I'm in over my head and need help. I can't tell what the right thing is to do in my situation and I'm overwhelmed. We have 3 issues, gutter damage, roof damage, and water damage from a hail storm in March 2024.
We have gutters in the front of the house that would drain into the ground, with pop ups dispersing the water away from the house. In the storm, one of those gutters was damaged, and redirected water into a front corner of our home. The rush of hail and rain flooded the area, which then seeped down, and in through some crack in the foundation and flooded our basement. We had about 1/8th to 1/4 inch of water in half of the basement.
After we cleaned up, we called our insurance company. The agent told us to call ServPro to manage clean up. ServPro came out and said they were there on the claim number and went to work. There was no discussion of charges, or potential charges. The only thing I was asked to sign was a form saying that when they left, the equipment they were leaving (fans and humidifiers) was in my possession and my responsibility.
The adjustor came a week later and after only looking at the drain and being at the house for under 3 minutes said, "You aren't going to like this, but this isn't covered." His argument is that it was ground water, regardless of if the storm damaged the gutter causing the water to pool up.
We also had the roof inspected for damage.
The final outcome was total damage to our house that was covered was $5200 and our deductible is $5400. That was very suspicious.
We asked for a reinspection. That took nearly a month and half to get scheduled. When the new adjuster came, we didn't find out until after the inspector was on the roof that it was the same inspector as the first inspection. I asked how that was legal or right, as he is not incentivized to say he was wrong, and actually he is incentivized to keep his original estimate.
We had a roofing contractor out, and both they and the inspector completely disagreed on the damage to the roof. The roofing company said there was between 3-8 hits per 10' square from the hail and the inspector said it was 3 maximum.
The adjustor left saying his estimate was $4600 in damages.
ServPro says we owe them $7000 for the clean up, as the insurance isn't covering the water damage.
We've been given a bid of $56K to repair our roof and a separate bid of $11,500 to fix the basement and gutters.
I should note that literally dozens of other homes in our neighborhood have had their roofs repaired or replaced in this 2 month period of fighting, and all 3 of our neighbors (both sides and behind us) have had theirs replaced fully. I have a hard time believing my house, which has no tree coverage over the roof, was unscathed and yet all my neighbors, some of whom have tree cover over their house, all had their roofs replaced.
The roofing company referred me to a local appraiser, who said I should invoke the appraisal clause. He said he would come to the house and look at the situation first before we hire him and proceed with that.
He says we should not hire an attorney until after the appraisal clause is invoked, as if we do, the attorney fees would be covered by the insurance company.
I've done some online research and it seems mixed regarding should a homeowner invoke the appraisal clause or not. It seems to be a high cost to us (This appraiser is $1500 plus $250 for every 10K over 50K we are awarded) and a high risk that our appraiser and the insurance company's appraiser won't agree, which I've read can be 6 to 12+ months to resolve.
The appraiser told me on the phone that our water damage should be covered as it is "consequential water" not "ground water". I can't find anything in our policy using "consequential water" but he said not to share that term with our insurance agent, or they'd know we are in the process of hiring an appraiser. I tried to search online for this, and can't find anything specific about "consequential water" being covered or even talked about, yet he was adamant it was normal and covered.
I feel very out of my element and potentially being taken for a ride by everyone I talk to. I've had my insurance company for 31 years (Farmers) and never had a claim, and I'm very frustrated with this entire experience. I travel a lot for my work too (3 times in the last 4 weeks alone) and it makes meeting people at my home difficult, lengthening everything.
I really need some advice and guidance.

***Will add link to questionnaire in the comments or edit post if sharing it here is possible given community guidelines and positive responses.
Hi I'm a uni student writing a research paper on the Japanese national security policies and pacifism, needing to share qualitative survey questionnaires to the Japanese public.

• Goal is exactly 385 respondents
• Link to the NSS is in the description
• They don't need prior knowledge on the subjects, just their opinions and perspectives.
• Can be anyone from the Japanese public demographic above 18
• Data collected is anonymous and only answers will be collected
• will not publish the paper

Any additional advice will greatly be appreciated. Or any info on platforms reaching out to the Japanese public.
*I've already shared it through some friends I met in my country.

Hello everyone, I am a 18M turning 19 soon ( Going to University) and the person in question is already 19F ( Not going to Uni because of VISA problem). I have social communication disorder and I’m not particularly good at social dilemma. I have already done a lot of research on how to move forward but I figure I should also post on reddit as well to get some more tailor advice and input from strangers.
There is this particular girl I meet in high school at 8th grade that I really enjoyed talking to ever since I meet her. I really liked her, from our chemistry together to our similar immigrant backgrounds ( I am Chinese who is born in Vietnam, and she is Filipino. We both went to private school back in our country and in similar socioeconomic backgrounds.) to how she looks sort of like me ( Same eyes, same nose, and I also have some feminine facial features). She also are interested in similar subjects as I am, as we’re both into really into Jungian Psychology, and we’re into East Asian pop culture ( Although I am more interested in Anime while she is interested in K-pop). While there is some differences between us, for instance I am more self contained and analytical ( Very INTJ) she is less so and more carefree than I was. Perhaps because we’re very similar to each other but slightly different enough, our chemistry really work well with each other. For instance, I am usually more serious and blunt while she sort of ease the tension a little bit and make our conversation more fun and less serious. Like a comedic duo. I really like her, which is why I confessed to her in tenth grade. I am very cautious and I thought I had great but not certain chance of success, that being said I was aware of the possibility she would rather stay friends. I confessed, gave her the next day to think about it. In the morning, she hesitantly told me she would give me a chance and I was ecstatic. But by lunch time, she said she didn’t want to date me anymore and her reason was that she’s not ready and in the right place to be dating just yet. I was sad and confused as I’m not too well aware what she is referring about but she said no and I still wanted to be friends with her so I said that it’s okay and we can still be friends. For the next 6-8 month we remain friend till the end of 10th grade. She told me she going to a private school, and at that point I thought I understood why she changed her mind at dating. I wished her the best, and said she has my instagram and we could hang out if we’re free. We said goodbye and we never hangout after that.
For almost two year during our 11th grade till the end of 12th grade, I honestly just forgot about her. I was busy with school, made new friends, and don’t really used instagram much and just didn’t really have an interested in talking to her. Life just happens, and I’m not really the person who get attached or fixated on someone and I don’t think she was either. On the 2nd of May 2024 ( Almost a month ago), we just randomly meet each other on a bus. Just a crazy coincidence really, I mean I don’t use SM much and didn’t really tell anyone my schedule so no way she was stalking me. We got talking again and we still have the same chemistry between us, and of course more importantly, she is still very attractive. We’re on friendly term and so I asked her why did she reject me in 10th grade. She gave me the same answer, and I confessed that I felt guilty because I didn’t know she had to move school and it was probably for the best she said no. It wasn’t awkward at all, she smiles a little I think. We kept talking after that, I even got off the bus early to keep talking to her. Then she told me to hide because her mom is really strict about her being with a boy. I thought what?? It’s 2024 and she is 19, what is she on about. But I still complied and there was a rock we just sat on and just kept on talking for two hours until it was dark. I probably could still talk to her another hour or two but she said she had “curfew” and can’t be home to late which I thought was really weird and honestly I didn’t process when she said that so I just replied okay and nod and said I really like talking to her and want to keep talking. But no instagram, I wanted her phone number. She gave me her phone number and we just hugged and said our goodbyes.
We decided next Saturday to hangout, and Saturday came and she had to abruptly canceled it. I told her it’s fine and we can just reschedule it. She left me on read. For two day. I am diagnosed with SPCD ( one way to view it is I have autism but only the social deficit parts of ASD), and I really thought I fucked up. I really start having an existential crisis because in the past I assume people were having a good time when they didn’t. And in my head, I really thought I was experiencing a different realm of reality than her. I thought our entire relationship was a lies I made up and that I had forced her to hangout with me. After all we never hang out outside of high school, she said no to my confession, I followed her out of the bus but she didn’t want me to know where she lived, I was the one who said to hang out on Saturday but she canceled abruptly. I wrote a very long text basically apologising, and saying that it’s okay and I won’t forced her to hangouts. A day later she replied saying oh don’t overthink it, and that she will replied properly. Then a week go by, absolutely nothing. See, what I don’t understand is she doesn’t go to school, has only a part time job, how is she replying so late? Then on the 8th day she replied. She said she is very sorry and that it was unacceptable and gave me the reassurance that I didn’t fuck up. She said she still wanted to see me. We set up another time to meet, over three week since I last saw her. I saw her around 5 day ago, and I went in wanting to ask so many questions but when I saw her, my brain were so conditioned that we just talk like how we always talk to each other. But I did learn one big thing, her family are Protestant Christian. I made small talk about that but didn’t ask any personal question. Then after that we just went to her house, and we just kept yapping and yapping in the living room. We had so much fun, we almost forgot I had to leave soon cause her mom is coming home. But fuck, I was supposed to confront her but we just ended up having so much fun. Idk how to feel anymore, the more I learn about her the more I realised what a pain in the ass she is, and the more I realise maybe I shouldn’t pursue a romantic relationship. I still really like her though…
But I am thinking maybe we should just remain friends, she really is not in the right space to date right now. Beside, I really don’t think she saw me as someone to date, very sad whomp whomp. Thinking of next time I see her I’ll just actually confront and clarify and set boundary in our relationship. If she see me as a friend then I’m happy too, but my penis is not very happy. If she does like me and seek to pursue a romantic relationship then I probably have a lot of work to do.
I don’t know when we will see each other again, I saw her five days ago. After we last saw each other, she said she had a lot of fun :D so I texted that I wanted to see her again. She left me on read for the last 5 days now.
If you guys have any advice, input, comment then leave it down below.

Deep down I knew I don’t need permission or confirmation that my mother is generally malignant and the ultimate source of suffering in my life right now. But I can’t accept why my own mother would do that to me.
So I am turning to you for advice, support, and insights for ways to separate yourself emotionally and individuate from your parents later in life when you should've done so much much earlier. The adult part of me knows what I should do but there is also a part of me that is frightened. let me give you a snapshot of my life trajectory. The story is long but I want to give you as much contexts as possible. If you want a short summary of the dilemma, go to the last paragraph, otherwise, here is my life story (it is long because I want to give as much context as possible, and also show clues for the many different ways a narcissistic parent can disrupt your life): I grew up in a well-to-do family in an East Asian country, my parents gave birth to me when they were in their early 20s and just as their business started taking off in the 'boom years'. Both of them came from very broken family, my mother suffered poverty, abuse, and neglect from her parents (she did not speak to her dad until he died, and almost never acknowledges her mother). My father was the least favourite child in his family of three, he dropped out of high school, ended up on the street (and, as I learnt a few years ago, later in prison for getting into fights). My mother met my dad (21) when she was 19 and ran away from her hometown, they grew a very successful business together in the early to mid 20s and became incredibly wealthy for a society that is generally still very poor. I had a lot of luxuries in my early childhood, we had a car, I had good clothing, but my parents were never around. I started boarding at the age of 3, and generally spent most of my time outside of kindergarten and school with my paternal grandparents, and occasionally, my mum's mother. My parents fought a lot, and I remember my mother threatening to take me away from my dad and drove away from home with me in a car with nowhere specific to go. Once things got really bad and my mother told me that she is divorcing my father, and we even went into another flat (for a grand total of 1 day) before returning home. She emotionally smothered me, told me that she would die for me and nobody would love me as much as her. As the expression in our language puts it ' You are a piece of flesh fallen from my body'. She hit me a lot, often over small things , sometimes in public, I remember being thrown outside of our apartment and crying in the corridor. But I thought she was better than my father, whom, in my mother's words, would swiftly remarry in an event of her death/departure, and I would then be abused by another evil mother in law and her offsprings. My dad was completely absent from my childhood save for the first year (I remember playing video game, going to the park with him at the age of 3).
Although my family was wealthy, my mother took me out of the posh international school I was in after 6 months and sent me to a state school that is (in)famous for being extremely strict and militant. I was a 'good, smart kid' in primary school, but when I got to the state school at the age around 12 or 13, I became very depressed and that life has no purpose. I was falling at almost all school subjects (except History), and I started drinking (my dad drank a lot, and alcoholism is culturally tolerated if not perpetuated). At this point something happened that saved me in retrospect. My family decided to emigrate to an anglophone New World country and I went to yet another boarding school there. Yes, I experienced racism and generally felt horrible about the way I looked (not good looking in the Western sense or sporty), but I got to be separated from my family and grew as an individual. My grades got better, and by year 12, 13 I was among the best performing students. Between 13-18, I rarely see my father (perhaps once or twice a year), my mother would visit periodically, they bought a house next to the school, so I started to live in the house (mostly alone, sometimes with my mother and whatever hapless young women she manipulated into being her assistant). My parents couldn't speak English, and I dealt with most family matters, as with many first gen immigrant kid. By the time that I was supposed to go to university, I wanted to do law & politics at the public university in my adopted hometown but then my father intervened stating that I would never get a good job at a respectful company with a degree from the backwater 2nd rate university. He insisted that I should go to the U.K. or the U.S. He also stopped me from taking a gap year to travel, so I mostly stayed at home, played game, whilst being a driver and an assistant to them for a year. I regret not leaving home and getting a job. I applied to many universities in the U.K, Canada, and Australia, got into most of them, and ended up choosing the worst ranked university because I wanted to be in London. I couldn't do a conjoint degree so I chose to study politics (as that's what I was interested in). University life was eye opening, I got to see Europe, realised that the world was much bigger than the conformist, conservative East Asian country and the backwater suburbs with strip-malls and junk food stores I grew up in. But the degree did not prepare me for life, and all those years of bad parenting, emotionally under-development made me miserable in my first taste of adult relationships. I chose emotionally distant if not abusive friends, was a horrible person who hurt people who actually liked me and loved me. I did no internship or travel because I was expected to go home during school holiday, helping them move house, looking after guests, and being the 'little husband' when my mother was giving brith to my youngest sibling. I really wanted to stay in London, I looked for jobs, very random jobs because I had no life skills and never ever made my own money. So in the end, I left, and had to return to East Asia. By this time, my father had moved to another, more cosmopolitan East Asian city as his lifestyle became more and more extravagant. I lived with him and started interning at a fancy company in the culture industry. I worked there for almost a year hoping they would offer me a job, they did not. I got another job fairly soon in brand consulting, and finally at the age of 23 started making money. I had a relationship with an older woman, she was kind and tolerant, and I was an arse. I also realised that I cannot combine intimacy and sex at this point. I tried to start my own freelancing consultancy, acquired the ability to impress other people (faking it). Things seem to be working, I almost made enough money to support my life, but I was fundamentally lost and unhappy. I had the first depressive episode in my life. I wanted to go back to London, to get a Masters degree. So I applied and got into my dream school, my father agreed to pay for my education, so off I went to university again. That was probably the happiest year of my life, it turned out I loved elements of academia, research, being with other smart nerdy people. I met an intelligent, caring, and beautiful woman, and we moved in together soon after. I discovered more fulfilling, freer ways to live, I found proofs that a successful life was not just about working for an investment bank, or being rich. I wanted to be an academic, so I applied for a PhD at the school, and I got in after two attempts. Academia isn't all rosy, the work condition is pretty awful, the publish or perish mentality literally sucks every last bit of joy and fulfilment out of research, I loved teaching, but quickly learnt that teaching matters little at a 'research university'. I got fat, my relationship got really bad, sex became non-existent, arguments soon turned physical, and I thought that I was a real piece of shit and better off dead. The only thing that kept me going at the time? Bitterness and shame. I felt indebted to everyone, to my partner because I was an abusive arsehole, and to my family because I was stupid enough to do a PhD and wasting their money (and my life away). The pandemic hits, and sure enough, things got even worse, I felt like I couldn't carry on anymore and that I needed to radically un-f my life. My solution to this: was to finally become the person my family wanted me to be, filial, loyal, and rich. I was ready to threw my life in London away, everything, my home, my girlfriend, my PhD and move back to East Asia to become rich, and 'stop being a loser'. I came home to 'fix my family' and showered everyone with love and attention in ways I never did. I networked and explored ways to get into finance, and I got an at a VC firm. Soon enough, the whole thing completed backfired and my life started to unravel faster than I could count to three. I hated the internship, it fundamentally clashed with who I was and my value, I cried everyday in the toilet at work. I also broke up with my girlfriend for a person who was the poplar opposite of her that I had no attachment to (and sex was great because there was zero emotional intimacy). Within 3 months, I had very little savings left, was living in a short term rental apartment, and spent most of my time in bed and eating very unhealthily. Luckily, I had a therapist, a good friend in Shanghai, and my girlfriend was willing to give me a second chance. It was also around this time I realised how my family's (what do you even call it) emotional neglect might have contributed to my unhappiness and depression. I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and medicated, the medicine helped for me to move out of paralysis. But I wanted to tell my family that I am very unwell and get them to love me back, so I confronted them over things they have done to me as a kid and showed them the diagnosis. My mother did not handle this well. She called me horrible names, made fun of me, and accused me for being a horrible son. This whole ordeal made me realise that I needed to break away from them, and what I had thrown away in London was actually the most valuable things I have in life, a career, a family, my own identity. After confronting my mother over her abusive behaviour and emotional smothering, she vowed to never see me again. However, after 6-8 months, she sent me a large chunk of money for my birthday. So I, stupidly, let her back into my life again, a part of the reason was the financial help that I needed (to feel safe mostly), but I also really wanted to see proofs that my parents actually did love and accept me after all. At first, things got better, she came for Christmas, visited a few times, celebrated her birthday, and looked really happy. Both my partner and I spent a lot of time with her, bought her gifts, cooked for her, and hang out with her to make sure she feels loved. But soon, she started complaining that she actually had a horrible time and was mistreated by my partner. To make matter worse, a year and half after I left home for the last time thinking that I would never go back, my parents promise to buy me a flat (and started to pressure me to get married). I accepted the flat, thinking that it would offer stability and freedom (pushing away the past experience of their emotional neglect and abusiveness). Sure enough, the flat became yet another way for my mother to mess with my life. It had daunted on her that I am about to become my own person and live in the flat and start a family of my own, so she lashed out and said if my girlfriend lives there she would sue me and reclaim the flat. She then went behind my back and started disputing the flat's ownership. We have already spent a lot of time and energy planning the move and all of this is happening just 2/3 weeks from the move-in. I have a demand job that requires a lot of cognitive focus, and I feel like I am spending a decent chunk of my day trying to resolve the situation in addition to processing the emotional toll of having my own mother out to destroy my life. I know I have a job, a family, and my own life, and I have a good legal case, but I also feel so unsafe, violated, and confused. I can almost feel the voice in my head telling me that this is all my doing, and that I am too weak. It is like I know what I need to do cognitively but emotionally I am paralysed. Do you think what I mean? What would you do?

In March 2024, the Japanese National Diet held extensive discussions on support for Ukraine. This article summarizes the discussions, highlighting Japan's current support for Ukraine and future prospects.
Current Support for Ukraine
The Japanese government is undertaking various initiatives to support Ukraine, particularly in the agricultural sector. These initiatives include distributing seeds, providing demining support, supplying research equipment, and inviting agricultural experts from Ukraine to Japan. Notably, in February 2024, the Japan-Ukraine Economic Reconstruction Promotion Conference was held. During this conference, Prime Minister Kishida emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine's economic recovery and industrial modernization. He stated that Japan's efforts aim to foster sustainable growth and stability in Ukraine, highlighting that such support is not merely a temporary measure but part of a long-term commitment​​.

International Cooperation and Japan's Position

Japan is actively collaborating with the international community, particularly through the G7, to implement sanctions against Russia and provide robust support for Ukraine. The Japanese government has been instrumental in pushing for coordinated international actions. For instance, during the G7 Justice Ministers' Meeting, Japan played a key role in the establishment of the Ukraine Anti-Corruption Task Force. This task force aims to support Ukraine's judicial infrastructure and anti-corruption efforts, which are critical for the country's governance and international credibility. The task force has already held two significant meetings, setting a foundation for ongoing support and collaboration. This initiative underscores Japan's dedication to reinforcing the rule of law and promoting transparency in Ukraine​​.

Ukraine Crisis and Food Issues

Ukraine's grain exports have been severely disrupted by Russia's invasion. Prior to the invasion, Ukraine was a major global grain supplier, exporting over 60 million tons annually. The Black Sea Grain Initiative facilitated the delivery of approximately 32 million tons of grain worldwide, but Russia's unilateral termination of the initiative has exacerbated global food insecurity. This action by Russia has been met with international condemnation, as it threatens the food supply of many nations dependent on Ukrainian grain​​.
In response, the Japanese government has taken decisive steps to support grain exports from Ukraine. One notable initiative is the emergency grant aid provided to transport Ukrainian wheat to Somalia. This effort is part of Japan's broader strategy to address global food insecurity while supporting Ukraine's agricultural sector. By ensuring that Ukrainian grain reaches those in need, Japan is helping to mitigate the adverse effects of the conflict on global food supply chains​​.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, the Japanese government is committed to continuing its support for Ukraine through a combination of international cooperation and targeted initiatives. Japan's approach involves balancing sanctions against Russia with substantial aid to Ukraine. This dual strategy aims to enhance Ukraine's economic recovery and industrial modernization. The government plans to further involve the private sector, leveraging public-private partnerships to maximize the impact of its support. This collaborative effort is expected to create a more resilient and diversified Ukrainian economy, capable of sustaining long-term growth and development​​.

Conclusion

The discussions in the Japanese National Diet underscored a comprehensive range of support measures for Ukraine. Japan is steadily advancing its support for Ukraine's recovery through various initiatives, including agricultural support, judicial infrastructure development, and international cooperation. By strengthening its ties with the global community and maintaining a consistent, long-term commitment, Japan's efforts reflect the proverb, "slow and steady wins the race." This approach demonstrates Japan's dedication to fostering sustainable peace and prosperity in Ukraine, one deliberate step at a time.

In scientific research and experimentation, laboratory instruments play an important role in enabling precise measurement and accuracy of liquids. Among so many liquid handling instruments, pipettes and burettes are commonly used for measuring and dispensing accurate volumes of liquids. Although there is a similarity among the usage of pipettes and burettes, yet they differ significantly in their design, usage, and applications. It’s reasonable to understand these differences for selecting the appropriate instrument for various laboratory tasks.

Design & Structure

For Pipettes:

• Structure: Pipettes are typically slender, cylindrical tubes that come in various designs, including single-channel, multi-channel, and electronic pipettes. They are generally handheld and designed for ease of use and precision.
• Tip: Pipette tips are usually made of plastic, which are attached to the end of the pipette for easier usage. This design helps prevent cross-contamination between samples.
• Volume Measurement: Pipettes are often pre-calibrated to measure fixed or adjustable volumes. Micropipettes, for example, can measure very small volumes (microliters), making them ideal for applications requiring high precision.

For Burettes:

• Structure: Burettes are long, graduated glass tubes with a stopcock at the bottom. The graduations allow for precise measurement of liquid volumes.
• Stopcock: The stopcock controls the release of liquid, allowing for fine adjustments to the flow. This feature is crucial for titration experiments, where precise control over the amount of liquid dispensed.
• Volume Measurement: Burettes are designed to measure variable volumes with high accuracy as a liquid handling equipment. The graduated markings along the length of the burette allow for precise readings, typically to the nearest 0.01 milliliters.

Usage and Applications

For Pipettes:

• Applications: Pipettes are widely used in biological, chemical, and medical laboratories for tasks such as transferring liquids, preparing solutions, and conducting assays. They are particularly useful in experiments requiring the transfer of small, precise volumes of liquid.
• Operation: To use a pipette, the user attaches a disposable pipette tip, aspirates the desired volume by pressing the plunger, and dispenses the liquid by releasing the plunger. Automatic pipettes enhance this process, by allowing precision, accuracy and efficiency.

For Burettes:

• Applications: Burettes are primarily used in titration experiments, where the precise measurement of a liquid reagent is essential to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. They are commonly used in analytical chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and food science.
• Operation: To use a burette, the user fills it with the titrant (the solution of known concentration), then carefully releases the liquid through the stopcock into the analyte (the solution being tested). The volume of titrant dispensed is read from the graduated markings on the burette.

Key Differences

1. Precision and Volume Range: Pipettes are designed for dispensing small, precise volumes, often in microliters, making them ideal for tasks requiring high accuracy. Burettes, on the other hand, are designed for larger volumes, typically ranging from 10 to 100 milliliters, and are used when precise control over the dispensed volume is needed.
2. Ease of Use: Pipettes are generally easier to use, with simpler operation and quicker handling. Burettes require more careful handling and attention to detail, especially during titrations.
3. Disposability: You can use disposable pipette tip, which helps prevent contamination and simplifies clean-up. Burettes, being made of glass, require thorough cleaning and maintenance to ensure accuracy.

Conclusion

Talking specifically about liquid handling instruments, both pipettes and burettes are essential tools in the laboratory. Pipettes excel in tasks requiring the transfer of small, precise volumes, while burettes are indispensable for titration experiments and the measurement of larger volumes with high precision. More so, by understanding the differences between these instruments helps scientists and technicians choose the right tool for their needs, ensuring accurate and reliable results in their experiments and lab work.

Have you ever wondered what you can do to get rid of that pesky stomach ache or bloated feeling?
If so, you’re in luck. Today, we’re highlighting some helpful tips that can treat common digestive problems.

7 Natural Gut Health Hacks:

1) Drink Water in the Morning

Drinking water in the morning, especially before eating, can improve your digestion. Water helps break down the food you eat, which allows your body to absorb key nutrients. Drinking water also softens stools and can prevent constipation.
What’s more, drinking water before meals can help you feel fuller and avoid overeating.
Don’t limit your water consumption to one part of the day, though! Sipping water throughout the day can keep you hydrated and support optimal digestion.

2) Chew Your Food Slowly

Chewing your food is the first part of the digestive process. Chewing slowly promotes the breakdown of food into tiny particles. This makes it easier for your body to absorb the nutrients in food.
The production of saliva during chewing also signals the upper muscle in your stomach to relax. This allows food to enter your stomach more easily.
Interestingly, one study found that chewing your food slowly can satisfy hunger cravings and reduce food consumption between meals.
But that’s not all. Chewing your food slowly can also prevent you from swallowing excess air. This is a common cause of bloating.

3) Drink Herbal Teas

Peppermint oil is a natural treatment for:

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Functional dyspepsia
• Childhood functional abdominal pain
• Post-operative nausea

Peppermint oil relaxes the smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal tract, reduces visceral pain, inhibits the growth of pathogens, and prevents gut inflammation.
Chamomile can treat symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In fact, combining chamomile with myrrh and coffee charcoal can extend the remission phase in people with ulcerative colitis. Research shows this herbal blend is just as effective as the drug mesalamines.
Ginger is a popular treatment for:

• Nausea
• Heartburn
• Flatulence
• Diarrhea
• Loss of appetite

Incredibly, ginger has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties that may also reduce the risk of gastrointestinal cancers. Studies show that ginger prevents the growth and spread of cancer cells in liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, and gastric cancer.

4) Consume Fruit by Itself

Consuming fruit by itself at least an hour before or after a meal can aid digestion and provide your body with a quick source of energy and nutrients. This is because fruit is the fastest digesting food.
Eating fruit with slow-digesting foods such as starches and proteins can slow down the digestive process. This can lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, and flatulence.
However, you can still enjoy fruit with other foods on occasion. Green leafy vegetables also digest more quickly and can be eaten with fruit without any side effects. Being mindful of your food combination choices may help alleviate digestive problems.

5) Eat Fiber-Rich Foods

Eating fiber-rich foods can naturally boost your gut health. Fiber is the indigestible plant material found in fruit, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds.
Fiber bulks up stools and makes them easier to pass. This can normalize bowel movements and prevent both constipation and diarrhea. Adding more fiber-rich foods to your diet can also reduce your risk of the following:

• Diverticulitis
• Hemorrhoids
• Gallstones
• Kidney stones
• Colon cancer
• Acid reflux
• Ulcers.

Hello everyone,
I'll cut to the chase. I'm considering making Youtube content for my Valorant gameplay. I know I'm not very good (last I ranked, I was barely Iron 3) but I figure some compilations of funny moments might get a laugh.
I also only have one character that I main the hell out of and I want to branch out. I figured that Youtube might be a fun way to document what I learn and how I get bodied in the process haha
PLEASE NOTE: I have NO intention of throwing, trolling, or purposely ruining people's games. But there are agents I don't play and guns I don't use and I think it would be fun to learn them in real time. My primary goals would be to play agents I don't play, and to also try some "certain gun only" runs (i.e. sheriff only, marshal only, etc.)
My goal would be to do these with swifties, as I take unrateds more seriously, and of course, I figure it would be downright rude to try things I don't know in comp with other people who are giving their best. The other gamemodes have no perma-death and I'd like to learn how to use the skills in an "actual" match if that makes sense? In the way that I'd need to learn how to think and plan with the skills I gain.
In order to accomplish this, I thought I'd do some research on Valorant Youtube creators in a similar vein, and I came across a lot of people who were really upset and angry because there would be content creators doing similar challenges in unrated and comp. But a few also mentioned how much they hate it even in swifties. This makes me wonder if perhaps I shouldn't go about my ideas. The reason being that I truly don't want to dampen the game experience for anyone. But I also was really excited about the ideas I had.
I know I'm not skilled enough to do it without necessarily causing other people trouble because I know some immortals or ascendants do this kind of stuff, but then again, they have the skill to still contribute even while doing so.
I would really love the community's thoughts on this. I don't want to be a toxic player, and I want to be able to be part of the community that helps keep the game fun and enjoyable.

Original rule
Please avoid posting opinions unsupported by reliable sources. Someone’s personal website is not a reliable source but a fact checked secondary source like an academic paper, a book published by a fact checked author, a reputable news paper are examples of reliable sources. An opinion piece in a news paper is not reliable.
Update
Otherwise if publishing original research as a posting to get feedback that is not based on reliable sources, use Flair:Original Research
Explanation
This update is warranted because some researchers are using this subreddit to get feedback on their original research, which we want to encourage, given that the field of Dravidiology is moribund. However, we must also maintain the integrity of general discussions among laypeople. Hence, this compromise.

(Sorry about the intentional vagueness, just trying to get advice while not throwing anyone under the bus)
I work on a research project at a major agency and started working as part of a collaboration with someone at a different office location in another state under the same agency last year. They already had a collaboration going on concerning non-mission critical work and approached me about joining because I had done work in this field in the past. They are known for being kind of being a jerk but I said yes because their other collaborators are well-respected and it seemed like a good opportunity to stay working in the field.
However, due to time constraints on what my management considers more critical work (and it is, it aligns more with some policy-related things) I'm finding it hard to continue collaborating on this other work. On top of this, the contractor who was doing most of the lab work for me is moving on so it would be up to me to do the lab work myself, which I do not have time to do. Realistically, I could do it, but it would put such a strain on me that my work would be extremely stressful for the next year and possibly impact the quality of my other more important work.
Normally I would send an email saying "Sorry, unfortunately due to other time constraints I cannot work on this any longer." but this collaborator has built up in his head that I "promised" him additional data and has built this fantasy of these additional analyses that he believes I owe him. He likes to assume a lot of things. In our last meeting, because my lab didn't have a certain dataset for a meeting he had setup he said he was "disappointed", which really made me personally mad. I don't feel like he has the right to be disappointed when I have been clear about the time pressure I am under.
There hasn't been any sort of written documentation outlining this work (like an MOU or etc.) and he doesn't pay for me to do any of this work so there's really nothing on paper binding me to this. He only provided some lab supplies, which amount to around $500, which I can ship back at any time. I've really just kept in this collaboration as a chance to get on additional publications (which I don't really need but it does help for future promotion packages) and probably a personal feeling of not wanting to fail people.
On top of all this, I've noticed that he speaks very disrespectfully to his other collaborators and comes off as very manipulative. I get a bad feeling that collaborating with this person further will be bad for my career. I would really like to stop working with him but am struggling with a graceful way to do this. I'm thinking about saying that I'm leaving the project at the end of the summer to give him some time to find someone else to continue this work.
Reading the above back to myself , I think I know what the answer is but I would really like additional advice and support on help resolving this.

Testing sexual assault kits has helped identify thousands of serial sex offenders.
Survivors experience an extreme sense of betrayal and loss of faith in the criminal justice system when their kits are not tested. Institutional betrayal takes a toll on victims.
The U.S. DoJ and American Bar Association recommend testing all rape kits, even when the statute of limitations has passed. The presence of multiple victims makes it easier to get a conviction, and has helped catch serial killers.
So why aren't all SA kits tested?

If your state still has work to do on SAK legislation (click your state and expand to see all pillars in detail to check) write your state officials to improve state laws.

​
Idaho, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, and Rhode Island have adopted gold standard rape kit inventory legislation in the U.S., and can serve as a model to other states.
Massachusetts and Rhode Island have adopted gold standard legislation on testing backlogged rape kits. All states should aspire to MA and RI on legislation to test backlogged kits.
Mississippi has model legislation on timely testing of new kits.
New York and Washington have the best rape kit tracking legislation in the country.
New York, Rhode Island, and Texas have the gold standard victim's right to know legislation.
​

The U.S. still has work to do on SAK reform. Contact your federal officials to help get national legislation through.

I (35M) recently graduated with my MSc in Comp Sc. from one of the TU9 universities in Germany. I have a little bit of a mixed background as I had an MBA before and it was in 2020 that I came back to CS. It was only during my Masters I started to enjoy doing the projects and the idea of a PhD came to my mind. However, I always feel my work (including my Master Thesis) isn't really up to the mark (even though the grade is good). Especially, when I look at publications from researchers and groups that have open positions and I feel I don't know so much, don't have publications why would they take me? I have made a few applications and received rejections and I wonder if I should even try. For example, right now there is a position on AI in Biomedicine and I read through a couple of papers from the group, and I didn't even understand some parts. I am just wondering, how would you recommend I handle this situation?

I (29F) started using pink smoking papers a handful of years ago, not flavored or scented, the only thing different from normal was the color. Where I live (not US), it’s pretty standard for people to ask strangers for a paper if you’ve run out, and I pretty quickly noticed a lot of males reacting semi strongly on the pink paper. Not only would they comment just on sight (often something about being girly or whatever), but when people came to ask for papers there was a pretty distinct difference in how people reacted when I handed them the pink paper, and after some time I realized I should probably warn them before finding it in my bag, because the majority of males would be somewhat thrown off, and decline the paper, only to ask someone at the next table. Just about every female accepted the paper, and most asked where I got it, and sometimes I would run into them later at they would wave at me from a distance to show that they had brought some in pink themselves. A small amount of the guys would react the same way (often times people who were already dressing some sort of alternatively or wearing LGBTQ+ symbols). The ones that always made me most happy was the “tough” looking guys, who would get somewhat thrown off, go through a visible thought process, and then decide that “sure why not”, sometimes smiling vaguely to themselves while walking off with the paper. Oh and the few guys who would ask me if there was actually guys who declined the paper, they were also always nice to chat with for a bit. But again, the majority would decline the paper, often somewhat quietly, and I don’t think anyone have ever made a “too girly” comment/actually put in words that they found it “not manly”.
It has made me wonder a lot about what the tings are that you guys deal with on an everyday basis, especially since there hasn’t exactly been that big a focus on the male side of mental wellbeing and social norms since the Meetoo movement, and I know a lot of guys who feel somewhat overlooked (also, at least here, there is clear scientific evidence of it).

TLDR = Too Long Don't Read It
k so I've been active here since Grush-gate 2023 when people started taking a REAL HARD LOOK at previous UAP footage, evidence.
The NASA scientist panel had been on the previous week. They were trying to end ridicule of any research in the field of UAPs. It was also a sham-filled nothing burger.
THE ONLY REASON WE ENDED UP HERE IS CAUSE WE GOT KICKED OUTTA UFOs ! by the establishment. the regency. the "mods..."
the collective, exhaustive, and morally mandatory reconsideration + reassessment of any and all multimedia, that by simply existing, could induce in the mind of the consumer....questions.
Like questions related to the possibility of the existence of

1. UFO / UAP
2. biologics and / or NHI
3. immaculately efficient technology capable of generating INFINITE ENERGY
4. GOD

Man Wearing Uniform: "Yes - I can acknowledge that the video exists, but I can't comment on it. "
But then, that day, (remember!) on live TV - Three American heros, under oath, looking rather dapper, (not in uniform)
effectively told a panel of people representing their constitutes - the American people -
"you're gonna have to watch all of them - all over again"
decorated heroes. telling us that we had to do it. we were gonna have to go back and watch every single UFO video ever, every alien autopsy film, every russian UFO crash photo.
GruschGate got people talking about these three orbs... again.
The conversation about whether or not these specific videos were "real-or-not" was officially back on the table, and we're still having it right here, right now.
but we were having it before too. remember when....
*~~WAYNE + GARTH DREAM FADE~~*
at the time, the very discourse that this NEW subreddit is now dedicated (relegated?) to, that conversation was entirely too hot for the UFOs sub to handle. and there are... reasons.... we were...
removed....
"You see, Mr.......... Anderssson...."

AirlinerAbduction2014 u/NewFollwer : "What TF is even OP's point? This is already too long and cringeworthy. To heck with this! I'm heading over to highstramgemess!"
Hey, new guy, stick around for a bit longer. I'm almost done. lol.
The point that I want to make is this -
The points - the "exhbits" - the leveraged "proof" - the very same anomalies pointed out by OP, that CROSS RTF OVER THE UNCANNY VALLEY, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, for generations, (literal GENERATIONS of posters - cycle is about 4 months. One of you OG homies back me up here)
We keep coming back to the very same points, over and over again. The way that the plane it's straightened out and accelerated does it for me. But there are a lot of thing that look really, really, real.
Check out how to check it out in 3D if you haven't yet. It will change you perception of the event.
literally.
tiny rant coming up it's juicy - 12/10 O.G O.P.s would agree.
*arms straight out* *fingers laced* *turns palms out - cracks knuckles*
That flying were-rat from India was a fraud. PERIOD.
AirlinerAbduction2014 u/NewFollower: " hey mom what an Indian flying were-rat?" u/NewFollower's Mom: "Honey I thought I told you to go bed. Now get back upstairs read your Foundation Trilogy."
If you know about the rat, I'm sorry you had to go through that.
And if you don't, but wanna, well... you're gonna have to scroll down to the beginning.
Well... more like the middle of the sub's entire feed. Also sorry you're gonna have to go through that.
Indian flying rat boy did good work muddying the waters for a while. that "orb moves the contrail" hype is the trademarked style. rather lazy IMHO..
"Orb Punches Hole Through Cloud" or whatever TF it was called. looked GREAT! But it wasn't real...
Hoaxes look like hoaxes.
The difference here in AirlinerAbduction2014 is that WE ALL HAVE UNRESTRICTED ACCESS to the best possible version of the footage, so we can easily debunk a contrail or a cloud hole.
Okay gang, - we've arrived. Grand Finale -
THIS generation of posters! They carry a sharp sword! It cuts clean! And deep! They read everything - but don't believe everything they read! It's either a very smart or a very dumb tactic.
A message to this generation ~
Stand up for what you believe in Speak your mind but most importantly speak your HEART.
Are the videos real? Did this actually happen?
"you're gonna have to watch all of them - all over again"
new guy here - yeah you - with the shirt and pants on - What does your HEART tell you when you're watching?
Don't they look so real?
Maybe they are.
"you're gonna have to watch all of them - all over again"
"o~oooooh ~ baRa....bara-ko~odA"
"you're going to have to read it all of it all over again"
"he's a Ma~gic man"
*CREDITS FINISH ROLLING* *MUSIC CONTINUES*
Good thing your stayed in your seat.
I think the indian flying were-rat is feeding this trash to 4 orbs, and he's just eating it in front of us like David Hasselhoff lying on his side, shirtless, mouthing a quickly disintegrating Wendy's double-bacon cheeseburger over paper plate on his living room floor. Don't Watch The Video.
This new generation needs to be the The Hoff's daughter , recording the video of her father, scolding him and shaming him for having let himself get this out of control.
So keep up the good work, kids. No gods, no masters, no managers. Only men.
Keep everyone accountable., all the time. or else all this sub will amount to is nothing more than an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers.
