Your Vampric Tutor

Your Vampric TutorIf you're considering a vampiric tutor for your Sims 3 game, you have a lot of options. There are a lot of different tutors that can be found online, and they come in many different packages.You will want to make sure that the tutor you choose is one that fits your needs as a player. For example, if you play a stealthy character, a vampire will not do anything for you. You need a tutor that will allow you to get your vampirism out of the way.You may find that there are many different options available for Sims vampirism tutors. The most popular tutor will allow Sims to become vampires, and then allows them to get vampirism and get it out of the way. In some cases, the tutor may also teach Sims how to channel their vampirism through their Sims.The Vampiric Tutor will teach the various stages of vampirism and how to use their Sims to complete these stages. They will usually recommend a specific character with which to use as a Vampire Sim. These Sims can be purchased from the store or be made by the user.Sometimes the tutor will suggest a character from the opposite sex, but the Sims vamp will not like this. The tutor may suggest that they make the character more attractive to the Sims, or even offer a romantic relationship. This is what is most important to the player and is not worth having an unhappy Sim with a Vampire, even if the game would have been easier. It may end up being better to pick a character with whom the player has a happy relationship.Tutors that offer a romantic relationship are good because they allow the player to marry their Sims. However, this type of tutor usually comes at a higher price. The tutor may suggest that you learn how to live in a circle and when it is best to feed off of other Sims, such as the Hunter.In addition, the price of the tutor will depend on the packages they offer, the time of year, and other factors. A higher priced tutor may require more attention and may take more time to prepare. This means th at the players who are trying to find a vampiric tutor should also plan their schedule around the tutor's schedule.

Should You Sing With a Cold (+5 Tips to Get Healthy)

Should You Sing With a Cold (+5 Tips to Get Healthy) Sign up successful Singing With a Cold Should You Do It? If you aren’t your usual self because of illness and you have a big vocal audition or performance that you cant miss, don’t panic. Just be sure to take care of your voice before, during, and after. Here are my recommendations: Before: Drink lots of water and get excellent sleep the night before. Avoid  alcoholic beverages or caffeine.  Use a humidifier while you sleep to keep your throat hydrated overnight, and take a long, hot shower the morning of the performance, because the steam will reduce swelling as you inhale.  Gargle, steam, be silent, and have a big cup of hot tea immediately before you go on stage.  Odds are, you’ll make it through. Always Warm Up: Use the following warm ups that are specifically designed for sick singers. During: Don’t force it   rely on what your voice teacher has taught you and make smart decisions.  Adapt pitches if possible, change the key so the song is lower, or if you have control over the repertoire, choose a song that is reliable, has a limited range, and is easy on your vocal cords.  This will save your voice the strain of singing  high notes while swollen.  And remember, sometimes it’s better to cancel than to risk strain or have important ears hear you when you aren’t at your best. After: Don’t relive every moment of the performance.  You did the best you could do under the circumstances and you got through it. Now go home, sleep, and give yourself a break! Tips for Getting Better Just remember if youre feeling strain, its better not to  risk it!  Our instruments are part of our bodies and our bodies take time to heal. Dont be afraid to take some time off. Here are some basic guidelines  to follow: 1. Stay home and stay quiet. If your throat is swollen from too much singing, talking, coughing, or from being covered in mucus (not pretty, but true), the greatest way to heal is to rest completely. So talk yourself down off that “I’ll never sing again” ledge, and just stay home and be quiet for as long as you can stand it. Trust me, everyone you know will thank you for sparing them from your germs. Also, remember that whispering is worse for your voice than speaking out loud, so don’t even bother. Silence is golden, so make it a fun game of charades or grab a blanket and hunker down for a Netflix marathon. 2. Hydrate. It takes around 24 hours for the water you drink to actually refresh your vocal folds. That means if you have a lesson or a performance coming up, drink lots of water the day before. Of course, drinking water any time is helpful, especially when its warm. It’ll make your throat feel better and help you heal in the long run. If your scratchy throat is unexpected and you need to hydrate right away, steam is the only thing that works immediately. Boil a pot of water, bend over it, cover your head with a towel and inhale the  hot air. We won’t tell anyone how weird you look while you’re doing it. 3. Show your throat some love. There are some great tricks to really speed your throat’s recovery. Try gargling with a mixture of salt, warm water, and a little apple cider vinegar. It will help shake the mucus off of your vocal folds and reduce any swelling. Lozenges can also help your throat feel better  try sugar-free Ricola or Pine Brothers Softish Throat Drops. 4. Choose your foods wisely. There are foods that can help and foods that can hurt when you’re sick. I recommend avoiding dairy products, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, grease, and spice. In other words,  don’t have any culinary fun while you’re under the weather. Be boring. Try caffeine-free lemon or chamomile tea with a drop of honey. During meals, bland is best. Have white fish or chicken breast and lots of vegetables and non-acidic fruits. Chicken noodle soup is mom’s go-to food when you’re sick for a reason. Chicken, veggies, warm broth, and bland noodles are a perfect combo for an ailing throat. 5. Talk to the experts. Still not feeling better? It’s time to turn to the professionals you trust. Ask your voice teacher for exercises that can help you, like humming while blowing bubbles into a glass of water through a straw. See your primary care physician and an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist who can take pictures of your vocal folds in action. And of course, follow the instructions given to you by these experts! If they say stay quiet, stay quiet. If they say hum instead of sing, hum instead of sing. If they tell you to drink more fluids and get some rest… well, you get the idea. If you cant make it to a doctor, the chart below contains recommendations for  what to try based on your specific vocal problem. (When in doubt, though, stay calm and stay quiet!) Illness happens to the best of us, and when it does its your cue to take a step back. Singing with a cold isnt fun, so take care of yourself and get better soon! Post Author:  Katie B.

University of Michigan A Student Interview

University of Michigan A Student Interview The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Brendan received a Bachelors degree in Middle Eastern and North African Studies and a Masters in Modern Middle Eastern and North African Studies from University of Michigan. He is currently a tutor in Chicago specializing in historytutoring, french tutoring, math tutoring, and several other subjects. See what he had to say about his experience at University of Michigan: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. How urban or rural is the campus? Did you feel safe on campus? Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Brendan: The University of Michigan does have an urban feel, as the city of Ann Arbor grew up around the school. However, that urban feel is not overwhelming. One always feels as if there is something to do, but without the fast-paced environment of a major city. As for transportation, Ann Arbor has an excellent bus system, although many students prefer walking or riding their bikes. However, for those who prefer to drive, it is rather difficult to find a parking space. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Brendan:The teaching assistants always make a point of telling students at the start of the semester when their office hours are, as do the professors. It is usually easier, however, to schedule a meeting with teaching assistants than it is with professors, although professors with smaller classes have more time to meet with students. It is also rather difficult to meet with academic advisers, solely because they are assigned so many students. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Brendan:Generally, the dorms on campus were clean and well maintained. The dining halls were also quite nice. Finally, most dorms were located close to the main lecture halls, although the dorms on North Campus were quite far and rather isolated. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Brendan:All of the major programs were well represented. My undergraduate and graduate majors were Middle Eastern and North African Studies (MENAS) and Modern Middle Eastern and North African Studies (MMENAS), respectively. I chose to study the Middle East because of my long-standing desire to serve our country. As a whole, the University of Michigan did a good job of supporting my area of study. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Brendan:As a freshman, it was quite easy for me to meet people and make friends. I made friends by simply interacting with others in my hall and by joining a running club. However, I knew many people who made the majority, if not all, of their friends through the University of Michigans very prominent Greek system. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Brendan:The Career Center is generally quite helpful. I knew several students who the Career Center found lucrative jobs for. Although there were recruiting events, I did not attend any. As a result, I cannot say which specific companies recruited on campus. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Brendan:The libraries were usually the best places to study on campus. Although I both worked and studied in several libraries, my favorite was the law library. It was very quiet, open late, and the staff was quite friendly. In fact, I was on a first-name basis with the security guard, Filmore, by the time I finished graduate school. The same, however, cannot be said of the dorm lounges or student union. They were crowded and very noisy. Such an atmosphere is not at all conducive to studying. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Brendan:The University of Michigan is the center of Ann Arbor, so to go downtown all one has to do is walk down the street. Even though Ann Arbor is smaller than cities like Detroit or Chicago, there was always quite a lot to do. There were many good restaurants, movie theaters, coffee shops, stores, etc. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Brendan:The student body is very large. There are usually between 30,000 and 40,000 students during the year. During both my undergraduate and graduate careers, I had large and small classes. Although I did not mind the larger classes, I found the smaller ones more engaging. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Brendan:My fondest memory from college occurred during the second semester of my sophomore year. That semester, I had an Anthropology class that focused on the Middle East. For one class session, we were to read a few Bedouin folk stories from Saudi Arabia. One of the stories was known as The Adwani and the Sbayhi. When Professor Andrew Shryock called on me to discuss the story, I was able to recite it in its entirety. Everyone in the room, including Professor Shryock, was impressed. Indeed, later that day Professor Shryock sent me an email in which he referred to me as, Young Bedouin Master.

Heading Back to School- 5 tips for k-12 students

Heading Back to School- 5 tips for k-12 students 0SHARESShare Summer vacations are the happiest days in every student’s life, but there is no vacation that never ends. Here begins the reverse counting for long summer vacation to end and it brings with it the back-to school blues! It’s obvious to feel lazy and stressful while returning to school after a long hiatus, but here are few tactics that may ease your melancholy and will surely benefit in getting back to school with extra zeal. Summertime freedom is extremely opposite to the rigor and strictness of school. Most of the students are not apprehensive to replace their game bags with school bags. Luckily, there are certain preparations that have to be made in order to easily transit from summer vacations to school sternness. Tips for students to make preparations for school after vacations: • Proper sleeping time â€" Students need to make physical preparations while going back to school after summer vacations. They must make schedule for their sleeping time. This schedule should be practiced strictly a week before the vacations end. • Wake up schedule â€" Sleeping on time in night is not worthy if the wake up time is not set for early morning. You’ll miss your school bus if you not get up on time. So, it’s essential to set a wake up time in order to make your body compliant with early mornings. • Correct eating habits â€" No breakfast, junk food at lunch time and dinner out in evenings is quite common for kids as well as parents during summer vacations. But as the school days approach near, these habits should be changed. Proper and healthy breakfast on time, balanced diet at lunch and dinner must be included in your daily schedule. These eating habits would not only make you healthy but also makes your body adaptable for school strict regime. • Learning and study routine â€" This is the most important point that every student must follow with full dedication. Usually, kids do not study during vacations and enjoy the holiday season, but eventually it is the school that is calling them after holidays. So, they must revise their lessons and begin the learning sessions 1-2 weeks before the holidays finish. This will not only make them perfect for upcoming exams, but will also allow them to refresh their minds. • Arrangements for school â€" It is very necessary for all students to keep their books and other things neatly in bag packs in order to avoid last minute rush while going to school. This can be done a day or two before the first day of school after holidays. Also all the projects and worksheets completed during the vacations should be nicely kept. [starbox id=admin]

Huntington Learning Center Offers Tips for Polishing the College Essay This Holiday Break

Huntington Learning Center Offers Tips for Polishing the College Essay This Holiday Break If your senior is preparing application packages for college next fall, holiday break is a great opportunity to put the finishing touches on some of the more personal elementslike the application essay. The college application essay is easily one of the most important pieces your teen will ever write, and Eileen Huntington, Co-founder and CEO of Huntington Learning Center says that students should give it the attention and care it deserves. Essays that are well written and sincere give admissions officers a glimpse into who an applicant is off paper, she says. As teens prepare to send in their applications in the new year,Huntington encourages them to use the downtime of holiday break to polish their application essays. Here are several tips as they do so: Make sure the essay addresses the prompt. The essay is your teens chance to share something about him or herself that isnt addressed elsewhere in the application package. Be sure your teen clearly and thoroughly answers the essay prompt and offers supporting information that shows why your teen is a strong candidate for admission. Evaluate the unique factor. Many students have strong academic backgrounds and impressive resumes, but the essay is your teens chance to shine. The essay must be thoughtful, personal and genuine. It is the appropriate place for your teen to express who he or she really is. Have your teen read any essay draft through the lens of an admissions officer. What stands out? Does the essay poignantly reflect an experience your teen had or does it sound too generic? Edit. By now, hopefully your teen already has a working draft of the application essay and a teacher or guidance counselor has offered comments. The break is a good time for your teen to address any suggestions to strengthen the essay and do his or her own self-edit. After each new draft, encourage your teen to set the essay aside for a day, then review to ensure it is honest, vivid and expressive, and that the topic is meaningful and appropriate and paints your teen as someone capable of succeeding at college. Proofread. Careless errors say a lot to an admissions officer about an applicant. When your teen gets to a final draft that he or she feels good about, its important to print and proofread the entire essay a day or two later. Fresh eyes will help ensure your teen doesnt gloss over words he or she has written and read several times. You can proofread a draft as well, and your teen should consider bringing the final draft to an English teacher as soon as school resumes. The college application essay could bolster your teens overall application packageencourage him or her to work on making it as great as it can be over holiday break.
