8 Must Know Tips For Multiple Choice Tests
Multiple choice exams scary some people however given the right approach they can be your best friend. Below I have outlined 8 Must Know Tips For Multiple Choice Tests. If followed crushing your exam should be a piece of cake.
1. Reading the answers first
See if there are any answers hat just stand out. Then read the question. Sometime you can eliminate answers just by simple reasoning.
2. Eliminate answers you know aren't right.
Actually crossing out the answers that aren't correct really helps narrow the answer. Also when going back over your exam you can understand more quickly why you made your choice.
3. If you run out of time. Guess!
If you hit the wall and have no idea what the answer is or if you simply don't have any time left guess.
Note: This only applies if there isn't a guessing penalty.
4.Trust your instincts
Don't keep on changing your answer, usually your first choice is the right one, unless you misread the question.

5. Look for words Not, Isn't, and Least likely
Instructors often phrase questions using negatives for example
Which of the following is least likely to help you be F***ing amazing in college?
c. malevole.com
6. 'All of the above' and 'None of the above'
In a question with an "All of the above" choice, if you see that at least two correct statements, then "All of the above" is probably the answer. In "All of the above" and "None of the above" choices, if you are certain one of the statements is true don't choose "None of the above" or one of the statements are false don't choose "All of the above".
7. Usually the correct answer is the choice with the most information.
Come up with the answer in your head before looking at the possible answers, this way the choices given on the test won't throw you off or trick you. Then look for the answer that seems the most in depth.
Usually your professor wont spend a large amount of time creating a well written wrong answer.
8. Same vs Different
Look for the answer that stands out. If all of the answer are a color and the other is an animal, the animal is likely the obvious wrong choice and can be eliminated or the answer is the correct choice. For example.
The current United States President is from
a. Blue
b. Red
c. Hawaii
d. White
e. All of the above
hint: It isn't all of the above

Homeless staying longer in winter shelters
Fewer vacant beds meant fewer people overall used facilities
Last year, 27 percent of people identified their disability as related to mental health, and Stump said he believes the higher figure this year is more accurate.
"People are either admitting it more or we're doing a better job of screening," Stump said. "If people are talking about it, then we can address it."
Stump said service agencies are trying to create better connections with mental health providers to address the problem regionally, and having more people open to treatment will help fight chronic homelessness.
In other findings in the report, single mothers made up 71 percent of the households in the shelters last winter, the same as the previous year.
In last year's report, 34 percent of females and 4 percent of males said they were victims of domestic violence. This past winter, 37 percent of females and 4 percent of males said they were domestic violence victims.
The reason given for being homeless also has changed in one year. In the 2012-13 report, 30 percent of people said they were homeless because of unemployment, a 15 percent drop from the previous year.
The trend continued this past winter, when 21 percent of people said they were homeless because of unemployment.
Seventeen percent said they were homeless because of family issues, an increase of 7 percent.
For the second year in a row, 10 percent of people cited unemployment/low income as why they were homeless. Two years ago, only 3 percent of people in the shelter cited unemployment/low income as the reason.

Israel's Prime Minister on Sunday defiantly refused to apologise to Turkey for his military's deadly raid last year on a Turkish-led flotilla bent on breaking the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.
But in his first public remarks since Turkey expelled the Israeli ambassador over the affair on Friday, Benjamin Netanyahu expressed Israel's regret for the loss of lives and said he hoped to mend frayed ties with Turkey -- a country that was once Israel's closest ally in the Muslim world.
Ankara had wanted Israel to apologise for the deaths and lift the blockade on Gaza, a Palestinian territory, run by Hamas militants with a long history of deadly violence against Israel.
But Mr. Netanyahu said Israel, in trying to keep arms from reaching Gaza, had nothing to apologise for.
"We don't have to apologise for acting to defend our civilians, our children and our communities," Mr. Netanyahu told government ministers and journalists at the beginning of the weekly Cabinet session.
But he tempered those tough words by telling Turkey that "Israel expresses regret at the loss of life."
"I hope we will find a way to overcome the dispute with Turkey," Mr. Netanyahu said. "Israel never wanted ties with Turkey to deteriorate, and Israel does not now seek a deterioration of ties."
The expulsion of the Israeli envoy from Turkey followed the leaking of a U.N. report that defended the Israeli blockade of Gaza and acknowledged that violent activists on board the blockade—busting Mavi Marmara ship had attacked the raiding naval commandos.
But it also accused Israel of using disproportionate force against the activists and called their deaths "unreasonable."

NEW DELHI: Popular Malayalam actor Mohanlal is starring in the screen adaptation of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen's classic drama 'The Master Builder' directed by veteran filmmaker K P Kumaran.
The movie, titled 'Akashagopuram', is a contemporary Malayalam adaptation of the 1892 drama and is being shot in various locations in London. It is also a tribute to the great playwright on the 100th anniversary of his death.
"It is an unusual movie in an unusual format capturing the trauma and inner conflicts of the protagonist Harvard Solness, an architect," played by Lal, Kumaran said here.
However, Kumaran says the role was a challenge to the national award winning actor. "It was a challenge to him and to everyone else associated with the movie to remake the drama in the changed world."
Akashagopuram boasts of an impressive cast in national award winner Gopi and noted actor Sreenivasan. The movie's music and background score was done by British composer John Altman.
While national award winner Sabu Cyril is the art director, Ajit Kumar takes care of editing and Santhosh Thondiyil will pan the camera.
Kumaran, who started his film career in early seventies as a member of the Chitralekha Film Society and co-scripting their first production Swayamvaram with Adoor Gopalakrishnan, has directed movies like Athithi and Thotram, which has won criticial acclaim.

The last to reach my high od'd on Vicodin
from Alex Ruffin (Ft. Deondre Jones) – Fisticuff (Prod. Nonsense Beats) Lyrics on Genius
A pain reliever, commonly used as a method to get high, famously used by Eminem on his 20-pill-a-day addiction.
Here's a ridiculous amount of Vicodin references in at least 8 of Eminem's songs.
Argue with your wife again, she found Vicodin
Vain Vicodin, vrin vrin vrin!
Vicodin's like a nitrogen hydrogen vitamin
And dropped 2 extra straight rocks and Vicodin out my pocket they cost less
Frightened with five little white Vicodin pills bitin' him
Now I'm popping Vics, Percs and Methadone pills
Say goodbye, here I am again, naked wives and Vicodin
So I take a Vicodin, splash it hits my stomach then, ahhhh

Stats for 1981 USO final (McEnroe-Borg)
View Single Post

Yes, this match does feel very strange. During the 4th set, Borg looked to be more concerned about exiting than actually staying and fighting out a potentially long match. He seemed to be experiencing something bordering on anger, fear, and frustration.
You could see it in his shotmaking, which did make him look like something "alien" or like a "ghost" as Hoodgem mentioned. The death threat stuff is downright scary. In a big stadium like that, in that unique New York environment, with the added "shuffling" and slight chaos, versus say Wimbledon, it would be very distracting quite possibly. If I could ask him, I'd ask about the impact on him of that death threat at the US Open. Was that the "final straw" coupled with his fights with Tour Organizers as far as requiring 10 tournaments a year as a minimum in 1982 and for the foreseeable future?
Perhaps he just said, you know what, I've given enough of myself to this Game if that's how "they'll" treat me. I'm done and have decided to seize my life and take it from tennis. There is a burn out element to it and again, I reiterate, if he could have coupled a layoff with the ability to cut down on his tournament schedule to say 8 tourneys in 1982, 1983, as opposed to 10+, that was what he needed. Also, go in the lab with Donnay and get a pure graphite frame developed by say 1983 (try maybe 80 sq inches at least, just a thought??), as guys were making that switch, including McEnroe by 1983!
It's almost as if something dawned on Borg during the day before the match and then during the match, and he said, this death threat is just too much. I remember he went into the 1981 final, having beat Connors in STRAIGHT SETS, while McEnroe was coming into the final after a 5 setter with Gerulaitis. So, he was obviously in pretty good form after the SF. What suddenly changed? The death threat must have played a role here.
All in all, Borg needed a layoff after this match and a Tour Organizers that would allow him to possibly play less than 10 tournaments for 1982, without him HAVING TO QUALIFY for say the 1983 Grand Slams. UNIMAGINABLE!
This link has a bit more footage including the end. I can't help thinking that at about 9:20 in this video, he's thinking about leaving the Stadium with his health, given the threat.
Anyway, see these excerpts from Wikipedia:
Borg went on to lose to McEnroe at the 1981 US Open, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-3, and the defeat effectively ended Borg's career. After that defeat, Borg walked off court and out of the stadium before the ceremonies and press conference had begun. It would turn out to be the Swede's last Grand Slam final.
Although he felt in good condition physically
, he recognized that the relentless drive to win and defy tour organizers had begun to fade.[10]
In 1982, Borg played only one tournament, losing to Yannick Noah in the quarterfinals of Monte Carlo. Nevertheless, Borg's announcement in January 1983 that he was retiring from the game at the age of 26 was a shock to the tennis world.
McEnroe tried unsuccessfully to persuade Borg to continue.
Bjorn Borg defied analysis. No one could manufacture a man that won 6 French Open and 5 straight Wimbledon titles. - Andrew Longmore

To the editor:
The recent article on the replacement of the boiler at Anderson County High School brought back many nostalgic memories for me.
Many of your readers remember, and I hope remember fondly, my father, the later Andrew Bird, who served as school superintendent from 1961 to 1976. As I was born in 1967, I do not remember the events as they happened, and I am sure time and memory have melded my recollections of the story.
To the editor:
Too many incumbents were re-elected to the 112th U.S. Congress.
Ordinarily, that would mean America lost the election, but maybe not this time.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) lit a glimmer of hope when he opposed the ban on earmarks and justified his opposition with the following nonsensical statement: "Banning earmarks doesn't save money."
By Sheila Mitchell
Here's why fools should stick to the business of being fools and leave the serious work to those who know how to do it.
Following the general election, I used this space to blow off steam about those who placed what amounted to garbage in our drop box in an effort to anonymously smear a candidate for judge-executive.
From personal financial documents to outrageous claims about his private life, these people were looking for someone to do their dirty work, apparently for fear of soiling the reputations of their chosen candidate.
What is common courtesy? Well, I can tell you what it's not.
A little over a week ago, I was approached by one of our readers who was particularly riled up about customers who don't tip appropriately at restaurants.
Readily admitting that she wasn't a nice person and saying I could most likely approach the issue with more tact than she would, she suggested I write a column about common courtesy. The little things people do that should get noticed, she said.
A big shout out to all my liberal Democrat friends in Anderson County who voted in this last election.
There must be what, at least four or five of us now? Band together, brothers and sisters. Don't lose hope.
But we have to give it to the Republicans, however. They certainly know how to make themselves look good, and have no apologies for any blunders.
Happy December. The 12th month has arrived and winter officially begins on the 21st, the same day we have the full cold moon.
The winter solstice means it's the shortest day of the year, with only nine hours and four minutes of daylight. To top it off, we have an eclipse of the moon taking place around 1:30 the same morning. What a great way to end the year.
I am appalled that the judicial system in Anderson County is so inconsistent.
In the past month, there have been several stories where the punishment for crimes just makes no sense to me. The Rachel Lawhon and the Gordon Lunceford cases for example. Ms. Lawhon was found guilty of basically a cyber crime, no physical contact, while Mr. Lunceford was found guilty of physically abusing a child.
Ms. Lawhon was sentenced to seven years; Mr. Lunceford's sentence was probated.

We had a wonderful week in Covas. Melissa's place was so beautiful, peaceful , welcome atmosphere and whole experience was beyond our expectation.
We all wish we had booked one more week....(we have been to Western Algarve twice before and we were sort of ready to go home after a week... but this time we all wanted stay much much longer...)
Valenca was beautiful old fortress town and worth a visit, Caminha & Praia de Ancora was great fun and we had a few great lunch (fish) there. Cerveira's Saturday market was very lively! There are lots of other places to visit nearby but also just chill out in a garden/pool and walk around Covas is so peaceful.
Driving though the mountain, river,, very scenic, just beautiful.. it make you so relax, calm.. this is what a holiday is all about!!!
We had a lunch at one of local restaurant and it was a great experience! They don't have a menu!!! The dish we were served was simple yet delicous!!!
Our son's highlight was a horse-riding. It was his first experience and unforgettable memony.Melissa is a fantastic instructor too. Also we enjoyed playing with Murphy and Jack the dogs.... they were great company!!
I am so happy that we have found this place.
Thanks Mellisa for letting us stay in your beautiful house!!
We would definitely go back there soon!! Would love to visit Covas in different season too.
My husband and stayed here in the middle of September and absolutely loved it. This place is set in a quiet little village in a valley in the northern mountains of Portugal. The accommodation itself is wonderful - Melissa and Chris are wonderful hosts who make you feel welcome and yet leave you alone if you wish. We stayed in the main 1 bedroom villa. It has everything you need including a washing machine if your staying for long periods of time. The bed is amazing and had the best nights sleeps you could ask for. It was nice to have the opportunity to watch UK TV shows as well as well as having the opportunity to sit outside underneath the vines and eat BBQ's and just soak in the atmosphere. There's a supermarket not that far away - 20 mins over the hill which was really convenient. I would thoroughly recommend doing the coast around the area and also driving through the National Parc which is not too far away. There are so many quaint little villages to see and Melissa and loads of information provided on the areas to see which was very helpful.
We would definitely come back here again - to either sight see or just sit by the pool and relax. Melissa highly recommends coming in May - when everything is in bloom so you should definitely come then!
When we choose the destination for our precious 'week away', we try to find a destination that will provide an experience that is as authentic as possible. We want to avoid tourist-staurated destinations and all that acompanies them, heavy traffic, noise, too many people. Our ideal is comfortable accomodation with a good sized private pool just for us or shared only with the owners, to feel welcome but supported, if need be. We like to be set in beautiful countryside with interesting areas not too far away and yet to be able to walk to local restaurants and bars.
This, and more, is what we enjoyed while staying in 'Melissa's cottage'. From the moment of our arrival we knew that we were welcome and would be at ease here. We had a terrific holiday!

We are just back (yesterday) from 10 days in Covas with our 13months old baby. We had a fabulous time. The house is just like the pictures, very clean, very welcoming, the garden is great and the pool is perfect. Melissa, Chris and the girls made us feel welcome, always suggesting nice things to do or nice places to go to without being "in your face".
You get a "welcome pack" on your first day with milk, fruit juice, eggs, butter, fresh butter, etc. Lovely attention to details
We had a fabtime and are seriously thinking about going back as the region is full of lovely places to discover and we have not seen it all.
We stayed at this place for a week at Easter, nice place, fantastic views the property is well decorated the kitchen is furnished( no micro wave in the big cottage) there are two cottages in the property we got both(we were four) Melissa the landlady was really very helpful, the cottages were very clean, it was a nice surprise to find first provisions in the fridge and fresh bread in the kitchen when we got there.
the property is located in a beautiful area with great views, there are nice and recomanded cities and villages round, also not very long distance to some beautiful Spanish cities such as Santiago de Compostela coruña,vigo,Baiona......
A week in this place was not enough, we´ll go back soon.
Thanks Melissa and Chris.
We loved staying at the cottage. It is a very nice spot with beautiful views of the mountains. Chris and Melissa were very nice, they even invited us one night at their beautiful house to watch the soccer finals. But at other times we hardly even noticed that they were around. It is a quiet place, good to relax, but there are many towns to visit in the near surroundings so you won't get bored. We stayed all together in the main cottage, because our children are a bit to small to stay in the separate cottage, but when you have older kids, I imagine it would be perfect for them. The kids loved it, they are still talking about the lambs that were born when we were there. We were actually a bit sad when we had to leave after two weeks, we could have easily stayed another two. We would definitely go back their some day and we will recommend the place to all our friends.
Chris and Melissa and the girls, thank you for a wonderful holiday

27 December 2010 16:44 [Source: ICIS news]
PRAGUE (ICIS)--PKN Orlen is poised to enter the second phase of its 2009-2013 strategy, which would place emphasis on expansion into new business segments and possible acquisitions, the Polish oil, chemicals and petrochemicals group said on Monday.
The move by PKN Orlen into the 2011-2013 growth period - following two years devoted to priorities such as efficiency savings and paying down debt - would partly commence with the start-up of the company's new 600,000 tonne/year purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant in Wloclawek, which should produce marketable PTA soon into the new year, it added.
Czech subsidiary Unipetrol, meanwhile, stood ready to maximise operations at a new joint-venture 120,000 tonne/year butadiene unit to provide the principal raw material for an 80,000 tonne/year polybutadiene rubber (PBR) plant to be opened by Synthos in Poland in early 2011, it said.
"We will also monitor the market to identify any potential acquisition opportunities that would make economic and operational sense," said Orlen spokesman Aleksandra Pustelnik.
Unipetrol was potentially in a good position to enter into acquisitions given its low net debt position of koruna (Kc) 413m ($21m, €16m) translating to a net debt/earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) ratio of just 0.09, said Raiffeisen Centrobank analyst Philipp Chladek.
But whether Orlen was giving it a proper chance to take advantage of this situation was "the major conundrum about Unipetrol", he added.
"The company wanted to present a new strategy by the end of this year [but Orlen board approval of it] was postponed until mid-2011. I think there are opportunities but Unipetrol can only do what parent Orlen allows it to do, and up to now the order is to stay put and concentrate on the Czech market," said Chladek.
Orlen has never hampered the growth of Unipetrol "and was dedicated to... maximising its development potential", responded Pustelnik.

SC man pleads guilty to illegal gun sales in NC
Wednesday - 1/30/2013, 5:38pm EST
By MICHAEL BIESECKER
Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - In a case prosecutors say highlights weaknesses in the nation's gun laws, a South Carolina man admitted Wednesday he sold dozens of powerful military-style rifles at gun shows and in a hotel parking lot without any paperwork or background checks.
Michael A. Beas of Greer, S.C., pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Charlotte to a single felony count of dealing firearms without a license.
Prosecutors say a Charlotte gun store owner alerted federal officials in August after Beas legally purchased 13 semi-automatic AK-47 rifles over the Internet.
Confronted by federal agents when he came to pick up the rifles, Beas admitted selling high-powered weapons at gun shows in the Carolinas and Georgia, as well as in deals carried out in the parking lot Red Roof Inn. He said he didn't bother to track who bought the guns, according to court records.
Among the items Beas admitted selling are key components needed to assemble .50-caliber sniper rifles that fire ammunition capable of piercing more than an inch of steel armor. A skilled marksman using such a rifle can hit a human-sized target at distances of up to 1 mile.
Beas, 33, didn't have any prior felony convictions. Therefore, under current federal law, it was legal for him to buy as many of the powerful firearms as he wanted.
He could also legally sell the weapons as a private individual without conducting the background checks intended to block buyers with mental illnesses, felony convictions or an active domestic violence protective order against them.
Where Beas ran afoul of the law, according to prosecutors, was operating a business selling guns without the required federal dealer's license.
Prosecutors admit Beas would have likely have avoided detection had it not been for the alarm raised by the suspicious staff at the gun store. The only way for authorities to track sales of multiple rifles and shotguns to an individual is to go from store to store and review reams of paper forms.
"Gun trafficking cases are difficult to prosecute in part because there are no reporting requirement for the multiple purchase of long guns, including assault rifles both from licensed dealers and at gun shows," said Anne Tompkins, the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina.
Beas faces a maximum sentence of up to 5 years in prison. As part of his plea agreement, Beas also agreed to surrender the 13 AK-47s and one .50 caliber sniper rifle.
Most of the new guns Beas sold would have been illegal for him to purchase under the federal assault weapons ban that expired in 2004. A bill to renew the ban introduced following December's mass killing of schoolchildren and teachers in Newtown, Conn., is now under consideration in Congress.

Operational highlights *The metering portfolio owned and installed increased by 28% to circa 81,000 assets (2012: circa 63,000); *Increased cumulative capital investment in meter assets of 36% to £58.3m which has produced long term recurring revenue in the current year of £7.8m (2012: £5.7m); *Meter Asset Management (MAM) services now provided to 27 gas suppliers within the UK I&C gas market; *The number of meter points from which data is collected on behalf of our customers has increased by 150% to circa 52,500 (2012: circa 21,000).

Current trading and outlook *The new financial year has started strongly with management's growth target across all divisions on track; *Contracts with Gazprom Energy, British Gas and Corona Energy continue to perform strongly; *The outlook remains positive and has been considerably enhanced by the acquisition of EAES which has significantly added to the Company's install and meter exchange growth prospects; *Additionally, new cutting edge technologies will enable Energy Assets to offer further cost effective solutions to our clients. These include: *Multi utility GSM data loggers, with owned IP, that are capable of delivering next day data granularity of half hourly or less; *Low powered radio technology providing delivery capability where normal GSM coverage is poor or unavailable and at a lower cost per unit on multi meter/multi site applications; *Data delivery via Ethernet which provides the capability to address the increasing demand for real time/live data rather than next day as has been the industry norm; and *Proven, efficient, and low cost demand side management of electrical equipment/circuits using the Z-LYNK system, a Power Line Communication technology that has been deployed widely for many years across a range of end user applications. Commenting on the strategy and outlook, Chief Executive Phil Bellamy-Lee said: "I am delighted to be able to report a strong operational and financial performance in the year to 31 March 2013, reflecting an excellent first full year as a listed company, with continued growth across our three business divisions. Our primary strategy continues to be the expansion of our market share within the UK I&C sector and the consolidation of our position as the UK's leading independent MAM. This position remains secure and has been further enhanced through our performance in this financial year. Our current contracts with Gazprom Energy, British Gas and Corona Energy continue to perform strongly and the transformational acquisition of EAES provides us with an opportunity to more than double the size of the I&C metering portfolio in place at the time of acquisition during the five year term of the metering contract with Gazprom. Additionally, over the last 12 months, we have assembled a team of business and technology experts to build on our range of technologies which are yet to be fully exploited and to add focus to the further development of current core and non core market sectors, building the Energy Assets offering for the future. We are confident of gaining additional work with other major gas suppliers and, together with the opportunities arising from Government regulatory requirements and our range of technology and supply chain partners, we are in a strong position to deliver our long term growth strategy. The Group remains well funded and we are confident that our attractive business model and systemised approach will secure continued growth into the future."

Most remarkable, within a month the controversy surrounding the threat of Ebola to Americans had mushroomed into a political emergency for the Obama presidency itself, only a few tense weeks before the November 4 elections. Calls escalated for the appointment of an Ebola czar and a travel ban on persons originating in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, the root sources of the Ebola emergency. A special measure of criticism was reserved for the Obama administration's lead face in the U.S. response, Dr.

Bristol 27.7
Has anyone owned a 27.7 and how do or did you like her. I see one in New Jersey for sail and have heard build quality is good. I am looking for more or less a coastal cruiser with ocasional blue water work. Also the specs on the for sale site say 27.7 cb. and 3foot 5 inch draft. I did not think they made anything but a 4 foot 4 inch draft??
I think the 3'5" draft is wishfull thinking. After searching the net 4'4" is the ONLY listed draft on ANY site. They did make both a 26 and a 29 with CB's. The 29 is listed at 3'4" with the board up. The only alternative is that the keel was modified sometime in its life. THAT is a bag of worms to be avoided IMHO.
Personally, I think the CB is a complication worth avoiding. That is partly why I went from a swing keel Catalina 22 to the Bristol 27.

The battles seem to become a challenge, nice work.. but is this mod supposed to make the game hardcore? darth mod have always been a mark of complete overhaul and enhancement of total war games, and not a sign of hardcore, but here in Shogun II the game became hardcore as hell, as for me, though I can't say I am a complete fool in strategy, but since RTW I have been doing quite well and with darth mod too..
i mean can't get all the supposed fun from playing the game
The same problem, can't play game
Found out an interesting bug: sending a spy from a city to a near by army to assasinate the general(accomplished), made me able to move an entire army..(wanted to move the spy to his further destination, but it seems he got a hell bunch of retinue..)
sorry for mistakes if any, english isn't my native

Fukushima disaster and after
Sep 14, 2013
Despite worries over the massive quantities of water needed to cool the melted Fukushima reactors, the risk of radiation-contaminated water to public health is minimal, a former U.S. nuclear regulator has said.
