How To Blitz An Accelerated Degree Program (It's Not As Hard As You Think)

Accelerated degrees have continued to grow as an exciting and rewarding way to get your degree, and then be able to enter the workforce as quickly as possible.
More students enroll with them at every turn, and there are many benefits to doing so.

Still, the benefits come with their own challenges as well, and it's important to know how exactly you can give yourself the best chance to succeed and survive when enrolling in an accelerated program.
The first thing you have to realize is that all of the benefits do come with their own unique tradeoffs, as mentioned above.

Being able to complete a degree in as little as two years or less is absolutely fantastic. It also means that you'll have to work hard and squeeze in a lot of courses and work into a short period of time, so it's not all going to be a walk in the park. Regular college students have a full month off during the winter, and then at least three months off the in the summer, not to mention other extended breaks throughout the year.

You'll be saying goodbye to those, so that you can fit more courses into a shorter window, and you'll also be taking a full load of courses for each session to keep you on pace. Knowing all of this, if you want to succeed with an accelerated degree, ideally you should be self-motivated and a self-starter. You'll be the only one responsible for cracking the whip for your own studies and homework.

This means you need to stay focused and stay on track, and you need to be able to get yourself moving all on your own. One way to help do this is to always remember why you're working so hard. Remember the great benefit and the reason why you signed up to begin with - the two years to completing an entire degree from scratch. That's half the time it would otherwise takes, and that's two more years you'll have on your side to gain experience in the field, earn your salary, land your dream job, and on down the line.
You should take advantage of the flexibility offered by online accelerated programs. This means studying at any time of the day or night, and any time of the week, when it can be fit into your existing schedule.
There are no restrictions, so be sure to use that to its fullest. It's all about finding a time, place or setting so that it's convenient for you, and so that you can really focus and thrive no matter what else is going on with your life.
That might mean first thing in the morning, late at night, weekend afternoons, lunch breaks or who knows when else, but whenever it is, just make sure it works for you.

Remember, you don't have to study or complete your work at any time that isn't ideal for you and you alone.

These have been just a few quick tips to help you succeed with an accelerated learning program, and there are certainly many others.
You should be self-motivated and you need to stay committed and focused, and you should maximize your time and do your work where, when and how it's convenient for you.

If you do all of this, in just two years you'll have a brand new bachelors degree in your hand.

Is the Book a Dead Duck?

Amazon's Kindle has revolutionised reading. No longer do we need to trek to the bookshop to pick up a good read, we simply download it.

Never in a million years would I, an avid reader for more than fifty years, have suspected that such a thing would have been possible.
After all a book, is a book, is a book. Not anymore it isn't, the book is now the eBook. So, is that it for the poor old book.

Had it's day has it? This book is no more! This book has fallen off it's perch.

..
apology to Monty Python, sorry guys! So, that's it, it was King of the Castle and now the book is the Dirty Rascal. Well, maybe not.
Let's think this thing through. There's a lot of people out there who hate technology and so, if your are a techno-phobic citizen, you're not going to want to buy a Kindle, are you.

Then there's the guys who can't work an ATM let alone a Kindle.
Those who are allergic to Kindles. Those who read in the bath.

.

.

if Amazon can make a Kindle out of sponge, make it float and not electrocute the user they are on a sure-fire winner with that one.
But moreover there are those who will never enjoy browsing Amazon for a good book, they want a book store to do their browsing. These browsers are the future for the small and specialist book shops that are bound to spring up now that the book has been deemed defunct.

With the demise of the big bookstores and the rise of the downloaded eBook, small book shops will make a comeback.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that small print run companies are in a unique position to fill the inevitable gap that will be left when a few of the dinosaur publishers fall by the wayside in the not too distant future.
The book as a product is currently taking a bashing from the eBook, but the book is a revered human invention and something a lot of people will not give up. The book probably has a much longer shelf-life and will be around for some time to come.
After all, it was Johannes Gutenberg, in around 1439, who was the first European to use the moveable typeface and the inventor of the printing press. His invention has had a massive impact on human knowledge and played a key role in creating a learning based economy and the spread of learning to the masses.
That makes the book over five hundred years old.

I wouldn't mind betting the Kindle will not be around that long. In this throw away era, something will come along to knock the current King off its pedestal. Who knows, maybe books will become treasured pieces, like ancient vases, and fetch a few million at auction.
I doubt we will ever be able to say that of a Kindle. Copyright (c) Tom Sowler 2011

Video Games As Isolating Activities

Often people assume that playing computer games or video games is a very anti social activity, and is a solo activity which isolates an individual from the real world, cuts them off from other people and then allows them to sit on their own in a small dark room hitting keys over and over again in order to mindlessly destroy anything that moves on their screen.

In fact, nothing could be very much further from the truth, and in fact those people who play computer games on their own, completely cut off from interaction with other people in any way are such a minority group it may prove hard to find anyone to actually put in to it. Quite apart from not being a solo activity, recent research has found that over 66% of people who play computer or video games do so with their friends, either sat with them advising, or actually with a second handset competing in the same game. 30% of gamers play with their brothers or sisters and a quarter of all gamers play with either their parents or their partners.

This completely goes against the argument that most people lay on their own, and shows that the majority of people play as a social game, in various combinations and ways.

Even taking in to account that there may be 20% to 30% of people who do play games without someone else being physically with them, it is still not possible to generalise isolation by suggesting that these people are cut off from any kind of social interaction.

Many games these days are what is referred to as multi player, meaning that more than one person can play the game at the same time, and with a very wide number of the most popular video games being online too, this means that all players will be competing against and taking part with other real people, rather than the computer.
In fact, many of these online multiplayer games have relatively little input from the computer, and far more input from the people playing the game against each other.
One of the main requirements of many of these multiplayer online games is that people group together and try to work out strategies and tactics to overcome certain obstacles, opponents and challenges.
This will require great teamwork, very in depth discussions involving roles and group work, and will require people to work together as individuals and as a team. As a result, many players become part of a more stable and permanent group which means that there are people known to each other ready to take on challenges without having to start all over each time analyzing their strengths and weaknesses.
These groups can become social groups, meeting outside of the game, and there are many examples where people who have met through these groups have gone on to develop meaningful friendships and relationships beyond the game. Video games are most certainly not isolating - for many, they open doors to friendships that the real world may never have offered.

The Many Reasons for Hiring a Generator

There will come a time in almost everybody's life when the prospect of hiring a generator to create a new and temporary power source can be very appealing. But there are, of course, many reasons why someone, whether they're an individual or a company would hire a generator, and here are just a few of those very different reasons.

An Event These days hardly a week passes by without the launch of a music festival, the start of a major cultural event or the announcement of a wedding that is to be held outdoors.

These events all have two things in common: they are all being held outside, and they will all need power, such as electricity, in order to succeed.

After all, who wants to attend a music festival, in the middle of a field, when there's no electricity to power the lights, the instruments, the amps, or even the burger bars? This is where a generator comes in very, very handy, as a generator can solve all these problems by creating electricity in a location where there might not be as much electricity as we're used to, or in some cases, none at all.

At big music festivals, several generators are hired from temporary power specialists in order to cope with the huge demand for power.

Whereas, at a much smaller even like a country wedding, the needs will not be as great, and just one generator needs to be used to create electricity.
An Emergency Try as we might to prevent them, emergencies happen every day, and there are occasions when an emergency situation leads to a loss of power to certain areas of a town, or even just certain people living on the same street.
While these can be rare, and can be cause by very simple happenings, such as maintenance work, the loss of power can be very difficult for people to cope with.

So while the power is being restored, a generator is usually brought in to create a temporary source of power for residents.

A Blackout While in some countries blackouts are scarcely heard of, in others they are a weekly occurrence, due to a number of factors.

However, rising demands for power, particularly in the colder months, in Western countries have out pressure on every country's national grid, and in an effort to cope with strains on power, many councils have turned to generator hire to ensure that no one goes without power if the worst should come to the worst. So, that's three very different, but no less important reasons to hire a generator, so whether you're going to a festival, a wedding, or you're facing a few days of blackouts, always remember where that back up power comes from.

Why Do Kids Love Riding Bikes?

How often do you see young people riding their bikes around your neighbourhood? All the time right? They chase each other up and down the street, they practice skidding round corners and jumping over kerbs and all the time with a big grin on their faces. But why is it that their typically short attention spans manage to hold for hours and hours and never seem to get bored? Here are a few suggestions why: Freedom One of the biggest reasons why kids enjoy cycling around may be the one they don't realise. Being in control of a bike and being able to go where they want quickly offers them possibly the first taste of freedom in their lives.
Children will spend most of their lives at home or at school and may be able to go and hang out with their friends outside.
A bike offers them much more freedom to move around at will.

While they may not be able to put a name on the feeling, they certainly feel more free on a bike.
Transport If you drive then you know what it was like when you first started driving on your own.
You could forget the bus, stop waiting for lifts from friends and family and stop walking completely as having your own mode of transport is a great feeling.
Not only does this give you freedom it is also a practicality that you can suddenly appreciate.

Going to the shops is less of a chore, going to your friend's house takes a fraction of the time and you can even take yourself to school.

Showing Off Being able to jump off a kerb, over a pot hole and then back up onto the opposite kerb may not look that impressive to you, but to a kid that shows that they are in control of their 'vehicle' and that they can do something skillful which their friends just might be envious of. Not only this but if they have a bike which is a certain colour or which has BMX grips or is some kind of hybrid bike, this all adds up to a great tool for showing off.

Exercise Even though they may not know it, kids enjoy the exercise they get from cycling.

If you offered them a cycling machine in their bedroom it would probably never get used.
But give them a blue BMX bike with a whole skate park to ride around in, they will be off like a shot and not come back until dark. Exercise releases pleasure chemicals in everyone's body so part of the smile they get from cycling is down to this inadvertent exercise.

Making Progress in LOTRO on a Time Budget

Many of us gamers are merely "casual players", meaning we don't have too much time to dump into an MMORPG.
I was excited to join a guild but quickly learned how dedicated and intense some players can be.
I looked around for an advantage to catch back up; something that would give me the one-up like a LOTRO solo leveling guide or something to that effect.

Due to the fact that I couldn't log on at prime time with my friends, I was forced to kill random monsters if the quests I were on proved too difficult. Feeling there might be quests I should be able to do alone, I started looking into a Lotro solo leveling guide.

I was really impressed with some of the guides I found online.

I was amazed at where this guide was leading me to go, I had never considered some of these places. The cool part was the whole guide was designed to help players like me reach level 60 based on soloable quests and monsters. The best part of the guide was that it told me to keep my eyes open for groups in while soloing in certain areas. Ultimately, it all boils down to drive and dedication; if you want to climb the level ladder and hang out with the big players, soloing is a viable option (it just takes longer). All the guides did were point me to areas where I could knock out three or four quests at the same time.

The guides emphasized running from mobs that weren't related to your quests so that you didn't waste time fighting each monster that attacked you.

Remember to use your mount to travel more quickly and you'll be speeing around the map in no time.
A well made LOTRO solo leveling guide can make a huge difference in your ability to progress in the game. It's great feeling like you did something worthwhile and fun instead of just wasting time in LOTRO while not making much progress.
I hope this brief article helps shed some light on something I was previously unaware of as these guides have helped me enjoy LOTRO so much more.
Remember, it is possible to find other players and guilds who aren't all about blazing through the game as fast as they can.
Keep your eye out for other solo players that are leveling alone and reach out to them; you may make a new friend or two!

Best Toys to Buy This Christmas

When it comes to Christmas, my head usually grows quite big because I have to think about what toys to buy. Of course some of the people might just think of the top toys that have been reviewed this year and with that make their selection.
This comes form the concept whereby the popular toys are already well received so even if the recipient of your toys does not like the toy, seeing that it is one of the top popular toys this Christmas, would gladly keep it.

Well there may be some truth in this analysis but buying toys using such a strategy has some downsides.
For one, the toy may have already been bought by your recipient. Toys which are popular have a higher chance of already being bought.
So sometimes people have to do some background research or what I call sleuthing to check what toys the recipient has already bought.
Of course if he or she has not bought the toy that you intend for buy for him or her, then the coast is clear! So when you think about what toys to buy, always remember that you should buy educational toys.

A good example would be some LeapFrog toys.

LeapFrog has come up with many electronic toys that runs on batteries and which provide immense amounts of fun. LeapFrog's latest toy, the Leapster Explorer will be one of the hits this Christmas.

I am placing my bets on this toy and I think many kids are going to get this this Christmas.

Legacy Time: NO Fun on Sunday

This past Sunday I decided to make a small twist to my UG Madness deck.

A friend let me borrow some Natural Orders and a Progenitus for day. Also, I make a few other changes to my deck that can be seen here: Lands: 21 4x Polluted Delta 4x Misty Rainforest 4x Wasteland 3x Breeding Pool 1x Tropical Island 2x Island 2x Forest 1x Taiga Creatures: 18 4x Wild Mongrel 4x Basking Rootwalla 4x Arrogant Wurm 2x Fauna Shaman 2x Civilized Scholar 1x Wonder 1x Progentius Other Spells: 21 3x Natural order 4x Circular Logic 3x Daze 3x Force of Will 4x Brainstorm 2x Spell Pierce 2x Deep Analysis Sideboard: 15 2x Spell Pierce 3x Pithing Needle 1x Daze 2x Tormod's Crypt 2x Krosan Grip 2x Ancient Grudge 2x Chill 1x Molten-Tail Masticore As I said before, I added in the NO combo in just to see how I liked it.
As you will see, I never got the combo off. So, I'm not sure how I feel about it.
The combo player in me loves the idea of just winning on turn four, but if I never even draw any of the cards except one game, then I'm not sure.

We'll just have to test it for in the future, I guess.

Other Mainboard changes were that I cut the Aquamoebas and replaced them with two Fauna Shamans and two Civilized Scholar.
I did not feel like Aquamoebas 3/1 body if I discard a card was better then paying a green to search for Wonder and discarding it to give my attackers flying.
I only own two Fauna Shamans, however.
So, I went a little deeper to see if I could find a creature that discards a card that might be better than Aquamoeba. (Meanwhile, I order another Fauna Shaman online.) I needed two slots, and I remembered I own two foil Civilized Scholars.
They cannot be any worse than Aquamoeba, right? A 5/1 flyer that let you draw a card is fun. Also, that flavor.
If anything else, I could just take him out after the tournament and never think about flying him again. Also, my Stifles are still not here. So, that's why they are still absent.
:/ This past week, I went through and gave serious thought to my Sideboard.
I need more protection from activated abilities.
So, I put in three Needles.
Also, there are a lot of combo decks in my meta.
Counter spells it is. I plan on having 2 Daze main and 2 side, but with the lack one a playset of Force of Wills, I still wanted a "free" counter.
Yes, I am aware that Daze is not as good as Force.

I added Molten-Tail Masticore because I wanted to try him out.

I just really like the card for some reason. Its one of those cards I've always wanted to play with, and I wanted to give it a try. With these changes in mind, here are the rounds I played.
Round 1: Round one was against the guy that let me borrow his Natural Orders.
He was playing Junk Depths In game one, we started by just trading resources.

We Wastelanded a few lands and I Force of Will'd his Bob. Eventually, he drew stuff and things, and he got me after I did not play a whole lot.
In the second game, he kept a bad hand with a lot of discard spells. That seems awesome for me.
After using a Civilized Scholar to discard a Wonder, I attacked for five in the air.

What a Wonder-ful combo. Yeah. I flying army became too much for him once I got an Arrogant Worm in play. In the last game, I got a Pithing Needle in play naming Thespian's Stage.

But Abrupt Decay handled that, and a Knight of the Reliquary activated was all it took with an active Dark Depths in play to end the match 0-1 Round 2: In the second round, I played against a Red Greed pile of cards Deck.

In the first game, I played a turn two Wild Mongrel that eventually allowed me to cheat a couple Rootwallas in play that were pumped and flying thanks to Wonder in my graveyard.
The second game kind of went the same way. The different was that I was able to get an active Fauna Shaman to get Wonder to discard to Civilized Scholar. After doing five in the air for a few turns, it was game over.
1-1 Round 3: The three round put me up against Tin Fins.
In the first game, I played a Breeding Pool tapped with a Daze in hand. He played around Daze and went off on his turn one.

In the second game, he tried to go off on turn one, but I had Force of Will and double Daze in hand. I then attacked with my Rootwalla for a couple turns before Wonder had to join the board (I didn't draw any other creature).

After he Chain of Vapor'd my Wonder back to my hand, I managed to attack for lethal two turns later.
The third game started off with him going off and running into a counter spell.
He then tried two more times that game.
I had him at one two different types in the process.
The last time I had him at one and lethal on board he managed to go off and Tendril me for lethal with one card left in his library. 1-2 Round 4: The last round was against a WB Humans deck, but not the one I played against last week.
This guy says he's been collecting for years, but just now has started playing.
So, he's still new to deckbuilding.
In the first game, he just did not draw anything, and for some reason did not mulligan.
After my Wild Mongrel and Rootwalla did some attacking, the game was over.

In the second game, he managed to get some humans out and kill off two of my guys. After I got a flying army in play, he could not really do much.
2-2 I really like this deck. It makes for some fun games.
I still need to work on tuning the deck the what I want it to be.

Hopefully, I can still progress with this deck in the future, and get it up to par.
There are some changes I am going to make to the deck.
First, I received my third Fauna Shaman in the mail.

I'll be adding her and taking out one Civilized Scholar.

After thinking about it, I think I want to keep one Scholar in the deck.

I might stick with a 3/1 spit on the two cards for the next few week and see how I like it.

In the Sideboard, I want to replace Crypt with Surgical Extraction.
Against combo and graveyard decks, I can just get something important instead of waiting to remove a graveyard.
In the last game against Tin Fins, I drew a Tormod's Crypt, but he had the Chain of Vapor for it.

He didn't have an answer to Surgical, though.

Let's see how this Sunday goes. Thank you, Philip

Organizing Your Kid's Toys the Easier Way

What do you get each time after your kid plays? Toys scattered everywhere, isn't it? This is one common problems of mom to clean up the mess every now and then.

With stuff cluttering in many places you get confused where to start and you can't consider the idea of enjoying the task since there are many other household chores waiting to be done.

Here are some helpful tips in eliminating such problem.

Organizing them properly can save you a lot of time deciding on which one to put in that playroom and which one to keep for good.

First, get yourself 3 empty boxes. Label each box with damaged, not used for a long time and favorites.
These are the three categories to sort out your kid's stuffs.

Damaged These kinds of toys include those which are not functioning already.

They may be out of battery, broken or with some parts detached.

Start Your Own Video Game World

Creating arcade games is an art, without doubt.
The issue is that it isn't easy to develop ideas for arcade games. And even when we do get a thought, it does not seem as fresh or exciting as we like it to be. The content offers more than one ways you can generate some creative ideas to possess your arcade game as fun to play from start to finish.

1.
Make it funny. Humor has a fantastic way of transforming the seemingly dreadful boring into something that is not just tolerable, but engaging as well. And if boredom is an illness, laughter is its alleviate.

If you can inject jokes, funny imagery, or goofy characters into your game, your players will relax and associate your game of top feelings - a definite formula for success.
2.
Let your head wander off the beaten path. Since much of our thinking is associative anyway, there is absolutely no reason why you could not manifest this association into your arcade game.

When one idea enables you to think about another, comprise it as part of a arcade game irrespective how illogical the connection is (initially).

Researching information that arcade games are your platform for creative imagination. It's time to be a little wild and a little unconventional. Without this free-form thinking, we surely wouldn't have the creative gems that we have right now. You can always restore a sense of logic back into the game at an appropriate time. 3.

Make your dreams come true.
Literally, turn your dreams into video game scenarios. Had a nightmare lately? Compromised the scary thing in the game. Had a ridiculously stupid dream lately? Compromised it in the game as a detour or distraction.

Surplus money dreams can be more interesting as life, and as a arcade game developer, you wish your games to be the equal.

Keep a dream journal and write down those bizarre experiences you have at night.

Your gamers will thank you for it. 4.
Copy nature. Let's be truthful - Nature is pretty weird. Wedding speeches bees flying around and pollinating plants.

Wedding day speeches water evaporating into the sky and then falling down from clouds as rain.
Children with severe asthma is a strange event itself, and germs - the smallest thing on the planet can bring down a herd of elephants.
If you could emulate some of this crazy stuff in your own personal arcade games, you will more than likely have done what every man in secret wishes he could do himself. And that is take nature into your own personal hands and shape it into the reality you would like! But do not copy nature faithfully.
Twist it approximately.

As an example, rather than bees flying about and pollinating plants, your arcade game could have 3-inch aliens flying about and pollinating brainwashed FBI agents.

Step parents get the concept? 5. Dig into History.

Any spare time good resource for arcade game material is our own history - but not the boring stuff.

We're talking about the best stuff.

The embarrassing stuff.
[Looked on] odd and weird news online and comprise the asinine things that [individuals have] done a long time ago as area of your game's plot. Your players won't believe what they are seeing! 6. Go Metaphor Happy.
Metaphors are figures of speech in which expressions are employed to consult something that it does not literally denote. It would be more reasonable suggests a similarity. We're unsure, but we're pretty convinced that a great deal of the space ships in arcade games are founded on what we call the "nuts and bolts" metaphor.
If you appear closely at the designs of some of these vehicles, and then look at some of the tools you have in your toolbox, you'll begin to see a similarity among the pair like we did.
You is able to do the identical in your arcade games to develop some really unique imagery and circumstances.

Tips For Fixing Problems With A Slow Computer

Although most people who work on a computer do so at their office, on a computer that is provided for them by their work, many people also have a computer that they use at their own house - and unlike their work computer, they cannot simply get this one fixed for free or replaced completely when something goes wrong with it; because of this, it is extremely important that you understand what you can do to keep your personal computer from slowing down, and that you understand what you can do to fix a computer that has started to become more slow, as there are few things more annoying than a personal computer that cannot keep up with the things you want to use it for. Of course, simple age is one of the main things that can cause a computer to slow down, as computers are more and more prone to slowing down the longer they are around; furthermore, a lot of people think that their computer has slowed down, when all that has really happened is that they have been using much newer computers (perhaps at work, or at school) that are built to be a lot faster than the older model they own, and because of this, it can seem like their personal computer is a lot slower than it used to be! When a computer starts to run out of memory, this will also tend to cause it to slow down, and if you are storing a lot of music and/or photos on your computer, this can really happen quickly; you may not realize at first that your computer has been slowed down - especially if you rarely use your computer for much more than typing Word documents and surfing the Internet - but as soon as you try to use your computer for anything that requires it to work harder, you will realize just how much slower your computer has become.
And of course, every once in a while a virus will come in and seriously destroy the speed of your computer - and what's more, these viruses sometimes arrive from the unlikeliest of places, where you maybe click on a link in an email from someone you know, and this link somehow puts a virus on your computer; this is usually the most obvious form of a "slowed down" computer, as your computer will slow down for even simple tasks, and can of course cause some serious frustration as a result.

Some people who suddenly find their computer to be much slower either automatically go out and purchase a new one, or - more often, for those people who do not have the expendable money to simply go out and buy a new computer whenever they want - they simply deal with the frustration of having a computer that is extremely slow, but what you may not have realized is that there are actually a number of things you can do to speed up your computer, even after it has slowed down significantly.

The Emergence of 3D Printing

3D printing has recently been filling up stories in the media with displays of its remarkable potential and versatility.

This has come to light due to the costs of production reducing at such a rate.

Whereas once, it was almost insurmountably expensive, now there is the real chance of 3D printing being made for the masses. So how did this exciting technology start? Initially, it was used exclusively for large companies who needed detailed prototypes for their products.

It was termed as 'rapid prototyping', but there was a problem: the materials that the prototypes were made of were not strong enough.
The 'printer' could produce the design and desired structure, but it was just too fragile, almost like wax.

So to begin with, this technology catered for engineers who needed to see how their designs looked in the flesh.
Then, as it always does, technology progressed. Companies started seeing the future potential of this prototype machine. Money and energy was invested in creating more durable materials. This was the key to its success, as nanotechnology took over to forge designs that were no longer flimsy, but felt as tough as metal.

The creations were as strong and resistant as concrete and the evolution of the 3D printer grew very suddenly from thereon. These machines no longer produce prototype designs, but actual working parts that can be used straight away.

Companies began dreaming big and rethinking their strategies.

Now all of a sudden, here was a technique to make elements for all manner of different uses in a much simpler and cost-effective way than before.
The potential of this technology is vast.
It is still relatively new, but in just a few years, the landscape of industrial processes could be radically altered as a result of 3D printing.
It would radically change the way large manufacturers such as automotive and defence industries produce parts.
In the not too distant future, you could see it on a grand scale, even domestically.
You want a new kettle? Order it and print it in the comfort of your own home! The beauty of 3D printing is its versatility, and so can even be used for health and medical industries in creating parts for the human body or prosthetics.
The time and cost of producing these kinds of bespoke materials will be massively reduced by new technologies.

With costs of 3D printing machines coming down all the time, the revolution has firmly arrived. Time will only tell how far they will go to achieving their huge potential.

Online Tutoring Help at Any Time

It mainly uses the internet, a virtual environment in order to teach and connect the student with the tutor. You can have access to a professional or expert in any field anywhere in the world by using the internet. Many times showing up to a specific appointed time can be difficult as you also need to drive to that spot and your tutor is not always available to help.

Many are also using online tutoring over the summer to make sure they are retaining information from the school year as many students will forget a lot of what they have learned.
It can keep your student practicing what they learned so that all the information is retained over the long summer months.

If your student is struggling during the school year you can also use online tutoring to help them get through their weak subject. Online tutoring can also be used for home based learning as many parents are making the choice to have their children home schooled.

Many students respond much better to one on one teaching and this can easily be achieved with online tutoring where at large public schools the child would be part of a class.

Online tutoring is also effective for those with disabilities or those that do not live near a school.

You also do not have to only use the services of one tutor.

By using an online tutoring service you can have access to many different tutors and in this way you can find a teaching style that most suits your style of learning.

Each tutor can also present a different perspective to the material so that you get the complete picture instead of only one side of the explanation. Online tutoring is not more expensive than traditional face to face tutoring and when factoring transportation and other costs it is actually much more affordable. Online tutoring is also much more convenient as you will have access to tutors around the world at any time of the day and night. You do not have to wait for a weekly scheduled time to have your questions answered.

For those looking for writing and English help online tutors must be native speakers of the language you are interested in.
The companies do screen their tutors to ensure that you get the best help with your questions.
With writing it is possible to have someone proofread you paper and give feedback on grammar, writing structure and more.

Online tutoring has made it possible for everyone to get the help that they need.

Child-Molesting Predators Are in Your Neighborhood - Educate Your Children!

Summer is over and school is back in session. Parents are busy preparing their kids for the challenges they will face as they start the new school year.

Unfortunately, child-molesting predators living and working in your neighborhood are also busy making plans and devising methods to gain access to your children.
There are over 600,000 registered molesters in the United States and more than 3,000,000 others that are unregistered.
According to statistics from the National Center for Missing Children, over 10,000 of every 1,000,000 children will become missing this year (40% will never be found), that 's a 1 in 100 chance your child will be the next victim. Imagine you are waiting at the bus stop for your five-year-old to return from Kindergarten.
The bus arrives and unloads.

Your child is not on the bus.
Or, you look out into the back yard where your daughter was playing just a moment ago. You don't see her anywhere. You call out for her, but she doesn't answer.

These are just a few of over one million similar situations that occur each year. It's every parent's worst nightmare.

In this moment of crisis, would you know what to do? Who do you call first? Should you go out looking? Or, is it better to just stay home and wait? Making the right choice can mean the difference between finding your child alive, dead or not at all.
Sure, this information is frightening, but it's also true. Pretending that these things don't happen is not the way to protect our children, but educating them is.
If we don't educate our children with the latest information, they'll continue to be at risk.

You may be aware of ID programs, fingerprints and DNA kits.
However, you may not know that these programs do nothing to prevent a child from becoming missing.
In fact, many police detectives feel that these programs contribute to the problem.

Parents participate in an "ID" program and think, "now my child is safe," when nothing could be further from the truth.
The Amber Alert is a great program for missing children recovery efforts, but less than 1% of missing children cases qualifies for the issue of an Amber Alert.
Americans seem to place little value on the safety and protection of their children. You can tell what an individual values most by looking at his or her checkbook.
We spend hundreds of dollars monthly insuring our cars, our homes and other possessions, as well as for such services as digital or cable TV and cell phones. All of these items are replaceable, and yet we balk at the ideal of investing in the safety of our most precious possessions, our children.

Our children's life cannot be replaced! We seemingly place more value on protecting our "things" than on protecting our children.

What will it take to open parents' eyes to the growing problem of missing children in America?

Why High School Boarding Schools Can Be a Good Option

Parents who have children that go to high schools have differing opinions about sending their children to boarding schools.

Some say that there is nothing quite like mainstream public high school education in terms of diversity, opportunities to socialize with people of different socio-economic background, and more.

Others will say that the benefits of these schools far outnumber the possible disadvantages.

One of the biggest advantages of going to a high school boarding school is that there are significantly less distractions that take students' attentions away from studying.

Because the use of telephones are limited, there are no TVs in the rooms, and video games are not allowed, students have more time to do homework and really focus on their academics. As a result, they usually have better grades.
Class size is another thing that high school boarding schools have an advantage of over mainstream public high schools.
In private boarding schools, class sizes are usually kept really small so that the student to teacher ratio is kept low.
Because the class size is small, teachers are more able to determine whether a student needs more help with the lessons, or whether they need to go slower or faster.
It's a lot harder to slip through the cracks and disappear into being unnoticed if the class is small and the teacher is engaging everybody to participate.

These private schools also have a safer and more secure environment that is essential to keeping a child in the right track.

Bad behavior is not tolerated and students have a significantly lesser chance of mixing with the wrong group. It's not that boarding schools are like a prison.
In fact, there are many activities both inside and outside the schools.

There are chances to mingle with the community and a lot of the activities are open to family members and friends. Because students live with other students, they also learn personal responsibility.

In this way, the atmosphere in these schools is something close to a family atmosphere.
Students literally need to learn what it means to live while keeping other people's needs in mind.

They learn to pick up after themselves because they live with people who aren't their family members.

Gaining this sense of personal responsibility is something that they will benefit from even when they get out of high school. Many high school boarding schools are good preparations for college.
Not only do they offer units for college preparation but the values that they learn and the degree of independence that they earn while in boarding schools will prepare them for college life.

A lot of parents will think that these school is extremely expensive and unrealistic for them.
However, many schools offer scholarships for deserving students as well as provides financing options so they can spread out the cost of the tuition fee over several months. It would be best to contact the admissions office of the these schools of your choice to find out whether any of these options are available for you and your child so that you can get on the list for enrollment as soon as possible.

Starting a Teen Book Study Group

If you're looking for a way to connect with your teenage daughter this summer, consider starting a girl's book study group with your daughter and her friends. You may think that teens would not respond well to this idea, but think again.
.
.

you just might be surprised. First bounce the idea off your daughter and see what her thoughts are on the subject. If she shows any sign of interest, then brainstorm some possible book titles and/or topics. When my daughter and I started our group last summer, we had in mind to get some girls together from our church's high school youth group. So we talked about some of the books that people were reading at the time.

Next my daughter started calling her friends and acquaintances to see who she could interest in the idea.

Almost everyone she talked to was interested in coming and liked the idea, but many were already busy with other summer activities.

We narrowed the list to around four or five who committed to reading the book and getting together to talk about it.
We all gave input into which book we wanted to read, and ended up with "What's So Amazing About Grace?" a popular non-fiction book by Phillip Yancey. I broke the book down into three- to four-chapter sections, and we decided to meet Wednesday evenings for six weeks.
Overall, the study went very well, and it was very rewarding. We all have fond memories of it, and it was great to spend that quality time with my daughter.
If you think this is something you might be interested in doing, here are some tips I picked up along the way: Don't take it personally if everyone doesn't come every week.

Everyone has busy schedules and conflicts arise. Probably only one or two girls came every single week, even my daughter missed at least one. You'll find that conversations can greatly differ depending on the mix of girls, which is good! Meet in a low-key, relaxed setting so everyone is comfortable and doesn't feel like they're in a classroom.
We took blankets to sit on down to a local park and had snacks every week. Don't pressure yourself into having to "lead" the group. You're not there to teach them, but only to facilitate the conversation. I found it helpful to choose a book that included group study questions. Some books have the questions in the back.

This particular book had a companion study guide that had to be purchased separately. Just let the girls talk, and ask questions if there is a big lull in the conversation. Although you might be tempted to challenge "wrong" answers, let the girls challenge each other first and see what conclusions they come to. It is rare that you'll have to intercede.
Instead of challenging someone directly, ask them more questions to help them reach a another answer.
On the same note as the last point, don't feel you have to give advice or have all the right answers.
Most teenagers love having someone, particularly adults, listen to their thoughts and feelings.

They don't expect you to know everything, they just want you to listen. You'll find that the teens come from all different family backgrounds and don't always have other people to listen to them when they need to talk.

Encourage girls to come to the discussions even if they didn't do their reading for the week.

You'll find that most are embarrassed if they didn't do their "homework" and don't want to show up.
Encourage them to come even if they didn't read it, to encourage fellowship among the girls. Dads can have book study groups with their teenage sons and their friends too! They may need to goof around some more and maybe burn off some energy before they get down to business (some kind of outdoor activity), but teenage guys like to get together and learn from each other also.

A book study group is a great way to get to know some of your teenager's friends.
Encourage them to also invite people they don't know very well..
.people from school or work who they want to get to know better.

It's a great way to make that first step towards friendship and teaches them to reach out to others.

Online Degrees - Distance Education At Its Best

The ability to research college programs online will allow the potential student to compare schools, programs, costs and the most important of all, acceptance requirements for the program. Finding degree programs online is as easy as 1,2,3.

With the world of education online, it is a matter of mouse clicks and page scrolls to find a degree or a program or a school. All aspects of education can be performed online from a campus tour to filling out your graduation paperwork and accepting your degree.
Aside from individual schools being online there are many portals online that serve as educational search engines.

These portals allow the student to search their vast database and choose the school and program right for them.

Search options can be filtered by school, geographic location, degree or course of study. It also allows the student to compare the offerings of each and choose the one that fits them best.

Some portals will only include accredited schools while others will indicate which are accredited and which are not.
Finding accredited schools is imperative if the students want a degree that is recognized in their industry.
Diploma mills will sell anyone a diploma for a price that rewards them for "life experience." Those degrees are not recognized by the industry nor are they acceptable for transfer credits to other schools.

Do not be taken in with the advertisements that claim a college degree can be earned with no to little work.

Another option that can be found online is the educational portals that show you how to compare and choose the right school for you.
They will take you through a series of questions to ask yourself about your college education and then analyze your answers to fine tune short list the schools to choose to from.
They will also show you where and how to apply for scholarships and financial aid. An important part of the application process is usually an essay describing yourself and why a particular school should admit you to their ranks.

These portals will give you the proper buzz words to use throughout your essay, maximizing your chance of acceptance.
Online education is a wonderful thing.

It has made education possible for people that might not have the opportunity to go to school or further their education. It is opening doors that might forever be closed for some and bringing education worldwide as the Internet has all but obliterated geographic boundaries.

Hot Cars Can Be Death Traps for Kids and Pets

Each year, distracted and overwrought parents leave their unattended kids in cars, subjecting them to danger of several types.
On days where the temperatures are warm, the danger of being left in a locked car with the windows up can be extreme, high temperatures inside the car can cause injury or even death in a shorter time than most parents realize. The topic of car safety for children is one that is very much in the public focus due to several cases where children were left in their car seats, quietly asleep as parents inadvertently forgot about them.

Something as simple as just a visual reminder on the window of the car could have prevented this from happening.
A colorful and eye catching graphic that helps the distracted and hurried parent remember to always, one hundred percent of the time, check their back seat and make sure that there is nothing they are overlooking. These same reminders that work for the sleeping and quiet child in the car can be used to enhance the safety of dogs in cars.
The leaving of a dog in the car for any length of time on a warm day or even a sunny winter day, can be dangerous for the dog. It is wise to be always conscious of the fact that we are busy and lost in our own thoughts and that checking our cars inside completely before walking away from them every time can be a life saving habit, reinforced by the reminders we have on our windows.
The goal of better car safety for kids is prompted by the tragic and near tragic experiences of other parents who have seen how just a few moments of being extra conscientious can make a huge difference.
It is always better to be safe than sorry and this simple habit can give peace of mind to your entire day and prevent a terrible mistake from impacting your life forever.

Be aware and be consistent, form the habit of making sure your car interior is empty and safe before you lock the car and walk away.
There is nothing wrong with double checking your back seat for a sleeping child or pet.
That simple glance behind you could end up saving a life and keeping yours on track. The guilt that some parents feel when they lose a child or pet is horrible.
Be safe, and aware to avoid this happening to you.

Teen Suicide Numbers Are Staggering

Suicide is the third leading cause of death for the age group of 15-24.
It is the only cause of death for teens that has shown a significant increase since 2004.
In fact, the rise from 2003 to 2004 was over 18% and today there is said to be a teen suicide every hour and forty-five minutes.
Why is this happening and what can be done to prevent it? Dr.

Nancy Carroll, an adolescent psychiatrist from Luca County Ohio, says "If you look at suicide in general, the belief is the common denominator is hopeless, helpless pain - unbearable, intolerable pain, not being able to feel like they can tolerate it anymore." According to Dr.
Carroll the most important thing a parent can do is talk to their children about the stressors in their lives.

Be aware of the risk factors.
Breakups in relationships, drinking, mood changes, and depression are all major risk factors.

Thoughts of suicide must always be taken seriously and it is important not to diminish the feelings of the kids.
Helping connect them to support is another important step in helping them.

It is important to acknowledge that listening to your kids is not the same as hearing them.

Listening shows you are determined to help and the kids know the difference.
Sometimes it is a difference between life and death.
Outside support is as important for some kids as having a parent listen to them. Peer counseling has proven to be an effective resource for adolescents. It is well known teenagers rely on each other for information and support, especially during adolescence.
Teenagers are often able to talk openly with other teens, particularly about embarrassing or problematic areas of their lives.

Finally, a peer counselor can give a teenager the information, encouragement, and reassurance they need to access services provided by adults.
Peer counseling also gives young people the benefits of playing the helper.
These benefits include increased self-esteem from the knowledge that they have something to give, decreased dependency, a sense of control that can be empowering, and a feeling of social usefulness.

Peer counseling naturally recognizes young peoples' skills and abilities, their role as part of the solution to a problem, and their willingness to contribute constructively. There is a growing amount of research indicating that it is possible to change the self-concept.
Self-change is not something that people can will for themselves, but it depends on the process of self-reflection.
Using self-reflection, kids often come to view themselves in a new, more powerful way.
It is through this new, more powerful way of viewing the self that young people can develop a better self-concept.
Peer counseling provides the platform for it to happen. Delivery of support to young people is not what it used to be.
If you have in your head the stereotype of a teenager talking on a cell phone, it's time to replace it.
A more accurate picture, according to a report released last week by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, would show a teen texting away on a cell phone.

The Mental Health Consumer/Survivor Network (MHCSN) has taken note of all this and is currently getting ready to offer peer support via text messaging and online chat. Executive Director Patti Bitney-Starke notes "we have to reach them where they are communicating. Reaching young people where they are communicating means a big change in tactics." 88 percent of teens are using their cell phones to text, email, and chat.

Among the 88 percent of teen cell users who text, three in 10 of them send 100 or more messages per day.

Boys send and receive an average of 30 texts per day, while girls exchange an average of 80.
MHCSN has taken note. There are many small programs using the peer support model by texting and online communication.

One such program is Teen Line Online in the Los Angeles are.

Teen Line was created in 1980 by a group of mental health professionals who, through their personal work with teenagers, realized that a more inclusive approach to adolescent mental health was needed. After extensive research and consultation, Teen Line, a teen-to-teen hotline with community outreach services was born. This simple act of listening makes a huge difference, sometimes a life-saving one.
Each year nearly 9,000 young people call the hotline and more than 30,000 attend our outreaches. Teens know they can trust Teen Line and they do.
MHCSN hopes to mirror the success of Teen Line on a larger scale. There are many areas of the United States that do not have these services available and MHCSN hopes to fill the void.
Since they are a non-profit, the funds to provide these services must come from grants and donations.

Bitney-Starke says "every one hour and forty-five minutes we lose another one.
If everyone stopped and thought about it I'm sure they would be willing to invest five or ten dollars to the cause." The cause is complex and efforts to provide peer counseling in all of the popular media will not stop suicide completely. School systems must take up the educational effort, but the peer counseling opportunity will make a big impact. We just need to make it a priority.

Celebrating Founders' Day in Schools

For every school, Founders' Day is a day to honour their achievements and successes.
As the name suggests, it marks the day the school was founded as well as shows appreciation towards its founding members. Celebrations are usually done in grand style with concerts, dinners and performances for past and present students of the school.
We take a look at the rich history of 2 primary schools in Singapore and how they commemorate this day with much pomp and ceremony.
1.
Yangzheng Primary School Yangzheng Primary School, one of the oldest schools in Singapore turned 100 in 2005.

The school started as Yeung Ching School in 1906 as a private school for Cantonese children.

When it was first founded, its medium of instruction was Chinese.
English was only introduced in mid 1930s.
During the Japanese Occupation, the school had to stop temporarily. It later resumed operations but had to include Japanese as one of the core subjects. After the Japanese Occupation, the school opened for full operations and books they were hidden previously were brought out once again.

Since then, YZPS has proved his mettle.

As a tribute to its ability to withstand all the challenges, the school held a year long celebration that included the School Advisory Committee (SAC) organising their Third Trip to Guangzhou. A Xiang Xing Hai Centenary Concert at Singapore Conference Hall for Xian Xing Hai (former pupil of Yangzheng Primary School)- a World Renown composer of the Yellow River Cantata was also organised to venerate his contributions.
With that, it marked another year in the school's calendar with many more years to come. 2.
Ngee Ann Primary School 2010 marks a monumental milestone for Ngee Ann Primary School.

Come 30th March, the school would be holding its 70th Anniversary celebrations. Operations began in 1940 when the late Mr Lee Wee Nam, the late Mr Yeo Chan Boon, the late Mr Lim Kim Seng and a few other members established a girls' school in a bungalow owned by a Kongsi member at River Valley Road, opposite what is now the AA building. In 1967, it opened up its enrolment to include male students.

Ngee Ann Primary School's current site in Marine Parade underwent a massive reconstruction in 1998 when its then site was deemed inadequate to meet the demands of increasing student population and the challenges of the new millennium.
The building was demolished and the school only moved back to its current premise in 2000.

For its 70th Founders' Day, Ngee Ann Primary School would focus its celebrations around the core values of charity and generosity.
A 2-day fundraising cultural extravaganza on 26th and 27th March, will kick start celebrations. The carnival would be officiated by Senior Minister Mr Goh Chok Tong and all proceeds would be donated to the Movement of Intellectual Disabled Society (MINDS).
In tandem with the school's annual tradition, a grand banquet would be held the school compound.

The school expects hundreds of ex student and staff to return as part of the celebrations.

Sandbox For Children

Having a sandbox for children in your backyard provides them with quite a bit more than just a fun way to spend the day.

Kids are able to learn and develop in a number of ways with sand play. It is true that some nice childhood memories can be created while playing in the sand with friends, but it can also benefit them in other ways.

Muscle development is heavily promoted while children play in the sand.
The large muscle groups are strengthened as the kids fill buckets of sand using shovels and then carry the pails to other locations within the sandbox. Sand play can also help small muscle groups as well as eye-hand coordination.
This can be supported when children attempt to pour sand from one container to the other.

There is a host of ways that creativity can be boosted in a sandbox for children.

One way that children can play with sand is to pretend they are on vacation at the beach.

If the weather is warm enough, you can help them play the part by allowing them to dress in their swimsuits as they play.

Another creative method for sand play is by providing children with a number of toys to use in their sandbox.

Cars and trucks can be used to create cities within the sand.

Roads can be made as the wheels cut into the sand. Special pails can be used to create a sandcastle, which opens children up to realm of imaginative play.

Something as simple as a stick can provide children with entertainment, as they will have a method for "writing in the sand.

" Giving children water to use for their sand play also offers a opportunity for learning.

Children will quickly realize that the texture of sand is completely different when it is wet from when it is dry.

They will also realize that the sand sticks together when wet, yet it easily falls through their fingers when dry. Wet sand has the ability to be molded into shapes whereas dry sand does not. Educational molds are good for playing with wet sand.
In a sandbox for children, kids can use alphabet molds to create letters and spell out words.

Mathematical concepts can also be learned as children compare the weight of different sized containers being filled with sand.

As you can see, a sandbox for children provides a great deal of learning and development opportunities.
Creativity, muscle development, eye-hand coordination, spelling, and mathematical concepts can all be offered with sand play.
A final note on how beneficial playing in the sand can be is that it helps to get your child up and moving rather than sitting on the couch in front of the TV or video gaming system.

Barney First Birthday Party: A Party of Love

When you look at the success of Sesame Street, Electric Company, Mr.

Roger's Neighborhood, and Clifford the Big Red Dog, it's not a far stretch of the imagination for Barney and Friends to be a top-rated television program for children.
The non-profit Public Broadcasting System (PBS) has a history of providing quality television programming for children as well as adults. The reason PBS is so successful with children's programming is probably related to it combining entertainment and education.
Children have fun and learn at the same time.

You can have the same result when you have a Barney birthday party.

By the time children reach their first birthday, they are usually familiar with most television shows.
Whether it is his vivid purple color or sweet disposition, Barney captivates children.
A theme party of the affectionate Tyrannosaurus Rex can bring much fun and merriment to a child's first birthday.

Including some of the activities from the Barney and Friends show will keep the young party guests entertained.
Parents can paint faces and put on a hand puppet show.
What would a Barney birthday party be without his famed "I love you" song? Adults that are attending the birthday party may be annoyed, but young children can't seem to get enough of the love-inspired song. At some point during the party, have the children should sing the song.

An adult dressed in the costume could lead the children through the song.
The parent dressed up in the Barney suit could surprise the children with candy and/or gifts. The cost will vary, but on average an adult Barney costume rents for about $100. An alternative is to have the children wear costumes of characters on the Barney and Friends show.
