Invention activities
inventi0n-activities-reviewI’m writing this post with my word invention activities document attached to it. My movie review will be based on one of my favorite of all time. It is called A WALK TO REMEMBER and I think that anyone could relate to the story.
Wake up people!!!
College life can be pretty rough sometimes. Many kids when they come right out of high school and go to college with hopes of doing something right with their life think that they‘re in it for the excitement of their life. After all, it is said that college is one of the most agreeable experiences in someone’s life. It is the place where you make friendships that could last a lifetime.
But making it through this time takes determination and motivation all together. I decided to write about one of the issues that affect college kids’ work in school as well as outside of school: bad sleeping habits. In many classes, the heads on the desks struggling to stay awake is very perceivable.
The first way to approach this problem would be to start by naming and analyzing some of the causes. One of the major causes of this issue is that most college students stay up late and go to bed at very unreasonable hours. Evidently, when you do not get enough sleep at night, there is no way that you’ll be able to stay awake the next day.
The reasons why most students stay up so late are linked with schoolwork, their job and their night life. The best solution would be to better manage time. Then, we could consider reasonable times to party and stopping to procrastinate.
Students could try to use planners and calendars in order to plan out better their days and include work where it’s supposed to go as well as school. Another way to help also would be to take classes at hours beneficial to them. For example, during registration time, students could choose not to take early classes if they think that it’ll be difficult for them to wake up in the morning.
There’s a lot to do in college and it can get very stressful at times. But if you can manage your time wisely, it won’t be so intimidating after all.
Say Yo!
I have no idea where he came from but this little guy, as soon as he came out on the music industry made a name for himself instantly. His music are heard everywhere. Anytime, you turn on the radio, his voice blasts out. His dance moves are beyond describable words. This little guy is a prodigy. I’m of course referring to the one and only Chris Brown!
Chris came out with his instant hit Run It and since then, he hasn’t stopped coming out with very catchy tunes to dance to. All ages find his music interesting and that it brings new assets to hip hop and R&B.
Chris Brown has sung along side famous names in the Rap Industry, notably T-Pain with whom he sang Kiss Kiss. This song has won a nomination for the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in the category for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
Brown, one of two children, was born and raised in the small town of Tappahannock, Virginia, the son of Joyce Hawkins and Clinton Brown. He was discovered by a local production team in his father’s gas station. A dancer since age two, Brown did not get awareness of his singing talent until the age of eleven.
Chris is not only a singer but also an actor! Seems like this young talent has more than one trick in his sack! Brown has appeared in the very popular TV show One on One, the dance movie Stomp the yard and the family comedy movie, This Christmas. And right now, his hit single, No Air sang along side last year’s American Idol winner is working its way to the top list of billboards.
And that’s not all! In addition to being very busy recording songs in the studio and rocking the big screen, Chris Brown lent his efforts to promote the Math-A-Thon benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital y starring as the host in a film to promote it.
Chris has no intention in stopping his musical career and really there are no reasons why he should. Go Chris, Go!
The one and only…
One of the most talked about celebrities in Hollywood is definitely Britney Spears. From the time when she started out her career until today, she drags behind her a line of fame. Every tabloid, every magazine, every show, every newscast, EVERYWHERE you have to come across this name. People just can’t seem to get enough of her. And she knows it fair well. It even seems that lately, she’s done more to acquire fame, not in the positive way that is.
She used to be famous for her singing but now the only thing that brings her fame is her behavior. It has gone in the decreasing way. Her personal life has lately received a lot of media attention and it all mainly started after her marriage to Kevin Federline. She’s been trashed and badly named but can we blame people for that? The only person responsible for treating her this way is Britney Spears herself.
Spears’ break came when she released her first single “Baby, one more time” in 1998. This song made her a name in the music industry worldwide intantly. Following it came other great successes like Oops!… I Did It Again, Toxic and Gimme more.
Spears declared in 1999 that she will remain a virgin until marriage. This has been questioned due to her apparently sexual relationship with singer Justin Timberlake. On January, 3 2004 she married her childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander; the marriage lasted only 55 hours! Cause: Spears was not wasn’t able to agreeing to marriage because she claimed that she did not know Alexander that much.
In 2004, she marries Kevin Federline in a very private ceremony and they divorced in 2007. After the death of her aunt (apparently very close to her) on January 21, 2007, it’s the downfall for Britney. She goes on and off rehab facilities, shaves her head with electric clippers, attacks paparazzi with an umbrella… Throughout 2007, it’s chaos in Britney’s life. On top of that, she’s in a constant battle with her ex-husband for the custody of their two boys.
As a result of an order placed by her psychiatrist, she was taken to UCLA Medical Center to be put on a 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold. On February 1, 2008 , a restraining order was issued against Sam Lutfi, a prominent figure in Spears’s life. She was released from hospital on February 6, after being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.
She has regained some visitation rights after seeking an agreement with Federline and his counsel.
Britney sure made a name for herself!
So you think you’re smarter than a fifth grader?
Another one of these shows that you just cannot get enough of. Another one of these game shows where you have to use your brains and prove to the world just how smart you might be.
ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A FIFTH GRADER definitely is a challenge to grown-ups. Contestants are asked questions from the 1st to the 5th grade over various topics. I’m sure that most of them think and tell themselves: “I’ve got this; this is going to be so easy”. Wrong. Not when you’re playing for a million dollars it’s not. The questions are in fact grade school levels but what matters is how much you remember from your time in school when you were a kid. And that will definitely depend on what kind of student you were back then. Most of the contestants are professionals like doctors, engineers, economist…pretty smart people right?
But just when they think it can’t get any worse, they get asked the trickiest questions. Questions they don’t even think have answers.
Luckily, contestants are able to take the test along with actual fifth graders. It is not recommended to cheat in school right? But in ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A FIFTH GRADER, you definitely can, up to a certain point that is. Can’t make it too easy after all, or the game won’t have an actual meaning.
Contestants get a peek (they can look at their classmate answer and decide if they want to go with it or not), a copy (they have to go with their classmate’s answer), or a save (which comes in handy in case they wrongfully answer a question).
The least amount of money you could leave with from the game is twenty-five thousnad dollars and the most 1 million!
Now the last step into the game is making it to the $500 000 question. If the contestant gets it right, they can choose to go for the million dollar question. IUf they get it right, they become a millionaire, if it’s the other way, they go all the way down to $25000. Now this is serious money we’re talking about!
So far, not a single person has one the million. The few that got to the million dollar question and tried to answer it all got it wrong. Life isn’t fun after grade school now is it? Who would have ever thought that these fifth grade questions would be worth millions today!
It’s time to let it all out now!
It’s one of the most appraised shows in the moment. One of the most controversial, one of the most intense and gripping to watch. But yet, it is so easy to get through it. All you have to do is tell the truth. How easy is that? But yet again, don’t be fooled by the questions, they might seem very simple but answering them is another dilemma to figure out. I give you THE MOMENT OF TRUTH!
Prior to the show, contestants are submitted to a polygraph exam. They are asked over 50 questions among which 21 are chosen. All they have to do is answer to them truthfully. Now this must sound pretty easy but some of the questions get pretty intense at each level. Now come on, people are playing for half a million dollars! Can’t let them get it too easy now can we? There has to be a catch right? Well yes, there is one. At any point in the game, if the contestant lies they automatically get cut from the game. They’re not yes, no, maybe questions. Tell the truth, that’s all you have to do. Now imagine that after revealing some very personal stuff on National Television, you answer wrongly to one question and one question is all it takes. Imagine that after putting it all out to the open, and missing one question, you end up with NO money at all! Now this is some very serious stuff!
As they answer the questions, contestants come to a point where they have to ask themselves, “Do I want the money more than destroying my relationship with my family and friends”?
One of the most remembered contestants of THE MOMENT OF TRUTH is Lauren Cleri. After revealing that she had stolen from a job, not being in love with her husband anymore, preferring to give food to a dog rather than a homeless person, and feigning sleep to avoid her husband, you think she would make it to the end? Well no, she lost on a very simple question: “Do you think that you’re a good person?” She answered yes probably because she had remorse after all she’d done but the lie detector determined that she was lying. And now she had lost the money AND her husband. Just ended up with nothing.
When it comes to this game, it’s all about choosing your priorities. But honestly, sometimes some truths should remain hidden, remain untold.
Ms Diana is in the House!
She is one of the biggest names in the music industry in the United States. Around the world, she is a legend. Her name is Diana Ross. After all these years, she is still very renowned and respected in the show-business world. She is not only a singer, but also a producer and an actress as well. She has also written two books: autobiographies.
Diana Ross became most famous by the early 1970’s going into mid 1980’s. Born Diane Ernestine Earle Ross on March 26, 1944, Diana started out as a member of The SUPREMES. After some difficulties with the group, she decided to go solo and this is when this star started to shine.
One of her most famous singles of all time is “Remember me” which came out in 1970. Still today, the song is widely recognized and marks her name with great fame. Diana appears in T.V shows and sitcoms with minor roles but she is never too far from the cameras and always shows a lot of concern for her millions of fans. It just seems like her era of fame will never end.
These days, Mrs. Ross is taking a break from her singing and acting career and decides to spend more time with her family. Her son, Evan Ross Has played a lead role in the movie ATL and her daughter Tracee Ellis Ross is very adored in the super-funny episode GIRLFRIENDS. Talent runs in this family and from the way it looks right now, it’s going to keep going for quite a while.
