![]() Such large quantities of baking soda are simply not used by Norwegians. I would say the variety of dairy products is much wider than is available in the UK, and probably in the US, too.įWIW, that kind of baking soda is not a simple, everyday item here. Within the last ten years, the number of milk suppliers has double to two, and the number of dairy products has increased quite a bit because of the increased competition (this also contributed to the butter crisis). Before treating the body, morticians would remove the brain and many vital organs. ![]() ![]() Around 1500 B.C., the art of mummification reached its peak. Recently, another brand of frozen pizza became available, so now there's five different brands you can buy. In the beginning, preparers would simply treat the body by covering it with a natural salt, called natron (baking soda), to help dry it out, and then wrap it in bandages soaked in a type of resin. That said, things have been opening up a bit more. Often, there is only one brand for a particular product - take it or leave it. (Other uses: as a freely available antacid, and as a fridge deodorant. However it is only one component: baking powder also needs an acid to react with it. If, on the other hand, you're quite happy to use the Norwegian equivalent, or do things the Norwegian way, then you'll do fine.ĭon't expect, however, to have as much brand-choice in Norway as exists in the US. Natron (Natriumhydrogencarbonat) is sodium bicarbonate: this has numerous uses, one of which is as one component of baking powder. If you simply must have your favourite brand of whatever, and are not willing to compromise and use another brand, then yes, you will find it both difficult and expensive to live here.

There’s no question he’s changing the way education works.īut Khan laments that today most companies “have formal training programs that mirror traditional academic models,” and they’re making the same mistakes schools did. Many of them are “filling gaps” in schools using his bite-size learning method. Today Khan Academy has half a million registered teachers. And the model for the Khan Academy was born. She was a thousand miles away, so Khan filled her gaps with short video tutorials. Khan proved this model back in 2004 when he created his first video tutorials for his niece, a seventh-grader who'd been excluded from the advanced math track. ![]() The key to successful education is to coach that lost kid, fill in his “gaps,” and get him to achieve mastery of long division before letting him move on to the next thing. It never made sense to Khan that the kid who’d already figured out long division had to listen to the same math lecture as the kid who was totally lost. Which means what Khan calls “the Prussian model” for teaching kids never really worked, and neither does the classroom-style “sage-on-the-stage” model that currently dominates corporate training. Khan’s evangelism about putting the manager at the center of organizational learning is anchored in a driving principle that spawned the Khan Academy and sustains it today: People don’t all learn at the same pace. I haven’t seen this happening at a hedge fund before.’ “ That time spent teaching, after all, was time not spent getting stuff done. One day his boss noticed and Khan’s first reaction was to apologize. So Khan, being Khan, created a series of micro lectures on video. “But they didn’t understand the basics of reading a financial statement.” “They were from top Ivy League schools with 4.0 GPAs in economics,” he recalls. Interesting story: When Khan worked as a senior analyst at a hedge fund before founding Khan Academy, the firm hired some junior analysts. |
