Īfter powering on, Ash continued to work with the Apex Predators, gaining control over a custom Ronin-class Titan.Īs the IMC’s ARES Division sought to protect a mysterious device known as the Fold Weapon on the planet Typhon, General Elias Marder solicited the help of the Apex Predators, paying a hefty sum to gain their support. Ashleigh Reid became the simulacrum known as Ash. She agreed to have her mind uploaded into a robotic shell, despite the mental trauma this would cause. Reid’s dying body was recovered from the aftermath. Pathfinder redirected the phase runner to its original destinations and activated the facility’s self-destruct sequence, preventing the branthium from falling into the wrong hands. Almost immediately, she was stabbed through the chest with her own sword by Paquette. Anastasia Oliveira, another of the Group’s scientists, and disabled the MRVN with two shots from her Mozambique. She received some brief interference from Pathfinder - programmed as the Group’s failsafe - who engaged the soldiers. With this, she was able to access the systems and redirect the phase runner to Gridiron. Paquette bravely stood up to her former colleague, though Reid responded by brandishing a sword and slicing off her hand. Reid struggled to break through, as activation required the handprints of two staff members. As the Group celebrated, Reid entered with a contingent of Apex Predators soldiers and rendered her fellow scientists disarmed and bound - though not before Paquette locked down the site’s security systems. Not wishing to get Newton caught up in the events, she released him early for the day. That day, Reid decided to finally put her plan into motion. On December 25, the Group had completed the refinement of their first batch of branthium and prepared to distribute it through a phase runner. Construction and modification of the MRVN components lasted for just over a month, and finally concluded on February 4, resulting in the “birth” of a MRVN that the Group christened as “ Pathfinder.” The other scientists agreed, and Reid offered to reach out to her connections at Hammond Robotics for suitable components. While brainstorming a solution, Reid suggested that the Group repurpose a MRVN for the task. On January 2, 2658, the reason for this was discovered: the refinery chamber used to process the element required constant calibration, and the conditions inside are too inhospitable for a human to operate the controls. Initial tests of branthium as a power source repeatedly failed. Īpex Legends Review - A New Battle Royale Titanĭuring the Group’s research, Reid often came to blows with Dr. Unbeknownst to Reid, Somers had survived, and would return to the Outlands 87 years later due to time dilation. Shortly before his work was to begin, Newton gave Ash a set of nunchaku that he had received as a gift from Lillian Peck. In the absence of Somers, Reid served as a mentor figure for her son, Newton, who interned under her and the other scientists during their research on branthium, much to Reid's protests. Reid later returned to Psamathe and delivered the branthium to the scientists, collectively known as the Group, for refinement and replication. After sending it back to their main spacecraft, however, Reid betrayed Somers, disconnecting their tether and seemingly leaving her to die. Upon arriving, Somers set out in a small shuttle and successfully gathered a sample. To prove this right and avert an imminent energy crisis, Somers and Reid departed in 2646 on a mission to a black hole to gather this mysterious element. According to Somers’ calculations, branthium could only be gathered on the accretion disk of a black hole. Unbeknownst to the Apex Predators, branthium wasn’t a simple fuel source - it was a brand new element that had been hypothesized by famed astrophysicist Dr. She was eventually hired by the Apex Predators mercenary group for a daunting task - infiltrate a group of scientists on Psamathe and steal branthium, the experimental fuel source they were developing. At some point, she lost her brother when he was young and had to learn that the only person who can look out for her is herself. Ashleigh Reid was born in 2613 somewhere in the Frontier.

Looked at the 370Z in 2015, but opted for the brand new Miata ND. Have been interested in Z cars ever since my brother had a used 260Z in the 1980s. IC powered sports cars built to bring joy into this miserable world, should be cherished while they last.ĭefinitely interested in this car. We're about to go over the precipice of all electric, disposable, appliance mobiles with no going back. I'm thrilled that Nissan is building this thing. The grille is bold.since it's a design reference to another, more artfully accomplished implementation, it will never be given its own space to breathe. Nothing can match the image of the original cars as seen through the rose colored glass of our nostalgia. I think this 400Z, if it was an entirely new thing, would be received a lot better. In the car world, the most obvious recent example is the Supra which got this bitter, angry, foot stomping attention even though it's a stunning, wickedly fast (by the standards of its predecessors) coupe. Just look at how the modern Star Wars movies have sent people off the deep end. It seems like products sold this way must be 100% on target or they might as well be 100% trash. I wonder if it's just a symptom of being fed products that use our warm, fuzzy associations as their main hook, that so many people react bitterly. Problem probably is, if you train yourself to work with the camera (easy enough) then every time you're in another car, same problem in reverse.īut the visual fidelity to reality is crazy good, once you're focused properly. I manually refocus my eyes and it's all good. Who knew? So when I cut the eyes up to see what's behind right as I'm about to cut to the next lane, everything is wildly out of focus. In other words, the eyes are looking at something that is 100' or farther away, and they need to be focused in their "infinity" mode for things to not be blurry.īut the TV screen is only, like, 21" away from your eyes, and requires an up-close focus. It's automatic and I had no idea we do it. The weird thing about it though is this: you are totally used to automatically shifting your eyes' focus point to "long distance" when you glance at your mirror. It is amazingly real - I didn't know it was in screen mode till the salesman flipped it and suddenly an enormous spare tire blocked 79% of my view out the back. The mirror has a toggle under it that changes from mirror to screen, meaning you can run in camera mode full time. I just did a long test drive of a Defender 110. Plenty of modern cars have screens that do not have touch functionality. Or with a screen that is controlled by a separate device like my Audi. In chaos, Seth breaks free and she is crushed and impaled by the spiked decoration. I already had a wife!" and shoots at the chandelier above them dislodging it from the ceiling. As Santánico "welcomes" Seth to slavery at the mercy of the vampires, he quips back "No thanks. She attacks him and then pins him down with her bare foot and taunts him whilst undergoing a transformation into a horrific vampire. Later during the ensuing chaos, Santánico recovers and finds Seth alone and after he unsuccessfully tries to kill her. This encounter signals the rest of the watching staff to transform and feed on the stunned onlooking patrons. Though Seth manages to stun her with a gunshot, Richie soon passes away from his wound. While Richie is distracted, she jumps on his back and struggles with him resulting in her biting him in the neck and feeding upon him before Seth can stop her. In a short confrontation, Richie is stabbed in his already wounded hand, and seeing his blood, Santánico is quickly overcome by immense bloodlust and changes her appearance from an attractive female dancer to an unholy, beastial vampire. Richie takes special notice of the club's star performer Santánico Pandemónium during an extended solo performance, after which Chet and some others approach the group, looking to settle the score with the Geckos. Seth and Richie drink heavily, encouraging the entire group to do the same. Inside, they are initially ordered to leave by bartender Razor Charlie, as only bikers and truckers are allowed, but Jacob Fuller defuses the situation by showing him his driver's license which has a trucker rating. Her scales often have a reddish hue or pattern.īefore entering, Seth Gecko and Richie Gecko get into a fight with doorman Chet Pussy (Cheech Marin's third role), after the latter makes a lewd comment towards Kate Fuller. This could indicate that she is a more powerful culebra. Pandemónium has a very defined culebra form, and gets body scales as well as facial scales, whereas the Titty Twister's other dancers only had facial scales. She is regarded as being very beautiful by numerous characters throughout the series, and she is the main attraction at the Titty Twister as well. She is mostly seen with red lipstick that has a darker style. Santanico has dark brown hair and brown eyes. Pandemónium loses her long black hair and her soft complexion in favor of a hard, scaly serpent-like skin, her eyes also become snake-like with striking slit-pupils, her teeth distort and lengthen into sharp fangs, her deep red lips inflate making them fuller, her ears become rigid and sharp, and the flesh that makes turning similar to the rest of face and pointing upwards like that of a traditional vampire creature. Though her head and neck region appears to be the only part of her that undergoes the swift, dramatic change into monstrous transformation, her facial structure definitely suggests that she's no longer human. Dressing only in a black bra and panties and adorned with a feathery headdress, Santanico cuts a very slinky and seductive figure, ideal for entrapping eager young males into the vampire's lair to serve as a suitable and virile feast for the bloodthirsty monsters masquerading as beautiful and lusty strippers and dancers.Ī very different beast emerges in her true form, however, as Pandemónium resembles a half-woman half-snake albeit with a legion to the immortal undead vampire creatures. In her "human" appearance, Santanico appears as slender and buxom Latina woman with long black hair, deep red lips, and a soft complexion of a woman in her late 1920s. 2.1.2 From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter. In the 2014 TV series, she was portrayed by Eiza González, who also portrayed Darling in Baby Driver and Maia Simmons in Godzilla vs. In the third film, she was portrayed by Ara Celi. In the first film, she was portrayed by Salma Hayek, who later played Claire Luna in Like a Boss. Initially presented to her captive, entranced audience as an illustrious and highly arousing exotic dancer, Santanico reveals herself and the Titty Twister's glamorous clientele to be a horde of ravenous, monstrous and aggressive vampires with her. She is the queen of the vampires that hides in the Titty Twister. She stars as the main attraction at the Titty Twister, a seedy and smutty hole-in-the-wall bar and strip joint just over the border of Mexico where criminal brothers Seth Gecko and Richie Gecko flee to with a family of hostages in tow. Santánico Pandemónium (also spelled Santanico Pandemonium) is the main antagonist of the 1996 action horror film From Dusk till Dawn. ~ Santánico Pandemónium in her vampire form. Since you'll be my dog, your new name will be "Spot". And at my command, you'll lick the dog sh-t from my boot heel. Why? Because I don't think you're worthy of human blood. Factors shaping it include gender inequality and community attitudes towards women: The Commission shows the causes of family violence to be complex. The implication is that if she actually had an affair with Cassio, Othello would have considered the killing justified, and not taken his own life. Othello suicides not because he killed Desdemona, but rather because he killed her on the mistaken understanding that she had desired and loved another man. It also reports:Ī demonstrable link between family violence, homicide and suicide … a large number of men who died from suicide in Victoria between 20 had a history of family violence. The commission reports strangulation as a common method used by male perpetrators to kill female victims. Othello and Desdemona by Alexandre Marie Colin. “She’s gone, I am abused, and my relief / Must be to loather her” quickly escalates to “I’ll tear her all to pieces!” and “chop her into messes.” He makes increasingly violent threats to harm and kill Desdemona. Having been mistakenly told that Desdemona is having an affair with his lieutenant Cassio, Othello repeatedly verbally abuses Desdemona in sexual terms – he calls her a public whore, a commoner, a strumpet and a devil. Othello’s abuse of Desdemona matches the Commission’s description of family violence as a multifaceted pattern of escalating behaviour rather than a single event. What does the recent Victorian Royal Commission into Family Violence tell us about the Venetian general’s murder of his wife Desdemona, and his subsequent suicide? How might the commission’s recommendations have prevented the violence in Shakespeare’s play? And how does a 21st-century perspective on family violence deepen our insights and pathos on viewing the play? Bell Shakespeare’s production of Othello is touring Australia until December 2016. The live performance at the 2011 Grammy ceremony with Bob Dylan and The Avett Brothers led to a surge in popularity for the band in the US. The band has won music awards throughout their career, with Sigh No More earning the band the Brit Award for Best British Album in 2011, a Mercury Prize nomination and six overall Grammy Award nominations. The band has issued three live albums: Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire (2011), The Road to Red Rocks (2012), and Live from South Africa: Dust and Thunder (2017). Their debut Sigh No More peaked at number two on the UK Albums Chart and the Billboard 200 in the US, with Babel and Wilder Mind both debuting at number one in the UK and US, the former becoming the fastest-selling rock album of the decade and leading to a headline performance at the Glastonbury Festival in 2013. Mumford & Sons have released four studio albums: Sigh No More (2009), Babel (2012), Wilder Mind (2015), and Delta (2018). The band consists of Marcus Mumford (lead vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, drums), Ted Dwane (vocals, bass guitar, double bass), and Ben Lovett (vocals, keyboards, piano). As a result, that joy is spread to all who bear witness along the way.Mumford & Sons are a British folk rock band formed in London in 2007. As the song indicates, there’s no limit to the depth of his devotion. The mood is established early on with I Hear Banjos, an exuberant expression of joy and jubilation. Through it all, Mitchell manifests his dedication to making music through his obvious enthusiasm. As the song suggests, even the most romantic overtures pale when it comes to the pull of divine devotion. That’s evidenced by I Gave My Heart (To the Girl Who Gave Her Heart To Jesus). Mitchell possesses a soulful spirituality, but his temporal side is also evident as well. It Rained details the results of a natural catastrophe, and the effect it had on a town and its inhabitants. Reach Out Your Hand shares the unfortunate fate of a wayward son who leaves his parents in a fit of fury, only to beg for their help later on. Uncommon Man, for example, offers homage to an individual who gives up his dreams in order to give priority to his family first and foremost. Taken in tandem, the stories shared in these songs come across as both affectionate and affecting. Mitchel himself had a hand in writing eleven of the thirteen songs, with two covers - bluegrass classics Love of the Mountains and Summer Wages - finding a fit with the original offerings. The players - Mitchell (lead vocals and fiddles), Jason Moore (bass), Joey Mosley (guitar), Jake Mosley (mandolin), Tray Wellington (banjo), Jesse Smathers (tenor vocals), Jesse Brock (baritone vocals), and Greg Blake (guest vocals) - put equal emphasis on the melodies as well as the messaging. The songs veer from rousing to reflective, with an outstanding group of contributing musicians ensuring that an emphatic impression is made throughout. Mitchell is an astute observer who draws from his own memories and the experiences others have shared as well. It’s all relayed respectively and, at times, reverently as well. In so doing, it shares both the commitment and complications those relationships often entail. Both touching and tender, resilient and resolute, it’s a concept album and song cycle of sorts, one which details the intrinsic bond between, well, fathers and sons. As as a singer, fiddler, viola player, and instructor, his dedication to making music has been evident with each of his four albums, but it’s especially now, courtesy of this vibrant new offering from Turnberry Records, Fathers and Sons. Mike Mitchell’s unfettered affection for bluegrass has always been apparent. It comes with many features like presets and allows you to extract music from video files.

Overall, equating can be summed up simply as “if you take the MCAT on different days but display the exact same ability, you should get the exact same score.” The same is true for the AAMC practice tests if you perform at the same level on all of them, you should, in theory, get the same score, even though the scale of every AAMC FL is different. In fact, this is why this usually takes about 30 to 35 days to receive your MCAT scores back, barring unusual circumstances. This is exactly what happens for the official MCAT, only that equating process happens after the exam, including its many test forms, is administered. Individual scales are devised for each section to account for this variation.įor instance, if you happen to encounter a brutally difficult CARS section, the AAMC will recognize that test-takers who had that test form didn’t tend to answer as many questions correct for that section as usual, and they’ll assign it a more lenient scale. The test-makers know, from data gathered from thousands of students, that as much as they might have tried to make the exams equal in difficulty, some sections are just going to be harder on certain exams than others. This is because the AAMC practice tests have already been equated. Now, if you get exactly 47 questions correct on, say, the chemistry/physics section for every AAMC full-length practice exam you take, you’ll notice that you won’t always get the same scaled MCAT scores. The AAMC then takes that value and converts it to a scaled score, which falls in that 118 to 132 MCAT score range that I mentioned earlier. So, for example, if you got 47 questions correct out of 59 for a science section, your raw score is 47/59. On a practice test-and on the real thing-the number of questions you answer correctly in each section is termed your raw score. Don’t worry if you haven’t taken those yet we won’t reveal any specifics! (But on that subject, be sure to check out our ' Advice on how to take a full-length MCAT practice test'.) To understand the basics of how this works, let’s consider the AAMC MCAT practice tests as an example. In other words: equating ensures fairness. This is why the MCAT scores are equated: so that everyone’s results reflect the relative difficulty or ease of the exam they took. But we can still gather two main takeaways from the existence of these test forms.įirst, if you’re the type of person who likes to go online after your MCAT test date and commiserate with others about it-within the AAMC’s guidelines, of course-you should be aware that not everyone you’re talking to even took the same test.Īnd second, the AAMC must have some process by which they figure out which test forms were harder or easier than others and account for this in their scoring. Instead, the Association of American Medical Colleges or AAMC (the examiners) creates the MCAT in many different versions, called “test forms.” These forms might be entirely different, or they might differ only slightly we can’t be sure of the specifics, because the AAMC keeps this information very close to the vest. Here’s the kicker: Not everyone on the same test date gets the same exam! In fact, not everyone in the same testing center on the same test date gets the same exam. Let’s get started … Why does the AAMC equate the MCAT score range?Ī given MCAT test date is termed an “administration,” and one exam administration or test date includes test-takers from every location where the MCAT is offered. So, with our powers combined, it’s time to clear up the many score-related misconceptions that float around in the MCAT universe. In fact, Clara routinely thinks way, way too much about the nuances of MCAT scoring. Is every question on the MCAT worth the same amount?Īs the brains behind the world’s smartest flashcard app, and a comprehensive collection of adaptive, digital flashcards for the MCAT, Brainscape and our MCAT expert partner, Clara Gillan (who scored a stratospheric 526 on the exam), are more than just a little familiar with these questions.Should I retake the MCAT to improve my score?.How do average MCAT scores on my test date affect my score?.Why does the AAMC equate the MCAT score range?.Putting the weirdness of these numbers aside, for now, it doesn’t seem like there’s much more to it than that.īut if you stop and think about it, you might start to wonder: Each of the four multiple-choice sections on the MCAT is given a score between 118 and 132, and those scores are added directly to yield a composite score between 472 and 528. It might be tempting to think that you know essentially all there is to know about how the MCAT is scored. If you give her a chance, Viola just might grow on you. Personally, though, I see her as a nice counterpoint to the more confident and polished Bayonetta. Unlike Bayonetta and fellow Umbra Witch Jeanne, Viola is raw and rough in both look and attitude, eschewing the confident elegance of her two witch counterparts.Īdmittedly, her design can be a bit polarizing as Viola comes out as a love-it-or-hate-it character with likely no middle ground for a lot of players. One notable change is the addition of a new playable character, the witch-in-training Viola, to the series. I wouldn’t say that the story is bad but it could also be much better, especially given its excellent start. All I’ll say is that it’s a bit of a shame as Bayonetta 3 looked like it had the potential to have the best story in the franchise. It’s a bit hard to explain without spoiling the story. It would have been nice, for example, if certain plot points were fleshed out a bit more or allowed to percolate more naturally. It just feels like it’s trying to do much, too soon at the expense of letting things just naturally develop. Bayonetta 3 is no different and, as a result, the payoff to its excellent setup doesn’t always end up as satisfying as it could be. While the Bayonetta series has always had great lore underneath all of its camp and irreverence, its execution can sometimes be uneven.
