TOP 10 SONGS BY NIRVANA

There are a few things I would like to talk about before moving on to the list.Every time I have tried reviewing songs from Nirvana,I end up adding photographs of Kurt Cobain performing,or just him in focus but I cant really help it! Apologies for that (if necessary). I have been listening to and loving Nirvana a lot,lately.So,I thought this would be the next Top 10 compilation after that of Pink Floyd. The other thing is really important and I mean every word of it.In case you listen to My Girl
(Where did you sleep last night?/In The Pines),Something In The Way or The Man Who Sold The World or Pennyroyal Tea(intensity is less in case of this); you will have to ensure you have enough mental strength to listen to them because they can be really and very evidently depressive,though at the same time being motivational (the first song is very motivational).The genre of the song,that is - Grunge, the melody,the bass guitar played in very deep tones and Cobains involvement while singing,which is indeed a very good quality compiled together can be dangerously depressive,especially if you too have a habit of getting involved in what you are listening to.All of these songs listed are really impressive,in case of every attribute you can expect a song to consist of.If you are a Grunge/Rock,you should listen to every song enlisted here.The philosophy present in the songs are deep and perspectives are from a very genuine angle.These songs are a must for all rock fans.

Create a Bibliography by Taking a Photo

Problem:
How many times have you had to send a student back to complete a proper bibliography for an assignment or project. How many of your struggling students do not understand the correct bibliography process. Students can not see the need for bibliographies but lose marks because it has not been done correctly. Many school even have a cover sheet that the students sign to say that the assignment is all their own work and that a correct bibliography has been provided.

Solution:
EasyBib:
Press Release: New York, May 24, 2011 – From the very beginning, EasyBib has worked to make the old, painstakingly complex bibliography process simple and easy. Now, with their brand new iOS application, citing references just got even easier!

Once the new app is downloaded, writers can use their iDevice camera to quickly scan the barcode of a book, or just type in the books name and, within seconds, an accurate MLA, APA or Chicago style citation is created. After that, the user can add more citations, or email and export the citations to EasyBib.coms popular bibliography management service to be added to other citations being collected.

With the EasyBib app, writers, researcher and students can use their iPhone, iPod 4th Gen or iPad to quickly scan the barcode of a book, or just type it in and the bibliography is created for you. Either save it, include it in your research task or email back to your desktop. Nice little app that is very useful for education.

Healigan has also suggested that their students like QuickCite

The Quick Cite app, available on both iOS and Android for US$0.99, will transform any books barcode into a properly formatted citation. The user simply takes a photo of the book, magazine or journals barcode, and the app automatically emails them a citation formatted in APA, MLA, Chicago, or IEEE format.
