![]() Like all time-travel films, there's a jarring, nonsensical moment when the altered past has to meet the join of the unaltered present, but it's all carried off with a mad and silly energy, with muscular direction from Scott and cut together with frenetic fizz by editors Jason Hellman and Chris Lebenzon. He actually smashes into people while he is doing this, his mighty Hummer crushing their paltry civilian automobiles! Tony Scott duly exploits the opportunity to show cars crashing innocent people must have been grievously hurt, surely? But does Washington worry? Heavens, no! He shares the director's own magnificent indifference. The best bits come when Washington is still in the here and now, zooming merrily along in a Humvee using a special portable virtual-reality scanner clamped to one eye to track the killer's past movements, driving along this same highway four days previously. As in Jonathan Demme's remake of The Manchurian Candidate, the film paradoxically feels more comfortable with a white American in the terrorist-villain role, rather than an alienated Arab or Muslim: an approach that avoids ethnic offence and even appears daringly liberal, but actually implies that only Americans are equal to the task of successfully attacking other Americans. We find out early on that the terrorist culprit is an American, played by Jim Caviezel, an ultra-patriot extremist nut. After a ferry is bombed in New Orleans, an A.T.F. After an awful, plasma-screen-smashing row about the ethics of the whole business, the scientists are persuaded to let Washington hunch into their special pod, resembling the nosecone of Apollo 9, in which he can travel back in time, on a desperate mission to prevent the bombing and get jiggy with Claire in her pre-corpse state. With Denzel Washington, Paula Patton, Val Kilmer, Jim Caviezel. Their invention is like one of those Sky+ gizmos that allows you to "freeze" live TV sports events while you make a cup of tea, and then lets you resume watching on a time-delay.

Washington's heart is melted by discovering the body of a beautiful woman called Claire (Paula Patton) who appears to have been separately killed by the terrorist before the bombing took place.

Tapping underserved and developing markets, such as Brazil, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, with heavily discounted classic games has paid off. That’s helped the Osaka-based firm break the cycle of earnings volatility that depends on big new releases by capitalising heavily on its back catalogue of games, analysts said. About 70 per cent of its sales come from games released in the previous fiscal year or earlier, an unusually high proportion for an industry typically driven by new content, art and adventures. Of analysts covering the company, seven rate it a hold and 10 a buy, with one sell.Ĭapcom is somewhat of an oddity in the $US200 billion gaming industry. It’s doing so despite lagging peers in the smartphone gaming arena, which now makes up half the industry’s sales. The rally means Capcom, which reports earnings on Wednesday, is trading at valuations well in excess of many of its biggest rivals, from Konami Group to Bandai Namco Holdings. That’s in part because the $US11 billion ($16.2 billion) company has punched well above its weight, spawning Hollywood franchises such as Resident Evil and Monster Hunter.Ĭapcom has punched well above its weight, spawning Hollywood franchises such as Resident Evil and Monster Hunter.

If you didn’t see any official MCAT questions until the month of your exam, you may find that your practice was not as effective as you had hoped, and, at that point, it may be too late to switch gears. Punctuate your MCAT practice with official AAMC practice tests so you can see how you are progressing with the most complex, and true to format, practice materials. In our 6-month study schedule, we recommend taking between 8-10 full-length MCAT exams throughout your study period, with one at the beginning and end, and other regularly scheduled throughout your months of prep to establish your progress on a regular basis. This will give you the means to measure the effectiveness of your study tactics. Saving all of the official AAMC practice tests until the end of your MCAT preparation is a mistake because you will not truly know what you are up against. If the AAMC practice tests are the most representative of the real MCAT, shouldn’t you save them for later in my MCAT practice? Nope! To best determine how to study for the MCAT you’ll need to look at official MCAT questions. Need MCAT study help? Check out our video to learn the strategies we teach our students: This is the best way to ensure that your baseline score is accurate, to see how you cope with the grueling test length, and to ensure that the study schedule you create will effectively address your gaps in knowledge and test-taking strategies. ![]() We recommend using one of the AAMC’s full-length practice MCAT exams. Take this practice exam in one sitting with breaks and, ideally, in an environment that mimics test-day conditions. Although “at the outset” is the general rule for when to take your diagnostic MCAT, more specifically you should only take it when you’re truly ready to start preparing. Don’t take it on a whim during your first year of college, nor at any other time before you’ve completed your important introductory-level medical school prerequisites in chemistry, biology, physics, and so on. Think of the diagnostic MCAT as your first day of official MCAT preparation, and only take it when you’re ready to begin the work in earnest.Īs noted, the best diagnostic MCAT is one that matches or replicates the actual test, right down to the ratios of questions per subject. Before you start making study plans, you’ll need answers to basic questions like “ How hard is the MCAT?” and “ How long is the MCAT?”, and the best way to really internalize this information is with a comprehensive diagnostic test. Part of this is also providing yourself with an approximate MCAT score so you know where you stand, allowing you to use a score converter to obtain your scaled score from the number of correct answers. You may feel unready to take a diagnostic test before reviewing content in each of these areas, but this is the wrong attitude. Performing well on the diagnostic is not important-you simply want to know where you’re at now, and then proceed from here with clear and comprehensive knowledge of your strengths and weaknesses. The only truly accurate way to gauge your baseline performance is to do a full-length MCAT that covers each of the MCAT’s sections, which are: With each full-length practice exam taking seven and a half hours to complete, this may seem like an unnecessarily time consuming step, but a good diagnostic test is completely necessary. Why? A proper diagnostic test that mimics the structure and length of the actual MCAT will give you an accurate measure of your current knowledge, without which you’d only be guessing at what you need to review and improve upon. The MCAT is also different from exams you have taken up until this time, both in length and the amount of content it covers, so you should not rely on how you did on other exams as a proxy. However, no matter what your timeframe is or what you need to focus on during your studying, the first step is always the same: a full-length MCAT diagnostic test. When you’re ready to embark on your months of preparation you’ll assuredly wonder where to start. If you are wondering how to study for the MCAT and where to start, you are not alone. Why Should I Take an MCAT Diagnostic Test?Īlthough there are some medical schools that don't require the MCAT, most of them do. Since it’s a grueling, day-long exam, you’ll need to plan your study schedule well ahead of time in order to perform well. Additionally, you want to do everything you can to avoid needing to retake the MCAT, so making sure you optimize your study plan is essential. You don’t want to have to do all this again a few months later! ![]() If you are looking for low-cost or free invoicing or accounting products, you may want to consider the following. Free and low-cost accounting and invoicing software However, since the price for ERP software can easily range from $10,000 to $100,000 plus implementation fees, and the focus of this review is on free and low-cost applications, ERP solutions have not been taken into consideration.

More sophisticated versions may include modules for payroll, inventory control, sales analysis and enhanced reporting. The simplest programs help you pay bills, prepare invoices, calculate sales taxes, automate general ledger transactions, and track cash flow, revenue and expenses.
Four of them are sacred.” (Surat At-Tawbah 36). The Hijri calendar ( Arabic:, romanized : al-taqwm al-hijr ), also known in English as the Muslim calendar and Islamic calendar, is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 lunar months in a year of 354 or 355 days. The Quran reads: “Lo! The number of the months with Allah is twelve months by Allah’s ordinance in the day that He created the heavens and the earth. Performing as many forms of worship as possible is greatly encouraged. Why are Rajab, Dhu Al Qaeda, Dhu Al Hijjah and Muharram special?ĭuring these four sanctified months, war is prohibited unless out of necessity and only in self-defence. In recent times, some Muslims have begun exchanging greeting cards to celebrate the holiday, and wishing someone a “Happy New Hijri Year” is considered polite. In contrast to Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha, there are no religious observances prescribed for Al Hijra and it is generally regarded as a day of reflection rather than celebration. The Islamic calendar, the Hebrew calendar, and the Hindu calendar also use months. all 12 months in the Islamic calendar are either 29 or 30 days long. A year is divided into 12 months in the modern-day Gregorian calendar. It was from this definitive moment that Muslims formed a state based on Islamic teachings, and Islam began to flourish and spread as a major religion.

If so, you need something to tie it to ground either through the use of earth anchors or bolts embedded in concrete. If you are located somewhere with significant ground freeze in the winter but you want the shed to remain true and plumb during your lifetime, none of the methods you mentioned will do so unless the deck piers mentioned go below frost line. Are you somewhere with significant ground freezing? Do you want this shed to remain level and plumb as the day you set/build it? If you aren't so concerned with things remaining level and plumb and waves in the floor, then any of the methods you mentioned will work out just fine. Any preferences or reasons to do one over the other? With the Flat Concrete Blocks, would I still need skids? I'm trying to decide between Flat Concrete Blocks on gravel base vs partially buried (maybe 4in?) Deck Piers. I was going to spring for a concrete pad, but I've decided to go the easier route with this size of shed. I'm planning on building a 12x12 or 12x16 shed soon, but going back and forth on foundation options. For a shed on skids, there are anchoring systems available similar to the ones used for trailer homes.Īny DIY'ers or Construction Gurus Out There? Wind load should also be considered, as previously suggested. Moving and leveling are reasons pre-built sheds are built onto skids. It is also very easy to level out a shed on skids in any location by using concrete blocks under the skids. I jacked the front of the shed up and placed the PVC pipes under the skids and rolled the shed (using the 2"x4" as a lever) by constantly moving the PVC pipes back to front, spacing them about 5' apart. Due to the skids, I was able to do so by myself using three 4" PVC pipes, a floor jack, and a 2"x4". When I built my 16' x 24' shed, I had to move a 10' x 12' shed. ![]() The skids form the backbone of the shed and will allow easy relocation, if needed in the future. ![]() Therefore, I would have hindered my property's ability to shed water if I didn't leave space between the shed and the ground.Ī properly prepared gravel pad with skids would be my preferred option for a smaller shed. In my case, my shed location is in the same location that my property collects and diverts water towards the street. In my area, a shed on a concrete slab is considered a permanent structure and affects property value whereas a shed sitting on the ground or blocks does not. One consideration not mentioned is how your municipality treats outbuildings when assessing property value and, hence, property taxes. I built my own 16' x 24' shed about 3 years ago. Need and go 25% bigger and you will be happy. Kids bikes and yard toys take up a lot of space. Build double doors on at least two sides so you can access Go big or go home when it comes to a shed. A tall roof will allow you to hang all sorts of equipment from the roof trusses. This will enable you to hang all sorts of When building your shed I suggest at least walls 8 feet high. They have trailers with all sorts of hydraulics that can place a shed exactly where you want it placed.

Where I live in PA, skunks, rabbits, and groundhogs love to built a permanent home under sheds. Ground will cause all sorts of issues with your doors and the long term integrity of your shed, so I have a 20 x 12 shed and the foundation cost me $1500. They installed 4 x 6 wooden posts 1.5 feet outside the diameter of my shed, and filled thisĪrea in with rock so it was level. When I did my last foundation for a shed I hired someone to level an area in my yard with a load ![]() It is good to think about any demographic data that would be useful as well, e.g. A suggested option for the class is to develop an online questionnaire where students can input their responses to all the groups different survey questions (from their individual data card), for example, using Google Forms. This reduces the amount of time needed to collate data and the data can be downloaded into a.For categorical variables, the station will include the survey question with any response options. See for example the data cards used in the 2019 CensusAtSchool survey. A recording card can be used to record individual student responses. Measurement stations could be set up around the room for students to make their measures for the different survey questions designed.See session 2 in Crunch the Coach and particularly the data collection stations for additional ideas.Exploring the guide on how to make measures for the CensusAtSchool questionnaire.

This is ok as later they will have to do a measurement variable. height, arm length) and the group of interest (the class). They should identify the variable of interest (e.g. Support the students to develop an appropriate investigative question to ask of the data.

If not reject the idea.Is this a measurement/idea that the students in our class would be happy to share information with everyone? If not reject the idea.Once the initial brainstorming of ideas is done interrogate the ideas by checking them using the following questions:.Ideas from this prompt may tend to be more categorical variables. Ask what other things school uniform or sportswear manufacturers may be interested in to help with their creation of clothing or footwear.Students who do not want to be measured could become the measurer for a measurement station. Ideas around the ethics of data collection are attended to in 4. Note: that some students may be sensitive about being measured. Ideas from this prompt should mostly be numerical (measured) variables. Brainstorm things that could be measured and compared (height, head circumference, arm span, handspan, foot length).Research online information about sizing guides as well. Introduce differences in sizes by asking for volunteers and standing two students up to discuss what about them could be measured to inform clothing or footwear producers. Tell the students that school uniform manufacturers may be interested in information about different body sizes.PROBLEM: Generating ideas for statistical investigation and developing investigative questions For example, replace school uniforms with clothing for sports teams or cultural groups. the statistical enquiry process can be applied to many topics and selecting ones that are of interest to your students should always be a priority. ![]() The context for this unit can be adapted to suit the interests and experiences of your students. providing teacher support at all stages of the investigation.using collaborative grouping so students can support each other and experience both tuakana and teina roles.encouraging sharing and discussion of students' thinking.providing prompts for writing descriptive statements.setting up blank CODAP documents with the data already in and some graph blanks ready to use for students.varying the type of analysis – and the support given to do the analysis.varying the type of data collected categorical data can be easier to manage than numerical data.The learning opportunities in this unit can be differentiated by providing or removing support to students and by varying the task requirements.
