About the hotel
Standing in the shadow of York Minster, the BEST WESTERN PLUS Dean Court Hotel enjoys, without a doubt, the finest location of any hotel in the city (if not the country)! History and heritage lay on our doorstep, with the county capital's major attractions, boutique shops and eateries all a short walk away. Speaking of walks, the city's famous ghost tours are well worth joining, while plenty of parkland can be enjoyed on a relaxing stroll through the nearby museum gardens. York Races is of course a draw if you fancy a flutter, but the safest bet of all is our award-winning cuisine and fine wines! Leeds, Harrogate and Knaresborough are all within easy reach, but we agree with the Vikings and Romans.
York is the place to be! Please note that if the room description does not state breakfast is included, then it is for only the room.

Asteroid Exploration HAYABUSA (MUSES-C) / Missions. Scientific observations were made over the asteroid Itokawa from mid-September through end-November 2005.
Four observation instruments from altitudes of 20km to 3km observed Itokawa's shape, terrain, surface altitude distribution, reflectance (spectrum), mineral composition, gravity, major element composition, etc. The observations provided us with much new information to study the asteroid formation process. By revealing the detailed figure of the most common small asteroid, we acquired important guidelines for future explorations of all types of asteroids. The scientific observation results were published in a special edition of the U.S. scientific journal "Science," a first for Japanese explorers. 25143 Itokawa. Discovery and naming[edit] The asteroid was discovered in 1998 by the LINEAR project and was given the provisional designation 1998 SF36. In August 2003,[4] it was officially named after Hideo Itokawa, a Japanese rocket scientist. Description[edit] Itokawa is an S-type asteroid. Radar imaging by Goldstone in 2001 observed an ellipsoid 630 ± 60 m long and 250 ± 30 m wide.[5][6] Itokawa's orbit This artist's impression, based on detailed spacecraft observations, shows the strange peanut-shaped asteroid Itokawa.
Exploration[edit] Surface features[edit] Names of major surface features were proposed by Hayabusa scientists and accepted by the Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature of the International Astronomical Union. Craters[edit] Regiones[edit] Regiones (geologically distinct areas) on Itokawa. Analysis of particles reported in August 2011[edit] Schematic view of 25143 Itokawa[13] References[edit] Further reading[edit] External links[edit] Hayabusa. Hayabusa (はやぶさ?
, literally "Peregrine Falcon") was an unmanned spacecraft developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to return a sample of material from a small near-Earth asteroid named 25143 Itokawa to Earth for further analysis. The spacecraft also carried a detachable minilander, MINERVA, which failed to reach the surface. Mission firsts[edit] In addition, Hayabusa was the first spacecraft designed to deliberately land on an asteroid and then take off again (NEAR Shoemaker made a controlled descent to the surface of 433 Eros in 2000, but it was not designed as a lander and was eventually deactivated after it arrived).
Technically, Hayabusa was not designed to "land"; it simply touches the surface with its sample capturing device and then moves away. How mission Worked.

Just after 9:51 a.m. EST (11:21 p.m. local time), a bright fireball lit up the Australian Outback as the main body of the Hayabusa spacecraft re-entered the Earth's atmosphere, burning up.

When news breaks in the world of astronomy, we try to get word of that to you here as quickly as possible.
Our motto has been: "If it's a big story in astronomy, you should be able to find out about it here." For example, in the past year you've read here about the heroic effort to get the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa ("Falcon") back to Earth. Before, during, and after its brief touchdown on asteroid 25143 Itokawa in November 2005, the craft suffered several crippling malfunctions — solar-cell panels damaged by a powerful flare, complete failure of its stabilization system, an internal fuel leak, loss of thruster rockets and three of its four ion-drive engines, partial battery failure — any of which might have doomed the mission.
Yet somehow the mission's engineers have coaxed Hayabusa back to Earth's doorstep, albeit two years later than planned. All that said, the truth is that I've kept mum about some aspects of this developing story. Chunk of Asteroid, Returns to Earth. A Japanese space capsule perhaps carrying the first ever sample from an asteroid is on track for a Sunday parachute landing in South Australia.
The Hayabusa spacecraft is on-target, nearing completion of a seven year round-trip sojourn to asteroid Itokawa - a $200 million technology demonstration mission undertaken by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Ground teams in Australia are in final preparation, gearing up for the Hayabusa return, said Paul Abell, a planetary scientist from NASA?

That's when the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) expects the sample return capsule of the agency's technology demonstrator spacecraft, Hayabusa, to boomerang back to Earth. The capsule, along with its mother ship, visited a near-Earth asteroid, Itokawa, five years ago and has logged about 2 billion kilometers (1.25 billion miles) since its launch in May 2003. With the return of the Hayabusa capsule, targeted for June 13 at Australia's remote Woomera Test Range in South Australia, JAXA will have concluded a remarkable mission of exploration -- one in which NASA scientists and engineers are playing a contributing role.

Hayabusa Phase: Past Launch Date: May 09, 2003 Mission Project Home Page - The primary scientific objective of the Hayabusa (formerly Muses-C) mission was to collect a surface sample of material from the small (550 x 180 meter) asteroid 25143 Itokawa (1998 SF36) and return the sample to Earth for analysis.

Follow @universetoday on Twitter. Japanese Hayabusa probe returns from a tiny asteroid, 3 billion. The Japanese Hayabusa probe burned up in Earth's atmosphere on Sunday, but not before releasing the capsule that was the reason for its seven-year journey. Japan launched the Hayabusa (Japanese for peregrine falcon) probe back in 2003, aimed at a small near-earth asteroid named Itokawa. The probe was designed to land on Itokawa, a mile-long bean-shaped asteroid, gather samples, and return home, which it did, this past weekend. That image above is of the probe burning up in our atmosphere--don't worry, that was part of the plan. Hayabusa Falls to Earth. Hayabusa falls to Earth, panels from probably the most poignant cartoon about a space-probe since XKCD's spirit cartoon.
Hayabusa, the little spacecraft that could, returned to earth on Sunday June 13. I've been following Hayabusa for some time, so it was a bit disappointing I forgot about its re-entry, but we were off bushwalking so I was distracted. The spacecraft itself was destroyed in the re-entry (and captured in the spectacular video below), but the asteroid sample return capsule was successfully retrieved and appears to be intact. Whether there is any asteroidal material in the sampler is unknown, the projectile that was supposed to kick up material to be sampled didn't work, but asteroids are fairly dusty things, and the simple impact of the sampler tube make have captured some material.
Epoch Times - Japanese Asteroid Probe Hayabusa Crash Lands on Ea. By Jack PhillipsEpoch Times Staff Created: June 14, 2010 Last Updated: June 15, 2010 This picture shows the asteroid Itokawa and its surface (R)JAXA/AFP/Getty Images (JAXA/AFP/Getty Images) The Japanese space probe Hayabusa re-entered the Earth's atmosphere and crashed in Woomera, in Australia's outback on Sunday.Hayabusa was launched back in 2003 by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and traveled 3.1 million miles to collect asteroid samples from "a near-Earth asteroid" called Itokawa, NASA said.
NASA said that the entry of the probe back into the atmosphere created a massive fireball across the Australian sky, eventually crashing into the South Australian outback of the Woomera Prohibited Area, a military territory. Entering the atmosphere at more than 27,000 miles per hour with a temperature of 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the probe created a "breathtakingly beautiful" fireball, writes Ken Kremer for NASA. Scientists find asteroid probe, need can opener.
Scientists have recovered part of a Japanese space probe that returned to Earth after landing on an asteroid to collect samples, and they're preparing to open it. After visiting asteroid, Hayabusa space capsule returns to Japan. Astronomy Picture of the Day. SETI Institute: Life at the SETI Institute: Meet Dr. Peter Jenni.

Dialgebra cohomology as a G-algebra
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: It is well known that the Hochschild cohomology of an associative algebra admits a G-algebra structure. In this paper we show that the dialgebra cohomology of an associative dialgebra has a similar structure, which is induced from a homotopy G-algebra structure on the dialgebra cochain complex .

An examination of the social couponing revenue model.
So, first some quick words on the brilliance of Groupon and then an exploration of its revenue model. What a deal for the advertiser, right? They pay nothing up front, Groupon pays them from the proceeds of the sale, they pay in product (so it is a trade deal) and pick up new customers, and, like all gift cards, some numbers are never redeemed. It's like a newspaper coming to a business and saying "Hey, let me pay your business owner to advertise with me" – brilliant! No wonder businesses are flocking to Groupon, and in many cities there is a huge waiting list.
With that kind of attraction it's easy to see how Groupon is being touted as the most successful dot com ever. I heard a speaker at this year's MITX Interactive Awards say the company has over $750 million in revenue. On top of that, it carries no inventory, needs very little customer service, doesn't need to advertise, and its technology at its inception was pretty simple. It's easy to see why so many other established and new players are entering the space.
So let's look at a couple Groupon deals and count their money. It's important to point out that the one deal per city thing has gone away and Groupon seems to be mopping up on three levels: national (like the Gap deal that brought in $11 million in one day), metro (like the Boston area), and local (like Natick, MA). My math comes from the fact that most of these deals are based on a 50/50 split between the businesses and Groupon. Of course, it may deviate from that for big, national advertisings, but to be honest, I'm not sure it needs to.
Hyper-Local and National/Multi-Location
So first you log in to Groupon and see the big deal for your area, and then you see a side bar (see below) with other local deals and national or multiple location deals (see below).
Hyper-Local Deals
So now let's look at the kind of cash Groupon is racking in. Here is a hyper-local Natick, MA deal that seems to be running for two days. Keep in mind this is one of what is, or will be, thousands of deals running globally on Groupon at a given moment.
In just 12 hours Groupon did $32,928 in sales and will net $16,464 with a day and a half left on the deal! And this is just one of thousands of deals running. On top of that, the advertiser is getting over 1,000 potential repeat customers!
Multiple Location/National Deals
Now let's look at how Groupon is going to rake in the serious cash. Check out this national deal from American Apparel that has been running for 12 hours. This one really validates the power of this category and big brand potential. This is basically the same model as the Gap deal that got all the attention. What I don't know are the exact terms of the deal, but let's assume the 50/50 split. Also, keep in mind this deal is not heavily promoted like the Gap deal.
So in just 12 hours Groupon did $134,425 in sales and will net over $67,212 with a day and a half left on the deal. One deal in 12 hours, no inventory, no content, no editorial, no postage cost, no billing, and no advertising!
The Copycats
Of course, as this fabulous money-making system became clear to the world, a ton of copycats emerged. (See just a few below.)
While I'm sure a lot of these sites will never hit the critical mass they need to be viable, there are a few important things to remember:
So clearly this is a category that will keep on growing and one that we are going to keep our eyes on for a while, as I believe it will be a viable channel for brick-and-mortar and online businesses to drive sales and pick up new customers. Therefore, it's clear that we as media buyers should think about the logistics of integrating some of these opportunities into our media buying mix and view this as more than just a limited or emerging category.

Of course, users may also consult the extensive online help for this purpose, or use the forum or the support by e-mail. In any case, it is recommended to visit the IP Check (ip-check.info)
Moreover, several minor bugs and stability problems have been resolved, and the program's usability has been enhanced further. By changing to new server protocols within the next four weeks, older versions of JonDo will soon be unusable. Also for this reason, users of earlier versions should update instantaneously, if possible.
What is JonDo?
JonDo is an open source and free-of-charge program for Windows, Linux and MacOS X. It hides the user's IP adress behind an anonymous IP address. In contrast to other anonymizers (VPNs, anonymous proxy servers), the user's anonymity stays protected even against the providers (operators) of the anonymous IP address.

Unit 4 1 UNIT 4 PART A: ENZYME MECHANISMS PART B: PROTEIN EVOLUTION PART C: CONTROL OF ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY NOTE: The unit 4 and 5 tests are combined! Please be sure to prepare both units before you try to tackle the quiz! PART A: ENZYME MECHANISMS Asignment: Nelson & Cox, review pp. 188 - 192, pp. 192 - 194, 204 - 213. In Unit 3 we learned that enzymes form an ES complex when appropriate substrates make weak noncovalent interactions with amino acid side chains. This gives the complex its specificity. Once the ES complex has formed, weak noncovalent interactions are optimized to stabilize the transition state and alow the reaction to proced. In this section we wil learn how specific catalytic groups contribute to catalysis using thre enzymes (chymotrypsin, hexokinase, and enolase) to ilustrate the points. Unit 4 2 Objectives: 1. Binding energy contributes to reaction specificity and catalysis. a. Discuss the following forces that are involved in the binding of substrates to enzymes. For each, point out whether the interacting groups must be precisely aligned to get significant binding and whether the distance betwen interacting groups is critical for binding. 1) electrostatic interactions 2) hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2-5, p. 46) 3) van der Wals forces 4) hydrophobic interactions b. Discuss the importance of binding energy, ?G B , in enzyme catalyzed reactions (pp. 188 - 192). c. Discuss each of the following in terms of binding energy (p. 192). 1) entropy reduction 2) desolvation 3) induced fit 2. Specific catalytic groups contribute to catalysis (pp. 192 - 194) a. Describe general acid-base catalysis. What is the general purpose of acid/base catalysis (pp. 192 - 193)? Use Fig. 6-9 (p. 193) to identify the amino acid side chains that can function as acid-base catalysts. b. Describe covalent catalysis. What is the purpose of covalent catalysis (p. 193)? c. Many enzymes require metal ions for activity. Describe two functions of these metal ions (pp. 193 - 194). Unit 4 3 3. Enzyme activity is afected by pH (p. 204) a. List two reasons why enzyme activity is afected by pH (p. 204). b. In a folded protein, nearby amino acid side chains can influence the pK of a specific side chain. Discuss the efect of a positive microenvironment on the pK of aspartic acid. Wil this positive microenvironment have the same afect on the pK of histidine? Discuss the efect of a negative microenvironment on each of these side chain types. (Note: The book does not give the answer to the above objective. The general idea, though, is that the presence of a positive charge decreases the local proton concentration and so other groups in the vicinity respond to a pH that is higher than the "bulk" value). 4. The catalytic mechanism of Chymotrypsin (pp. 205 - 209, especialy Fig. 6-21, pp. 208 - 209) a. Describe the 2� and 3� structure of chymotrypsin (Fig. 6-18, p. 206). b. Name the thre residues in the "catalytic triad" and discuss their position in the 1� and 3� structure (Fig. 6-18, p. 206). c. Using Fig. 6-21 (pp. 208 - 209) as a guide, discuss the mechanism of action of chymotrypsin. (Note you should be able to name the important amino acids, but you do not need to memorize their position in the 1� sequence.) 1) What is the purpose of the "hydrophobic pocket"? 2) What is the role of each of the residues in the "catalytic triad" in the overal mechanism? 3) Draw the structure of the intermediate. What interactions stabilize this species? What is the name of the region where these interactions occur? 5. What is a transition state analog? Discus the types of evidence that suggest enzyme - transition state complementarity (Box 6-3, pp. 210 - 211). Unit 4 4 6. Use Fig. 6-22 (p. 212) to discuss the role of "induced fit" in the mechanism of Hexokinase. 7. Use Fig. 6-23 (p. 213) to demonstrate the roles of Mg + , Lys 345, and Glu 211 in the mechanism of Enolase. Note: You wil learn about the biological roles of hexokinase and enolase in Unit 10 of this course! PART B: PROTEIN EVOLUTION Genomes today can be quite large and complex, yet they evolved from simpler genomes that contained fewer genes and thus encoded fewer proteins. Where did these "new" genes come from? Many are the result of divergent evolution. In this proces, ancestral genes were duplicated. One copy of the gene continued to encode the same protein, the other was fre to mutate. Sometimes the duplicate gene was mutated such that it became inactive, becoming a pseudogene. Some of these mutations occur in the regions that do not encode protein but instead occur in regions which determine when and in which tisues this protein is made. There are excelent examples of this in the globin gene family in which diferent globin genes are expresed during diferent stages of development. Other mutations lead to subtle changes in protein structure and/or function. Asignment: Nelson & Cox: pp. 29 - 36, 102 - 107. 1. Use Fig. 1-32 (p. 30) to describe the evolution of protein families (also refer to Study Guide section introduction). 2. Use Fig. 1-34 (p. 31) to discuss the "RNA world" scenario. 3. Define the following terms: a. genome (p. 34) b. homolog (pp. 34, 104) Unit 4 5 c. paralog (pp. 34, 104) d. ortholog (pp. 34, 104) e. alignment (pp. 104 - 105) f. pseudogene (Study Guide section introduction) 4. Use Fig. 3-31 (p. 105) to define "signature sequence" and to describe how it can be used to determine how closely two taxonomic groups are related to one another. 5. Breifly describe how homologous sequence information can be used to generate a phylogenetic tre like the one shown in Fig. 3-32 (p. 106). a. What is represented by the "internal nodes"? b. What is the significance of the length of the line that connects two nodes? PART C: CONTROL OF ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY In cel metabolism, groups of enzymes work together in pathways to cary out sets of chemical reactions. In each system there is at least one enzyme that limits the rate of the overal proces because it catalyzes the slowest (or rate-limiting) reaction. These "regulatory enzymes" increase or decrease their catalytic activity in response to signals within the cels. By the action of such regulatory enzymes, the rate of each metabolic sequence is constantly adjusted to provide the metabolites required by the cel. Metabolic pathways are often regulated at the commited step in a pathway. Asignment: Nelson & Cox, pp. 220 - 228. Unit 4 6 1. Briefly, discuss the thre major clases of regulatory enzymes in metabolic pathways clearly distinguishing betwen each clas (p. 220). 2. Alosteric Enzymes (pp. 220 - 222) a. Compare alosteric enzymes to others in terms of structure (p. 220). b. Nelson & Cox use aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) as a model of an alosteric enzyme. It consists of both catalytic and regulatory subunits and catalyzes the commited step in the biosynthesis of pyrimidine rings for DNA and RNA. How does ATCase difer from hemoglobin with respect to the types of subunits (Fig. 6-32, p. 221)? c. Discuss the kinetic properties of alosteric enzymes (p. 222). 1) In a cel, what is the key advantage of any enzyme with sigmoid versus hyperbolic kinetics (p. 222)? 2) Discuss the thre substrate-activity curves shown in Fig. 6-34 (p. 222). 3) Review the meaning of homotropic and heterotropic alosteric control (p. 222). 3. Reversible Covalent Modification (pp. 223 - 225) a. Using Fig. 6-35 (p. 223) as a guide, list several types of covalent modification. b. Phosphoryl groups afect the structure and catalytic activity of many proteins (pp. 224 - 225) 1) Name the clas of enzymes that ataches phosphoryl groups to specific amino acids (p. 224). 2) Name the clas of enzymes that removes phosphoryl groups (p. 224). Unit 4 7 3) Name the thre amino acid side chains on which both of the above enzyme types act (p. 224). What functional group do these thre side chains have in common? 4) Explain why the addition of a phosphoryl group results in altered enzyme activity (p. 224). 5) Discuss the regulation of glycogen phosphorylase by covalent modification (pp. 224 - 225). 4. Regulation by proteolytic cleavage (pp. 226 - 227) a. Distinguish betwen zymogens and proenzymes (pp. 226 - 227)? b. Use Fig. 6-38 (p. 227) to explain how chymotrypsinogen is activated? c. Since this type of activation is ireversible, how are proteolyticaly activated enzymes inactivated (p. 227)? Jim Blankenship Microsoft Word - U04_F08.doc

Cabo Chips
April 14, 2015 | 1 Comment
Designed by ROOK | Country: United States
"The challenge: Create a new compelling visual identity and packaging design for Cabo Chips to better express the brand's provenance, personality, spirit and unique taste.
Our perspective: Virtually every tortilla chip attempts to communicate Mexican provenance in one way or another. The opportunity was to find a new way to reflect location; one that's compelling, contemporary and born out of a genuine story.
"The approach needed to be different: Not stereotypically authentic, not symbolic, but expressive. We wanted to create a sense of place for Cabo Chips that reflects the experience of Baja through lifestyle, emotion and energy. It's not about simplifying a complex origin into a single symbol, icon or style, but about communicating Baja's depth, richness and mood in an expressive and layered way." – Creative Partner and Founder of ROOK, Mark Christou."
Two Prophets Tequila
April 13, 2015 | 1 Comment
Designed by Aaron-Harper Lee | Country: United States | Student Work
"The objective was to design sustainable packaging for multiple units of breakable items such as glass or ceramics while keeping shelving and display in mind.
The concept was a hybrid of polar worlds where the dead meet the living. A homage to the Mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), was merged with the American tradition of Moonshine crafting. Two varieties of Mezcal Liquor – Añejo and Dorado – represent legendary twin warriors reincarnated as the sun and the moon. Presented together as a pair of bottles with respective shot glasses, this project demonstrates that it is possible to design sustainable packaging for multiple units of breakable goods with little material.
The target audience for Two Prophets are thrill-seekers and curious millennials."
The Incredible Masters of Bakery

Designed by Strømme Throndsen Design | Country: Norway
"Ringnes is Norway's largest brewer and part of the Carlsberg Group. Strømme Throndsen Design has redesigned their Nordlands Pils, a regional Northern Norwegian beer with a history dating back to the 19th century, that looked to establish a more contemporary interpretation of their heritage.
All the original elements have been kept but have been redrawn and hand lettered with a retrospecitive appreciation for detail and craft, and the iconic Nordlands boat has been given more contrast and dynamism to stand out in the shelves.
The redesign clearly provides the beer with a high quality and brand sensitive revision of the established local pilsner."

New Edition of the 5 lb Book of GRE Practice Problems: Even Better Practice!
Today the second edition of our 5 lb. Book of GRE Practice Problems comes out. Oodles of hours of hard work have gone into this edition, and we're proud to share it with you.
You're getting more problems—over 2,000—in a slightly lighter package (still over 5 lbs, of course). How?
Technology! We've put close to 500 of these problems online. Almost two hundred of these beauties are brand-new, so register your book and check them out.
In the physical package, you'll still get your fill of solid problems, both new and re-written. We closely examined every first-edition problem for its GRE-likeness. Problems that needed an overhaul got one. In verbal, for instance, you'll still find tough vocabulary—just as you will on the GRE itself. But you'll find a better balance of tough sentence structures and fact patterns—just as the GRE presents.
In small ways and large, we've labored to make the look and feel of every problem ever more GRE-like. We replaced slash fractions (such as 1/2) with horizontal-line versions. We slid the numbering of QC questions so that the given information is actually above the number, because that's how the Official Guide does it. We scrubbed and buffed the text of questions to a fine shine, in order to reflect the tiniest nuances of GRE style.
We also thoroughly edited our explanations. Where things were a little unclear before, we clarified them. The "voice of the teacher" comes through even better now.
In all of this work, we listened to you. We studied what you liked—and didn't—about the first edition. Our endeavor has been to correct deficiencies and build upon strengths. We hope you find the second edition an even better resource than the first.
How to "Read" Your Practice Tests
So, you've taken a practice test! Maybe you're closing in on the score you want, or maybe you still have some distance left to travel. Regardless of which scenario applies to you, "reading" your practice test data is an incredibly crucial element to GRE progress!
I write this assuming I don't need to discuss looking at your score, comparing overall quantitative to overall verbal, etc. Everyone looks at the 'big' numbers. The question is, what eureka moments can we gain from a deeper analysis?
There are three components to analyzing a practice test: analyzing timing, analyzing accuracy by question type, and analyzing accuracy by topic tested.
Analyzing Timing
You can't analyze your timing until you know what your timing should look like.
Does anything stand out to you in image above? Why do some questions take you less than one minute, while some take more than three? We expect some variation across different questions – Reading Comprehension should take longer than Text Completion or Sentence Equivalence, and Data Interpretation questions (especially the first DI question) will usually take longer than Quantitative Comparison. But why are there such wide swings in question time within the QC question? And I can't help but notice that the two Discrete Quantity questions both took less time than the vast majority of the QC questions. Perhaps this is someone who is skilled in math, but doesn't yet truly grasp the logic underlying the QC questions.
A review of QC as a question type is probably called for from this practice test.
Another element of timing is more fundamental (and the above image captures this concept also). Do you know when to let a question go, guess, and move on to the next question? Any time you spent three minutes on a question, you had a problem letting go. Right or wrong, that question hurt you.
Bottom line, when you analyze timing in a practice test, you want to see two things: 1) question by question timing – were you able to let a question go when needed, and 2) question type timing – do you have the desired timing for each question type?
Now it's time to Generate an Assessment Report!!! (It's exciting because it's got three exclamation points )
Analyzing Accuracy by Question Type
Take a few moments and see what you can find in the image above. Don't worry, I'll wait
Seriously, there's a lot you should consider here. If you haven't been looking for at least 5 minutes, you haven't spent enough time. And although I *said* this is the Accuracy analysis portion of this post, we're not done with timing.
First, let's talk good decisions vs poor decisions. Good decisions – on TC, you know when to get out of a question. Look at the Average Time Wrong vs Average Time right for the Harder and Devilish TC questions. That's what we want to see! This indicates you recognize when more time will/won't pay off. (Maybe… more on this in a moment.)
So why aren't you making the same decisions in SE?
Finally, why, why, why are you spending five minutes – on AVERAGE across three questions – in RC? What's going on here? There's some leeway in RC, because of the time needed to read and process a longer passage, but not five minutes leeway.
On the Easier RC question that you missed, you missed it in one minute. This indicates you were confident in your answer. Confident in the wrong answer – somewhere in this question is a trap that you fell for, and you need to figure out what that trap was!
Back to the TC timing: one possibility is you know when to get out of TC, and that's why your wrong answers take less time than the right answers. Another, more disturbing possibility, is you're cheating yourself on TC time. How do I know this? Look at the variation between TC and SE accuracy – it's not huge, but the discrepancy is there. Why is TC accuracy lower?
Finally, the most obvious element of this analysis is that RC is your lowest accuracy. Time to go back and study!!!
Analyzing Accuracy by Topic Tested
This issue cannot be addressed by looking at one image – you will generate an assessment report, and view the Analysis by Content Area and Topic. There are a few things you're looking for here.
First, and foremost, are you seeing accuracy and speed in topics you've studied? If you haven't studied Geometry yet, who cares if your Geometry accuracy is 20%! But you've spent two full weeks reviewing algebra, so why are you missing 2 out of 3 function/formula questions? Bright side though, your accuracy in Quadratics is through the roof!!
Obviously that paragraph is a hypothetical, but notice two things: first, you need to decide which area(s) deserve your analysis; second, you need to look not just at the overall topic, but also at the subtopics.
You're looking for improvements and discrepancies. Which areas are strong? Which are weak? Do you have a mix of strong and weak areas in one major topic? These are all question you need to ask yourself.
BUT you need to take this with a grain of salt – don't neglect to consider the difficulty of the individual questions! Yes, maybe you missed 2 function questions. But they were both Devilish difficulty! You're not weak in this area, you just got hit by some of the worst questions.
Finally, don't neglect to examine timing in this area of analysis. Yes, you were accurate in Rates questions. But you spent 4 minutes on them. Time to study!!
Final Thoughts
I hope you've found this helpful. If you go back and look at my previous GRE blog posts, I think you'll notice that this post contains many, many more rhetorical questions. That's the point of practice test analysis. In the test, and when you're studying, the computer, or the book, or whatever study source you're using is asking you questions.
Analyzing your practice tests is the time for you to ask the questions. What are the weak areas? Strong areas? Why am I performing differently in Word Problems vs Geometry?
And there's one question you must ask, which I haven't addresses, simply because of how much space it would require – Are you seeing improvement???
Every time you take a practice test, from the second practice test on to the last, look at the most recent test, do all this analysis. Then look at the test prior – what's changed? What has stayed the same? Have you improved in your weaknesses, and have strengths remained strong?
A practice test doesn't teach you anything in and of itself – but it tells you where you are, and where you're moving, and what you *should* be teaching yourself.
Good Luck!!!
Manhattan Prep Instructor Wows With Record-Setting Jeopardy Win
Yesterday, the whole wide internet was shocked by the Jeopardy dominance of "This dude Michael", but here at Manhattan Prep we weren't surprised at all. We already knew that dude was smart and we knew that dude had the mathematical wherewithal to bet $7,000 without batting an eyelash.
Here at MPrep we know that dude as Michael Bilow (one of those people who command such respect that he must always be talked about using his last name lest anyone in earshot mistakenly attribute an anecdote or joke to some less deserving Michael). On Jeopardy, he lived up to his legend taking home the fourth highest single-day winnings in Jeopardy history: $57,198.
Michael Bilow joined the Manhattan Prep family in 2011 using his perfect GRE score and spectacular teaching chops to secure a role as an LA-based GRE instructor. A few years later we realized we needed more Bilow in our business so we asked him to join the Marketing Department. He took a position as our Business Data Analyst, while continuing to teach GRE classes and pursue his PhD. After seeing him flawlessly juggle those responsibilities, we never had any doubt that he would take the Jeopardy world by fire.
By now the whole country knows of Bilow's intellectual prowess, but we know so much more. Michael is a dedicated practitioner of improv, a delightful presence in Google Hangout meetings, and a stylish dresser. We can't wait for his next trip to the New York City headquarters so he can buy us a drink with his winnings after he takes a quick a nap in a tutoring pod.
Congrats, Michael Bilow! Keep it up!
How to Switch from the GRE to the GMAT
Lately, we've been talking about how to decide which test to take. What if you decide to switch from the GRE to the GMAT? That's what we'll tackle today! (Next time, we'll talk about what to do if you want to switch from the GMAT to the GRE.)
How do I study?
The overall way that you want to study doesn't actually change that much; rather, you'll just need to change what you are studying, as discussed later in this article.
First, you'll need to determine whether the way that you've already been studying is actually the optimal way. If not, then you'll need to make some changes, regardless of whether you stick with the GRE or switch to the GMAT.
The GRE and the GMAT are both executive reasoning tests; that is, the test makers want to know how you think and make decisions. You of course need to know content (certain facts, rules, formulas) in order to do well on either test, but that level of study is not enough; you also need to lift yourself to a second level of understanding that allows you to think your way through these sometimes bizarrely-worded problems as effectively and efficiently as possible.
Follow the two links I put in the last paragraph. Take some time to just think about the concepts presented there. Has this been your approach to studying so far? If so, great. Keep thinking and working in that way.
If not, however, recognize that you're going to need to start studying with this new mindset, regardless of whether you take the GRE or the GMAT.
What are my strengths and weaknesses?
Any time you're developing or revising a study plan, you'll want to put together a solid analysis of your strengths and weaknesses.
If you have been studying for the GRE for a while, then you should have some practice CAT data. (If not, or if it has been more than 6 weeks since you last took a CAT, then you'll need to take one to get the data. Make sure to take the test under official conditions, including the essays, length of breaks, and so on.)
Analyze your most recent two CATs (this link tells you how to analyze Manhattan Prep CATs). If you haven't taken MPrep CATs, you can still read through that link to get an idea of how you want to analyze your data from another test. Your goal is to split all question types and content into one of three buckets:
Bucket 1: Strengths. I'll still study and practice these but not as heavily as other areas.
Bucket 2: Low-hanging Fruit: These are my easiest opportunities for improvement. Careless mistakes. Things that I get wrong fast. Things that I get right but just a little too slowly.
Bucket 3: Weaknesses. These are areas that I'll ignore until I've worked out my Bucket 2 issues. Things that I'm likely to get wrong even if I give myself unlimited time. Things that I get right but way too slowly. Things that use up way too much mental energy, even if I get them right.
Your primary focus until your next practice test will be working a lot to improve Bucket 2, while maintaining Bucket 1 skills and getting Bucket 3 questions wrong fast (yes, seriously!).
[Aside: there are certain things that will stay in Bucket 3 forever. I'm terrible at combinatorics and I'm pretty bad at 3D geometry. That's been true since my very first practice GRE, more than 10 years ago! When I see these, I'll give it a look in case the problem is very similar to one that I do remember how to do, but otherwise, I pick my favorite letter and move on.]
Okay, now that you know what your strengths and weaknesses are, you need to familiarize yourself with the differences between the GRE and the GMAT.
What new things do I have to learn?
The Essays and Integrated Reasoning
You won't care as much about one difference, so let's get it out of the way. At the beginning of the GRE, you write two essays. The GMAT also asks you to write an essay but in place of the second essay you'll have to do the Integrated Reasoning section, a multiple-choice section that mixes quant and verbal skills.
This section is different enough from the others that you will have to study how to answer these questions and how to manage your time during the section. At the time of this publication (in March 2015), schools aren't using IR scores much, so this section is less important, though this could change in the future.
Next, for the quant section of the test, you're going to need to learn about one different question type contained on the GMAT: Data Sufficiency (DS).
The GMAT dives more deeply into number properties, story problems, and some algebra concepts, so you may need to get GMAT books for these topics versus continuing to use your GRE books.
The timing on the two tests is also quite different, so you'll have to learn how to handle 37 questions in 75 minutes on the GMAT, or about 2 minutes per question on average.
Most of your new efforts on verbal will be geared towards the grammar question type, Sentence Correction (SC). You'll definitely need to get some materials that teach you the grammar and meaning issues that are tested on SC.
Again, if you are already using Manhattan Prep materials, you can use what you already have for Reading Comprehension (RC), but you will need to get new materials for Critical Reasoning (CR). The CR question types on the GRE are also tested on the GMAT, but the GMAT contains additional CR question types that don't appear on the GRE.
Again, the timing will be different on the GMAT. You'll need to answer 41 verbal questions in 75 minutes, spending about 1 minute 20 seconds on SC, 2 minutes on CR, and about 6 to 8 minutes total for RC passages and questions.
How do I make a study plan?
We've already talked about part of the process (analyzing your strengths and weaknesses). You may decide to take a class or work with a tutor, in which case your teacher will give you specific assignments . If not, you'll need to develop your own study plan.
Takeaways for switching from GRE to GMAT
(1) Make sure that you're going into your studies with the right overall mindset (executive reasoning!) and that you know how to lift yourself to the "second level" of study.
(2) Begin your studies by concentrating on the aspects that are new to you: the different question types and topics that are tested on the GMAT. Once you build those skills up to a competent level, you'll review all aspects and question types.
GRE, GMAT, and LSAT Instructor Auditions: Decision In A Day (NYC April 12th)
Manhattan Prep offers instructors flexible hours and great pay ($100/hour for all teaching and $116/hour for all tutoring). As a Manhattan Prep instructor, you will have autonomy in the classroom, but you will also be joining an incredibly talented and diverse network of people. We support our instructors by providing students, space, training, and an array of curricular resources.
Our regular instructor audition process, which consists of a series of videos and mini lessons, usually takes weeks, even months, to complete. Through this process we winnow an applicant pool of hundreds down to a few people each year.
We are offering a one-day event on April 12th for teachers interested in working with us. Candidates who attend will receive a decision that day. The event will take place at our company headquarters at 138 West 25th St., 7th Floor, in Manhattan, New York City. It is open to candidates who live in the tri-state area, have taught before, and are experts in the GMAT, LSAT, or GRE.
The day will include several rounds of lessons, as well as other activities. Each round will be pass / fail. The day will begin at 10:30 am. It may last as late as 5:30 pm for those who make it through the final round. Candidates will need to prepare lessons for some rounds; we will send more detailed instructions to candidates when they sign up for the event.
To register, please email Yanilda at email@example.com by Wednesday, April 12. Please include in your email a resume including your teaching experience and a score report.
Should I take the GRE or the GMAT?
Most business schools now accept both the GRE and the GMAT, so which one should you take? I've written on the topic before but it's been nearly a year and I've got some updates.
The conventional wisdom has been that the math is easier on the GRE. Though many schools do accept the GRE, rumors abound that students who take this test are at a bit of a disadvantage because they are expected to do better on the (easier) quant section. Anecdotally, we have heard a few admissions officers admit that they do think about this (strictly off the record, of course). Most admissions officers, though, have said this doesn't matter to them at all, including several officers at the top 10 schools.
So we've come up with a series of decisions to help you make this choice. The first three questions are "deal-breakers"—that is, a certain answer will point you definitively to a specific test (the GMAT, as it happens). The fourth question is…murkier. We'll address that in a little bit.
#1: Do all of "your" schools accept the GRE?
This one is obvious. All business schools (that ask for a standardized test score) accept the GMAT. Most—but not all—accept the GRE. If you want to apply to any schools that require the GMAT, such as London Business School MBA (at the time of this publication), then you'll be taking the GMAT.
#2: Do any of "your" schools prefer the GMAT?
Most schools that accept both tests don't express a preference between the two. Some schools, though, do say that the prefer the GMAT. They publish this preference right on their web site, so go look up all of your schools and see what they say about the GMAT / GRE requirement for admissions.
As of the date of this article, Columbia, Haas (Berkeley) and Anderson (UCLA) all state that they prefer the GMAT, even though they do accept the GRE. If you want to apply to one of these schools, I recommend that you take the GMAT. (Note: these aren't the only three schools that prefer the GMAT; I just picked out the three most well-known ones that do. You still need to research your schools!)
#3: Do you want to go into banking or management consulting after b-school?
The major banks and consulting firms ask for GMAT scores when you apply. (Some of them even ask for undergraduate GPA and SAT scores. I think that data is irrelevant after someone has a b-school GPA and GMAT scores but I'm not the one making the hiring decisions!)

Grad School News: US News 2016 Rankings Released
U.S. News & World Report today released the 2016 Best Graduate School rankings. Like our friends at mbaMission have reminded us, all rankings should be approached with skepticism and that "fit" (be it academic, personal or professional) is far more important.
That said, here's how a few American grad schools stack up this round:

Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is.
In response to The Daily Post's weekly photo challenge: "Serenity."
A New Year and Another Chance
Experienced with the rather scary situation downtown (with the fireworks aiming at people instead of the sky and smoke filling the square and streets), we chose a small hill overlooking the river this time. Turned out, people were playing wildly and it was smoky and a little bit dangerous too.
Ah well, it was a new year countdown.
Usually I'm able to sort of guess the agenda of the year, like, I'm going to get to the next year of my studies in the summer, if things go well. But this year, as I'm graduating, my future remains scarily unclear. This year will bring a lot of new experience, but also a tremendous amount of uncertainty, which to be honest, is extremely unnerving for me. I do hope that I will be pleasantly surprised this year, like I did in 2014 ;)
Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right

How many (Merry Christmas!)
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mothers shawl
Just a child
Is this who we've waited for?
Cause how many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Lyrics from How Many Kings
This is the day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!
Dreaming of a white Christmas
Gift of God
Today was the last day of class before Christmas and New Year holiday! For me, I just wanna relax and enjoy the temporary bliss of not having to go for lectures, for some classmates originally from nearby regions this is the time to go back to family. Not to mention, for a lot of people Christmas season means good food, presents, and fun!
Amid all these wonderful things, give thanks to God for all of them! :D Afterall, Jesus is the ultimate Gift from God, and He alone is the reason of this joyous season!
I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.
-Ecclesiastes 3:12-13

Clash of the Curls, Madonna or Lindsay?
by Beauty
Like us on Facebook
Last night at Madonna's directorial premiere of Filth and Wisdom, there was quite a similarity between two sexy ladies, namely the material girl herself and red-headed starlet Lindsay Lohan. Am I sensing a trend with these very distinct "undulating waves," as they are known in the hair biz? So tell me, who rode the hair wave best in this battle of the curly girlies?

I read that they used the same hairstylist that night.

I think both are cute but a little bit better due to youth on Lindsay.

bluesuze 6 years
I chose Lindsey (and I don't even like her) but I chose her over Madge because Madonna's roots are too dark and obvious
Blackwidowchick 6 years
I see Lindsays roots too. I voted for Madonna because she has been rocking the style since Lindsay was a fetus. La Hohan should stick to stick straight hair.
Charblit 6 years
I voted for Lindsay, but I actually love the look on both of them. So Carrie Bradshaw season two. Bella, do you know how to create a similar look?
ledi 6 years
i like, both are very special characters.hugs for you,ledi.
cherryice 6 years
^I should add it looks like she lightened her hair a little, but it's still not becoming. She could use to take a lesson from her friend Gwyneth. Her hair always looks fresh and clean.
cherryice 6 years
Neither. Why does Madonna never change her hair anymore? It's been the same for years now - parted in the middle, either curly or fuzzy waves, dark roots and this unbecoming brassy medium blonde. What happened to her cutting edge looks? She's not too old to still play around.

Wow, I am in awe of you. 1304 posts (with an overall rating of 1) and 223 ignores.
That is almost 1 ignore for every 6 posts. For the life of me I cannot understand the reasoning behind that statistic. Your posts are very well thought out with a very detailed research to back it up.
Let see if we can get the ratio (ignores to posts) down a bit more. See ya........ your off to ignore.
