Student life at the University of Connecticut

admin

About 75 percent of University of Connecticut students live on campus. This number includes many graduate students. The university hosts many campus events for its students throughout the year and also sponsors around 300 student organizations that are available to its students.

Some of the organizations at the University of Connecticut include fraternities and sororities, musical groups, religious groups, athletics, political groups, cultural groups, business groups, military groups, artistic groups, and community service groups. The university has a student-run newspaper called The Daily Campus. Many students participate in this newspaper and it is actually the largest student newspaper in the state of Connecticut.

UConn is ranked No. 13 in the 2005 Princeton Review list of schools with more things to do on campus than off. The university tries to make the school feel not so rural by providing free bus transportation to many area events and also organizing bus trips to the beaches of Boston, Manhattan, and Connecticut.

One of UConn’s biggest events is the annual Spring Weekend which is highlighted by a concert by big name artists. In 2000, the university featured Outkast and Third Eye Blind, Guster and Nelly in 2001, Fat Joe and Nine Days in 2002, 50 Cent and Busta Rhymes in 2003, Ludacris and Kanye West in 2004, Nas and Fabolous in 2005, OAR in 2006, Dashboard Confessional, Reel Big Fish, and The Starting Line in 2007, and Method Man, Redman, Flo-Rida, and T-Pain in 2008. The University of Connecticut consistently puts on some of the best concerts for its students compared to other universities. state.

Greek life at UConn is not as good as other big universities. However, since 2003, UConn has taken many steps to improve Greek life on campus and provide a quality Greek life experience for its students. They currently have university-operated Greek housing in the “Husky Village” area at the top of Horsebarn Hill. They also hired full-time staff to handle fraternity and sorority operations. There are currently 27 Greek organizations that have chapters at UConn.

PlayStation 4 release date: sooner than you think?

admin

People have been raving about the PlayStation 3, the stunning graphics, the cellular chip processor, the blue ray, and its amazing capabilities.

Flashback 15 years ago. Capcom released Street Fighter II for arcades. Tecmo released Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES and Sega released Sonic the Hedgehog. Nintendo launches the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).

The release of the 16-bit Sega Genesis in ’89 created competition with Nintendo, which previously dominated the Internet gaming market for home consoles. However, in ’91, the SNES led Nintendo once again.

At the time, Sony was nowhere to be found in the games industry. However, by this time, Sony had seen the power of video game consoles and quietly began working on a console that would rival Nintendo and Sega as the best game console on the market at the time. The Sony PlayStation became the first game console to sell over 100 million game units in March 2005. Sony also had the ability to play audio CDs, as Sony refused to say that it was strictly a gaming console. games. This trend continued when PlayStation 2 launched and became the fastest selling console, selling over 105 million copies between October 26, 2000 and March 31, 2006. The PS2 had the ability to not only be compatible with earlier versions on PlayStation 1 games, but also played music and DVD movies.

Fast forward to the present and Microsoft has now entered as a major player by introducing its second gaming console, the Xbox360, which followed the Xbox. And even though Nintendo had no outside revenue from such things as stereos, computer software, home appliances, and entertainment systems, they refused to be a major player in the game console market. They released the Nintendo Wii which will compete not only with the Xbox360 but it was released in time for the Christmas holidays to compete with the new PlayStation 3.

The PlayStation 3 is nothing short of amazing. The Blu-ray drive enables playback of ultra-high-density optical discs capable of storing digital media, including high-definition video, for some of the most stunning graphics you’ll ever see. It also comes with a bluetooth wireless controller and, more importantly, the cellular processing chip, the same chip used in some supercomputers.

According to wikipedia, during the launch in Japan on November 11, 2006, PlayStation3 sold 81,639 copies in the first 24 hours. It remains out of print and was found selling for up to $15,000 on Ebay. If the built-in 20GB hard drive isn’t enough, the PS3 also comes in a premium version that contains not only a 60GB hard drive, but also multiple flash card readers.

Will we see a PlayStation 4? Not only is the answer earlier than many people think, but according to Sony’s Ken Kutaragi, they plan to release it within the next decade.

“My dream, and the dream of my whole team, is not over,” Kutaragi recently told the BBC. “In fact, we haven’t accomplished half of what we’re going to do.”

“We want to lead with PlayStation 3, and beyond that, with PlayStation 4 in the next decade.”

One can only speculate on what the future of PlayStation will bring. It’s hard to imagine it getting much better, but still, each release manages to innovate and exceed expectations. But one thing is for sure, they will always seek to bring more to their hungry consumers and will continue to look for ways to improve technology beyond current capabilities.

Food Trucks: The Real Mobile Parties

admin

From the staple meal of casseroles, beans, and crackers, we’ve come a long way and expect much more than the old cellophane-wrapped sandwich from the ’50s and ’60s, along with stale coffee. Ethnic cuisines and hot meals made to order are now commonplace for busy office workers and we are willing to pay top dollar for convenience.

In the 1950s, mobile canteens served US Army troops on bases and maneuvers, but they were little more than regulation food. Americans expect much more, and creative vendors are happy to answer the call. From early ice cream trucks to hot dog vendors with their Viennese beef umbrellas, thousands are pouring out of offices, factories, and stores, heading for that truck down the street where they know what they’ll find and don’t care what to do next. tail. it’s. Who needs vending machine food or fast food burgers when we can get fresh falafel packed in pita bread, a plate of nachos, or authentic fish and chips wrapped in newspaper? Evolved from the “cockroach trainer” of the past to a place that launched the careers of many executive chefs, food trucks now even cater to special events, college campuses, conferences, and weddings.

Let’s take a look at the latest and most popular offerings of these meals on wheels across the country. Most of these truck operators also have restaurants in multiple locations, and many are chefs and culinary school graduates:

The Grilled Cheeserie: From Basic Sandwiches to Designer Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Nashville

The Taco Truck – A variety of tacos and toppings as well as burritos, Hoboken, NJ

Fukuburger Truck – real surname of its Japanese owner, burgers feature unusual Asian dressings and sauces, Las Vegas

Mac Mart Truck – Take Mac & Cheese to a New Level with Creative Ingredients, Philadelphia

Luke’s Lobster: Lobster, crab and shrimp rolls for around $17 (clearly not for those on a budget) New York City

The Cow and Curd – Cheese curds, battered and fried, with dipping sauces, Philadelphia

Kogi BBQ: Creative and Diverse Korean Cuisine, Los Angeles

Ms. Cheezious – More Designer Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, One of America’s Favorite Comfort Foods, Miami

Cinnamon Snail – Vegan food for the more health conscious, meatless crowd, without a snail in sight (go figure) NYC

Oink and Moo BBQ: Award Winning Pork and Beef BBQ with all the trimmings, NJ

If you venture into ethnic neighborhoods, like a big city’s Chinatown, you’ll obviously find a preponderance of their native cuisines on the streets, but in general, these are the most common menu items across the country:

grill
Burgers
hot dogs
Coffee and coffee drinks
Healthy smoothies/drinks and juices
Grilled cheese sandwiches “for adults”
sliders
cupcakes and desserts
Street tacos and burritos
Sushi
lobster rolls
Mediterranean menus / Gyros
Crepes with special toppings
Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwiches
Pizza
Ice cream and soft serve
Shaved Ice / Italian Ice
Indian food
hawaiian food
chicken wings

In the US, food trucks are a $1.2 billion industry. Despite obvious challenges such as a lack of hot running water, strict regulations, licensing, and health laws, food trucks play an important role in our society, providing a vital service to thousands of workers everywhere. While the dumped cars may just be nostalgia, the concept lives on. Food trucks. When you just can’t wait to eat.

Buying Goatees and Sweaters

admin

Selecting new knobs and pulls is a fun task that requires many different considerations. First it is important to understand the differences between the different types of knobs and handles. Knobs are small round balls that stick to the drawer or cabinet. Pulls can include knobs or handles, which are longer and thinner. Both knobs and handles serve the same function, which is to open cabinets and drawers. The most common places where knobs and pulls are needed include the kitchen, bathroom, and some cabinets with drawers and cupboards. Selecting the right kind of hardware for your space is certainly an important job that requires answering a lot of questions, but at the end of the process, you’ll have cabinets and drawers that look completely different than they did before.

Style

One of the first things to consider when thinking about knobs and pulls is the type of style you want to invoke. The hardware should certainly match the cabinets and drawers, but it should also be highly functional. Some pieces are more difficult to grip than others, so it’s important to try out several types of knobs and handles before making a decision on which one you like best.

Color is also an important part of the style, and there are many different colors available. Metal hardware usually comes in silver or yellow, depending on the type of metal that is selected. However, glass and plastic handles and knobs can be very colorful.

material

We’ve already talked about the different types of materials that are available for knobs and pulls, but it’s important to realize that there are advantages and disadvantages to different materials. Metal is without a doubt the most popular material right now because it lasts forever, but glass is becoming more popular due to the wide selection of colors available. Some of the very high-quality glass hardware products are capable of taking a fair bit of abuse, although chipping is still a real problem with some glass pieces. Just remember that metal is the most durable, closely followed by glass. Plastic tends to break very easily, so it’s best to avoid cheap plastic knobs.

Cabinet and drawer sizes

Another important aspect to take into account are the sizes of the cabinets and drawers. Just as every kitchen has different sizes of doors and drawer fronts that need knobs and pulls, there are also many different sizes of pulls available. Start by thinking about the face size of each item that needs hardware. In the case of handles or flat handles, it may be possible to use the same piece for the entire room. However, sometimes it may be necessary to choose a hardware line that offers more than one size. This will ensure that you can size each of the hardware pieces appropriately. Remember that a very small drawer with a huge knob is going to look pretty weird, so you may need the smaller size for a smaller drawer. Just use your judgment of what looks good when selecting the best sweaters.

Another part of the size is the weight of the drawers and chests of drawers. Hardware is made for different weights, and sometimes you may find a piece that doesn’t work with very heavy cabinet doors or drawers that are difficult to pull out. Sometimes it is possible to purchase a higher quality screw than the ones that come with the hardware. This will help prevent the screw from breaking.

Innovations in electricity

admin

Although the modern electrical utility industry did not begin until the late 1800s, electricity has fascinated us since our ancestors first saw lightning. The ancient Greeks discovered that rubbing amber produced an electrical charge. Electricity is a basic part of nature and is one of our most used forms of energy. It is a secondary energy source that we obtain from the conversion of primary sources such as natural gas, oil, coal and nuclear energy. Many cities and towns were built next to waterfalls that turned water wheels to perform work. Before the beginning of electricity generation, kerosene lamps lit homes, ice chests were used to keep food cold, and rooms were heated by stoves. Today’s “necessities” such as light bulbs, fans, air conditioners, and refrigerators stem from the ideas of inventors who lived more than 100 years ago. Many of us are familiar with Benjamin Franklin’s famous kite experiment and Thomas Edison’s electric light bulb, but there were many other inventors who contributed greatly to our modern uses of electricity. Some of these inventors simply sought to improve on old ideas and others saw the need and let their curiosity run wild with each experiment until they discovered something new. Each invention paved the way for the next.

In the mid-17th century, Otto von Guericke, a German physicist, began experimenting with generating electricity. In 1670 he invented the first machine to produce electricity in large quantities using a spinning ball of sulfur and holding his hand against the ball, charging it with electricity. Others, like Isaac Newton, later used this machine by using a glass ball instead of sulfur, and then a cylinder, and then a glass plate.

In 1747 Benjamin Franklin began to experiment with electricity and proposed the notion of positive and negative charge. He performed his famous kite experiment to show that lightning was a form of electrical discharge in 1752. During a thunderstorm, he flew a kite with a stiff wire pointing upwards attached to the top of the kite and a key tied to the other end of the rope , and let it hang near a jar. The rope got wet from the rain and caused sparks to fly from the key into the jar until the jar couldn’t take any more loads. This experiment showed that electricity and lightning are the same thing and that pointed rods conduct electricity better than balls, which led Franklin to invent the lightning rod. From this experiment, the principles of electricity were gradually understood.

In 1800, an Italian professor, Alessandro Volta, invented the voltaic battery which is now called an electric cell or battery. He made a stack of disks out of zinc, paper soaked in acid or salt, and copper, and when he touched both ends he received a shock. The volt is named after Volta. Another, who in the first half of the 19th century contributed greatly to our modern uses of electricity, was Michael Faraday. He conducted experiments on electricity and magnetism that led to modern inventions like the motor, generator, telegraph, and telephone. In 1831 he experimented with induction and discovered a way to generate a lot of electricity at once. We use its principle of electromagnetic induction to generate electricity today in electric utility plants.

In the mid-19th century, the invention of the electric light bulb changed everyone’s life. This invention used electricity to bring indoor lighting into our homes. Thomas Edison, an American inventor, did not invent the light bulb, but he improved on a 50-year-old idea and invented an incandescent light bulb. Many people before him had developed forms of electric lighting, but none of them were practical for home use. In 1879, after experimenting for a year and a half, he used lower-current electricity, a charred filament of sewing thread, and an improved vacuum inside the globe to produce a practical electric light bulb. Edison demonstrated his incandescent lighting system to the public as he electrically illuminated the Menlo Park laboratory complex. He realized the need for an electrical distribution system to provide power for lighting and in 1882 the first central commercial incandescent electricity generating station provided light and electric power to customers in a one square mile area in the city of New York. This was the beginning of the electric age, as the industry was evolving from gas and electric carbon arc street and commercial lighting systems. In the late 1880s, the demand for electric motors drove industry to 24-hour service, and the demand for electricity for transportation and the needs of industry increased dramatically. Many US cities now had small central stations, however each was limited to an area of ​​only a few blocks due to inefficiencies of direct current (DC) transmission. As electricity spread throughout the world, Edison’s various electric companies continued to expand until they came together to form Edison General Electric in 1889. Three years later, Edison General Electric merged with its main competitor Thompson-Houston and the company simply became General Electric.

One of Thomas Edison’s main rivals was George Westinghouse Jr., a pioneer in the electrical industry. In 1886 he founded the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company to pursue alternating current (AC) technology. An AC power system allowed voltages to be “stepped up” by a transformer for distribution, which reduced power losses, and then “stepped down” by a transformer for consumer use. He thought Edison’s low-voltage direct current-based power grid was too inefficient to be scaled up to a large size. In 1885, Westinghouse purchased power transformers developed by Lucien Gaulard and John Dixon Gibbs. Transformers were not a new invention, however this design was one of the first that could handle large amounts of power, and yet it was easily manufactured. Using these transformers and a Siemens alternating current generator, he began experimenting with alternating current networks. Westinghouse worked to refine the transformer design and build a practical alternating current electrical network with the help of William Stanley and Franklin Leonard Pope. In 1886, Westinghouse and Stanley installed the first multi-voltage alternating current power system. The network was powered by a hydroelectric generator that produced 500 volts. The voltage was increased to 3,000 volts for distribution and later reduced to 100 volts to power the electric lights. This device made it possible to extend electrical service over a wide area and allowed the availability of alternating current in different voltages, forming the basis of modern electrical power distribution. Over the next year, 30 more AC lighting systems were installed, but the method was limited because they lacked an efficient metering system and an AC electric motor. In 1888, Westinghouse and his engineer Oliver Shallenberger created a power meter that would be more effective, and the same basic meter technology is still in use today.

Nikola Tesla was one of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial electricity. He was originally an employee of Thomas Edison and invented a system that transmitted alternating current, as opposed to Edison’s direct current system. Edison opposed Tesla’s idea, so Tesla established his own laboratory and announced his invention of the first practical alternating current induction motor and polyphase power transmission system in 1888. The polyphase system would allow the transmission of current electricity. alternates over long distances. Westinghouse asked Nikola Tesla to join his electric company where Tesla continued his work on the alternating current induction motor and Westinghouse acquired exclusive patent rights to Tesla’s polyphase system. All of our current electric motors work according to principles established by Tesla, like the motor that produces high-frequency signals used in radios and televisions. He also set the standard for the transmission current frequency, 60 hertz, which we still operate today.

Westinghouse and Edison fought over the distribution of alternating current power and direct current power. Edison used only direct current because he thought alternating current was dangerous, but Westinghouse thought the risks could be controlled and outweighed the benefits. Even General Electric eventually switched to alternating current. In 1893, the Westinghouse Company won the contract to establish an AC grid to light the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago and later to establish the first long-range power grid using three giant AC generators to harness power from the Falls. Niagara into electrical energy. power for distribution 25 miles away.

Now, more than 100 years later, think about how much we use and depend on electricity every day to meet what we consider to be our “basic needs” like alarm clocks, traffic lights, computers, and televisions. When we walk into a dark room and flip on the light switch, we expect instant light. It is interesting to think that this was once just a dream and it took many inventors to make it come true.

How many calories should I eat to lose weight? – You could gain weight if you make a mistake

admin

Starting a new diet can be very challenging, from figuring out what foods you can and cannot eat, what time of day you should eat, and of course how many calories you should eat to lose weight.

Fortunately, figuring out the correct number of calories for your own body is a fairly simple calculation. The number of calories you can eat per day is based on a few different factors, including your age, gender, weight, height, and finally, your general activity level. In general, women need fewer calories per day than men, and the more active you are in daily life, the more you can eat without gaining weight.

There are many online calorie calculators to find out how many calories your body needs each day to maintain your weight. For example, a 30-year-old woman who weighs 150 pounds and is 5 feet 3 inches tall with a slightly active lifestyle (perhaps exercising 1 or 2 times a week) burns about 1,873 calories per day.

This means that this woman can eat up to 1,873 calories every day to maintain her current weight. Figuring out how many calories she should eat from here is pretty simple. A pound of fat has 3,500 calories, so to lose 1 pound of fat per week, she would have to cut 500 calories from her diet per day. So she could eat 1,373 calories per day to lose weight.

If she went on a diet and ate 1,373 calories per day on average, she would lose 1 pound of fat per week. Going below 1,200 calories per day is generally not recommended for anyone. If she does, she can slow down her metabolism and keep her from losing much fat, which is incredibly counterproductive, especially since she’s most likely torturing herself on such a low-calorie diet.

A better idea would be to combine a 500 calorie deficit and increase the amount of exercise you do to burn an additional 500 calories per day. This would create a fat burn of 1000 calories per day and would mean losing 2 pounds of fat per week.

So to determine how many calories you should eat to lose weight, calculate how many calories you burn using an online calculator and subtract 500.

Another quick way to get an estimate of your daily calorie burn is to multiply your weight by 13 if you don’t exercise at all, by 16 if you exercise a few times a week, and by 19 if you exercise every day for a period of time. hour or more. However, you’ll get more accurate numbers if you use a calculator that incorporates your age and height.

Is the Revo Styler a good buy? Find out in this review

admin

Wondering if the Revo Styler is a good buy? I’m sure you’ve seen this product on the late night infomercials. This hair styling product is a handheld rotating round brush. It claims that it adds shine, volume and vibrancy to your hair. I personally own this product and wanted to provide a review to help you decide if this product is right for you.

What is different about the Revo Hair Styler? The brush is made of nylon and boar bristles. Nylon bristles help bring hair to the brush. There’s a reason they use boar hair in brushes. Boar bristle smoothes hair and adds texture and shine. In addition to that, the rotating brush helps to style and add volume to the hair.

The Revo Styler works as follows

1. The instructions say you should wash your hair and partially dry it. It specifically tells you not to use hair products on your hair before using the Revo Styler.

2. You hold the brush a few inches from your head and smooth the entire length of the hair down to the scalp. The brush can rotate at slow or fast speed. A switch allows you to change the direction of rotation. Until you get used to the brush, use the low speed.

3. The instructions suggest that you use small sections of the hair. When you are using the brush, be very careful that your hair does not get tangled. It doesn’t hurt if your hair gets tangled. The brush has a safety lock and stops if it encounters too much resistance. Also, it is easy to detangle without damaging the hair.

4. Once you start to comb your hair, you may find it uncomfortable to use. It is heavy, which makes it difficult to hold. It may take up to a couple of weeks to get used to it.

The Revo Styler comes with the following

  • Large rotating brush
  • styling brush
  • charging cradle
  • sectioning clip
  • a comb

hand tips

Almost dry your hair completely first and then finish with the Revo Styler. This way you can use both hands for the blow dryer and then for the styler. Also use lots of hair clips and use small sections of hair while styling with the brush.

The Revo Styler is a great styling tool, but it takes a bit of getting used to. There is an instructional video that comes along with it. It really helps to visually see how to use the brush. Personally, I am impressed with the ability to straighten, add volume and nice soft curls to my hair. All at the same time!
