2/18/2024 0 Comments System of a down chop suey"In my, self righteous suicide" does not literally mean that they think suicide is justifiable, but that the turks make it seem like the Armenians killed themselves and their own people for attention. System of a Down is basically saying "Wake Up" and realize what your doing and saying. Yet they also said no such genocide occurred. They say that Armenians killed their people. "Here you go create another fable" is once again in reference to the Turkish Government making up stories about the genocide. All their churches lay in ruin to this day. The "key" was left in the house not letting them inside. "Why'd you leave the keys up on the table" is referring to the Armenian people not being able to have what is theirs, the homeland. System of a down is also making a reference to them being young girls and running away from their problems, not facing the truth of what they did. "Wake up, Grab a brush and put a little makeup" is referring to the turkish government and how their crimes are so obvious, yet they're trying to cover it up, hence the reference to the makeup. It is an important ambition for them, the Armenian population, and the diaspora to gain world recognition, especially in the United States because its a super power. All the songs are all about getting recognition. No one really talks about it because World War I was happening, and the media didn't focus on that. System of a down is a band of Armenian descent and made their songs about the Armenian genocide that happened in 1915 when the Turks slaughtered over 1.5 million people. Wow actually nobody has the correct understanding of this song. Lastly, the "I cry when angels deserve to die" line symbolizes his death, how sad others will be when a "perfect, happy, carefree" guy kills himself Leaving them somewhere kind of hints that he doesn't care enough to keep track of his own lifeline, that he has left them for someone to find. You see, keys give you access to your home, to that vast majority of you. I think that he is handing over his spirit to God now in hopes that God can bring him a sort of peace.įor the "Why'd you leave the keys up on the table" line, I think that this symbolizes that the speaker (although I don't know if he is the one who actually quoted this)has given up on his life. Sounds like a pretty sad life if you ask me. Living day in and day out having to hide a secret from the rest of the world that keeps bitting him in the rear end. Anyway, I think that the the speaker is angry at God for bringing him so much misfortune, hence the "Why have you forsaken me." bit. First off, I m positive that the speaker is talking to God, not his dad, because if he is going to die, why and how could he command his spirit to his dad, it just doesn't make any sense. Apparently this is a quote from Jesus before he died for us on the cross, but I don't think that this stanza actually refers to Jesus. Of course they wouldn't understand, they just see his outside, not his cold, troubled inside. Now, the speaker states that others don't understand his self-righteous suiside. We see that the person is trying to hide it on the outside (grab a brush and put on a little make-up, hide the scars.)but, of course, the problems, whatever they may happen to be, won't go away. We know that the person is going through hard times because they talk about how he wants to hide "scars" to fade away the "shake up" (fight). The beginning of this song talks about a person who is trying to cover up their problems so that everyone else thinks that they are totally fine. I tried to take the song very directly and make conclusions on what I heard. I have read a lot of interpretations on this song, and many off them are deep and logical, but I have yet to find a single explanation that covers every aspect of the lyrics.

2/18/2024 0 Comments Flood insurance rate mapThe foregoing does not include leaks due to pipe bursts or plumbing issues. Past history and current flood risk affecting any of the leased premises that arise from natural events such as heavy rain, coastal surges, tidal inundation, or river overflows that the lessor knows or reasonably should know has occurred to such premises and the nature of any such damage.Specifically, Section 231-B requires landlords to provide notice of the following: The intent of this new legislation is to increase transparency regarding the risk of flood damage and the availability of insurance to incentivize tenants to obtain adequate protection for their apartments or homes. A condominium unit owner, however, who is leasing his or her apartment will need to comply with the disclosure requirements of Section 231-B. To clarify, because Section 231-B only applies to leases, a condominium board does not have to comply with the new flood disclosures unless the condominium board is leasing out one of the condominium apartments. Accordingly, Section 231-B currently applies to all proprietary leases between coops and their shareholders, subleases between shareholders and their subtenants, and leases between boards/unit owners in condos and their tenants. The new law’s reference to residential leases does not carve out cooperatives (coops) or condominiums (condos). Effective immediately, Section 231-B of New York Real Property Law (Section 231-B) has been amended to require that every existing and prospective residential lease provide a notice to the tenant related to the leased premises’s flood history and risk of flooding. 2/18/2024 0 Comments El buki tour“I have little academic studies,” he admitted during his show.

This Valentine's Day, treat yourself, and your loved ones right with the best candy bar on the market. No matter the small place somehow it transforms into a club in the night. Its good both for a coffee in the afternoon or drinks in the evening. However, it has this real bar feeling and smell. Our chefs are committed to providing quality service and a cozy atmosphere, with great food, friendly staff, and a fully licensed bar.

It reminded me of the color palette of men's athletic wear, or deodorant. Take Five is a tiny bar so when it gets crowded the services gets poor. TAKE 5 - Candy Bar - SmartLabel Candy Bar net wt. At Take Five Bistro, we’re proud to support the local economy. Deciding they needed to appeal to millennials or men or whatever, Hershey re-branded from Take 5's original red packaging to black packaging with slime green accent. Hopefully Hershey keeps with the current packaging and continues to support its number one offspring, especially considering the previous packaging was just hideous. I did too, as I posted an Instagram story about how good the Reese's Take 5 is and then had to immediately amend my statement like a fool! Take Five is my favorite candy The sweet and salty combination is just. "As fans tried both versions, participants lost their minds over the Reese’s Take 5 bars." Reeses Take 5 Pretzel Peanut And Chocolate Candy Bars Snack Size Bag - 11.25 Oz. Apparently Take 5 has always contained the same peanut butter as a Reese's cup, but Hershey was too cowardly to brand it as such, treating the candy bar like the bastard son of an ashamed queen.Īccording to a June press release, when Take 5 first announced the rebranding, Hershey's conducted tests where participants tried the candy in its previous black wrapper, and in the Reese's wrapper. I bought one, thought it was maybe even tastier than an already very tasty candy bar, only to realize that it is the exact same as regular Take 5 bars, just now under the Reese's name. When I saw the Super Bowl commercial, I was excited to try this new version of a Take 5 that somehow incorporated Reese's. It contains pretzels, caramel, peanut butter, peanuts, all coated in a layer of chocolate.Īnd yet, when it comes to candy bar sales, Take 5 is obviously lacking, based on this new slogan. Snickers has been resting on its laurels for years! Meanwhile most people (anecdotally) who eat a Take 5 acknowledge that it's the perfect combination of salty and sweet, crunchy and chewy. The commercial ends with the tagline "the best bar you've never heard of."Įver since I learned of the existence of Take 5, I have been baffled, offended even, that it is not a more popular candy bar. Remove from the heat whisk in brown sugar and granulated sugar. In a medium size saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring frequently. Now marketed as Reese's Take 5, the commercial, which featured an office employee using various figures of speech synonymous with "living under a rock" to shame her coworker, who is actually living under a rock, for not knowing about Take 5.

And don't forget to add them to your Easter candy baskets and Christmas stockings! With this pack of chocolate candy bars, you'll have enough to enjoy no matter where the day takes you. Trick-or-treaters love finding REESE'S TAKE 5 candies in their bags, and so do special Valentine's Day sweethearts. The salty-sweet combination in this kosher candy bar allows it to pair well with a number of ingredients for new and popular dessert recipes. Editor’s Note: Take Five increased prices from their namesake 5 menu last summer and was out of business by the end of the year. REESE'S TAKE 5 candy bars make for a delicious snack at home, in the office and on the go. Enjoy the unique combination of pretzels, caramel, peanut butter, peanuts and milk chocolate candy with this king-size pack of treats. Too often, students sit and listen and do nothing with the information. Most importantly, give meaningful feedback on how students can improve their listening skills. Begin by teaching the three skills good listeners have and then modify sample assignments to assess listening. Do not take for granted that students know how to listen. ■ Teach, assign, assess, and provide feedback on listening explicitly. Below I offer several key ways teachers can modify their practice to embed active listening into their classrooms and build communities that value listening. Teachers create spaces and communities that regularly engage in listening and provide models of what this looks like. Perhaps we can blame this tendency on social media or our political landscape, but as an English teacher and teacher educator, I find myself asking: Have I prepared my students to listen well? Do we, as ELA teachers, teach students the intricate skills of being good listeners? What resources exist to support the teaching of listening?Ĭlassrooms that value listening do more than teach lessons about what good listeners do. We are trained to react and quickly respond without taking the time to absorb ideas and consider an opposing position. In today’s world we so often as listeners focus on formulating our responses that we forget to listen to understand what a person has to say. Winston Churchill once said, “Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” Listening has, unfortunately, become the “new democratic deficit” (Dobson). This game requires students to listen carefully and encourages them to remember important information and details.This post presents an excerpt from Katie Alford’s July 2020 English Journal article, “Explicitly Teaching Listening in the ELA Curriculum: Why and How.” Each time a lie (or change) is read out, the students must stand up. Then ask them to read it aloud again, but to make some changes. Ask one student at a time to come to the front of the class and read aloud a passage which you have chosen, e.g. This game can be a lot of fun, and encourages students to listen to each other.ĭivide the class into two teams A and B. Which two students would like to be famous actors?Īward a point to the first team to answer correctly.Get the students into small teams and ask them to put their hand up if they know the answer to a question, e.g. When all of the students (or half of the students, if you have a large group) have been interviewed, explain that you are going to hold a quiz about the class. Try to make a note of some of the answers. Which country would you most like to visit?.What is your favourite colour/food/band?.Ask the rest of the class to ask them any questions they like (as long as they are not too personal!), A conversation between friends about holidaysĪsk one student at a time to go to the front of the class.This activity works best if you give students a theme or role-play, e.g. You could then ask students to perform their dialogues again to the rest of the class, or to swap with other pairs. When they have finished the conversation, they should check what each other has written and put the two sides of the conversation together. When student A is speaking, student B should write down what they are saying and vice versa. The following activities are a fun way of getting students to concentrate more and to remember information.Īsk students to get into pairs to write a dialogue. Learning to listen to each other more carefully can build their ability and confidence in real-life situations, in which they will need to focus on both listening and speaking.

I don't know enough about the domain to be able to learn more efficiently. Or what the "real" response would look like, or be.Īnd I don't even know that searching on that specific term will solve my problem. When I google "ActionDispatch::TestResponse", not a single response in the first ten responses explains why and how Rails is generating this object instead of a "real" one. It helps me get in deep into the details of what I'm doing, rather than staying at the surface "yay Rails magic" level. On some level this is why I love testing, and I love writing tests first. I've been thinking about it all week, and I still don't know what it means, man. I don't have any actionable takeaway here. Is this "controller tests or not" argument that these guys are having on the issue a real argument about a real technical judgement that I need to understand? Should I write larger tests, using capybara? Should I write smaller tests, for just the views? Is there some kind of version incompatibility between rspec-rails and rails-controller-test? Is there something wrong with the way the tutorial is teaching me to write tests? Is there just something slightly wrong with that rspec test, and I just need to understand a little better what the test is doing? What am I testing, anyway? Are these tests still going to work two years from now? I can delete the rails-controller-test without anything breaking, since it turns out this test isn't using it.īut at the time, I was just thinking: I hate this. It's at this point that I give up, close out the RSpec branch in my git repo, and work on something else for a while.Īs I'm writing this up I notice that the linked issue specifically recommends switching to assert_select, which opens up a whole new avenue of investigation. "This gem brings back assigns to your controller tests as well as assert_template to both controller and integration tests." get is understandably hard to search for, so I fire up pry and run ls From: /Users/notabennett/workspace/environment/sample_app/spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb:7 :Ĥ: scribe "StaticPages", type: :request doĩ: expect(response).to have_http_status(:success)ġ0: assert_select "title", "Home | Ruby on Rails Tutorial Sample App"Īh, and there it is: Rails::Controller::Testing::Integration#methods: delete get head patch post put Get looks like it returns a response, but there's no assignment expression in my code, so it's getting into the execution environment some other way. It's an ActionDispatch::TestResponse, but what exactly is that? How is that object getting created and assigned to the variable? I start trying to figure out what "response" is. Since have_tag is allegedly a wrapper around assert_select, this should be a good opportunity to learn more about how assert_select works under the covers." The response object doesn't respond to methods that the have_tag relies on. The test it asks you to write looks like this: class StaticPagesControllerTest :request doĮxpect(response).to have_http_status(:success)Įxpect(response).to have_tag("title", "Home | Ruby on Rails Tutorial Sample App") This week I got to the part of the "Learn Enough to Be Dangerous" Rails Tutorial where you write a couple of tests for a static page controller. |
