Your Path to Becoming a Professional Driver

Class 1 driver training is provided for those who plan to operate the biggest class of commercial vehicles like articulated trucks or tractors with trailers. In the UK it is also referred to as Category C+E. To get a Class 1 license the person must pass through a structured program which is both theoretical and practical. The theory part includes materials related to road safety, hazard recognition, and vehicle control, while the practical part concerns general handling of large vehicles, reversing and parking, and adherence to rules.

this is not a request but i literally cannot stop thinking about a driver that's well known for their love of sports/race cars like charles, carlos, lance, or lando (esp lando or lance) who has a partner that drives the world's ugliest car. i'm talking a nissan cube, a kia soul, a pt cruiser, a nissan juke, or if european like a citreon e-mehari/c-zero/c1. and of course it has to be at least 9-10 years old and the f1 driver is like 'plsssss replace your car it is so embarrassing and ugly, i will literally buy you a new car' and their partner is like 'no dude, it's paid off/i have no car payment, it's runs perfectly, and the insurance payment is tiny, why would i get rid of it???'

VROOM VROOM!

pairings: charles leclerc x reader, lando norris x reader, carlos sainz jr x reader.

— author’s note: i know it wasn’t a request but i got inspired. hope u enjoyed <3 also i don’t write for lance! that’s why he was left out and i wrote this in like ten minutes so ignore any spelling mistakes please <3

still trying to wrap my head around keyleth's "i trust orym and orym trusts you so i trust you." bc when she said that my first instinct was disappointment, i think? or at least wishing it was a little different.

i think it would've been so much more meaningful to imogen if keyleth just said "i trust you." to have someone trust her and her integrity, not just bc of the company she keeps but because of her. and to hear that from keyleth, someone that imogen has come to respect a lot. i also think keyleth would be keenly aware of those things – if there's anything i'm sure she's learned over the years, it's that her words have immense weight. this is absolutely one of the reasons she pauses so much when she talks (both a marisha-ism as well as a character moment!)

so i guess i just wonder if keyleth actually doesn't trust imogen enough yet and has to filter it through orym, just enough to give imogen the confidence and validation she desperately needs but not so much that it's a falsification or overinflation? would she lie about trusting imogen in order to instill confidence in her, i want to say probably not? but it could probably go either way and would be heavily dependent on what she's experienced in the last 30 years – what is keyleth's relationship with telling white lies and keeping little secrets, after a few decades as the voice of the tempest? it's easy to imagine that it's changed, but also perhaps remaining honest is something keyleth has come to greatly value. tbh i don't think this was particularly explored in c1, and vm did deceive quite frequently, but never in the role of Mentor to a younger, more naive adventuring party like bh

i do love the follow-up of "i see a lot of myself in you" bc the parallels were there all along and i just never noticed them. young women who grew up in a publicly broken family with the weight of their destiny becoming progressively heavier on their shoulders. unimaginable, overwhelming power coursing through them as they explore a foreign and vast world. questioning every single decision they make along the way. the responsibility of the fate of the world frequently, unrelentingly, falling to them for reasons completely out of their control. not knowing anything but knowing they love their companions and knowing they want to do good. not knowing at all what good is anymore. still striving for it regardless.

it does make me lean more toward yes keyleth does trust imogen, because keyleth knows that imogen does not trust herself but keyleth can recognize that she can be trusted, because keyleth was the same way and she turned out okay. if anyone would understand the simultaneously terrifying but also unquestionable reliability of a truly good person trying to survive in a harsh world, it would be keyleth. but then why didn't she say so! and also i just personally would like to think that keyleth does trust imogen after seeing all that she's sacrificed and the level of dedication she's demonstrated over the last several months. but maybe that's just my bias after seeing every little bit of anguish and anxiety that imogen has experienced, and it's very hard to tell/remember how much of that has actually been perceived by keyleth. but also to see herself in imogen would suggest that she's seen at least some of it?

anyway i'm driving myself crazy. but i wish she could've told imogen she trusts her, and idk what stopped her. :(

So you said you were working on a few wips...talk to me. Tell me everything

okay okay okay okay so (pulls up the last time i referenced any of my wips to remember what i even posted about)

Original WIPs:

Since I just started working on it tonight. I'm taking a playwriting class this semester so I started working on what will be my end-of-the-semester project (the semester starts tuesday) because I already know what my project is going to be. It doesn't have a title yet, but it is going to return to my roots of leaving two actors on a stage basically going through emotional hell as their stories intertwine in the form of interrogations (gotta love a barebones interrogation room scene on a barely lit stage).

"#WhatHappenedToTennysonBeatty" is (hopefully) going to be the project I focus on moving forwards with my fiction courses. It's written in script form, as a podcast breaks open and exposes the mystery of a disappearance from ten years previously.

I have a new adult fantasy book I've been working on for a minute too, and I just had a breakthrough literally tonight about it, so I'll probably be working on that on/off as well. The book is split between three major POVS: Felicity 'Fix' Brion (married to a diplomat and maternal figure to her orphaned nephews, in her husband's country following an assassination of her sister-in-law), Roel Devani (former prince, former spymaster, turned war criminal), and Cealin Ecgwine (essentially a priest in the church, escorting what may possibly be an actual god reborn away from his death).

I ALSO have a near-future dystopian book I've been working on in a very on-and-off way that deals with some pretty heavy topics I don't want to super get into. But its got some queers and some magic realism, so that's fun.

TDJ WIPs:

"What if Yohan simply didn't?" I've mentioned it in passing, I think, but it's an AU in which Yohan's plans are waylaid by chronic pain and trauma. Soohyun's meddling ends up with Gaon going to visit the house in which Yohan and Elijah are bottled up, and though initially the Kangs are both cold to him, it takes very little for them to warm up to Gaon.

"????" is an Elijah-centric 5+1 of emotions as she experiences them over the course of the show. I know the emotions are 'anger, bitterness, reluctance, hesitation, hope + happiness' but I've written exactly one sentence of it.

"Another ?????" is an exploration of Yohan's trust in Gaon through the eyes of the people around them: K, Jinjoo, Elijah, Jungho, Soohyun, etc.

SFH WIPs:

I can't talk about the SFH WIP for legal reasons (again, I'm a mod of the zine, I know what the topic/theme is gonna be months in advance lmfao)

Critical Role WIPs:

Nicknamed "Tilly" with the working title "regret informs only the living," it jumps between ~C1 and C3, in a world where Percy and Laudna had met as children and did know one another. It jumps between their childhoods, immediately after reclaiming Whitestone, and when Bells Hells bring Laudna to Whitestone to revive her.

Originally nicknamed "Life 5," now its own fic titled "obsessively, incessantly, to a point of suffocation", it's an alternate history in which the Empire made a severe push into Xhorhas as the perfect moment. Asarius falls, and Dens Olios, Thelyss, and Tasithar are captured. The citizens of Asarius are split between four internment camps. Switching POVs between scourger Bren and survivor Essek, it's an alignment flip.

"friends on the other side," also called "Kingsley is Confused™," is immediately post C2, following Kingsley as he tries to piece together some semblance of identity and life, while Mollymauk and Lucien simply do not shut up in his head. It's enough to drive anyone mad, really. But maybe, just maybe, King is smart enough to figure out how to get them out of head and into bodies of their own.

"kindness is a dish best served" is an alternate C2 ending, in which it is Lucien pre-Nonagon who wakes up when the Wildmother brings him back. He lies through his teeth, claiming he doesn't know any of them. Only Caleb (visibly) sees through the lies.

Currently nicknamed "Vesper de Rolo's Very Bad, Not Good Day," it's a retelling of C3, in which Vesper de Rolo is a member of Bells Hells.

Currently only nicknamed "the consecution fic," the only thing I've written is this: 'thirty years after Essek Thelyss of No Den is executed for treason, Lirik Thelyss of Den Thelyss begins to go through anamnesis and realizes he can tell nobody who he truly is.'

And that's not including two 5+1s I'm sitting on for more Thelyss family dynamics because there's something so fun about locking Essek, Verin, and Deirta in a room together and poking them to see what happens.

And, now, lastly. The one I can't forget. "The Fickle Nature of Time's Children," suffering under the weight of my 22k word outline. It's a Caleb/Essek time travel fic with a twist, dealing heavily with themes of depression, a lack of fulfillment and unhappiness, with a massive redemption arc for the Tombtakers because they deserve it.

~

*exhales* okay that's it. Mostly. I have a couple of other original pieces of writing I didn't touch on because I haven't been working on them as much.

Navia Leak Analysis

Yeah I'm really into this character. So I'm going to gush about her some more, this time over the leaked details of her kit.

Base Stats

Navia has 12,650 HP, 793 DEF, 352 ATK, and 38.4% bonus CRIT DMG at level 90. Compared to other 5-Star characters, her HP is a little low (25th out of 36 characters), but she has higher than average DEF (11th out of 36) and, notably, she has the highest base ATK in the game.

Previously, Xiao held the record for highest base ATK, at 349. Navia's is only three points higher, but a new record is a new record.

Elemental Skill

This needs to be talked about in detail because there's a lot to unpack. First of all, it's a shotgun. Navia has a fucking shotgun.

It works as a payoff for triggering Crystallize reactions. When you pick up the shards, Navia gains charges, and she consumes them when she uses her skill. She can fire up to 11 projectiles, with three or more charges consumed. And if all 11 of them connect with a target, they deal double damage.

The Skill Attributes for this ability list "Rosula Shardshot Base DMG" as 671.2% at Talent level 9. On paper, this is completely insane because it sounds as if each projectile deals 671.2% ATK as damage. I did some calcs under this assumption using a hypothetical Navia build and found that she could deal upwards of 1,000,000 damage per shot.

Clearly, this isn't how it works. What's more likely is that Rosula Shardshot Base DMG refers to the total damage the shot deals, divided evenly among the number of projectiles. If this is the case, we get a much more reasonable 90,000 damage per shot.

It's impossible to discern exactly how this skill works from the description alone, which is unfortunate because it's the most important part of Navia's kit. It seems intended to do a lot of damage, at least.

Passive Talent: Undisclosed Distribution Channels

Navia's Ascension Rank 1 passive is a weird one. She gets a Geo infusion and Bonus DMG to her Normal/Charged/Plunging Attacks when she uses her skill, but it only lasts 4 seconds.

You'll have to considerably extend your field time with Navia to make use of this Passive Talent, so the question is: is it worth it? I'm hesitant to say yes.

Navia's Normal Attack is comparable to Diluc's. In other words, it's decent, but not amazing. She won't be able to compete with the output of most on-field DPS characters, and she can't trigger reactions. At best, she can drive the skills/bursts of her party members.

I think you should only make use of this if you specifically want to on-field Navia or you don't have anything better to do in your rotation during that time. Otherwise it sadly feels like a wasted slot.

Constellation

Nothing too crazy here. C1 is nice for comfort and you get 100% uptime on her burst, but I think you'll struggle to create a rotation around that. Navia can reduce enemy Geo RES with C4, which is pretty rare, but it's expensive to get to that point.

Everything else just adds a little bit of damage to her abilities. Navia doesn't have any game-changing Constellation levels, which is a good thing. This way I'm less tempted to simp for her (yes, I realize the irony in that statement).

Conclusion

That about covers Navia I'd say. I didn't talk about everything of course, just the stuff that I felt was worth mentioning. I think it's cool that we finally have a Crystallize payoff. Just having a use for an otherwise useless reaction is nice.

I love that her skill is literally a shotgun. For any game that has guns, a shotgun is my weapon of choice; they're just so satisfying to use. I don't know how HoYo managed it but Navia is seriously perfect.

So yeah, change of plans: fuck Neuvillette, he can wait. All my Primogems belong to Navia.

I know a lot of people are frustrated with seeing old PC's or feeling like we are spending too much time on a particular arc during the BH campaign. I think the best way to engage with Campaign 3 is to recognize that it's more theme and plot driven than character driven. This is going to affect the pacing and storytelling of the campaign, and it's why we shouldn't hold similar expectations for arcs, characters, and story beats with a character driven narrative like C2.

The themes are pretty simple: fate, destiny, and choice (anger/rage/violence were also prominent early in the campaign). Can you make your own path in a world controlled by fate? Where does choice factor into destiny/fate? How has previous choices affected the current fate of our party?

Once you realize this is what's driving the narrative, it makes sense why past PCs are so heavily involved in this story.

Also their inclusion in the story shouldn't be a surprise at this point. They established in the first episode that this campaign would be interconnected with previous campaigns: Three members of EXU joined C3, Orym and Laudna's story have direct ties to VM, and Betrand brought the group together. In addition to that, FCG exists because of the Mighty Nein's actions 6-7 years ago. Ashton would be dead if Essek hadn't stolen 2 beacons, and if Yeza hadn't discovered how to extract the potion of possibility. Plus we've already visited Whitestone.

As for why this campaign feels like one long continuous arc, it's because it is. The only breaks we've had from this "arc" were to rescue Laudna and visit the Gorgynei. Even the trip to break into the museum for Hexum included new Ruidus lore. We've never experienced a campaign where every character's backstory is directly connected to one major story. Yes, even Chetney, FCG, and Laudna can trace their roots back to the Ruidus/Ludinus/solstice story in some way. The closest example of interwoven backstories from previous campaigns would be Beau and Veth's connection to Isharnai. It's as if the only way to prevent another apocalypse is to bring these wildly different characters together by an unknown force... Fate.

With all that said, it's perfectly fine to be disappointed with the narrative. Focusing on theme is a departure from past campaigns. I believe most of us were expecting a character driven story, especially from a DnD campaign. Themes have always played an important role in the show of course (that's how story telling works), but it hasn't controlled the pacing quite like this. We saw it at the end of C2 when the cast wanted to end the campaign with an arc about found family and redemption instead of exploring all other character stories. It worked because ultimately that was the story of the Mighty Nein, and we already had a strong connection with the characters.

I think it's also fine to question whether a multi-year TTRPG campaign is the best medium for a theme or plot driven narrative instead of a character driven one. But, if your theme is fate and choice, I think having the story directed by dice rolls and player choice is an interesting way to do it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with disliking the story or comparing it to past campaigns. You're not a bad fan. But I worry too many folks, 16 months in, are still expecting a story like C1 or C2, and it's only going to lead to further frustration.

Hiii! Since you said you love asks I'll drop B10, C1 and C3 from the most recent ask game! Also some personal asks; for how long have you been doing art, and how did you end up in the spidervenom fandom? (I'm glad you did! :))

Take care, hon, and feel free to send asks back if you want!

Hello dear~ Thanks for the ask! I indeed do love them!

B10.What book could you just never get into, no matter how hard you tried?

I think any hard science fiction. I'm not a fan of sci-fi in general, but additionally hard sci-fi has very little emphasis on characters, focusing instead on concepts, while personally I'm all about characters, emotions, relationships... Mmm, delicious!

C1.What trope are you tired of reading? Why?

I hate love triangles! Most of the time they bring nothing to the story, that is, doesn't develop the characters, don't say anything about them, bring nothing to the themes... And they are so damn predictible!! I could handle it if the author at least made both love interests equally likely to be the end game, because at the very least I like being surprised by the things I read but that basically never happens! So it's pointless on all levels!! Agrhhhh!!!!

C3.Is there anything that makes you nope out of a story? What is it?

In fanfiction it's the first person pov. I'm sorry, but I cringe so so hard when it's the first person pov... I just don't trust any writer who uses it in a fic. Your characterization would have to be not only 100% in character but also 100% in line with what I personally headcanon about the character for me to be buy into it. And let's be honest, that's not very likely to happen!

Hm... I honestly think that unlike other people growing up, I just never stopped drawing haha! But I got my first "how to draw" book in elementary school, so... Let's say, about 12 years!

As for the spidervenom fandom, the Tumblr going balistic over the Venom movie made me interested in checking the comics (I didn't watch it until I've already read everything that was to be read at that point). You see, I love monster romance and I've heard symbrock was canon so I had to give it a read! Usually I fall fast and hard for characters, but with them, by my standards of course, it was a bit of a slow burn... Still, at some point I've became enamored! And I did what I always do, when I do when I love a character; started to ship them with the person I think would be the funniest! Symbrock would be a good place to start, not gonna lie, but here's a thing about me; I'm a rarepair junkie. There's something about rarepairs that drives me up the walls. And Symbrock is just too popular lol. So Spidervenom, being conceptually both very rich and hilarious and shockingly unpopular was the obvious pick! And now here I am! Hissing at people that I'm the only one doing any work in this house (creating fanart/fics) and in general going insane!

Thank you for the ask~

(edit: I checked and I think you have asks disabled??)

Migraine Madness & Wriothesley Pulls on Genshin (Blog) (PhoenixWrites)

Carrd ✰ Home ✰ FictionPress ✰ Writing List

Yesterday was quite the adventure for me. At least, near the end of the day. Here I am, thinking that the rest of the day is going to be chill. Then, a major migraine hits me right before I leave work. Let me tell you, migraines are just the worst while driving. This is especially prevalent at night where I had to experience a truck riding behind me with his blaring high-beam lights.

Not to mention, this migraine made me want to puke. This was the dizzy and nauseous kind of migraine. Probably from stress. Probably from me wanting to leave work. Well, probably also because I wanted to pull for the new Genshin character 😅. Oh, Wriothesley. Wriothesley. Don't even get me started on my next fictional character fixation.

I just wanted to go home and pull for him. Luckily, I did. Eventually. Well, after vomiting up a storm. That part wasn't fun. That was how bad that migraine was. Truthfully, I haven't had a stress migraine like that in a long while. Before that was a migraine caused by my shifting teeth from braces, which also wasn't fun.

Weirdly enough, I came home to my mother also experiences similar symptoms. It was if we both caught something. Whether it was the universe giving us a message or coincidental is up to debate. To conclude, life does happen. But also, Wriothesley pulls on Genshin? Yeah, let me talk about that.

For one, love this character. Not going into detail, but love this character. I already wrote tons of short stories related to him and my new character I wrote specifically for Genshin. Anyway, with a waning migraine I voice chatted with some online friends and screen shared my pulls.

Originally, I was going to do my pulls with the whole Discord community server I'm a part of with friends. But then I changed my mind and decided to just do it with my two besties because I was already drained from social interactions (if the migraine was not an obvious indication).

As for pulling Wriothesley, it went better than I imagined. In total I had 120 intertwined. I got C0 in under 20 pulls (which I was not guaranteed because of Alhaitham). Then I won the 50/50 again after pulling over 60, getting C1 Wriothesley and C0 Dehya in the same pull (first image). I was in complete disbelief. I swear, HoYoverse gave me pity after the shitty evening I had. Unrelated note, I'm also in love with his splash art (second image).

Needless to say, my mood was greatly improved afterwards. Had a couple of laughs with my friends too. If anyone plays Genshin or is interested in playing, my UID is located on my Carrd (also in the screenshots of my pulls of course). I'd love to gush over Wriothesley lol. Anyway, I know this kind of post isn't something I do. But I do hope to do more blog-type posts. Knowing me, I'll probably forget to do more.

UC Merced Cattracks

UC Merced offers a decent bus network that operates 9 lines total, 7 weekday lines and 2 weekend lines. For students who don't drive or have a car, these buses are their main source of transportation to and from campus and getting around the city. With majority of trips being made to Target, The Promenade, Merced Amtrak station, Walmart, Downtown Merced and various stops that serve off-campus student housing. While the Cattracks service does its job at getting students around, like any transportation service. It has its issues. The main issue being that service frequency is very low, according to the schedules across all lines. Service frequency can range from one bus every 40 minutes to one bus every hour and a half

Estimated service frequency(min-max): Weekday routes

C1: Every 50 min - hour 30 min

C2: Every 50 min - hour 10 min

Fastcat: Every 1hr 10 min - 1hr 30 min

Fastcat 2: Every 1hr- 1hr 30 min

G Line: Every 1hr - 1hr 20 min

Yosemite Express: Every 40 min - 1hr

Bobcat Express: Every 40 min

Weekend routes

E1: Every 1hr 10 min - 1hr 40 min

E2: 50 min - 1hr

This is an issue for many reasons. But the main reason is the less frequency there is, the longer people will have to wait. How this impacts students is everyone's time is valuable, especially for a college student. Many of us are busy throughout the course of the day and taking a trip to Target for example, would take up a significant amount of time since that individual would have to wait for the bus at the university transit center and again at the bus stop at Target. This issue is made even worse with there being only 2 weekend routes and only one of them stops at Target, combined with the low frequency, this can take out a significant portion of someone's day

Class 1 Training, HGV Training, and C1 Training: Everything You Need to Know

If you're considering a career in the transportation or logistics industry, obtaining the proper qualifications to drive heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) is a crucial step. For many would-be drivers, Class 1 training, HGV training, and C1 training are the basic courses that give them access to numerous career openings. The mentioned courses help you be fully ready to drive large vehicles in a safe and proper manner.

Class 1 Training: The unlock of the gateway to professional driving

Class 1 training near me is the training that is needed to controls the largest category of vehicles on the road, namely the articulated lorries, or articulated trucks or tractors trailers.

The class 1 licence requires the drivers to take the theory test alongside practical tests which in include hazard perception, road safety and handling test.

In the training, you will be taught how to manoeuvre big vehicles and how to maintain and respond to different road surfaces as well as how to transport goods safely and effectively. Long distance delivery is achievable after passing through the Class 1 training and the drivers are more likely to earn more than the other drivers.

HGV Training: A Wider Concern with HGVs

Class 1 HGV training is a more generic term that can mean training for any type of category from the heavy goods vehicles right from category C+E to category C. HGV drivers work with lorries, delivery trucks and any other huge vehicle that is used to transport goods over short or long distance. The training provides an understanding of the operation of a large vehicle, its weight and size, and legal requirements of road traffic and carriage of goods.

HGV drivers are much sought after in the UK and getting professional HGV training lead to a satisfying and well paid job. HGV training must involve a theoretical component, at least in the form of lectures as well as practical driving lessons with a qualified HGV driving instructor.

C1 Training: An Upgrade for Minor Sized Commercial Vehicles

C1 training is targeted at learners who wish to drive vehicles that have a maximum allowable mass of between 3.5 and 7.5 thousand standard tuns. C1 training entails those aspects of the vehicle and the operation of the same that drivers of small commercial vehicles require in order to handle the same safely.

This training is commonly needed in order to operate business use vans for work or development vehicles such as motor homes. The C1 licence is also necessary for driving vehicles that are heavier than car licence but not so heavy as for Class 2 licence.

Conclusion

He is saying this is it because this is the design and it is the way it is in the back and the front the front would look different it would have the standard firebird look with that fairing in the front but a little bit different but this is almost right on

Thor Freya

This is a different concept car but this is very fast he says it's almost the exact same thing and we have seen people make these and they go extremely fast and he says yeah we have to do a special front end and it's different it's really doesn't have much air intake to it and it's not many fairings and it's harder to drive that's lower speeds but we do understand that

Mac Daddy

He means fly but really this is amazing we have seen this it's not a real car yet but we do know what he's saying this is what it looks like it's awesome

Ben Arnold

And we are going to sign and we're going to sell it

Mac Daddy

We can't get those stupid Mercedes over here anymore and we're not over there as much as we should be

Mac Daddy

It's not like we aren't but really we can't seem to buy it either no we can they just don't make them like this. And it's not a titanium alloy they kind of suck they won't do it and he's going to make the firebird out of metal there's a little thicker and stronger metal and it will handle the speed of course you can probably special order alloy. Hands of C12 the C1 would also be metal and we do approve that

Ben

We're going to go ahead and type this up as an agreement and we do know which ones they're talking about and what areas and we did talk about it

Thor Freya

This is close to his design he says the front end requires a special fin when you going to certain speed as long as you adjust it down enough you won't take off as you slow down you don't really have to adjust it up because we're down pressure when you're going slower is not a problem so we actually don't mind complex system and he doesn't like the computer version and you'll have certain speeds that they tell you you have to adjust it and you might have like a computer and your manual there's a way to do it but more solid state and they agree computerizing it is just terrible it sounds great

SERVICE November- Non-profit tutoring of German

For the longer service plan I decided to focus on helping someone I know and someone in need, to help my own community. My acquaintance is currently a student of a technical high school and in the following years of her education she Is obligated to drive to Germany for her practicum. She has no prior knowledge to this language and the school year 2023/2024 is the first year ever she has met with the language. As someone who attended German school, has a B1 certificate and currently aims for the C1 certificate as for my willingness to study in Germany, I offered my help. My help is non-profit, the only elements that I was provided prior with was the German course book for named “Magnet smart 3 zesty ćwiczeń I magnet smart 3 podręcznik”. Currently the person that I am tutoring has no ability to spare the budget in order to pay for a tutor, as her family is in great financial distress but out of the respect for her I won’t get into further detail. Our first lesson involved the organisation of her work, the goals she set for herself. 

Her goals:

Naming herself 

Asking for the way in a new place

Ability to rent a hotel room, pay for gas at the gas station

Communicate in a restaurant 

Communicate with her future co-workers during practicum 

Before she is able to achieve that she has to grasp the basic concepts of: grammar, spelling and listening. The lessons take place 1 hour and 30 minutes each, one time per week, depending on her availability. The lesson started with the basics on the 19th of November.

Dash Clusters Done Right: Complete C3, C2, and C1 Corvette Restoration

When you get behind the wheel of your Corvette, does your dash make you feel, well, “down?” Has your dash cluster begun to show the wear and tear of the years? Does it seem like your entire dash cluster needs sprucing up? That’s exactly the kind of thing we’ve helped with so many times since 1977. Here at CS of MD West, we can restore your dash cluster and, by extension, your Corvette. No matter whether you need a C3, C2, or C1 Corvette restoration, we’ve got you covered.  

What Makes Our Dash Cluster Restoration Different

Restoring a dash cluster is unique work, in that it’s as much about science and mechanics as it is art. Yes, we can make sure that your instruments go through a proper mechanical restoration so that they function and perform exactly as they were intended, but we can also do a beautiful, cosmetic restoration, too. That way, your dash cluster performs as well as it looks. To ensure that you get the best work done possible, we do all of this in-house in our own facility. That way, we make sure that you receive exactly what you should.

C1 Corvette Restoration of Dash Clusters

We understand how challenging it can be to find the gauges you need for your 1953-1962 Corvette. The good news is: we can restore all of the gauges. So, if there’s a gauge from your C1 Corvette, we can restore it to its original performance, to ensure it works in the manner you desire. That said, we don’t restore the 1958-1962 painted housings.

What Our Dash Cluster Work Can Include

Every dash cluster/gauge is different, with different needs, concerns, and so forth. That said, no matter which part it is that we’re to restore, we always do the most thorough job possible. Case in point, if you need a 1963-1967 dash cluster restored, we perform a complete disassembly. Then, once everything is separated, we repaint the housing, inside and out, to ensure it looks its best. Once that’s done, we clean everything and test everything. That means calibrating the small gauges, repainting the pointers, and more. Indeed, we try to reuse the original parts as much as possible. We only replace them when we absolutely have to.

No Detail Too Small

Many of our classic Corvette customers come to us because they want to be able to drive their classic Corvette around at its peak performance. We can accommodate those owners. By that same token, we’re also able to help those who want to show their car at N. C. R. S. or Bloomington-type events. That could include (if they have a 1963 Corvette, for example) replacing the dash cluster lenses with new plastic lenses (just like the original). Of course, if you just want to drive it around, we can do so with glass, too.

More Than Dash Clusters

Dash clusters, tachometers, speedometers, and the like, are a major part of what we specialize in here at CS of MD West. However, it’s far from all that we offer. To see how we can help you and your classic corvette, give us a call or check out our site.

UC Merced CatTracks

UC Merced offers a decent bus network that operates 9 lines total, 7 weekday lines and 2 weekend lines. For students who don’t drive or have a car, these buses are their main source of transportation to and from campus and getting around the city. With majority of trips being made to Target, The Promenade, Merced Amtrak station, Walmart, Downtown Merced and various stops that serve off-campus student housing. While the Cattracks service does its job at getting students around, like any transportation service. It has its issues. The main issue being that service frequency is very low, according to the schedules across all lines. Service frequency can range from one bus every 40 minutes to one bus every hour and a half

Estimated service frequency(min-max): Weekday routes

C1: Every 50 min - hour 30 min

C2: Every 50 min - hour 10 min

Fastcat: Every 1hr 10 min - 1hr 30 min

Fastcat 2: Every 1hr- 1hr 30 min

G Line: Every 1hr - 1hr 20 min

Yosemite Express: Every 40 min - 1hr

Bobcat Express: Every 40 min

Weekend routes

E1: Every 1hr 10 min - 1hr 40 min

E2: 50 min - 1hr

This is an issue for many reasons. But the main reason is the less frequency there is, the longer people will have to wait. How this impacts students is everyone’s time is valuable, especially for a college student. Many of us are busy throughout the course of the day and taking a trip to Target for example, would take up a significant amount of time since that individual would have to wait for the bus at the university transit center and again at the bus stop at Target. This issue is made even worse with there being only 2 weekend routes and only one of them stops at Target, combined with the low frequency, this can take out a significant portion of someone’s day.
