rotinas

No dia-a-dia toma-se banho de manhã antes de sair de casa. Durante as férias, toma-se banho à noite antes do jantar.

Sabe bem tomar banho antes do jantar.

from 1984, me too, so what?

Relva, céu azul, óculos de sol, água, ausência de lama, grøn tuborg, Florence & The Machine, Lykke Li, The Raveonettes, Band of Horses, Ladytron e Arctic Monkeys: as premissas eram boas. E concretizaram-se todas, com a Florence a conquistar os corações dinamarqueses, os Raveonettes a embalarem-nos eficientemente, a Lykke Li a pôr toda a gente a dançar, Band of Horses durante os últimos raios de sol a lançarem uns 'Tusind tak's e 'Fy fan's e também umas melodias engraçadas, Ladytron a abrir a noite em grande e... pois.

Depois de os Last Shadow Puppets me terem arrebatado completamente em estilo, determinacão e eficiência o ano passado na Vega, a expectativa para os Monkeys era alta, altíssima. À nossa volta ouviam-se coros entoando 'FROM 1984'. Novo álbum. Josh Homme. Single prometedor.

Mas quando os únicos diálogos com o público se resumem a 'Are you going to make a sad face everytime we play a new song?', 'This is the only song you'll know from the gig, so enjoy it' (antes da I bet you look good...) e outros ditos semelhantes, coroados por óculos escuros, uma data de cabelo e arrogância q.b.+++++++++, é como se a cereja no topo do bolo fosse afinal de plástico.

Preciso de recuperar antes de poder voltar a ouvir o Humbug com ouvidos de ouvir.

Agora já só tenho 3, a da esquerda foi embora. Estou apaixonadíssima pela terceira, a Canon Epoca. Fotos aqui.

tive 7

Vai ser longo. A conclusão é: o sistema de classificacão académico dinamarquês podia ser mais consistente, simples e fácil de calcular. É como a conversão para coroas dinamarquesas: 1 euro = 7,4 coroas dinamarquesas. Não há maneira de dar volta a isto e penso sempre que é mais barato do que na realidade é. Enfim. Adiante.

Evolucão do sistema de classificacão académico dinamarquês, via wikipedia.

1788: Latin scale
The Latin scale had five steps:
Laudabilis præ ceteris
Laudabilis
Haud illaudabilis
Non contemnendus
0
0 was an outright failing grade - there was a limitation of the number of non contemendus there could be in a passing student's examination. The highest grade, laudabilis præ ceteris was explicitly named a grade for exceptional purposes only.

1805: Ørsted scale
The first version of the Ørsted scale had six steps:
Ug - udmærket godt - excellently good (numeral value: 8)
Mg - meget godt - very good (7)
G - godt - good (5)
Tg - temmelig godt - pretty good (1)
Mdl - mådeligt - all right (−7)
Slet - bad (−23)

1871: Extended Ørsted scale
In 1871 the Ørsted scale was extended with plus and minus-steps, and numeral values were added accordingly.
Ug (8)
Ug− (7⅔)
Mg+ (7⅓)
Mg (7)
Mg− (6⅓)
G+ (5⅔)
G (5)
G− (3⅔)
Tg+ (3⅓)
Tg (1)
Tg− (−1⅔)
Mdl+ (−4⅓)
Mdl (−7)
Mdl− (−12⅓)
Slet+ (−17⅔)
Slet (−23)
The g was still the minimum passing grade.

1903: Numeral scale
In 1903 the Ørsted-scale was scrapped for a numeral one, with five steps:
8
6
4
2
0
8 and 0 were – like laudabilis præ ceteris – exceptional grades. You would fail if you had two or more zeroes in your exam.

1911: New numeral scale
In 1911 another numeral scale was introduced:
6
5
4
3
2
0
4 was the minimum passing grade.

1919: Extended Ørsted scale
In 1919 the extended Ørsted scale returned, with numerals.

1943: Modified extended Ørsted scale
This version, introduced in 1943, changed the numerals (essentially by adding 7 to the former numbers) and removed the mdl−- and slet+-grades:
Ug (15)
Ug− (14⅔)
Mg+ (14⅓)
Mg (14)
Mg− (13⅓)
G+ (12⅔)
G (12)
G− (10⅔)
Tg+ (9⅓)
Tg (8)
Tg− (5⅓)
Mdl+ (2⅔)
Mdl (0)
Slet (−16)

1963: 13-scale
The 13-scale was introduced in 1963 and used until 2006 (2007 in universities). The scale started out as a relative scale but has since its introduction in 1963 changed to an absolute scale at all levels of education.
13 - given for the exceptionally independent and excellent performance.
11 - given for the independent and excellent performance
10 - given for the excellent but not particularly independent performance
9 - given for the good performance, a little above average
8 - given for the average performance
7 - given for the mediocre performance, slightly below average
6 - given for the just acceptable performance
5 - given for the hesitant and not satisfactory performance
03 - given for the very hesitant, very insufficient and unsatisfactory performance
00 - given for the completely unacceptable performance

The gaps between 00 & 03, 03 & 5 and 11 & 13 are there to signify a larger difference between those grades.

Starting with the academic year 2005-06, a new scale was introduced, 7-trins-skalaen ("7-step-scale"; colloquially dubbed the 12-scale), designed to be compatible with the ECTS-scale:

12 - excellent - high level of command of all aspects – no or only a few minor weaknesses
10 - very good - high level of command of most aspects – only minor weaknesses
7 - good - good command – some weaknesses
4 - fair - some command – some major weaknesses
02 - adequate - the minimum requirements for acceptance
00 - inadequate - does not meet the minimum requirements for acceptance
−3 - unacceptable - unacceptable in all respects.

Tive 7.
