2024.05.17 11:30 Cali_Hepburn My momšŸ˜•

Big rant alert
I love my mom a lot, I donā€™t hate her and I donā€™t think sheā€™s inherently a bad person. Honestly though I have many memories and feelings that make me feel like I was very emotionally neglected. My mom is a victim of many forms of abuse by her adoptive parents, she told me while I was a young age that she wanted kids of her own to create a good family which looking back feels very strange with the context. A bit later, which started when I was again very young she met a guy, Iā€™ll call him Keith, and Keith was very very neglectful towards me. He had kids of his own and therefore he didnā€™t want to give me more attention than his kids, and he would often see me doing self harm as a young kid like choking myself and hitting myself as funny. He would also yell at me and sometimes would trap me under bed sheets until I couldnā€™t breathe. I remember one time I was young and had to have a stool to step on to see myself in the bathroom mirror, I stepped on it not knowing our cat had its paws beneath it and the cat screamed. I was horrified and immediately stepped off but Keith was home alone with me and heard it, he immediately opened the bathroom door and yelled at me while I tearfully tried to explain what had happened. My mom did nothing and defended Keith. I also came home with my mom one night to see rose petals and candles all about, Keith came out and was affectionate with my mom, but then proceeded to tell me to stay in my room the entire night, the only reason I came out of my room later was because I had to pee so badly and I was so scared when I did, before i peed I stopped by moms room and asked if it was okay to use the bathroom, keith said yeah as if I was stupid, again my mom did nothing. I longed for a dad figure to be there because my biological dad (letā€™s call him Kyle) left when I was about two and I had a very limited relationship with him. My mom forced me to call him every week even when I would beg not to and after each phone call to him Iā€™d be devastated for days. Later on when I was about nine years old my mom, although very estranged from Keith, got with him for a bit and had a kid, my baby brother (Iā€™ll call him D), but Keith didnā€™t want anything to do with D and I ended up helping with raising him while my mom worked. I love D but he has many special needs and I ended up helping a lot, taking him while my mom felt stressed and would sometimes throw things (which she did with Keith, I have several memories of her throwing stuff like silver ware and keys close to Keithā€™s face, which six or seven year old me would try to regulate, Iā€™d run after her trying to comfort her). A year later she had my sister (Iā€™ll call her T) and when she told me she was pregnant I cried my eyes out because I was so stressed already with D and I knew my responsibilityā€™s would become more especially since Keith didnā€™t want anything to do with D and T. I remember we went out with dinner with my grandparents that night after she told me about T and I had to pretend everything was okay especially since my mom didnā€™t want them knowing. Fast forward a bit and my mom has a new fiancĆ© who was super weird and hated me from the get go. It came to a head when he sent me a text that I didnā€™t respond to immediately and he stopped talking to me. He even told my mom I was dead to him and she didnā€™t do anything but relay that to me. She would also tell me everything he disliked about me, one day before school she went on a rant about all the stuff he thought I was doing wrong and was bad about me, and in my first period class other kids were trying to comfort me, even ones I didnā€™t know, because they saw that I was in such a bad mental state and couldnā€™t hold it together. They would also have sex loudly in the room next to me, I told her I felt uncomfortable hearing it and she told me to get earplugs even though I was like 13 and couldnā€™t afford anything. I also tried to tell her I felt like I was third wheeling their relationship like with Keith, she told me to stop talking and walked away. She would also tell me that R hated me and my siblings and often talked about leaving me with them forever. Later on they had a kid together (Iā€™ll call her O) during my sophomore year of high-school. She also has some mental problems and so it was difficult, when she was an infant my mom informed me I wasnā€™t going to be in physical high school anymore, that she enrolled me in online high school so that I could take care of O throughout the day and pick up D and T when they got out of school. D was in first grade though while T was in kindergarten so I often would help raise O, go and get T and then go back to get D while carrying O and guiding T. I also would have to stand outside and wait for T to get out it kindergarten with other parents while holding O but I was under strict instructions not to let anyone touch O because my mom didnā€™t want it. Later on I finished high school and went to online community college, while that was happening she met her newest man who is now her husband (letā€™s call him Ray). Ray is still in her life but again didnā€™t like me. The first night he was there he told me he was angry with me because in his eyes my mom was doing all the work and I was doing nothing (he first came over when I was with family which I coordinated with my mom but he saw it as I was gone and she had to do everything). Then the patterns began to emerge again, my mom would tell me that Ray would go to her and tell her that he was pissed at me. Not only that but both my mom and Ray would come to me for advice on how to keep their relationship good and I tried to help as best as I knew how. Later on he and my mom had a kid (letā€™s call him R) and I would have to take care of R and the rest of the kids for hours on end, often being the one to find ways to help him stay calm and feed him. Ray would offer me weed and alcohol often, later which he used against me as a way of being like ā€œIā€™m giving you things so be gratefulā€. Later on in that I came out of the closet, my mom was mad at me for it and wouldnā€™t tell me she loved me for months, she barely acknowledged me and yelled at me. Ray would tell me he was ashamed of me especially for upsetting my mom. He would often tell me I was lazy, irresponsible and dumb. Also after I came out he told me I was unnatural and dumb. Later I was in the early stages of moving out and he literally told me ā€œyeah well if you were actually smart youā€™d stay here with usā€ and would also shame me for comforting my siblings after he would yell at them and hit them. He very much prides himself on how he can intimidate people especially me and whenever I spoke up with him heā€™d sit me down and make me shake. There was one instance where I actually stood my ground a bit and told him ā€œwell hey I didnā€™t back downā€ and his response was ā€œHA yeah thatā€™s cuz I didnā€™t force you to back downā€. My mom was present at that conversation and completely defended him, even in conversations with her and I she completely defends him all the time. Iā€™ve tried to tell my mom how much Keith, R and ray hurt me and sheā€™d tell me to basically shut up. Especially with Keith because according to her that was in the past and therefore didnā€™t matter now. I also confronted her about how depressed and suicidal I was when she neglected me after I came out and she said I was responsible for how I felt in that time period. I also couldnā€™t have mental breakdowns or panic attacks around her because sheā€™d say I was overreacting and dumb for doing so. Despite all of that I still feel like Iā€™m in the wrong, which is why Iā€™m talking about it here, I still feel like I need confirmation that Iā€™m not a horrible kid. In my teen years I was very angry with her after all that happened with Keith and eventually R, I wasnā€™t the nicest person to her and I feel really guilty about that. So idk, maybe Iā€™m in the wrong here, idk. I just need some clarity ig.

2024.05.17 11:20 Low-Competition-9557 Need help on my employer regarding my HMO and salary

I am employed by an insurance agent manager last January 2022 as an Admin Assistant, Based sa Employee Handbook that we signed, I am subjected to a performance review upon regularization (6mos) and annual performance evaluation and application for HMO. I got both within the given time frame (6mos) . Fast forward to my 1st year being employed, I did not get the annual performance evaluation and he said that "Sa June pa ulit since ang last increase mo is June" I don't know if i that is how "annual evaluation" works . I waited June 2023 for my increase AKA "performance evaluation" but laging napupush ng months. Yun pala kaya napupush was my employer decided to switch companies. Details were confidential he instructed me to signed an NDA. Worried about losing my job and being unemployed, I signed it. Told me "WE" were going to another company , all benefits intact and the promised "Salary Increase". I got sick last November 2023 and tried to use my HMO, coordinator said to talk to my employer because i was tagged as "not currently working" for the previous company , I have to pay full price for the consult and some tests. January 2024, i was scheduled by my employer for a meeting to discuss the "Performance evaluation". To my dismay, I only got 1k increase monthly to my salary which I waited 1 year and 6 mos .When asked about the HMO, he said "Naghahanap pa for all agents and staff" What should I do about this ? How do I bring this up to him ? Okay lang ba na tinanggap ko ung increase which is a year and a half late ?

2024.05.17 11:06 Serious_Bug6441 France.tv's Groundbreaking 100% Cloud-Based Coverage of the Paris 2024 Olympic Torch Relay

France.tv's Groundbreaking 100% Cloud-Based Coverage of the Paris 2024 Olympic Torch Relay
Hey folks! Got some exciting news from the world of broadcasting and tech. France.tv is gearing up for the Paris 2024 Olympic Torch Relay, and they're doing it in a way that's never been done before. Starting May 8, 2024, they're covering the event with a 100% cloud-based production, using advanced 5G and Starlink technologies. Hereā€™s a breakdown of whatā€™s happening:
https://preview.redd.it/je9u1xbccy0d1.png?width=982&format=png&auto=webp&s=4bc63e2d129f946f0a0fecf89fb39ceaa9eb267c

A Journey of Innovation

Imagine this: over 11,000 torchbearers carrying the Olympic flame through 1,625 kilometers of France's beautiful landscapes. For 80 days, France.tv will stream the relay live, 24/7. This isn't just a huge logistical feat; itā€™s a showcase of cutting-edge technology.
Traditional broadcasting with bulky gear and big teams wouldnā€™t cut it for an event this long. Instead, France.tv is using lightweight, eco-friendly cloud technology and hybrid networks to bring you every moment of the relay.

Overcoming Network Challenges

One of the toughest parts of live broadcasting is keeping a stable network connection, especially when covering both remote and urban areas. France.tvā€™s solution? A hybrid network combining public 4G/5G, private 5G, and Starlink.
Picture this: a convoy of vehicles with state-of-the-art cameras following the torch through cities and countrysides. Drones capture stunning aerial shots, while mobile teams get ground-level perspectives. All these feeds are transmitted in real-time through a robust network, so you donā€™t miss a thing.

The Tech Behind the Magic: TVU Networks' SaaS Suite

Central to this operation are TVU Networks' SaaS products, which allow for a seamless, cloud-based workflow from capture to broadcast. Here's what theyā€™re using:
  • TVU Producer: Manages live feeds, integrates graphics, and produces high-quality streams from anywhere. Itā€™s user-friendly and powerful.
  • TVU Partyline: Keeps directors and camera crews in sync with real-time communication, ensuring smooth broadcasts.
  • TVU Commentator: Allows remote commentators to provide live, synchronized commentary, making the event more engaging.
  • TVU Channel: Handles the 24/7 playout and distribution, making sure the relay is continuously broadcasted without interruption.

Workflow Overview

Hereā€™s a quick look at how theyā€™re pulling this off:
  • Capture and Transmission: Mobile teams, drones, and convoys capture live footage, transmitted via 5G and Starlink networks.
  • Production: At the FTV headquarters, TVU Producer and TVU Partyline facilitate live production. Directors and sound techs work with remote commentators to ensure the live feed is top-notch.
  • Playout and Distribution: TVU Channel manages the final distribution, coordinating with the editorial team to maintain a 24/7 broadcast schedule, reaching viewers via OTT platforms.

A Commitment to Sustainability

France.tvā€™s approach is setting a new standard for sustainable broadcasting. By using cloud-based solutions and hybrid networks, theyā€™re significantly cutting their carbon footprint. The results? Over 65% savings on production costs and a twelvefold reduction in CO2 emissions. Plus, theyā€™re avoiding planes and helicopters for transmission, making this setup even greener.

Conclusion: A New Dawn for Live Broadcasting

The Paris 2024 Olympic Torch Relay isnā€™t just a prelude to the Games; itā€™s a beacon of whatā€™s possible in live broadcasting. France.tvā€™s use of cloud-based solutions, combined with 5G and Starlink, is setting a new benchmark for sustainability, efficiency, and tech excellence.
As the torchbearers carry the flame across France, theyā€™re also carrying a torch for innovation, showing how modern tech can create a more sustainable and connected future. This project highlights human ingenuity and the endless possibilities ahead.
The lessons from this will influence the broadcasting industry, encouraging more sustainable and innovative approaches to live event production. The Paris 2024 Olympic Torch Relay stands as a symbol of progress, lighting the way for media technology pros worldwide.
Letā€™s celebrate this milestone not just as a broadcasting achievement but as a glimpse into a future where tech and sustainability go hand in hand, bringing the worldā€™s most inspiring stories to life.

2024.05.17 10:17 GreedyPersonality390 Effective Ayat E Karima for Marriage

Effective Ayat E Karima for Marriage
Ayat e karima for marriage
Besides, Ayat E Karima marriage, for women, it has become the stepping stone to make their voices be heard in all the possible fields.
The term Ayat E Karima refers to a verse in the Holy Quran that is very often used and adapted into many Islamic rituals, such as marriage among others. The verse comes from Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 286, and reads:The saying is in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 286: "O you who have believed, do not render yourselves unclean by hunting some game".
"And Allah never gave a spirit more than it can handle, good is the outcome but wickedness is too. Our Lord, do not give us a hardy burden as those of before had it. " O Lord, and You can forgive us as much as You have forgiven those people before, not give us a hard burden because they were also once put through it.
Smite us, but deliver your blows with those we being unperturbed, not the excess that is beyond our strength. And send us your mercy and your pardon. Please give us compassion and kindness. "O Lord! Please keep us safe in order that we be the standard-carriers of victory on the unbelievers", they prayed.
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:286)
Ayat e karima for marriage , According to this verse, the famous and significant verses of the Qurā€™an are represented by Ayat Al-Kareema, or the Noble Verse. There is not only dos and don'ts instruction, but also deep wisdom and kindness about the God, his mercy, forgiveness and protection for believers.
The narration of this verse symbolizes the new married couple and it is regarded as a blessing for their union. Each of the family relatives say salat al tashreeq and ask Allah also to pardon them of any mistakes (fault) and grant happiness and peace between the couple with His (Allah) mercy and calmness.
Ayat e karima for marriage, The themes covered in Ayat Al-Kareema are highly relevant for newlyweds beginning their marriage journey:Those themes addressed in Ayat Al-Kareema are definitely very appropriate and hugely valued by newlyweds who are just at the beginning of their marital endeavor.
Seeking Forgiveness and Mercy
The aforementioned passage also reveals one's aspiration to ask for Allah's forgiveness. Hurtful things such as unkind words may inadvertently be said by the bride and groom even though they are not perfect beings, so maintaining a mindset of forgiveness is essential when it comes to marital challenges.
he Most Important Things I Have Learned: self-awareness and self-acceptance and kindness and grace to other people too.
Allah assures each believing individual that nothing in any burden that will be too much to carry. They should be understanding, ready to communicate, patient and allow the other one to use his strengths and competencies.
To hand ourselves over completely to him and render him as the only the Protector, who will run the course for us.
As they jointly struggle with their difficulties, knowing that Allah is the provider and the helper of everything in the universe, they will feel balanced and joyful.
Problems are no more.
The largest amount of effort comes when the biggest day of their relationship comes, and couples have to accustom to sharing their lives with the one they love by this time. Here, God makes His audience know that He will not give any more than everyone can bear, this is evident that He is the God of compassion, lenience, and mercifulness. He will create an illusion that the difficulties and obstacles will become not so terrifying anymore.
The Overcoming of Hatefulness and Danger Plane events.
Those who wanted to kill them were tagged as the infidels, the haters. This is a magician's wand in any war with opponents or visitors, when something appears to be the cause of having peaceful family life.
In fact, Ayat e karima for marriage perfectly represents the whole ideology of a marital aspect in Islam consisting of belief, kindness, firm support and Allah for-giveness. Bringing this slogan in the form of a song or a mantra most likely will produce positive results for spouses in being able to handle frequent marital disagreements and fights by compromise. A sense of assurance also comes in that God undertakes the responsibility of everyone who calls out to him since he is in charge of every believer.

2024.05.17 10:07 Madytvs1216 I do not know why my country acts like this.

I am Turkish and meanwhile I am generally neutral in this war, if I had to support a side I would support Israel. Turkey has suffered a lot under PKK terrorism and today the same thing is happening to Israel under HAMAS terrorism.
so-called Palestine has acted in hostility to Turkey every time in history yet our government supports them blindly.
The Palestinians, who not only did not obey the call of the Caliph and did not participate in this operation, attacked the Turkish soldiers from behind the front and left the Turkish soldiers between two fires, causing 14,000 of our soldiers to be martyred and thousands of our soldiers to be captured.
Those who shot us in this operation were mostly Arabs from Gaza.
And the blinding of 15,000 Turkish soldiers who were captured on the Palestinian front, with the help of the betrayals of the Arabs, in the Seydibeşir Kuveysna Osmani Useray-i Harbiye camp.
Palestinian Arabs unite with Lawrence and participate in the Aqaba raid, martyring all our soldiers in Aqaba.
They immortalize these treacherous actions by creating a relief of Lawrence in the desert.
Palestine flag, It is the official symbol of the betrayal of the Palestinians.
6) year 1976,
Two Palestinian terrorists opened fire on people boarding an Israeli plane at Yeşilkƶy airport. Four people died, and twenty people were injured in the attack.
The terrorist organization PKK is looking for a terrorist organization to cooperate with in the Middle East.
And the Palestine Liberation Organization embrace the PKK and begin to engage in activities against Turkey in coordination with the PKK.
Year 1979,
The Egyptian embassy in Ankara is raided by Palestinian terrorists and 1 police officer and 1 guard are martyred.
9) year 1980.
George Habash, leader of the Palestinian People's Liberation Front, opens his camps in Sidon, Lebanon, to the Asala terrorist organization, and these Palestinian terrorists also support Asala's actions in which they murdered our diplomats.
10) year 1989.
Yasser Arafat makes statements, "We support Armenia's just cause."
On this occasion, it supports the Karabakh invasion and Armenian massacres.
11) year 1993.
Palestinian Arabs also support Masoud Barzani's "independent Kurdistan" idea.
12) year 2002;
Major Cengiz ToytunƧ, whose car was stopped and martyred while he was serving in the peacekeeping force in the West Bank.
13) year 2009,
Palestinian President Mahmut Abbas, Erdoğan's friend, goes to Cyprus and makes a statement that "Turkish soldiers are occupiers in Cyprus" and says that they support Greek theses in Cyprus.
Also, let me add here the video of PLO leader Arafat embracing Makarios.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzzcrepswww&t=3s
14) year 2012. al nakba cup.
In this cup, Palestine invites the so-called Kurdistan team and plays a match with Kurdistan.
Some matches played in this tournament;
15) year 2019.
The Arab League issued a condemnation message for the Peace Spring operation launched by Turkey in Syria.
Palestine was also among those condemning Turkey.
16) year 2020.
Palestine becomes a member of the Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum, which was established against Turkey's claims in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Within the Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum, Greece, Egypt, Greek Cyprus and Israel are taking a stand against Turkey's blue homeland thesis.
17) year 2020.
Palestine supports China's genocide against Uyghur Turks and supports China's policy towards Uyghur Turks.
TL;DR: This is a full list of the Palestinian state acting in hostility against us. Israel is a natural ally to Turkey as we can see. Mossad operatives helped Turkey in the capture of PKK leader terrorist Abdullah Ɩcalan.
We should not tolerate this state who has helped ASALA and PKK engaging in terrorism.

2024.05.17 07:55 lotosaseu I flew on a plane piloted by a woman and this happened

So a couple of days this happened and I shared it on one of my private womenā€™s groups. And the ladies asked to share it with more people. So here goes.
I was flying home from one event. I was given a seat in second row of the plane and as I sat in that place I got this weird feeling as if the universe put me in that particular place for some reason. At first I thought maybe I will get a reward of being alone in the row of seats so I can sleep more comfortably, but as the last people came in someone sat next to me and I realised I was wrong.
A man with his wife or girlfriend came up to the first row and asked the female flight attendant if they could use the WC before liftoff. The flight attendant said it would be fine, but they would have to wait until all other passangers have boarded. As they were waiting for the WC, they realized that the places in first row are free and so they asked, if they could use them (because, as I understood, they wanted to sit together, but they got separate places). The flight attendant responded that these seats are 20 euro more expensive and they decided to buy them. As I was listening in on the conversation, it was obvious from the way he spoke, that this man was an intelligent and respectful person.
When he sat in this place, he peaked into the pilotā€™s cabin and said loudly and with a surprise in his voice to the female flight attendant ā€œwill the pilot be a woman today?ā€ (I expected him to praise her, but the next sentence rapidly changed my perception of this manā€¦) ā€œIs this even safe?ā€ I was shocked. I saw the flight attendant made herself smaller and said ā€œshe is a very experienced pilotā€. Then he asked ā€œVery experienced? How old is she? She looks really youngā€¦ Or maybe sheā€™s like 40?ā€ Now at this point I wanted to scream. But what actually came out of me was a snicker with a headshake. The man that sat next to me asked what this other guy said that made me react this way, I explained and saw a supporting look in his eyes.
After the conversation between the guy and flight attendant ended, I observed her as she had to do the security dance that they always do before the flight. As I have quite an extensive flying experience, I donā€™t usually take time to watch this safety instruction, but this time I was observing very attentively. Her body was doing the moves and on her face you could very clearly see pain: the type of pain that you have when you want to cry, but you canā€™t allow yourself to do it.
When the plane lifted, I fell asleep. I woke up an hour later and I received this clear message that I had to pass on to the pilot. At this moment I was extremely happy I bought a pen as I was thinking I would write some song lyrics, while waiting for the plane ā€“ I didnā€™t write much, but now I knew why I needed that pen. I found a small part of the paper that was not full of random lyrics of mine and prepared it for the message. I was very worried to make a mistake on the only small piece of paper I had, so I practiced what I wanted to write next to my lyrics before I actually wrote it out on the page, so this is why I still have the actual text I wrote.
ā€œHi,
I wanted to express, how sorry I am that you have to experience ignorant comments from m*sog*nist men for choosing to be a pilot.
I believe by following your passion you uplift & inspire women & especially girls that get to experience flying with you.
Some weak male egos get threatened by this, but this is a very needed process for the change that is occurring in the collective in finding more balance after a long history of patriarchy.
On behalf of all the little girls of this world
Thank you.ā€
As the crew started preparing for landing, I stopped the flight attendant that I saw was really affected by that situation, gave her the piece of paper and I said ā€žThis is not trash. This is a message for you and for the pilot. Read it first and if you feel like it, share it with her too.ā€œ The flight attendant thanked me and then read the message. She looked at me with a very warm smile and said she will definitely give it to the pilot. She then pulled back the little curtain they have in their area and invited two other female flight attendants that were on the flight for a chat. I saw them reading the paper, then I saw her pointing to the guy (presumably explaining the context for my message). All three of them then looked at me and smiled warmly.
But then I started having thoughts that I should say something to this guy as well. And the first thoughts that I had werenā€˜t very nice. Then I heard my teacherā€˜s voice in my head saying ā€žNow is your chance to turn your poisons into pearlsā€œ and I realised that I do want to draw a boundary, but with love.
When the plane landed, I quickly grabbed my stuff and as I was waiting for the door to open, I was observing this guy collect his stuff. When he finished and stood up to wait, I gathered all my courage (I literally felt my feet physically tremble how afraid I actually was) and I told him:
ā€žI would like to tell you something, because I feel you now have a chance to learn and to grow.
For this lady to pilot this plane, in her studies and work she had to show a degree of excellence that was way above most of her male peers. And this is because of such ignorant viewpoints like yours of some male teachers and colleagues that she must have had in her life. I truly hope that if you ever have a daughter you will not make her feel smaller the way you tried to make the pilot of our plane feel today.ā€œ
He said ā€žyou probably did not hear the end of our conversation. In the end I told the flight attendants that actually probably it is true that flying with women is safer. And that all of it was a jokeā€œ.
I answered ā€žTrue, I didnā€˜t hear this part. But then your joke was not funny. Because I saw their reaction. And it was not funny for me.ā€œ
I noticed a small supporting smile from the man that sat next to me during the flight. The door oppened and the guy from the first row stepped to the side to let me leave the plane first.
Today absolutely by chance I saw these statistics (from the Female Quotient in fb):
ā€žWomen make up less than 20% of the workforce in most aviation occupations: Only 5% of pilots are women and women make up about 6% of airline CEOs. <..>ā€œ
I donā€˜t know what you can take from my story. But what I hope is that you allow yourselves to fly in a pursuit of your dreams whatever your dreams might be, regardless of some men that get scared so easily.
P.S. I got some criticism on the story sounding fake and also that I seem to think I am somehow above all the people I've encountered. This is definitely not the case. I just felt some stronger connection to my inner light on that day. On most days I would not have enough courage to even give a message to the flight attendant. I would not even think of addressing the guy. And I would not expect any person to always be able to stand up for what they feel is right. It took a lot of energy from me. I was literally crying while writing the little note. This was a story of me personally overcoming my fears that made me feel a bit more empowered.

2024.05.17 03:13 businessnewstv How to Address the Growing Demand for Home Medical Supplies in 2024

Understanding the growing demand for home medical supplies

The growing demand for home medical supplies is a significant trend in the healthcare industry. With an increasing number of individuals opting for home-based care, the need for medical supplies that can be used in the comfort of one's own home has surged. This trend can be attributed to several factors, including the aging population, advancements in medical technology, and the desire for personalized and convenient healthcare solutions. As a result, healthcare providers and suppliers are facing the challenge of meeting this rising demand while ensuring the availability and accessibility of essential medical supplies. Understanding and addressing this growing demand is crucial for ensuring the well-being and quality of life for patients receiving home-based care.

Factors contributing to the increased need for home medical supplies

The demand for home medical supplies has been steadily increasing in recent years due to several factors. One of the main contributors to this trend is the aging population. As the population ages, there is a greater need for medical supplies that can be used at home to manage chronic conditions and maintain overall health. Additionally, advancements in medical technology have made it possible for more complex medical procedures to be performed in a home setting, further driving the need for home medical supplies. The COVID-19 pandemic has also played a significant role in the increased demand for home medical supplies. With the emphasis on social distancing and minimizing unnecessary hospital visits, many individuals are opting to receive medical care at home, resulting in a higher demand for supplies such as personal protective equipment and monitoring devices. Overall, these factors have contributed to the growing need for home medical supplies.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the demand for home medical supplies

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the demand for home medical supplies. As people have been advised to stay at home and avoid unnecessary visits to healthcare facilities, the need for home medical supplies has skyrocketed. This surge in demand has led to various challenges in meeting the needs of patients and healthcare providers. One key aspect that has emerged during this time is the importance of accepting credit card payments. Accepting credit card payments has become crucial for home medical supply providers as it offers convenience and flexibility to both patients and healthcare professionals. By accepting credit card payments, providers can streamline the purchasing process, reduce administrative burden, and ensure timely delivery of essential supplies. Furthermore, accepting credit card payments also enhances transparency and accountability in financial transactions, which is essential in the healthcare industry. In conclusion, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the demand for home medical supplies has highlighted the significance of accepting credit card payments as a means to address the growing needs of patients and healthcare providers.

Challenges in meeting the demand for home medical supplies

Supply chain disruptions and shortages

Supply chain disruptions and shortages have had a significant impact on the availability of home medical supplies. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased demand for these supplies, leading to challenges in sourcing and distribution. Supermarkets, businesses, and banking institutions have all been affected by these disruptions, as they rely on a steady supply of medical supplies to meet the needs of their customers. The shortage of home medical supplies has highlighted the importance of a resilient and efficient supply chain to ensure the continuous availability of essential products.

Increasing costs of raw materials and manufacturing

The increasing costs of raw materials and manufacturing have become a major challenge for the home medical supplies industry. This has led to a significant rise in the prices of essential medical equipment and supplies, making it difficult for patients to access the care they need. The rising costs can be attributed to various factors, including inflation, scarcity of raw materials, and increased demand. As a result, healthcare providers and patients are facing financial burdens and are struggling to meet the growing demand for home medical supplies. In order to address this issue, it is crucial for stakeholders in the industry to explore innovative solutions and strategies to reduce costs without compromising on the quality of care.

Limited availability of skilled healthcare professionals

Limited availability of skilled healthcare professionals is a significant challenge in meeting the growing demand for home medical supplies. With an aging population and an increasing number of people requiring specialized care at home, the need for qualified healthcare professionals is on the rise. However, the supply of skilled professionals has not kept pace with the demand, leading to a shortage in many areas. This shortage has resulted in longer wait times for patients in need of home medical supplies and has put additional strain on existing healthcare providers. To address this issue, it is essential to explore innovative solutions, such as leveraging technology to provide remote healthcare services and investing in training programs to attract and retain skilled professionals. By taking these steps, we can ensure that individuals in need of home medical supplies receive the care they require in a timely and efficient manner.

Strategies for addressing the growing demand

Investing in research and development

Investing in research and development is crucial for addressing the growing demand for home medical supplies. In order to meet the ever-evolving needs of patients, it is essential to continuously innovate and improve the products and services offered in this industry. One key area of focus is the development of cloud-based solutions. By leveraging the power of the cloud, healthcare providers can enhance the efficiency and accessibility of home medical supplies. Cloud-based platforms enable seamless inventory management, real-time tracking, and streamlined communication between healthcare professionals and patients. This technology not only improves the overall patient experience but also allows for better coordination and optimization of resources. As the demand for home medical supplies continues to rise, investing in research and development, particularly in cloud-based solutions, is paramount to meeting the needs of patients and ensuring the delivery of high-quality care.

Collaborating with healthcare providers and insurance companies

Collaborating with healthcare providers and insurance companies is crucial in addressing the growing demand for home medical supplies. By establishing strong partnerships with these key stakeholders, we can ensure that patients have access to the necessary equipment and resources to manage their health conditions in the comfort of their homes. Healthcare providers play a vital role in prescribing and recommending the appropriate medical supplies, while insurance companies help facilitate the reimbursement process. This collaboration not only enhances patient care but also helps streamline the delivery of home medical supplies, ensuring efficiency and convenience for all parties involved.

Expanding production capacity and streamlining distribution channels

Expanding production capacity and streamlining distribution channels is crucial in addressing the growing demand for home medical supplies. With the increasing need for these supplies, it is essential to ensure a seamless and efficient process from production to delivery. By expanding production capacity, manufacturers can meet the rising demand and provide timely access to home medical supplies. Streamlining distribution channels, on the other hand, allows for faster and more reliable delivery to healthcare providers and patients. This not only improves accessibility but also enhances the overall healthcare system's ability to respond to emergencies and provide essential care. To further optimize the production and distribution process, implementing advanced technologies and automation can be beneficial. These advancements can help reduce costs, improve inventory management, and enhance the accuracy and speed of order fulfillment. Overall, expanding production capacity and streamlining distribution channels play a vital role in meeting the growing demand for home medical supplies and ensuring efficient healthcare delivery.

Ensuring affordability and accessibility of home medical supplies

Implementing price controls and regulations

Implementing price controls and regulations is crucial in addressing the growing demand for home medical supplies. With the increasing need for these supplies, it is important to ensure that they are accessible and affordable for all individuals. Price controls can help prevent price gouging and ensure that the prices of home medical supplies remain reasonable. Additionally, regulations can help maintain quality standards and ensure the safety of these supplies. By implementing these measures, we can create a fair and sustainable market for home medical supplies, benefiting both consumers and the home security business.

Promoting competition among suppliers

Promoting competition among suppliers is crucial in addressing the growing demand for home medical supplies. By encouraging a competitive marketplace, we can ensure that consumers have access to a wide range of high-quality products at competitive prices. This not only benefits patients who require these supplies for their daily care but also promotes innovation and drives improvements in the industry. Through initiatives such as fostering transparency, implementing fair pricing practices, and supporting small businesses, we can create an environment that fosters healthy competition and ultimately enhances the availability and affordability of home medical supplies.

Exploring innovative financing options

In today's rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, addressing the growing demand for home medical supplies has become increasingly important. As the population continues to age and the prevalence of chronic diseases rises, the need for these supplies has never been greater. Exploring innovative financing options is crucial in order to ensure that individuals have access to the home medical supplies they require. One such option is the use of Software as a Service (SaaS) business models, which offer a flexible and cost-effective solution for both suppliers and consumers. By leveraging SaaS platforms, suppliers can streamline their operations, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. Consumers, on the other hand, can benefit from a subscription-based model that allows them to access the necessary supplies on a regular basis, without the burden of upfront costs. These innovative financing options not only address the growing demand, but also contribute to the overall improvement of healthcare delivery.

Improving education and awareness about home medical supplies

Providing comprehensive information to patients and caregivers

In today's digital age, it is crucial for medical supply providers to prioritize providing comprehensive information to patients and caregivers. With the growing demand for home medical supplies, patients and caregivers rely heavily on online resources to make informed decisions about their healthcare needs. To ensure that their website ranks high on Google and reaches a wider audience, medical supply providers must focus on optimizing their content for search engines. By incorporating relevant keywords such as 'google ranking' into their website content, providers can improve their visibility and attract more potential customers. Additionally, by offering short highlights that can be turned into hyperlink text, providers can enhance the user experience and make it easier for patients and caregivers to access the information they need. By adopting these strategies, medical supply providers can effectively address the growing demand for home medical supplies and provide valuable support to patients and caregivers.

Training healthcare professionals on the proper use of medical supplies

One crucial aspect of addressing the growing demand for home medical supplies is training healthcare professionals on the proper use of these supplies. With the increasing complexity of medical devices and equipment, it is essential that healthcare professionals receive comprehensive training to ensure safe and effective usage. This training should cover topics such as proper handling and storage of supplies, understanding the instructions for use, and recognizing potential risks and complications. By equipping healthcare professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills, we can enhance patient safety and improve the overall quality of care in home healthcare settings.

Raising awareness about the benefits of home healthcare

Raising awareness about the benefits of home healthcare is crucial in addressing the growing demand for home medical supplies. With the increasing aging population and the rise in chronic illnesses, more individuals are seeking the convenience and comfort of receiving medical care in the comfort of their own homes. Home healthcare not only allows patients to maintain their independence but also reduces the strain on hospitals and healthcare facilities. By promoting the advantages of home healthcare, we can educate the public about the cost-effectiveness, personalized care, and improved quality of life that it offers. This awareness can help meet the rising demand for home medical supplies and ensure that individuals have access to the necessary healthcare resources they need.

Conclusion

The importance of addressing the growing demand for home medical supplies

The importance of addressing the growing demand for home medical supplies cannot be overstated. As the population ages and healthcare costs continue to rise, more and more individuals are seeking alternative options for receiving medical care in the comfort of their own homes. This has led to a significant increase in the need for home medical supplies, such as durable medical equipment, mobility aids, and personal care products. To meet this demand, healthcare providers and entrepreneurs are exploring innovative solutions, including launching a CNA business online. By leveraging the power of technology and the internet, these businesses can provide convenient access to essential medical supplies, ensuring that patients receive the care they need in a timely and efficient manner. This not only improves the quality of life for individuals requiring home medical supplies but also helps alleviate the burden on traditional healthcare systems. As the demand for home medical supplies continues to grow, it is crucial that we address this need head-on and develop sustainable solutions to ensure the well-being of our aging population.

The need for collaboration and innovation in the healthcare industry

The need for collaboration and innovation in the healthcare industry is more crucial than ever. As the demand for home medical supplies continues to grow, it is imperative for healthcare providers, manufacturers, and distributors to work together to ensure that patients have access to the supplies they need. One way to streamline the process is by utilizing platforms such as Amazon Business. By signing up for Amazon Business, healthcare professionals can gain access to a wide range of medical supplies and equipment, making it easier to meet the needs of their patients. This collaboration between healthcare providers and Amazon Business fosters innovation and efficiency, ultimately improving patient care.

Ensuring access to quality home medical supplies for all

Ensuring access to quality home medical supplies for all is a crucial aspect of addressing the growing demand for these essential products. In order to meet this challenge, it is important to focus on the VeChain service experience.

A22 SPECIAL FORCES RESCUE Military and Civilian J6ers from Deep State PRISON. April 22, 2024.
https://preview.redd.it/69fuqhpytv0d1.jpg?width=696&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=340facca5c5a2045764f22b2b1aaf1063746d5d9

SPECIAL FORCES RESCUE Military and Civilian J6ers from Deep State PRISON. April 22, 2024.
United States Special Forces on April 7 raided a Deep State prison in the Aleutian Islands and freed 27 patriotic political prisoners whose only crime was peacefully visiting the Capitol on January 6, 2021, sources in General Eric M. Smithā€™s office told Real Raw News.
As reported last week, GITMO detainee Matthew Graves, a D.C. district attorney, tended to talk in his sleep, pejoratively slandering President Trump and espousing vitriol toward the MAGA coalition. His nocturnal ramblings included the words ā€œRura Penthe,ā€ a Klingon penal asteroid, and ā€œAdak,ā€ an Aleutian Island and former military base 1,200 miles from Anchorage. Graves had also said the name ā€œMatthew Bradford,ā€ a Marine Corps captain who disappeared shortly after visiting the Capitol on J6.
Admiral Crandall found meaning in Gravesā€™ hateful twaddle. He suspected that Graves had unknowingly disclosed the name and location of a covert Deep State jail housing J6ers the feds had captured and imprisoned without due process, unlawfully depriving them of liberty, property, and, perhaps, life. He shared his suspicions about Adak Island with the White Hat council.
The former Adak Navy Air Facility (NAF) sits in the center of the Aleutian chain. It was built in 1942 as a forward base to attack then-Japanese-held islands in the Pacific and repurposed in the 1950s as escalating tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union plunged much of the world into a Cold War. NAFā€™s peak activity occurred in the early 80s when 6,000 military personnel and civilian contractors lived on the isolated 79,200-acre base, which occupied three-fifths of Adak Island. In early 1991, as the global tensions de-escalated and the Cold War wound down, the Defense Departmentā€™s reduction of forces initiative led to the systematic reassignment of the baseā€™s occupants. The DOD formally shuttered NAF on March 31, 1997, and the once sparsely populated tundra became depopulated again, its only remaining inhabitants 45 hermetic natives and rotating Department of Environmental Conservation survey teams.
Though devoid of a significant population, the fogged-in island has a controlled airport managed by the State of Alaska Department of Transportation. Alaska Airlines flies 737s, mostly cargo and DEC employees, into Adak Airport twice weekly.
General Smith, our source said, pulled strings to have a U.S. surveillance satellite point its high-resolution optics at the airfield and crumbling base replete with prefabricated houses in various stages of decay and earthen bunkers made of steel and stone. The base even had a McDonaldā€™s, its golden arches split in half; Big Macs no longer served. The satelliteā€™s brief orbit over Adak imaged only three bodies standing next to a grass-covered ferrocement bunker. No airplanes were on the runway.
ā€œThree guards were hardly a Deep State army, but the general felt there couldā€™ve been more, including the hostages, in buildings the satellite didnā€™t penetrate,ā€ our source said.
Our source said the images crystallized in Gen. Smith an urgency to rescue the hostages and hold their jailors accountable.
ā€œIf theyā€™ve been moved, someone there will know where they are now,ā€ the general told the White Hat Council.
He coordinated the rescue op with his allies at 1st Special Forces Command. They ruled out a sea-based operation because sending a ship from GITMO to the Bearing Sea would take too long and be too conspicuous. They saw one workable option: landing a plane, neutralizing the opposition, and flying the prisoners to safetyā€”a risky endeavor since only a thousand feet of open ground lay between the runway and NAFā€™s dilapidated infrastructure,
Their plan seemed simple on paper. A 6,000-foot parachute jump. Secure the airfield and terminate any federal presence. Rescue the hostages. Meanwhile, the plane would loiter above the island until Special Forces requested extraction, when the plane would land to recover all friendlies.
The general said he would arrange the transportationā€”a C-17 Globemaster would meet the Special Forces team at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage on April 7.
ā€œOne council member opposed, and Iā€™m not at liberty to say who, the plan, but the general said ā€˜this is a briefing. I am not seeking consentā€™ and shut him down. The mission was a go,ā€ our source said.
The 1,200-mile flight from Anchorage to Adak Island was uneventful, he added.
Special Forces leaped from the C-17 at 2:00 am into dark skies filled with light drizzle. Upon landing safely, with all team members accounted for, they stowed their chutes and armed themselves before marching to the deserted airport, save for a scattering of civilian vehicles and a dull yellow school bus, its rearview mirrors cracked and tires almost deflated. The tower, too, was unoccupied and black as pitch.
Snipers provided overwatch from the tower while a half dozen soldiers formed a defensive perimeter at either side of the runway, eyes peeled for vehicle and foot traffic. The remaining soldiers humped east in the frigid air toward rows and columns of Cold War bunkers and two-story barracks with gable roofs. A single sentry wearing a black tactical suit betrayed his presence by puffing a cigarette. They spotted the flaring tip, red as a warning light, before the rifle hanging off his shoulder. The man spoke aloud to himself, saying, ā€œI hate this shit.ā€
ā€œYouā€™re going to hate this even more,ā€ said the Special Forces soldier who ambushed him from behind and started sawing into his neck with a garrote.
He gave the choking man an ultimatum: reveal the disposition of enemy forces and J6erā€™s whereabouts or die. The man, who had DHS credentials, spluttered that five feds, three currently asleep, were guarding 27 ā€œdomestic terrorists.ā€ He told Special Forces he didnā€™t want to be on Adak Island and that the DHS had forced the assignment on him. Doubting the fedā€™s sincerity, Special Forces grilled him twice more, but the federal goon stuck to his story. He pointed out the buildings in which the guards were sleeping and the bunkers that housed the hostages.
Satisfied, Special Forces sawed deeper into his neck until he died.
One fed was snoring loudly enough to wake the dead when a soldier placed one hand over his mouth and plunged a knife into his chest with the other. Another had his pants around his ankles and was taking an early morning piddle as two bullets hit the back of his head. And yet another had been deep in slumber before his rude awakening; a soldier was pressing a pillow against his face and starving his brain of oxygen.
The final guard had been patrolling the open ground between three bunkers but stopped moving when a sniperā€™s bullet hit his forehead. He was still breathing as a soldier tore a keyring from his belt loop.
Special Forces unlocked and pulled open the steel doors.
Inside were 11 civilian males ages 21 to 73, each confined to makeshift cells someone had constructed inside the bunker. The second bunker held four civilian women, one of whom told her rescuers that the guards had raped her repeatedly. The last bunker held Captain Matthew Bradford and 11 other male service members the Deep State had scooped up during its manhunt for J6 ā€œinsurrectionists.ā€
Special Forces radioed the C-17 to land at once.
The plane dove beneath the clouds and swooped in for a landing. Hostages too sick or injured to walk were carried by stretcher onto the plane.
ā€œThe unfortunate souls went through hell,ā€ our source said. ā€œIā€™m not getting into their individual conditions right now but theyā€™re all alive and in our protective custody.ā€
Asked what Special Forces would have done had there been more hostages than the plane could carry, our source said, ā€œThen they wouldā€™ve held the position until the C-17 got them to Anchorage, refueled, and came back.ā€
As an aside, in a follow-up call this morning, we asked our source to either confirm or deny rumors suggesting the Real Donald Trump is ā€œunder the mountainā€ while a body double sits moodily in court.
ā€œTwo Trumps? Thatā€™s the dumbest thing Iā€™ve ever heard. What are you, stupid? President Trump is a courageous leader. He doesnā€™t scurry away from enemies like a frightened animal. He charges them! He doesnā€™t hide behind doubles and clones like a cowardly Obama or Biden.ā€

MILITARY OBEYS DONALD TRUMP and DEFIES CRIMINAL BIDEN REGIME.
As U.K. warships sortied planes and fired cruise missiles at Houthi-controlled sites in Yemen Thursday, American F/A-18s sat pilotless on flight decks, and cruise missiles were dormant in vertical launch tubesā€”even though Kamala Harris and Deputy Defense Secretary Hicks had ordered the Navyā€™s 5th Fleet to join in the assault.
With U.K. Storm Shadow cruise missiles streaking toward Houthi targets, the commander of a U.K. guided missile destroyer, the HMS Diamond, radioed his American counterpart aboard the USS Eisenhower and asked why the shipā€™s aircraft hadnā€™t catapulted off the deck and U.S. cruise missiles hadnā€™t left their tubes.
ā€œWeā€™re resolving issues; please stand by,ā€ came the reply.
What ought to have been a coordinated, synchronous strike was anything but orderly, for the commanding officers aboard U.S. aircraft carriers and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers were in the midst of reconciling what can be described only as interminable uncertainty over whether Harris or Hicks had authority to deploy U.S. ordnance on foreign soil.
The breakdown in the chain of command, as previously reported by RRN, began in October when U.S. Navy flag officers, both ashore and on-board carrier strike groups, debated the legitimacy of the criminal Biden regime and whether they would obey a launch order issued by an illegitimate president and election thief. At the time, 5th and 6th Fleet commanders Charles Cooper and Thomas Ishee and four strike group captains denounced Bidenā€™s presidency as fraudulent, saying only President Trump or his delegates had the authority to activate the Armed Forces.
However, not all the shipsā€™ skippers agreed with their appraisal of the situation. The USS Laboonā€™s commanding officer, Commander Eric Blomberg, said he, his first officer, and the chief of the boat recognized Biden as a legitimate president. He had defiantly told Admiral Cooper that if Biden, Harris, Austin, or anyone in Bidenā€™s presidential line of succession gave the order to fire, he would unflinchingly obey that directive.
ā€œTo refuse is mutiny,ā€ he had said.
The tumultuous chaos escalated Thursday as the United Kingdomā€™s missiles illuminated the sky. A panicky Blomberg was on the horn with the fleet commander, urging him to abide by Harris and the defense secretaryā€™s decision to engage the Houthi, who had been terrorizing merchant vessels. Vice Admiral Cooper reportedly retorted that the U.S. had no defense secretary and that Lloyd Austin, the man claiming to be the defense secretary, had been MIA for almost two weeks.
As an aside, although the Russians say Austin is dead, White Hat sources have expressed ambiguity over Austinā€™s true fate: ā€œWe canā€™t confirm or deny at this time he was killed in Ukraine.ā€
From aboard the Laboon, Blomberg told Adm. Cooper he would fire even if the USS Eisenhower refused to launch aircraft. According to a high-ranking source speaking under the promise of anonymity, the admiral cautioned Blomberg to not overstep his rank and said he would have no qualms about ā€œbombing the Houthis to oblivionā€ if the order came directly from President Trump or General Eric M. Smith.
As Gen. Smith was unavailable, the call went to President Trump, the lawful commander-in-chief. Admiral Cooper hurriedly summarized the situation and wanted to know whether Trump, the actual president, would personally give the order to engage the enemy. Trump said his Mar-a-Lago War Room had been watching the crisis, and he asked the admiral two questions: ā€œAre the Houthis a threat to U.S. assets? Are they a danger to commercial shipping?ā€
Admiral Cooper replied in the affirmative to both questions, and President Trump instructed him to pummel the Houthi encampments in Yemen using the full force and might of the United States Military.
At once, strikes came from the air, the surface, and the subsurface. Air Force strike fighters originating from a base in the Middle East and Super Hornets from USS Eisenhower roared into the air, armed with precision munitions. The strike was at approximately 2:30 a.m. local time, about 30 minutes after the Houthis launched an anti-ship ballistic missile at shipping lanes in the Gulf of Aden. In all, U.S. forces hit 60 Houthi targets in 16 locations.
This is an evolving story, and we are receiving hourly updates. We will post more on it ASAP.

2024.05.17 00:18 Fantastic-Duck12 I had the worst TNR experience.

Ever since August 2023, I have been feeding a friendly female feral cat and her skittish son. I have been wanting to spay and neuter these two, but multiple issues occurred in December 2023 when her son was of age to be neutered, which prevented the two of them from being fixed. I contacted a TNR organization called C5 that same month and was told I would be placed on a waitlist of 3 months, and have not been contacted ever since. I was naive to wait for a phone call because matters would get worse.
As of late March, the female feral cat gave birth to 5 kittens, but one unfortunately did not make it. Ever since the birth of these kittens, I planned to catch them and wean them off, so I could take their mother and older brother to get neutered and spayed, and not deprive the kittens of a food source with their guardians gone. However, I never saw the kittens come by with their mom.
On Thursday, May 9th, one of the kittens appeared in my front yard. Although I could not manage to catch it, I contacted another TNR organization named Las Vegas Valley Humane Society (LVVHS) by submitting a TNR Inquiry Form through their website. This organization focuses on TNR and adoption, but relies on fosters in order to house the adoptable animals, who bring them to adoption events. The next morning, I received an email to text a phone number, and this is where my troubles would begin.
I texted the number with my name, address, and the amount of cats I wanted to be fixed as instructed by the email. I explained to the phone number that I wanted the two oldest cats to be fixed, and maybe the kittens if they were of age. A cat coordinator for LVVHS responded to my messages and asked for pictures of the kittens to see their age. However, they would constantly make me repeat myself and would often dismiss my questions and concerns, just to give me extremely vague responses unrelated to my concerns. After exchanging texts for a while, the cat coordinator for the LVVHS made me aware that they could possibly come by Monday afternoon or early evening to help me catch the kittens, since they were extremely fast.
Flash forward to Monday, where I received no notice or text by the cat coordinator. Although this organization has no building, all of their websites state they close at 5. As the time neared 5 pm, I texted if the organization planned on coming to help catch and pick up the kittens and the cats. I would not receive a text until an hour later, where they stated they could not come and asked about my plans for the kittens, since they had no fosters available at the moment. I never once stated I wanted to foster the kittens, so this seemed quite absurd. I responded that my plans were just to take care of the kittens while their guardians would be fixed, but they decided not to reply to that text.
The following morning, I managed to catch the kittens with my neighborā€™s help and notified the LVVHS coordinator about that. Two hours later, they texted me they would call me and never did. I texted them at around 6:36 pm expressing my concern for an update on when the organization would be available to pick up the cats, since I never received a call. The coordinator simply responded by saying ā€œHow many kittens?ā€ after answering this question nearly 5 times with them. I had to reiterate my intention for nearly the third time, and was met with an extremely contradictory response. Apparently, this organization does not catch the cats themselves, and instead feral cat caretakers have to pick up a trap and take the cats to the clinic, which was not stated on their website and contradicted their text stating they could come by Monday to help catch the kittens. Also, when I asked where exactly I would go to pick up the traps and what the address of the clinic was, the coordinator simply ignored my questions and instead gave me the hours of the unnamed clinic. (Based on my own research, I figured out they were referring to the Heaven Can Wait Clinic solely based on the hours of operation given to me).
In addition, the LVVHS coordinator instructed me to text them Saturday or Sunday to help schedule a pick up for a trap, in order to catch the two adult cats, while also informing me that I was at the top of the foster list. I already made them aware of my plans, and they knew the kittens were only 6 weeks old and could not be separated from their mother. However, they directed a foster to contact me if they could come by my house to assess the kittens and see if they can take them the very same evening. So, although they made no effort to contact me over an update about the adult cats being caught, they instead vehemently wanted to separate the kittens from their mother at the age of six weeks?
I can understand that this is a small business, but clearly the Las Vegas Valley Humane Society throws out professionalism when it comes to TNR matters. The miscommunication, dismissal of my questions and concerns, and rather vague responses assuming I am aware of certain operations and addresses is quite infuriating, especially when not listed on their website. I just wanted to help control the cat population, but because of unprofessional organizations such as these, I am still left with unneutered and unspayed adult cats.
I am aware that there are several resources to help feral cats, but after contacting several organizations, I was met with more issues than solutions. For instance, the Heaven Can Wait Clinic only accepts feral cats in humane traps, which costs $125 to borrow, and as a mere college student, I can barely afford to borrow a trap and cover the cost of the operation itself. Furthermore, this clinic is only open in the mornings from Monday to Thursday, which can be quite limiting. This matter was extremely infuriating and overwhelming for not only me, but also the cats who had to wait for hours to be picked up, and never were.

2024.05.16 23:10 Fabio_451 How would you calculate the geometry of the path of this wire on a cylinder? Given the following costraints...

I hope it is the right tag for this post. Anyway...I am an engineer and I am working on the design of an instrument that happen to have a few wires the goes from one place to another around a cylindrical object. I patiently cut and connected each wire to get ordered and short paths in a practical way, but....I started wondering...could I calculate the length of the paths in advance? Would gravity arrange a nice resting path for the wires better than I could do?
Here is the problem:
I have a wire of length L and radius r that lays entirely on a cylindrical plane with radius R. The wire cannot sink into the cylinder, but it might be free to exit the cylinder plane outwards.
Meanwhile r< The wire has its own mass M and a linear density M/L. It is basically a cable, a very long beam with a negligible bending stiffness.
How would you calculate the path of the wire? Would it form a sort of catenary? How would it change if the bending stiffness cannot be neglected? Given that the resting shape of the wire is a straight line.
Hope that this problem can raise some curiosity!

2024.05.16 22:56 UofTComputerEngineer My thoughts (and tips) on every course I took so far (UofT Computer Engineering)

I've recently completed my third year of computer engineering at UofT, and I wanted to share my thoughts on the courses I've taken. I hope this will be beneficial to incoming first, second, and third-year engineering students. My area of depth is 6 (Software) and my areas of breadth are 4 (Control) and 5 (Computer hardware/networks).
Difficulty: How hard it was to comprehend course material and/or complete practice problems accurately. Keep in mind that difficulty is subjective but I tried to eliminate personal bias and be as objective as possible.
Workload: The amount of work to complete outside of lectures (labs, assignments, homework, studying for tests/exams).
All engineers take the exact same courses in their first year first semester and similar ones in second semester. I took these courses in 2021 during covid so some information might be outdated.
First Year Semester 1:
APS100 Orientation to Engineering:
Difficulty: 1/10 Workload: 3/10 Course Average: N/A
There is no technical material in this course. All coursework consists of Ethics analysis, creating a schedule for time management, creating your resume, and discussion board participation. During tutorials, the TA typically asks behavioral questions to the class and covers slides pertaining to engineering principles, the learning environment, test readiness, and related topics.
APS110 Engineering Chemistry and Materials Science
Difficulty: 6/10 Workload: 5/10 Course Average: B
This course blends elements of chemistry, physics, and mathematics, requiring lots of formulas and memorization. The assignments and online quizzes were moderately difficult. Not sure if heā€™s still teaching but Scott Ramsay was a really good professor. Really enjoyed watching his video demonstrations.
APS111 Engineering Strategies and Practices I
Difficulty: 3/10 Workload: 6/10 (Variable) Course Average: B
Students are organized into groups of 5-6 and are assigned the task of developing a solution for a client, following the engineering design process. Success in this course heavily relies on your team. Throughout the semester, there are several milestones where you need to submit large reports with your team, making it crucial to have capable teammates. Many teams resorted to last-minute cramming the night before each milestone (not a good idea). Additionally, there are two peer reviews, so make sure you contribute to avoid being perceived as an unproductive member. In most cases, you donā€™t need to worry about this though. Youā€™d likely all be good friends by that point (and give each other a perfect review).
CIV100 Mechanics
Difficulty: 9/10 Workload: 9/10 Course Average: C+
The consensus among most students in my year was that this was the toughest first year course. It's incredibly calculation heavy, with questions that may appear straightforward in theory but require multiple steps to solve. Even a minor error can screw up your entire calculation process. The assignments are extremely time-consuming, and the quizzes pose significant challenges. I suggest you work in a group for the assignments. Furthermore, both the final exam and midterm were exceptionally difficult.
MAT186 Calculus I
Difficulty: 4/10 Workload: 4/10 Course Average: B
If youā€™ve taken IB or AP this course will be a breeze. Even without that background, it's still relatively straightforward. Very little on integrals, mostly derivatives, rates of change, and graphs. PCEs and WebWorks were trivial, and the midterm and exam were easy.
MAT188 Linear Algebra
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 7/10 Course Average: B-
The majority of the course revolves around relatively straightforward operations on matrices and vectors. However, it does introduce abstract concepts like higher-order dimensions, which may require some deeper thinking to fully grasp. Webwork assignments were slightly more challenging compared to MAT186's, and completing assignments took a while. Once again, you should work with a partner or as a group. Pay attention in the MATLAB practicals because youā€™ll be using MATLAB pretty often in future courses.
First Year Semester 2:
APS105 Computer Fundamentals
Difficulty: 6/10 Workload: 5/10 Course Average: B-
If youā€™ve taken programming in high school, you will likely find this course very easy (2/10 difficulty). The course covers simple programming syntax, along with basic sorting algorithms, without delving into more advanced concepts beyond linked lists and binary trees. I think that this was one of the more enjoyable courses of first year.
APS112 Engineering Strategies and Practices II
Difficulty: 5/10 Workload: 7/10 (Variable) Course Average: B+
This course is essentially a continuation of APS111, but with the added component of being assigned an actual client with a real-world problem statement. Each group works with a unique client, and at the end of the term, you present your final report directly to them, along with your supervisors. As with APS111, the quality of your team plays a crucial role in your success. Another thing to note is that unlike APS111, there were multiple individual assignments to complete on top of your team reports.
ECE110 Electrical Fundamentals
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload: 6/10 Course Average: C+
Definitely one of the harder first year courses. This course marks your introduction to circuits. Topics covered include capacitors, Ampere's law, Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, AC/DC circuits, magnetism, Thevenin and Norton equivalents, and more. The material is extensive and requires thorough understanding, as many future courses will build upon its concepts. Make sure that you understand the content well, given its foundational importance in subsequent courses.
ECE191 Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering
Difficulty: 0/10 Workload: 1/10 Course Average: N/A
Seminar course. You just need to show up to the lectures (one per week) and submit a 100-ish word report about what you learned.
MAT187 Calculus II
Difficulty: 6/10 Workload: 5/10 Course Average: C+
The workload in this course is comparable to Calc I, but the content is more challenging (obviously). It delves deeper into integrals and introduces concepts like ordinary differential equations and polar coordinates. But again, youā€™ll manage just fine if you did decently in Calc 1, and especially if youā€™ve taken AP math or IB HL math.
MIE100 Dynamics
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload 4/10 Course Average: C+
I personally found this to be the most challenging course in first year, but it seems that most people disagree with me. It shares similarities with CIV100, but youā€™re instead dealing with dynamic systems (moving) rather than static ones (not moving). Some concepts may prove difficult to grasp initially. However, if you focus on memorizing the relevant formulas and understanding when to apply them, you should be okay. Expect an emphasis on physics in this course.
Second year was the worst (for ECE) and a very big step up from first year. If you struggled in first year, you better lock in for second year.
Second Year Semester 1:
ECE201 ECE Seminar Course
Difficulty: 0/10 Workload: 0/10 Course Average: N/A
Another seminar course, except you just need to attend 7/10 lectures to pass. Most students just scan their Tcard at the entrance then leave right after. The lectures are pretty useless except the Magellan one where they show you how to choose courses for 3rd and 4th year.
ECE212 Circuit Analysis
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 8/10 Course Average: B+
This course provides a deeper exploration of circuits, extending beyond circuit solving to include frequency and sinusoidal analysis. Questions tend to be long so careless errors will cost you. Personally, I found the labs challenging, particularly because they required working with oscilloscopes at a higher level than I was used to, and I could not for the life of me figure out how to use that thing.
ECE241 Digital Systems
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 8/10 Course Average: B-
This hardware course focuses on the foundation of hardware. A lot of the content is at the fundamental level so itā€™s not too hard to comprehend. However, the main challenge lies in learning Verilog, a hardware description language. I hate Verilog. All the labs are done using Verilog, and frustratingly, the course provides no instruction on the language, nor are there many helpful resources available online. This lack of guidance made what should have been straightforward labs much more difficult. Thankfully if you are in CE, youā€™ll never need to take another course with Verilog again. The midterm was easy but the final was borderline impossible.
ECE244 Programming Fundamentals
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 7/10 Course Average: B-
This course is the sequel to APS105, delving into more advanced concepts like pointers, constructors, polymorphism, and inheritance. Many of these topics may feel familiar if you have prior programming experience, particularly from high school. Consequently, if you're already proficient in programming, as many computer engineering students are, you should be able to navigate through this course well. The labs were generally manageable, although a couple of them were time-consuming.
MAT290 Advanced Engineering Mathematics
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload 8/10 Course Average: B
In this course, youā€™ll learn a lot of miscellaneous mathematical concepts that will be relevant in future courses. The goal is to establish a strong foundation to facilitate understanding in third and fourth-year courses. There is also a quiz every week. They were terrible from a time management standpoint, but as long as you spent 3-4 hours per week completing the assigned textbook questions, you should be alright since one (out of two) of the questions on the quiz is guaranteed to be an assigned textbook question (at least, that was the case when I took the course).
MAT291 Calculus III
Difficulty: 9/10 Workload 9/10 Course Average: B-
The entire workload comes from studying for those damn weekly quizzes, much like MAT290. Personally, I found it to be one of the most difficult courses I've ever taken. Think of calculus 2, but now everything is in three dimensions, encompassing concepts like surface integrals, flux integrals, and more. Additionally, the course introduces abstract topics that I still struggle to grasp. Balancing the demands of this course alongside everything else was an incredibly stressful experience.
Second Year Semester 2:
ECE216 Signals and Systems
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload:7/10 Course Average: C+
I think everyone hated this course. It was so poorly taught and the midterms felt haphazard and unpredictable. I relied on the power of BS to pass (worked surprisingly). Other than working with many graphs and MATLAB, I donā€™t remember much about this course because it was so uninteresting.
ECE221 Electric and Magnetic Fields
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload: 5/10 Course Average: C+
This course serves as an introduction to fields, while also expanding on the principles covered in ECE110. Many concepts build upon intuitive ideas, such as the repulsion of identical charges and attraction of opposite charges, which can make seemingly complex topics less intimidating. There are also many procedures that you need to know to solve specific types of questions. The labs are generally straightforward. You just need to follow the steps on the lab worksheet and answer a few simple questions from the TA.
ECE231 Intro to Electronics
Difficulty: 9/10 Workload: 7/10 Course Average: C+
This course is basically circuit analysis but significantly harder. It combines everything you've learned about circuits thus far, introducing new topics on top of that foundation. There are so many new concepts to learn and the final pretty much tests you on all of them. Iā€™ve encountered multiple scenarios where I saw two concepts that I thought were completely separate from each other being integrated into a single question on an exam. Also very calculation heavy. Despite my experience in this course, I must admit Khoman Fang was a great professor.
ECE243 Computer Organization
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 6/10 Course Average: B
This course is a direct continuation of ECE241, and surprisingly, I found it a lot more enjoyable than its prerequisite. The focus is on Assembly language programming, which I found to be way more understandable compared to Verilog. Assembly operates at a fundamental level, so youā€™re technically working with the most basic building blocks in programming. The labs often involved seemingly simple tasks like counting to 10 on a HEX display, but the nature of Assembly meant that achieving this could require hundreds of lines of code. I appreciated these labs as they provided a refreshing change from the usual programming tasks. Final and midterm exams were relatively easy.
ECE297 Software communication and design
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload: 9/10 (Variable) Course Average: B+
Despite the demanding workload, this course was one of my favorites. The main project involved collaborating in teams of three to develop a geographical information system (similar to Google Maps). Unlike other courses where teams are assigned, here you have the freedom to choose your own teammates. Starting off, your team is given only the OpenStreetMap database, and the APIs, granting you complete control over your project's design, functionality, and optimization. Performance enhancement and pathfinding algorithms were key components of the project. It's crucial for all team members to contribute effectively for success in this course; And trust me, this is not a one or two person project. To succeed in this course, all three members must be doing their share.
Third Year:
They say that third year is the easiest year for ECE, but that depends on what courses you choose. For me, it was only slightly easier than second year but still significantly harder than first year.
APS360 Fundamentals of Deep Learning
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload : 8/10 Course Average: B+
This course felt fundamentally very different compared to the other programming related courses. If youā€™re unfamiliar with deep learning, the content can be overwhelming but the inner workings behind AI are both fascinating and challenging to grasp. Fortunately, much of the coding in the course revolves around preparing data, setting up AI architectures, and training/testing models, rather than building an AI from scratch. While the labs are manageable, the final project can be very time consuming, particularly as training a single model can require hours or even days. Regarding this aspect, make sure you start early. Both the midterm and final exams were quite difficult.
ECE302 Probability and Applications
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 3/10 Course Average: B-
The first half of this course is very straightforward. Just an introduction to probability. The second half is where the difficulty quickly ramps up. Make sure you donā€™t underestimate the second half of the course. I made the mistake of assuming the material was easy after performing well on both midterms (midterms were very easy), leading me to neglect the final third of the course so I flunked the final. FYI, our marks were determined solely by the 2 midterms and the final.
ECE344 Operating Systems
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload: 10/10 Course Average: B
This course had the most difficult and demanding labs Iā€™ve ever seen in my life. They are due every two weeks and some of them took most students more than 15 hours to complete. Iā€™ve seen people staying up all night in the GB computer rooms to finish these labs. One positive aspect of the course if Jon Eyolfson is your professor, is that all lectures are both recorded and live-streamed, allowing attendance in person, online synchronously, or asynchronously. But if you have Ding Yuan, good luck. I heard he is not only bad at teaching, but also makes you program an operating system from scratch. The course content is quite interesting and the Midterm and final exams were fair.
ECE345 Algorithms and Data Structures
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload: 7/10 Course Average: B+
If you're one of those programming geniuses who have been doing Leetcode since like 3 years old, youā€™d have likely already learned all course content before youā€™ve even started the course. You could probably write midterm and final exams without attending any lectures. However, if you're not as experienced, attending every lecture, taking detailed notes, and staying focused is crucial. Personally speaking, some algorithms were incredibly difficult for me to grasp, while others were simple. Assignments typically include both coding and long-answer components, which can be time-consuming, but you can work with a partner.
TEP444 Positive Psychology for Engineers
Difficulty: 1/10 Workload: 3/10 Course Average: A-
This course overall was very enjoyable and a nice refreshing experience from the other technical courses. You go on excursions to various locations with your group and write reports. It's an excellent opportunity to expand your social circle and make new friends. If you aim for an A- grade (80-85), you can breeze through with minimal effort. However, achieving a higher grade (A or A+) would require significantly more work (like 5 times more, no joke), which is not worth the extra effort in my opinion.
CSC343 Introduction to Databases
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 10/10 Course Average: Unreleased
The content of this course is actually pretty interesting and is taught well. But the assignments were excessively time consuming. There are only three in total, but each one demanded such a significant investment of time to the point where I contemplated dropping the course altogether. You do work with a partner (going solo isnā€™t even an option if you want to complete the assignments) but even so, be prepared to invest 15-30 hours per person, per assignment (they also mark hard). Despite the workload, I do recommend taking this course because knowing SQL can substantially benefit you in the future. Just start the assignments early. On a positive note, the midterm and final were relatively straightforward.
ECE311 Introduction to Control Systems
Difficulty: 10/10 Workload: 5/10 Course Average: C+
This course didn't come with a heavy workload, consisting only of three labs and two midterms. However, I found the content to be very challenging. It felt like they condensed and combined every concept from every engineering math and physics course into one. Topics ranged from circuits and dynamics to Laplace transforms, matrices, Bode plots, and more. It didnā€™t help that Prof Scardovi didnā€™t record any lectures, has messy handwriting, and uses a damn chalkboard instead of modern technology like other profs do. The midterms and final were somewhat lenient compared to the lectures, but this course still ended up being my lowest mark.
ECE361 Computer networks I
Difficulty: 8/10 Workload: 9/10 Course Average: B
This course requires a lot of memorization compared to other courses. Youā€™ll have to understand calculation processes but also memorize a lot of general knowledge about networks. A problem with this course is that some concepts that show up in tests are not adequately explained in lectures. By far the best way to study is to do past exams. Professor Valaee often recycles questions, sometimes even directly copying past midterms and finals (like he did in my cohort). Unlike other courses, there is no big assignment/lab for this course, but it makes up for it with quantity. Thereā€™s a quiz every week, a wireshark lab every 2 weeks, a programming lab every 2 weeks, and a midterm. The programming labs are already difficult by themselves, but this cumulative workload felt very overwhelming.
ECE472 Engineering Economics and Entrepreneurship
Difficulty: 7/10 Workload: 5/10 Course Average: B+
This is straight up an economics course, no engineering at all. Youā€™ll learn about investments, equity, financing, and related areas. There are 4 quizzes throughout the semester, with quiz 3 (quiz 3 specifically) being by far the hardest (average in the 50s). Since you're able to bring your textbook to the quizzes and exam, my biggest tip is to write past quiz and exam solutions in your textbook, as there's a limited pool of questions, and new questions often resemble some kind of variation of past ones.
ECE421 Introduction to Machine Learning
Difficulty: 9/10 Workload: 7/10 Course Average: unreleased
While the course content itself may be challenging, surprisingly, the midterm and final exams were pretty easy. There's a slight discorrelation between the lecture material and what appears on the exams, but relying on past exams for preparation should be enough. The course leans heavily on mathematical concepts, much more so than APS360. The assignments were difficult and tedious but I recommend you work with others to complete it.
With that, I've covered my thoughts and tips for all the engineering courses I've completed. Transitioning into your next year in engineering, particularly if youā€™re transitioning from high school, can feel daunting. However, remember that you're not alone in this experience ā€“ many of your peers are facing similar challenges. If you need any more advice or have questions, feel free to reach out to me via DMs!

2024.05.16 22:54 EmeraldYoshi369 Setting up a community meeting for the state - need help with planning/logistics of snacks

Hi everyone!
I work for a grassroots community based organization and we have been asked suddenly to host and coordinate logistics for a state meeting at a community satƩlite location.
There are approximately 40 people in attendance from about 8am-5pm. We are providing lunch and coordinating with a local place but I need to set up a snack table for food/drinks.
I wanted to know if someone was familiar with how much food or what types of options to have? Iā€™m thinking fruits (apples, bananas, cuties mandarins), yogurt, granola, maybe fresh cut fruit, bagels, cheese danishes, trail mix etc?
I need to also make sure I buy the supplies for the snack table, silverware, cups, etc how do I want to have the bagels presented? Do I need to put them on a platter etc.
Hoping someone can give me a pretty good list and instructions of whatā€™s worked for you in the past. Planning to go to Costco for example so if thereā€™s any specifics or recommendations in general, please would be greatly appreciated!

2024.05.16 22:02 NoWest1466 I flied in a plane piloted by a woman and this happened.

So a couple of days this happened and I shared it on one of my private womenā€™s groups. And the ladies asked to share it with more people. So here goes. I was flying home from one event. I was given a seat in second row of the plane and as I sat in that place I got this weird feeling as if God put me in that particular place for some reason. At first I thought maybe I will get a reward of being alone in the row of seats so I can sleep more comfortably, but as the last people came in someone sat next to me and I realised I was wrong. A man with his wife or girlfriend came up to the first row and asked the stewardess if they could use the WC before liftoff. The stewardess said it would be fine, but they would have to wait until all other passangers have boarded. As they were waiting for the toilet, they realized that the places in first row are free and so they asked, if they could use them (because, as I understood, they wanted to sit together, but they got separate places). Stewardess responded that these seats are 20 euro more expensive and they decided to buy them. As I was listening in the conversation, it was obvious from the way he spoke, that this man was an intelligent person. When he sat in this place, he peaked into the pilotā€™s cabin and said loudly and with a surprise in his voice to the stewardess ā€œwill the pilot be a woman today?ā€ (I expected him to praise her, but the next sentence rapidly changed my perception of this manā€¦) ā€œIs this even safe?ā€ I was shocked. I saw the stewardess made herself smaller and said ā€œshe is a very experienced pilotā€. Then he asked ā€œVery experienced? How old is she? She looks really youngā€¦ Or maybe sheā€™s like 40?ā€ Now at this point I wanted to scream. But what actually came out of me was a snicker with a headshake. The man that sat beside me asked, what this other guy said that made me react this way, I explained and saw a supporting look in his eyes. After the conversation between the guy and stewardess ended, I observed her as she had to do the security dance that they always do before the flight. As I have quite an extensive flying experience, I donā€™t usually take time to watch this safety instruction, but this time I was observing very attentively. Her body was doing the moves and on her face you could very clearly see pain: the type of pain that you have when you want to cry, but you canā€™t allow yourself to do it. When the plane lifted, I fell asleep. I woke up an hour later and I received this clear message that I had to pass on to the pilot. At this moment I was extremely happy I bought a pen as I was thinking I would write some song lyrics, while waiting for the plane ā€“ I didnā€™t write much, but now I knew why I needed that pen. I found a small part of the paper that was not full of random lyrics of mine and prepared it for the message. I was very worried to make a mistake on the only small piece of paper I had, so I practiced what I wanted to write next to my lyrics before I actually wrote it out on the page, so this is why I still have the actual text I wrote. ā€œHi, I wanted to express, how sorry I am that you have to experience ignorant comments from misogynist men for choosing to be a pilot. I believe by following your passion you uplift & inspire women & especially girls that get to experience flying with you. Some weak male egos get threatened by this, but this is a very needed process for the change that is occurring in the collective in finding more balance after a long history of patriarchy. On behalf of all the little girls of this world Thank you.ā€ As the crew started preparing for landing, I stopped the stewardess that I saw was really affected by that situation and I said ā€žThis is not trash. This is a message for you and for the pilot. Read it first and if you feel like it, share it with her too.ā€œ The stewardess thanked me and then read the message. She looked at me with a very warm smile and said she will definitely give it to the pilot. She then pulled back the little curtain they have in their area and invited two other stewardesses that were on the flight for a chat. I saw them reading the paper, then I saw her pointing to the guy (presumably explaining the context for my message). All three of them then looked at me and smiled warmly. But then I started having thoughts that I should say something to this guy as well. And the first thoughts that I had werenā€˜t very nice. Then I heard my teacherā€˜s voice in my head saying ā€žNow is your chance to turn your poisons into pearlsā€œ and I realised that I do want to draw a boundary, but with love. When the plane landed, I quickly grabbed my stuff and as I was waiting for the door to open, I was observing this guy collect his stuff. When he finished and stood up to wait, I gathered all my courage (I literally felt my feet physically tremble how afraid I actually was) and I told him: ā€žI would like to tell you something, because I feel you now have a chance to learn and to grow. For this lady to pilot this plane, in her studies and work she had to show a degree of excellence that was way above most of her male peers. And this is because of such ignorant viewpoints like yours of some male teachers and colleagues that she must have had in her life. I truly hope that if you ever have a daughter you will not make her feel smaller the way you tried to make the pilot of our plane feel today.ā€œ He said ā€žyou probably did not hear the end of our conversation. In the end I told her that actually probably it is true that flying with women is safer. And that all of it was a jokeā€œ. I answered ā€žThis is true, I did not hear that bit. But your joke was not funny. Because I saw their reaction. And it was not funny for me.ā€œ I noticed a small supporting smile from the man that sat next to me during the flight. The door oppened and the guy from the first row stepped to the side to let me leave the plane first. Today absolutely by chance I saw these statistics (from the Female Quotient in fb): Women make up less than 20% of the workforce in most aviation occupations: Only 5% of pilots are women and women make up about 6% of airline CEOs. And Black female pilots make up just 1% of commercial airline pilots globally. I donā€˜t know what you can take from my story. But what I hope is that you allow yourselves to fly in a pursuit of your dreams whatever your dreams might be, regardless of the men that get scared so easily.
P.S. I don't use reddit much, so if you know where is a better place for this type of post, please share with me

2024.05.16 20:02 DTG_Bot This Week in Destiny 05/16/2024

Source: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/twid-05-16-2024
This week in Destiny, we are a little over two weeks away from the launch of The Final Shape. From The Witness to the Dread to Prismatic to Exotic class items, and more, there are so many things to be excited about. And today, we have even more to share with you, including some system updates and reworks that will also happen at launch. So, without further ado, letā€™s get into it!
Topics for this week:
  • Weapons tuning recap.
  • Build your arsenal shorts.
  • Enhanced perk updates.
  • Memento changes.
  • Reduced Fragment costs at Ikora in The Final Shape
  • New boss profile for The Pantheon.
  • Zero Hour Exotic mission is live.
  • METORO webcomic feature.
  • Destiny 2 Content Vault updates.

Weapons Tuning Recap

Image Linkimgur
Yesterday, we shared details about our plans for weapons tuning in The Final Shape. This includes a change to some weapon mod specs, weapon balancing, and perk updates. For more details, check out our Dev Insight: Weapons Tuning Preview blog.

Build Your Arsenal

As the excitement for The Final Shape is ramping up, weā€™re sharing a first look at some of the Exotic weapons and armor you can expect to see. Check them out and start cooking up those builds!

Enhancement in The Final Shape

During the Lightfall year, players have gotten a taste of weapon enhancement with the raid Adept weapons from Root of Nightmares and Crota's End. In The Final Shape, you'll see that this system has undergone some upgrades, making enhancing your weapons easier and allowing us to comfortably expand this system to include more weapons. Hereā€™s a quick recap on how weapon enhancement will work alongside some of the changes:
  • Weapon enhancement allows the weapon to be upgraded to receive enhanced traits, a weapon level, and a memento socket. To upgrade your weapon, players can navigate to the inspection screen and insert the enhancement tier mod for standard currencies (raid Adept weapons will continue to use Spoils of Conquest).
Image Linkimgur
  • Enhancement Tier 1:
    • Replaces your Masterwork and provides the weapon with an enhanced intrinsic that matches the stat of your old Masterwork.
    • Provides a weapon level, a date when you first enhanced the weapon, and a memento socket.
    • Raid Adepts only: Since these weapons have a base-crafted version, we want the Adept versions to feel like a meaningful upgrade. Therefore, these weapons can visit the Relic on Mars to adjust their first two columns (typically barrels/magazines) in a similar fashion to how crafted weapons can augment these perk columns.
  • Enhancement Tier 2 (weapon level 11 requirement):
    • Once the player inserts this mod, the left column trait(s) will automatically be upgraded to their enhanced perks. If you have multiple perks, this will update all traits in the column. Players will not need to visit the Relic on Mars to update these traits anymore.
  • Enhancement Tier 3 (weapon level 17 requirement):
    • Once the player applies this mod, the right column weapon trait perks will automatically be updated to be enhanced. Like the left column, this will upgrade all of the traits present and does not require visiting the Relic.
Image Linkimgur
We've heard the feedback that weapons should have more avenues to acquire enhanced traits. In The Final Shape, all new weapons will either be craftable or have access to weapon enhancement. In addition, weapons that remain active drops in the following activities will be eligible for enhancement:
  • Vow of the Disciple raid Adepts
  • Guardian Games
  • King's Fall raid Adepts
  • Gambit
  • Competitive Crucible (all of them)
  • Trials of Osiris
  • Crucible
  • Iron Banner
  • Vanguard Ops
  • Nightfalls
  • Prophecy Dungeon
This will include older instances of these weapons, as long as they have an origin trait. Unfortunately, due to some technical constraints, there are a handful of weapons instances from before Season 17 that have origin traits and are active drops, but they will not be eligible for weapon enhancement. If a weapon is not actively dropping in these activities and playlists or itā€™s under the legacy focusing options, it will not be enhance-able when The Final Shape releases. If weapons are reissued and become a part of a playlist's active drops once again, we'll update older versions that have origin traits to enter weapon enhancement.

Mementos in The Final Shape

We've received a lot of feedback on weapon mementos, especially as new mementos have released in our seasonal events. In The Final Shape, we have a few changes coming that impact how you store mementos and apply them to your weapons.
  • Crafted and enhanced weapons will no longer need to visit the Relic on Mars to apply mementos. Players can apply the memento of their choosing directly in the weapon inspection screen.
  • Memento stack cap limits will be raised from 1 to 3.
  • Mementos will no longer be stored alongside the player's consumables. When The Final Shape launches, your mementos under consumables will show as faded. Then, once the faded memento is dismantled, you'll see +1 memento added in the weapon inspection screen as a virtual currency. For players who figured out how to get around the original memento stack size limits, this will allow you to dismantle all those mementos safely, even if you temporarily go over the intended stack limit of three. If you are holding three (or more) of a particular memento, it will not drop again until you spend your mementos to be under the stack size limit of three.

Reduced Fragment Costs at Ikora In The Final Shape

Subclass Fragments purchasable from Ikora are expensive, particularly considering how many there are, especially for New Lights. In The Final Shape, we have reduced the cost of Fragments from 25000 Glimmer to 10000 Glimmer. Our goal here is to make these vital build-crafting elements more accessible for new and returning players.

The Pantheon Grows Stronger

Another week, and your task has become more difficult, Guardians. Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness, has joined The Pantheon, and weā€™ve gathered intel for your mission.
VANGUARD ā€“ GUARDIAN DISPATCH ā€“ ALL POINTS BULLETIN
DEFENDERS OF THE CITY,
You are tasked with the elimination of the following target:

-RHULK, DISCIPLE OF THE WITNESS-
Image Linkimgur
CLASSIFICATION
  • The last-known Lubraean
  • First Disciple of the Witness
  • Other names: The Upender, Worm Father
  • Dread
  • Resonant
HAZARDS
  • Darkness mastery
  • Immeasurable strength and durability
  • Powerful Lubraeā€™s Ruin Glaive
  • Suns of Lubrae attack and debuff
  • Savage Strike kick
  • Umbral Suffocation attack
  • Teleportation
  • Resonant Spikes area effect
  • Guardians rated Sigma-3 or lower are advised not to engage
INTEL
  • Rhulk was born on the planet Lubrae, a world originally blessed by the Traveler that spiraled into an authoritarian regime when the Traveler left. Fueled by rage, Rhulk sought to destroy the regime, but his bloodlust led to being ostracized from his clan. Eventually, afraid of what heā€™d become, his clan attempted to kill him.
  • Decrypted records from the Pyramid indicate that the Witness made contact with Rhulk during this time, restored him, and empowered him as the first Disciple. Rhulk took his vengeance on Lubrae, annihilating its parent star and destroying the planet.
  • Vanguard power assessments place Rhulk far above any previous enemy faced by any Guardian. Battle scholars theorize the bold fireteam that stormed the sunken Pyramid only prevailed due to Rhulkā€™s humoring a fight to begin with. But prevail they did.
OF NOTE
  • Hidden cipher-sequences buried in the symbols throughout have been decrypted by a pioneering Cryptarch, thanks to countless fireteams keeping the way clear. The solved sequence is believed to be astronomical coordinates to Lubrae. (Probe dispatchedā€¦ awaiting arrival.)
  • The creation of the Hive was majorly influenced by Rhulk. The first Disciple of the Witness subjugated the Worm mother, Xita, and forced her spawn into union with the Krill, which led to the Hive species and the Hive Gods themselves.
  • Cryptarchs have uncovered communications between Rhulk and SavathĆ»n in which SavathĆ»n derides Rhulkā€™s simplicity as a tactician. According to the Witch Queen, the first Disciple only values strength, and his downfall will be his brute force approach to every situation.

Zero Hour Exotic Mission Is Live

Image Linkimgur
The Zero Hour Exotic mission is now live. If you havenā€™t jumped in yet, you can find it in the Into the Light node in the Director. Completing the mission in the required timeframe will earn you the Outbreak Perfected Exotic Pulse Rifle.
As we mentioned last week, weā€™re celebrating the release by asking you to share your favorite moments with TR3-VR. Post your favorite art, screenshots, videos, or memes ā€” anything that shows your love for our favorite overly attached robot. Just use the hashtag #MyFriendTR3VR. Weā€™ll be giving our favorites an Art or Movie of the Week emblem and sharing your creations in a future TWID.

Why does it always seem to be Titans dying in spectacular fashion? Is it because they are the bravest class, charging into battle to protect others without worrying about their own well-being? Uh... yeah, we can just go with that.

2024.05.16 19:12 drewj3james Ghostly Magic System

So I've posted a lot of times on this subreddit, and a part of that is because I haven't fully fleshed out the details of my world; I had a basic idea of what I wanted my world to look like, the types of magic I wanted to be there, and the world in which I wanted that magic to occur. I'm someone who likes grinding down on my magic system until it makes sense, so I haven't really been able to focus on writing my actual story, although in fairness I've tied up a few plot threads. Now, I think I have a genuine final product and can actually start writing my story. So here it goes.
FUNDAMENTALS
The three fundamental forces in my universe are Dream, Spark, and Sacrifice. Dream is the product of the underworld, Sacrifice resides in the domain of the living, and Spark is the energy that binds and separates the two worlds. I'm very fascinated by the idea of making a sacrifice, or the spilling of blood in many cases, being necessary for dreams to come true.
Dream, in this context, is imagination, memory, past, future, desire, fear, all that does not yet exist but existed or has the potential to exist. The fuel of Dream is memory, because a dream that is not remembered, even subconsciously, is one that ceases to exist, and Dream tends to absorb memory.
Sacrifice, in this context, has a more neutral meaning than we're used to; it only means a change in the mortal realm, mental or physical, that initiates the coming to life of a dream. Think of a mother, who sacrifices or is made to sacrifice her body for 9 months to give birth to the dream of a child, the possibility made real by the change in the mother's physical circumstance. Or an empire; someone dreamed of it, but they needed to spill blood to bring it into fruition. The blood and death, not the action, is the sacrifice, and that sacrifice brings life to a dream.
Spark, broadly, is energy. From a metaphysical perspective, it is the energy that carries out a sacrifice and, using that sacrifice, brings Dream into existence. Two people needed to perform the action of intercourse for the mother who gives birth to a child to have made a sacrifice; the act of intercourse induces the sacrifice, which is the state of pregnancy. To go back to the empire example, you need to perform the act of stabbing or shooting a bunch of people, or if you're not into all out war, the act of slitting the throat of the king, for instance. The act induces the sacrifice, which is death, which enables the dream to come true. But more broadly, spark is literally energy, the force that makes the planet move, the sword to swing, the fire to burn.
The child of Dream and Spark is Will. Will is consciousness, the ability to make something happen, to manipulate energy to accomplish a purpose, to make the dream come true.
The combination of all three, Dream, Spark, and Sacrifice, is what creates life, a physical manifestation of the Will; this is what makes life special above all other things. When in your physical body, the Will is bound by that body because the body created by Dream, Spark, and Sacrifice creates a barrier that the Will cannot cross, which is why almost no one can manipulate energy on their own. Once you die, you either cross into the Underworld, the land of dreams, or a Sacrifice in the form of emotional connection interacts with the Will to block it from returning to the Underworld, binding you to the Mortal Realm, making you a ghost, a will that exists in the Mortal Realm but without a physical body usually cannot perceive the world except for other Wills, trapping spirits stuck in the Mortal Realm in their own memories unless they can use the body of another as a host.
The exception to the binding of the Will to the body is through Dream; when you dream, your Spark transfers your will to the Underworld, where all dreams live. Spark has a natural magnetism towards the Underworld, and the Will has a natural attraction to Spark, meaning when you're asleep, Spark is no longer bound by consciousness and is able to take the Will to its natural home before waking. As I said before, dreams are fueled by memory, so when you dream, the Underworld is slowly taking memories from you until you wake up, meaning that most people forget most of what they dream about.
The Mortal and Immortal Realms are separated by a substance in the air known as Valin Steel, which has the effect of cancelling out any binding effect of a sacrifice, detaching Spark energy from the physical form it is bound to, causing it to by default return to the Immortal realm. When Spirits are summoned from the Immortal Realm to the Mortal Realm, that creates a disturbance which causes Valin Steel particles to form into visible chunks of a metallic substance stronger than normal steel. Valin Steel is particularly dangerous because of its combustibility, with only a small amount of exposure to fire being sufficient to cause explosions that can level neighborhoods if not cities with just a few pounds of material.
One other reaction is that of the Will interacting with the physical world. The Will generates Spark, and when it is not bound to a physical body but is still bound to the Mortal Realm, that Spark, when a spirit uses it to manipulate the Mortal world, sinks into and irradiates any material under it, which creates a substance called Emanation, which contains certain levels of Spark, which means it can be combined with other ingredients to induce specific magical effects when the solution makes contact with something; Emanation is thus the basis for all magical potions.
MAGIC
As I said, the Will of a living being cannot cross past or alter that body, but when a living thing dies, while most go to the Underworld, some are trapped here, without a body to bind the Will. Unbound, a spirit's Will allows them manipulate the Spark, and this forms the source of all magic in this world; the key to using magic, therefore, is developing some type of relationship or having a pre-existing relationship with a spirit. Without any sacrifice, spirits can use telekinesis, lightning generation and manipulation, and thermokinesis. Because Spark forms the basis of cognition, spirits can enter your brain and steal your thoughts and memories, share thoughts and memories by imparting them to the being they're passing through, essentially able to impart "suggestions" that, in their strongest form, can act as a form of hypnosis.
Spirits can also briefly possess creatures, but bodies are generally not equipped to handle two sparks in a single host. A spirit possessing a body would cause every part of that body to want to move, and having two sparks in one body can end up killing the host because without constant movement the extra spark ends up just absorbing oxygen from the air for stimulation. This is why when possession occurs it is usually only for brief periods, like a minute or so. The exception is if people learn certain war dances which allow them to use their whole bodies, they can be possessed, therefore possessing the power of spirits, for a much longer time; they have to keep dancing to maintain the stability, and this form of magic use has given birth to multiple martial arts styles based on encircling and constantly barraging your opponent; some of the arts are called Sand-Dancing, Water-Dancing, and Mud-Dancing, all based on using bouts of telekinesis to quickly harness easy to manipulate materials to overwhelm opponents (the inspiration for these martial arts styles would be Capoeira; Capoeira is extremely effective and allows for constant movement).
So the biggest fuel for my magic system is the issue of perception. Most people can't remember visiting the Underworld, most people can't see beyond their bodies, most people cannot see ghosts in the Mortal Realm, and most ghosts cannot see the Mortal Realm because they don't have a physical body with which they can perceive. This creates a situation where, while anyone can use magic because most people can develop some type of connection with spirits, it is difficult in practice for most to do so.
But some people are born with, or in rare cases develop, a unique bond with dream, giving them some or all of these abilities. Really creatives, people with certain mental disorders, or people born from uniquely difficult circumstances that required sacrifice, usually on the part of the mother, that is greater emotionally or physically than what would otherwise be expected, are more connected to Dream, and are therefore more able to perceive it beyond just their physical senses. This represents around 10% of the population; a strong sign of one of these abilities is lucid dreaming, because it means you are able to navigate the Underworld while not having your memories stolen, meaning you can essentially access the dream world whenever you sleep, or if you're trained whenever you want. Seeing spirits in the mortal realm is rare; around 2% of people have the ability, and it's really useful because spirits have the ability to manipulate energy but can't perceive the world around them, meaning that you can make a deal with a spirit for them to lend you their services in exchange for lending your body to them. Another rare ability is astral projection, which comes hand in hand with the ability to perceive the Mortal Realm as a spirit because both involve the ability to perceive the world beyond your physical body. So these ghosts, unlike others, are under normal circumstances essentially autonomous because they can perceive the world around them, meaning they can interact with the world without the constraints of a physical body. These are usually the deadliest types of spirits.
In order to change the nature of something, you need a sacrifice and a spirit must provide the spark necessary to activate that sacrifice. There are three different types of sacrifices:
  1. White Sacrifices, which are made by causing mental anguish or connection. This sacrifice is necessary for two purposes; to create and bind someone to a magical oath which makes it so such an oath cannot be broken as long as the person bound to the oath remains bound, or to create a magical bond between two or more beings, allowing those bonded with each other to communicate telepathically, to perceive events through each otherā€™s eyes, to share memories, and when one dies, to share a living body.
  2. Red Sacrifices, which are made simply by spilling blood. This sacrifice is necessary to transform the physical form of one thing into another form. For instance, to transform an inanimate object into another inanimate object, one must coat that object with their own blood, and have a spirit activate that blood sacrifice by using their spark. Typically, Red Sacrifices involve shedding oneā€™s own blood to change their physical form; when Red Sacrifices are activated, their form changes. When transforming into a form larger than themselves, the spell will cause a person to absorb the soft matter (water, sand, dust, mud, etc.) around them to gain mass, and when transforming into a form smaller than themselves, they shed mass in the form of ā€œFormsandā€, which they can then use to transform into their original form. This sacrifice can be permanently imbued as an ability to change into a specific form and back using tattoos made from emanation; the process of tattooing spills the blood necessary for a blood sacrifice, and the specific ingredients, the placement of the ink, and the Will of the tattooer and the tattooed determine the specific form they turn into. Descendants of those who shape shift inherit some of the characteristics of the altered forms of their parents.
    1. Some animals have also evolved ways of using Red Sacrifices to give themselves enhancements, such as the ability to breathe fire.
  3. Black sacrifices, which are made by taking a life. This sacrifice is necessary to bind spirits of the dead to a physical form. The target spirit can perform or activate the sacrifice, but if the target spirit is one that the magic user wishes to control, another spirit has to make and activate the sacrifice. This can be used for a variety of purposes, including permanently binding spirits to a physical object and forcing it to do the bidding of the user, and permanently binding a spirit to a dead corpse, giving them new life in a new body.
Spellcasting is the act of giving spirits you are bound to instructions to perform an action. Basically, spirits recognize certain words as commandments to perform an action based on what they've learned; the more people that recognize a specific word as a specific command, the more potent that spell becomes. Spellcasting in the context of telepathic acts is often performed with songs or poetry, with certain phrases being used as a form of hypnotism as the melodic effect coincides with the spirits placing ideas in your head; this also happens to act as a sort of work-around to the requirement of possession for mind control because the spirit doesn't need to channel their energy through the whole body, just the mind, and they don't need to completely enter the person's body to influence them; this allows some magic users to cross the line from hypnotism into genuine mind control.
EDIT: PHENOMENA
Mycelium (interconnected fungal tissue that connects trees in a forest to each other) has the effect of acting as an anchor for spirits of the dead whose bodies perish near it. To start at the beginning of the development of the sentience of a forest, let's say that a spirit or spirits die in a forest without any preexisting network due to a traumatic incident are bound to that forest. So unlike in most instances, the Will is able to travel amongst the mycelium network, and at this point there's just a small ability to perceive the outside world because the mycelium network combines with the Will to detect vibrations. But more wills are necessary to develop a sentience that can respond to the world around it, and the Will still can more easily perceive other Wills. So when other creatures die in the forest, that little bit of spark can use those deaths as a blood sacrifice binding more and more spirits to the mycelium network, allowing different sparks to coordinate, share memories and connection, strengthen the conscious and sensory aspects of the mycelium network. After a while, enough Wills and enough intelligence, memory and experience is integrated into a single network for it to develop consciousness. And so many forests in this world are living, sentient beings; the mycelium connecting all the plant life in the forest functions as a neural network, far more expansive than any human mind.
And so because of this phenomenon, living creatures who die in a forest, both humans and animals, are integrated into the mycelium network of the forest they died in, and must work to preserve and protect it. Because all Spirits can utilize Will but are subservient to the will of the forest they died in, forests can utilize vast amounts of Will. Spirits of those who die in the forest are known as "Guardians," and within the forest they are bound to the area they died in, and they become the Guardians of that area; for instance within a forest, the spirit of a creature who died in a river will become a Guardian of that river, and the spirit of a creature who died near a tree will become a guardian for that tree. Guardians interact with each other and can share their thoughts and knowledge with each other, and all their thoughts, knowledge and memories are known to the forest. Guardians act as enforcers of the will of the forest and must act in accordance with the forest's will regardless of their own desires. Guardians can perceive the world by possessing the animals within the forest. Different forests have different levels of mycelium connectivity, and rainforests are more connected than other forests.
Some people and intelligent animals are born with a trait allowing them to literally transform their bodies into Will and back, which allows them to become intangible; these people are called Wraiths. While intangible, Wraiths cannot breathe, so imagine being able to walk through walls but having to hold your breath every time to do so. Whenever Wraiths turn intangible normal clothes phase through them, so they need to wear a special type of cloth made from pure emanation; this fabric is light and so loose that it constantly flows.
So in almost every case, as stated before, a living body can only hold one spark. The extremely rare phenomena known as Hectanera, is the birth of a person born with two sparks bound to one body, stems from the sexual union between two people, both fully possessed by spirits during the act; this is extremely dangerous because most people can't be possessed by a spirit for that long with a relatively limited set of movements you can do. This act has to create a White Sacrifice between the two partners based on performing that extreme action. Even then, most of these result in stillbirths, as to be born, the mother of the Hectanera must die during childbirth (although her life may be spared if the father dies during the pregnancy), creating the Red and Black Sacrifices necessary to birth a form with two sparks.
Hectanera are the only beings in the world with the ability to use magic without the assistance of Spirits, effectively able to use telekinesis and generate electricity whenever they want to, and can also independently activate sacrifices to change the form of something or create a bond. But more than that, the effect of having two sparks in a single body increases the power of their magic exponentially, to the point where some have been rumored even to be able to move mountains.
Hectanera also do not age, as they are partially created from Dream. While a Hectanera's ability to use magic can be nullified by Valin Fire, the Spark within a body is self-sustaining, so Valin Fire merely has the effect of dimming that spark until it slowly regenerates, meaning that only constant exposure to large amounts of Valin Fire can truly defeat a Hectanera.
The Rizadari has never been seen; it is more so a prophecy. Theoretically, there is another way to use magic without the aid of spirits; by having a spirit get a human to willingly be possessed by it, then tricking that human by permanently attaching itself to the human's living body by having another spirit activate a black sacrifice, and, if the spirit's will is strong enough, the spirit's Will completely obliterates that of the host, separating Spark and Dream permanently and giving that spirit a new life in the possessed body, with all of the memories and knowledge of that the former owner of the body had. Because this new body holds two sparks, it has all of the same powers as the Hectanera. This change is permanent, and once this form of possession has been achieved, it can never be undone; in fact, it's better to destroy the body so that its original owner can no longer be stuck in the body and pass on to the Underworld.

2024.05.16 17:11 adorkable03 What happens now?

Iā€™m fairly new to the hospital Iā€™m working at. But had been a tech for quite sometime. During training all I heard from trainers and co-workers is that I can be self-sufficient right away and that I can handle being in an off-shift. An opportunity arose to be overnights and I wanted it mainly for the differential so I grabbed it and I was to move to overnights once training is over. There are still things I need to learn but itā€™s been steady.
Now to the issue. We were tasked to do the competency for our 7th month which is the first month after training. The learning coordinator said itā€™s not that difficult, just some basic stuff but being on overnight with just 3 or 4 people, you donā€™t have that much time to focus on your competency. About a week or two ago, I received news that my aunt (who I regard as like a bonus mom) had a heart attack and was hospitalized. They live in a different country and I felt helpless. I grew up in that country and we were really close but itā€™s far away that I canā€™t just go on a plane to see her. I sped through my competency on that week because I was trying to chase the feeling of fulfillment. Because I felt helpless with my aunt situation, finishing my competency felt like dopamine to me not realizing I didnā€™t really make sure I answered questions right. Nobody at work knew I was going through something. Now I got called by the QA to discuss with me that I failed a couple of modules on the competency. Itā€™s not that big of a ā€œfailureā€. I needed to get an 85% rate but I got 83% so they had me do a reassessment. I also got the wet samples wrong (there was confusion on this part because my sample was QNS and I emailed the learning coordinator and she said I could either do sample 4 or 14. I chose 14 but the next day when I did my additional testing for that competency because I didnā€™t get to finish the day before because I had to prioritize patient samples I mistakenly grabbed 4 and towards the end, nothing was lining up so I figured out I grabbed the wrong sample, it was just a MESS! I made myself confused because I was trying to rush it in because I wanted to focus more on patient samples)
Anyway, they made me do a reassessment but now Iā€™m so anxious and worried with everything I do. I lost confidence and Iā€™m actually thinking that Iā€™m not competent because I failed the competency. I know the personal stuff should not be part of work but it can really make you emotional sometimes. It can give you brain fog and I thought at that time that I was okay. But after discussions with my S/O, he pointed out that I maybe more affected by my auntā€™s situation more than I think. Itā€™s not an excuse for making mistakes whatsoever though, Iā€™m just pissed I didnā€™t realize that it was affecting me a certain way. What does that mean for me? If I fail again does that mean I get fired?

2024.05.16 16:56 AdrianM1996 Type me (repost)

Iā€™m posting this again because I didnā€™t really get any satisfactory answers.
I always got INTP or ISTP on those free tests but Iā€™m not sure.
ā€¢ How old are you? What's your gender? Give us a general description of yourself.
I am a 27 years old trans man. I have been socially transitioning for nearly 4 years and medically transitioning for 7 months. Iā€™ve uprooted my life in more ways than one and itā€™s by far been one of the best decisions Iā€™ve made.
ā€¢ Is there a medical diagnosis that may impact your mental stability somehow?
I have been struggling with depression and anxiety on and off since my adolescence and probably have ADHD or autism as well.
ā€¢ Describe your upbringing. Did it have any kind of religious or structured influence? How did you respond to it?
Iā€™m an only child. My mumā€™s always been something of a fire-cracker and has struggled with alcoholism and emotional abuse from her mum. She always had very high expectations of me and sheā€™s probably part of the reason why I have such unreasonable expectations for myself. My dad is a lot more chill even if he doesnā€™t get me 100 percent of the time. Ultimately, I think they tried their best. My parents arenā€™t particularly religious but I went to a Catholic school until I was nine. I never really bought into it and it was a relatively chill school but it probably affected me in some way.
ā€¢ What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not?
I honestly havenā€™t been able to hold down a stable job at all. After getting a pretty useless degree, my jobs have all been crappy and short-lived and I never really figured out what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to be a writer or an artist but I have a near permanent case of creative burnout. Iā€™m a part-time zookeeping student right now.
ā€¢ If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed?
It depends. If Iā€™ve had a busy week Iā€™ll welcome the peace and quiet. If things have been quiet Iā€™ll get bored and a bit lonely.
ā€¢ What kinds of activities do you prefer? Do you like, and are you good at sports? Do you enjoy any other outdoor or indoor activities?
I have a mixture of indoor and outdoor hobbies. I like gaming, especially RPGs, builders, and dumb shooters. I also enjoy card games and board games and Iā€™ve recently started picking up chess. I like watching movies and anime, particularly horror and action. I used to read a lot of fiction but I find myself too distracted these days. If I do read itā€™s usually nonfiction about a topic Iā€™m interested in or academic works.
In terms of outdoor hobbies, Iā€™m only just opening up to them as Iā€™ve been a particularly notorious shut-in for a lot of my life. I enjoy nature walks, working out, bouldering, gardening, and swimming. Iā€™m not amazing at sports but I wouldnā€™t say Iā€™m completely useless either. I prefer more solitary activities to team based ones. I have a bit of a competitive streak and exercise helps keep it in check.
ā€¢ How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate?
Very curious. I usually have a couple of ideas on the go but I wouldnā€™t say Iā€™m overflowing with them. My curiosities are usually about the natural world, video game lore, and new hobbies I may want to take up.
ā€¢ Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be?
I could be an okay leader if no one else was able to take up the position but I would be anxious about the responsibility and expectations others have of me. Iā€™d like to think Iā€™m firm but fair.
ā€¢ Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity?
Iā€™m okay. I can match other peopleā€™s movements quite well. I can get a little bit careless and clumsy when Iā€™m distracted or anxious though.
ā€¢ Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer.
Back when I used to draw, I drew a lot of tattoo designs and illustrations. Like something youā€™d find on an album cover or a book cover. I also drew many of the creatures and characters I wrote about. Iā€™m have an eye for colour and I am drawn to art-deco and art-nouveau aesthetics.
ā€¢ What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?
The past, while not always easy to revisit due to fuzzy memories or trauma, has led me to this very moment. I try to take every day as it comes and that has helped me a lot. I am nervous for the future as I have few concrete plans and life may throw me a curve ball. But I am also excited to see what has in store for me.
ā€¢ How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?
It depends whoā€™s asking and what they want help with.
ā€¢ Do you need logical consistency in your life?
Absolutely.
ā€¢ How important is efficiency and productivity to you?
Efficiency is pretty good. Work smarter, not harder and all that. Productivity less so. Iā€™m just happy when I get things done.
ā€¢ Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that?
Not really. Unless they are negatively impacting me or other people I prefer to leave people to their own devices.
ā€¢ What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?
Pretty sure I already answered this question.
ā€¢ What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses?
Iā€™m a visual and hands-on learner. I suck at internalising verbal instruction. I despise overly rigid learning environments so I struggled a lot in school. I enjoy learning at my own pace and by going out and doing things first-hand.
ā€¢ How good are you at strategizing? Do you easily break up projects into manageable tasks? Or do you have a tendency to wing projects and improvise as you go?
Improvise but I try to make a basic structure that I may or may not deviate from.
ā€¢ What are your aspirations in life, professionally and personally?
To be the best version of myself I can be and live the most fulfilling and rich life I can.
ā€¢ What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why?
My two biggest fears are quite abstract and they are being aimless and being trapped. Iā€™m also mildly agoraphobic and afraid of wasps. I hate wilful ignorance and bigotry, especially when those things actively make the world a worse place for everyone.
ā€¢ What do the "highs" in your life look like?
I feel alive, happy, and a zest for life. I feel like Iā€™m running on a motor and that I can do anything I want.
ā€¢ What do the "lows" in your life look like?
When I feel low, I get in a funk and itā€™s very hard to get out. I literally find it impossible to relax unless someone is there to get me out of my head. If Iā€™m not careful I can get isolated. And thatā€™s when I start to spiral.
ā€¢ How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?
Sometimes I let my mind wander, particularly when Iā€™m listening to music. It doesnā€™t take much to bring me back to reality though.
ā€¢ Imagine you are alone in a blank, empty room. There is nothing for you to do and no one to talk to. What do you think about?
Iā€™d probably go a bit mad and try to devise an escape plan.
ā€¢ How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it?
I like to take my time to weigh out the pros and cons. I make stupid decisions when Iā€™m rushed. I may change my mind if circumstances change and itā€™s not going to inconvenience me too much.
ā€¢ How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life?
A long time. My emotions are a mess and I barely know what I am feeling half the time. Journaling has helped me make sense of them and processing them to a degree.
ā€¢ Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why?
Not really. I either stay quiet or try to disagree with them in a productive way depending on how bold Iā€™m feeling at the time.
ā€¢ Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why?
I follow rules if they are there for a good reason. Like waiting in line. If theyā€™re stupid rules I have less qualms about breaking them.

2024.05.16 15:33 bostonmovingcompany How to Pack an Office for Moving

Imagine stepping into your office on moving day, surrounded by boxes and chaos. The thought alone can induce stress. But what if I told you thereā€™s a way to navigate this transition smoothly? Letā€™s embark on a journey to master the art of packing your office for a seamless move.
Moving offices can be a daunting task, but with the right approach, it becomes a manageable endeavor. Whether youā€™re relocating your business to a new location or simply revamping your current space, packing efficiently is key to a successful move.

Assess Your Inventory:

Before diving into packing, take stock of your office belongings. Determine what items are essential and what can be discarded or donated. This initial step sets the foundation for an organized packing process.

Create a Packing Plan:

Develop a systematic approach to packing your office. Start by prioritizing items based on their importance and frequency of use. Consider labeling boxes according to their contents and destination within the new office layout.

Gather Necessary Supplies:

Stock up on packing materials such as boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and markers. Having these essentials on hand streamlines the packing process and ensures your items are properly protected during transit.

Protect Sensitive Equipment:

Safeguard electronic devices and delicate equipment by wrapping them in protective materials like bubble wrap or foam padding. Moreover, be sure to label these items as fragile to prevent mishandling during the move.

Organize Files and Documents:

Sort through paperwork and files, discarding any outdated or unnecessary documents. Invest in sturdy file boxes or storage containers to keep important paperwork organized and easily accessible during and after the move.

Label Everything:

Clearly label each box with its contents and designated location in the new office. Also, this step facilitates efficient unpacking and helps movers or colleagues know where to place each box upon arrival.
Important tips: How to label moving boxes

Coordinate with Movers:

If hiring professional movers, communicate your packing plan and any specific instructions regarding fragile items or sensitive equipment. Collaboration with movers ensures a coordinated effort and minimizes the risk of damage during transit.

Maintain Accessibility:

Keep essential items and documents easily accessible throughout the packing process. Designate a specific area or box for crucial items such as office supplies, client files, and electronic devices needed for day-to-day operations.

Conclusion:
