At the end, you take a final, with the actual test being at the discretion of your chief scribe: some sites use the online version, some have an in-person test that's completely different from the online version. It's like an online class with other students, and you register for time slots. Training was 9-10 virtual training sessions about 2-3 hours each iirc. I am one of a total ten new hires across the year I started, and only two of us are still sticking through. They're also incentivized to take anyone because.ģ) Candidates often drop out during training due to material difficulty or changes in professional plans. ScribeAmerica gave me the impression that they'll hire just about anybody who applies because they know their applicant pool has already self-selected themselves to college-educated kids with a medical familiarity (not necessarily background) and parents who can subsidize their abysmal pay and lack of benefits. Overall, don't stress about it, and just study the packet. I was then registered me for the hospital's monthly orientation and had a drug test done. I did a paper test quizzing me on the aforementioned packet then got a manual/textbook to study for virtual training. I signed onboard, and met my Chief Scribe in person who then became my new liaison. Maybe not a month later I was matched to a hospital super close to me. I then had to submit online a typing speed test, a sample passage to prove my English literacy, and a practice dictation. My interviewer acknowledged that they can't stop me from quitting prematurely as she knows we're all trying to get into other healthcare programs. They gave me a med term packet to review, and then interviewed me in-person asking me to define only one term out of that packet, what I would do if schoolwork and my scheduled shift had a conflict, what my availabilities are, and what specialty I would like (ED is the most flexible). What I do know is that the hospital we're contracted with has suspended onboarding orientation for all new hires in their system, which means new scribes will only get as far as floor training and no actual solo shifts until then.Ģ) I was hired pre-COVID, and I was contacted a month or so after application. I'm also pre-PA, and I don't think I need to remind you to remember that EMT is considered high quality PCE whereas scribing is only considered as HCE by some programs.ġ) My location had a hiring freeze though I'm unsure if they've since lifted it. ![]()

![]() Late in the season, a character’s death is awkwardly shoved into the last five minutes of an episode, mostly so Joel and Sam can tearily bond at the funeral. At one point, Tricia mentions that Sam has a job, but it’s never clear what it is. There’s vague conversation about the farm being in trouble, but that’s apparently resolved by the end of the season, when the sisters host a major event there. Unable to replace these concepts and characters with anything substantive, the episodes flit from one unfinished idea to another. Tricia’s teenage daughter (Annie Munch) is only given a single scene before she goes to college, while Sam and Tricia’s mother (Jane Drake Brody) is shunted off to a psychiatric ward in Episode 3 and never discussed again. Similarly, Tricia’s ex-husband Rick and her former business partner Charity don’t appear in this go-round, despite the fact that their affair blew up Tricia’s life. He occasionally references his struggle to find a new church, but otherwise, that aspect of his character has been excised. Now Choir Practice is just gone, reduced to a single passing mention. ![]() That not only unlocked something in Sam, but also cleared a path for the future Joel’s religious devotion. In the finale, after Joel left the church where he’d been secretly hosting Choir Practice gatherings, his friends helped him through his crisis of faith by suggesting the cabaret could live on in Ed’s barn. ![]() Last season, for instance, was built around Sam and Joel’s participation in Choir Practice, a cabaret that welcomed the town’s outcasts to sing, drink, and experience fellowship. It’s less clear why Bos and Thureen choose to give themselves so many other roadblocks. Hagerty’s death is an unavoidable fact, of course. As written, she might not be able to handle the loss of her father, and at any rate, that story could swallow the entire season. It’s a good choice, since Sam’s whole arc is accepting the death of her sister Holly. Rather than address his death on camera, the show sends Ed on a long trip to see his brother, while Sam and her sister Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison) look after his land. The biggest is the death of actor Mike Hagerty, who played Sam’s father Ed, a lifelong farmer in their small Kansas town and one of the few people who could make his daughter feel safe. Narratively, series creators Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen contend with several enormous challenges. ![]() This duo could jazz up a trip to the morgue, and they certainly make it easy to watch seven half-hours of half-baked television. The characters have one of the funniest, most generous friendships on TV, while Everett and Hiller’s chemistry makes them seem like actual soulmates. But as shapeless as they are, the new episodes are also a joy to watch, because they’re mostly about Sam’s relationship with her best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller). ![]() That’s frustrating because the first season was so well-constructed, guiding an aimless woman named Sam Miller (Bridget Everett) toward an emotional breakthrough that was both beautiful and earned. On a basic storytelling level, the HBO comedy has stopped making sense, with an almost aggressive disregard for internal consistency. The second season of Somebody Somewhere is both an absolute delight and an absolute mess. ![]() ![]() ![]() Holocrons were issued as a 'gift', Now everybody wanted to be a jedi. Then you *had* to be a jedi to compete in PvP so the NGE was released. This removed most classes and skills, over simplifying the game and gave everyone the option to start as a jedi. The challenge was removed, subs dropped and the game died. Rogue characters could be invisible on the battlefields, but had to uncloak to attack. Carebears fed up of being killed, even though they new the frontiers were not safe started whining. So they nerfed stealth so you couldn't be invisible and over night masses of characters lost their role and reason for being there. Subs started declining because you couldn't now get any intel and the only option was to zerg, leading to massive stand offs for hours at a time. The game become boring and the whole reason of the game PvP (realm combat) was ruined.Īll games that come pre-nerfed to be carebear friendly always fail because there is simply no challenge, There was no fear or challenge to the frontiers only blobs. For any online game to succeed there has to be fear, challenge and loss and the satisfaction you get when you beat those and triumph!!!ĭepends on what you call fail. WOW has no fear, no challenge and no loss and yet it makes way more money then EVE could ever hope to make and has more subs then CCP could ever dream up having. So to Blizzard and the other 11 million people WOW is anything but a failure but hey lets not let facts get in your way. Rant away with your nonsense and poor logic. On the contrary, UO experienced a subscription boom when Trammel was released. People now had the choice to engage in PVP when they wanted to. There was still plenty of risk and challenge to be had and there were still a lot of people running around Felluca. You could also loot people in Trammel back in those days. This gave rise to iconic characters such as Crazy Joe and Belan the Looter. I made quite a name for myself as a disarm thief on the Felluca side of the Atlantic shard and it was a ton of fun.Īge of Shadows is what killed it. The inclusion of insurance and the pixel crack addiction that came with it killed our precious UO.But about that Looter character! In the comics he was, no lie, some dude who huffed gas that came out of meteors to give him super strength. He is a classic Ditko era villain, though definitely one of the more forgotten ones. He's got a classic Ditko esque design, but his gimmick is just too goofy to take seriously. But I wanted to get as many Ditko era characters in here as I could, so here he is. I've completely reinterpreted his meteor huffing into his StarGOD powered gauntlets, which is about as "cosmic" as my series gets, considering its link to Man-Wolf. If you would like your website or resource included in the sidebar please message the moderators.But the Looter also had a brief appearance in the nineties when he fought Ben Reilly (at the time replacing Peter as Spider-Man), and in this appearance he forwent meteor gas for using equipment from other super villains, which I thought would be a fun gimmick to lean into.

So along with Gershwin's songs ("Swanee," " Stairway to the Stars" and "Innocent Ingenue Baby") receiving their debut on a classical stage, so did Gershwin himself. On asking Van Vecten who might accompany her for the American songs portion of her program, he suggested Gershwin. ![]() When Van Vechten mentioned American songs her response was tepid, but when he "particularized" by making a reference to the songs as "Jazz," her interest picked up and when Maurice Ravel saw her in Paris and made a similar proposal, she accepted the concept. The idea for doing this virtually unheard of combination of song styles in concert was proposed to Gauthier by Carl Van Vechten (American, writer, music critic, and photographer) when she asked him for suggestions for her upcoming recital. The first time Gershwin songs were performed by a classical singer in concert was on the occasion of Eva Gauthier's recital of "Ancient and Modern Music for Voice" at Aeolian Hall, in New York City, November 21, 1923.

This switch is usually located just above the trigger and reverses the bit’s rotation to create a smooth finish. Reverse FunctionĪll corded power drills have a reverse function. While a drill with high rpms can drill more quickly, a model with a lot of torque can use larger bits and drill through harder materials more efficiently. The slower the drill speed, the greater the torque. Speed is important as it relates to torque, which is the twisting force of a drill. Most drills have variable speed (VSR) triggers that allow the operator to adjust the speed. Low-end corded drills operate at a single top speed while better-quality corded drills typically offer three to four different settings ranging in speed from 200 to 2,000 rpm. Rotation speed refers to how many full revolutions the drill bit will make per minute. Drills that generate a lot of torque can be difficult to use one-handed and thus come with handle attachments that allow the user to operate the drill with both hands. Torque is essential when drilling holes through materials such as metal and masonry. ![]() The higher the torque, the easier it is for the bit to cut through the material. Torque, measured in pounds-feet, determines the drill’s twisting power. While power is important, torque is also a crucial factor. The more powerful the motor, the more torque the drill produces, and the easier it will drill through material. A corded drill with a 5-amp motor, for example, has a max output of 550 watts (5 amps x 110 volts = 550 watts). To determine how powerful a drill’s motor is, multiply the motor’s amp rating by the power supply’s maximum power output. While the most powerful corded drills draw from a 20-volt rechargeable battery, corded drills can access a 110-volt electricity supply for as long as the unit is connected to the power source.Ĭorded power drill motors are rated by amps. Power is what separates corded drills from their cordless cousins. Massive 1/2-inch models are often used by professionals due to their heavy-duty construction and ability to handle larger drill bits. This means a 3/8-inch chuck allows you to use a 1/2-inch bit with a 3/8-inch shank.Ī drill with a 3/8-inch chuck size is large enough to handle most home projects. Keep in mind that most bits use a slightly smaller shank than the actual size of the drill bit. The size determines the maximum diameter drill bit shank a chuck can hold. For power drills, chucks come in three sizes: 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, and 1/2-inch. ![]() Chucks usually use a locking key to grip the shank end of a drill bit. The chuck is the clamp at the business end of the drill that holds the bit in place. Characteristics such as size, weight, chuck size, and rotation speed also play a significant role in how well a drill performs. And while the axiom “the more power, the better” does hold true with corded drills, it’s not the only thing to consider. When it comes to power tools, most users focus on the motor’s size, and corded drills are no exception. Photo: What to Consider When Choosing the Best Corded Drill
![]() Here are the top 12 most important and famous people of the ancient Maya civilization: So the Maya civilization was one of the most sophisticated civilizations of the ancient world and that also means they had their famous and important leaders and people who were crucial in building that empire. The people were great believers in the supernatural and developed astronomical and mythical systems to keep these beliefs alive. Language and mathematics were also very important, as was the introduction of the calendar. The Maya civilization was built on the four basic pillars of politics, art, the royalty, and a fight for survival. Blue and green were the most important colors of the Maya civilization, and every work of art was painted with these colors. ![]() Most of the major cities of the region were believed to have declined during the Postclassic period with the exceptions of Chichen Itza and Puuc which were transformed at this time.Īrt and culture in the Maya civilization were mostly reserved for the royal courts, and art was created from perishable and non-perishable material. Monument inscriptions were also believed to have originated during this period. The Classic period saw the development of major cities and infrastructures that went on to define the civilization, and it was marked by urbanism and the arts. It has been divided up into the Preclassic, Classic, Postclassic and Contact periods. The Maya civilization adopted a system which allowed each ruler to follow his own path in a bid to get the upper hand over the others. They used a logosyllabic system where one glyph represented one word, closely following the spoken language of the pre-Columbian world. The Maya civilization was also notable for its achievements in writing, developing the most sophisticated writing system in the world at the time. These states never united to form a unified civilization and each developed at its own rate. The civilization was divided into small provinces and states, each one of which was ruled by a king. They worshiped the gods and their ancestors. ![]() The Maya people inhabited the lands of Yucatan, Campeche, Tabasco, El Salvador, and Honduras and had an amazing culture with some fascinating beliefs such as no one is ever born and no one ever dies. The Maya civilization, based in Mexico and Central America, is one of the oldest-known civilizations. ![]() ![]() In fact, I’m pretty sure if you asked anyone who wasn’t familiar with it what it was, that’s what they’d say. At a casual glance, you really could mistake it for a compact typewriter.

I studied at Loyola University of Chicago (B.A. In a 2010 interview with the Miami Herald, Buika said Vargas taught her to “make a monument out of loneliness.I was born in Chicago in 1954, the third child and only daughter in a family of seven children. In recent years, a number of younger artists acknowledged their debt to Vargas’ style, including Spanish singer Concha Buika, who won a Latin Grammy for best traditional tropical album with her tribute to Vargas, “ El Ultimo Trago” (The Last Drink). Her late-in-life coming out was not much of a surprise to anyone who had followed her career: She often declined to change the pronouns in love songs written by men from “she” to “he.” But she also tended to shun modern gender pigeonholes, noting that many described her as “ rareza” - a rarity. In 2002, she appeared in the biographical Kahlo film “Frida,” in which she sang “ La Llorona.” In 2007, she was awarded a Latin Grammy for a career of musical excellence. ![]() Her versions of songs like “ La Llorona” (The Weeping Woman) and “ Piensa en Mi” (Think of Me) are considered definitive.īy 1976, a life lived as hard as she had described in her songs had caught up with her, and she largely disappeared from public life until the 1990s, when she was rediscovered by a new generation of fans. Vargas recorded her first record, “ Noche de Bohemia,” in 1961 and went on to record more than 80 others. ![]() In 2009, the Los Angeles Times reported that a diary purportedly belonging to Kahlo described the painter’s intense - but unrequited - attraction to the singer. It was long rumored that the bisexual Kahlo and Vargas engaged in a romantic affair. The late Mexican essayist Carlos Monsivais wrote that Vargas knew “how to express the desolation of the rancheras with the radical nakedness of the blues.”Īlong the way, she mingled with the cream of Mexico’s artistic and intellectual set, including writer Juan Rulfo, composer Agustin Lara, and the painters Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Often accompanied by stark, minimal guitars, Vargas’ voice could shift expertly between jarringly different moods, often within the brackets of a single song - from intimately confessional to brightly hopeful to searingly wounded. In the 1930s, after the divorce of her parents and a childhood she described as unhappy, she relocated to Mexico, where she took a number of odd jobs and eventually dedicated herself to singing.īy the 1950s she had become a fixture on Mexico City’s thriving bohemian club scene, where she became a standout for her androgynous style and overt references to her homosexuality - which she would not make public until 2000 - but also for her undeniable talent for finding the soulful pith in the rancheras, boleros and corridos of the day. Isabel Vargas Lizano was born April 17, 1919, in the town of San Joaquin de Flores in Costa Rica and had hoped to be a musician from her early childhood. It was Almodovar who perhaps best described Vargas’ chosen instrument as “ la voz aspera de la ternura” - the rough voice of tenderness. Though Vargas experienced her first flush of fame in the mid-20th century - with an outlaw image she cultivated by wearing men’s clothing, packing a pistol and knocking back copious quantities of tequila - she enjoyed a second round of admiration that was perhaps even more intense beginning in the 1990s, with a rediscovery fueled in great part by Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar, who championed her music for a new generation and included it in some of his films. Vargas had been hospitalized for a number of days after returning from Spain, where she had been promoting a CD dedicated to Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca. Vargas died of multiple organ failure Sunday at the Hospital Inovamed in Cuernavaca, Mexico, according to a spokeswoman there.
