seal of the state

Read a random definition: molliter manus imposuit

A quick definition of seal of the state:

A seal is a special mark or design that is put on important papers to show that they are real and authentic. It can be made of wax, a sticker, or even just a written word. The purpose of a seal is to keep the paper safe and to prove that it is really from the person or organization that it says it is from. Sometimes, a seal is also used to close an envelope or package tightly so that nobody can open it without permission.

A more thorough explanation:

A seal is a device or substance that joins two things, usually making the seam impervious. It can also refer to a piece of wax, a wafer, or some other substance affixed to a document to authenticate or prove its authenticity. The purpose of a seal is to secure or prove authenticity.

  • A seal can be a piece of wax with an imprint of an individualized signet ring.
  • A corporate seal is a seal adopted by a corporation for executing and authenticating its corporate and legal instruments.
  • A state seal is the official seal of a particular state.
  • A wafer seal is a plastic or paper disk, usually red or gold, affixed to a legal document as a substitute for a wax seal.

These examples illustrate how seals can be used to authenticate or execute documents, and how they can be specific to certain entities such as corporations or states. A wafer seal is an alternative to a traditional wax seal.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.

I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
