There is no magical formula that guarantees your success in K-12 except hard and smart work. [starbox id=admin]

How to Become a Food Technologist

How to Become a Food Technologist The Steps to Becoming a Food Technologist ChaptersGet EducatedGet ExperienceEstablish Your NetworkBecome a MemberMaybe you are the type of person who, upon discovering that the bag of crisps you just opened contains nothing but crisp-crumbs, you get frustrated.You might even think “There’s got to be a better way to package these so that they aren’t reduced to crumbles!”.Would you be surprised to know that crisp bags are pumped full of nitrogen for that very purpose?In the food processing plant, after the crisps are fried or baked, they are salted and/or flavoured, inspected and then packaged. Just before each bag is sealed it is treated to a puff of nitrogen.That nitrogen serves three purposes:1. it removes most of the oxygen, prolonging the product’s shelf life2. it prevents spoilage: bacteria need oxygen to live but the nitrogen displaces the oxygen3. the puffed-up bag acts like a bubble, protecting the crisps and (mostly) keeping them whole.So now you know: if you want fresh, relatively unbroken crisps, you shou ld select the puffiest bag!This cost-effective, ingenious way of preserving crisps actually has a name: modified atmosphere packaging, or MAP.MAP no doubt originated in a food science lab, quite possibly devised by a clever food technologist. Probably of the same ingenious vein that you are.If you’ve always had a soft spot for science and are possessed of a deep and abiding love for food, there is a career meant especially for you: food technologist.Food technologists play a vital role in the food industry. They ensure food safety in processing plants and make sure that food quality is not sacrificed to efficiency in production.Food technologists may have a hand in designing food processing plants as well as food packaging â€" but not necessarily labelling. That is another department altogether.However, the nutritional values and the ingredients list that appears on the label is the purview of the food scientist.Your Superprof intuits that you already have an interest in this fiel d.Perhaps you’d like to find out how you too could join the ranks of food technologists currently working on new, environmentally-friendly packaging and transportation methods for our food supply.As always, we are here to help. Let us now outline the steps you need to take to become a food technologist. As a manufacturing plant's expert on food sciences, you may be instrumental in helping design production plants Image by Malachi Witt from Pixabay GiovanniCooking Teacher 4.83 (12) £25/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutors HalimaCooking Teacher £12/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutors HakimCooking Teacher 5.00 (5) £50/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutors VincenzoCooking Teacher £30/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutors GinellaCooking Teacher £30/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutors ArronCooking Teacher 5.00 (2) £9/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutors JoshuaCooking Teacher 5.00 (5) £30/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutors FlickCooking Teacher 5.00 (1) £50/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutorsGet EducatedPeople have been preserving food for centuries without the benefit of higher education.That doesn’t mean that, if you know all about curing meats, making sausage and bottling vegetables as your grandparents and maybe your parents did, you are automatically qualified to seek employment as a food technologist.The nature of the job and especially aspects of food safety and quality demand that there must be intensive study devoted to the subject.As an example: if you are a food technologist working in a food processing plant, your job would be to make sure the food is properly handled, does not get contaminated and meets all of the safety and quality standards set by the government.It might seem a bit daunting a proposition when you think about the possibility of people being made sick over a bad batch of tinned fish or bagged lettuce a food technologist approved for shipment to supermarkets all over the country and even abroad.However, if you study well, earn your degree and get the right on-the-job training, you needn’t worry that such a scenario will come to pass on your watch.Indeed, you will probably make sure that any food product sent out to the public meets the highest standards of food manufacturing safety.We fou nd the best food science and technology curricula at:London Metropolitan UniversityUniversity of LeedsUniversity of NottinghamUniversity of SurreyUniversity of ReadingUniversity of PlymouthGlasgow Caledonian UniversityRobert Gordon University AberdeenQueen’s University BelfastUlster University Northern IrelandTo gain admittance to any of these fine schools, you must have at least an ABB on your A-Levels.If you anticipate sitting A-Levels next year, it would be a good idea to include a science component â€" either biology or chemistry to the selections you have already made.Also, discover what subjects are covered in the food science technology curriculum. Don't forget to meet with your campus' career counsellor; s/he may connect you with people already working in the nutrition and food science industry Image by Free-Photos from PixabayGet ExperienceOnce you’ve been accepted into the food science degree programme of your choice, it is time to get cracking, and not just in your studies of dietetics, nutrition and food.Several of the above-listed universities offer a work placement component that complements your studies.The University of Reading, for instance, has an excellent work-study programme. You would spend a year working in a food manufacturing or processing plant; an opportunity that allows you to gain valuable work experience before receiving your undergraduate degree.The downside is that it will take you four years to graduate instead of three... but think of the value that extra year adds to your studies: you will get to see firsthand the duties of a food technologist in a professional setting.This is really the optimal wa y of getting your foot in the door of the food industry but there are others.Once you are nearing the end of your studies, you may search online for food technology apprenticeships. You may also find guidance in your school’s career centre.Discover the many ways you can train to become a food technologist.Establish Your NetworkIt is not uncommon for alumni who have established themselves in the food production industry to return to their alma mater and offer soon-to-graduate students their first crack into the job market.Nor would it be considered strange for you to visit your school’s career counselling centre to proclaim your availability and eagerness to work.Possibly, such an alumnus may visit your school and host a lecture or an informal question and answer session about new food products under development, or advances in food research their company is working on.It would be most beneficial for you to attend such events not just for your continuing development as a food tec hnologist but possibly for future career opportunities.At any rate, unless you intend to enrol in a graduate program, maybe to study food microbiology or biotechnology, it is a good idea to check in with your career counselling office; you never know what sage advice they may have for you.Join the discussion: what distinguishes a food technologist from a food scientist? You can make many career connections by attending food technology conferences Image by ?? ? from PixabayBecome a MemberUntil the mid-twentieth century, food science was not a field of study one could pursue because it didn’t exist.In 1955, the National College of Food Technology was established in the UK, which formulated a curriculum that was offered at four universities and one polytechnic school.From these tentative beginnings, a national institute was formed to, among other objectives, promote food science and technology as a legitimate field of study deserving of recognition and funding.By 1968, the Institute of Food Science and Technology had become incorporated, complete with Articles of Association, By-Laws and a Memorandum.Today, the Institute of Food Science Technology concerns itself with all aspects of food science and the technology used to produce and process food.Using both science and technology, it pledges to provide the public with safe, healthy, nutritious food. That is their core mission but, to highlight the relevance and importance of food safety, they undertake to increase public awareness of what the organisation does and why they do it.Besides educating the public about food science and nutrition, they emphasise the farm-to-table aspects of food production and their drive to improve every facet of the food supply, production and delivery chain.Before the ink dries on the degree you worked so hard to earn, you should declare yourself a member of IFST.You should know the Institute of Food Science Technology is not a government body; indeed it operates independently of the government.In 2007, the Charity Commission formally acknowledged the Institute of Food Science Technology, granting it its charitable status.Although our IFST is not overseen by the government, it has partnered with other similar concerns worldwide, such as the Institute of Food Technologists in the US and the International Union of Food Science and Technology.In fa ct, our IFTS gave the European Union the impetus to form their European Federation of Food Science and Technology!One of the best reasons to become a member of the Institute of Food Science Technology is that they actively promote careers in science to younger students by hosting competitions and awarding prizes.You may also attend their many conferences held throughout the year in various locations around the country. This would be an excellent chance to network; to get to know others in your field and possibly collaborate with them on a discovery project of your own.And that’s not all! As a member, you could partake of their continuing education offerings.Their Continuing Professional Development Program helps keep their members abreast of the latest developments in areas such as food engineering, human nutrition and food preservation.So there you have it: where to find your undergraduate program, where to find help and networking opportunities and the one body who stands to he lp you advance as food scientists.Now read our comprehensive overview of food science technology

Learn Spanish Grammar Present Perfect Conjugations

Learn Spanish Grammar Present Perfect Conjugations Suzy S. Ready for your next lesson in Spanish grammar? Here, tutor  Jason  N.  explains what you need to know about present perfect conjugations Mastering verb conjugation is crucial to learning Spanish. It’s all about knowing patterns and formulas, as Ive reviewed in some of my earlier posts about Spanish grammar. If you’re reading this now, it probably means you are well aware of the importance of  conjugating verbs to describe situations and events. Conjugations also enable us to form coherent sentences that specify the ‘who,’ ‘what,’ and ‘when’ of a particular action. By now, you have come a long way. You know how  to conjugate basic verbs in the present tense  (such as beber, hablar, and escribir),  stem-changing verbs in the present tense (such as pedir, poder, and querer),  irregular verb conjugations in their ‘yo’ form (such as vengo  for  the verb venir), and how to conjugate Spanish verbs in the  past tense, the imperfect, and the  conditional and future tenses. Next up? The present perfect! What is the Present Perfect Tense? While the preterite  tense refers to a one-time, isolated event in  the past, and the imperfect tense describes past events that occurred in a habitual or routine manner, the present perfect  refers to past actions, events, thoughts, or beliefs that are still happening or are in progress, and are likely to continue into the present (i.e. something has happened). All we need to do now is learn a new formula that will make present perfect conjugations so easy that they  will become second nature.  The present perfect is conjugated by using  the following formula:  haber (in the present tense)  + the past participle of a given verb. Forming the Past Participle To form the  past participle for an -ar  verb, there  are two simple steps: Remove the last two letters of infinite form of the -ar  verb (e.g.  tomar?tom). Add ado to the end of the verb  (e.g.  tomado). In this case, tomado  translates to the word taken in English, which is the past participle of the verb “to take.” To form the past participle of -er  or -ir  verbs, you simply add ido  (instead of ado)  to the end of the word, after removing the last two letters of the verbs ending in the infinitive form (e.g. comer?com?comido). Forming the Present Perfect Now that you know how to conjugate the past participle in Spanish, we can add this to the present perfect formula (present tense of  haber + past participle of a  given verb) to create the present perfect  tense. As a reminder, haber is conjugated like this: As we  move on to the next step,  lets  start  with the example of the verb tomar. Conjugating -ar  Verbs in the Present Perfect Create  the correct participle.  (tomar?tom?tomado  = taken) If you are referring to yo  or I, use he, forming he tomado. (I have taken) If you are referring to tú or you, use has  to form has tomado. (You have taken) If you are referring to él or ella or ‘he or she,’ use ha  to form ha tomado. (He/she has taken) If you are referring to nosotros or ‘we,’ use hemos  to form hemos tomado. (We have taken) If you are referring to ellos or ‘they,’ use the ending han  to form han tomado. (They have taken) Conjugating  -er  and -ir  Verbs  in the Present Perfect As an example, let’s use comer (to eat). Create  the correct participle.  (comer?com?comido =  eaten) ‘Yo’ would be he comido. (I have eaten) If you are referring to tú  or ‘you,’ it would be has comido. (You have eaten) If you are referring to él  or ella  or ‘he or she,’ use ha comido. (He/she has eaten) If you are referring to nosotros  or we, use hemos comido. (We have eaten) If you are referring to ellos  or they, use han comido. (They have eaten) Ready for some practice? Conjugate the following in the present perfect  tense: Irregular Past Participles There are several verbs that have irregular past participle forms. Unfortunately, memorizing these verbs past participles is the best way to learn them. Verbs with the same root as irregular verbs naturally have the same irregularities. Here are a few examples: componer compuesto describir descrito devolver devuelto Once you memorize the irregulars, which is easier than it sounds (once you practice or study regularly), you’ll be ready to go!  Remember: a  Spanish tutor can really help if you get stuck!

You'll see how obvious this is if you look at how much some of the instruments can cost. The price of a Steinway or Yamaha grand piano might make your eyes water.However, you don’t need to spend a fortune to learn about classical piano or modern piano music.For one, upright pianos are cheaper than grand pianos and you don't necessarily need to buy a new piano if you're just starting out. Of course, the strings will probably need tuning by a piano technician if you get a second-hand piano that hasn't been played in a while.That said, you don't necessarily have to buy an acoustic piano. You can always opt for a digital piano or a keyboard as they tend to be much more affordable.Of course, before you start eyeing up that Kawai piano for sale, you should probably learn more about the piano itself. Learning to play the piano involves learning about musical culture in the same way that you’d learn about the culture of a certain country when you study a language.In this article, we’re going to have a look at piano virtuosos throughout the centuries as well as the most beautiful piano music.The piano gets to be in the centre of the stage, where it belongs.

Far from chamber music, this contemporary piece will giv e you the chills.Ludovico Einaudi, Divenire: This piece was featured on the film Intouchable and will definitely move you. Why not try to play one of Ludovico Einaudi’s pieces for yourself?Ray Charles, Hit the Road Jack: To practise your rhythm and timing, there’s nothing better than jazz classics. This piece has a tempo that beginners can have a go at.Toto, Hold the Line: While the cadence is quite complicated to follow in this song and the right-hand and left-hand parts require a lot of concentration, it’s worth having a go of if you fancy a challenge.Alicia Keys, If I Ain’t Got You: This piece from the talented singer Alicia Keys is great for those wanting to work on both their piano playing and their voice.Adele, Someone Like You: If you prefer pop music, this song by Adele is a must. A lot of her songs are great for pianists.Yann Tiersen, Comptime d’un autre  Ã©té l’après-midi: The simple and moving piano pieces from this French pianist were featured in the unforg ettable soundtrack for the film Amélie and the artist regularly performs them live.Maurane, Le prélude de Bach: This singer with an unforgettable voice was accompanied by a great piano piece.Whether you like classical music, contemporary pop, or jazz, you’ll find plenty of interesting piano pieces that’ll get stuck in your head.

Here are some of the greatest composers of all time:Joannes Brahms: This composer and conductor was often compared to Beethoven, much to his dismay.Ludwig van Beethoven: He started composing at the age of 12 and his works continued to evolve over time.Joseph Haydn: Considered the father of symphony, he also instigated the shift from baroque music to Romantic music.Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: the epitome of genius! Although he died young, he left behind 600 musical works!Robert Schumann: He recreated poems musically and was an absolutely fantastic composer.Frédéric Chopin: An unparalleled pianist and composer, Chopin was a spontaneous creator and could spend hours locked in a room with the sole goal of creating music for his wife, George Sand (r eal name Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin).Piotr Ilyich Tchaïkovski: You can’t talk about the best composers without mentioning Tchaïkovski. The composer was at the forefront of Romanticism and known for his eclecticism.Giuseppe Verdi: The Italian school also had its fair share of talented composers, including Verdi who created many operas that are still performed today. He was notably influenced by Wagner even though the two were contemporaries.Ludovico Einaudi: We have to also include Ludovico Einaudi, a contemporary composer, in this list. He’s known for his minimalist melodies that are found in films such as Mommy.I could have also added Igor Stravinsky, Dmitri Chostakovitch, Prokofiev, and Rachmaninov.The Best French PianistsWe need to give a special mention to some of the amazing pianists from across the channel.

Algebra Standard Form

Algebra Standard Form The standard form is another way to write the equations. We have many kinds of standard forms of the formulas used in Algebra. For example, the standard form 3x^2 7 + 4x^3 + x^5 is x^5 +4x^3 +3 x^2 7. We know the standard form of a quadratic equation is ax^2 + box =c = 0, here we have a condition that is a 0. We have intercept form and slope intercept forms to write a line in standard forms. Intercept form of a line is: (x /a) + (y/b) = 1 Here, a and b are x and y intercepts Slope intercept form of a line: y = mx + c Here, m is the slope and c is the y intercept. Example 1: Write the equation of a line 3x + 4y = 12 in intercept form. Solution: We know the intercept form of a line that is x/a + y/b = 1 The given equation is 3x + 4y = 12 To write this in the form, we need to divide by 12 (3x/12) + (4y/12) = (12/12) ( x/4 ) + (y/3) = 1 Here, 4 is the x intercept and 3 is the y intercept. Example 2: Write the equation 6x + 2y 6 = 0. Solution: We know the slope-intercept form of a line that is y = mx + c The given equation is 6x + 2y 6 =0 2y = -6x + 6 y = - 3x + 3 Here, -3 is the slope of the line and 3 is the y intercept.

11+ Tutor Training Day

11+ Tutor Training Day Daniel, a published writer, and experienced English tutor describes his experience of Tutorfair's 11+ Training Day for professional tutors. Around 30 tutors gathered in Marylebone for an in-depth training  day on the 11+ Maths and English exams. It was Tutorfair’s second such event on this topic, and already a bigger venue was required. Fast-paced and engaging from start to finish, the day was a hands-on masterclass in tutoring at its finest, not surprising given the calibre of the teachers and the eagerness of the tutors in the room, most already practising and here to hone their skills. The 11+ tutoring market in London continues to grow as parents take advantage of the extra skills a stint of one-on-one teaching gives to their children. This proved a highly instructive and useful course, packed with tips, techniques and sound advice, and delivered â€" it’s got to be said â€" by some of the nicest,  brightest people in the business. The collective wisdom of the Tutorfair team makes for a powerful ally to help youngsters get into the schools of their choice in what is an ever more competitive entrance system. Unflaggingly bright and positive, the staff tutors share as much about the right attitude it takes as about the topics themselves. And this gets to the heart of effective tutoring: It’s better to impart knowledge in a way that lights up the will to learn in the student, that opens up that special place where confidence can grow and develops an openness to learning. It felt, too, like Tutorfair really knew how to make the day as effective as possible. Everyone in the room was encouraged to join in and to get the most out of it. Often, the separate tables, made up of between 4 to 6 of us, were given tasks to work out together, and then to present to the rest of the room. I can’t think of a quicker or better way to learn. We covered both the Maths and English parts  of the exam, as well as verbal and non-verbal reasoning and interview techniques. Respect to the 11 year olds who take it. It’s no breeze! All in all, a brilliant and effective  one-day course, full of takeaway tools and  wisdom. Thank you, Tutorfair team.?
