ChaptersTransferring Photos from an iPhone to a ComputerTransferring Photos from an Android Phone to a ComputerTransferring Photos Onto a Computer from a CameraTransferring Photos from a Peripheral Device“Computers have memory but they don’t have memories.” - AnonymousPhotos and computers have developed quite the relationship in recent years. Images are everywhere, screens are covered in them, photos are shared en masse on social media, and we all take part in sharing them.  So while most of us have a TV, computer ownership isn’t far behind.Nearly 90% of households in the UK have a computer. This means that there’s a lot of interest when it comes to looking at images on smaller screens.So depending on your storage device, how do you transfer photos from your camera or phone onto your computer or tablet?In this article, we'll look at how to transfer photos from a photo library on a device or camera roll to iOS devices or Windows PC.Isn’t it amazing?You just need a WiFi con nection to transfer several photos onto your computer. You can also use a version with QR codes if your WiFi is acting up.  This is a useful tool for managing your photos and you can get it on Google Play (and the App Store).To get the most out of your storage, consider reducing the size of your image files.Transferring Photos Onto a Computer from a CameraDigital cameras or smartphones can be used to take photos. Whether it’s a family photograph or an art project, you’ll probably want a copy on your computer. Of course, you can do all of this thanks to technology.Transferring photos from a camera is very simple. (Source: TheAngryTeddy)Via a Memory CardMost digital devices have a removable memory card. These objects are where all your photos are usually saved. Memory cards come with different capacities which allow you to store more photos.  When this memory card is full, you might want to transfer some of your photos onto your computer to free up space on the camera.Whether youâ €™re using a Windows or a Mac, you just need to remove the memory card, put it into the port on your computer. Some computers, however, like the MacBook Air, don’t have a memory card slot.  In this case, you’ll need to get a USB adapter, which you can get for around a tenner.Once you’ve connected your memory card, you just need to find the folder and files on your computer (using My Computer or This PC on a PC and Finder on Mac), select the files, and drag them into the folder of your choosing on your computer.You can also right-click, click on “Copy”, go into the target folder, and click “Paste”. The photos will then be copied from your memory card onto your computer.Not all file types are created equal. Learn more about converting image files.Via a USB CableIf you don’t have a memory card, you can always directly connect your camera or phone to a computer with a USB cable.  A good old USB cable will do the trick and a lot of digital cameras will probably be sold wi th one.Just like with the memory card, you just need to connect your device to the computer with the cable. You then select the photos you want and copy them over by dragging or using copy and paste.Want a more prominent subject?Learn how to blur parts of a photo.Transferring Photos from a Peripheral DeviceAll your photos mightn’t be stored on a phone or camera, you might have photos stored on an external hard disk or USB key.No matter what your setup, you can easily transfer images using a USB key or external hard disk. (Source: stux)If you want to look at your photos on a bigger screen, it’s quite simple.Whether you’re using a PC or Mac, a USB key or a hard disk, the way you transfer photos is exactly the same as we previously mentioned.You plug your device into a USB port and there you can transfer pictures like you would from a memory card. It’s very simple and if you want to plenty of photos at once, this is the way to go.In short, whatever device you’re using, transf erring photos is quite simple. If you want to share a class photo, some good memories with friends, or some snaps from your childhood, you can look at them on a bigger screen.If you need more help with photo editing or photography, you might want to consider getting help from one of the many talented tutors on Superprof.

Opportunities for Volunteer Musicians

Opportunities for Volunteer Musicians Suzy S. You’ve been practicing and taking music lessons for a while. Are you looking for your next musical challenge? Playing with other musicians is one of the quickest ways to improve, and with National Volunteer Week coming up (April 21-27, 2013), why not make a impact in your community by volunteering your talents? Here are some ideas to get you started Volunteer at events and galas Non-profit or community events always need entertainment! Often these events are for great causes, and its also an awesome way to get your name out there, network, and find new fans! If youre already part of a group or band, try reaching out to specific organizations and expressing your interest in helping out. Better yet, why not organize your own benefit concert? Volunteer with specific organizations There are tons of organizations and non-profits that deal specifically with the music industry and music education. The San Diego Music Foundation, for example, coordinates several events throughout the year that require volunteer help. Their Guitars for Schools program provides Taylor guitars for San Diego-area elementary and middle schools for use in classroom and after-school music activities. Musicians on Call is another amazing program that sends volunteer musicians to hospitals and other healthcare facilities to share the power of music.  Its branches are located in New York, Nashville, Philadelphia, Miami, DC, and Los Angeles. Not in one of those major cities? Not to worry. VolunteerMatch.org is an awesome resource for finding organizations in your area that are looking for help! Volunteer directly at hospitals or nursing homes Music is used as a therapeutic tool in many hospitals and nursing homes across the country. Try contacting your local hospital to see if theyre accepting volunteer musicians. Opportunities at hospitals can range from performing to actually teaching music to patients. If youre considering music therapy as a career path, try looking into internship positions, also! Volunteer at festivals and concerts Even if you dont play an instrument, music fans can get involved with the community by volunteering at music festivals and concerts. If youre interested in music promotions or event planning, you can learn a lot about this important part of the music industry, as well as connect with other music lovers! Church groups Music is a huge part of many different religions, incorporated into worship services, religious ceremonies, and of course, weddings and funerals. Check with your congregation to see if there are opportunities to perform and help out. Piano and guitar are perhaps the most popular instruments found here, but solo opportunities exist for practically any musician, depending on your communitys style. Interested in Private Lessons?

French Grammar Rules Your Guide to Verb Tenses

French Grammar Rules Your Guide to Verb Tenses Suzy S. French verbs throwing you for a loop? French tutor  Carol Beth L.  breaks down the differences between the most common verb tenses youll study in French class French verbs can be a difficult aspect of  learning French for many students â€" but it doesnt have to be. If you can mentally organize what kinds of verbs are out there and when to use them, learning French grammar will be much easier to do. Here are the most common tenses studied in typical French grammar classes: Check out our Ultimate French Verb Guide to learn more! 1) Le Présent (The Present Tense) This tense grammatically corresponds to the English simple present, e.g. “I do,” “he goes,” “we eat.” In English, this tense is used to talk about states of being and regular, repeated actions that are in or include the present time. Le present in French often plays this role, but it also plays a role similar to the present perfect in English Jy vais for “I am going (there)” or Je mange maintenant for “I am eating now.” 2) Le Passé Composé (The Past Tense) This tense usually corresponds to the simple past in English.  It describes one-time events and actions, or things for which a definite time or time period can be defined. Je suis allé(e) au parc.   I went to the park. Jai fait mes devoirs hier soir.   I did my homework last night. 3) Limparfait (The Imperfect Tense) The imperfect tense is also in the past, but unlike the passé composé, it describes events that happened repeatedly or over a long period of time. Jallais au parc tous les jours.  I went/used to go to the park every day. Elles étudiaient a luniversité pendant quatre ans.   They studied at the university for four years. Do not use limparfait in reference to an action to which you attach any description or reference to a specific time, such as an hour, year, month, week, or other time reference like yesterday, today, or tomorrow. 4) Le futur  (The Future Tense) This tense corresponds fairly well to the English future tense, formed with the modal “will” plus the verbal root. It describes events that have not yet taken place but are expected to occur. Jirai en France la semaine prochaine.   I will go to France next week. On mangera ensemble.   We will eat together. 5) Le conditionnel  (The Conditional Tense) The conditionnel  describes actions or events whose occurrence depends (or would have depended) on something else. The “if” is key here. If there is no condition (provided by the “if” clause), there is no conditional in the other half of the sentence, either. You may see the conditional tense use in the present (e.g. I would do something if something were different) or the past (e.g. I would have done this same something in the past if something were different). The other part of the sentence usually uses limparfait. Present Conditional: Je viendrais a la plage si mes amies voulaient venir.  I would go to the beach if my friends wanted to come. Je mangerais la pomme si elle était mure.  I would eat the apple if it were ripe. Past Conditional: Je serais venu(e) a la plage si mes amies auraient voulu venir.  I would have gone to the beach if my friends had wanted to come. Jaurais mangé la pomme si elle avait ete mure.  I would have eaten the apple it if had been ripe. 6) Le subjonctif (The Subjunctive Tense) This is notoriously one of the most difficult tenses for native English-speakers to learn. We do technically have the subjunctive in English, but we dont use it much. Le subjonctif is used at times when the topic at hand is clouded or influenced by emotion. If you see the word qu introducing the sentences dependent clause, that is a signal that you likely need to use le subjonctif. Je souhaite quil vienne avec moi. I wish him to come with me. Nous voulons que vous partiez. We want you to leave. On aimerait quils attendent. We would like them to wait. Be careful not to assume that que always implies le subjonctif, however. If the topic at hand is of definite certainty, le subjonctif is not called for. For example: Cest vrai quon est allé en France cet été.   It is true that we went to France this summer. 7) Le passé simple (The Simple Past or Preterite) Le passé simple is a literary past tense in French. It used to be found more often in common speech, but for about the last century or so, it has more frequently been used in fiction. In modern times, some writers have begun to prefer more colloquial verb tenses found in everyday spoken language. Unless you plan to write fiction in French, recognition is more important. If you can recognize the passé simple of the most irregular French verbs (which are also the most common), then you will likely also be able to recognize other regular verbs based on their roots. Les étudiants parlèrent de leurs idées philosophiques.  The students spoke of their philosophical ideas. Elle vit son frère lapprocher.   She saw her brother approaching. These are the primary verb tenses you will encounter in your study of French  grammar. You may see what appear to be combinations or re-combinations of these tenses as part of the pluparfait (past of the past), passé antérieur (literary pluparfait), or Frenchs other complex tenses. French grammar also has a unique grouping of verbs called reflexive verbs that require special attention, especially when it comes to gender agreement. Mastering the seven tenses above, however, will greatly increase your proficiency and provide you with verbal functionality in the French language.

GRE Quantitative Section Geometry

GRE Quantitative Section Geometry GRE/MAT Graduate School Blog The Quantitative Reasoning section of the GRE measures your basic mathematical skills, as well as your understanding of basic mathematical concepts pertaining to arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis. Furthermore, the Quantitative Reasoning section measures your ability to reason mathematically, and to solve mathematical problems based on analyzing and evaluating information presented to you in the problem. Now that you know what to expect on the GRE Quantitative section, you shouldn’t panic about the content that you‘ll encounter; you have seen this material before. Remember, the problems you see in this section are based on a high school math and statistics course, which you’ve probably already taken if you are preparing for the GRE exam. So, how can you score well on the GRE Quantitative section? Reviewing basic mathematical formulas, rules, and equations should be your starting point. In this series of blog articles, we’ll review basic formulas, rules, and concepts for arithmetics, algebra, geometry, and data analysis you should be familiar with in order to tackle the GRE Quantitative section. We’ll also review strategies to tackle these questions, as well as a practice problem so that you can see how to apply the strategy. In this blog article, we’ll be focusing on geometry formulas, rules, concepts, as well as the kinds of geometry problems you should expect to see on the GRE Quantitative exam. In the next blog article, we will discuss strategies on how to approach GRE Geometry questions, as well as solve some practice problem so that you have an understanding of how to apply the strategies. GRE GEOMETRY DIGEST As mentioned earlier, geometry is one of the four math subjects that you will be tested on in the GRE exam. Most of the GRE Geometry problems are centered on parallel and perpendicular lines, circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, other polygons, congruent and similar figures, three-dimensional figures, area, perimeter, volume, the Pythagorean theorem, and angle measurement in degrees. That’s a lot! So how can you know what to do to correctly interpret, analyze, and solve a geometry problem? First, you should familiarize yourself with all of the basic geometry formulas and rules. Lines and Angles When two lines intersect at a point, they form four angles, each of which has the same vertex. In the figure, the two lines that are shown are line LK, and line HG, and the vertex, or where the lines intersect, is point P. Angles KPH and GPL are called opposite angles. Opposite angles have equal measures, thus making them congruent angles. Lines that intersect and form four congruent angles are called perpendicular lines. Each of the four angles are 90 degrees. Angles that are 90 degrees are called right angles. The small square at the vertex of the perpendicular lines indicates that the angle is a 90 degree angle. Two lines that don’t intersect are calledparallel lines. The adjacent figure shows two parallel lines, l1 and l2, that areintersected by a third line, l3, forming eight angles. Note that all the x angles are all congruent angles, thus they all have the same degree measure. All the y angles are also congruent angles and have the same degree measure. Another thing to note is that when you add angle x and angle y, they total 180 degrees. An angle that measures less than 90 degrees is called an acute angle. An angle that measures more than 90 degrees is called an obtuse angle. An angle that measures 180 degrees is called a straight angle. Polygons A polygon is a shape with three or more sides. Each corner where two sides meet is called a vertex. Included below is adiagram illustrating different kinds of polygons. Note that the triangle is the simplest polygon, and that you can divide polygons with more than three sides into triangles. A quadrilateral (4 sides) can be divided into 2 triangles. A pentagon (5 sides) can be divided into 3 triangles. A hexagon (6 sides) can be divided into 4 triangles. Or, in other words, a polygon with n sides can be divided into (n-2) triangles. To determine the sum of the measure of each interior angle of an n-sided polygon, you can use the following equation: (n-2)*(180). For example, the sum of interior angles in a quadrilateral is (n=4) ? (4-2)*(180) = 360 degrees. The sum of interior angles in a decagon is (n=10) ? (10-2)*(180) = 1440 degrees. A polygon in which all of the sides and all of the angles are congruent is called a regular polygon. The perimeter of a polygon is the sum total of the lengths of its sides. The area of a polygon refers to the area of the region enclosed by the polygon. Triangles Every triangle has three sides, and three angles which add up to 180 degrees. An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three angles of the triangle are equal. In other words, all three angles are 60 degrees. An isosceles triangle is a triangle in which two of the three angles of the triangle are equal. A scalene triangle is a triangle in which none of the angles are equal to each other. In any triangle, the longest side is always directly opposite the largest angle. Take for instance the hypotenuse of a triangle; the hypotenuse is the longest side of a triangle and is always opposite the largest angle in a triangle. In the image below, the hypotenuse is opposite a right angle (the largest angle). The same logic applies for small sides; the smallest side is always directly opposite the smallest angle. The triangle inequality rule is a rule that you’ll surely encounter on the GRE math section. The rule states that the length of one side of a triangle is less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides and greater than the difference of the lengths of the other two sides. The Pythagorean Theorem is a rule that applies only to right angle triangles. The rule states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two legs. That is c2=a2 + b2 where c is always the hypotenuse, and a and b are always the lengths of the other two legs of the triangle. Quadrilaterals Quadrilaterals are four-sided figures with four angles that add up to 360 degrees. In other words, squares, rectangles, and parallelograms are all quadrilaterals. To find the perimeter of a quadrilateral, simply add up the lengths of all four sides. To find the area of a quadrilateral, multiply its width by its length. (To find the area of a parallelogram, make sure to multiply the base by the height of the figure, and not by the side length). Circles Circles come up pretty often on the GRE Math section. Here’s what you need to know about circles: A chord a line that connects to points on the circumference of a circle. The radius is a line that extends from the center of a circle to a point on the circumference of a circle. The diameter is a line that connects two points on the circumference of a circle and also passes through the center of the circle. Thus, the diameter is both a chord and twice the length of the radius. The radius is not a chord. The circumference of a circle is simply the perimeter of a circle, or the distance around a circle. To find the circumference of a circle use the following formula: circumference = 2r?? or d?? where r is the radius and d is the diameter. The formula to find the area of a circle is area =??r2 One thing that the GRE test writers like to do is inscribe objects within another object. For example, you might encounter a triangle inscribed in a circle, or a circle inscribed in a polygon, or a circle inscribed another circle (aka concentric circles). There are a couple of things you should know about inscribed figures: The area of a figure inscribed within another figure will not exceed the area of the surrounding figure. If a right triangle is inscribed within a circle, the hypotenuse of the triangle is equal to the diameter of a circle. Now that you have refamiliarized yourself with the basic geometry formulas and rules, you are all set to tackle the Math section of the GRE. The key to correctly answering the questions on the GRE Math section involves drawing connections between the geometry question and the fundamental geometry concepts and formulas you’ve just reviewed. The more connections you are able to draw, the better shape you’ll be in to correctly solve the question. In the next blog post, we’ll focus on answering a few geometry questions by drawing connections to the fundamental geometry principles you’ve just reviewed.
