 In the video short, workplace mathematics / pharmacist, Sofia Wong discussed attending Walgreen
 primary school, then attended the University of Manchester to get her pharmacist degree. I took her
 four years to finish, plus one year of pre requisite training. Sofia went down the science route but
 was originally very interested in art. Interestingly, Math was not her strong point but she successfully
 completed those course requirements When Sofia completed her Pre requisite exam,she could not
 use calculators Poonam Aggarwal, a pharmacist, shows how to use a Pascal's triangle to count out
 medication. She counts 15 tablets then explains the numbers and how many rows you should have in
 each row to get the number of tablets you want. Sofia explains how math is more widely used in the
 industrial sector because of figuring weight and mass of a human is required to get the right dosage.
 She explained that everyday you fill prescriptions and have to figure out the quantities and dosages to
 ensure dosage is not too powerful or not sufficient enough. Sophia also explains how antibiotics can
 come in a powder form and how one must use math to figure out how much liquid should be added to get
 the correct dosage. Sofia Wong wraps up the video by discussing how valuable math is
 and how going to a good school put her in the position she is in now.

Informational Interview with Civil and Criminal Defense Lawyer

By
I conducted an informational interview with a Civil and Criminal defense lawyer in New York City. He has been associated with this profession since twenty five years. He spends most of his time dealing cases in Kings County.   ·                      What types of criminal defense matters do you handle? The first case that I dealt in court was an arson case. On average, I handle about 2 homicide cases per year. Most common cases are drug cases and white collar crime . I have also handled thousands of DUIs (Driving under the Influence) and a handful of sex crimes over the years. I handle both misdemeanors and felonies. ·                      Can you tell me about a typical day on the job? There is no such thing as an average day for an attorney, you might spend whole day...

The Benefits of Having Your Visions/Goals Outlined

By
 We all remember creating some sort of vision board as a project for a class in either elementary school or middle school, and at that time, we either saw it as something fun and exciting to do, or just another stressful homework/project. As we get older, things similar to a vision board/creating outlines for things we want to accomplish become essential for our everyday lifestyle, and our long term goals. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of having a plan/schedule or outline for everyday life, as well as long term goals. 1.
