Sure, they’re not the suns of Tatooine, but they certainly signal this recurring motif, except this time, the suns aren’t a representation of choice, but a reminder of sacrifice. The last thing Luke sees before he disappears into a pile of empty robes is a pair of suns. Luke dies a warrior death out on the far-off planet Ahch-To, but not before catching a glimpse of the Binary Sunset again. With Rey’s help, Luke finally accepts his failure, learns from his defeat, and makes a legendary sacrifice, his final stand against that blood red sun. But in The Last Jedi, he’s finally brought back into the light. Resigned to a solitary life away from the rest of the Galaxy, cut off from the Force, Luke became a shadow of the hero he once was. In the years we’d been away from him, Luke had failed–he failed to bring the Jedi Order back to life, failed to train his nephew Ben Solo, and worst of all, failed himself. The Luke Skywalker of Episode VIII is callous, old, and dejected. But in The Last Jedi, Luke isn’t quite the same as we’d known him before. It isn’t until the second film of Disney’s new trilogy, 12 years after Episode III, after Kathleen Kennedy had brought the franchise back to its feet, that we see those suns–and Luke Skywalker–again. We don’t see the Binary Sunset again for a long time. There are two suns: one for each of Padmé’s twin children. Yes, the Galaxy has been lost to Lord Sidious, yes, the “chosen one” has gone the way of the Sith–but at the end of the prequel trilogy, we’re reminded that there is still hope. Whereas before, this image represented a choice between light or dark for the savior child, here, years before Luke’s story even really begins, the Binary Sunset is a signal of hope. Owen and Beru, two moisture farmers on the nowhere planet Tatooine, catch a glimpse of the Binary Sunset after being trusted with what will prove to be the Galaxy’s last hope: the infant Luke Skywalker. This time, they’re the final image we see. Get it?Ģ8 earth years later, but a few decades on the Star Wars timeline backward, we see the suns again in 2005’s Revenge of the Sith. In Return of the Jedi, we learn that it’s up to Luke to decide which one of those suns he’s going to let set on him. A few scenes later, his foster parents will be burned to death and he’ll be yanked away from Tatooine to contend with a father who's dragging his only sun into a genocidal–yet all-powerful–Sith regime. By the end of that trilogy, we come to understand, in this formative moment, Luke was gazing right over the threshold. It’s a striking image, one that, especially with the majestic french horn from John Williams’ orchestra, inspires a lot of wonder. In Episode IV, Luke sees one sun that’s whitish with a pink outline, and another that’s blood-red. They rhyme.” Whether or not you believe Lucas really had the entire nine film “Skywalker Saga” in mind when he first set foot in Tunisia to film A New Hope (then just called Star Wars), the recurring image of Tatooine’s twin suns seems to function, like he says, less as narrative text and more as a poetic device. In the excellent Phantom Menace making-of documentary, The Beginning (which is oddly available in full on Youtube for anyone interested), George Lucas explains to producers of Episode I that his movies are like “poetry.sort of. In fact, as I unpack each occurrence of the Binary Sunset throughout the nine-film series, I’m realizing that these two suns may be the connective tissue holding all the many branches of the Star Wars saga together. But that’s not to say this image is meaningless. Unlike a lot of the recurring motifs of Star Wars, which are almost always just plainly stated out loud, the Binary Sunset is left open to interpretation. Every Star Wars Movie, Ranked From Worst to Bestīut what does it mean, really? Today on May 4th–the pop culture holiday that’s come to be known as Star Wars Day–I keep thinking, after all these years, why do we keep seeing this Binary Sunset in Star Wars? The image is so significant to the series, appearing in Episodes III, IV, VIII, and IX, but it’s always understated.The Best Star Wars Prequel Is Now On Disney+.

The fact that the horror embedded in songs by bands like Morbid Angel, Deicide and Cannibal Corpse doesn’t come close to what’s at the core of Kira’s truth tells us it’s likely more than we - or anyone - should be asked to bear. Wray chooses not to describe the damage at the root of Kira’s trauma. Wray knows his stuff, and he masterfully sets the table, allowing Kira to pursue her own darkness and confront it where it lives. The concept of exorcism is often associated with heavy metal, but ultimately metal is where you go to meet your demons, not purge them. To enter extreme music is to go to a place beyond melody or rhythm or even narrative, a place that leads to the darkness within the listener. Sometimes you enter a piece of music sometimes it enters you. To love music is to be on intimate terms with a magical revolving door. “Chronology is an illusion, if not a deliberate lie,” a character posits in “The Lost Time Accidents,” the fourth offering from novelist John Wray. Its repercussions push the trio to Northern Europe, where Kira finds herself in genuine peril and the novel swerves from a coming-of-age story into a freaky-deaky horror show.īooks Review: In ‘The Lost Time Accidents,’ John Wray balances the logical and the ludicrous Kip embraces Kira’s notion that metal is a tool for excavating truth, and his truth is the White Room, an urge for violence that is part fatal flaw, part transcendental calling. You spend more time on your bangs than you do on your songs.” He ends his diatribe by telling Vince “a storm is coming” - but fails to heed his own warning. This is your conscience speaking.” He proceeds to shred Vince as “an embarrassment to yourself and to your family. In the bathroom of the Rainbow Room, where Kira works, Kip addresses the semi-comatose singer for Mötley Crüe: “Wake up, Vince. That’s one of the more hopeful messages encoded in “Gone to the Wolves”: If you can get through your childhood, you can make it through anything.īy refusing to imbue the shenanigans of the Sunset Strip with the banal glamour of MTV, Wray correctly presents it as a cultural morass even less enlightened than the Youth Center parking lot in Venice, Fla. Kip, Leslie and Kira know how to survive a backwater. Metal is not a cult or an ideological system but a scene, and a scene is always a cultural backwater of the mainstream. Kip’s takedowns of the pay-to-play fame seekers who cavort about the Whisky a Go Go’s stage on weekday nights to half-empty rooms with glitter cannons and paisley scarves, are scabrous enough to give the likes of Lester Bangs and Kickboy Face pause. “He couldn’t shake the feeling,” Wray writes, “that all it would take to bring the whole scene crashing down would be for someone, just one random person, to look around and start laughing.” (Though the band isn’t named, that’s the effect Nirvana had when it broke out in 1991 and sent hair metal back to the underground.) Kip’s musical taste is defined by what he doesn’t like, and as he reinvents himself as a reviewer for a zine called Hair of the Serpent, he discovers plenty to dislike in the druggy lore of the Sunset Strip. She talks about “Hard+Fast,” a new collection of her photos. Melanie Nissen was there at the creation of L.A. punk’s house photographer remembers her best shots These rumors are bolstered by Kip’s proclivity for slipping into a violent fugue-like state he calls the White Room whenever he’s threatened or stressed.īooks L.A. His arrival is attended by a raft of rumors about his incarcerated father and drug-addicted mother, as well as his own involuntary stay in a mental health facility. In his latest outing, he has nailed his milieu.Ĭhristopher “Kip” Norvald is the proverbial new kid in town, who moves to Venice, Fla., to live with his grandmother and finish high school. Wray is the acclaimed author of five previous novels, ranging from the voice-driven (“Lowboy”) to the historical (“The Right Hand of Sleep”) and the experimental (“The Lost Time Accidents”). This is certainly the case for the three main characters in “ Gone to the Wolves,” an outstanding new novel by John Wray set in the world of ’80s heavy metal. Enduring everything from insults to parking lot beat-downs, devotees of extreme music earn their fandom. This is why headbangers and punks are the most loyal fans on the planet. There is a direct relationship between the amount of crap you take for the music you love and the depth of your devotion to it.

All of this information is included in the program’s composite and cohort performance reports, which includes cohort means. This is a summative assessment so keyword feedback is not provided.

The performance standards were updated in 2021 by a 22-member workgroup and approved by the PAEA Board of Directors following two years of live data collection. These levels are defined at a broad level by policy level descriptors. The End of Curriculum exam uses categorical performance levels to indicate whether the student has limited, satisfactory, or advanced medical knowledge. The learner at the advanced performance level demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of general medical knowledge. The learner at the satisfactory performance level demonstrates a sufficient understanding of general medical knowledge. The learner at the limited performance level demonstrates a partial understanding of general medical knowledge. They are not linked to content but are more general statements that assert an organization’s position on the desired level of performance or rigor intended at each level.” (Perrie 2008) The following policy level descriptors were developed for the End of Curriculum exam. Policy level descriptors are “policy definitions that determine how rigorous and challenging the standards will be for the assessments. Score Interpretation Policy Level Descriptorsįor this exam policy level descriptors were developed and will be identified on score reports. The scale for the End of Curriculum is 1200 to 1800. The primary benefit to scale scores is that they allow all scores on all versions and forms of End of Curriculum to be comparable across years as they all use the same scale metric. Doing so allows for a single performance report even though there are two forms of the exam-a process known as equating. Scale scores are scores that have been mathematically transformed from one set of numbers (i.e., the raw score) to another set of numbers (i.e., the scale score), in order to make them more easily comparable between different forms of the same exam. The End of Curriculum exam utilizes scale scores. Research suggests that multiple assessments, and assessment types, increase the reliability that programs are truly measuring the skill or knowledge they are intending to measure. A single multiple-choice exam is not capable of addressing and measuring the full scope of graduation readiness. The End of Curriculum exam should not be used as a stand-alone summative evaluation. Programs are cautioned against interpreting the scoring and analytical reports outside of the statement of purpose. Scores should only be used to evaluate a student’s medical knowledge as one component of their readiness for graduation. It is important that programs have a clear understanding of the characteristics, meaning, intended interpretation, as well as the limitations of the End of Curriculum scoring and analytical reports. The PAEA End of Curriculum exam is an objective, standardized evaluation of a student’s medical knowledge as one component of their readiness for graduation.

To proceed, you need to cross the execution place, jump to the pipes and head down into the poisonous water (you will need to don a mask when you do). Note that if you didn't wait for the soldiers in the transport to leave first, you may want to find a dark, out of the way spot to wait for them to pass by. Wait for the political officer to move away and observe the pattern of the remaining guard. Witnessing the execution of the deserter will net you a moral point. Use nightvision to see the holes in the planking (the flashlight will reveal your position) snuff out the light in the bridge's underpass and stay close to the bridge support where an impromptu trial is being held. The way onward though, is past these guys, so move out. Listening to their full conversation will net you a moral point. Go down the stairs at the bridgehead and you will have a chance to eavesdrop on two soldiers near a weapons box. If this is your first time trying to avoid killing anyone, you may want to wait. Wait for the soldiers to disembark from their transport (they will all head across the bridge and up to the Red Army base), or you can race ahead and ignore them. Skip ahead towards the railcar you took to get onto the firing line. What is of interest is the military ammunition in the box next to the goggles taking them accrues a moral point. Kill the two guards and insect the red box for a free pair of Night Vision Goggles (the Sneaking Suit will come with them, making this step unnecessary). If you are interested in a moral point (when you are killing enemies) head back towards the start of the railway. It's important to remember that for the Invisible Man achievement, you cannot kill anyone - stealth is not a requisite for the achievement, but it certainly helps. If this is a replay, killing everyone and looting their ammo is a better fit - you can use the ammo for later levels. One of the things we aim to help teams create with Jira Software is a single source of truth for all the work teams are doing. So for example, if you have multiple teams working on mobile initiatives, you may want to have a single Confluence page that highlights the roadmaps from each of those teams so everyone can stay better in sync. If you have a team of teams meeting or a meeting with your leadership team, that means you can surface every roadmap that you would want to in a single place. The Jira roadmap macro also presents a great opportunity to improve the way you collaborate across teams because you can share the roadmaps from multiple Jira projects on a single Confluence page. It’s also great if you want to share your roadmap in a place where you can give additional context and tell more of a story about what’s happening with your team’s roadmap.Ĭentralize information from multiple teams in a single place This can be really useful for surfacing your teams' roadmap in a place that is easy to find, especially for your colleagues that may not frequently access your team’s Jira instance. ‘Live' in this case means that as you update your roadmap in Jira Software, those updates will come through in real-time to Confluence. The Jira roadmap macro enables you to take your Jira Software roadmap (available in Jira Software’s next-gen template) and embed a live version right into Confluence.
