Achieve3000:Something is unfair about this school program?
Yeah.. I have a problem with all these competitions. They motivate some students, like you, but others get discouraged because they know they can't win, so they stop trying. The reward for reading should be reading. All the research shows that letting students choose books and read for pleasure is what pays off the most. But the schools just can't stand to leave it alone! They have to give you tests and put in external rewards. Now, for your particular problem, this is an issue. Any reward based on improvement is a little unfair to the people who start near the top (ask the teachers who are now being evaluated on improvement). HOWEVER- it's very possible for a 9th grader to have a higher reading level. My daughter had a 9th grade reading level when she was in the 5th grade. Many 9th graders read at the 11th or 12th grade level. So it's perfectly possible for you to win.
Worried I won't be a good teacher? Help!?
I'm going into my junior year of university studying elementary education. I'm so scared I won't be able to teach well. I don't know how teachers remember everything to teach about all day. Making sure all the lessons meet standards. Even though I took the classes that taught about teaching the standards I really didn't understand it and I don't think I will until I actually go and do it myself for my class. Will student teaching help me? I taught in an afterschool program as field experience but it wasn't really a lot of planning I had to do. How do teachers do it?
What should I know in order to be able to achieve an 1800+ rating at chess?
This is actually a tough question to answer, in a way. To me personally, Chess strength arrives from a combination of knowledge, skills and motivation. On knowledge , I would suggest having a reasonable opening repertoire ( not GM deep or anything but enough to get through the opening without walking into a trap on move 4 ). Regarding the middlegame, I would suggest studying all kinds of different pawn structures and look for the plans that tend to materialize when grandmasters are handling the position. Examples include the Isolated Queen Pawn positions, Botvinnik structure, Italian game stuff etc.. The vast majority of the time, one can come up with the correct middlegame plan by reading the pawn structure. Regarding the endgame, I'm fairly lousy at it personally ( so is most of the "Internet-Chess playin generation" ) but basic things to know are the Philidor Position, Lucena Position , Rook vs Knight etc.. ( Silman's Complete Endgame course is a reasonable book for this subject).
HELP ME! PLEASE! SUMMARIZING!?

Can i get detention for saying hell in school?
You probably could because hell can be used as bad word. Someone even got in trouble before for using that word in a religious matter.

How do I consume 3000 calories a day while working a 9-5 desk job? I am 5′10 and 145 pounds. My goal is muscle gain, and I work out 4 times a week from 7 to 8pm. It’s hard to consume multiple meals with a desk job.
I’ve been in your situation and I feel your pain. It’s hard to keep eating when you work a desk job.The best way for you to manage is to split your calorie goal over three or four LARGE meals per day, instead of trying to do 7 or 8 mid to small size ones.If your goal is 3000 calories a day, you’re looking at consuming 750 calories per meal. I have no idea if you have particular food allergies or intolerances, but I’ll assume you don’t in the examples below. Also assuming you’re an omnivore (and so you can eat meat, fish, dairy, eggs, etc.). Here’s a sample meal plan.Breakfast (around 7 AM) - Chocolate Mocha Smoothie1 cup milk - 150 cals1 cup egg whites - 100 cals1 tbsp Peanut Butter - 200 cals2/3 cup dry oats - 200 cals1 scoop chocolate protein powder - 120 cals1 teaspoon coffee powder, for flavorTotal - approx 770 cals (and plenty of protein, you can calculate on myfitnesspal.com)Lunch (around 12 PM)200 g of cooked rice - 250 cals150 g of grilled chicken - 200 calsGrilled potatoes, beans, carrots, brocolli - 200 cals (the majority of the calories are from the potatoes)1 cup of flavored greek yoghurt - 80 calsTotal - 730 calsEvening Meal (around 4–5 PM, maybe your preworkout meal if you train around 6:30 PM)1 cup of cottage cheese - 130 cals1 handful of almonds - 160 cals3 slices of bread - 210 cals1 tbsp of peanut butter - 200 calsTotal - 700 calsPost Workout1 scoop protein powder - 120 cals1 fruit - 100 cals (could be apple, orange, banana, etc.)Total 22o calsDinner - Post Workout - 8 or 9PM150 g of grilled fish/chicken - 200 cals200 g of grilled vegetables including sweet potato or yams or potato - 200 cals1 cup of flavored greek yoghurt - 80 calsTotal 480 cals.Total consumed in the day - 2900 calories.Getting to 3000 should be a cinch, just add 100 calories anywhere you like, either in the form of an additional piece of fruit, or a scoop of protein, or two small eggs, etc.If you find it tiresome to chew so much food, then consider using two shakes instead of just one (for breakfast). It just takes a little creativity and ingenuity.Good luck.
What are your thoughts on Kendrick Lamar being awarded a Pulitzer?
Many today hold the perception that Hip Hop is an odious, hopelessly unsophisticated genre by which performers mindlessly drivel profane and offensive words into a microphone.In some powerful circles, it is the sight of scorn, and thus relegated to a second-class status. It is no coincidence that just 1 Hip Hop album has been awarded the Grammy’s Album of The Year Award in the 21st century. The genre, at least was, under a sort of glass ceiling. It has to be the utmost spectacular and popular for the widespread acclaim and accolades it rarely gets.DAMN. being awarded with a Pulitzer was surprising. Though I was very quietly over the moon for this moment, as it is indicative of the increasing admission that Hip Hop is a reputable art-form, their choice was puzzling.This is a publication that has only ever pedestaled Classical and Jazz Music. Such a 180 from obscure, quintessential grandpa music, to unanimously rewarding a multi-platinum selling rapper’s most accessible release to date, of all things, was completely unanticipated. Especially when his last release, To Pimp A Butterfly, was not only superior, but seemingly more consistent with their stylistic preferences and flowery description of “a virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African-American life.”.And can we mention Kendrick Lamar for a second?He is not just a rapper or the backhanded compliment of good for a rapper. From discography, musicianship, to accolades, we may be talking about the greatest and most consistent musician on Earth at the moment. One of few virtuosos in the entire landscape of popular music.What do you think?
