If you only know the right answers to the sample questions, you won’t be prepared for the real thing. Memorizing these questions and answers will not be very helpful on the actual test because it is unlikely to have any of the same exact questions.

Azide (N 3 ) is the nucleophile, and iodide (I ) is the leaving group.Note that, although fluorine is a halogen, fluoride (F ) does not follow the group trend and is not a good leaving group due to its small size. Even if the explanation makes sense, go back and investigate every concept related to the question until you’re positive you have a thorough understanding. Although the reactants may look complicated, this reaction is actually just a classic S N 2 reaction. However, an explanation likely only covers part of the question’s broader context. It can be tempting to read the explanation and think that you now have a good understanding of the concept. Answer ExplanationsĪdditionally, many PCAT practice tests have a section explaining the answer choices. Was it because you didn’t understand the material? Was it because you didn’t remember the vocabulary? Do you need more repetitions on this type of question to build speed and confidence? Dig into those questions and figure out how you can strengthen your weak areas as you go back to review the material. Ask yourself why each of these questions gave you trouble.

![]() ![]() No blood thinners or other drugs are known to impact SneakPeek gender results. SneakPeek looks only for the presence of Y chromosomes and is extremely sensitive and accurate. SneakPeek is a DNA-based test, so hormones do not impact results. ![]() For fraternal twins (or more!), finding male DNA will confirm at least one baby is a boy, but cannot distinguish if the second is a boy or girl.ĭo hormone disorders such as PCOS affect my results? If no male DNA is found, then both babies are girls. In the case of identical twins, if male DNA is found, then both babies are boys. Can SneakPeek determine fetal sex for each one? Will that skew my results?Ĭlinical studies have shown that fetal DNA clears from mum’s bloodstream between a few hours to 2 days after birth. The SneakPeek test is sensitive enough to find even a single Y chromosome, giving you confidence in your results. Starting with a small sample of your blood, plasma is separated from whole blood by centrifuge, and extracted cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is analyzed for Y chromosomes, which are found only in males. SneakPeek is 99.9% accurate at 6 weeks into pregnancy.Īt SneakPeek Labs, a test process called non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is used to analyze cell-free fetal DNA. If male chromosomes are found, that means baby is a boy. SneakPeek looks for male chromosomes in a small sample of your blood. ![]() While every person has her own DNA in her bloodstream, a pregnant woman’s bloodstream also contains DNA from her unborn child. ![]() ![]() ![]() That’s so much of its appeal-that for all its (semi-)sinister complexity-it’s also great to dance to. And no, first time out we didn’t bother to comment on how funky and fucky this song is. ![]() One thing I’m interested in, in all of this, is that these issues are still so live almost a quarter century later that for all the reams of feminist (and other-ist) criticism the late twentieth century produced, we’ve got not just a can of worms but an intractably tangled knot of worms on our hands here. There’s that “please” again, right alongside the ambiguity of at once issuing commands and comparing oneself to a machine. (I very much like that “child,” which you can read either as that Susan is a brand new convertible-child-a scary notion-or in the “Oooh, CHILD” sense.) The song’s premise is that the singer compares herself to all manner of spanky-new inanimate objects to prove she can please whoever she’s talking to. I’m thinking about that other Vanity 6 song “Drive Me Wild,”-musically it’s pretty far inferior to “Nasty Girl,” and it was written and performed by Susan Moonsie, not by Vanity herself, but I think its subject is relevant. ![]() What kind of power is it, after all, to be asked to front a band not because of any intrinsic desire or even talent, but because you look the way you do? A certain kind, to be sure. I think it is, and actually a pretty smart one, in that it doesn’t assert either of the easy sides of the argument (i.e., either the gazer or she who holds the gaze being empowered) but ricochets between them, which may be why there’s that infinite regression in who’s imagining what in the song’s set up. (This would, after all, be one culturally sanctioned way of proving she’s a nasty girl.) In both senses that’s a nice tie-in to the Prince as (Weird Genius Ambisexual) pimp scenario you mention, and to the question of whether this is ultimately a song about power. Thanks for the Wolk sections on James Brown, as well they do shed some light on the “I’m down on my knees / I’m begging you please / I say please” bit of “Nasty Girl.” Somehow I hadn’t managed to connect the “down on my knees” of begging (whether with histrionic or masochistic intent) with the “down on my knees” of fellatio, which Vanity’s no doubt referencing. You’re quite right that the emotional valence of “Nasty Girl” and “Sugar in My Bowl” couldn’t be more different though I would argue that across Nina Simone’s work, whenever she talks about something “down in my soul” she means her hoo-hoo. “I need a little hot dog in my roll”? And the whole gruff command bit at the end? How sublime and ridiculous thanks for attaching it. The Bessie Smith version of “ Need Some Sugar in My Bowl” is unbelievable. In memoriam, we’re sharing this ’06 exchange from the late, lamented Moistworks, the music blog founded by James Morris and more or less edited by Alex Abramovich. By Alex Abramovich and Emily Barton FebruIn Memoriamĭenise Matthews-aka Vanity-died this week, at the age of fifty-seven. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the early 1990s, researchers at academic institutions developed Deepfake technology, which was later fine-tuned by developers in online communities. These techniques improved rapidly with digital video. If it detects anything subpar, it will give you the quota back.Various techniques to manipulate images were introduced in the 19 century and later applied to motion pictures. The best part I didn't realize is if there are any bad fakes (you choose) you can actually redeem the bad ones and get that quota back. I, like you all, just want a tool that works and if I have to pay for it, so be it. Trust me, I'm def not a paid reviewer or anything. There's a very good chance I may have just been lucky. I may be one of the only ones with total success with this but it is not my first rodeo with sketchy sites and payment so I wanted to share my experience with you guys and that it IS legit, but your experience may vary. Again.totally shocked at the user friendliness. And if the site freezes during a fake it will detect it wasn't used and will give you that quota back. ![]() So even though I paid for 500 I probably got close to 550 or 560. But DNGG refunded me the some of what I thought were kinda okay fakes. It is more likely you get them redeemed if you use an older sukebe version like 1.0 or 2.0 (you can downgrade in settings) 2.0+ only let me redeem iffy fakes like 25% of the time, only if they were wayyy off. If it detects anything subpar, it will give you the quota back. But may be worth the extra money and easier payment if you want quality over quantity from the DNGG payment and don't want to pay with crypto with the normal sukebe payment. Interestingly enough, results using DNGG Are quite a bit better actually in all the tests I've tried. I ended up having 500 fakes total and most of which were waaaaay better than the free referral size limited version. Heard about the people not getting the emails but took a gamble anyway and it actually paid off. Password didn't work at first (expected that) but they sent an email later that day saying there was a bug and it was fixed (did NOT expect that) Though it took way less time for the DNGG one, it was more expensive to use a debit card. It worked surprisingly well and was pretty quick (<10 minutes) They give you the exact amount and address to send and the email back with the ticket is pretty much instant (after the crypto transaction confirms)Ĭuriosity got the best of me so I also purchased the DNGG version so I could try the card payment if the crypto one didn't go through and it too worked well and they DID send me the email, like within five minutes if I remember right. I just bit the bullet and figured if I lose 40 bucks I lose 40 bucks. There really should be a free one without blurring, but I understand why they did it. Once they stopped referrals and blurred the output image, I came to the conclusion that nothing else comes close so its worth paying for. At least the resolution was good even if the fake itself was kinda iffy. It took ten times as long but I endured the pain. I up-rezed the results from the free deepsukebe referrals using Topaz Labs Gigapixel AI and Remini for the faces if needed. Not perfect, very hit and miss but got the job done and was very passable. ![]() I paid for Sukebezone when it first came out when it was unlimited and was actually working, and when the sukebe devs nerfed it and the option of mass faking hundreds of pictures at once went down, I ended up using the free version on deepsukebe's site with a VPN and kept changing the server to get 4 new quotas each time. I was skeptical as well but took the plunge last week because it's literally THE best deepnude tool on the internet.

In no case should lightweight materials-setting or premixed-be used to touch up veneer plaster. The NWCB only recommends setting-type compounds for this work. This means very minor touch up and not skimming out the wall with this product. The entire crew should be made aware that it is acceptable with veneer plaster to do "minor touch-up" work with joint compound. A sample wall or room should be completed and inspected by responsible parties prior to continuing. Walls or areas that will be subject to natural or permanent critical lighting will need special attention. In most cases, the minor amount of money they saved during initial veneer installation is eaten up by the remedies now required.Ī wall and ceiling contractor should verify that the plasterers he sends out are experienced with veneer plaster. A few have gone as far as to state this is an "industry standard" and the way it is always done.Īfter the wall and ceiling contractor loses his argument, he is then typically faced with how to resolve the problem. ![]() The disturbing trend is that some of these contractors believe it is perfectly acceptable to skim the wall out with joint compound. It is often found that there is a veneer plaster under a thin coat of soft joint compound. This would lead designers and building owners to question if they got a specified veneer plaster system. A multitude of nicks, gouges, scrapes and scratches leave owners upset with the veneer plaster as a system. The NWCB has done many site investigations over the last few years, where building owners have complained that the veneer plaster simply does not live up to the abuse resistance that is claimed. The practice of skimming the hard veneer with a soft joint compound defeats the primary intent of the veneer plaster in the first place: abuse resistance. More often than not, a lightweight joint compound was used for easy sanding. To make the job "sellable," they often resort to skimming the entire surface with joint compound and sanding the surface to a smooth finish. This would lead to having trouble achieving a smooth finish, free of trowel marks, voids, catfaces and other imperfections. Some have resorted to semi-skilled tradesmen to keep up with schedules. Unfortunately, many wall and ceiling contractors and tradespeople may have overstated their abilities to provide a smooth veneer plaster system. There is a combination of items that created a perfect storm that has occurred in the world of interior plaster, namely, the creation of lightweight joint compounds and an increase loss of skilled interior plasterers. Since perfection is not obtainable, plasterers would often have to go back and touch-up minor imperfections after the plaster set and dried. The fat is then used to fill small blemishes and voids, sometimes called "catfaces." This process is the key to a good, smooth trowel finish veneer plaster system. The idea behind hard water troweling is to bring the "fat" out of the plaster while compacting the surface. (The true two-coat system with an aggregate basecoat is more abuse resistant and allows the plaster crew some additional time to work the material.) A one-coat system is the finish coat applied in two passes. Two-coat systems use a veneer plaster basecoat that has some aggregate in the plaster. Veneer plaster can be one- or two-coat systems. When properly installed, they will get a system that is hard to beat when you consider the service life of a building. In both systems, architects specify veneer plaster to provide their clients a lower maintenance to the walls. Most designers think of this type of veneer plaster as an upgrade to a conventional gypsum board system. The residential type of veneer plaster is a little easier to trowel to a smooth finish and still provides a finish surface much harder than traditional gypsum board finish. The institutional type is very hard, dense and provides a finished surface that has proven to stand up to the everyday abuses common in buildings such as police stations, schools and hospitals. The NWCB refers to them often as the residential type and then the institutional/commercial type. There are two basic types of veneer plaster systems. ![]() |
