SEE YOU THERE!

Just in time for Halloween, Hulu is ready to invite viewers back to the not-so-sleepy town of Castle Rock. The fictional Maine location may sound familiar to even casual horror fans, as it features across the many works of Stephen King. To celebrate the launch of season 2, the cast of the anthology series joined fans at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden for a screening of the premiere episode at this year’s New York Comic Con.

The highlight of the premiere was the debut of Lizzy Caplan as “Stephen King’s nurse from hell” Annie Wilkes. Wilkes was the star of King’s Misery where she was willing to go to lethal lengths to get her way from James Caan’s stranded author character. Bates famously won an Academy Award for her performance and if you had asked me if I needed to see more background on her character I may have doubted you until this episode. Caplan channels her own unblinking manic energy and manages to make Wilkes’s “cockadoody” vernacular her very own. As a bonus, she has the wonderful Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade) as a daughter to play off of in this series.

While I won’t go into spoilers for the show, suffice to say there was at least one jaw dropping scene that made checking the show out in the massive NYCC audience incredibly satisfying.

Head over to our NYCC Facebook album to see even more photos from the panel which also featured Shawshank Redemption alum Tim Robbins

Castle Rock season 2 is available on Hulu starting October 23rd.

Many students feel too overwhelmed with their curriculum to do any additional reading. It’s understandable as they have millions of tasks that need urgent focus, so fiction and non-fiction genres are left in their past, freer life — as long as they aren’t assigned them in college or uni. This trend is depressing since reading is essential in many ways, from cognitive to social. Researchers from Psychology Today Schwanenflugel and Knapp confirm that reading improves brain function and helps in studies. Interestingly, it might happen both directly and indirectly.

 “A Professor’s Guide to Writing Essays: The No-Nonsense Plan for Better Writing”written by DoctorNeumann is a non-fiction book with the power to bring benefits in two ways at once. First, it’s deeply engaging and stimulating. Second, it’s essential for studies because regardless of whether you are still in high school or if you’re tackling complex uni challenges, writing essays is a task that will follow you everywhere. Knowing how to do it will save you tons of time.

The Content of Neumann’s Book and What Makes It Stand Out

DoctorNeumann has worked as a professor in many areas and on different educational levels. He’s seen the struggles his students face with crafting their essays personally, and it encouraged him to write a book that would help them improve their writing. So, Neumann’s book explores the concept of academic essays and provides useful tips on how to structure ad compose them. He raises such topics as the creation of helpful outline, effective introduction, strong thesis, and logical paragraphs. Neumann also explains how to avoid plagiarism, which is essential since unless your paper is 100% unique, you risk facing a disciplinary hearing and even suspension. This way, his book presents a complex of suggestions aimed at facilitating your writing.   

But what makes this book special? Neumann discards the idea of each essay type differing from one another. Instead, he promotes the idea that writing principles stay the same in all cases, claiming that if you get a grasp on them once, you’ll be able to apply them over and over again.  He uses practical demonstrations and builds excellent and relevant associations that stay in the memory of his readers for a long time. For example, when explaining transitions and their role in the structuring of the paragraphs, Neumann draws the comparison with road signs. Such vivid examples help demonstrate the rules much better than long theoretical explanations.

The Audience Neumann’s Book Targets

Published in 2016, Neumann’s book has quickly gained popularity because of how relevant and useful its central topic is to different groups of people. Since it revolves around academic writing, all people involved in this sphere can benefit from reading it. There are four specific groups that can be seen as its target audience.

·         The youth. Young people of all ages study in schools, colleges, or universities, and all of them have to inevitably write essays. Nearly all of them face problems on their way to a good grade, so Neumann’s book is perfect for them. They’re the primary audience since it’s students who inspired the author to write his guide.    

·         Professors. Teachers are also an important audience since they might grow frustrated with having to explain the rules of writing to their classes repeatedly. With Neumann’s book, they have a chance to save their time and make explanations rich and on-point. 

·         Academic writing professionals. The area of academic writing is fast, and many specialists are joining it daily to help students with their tasks. Some essay structure nuances might be a novelty to them, which is why Neumann’s book is a recommended reading in such places. To understand the rules intimately, people working for admission essay writing service from EduBirdie all read this book thoroughly before they start working. This helps them avoid mistakes and achieve the best results for their clients.   

·         Adults entering the education sphere. Many adults who didn’t have a chance to graduate go back to school or get jobs where knowing how to write academically is essential. Neumann’s book targets them as well. It’s written in a way that will be engaging to people regardless of their age, so they will all find it worth their time. 

The Best Kind of Books: Easy and Beneficial Reading

Best books don’t underwhelm you — they stimulate and relax you at the same time, capturing your interest and teaching you something useful. “A Professor’s Guide to Writing Essays: The No-Nonsense Plan for Better Writing”by Neumann is a great example of such books. Dunn from Psychology Today mentioned how academic writing doesn’t have to be boring or stuffy, and Neumann has met this particular goal brilliantly. If you wonder how to cope with your essay tasks, just give it a try. It’s short but extremely illustrative.

2019 New York Comic Con
Friday, October 4th 2019
Jacob K. Javits Center, New York, NY

Our Score: 3.5 out of 5 Stars

With the leaves beginning to change in the North East for most that signals that the fall season is underway. For fans of pop-culture it’s the tell tale sign that the annual New York Comic Con is on the horizon. With Connecticut based organizers Reed Pop at the helm the convention would once again descend on the Jacob K. Javits Center which is tightly nestled in the heart of New York City. Over the course of 4 days (10/3 thru 10/6) Fans of all ages packed the massive convention center in hopes of obtaining their favorite collectible and/or meeting some of the comic industries top creators. We took in day two of the event this year which boasted an impressive schedule of panels and releases that had us running back and forth, left and right and up and down the entire day.

Upon entry we quickly made our way to the collectible toy area which over the last few years has seem to double in size. Here we were able to check out booths by makers such as Super 7, Entertainment Earth and of course Funko. All three of these companies offered plenty of exclusive items a majority of which were only available to those who were selected via a pre-show lottery. Amidst the snaking lines and impromptu cos-play photo shoots we were able to test out the latest offerings from Arcade 1Up which included the newly released ¾ versions of “Golden Tee” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”. The company was also showcasing a nearly 10 foot tall fully functioning arcade cabinet that had attendees waiting in line all day just for a chance to work the oversized retro controls. From there we made our way past the Toy Tokyo booth which this year included several exclusive sculpts by artist Ron English and Joe Ledbetter. We also made a stop at the Playmobil booth where they were showcasing their upcoming “Scooby-Doo” and “Back To The Future” figures and play sets complete with the iconic Mystery Machine and time traveling DeLorean. From there we descended into the ground floor of the center which hosted a who’s who of comic creators including Greg Capullo, Jim Lee and John Romita Jr. to name just a few. Easily one of the busier corridors of the event comic collectors were elbow to elbow much of the day attempting to get books signed or purchase hand drawn art from their favorite artist. Neighboring the artist alley on both sides were the celebrity meet and greet area which on this day included appearances by Paul Rudd, Tom Hiddleston and Billy Dee Williams. Across the way in the opposite corridor was the massive panel room which played host to panels ranging from HBO’s “Watchman” series to TBS’s “Impractical Jokers” and probably the most exciting of the day TNT’s “All Elite Wrestling” which included an on-stage brawl between stars Chris Jericho and Cody Rhoades that had those in attendance going absolutely nuts!

As our day came to a close it was dizzying to think about all the things we had experienced in just a few hours. Despite finding several empty booths in a couple different locations (something we had not seen in years past) there certainly was no shortage of things to see or do at New York Comic Con 2019. Reed Pop and the other companies associated with this con continue to put on a solid show that’s offers something for everyone. I do feel the event promoters need to continue looking at how they layout the show in a continued effort to ensure attendees are able to move freely throughout the multiple floors and levels. This year’s map did feel less cluttered than in previous years however, there were still a number of high traffic areas which brought people to a standstill making it hard to move or take in the vendors/displays. Moving panels to various other locations around the city has surely helped ease some of the events growing pains as did the addition of the Cos-Play lounge but with attendance near to or exceeding the 200,000 accommodations need to continue to help ensure a safe and fun atmosphere for all those who attend.

Video games have long attempted to reimagine the reality of sport, but as games and technology have advanced, the similarities between the two have grown.

Campus is usually a great time for most students pursuing their education as they grow up. In its environment, students learn several things, both within the classroom environment as well as outside. Outside the classroom, there are various movies that students have loved to watch during their times in campus, which usually talk about college life in one way or the other. For those already out of campus, such movies help generate memories of those days.

Genre of movies about college

College movies have over time been embraced in a similar way to high school ones. It is among the favorites for a custom essay writing service with a lot of essays for sale. The genre encompasses a variety of issues that affect young adults as they make the step up in their lives. Most of these issues include love, family and friendship. It also highlights the fun and grief involved in the process of self-realization .

Produced in 1993, this is a movie about Rudy, an individual who dreams of being an important football player for his school. He starts off from a disadvantaged situation. He doesn’t even have enough tuition fee, as his father, who works in a steel mill, struggles to pay it up. Additionally, his academic performance was a bit low, and his body frame was way smaller than most football players, while he displayed very little skill at it too. Despite all these, his sheer determination sees achieve his dream of playing the game he so much loved. It still is one of the best movies for students to watch even today.

While it is more of a comedy, the movie addresses the realities faced by students who get rejected from various academic institutions. It is clearly one of those college life movies.  It revolves around a student, Bartleby Gaines, who decides to open his own academic institution, South Harmon Institute of Technology, after being rejected by other schools He wanted to ensure that he doesn’t fail his parents, whom he wanted to convince that he had joined college. Upon opening the ‘school,’ he soon realizes that there are several other student rejects, who join up too. It soon becomes a big scandal when all these activities are suddenly brought to light.

The Social Network.

This is more of a biographical drama movie that traces the steps of one Mark Zuckerberg, an undergraduate computer genius at Harvard. It traces the formative years of how Mark set off on his path to becoming one of the youngest, if not the youngest ever self-made billionaire in history. His founding of Facebook while back in school however, didn’t come that easy, as some of his friends came out guns blazing that he had stolen some of the ideas from him. He had to deal with a few lawsuits and a fallout with his friends to his end. These personal and legal complications however, don’t hinder him from his goal. For become successful as Mark, you need to buy executive resume online from the best writing service.

Revenge of the Nerds.

This is one of the most hilarious movies based on college life. Life for young guys in their freshmen year has never been that easy.  Two college geeks find themselves evicted from their halls of residence by another team known as Alpha Betas, who lay claim to the building. The geeks and their other friends are now forced to move out to an old shark, especially after the institution tells them that they can only have the gym as their new place of residence.  They however realize the need to form their own team of self-defense, and decide to plan for a revenge on the Alpha Betas, for their humiliation.

Legally Blonde.

The movie revolved around Elle Woods and her struggles in love. From a campus setup, she seems to have it all. For one, she is the leader of her girls group. She also dates the hottest guy around and also is very pretty. All that she only wanted to cap it off, was to have a permanent position in the life of her love, Warner. Warner however, holds back from making that final proposition due to the fact that he feels Elle is too blond. When he leaves to join law school, Elle also makes the same move and while there, fights through wit and beauty to win him back.

Old School.

When it comes to movies about college life, this one is up there among the best. The movie looks at the lives of three friends who are on a mission to try and reclaim the gone glory days while staying just next to their former school. It all starts after one of them, Mitch, comes to the realization that his girl had been engaging in sex orgies. Mitch’s heart is broken, and he decides to go out and start all over again from elsewhere.  While at it however, his friends also tag along and make his new place their meeting place. Eventually, this so called meeting place is turned into the hub for wild parties. All this happens amidst some serious backlash from the new Dean.

Animal House.

It is about the spectacular plans by a group of college students to avoid being expelled by the college dean. The Delta Tau Chi group of students was known all over campus to be so rowdy and troublesome, something that really irked the dean. He wants them out, through the revocation of their charter. To roll out his ultimate plan, the dean decides to enlist the services of the leader of the omega group and a series of rules to push delta out. He even places the delta group on a double secret probation. It is so interesting to see how the rules in collaboration with omega, somehow just fail.

Dear White People.

This movie captures just about all the contemporary issues affecting students of color, ranging from racial bias, bad politics and cultural issues. It is one of the best college movies, when it comes to addressing current issues. It highlights how a certain clique of black students find themselves admitted in a predominantly white, high class institution. The students therefore have to survive in one way or the other, and they do so spectacularly using a thick skin and tough character. There is some brutal reality illustrated all through the movie, about the actual issues in the current society.

Write Up

College movies are quite a reflection of how life in campus is or used to be. They might have a little more dramatization but the underlying themes remains more or less the same. The themes of these movies basically or majorly revolve around love, friendship, family and education.  All in all, these movies are all about the process of personal self-discovery that youngsters often have to go through as they grow up, especially in campus.

Beautiful ties are essential fashion accessories to enhance your outfit. For this reason, the wardrobe of a man is incomplete without good ties. You can buy ties for men in different colors, patterns, and textures. It becomes easy to choose a suitable tie for a formal meeting, a fancy date, or a business event.

Remember, a wrong tie on a business meeting can affect your impression negatively. To avoid an awkward situation, you have to be careful in the selection of ties. For instance, you can wear a bowtie or silk necktie on a formal event. For casual occasions, feel free to consider linen or seersucker tie. Here are some tips that will help you to select a perfect tie for every occasion.

Identify a Quality Tie

If you want to buy a quality tie, make sure to check some important things. For instance, the lining of a tie is essential to check. These are essential for tying a tie without wrinkles. If you are wearing a tie for the first time, check this article on tying a tie. The lining must be made of 100% wool. Make sure to buy a tie with the heavy lining and gold bars.

Evaluate the look and feel of the fabric before purchasing a tie. If you need a silk tie, evaluate its smooth feel. Remember, it is a soft fabric; therefore, its replica may offer a brittle feel. You can identify a quality tie with three fabric pieces because cheap ties are manufactured from two materials.

Buy a Hand-stitched Tie

Pay attention to hand-rolling because a machine-stitched tie may not work well. A hand-stitched and hand-rolled hem helps you to maintain your tie in its best shape. Check slip stitch in a tie that can help you to pull a tie together and keep its shape.

Finally, notice the bar tack because this piece is necessary to supplement the slip stitches. With this piece, you can avoid separation in the two ends of a tie. Carefully size up a tie because it must hit the top of belt buckle and measure between 5.5cm and 10cm (2 ¼ inches to 4 inches).

If you want a classic look, consider the width of a tie. Remember, the width must correspond to the width of the lapel of your jacket. Moreover, your tie must not be too tight or too loose because these options are uncomfortable. You will look classy and smart in a well-fitted tie around your neck.

Texture and Colors

With heavyweight jackets, feel free to wear a wool tie. Moreover, business suits look elegant with silk ties. If you need a sharp color quality on silk, consider a woven tie over a screened option.

No doubt, selection of color can’t be easy because thousands of shades are available. Feel free to choose between paisley ties and striped ties. It is easy to find a tie to complement your dress. Try to choose a tie with the colors of your dress. For instance, you will need a tie with solid color over a dark shirt.

On Episode #208 of “Behind the Mikes” Moviemike and Jeremy talk about AD ASTRA, documentaries on DAVID CROSBY and LINDA RONDSTADT and ask the question: “Which director’s first film showed promise, only to have is following films disappoint?”  Give a listen HERE

Okay. So you’re a gambler, huh? Tough luck. I don’t mean that in a negative, i-hope-you-have-bad-luck kind of way. I’m saying that as a form of consolation, if anything. Gambling, after all, is a very hard hobby to manage. Most people would actually want to steer clear from it – for reasons that are plain obvious, of course.

Gambling is addictive. There is absolutely no use trying to beat around the bush. It plays with your head and whacks your mind so much that you can’t bear to live without it. This is the worst case scenario, though. This is when your casino nights get a little out of hand and control. Understand the science behind this here: https://www.highspeedtraining.co.uk/hub/why-is-gambling-addictive/.

But as a form of entertainment, gambling definitely introduces you to a world of amusement like no other. It’s like you know you’ve finally stepped into adulthood when you’re starting to reap the joys of it. Being able to enter the gates of the casino like a boss certainly makes you think that you have outgrown your childhood ways – or not.

Casino games are still games nonetheless, after all. The only difference is that this time, good money is brought into the fray. Real dollars are put on the line and frankly speaking, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll lose most of them in a span of one night. That is, unless you get really lucky and come home a victor. But you can never be too sure, can you?

The Reality Of Gambling

The first thing you have to understand before you make your first trip to the casino is that it’s not going to be your ticket to an incredible life. Well, it might be. But that’s all you get, a simple “might.” This means that you can never be sure and if you try to look at probabilities, you’ll see that the chances of you winning the jackpot are pretty slim. We’re not just talking about 1:1000 odds here; you’re going up against millions, maybe even billions of probabilities. So counting on your gambling activities to put bread and butter on the table is terribly foolish and insane.

Gambling sure is fun; there’s no denying that. However, you should train yourself to be a conscientious player, to not let greed or thrill get the best of you during your casino visits. Or, you can check out online gaming so that you can manage your finances better. Check this out: 나눔로또파워볼 먹튀폴리스.

The Science Behind Gambling

Playing at a casino has a strong correlation to reducing stress. This is probably why so many people feel so love drunk whenever they gamble. If we look at things scientifically, this instant feeling of happiness is probably due to the high secretion of endorphins (happy hormones) in our brain when we play. These hormones are responsible for making people feel happy, elated, ecstatic, and euphoric even. In other words, gambling isn’t really what’s causing the addiction here. It’s the “rush” that you get from gambling. I mean, it’s so good that you’d want to feel it again and again.

But the euphoria ends when you’re neck deep into debt. This is twice as alarming when you’re not only living for yourself. If you have a family to feed, children to send to school, and parents who are in need of medical attention, your gambling escapades may be very damaging for you and the rest of the family. In fact, it can be perilous.

So word of advice for today? Don’t go overboard when playing at the casino. It’s okay to let steam off every once in a while. That’s totally normal. What is not normal is playing until you’re robbed of everything you have, of everything you own. That is when gambling becomes a toxic component in your life (read more).

When you place a bet, make sure that it’s money you can lose – leisure money, in other words. This is the same money you’d go on spontaneous shopping trips with or buy overpriced coffee with. Never touch money that you need for your life needs. Pay the bills, mortgage, tuition, groceries, and medical bills first before you decide on heading down to the casino.

“The Classical Language of Architecture” by John Summerson was first published in 1966. In this book, the author dwells upon the detailed grammatical workings of architectural language. The reason why classical architecture was chosen as a basis for the detailed analysis is very simple: it is that kind of “language” the grammatical rules of which are understandable to the majority of people interested in the field of architecture.

When you take a look at an example of classical architecture in Italy, it becomes obvious that the so-called ‘Latin architecture’ has existed for a very long time. Those buildings are large and wide. As soon as you start conducting an academic study on the history of classical architecture, you realize that it’s language is rather simple. Yet, this style was considered to be the common language of Western architecture until recent times. These days, creativity and diversity are more significant than the desire to adhere to a set of rules. The importance of unique approach is highlighted in almost every architecture essay.

The purpose of this book is not only to help students dwell upon the language of classical architecture in their architecture essay writing assignments, but also to explain what the grammatical workings of this language are. If you are aiming to get one of the well-paid architecture jobs, reading this book is a must. No essay about architect will tell you more about the rules that are applied in classical architecture that this book. The author mentions ancient Greece and ancient Rome as the places where the development of classical architecture began. However, he is more interested in the ways in which the style has developed during the period of Renaissance.

Before this book was published, it existed in the form of a series of six scripts that were created for BBC Radio. The writing style of John Summerson is not only informative, but also very entertaining. Yet, his main goal of the book remains the same: to provide readers with a clear understanding of what classical architecture is; to explain its impact on the development of architectural design and to present the so-called set of grammatical rules that make up a classical building. The author pays a lot of attention to the way in which classical architectural ideas have progressed over time. Such aspects as proportion and fenestration of facade are discussed in detail. At the end of the book, John Summerson sums up his thoughts on classical architecture saying that this architectural style is all about achieving visible harmony among all parts.

Apart from that, John Summerson dwells upon architectural deviations during the Baroque period and explains the relationship between classical and modern architecture. This book will be particularly useful to architecture students, especially freshmen and sophomores who are currently studying such discipline as the history of architecture. They often find it hard to write a proper conclusion architecture essay, so this book may help them do it better. What is more, mentioning this book will look good on the references page of an essay about architecture. The more useful resources a student has access to, the less often they will have to type something like do my architecture paper into Google search. If the topic of your paper is classical architecture and you do not know how to write a conclusion architecture essay, reading this book may help you come up with a couple of ideas. In general, the whole point of the conclusion architecture essay part is to summarize everything you have already mentioned in previous paragraphs. If you have conducted a research study, your conclusion architecture essay paragraph should contain the results. All in all, “The Classical Language of Architecture” by John Summeson will come in handy to every student who has decided to major in architecture.

Netflix is the largest provider of movies and tv shows in the world. But did you know that you may not be getting access to the entire Netflix library from your location? Due to global copyright laws and territorial licensing, Netflix does not open up its entire library globally, so you may be missing out on tons of movies and tv shows.

What does this mean?

Even though you are paying the same amount for your Netflix subscription in Singapore as you are in the United States, you’re not getting nearly as much content. 

In order to gain access to content outside the country you’re in, you used to have to physically move yourself to a different country – or connect to a server in a different country. For example, if you were in Singapore, and you wanted to access the US library, you’d have to connect to a U.S. server. Depending on where you are in the world, connecting to a U.S. server could slow down your internet speeds and you’ll end up buffering instead of streaming.

But fear not! With SurfShark you can now unblock Netflix on all your devices and gain access to the entire U.S. Netflix library of content regardless of your global location! Connect seamlessly to the server closest to you, and you’ll still get access to not just the US Netflix library, but you’ll also bypass any regional blocked content, too! No buffering, no slowing down – just pure, uninterrupted streaming! Plus, SurfShark is available on all devices, so no matter how you like to stream your content, we’ve got you covered.

How does it work?

Any time you access a website, you are sending that website information about where you are, called your IP address. Many countries have what is called regional blocking, which is when users coming from a certain country or location are blocked from accessing certain websites or content. This is typically due to censorship or copyright laws. When you encounter a blocked website, it’s because your IP address has indicated that you are in a country or region that has blocked access to that site.

VPN, or virtual private network, creates a private tunnel that protects your information and location. Instead of using your device’s IP address, connecting to VPN uses the server’s IP address. Depending on which server you connect to, that’s where your location will be seen as from other websites. For example, if I’m in Japan and I want to access content that is restricted, I can connect to a server in the United States and I will be granted access to that content. Why? Because the website will think I’m coming from the United States.

How to Unblock Netflix Across Your Devices

1. Sign-up for SurfShark account

SurfShark VPN allows you to unlock content libraries across your devices, and has a 30-day money back guarantee if you’re not satisfied. We offer the privacy of having your own network, plus great speeds for streaming no matter your global location.

4. Login to your Netflix Account on your devices and start streaming!

You’re probably thinking, does this violate my terms of service with Netflix? Nope! While Netflix doesn’t endorse the use of VPN to unlock regional content, it’s not restricted or a violation of their terms of service.

You already have a Netflix account, so make sure you’re getting access to the full line-up available and not restricted based on your location! Keep up with your favorite shows and movies, no matter where you travel globally.
