EducationBest Math Trick I've Ever Learned by Eazybay(op): 6:11am On Nov 29, 2018
Ever tried calculating your % share in a deal without using a calculator? It could get really messy and confusing. So here's the trick... Reverse your percentage calculations.

For example, without using a calculator, please tell me, how much is 8 % of 50?
You’re probably thinking, 8/100 x 50. Try to cancel out and then you have 8/10 x 5. Before you do 8 x 5 ÷ 10. Which gives us 4.

Now let's use the reverse percentage trick.

8% of 50 is the same as 50% of 8!
Using the reverse percentage, many of us already know 50% is equal to 1/2. So 50% of 8 is simply 1/2 x 8.
It’s exactly 4.

I didn’t use my calculator.

It holds true for all numbers. Go ahead, try a few.
80 % of 50?
30 % of 25?
In some cases it greatly simplifies the calculation or makes it easier to approximate the result.
Yes, it works with numbers greater than 100. For example, 5 % of 2000 is the same as 2000 % of 5 (20 x 5).

QED.

EducationSnowflake Students Replace The Word 'women' With 'WOMXN' - Daily Mail UK by Eazybay(op): 8:15am On Nov 28, 2018
Students at Goldsmiths University in London have dropped the word 'woman'
The gender noun has been outlawed in some circles as non-inclusive, as feminists suggest the word alone suggests reliance upon males
Instead students involved with the Goldsmiths Union will use the word 'womxn'
The Student Union at Goldsmiths said they are aiming to be 'more inclusive'

By ZOIE O'BRIEN FOR MAILONLINE
PUBLISHED: 21:08 GMT, 26 November 2018 | UPDATED: 00:31 GMT, 27 November 2018

University students are refusing to use the words 'woman' and 'women' because they have been deemed 'offensive' and include the word 'man'.
Instead, members of the female sex are being referred to as 'womxn' by students at both Goldsmiths, University of Londonand Kings College London.
At Goldsmiths, the Students Union has ceased to use the words women and woman in its publications, since 'womxn' has been deemed more 'inclusive' of all students, including those who identify as transgender.

Elsewhere in the city, societies including the 'KCL Womxn in Physics' club at King's College are also using the word.
Posts on social media pages run by the Goldsmiths Student Union have advertised 'womxn's yoga' and 'womxn's events' over the last six weeks, although there was no official announcement regarding the decision.
The last time the term 'women' was used on the official Goldsmith Students Union Facebook was October 12, as an event for 'Black Women in Academia' was advertised.
The word 'womxn' on Urban Dictionary is described as: 'A spelling of "women" that is a more progressive term that not only sheds light on the prejudice, discrimination, and institutional barriers womxn have faced, but to also show that womxn are not the extension of men (as hinted by the classic Bible story of ) but their own free and separate entities. More intersectional than because it includes trans-women and women of color.'

Womxn's yoga was advertised by the students union as they began to use the word to replace 'women' and 'woman'

Goldsmiths University in South London has not changed its official policy but the Students' Union has.


Rejection of the word 'woman' dates back to the Seventies when the word 'womyn' was adopted by feminists to delete the word 'man' .
It was believed the original noun made females seem inherently reliant on man.

However, 'womyn' was controversial because it was seen as being associated with white, cisgender (a person whose gender identity matches their sex at birth) feminism. In recent years, the term 'womxn' has been used instead. The word 'womxn' caused controversy earlier this year when a feminist organisation sponsored by fashion brand H&M used the word 15 times in an email. Some black and trans women said they were furious people decided they needed a new word to include them - because they are women.

Student groups at King's College in London also replaced the word 'women' with 'womxn'
Others said they were simply confused about how to say it.
Times reporter Lucy Bannerman asked: 'P.S how do you say it in PR meetings? Woomksn? Wombskin? Womixen?'
The word 'womxn' has caused widespread debate over whether not it is inclusive of divisive.
Journalist Rebecca Reid trans women are 'held responsible for this pseudo woke erasure of the female experience'.
A spokeswoman for the Goldmsmiths Student Union said: 'Womxn is used to demonstrate our commitment to inclusiveness. No student has complained about its use.'
The universities and the unions are separately governed and the universities say they have no plans to scrap the words.

EducationMeet The Rebel Who Revolutionized American Spellings. - Wikipedia by Eazybay(op): 6:53am On Nov 28, 2018
In 1806, American Noah Webster published his first dictionary, A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language. In 1807 Webster began compiling an expanded and fully comprehensive dictionary, An American Dictionary of the English Language; it took twenty-seven years to complete. To evaluate the etymology of words, Webster learned twenty-six languages, including Old English (Anglo-Saxon), German, Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Arabic, and Sanskrit.

Webster completed his dictionary during his year abroad in 1825 in Paris, France, and at the University of Cambridge. His book contained seventy thousand words, of which twelve thousand had never appeared in a published dictionary before. As a spelling reformer, Webster believed that English spelling rules were unnecessarily complex, so his dictionary introduced American English spellings, replacing "colour" with "color", substituting "wagon" for "waggon", and printing "center" instead of "centre". He also added American words, like "skunk" and "squash", that did not appear in British dictionaries. At the age of seventy, Webster published his dictionary in 1828; it sold 2500 copies. In 1840, the second edition was published in two volumes.

EducationUse These Spelling Tricks From The 2017 National Spelling Bee Champion by Eazybay(op): 8:18am On Nov 26, 2018
“The important thing to know about spelling is that it’s not just rote memorization,” says Ananya Vinay, champion of the 2017 Scripps National Spelling Bee, who will ceremonially open this year’s bee next week. While Vinay uses flashcards to study specific words, she says the real trick is learning where different words come from.

English spelling is mostly ambiguous because it borrows words from so many other languages. Each of those languages has more reliable spelling rules. So to spell a word, you want to know its origin. (In the bee, contestants may request a word’s origin, as well as its definition, part of speech, and use in a sentence.)


Most of the time that origin is Latin or Greek. Those two languages make up 60% of English, says Vinay. When you know a word is Latinate, you know to look out for doubled consonants near the beginning of the word. Italian, the modern language closest to Latin, also uses double letters; Vinay loves the word cappuccino.

French comes with surprising silent letters, like the t in escargot, or the z in assoilzie, a word meaning “absolve or acquit” that went from French to Scottish to English while still sounding like a French word: “ah-soil-ee.”

German has its own quirks: A sh sound in a germanic word might be spelled sch, and German is behind English’s infuriating “I before E” rules: In German, ie and ei always mean two different sounds. One helpful mnemonic (which we didn’t get from 13-year-old Vinay) is that wein rhymes with wine, and bier is just like beer.


English words with Asian origins are mercifully phonetic, as are Spanish words. Some anglicized vowel sounds might trip you up, but you’re less likely to run into silent letters.

Vinay uses study app Quizlet (whose representative put us in touch with Vinay) to go through her flashcards. She’s released two study sets for beginners and for advanced spellers on the site. (Previous Scripps champions can’t compete again, so now Vinay coaches her school’s team.) She likes sorting her words into lists of specific language origins. The app tracks her mistakes so she can come back to problem words. “I could do 600 words in an hour if I wanted to,” she tells us.

Why learn spelling when your computer can do it for you with dotted red lines? Because learning about words and languages means learning history and mythology: Vinay excitedly tells Lifehacker about Latinate words like “narcissist,” named after the tragic son of a nymph and a river god who fell in love with his own reflection and drowned.


Vinay says spelling has helped her in other studies and academic competitions, like debate and history classes. In the Science Bowl, she can identify names of minerals, chemicals, or species by recognizing the root words. She can see the connections between concepts, and how those concepts spread and evolved. Spelling isn’t trivia—it’s a record of human history

EducationHere's 23 Easily Misspelled Words According To Oxford Dictionary by Eazybay(op): 6:26am On Nov 26, 2018
23 Difficult Words To Spell.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, here's a list of words easily misspelled

1. weird (wierd)
Breaking everyone’s favourite spelling rule – ‘i’ before ‘e’ except after ‘c’ – the word weird is, well, weird.

2. accommodate (acommodate, accomodate)
The easiest way to remember the two double letter pairings in accommodate is to remember that this word ‘accommodates’ a lot of letters.

3. handkerchief (hankerchief)
The lurking ‘d’ in handkerchief can be remembered by thinking about the fact that these squares of nose-blowing cloth fit in one’s hand. Don’t get confused by the shortened hanky! (Nor should you try adding a ‘d’ in there: handky is far from correct.)

4. indict (indite)
The silence ‘c’ in indict (and related words indictment, indictable, etc.) baffles lots of people, both in its spelling and its pronunciation.

5. cemetery (cemetary)
Though many are tempted, there is no ‘a’ in cemetery. You might contrast the word with graveyard, which has two ‘a’s.

6. conscience (conscence, conscious)
The first step is to avoid confusing conscience – a person’s moral sense of right and wrong (noun) – and conscious – aware and responding to one’s surroundings (adjective). Once you clear that hurdle, you need to make sure that ‘science’ makes an appearance in your spelling.

7. rhythm (rythm, rhythym, etc.)
This notorious word boasts only a single vowel – and ‘y’, at that! – plus a couple of ‘h’s running amok. The related word rhyme is only slightly easier.

8. playwright (playwrite)
Even though playwrights do write, the ‘wright’ in this word actually refers to a builder, as in similar words like shipwright. You can remember this by thinking of a playwright as someone who ‘builds’ a theatre experience.

9. embarrass (embarass, embaress)
This word unequivocally demonstrates that language has a sense of humour. Why else make the word embarrass embarrassingly difficult to spell?

10. millennium (millenium)
The incorrect spelling of millennium with only a single ‘n’ is very common, possibly because similar words, such as millenarian and millenary, follow this single ‘n’ pattern. When you’re talking about the ‘millennial’ generation, take to care to keep that second ‘n’ in there.

11. pharaoh (pharoh)
Given the world’s fascination with ancient Egypt, you’d think that the word for their rulers wouldn’t present such a problem, but the sneaky ‘ao’ in the second syllable is a tricky one.

12. liaison (liason)
Both liaison and liaise boast that tricky triple vowel, a gift from French.

13. convalesce (convalece)
The -sce ending in convalesce is a spelling difficulty that crops in several English words that have a Latin origin, including acquiesce, coalesce, and incandesce.

14. supersede (supercede)
Derived from the Latin word supersedere, this word is frequently misspelled as supercede thanks to the influence of words like accede and intercede.

15. ecstasy (ecstacy)
Ecstasy may turn to despair when you realize that you’ve assumed that the ‘c’ at the start of ecstasy makes a later reappearance.

16. Caribbean (Carribean, Caribean)
The Caribbean tropics may seem slightly less alluring once you realize how much trouble you have spelling this name.

17. harass (harrass)
While harass may have two different pronunciations, it doesn’t have two r’s!

18. maintenance (maintainence)
Although maintenance often implies the maintaining of something, the word does not have maintain in it.

19. pronunciation (pronounciation)
Even though the verb form of this word is pronounce, the noun – pronunciation – does not have that ‘o’ in the middle. Before writing the word out, you might try saying both pronunciation and pronounce out loud and hear the difference yourself.

20. Arctic (Artic)
Although the pronunciation without the ‘c’ sound is considered acceptable, the spelling still requires that the ‘c’ be present. (The same goes for Antarctica.)

21. occurred (ocurred, occured)
Make sure that you double both the ‘c’ and the ‘r’ when you use the past tense of occur! Many verbs ending in a single ‘r’ will take a double ‘r’ in the past tense, such as recur, blur, and refer.

22. recommend (reccommend, reccomend)
Another double-letter kerfuffle, recommend might seem as though it deserves a second ‘c’, but the word only has one.

23. deductible (deductable)
This word is one of many examples of -ibles and -ables that may easily be confused. Check out ‘Words ending in -able or -ible’ for help on figuring these.

Education9 Year Old Emilia Mccarthy Wins 2018 NSW Premier's Spelling Bee by Eazybay(op): 5:13am On Nov 25, 2018
Etymology, irredeemable, and enthusiasm were just a few of the words Emilia McCarthy, aged nine, successfully spelled at the 2018 NSW Premier’s Spelling Bee, securing her win in the junior division.

The Year 4 student from Glenmore Park Public School was among 100 junior and senior finalists from across the state that went letter-to-letter at the Premier’s Spelling Bee earlier this month.

Over 170,000 Year 3 to 6 students from almost 1,000 public schools participated. Year 5 student Fatimah Abid also represented the school in the senior division and placed in the top 10.

State Member for Mulgoa Tanya Davies visited Glenmore Park Public School to congratulate Emilia and Fatimah on their success.

“This is a marvellous achievement for both Emilia and Fatimah. To be among the best spellers of the state requires hard work and a passion for learning,” Mrs Davies said.

“I congratulate Emilia on this extraordinary achievement of being crowned the best junior speller in NSW.”

Principal of Glenmore Park Public School, Natalie Mansour, expressed her elation over the success of the Glenmore Park Public School students at the Spelling Bee.

“We are all so proud of Emilia. Making it to the finals is fantastic, but winning… is out of this world!” she said.

Glenmore Park Public School was one of only nine schools in the state to have finalists in both the senior and junior competition.

“When I won, I can’t even explain the feeling, I couldn’t comprehend it and there’s not a word that could describe how happy I was,” Emilia said.

“My aunt, grandmother, mum, dad and sister all came to see me, they are all really proud of me.”

The Premier’s Spelling Bee was introduced as a fun and educational way for primary school students to engage in spelling. Each year the Bee has grown in popularity, with an additional 20,000 students taking part this year.

Now in its 15th year, the 2018 Premier’s Spelling Bee has seen a record participation of 170,000 students from almost 1,000 public schools across the state.

Both girls said they wish to participate again in the future.

I heard about the competition from a friend at the school cafe. I went to make some photocopies. At first, I was a bit uninterested. I just felt I should give it a try. In my mind, I was like...after all it's just 1k. So I asked her to help me register.

I have attended some competitions in the past, but I've never been required to stand on stage. This one was kinda a new experience. My major boost came after the online preliminaries. I did quite well, and I was like... maybe I can do this.

The study materials helped to improve my vocab and it was really easy to understand. I must confess I didn't really study ALL the words. Maybe I was just lucky to get questions from where I studied.

I'll be taking part in the 2019 edition cheesy cheesy Afterall I'm still eligible and the star prize is bigger this time.

InvestmentOPPORTUNITY: Why Nobody Is Talking About Freelancing by Eazybay(op): 3:41pm On Aug 09, 2018
WHY NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT FREELANCING

"53 million people freelanced in 2017. At this rate everyone will be freelancers in the next decade." Eldman Intelligence

The freelance economy is disrupting the 9-5 in 53million ways but there seems to be a conspiracy of silence in the mainstream media. As renowned companies move towards hiring freelancers, skilled individuals are abandoning traditional jobs at an alarming rate. The US workforce is turning to freelance but you won't see this in the news.

Now, let's play with some more 'wowing' facts. Freelance earnings rose by 30% in 2017 to reach an estimated $1.4 trillion! And I'm sure you know there's more where that came from. The narrative of "job security" has also changed from one job and one boss to multiple clients and jumbo pay. There's a disruption in not just the workforce but the work mentality. And that's not all.

While freelance is causing quite a stir in the employment market, crypto is redefining the financial industry. With total market captalization of crypto reaching as high as $392 bn in May 2018. The future of jobs and the future of finance is just wow!

BUT THERE ARE SOME SETBACKS
As you know, it's not all Uhuru in the world of freelance and crypto currency. But things are sure going to get better.

Certain factors have slowed down the growth of the freelance economy. These factors are:

HIRING: The process of hiring online freelancers from freelance websites is tiresome. For each new job, employers have to go through the same process of putting out bids and selection of suitable applicants.

HIGH SERVICE FEES: Existing freelance platforms charge service fees from 20% upward. This is quite high for a freelancer seeking financial freedom, and control.

BANKING SYSTEM: Freelancers require a bank to be able to cash out their earnings. Not all talented freelancers have access to banks, and this greatly limits their participation in the freelance industry.

SLOW PAYMENT: Payment is quite slow. Freelancers have to wait for a week or more after delivery for their payment.

LOYALTY: A lot of freelancers are really not loyal to a particular freelance site. Freelancers move from platform to platform in search of more jobs and increased profit.

How about Crypto?

New Crypto investors have 2 major setbacks:

NOT USER-FRIENDLY: Traditional crypto wallets are quite "cryptic" and difficult for users to understand.

MARKET VOLATILITY: The crypto market is volatile, as profits could rise and dip in a matter of minutes.

A COINBASE FREELANCE PLATFORM (LABORCRYPTO).
Gentlemen, say hello to LaborCrypto. LaborCrypto is a freelancing platform that uses blockchain technology to improve the quality of freelance services. Employers and freelancers get to work based on an efficient payment and hiring system. There is also a referral system to help employers get the best.

WHY YOU SHOULD GET ON BOARD.
LaborCrypto does not only deliver power to freelancers with the blockchain technology, it also provides huge benefits to early investors.

- Early buyers get a 50% bonus on tokens.
- Investments are estimated to appreciate to about 10x in value within the first 12months.
- Freelancers do not just receive payment for their services, they receive more in value. E.g If a freelancer receives $100 for a job, there is a huge possibility that the money could appreciate to $105 or more in a few days.

Imagine being an investor or freelancer in the world's biggest freelance platform. A platform where talents from remote parts of the world get the opportunity to excel and get paid.

With the U.S population embracing freelance en masse and the successes recorded by Crypto, this is an opportunity to be part of the future.
