3D Geometric Shapes

3D Geometric Shapes Full form of 3D is Three Dimension. Three dimension geometric shapes are the figures which has length, breadth and height. Examples of 3D geometric shapes: - Sphere Cylinder Cone Cuboid Cube 3D Shape Definition Examples Formula Sphere The solid generated by revolving a circular alumina about any of its diameters, is called the sphere. Football, volleyball, etc., Volume = 4/3 r^3 Surface area = 4 r^2 Cylinder The solid bounded by a circular curved surface and two identical bases. Circular pillars, circular pipes, circular pencils, measuring jars, road rollers and gas cylinder etc., Volume = r^2 h Curved surface area= 2 r h Total surface area= 2r(r + h) Cone The solid generated by the rotation of a right- angled triangle about one of the sides containing the right angle is called a right circular cone. Ice-cream cone, conical vessel, clowns cap, etc. Volume= (1/3) r^2 h Curved surface area=r( h^2 + r^2) = r l Total surface area= r (l + r) Cuboid A solid bounded by six rectangular faces is called a cuboid. Matchbox, chalk box, brick, tile, book, etc., Volume= l * b * h Diagonal=(l^2+b^2+h^2 ) Total surface area=2(lb+bh+lh) Lateral surface area=2 ( l + b) * h Cube A cuboid whose length, breadth and heights are all equal is called a cube. Dice, ice cubes, sugar cubes etc., Volume= a^3 Diagonal = 3 a Total surface area= 6 a^2 Lateral surface area= 4 a^2

Why Standardized Tests are NOT IQ Tests

Why Standardized Tests are NOT IQ Tests Improving Academic Performance “It is not that I’m so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.” - Albert Einstein If you ask 100 people to name the five most intelligent people the world has ever known, I’d bet 75% of them would mention Albert Einstein. But Albert Einstein honestly didn’t think he was that much more intelligent than anyone else. What he recognized as the catalyst for his unbelievable insights about the physical world was his belief that, with the right amount and type of focused thinking, he could find a solution to a problem. He stayed with the questions longer. But, if Albert Einstein wasn’t necessarily that much more intelligent than anyone else (let’s assume that statement is in part true), then what does it mean to be intelligent or to measure raw intelligence? We argue that it means very little, and is difficult or impossible to do so. When you are taking a test, your skills and knowledge are being measured, and those are things you can build over time with the right type of practice. With this in mind, we are going to tackle the more or less mistaken notion that standardized exams such as the ACT, SATs, GRE, GMAT, and LSAT are IQ tests. Too many high school and college students believe that studying or preparing for these types of tests is in part a losing battle, because the tests are specifically trying to measure some notion of raw intelligence. This leads to a negative mindset during SAT/ACT prep classes, work with private tutors, and on test day. If you don’t believe there is a ton to gain from preparing, the quality of your preparation, i.e., the way in which you engage with the material, will suffer. It doesn’t need to. In fact, it’s important to understand that standardized tests are not used to identify the smartest applicants, or to measure innate intelligence. Instead, they are generally trying to measure the extent to which an applicant is prepared to succeed in college or graduate school, based on whether they’ve amassed the types of reading, writing, and mathematics skills that are required to do that. So, we suggest that the harder you work, the more you’ll learn, and that you can, to a very large extent, prepare for these exams, because the exams are testing “learnable skills” such as reading comprehension, writing, mathematics, and critical thinking. We tend to underestimate the influence of practice, mindset, and a strategic study plan can have on students’ performance on the ACT or SAT. Jenny Krugman, Vice President of The College Board (the company that administers the SAT test), states, “The best preparation for standardized tests is to take challenging, college preparatory courses in high school and study hard. That advice should be printed in 500-point type and underlined about 20 times.” Ms. Krugman is basically reiterating our point that practice done right will certainly positively affect your standardized exam scores. It is not merely an IQ test measuring the raw intelligence you were born with â€" your intelligence amasses over time through practice and study. Research shows that simply having information regarding how the brain works can result in an improvement in academic performance. The knowledge that intelligence is built over time through practice and studying is a powerful idea that changes your mindset, and thereby potentially has a positive impact on your test scores. Once someone is convinced that they can improve with practice, they will get more out of that practice. Here is a series of thoughts that, while seemingly innocuous, perhaps common, can be very detrimental to someone preparing for the ACT and/or SAT. Dangerous but Common Beliefs about Standardized Tests Standardized tests are extremely important â€" they determine in large part whether I’ll get in to the college, graduate, business, medical, or law program that I’m applying to. It’s the main element of my application. Standardized tests are in some significant way IQ tests â€" they are in part measuring my natural intelligence, because the programs to which I’m applying are seeking the smartest applicants. I can prepare for standardized tests to ensure I reach my personal potential, but my preparation can only take me so far. My GPA is important, because it measures how hard working I am, another important thing that the programs to which I’m applying care a lot about. Other elements of my application, such as my leadership and teamwork skills, community service activities, rationale for wanting to get admitted to this program, and communication skills, are important, but secondary to my test score and my GPA. These beliefs can be incredibly detrimental to your overall performance on standardized exams due to the increased stress and pressure they create, not to mention the lack of control one feels over scores. This kind of environment is toxic when it comes to performing on the SATs and ACTs. Less Common but More Accurate Beliefs about Standardized Test What if the following four statements were true instead? 1) Standardized tests are very important â€" they are one of five or so factors that determine whether I’ll get in to the college, graduate, business, medical, or law program that I’m applying to. It’s one of the main elements of my application. 2) Standardized tests are not IQ tests, even though they can seem like they are â€" they measure specific mathematic, reading comprehension, and verbal skills that can be learned, and which you did learn in school. They measure how likely you are to succeed in the program to which you are applying (i.e., college, grad school, etc.), not your innate intelligence. 3) The GPA is used alongside the standardized test score to estimate the likelihood of success in the program â€" it’s not a separate measure looked at independently. True, unlike a test score, it also provides information about a student’s work ethic, but its purpose is primarily to combine with the test score to create an estimate of success in the program. 4) Other elements of the application, such as my leadership and teamwork skills, community service activities, rationale for wanting to get admitted to this program, and communication skills, are important, and in many cases, receive equal weight in the application review process. In this case, much of the previous stress is reduced because the idea that “everything is riding on this one test” is partially removed. Second, once the test is no longer simply an indication of IQ, you have much more motivation to study long and hard for it. Lastly, if this second set of statements is true, and your SAT or ACT score isn’t as impressive as you’d like it to be, you may consider taking time to improve other elements of your college application instead of re-taking the test many times over. Many admissions experts will tell you that this is very possibly a smart strategic move, since those other parts are very important. Hopefully, this fact helps you relax, study hard, and begin to build the confidence necessary to do your personal best on whatever standardized test lies ahead of you. So, perhaps the most important thing to take away from this article and to keep in mind as you consider taking a standardized test is that these standardized tests can be studied for, because they are testing learnable skills that you probably have been exposed to already in school. Simply knowing that you put in the time to prepare can actually raise your confidence substantially, and when you’re more confident, you’re less likely to become stressed, and more likely to be in an alert state that is conducive to optimal performance. With all of this in mind, we hope every student can begin to understand that standardized tests are not IQ tests, and that there is a great chance for even the “bad test takers” among us to succeed.

Professional At Work

How To Feel More Confident/Professional At Work Photo Via:  Pexels.com So without further ado, here are 10 ways in which you can feel more confident and/or professional at work. 1. Look the Part The way you dress says a lot about you, especially in a work environment. Weekends are one thing, but dressing for work is something else entirely. And there is no easy answer as to how you should dress for work, as each workplace is different. For instance, some workplaces have casual dress codes in which you don’t need to dress up every day. In fact, these workplaces often are more lax and allow you to wear jeans every day. That being said, there’s a proper way to dress casually for work. Even if your workplace allows ripped jeans, stay away from them when it comes to the workplace. In addition, graphic tees and other such items are unprofessional in most settings. Again, each workplace is different (and some will have business professional dress codes), but as a general rule of thumb, it’s much better to be overdressed than underdressed when it comes to professionalism. So always dress up and never dress down! 2. Stay Organized Organization is key; that’s a phrase that comes up far too often in professional environments, but for good reason. When it comes to maintaining professionalism, organization is one of the key factors that will get you there. This extends from your email inbox all the way to how messy your desk is. The most professional individuals are organized at all times, in every sense of the word. You’ll find that most employers seek out individuals with top-notch organization skills, as these are the most universally sought after skills due to their necessity in a professional environment. So if you’re the type of person that’s a bit disorganized in your personal life, make sure you put in extra effort to avoid being disorganized in your professional life. 3. Speak Up More often than not, new employees don’t feel comfortable speaking their mind in the workplace. However, this is one of the biggest mistakes that you can make in a professional work environment. In meetings in which your employer is looking for feedback, thoughts and reactions, staying silent is detrimental to your professionalism. In fact, it typically gives off the sense that you don’t have an opinion on the matter or don’t care about the matter altogether, which isn’t an impression that you want to give when it comes to your job. When it comes to these types of meetings, make sure that you speak up and provide your opinion when you have one. While you’ll obviously want to maintain a professional demeanor, your opinion, when asked for, is wanted, so staying silent is not going to benefit you in the least. 4. Know When to Listen That all being said, sometimes, speaking up is not in your best interest. In fact, there are many individuals who speak up too often in professional environments. On the one hand, you have those that are so opinionated they don’t let anyone else contribute to the conversation, and on the other hand, you have individuals that don’t know when their opinion isn’t wanted and/or needed. There will be plenty of times in which you may have to listen to an individual you may not agree with, but find yourself in a situation in which you are unable to disagree and have to bite your tongue. In other situations, you’ll find that your opinion is best kept to yourself. Finding the balance between speaking up and listening isn’t an easy task, but it’s one that’s necessary to maintain your professionalism. Sometimes will be harder than others to stay quiet or speak up, but it’s up to you to find that balance. Photo Via: Pexels.com 5. Leave Emotions at Home Sometimes, when it comes to your emotions, it’s best to check them at the door of the office. In other words, don’t bring your personal life to work when you can avoid it, as it’s truly only going to cause problems. While sometimes personal life problems and/or concerns will spill into your professional life, generally speaking, the more you’re able to separate the two, the better off you will be. You’ll find that you may work with people who share a lot of details of their personal life, and others who hardly share anything. In addition, there are going to be circumstances in which you’ll feel some people overshare. As far as you are concerned, this balance is again, up to you. Nobody is going to tell you when you can and can’t share things (for the most part), so sharing is up to your discretion. That being said, it’s always better to keep more to yourself than you share, as you never know how individuals will react to the information you are sharing. In the interest of not offending anyone and not giving too much information to your co-workers, make sure you get to know everyone before you go spilling all the information about your life. 6. Censor Yourself This goes hand in hand with the concept of oversharing: sometimes, there are things that aren’t work appropriate and that are better kept to yourself. For instance, swearing in an office environment, no matter the policy/who else does it, is always a bad idea. While you may work in an office that’s lax in that regard, you never know who you could offend and it’s better to give off a more professional vibe when in an office setting. In addition, you’ll find that it’s best to censor yourself when it comes to your tone and demeanor in a work environment. You may not agree with someone or find that you’re angry/upset with a co-worker on occasion, but overreacting is only going to make matters worse. So if you find yourself in one of these types of situations, take a step back, think about what you’re going to say, then act. Always think twice before making any accusations/emotionally charged comments, as these circumstances are the most likely to cause problems for you down the road. Infographic by Victoria Robertson 7. Have Confidence When it comes to looking and feeling professional, confidence is key. You have to be confident in yourself in order to give off a professional vibe. The less sure you are of yourself, the more timid you will come across in a professional environment, which can read as either uncaring or confused, neither of which are qualities that you want to be showcasing in a work environment. Now, this isn’t to say that being humble and/or aware of your shortcomings is a bad thing. However, you do want to be confident when it comes to the things that you are strong in, and you should always have a demeanor that lets people know you’re willing to put in the effort to get better, no matter what. Again, there’s a balance to strike here between confidence and cockiness. You don’t want to come across as overbearing or conceited, so make sure that you are checking your confidence to ensure it’s not encroaching on territory that’s going to leave a bad taste in others’ mouths. 8. Be Social Sometimes, it’s best to be a social butterfly. In a work setting, it’s important that you socialize with your co-workers and don’t end up the recluse that doesn’t talk to anyone. That being said, you don’t want to be the person that’s too social, so again, there’s a certain balance needed on this end as well. When it comes to socializing at work, keep it light, polite and conversational. You can talk about work-related items or personal life, but make sure you’re not oversharing and that you’re having a conversation with somebody and not at somebody. In addition, don’t be the type of person that’s too talkative and distracting others from their work. Work time conversations are meant to be a nice break from work, but shouldn’t take up so much of someone else’s time that they aren’t able to complete the tasks assigned to them. Make sure you’re accomplishing your tasks and that you’re allowing others enough time to accomplish theirs. Side conversations will always be a welcome distraction, but only if they don’t take up a majority of your time or someone else’s. Be sure to find that balance and appreciate the fact that you are still at work and still have things that you need to accomplish. 9. Be Willing to Learn A willingness to learn is so essential to professionalism that most employers won’t even hire an individual if they don’t see this drive in an interview. When you begin a new position, whether a veteran or new to the position itself, you need to have a willingness and eagerness to learn every day. You should be coming into work ready to learn whatever it takes to accomplish your job well. Never close yourself off to new information because you think you already know something. The truth is, there’s always something new for you to learn, and just because you’re good at what you do doesn’t mean that there isn’t room for improvement. One of the biggest mistakes in professionalism that an employee can make is assuming they already know everything. They don’t. No matter your title or status in an organization, there is always room to learn something else. Basically, you will never know everything, so you should be assuming that you don’t when working in a professional environment. Listen to others, stay open to learning new things or new ways of doing things and don’t be afraid to help others when you think you have a better method of doing something or you’re more confident in how to do something. Again, there’s always room for improvement, but that starts with a willingness to learn on your part. 10. Stay Focused Last, but definitely not least, it’s very important that a professional is focused at all times when at work. That isn’t to say that you can’t take breaks or enjoy some downtime, or that you won’t have bad days, but for the most part, your main task while at work should be to accomplish your work, no matter what. Focus is so important in a professional environment, as it’s your opportunity to showcase your dedication to a position. Maintaining your focus will also tell your employer how much you value your job as well as how task-oriented you can be. Employers are looking for employees that want to work, are willing to work and that can stay focused no matter what. Showcasing these skills while at work will truly showcase your professionalism. In addition, staying focused will set you apart from the rest of your co-workers, as it will set the bar as far as work standards go. Again, you don’t need to overdo this, but accomplishing your tasks on time and working hard every day is only going to work in your favor. Again, professionalism and confidence go hand in hand, but only if you’re willing to put in the effort to make that happen. These ten ways to feel more confident and/or professional at work are a good starting point, but the true professionalism depends entirely on your situation, work environment and colleagues. Basically, do what you can to maintain a professional demeanor on your end and adjust accordingly based on your work environment. You’ll be feeling much more professional in no time!

Six Productive Ways to Spend Free Time in High School

Six Productive Ways to Spend Free Time in High School Free time may seem hard to come by, but you may occasionally find yourself with extra time on your hands. You could just grab the remote and see what's new on TV. Instead, consider these six strategic ways to spend free time. 1. Get Lost in a Book Step away from your smart phone, and pick up a book instead. If you're not sure what to read, refer to a go-to list of books. Include everything from friends' and professors' recommendations to best sellers in your favourite genre. Is there an academic topic you've been meaning to learn more about? This is the perfect opportunity to enrich your knowledge. 2. Learn a Language In our increasingly global environment, admissions officers and employers alike are on the lookout for candidates with language abilities. These skills will also come in handy if you choose to travel internationally. Swedish scientists have determined that learning a language can keep your brain in shape. It's even been linked with later onset of Alzheimer's disease! Learning a language takes time, but a number of resources are available to help you learn on your own time. 3. Clean Your Room You've probably been hearing this one since you were five, but the incentives remain the same. A clean, clutter-free space promotes organisation and has even been linked with lower stress level. By removing external stimuli from your environment, you also improve your ability to focus. 4. Meditate This ancient practice has many proven modern applications. Whether you're hoping to increase your energy level, enhance your ability to concentrate, or simply relax, meditation takes only minutes a day but has manifold payoffs. 5. Make a Bucket List Research from Dominican University indicates that people who write down and share their goals are 33 percent more likely to accomplish them. Whether personal or professional, take a minute to identify your goals and commit them to paper. 6. Focus on Family Time While your friends may be the center of your universe right now, college will be here before you know it. When was the last time you hung out with your little brother or went grocery shopping with your mom? Spend time with your family while you're still under the same roof. Being smart about how you spend your free time can have unexpected results. Not only can these six tips help you learn and grow as a person, but they can also help you reach your goals and improve your quality of life.

Autobiography for Peace Activist Who Renounced His Medal of Honor Published Posthumously

Autobiography for Peace Activist Who Renounced His Medal of Honor Published Posthumously Image via Charles J. Liteky Facebook   He was a Roman Catholic Priest who served as a United States Army Chaplain during the Vietnam War. In a 1967 battle, he carried more than 20 wounded soldiers to safety. For his bravery and courage, Charles J. Liteky received the U.S. military’s highest decoration, the Medal of Honor. Nearly 10 years later, he left the Catholic priesthood, and influenced by his wife, a former nun, became an activist for issues of social justice. However, in 1986, he became the only recipient to renounce his Medal of Honor award, placing it near the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial on the National Mall as a protest of then-President Reagan’s foreign policies in Central America. Liteky passed away on January 20, 2017, in San Francisco likely from stroke complications. A memorial service was held for him on March 4th. Family and friends who admired his efforts and bravery and who often joined him in his call for peace and reconciliation in the world have posthumously published his autobiography, Renunciation, according to a recent press release. In Renunciation, Liteky shares his reason for returning the award during a time of transition in his life, when he was leaving the Catholic priesthood as well as his duties as a military chaplain and wartime hero to become a civilian fighter for peace. The story reflects on what led to his decisions and how he felt coming into his role as a peace activist. In Vietnam, he had volunteered to serve as an army chaplain. In combat for the first time, he exposed himself to land mines and machine guns. With no helmet or weapon, he rescued 23 wounded soldiers who were ambushed by a Vietcong battalion. He got the injured out to hospitals and gave last rites to those dying. His actions then and after were “to save lives.” Liteky displayed courage on the battlefield and a different kind of courage as a civilian to stand up to the U.S. government and question the Catholic church’s support of the war in Vietnam as well as the military establishment. In making the transition from military man and priest to standing side by side with other brave men and women to protest military strategies around the world, he found a new mission in life: to speak up for those who had no voice. Joseph P. Fahey, a retired professor of religious studies at New York’s Manhattan College, states, “Throughout this book, Charlie’s voice speaks loud and clear for the silent and those who have been silenced. It is a challenging story for anyone in the military, for religious and for all of us. We hope that Charlie’s pilgrimage will inspire others to act when necessary and have the personal courage to change.” Liteky never planned to publish a book about his life. But his wife, Judy, convinced him that his story would be valuable to other people. He agreed to have the book published if Fahey promised to see it through. Indeed, that promise was well-kept. Charles James Liteky was born in Washington, D.C., on February 14, 1931. Raised mostly in Jacksonville, Florida, he attended the University of Florida for two years. He then entered the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity, a religious congregation in Silver Spring, Maryland, and he was ordained a Roman Catholic priest during 1960 as Angelo J. Liteky (the name under which he also received the military medal). During his life, Mr. Liteky also resided in California, Hawaii, New York, and Ohio, and his life was influenced by experiences in San Diego and San Francisco, Pearl Harbor, Brooklyn, Cleveland, and Fort Benning.
