Effect of Psycho-Social Determinants on Survey: Sexual Behaviour of Adolescents and Young Adults

   Please help me out with my Statistics assignment. My lecturer asked us to print out 50 questionnaires and get people to fill them, then calculate thee frequency distribution of the data and submit it. I figured I could get way more than 50 responses with less effort if I used the internet. I also tried to pick an interesting topic. You are totally anonymous in this survey so please reply truthfully. Thanks a lot!

Episode 22: Stan Lee - King of the Cameo

        What's happening people? Today, I'll be writing about one of my role models, Mr. Stanley Martin Lieber, popularly known by his pen name Stan Lee. Stan is a writer, editor, publisher, actor, television personality and producer and contrary to what some of my friends think (I'm looking at you Stanley Ejiogu), he's not an artist. He co-created most of Marvel's most popular characters such as Spiderman (my fav!), the Fantastic Four, Thor, Ironman, the Hulk and the original X-men. He didn't create Captain America (he was still an errand boy at Marvel, then known as Timely Comics) but he did co-write Captain America Comics #3 at the age of 19, where he first used the pen name "Stan Lee". 'Nuff said. You could get more info than I can give at Wikipedia, so I'm not going to try to write a biography. I'll be talking about Stan Lee's cameos.
       A cameo is a brief appearance by a famous actor in a movie or TV show. Imagine you're watching an episode of your favorite sitcom and suddenly see Will Smith playing a very random, unimportant role. That's a cameo. Stan has made many cameos in movies, television shows, even cartoons and comic books (even in a DC Comics show, he attended someone's funeral in Superman). He played a bus driver in the TV series "Heroes", played himself in an episode of "Big Bang Theory" and so on, so I'm going to limit this article to his appearances in Marvel movies. So sit back, read, laugh and enjoy!

EDIT: I'm sorry, I noticed that some of the images on this article are no longer showing. Please be patient and check back while I fix that and update this page with Stan's 2014 cameos.

Episode 21 - Project Monkey - Gone till November

         It's sad to say, but I hard to make a tough decision. Me and my love decided that maybe we needed to take a break because she caught me spending more time with someone else. I've been spending a lot of time playing basketball this semester. We've been training hard for the pre-NUGA (Nigerian University Games) which should be in December and in the last two weeks, our team (University of Ibadan basketball team) has played five matches, just to get us in shape for December. The thing is, with all that time spent on basketball, I can't do much programming this semester and still get good grades so I've decided to stop programming until after my exams in November. This means I'm also taking a break from Project Monkey.
          I still want to get the game out in the first quarter of 2013 so when I resume in November, I think I'll get a friend to join me in coding the game, and then I'll get my second brother to learn modelling and join my other brother who's already making the models for the game. He just went back to school by the way, but he was able to complete the model for Mmiri (picture below) before he left. I'm trying not to get too many people involved in this project because this is supposed to be a learning experience for me. I could even use some of the default code that comes with the game engine I'm using, but I'm coding everything from scratch so that I'll learn how even the default codes work.
