This year will be a battle royal at the Emmys for Best Period/Fantasy Costumes for a Series, Limited Series of Movie. Among the nominees are "Feud: Bette and Joan," the FX limited series about Hollywood royalty Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, and "The Crown," the Netflix drama series which chronicles the lives of the British Royal Family headed up by Queen Elizabeth II.
"Feud" submitted their most ambitious episode of the season "And the Winner Is…(The Oscars of 1963)" as the best example of the work of nominees Lou Eyrich, Hannah Jacobs, and Katie Saunders). The level of detail in recreating the actual dresses worn by Davis (Susan Sarandon), Crawford (Jessica Lange) and Olivia de Havilland (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is remarkable. Eyrich, has been on a roll winning three consecutive Emmys for "American Horror Story" (2014-2016). Joining Eyrich are first-time Emmy nominees Jacobs ("Mad Men") and Saunders ("Lackawanna Blues).
"The Crown" submitted the pilot "Wolferton Splash" for nominees Michele Clapton, Alex Fordham, Emma O'Loughlin and Kate O'Farrell). The bulk of the episode takes place at the royal wedding of then Princess Elizabeth (Claire Foy) and Philip Mountbatten (Matt Smith). Like "Feud." the pain-staking attention to detail of the wedding dress, bridesmaid's gowns and military uniforms is an excellent display of craftsmanship. Clapton is a three-time Emmy winner for "Game of Thrones" (2012, 2014 and 2016). She is joined by her "Game of Thrones" collaborator Fordham who shared in the first two of those wins and two first-time nominees: O'Loughlin who also worked on "Game of Thrones" and O'Farrell ("An Education").
At the Costume Designers Guild Awards held at the beginning of the year "The Crown" team took the prize for Best Period Television Series while Clapton also picked up the award for Best Fantasy Television Series for "Game of Thrones." Clapton and "The Crown" both won BAFTAs too.

Jax Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Jax early levels
When you are selecting charcters dont even try and play jax if you dont have a stun, this is just to say people who are reading this build probably dont play jax usually and get the feeling that there immune to damage with life steal and attack speed. If you stack attack damage only you wont get the full efect of his passive. Hextech Gunblade is amazing because it gives a butt load of ap and ad plus it can slow the **** out of people that think they are safe from 1 exhaust and dont use item abilitys. Now back to the stun in the lane, stuns go well with really any character but with jax they are espically useful. imagne being a mele and fighting jax as a close range at both of u lv 6 with no items.... jaxs passive will wreak you no doubt now if jax gets stuned out of his 10 ult stacks it takes 2-3s to build that bak up. To avoid this have your stun e.g. pantheon stun to intiate and then leap to your enemy e.g. ashe and kill her with just a couple of ur ult stacks. Now as most people assume a caster/stun thats playing against you will rape you to death... well the truth is if you dont play smart its damn strait your going to get owned but if you play smart let your teamate go in first(btw idc if your a caster, and if they have a stun you can go initate if you want that mejah stack).

Remember the days of the old school yard?
Pick any teen movie that involves high school action and you'll invariably find there is a focal character who is the power broker or influencer and they are surrounded by both an in crowd and an out crowd. A relationship with this person is fundamental to success, for any of the students, regardless of their potential. The movies show the in crowd as the cool ones who are rich, party hard and have success handed to them on a platter. The out crowd is typecast as geeks and nerds, who are socially inept and desperate for inclusion. Maybe you recall school being like that. I hope not so harsh.
Invariably in the movies, the champion geek eventually makes it good to be one of the in crowd – to be the toast of the town and walk away with an amazing boyfriend or girlfriend. The rest of the out crowd then celebrates success by association. I like this predictable plot that has a happy ending for everyone. Is this how it goes when we grow up, leave school and join the workforce? Well the in and out crowds exist, yes, the happy ending, though – apparently not always.
Here we go again, but in the work yard now
I was talking to a friend recently who made what was simply a passing comment that they felt they'd been set up to fail. I pondered on that. Of course, as often happens, I found myself some time later reading an HBR article on just this very subject, The Set Up to Fail Syndrome. As I read through the article and got an understanding of what the syndrome really was, I realised that there were elements of the syndrome I had experienced in the workplace in the past and as a manager. Could it be that I was unconsciously setting subordinates up to fail? Apparently it could, as distasteful as I find the idea.
Think about the team you work in and where you fit in the team. Is there an in crowd and an out crowd? Are you an inny or an outy? In the workplace, the In crowd refers to those who have the ear of or the favour of the boss. The boss in this scenario is that super cool dude who everyone wants to have a good relationship with but for much more important and legitimate reasons than back in school.
Let's not be too hard on the boss now. They are only human in the end. There are going to be some people who they relate to well and others with whom they will struggle. None of us are any different unless we are some kind of saint. But of course, the boss is supposedly paid to see beyond the idiosyncrasies of individuals that may make some people more challenging to connect to or even tolerate.
Innies and Outies on display
According to HBR's article, we can see the In/Out crowd in action in the work place. We can witness and compare how a manager relates to those in either camp.
- The In camp is trusted and is given a degree of autonomy where the Out crowd is likely to be micromanaged.
- In conversations, the manager will discuss outcomes with the In crowd and detailed processes (how you do it, and usually "my way") with the Out crowd.
- When someone in the In crowd makes and error or omission it's a great learning experience, but in the Out crowd it's an affirmation of incompetence.
- There is always time for a chat for the Innies including the personal subjects, where the Outies are welcomed on an as needs basis and strictly confined to the non-social work related topics.
- Suggestions are welcome from the In crowd and tolerated or paid lip service to from the Out crowd
- Praise rains heavily on the In crowd whilst the Out crowd experiences a recognition drought.
These are all pretty dramatic behaviours from leaders, but they really are quite common and I believe most commonly delivered without malice.
So how do we connect this to being set up for failure?
Before a relationship begins, a manager may have preconceived ideas of the character and performance of a subordinate. A manager, as we all do, will form an opinion on a new subordinates' capability and capacity based on their immediate impressions, their unconscious bias, and any information on previous performance that may be communicated from their previous manager. As it is in all other areas of our life, we go about finding information we need to support our beliefs and blocking out information that contradicts them.
Of course, it is those who fall into the Out crowd who are most susceptible to this syndrome. Their performance is always subject to the rigors of preconceived perceptions and so even when their performance is strong, it is seen as an anomaly. Take for example the case of an employee who may have been counselled in the past for arriving late on occasions. If this information is passed on to their new manager, then the new manager will be on the lookout for this behavior. They may be the first to arrive at work every day for a month, but the one day they are 5 minutes late will be the day their performance is judged on. It is on this day they will affirm their manager's expectations and beliefs. A manager's inclination will then be to manage that person more closely based on eroded trust. A lack of trust is a sure way to lower employee engagement. As employee engagement drops, so does interest and desire and it's likely this employee will begin to arrive later or even slip right back into old habits, further affirming the manager's belief. And so the downward spiral goes. This behavioural cycle can be applied to endless other performance scenarios.
The syndrome is a costly business
In this case there is serious cost to the subordinate, the manager and the organisation.
- The organisation fails to get the value from disengaged employees.
- There is an emotional cost to the subordinate which also results in disengagement which then means the organisation is failing to get even the minimum value from the employee.
- It's difficult for a manager to keep up the Mr. Nice Guy act that's skin deep and is a significant distraction from the main game.
- "A lack of faith in perceived weaker performers can tempt bosses to overload those whom they consider superior performers: bosses want to entrust critical assignments to those who can be counted on to deliver reliably and quickly and to those who will go beyond the call of duty because of their strong sense of share fate." HBR Page 62
In other words, you burn out your best at the expense of the underperformers.
- And there is little that people love more than to tell you about what's going wrong at work and whose fault it is, so you can bet there is some real water cooler gossip action underway and it's not boosting team morale.
So what can you do?
Like all of these improvement opportunities, first things first, you need to know there is an opportunity. So it's time for a little soul searching. What's difficult is we all need to accept the part we play in order to break the cycle.
If you recognise this cycle, then it's a matter of breaking through it with a carefully planned and challenging conversation.
Conducted on neutral territory, the conversation should not be couched as feedback, but rather as an opportunity to discuss performance and the relationship between the boss and subordinate.
You need agree on what is causing the relationship challenges and tension. Firstly you acknowledge that a tension exists and identify and agree on the symptoms that signify the tension.
It is important to agree on performance expectations. This is best done by reaching a shared understanding of the desirable performance outcomes.
Lastly, the boss and subordinate need to agree to have the relationship move forward positively and to open up regular communication.
Love to hear your comments about your experiences.

There are a lot of Obama attack sites and blogs out there.
But I recently came across one of the worst examples I've ever seen: DontVoteObama.net.
The link was actually posted in a comment attacking Jill over at WLST by someone claiming to be a Democrat angry at Obama.
Hardly seems likely though given that this site presents false, misleading and outwardly racist material related to Obama.
I already wrote a letter to their hosting company, but I urge you to go to their blog – which is hosted by Blogspot – and click the "Flag As Objectionable" button at the top.
This will notify blogspot that there is nasty, racist crap so they can investigate.

Obviously it's not run by a Democrat. But how do you know it's run by an Alan Keyes supporter?
This goes around peddling the same baseless lies that go circulating in emails that my parents, aunts, and uncles get. I think ME says that because of the "Minority Rights" anti-abortion image in the left column.
Sadly, people are entitled to this kind of speech – it's hard to see where this stops being peddling lies and turns into being hate-inciting speech, though.

First, let's all agree that this blog should be banned on formatting issues alone. Somewhere buried at the bottom when the author is talking about how he isn't racist he mentiones that he has said in former posts that he was a Keyes supporter in his Senate race against Obama.
And because he keeps bring upon Alan Keyes, too.
So that's why.
You're right about it being a difficult line to define.
But jeez, this guy even lies about himself:
As a voting registered Democrat, I have to admit that a much wiser choice for the historic position of the First Black President of the United States of America would have been Alan Keyes.
There is NO WAY in hell a Democrat would publish this crap OR push for Alan Keyes as a candidate.
Yes, the formatting is horrible.
Maybe even worse that http://www.ironmyvote.com/ – which also claims to be run by Democrats who want readers to vote for McCain if Hillary is the nominee.
[Eric: LOL. This was caught in spam.]
I think he may be a Strom Thurmond Dixiecrat.
My fellow Americans …
It's time to start voting the Obama super delegates out of office.
Obama's proposal of CHANGE requires sound judgement to determine which things should change, and which things should be kept, cherished and embraced. Unfortunately Obama and his left wing supporters want to throw out the baby with the dirty bath water. They have no appreciation of U.S. history, or the blood, sweat, and sacrifice it's taken to make America the greatest country in the world. They seem to believe that before you can create change, first you must discredit, or destroy everything that's come before. Obama relies on young voters apathy and ignorance of American history and tradition, which makes it easier for them to buy into CHANGE, without any sense of what kind of change is needed. Evidence of this, is Obama supporters embracing his disrespectful alteration of the Presidential seal, to further his personal ambition. Or, Obama's black liberation church discrediting Thomas Jefferson, because of an alleged affair with a black slave. If Obama is elected President, I predict that America's history will be gradually revised, and America will become barely recognizable.
Whenever I post a pro McCain blog on CNN's 'Ask Jack Cafferty' blog, not only do they moderate my blog and reject publishing it … I immediately get 300 to 600 pieces of spam in my mail box.
@12: That's funny!
We don't think anyone should be able to shut down someone's blog..Freedom of speech,right…………

Keyes did not run against Obama for Senate. They are from different states. Someone needs to learn a little about or government.
Maybe it's you who needs to learn more, Don. Obama defeated Keyes in 2004 for a seat in the U.S. Senate.
@16: You are right about being from different states. Keyes was a carpetbagger the GOP recruited to run against Barack. Bottom of the barrel type candidate.
Your welcome! That is for me breathing life into your DEAD BLOG!
Yes. You should have SEEN that traffic spike you gave us! LOL.
P. Springer is an idiot! He talks about how bad dontvoteobama.NET is and then posts contact information on the owner of dontvoteobama.COM. As a thank you I have directed dontvoteobama.COM to go to dontvoteobama.NET! My site was very tame by comparison so enjoy your mistake.
I'd seriously recommend you stay out of this, Mr. Clark.
I was out of this until my information about my domain ( dontvoteobama.com)was posted as being responsible for what is written at dontvoteobama.net! Check to see who got me into it before telling me to stay out.
We did not post it. Someone included it in a comment. It's public information. Anyone can find it.
If you want to have your name permanently associated with the racism and lies of dontvoteobama.net then be my guest.
You may not have posted it but you did not stop it from being posted even though my information had nothing to do with dontvoteobama.net. I am assuming that you have some control over your blog's content.

I cannot believe you guys are playing the racism card. Do you know how many black people I have seen that are voting for Obama just because he is black and claim that anyone that doesn't think he is the best choice is a racist?
This is completely ridiculous. Maybe if Obama would pitch himself as an American instead of a black American or the product of civil rights struggles and tell the truth he would not fall victim to the few racists out there. If he wants to present himself as a black american instead of just america hell get what he deserves.
I have hispanic blood but I am not hispanic. Obama is not black. McCain is not white. We are all simple AMERICANS.
So if Obama wants to avoid the racism he maybe shouldnt have been a part of it through his church and speeches.
Thanks for the comment Victor. Pointing out clear racist attacks as well as less clear dog whistling is hardly "playing the race card".
If you'd do some research you'd find out that Barack Obama almost NEVER pitches himself as a black American. That doesn't mean he ignores the reality of becoming the first black President and how hard that is given the number of people that still choose to prejudice others based on their race.
I'm certain Obama makes reference to being black less than McCain references being a POW.
Get what he deserves? WTF does that mean? If he embraces his being of mixed racial heritage he deserves to have the racists attack him? That's some kind of rationalization from a Hispanic American.
You are blind to the reality of the situation. Obama is most certainly "black". McCain is most certainly "white". Ignoring the issue certainly won't make it go away. No matter how much you look away, the elephant is indeed still in the room with you.
Your church/speech comment makes no sense. You assume his personal church activity and his speeches somehow either WERE racist or invited it. I don't get it.
I'm left pretty unconvinced in your arguments. I do appreciate you commenting on the site, though.
Say 'NO' to CRA
Thanks for the link.
It's in my favorites now.
dontvoteobama.net is a great website that keeps us accurately informed about what hussein is doing. he is a sleaze!
I prefer to look at http://www.meredithisawingnutjerk.com
He never uses the race card…ummmmm almost everyday he says "they're going to say my name is funny and oh yeah and did I mention he's black." Sounds like someone is using the race card to me.
would anyone here allow a first year law student to represent them in court for murder? I don't know anyone who would, so why would we want to vote Barak to represent us as a nation to the world? I'm just trying to be logical in my decision and am looking for other logical voices to help me see. i've looked at his record, and anything that could be used against him was a no vote. what has he accomplished? i cannot find anything on that subject. please, help me find the truth. facts, not opinions would be great!
Have you heard of freedom of speech?
well, since my link DID NOT, according to you, bring traffic TO YOUR BLOG (even though your posts to this blog has tripled since then) i took it down. Its been fun.
has anyone noticed that Obama is taking over exactly like Hitler did. Through the bad economy. Next I bet he will try to get emergency powers, such as complete control of the military. If he does than everyone on the RIGHT side better protest and don't let THEM silence you because its what happens in these next few years that will decide the fate of America. If a 14 year old can see whats going on than there are some pretty stupid adults out there.
@34: Fun indeed. Laters.
Douglas Allen Hardman
So are you saying that you are trying to get a blog banned and erased from the internet becuase it's racist and hateful? As Americans we have the right to be angry and pissed off at whatever the hell we want to. If something pisses you off your allowed to tell everyone that you want to and say ANYTHING you want about it. I believe that America is the best country because of the fact that if you want to be racist, you can. If you want to be a Neo-Nazi you can. If you want to hate everything that America is, you have the right to. Your mad because someone has the right to attack someone and be angry at them. What do you want, something like China where if you weren't at Tiananmen Square you don't know anything about it and it isn't in any history books or in the internet. Do you want a world like in the movie V for Vendetta where people give up their rights to live in peace and harmony? As long as America is a free country you have the right to hate, dissent, harrass, fight, disaprove anyhting you want to and shouldn't have to worry about people shutting you down because you expressed what you believed.

Selected Attraction
Stołowe Mountains
Not very high, suitable for a one-day trip or for a longer march, Stołowe Mountains can show us the unique views. The name "Stołowe" means "table" and connects with their specific shape - it is longitudinal and flat. The mountains were formed over 30 mln years ago and they are of the part of Sudety - one of the oldest mountains in Europe. Partly covered by the forest, The Stołowe mountains offer amazing routes, leading through the natural labyrynths of trees and rocks. One of the most interesting ways goes to the highest peak - Szczeliniec Wielki, another popular is called Błedne Skały (Errant Rocks) and guides you among strangely formed rocks of different size, shape and individual name.

Lent 3
March 19, 2017 Speaker: Murray Keith Series: Lent
Passage: Mark 7:14–7:23

†††In the Name of Jesus†††
Pastor Murray Keith
Text: Romans 5:1-8
Date: March 19th; Lent 3; Series A
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
In our Epistle lesson this morning we heard a word that is of utmost importance for our lives as Christians - and that word is "justified".
In fact, this word is so important for our lives as Christians, that it was the key issue in the Reformation of the Church.
In his letter to the Romans, St. Paul said, "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1).
We have been justified by faith. What does this mean?
Well, because of the sinful nature that we are born with - we are unjust. We don't live our lives according to God's will.
We don't keep God first in our lives, but replace him with ourselves and our own selfish desires.
We don't love our neighbour as ourselves, but we are turned inward and our inclination is to "look out for number one!"
Jesus gives a clear diagnosis of how truly unjust we are when he said, "For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person" (Mark 7:21-23).
I know this isn't much fun to talk about, but it is necessary if we are to fully understand what it means to be "justified".
We are sinners. We are unjust.
Because of our sinful nature, and the sinful things we do, we stand guilty before God and we deserve to hear him speak to us words of condemnation and punishment.
But instead, because God is merciful and gracious, because God loves you - he says, "You're justified."
He declares you, "Not guilty!''
To be justified means that you are declared innocent.
To be justified means that you are set free from your sin and the punishment it deserves.
And, as we heard in our reading from Romans, being justified not only means that you escape from God's wrath, but it also means that your relationship with God is reconciled. It is restored.
Again, St. Paul said, "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God" (Romans 5:1-2).
As God's justified and redeemed people we not only escape the eternal punishment we deserve, but because of what Christ Jesus accomplished for us - we have peace with God. We have joy. We have certain hope.
Now, being justified certainly doesn't mean that everything is going to be rosy in this life.
We are going to continue in our struggle with sin and we are going to fail.
We are going to continue to suffer hardships in our lives - maybe financial struggles, pain in our relationships, injuries and illnesses, the devastation of death.
But St. Paul reminds us that as God's people, "…we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us" (Romans 5:3-5).
We are able to have joy, peace, and hope in the midst of our sufferings because we know that God has given us victory over them.
He has promised to see us through our sufferings. They are temporary. And it is for this reason that we are able to rejoice - even when we face difficulties.
This is the Good News of what it means to be justified!
And St. Paul also shares with us in his letter to the Romans how it is that we are justified.
We are justified - by faith.
In the letter to the Hebrews we learn that, "…faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).
Faith is a gift from God, a gift given through the Holy Spirit, that receives all that Christ accomplished for you.
You are justified by faith.
But sometimes it doesn't feel like or look that way in our lives, does it?
We are tempted to believe that we have to straighten things out and get our act together before we can be justified before God.
But the truth is we can't.
We can never be good enough or do enough to justify ourselves before God.
We can't clean ourselves up to the point where we become strong enough, or worthy enough, or godly enough to earn our justification.
In fact, St. Paul tells us that it is while we were still weak that Christ died for the ungodly.
It is while we were still weak that Christ died for you and me.
Jesus died for you and declares to you, "You are not guilty. You are innocent. You are holy and righteous. You and I are reconciled. Your relationship with me is restored."
Faith believes and receives God's promise. Faith trusts his Word.
Hear again some of the greatest words in the entire Bible, "God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
The whole point of Jesus' coming into this world to live a perfect life, to suffer and die on the cross, to rise from his grave - was to bring us reconciliation. To bring peace between God and you. To justify you.
It's a fact that life on this planet is not always easy for us.
We have health issues that bring us pain and worry. We worry over our loved ones. We feel stress over money and how we are going to survive. We experience fear and anxiety as we see what is going on in the world around us.
But we can deal with the stuff that life throws at us because God has given us a great hope for our future - in this life and for the life that is to come.
The hope that God has given us for what's ahead changes our perspective as we endure sorrow, suffering, and pain in this life.
And hope here is not the same as hoping that the weather is going to warm this spring, or hoping that the Saskatchewan Roughriders are going to win the Grey Cup this year.
The hope that God has given us is a certain hope that is grounded in faith. It is the grace in which we stand.
When Paul says we have hope, it's a sure and certain thing!
God made your justification certain when he claimed you in the waters of your Baptism.
He strengthens you in your faith and in your Christian life as he feeds you with his true body and true blood.
We are justified by faith.
I mentioned at the beginning of the sermon that the word justified was the key issue for the Reformation.
And as we celebrate this year the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation, it continues to be the key issue for the Church today.
In fact, it is often said that the truth of justification by faith is the article on which the Church either stands or falls.
We stand on the truth that in Christ we are reconciled with God.
We stand on the truth that we are justified by faith.
And because we are justified by faith, we have the sure and certain hope that our sins are forgiven, that we have peace with God, and that we have the gift of eternal life. Amen.
The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus unto life everlasting. Amen.

The ACT® at a Glance
Like the SAT, the ACT is a nationally administered, standardized paper-and-pencil test that helps colleges evaluate candidates. Colleges now accept your ACT or SAT scores interchangeably. This means that you have the opportunity to decide on which test you'll perform better. And in many cases, students prepare for and take both exams.
Generally, you'll take the ACT for the first time in the spring of your junior year. This allows you to reserve the summer months for college applications or enough time to re-take the test during the fall of your senior year if you're not satisfied with your score.
The Anatomy of the ACT
How long is the ACT test? Without the optional Writing Test, the ACT exam lasts 2 hours and 55 minutes, or 3 hours and 25 minutes with the Writing Test. The order of test sections and the total number of questions covered in each test section never changes:
|Question Type
|45 Minutes
|40 Usage/Mechanics Questions
35 Rhetorical Skills Questions
|60 Minutes
|14 Pre-Algebra Questions
10 Elementary Algebra Questions
9 Intermediate Algebra Questions
9 Coordinate Geometry Questions
14 Plane Geometry Questions
4 Trigonometry Questions
|35 Minutes
|10 Social Studies Questions
10 Natural Sciences Questions
10 Literary Narrative or Prose Fiction Questions
10 Humanities Questions
|35 Minutes
|15 Data Representation Questions
18 Research Summary Questions
7 Conflicting Viewpoint Questions
|Writing Test
|30 Minutes
|You write in response to a question about your position on an issue
The ACT English Test
On the ACT English Test, you'll have 45 minutes to answer 75 questions—that's about 30 seconds per question! The test is divided into 5 passages, each with about 15 questions.
You're not being tested on spelling or vocabulary. Rather, the ACT English Test is designed to assess your understanding of the conventions of English—punctuation, grammar, sentence structure—and of rhetorical skills. Rhetorical skills are more strategic including things like organizing the text and making sure it's styled clearly.
|Question Types
|45 Minutes
|40 Usage/Mechanics Questions
35 Rhetorical Skills Questions
ACT English Question Format
Almost all of the English questions follow a standard format. A word, phrase, or sentence in a passage is underlined. You're given 4 options: to leave the underlined portion alone ("NO CHANGE," which is always the first choice), or to replace it with one of the three alternatives.
Some English questions don't follow the standard format—usually about 10 per exam. These items pose a question and offer four possible responses. In many cases, the responses are either "yes" or "no," with an explanation.
Many of the nonstandard questions occur at the end of a passage. Some ask about the meaning, purpose, or tone of individual paragraphs or of the passage as a whole. Others ask you to evaluate the passage. And still others ask you to determine the proper order of words, sentences, or paragraphs that have been scrambled in the passage.
The ACT Math Section
On the ACT Math Test, you'll have 60 minutes to answer 60 questions—that's 1 minute per question! Questions include Pre-Algebra, Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, Coordinate and Plane Geometry, and Trigonometry.
|Question Types
|60 Minutes
|14 Pre-Algebra Questions
10 Elementary Algebra Questions
9 Intermediate Algebra Questions
9 Coordinate Geometry Questions
14 Plane Geometry Questions
4 Trigonometry Questions
ACT Math Question Format
All of the Math questions follow the same basic, multiple-choice format. They ask a question and offer 5 possible answer choices. The questions cover a full range of math topics, from pre-algebra and elementary algebra through intermediate algebra and coordinate geometry, to plane geometry and even a little bit of trig.
Although the Math questions, like those in other sections, are not ordered in terms of difficulty, questions drawn from elementary school or junior high tend to come earlier in the section. This doesn't necessarily mean that the easier questions are first.
We've found that students perform better on the material that's freshest in their minds.; Do you remember the math you learned in 7th grade?
The ACT Reading Section
On the ACT Reading section, you'll be tested on Social Studies, Natural Sciences, Literary Narrative or Prose Fiction and Humanities. You'll have 35 minutes to answer 40 questions—that's about 50 seconds per question! The section contains four passages, each followed by 10 questions.
|Question Types
|35 Minutes
|10 Social Studies Questions
10 Natural Sciences Questions
10 Literary Narrative or Prose Fiction Questions
10 Humanities Questions
ACT Reading Question Format
There are four categories of reading passages: Social Studies, Natural Sciences, Humanities, and Literary Narrative or Prose Fiction. You'll get one passage in each category. The passages are about 1,000 words long and are written at about the same difficulty level as college textbooks. After each passage, you'll find 10 questions.
The Social Studies, Natural Sciences, and Humanities passages are usually well-organized essays, each with a specific theme. Questions—including Specific Detail, Inference, and Big Picture questions—expect you to recognize the theme, to comprehend specific facts, and to understand the structure of the essay. Literary Narrative or Prose Fiction passages require you to understand the thoughts, feelings, and motivations of fictional characters, even when these are not explicitly stated in the passage.
The ACT Science Section
On the ACT Science Test, you'll be given passages containing various kinds of scientific information—drawn from the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, geology, astronomy, and meteorology—which you'll have to understand and use as a basis for inferences. You'll have 35 minutes to answer 40 questions—that's about 50 seconds per question! The section contains seven passages, each followed by 5-7 questions.
|Question Types
|35 Minutes
|10 Social Studies Questions
10 Natural Sciences Questions
10 Literary Narrative or Prose Fiction Questions
10 Humanities Questions
ACT Science Question Format
Usually there are six passages that present scientific data, often based on specific experiments. Also, there's usually one passage in which two scientists state opposing views on the same issue. Each passage is followed by 5-7 questions. A warning: some passages will be very difficult to understand, but they'll usually make up for that fact by having many easy questions attached to them. The test makers do show some mercy once in a while.
The ACT Writing Section
The optional ACT Writing Test is 30 minutes long, includes one essay, and is always the last section of the test. You'll be given a topic or an issue and expected to take a position on it, supporting your point of view with examples and evidence.
|Question Types
|30 Minutes
|You write in response to a question about your position on an issue
You don't have to be a great creative writer to succeed on the ACT Writing Test. You just have to show that you can focus on an issue and argue your point of view in a coherent, direct way with concrete examples. Furthermore, essay graders are not primarily concerned with your grammar and punctuation skills. In terms of ACT Writing, clarity is what they're looking for.
The biggest challenge of the ACT Writing Test is the time frame. With only 30 minutes to read the issue, plan your response, draft the essay, and proofread it, you have to work quickly and efficiently. Coming up with a plan and sticking with it is key to success.
ACT Writing Test Format
The ACT Writing Test consists of one prompt that lays out the issue and gives directions for your response. There are no choices of topic; you have to respond to the topic that's given. But don't worry; test makers craft topics that are relevant to high school students and about which you can be expected to have a point of view.
Your ACT Score
Some of the most common questions we get from students and parents are: "What does this ACT score mean?" and "What is a good ACT score?"
Each of the four multiple-choice ACT test sections (English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science) is scored on a scale of 1-36. You will also receive a composite score, which is the average of your four test scores (1-36).
Your score report also includes national rankings where you can compare your performance against students across the country. For instance, if you ranked in the 90th percentile on the Mathematics Test, you did better than 89 percent of other students, while 10 percent fared better than you.
If you take the Writing Test, you will receive a Writing Test subscore (ranging from 0 to 12) and a combined English/Writing score (ranging from 1 to 36), along with comments about your essay.
Keep in mind that you must take both the English and Writing Tests to receive Writing scores. The Combined English/Writing score is created by using a formula that weights the English Test score two-thirds and the Writing Test score one-third to form a combined score. This combined score is then reported on a 1-36 scale.
Not all schools use the Writing Test score in the same way. Some elite schools that have traditionally required the SAT Writing Subject Test are using the ACT Writing Test as a formal piece of the admissions process.
Other schools have indicated that they will look at Writing Test scores, but that they will not give them much, if any, consideration. These schools are primarily trying to get an understanding of the scores in conjunction with their applications.
A third group of schools is still on the fence and is waiting for more information to become available before making a decision.
On the ACT website you can search for Writing Test requirements by school. As you refine your target school list based on your scores, you should reconfirm with each school to determine how they will be using your Writing score.
Receiving Your ACT Score
Most ACT scores are available online within 2 ½ weeks after each national test date. This service allows you to view your scores before your official score report arrives by mail. (Score reports for those testing outside the U.S. are not available online).
The ACT website offers a complete listing of score availability dates.
Score reports are usually mailed to your home within 4 to 7 weeks after each test date. If you took the Writing Test, your score report will be mailed only after your Writing scores are available.
What's a Good ACT Score?
|Test Section
|Class of 2007
|Class of 2008
|Total Composite
Taking the ACT More Than Once
If you aren't happy with your score, don't despair! Most students take the ACT officially more than once, and some even take it three times! Use the information in your score report to help you understand your strengths and weaknesses and to hone your preparation for your next ACT. And remember that with the ACT, you decide which scores are sent to colleges.
Keep in mind that you cannot combine scores from different test dates to create your best composite score, and you cannot report only your Writing scores (or only your multiple-choice scores) from a test date. All scores from a test date will be reported together.

The new fine point jaws are set at a shallower 30° angle which will spin more smoothly than the current 45° design while still providing excellent access for small stuff, tying around the bend, and pinching material onto the hook. In addition these new jaws project further from the front hub creating a more comfortable placement of your left hand for precise material positioning.
Attachment is quick and easy, simply remove the straight (in-line) jaws held in place with a set screw in the front brass hub, and replace them with the new Fine Point system. Alignment up/down is with the pivot screw on the jaw support arm, and side to side with a set screw at the back of the jaws. Normally not very much adjustment is need unless there is a dramatic change in hook size.

Nefeli Piree Iliou (Greece/Germany)
I am a Mediterranean archaeologist with a regional focus on Greece and the Aegean Islands. Born in Athens, Greece and raised in New York City, I completed my undergraduate degree in Ancient History and Archaeology with a minor concentration in Art History at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. My dissertation focused on the socio-political transformations of Late Bronze Age Attica through an analysis of the region's tholos (or bee-hive) tombs.
At Oxford I plan to expand my background of Mediterranean archaeology by filling in gaps in my knowledge, specifically of Roman Imperial times, and to delve deeper into Aegean island archaeology and diachronic networks of interactions from later prehistory into history. My interest in island archaeology grew out of my participation on prehistoric excavations at the islands of Limnos (Palaeolithic site) and Salamis (Mycenaean settlement). More recently, along with Professor Rebecca Sweetman I co-authored a paper on the Christianization of The Cyclades in the Late Antique Period. My research interests further include issues of identity during exchange, landscape archaeology and the application of recording technologies to fieldwork, such as GIS and photogrammetry. I was fortunate to develop these interests during my involvement in numerous archaeological projects in Greece and in Italy, including the Mazi Archaeological Survey (MAP) where I worked on survey pottery and finds photography and the Cambridge Keros Project where I headed the lab-based photogrammetry team for the Early Bronze Age settlement on the islet of Dhaskalio. I also served as Assistant Field Supervisor at the excavations of the Hellenistic to Roman city of Ancient Messene, developing an interest in archaeological site management and archaeotourism. In the past I worked in exhibition development and the organization of an international conference on Prehistoric Attica at the Benaki and Cycladic museums in Athens, respectively.
In my free time I enjoy travelling and swimming, attending theatrical performances and museum exhibitions, and going to the cinema. I am also an amateur photographer.
It is an immense privilege, honour and joy to be a member of the Ertegun community. I am incredibly grateful to Mica Ertegun and the late Ahmet Ertegun for this extraordinary gift. I cannot imagine a better environment to begin my graduate studies than working in a home that fosters the exchange of ideas with such an inspiring group of scholars.

Grim Muerto Slot
We can kick things off here in this review with a simple statement – Grim Muerto is one of our favourite Play'n Go mobile slots! We have played it on many different occasions in the past and the unique theme, together with impressively solid gameplay, ensures that we are never worried about coming back for more. It is based around the Day of the Dead, so while everyone on the board has seemingly passed on, they do not seem to be all that worried about it, preferring instead to celebrate the fact. We do not think that we will ever be saying that again about any other mobile slot for as long as we are putting out reviews, but that is a big part of what makes this game so special.
Play Here
What to Expect
There are twenty lines and five reels on Grim Muerto and they are all absolutely packed with zany skeleton characters, and the rather less impressive playing card icons. The wild action starts from the moment you get spinning, with the guitar symbol serving as the wild card at all times on the game. You do need to land it, of course, but one reel is also boosted up by being highlighted in gold. That does not do a lot in its own right, but if you manage to land a standard guitar wild on the selected reel as part of the spin, it will expand to cover that reel completely.
The book symbol is the main scatter and its effect is the only one that the guitar cannot replicate. It lands only on reels one, three and five and players will be looking to land one on each in order to grab themselves ten free spins. If you only land two of them, you will be able to choose one of four members of the skeletal band. One draws a blank, while two of them offer up minor cash prizes. The other is hiding away the third scatter that is required for the free spins bonus to come into play.
However, you get there, those ten spins will be the initial reward, although landing the newly added candle symbol will lead to three more spins being added to the remaining total. One of the main characters will be chosen to serve as an additional wild for the duration of the bonus, and the golden reels are no longer limited to just one. instead, between two and five reels will be highlighted in this manner, leading to the rare but true possibility of a full board of wild cards before your assigned spins expire!
The MobileCasino.net Verdict
As with many of the best mobile slots out there, Grim Muerto takes familiar concepts and puts them together in a way that players are unlikely to have seen before. It adds up to a cracking game – we have already said how much we enjoy it and we are confident that our readers will too, so be sure to check it out next time you're playing on your mobile device of choice!

Easter recipe – mini egg fudge
Posted 4th April 2017 04:26pm by Francesca Taffs
We LOVE Easter primarily because you get to eat mountains of chocolate and no-one will judge you!
With that in mind, we thought we'd share this recipe from Frantaffstic Bakes for mini egg fudge. It's a gorgeously indulgent recipe and would be perfect for you to make and serve at your Easter Free Range Friday event on Good Friday, if you're holding one. Fran Taffs, who runs the blog (and also works for us!), is holding her own event so we're looking forward to seeing what other Easter treats she whips up! You can find more recipe inspiration on her blog.
Free Range Friday is all about exchanging yummy treats for a donation towards the charity which will help us save more hens from slaughter. Easter is the perfect time to whip lots of chocolate-based goodies using your hens' spare eggs! If, however, you don't eat eggs for whatever reason then this is a great alternative.
Enjoy, and please do send us your photos if you choose to whip up a batch!
397g can of condensed milk
25g butter
400g white chocolate
100g icing sugar
360g Cadbury mini eggs, bashed into bits (some can remain whole)
1tsp vanilla extract
- Line a 23cm squared tin (I just lined the base and it came out fine)
- Stick the condensed milk, chocolate, butter and vanilla extract into a large pan and melt together on a low heat, keeping a close eye so the chocolate doesn't stick.
- Sift in the icing sugar and beat to combine.
- Leave the mixture to cool for around five minutes but make sure you stir in every minute or so to stop a skin forming.
- Mix in 3/4 of the mini eggs and pour the whole lot into your tin. Spread the remaining eggs over the top and press them into the fudge.
- Pop the tin in the fridge and leave for about three hours before cutting the lot into little (or large!) squares. This is one the hardest bits so make sure you've got a super sharp knife. Put the fudge back in the fridge until completely set.

Text message marketing is all the rage right now. Plenty of businesses are investing in this unexpected marketing channel – and that's because text messages work. In this day and age, consumers treat smartphones as extensions of themselves and always keep them within reach. Mobile interactions are very personal and easily boost consumer engagement with the brand or product.
Another critical feature of SMS marketing is its immediacy. All it takes is hearing the beep of a notification and a quick glance at the screen to get the message. One study suggests a smashing 98% open rate for texts. And that's not the end of it. More than a third of recipients positively responds to calls-to-action included in these messages.
One way to add instant value to your SMS marketing messages is including a URL to specific online content, for instance a landing page for your new product. That's where you should consider shortening your URL.
There are at least a few benefits of shortening your URLs for SMS marketing (we'll get to a list of the best URL shorteners a bit later).
1. You gain extra space
Adding a long URL reduces the number of characters available for your message. Since an SMS can contain up to 160 characters, every single one counts a lot. You need to make the most out of this space and shortening your URL is an excellent idea.
With a URL shortening tool, you can limit your URL to 12 characters to gain back lots of valuable space for your marketing messaging and successfully persuade recipients to follow your calls-to-action.
2. Speed of response
SMS marketing is characterized by a really fast response rate – you can practically trace the response to your messaging as it unfolds. Doing this, you'll be able to make quick decisions and boost your click-through results.
A shortened URL can be moved from the top to the middle and bottom of the message – experiment with its structure and count in other factors to develop a strategy that works for your target.
3. Improved reporting
Adding a shortened URL to your message, you'll be able to develop an individual code for each message sent to an individual number. This is of immense value for reporting – you can easily see who opens your messages and clicks through to the targeted URL. Most analytics tools will also show you how they're accessing this URL too.
4. Boost in campaign agility
With a wealth of tracking data at your disposal, you'll be able to closely monitor your campaign and retarget it in a matter of minutes. If your click-through rates are lower than expected, analyze possible reasons for that and experiment with different message formats. If they are high, you'll have solid proof that your message resonates with your target.
5. This type of marketing has a future
Since technology develops at an increasing pace, it's hard for businesses to stay on the leading edge of innovation. Still, it's clear that we're moving towards solutions that allow brands to interact with consumers on a personal level. Personalization of marketing messaging is a strong trend and brands are likely to capitalize on SMS marketing with its connection to the online world via smart shortened URLs.
Best URL Shorteners
Now that you know that shortening your URLs is a good idea, here are some of the best URL shorteners to help you tailor your SMS marketing campaign to make the most from it.
All these tools allow you to track the number of recipients who click on the link and are compatible with both iOS and Android.
Use them to shorten your URLs and deliver SMS marketing messaging that resonates with your audience and boasts a high click-through rate, helping your brand to grow in its niche.

TUPELO, Mississippi (Reuters) - The mother and wife of the prime suspect in the kidnapping of a Tennessee family have been also been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping, officials said on Tuesday.
Two members of the Tennessee family - the mother and one daughter - have been found dead and two other daughters were missing and presumed held by Adam Mayes, who remained at large and was considered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to be armed and dangerous.
Adam Mayes' wife, Teresa Mayes, and mother, Mary Mayes, were jailed at Hardeman County Jail in Tennessee, Circuit Court Clerk Linda Fulghum said.
Teresa Mayes, 31, was charged with four counts of especially aggravated kidnapping and held on a $500,000 bond, Fulghum said. Mary Mayes, 65, was charged with four counts of conspiracy to commit especially aggravated kidnapping and held on $300,000 bond, the clerk said.
Two bodies found last weekend behind Mayes' Mississippi residence were identified as a Tennessee mother and one of her three daughters, the FBI said Monday.
The medical examiner in Memphis confirmed the bodies found behind Mayes' barn in Guntown, Mississippi, were those of Jo Ann Bain, 31, and Adrienne Bain, 14, according to the FBI.
Bain's other two daughters, Alexandria, 12, and Kyliyah, 8 - taken along with their mother and older sister from their home in rural Hardeman County in western Tennessee - were believed to still be with Mayes, the FBI said on Monday night.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said it is believed Mayes has changed his appearance and that he may have altered the appearances of his victims, perhaps by cutting and dying their hair.
Bain's husband reported the four missing from their rural Tennessee home April 27. Mayes, described as a friend of the family who was at their home to help them move to Arizona, was quickly identified as a suspect.
Mayes was last seen in Guntown, north of Tupelo, last Tuesday, according to the FBI.

The insanity of the collective egoic mind is rapidly taking our species to the brink of disaster. Evolve or die: that is our only choice now. Eckhart Tolle
In this short video, I describe the devastation when ego takes over intentions. I gave this talk just as Rupert Murdoch's media scandals were coming to light. This and the inability of politicians to work together are two current examples of ego run amok. In the video, I share a light hearted battle with ego as well. When we remember that we belong to each other, our intentions will set the world back on a healthy path.

On my recent trip to Sephora, I picked up a mini bottle of the Josie Maran Argan Oil for part of my best friend's birthday gift. When I checked out, I received my birthday gift from being a SEPHORA Beauty Insider......and I'm so excited to try out the two new products.
The first gift is the benefit They're Real! Mascara -- the bottle is quite compact, and the wand looks amazingly crisp. I think this mascara will be the perfect fit for my purse!
The second item in the birthday package is the benefit Watt's Up! Highlighter. It functions almost like a lipstick and gives off a very light golden shimmer - the perfect color for highlighting the top of your cheekbones...and maybe even under the brow bone.
I'm so happy with my surprise birthday gift..my birthday isn't until next month!!
