First Drive! 2020 Shelby GT500 Is an Apex Predator, Turning Drivers Into Track Stars
Steve TurnerAuthorCourtesy Ford Motor CompanyPhotographer
Unwinding the Alcantara-wrapped wheel and squeezing on the power, the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires dig into the pavement as 625 lb-ft of torque plants the driver in the Recaro seats. The pro driver angel on the shoulder hinted to go full throttle. In a leap of faith, our right foot shoves the loud pedal to the floorboard as the 2.65L TVS blower whooshes boost into the Predator 5.2, as the DCT smoothly rips through the gears till the car reaches triple-digit speeds.
The car delivers just like Billy Johnson said it would. When it's time to throw out the anchor the massive Brembo calipers bite down on the solid rotors. At these speeds the brakes are a revelation. The ABS pulses and Ford Performance's halo Mustang slows to a manageable speed until it's time to pounce on the power again. Each lap builds confidence and speed until the hot laps are suddenly over.
In its most aggressive form, the Track Package-equipped GT500 is a menacing monster with the manners of a finishing school grad.
As we piloted the 2020 Shelby GT500 fitted with the Carbon Fiber Track Package around the Las Vegas Speedway Road Course, it was hard to process that this was a Shelby GT500. Not that this mark hasn't always been the top-dog Mustang, but this car was something else all together. Where the prior iterations focused on big power and straight-line speed, this car delivers cornering capability above any Mustang that preceded it. That gift is even more pronounced with a pro driver behind the wheel.
For a passing moment, the proximity to Area 51 made use wonder what sort of alien technology enabled a car that tilts the scales over 4,000 pounds to perform at this level. It turns out, it is just a combination of clever technology and engineering that elevated the S550 platform to a point that it can challenge supercars on the road course and dedicated drag machines on the 1,320.
An All-Around Beast
"The GT500 is a very all-encompassing car. You've got a vehicle that has to be top notch on the road, as far as its road manners. It's got to be top-notch on the dragstrip, and it's got to perform on the road course," said Steve Anderson, vehicle dynamics engineer at Ford Performance.
When engineers were charged with creating a machine that would excel in every facet, it was daunting, but rather than turning to otherworldly technology they used computerized engineering and a real-world testing to create a machine that plants 760 hp and 625 lb-ft of torque with ease, making any driver feel like a world-beater.
Each Ford Performance product is born with the mission of flattering the novice and rewarding the expert, but the latest GT500's mission set that bar higher than ever before. Engineers accomplished the daunting mission of creating a jack of all trades that masters them all on this car, which received numerous updates including revised ABS, EPAS, and MagneRide calibrations to complement its new high-trail steering knuckles and 16.5-inch two-piece rotors clamped by the aforementioned Brembo six-piston calipers.
"The 2020 GT350R and the GT500 both share a similar methodology as far as the knuckle kinematics. They're not the same though. The casting is the same, but the machining is different and that's basically to get the roll-center heights correct for both of them. If you just put the 500 knuckle on the 350R it's not going to really give you quite the right roll center," Anderson said.
As the Tremec TR-9070 smoothly flows through the gear changes, the GT500 eclipses 130 mph before its time hit the brakes hard and dart through another turn. The grip, enabled by the suspension geometry and sticky tires, is incredible. The DCT keeps the car in its sweet spot even if the driver makes an error. Then its software takes lateral acceleration into consideration and reels things back under control.
The performance is flat-out impressive. As if engineers supercharged the grip and handling to keep pace with the power under hood, the car sticks in sections where another car might break the rear free. This machine simply stays planted and takes the power. It certainly lives up its moniker, but this GT500 is really something else. Where its predecessors were straight-line monsters, this one can carve up a track even better than its GT350 cousin and cover the quarter-mile on par with its lighter predecessor.
By now regular readers know all there is to know about the 760hp Predator 5.2L engine powering the 2020 Shelby GT500. Boosted by a 2.65L EATON TVS supercharger, it belts out impressive power that the highly evolved chassis and transmission apply to the pavement with ease. Perhaps even more impressively, the car's six heat exchangers deliver as-promised cooling that keeps the performance level high even after repeated road-course laps or quarter-mile passes.
"Really one of the things about making this car work very well is to make sure that your tire power matches the weight distribution and what the needs are on both ends of your car. You gotta get the power down and you've got to be able to turn, getting the front end to respond and everything else to respond," Anderson said.
It's really a version of the Mustang that we haven't seen before, and a lot of its prowess is enabled by the Tremec TR-9070 DCT dual-clutch transmission. It uses a wet-clutch system and seven non-sequential helical gears to put the engine in just the right rpm range in as quick as 80 milliseconds.
Enabled by highly sophisticated transmission control module programming, the DCT doesn't just get the job done with quick shifts. Instead it relies on a number of parameters as obvious as throttle position, engine speed and gear or as intriguing as lateral acceleration, wheel speed, and drive mode to shift at the right moment and quickness. This is especially effective in the Drag and Track modes where overtorque shifts take a bit longer but propel the car more quickly.
"So we shift right at the red line," said George MacDonald, transmission and driveline engineering supervisor at Ford Performance. "When you're doing a Sport mode shift, that's where we do a torque mod. It's quick, it's fun, and it pops. The tach is super-fast, but it's not necessarily the best performance shift. So when you transition to a straight-line Track Mode shift or a Drag Mode shift, we take zero torque mod. There's no spark retard, there's no dropping of fuel, there's no fuel cuts. We leave everything"
On the road course it senses the car going sideways and adjusts the shifts to bring the car back under control. It does so whether the shifts were commanded by the car or indicated by the driver with the paddles. It can accommodate either. If the car is going straight in Track or Drag mode those over-torque shifts, which carry past the 7,300 rpm power peak to the redline, deliver maximum power while the transmission clutches bring the engine speed down on the shifts to smooth out the transitions and gently push the car forward.
Meanwhile, on the dragstrip, this prowess was particularly evident. Ford lists the GT500's official quarter-mile elapsed time at 10.7 seconds. While impressive, we are certain it was achieved by a skilled driver on a prepped track in much cooler conditions than we saw on a sunny afternoon in Nevada.
We hit The Strip at Las Vegas Motorsport Speedway to just how well it performed in a straight line and it was almost as impressive as the car on the road course. Paired with the car's onboard line lock and launch control features, the latest GT500 turns the dragstrip into a video game in real life. If the track is there, you need only get a good burnout, pick the right launch control rpm, and find the sticky part of the track to click off an impressive elapsed time.
If you don't live for heated and cooled seats, we found the optional Recaro seats quite comfortable in daily use and supportive on the track. However, in full disclosure the cars we drove on the road course featured roll cages and we were strapped in with five-point racing harnesses. We also wore helmets and HANS devices, so support was definitely augmented, which is in line with the performance level of these cars.
After getting used to the electronic assistants, we focused on dialing in the rpm of the launch control and finding spot on the track to hold the power. Turning the traction control off, setting the line lock, and smoking the rear tires, the GT500 rolled out of the burnout. Shallow staging with scant sticky strips of track ahead we stood on the gas. The rev limiter popped at 1,800 rpm, the lights dropped, and as the lights came down the brake pedal disengaged. The stock tires hooked and the car thrust forward, hurtling the GT500 toward the finish line with a gentle nudge at each shift.
The result wouldn't set the world on fire, but it was just outside the magical 10-second range at 11.10 seconds on the merit of a 1.88-second 60-foot time. It rocketed through the traps at over 130 mph. Given more time to dial in the launch rpm, 10 seconds e.t. 's were within reach, as we witnessed another GT500 launch at 2,000 rpm and run a 10.96.
While the elapsed times were potent for the 4,147-pound base GT500, it was really the way the car achieved those numbers that impressed more. At elevation after repeated laps it ran low elevens without so much as a change in tire pressure. Moreover, the car's electronics apply the power to the track so efficiently and the DCT shifts so smoothly such a pass lacks drama, even if it the track gives up a bit of wheelspin. The driver simply stands on the gas and enjoys the ride.
"From the dragstrip perspective, the PS4S is a little bit better tire and you get more weight transfer with the softer spring that's on the GT500," Anderson explained of the base car's advantages for a straight-line environment over the Track Package option.
That more compliant ride also translates to bit more comfort on the street, which is where our first dalliance with the 2020 Shelby GT500 began. Driving the car at street speeds was like celebrating your birthday without cake, but despite being a caged animal the new GT500 proved really streetable—even with the Carbon Fiber Track Package.
In normal mode it was silent and compliant, and in Sport mode it was fun for those occasional extra-curricular squirts of full-throttle. However, what truly impressed was just how easy and comfortable the car was to drive, even on rough highway surfaces that would have had previous Mustang generations under the sway of the pavement's imperfections.
"So a lot of it is definitely that geometry, and some of that is in the tire itself. That kind of tramlining is a function of geometry, tire, and there's a lot of different factors and those types of things. The 500 is very robust to it," Anderson explained.
In our experience the GT500 was immune to the road's imperfections, and even with the more aggressive suspension it was quite pleasant on the road. The only real complaints we could register after the street driver were nitpicking the placement of the shift selector dial and the diminished rear visibility created by the massive carbon-fiber wing.
In all, if you have been following our previous coverage on this car, you know a lot of engineering went into a car designed to do it all. The extended buildup to its release created some elevated expectations that could easily result in disappointment, but that's definitely not the case here. The 2020 Shelby GT500 is a triple-threat automatic weapon that even makes an automotive writer feel like a race car driver.
Of course, this kind of performance doesn't come at an entry-level price—the cars we drove carried sticker prices ranging from $81,000 to $94,000—but if you want to drive the first Mustang supercar and have the means, we can't recommend this muscular masterpiece highly enough.
The $18,500 Question
While it was easy to fall in love with the supercar-stalking road course performance of the 2020 Shelby GT500 equipped with the Carbon Fiber Track Package, we needed to know what the base Shelby was like on the track. As luck would have it Ford had a couple base cars on hand optioned up with the Handling Package, which adds a Gurney flap and splitter wickers for $1,500.
"So the GT500 and the Track Pack, they're slightly different, I would say, in terms of the spectrum that they cover. So the Track car is very much biased toward that track stuff. It's got carbon wheels, which help with stiffness and response and the Sport Cup 2s. It's got a lot of things that help it. It's still very, very good on the road," Anderson explained.
The base GT500 with the Handling Package is considerably more affordable than Carbon Fiber Track Package option that includes 20-inch exposed carbon-fiber wheels, Michelin Pilot Cup Sport 2 tires, a rear-seat delete, an exposed carbon-fiber instrument panel, an exposed carbon-fiber GT4 track wing, adjustable strut top mounts Recaro leather-trimmed seats, splitter wickers, a wheel locking kit, and an oil separator. Additionally, the Track Package cars get some unique steering, braking, and suspension calibrations to maximize the improved hardware.
Of course, the $18,500 question is whether or not this option is worth price of used 2019 Fiesta ST. In essence you could have a base GT500 and a like-new hot hatch to carve corners alongside your base GT500 generalist for the same price. In theory, that sounds like a fun way to go, but having been awed by the Carbon GT500's on-track prowess, we strapped into the base car and took to the track to examine the true efficacy of the pricier option.
Not long after exiting the first corner at speed we wished he had climbed up the option ladder instead of down. This base car has more body roll as you enter the corner and is far more likely to break the rearend loose under power on corner exit. Just as there is a significant delta between the Shelby GT350 and GT350R, there is a significant performance gap between the base GT500 and the Track Package.
Of course that is to be expected, as the Track Package option is geared specifically toward the road course. That's where it excels. The base car performs well on the track; it just requires a different driving style that keeps its broader tuning target in mind.
In short, if you are a corner-carving addict who plans to road race this car on the regular basis, then by all means check the box and get the Track Package. For enthusiasts with broader interests like drag racing and daily driving, the base car is where it's at. However, if you end up driving a Carbon car at one of those way cool Track Tour stops, you just might not be able to resist the allure of this amazing setup.
2020 Shelby GT500 Transmission
As impressive as 2020 Shelby GT500's the supercharged Predator engine and honed S550 chassis make this car, the real star of the show is between the 5.2L engine and the independent rear suspension.
That star is the Tremec TR-9070 dual-clutch transmission, which features a wet clutch, integrated mechatronics, optimized oil management, precise clutch controls, and highly optimized transmission controls. The seven-speed's transmission control module knows when to shift for maximize performance based on intense development work by engineers and consultants like road racing star Billy Johnson.
Johnson says that the trans shifts where he would want it to, and that the car is only about half a second quicker per lap if he takes over control with the paddles. Mere mortals are best served letting the transmission controls do the work unless they want to just shift for the fun of it.
That is the case on the road course and the dragstrip. The software and transmission are optimized for this application, and we had to step back and reflect on what it would be like to try and put down this kind of power with a manual transmission. It simply wouldn't be possible to run as consistently quick with human shifting in either venue.
The DCT deftly handles the stock engine output under repeated track laps and dragstrip passes, but we know these cars will get modded and produce far more horsepower. How it will hold up remains to be seen, as engineers develop to a target and don't really consider what happens beyond that. They do, however, develop it for extended use, which means it is built to survive harsh treatment.
"So what we did is went past the 90th percentile. We actually tested to the 95th percentile. We added a little track supplement of 5,000 kilometers of track time, so we add that on top of that, we want to make sure this is robust, right? And this trans is only designed for our application. This thing doesn't go anywhere else, so it's very targeted," explained George MacDonald, transmission and driveline engineering supervisor at Ford Performance. "Now, having said that, if we were to design for 700 lb-ft instead of 625 or a 1,000 horsepower, you know, or whatever, something more than 760. Then you are going to add mass and weight, and it's going to affect the overall vehicle performance."
So the transmission's heft is in line with the car's factory performance level, but that said, its official torque capacity is 664 lb-ft, so there is at least a 39 lb-ft buffer for that first round of mods


COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina is among the latest states to run out of pentobarbital, the anesthetic that comes first in the state's three-drug method for executions by lethal injection. . . . Corrections Director Bryan Stirling recently told The Associated Press the state's supply of pentobarbital expired in September 2013 and was discarded, as its effectiveness had worn off.


Gennady Golovkin is tied with Bernard Hopkins for the most consecutive defenses of a middleweight championship. Hopkins, who is a partner in the company that promotes Canelo Alvarez, who faces Golovkin on Saturday night in Las Vegas, and can stop Golovkin from surpassing the "Alien" in the history books.
Even with that, the thing that truly bothers Hopkins is people comparing Golovkin to Marvin Haggler.
Hagler ruled the middleweight division with an iron fist from September 1980 until a controversial split decision with "Sugar" Ray Leonard in 1987, which would send a disenchanted Hagler into retirement.
"That must be them millennials saying that," Hopkins told BoxingScene.com about the comparison between Golovkin and Hagler. "Because nobody in they right mind – now there's one thing promoting boxing and promoting the middleweight division, and you can exaggerate a little bit and have some fun. I understand this is a fun time and some conversations that you have, this is what's called fun. When you say certain things, when you talk about Marvin Hagler and Triple-G, it's disrespectful to Marvin Hagler.

Original Austro-Hungarian WWI Inert "Lakos" Pipe Fragmentation Hand Grenade
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a totally inert BATF complaint deactivated Austro-Hungarian "Lakos" Pipe Hand Grenade, as used during WWI. This is unable to be used as a destructive device and is not available for export.
Many of the early hand grenades in use during the first few months of the war, across all the combatant nations, were improvised explosive devices, tins full of bits of metal or anything likely to cause damage, often attached to handles for easier throwing. The Austro-Hungarian Army was no different, and this is one such example; the "Lakos" pipe grenade.
These are named after the man who developed them, Captain Róbert Lakos, pioneer officer of the Royal Hungarian 4th Honvéd Infantry Regiment. The design was relatively simple and easy to manufacture, even with items on hand in the trenches. One would take a pipe or other cylinder, and cut it into a nice size for throwing. Usually 6 - 8 grooves to aid in fragmentation would then be added, and the pipe was then filled with explosives and sometimes shrapnel. The ends were then plugged, sometimes with metal caps, and sometimes just with wood.
As these were mostly improved, the end results varied widely in shape and size. This example has 5 grooves, and measures 5 ½ inches with a width of 1 ⅝ inches. One end is plugged with iron or steel, while there is a wooden plug on the other end, with a nail attached to it. We have not been able to determine the ignition method for this grenade, but it most likely was installed on the wood plugged end.
Condition is very good, with some small areas of pitting and a nice finish. Many of these were used in the mountains of the alps, so they often were found long after WWI.
A very nice example of a rare early grenade from the Great war, ready to display!
Hand grenades used in World War I were hand-thrown bombs filled with explosive material (TNT, amatol, or cheddite) and typically either impact or time-detonated. The first British grenade, the Mark 1 developed in 1908, was mounted on a long, sixteen-inch throwing handle and detonated on impact, while early French F-1 (Fusante No 1) grenades, first produced in 1915, were equipped with a percussion cap system igniting a timed fuse. The contemporary German grenade, the Model 24 Stiehlhandgranate ("stick grenade"), was also equipped with a throwing handle and a timed fuse ignited via pull-string striker. Some World War I grenades, especially early in the war while warring nations were still increasing weapons production, were improvised devices of little more than explosives and fragments loaded into tin cans such as the Australian "Jam Tin Grenade'' with a fuse which had to be lit before being thrown. When the British Mark 1 proved unsatisfactory, it was succeeded by the Mark 5 "Mills Bomb" beginning in 1915. The Germans also fielded improved grenades such as the Model 17 Eierhandgranate, or "Egg Grenade."
Most grenade designs such as the British Mills Bomb and the German Stick and Egg Grenades served into World War II. The French F-1 was so popular that it was issued to both the United States and Soviet Union and served as the basis for the US MkI and MkII "Pineapple" grenades and the Soviet F-1.
Used by every major belligerent in the First World War, grenades were initially seen as a solution to the stalemate of trench warfare and since grenade employment focused on trench clearing, early organization and employment techniques were similar for both sides. British forces employed a "bombing reserve" composed of nine soldiers. Led by a non-commissioned officer, these specialists included two grenade throwers, two grenade carriers, two bayonet men, and two soldiers in reserve. Another type of Allied "bombing squad," also composed of nine soldiers, was led by one team of four: a point man, a grenadier, a grenade carrier, and the team leader, followed by the squad leader and another four-man team. French escouades de grenadiers (grenade thrower sections), which were mirrored by American forces upon their arrival in 1917, included two grenadiers, two assistant grenadiers, two grenade carriers and one reserve soldier, all led by a corporal. The Germans initially manned their Handgranatentruppen (hand grenade teams) with six to eight volunteers who were selected based on their courage and strength to conduct the mission. This was formalized by 1916 into a nine-man Handgranatengruppe (hand grenade squad), similar to Allied formations. Operating in close proximity to the enemy, i.e. within the hand grenade throwing range of twenty to forty-five yards (eighteen to forty-one meters), the hand grenade formations were armed with pistols and knives for close quarters fighting, in addition to standard rifles and bayonets.

For ten years, British artist Piers Secunda has been capturing the violent manifestations of geopolitics using industrial floor paint. He described himself to me as merely "a guy who collects bullet damage," however, the downplaying ends there. Currently, at the Thomas Jaeckel Gallery in Chelsea, Secunda is exhibiting a collection of recent works that use damage from ISIS gunfire, collected from the recently ISIS-liberated regions of Iraq. Speaking to The Architect's Newspaper (AN), he explained his work in more detail.
"I'm trying to make a forensic quality record, [it] has to be as accurate as possible," Secunda, said, talking of the bullet holes he has accumulated and is now exhibiting. His process involves making molds of bullet holes and then placing their negatives into historical friezes (a video can be seen below). The result of this process is a series of ancient replica reliefs, nearly all of which appear to have been targets in a firing range. Indeed, it was at a firing range where Secunda first delved into the process of bullet hole collection. In Pudong, China, he and a colleague (of sorts) "chatted their way into" a People's Liberation Army firing range used for executions. After a "long convoluted lie," Chinese officers shot some paint for Secunda and thus his foray into collecting such artifacts began.
To "collect" the bullet holes, Secunda uses alginate—a substance usually used in dentistry—and mixes it with a hardener in his hands and then stuffs it into the bullet hole. The mold takes approximately five minutes to set after which Secunda has to rather forcibly pry from the cavity. After this, he goes home to make a high-resolution facsimile of the mold using a high-grade silicone.
And so to 532 West 25th Street at the Thomas Jaeckel Gallery. Hung against a blue wall are industrial paint-made reliefs that have these bullet hole negatives set into them. The reliefs range in scale: smaller, Assyrian ones depict hunters and bulls and have smaller bullet holes forged into them; meanwhile, larger, thicker friezes like replicas from the Pergamon Altar span more than fifteen inches and show The Temple of Zeus. In these instances, numerous reliefs are shown, with each having more bullet holes embedded into them. In all these cases, the friezes have a history that can be traced back to where ISIS has been—and inevitably caused destruction.
Speaking of the latter example, Secunda described how Zeus lost his body (replaced by bullet damage) and the impact he strives for. "The sensitivity of the interaction with those holes and the rest of the composition heightens the work," he said. "To try and take a figurative sculpture put holes through it in a way that heightens its context and its validity as an image and as a story, that's where the challenge is." In a sense, Secunda is time-stamping the violence that ISIS brought and placing it in an accessible medium that nearly all Westerners will be able to experience.
Piers Secunda: ISIS Bullet Hole Paintings is on show through May 6 at the Thomas Jaeckel Gallery.

An Android vulnerability has been uncovered which allows attackers to modify apps in an undetected way without compromising the apps signatures.
According to Guard Square, the flaw (CVE-2017-13156) allows a file to be a valid APK and DEX file at the same time. Depending on the targeted application, a hacker can get hold of sensitive data and information that may be stored on the device or take over the device completely.
The Janus vulnerability has compromised Android 5.0 and newer devices. Google has released a patch to its OEM partners so once a new update is available it is imperative that it is implemented. Updates should be installed across all devices and where possible software should be set to update automatically.
Your organisation should consider the devices that employees are allowed to use on the company network, more information on securing your business through device control can be found here.
A recent survey from Apricorn of more than 400 IT professionals from a large variety of industries revealed that most employees use USB drives yet companies are leaving themselves vulnerable to data breaches as their use is ineffectively monitored.
Within the report, Apricorn have said "With the ever-increasing amount of data breaches and compromises, companies need to carefully monitor what data is being created in their organisations and what is leaving." Nearly 80% of the responses have said that the protection of confidential information stored on USB drives is a high priority.
Protecting data is a legal duty. Cyber Essentials provides a framework, backed by the UK government, for businesses to improve their information security. More information can be found here.
Data breaches can affect any size of the company, large or small, reporting data breaches will be a key part of the coming General Data Protection Regulation. Organisations of all sizes will have to comply with the coming of GDPR or be at risk of punitive fines. A support pack and compliance guide can be found here.
Security researchers claim that they have discovered a database that contains 1.4 billion breached credentials, one of the largest data breaches discovered on the dark web.
According to Julio Casal, co-founder of 4IQ (a dark web analysis firm), the list is said to be nearly two times as big as the previous largest breach, an Exploit.in database that exposed 797 million records.
It is an aggregated interactive database that allows for fast searches and new breach imports. Hackers will be able to automate account hijacking or account takeover due to the fact that people reuse passwords across their emails, social media, online shopping, banking and even work accounts. The most popular password that has been used is "123456" which has been used over 9.2 million times, followed closely by the password "123456789" which has been used over 3.2 million times.
Password control should be implemented on all devices. Password policies should be developed that contain rules for password length and password complexity. The same password should be never be used for different accounts and password should not be shared. Where possible Two Factor Authentication should be implemented. Staff should also be made aware of the importance of having strong and separate passwords, more information on how to keep your business secure can be found here.

Eli is feeling better. The throwing up as stopped and slowly he is getting his appetite back. But boy, I'm tired!
At 12:30 yesterday I had to pick up Sara from summer school. Eli and I packed up ourselves and the "just in case bowl" too.
While driving I thought - let's go out to eat. I deserve it - this past day has been rough. The thought passed and my new and improved frugal mind kicked in - I'm so close to the end of the month - to the end of our No Fast Food Month . Problem was, I had a real craving for a good burger. So I made one at home instead - with what I had on hand.
The burgers were made simply with ground beef, garlic salt and cheddar cheese.
I had no hamburger buns - but hotdog buns worked just fine. While the burgers were cooking I picked these cucumbers from the garden! Yeah!! This is my first time ever eating something that I grew. Yum!
well done, Dana! The burgers look really good and that important addition of the cucumbers is very special. I hope these cucumbers are just the first of many.
Congrats on resisting the fast food stop. The toughest part is changing your spending habits. You did well and the burgers look like they turned out great!
You did it! Good job overcoming the temptation. You totally deserved something better than McDonalds. The burgers there are nowhere near as good as the ones you made.
Good for you. And your burger tasted better than any you'd get at a drive thru.


It takes dedication and hard work to become an accountant. You'll invest a significant amount of time and money taking classes, earning certification and searching for a job. So, before you commit to all of it, you need to know: Is an Accounting degree worth it in the end?
Unfortunately, there's no one-size-fits-all answer to that question. However, we can provide you with as much relevant information as possible for you to make the determination for yourself.
We combined real-time job analysis data and firsthand knowledge from seasoned accountants to give you a better idea of whether or not enrolling in an accounting program makes sense for you. Keep reading to get some answers to your questions and determine whether an accounting degree is worth it or worthless.
The estimated salary is probably the biggest factor in this question. After all, you're a numbers person—you're not about to embark on a new career without knowing that your earning potential matches your needs.
Of course, every employer is different—and factors like location, experience and even the strength of the economy can all impact your accountant salary. But, looking at averages can at least give you a ballpark figure.
The median annual salary for accountants in 2017 was $69,350, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).1 If you look a little closer into industries, accountants who worked in the finance sector brought home a median annual wage of $74,140 while their counterparts working in the government made $67,100.
What jobs are available to accounting graduates?
If you're thinking … accountant—spot on! But an Accounting degree can set you up for a much wider variety of careers and job titles.
As you can see, many of these careers are heavy in understanding numbers, but beyond that there are tons of differences between them. Job titles like loan officer or financial advisor often involve lots of interpersonal interaction and the ability to communicate well and understand people.
Other positions like bookkeeper and payroll specialist could be fairly solitary, putting you in regular contact with only a few people or teams. Working as a compliance analyst or financial analyst might require skills in managing people and evaluating existing methods for improvement. In contrast, tax professionals or accountants often have to figure out how to work the best outcome from within a complex system of rules and regulations.
How stable is an accounting career?
Another important factor to consider before committing to an Accounting degree is the overall health of the field and your job prospects within it. Fortunately, accounting is fairly steady. Jobs for accountants are expected to grow by 10 percent through 2026, according to the BLS.1 This slightly outpaces the national average for all occupations, suggesting an optimistic future for aspiring accountants.
This is in part because of globalization, a growing economy, and a complex tax and regulatory environment create consistent demand for accountants. As Benjamin Franklin famously said, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." This is a positive truism for accountants. Barring some disaster scenario, people and businesses will have taxes to pay every year, financial decisions to make and businesses to keep running—which should bode well for the stability of the field.
What can accountants do to advance in their careers?
Most people don't think about the career ceiling when they are starting their journey—but it's an important factor to consider when you are wondering whether an Accounting degree is worth it.
After all, you don't want to break into the field and find out there's no room to earn more money, change positions or get promoted. Thankfully, the accounting field has several areas you can branch out into or specialize in as you grow professionally.
Management is always a direction to consider in accounting, and there are many different kinds of accountants out there, allowing lots of room if you want to change your situation. Check out our article, "9 Types of Accountants Who Do More Than Just Taxes" for a better idea of the options.
"An Accounting degree can lead to great things. For me, it was a stepping stone to becoming CFO," says Heidi Pozzo, founder of Pozzo Consulting. "Accounting provides a solid understanding of how the activities of business translate into financial results." Pozzo explains that many business owners do not sufficiently understand their financial statements. Having accounting as a foundation sets you up to understand some of the most complicated and confusing aspects of running a business.
How long does it take to earn an Accounting degree?
This can be an important ROI factor as well. You want to know as much as you can about how much time and money you need to invest to reach a career as an accountant.
But it's also possible to "double down" on the time you spend in education—building a network and gaining internship opportunities to boost your resume right out of the gate. The BLS notes that many colleges help students gain practical experience through internships with public accounting or business firms. These built-in opportunities can be a great way to step into the accounting world.
So, is an Accounting degree worth it?
As you can see, an Accounting degree can put you on track to a steady, well-paying career. But don't expect it to be a walk in the park. You'll need to first earn your degree, and in the case of most accountants, complete a rigorous certification process to be in contention for some of the more prestigious accounting or auditing jobs.
So, is an accounting degree worth it for you? We can't answer that question for you. But the information above should give you a much better idea. If you're up for the challenge and love working with numbers, earning an accounting degree is undoubtedly a good option.

3D printing just leveled up big time…as in, a 3D-printed Lamborghini
July 6, 2019, 1:14 AM ET
Credit: Sterling Backus
For anyone who has ever fantasized about being at the wheel of a Lamborghini Aventador but didn't have the $400K to throw at it, this is your dream made real.
Now that science has already figured out how to 3D-print a rocket, physicist Sterling Backus has been building a mostly 3D-printed Aventador in his own backyard. It started as a project to show his son, who asked for a muscle car after playing the video game Forza Horizon 3, that science is cool. The whole thing went from zero to 60 pretty fast after that.
By the way, he did all this for about $20K. That's like getting a new Aventador at 95% off.
"We decided that we would use advanced technology to build the car. However, we needed to do it on the cheap," Backus told 3D Printing Media Network. "This led us to research different automotive construction techniques. We wanted the car to be safe, so we decided on steel for the frame. In the end, after choosing 3D printing for most of the body of the car, we needed it to be strong."

Almost everything that makes up this vehicle was designed in SolidWorks and came out of a 3D printer, from the body panels, interior parts, and air vents to the headlights and taillights. It needed a steel frame so it wouldn't fall apart. Backus found anything else that couldn't be 3D-printed (which really wasn't that much) on eBay and at parts suppliers, including some authentic used Lamborghini parts and a 2003 LS1 Corvette engine that was merged with an inverted Porsche 911 transaxle.
When you're putting together a car—flashy or not—you have to consider what exactly it's made of. The materials the body is made of have to be able to survive the heat and stress a car undergoes when burning up the asphalt. For this, Backus turned to YouTube. Videos on carbon fiber skinning and vacuum molding were behind his decision to encapsulate the 3D-printed parts in carbon fiber Kevlar for extra strength. He's even made some YouTube videos of his own.
On its way to awesome. Credit: Sterling Backus
So does this mean the era of 3D-printed supercars is upon us? Only if you have the brains and the patience to build one in your own backyard. Backus made the Lambo as a personal project, showing off the progress of his DIY Lambo at schools as a STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art and Math) project. He avoided any copyright-related lawsuits by not using logos and altering the design. It's a one-of-a-kind driving machine that won't be reproduced and is definitely not for sale.
"The parts' design is based on the Lamborghini Aventador, but we have changed each panel significantly, to add our design flair," he said.
This car might just be even cooler than the DeLorean in Back to the Future. The only thing it needs now are time-traveling powers.

Suffice to say, it hasn't been the easiest ticket to get. But—if you are still holding out hope, driven to FOMO by the countless Instagram posts of dazzling lights and polka-dotted pumpkins, you'll have one last chance to see this exhibition at the High.
On Tuesday, February 5, at 10 a.m., the High will release tickets for the last week of the exhibition—February 11 through 17—online. These tickets were essentially reserved as inclement weather "make-up days" for ticket holders—if a blizzard had stuck Atlanta in December and closed the High, those who'd purchased Kusama tickets would have been rescheduled to this week.
The good news: You have a chance to buy tickets online, no waiting in the cold required.
The bad news: There will be no walk-up tickets from February 11 through 17, so this really is your last chance.
The ticket prices are the same as before—$29 for adults and $5 for children under 5—and just as before, you'll purchase tickets for a specific time slot. Limit six per order. There are also $175 VIP tickets that include an exhibition catalogue and special hours: 6-10 p.m. February 12-17. You can read the full ticket FAQ here.
So, February 5, 10 a.m., don't be late. And if you do snag a ticket, check out our seven things to know before you go.

Rebecca Hall Donates Salary From Woody Allen Film to Time's Up
Movies By TooFab Staff | 1/13/2018 10:21 AM PT
11 Stars Accused of Sexual Misconduct Before Hollywood's Harvey Weinstein Scandal View Photos
Actress Rebecca Hall said she regrets working with Woody Allen after the #MeToo and Times's Up movements forced her reconsider their professional relationship.
Hall had a small part in the upcoming Allen film, "A Rainy Day in New York," which began filming right when the Harvey Weinstein story broke. She also worked with him previously in "Vicky Christina Barcelona."
For months Hollywood has been flipped upside down with endless accusations of sexual misconduct against directors, actors and producers alike. Woody Allen was accused of sexual abuse by his adoptive daughter, Dylan Farrow, who recently wondered why Allen had been "spared" him from backlash.
Today in Hollywood Harassment: Mira Sorvino Apologizes to Dylan Farrow, Seal Calls Oprah 'Part of the Problem'
Hall is now taking a stand against the director, releasing a statement on Instagram.
"The day after the Weinstein accusation broke in full force I was shooting a day of work on Woody Allen's latest movie in New York. I couldn't have imagined somewhere stranger to be that day," Hall wrote Friday. "When asked to do so, some seven months ago, I quickly said yes ... it was one day in my hometown - easy. I have, however subsequently realized there is nothing easy about any of this."
Though Hall is grateful Allen helped kickstart her career, she went on to say that the decision to work with him again left her "conflicted and saddened."
Dylan Farrow Is 'Triggered' by Praise for Woody Allen: 'The Man Who Stole My Childhood'
"I regret this decision and wouldn't make the same one today. It's a small gesture and not one intended as close to compensation but I've donated my wage to Time's Up," she continued. "I've also signed up, will continue to donate, and look forward to working with and being part of this positive movement towards change not just in Hollywood but hopefully everywhere."
"Lady Bird" director Greta Gerwig, who appeared in Allen's 2012 film "To Rome with Love," also recently made a similar statement.
"If I had known then what I know now, I would not have acted in the film. I have not worked for him again, and I will not work for him again," Grewig said. "I increased another woman's pain, and I was heartbroken by that realization"
Other women who have publicly renounced working with Allen include Mira Sorvino and Ellen Page, who calls "To Rome with Love" her "biggest regret."

Homeless Irish vacate building after month-long standoff

"We want no more people sleeping or dying on our streets"
(Updates with homeless vacating office)
By Sally Hayden
LONDON, Jan 12 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A group of Irish homeless people vacated a prime Dublin office building on Thursday, ending a month-long standoff that has focused attention on the country's housing crisis.
The activists and rough sleepers, who took over the empty site on Dec. 15, had planned to turn Apollo House into long-term accommodation for the city's homeless.
On Wednesday, the group defied a High Court midday deadline to vacate the building, which sits on one of Dublin's best-known streets. But on Thursday, they bowed to the court ruling and moved out.
"It is regrettable that in recent days the state has failed to take this opportunity to publicly support this effort to address a national emergency," the group said in a statement posted online, saying the court order had made the building "unsafe and therefore untenable".
The activists said they were moving the Apollo House occupants to alternative housing in an undisclosed location, where they would have access to support services.
The occupation began as data showed the numbers of rough sleepers has risen in Ireland, along with the number of families moving into temporary accommodation. An official snapshot of Dublin's homeless in November showed an increase of 35 percent on the year before.
"We want no more people sleeping or dying on our streets," activist Rosie Leonard told the Thomson Reuters Foundation from Dublin.
Leonard, a volunteer with campaign group the Irish Housing Network, said the government must find safe, long-term housing for both the homeless and low earners, and introduce measures to protect vulnerable tenants.
The occupied property formed part of a portfolio of loans which were taken over by the state-owned National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) in the wake of the financial crash that forced Dublin into an 85 billion euro ($89.11 billion) bailout.

We exist to reach the world for Jesus, one person at a time. We feel that is best done in small, relational environments, where biblical disciples can be made. Discipleship groups (mainly life groups, men's & women's groups) are the primary vehicle by which we carry out the vision and mission of Real Life Ministries.
What's the difference in the discipleship groups we offer?
Life groups are community based relational environments that meet weekly for the purpose of Biblical discipleship. They are attended by a cross section of life including singles and married couples of all ages. Each group ranges in size from 5 to 18 people. Groups are led by intentional leaders who use RLM approved biblical curriculum and the discipleship process to help bring people closer to Christ. The life group environment provides opportunity for honest, transparent and authentic relationships and the opportunity to grow into spiritually mature disciples of Jesus.
Men's small groups are ongoing relational environments that meet weekly for the purpose of Biblical discipleship. They are both community based in homes as well as in various other locations. These groups range in size from 3 to 8 men. Men's small groups provide the opportunity for deep, honest, transparent, accountable relationships as the men address specific areas where spiritual growth is needed in their lives. These groups are led by an intentional leader utilizing various curriculums to help men become spiritually mature disciples and spiritual leaders.
Women's small groups are ongoing relational environments that meet weekly for the purpose of Biblical discipleship. They are both community based in homes as well as in various other locations. These groups range in size from 3 to 8 women. They provide the opportunity for a deep level of transparency and accountability as women address specific areas where growth is needed in their lives. They are led by an intentional leader utilizing various curriculums to help women become spiritually mature disciples.
Youth and children's small groups are ongoing relational environments that meet weekly for the purpose of Biblical discipleship. Not only do these groups give children and youth a safe place to grow in their relationships with Jesus, but the small group experiences also lays the foundation for relational discipleship that we hope continues on throughout the life of each child or teen.
We also offer other environments for our people to learn and mature as followers of Jesus.
Support Groups are small groups of 3-10 people that meet for a fixed period of time. People attend support groups with the goal of overcoming a specific area of wounding, illness, addiction, or harmful behavior pattern. These groups provide an opportunity for people to heal in a safe, relational environment, amongst a group of peers with which they have something in common. They meet on campus or in homes, they are gender specific, leader lead and use biblically based curriculums.
Discussion groups are small groups of 3-10 people that meet for a fixed period of time. These groups provide a safe, relational environment for the purpose of biblical discipleship. They primarily take place within classes or large group bible studies and are precluded by an up-front teaching lesson. Discussion groups allow for a time of specific learning relevant to a person's spiritual need or season of life and are intended to serve as a bridge into either a home group, or a men's or women's small group.

The nursing facility is also not located within a hospital. Some residents may require more intensive care that can only be provided at a hospital. Because Heritage Health-Mt. Sterling is not located at a hospital, residents cannot be easily and quickly transferred to an acute care setting, if necessary.
According to Medicare's Nursing Home Care, Heritage Health-Mt. Sterling has an overall rating of three stars which is average. Altogether, Medicare gives Heritage Health-Mt. Sterling the following star ratings. We all know the more starts, the better the service.
Overall rating: three stars (average). Medicare assigns the overall star rating based on a nursing home's performance on three separate categories: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Each of these categories has its own star ratings, with more stars meaning better quality of care.
Health inspections: three stars (average). Health care professionals conduct annual inspections for Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing facilities to identify any health and safety citations. The most recent health inspection for the facility was held last November 15, 2018. The more stars mean the fewer the health risks the facility poses.
Staffing: one star (much below average). The rating is based on the number of professional nursing home staff hired including the average time said professionals spent caring for residents. The rating also takes into account the needs of the residents vis-à-vis staffing requirements. The more stars mean a better level of staffing per nursing home resident.
Quality of resident care: five stars (much above average). Once again, more stars are better. Nursing homes that are certified by Medicare and Medicaid frequently report clinical information about their residents to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS then assigns nursing homes a quality of resident care star rating based on their performance on 16 measures. Normally, the category measures the quality of care for short-term and long-term residents. These, and other measures, reflect how well nursing homes care for their residents.
Bed Sores: Bed sores are often called pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers. These sores originate at points of pressure. They develop inside-out, so that once the wound opens through the outer layer of skin, it is a full-blown ulcer and very susceptible to infection. These wounds range in severity from mild such as skin reddening to severe which are deep craters that go down through the muscle to the bone. Bedsores can develop quickly, and treatment is often difficult – especially among elderly patients. These ulcers tend to be very difficult to heal, requiring a continuous effort to relieve the pressure between the bone and the exterior of the body. Unfortunately, nursing home residents with limited mobility, who are confined to the bed or chair, are uniquely at risk for suffering these injuries.


The delicious fruit-forward 2011 Chardonnay displays the subtle influence of wood along with honeyed citrus poached pear and white peach notes. Medium-bodied pure and seductive it can be enjoyed over the next several years. - Robert Parker Robert Parkers Wine Advocate.
A fine brisk Chardonnay marked by acidity and minerals and a certain elusiveness. But at its core are amazingly ripe tropical fruit honey and vanilla flavors with additional richness from oak. Good price for a Carneros Chard of this elegance and complexity.

The Apocryphal Cookbooks of Famous Novelists
LAWRENCE, Cynthia [pseud. of Lillian Hellman?]. Barbie's Easy-As-Pie Cookbook.
New York: Random House, 1964.
Though she preferred anonymity, we're pleased that the Unfinished Woman
had time to finish this book, attributed to her based upon its Stalinist sympathies.
Recently, Kelvin Johnson, an adult-bookstore clerk in Baltimore, MD, bought the contents of a self-storage unit at auction. Within was box of books that upon close examination inspired Johnson to contact lawyers, accountants, and rare book dealers.
"I'm not much of a vanilla-book person," Johnson said, "but I do know that none of these authors were known for their work in the kitchen. They're all cookbooks."
The news has rocked the literary establishment.
"We all feel like we've been kneaded, and flattened with a rolling pin," Marilyn Bagley, Professor of English Literature at West Covina Community College in Southern California and author of Heavy Metal and Hip-Hop Motifs in Victorian Novels 1840-1860: The Foreshadow of Ozzie Osborne, Original 50 Cent, and the Quest For Bling Within the Works of William Thackeray and George Eliot, reported. "All our bubbles have been squooshed."
Basil Pine-Coffin, a literary forensics specialist and rare book dealer that Johnson has hired to appraise the books, said, "stylistically, they're spot on; there's no question in my mind that they are genuine. They appear to be vanity editions, and one-offs – unique. They have certainly never been heard of or seen before. This is an amazing discovery that will provide scholars with plenty to chew on for many years to come. The books are priceless - but we're working on it."
A few highlights from the trove:
Mark Twain married his interest in gastronomy with his affection for the vernacular and erotic, and thus brought A Tramp, A Broad, and Huckleberry Pie out of the oven and onto the dessert tray.
Who knew that Charles Dickens was a closet chocolatier? Barnaby Fudge melts in your mouth.
Was Edgar Allen Poe a secret Jew? No one has ever imagined it. But The Tell-Tale Calves Liver, a tract on trayfe (non-kosher), strongly suggests that the idea ain't just chopped liver.
William Styron suffered from depression for much of his adult life yet he, apparently, found joy in the simple pleasures and so bequeathed Sophie's Choice Brisket to us.
Portrait of a Lady Finger is surely Henry James' lightest confection.
We now know what drove F. Scott Fitzgerald to drink. The Beautiful and the Damned Angel Cake is a bittersweet tragedy.
True, she didn't write fiction. Yet environmentalists and litterateurs will be seared when they learn that when not spraying the truth on pesticides Rachel Carson tacitly wrote The Silent Spring Chicken. No comment on this understated gustatory salute to Cornish game hens and the many ways to prepare them, sotto voce, and hormone-free.
It is likely that no one will ever tackle James Joyce's contribution to the dinner table. No kitchen consultants have been able to make head or tail out of Finnegan's Cake, much less bake it. But that shouldn't stop it from winning the Pillsbury Bake-Off; it's a modern classic that will be much admired though rarely eaten.
William Faulkner, it turns out, spent as much time with a baking sheet as a sheet of paper. One afternoon, he asked his Hollywood employer, studio-chief Jack Warner, if he could finish writing at home. Warner looked at his watch and said, sure, go ahead. A week later, Warner was pissed-off. "Where the fuck is Faulkner?" Turns out, Faulkner had something in the oven – at home in Oxford, Mississippi, where he apparently fled to compose the following soufflés: The Sound and the Fricassee; As I Lay Frying; Intruder in the Crust; Requiem For a Bun; and Albacore, Albacore!
Johnson is very excited. And the stakes are high. At a press conference this morning his team announced their appraisal of the collection, a staggering $200,000,000.
Yet all is not well in the world of literary dishes - instant riches.
James Salt, the respected rare book dealer that Johnson originally brought in to help with the project, excused himself early on. He believes the collection may only be worth $200, at best.
"I smell fish," Salt sniffed, "and I'm not talking about Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea Bass: 20 Lite N' Easy Meals.
"While it's true that Tolstoy hated Italian food I seriously doubt that he would devote his time and labor to a 1,000 page book about his struggle with it. I don't care how many so-called experts assert otherwise, I will never be convinced that he wrote War On Pizza."

Dianne Alvero seems to have a happy family. She and her mom, Amanda, has just renovated their house, her younger siblings are doing great at school, and her boyfriend is already preparing for their future together. But everything in her life shatters when her dad, Franco, returns after ten years of being with his mistress. More than the presence of Franco, what hurts Dianne the most is her mom wholeheartedly accepts her dad back into their lives, and how her siblings allow him to be their father again. Confused and hurt, Dianne does everything to throw Franco out of their lives. But as she succeeds with her plans, she is shocked to learn that their family's problem is more than the return of this man who has hurt her in the past.
Sa 'yo Lamang is a 2010 Filipino religious-family drama film produced and released by Star Cinema. It is Star Cinema's offering for its 18th year anniversary.


This is an event that happens to everyone. This event happens to at least one person every second. It occurs no matter what race or gender you might be, morals you hold, beliefs you might have, or life you live. It will eventually happen to everyone. It is inevitable that this would happen.
For death is an inescapable truth.
Death may come in a variety of forms: choked, drowned, crushed, shot, beaten, burned, frozen, stabbed, electrocuted, overdosed, and many more. Death is prevalent all throughout society. Death can be seen in news articles, television, games, or even your own front yard. The concept of death is learned by many through media or possibly a personal experience. I don't particularly like that children learn about the concept of death so early in their lives.
Nothing is an exception to death. Everything that lives must die sooner or later. It's like the saying, "What goes up must come down." Nothing that lives can avoid death.
Well, I wouldn't say that there are no exceptions to death. The Turritopsis dohrnii, otherwise known as the Immortal Jellyfish, is quite possibly the only living thing that is an exception to death. When it experiences physical harm, gets sick, or is old, it reverts itself into a stage before it was a jellyfish. This ability gives it an indefinite lifespan. Though they can die from predators and from diseases, this animal is the closest thing we have seen to real immortality.
On the topic of immortality, there have been many stories of people that have tried to obtain immortality over the last hundreds of years. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, made around 18th century BCE, King Gilgamesh goes off on a quest to find immortality but ultimately does not find it. Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, searched for a way to live forever and died because of it by ingesting mercury pill, thinking that it would extend his life. Ponce de León tried to find immortality in the form of the Fountain of Youth in Florida in 1513 and like the other tales, he failed to do so.
Immortality does sound tempting. The ability to not die in any circumstance. I think a lot of people would love to be immortal. I myself would like to be immortal, but I can't ignore the one problem that comes along with immortality.
Immortals would live pretty lonely lives. As the years pass by, the people around you get older while you stay the same. You must watch as your loved ones pass away and you are left alone. Sure, you could always make new friends, but you know that they will die and you would have to continue along without them.
I for one do not like being lonely. I hate the feeling of losing someone. I just can't handle it. A solution for me would be to have everyone that I think is important to me be immortal as well. That would solve that problem.
Immortality does sound tempting and I would honestly take it if I had the chance as long as the people I care about get it too. I just don't want everyone in the world to take up this chance as well.
If everyone in the world were immortal, then weapons would no longer be needed. World peace would actually be achievable to a degree. But even though weapons would no longer be needed, they would still be produced. People would still lust for money and power. Resources would be consumed much quicker than ever before. The world would become overpopulated and most likely war would break out for land and resources. The world would most likely fall into chaos.
Death is something that nobody can avoid. I do wish that I can avoid it. Many people do. Some of those people are attempting to extend human life through various means. But for now, we must deal with the fact that we will all die some day. So the best thing to do is to live life without any regrets so death doesn't matter to us anymore.
As AP tests and the end of the year close in, preparations for those tests begin to escalate. As part of that, feedback and constructive criticism can be devastating, but the most useful asset a student has to overcome the AP exam.
Today in English class, we wrote essays in response to a reading we did to analyze the style of writing the author took to make the writing more effective. After I had written my essay, I had realized that I made a poor mistake in my choice of analysis in my thesis and my ideas were poorly organized. I had only realized this after I had written, and wondered on how I could fix this problem. The next day, we did peer reviews, and I got immediate feedback on what I needed to do, including better organization and that I was slightly off from the prompt, and some analytical choices. This was what I needed to succeed, and I was extremely grateful of the criticism because I wanted to improve and score higher on the AP Composition exam. While the criticism is useful, I feel that I need more practice to iron out all the mistakes I would have made on the actual test.
Some people take criticism very sharply and translate it as an attack on their character, but what they need to realize that it is not to hurt them, but rather, to help them. Those who give criticism are not out to hurt you (unless they actually are), but rather to help you improve and succeed, as is the job of teachers.
Another time in my APUSH history class, we had presentations to do, and from what I heard, the previous periods had gotten chewed out. My group was giving the presentation, and after I said some of my lines, I could visibly see my teacher cringe a little. At the end of the presentation, he gave us plenty of criticism and asked us questions, hinting us towards the correct answer that we were so slightly off from. In situations like that, most would have been upset with the teacher's tone, but I had to stand there and take the feedback. After thinking about this for a little bit afterwards and the following day, I realized that my teacher was not out to get us, but to guide us on the right idea. While others gave their presentations and stood in the front for criticism, I perked up at his words like, "You presented that idea very well." "You didn't quite hit the mark, but got very close." "You are on the right track, but keep going." These key phrases made me realize that he was not being critical to be critical, but to help all of us prepare for the key things we will need to write on for the AP exam for US history.
I have come to realize that some teachers are sometimes rude and grumpy, but while these may be their qualities, they often aren't doing it on purpose. They want to help us, to guide us on the right path, to see us succeed in class and in life. I'll now have to be more keen towards my teachers and the things they say, because while it may seem rude, there is always a deeper meaning and feeling to words.
Recently I have decided to read a classic that has stood in the halls of literature since the beginning of time. I am talking of course about the novel The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien. Stories of ancient lands and mythical creatures have always captivated me. This story is no different. This novel is true to the hype that has been attached to it. After reading this masterpiece I can guarantee that this novel is a solid 9/10. This story begins in the age of the rings of power. Nineteen of the rings were reserved for the races and one was forged for the dark lord Sauron. Not only was this ring was the evilest of them all, but it was also the most powerful of them all. The time now flashes to a present age where a certain hobbit named Bilbo Baggins is remembering his adventure filled past. He has decided to move on and give the ring, which has found its way into his possession, to his adopted child Frodo Baggins. Through the help of a friendly wizard named Gandalf the Grey, Frodo is able to learn the dangers of a treasure too powerful for mortal species. Frodo decides to embark on a life changing trip to destroy the ring in the fiery depths of Mount Doom, once and for all. But he is destined to find trials and tribulations along his way. Luckily for him he is joined by his trusty friend Samwise Gamgee. Later on Frodo is joined by the rest of the Fellowship in the beautiful elvish town of Rivendale, which includes the stout dwarf Gimli, heir to the throne Aragorn, arrow-ridden Boromir, and the handsome but, fearsome elf Legolas. Now Frodo is not alone on his quest to destroy the ring by himself, but with a great group of friends. I shall not say the rest because I want you to enjoy as I did. This is the first in the adventure of Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship of the rings. I hope that my blog will be able to keep on bringing great novels… ones that you will enjoy for time to come.
Over the past semester I have been focused and guided to improve my writing in my Ap English Class. I feel that with the constructive criticism that I received from both my peers and my teacher that I writing skills have greatly increased.
In my class we focused on three main essays, a descriptive, narrative, and definition essay. But the one I focused on most was my narrative.
At the start of my essay I focused too much on the description of places that it turned into a descriptive essay rather than a narrative. I also was not doing a good job of showing the whole story in my eyes. I was telling rather than showing as my teacher likes to say.
As I got more practice, my essay seemed to flow smoother until it was almost perfectly polished. I say almost because I wrote my final draft, but it has yet to be read by my teacher.
Writing a final version of my narrative helped me see most of my strengths and weakness. One highlighted strength that I saw throughout all my essays was my attention to detail.
As I wrote my descriptive essay it seemed as if the words just came to me effortlessly and according to my peers, it seemed as if it was my strongest essay out of all three of them. Incorporating metaphors somewhat fluidly into my essay seems to be one of my strengths. I'm not a very good writer at all. Most of my strength came from what I intended to focus on. Descriptive essays calls for lots of metaphors so I think that since I was focusing on how to write better descriptive essays, my skills of incorporating metaphors became better as well.
On the downside of my strengths there is my weakness which is probably my structure and fluidity of my essays.
I believe that I still need to work on being more fluid with my sentence and paragraph flow. Most of the time I am not able to put everything I want to say on the paper and it comes off as choppy. My writing in general is improving slightly, but I still have a long way to go into become a good writer.
Overall this semester has greatly helped me and lead me on the path of becoming a more accomplished writer.

FAA, airline investigating how worker got left in cargo hold
Published Wednesday, January 04, 2017
Federal authorities and airline officials are investigating the odd flight of baggage handler who wound up in the cargo hold of a plane for more than 300 miles.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it hoped to talk to the man on Tuesday. The agency said it would determine whether the man's cargo-loading company followed proper procedures to make sure that all employees were out of the cargo hold before the doors were closed and the plane took off.
The man was found unharmed after the United Express flight from Charlotte, North Carolina, landed Sunday at Dulles International Airport outside Washington, D.C.
The cargo hold was temperature-controlled and pressurized, United Airlines spokeswoman Erin Benson said. The Embraer jet was in the air for about 80 minutes and reached an altitude of 27,000 feet, according to the FlightAware tracking service.
The plane was operated for United by Mesa Airlines, but the bag handler works for a Mesa contractor, G2 Secure Staff, Benson said.
G2, which is based in Irving, Texas, issued a statement saying that its employee traveled in the cargo hold "on accident" and that it is cooperating with investigations into the incident.
Phoenix-based Mesa did not immediately respond to phone and email messages.
Rob Yingling, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, said that medics met the plane when it arrived Sunday afternoon but determined the baggage handler did not need treatment.
Dulles Airport police conducted a brief investigation. Since the man had proper identification as a Charlotte airport employee and was not charged with a crime, he was released, Yingling said.
The Washington Post identified the bag handler as Reginald Gaskin, and said it reached him by telephone. "I thank God. He was with me," he told the newspaper, then said a lawyer advised him not to say more.
Reached by The Associated Press at his Charlotte home Tuesday, Gaskin declined comment.
This isn't the first time an airport worker has wound up flying in a cargo hold. In 2015, an Alaska Airlines plane made an emergency landing in Seattle after pilots and passengers heard someone banging on the cargo hold beneath them after takeoff.
The man said he had fallen asleep while loading bags — also in a pressurized part of the cargo hold. Menzies Aviation, the contractor who employed the man, said he had broken their rules by napping in the plane.
There have also been stowaways. In 2014, a teenage boy flew in the wheel well of a Hawaiian Airlines jet from California to Hawaii, surviving thin air and freezing temperatures. The boy said he hopped a fence at the airport in San Jose to reach the plane. He was spotted wandering the airfield after the plane landed.
Safety experts say such incidents should prompt airlines to improve security procedures. They say crews should not close the cargo doors until everyone is accounted for.
