Hazard perception test tips12/14/2023 ![]() Remember, it’s a government run test, so cheating may result in major consequences, so don’t risk it! Good luck with it and remember, with enough practice, you won’t need to feel nervous. When it comes to the big day, remember to bring your provisional driving licence, otherwise you cannot take the test! You can’t bring in personal items such as bags, headphones or your phone, you will be asked to leave those in a locker. If you don’t have that, the’re ways you can access it online too! It goes without saying, but knowing what a hazard is will help you a lot when you take your hazard perception test, as knowing what to look out for is most of the battle. Much like the multiple-choice part of the test, the more practice you have, the more likely you are to pass the test! There are many ways to access resources to practice this part of the test, so don’t worry! There are CDs that are featured in a theory revision pack that allows you to take the hazard perception on your own computer. Simply click once every time you see a developing hazard. ![]() You can only attempt the clip once, so make sure you make it count! Be wary of clicking too much, because if you click too many times during one clip, you could potentially be given a 0 for that, and might lead to your failure. You can score up to 5 points for each developing hazard, the sooner you spot the hazard starting to develop the more points you will score. However, when they step into the road or obstruct your path, that’s a hazard because it forces you to either stop or slow down. You’d need to slow down, so it’s now a developing hazard.’ Similarly, if you see a pedestrian on the pavement walking, that’s not a hazard. When you get closer the car’s right-hand indicator starts to flash and it starts to move away. It wouldn’t cause you to take action, so it’s not a developing hazard. An example that the official government website provides is: ‘A car is parked at the side of the road and isn’t doing anything. You can preview what the clips will look like from this video guide from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency:Ī developing hazard is defined as something that would cause you to take action, like changing speed or direction. You’ll be shown a total of 14 clips which feature every day road scenes containing at least one developing hazard, but one of the clips features 2 developing hazard. The hazard perception part of the test involves watching a series of clips on a computer screen and clicking whenever you see a potential hazard happening. This time means you won’t have to worry about school. Make sure your test won’t clash with school or work commitments, as you want to be able to focus on the test. When booking the test, choose a time that’s convenient for you and arrive early. Knowing how the hazard perception worksĪs we mentioned in our previous blog post, the theory test is broken into two parts: the multiple-choice questions and hazard perception test. Hazard Perception Test Tips VIC (HPT) Booking the test. Here are our top tips on how to prepare for the hazard perception test. Similar to the multiple-choice questions, the more you know about this part of the test and the more you practice it, the more likely you are to pass it. ![]() This week we’re going to talk you through the hazard perception test.

Moleskine notebook12/14/2023 ![]() ![]() Ironically, I ended up earning a PhD in early modern British literature, and while I’ve not become a particularly notable or respected scholar of Milton, I at least make up for it with enthusiasm and love. Since first encountering Milton, I’ve felt my relationship to the poet has somewhat mirrored that old story from Genesis, of Jacob wrestling an angel only to exit the encounter with a new name, except I keep reading Paradise Lost in hopes of discovering what that name might be. Regardless, ever since found him deep within the recesses of the Norton Anthology of British Literature, the bible-paper pages of which would absent-mindedly flip through during class, I’ve been singularly drawn to Milton, this man from a period so foreign to my own, whose faith is so alien to me. Having been the sort of affected English major who took to Moleskine notebooks and cracked-spine copies of Charles Bukowski and Chuck Palahniuk rather than John Donne and George Herbert, Milton wasn’t my ideal author nor I his ideal reader. “Of Man’s first disobedience, and the fruit / Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste / Brought death into the world, and all our woe,” intones the poet in Paradise Lost, still resonating across nearly three-and-a-half centuries, a writer who even when he is dry or slow (and he can be dry and slow) still can turn a phrase and deploy it to stunningly dramatic effect in this epic tale about Satan’s rebellion against God in Heaven and the subsequent fall of humanity and all Creation. I don’t know if I’m any closer to really understanding his greatest work, for that magisterial 1667 poem Paradise Lost is a cosmos unto itself, like Dante’s The Divine Comedy or Melville’s Moby-Dick, but I know that my life wouldn’t be as rich without it. For the past two decades, I’ve read and reread Milton, written about Milton, taught Milton, thought about Milton. Yet that class was also the site of an important discovery: the stern, austere, blind Puritan bard John Milton. In the spring semester of 2004, I was more concerned with Yuengling than I was with Geoffrey Chaucer or the Pearl Poet, so I fully deserved the middling grade that I got. As a sophomore in college, I completely earned the C+ that I received in a survey course called “British Literature.” There could be no blaming of the professor on my end, no skirting responsibility for those missed assignments, no excuse for having confused Belphoebe for Gloriana in Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queeneon multiple choice tests. ![]()

1989 tiananmen square video12/14/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The main issue is in what stuck in people's memory, which was not a detailed account of everything that happened. ![]() He watched the military enter the square and did not observe any mass firing of weapons into the crowds, although sporadic gunfire was heard. Instead, the cables show that Chinese soldiers opened fire on protesters outside the centre of Beijing, as they fought their way towards the square from the west of the city. Slums have to be replaced for us to move forward. But that nostalgia can't stand in the way of progress. I won't get to stand outside that house I used to rent and remember those times. I'll never walk through those old neighborhoods again. It's hard to watch it go, because once it's gone, you know it's never going to come back. They are far preferable to absentee landlords living in other cities. Not that the property management companies are a lot better, but they have more to lose when they fail at maintenance. Those college slums were a symptom of a problem. A friend of mine who went to the same University said that the town was dying. Apartment complexes have sprung in their place. Last year, somehow, those old houses started getting bought up and knocked down. They collect rent, pay taxes, and try to keep whatever percentage of the deposit they can keep without inciting legal action. Instead middle class families buy them as "investments," and then invest no further money in them. Nobody with a real income wants to live in the old homes anymore. Students tended to live in homes built during or shortly after WWII or in corporate apartment complexes. I went to school in the early 2000s in a college town like many others I have seen. Same as if European tourists started taking pictures of detroit and claiming that america was bad because of how terrible their cities look, when its just detroit. Which reminds me of a quote from korea that westerners see villages and see something artistic while the locals see it as a disgrace because of the poverty and lack of sanitation. A lot of them pointed out how dirty and grey the hutongs are, because of how long they lasted. Some complained that western tourists only liked to see the poorer side of china(the hutongs) then the newer one just to feel superior. They are in fact slums and most of them agree that building newer apartments in its place because is better, because not only would the infrastructure be improved but more people would be able to live in the areas the hutongs had previously occupied. In the opinion of most beijingers, although hutongs art a part of beijing's history. My parents are from china so i had the chance to go to beijing in winter of 2008. Run! Run while you still can!

How much money does a pro gamer make12/14/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() During his VCT North America Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs watch party, Shroud said, “When you stream, you provide so much more value to the organization, so they’re worth more money.” He also mentioned that the average earning of Valorant pros like Spencer “Hiko” Martin, Shahzeeb “ShahZaM” Khan, or Tyson “TenZ” Ngo might be much higher since they are prominent streamers on Twitch.
