is a huge amount of seasonal workers, so there is no reason that you should not try and slip your application in to be considered for such a large pool of jobs. All you need to be eligible for such a position is to be over the age of 18 and have a high school diploma, GED, or another equivalent. The majority of college students should fit the criteria, so you are already halfway there! Amazon also usually hires in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. In a press release, Mike Roth, Amazon Vice President of Global Customer Fulfillment said, “Last year alone,  more than 14,000  seasonal employees  stayed on in regular, full-time positions after the holidays  and we expect to increase that number this year,” so you have a pretty good chance of retaining such a position if you want to! Target Target is a staple shopping stop for many college students, so why not work for a store and company you adore? In 2016, they hired more than 75,000 workers to work the holiday season. Last year, this is what the company’s chief stores officer, Janna Potts, had to say: “The Target team is famous for serving up exceptional shopping experiences. We can’t wait to welcome new seasonal team members on board to help us make the holidays extra bright for our guests. And new this year, all of our 1,800 stores will host dedicated hiring events in October, meeting with thousands of prospective candidates in just 48 hours.” These events will likely be springing up soon this fall too, so keep an eye out for that!
