Doctor Bang - Time For A Vacation

Doctor Bang - Time For A VacationDoctor Bang is back with his third collaboration with Tim Fenton, in which he brings in the creator of the hit Walking Dead comic book series, a walking dead 'comic book teacher' and a zombie 'dinosaur trainer'. Doctor Bang has taken his newest course to be a cruise to explore the New York City. He knows that he is going to encounter the few survivors of the city he is in and when he gets there, he will teach them how to survive.This time around, Dr. Bang is only a cruise guide and nothing more than that. The big difference this time around is that the aim of the tour is to have an adventure and to tell the passengers what to do. At the same time, it is just the Doctor and his guide that will come with him and at least for the first part of the adventure, the Doctor is going to be on his own. That is where it becomes tricky for the passengers as to who is teaching them and who is leading them.This is the second time that the group has been involved in a trip to New York City and this time, the group is going to meet up with some of the extra special guests. Some of the guests that have been invited to the cruise are the following: William Shatner (Star Trek), David Duchovny (Freaks and Geeks), and Rob Zombie (Night of the Living Dead). There are also some friends of the Doctor in the group as well, like Neil Patrick Harris (Avengers), Anjelica Huston (True Blood) and one or two of the cast of CSI Miami.The biggest difference is that this time around, the group is going to spend a lot of time on the water and this has caused quite a big difference in the group's chemistry. Also, the group has lost most of their supplies and they all start talking like one another and not as 'team players'. As far as things go on land, the new Captain for the trip is Edward Cleaver and this is brought about by a misunderstanding over why the cruise is going to New York City. One of the guests has been giving the group instructions and they suspect that this 'authority' may have something to do with the missing supply.The group has been to New York before and have all heard of the famous bumble bee and the different ways in which the bumble bee can get into different parts of the city. They seem to know where this individual may be but at the same time, they have questions of their own. This is because the group has not met before in person and this is making them talk as though they have just met and this is causing them to think as one unit and this can cause problems when they face some of the zombies that they encounter.Doctor Bang is a great story and he brings out the best in each of the characters in the group. One of the members of the group is Ellen, who has not much time to study the ways of the world and he has decided to take her on a cruise so that she will get out and see the world and see where she belongs. Other members include Scott, who seems to be the leader of the group, who is the type of guy that when he makes a decision, he does it his way and not in the best interests of the group. His favorite mode of transportation is the bus and he feels that he is doing the right thing.The group is not the same group from the first time that Doctor Bang took them on a cruise. There are more of the crew members, more of the passengers and this is due to changes that are taking place in the group. The story is a great one and we will surely want to see where the group ends up next. Doctor Bang, Tim Fenton and the gang have done it again and the time for a vacation may just be here for Doctor Bang and the crew of the cruise.

Understanding Your Unmotivated Student

Understanding Your Unmotivated Student You have a smart child who seemingly does not care about school. His or her grades are suffering, but he or she seems indifferent about making a changedespite the fact that your child knows that school is important. Not only does he or she not put forth an effort, your child consistently shuns responsibility, procrastinates and seems incapable of working independently. If any of this sounds like your student, you may be at a loss as to what to do. How can you help, and more importantly, how can you correct this behavior moving forward? According to Bright Minds, Poor Grades, by Dr. Michael Whitleya clinical psychologist specializing in motivational difficulties of children, adolescents and adultsunderachieving students are unlikely to change on their own. The first step for parents to help their children overcome underachievement is to identify the personality characteristics that they lackself-discipline, independence and a sense of responsibility, for exampleas well as their patterns of underachieving behavior. How can you help your child become a motivated, independent studentwhether he or she is a chronic procrastinator and or a social butterfly who considers school merely an opportunity to be with friends? Consider these tips, as derived from Dr. Whitleys 10-step program to conquer underachievement: Establish trust. Let your child know that starting immediately, you expect the truth when it comes to school and grades. In return, you must avoid nagging and long lectures. Let your child know that your motivation is to help him or her become independent at school and capable of overcoming any issues that arise. Set goals. Have your child define specific goals for each of his or her classeswhat grades does he or she want to receive? Accept your childs goals, even if the bar is set low. Have your child lay out his or her game plan. Talk with your child honestly about how he or she plans to earn the goal grades. Get a clear picture of the study schedule he or she plans to adhere to, the steps your child thinks he or she must take, and more. Persevere even if your child seems apathetic about the discussion. Note any problems. What is standing in the way of your child achieving his or her goals? Talk about your childs perspective on and attitude about those roadblocks. Ask for specific examples, but do not judgesimply gather the information. Make the connection between problems identified and goals set. Help your child see the patterns that result from certain behaviors and the relationship between problems and consequences. Develop a plan to solve the problems identified. Put your child in the drivers seat. What ideas does he or she have to fix the problems that have led him or her in the past to experience school problems? What issues might arise to steer him or her off course? Have your child set the plan of action, including detailed steps. Review the plan thus far, including decisions, successes and failures. Ask your child to reiterate the steps of the plan, the setbacks that arise when he or she does not follow through or do his or her part, and the resulting consequences. Reiterating the plan helps your child recognize how his or her own decision making leads to success or failure. Talk about it. Have your child talk through his or her feelings about the plan forward. Remind him or her to feel proud each time he or she follows through on the plan developed. It is also okay for your child to feel conflicted or even annoyed about giving up the thing he or she wants (an activity or hanging out with a friend, for example) to meet the goals of his or her plan. Ask for a final recap. Have your child restate his or her commitment to doing what he or she has agreed to do. Take the time for follow-up. Did your child do what he or she is supposed to do to avoid the problems that have ailed him or her in the past? If not, what happened? Have your child walk you through the situation step by step. If the goal is to start homework before dinner, check-in each day. What happened in between coming home from school and dinner? By following up, your child will begin to notice how his or her decisions affect his or her goal achievement. Slowly but surely, your child will learn to recognize his or her tendencies and take responsibility for them. If you suspect that your child may lack some of the skills necessary to succeed in school, it is important to address the issue right away. Your child may need targeted help to address problem areas so that he or she is capable of performing at grade level. If you need help, call Huntington to discuss our academic evaluation and one-to-one programs for students of all ages.

An Overview of the ACT Reading Test

An Overview of the ACT Reading Test ACT SAT Prep and College Admissions Blog The ACT Reading test requires you to read four short passages and answer ten multiple choice questions about each one. The time limit for this section of the ACT is 35 minutes, a little over a question a minute. Of course the 35 minutes includes the time required to read the passages, so in practice you'll need to answer around 2 questions a minute, depending on how fast you read and how thoroughly you understand the passage. Obviously, time management is of the essence. While you do not have time to dawdle, do not rush through the reading. You'll waste time re-reading the passage searching for the answers. Do lots of practice tests and be sure to time yourself. If you give yourself four minutes to read each passage, you'll be left with 19 minutes to answer questions. Perhaps you'll find while doing your practice tests that you're better off allocating 3 minutes to read each passage, leaving you with more time to answer questions. Figure out what the best time management strategy is for you, and stick to it. Bear in mind that cell phones must be turned off during the exam, so make sure you have a watch or other permitted timing device for the day of the test. Since no points are subtracted for incorrect answers, you must put down an answer to every question, even if you're only guessing. Make sure you leave yourself a minute or so at the end to guess at all the answers you were unable to fill in earlier. The test is intended to evaluate your ability to understand texts in various fields: prose fiction, social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences. The passages are always arranged in the order listed. If you have a strong preference for one of these topics over the others, begin with that one. Try to pick up the easy points first, leaving for the end any question that you cannot answer within the time you have allotted for it. The reading section of the ACT is not intended to be a vocabulary test per se; however, it does attempt to test your ability to understand vocabulary “in context,” meaning that you should be able to figure out the meaning of the words based on how they are used. Obviously, the larger your functional vocabulary, the less thinking you will have to do to figure out the meanings of words from their context. The best thing you can do to improve your vocabulary and general reading comprehension ability is read a lot. Unfortunately, not all reading materials are created equal. You're best off reading classic prose fiction, which is most likely to use unfamiliar vocabulary and style correctly. The da Vinci Code, unfortunately, doesn't qualify. Try Mark Twain or John Steinbeck. If you're looking for something more modern, perhaps you'll like Chinua Achebe, Kazuo Ishiguro, Joseph Heller or Tom Sharpe. The New Yorker magazine is another excellent source of interesting and well-written articles that are easier to digest that whole novels. The important thing is that you enjoy your reading â€" as long as you do, you will want to read more and will absorb more of what you read.

He completed his BS in chemical engineering at Berkeley and his MS and PhD at Northwestern University, after which he worked in mathematical research at a trading firm.

Eating Your Worries Away How to Stress Eat at College

Eating Your Worries Away How to Stress Eat at College pexels.com These simple sugars are a popular answer to the stress question. For some reason, no matter how many veggies you may eat in a day, when you get stressed out, your body yells BREAD BREAD BREAD! After surveying a variety of students from a variety of schools, here are the most popular bread-related answers to the stress eating question: PIZZA With so much variety made on a dough base, whats not to love? Sabrina Marell, a senior at Gettysburg College, said, I get chicken bacon ranch from Tommys because it is a good size for just one person and their chicken is really good! Meanwhile, in the same apartment, senior Sara Freed will order from another place. I get pizza delivered from Antica Napoli because it reminds me of the pizza I have at home (Long Island, NY), she said. At the University of Vermont, senior Katie Lukes chooses pizza as well, saying she eat(s) the whole thing every time. CHEESE STICKS Similar to the pizza idea but in a different shape with more focus on the cheese is the beloved cheesy bread or sticks. Gettysburg senior Sara Young said, I love the cheesy breadsticks from Dominos; they are wonderful and portable. At the same campus, senior Claire Healey chooses the strict mozzarella stick option. Kimberly Hilfrank, a Franklin Marshall College graduate, said that if she wasnt eating nachos, she was eating cheese sticks. CORNBREAD True to her southern roots, Gettysburg alum Amelia Smith said that fried cornbread was her go-to. Bread and deep-fry. Sounds good to me. SANDWICHES If you really need just straight bread, then buy a hoagie. Many places will deliver subs to your door, whether it be a local pizza joint, a Jimmy Johns, Potbelly or elsewhere. FRENCH FRIES As easily delivered as pizza, these salty sticks are easy to eat without end. Just like your night. COOKIES If you need a little sweet in addition to the salty, then cookies are the answer. Ellie Lutes of James Madison University swears by Campus Cookies. Like Insomnia Cookies, this company delivers fresh, warm cookies to your door until the wee hours of the morning. Just like Mom would do. PANCAKES Because we all know breakfast is the perfect late night food. (And yes, they can be delivered. Just do some research for late-night breakfast places in your area!) DONUTS So sugary, so doughy, so delicious. Also another late night breakfast option. CHEESE pixabay.com Filling and gooey, melted cheese proved to be a top selection in students stress food choices. Besides cheese sticks, the other contenders included: MAC CHEESE Maybe because it reminds us of simpler childhood times, we crave this basic yet delicious food? Lily Talerman of Ursinus College admits that she will eat a serving for four people in one sitting around 11 p.m. on rough nights. CHEEZ-ITS So poppable, so cheesy, so good. PIECES pixabay.com For some reason, we all seem to like the food that can be broken down into parts and eaten individually. The apparently never ending supply somehow persuades us to keep going. CHIPS Potato chips, popcorn, pretzels, Doritos, you name it. Munch, munch, munch those worries away. CARROTS For when you still want to be kinda-sorta healthy, a carrot is a great option. Victoria Crabtree of the University of Massachusetts Amherst uses them as her football-watching snack. When I get nervous during Patriots games I eat a lot of carrots. Gettysburg College junior Madison Fox adds a fun flare of hummus to make her late night snack a little more exciting. While maybe not what you think of when you think of deliverable food, many grocery stores or even local farms will do deliveries to college campuses. You may just want to think ahead a bit because they probably wont come after normal business hours. CANDY Candy ranks in the top third of answers for stress food. Most people argued for a variety of chocolate (MMs especially) or something with peanut butter (a little more filling), but fruit roll-ups also made an appearance on the list. If you want to know why your body gets so anxious for sugar during stressful times, click here.  COLD pixabay.com ICE CREAM Finally, many many people said that ice cream was the food for them. Whether it be a bad breakup, a hard test, or stressful extracurriculars, this food is always there for you. Despite it being a frozen treat, ice cream is surprisingly easy to get delivered. Its best to always have some around, just in case. Best of luck with all your work, but never forget that food will always be there for you.

4 Tips to Get Ahead of Your Debt This Summer

4 Tips to Get Ahead of Your Debt This Summer Image via Pixabay Though there may seem like you’ll be thrust into the rivers of the adult world with no floaties on, there are plenty of ways to get ahead of your debt this summer. Are you a recent college student worried about making your first student loan payment? Concerned that your payments won’t be manageable? Afraid that your debt is going to chew you up and spit you out? Worry not, I am in the same position as you and I feel your pain. Remember, as quoted in the classic High School Musical film, “we’re all in this together!” If you’re looking for ways to be financially savvy and effectively manage your student debt, check out my four tips below! 1. Cut Back Spending: This tip seems obvious, but I think its one we all (including myself) need to hear. We as college students, like to spend money on frivolous things until we embody our stereotype of the broke college kid. Whether we’re going out to bars with friends on the weekends or buying takeout for the third night in a row, these seemingly small purchases add up. So, stop eating out and cut ties with your favorite coffee place, because all this is doing is putting a hole in your wallet. Instead of spending your money on things you definitely do not need at the moment, put it in a savings account or literally a piggy bank to keep you from spending. This little bit of money here and there will help you in the long run when you’re paying off debt. 2. Create a Budget That Fits Your Goals: We all have goals we want to achieve or do someday. Perhaps your goal is going to your favorite band’s concert next year or putting a down payment on a new car; regardless of what your goal may be, it’s a good idea to set a budget for the goals you have in mind. Do some research on the pricing of your goal, such as the down payment on a car or phone, monthly rent payments, travel expenses, etc., and create a budget. Doing so will give you the incentive to set money aside for something you want to do, and give you more control over how you plan to spend your money! Image via Pixabay 3. Coupon: Have you ever seen that show Extreme Couponing? If you haven’t it’s a reality show on TLC that documents individuals who are obsessed with couponing, with the ultimate goal of paying the very least at the store for the items (with coupons). Some of these are outrageous and I don’t recommend extreme couponing, however, finding deals and coupons on items here and there will definitely add up. Check out sites like RetailMeNot and Slick Deals for coupons and promotions that can save you big bucks! 4. Sell Your Items: One of the greatest things about technology today is e-commerce. You can buy and sell just about anything online nowadays, which is awesome for people like me who have a bunch of useless junk lying around. If you have collectible toys from your childhood, clothes that you don’t wear, books collecting dust on your shelf, etc. consider selling them online! There are plenty of sites to sell on, with the most popular being eBay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and Poshmark. Not only will you be effectively downsizing, but you’ll also be making a quick buck! Being a college graduate with no real grasp of the reality of the adult world can be a scary thing. When you’re drowning in debt, it can be even more frightening. However, these small steps can add up to large savings in the long run, giving you the financial freedom you deserve! As always, good luck!
