Student voice in university governance has a range of benefits for students, the university and society. By participating in student voice, students are able to develop skills and enhance academic performance. Students' involvement in university governance encourages accountability and transparency in policy and decisions. It also ensures universities consider a range of perspectives in their decision-making processes. Additionally, student civic responsibility and citizenship can be promoted through student voice. Students are often requested to participate in student voice in university governance through evaluation surveys. However, in order to actively engage students in voice, build sense of community, and support problem solving and collaboration, student representatives on departmental committees is suggested to be an incredibly effective form of student voice. Lizzio and Wilson (2009) (Source) explore the factors which hinder and help the effectiveness of student representatives on departmental committees.
It has been suggested that in order to assess the sustained success of student voice practices, one must consider not only the immediate outcomes of the practice but also the attitudes and experiences of those involved. To understand the full student experience of representing the student body in university governance and identify methods for enhancing the effectiveness of student representatives, Lizzio and Wilson addressed the following questions:
It was found that there are a wide range of motivations for undertaking a student representative role, and often students report having a number of reasons for participating. These motivations range from the desire to develop new skills, to advocacy, to compliance. Understanding these motivations will allow universities to enhance recruitment processes and support students in their role. Additionally, motivations provide insight into how a student will approach their role and what their priorities may be.
Students describe their role as having two main functions:
Both of these functions involve successful communication with all parties and providing feedback to students. Student representatives highlight that effectiveness in the role is influenced by their personal attributes such as objectivity, honesty, and approachability. They are required to build positive relationships with both the student body they are representing and the staff that they are expected to collaborate with. The relationship between student representatives and staff is closely linked to staff attitudes towards their role. While some staff members view students as equal partners and valuable contributors, some may view student contributions as unimportant and immature. In order to enhance the effectiveness of student representation, it is essential that a culture is created where students are empowered and considered a valuable member of a collaborative relationship.
Students report several challenges they experience throughout their role. The most commonly cited difficulty is role ambiguity, where students are uncertain of their job description and their authority in the role. This limits students' performance as student representatives but may be overcome by providing written job descriptions and formal handover meetings. Another challenge that students face in this role is conflict between staff and student body expectations. They are required to both advocate for students whilst maintaining a working relationship with staff. Additionally, student representatives may not agree with the opinion of the student body. It is essential that the representative process is transparent, and representatives are provided with training in areas such as conflict resolution and ethics.
Student representatives aim to increase the quality and fairness of learning and teaching processes. By bringing attention to major student issues, student representatives increase accountability of universities to respond to feedback in a timely manner. They may also facilitate early intervention and perhaps prevent issues by reporting dissatisfaction at the outset. In order to strengthen student voice processes, a shared language between student representative and staff must be established to facilitate constructive discussions.
Student representatives report substantiable levels of personal development through their undertaking of their role. They increase confidence, develop skills, and make contacts with their fellow students and staff. There is a strong correlation between personal development through their role and satisfaction. Therefore, by supporting the personal development of student representatives, their engagement, and as such their performance, in the role will be enhanced.
In summary, in order to enhance the effectiveness of student representation in university governance, several support systems must be implemented. Students should be provided with a clear description of role responsibilities and expectations. Additionally, universities should provide student representatives with sufficient training in the wide range of skills required to effectively carry out their role. Finally, the performance of student representatives is strongly dependant on their relationship with other students and staff. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the department to legitimise and empower students in their role, and facilitate trusting collaborative relationships between student representatives and staff.

ArtTalk – (re)Framing the Bucks County Art Canon
Art museums are often academic institutions, presenting art from a Euro-American canonical perspective. But we know that art is personal. What you see in a piece of art is influenced by what you've already seen, what you've experienced.
Art institutions that have traditionally displayed art and authoritative analysis for our edification are now asking curators from different backgrounds to design exhibits. And they're asking visitors what they think about the works on display. Rather than a lesson in art history, it's a conversation.
Our own Michener Art Museum has recently mounted such a show called (re)Frame: Community Perspectives on the Michener's Art Collection. Curators with multiple social and environmental viewpoints have selected familiar works and shared their personal interpretations.
But what does this mean for the role of the museum as educator? And how will it affect our experience as art lovers?
Join our conversation about the exhibit with Dr. Laura Igoe, Chief Curator, and Joshua Lessard, Director of Exhibitions, as well as hear from some of the guest curators.
Laura Turner Igoe PhD, is the Chief Curator at the Michener Art Museum. She specializes in American art and material culture of the long 19th century. Before the Michener Museum, she held curatorial positions at the Harvard Art Museums, Princeton University Art Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Science History Institute in Philadelphia. Dr. Igoe is the coeditor of A Greene Country Towne: Philadelphia's Ecology in the Cultural Imagination and has contributed essays to the journals American Art, Panorama, Common-place, and the exhibition catalogue Nature's Nation: American Art and Environment.
Michener's Director of Exhibitions, Joshua Lessard, is an award-winning designer and registered architect. Before joining the Michener, Lessard worked as Exhibition Architect and Designer at the Penn Museum in Philadelphia. With over a decade of experience managing projects of various scales, he currently sits on Michener's Executive Team and serves as a Consulting Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.
Hosted By:
Laura Womack
Laura hosted her own syndicated show in Virginia before joining WAMU in Washington, D.C., where she also contributed to NPR. Laura became involved in the arts while living in Singapore, where she worked as a docent and developed an interest in textiles. Today, Laura is a weaver and president of the Phillips' Mill Community Association.

Physiotherapy is an important health care profession that aims to maintain and improve the quality of life for people of all ages through exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. It is a science-based profession that uses a 'whole person' approach, taking into account the individual's lifestyle. Several health problems can be addressed by physiotherapy, including pain, balance and mobility issues. It is also a good way to wean patients off certain medications, especially those they depend on for pain relief.
Reduction in pain and increased mobility: One of the most significant benefits of physiotherapy is that it can reduce or even eliminate the need for pain medication by addressing the root cause of pain, which in turn relieves the body of inflammation. Therapeutic exercises and treatments like taping, ultrasound, and electric stimulation help the muscles and joints function properly.
Strengthening and increasing flexibility: Chatswood physiotherapist can increase muscle strength, improve blood circulation, and restore normal range of motion for people of all ages, regardless of fitness level or activity levels. It can also prevent future injury by improving muscle balance and restoring joint movement.
Improved respiratory capacity and cardiovascular functioning: This is a key benefit of physiotherapy because it helps patients who have suffered a stroke recover their breathing and circulatory functions. Physiotherapists can perform breathing exercises and special stretches to strengthen the lung muscles and restore normal oxygen supply to the brain.
Management of Age-Related Problems: Many age-related conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis, can be treated with physiotherapy. Depending on the specific diagnosis, physiotherapists can design a personalized rehabilitation plan to reduce pain and increase physical function. Visit this website at https://edition.cnn.com/2018/06/20/health/mental-health-rural-areas-issues-trnd/index.html for more info about physical therapy.
Controlling or preventing falls: As we age, our bones lose their density and muscle strength, resulting in a higher risk of falling. Physiotherapists can perform balance tests to assess your level of fall risk, and work with you on exercises that simulate real-life situations.
Enhancing mobility and muscle flexibility: Chatswood Physiotherapist use techniques such as soft tissue release or joint mobilization to restore normal range of motion in the muscles and joints, which can improve physical performance. They can also help individuals with musculoskeletal issues that prevent them from moving freely, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis. The ability to move freely is critical for healthy aging and can significantly improve the quality of life of older people. Physiotherapy can provide this through exercises and manual therapy that are tailored to each patient's needs.
Preventing future injuries: Physiotherapists can help with a variety of common aches and pains such as headaches, backaches, shoulder, neck, and knee pain. They can also improve joint mobility with massage, manipulation and exercise. Injuries such as tennis elbow, hamstring strain, and golfers elbow can be healed with proper physiotherapy.
It can also be used to treat chronic problems such as fibromyalgia and other chronic pain disorders.
Improved breathing and cardiopulmonary function: Physiotherapy can also help with a number of other respiratory problems, such as asthma and heart disease. They can teach patients to perform breathing exercises that are specific to their condition, and they can also prescribe medication that may aid breathing.

Dertouzos Distinguished Lecture: Connectivity, Dr. Robert M. Metcalfe
Wednesday, February 23, 2022 at 4:00pm to 5:00pm
Virtual EventAbstract:
The Internet is 52+ years old. It has by now suddenly reached two thirds of the human race. It has moved us considerably toward our goals of freedom and prosperity. And when COVID hit, the Internet was ready. Zoom! And yet we are overwhelmed by all the connectivity the Internet is delivering. For example, fake news. It's time to treat CONNECTIVITY as a thing, with its own science, engineering, dimensions, disruptions, and … pathologies. I will try this by telling you stories from the evolution of the Internet, invention of Ethernet, founding of 3Com Corporation, and Metcalfe's Law (V~N^2).
Dr. Robert M. Metcalfe has for the last 11 years been Professor of Innovation in the Cockrell School of Engineering and Professor of Entrepreneurship in the McCombs School of Business, at The University of Texas at Austin. Last month he retired from UTAustin to start his sixth career, TBD.
Metcalfe was an Internet pioneer beginning 1970 at MIT, Harvard, Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, Stanford, and 3Com. He invented Ethernet at Xerox Parc on May 22, 1973. Today Ethernet is the Internet's standard plumbing. It now adds, especially if we count Wireless Ethernet (Wi-Fi), billions of standard Internet ports per year. Metcalfe has won the Bell, Hopper, Japan C&C, Marconi, McCluskey, Shannon and Stibitz Prizes. He is a Life Trustee Emeritus of MIT and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. Metcalfe received the IEEE Medal of Honor in 1996 and the National Medal of Technology in 2005, both for his leadership in the invention, standardization and commercialization of Ethernet.

Beijing, Aug 22: Indian boxer Vijender Kumar settled for a bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics after being out-punched by Cuban Emilio Correa Bayeaux in the semi-finals of the 75 kg category in Beijing on Friday.
The 22-year-old was simply out-thought by his Cuban rival who negated the height and reach advantage of Vijender by fighting from a long range to score an 8-5 win.
But even in defeat, Vijender has made history, becoming the only Indian boxer to clinch an Olympic medal.
Vijender, who also won bronze at the Doha Asian Games, struggled to connect his punches and was trailing from the very start.
In fact he failed to score a single point in the opening round, which ended 2-0 in the Cuban's favour.
Forced to play the catch-up game, Vijender managed a slight recovery in the second round as he reduced the deficit to just one point ending the second round 3-4 behind.
Bayeaux stuck to his strategy of back-paddling after landing punches, most of which were straight and more importantly precise.
The Cuban's lightening fast reflexes thwarted Vijender's attacks and the Indian once again failed to score in the third round.
The decider saw a desperate Vijender on the offensive but the Cuban survived the brief assault, although earning a two-point penalty for committing a foul, leaving the scoreline 8-5.

Congratulations to all the three medal winners. Why only three? We should change our education system. I feel the integration of Sports and Physical Education with the Educational Curriculum should be made compulsory subject of learning up to the Secondary School level and incorporating the same in the evaluation system of the student. A National Fitness Programme would be introduced in all Schools in the country, steps initiated to augment the availability of infrastructure, including play fields/ sports equipment and action taken to provide Physical Education Teachers in educational institutions through the training of ed teachers in these disciplines. Specialized Sports Schools may also be set up. An appropriate Inter-school and Inter- College/University competition structure would be introduced at the National, State and District levels.

Is There Such Thing As Being Charged With Driving Too Slowly?
Driving Too Fast Is Well Known As Unlawful. Driving Too Slowly Is Also Unlawful As Doing So May Unnecessarily Impede Traffic Flow and Cause Dangerous Hazards.
Understanding the Charge of Driving Too Slowly Including the Applicable Penalties
It may be quite surprising; however, it is true that driving too slowly may be unlawful. Additionally, driving too slowly can present as a dangerous safety hazard and indeed there are examples of where an unexpected and unusually slow vehicle caused a tragic accident. Driving too slowly can be similarly as dangerous as driving at excessive speed. Of course, safe and cautious driving is always strongly encouraged; however, unnecessarily slow driving, and becoming an obstacle to other traffic, or possibly frustrating other drivers so severely as to trigger erratic conduct, can pose significant danger.
The Law
Driving too slowly may be an offence contrary to the Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8 which states:
132 (1) No motor vehicle shall be driven on a highway at such a slow rate of speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic thereon except when the slow rate of speed is necessary for safe operation having regard to all the circumstances.
In an Interesting civil law case, section 132 of the Highway Traffic Act was referenced as, among other things, an unlawful means element within Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association v. Boak, 2022 ONSC 1001, alleging tortious inference in economic relations relating to rolling roadblocks or blockades upon the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan.
Summary Comment
Similar to driving too fast, driving too slowly can also pose risks to others using the roadway whereas when traffic moving at a normal speed comes upon a vehicle travelling unexpectedly slow and dangerous situation exists. While a charge of driving too slowly is likely uncommon, the law provides for the possibility of such a charge.

Amazon TRMS Test & Interview: Ultimate Preparation Guide for 2024
Amazon offers many competitive and well-paying positions, which makes this company one of the most well-sought-after employers. Consequently, applicants expect to put in preparation ahead of time to ensure they are ready to jump through the sometimes-onerous hoops standing between them and a job offer as a TRMS Officer at Amazon.
Table of Contents
What Is TRMS Amazon?
First, let's talk about what TRMS is. TRMS stands for Transaction Risk Management Systems. This division of Amazon prevents fraud and continues bonds of trust between Amazon customers and the company.
Representatives spend time determining whether particular transactions or users are fraudulent, or whether particular accounts have been fraudulently compromised.
How to Prepare for a Role at TRMS Amazon?
Job Test Prep offers specific assistance to help candidates pass both the interview and the test given to applicants at TRMS Amazon. Please don't be intimidated by these steps! There are plenty of ways you can succeed in both of these areas if you are willing to put in the preparation ahead of time.
Let's get started learning about this process.
Is the Amazon TRMS Test Hard?
While some will have an easier time taking this test than others, it does have a reputation of being a difficult exam overall. Part of the reason for this is that the test asks applicants to demonstrate their critical thinking skills.
These skills are relevant in managerial positions or positions without extensive oversight because applicants will need to be trusted to think through important issues themselves. Needless to say, employees in the TRMS office at Amazon will be in this employment situation.
Developing independent judgment over time can help test takers prepare for this exam, but ultimately the difficulty level for each test taker will depend on how familiar applicants are with the types of questions that are asked.
What are the logical connections between different statements? What are assumptions? How are they made appropriately? What about coming to conclusions in appropriate and logical ways?
The Amazon TRMS Test: What Is the Watson Glaser Test?
Applicants for roles within TRMS Amazon will be expected to take the Watson Glaser Test. This psychometric test evaluates your ability to draw conclusions from large amounts of information.
You will be assessed based on your understanding of strong and weak arguments, making correct inferences, judgments, and assessments. These skills are invaluable when evaluating cases of potential fraud, which is why this test is used for TRMS applicants.
The Amazon TRMS test is the Watson Glaser test, which is offered in different contexts as well as for applicants to this particular office at Amazon.
How Long Is the Amazon TRMS/Watson Glaser Test?
Test takers will be asked to answer 40 questions in 30 minutes.
How to Prepare for the Amazon TRMS/Watson Glaser Test?
Candidates should spend time practicing for this test using sample test materials like those offered at reputable testing sites such as Job Test Prep. Be sure to use an accurate test site that correctly simulates the types of questions you will actually find on the Watson Glaser.
Don't just use Google to search for test-taking sites—choose a testing site that can actually help you prepare for the test and utilizes the same timed testing environment online. There are all sorts of test sites out there, but not all of them are legitimate. Additionally, be sure to take the Amazon TRMS test and not the basic Amazon Assessment test.
Your comfort level with the types of questions asked on the TRMS test will grow as you put in time answering questions and reading about why the answer you provided seems to be correct or incorrect.
It is important not to be hard on yourself when you miss an answer in your practice. The only way to properly learn from your mistakes is to be open to recognizing where your weaknesses are.
This type of open-minded test-taking mentality leads to confidence and certainty that once you are ready for the exam, your performance will not be a surprise and you will feel positive about the actual test-taking experience.
What Content Is Tested for on The Amazon TRMS Test/Watson Glaser?
You will encounter five sections on the Watson Glaser exam: deduction interpretation, inference assessment, recognizing assumptions, and evaluation of arguments.
Let's go over each of these sections to give you an idea of what will be covered.
– Deduction
In this section, you'll be asked to read a section of text and evaluate whether a given follow-up sentence follows from the text or not.
Test takers should begin to recognize whether a set of premises listed in the text lead to the concluded final sentence. They will be asked if the final sentence does or does not follow from the premises. Please note that the premises may not be sentences that you believe are true, but for the purposes of this exam, you should assume that they are.
– Inference Assessment
Inferences are conclusions you might draw from a set of facts. To answer questions in this section, you'll see a set of facts and an inference derived from these facts, and you'll be asked to assess whether the inference is True, Probably True, Insufficient Data, Probably False, and False.
– Interpretation
This section is about reasonable doubt. That is, does one statement follow without a reasonable doubt from another series of statements, or does it probably follow?
Your answer will be in the form of "conclusion does follow" or "conclusion does not follow."
– Recognizing Assumptions
The reader will encounter a paragraph followed by a proposed assumption. Then, the test taker will be asked if the proposed assumption has been made or if it has not been made. That is, does the author take the assumption for granted or not?
Keep in mind that the assumption may not accord with reality. You are simply evaluating whether the assumption has been made.
– Evaluation of Arguments
This section is about determining whether an argument is a strong or a weak one. Weak arguments are unrelated to the question or only tangentially related to the question. Weak arguments may also be unimportant to the question.
Strong arguments are related to the question and also important.
Which Sections Should I Study?
Each of these sections represents an important part of the test, and each should be studied. However, as you practice, you may find that you are less challenged by one section and more challenged by others.
In this case, focus your efforts on the areas that you find difficult in order to build confidence and increase your understanding. Job Test Prep offers sample tests for all sections to help you grow and learn prior to the real exam.
If you have a limited amount of time to study, try to improve your sample test scores in the areas where you struggle.
Tips to Succeed at the Amazon TRMS Test/Watson Glaser
– Think Rationally
For each question, you may sometimes bring in prior knowledge, and in other questions you may not. In many cases, you are being evaluated on your ability to rationally understand and interpret the material as it is presented to you, rather than your general knowledge about the world.
Test takers should get used to being dispassionate and looking at each question with fresh eyes. In other cases, you may bring your common sense understanding into your answers. You'll need to read the instructions to know which areas require which type of answer.
– Read the Instructions
Don't skip the instructions. You'll need to know precisely what each section of the test is asking you to do. Read each sentence carefully and don't skim over any section. Practice will help you increase your speed while retaining your reading comprehension.
Read each question carefully! Your answers will depend on small variations in the text, so it's important to work on reading comprehension as you approach each question.
There are important phrases in each question that should stand out to test takers. Keep an eye out for these phrases as you answer the questions, as they may represent the keys to the correct answer. If you wish, you can write down these phrases on a scrap piece of paper.
– Watch the Time
Ask yourself whether you are working within the allotted time. You are not given a lot of time for each question, so speed is an important factor in success. Since you are not penalized for wrong answers on this exam, spend the time guessing when you don't know the exact answer. This can only help and not hurt your overall score.
If you are particularly vexed by one question, skip it and come back at the end. Don't waste all of your time on a few questions.
– Use Logic
Do you remember your formal logic class from college? Now is the time to pull out your old notes and review your understanding. You'll want to focus on differences such as all vs some statements.
– Practice, Practice, Practice
Make sure to practice ahead of time for this exam. Don't leave your studies until the last minute. Spend time increasing your knowledge and growing as a candidate. Grab a practice pack at Job Test Prep and get started.
So, What Is a Good Enough Score on the Amazon TRMS/Watson Glaser?
For this test, scores are compared based on who else will be taking the test and competing for the particular position you are seeking or who are of a similar educational and professional background. Thus, although it is a good idea to score at 80% or better, you really can't know ahead of time how well you need to do in order to "pass" the test.
Your employer is also looking to see specific skills demonstrated in the test. These skills include recognizing assumptions, evaluating arguments, and drawing conclusions.
Take the practice tests offered at Job Test Prep to get an initial sense of where you stand in terms of your critical thinking skills. Then spend time on each section, placing emphasis on areas of weakness. Over time, you will see your score improve and you'll know the time invested in this practice will have paid off.
Now we're going to transition a bit to talk about the Amazon TRMS interview process, which candidates should also prepare for.
Amazon TRMS Interview Process
The Amazon TRMS interview process can feel lengthy and involved. However, if you prepare properly, you will be in a good position to succeed. Remember to research the roles that will be required of you in the TRMS position. You'll also want to show the ways in which your previous work history placed you in roles that make you particularly suited for this position.
Make a list of your current competencies and provide examples from your prior experience that demonstrate these competencies. Your examples should be from previous employment and should relate to the particular competency you wish to show.
How to Ace the Amazon TRMS Interview?
You will encounter a series of questions during your Amazon TRMS Interview. You'll be expected to keep your answers succinct and clear, as well as relevant to the particular question being asked.
A good way to keep track of what you're trying to explain is to follow the STAR method: situation, task, action, result. That is, for each of the examples you use to demonstrate your skills, you will want to provide the situation that happened, the task under consideration, the action that was taken, and the final result. This framework will help you stay on track and provide a succinct response to each of the interview questions.
Additionally, you'll want to customize your answers to reflect the particular challenges you may expect to encounter in the role you're applying for. If you are looking to join the TRMS unit at Amazon, you may be thinking about situations where you encountered fraud at work in the past, or where you had to take in a lot of information and use your professional judgment in a difficult work situation.
Customizing your answer means looking up as much information as you can about the role you're applying for and not only providing answers that make yourself look good, but answering questions in such a way that hiring managers will see hiring you as a way to solve problems that they are already encountering on their team.
Demonstrate to the company that they need what you can offer. This is key to joining their team and making sure they understand what valuable skills you bring to the table.
Interview Tips for the Amazon TRMS Interview
Amazon is a global company and candidates may be hired from many parts of the world. Consequently, it is essential that potential employees speak in clear, easy to understand ways. When engaging in the interview process, present yourself in an upbeat but professional manner and make sure not to rush your answers or slur your words together. Clarity is key!
What skills do you think you will need to show in order to be hired? Write down a list of these skills and go through your resume. Pull out examples of these skills that you have developed over time and be prepared to discuss them with the interviewers.
A TRMS position does require investigative skills, critical thinking abilities, and a personable demeanor. If hired, you may need to speak with Amazon customers to determine whether a purchase was fraudulent or whether an account is being used by a 3rd party for fraudulent activity. Skilled applicants who can demonstrate their abilities in these areas will have a leg up when it comes to the TRMS interview.
Also, keep in mind the personal qualities that Amazon may want to hire on their team. Will they want a candidate who rushes to anger or who doesn't participate in teamwork? It makes sense to look up common interview questions and prepare answers ahead of time.
Even though you can't know exactly what will be asked in the interview, you can get used to framing your existing work history experience in ways that are tailored to what Amazon would be looking for in a TRMS team member. Job Test Prep can help you prepare for the interview process as a successful candidate.
If you're feeling nervous about the Amazon interview process for TRMS team members, take a look at the Job Test Prep prep pack that has common TRMS type interview questions and provides suggestions for how to nail these questions.
I'm Nervous about the Amazon TRMS Interview and Test. What Should I Do?
It's natural to be apprehensive when it comes to important hurdles in our lives. But the best thing to do when confronted with these barriers is to learn as much as we can about the task we're being asked to accomplish.
In the case of the Amazon TRMS interview, this means researching sample questions and learning the best ways to answer these questions using Job Test Prep.
When it comes to the Amazon TRMS Test, this means spending a lot of time answering sample questions from each of the five sections of the Watson Glaser test. Job Test Prep provides extensive sample exams to get you started on this task.
Essentially, feeling nervous before a big challenge shows that you are responsible and serious enough to understand that this process is important. You aren't a person who will simply blow off studying and "wing it" when it comes to the test or the interview. You'll commit to doing what it takes to succeed.
Your nervousness is actually a sign that you're ready to grow and learn how to do well and perhaps even join the Amazon TRMS team!
Preparing for the Amazon TRMS Interview and Test
Hopefully this guide has given you some sense of what can be expected during the Amazon TRMS interview and test process. It is true that some people have been intimidated by this process. After all, the TRMS test has a reputation of being one of the more difficult psychometric exams in the recruitment field.
That being said, candidates can take any anxiety they have about success and pour that energy into research and study. If you are open to learning and spending time on this project, you will see the results pay off with high scores and excellent interviewing skills.
Remember to choose a sample test company that offers a similar experience to those questions and formats used on the actual exam, and be willing to put in the time to really prepare for this important stage in your life. Job Test Prep offers a comprehensive prep pack to candidates who are ready to take their future in their hands.

Updated 7:24 p.m. Duke Energy is getting out of the electricity generating business outside the U.S., through a pair of deals announced Monday worth $2.4 billion total.
The company says it's selling its Brazilian business to China Three Gorges Corporation for $1.2 billion in cash and assumed debt. The Chinese Energy company is buying Duke's eight hydroelectric plants in Brazil, which total 2,090 megawatts of electrical generating capacity. That deal still needs government approvals in Brazil and China, but Duke says it could close in two to four months. Duke also says it will sell the rest of its Latin American operations to global investment manager I Squared Capital, also for $1.2 billion in cash and assumed debt. That deal includes businesses in Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador and Argentina. It's expected to close by mid-2017. Duke announced in February it planned to sell all its businesses in Latin America, which have had unpredictable returns and been a drag on profits. CEO Lynn Good says the deal is a major step in the company's plan to refocus on its U.S. operations. "Our strategic transformation is gathering more momentum as we exit the Latin American market to focus on our domestic regulated core business, which was bolstered by our recent Piedmont Natural Gas acquisition," Good said in a press release. The company completed its acquisition of Piedmont on Oct. 3.
Duke didn't break out the deal's $1.2 billion value by cash and debt. The company said it plans to use proceeds to pay down debt.
The Brazilian plants are about 48 percent of Duke's generating capacity in Latin America, which totals 4,400 megawatts.
Duke announced in February it planned to sell all its businesses in Latin America, which have had unpredictable returns and been a drag on profits.
Monday's deals leave Duke with one international investment, a 25 percent stake in National Methanol Co. The Saudi Arabian company is a regional producer of methanol and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), a gasoline additive. Duke's share price rose slightly Monday.

Long Island's positive Covid-19 cases have been steadily rising once more as vaccination rates slow and the Delta variant of the virus spreads.
The Long Island region, which includes Nassau and Suffolk combined, has the second-highest Covid-19 positivity rate of all regions in the state on a seven-day average at 2.27 percent, according to the latest data from New York State.
"New York is fighting Covid-19 across the state and more shots are going in arms every single day, but we need to kick our vaccination efforts into overdrive if we're going to beat this virus for good," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. "That's why we're reinforcing our efforts on underserved communities with lower vaccination rates as variants spread in our state. For everyone who hasn't yet taken the shot, sites are open across the state and the vaccine is safe, free and effective, so I urge you to take it right away."
Cuomo held a news conference on Monday and announced that about 75 percent of adult New Yorkers have had at least one Covid-19 vaccine dose, and that the state is now focused on getting the remaining 25 percent, or 3.5 million people, vaccinated. He said that this, compounded with the more transmissible Delta variant, is causing more spread of the virus.
On June 26, there were 346 new cases, whereas a month later, on July 26, there were 1,982 new cases in New York, with 72 percent of those cases linked to the Delta variant and .15 percent of New Yorkers who got the vaccine becoming infected.
"What we're looking at is a pandemic of the unvaccinated," Cuomo said. "A pandemic of the population that still refuse to get the vaccine."
The state will target specific zip codes — 117 statewide, to be exact — that have above-average new positive Covid-19 cases per capita and below-average vaccination rates. Eighteen percent of those zip codes are located on Long Island, a total of 21 zip codes, including in Elmont, Baldwin, Amityville, Wyandanch, Sayville, Melville, Yaphank, Center Moriches, and Riverhead.
Cuomo announced $15 million in funding statewide to try boosting vaccination rates in these areas. The money will go toward local organizations that will initiate conversations with people who are still unvaccinated in the community. The following organizations will receive the funding:
- $5.5 million to Hispanic Federation
- $5.5 million Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies
- $1 million to New York Immigration Coalition
- $1 million to Asian American Federation
- $1 million to Charles B. Wang Community Center
- $1 million to APICHA Community Health Center

The holiday season is upon us again – and will be gone all too soon. The beautiful snow that blankets the mountains, the aroma of peppermint and gingerbread, and the general sense of joy this time of year always brings will all be missed. However, one staple of the holiday season that certainly won't be missed is all the awkward parties. Being around people you purposely don't hang out with or get drunk with anytime of the year – co-workers, friends of friends, family members you've tried to avoid and those you forgot you had – will no doubt entail some variety of awkwardness. This, coupled with the fact that alcohol will probably be served, year-long repressed feelings (good or bad) towards co-workers or family and friends, and whatever current world problem is ailing politics all make for a pretty awkward scene with the potential of that open fire in a fireworks shop from every B grade action movie. However, a substantial dosage of self-awareness and the tips this article provides should make it a bit less uncomfortable.
A general rule of thumb for most parties, shitty holiday ones or not, is to do a lap around to get the lay of the land. Generally, you would be looking for people you know, where the food and drinks are, and a bathroom, but the holiday party adds more variables you'll have to be keeping an eye out for. Namely, mistletoe. For the same reason the Salvation Army bell ringer doesn't set up shop outside of an Arby's, you'll want to avoid this area completely. Anyone hanging out there during the holiday season is probably in a bad place to begin with, and best to be avoided.
Another unwritten rule your crazy uncle seems to ignore each year is not too drink too much. Of course, you want to show you're not a total holiday humbug and that you can unwind, but never to the mumbling Christmas song lyrics is coming to town hunched over at the counter extent. However, if you do find yourself questioning your behavior – look around. If your behavior has prompted people to take out their phones and start filming you, stop immediately.
Another variable holiday parties throw into the mix is the gift exchange. Whether it be a white elephant gift or secret Santa, it's always hard to gauge how much money you should be spending on the gift. You don't want to be the guy that flaunts how expensive his present was in the faces of all other gift givers. Nor do you want to be the guy that forgot about the exchange and wrapped some ketchup packets he got at the McDonald's drive though on the way to the party. The safest bet here would be an iTunes gift card, or one to a department type store. $15-$30 is a good price range to keep in mind. You also need to prepare and expect for the worst. Chances are you'll end up with the only stupid gag gift, like a gnome painting set. Just accept it.
Conversations are another aspect of the party to be wary about. No doubt there will be someone with opposing views on something important to you – civil rights, immigration, abortion, or the Star Wars prequels. In the interest of not ruining yours and several others' nights by getting into an argument about what the government should do or protect, or whether or not the Neimodian are Asian stereotypes, walk the path to the food table if you can't hold your tongue. The more you eat the less you speak, so avoid touchy subjects with seconds. If it all gets to be too much, just nod and smile politely.
Chances are, you'll be tempted to use a few holiday themed pickup lines throughout the night. Don't. Pick up lines in general have a very low success rate, and I doubt adding a holiday pun or rewording Christmas song lyrics will raise your chances any higher. Saying something like "Let's spread some holiday cheer. You spread and I'll cheer", "your stocking won't be the only thing full tonight", or "want to make it on my naughty list?" are even too cheesy for porn, and definitely don't belong in your office Christmas party.
Unfortunately, even if you follow all these tips, there's still a chance your night could go south. I can't help you if your boss drunkenly hit on you at your office Christmas party, however I expect there to be a support group for that. But that's just too little too late. If you choose to forgo the cliché holiday party and not take any of the risk associated with it, the easiest way to con your way out of going would be to create some sort of new religion. Try and start off every sentence with "as ostriginian" or "according to the sacred Osturious" and hopefully it'll do the trick and your friends and co-workers will be too fearful of offending you to invite you to their festive bash.

Guided practice: continuity and change in the Byzantine Empire
Read about the continuities and changes between the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire and complete guided practice.
- The Byzantine Empire was the eastern continuation of the Roman Empire after the Western Roman Empire's fall in the fifth century CE. It lasted from the fall of the Roman Empire until the Ottoman conquest in 1453.
- Continuities: The Byzantine Empire initially maintained many Roman systems of governance and law and aspects of Roman culture. The Byzantines called themselves "Roman". The term "Byzantine Empire" was not used until well after the fall of the Empire.
- Changes: The Byzantine Empire shifted its capital from Rome to Constantinople, changed the official religion to Christianity, and changed the official language from Latin to Greek.
From Rome to Byzantium
The fall of the Roman Empire was a pivotal moment in world history. But we sometimes forget that part of the Roman Empire continued on. Even though the Western Roman Empire, which was centered around Rome, collapsed, the Eastern Roman Empire survived as the Byzantine Empire.
The Byzantine Empire lasted for a millennium after the fall of the Roman Empire, ending with the Ottoman conquests in 1453. While the Roman Empire's capital was Rome (for most of its history), the Byzantine Empire's capital city was Constantinople, which was previously called Byzantium, and today is Istanbul. The capital was well-positioned near active trade routes connecting east and west. Constantinople was named after Emperor Constantine I, the first Byzantine emperor.
In this article, we're going to look at some of the continuities between the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire. We'll also examine some of the changes that occurred, transforming the Eastern Roman Empire into the Byzantine Empire.
The Roman Empire in the east transformed into the Byzantine Empire over time, so it's pretty hard to neatly separate the histories of the two empires, but most scholars agree that Emperor Constantine's reign was the start of the Byzantine Empire.
Constantine—who ruled from 324 CE to 337 CE—made some significant changes to the Roman Empire. Two of these changes were the new capital at Byzantium and the new Christian character of the empire (Constantine legalized Christianity and eventually converted himself). These changes eventually created a distinct culture which would characterize the Byzantine Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476.
Even so, people living under the Byzantine Empire continued to see themselves as Romans and continued to refer to their empire as the Roman Empire; the terms Byzantine Empire and Eastern Roman Empire were created much later.
Even though the Byzantine Empire is considered to start with Constantine's moving the capital to Byzantium, it was not considered a separate empire by historians until the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476.
Even during this overlap, the nature of the Eastern and Western halves of the Empire began to diverge. In particular, the Greek language became more and more important in the East relative to Latin.
In addition, Constantine legalized Christianity. However, this was still a period of transition. It wasn't until later, under Theodosius I—who ruled from 379 CE to 395 CE—that Christianity became the official state religion of the Roman Empire (both East and West).
During Constantine's rule, there was a mix of Christian and pagan elements. Let's look at this passage written by the historian Timothy E. Gregory:
There can be no doubt that, from 312 CE onward, Constantine favored the Christian church and that he offered it considerable wealth. He clearly became deeply involved in the religious controversies of the age and he favored Christians in the employ of the state. At the same time, Constantine continued to hold the office of pontifex maximus (chief priest of the state religion), and pagan symbols continued to appear on his coins, at least until 323 CE.
The early Byzantine state
Once the Western Roman Empire fell to Germanic conquerors in 476 CE, the Eastern Empire continued on as what historians would later refer to as the Byzantine Empire.
The first truly strong Byzantine Emperor was Justinian—who ruled the Byzantine Empire from 527 CE to 565 CE. He was able to reclaim much of the Western Empire during his reign.
Emperor Justinian also built upon Roman ideas when he put forth a unified Roman legal code. Prior to his reign, Roman laws had differed from region to region and many contradicted one another.
It was during Justinian's reign that many of the most notable buildings and works of art in the Byzantine Empire were completed. In Constantinople, the Hagia Sophia was constructed under Justinian's orders. At the time, it was the largest church in the world. Justinian also contributed to Constantinople's growth by creating trade routes linking the capital to major cities to the east and west.
A changing empire
Even after Justinian's efforts to reunify the Byzantine Empire, reconquer territory, and institute reforms, the stability of the Byzantine Empire was at risk. Attacks from neighboring groups—including the Persians, Slavs, Arabs, and Turkic steppe people—weakened the integrity of the empire. The empire also lacked revenues and struggled to keep up with mounting military expenses.
Emperor Heraclius'—who ruled from 610 CE to 641 CE—responded to these threats with a new set of reforms. He restructured the military, paying for it by clamping down on corruption and increasing taxes. He also started putting less gold in coins so he could mint more of them, enabling him to pay more soldiers.
Despite these reforms, wars with the Arabs and the Slavs significantly damaged the Byzantine Empire and reduced its territory drastically. Though the government organization had stayed very much the same since the time of the Romans, the Byzantine Empire began to transform in more drastic ways in the aftermath of these devastating wars.
How did it change? Let's read this passage written by Byzantine scholar Robert Browning:
Since the days of Diocletian and Constantine, at the turn of the third and fourth centuries, rigid separation of civil and military authority had been the rule. Civilian governors of provinces had no authority over troops stationed in their area. Army commanders had none over the civilian population. [...] It was a system designed to keep generals from dabbling in politics and staging military coups, and it worked. But it was cumbersome, it depended on the cooperation of the governing bodies of cities, which had to undertake much of the execution of government policy, and it made coordination of military and civil policy slow and difficult. Now that no region of the empire was safe from attack, something different was needed. [...] Territories still under Byzantine control were formed into military districts under the command of a strategos (army leader), who was responsible for all aspects of government, civil and military. [...] These new military districts were called themes, a word whose primary connotation is that of a division of troops.
In the passage, Browning described the emergence of the theme system. During Heraclius' rule the Byzantine Empire switched from the provincial administration system to this new system. Under the theme system, land was granted to farmers who, in return, provided the empire with loyal soldiers. Each district was called a theme. The efficiency of this system allowed the empire to keep hold of Asia Minor.
The previous system of provinces was a civil administration, but the theme system fused civil administration with military administration. This system was fairly successful. Because there was not enough money to pay soldiers, land grants were able to subsidize the military. Also, soldiers had a personal stake in the land since it was their own.
By the early eighth century, the Byzantine Empire began to look very different from the Roman Empire. The loss of the empire's richest provinces, coupled with successive invasions, had reduced the imperial economy to a relatively impoverished state, compared to the resources available to the neighboring Arab Muslim empires.
The Byzantine government and military had been restructured, and the culture of the empire changed, too. As of Heraclius' reign, Greek replaced Latin as the official language. Instead of an urbanized, cosmopolitan civilization, the Byzantine Empire became an agrarian, military-dominated society caught up in a lengthy struggle with its neighbors.
Between the ninth and the eleventh century, the Byzantine Empire went on the offensive against its enemies and expanded its territory, conquering Crete, Cyprus, and most of Syria. This period saw the conversion of the Bulgarians, Serbs, and Rus to Orthodox Christianity, permanently changing the religious map of Europe and the face of the Byzantine Empire.
Throughout this period, there was great competition among nobles for land in the theme system. Since landowners could collect taxes and control the military forces of their themes, they became independent of the emperors and acted independently. This weakened the authority of the emperors. Landowners tended to increase taxes on small farmers in order to enrich themselves. These increased taxes caused riots and further destabilized an already weakened order.
Though the situation seemed bleak, the Byzantine Empire survived into the fifteenth century, undergoing more transformations. However, the empire incurred significant territorial losses, and by the time the Ottomans conquered Constantinople, the Byzantine Empire was little more than Constantinople itself.
Want to join the conversation?
- how long did the Byzantine empire and the Roman empire grew together? Before the Roman fell(9 votes)
- It seems like all over from the 5th to the 15th centuries, the Byzantine empire was in strugle against its neighbors, didn't any emperor try to make a peace treaty with them because it seems like it was obvious that the Byzantine empire was getting pretty inferior to its neighbors? (Why not?)(1 vote)
- Justinian did make peace treaties with Persia. If he hadn't Rome would have fallen. He kept the peace with Syria and Egypt by making Theodora his empress he kept the heretical religion (from pope's view) together with Rome. Justinian was never able to convert Syria and Egypt. But with his wife (Theodora) arguing for Syria's and Egypt monotheism, and his arguing for western Christianity, all the sides felt the had either the empress or the emperor's ear. Justinian kept the uneasy peace by marriage and buying off the Persians. The problem was the west, who never supported the Roman empire. Instead sending they send mindless crusades ultimately sacking Rome (Constantinople) itself! When the Pope applied this killing blow, Islam was able to waltz in after being defeated all the previous times. Changing the name of Constantinople to Istanbul. Eastern Rome kept the peace, duh, for a 1000 years... by making peace with all it's neighbors. It was the West and it's influence that inadvertently strangled Constantinople. There is peace in Jerusalem with the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and Islam sharing the site. Again the fanaticism of the Crusades opened the door for Islam to walk in. Name any 1000 year empire. Eastern Roman Empire lasted because it kept the peace. It was the west that couldn't make peace with Persia, Monotheism, Islam or Orthodox Christianity.(10 votes)
- How did the defenders at Constantinople defend the city for the 55 days that the siege lasted before the city fell?(4 votes)
- Defense is always easier than offense. Defenders merely have to stop people getting "in" until supplies run out. Attackers have to bring their supplies along with them. The defenders merely needed to engage in watchful waiting. Apparently, in this case, the attackers were able to wait longer.(4 votes)
- At what point did the Byzantine empire become Istanbul?(4 votes)
- Constantinople was renamed Istanbul when the Ottomans under Mehmed II captured it. The Byzantine Empire ceased to exist following this conquest.(4 votes)
- I was a little confused about the whole loss of territory, I thought they did lose some.(5 votes)
- Nice post. I like how you explained what you were confused about(1 vote)
- Why could landowners in the Theme System collect taxes and control the military forces of their themes? Weren't there army leaders in each Theme to control everything?(3 votes)
- Why do some people say that Rome never fell?(2 votes)
- I'm pretty sure it's because Roman culture and life more transformed into Italy and some other places than it did die. For example, Latin evolved into Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, etc. A lot of people considered themselves Romans well into the common era despite the fact that we say it fell centuries prior!(2 votes)
- Are they still claimnig themselves as Romans?(2 votes)
- Not in 2020 they're not. But to the end of the empire, they not only claimed to be Romans, but they WERE the Roman empire.(2 votes)

"Congress must help prevent backsliding by Saudi Arabia," said one activist, "by passing the Yemen War Powers Resolution and blocking U.S. military support for any renewed hostilities."
By Jessica Corbett Pubished 4-20-2022 by Common Dreams
More than five dozen advocacy groups on Wednesday pressured Congress to cut off U.S. military support for the Saudi-led war and blockade on Yemen, highlighting that it "has helped cause the deaths of nearly half a million people and pushed millions more to the edge of starvation."
The groups' letter to Congress—led by Churches for Middle East Peace, Demand Progress, Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL), MoveOn, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation—comes in the midst of a two-month truce.
The signatories are calling on lawmakers to co-sponsor a forthcoming War Powers Resolution from Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.), declaring that "Congress must reassert its Article I war powers, terminate U.S. involvement in Saudi Arabia's war and blockade, and do everything it can to support the Yemen truce."
Hassan El-Tayyab, legislative director for Middle East policy at FCNL, said in a statement Wednesday that "the recently announced nationwide truce between Yemen's warring parties offers hope that an end to the seven-year conflict might finally be possible."
"Congress must help prevent backsliding by Saudi Arabia, which has driven so much of the violence through indiscriminate airstrikes and crippling blockade, by passing the Yemen War Powers Resolution and blocking U.S. military support for any renewed hostilities," he added. "Congressional pressure is critical right now to keep the warring parties at the bargaining table and off the battlefield."
JVP Action was proud to join 60+ national orgs today in calling on Congress to end all US support for the war in Yemen through a War Powers Resolution. After eight years of war and humanitarian suffering, #YemenCantWait any longer. https://t.co/A44C61IV5y

A coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates began waging war on Yemen when then-U.S. President Barack Obama was in office and continued to do so throughout former President Donald Trump's tenure.
When President Joe Biden took office, "he committed to ending U.S. support for the Saudi-UAE-led coalition's brutal war on Yemen," noted Demand Progress foreign policy campaigner Cavan Kharrazian. "Unfortunately, the U.S. continues to provide critical support for the coalition's war effort and blockade, which has led to one of the world's worst humanitarian crises."
As the letter lays out:
In February 2021, President Biden announced an end to U.S. participation in the Saudi-led coalition's offensive operations in Yemen. Yet the United States continues to provide spare parts, maintenance, and logistical support for Saudi warplanes. The administration also never defined what "offensive" and "defensive" support constituted, and it has since approved over a billion dollars in arms sales, including new attack helicopters and air-to-air missiles. This support sends a message of impunity to the Saudi-led coalition for its bombardment and siege of Yemen.
"With continued U.S. military support, Saudi Arabia escalated its campaign of collective punishment on the people of Yemen in recent months, making the start of 2022 one of the deadliest time periods of the war," the letter points out. "Earlier this year, Saudi airstrikes targeting a migrant detention facility and vital communications infrastructure killed at least 90 civilians, wounded over 200, and triggered a nationwide internet blackout."
The truce has had a positive impact on the Yemeni humanitarian crisis, but it coincides with Russia's war on Ukraine, which is exacerbating food insecurity in various countries including Yemen, where millions of people rely on global aid for survival.
"While we condemn Houthi violations," the letter says, "after seven years of direct and indirect involvement in the Yemen war, the United States must cease supplying weapons, spare parts, maintenance services, and logistical support to Saudi Arabia to ensure the temporary truce is adhered to and hopefully, extended into a lasting peace agreement."
Representatives for groups that signed on to the letter expressed disappointment with the current administration.
"Although President Biden initially seemed to signal that he would end U.S. support for the Saudi-led war on Yemen, it has become clear that his administration is not committed to constraining Saudi aggression," said Annelle Sheline, a research fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. "If it were, we should have observed Saudi airstrikes on Yemen decline under Biden, and instead they have risen."
"U.S. support for the Saudi war continues despite a growing recognition that the U.S.-Saudi relationship is deeply dysfunctional and fails to serve U.S. interests," she added. "For this reason, it is imperative that Congress pass a War Powers Resolution, to remind the executive branch of Congress' constitutional authority and role as a voice for the American people."
Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), also emphasized the responsibility of Congress, noting that "from Obama to Trump to Biden," successive administrations "have skirted our constitution to pursue the war in Yemen without seeking congressional approval."
"This ill-considered venture has led not only to devastating consequences for Yemen's people, but endangered our military forces and our nation, making us legitimate targets for counterattack," she said. "It's time to put an end to short-sighted, reckless miscalculations on the decision to go to war: We need to reaffirm this decision must always rest in the hands of the people's Congress by passing the Yemen War Powers Resolution."
