Post subject: Fact vs. Fiction Gamsat The Gold Standard
Dear Readers,
My question relates to the gamsat preparatory text 'The Gold Standard Gamsat'. I wish to purchase this book however I am not confident if it is just a rip off from its associated MCAT textbook.
Having searched the internet I find no information giving evidence to the content of the textbook nor are any sample pages offered. This is most alarming. Furthermore all the questions related to this text, on this forum, appear to be frequently answered by 'md-4-me'. Given this user's previous activity it is reasonable to assume that he/she is a vendor of said text. Hence any opinion brought foward by 'md-4-me' is most likely heavily biased.
Thus if anyone has actually used or read this book I would incredibly grateful if you could share your thoughts. To emphasize please reply only if you have first handedly witnessed Gamsat the Gold Standard. There is too much speculation pertaining to this book on the internet and I am actively seeking the truth.
I apologise if my question suggests otherwise of what is potentially a legitimate textbook. However it does cost $160; a fairly large investment for a student, and so my doubts are justified.
P.S: 'md-4-me' if you are reading this post may I ask that you direct me to sample pages of 'gamsat the gold standard' to clear the doubts I have. Thank you

You are correct, I've always been comfortable underlining that I am not an objective observer.
The best way to see the book for yourself is if you attend one of the following uni's then you can just call the bookstore to be sure that it is in stock then you can leaf through it to see if the 'rumours' are true or false: Australia - USYD, MU, UWA, UNSW, UQ, UTS, ANU, AU, Flinders, UNISA; Ireland - UCC, UCD; UK uni's: Liverpool U, Southampton U, Leeds U; Waterstone's in London
There are some reviews here:
I'll also ask for some sample pages to go online but I suppose that it could take a week or so.

I know there are other threads about this, but I wanted to make a new one to impress how critical this issue is. The fact that you cannot select imposition templates that have been created in right click impose in the properties is causing us massive issues.
It's crazy that this issue hasn't been fixed yet. We have just upgraded from a Xerox 560 with a Creo server, to a Xerox J75 with the Fiery. The J75 was a huge step up, the Fiery seems to be a huge step back. On the Creo we could set up one click templates that our staff could choose and everything would print perfectly. With the Fiery we seem to be having a daily battle to get things to work properly. But the worst problem of all is the fact that Impose templates are not available through properties. I am absolutely baffled as to why this would be.
The fact is that not all the files supplied to us are perfectly made, but we have to print them. The Creo managed this no problem, but the Fiery makes us jump through hoops. It is already annoying that I have to go over to the server in order to impose jobs manually for unusual jobs (rather than doing it at my computer), without the extra frustration of having to do the same for every standard business card or leaflet job.
As the system is set up at the moment, Hot Folders, Presets and Workflows are completely useless to commercial printers like ourselves. They simply cannot be used as 95% of jobs we print are full bleed, so we HAVE TO use the User Defined page size.
I cannot tell you how urgent it is that this is fixed. Now that Xerox has stopped supporting Creo we don't have a choice. Being able to set up simple templates or workflows for very regular, standard print jobs should be the first thing you make work, not shunting it down the pile in favour of functionality that hardly anyone uses.
Incidentally, there are many other problems with the Fiery (regular transparency problems, grey boxes around bitmaps when printing greyscale, imposed sheets randomly moving off centre, lack of quick previews or thumbnails) but this is comfortably the most urgent.

Convertible and four-door
We don't know if the 4-door sedan is also a Super Diamond. I still think that may be the new Stafford.--Loadingue 11:22, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
Or maybe the convertible name, is possibly, Drop Diamond and the 4door is Super Diamond but this is only my guess...--Blaff 60 19:40, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
It'd be really dumb if they shared the same name since they don't even have similar chassis.--Thescarydude 19:53, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
Maybe....--Blaff 60 19:57, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
But maybe the Drop Diamond was changed to two door to 4door.--Blaff 60 19:58, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
Maybe I was wrong, the angles of the pictures screwed me up, maybe they have similar chassis.--Thescarydude 21:32, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
Does anybody know where to find this car? --Master-newport 10:59, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
We all know that the Super Diamond bears no badges but i have heard that it is made by Enus during a police chase. I could be wrong, as it was hard to hear with the sirens going off and such. Any thoughts? --Hehe5 03:34, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
uhmm... there is only a Super Drop Diamond with softtop not hardtop so. can you find it easier with softtop too?

Our favorite freakishly talented manchild is still stroking for the Class A Hagerstown Suns, and still making headlines for other things. Like blowing a kiss to the pitcher after hitting a home run last night.
The partial backstory, if you care: Harper was struck out on a borderline pitch in his first at-bat, then lined a single off the foot of pitcher Zach Neal. This was the third at-bat. Seems a natural outcome.

What's the funniest thing your child has ever done or said?
I have three kids, all of whom are still pretty young, so there's a lot of unintentional humor; although my five year old son, is a bit of a comedian. Whether it's on purpose or not, my kids tend to keep me laughing on a daily basis like the time my daughter laid on my back while I was on the couch and told me my "butt was like a Pillow Pet;" or the time she called my breasts "hangers." When my kids aren't slinging "compliments," I'm laughing at the suggestions they have for helping me out like the time my seven year old suggested that I buy place settings made of waffle cones (after eating a waffle bowl at an ice cream party), so that I wouldn't have to do as many dishes. Or then there was the time that the five year old tried to cover up some gum in the dog's fur (no one knows how that got there), by putting a shirt on him.
Maybe not everyone would laugh in these situations, but I think these kids are hilarious.

The disparaging and belittling of mothers: on mother shaming in sexualisation debate
'How dare the elite media and privileged individuals who think themselves superior to the average mother, deride mothers and imply they're not eligible for a view on how society should be improved?'
Caroline Norma
The articles last week in New Matilda (Trixie Wellington), Crikey (Helen Razer) and ABC Unleashed (Lauren Rosewarne) were so nasty and hurtful to mothers who are legitimately doing their best to make sure their daughters don't come to any harm from men.
What about mothers who are survivors who might feel like they worry too much about child sexualisation stuff? (which I don't think is possible). It's just feeding into their self-doubt, and disempowering them from taking proper action to try and protect their kids better than they were protected.
I think there's an implicit message in Wellington's article that mothers are looking at their daughters sexually, which she should be called out on. This is an outrageous claim – Australian courts are currently chock full of, not women, but men who have decided to extend their violent pornography consumption to children. The statistics are huge and getting worse by the year.
Of course we would all love men to come to their senses and begin to lead decent lives like women have managed to for hundreds of years, but at this point in history there's no indication they're collectively deciding to do that. So, in the meantime, we have to let mothers feel as empowered as possible to protect their kids, without feeling like they're weird or being told, (with no evidence) their agenda is puritanical: to 'shame' girls and put them in burqas?
How dare the elite media and privileged individuals who think themselves superior to the average mother, deride mothers and imply they're not eligible for a view on how society should be improved? It smacks of classism. Why are mothers not eligible to speak on behalf of other women? Why can't they lead the women's movement (however that's defined)?
Why can't we have a women's movement that's influenced by our concern for children? Do we have to hide the fact we're mothers if we want to speak out? And what's with 'feminists' siding with corporations over an individual mother? How could that happen?
More than ever, we need to stand together across the class divide to protect children against trends like sexualisation. Disparaging and belittling mothers, who are most qualified to speak on behalf of children, is just a good way to let the corporations win.
The pornification of culture occurs because not enough of us have children's rights foremost in our minds. On a daily basis mothers are going about their lives with children's wellbeing and welfare as their top priority, so we could learn from their example.

Serena Williams reclaimed the top female world tennis ranking Tuesday afternoon after serving up Ekaterina Makarova in the China Open in Beijing.
Williams beat the Russian 6-3 6-2 to take the lead over Dinara Safina.
Safina, the previous lead contest holder, fell out from the number one slot after her stunning loss against Zhang Shuai in round two.
U.S. & World
Jelena Jankovic was another defending champion to lose in the first round, dropping to Peng Shuai. Other top competitors slowly retired from the ladder early in the competition.
American Williams dominated within the first hour placing three aces and one double-fault over Makarova setting up her rise to world number one.

Bill Daley and 'Too Big To Fail'
MIT Professor Simon Johnson recently argued that Bill Daley's appointment as Obama's Chief of Staff signals that "too big to fail," as it relates to our largest financial institutions, is here to stay. Personally I never thought it was in doubt. With Geithner at Treasury and Dodd‐Frank further codifiying "too big to fail," its been clear for some time that the bailout net is larger than it's ever been, and is not being pulled back.
That said, Professor Johnson's focus on Daley distracts from the real issue, which is changing our bank regulatory structure to end bailouts. The focus on Daley has the potential to lead us down that path of "if we just had the right people in government…" We shouldn't be designing our regulatory structures with the "right" people in mind, but rather with the rule of law in mind. In fact, one of the benefits of the Obama administration is that it serves as a great test of the "right people" hypothesis of government. One is unlikely to see a more left‐leaning White House than this one, so if this one gets captured by special interests, including Wall Street, than it's a safe bet that any future administration will as well.
Since I believe most of us actually want to end "too big to fail," the real question is how to do it. It strikes me that we have three options: regulate the largest institutions to death (or competitive disadvantage), break them up, or credibly impose losses on their creditors. Ultimately I think the regulation approach is bound to fail, if for no other reason than regulatory capture. (Even Elizabeth Warren seems to get this: "Regulations, over time, fail. I want to see Congress focus more on a credible system for liquidating the banks that are considered too big to fail.") Breaking them up might sound attractive in theory, but I have a hard time seeing how it truly works in practice. After all, few in Washington viewed Bear Stearns as "too big to fail." Accordingly, I believe the best approach would be to force creditors to take losses or be converted into equity. To make this credible, we must bind the hands of the regulators. As long as the Fed, Treasury, or the FDIC can inject money, then bailouts are always on the table.
Sadly, what the Daley appointment reminds us is that any attempt to end "too big to fail" will likely have to wait until the next administration. Not only is this one wed to bailouts, the President would likely veto any bill that really tied the hands of the Fed.

Niyc Pidgeon Series: Three Success Elements
I'm Niyc, Positive Psychologist MSc, and Global Success Coach, and every week for the next 6-weeks I'm going to be sharing an article with you all about mindset, and what you can do to strengthen yours.
My goal is to help you in a really easy to understand way, to help you with practical tools and thought provoking questions and teachings to help you shift your mindset and thrive within yourself and your business.
At the end of the 6-weeks I'll be running a webinar for you too – completely free of charge, to bring all of this knowledge together, to introduce myself properly, and answer your burning mindset questions.
So, let's get started!
I always like to start at the start, and this week I'm sharing with you:
3 Things You Must Do First to Prime You for Success in Your Forever Business
You've probably been told a million times to "work on your mindset" and "do your contacting"…
But why are these things so fundamental to your success?
Because, they are the foundations upon which you can build your thriving life and business.
Take a look at the Diamond of Success in the image below, and notice that success is created through a combination of three things;
- Skills
- Attitude
- Knowledge
We know that diamonds are strong, symbolic of your success, and each of these three elements is supportive of the other in helping you create that.
Without one of the elements though, the stability, which represents your foundations of success, is lost.
Let's take a look at each of the elements in turn:
This is the Forever business model that has been shared with you and had been proven over time. You need to understand the business and the products in order to be able to share them powerfully with your friends and network. Knowledge might include learning from the printed and online materials that are provided to you as a business owner, learning from up line and other leaders, and also through learning from other people's case studies and how they have experienced great results through using a product.
These are the network marketing skills that are going to help you be a more productive and effective business owner. Setting goals, managing your time, and building positive relationships are all skills that you are able to develop through dedicating a little more intention, willingness, and practice, and remembering that these are "must do's", instead of "nice to have's".
Your attitude determines whether you respond positively or negatively to a situation or experience, and can be made up of your self belief, your level of optimism, and your commitment – both to yourself, your business, and your future vision. In other words, your mindset! Choosing to adopt a positive mindset is something that is going to be key in allowing both you and your business to grow – optimists are happier, healthier, more successful, AND are 31% more productive.
The good news is, all of these elements are able to be mastered!
Take a look at the Diamond of Success again now, and consider where you might be out of balance.
Have you been working on your mindset, without mastering the art and skills of network marketing? Or might it be that your self belief needs a little bit more of a nudge (or a kick) in the right direction?
One thing is for sure, now you understand the importance of combining all three elements, you can remember to take care of your understanding of your Forever Business, to practice the skills associated with becoming an awesome network marketing professional, and to strengthen your mindset daily, in order to facilitate your success.
They say that "knowledge is power" – but when you combine knowledge, with skills, and attitude…
That's real power.
Have an awesome rest of your week, superstar.

After a breakout performance in Sean Durkin's 2011 drama film, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Elizabeth Olsen (younger sister to the infamous Olsen twins) is set to try her hand at the horror genre in Silent House. Olsen's performance in Martha Marcy May Marlene earned her several "Best Actress" nominations – leading many film fans to question whether Silent House would impede Olsen's rising star, or prove that even in a horror-thriller project the young actress can deliver a compelling performance.
Of course, Silent House isn't just a basic slasher-horror film where brainless co-eds run up a flight of stars instead of out the front door. Directed by cinematography team Chris Kentis and Laura Lau, who cut their teeth on the 2003 survival-horror film, Open Water (about a pair of scuba divers who are inadvertently left alone miles from shore in shark-infested waters), Silent House offers 88 minutes of "based on true events" story presented as a single, uninterrupted take.
Does the pairing of Olsen with the "high-concept" premise make for a gripping and unique theater experience?
Ultimately, the performances in Silent House - as well as the unique filmmaking presentation – elevate the movie above normal horror-thriller cliches; however, the film definitely has a few shortcomings that, despite the larger successes, undermine the overall effectiveness of the experience.
Taking cues from the 2010 Uruguayan film, The Silent House, Kentis and Lau's Silent House story is pretty basic – which makes sense for a movie with only a few characters and an especially limited scale. We follow leading-lady Sarah (Olsen) through a tense, and at times horrifying, ordeal: Sarah, along with her father, John (Adam Trese), and Uncle, Peter (Eric Sheffer Stevens), is in the process of fixing up the family's dilapidated vacation home, in an effort to make the property more attractive when they attempt to sell it. Sarah begins to hear mysterious noises in the upstairs portion of the house, and when she and her dad attempt to investigate the sounds, it quickly becomes clear that they are not alone – nor are they safe. Whether or not the alleged "true event" inspiration of the film ever actually occurred remains unsubstantiated (and was a point of contention among fans of the 2010 Uruguayan film); however, "based on true events" or not, the fundamental storyline works well enough within the confines of the 88 minute timeframe.
Despite that simple set up, Silent House is a meticulously crafted film. Not only is the house isolated, every window is boarded up (to prevent local kids from breaking the glass) and all the doors are dead-bolted (to keep out squatters) – creating an atmosphere of dark isolation that works to the film's advantage again and again. Sarah (as well as John and Peter) rely on handheld propane as well as LED lamps – which, coupled with the "uninterrupted take" presentation, will definitely keep audience members squinting into the darkness, along with the film's main characters.
Silent House features a number of lengthy takes and, unsurprisingly, Olsen is up to the task – delivering a successful and engrossing performance. Admittedly, the role isn't going to earn her too many accolades, but considering most of her onscreen time is spent reacting to sounds in the dark, her performance definitely brings added layers (and believability) to a role that might have otherwise been portrayed by a less convincing actress.
The "real time" presentation brings events to life in a compelling way, but at the same time, undermines any opportunity for audiences to gain insight into Sarah – beyond basic demeanor and rapport with Peter and John. Even as the darker mystery of the house unfolds, there's very little chance for audiences to "get to know" any of the main characters – which is somewhat of a missed opportunity, especially given Olsen's onscreen presence. Some moviegoers will no doubt defend the barebones portrayal of the characters, arguing that they are merely vehicles for the audience to become immersed in the creepy situation; however, given that they have a history with the "Silent House," the choice ultimately detracts from the effectiveness of the film's finale.
Regardless, the "hook" of 88 minutes of "uninterrupted" footage will definitely provide moviegoers with a unique theater experience, as the format ratchets up the tension in certain scenes and successfully captures the sense of claustrophobia that Sarah is experiencing throughout. With "found-footage" movies starting to wear thin (just look at Apollo 18 and The Devil Inside for proof), it's hard to ignore the possibility that "real time" horror films could be the next go-to move for Hollywood executives. The prospects are certainly intriguing (until the concept is used up) - at least based on how the idea is employed in Silent House. While a few of the "transition" moments aren't as fluid as others, the overall effect is pretty compelling.
That said, some moviegoers may be somewhat underwhelmed by Sarah's over-arching "ordeal" – as Silent House is much more grounded than other horror-thrillers. There are a number of jump scares and truly creepy moments, but in this case, the real horror is in the uncertainty of each and every moment – which, for some viewers, might result in the opinions that there's not a lot actually happening. Fright fans looking for on-the-nose Paranormal Activity-like visual set-pieces could walk away underwhelmed, as the film's climatic "reveals" will, for some viewers, be somewhat of an unearned cop out (or, worse yet, overly obvious). However, that doesn't mean that the film fails to present plenty of tense, albeit grounded, moments.
Moviegoers looking for a unique horror-thriller experience, who find the "real time" premise intriguing, are likely to enjoy Silent House in spite of its flaws – since the film manages to succeed in a number of its lofty ambitions. Unfortunately, the fundamental structure of the movie prevents the experience from doing anything more than immersing an audience in the moment to moment situation – leaving the characters and over-arching storyline struggling to gain traction or lay a workable foundation for the film's finale.

I have not been able to find a clear indication of the impact table indexes have on the algorithmic order of table operations.
I am not interested in the nuts & bolts of specific implementations; I assume RDMS designers know what they are doing and they have made these as efficient as possible.
I am going to limit my discussion to a single index, I think that additional indexes simply add an additional dimension (i.e. the fundamental process has to be performed more than once).
The following assumes a single record in each case - the benefits of indexes are greatly enhanced for multiple record operations because (generally) the seek operations need to be done less times than the number of records being sought as they can be retrieved in a range.
For an unindexed table I believe the operations are:
Step INSERT SELECT DELETE UPDATE
Find the record N/A O(n) O(n) O(n)
Modify the record O(1) N/A O(1) O(1)
OVERALL O(1) O(n) O(n) O(n)
This assumes that finding the record requires a table scan but a new record is simply slammed onto the end.
To set up an index is an O(nlog(n)) operation based on an efficient sorting algorithm.
For an indexed table I believe the operations are:
Step INSERT SELECT DELETE UPDATE
Find the record N/A O(log(n)) O(log(n)) O(log(n))
Modify the record O(1) N/A O(1) O(1)

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard field hockey team snapped a five-game losing streak Monday night as they raced past Bryant, 4-1, behind two goals and an assist from Noel Painter. The Crimson ran its all-time record to 4-0 over Bryant with its best offensive performance of the season.
Bryant drew first blood early in the contest. The Bulldogs' Michelle Fallon dribbled into the circle and slapped a shot past Cynthia Tassopoulos into the left side of the cage. From there forward, Harvard dominated the action.
The Crimson scored the next three goals of the half to take a commanding 3-1 lead. Caitlin Rea got the scoring started for Harvard. The sophomore handled a ball inserted from Painter off a penalty corner and fired into the bottom of the cage.
Harvard made it 2-1 just three minutes later with a Painter tally. Emma Keller dished to the sophomore, who smacked the ball on target for what proved to be the game-winner.
Rachael Rosenfeld added Harvard's third goal of the night with a highlight-reel goal with three minutes remaining in the half. Kaitlyn Boudah inserted the ball into the circle and Rosenfeld deflected the pass into the cage with a no-look attempt. The junior's back was to the goal when she received the pass, but she had enough field presence to put the ball on target and past Bryant's Megan Hancock.
The Crimson controlled play for much of the first 35 minutes, as it had 12 shots compared to Bryant's six. Harvard also had seven chances off penalty corners, while the Bulldogs only had one.
After the break, the Crimson kept charging and added its fourth score ten minutes into the frame. Painter redirected a Jacobson pass for her third goal of the season.
Cynthia Tassopoulos made eight saves in the game to anchor Harvard's defense. The Crimson outshot the Bulldogs, 19-12, and gained more penalty corners, 9-8.
Harvard returns to action this weekend with a trip to Brown to take on the Bears Saturday at noon.
