6/20/2023 0 Comments Turn up the cheat rachel foster![]() Rachel is not framed as a probable abuse victim, a child who became pregnant by her father's best friend (!), but as a tragic young woman - a star crossed lover, almost. Leonard's chief sin is that he cheated on his wife, and not that he started shagging a 16 year old who he was teaching, for God's sake. The most glaring problem is how The Suicide Of Rachel Foster fails to meaningfully engage with its central themes. Rather than teasing it out, getting a sense of the shape of it, and gradually uncovering more facts, Nicole is spooked out for a few hours, before the actual reveal is dropped all at once in a sticky rush, like so much gunge poured on hapless parents by Dave Benson Phillips. But the pacing of the central mystery is all wrong. The voice actors do a good job of making Nicole and Irving interesting, the former a kind of a caricature of a strong independent bitch who needs no help from nobody (who can blame her?), and the latter a kind of extremely nice nervous dork, the sort of person I'd describe as a wetty. Similarly, you find tools that have a specific purpose (a Polaroid camera that you use when the lights go out, or a parabolic mic to track spooky noises) but each is only used once, in one set piece, and so they end up feeling spare. There are isolated pockets in the building where you busy yourself most often - the apartment, the offices, the basement - but in between are corridors of empty rooms that you can't enter, which might as well be blank space. You, as a player, are one step removed from the uncanniness when creepy things start to happen. The Timberline doesn't, because you don't feel at home in a hotel by definition, even if Nicole does. Gone Home works because you know how to navigate a family home. ![]() ![]() Where Gone Home lead you naturally through the empty house as you discovered new things, The Suicide Of Rachel Foster leads you by the nose, partly because, though the Timberline is a nice vision of gently spoiling grandeur - the Miss Havisham's wedding cake of hotels, but with a bit of The Shining flavour - it's a lot bigger than a house. And there isn't a voiceover telling us that - it's just something to look at and understand. Leonard's thinking had, we can infer, changed over the last decade. But around his bed you find tomes about ghosts, and how to talk to the dead. The apartment where Nicole's dad lived out his mouldering last days in a likewise mouldering hotel, for example, is full of books about physics, the stars, and space. The Suicide Of Rachel Foster is actually really good at that, too. I'll forgive a lot for a mystery where I noodle around an empty building full of sweet, sweet environmental storytelling. Irving is unreasonably invested in Nicole's plight, for reasons you eventually discover. She's not entirely isolated, however, as she has an early mobile phone that lets her speak to Irving, a FEMA agent stationed nearby. Nicole, back at the Timberline to inventorise and sell it after the deaths of both her parents, ends up investigating this piscine odour - this whiff of trout - while she's trapped there for a few days during a snowstorm. So far, so titular - and obviously, there turns out to have been something fishy about Rachel's death. ![]() ![]() It seems she probably died on the same day that Claire and Nicole left. Shortly thereafter Rachel went missing, and was found a few days later at the bottom of a cliff, with a note indicating she had taken her own life. Ten years before the events of the game, Nicole and her mother left suddenly, and never returned, after it was discovered that Leonard was having an affair with the 16-year-old Rachel. They ran the hotel and lived there with the teenaged Nicole, while Leonard was tutoring local girl Rachel Foster, and by all accounts it was a pretty successful set up. You play as Nicole, a grown woman now returning to the Timberline, an old mountain hotel that belonged to her parents, Claire and Leonard. Then, in the last half hour or so, it goes properly off the rails and the content warning is proven necessary. It's a decent enough first person explorey mystery along the lines of Firewatch or Gone Home, but, you know, not as good as either of those. I would have said that about The Suicide Of Rachel Foster too, at least based on the bulk of the game. There are sensible ways to deliver content warnings, and a game signposting that it is extremely serious business in massive white letters on a black background usually means that, in reality, the contents of it are pretty milquetoast. Normally these feel a bit like grandstanding. If you couldn't tell from the title, The Suicide Of Rachel Foster makes sure you know it's about proper issues with one of them big content warning screens up front. ![]()

6/20/2023 0 Comments Just dance 2022 my way![]() Jimin recently left his autograph at the Just Dance Academy and is keeping in contact with the director, a trait that he found commendable. He taught his son patience and how to take responsibility for what he wanted to do making his talent bloom. In the case of Jimin's family, his father was very supportive he never forced his children to do things and always accompanied and waited for Jimin when he went to events, even if they went on until 2 or 3 AM in the morning. The Director's instruction policy is one of guiding students to find and broaden their scope because only parents can change their children. The teacher said he was sure Jimin would pass the audition based on his dancing skills, and it was after he became a trainee that he learned how to sing and perfect it up to now. Jimin majored in contemporary dance and ballet at Busan Arts High School, yet his dream was to be an artist given Jimin's potential as a dancer and ability to keep on moving forward with no hesitation, it was suggested for him to audition for BigHit when they came to Busan and Jimin agreed to do it. Through his experiences with famous popping instructors like Popin' Pete and becoming a BigHit trainee, even going abroad to learn made his experience grow. The teacher gave Jimin advice to experience the best in life, since he had the potential and knew Jimin would broaden his horizons, like joining BigHit, which would be a good fit for him to learn by himself how to be an idol. He was also very popular in Junior High school, especially among older female students, so he had many fans waiting for the lesson to end so that they would see him. He always took the initiative and engaged in play when it was time to have fun with friends. Jimin was also described as an intelligent student with leadership qualities, as he was class president for ten years he would instruct others positively and with a cheerful spirit. This made the teacher wonder about his maturity since he was just an adolescent junior in school. Jimin was also very teachable, making teachers want to gather around him as he had an aura of intelligence and positivity, embodying what he learned as his own. Jimin's growth was gradual while he was talented, it was backed by his hard work and practice, which he bore positively. He practiced a lot, even on Sundays, whether on his own or with an instructor, and whenever he taught him something Jimin absorbed it like a sponge, and the teacher thought, 'a genius really does exist'. While other high school students would play after their exams, Jimin would steal to his teacher's side and say he wanted to practice more street dance which he would learn in lessons at Busan High School of Arts. ![]() Because of his persistent dedication and enjoyment of the process, always with a smile on his face, the other teachers praised him as one who had a talent for dancing. He always learned a dance move until he perfected it while other students would give up or even struggle with it. This was because of his overflowing power and energy, which to maintain was something innate, adding that it was from Jimin's positive personality and sincere feelings towards life that made all possible. The Director emphatically stated that Jimin was evidently different from the thousands of students he had ever taught. Jimin was later invited to the Just Dance Academy, and while there, he was always willing to stand in front and take lessons from the instructor. The Director said that he was impressed by Jimin because whenever he taught a wave or popping technique, he was the only one who showed extraordinary improvement, so he got attracted and asked if he would take the chance to start dancing seriously. These were held once or twice a week, and Jimin was among the twelve boys he had. He started off by saying that they first met when he was a freshman in Junior high this was when he taught the popping class that Jimin's school used to attend for their extracurricular activities. In the exclusive interview released on the 13th of October, the Director of the Just Dance Academy revealed wonderful details about Jimin. In an interview conducted by Yuka Kuwahata for mi-mollet magazine with Kim Ki-Yoon the Director of Jimin's former school the Just Dance Academy, he was described as a genius who absorbed everything like a sponge and had a teachable attitude. ![]() He is able, just like an angel, to deliver beautiful and supple performances, as well as embodying a fierce and powerful aura on stage. BTS' member Jimin who is well-versed and has performed in a wide range of dance genres such as contemporary, ballet, poppin', and hip-hop dance, was praised by Billboard Magazine in 2017 as the " Modern Dance King". ![]() 6/20/2023 0 Comments Memory transient global amnesia![]() ![]() People age 50 and older have a higher risk of transient global amnesia than do younger people. Your sex doesn't seem to affect your risk, either. This is probably because transient global amnesia doesn't represent blood vessel diseases of aging. Interestingly, many studies have found that high blood pressure and high cholesterol - which are closely linked to strokes - are not risk factors for transient global amnesia. Being emotionally upset, perhaps by bad news, conflict or overwork.Medical procedures, such as angiography or endoscopy.While the likelihood of transient global amnesia after these events is very low, some commonly reported events that may trigger it include: ![]() Another possible cause is the overfilling of veins with blood due to some sort of blockage or other problem with the flow of blood (venous congestion). But experts don't understand the factors that contribute to both conditions. There may be a link between transient global amnesia and a history of migraines. The underlying cause of transient global amnesia is unknown. But there's no easy way to tell the difference between transient global amnesia and the life-threatening illnesses that can also cause sudden memory loss. Transient global amnesia isn't dangerous. If the person experiencing memory loss is too confused to call an ambulance, call one yourself. Seek immediate medical attention for anyone who quickly goes from normal awareness of present reality to confusion about what just happened. ![]()

The CQC's director of operations, Deanna Westwood, said: "Over the last few years we have monitored the maternity services at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust closely, and where we have found action is needed this has been made clear so that the trust knows exactly where it must make improvements. Here we are now, all those years later, and with all the help that has gone into supporting this trust, things have got worse not better." ![]() Helen Gittos, who lost her newborn daughter Harriet at the QEQM in 2014, described the findings as "thoroughly damning". The CQC imposed a raft of urgent conditions on the two maternity units earlier this year.

The Care Quality Commission report follows unannounced inspections in January of the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford and the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (QEQM) Hospital in Margate.Įast Kent Hospitals NHS Trust says that staff are "determined to improve services for patients" and that a number of changes have already been made. Inspectors found that vital resuscitation equipment wasn't always easily accessible, day care facilities were "poor" and "chaotic", while some fire exit doors weren’t working properly. The East Kent Hospitals NHS Trust has had its maternity services downgraded to "inadequate" with the health watchdog saying the quality of care has got worse.

That's exactly how your body's going to feel once you're through grooming it. ![]() Go completely au naturale, should you so desire! But if you've plumbed the depths of your psyche and discovered that, yeah, doing a little body grooming sounds like a good plan, you might want to check in with yourself a bit more than you have been.īut don't do it for me. I'm not necessarily saying you should be puritanical about ridding yourself of every little hair you find in the various nooks and crannies of your nooked-and-crannied body. Now, what "on-point" means is different for everyone. Which means even the hair on parts of your body typically covered by (admittedly excellent) clothing when you're out and about in public should be on-point. (In other words, the double-standard members of the opposite sex encounter on a day-to-day basis is very real and very outdated.) But, let's be honest here- as a dude, the bar ain't always set all that high when it comes to exceeding people's expectations in the grooming department. You can grow a decent amount of facial hair and are equally decent at keeping it under control. You recently discovered a new signature scent. At first glance you probably come across as a fairly well-groomed guy, right?

It is anticipated that mergers of associations and MLSs will likely occur over time.ĬRMLS made a strategic decision to act on the dire need for consolidation as part of an intentional shift to prepare for and pursue the future of the MLS in a more proactive manner. The organization is open to partnering with other associations/MLSs in the state as well as consolidating the data. Today, however, there are better and more cost-effective ways to consolidate data.ĬRMLS’s leadership philosophy is that brokers, agents and appraisers are licensed to do business throughout the state and they deserve to have access to the data they need. At its peak, CARETS served a meaningful purpose for 40 MLSs over a decade. This mega data sharing solution went live in 2008 for the founding members, including SoCalMLS, CLAW, CRISNet, CRMLS and i-Tech. In 2006, CARETS began to create a way to share listing data for Southern California brokers and agents. Leadershipĭata-sharing in California progressed substantially during the last decade and one of the early efforts was the California Real Estate Technology Services (CARETS) system. And while the California MLS climate regarding regionalization, consolidation, statewide initiatives, and mergers is volatile and quite active, no other group of REALTOR® associations has accomplished this much thus far. In addition, CRMLS has completed 19 data sharing arrangements with other MLSs, making it possible for more than 81,000 professionals to access data from California markets up and down the state. ![]() The power of CRMLS is rooted in the successful consolidation of MLSs and 35 associations/boards, all of whom are now members of CRMLS. CRMLS inherited the vision for a statewide MLS and was created and continues to operate as a separate and independent entity from C.A.R. This was done in conjunction with a statewide effort from the California Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.) in 2010. The California Regional MLS (CRMLS) is focused on making it possible for all California real estate information to be accessible in one or more databases.ĬRMLS was formed when three existing MLSs merged. Despite joining multiple MLSs, REALROS® still find themselves ill-equipped to provide the best data to their clients, who have borderless access to the information through other sources.

The Spanish vowel space is like most Latin languages, relying on five vowels /a/,/e/,/i/,/o/and /u/. Table 2: Age of Acquisition of Phonemes in Spanish.Note: From Bedore (1999). Check out the following chart depicting the results of numerous studies on the age of acquisition of sounds in Spanish: When speaking strictly of sound class, order of acquisition in Spanish resembles the progression of sound acquisition per class in English. English, on the other hand, does not use the trilled /rr/ or the /ɲ/of Spanish (Quilis, 1999). Spanish lacks the glottal /’/, the voiced affricate /ʤ/ (judge), the voiced /ð/ and unvoiced /θ/ (thigh, thy), the voiced /ž/ and unvoiced /ʃ/ (azure, shy), the /z/, the /ŋ/ (sing), and the flap /ɾ/ (as in butter) (Quilis, 1999). That being said, there are also allophonic or dialectal variations within either language. Universally, stop consonants are acquired first, followed by nasals, then fricatives and affricates, and liquids are the last sounds to appear (Goldstein & Washington, 2001). One of the most important things to know about the acquisition of these sounds is that nearly all of them are emerging by the end of four years of age. See the handy chart below for an illustration of Spanish phonemes. Spanish is more concise in that it has 18 consonant phonemes compared to 26 in English.

We can’t speak for all Jiffy Lubes with certainty. “Not only are those prices not real, but you have to ask where they’re skimping on costs, and it may be that they’re skipping important steps or aren’t using the best supplies.” Does Jiffy Lube use quality oil? “Quick lube centers plays on people’s desire to get a bargain and because people don’t know a lot about oil changes they look for price and brand recognition,” says Randy B. “You don’t want an oil change that’s only $19.99 because just the oil itself - if it’s quality oil - should cost around $25 for about five to seven quarts, and you want the person doing the oil change to be skilled and paid fairly, so there’s nearly no way to do a good job at rock bottom prices,” says Randy B. The customer stories on the site echo many of the issues aired by customers who’ve given some Jiffy Lube service centers an “F” or a one-star review like on BBB or Yelp, sometimes because they are upset about being promised a certain price, but are ultimately charged a significantly higher price at the end of their appointments.Īccording to YourMechanic’s ASE-certified Master Technician Randy B., a deeply discounted oil change may be too good to be true because the supplies alone cost more than the promotional price of $19.99.

Some Jiffy Lube service centers receive rave reviews on sites like BBB and Yelp others are sources of consumer frustration and complaints.

Jiffy Lube coupons offer steep discounts, and some Jiffy Lube locations advertise prices as low as $19.99 for oil changes. Oil changes are one of those tedious errands car owners must check off of their do lists if they want their cars to continue to run well, and the idea that this mundane errand can be taken care of cheaply and quickly by Jiffy Lube may be appealing for busy car owners.
