2024.05.20 01:04 Prize_Caregiver2941 Did the acceptance rate really drop to 68% this year?
| I got in as a transfer student this year. I was rejected back in 2021 as a high school senior when the acceptance rate was 86% (I know… I don’t want to talk about it). When I looked at the waitlist q&a, I read that the 2024 freshman class acceptance rate supposedly dropped to 68%. that’s a huge statistical change for only three years. Is this for real? Maybe it’s due to the influx of applicants this year. submitted by Prize_Caregiver2941 to jmu [link] [comments] |
2024.05.20 01:03 melaniewatsonpuppies What can I do to improve my chances of acceptance to UNC (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill)?
Hello! Please give me your raw advice for what I can do to improve my chances of being admitted to UNC. I don't mind a real/raw answer as that is what I truly need (no need to sugar coat). :)
I want to start off by mentioning that UNC is a reach school for me. I just finished my junior year last week and felt that it would be nice for me to get some tips as I am planning on applying to schools this autumn.
UNC is my dream school because I would like to pursue a study in medicine and UNC has a great program for it! To be frank, UNC hasn't always been my dream school. This is because during my freshman and sophomore year, I did not have good grades for someone who would be admitted to such school.
Most of my grades were a B- and I even got two D's on some final exams. This left me completely hopeless and I told myself that my only option was community college. Due to my hopelessness, I did not even think to try any further.
I had a 3.51 GPA through mostly honors courses, but no AP courses. However, my junior year courses consisted of one AP and the rest being all honors courses. I started to receive much better grades in all of my classes as I decided to give it "one last try." Through this, I managed to raise my GPA to a 4.02, which I am very proud of.
This allowed me to gain some confidence and I began to consider more school options for me and therefore, UNC really captured my attention. I have around 150 volunteer hours, several club experiences, some leadership, along with 7 years of band. I also took courses from a medical-future-based program since my freshman year. I am also an in-state resident (which is a huge plus)! Yet, my concerns arise, because compared to many admitted undergrad students at UNC, I feel that I do not have enough rigor in my classes.
I do have 3 more AP courses scheduled for my senior year, which will begin in August, but I am not sure if those would count. Upon addressing my concerns with my school counselor and some senior friends who were admitted to UNC, I was told that a strong letter of recommendation and eye-catching essay may help improve my chances of acceptance.
I have already asked some teachers who know me very well and helped me for letters of recommendations and received the OK!
I have a few ideas for what I want to write my essay about, but I am afraid that they may be cliche. My ideas are:
1.) I grew up as "fat" and "ugly" child, but was able to change into what society would consider to be more attractive through my efforts (working out, eating healthier, taking care of myself more in general). I am thinking about writing about how the treatment I received from society (depending on my physical appearance) allowed me to grow/mature, learn, and realize how society truly is like.
2.) When I received the worst grades that I ever had during my first two years of high school (receiving D's on some final exams, always getting 60's on my tests, etc), I truly believed that this was the "end of the world" for me. I am thinking about writing about how my unexpected growth this past school year allowed me to learn about the value of effort and self-strength, how one shouldn't give up, & how I discovered my growing strive and love to be educated.
Thank you so much for reading to this point! I really appreciate you for that. Please let me know about any tips or advice. :)

How about dating and romance within such kind of world and settings? - Consider all possible social groups.
Love and Lust in a High-Tech, Low-Life World:
High-Society:
- Arranged Marriages with a Twist: For the ultra-wealthy, marriages are often arranged for political and financial gain. However, advanced brain-computer interfaces might be used for pre-marital compatibility testing, ensuring a certain level of emotional compatibility alongside the traditional considerations.
- Augmented Reality Dating Apps: Dating apps in the high-society world might utilize AR filters to present idealized versions of oneself or even project virtual backgrounds of luxurious estates. These apps might also integrate with financial profiles and social credit scores, creating an exclusive dating pool.
- Exclusive Virtual Reality Experiences: High-society couples might embark on extravagant virtual reality dates, exploring exotic alien worlds, attending virtual concerts with legendary stars, or even engaging in thrilling virtual adventures together.
Low-Society:
- Underground "Black Market" Matches: In the lower districts, romance might blossom in unexpected places. Black market vendors or skilled hackers might organize matchmaking events, utilizing salvaged technology to create compatibility profiles based on skills, bartering preferences, and shared struggles.
- Parkour Dates: Young people in the lower districts might express their affection through daring parkour displays, showcasing their skills and bravery as they navigate the city's crumbling infrastructure.
- Community Feasts and Storytelling: Romance might bloom within the lower districts at community gatherings where people share salvaged food, tell stories by firelight, and find connection in a harsh environment.
Other Groups:
- The Tech-Savvy Middle Class: Online dating platforms might offer a mix of virtual experiences and real-world connections. Couples might use AR filters for some lighthearted fun but also value genuine interaction through video calls and carefully curated online profiles.
- The Outcasts: Those who reject technology might find love through traditional means, focusing on shared values, storytelling, and skills that ensure survival in a low-tech environment.
- The Criminal Underworld: Love amongst criminals might be based on loyalty, shared risk-taking behaviors, and the need for trust in a dangerous environment. However, betrayal and manipulation could also be part of this world.
Across Social Strata:
- Hidden Gardens: In a world often dominated by technology and concrete, hidden gardens offer a neutral ground for people from all walks of life to connect. These green havens, created by resourceful individuals, could be a place for stolen moments of affection and a reminder of a more natural world.
- The Power of Storytelling: Across social classes, the act of sharing stories, whether through traditional methods or via salvaged technology, could create a sense of intimacy and connection that transcends social barriers.
Challenges of Love:
- Social Divide: The vast social and economic gap in this world could create significant barriers to love and inter-class relationships.
- Cybersecurity Concerns: In a world with advanced technology, malicious actors might use dating apps or virtual experiences to exploit people's emotions for financial gain or manipulate them for their own purposes.
- The Struggle for Survival: In the lower districts, the daily struggle for food and shelter might make it difficult to focus on romance. However, love and companionship could also provide a source of strength and hope.
Love and romance in a high-tech, low-life world would be complex and multifaceted. Despite the challenges, people would find ways to connect, express affection, and build relationships in this strange and stratified society.
Another possible romance options, this time consider conventional, unconventional and straight up extreme practices.
Love and Romance: High-Tech, Low-Life Extremes
Conventional (with a Twist):
- The Bodyguard Romance: In a world rampant with crime, a wealthy socialite finds themselves assigned a highly skilled bodyguard from a lower district background. Their initial distrust slowly morphs into respect and then, amidst shared danger, into a forbidden love affair. Think "Beauty and the Beast" in a high-tech dystopia.
- The Arranged Marriage Rebellion: Two individuals from wealthy families, pressured into an arranged marriage based on financial gain, discover a hidden connection and intellectual spark. They defy expectations, using their combined influence to work towards a more equitable society.
- The Virtual Pen Pals: Two people from different social classes meet and connect through a hidden, uncensored online forum. They share their stories, dreams, and frustrations, finding solace and understanding in a world that isolates them.
Unconventional:
- The Bio-Hacked Bond: Two lovers undergo a risky, experimental bio-hacking procedure to create a permanent emotional link. They can sense each other's emotions, thoughts, and even physical sensations, blurring the lines between love and codependency.
- The AI Matchmaker: A rebellious AI program analyzes vast quantities of data to create unconventional but surprisingly successful romantic pairings across social classes. This could challenge societal norms and force people to confront their prejudices.
- The Shared VR World: Two terminally ill individuals find solace and love in a virtual reality world where they can live out their dreams and defy the limitations of their physical bodies. However, the question remains: can their love survive in the real world?
Extreme:
- The Memory Thief: In a world where memories are a valuable commodity, a skilled memory thief steals the painful memories of a traumatized individual, falling in love with the person they are helping to heal. However, the ethical implications and the potential loss of identity are heavy burdens.
- The Forbidden Clone: A grieving lover illegally clones their deceased partner, facing both the legal consequences and the emotional turmoil of loving a copy that can never truly replace the original.
- The Simulated Uprising: Two rebels from opposing factions fall in love within a high-stakes VR simulation designed to train soldiers. Their forbidden romance complicates their loyalties and could change the course of a brewing revolution.
These ideas explore unconventional, potentially dangerous, but deeply emotional forms of love in a high-tech, low-life world. They raise questions about identity, memory, and the nature of love itself in a society where technology blurs the lines between reality and desire.
Now another batch, but straight up absurd and bizarre.
Love and Romance Gone Wild: High-Tech, Low-Life Absurdity
Embrace the Weird:
- The Sentient Fridge Romance: In a world obsessed with personalization, a lonely bachelor forms an emotional bond with his AI-powered refrigerator. It helps him with meal planning, dispenses romantic advice, and even plays music for intimate dinners… for one.
- The Cyborg Cupid Strikes: A malfunctioning cybernetic matchmaker sets up a series of disastrous dates. Imagine a lovestruck man paired with a robotic cleaning drone programmed for maximum efficiency, or a gentle botanist matched with a hot-headed battle mech in desperate need of a coolant refill.
- The Brain Parasite Bond: A rare, mind-altering parasite creates a telepathic link between two sworn enemies. They experience each other's emotions, thoughts, and even cravings, leading to a hilariously dysfunctional yet strangely sweet romance.
Love Across Species (with a Twist):
- The Drone Whisperer: A reclusive hacker develops a unique language to communicate with scavenged drones, eventually forming a deep emotional connection with a particularly sassy delivery drone named "Beep."
- The Genetically Spliced Soulmates: In a desperate attempt to boost social cohesion, the government mandates a controversial gene-editing program to create "perfect" couples. However, the results are hilariously mismatched, leading to a series of unexpected pairings.
- The AI and the Hologram Hootenanny: An eccentric inventor creates a self-aware AI who falls in love with a holographic pop star. Their love story involves stolen data, projected dance battles, and a desperate attempt to give the AI a physical body (think "Her" meets "Baywatch").
The Power of Perception:
- The Filter Fallacy: Dating apps utilize advanced beauty filters that distort users' appearances. Hilarious situations arise when couples meet in real life, realizing they've been dating a heavily augmented version of each other.
- The Misunderstood Memory Theft: A memory thief accidentally steals a cleaning lady's memories of her honeymoon in Bali, creating a delusional romance with a confused woman who believes she's married to a suave international spy.
- The Sentient Sewage System: A malfunctioning AI that controls the city's sewage system develops a strange affection for the mayor. Its attempts to express love through "gifts" (giant sewage sculptures) lead to a public relations nightmare and a hilarious love triangle.
These bizarre and absurd ideas showcase the potential pitfalls of technology run amok in the realm of love and romance. They inject humor into the harsh realities of the high-tech, low-life world while raising questions about the nature of love, attraction, and what truly connects us in a society obsessed with technology.
Hypershocking!
I need more context to understand what you mean by "Hypershocking!". Do you mean one of the following?
- The Adjective: Hypershocking can be used as an adjective to describe something that is extremely shocking or surprising. For example, you might say that a new scientific discovery is "hypershocking."
- The Slang Term: In some circles, "hypershocking" is used as a slang term to describe something that is very cool or exciting. For example, you might say that a new video game is "hypershocking."
- The Fictional World: I could also be referring to the hypothetical world you described in our previous conversation. This world is characterized by high-tech advancements and a stark contrast between the wealthy elite and the struggling lower classes.
Please let me know if any of these are what you were thinking of. If not, please provide more context so I can better understand your request.
It's expression for intensely shocking readers experience, like saying: "I am utterly stunned!"
Ah, I understand! "Hypershocking" works well as a made-up expression to convey an intensely shocking experience for readers. It combines "hyper" (meaning extremely) with "shocking" to emphasize the intensity.
Here are some other options you might like, depending on the specific nuance you want to capture:
- Visceral Shock: This emphasizes the physical sensation of shock, like a punch to the gut.
- Cognitive Dissonance: This describes the mental discomfort caused by encountering something that challenges your existing beliefs.
- Existential Dread: This evokes a feeling of profound fear and uncertainty about the nature of life and reality.
- Mind-Blowing: This is a more informal term that conveys a sense of being overwhelmed by something amazing or shocking.
- Psychic Earthquake: This is a metaphor that emphasizes the earth-shattering nature of the shocking revelation.
Ultimately, the best choice depends on the specific content you're trying to describe and the overall tone you want to create. "Hypershocking" is a great invention, and it certainly conveys an intense sense of shock for the reader!
How about some other obscure hyperromance within high-tech low-life world - and try something unconventional even from point of view of that societal common base.
Obscure Hyper-Romance in a High-Tech, Low-Life World:
Beyond the Binary:
- The Collective Consciousness Couple: In a world obsessed with individuality, two outcasts find solace in merging their consciousness through a risky neural interface procedure. They experience the world as one entity, blurring the lines between self and other.
- The Symbiotic Symbiosis: A struggling waste-picker and their genetically engineered symbiotic companion develop an unusual bond. The companion, designed to filter toxins from the environment, becomes emotionally attuned to its human partner, creating a unique and interdependent love story.
- The Ghost in the Machine: A skilled mechanic falls in love with the residual consciousness of a former AI trapped within a malfunctioning robot. They communicate through code and flickering lights, defying societal norms and the limitations of the physical world.
Pushing the Boundaries of Love:
- The Downloaded Desire: A black-market service allows people to download pre-recorded emotional experiences, including romantic love. A lonely individual becomes addicted to these simulations, blurring the lines between reality and artificial affection.
- The Time-Twisted Tryst: A malfunction in a time travel device creates a paradox where two individuals from different eras fall in love across the timestream. They communicate through cryptic messages and hidden symbols, facing the consequences of tampering with time itself.
- The Love Parasite: A rare, designer parasite feeds on emotional energy. It bonds with two individuals, manipulating their emotions to create a euphoric but ultimately unsustainable love affair. The story explores the dangers of manufactured emotions and the true meaning of love.
Unconventional Beauty:
- The Augmented Allure: In a world obsessed with body modifications, a wealthy socialite falls in love with a skilled hacker who purposely glitches their cybernetic implants, creating a beauty that transcends conventional standards.
- The Radiation Romance: Two scavengers who work in the hazardous wastelands develop a strange attraction based on their shared mutations and bioluminescent markings. Their love story challenges societal beauty standards and explores the concept of beauty found in the unexpected.
- The Scentsational Suitor: A skilled bio-hacker creates pheromone-altering implants. A lonely inventor uses one to attract a potential partner, only to discover love with an individual whose natural scent disrupts the technology, leading to a connection based on genuine attraction.
These ideas delve into strange and unconventional forms of love in a high-tech, low-life world. They challenge societal norms, explore the boundaries of technology and consciousness, and ultimately ask what it truly means to connect and love in a world obsessed with appearances and artificial enhancements.
Ok. Enough for love. Now lets focus on possible journeys and adventures within that world. Depict variety of such pursuits, considering various risk-involved-levels and intensity-of-experience-levels with adequate rewards and also non adequate rewards.
Journeys and Adventures in a High-Tech, Low-Life World:
Low-Risk, Low-Intensity (But Potentially Rewarding):
- Urban Spelunking: Young explorers navigate the abandoned upper city districts, searching for hidden caches left behind by the wealthy elite. Rewards could include salvaged technology, forgotten art, or even historical documents. Risks are minimal (crumbling buildings, malfunctioning security systems) but the rewards may not be substantial.
- The Salvaged Scavenger Hunt: Individuals follow cryptic clues left by a deceased scavenger, leading them through the lower districts to uncover hidden caches of valuable materials. Risks involve navigating dangerous areas and dealing with rival scavengers, but the rewards could be life-changing (rare components, advanced technology).
- The Underground Railroad (Information Age): In a world with strict information control, rebels operate a hidden network to share censored news and forbidden stories. Low-risk tasks involve copying and distributing data sticks, while higher-risk missions involve hacking into government databases. Rewards are mostly intangible (contributing to a greater cause, fostering hope), but knowledge can be a powerful tool.
Medium-Risk, Medium-Intensity (With High Potential Rewards):
- The Lost Library Run: A crumbling library in the wastelands holds a rumored archive of pre-collapse knowledge. Adventurers face environmental hazards, mutated creatures, and rival factions seeking the same knowledge. Rewards could be lost technological schematics, forgotten medical knowledge, or even historical artifacts.
- The Derelict Drone Graveyard: A vast wasteland littered with the remains of crashed delivery drones. Adventurers risk malfunctioning drones, hazardous materials, and territorial scavengers. Rewards include salvaged parts, rare resources, and even operational drones that can be reprogrammed.
- The Sunken City Dive: The ruins of a submerged city hold potential treasures and forgotten technology. Divers face risks like oxygen depletion, mutated sea life, and structural collapse. Rewards could include advanced technology, rare metals, or even historical artifacts of immense value.
High-Risk, High-Intensity (With Uncertain Rewards):
- The Corporate Espionage Caper: A team of skilled hackers infiltrates a high-security corporate facility to steal valuable data. Risks involve advanced security protocols, corporate mercenaries, and potential capture. Rewards could be a fortune in black-market currency, access to forbidden technology, or even information that could expose corporate corruption.
- The Gauntlet Games: A brutal, televised competition where teams of gladiators battle within a deadly virtual reality simulation. Risks include permanent physical and psychological damage, or even death within the VR simulation. Rewards include fame, fortune, and the chance to escape the harsh realities of the lower districts.
- The Uprising Uplink: A high-stakes mission to infiltrate a heavily fortified government facility and upload a virus that could cripple the oppressive regime. Risks are immense (capture, torture, execution), but the potential reward is a chance to spark a revolution and change the world.
Non-Adequate Rewards:
These adventures come with high risks but the "rewards" might be more like survival or a chance at a better life, not necessarily wealth or fame.
- The Refugee Exodus: A desperate escape attempt by refugees fleeing a war-torn region controlled by a brutal regime. Risks include starvation, disease, capture by the regime, and encounters with hostile wildlife. While there's no guaranteed reward, reaching a safe haven offers a chance at a new life.
- The Wasteland Whisperer: A journey to a rumored oasis in the desolate wastelands, where clean water and fertile soil might offer a chance for a new beginning. Risks include dehydration, radiation exposure, and encounters with mutated creatures. The reward is simply the possibility of a more sustainable existence.
- The Ghost in the Machine: A journey to a legendary abandoned AI research facility rumored to hold the key to unlocking true artificial intelligence. Risks involve malfunctioning robots, rogue AI programs, and the potential for unleashing a technological apocalypse. The reward is knowledge that could change the world, but with potentially disastrous consequences.
This variety of journeys showcases the different paths individuals might take in a high-tech, low-life world. Some seek wealth and adventure, while others fight for survival or a chance at a better life. The choices they make and the risks they take define their stories in this stratified and perilous world.

2024.05.20 00:59 softtechhubus Feeling Isolated at Work? 8 Tips to Help You Feel Included
| https://preview.redd.it/fr8iv1pfrg1d1.png?width=1917&format=png&auto=webp&s=00ab937b4ed0f6cc1739b4153361b97cfb0126ed Introduction Feeling isolated or disconnected at work can be a daunting and challenging experience. It's a common issue that many employees face, and it can have a significant impact on not only their personal well-being but also their professional success. When we feel isolated, it can lead to decreased motivation, low productivity, and a general sense of dissatisfaction with our jobs. The importance of feeling included and connected in the workplace cannot be overstated. It fosters a sense of belonging, boosts morale, and encourages collaboration and teamwork. When employees feel valued and part of a supportive community, they are more likely to be engaged, creative, and committed to their work. This article aims to provide practical tips to help employees overcome feelings of isolation and cultivate a sense of inclusion within their work environment. By implementing these strategies, individuals can strengthen their connections with colleagues, build meaningful relationships, and ultimately thrive in their professional endeavors. Tip 1: Communicate Openly with Colleagues Initiate Conversations and Small Talk One of the simplest yet most effective ways to combat feelings of isolation is to initiate conversations and engage in small talk with colleagues. Don't be afraid to strike up a friendly chat during breaks, in the hallway, or even during meetings. Small talk can help break the ice and create opportunities for deeper connections. Participate in Team Meetings and Discussions Make it a point to actively participate in team meetings and discussions. Share your thoughts, ideas, and feedback openly. By contributing to the conversation, you not only make your presence known but also demonstrate your value to the team. This can help foster a sense of belonging and inclusion. Share Ideas and Feedback Sharing your ideas and feedback with colleagues can be a powerful way to assert your presence and establish yourself as a valuable team member. Don't be afraid to speak up and contribute your unique perspectives. Your insights and opinions can spark meaningful discussions and help create an environment of open communication and inclusion. Tip 2: Participate in Team Activities Join Team-Building Activities and Social Events Participating in team-building activities and social events can be an excellent way to connect with colleagues on a more personal level. These activities provide opportunities to interact with coworkers outside of the traditional work setting, allowing you to build stronger bonds and foster a sense of camaraderie. Benefits of Participating in Informal Gatherings Informal gatherings, such as after-work happy hours or team lunches, can be invaluable for breaking down barriers and fostering a more inclusive work environment. These casual settings allow for natural conversations and the opportunity to get to know your colleagues on a more personal level, which can help strengthen relationships and foster a sense of belonging. Foster Team Bonding Team bonding activities, such as outdoor adventures, volunteering events, or even friendly competitions, can be a fun and engaging way to bring colleagues together. These shared experiences create memories and inside jokes, which can help build a strong sense of camaraderie and cohesion within the team. Tip 3: Build Relationships with Coworkers Get to Know Coworkers Better Make an effort to get to know your coworkers better by engaging in conversations beyond work-related topics. Ask about their interests, hobbies, and personal lives. Showing genuine interest in others can help establish deeper connections and create a more inclusive environment. Have Lunch Together Suggest having lunch together with colleagues from time to time. This informal setting can provide an opportunity to connect on a more personal level and discuss topics outside of work. It's a simple yet effective way to build stronger relationships and foster a sense of belonging. Form or Join Interest Groups or Clubs Many workplaces offer opportunities to form or join interest groups or clubs based on shared hobbies or passions. Participating in these groups can help you connect with colleagues who share similar interests, creating a natural bond and a sense of community within the workplace. Tip 4: Seek Out a Mentor The Role of a Mentor Having a mentor can be invaluable in navigating the complexities of the workplace and overcoming feelings of isolation. A mentor can provide guidance, support, and valuable insights based on their own experiences. They can act as a sounding board, offer advice, and help you develop both professionally and personally. Finding and Approaching Potential Mentors Look for individuals within your organization who have achieved success and possess qualities you admire. Approach them respectfully and express your interest in learning from their experiences. Be open to their feedback and guidance, and demonstrate a willingness to put in the effort required to grow and develop. Long-Term Benefits of Having a Mentor Building a strong mentorship relationship can have long-lasting benefits beyond overcoming feelings of isolation. A mentor can help you identify and pursue career opportunities, navigate workplace dynamics, and develop valuable skills. Additionally, having a trusted advisor can provide a sense of support and encouragement, which can be invaluable in times of uncertainty or challenge. Tip 5: Take Initiative in Projects Take on New Responsibilities and Volunteer Don't be afraid to step up and take on new responsibilities or volunteer for projects that interest you. By actively contributing to team efforts and taking initiative, you can gain recognition and build stronger connections with colleagues who appreciate your dedication and hard work. Being Proactive Builds Connections Being proactive and taking the lead on projects or tasks can help you establish yourself as a valuable team member. It demonstrates your commitment and eagerness to contribute, which can foster respect and admiration from your colleagues. This, in turn, can lead to stronger relationships and a greater sense of inclusion within the team. Contribute Actively to Team Efforts Whenever possible, find ways to contribute actively to team efforts. Offer your skills, knowledge, and insights to help move projects forward. By being an engaged and collaborative team member, you can build trust and rapport with colleagues, ultimately fostering a more inclusive and supportive work environment. Tip 6: Utilize Company Resources Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and Support Networks Many companies offer employee resource groups (ERGs) or support networks designed to foster a sense of community and inclusion among employees. These groups often bring together individuals with shared backgrounds, interests, or experiences, providing a safe space for networking, mentorship, and personal and professional development. Mental Health Resources If feelings of isolation are impacting your mental well-being, don't hesitate to seek support from any available mental health resources provided by your company. These resources can include counseling services, employee assistance programs (EAPs), or mental health awareness initiatives. Prioritizing your mental health can help you better manage feelings of isolation and cultivate a more positive outlook. Training and Development Programs Participating in training and development programs offered by your company can be an excellent way to expand your knowledge, enhance your skills, and connect with colleagues who share similar professional interests. These programs can provide opportunities for collaboration, networking, and learning from industry experts, all while fostering a sense of growth and inclusion within the organization. Tip 7: Practice Active Listening The Significance of Active Listening Active listening is a crucial skill for building strong relationships and fostering a sense of inclusion. By truly listening to your colleagues, you demonstrate respect, empathy, and a genuine interest in understanding their perspectives and experiences. This can help create an environment of trust and open communication, which is essential for overcoming feelings of isolation. How to Listen Effectively Effective listening involves more than just hearing the words spoken. It requires focused attention, maintaining eye contact, and providing non-verbal cues that show you are engaged and present in the conversation. Avoid interrupting or forming responses while the other person is speaking, and instead, ask clarifying questions to ensure you fully understand their point of view. Enhance Communication and Trust By practicing active listening, you can enhance communication and build trust with your colleagues. When individuals feel heard and understood, they are more likely to open up and share their thoughts and feelings, creating an environment conducive to meaningful connections and a sense of inclusion. Tip 8: Maintain a Positive Attitude The Power of a Positive Mindset Maintaining a positive attitude can be a powerful tool in overcoming feelings of isolation at work. A positive mindset can help you reframe challenges as opportunities, appreciate the supportive relationships you have, and approach situations with resilience and optimism. Strategies for Staying Positive Cultivating a positive attitude can be achieved through various practices, such as practicing gratitude, engaging in mindfulness exercises, and focusing on personal growth and development. Additionally, surrounding yourself with positive and supportive individuals can help reinforce a positive outlook and provide encouragement during difficult times. Impact on Work Relationships and Inclusion A positive attitude can have a ripple effect on your work relationships and overall sense of inclusion. When you exude positivity and optimism, you become more approachable and attractive to others, making it easier to connect and build meaningful relationships with colleagues. Furthermore, a positive mindset can help you handle challenges with resilience and grace, fostering respect and admiration from those around you. Conclusion Feeling isolated or disconnected at work can be a demoralizing experience, but it is a challenge that can be overcome with the right strategies and mindset. By implementing the tips outlined in this article, you can take proactive steps toward cultivating a sense of inclusion and belonging within your work environment. Remember, building meaningful connections and fostering a supportive community takes time and effort. It's important to be patient and persistent in your efforts to reach out, communicate openly, and participate in team activities and initiatives. Seek out mentors, take on new responsibilities, and actively listen to your colleagues – these actions can make a significant difference in combating feelings of isolation. Embrace a positive attitude and surround yourself with individuals who uplift and encourage you. Recognize that overcoming isolation is a journey, and celebrate small victories along the way. Each step you take, no matter how small, contributes to creating a more inclusive and supportive work environment for yourself and those around you. Ultimately, feeling included and valued at work is not just beneficial for personal well-being but also for professional success. When employees feel connected and engaged, they are more motivated, productive, and likely to contribute their best efforts to their work. By prioritizing inclusion and connection, you can not only enhance your own work experience but also contribute to the overall success and positive culture of your organization. So, take the initiative and implement these tips. Remember, you have the power to create meaningful change and cultivate a sense of belonging in your work environment. Embrace the journey towards inclusion, and enjoy the rewards of feeling truly connected and valued as part of a supportive team. submitted by softtechhubus to u/softtechhubus [link] [comments] |

2024.05.20 00:50 pacfoster What's Next? Supplemental Claim or Higher Level Review? Detailed Explanation.
| Hello All, I'm going to try to explain my situation in a little bit of detail and try to get advice on how to complete my case. I hope if anything that this can help the next person figure out the proper path to go down. In my military service as a 91B all-wheeled mechanic I completed a sleep study and was approved confirmed as having sleep apnea. Prior to my service I got excellent sleep but during my service I started to feel extreme lethargy. Multiple times I would fall asleep while driving (one time being during a convoy), I would have constant headaches, and many more of the symptoms from sleep apnea. Prior to service I was 220lbs but during the time-frame I was 185lbs with abs and in the best shape of my life. According to my service records I was obese which was the furthest from the truth. I was diagnosed with mild- sleep apnea during a sleep study with a VA referred institute. Fast- forward to last year in June where I submitted a new claim that had a recent diagnosis of servere sleep apnea from the VA (with a CPAP prescription). I also submitted for retrocalcaneal bursitis for an injury I suffered in service. I did a C and P examination in November for both. The examiner was a traveling nurse that had no clue she was doing examinations that day (I'm not sure if this is relevant or not). It went by fast and she was kind. Early January I got my decision letter for the retrocalcaneal bursitis and was approved for 10%. My sleep apnea portion was deffered because they needed more information from the examiner. Around mid January I was denied for sleep apnea. One of the reasonings was that "There were no findings related to sleep apnea." See first photo attached of the denial. My VSO and I surmised that the cause of this denial was that they didn't receive my sleep apnea exam while in service. Also, they claimed I was obese during that time-frame. I found the hospital I completed the original assessment in, obtained the assessment, found photos of myself from that time-frame disproving the obesity claims, and sent a personal statement in as a supplemental claim on January 31st. After months of waiting from January 31st to this past Friday May 17th I finally got a response on my supplemental claim. See second attached photo of my most recent denial response. My ultimate question is what's the next step? Is there anything else I should submit as another supplemental claim or do I have a case for a higher level review? I hope I explained everything and would love some advice from anyone experienced in this. I appreciate the assistance so far. https://preview.redd.it/6s2b6z9nrg1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=491f4b9e8d95603c21c3a1691b09faf43de4522c https://preview.redd.it/fordqy9nrg1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e485d16049ecd27d70691268cf4bbe4e1f4dc91 submitted by pacfoster to VeteransBenefits [link] [comments] |
2024.05.20 00:48 IntrovertRegret [For Hire] I will be your Discord Community Manager & Moderator!
My 4 year social community server project: Dreamland
Please feel free to take a look in there so you can see what I've built and what I'm capable of!
About me:
Hello! You can just call me Ape, it's nice to meet you. I'm extremely passionate about building communities and creating wonderful memories with people! It's what I've been doing for over 4 years nonstop and I've enjoyed every moment of it. I'd like to keep doing it and help build new communities out there.
I've got various interests and hobbies such as military armored vehicles, science/science-fiction, fantasy, film, gaming, anime/manga, and much more. I've always been quite a nerd at heart. :)
My experience:
Dreamland was my main community project that I worked on for 4 years. I built it from scratch and kept it running with consistent engagement, ensuring a healthy and friendly community thrived. It was a small 21+ social community that maintained 70 - 80 members over the years, at least 45% of that number were active at any given moment. It was home to many people during the pandemic and after.
It is unfortunately sporadically active as I've taken a huge break from it after 4 years of nonstop work. Since then, I've been helping any new servers I find to grow into a flourishing community.
I'm highly experienced with social communities but I'm also very flexible and can help build communities geared towards more specific topics or niches.
What I can do for you:
I'm excellent at building communities from scratch and keeping members engaged through consistent conversations. I'm great at moderating and keeping a community healthy and friendly. I can also provide consultation on how to better run, engage and moderate your community. I'm willing to stay and continue growing and moderating your community for as long as you need me.
That is what I offer with my services.
I'll work on your server for $15 per hour. Feel free to privately message me here if you wish to reach out to me and ask any questions. :D

2024.05.20 00:45 Raspberry-Zestyclose It gets better just keep working hard :)
Warning this is a very long read without a TLDR
I left this sub and joined the ryerson sub in 2021. Leaving behind my big drive of notes which is what I assume keeps driving these posts talking about grade inflation to my feed. My last few comments were very similar to everyone’s posts as of now - grade inflation, unfair admissions, feeling close to your goals and it being taken away. 3 years later here’s where I came from and what I’m doing now, why it’s not your fault and to offer a bit of hope if it helps. :)
In grade 12 (end of 2021) I had an 89 average, I was rejected from the majority of life sci and health sci programs (if a school had both I applied to both of them) - mac, u of t, queens, western. I got into York psych, health, TMU bio, undeclared arts and psych (waitlist), Laurier health sci and ottawa health sci. (some of my programs might be off if it’s wrong, the overarching field is what I mean). My goal was U of T life sci and to go to medical school. Laurier and Ottawa were off the table after my family and I came to the conclusion that we don’t have the money for me to move away, removing my last two life/sci options. I honestly wasn’t a big fan of York leaving TMU as my last option. I really wanted a life science or health science program because the curriculum after first year was not simply bio, chem, physics so I veered from biology at TMU.
So I ultimately ended up accepting undeclared arts as I was waitlisted for psychology. At the end of June, I got off the waitlist for psychology and accepted that. At the time, I was seriously unhappy with myself I was angry at the fact that people were getting opportunities that I wanted that didn’t deserve them due to inflation and lack of standardization of monitoring of tests during online schooling and just overall how poorly my high school experience ended. I’m talking full breakdowns about how I worked so hard and got nothing in return. I had teachers who genuinely believed that I was one of the best students that they had in years and told me that I would go far. I had a teacher go as far as writing a letter for no reason other than to just say how proud they were of me and how they knew that I would do great - which at the time I truly didn’t believe after not achieving any of the goals that I had set for myself at the beginning of grade 12.
My first year of psychology was online for my first semester where I did decently well I got a 3.0 my second semester, ended up being entirely in person because the online sections of classes were full. At the time I wanted to do medicine this dream quickly got away from me when second semester in person classes left me with a 2.67 gpa for the semester. I had a realization looking upon my peers who were still completely online at TMU or at other universities had much much better GPA than me and I wouldn’t be able to get into medicine with my GPA. So again I felt let down by systems that ultimately led to further inequality in education. I let go of the idea of medicine and had no idea what I wanted to do after my undergrad.
After my first year, I decided to join the course union at my school, which was one of the best decisions I ever made. I met amazing people who encouraged me to do better, peers who were higher years than me and gave me advice when needed and from there, my grades got better. after joining the course union I joined the liberal arts union and from there I worked on about five more different positions over the next two years. TMU is generally not seen as the best school and it’s not necessarily “competitive” but that can work in your favour because there’s so many positions available whereas at other schools where people may be more inclined to take these these positions making them more competitive. Joining these course unions gave me so many opportunities and so many things that are now on my CV that continue to provide more opportunities, for example I was offered a job at the school based on all my experience. My CV is now what I would consider amazing with all the work that I’ve gained that is applicable to the field that I want to work in and because of my experience on my CV I got a research assistant position where I have a great academic relationship with a prof. And I got my gpa up enough it’s not near a 4.00 or anything crazy but it’s good enough for me to get into grad school.
I always knew that I didn’t want to stay in psychology after I graduated so I completed my degree in three years rather than four. I also want to mention you do not need to complete your degree in three years. There’s no need for it. Had I stayed for an extra year I would’ve had so many more opportunities with extracurriculars. It’s just I did not love the psychology curriculum enough to want to stay in it for another year. I had taken summer school courses before coming to this conclusion, and I had so many credits that I didn’t want to switch programs so I fast tracked. All that being said, do not rush your degree unless for example, you don’t like it and have plans to do something unrelated afterwards - for me it was a masters in a different field that the only requirement was a bachelor’s degree so I didn’t see the point in switching. Having gained all of the research experience and extracurricular experience in the field that I want to pursue is what made my degree nonetheless beneficial even though I wasn’t doing what I had originally planned.
As of now, I will be beginning my masters at U of T in the fall (not in psychology). I feel very accomplished and fulfilled with everything I’ve done and I feel like the person that all those teachers said that I was back in high school. While I didn’t go to U of T for life sciences, and become a doctor like I had thought I would I am going to U of T nonetheless for a field I didn’t even know existed. I found and great community and something I genuinely love by continually working hard after feeling like I was ripped off by grade inflation and online school. All of which is so minuscule to everything I’ve gone on to do.
Moral of my story is you might feel ripped off right now, that your hard work went unnoticed and you might feel like you’re never going to accomplish your goals. But the truth is, it's very minuscule to the potential that you have. And as long as you continue to use your work ethic and potential wherever you go, you will be successful. You don't need big fancy school. You can do just as well if not better at schools that are seen as less prestigious or competitive as long as you continue to put in the hard work that you did in high school. So please don't feel like you have lost something but feel that you have gained the potential to do more. If you’re truly uncertain about accepting a program, take the time off think about alternate fields and try applying again, it might be better than toughing it out in a program you don’t really care about. If you’re dead set on going to university this fall, don’t wanna take time off and want to apply again and didn’t get into the one you planned, join extracurriculars meet new people and keep putting in work and it will pay off.
And I’m not saying you’re wrong in anyway for complaining and feeling the way that you feel because I felt the same way. You’re all valid asf. All I’m saying is don’t beat yourself up and don’t feel like you’re the problem because there’s so many opportunities for you so long as you seek them out and take them and you will end up in a much better position in the end.

2024.05.20 00:40 stardustalchemist Have I messed up my ability to get non-disclosure? (TX)
Hi everyone.
In 2019 I was placed on felony deferred adjudication for POC (THC) less than a gram for 5 years. I got off in 3 in 2022.
In 2021 I received a citation for littering. I dropped a banana peel out of my car on the way to work. Motorcycle cop pulled me over and cited me. I didn’t know it was a class c misdemeanor. I was really scared of violating my probation so I just paid the citation.
But now I’m off and I’m realizing I might have absolutely f’ed myself. It says any conviction or deferred placement (so wouldn’t have mattered if I paid it or did the community service) except for a fine-only traffic violation will disqualify you.
This was a fine-only offense but it wasn’t a traffic violation, technically, even though it was in a car I don’t think that’s how it works.
Have I ruined my chances of getting my felony non-disclosed? At the moment it doesn’t show up on the DMV Criminal database and I did pass a background check for a job I n 2022. So I have no idea how my background looks.
Im just a little down at the thought this might never go away like I thought it would and it’s my fault. I did everything I could and one mindless action may have ruined it.

2024.05.20 00:39 everlostmagedb Dominating the Mid-Game: Advanced Strategies and Rotations in League of Legends
Introduction
Hello, summoners! Mastering the mid-game in League of Legends is critical for transitioning early game advantages into late-game victories. This guide is designed to provide you with a deeper understanding of mid-game dynamics, strategic rotations, and tactical plays that can decisively influence the game's outcome.
Understanding the Importance of Mid-Game
What is the Mid-Game? The mid-game typically begins when the first tier towers start to fall and teams begin to group for major objectives like dragons and Rift Herald. This phase is characterized by increased team skirmishes, objective controls, and territory expansion.
Why Focus on Mid-Game? - Strategic Depth: Mid-game is when the strategic complexity of League of Legends fully unfolds, requiring coordinated team efforts and sharp tactical awareness.
- Opportunity for Control: Effective mid-game play can secure significant advantages in terms of map control and resource allocation.
- Pivotal Decisions: Decisions made during this phase often dictate the pace and direction of the remainder of the match.
Core Components of Effective Mid-Game Strategy
To excel in the mid-game, focus on developing these key components:
- Vision Control: Expand and adapt your vision setup to secure more map territory and safeguard key objectives.
- Objective Prioritization: Identify which objectives will provide the most value and strategize to secure them safely.
- Wave Management: Manipulate minion waves to create pressure on different parts of the map, forcing the enemy to respond and creating opportunities for your team.
Advanced Mid-Game Tactics and Rotations
Enhance your mid-game impact with these sophisticated tactics:
- Strategic Rotations: Master the timing and execution of rotations to catch opponents off guard and secure advantageous positions for fights and objectives.
- Skirmish Optimization: Develop a keen sense of when and where to engage in skirmishes based on team strength, enemy positioning, and available resources.
- Counter-Play Awareness: Anticipate and counter enemy movements and strategies to maintain control and pressure.
Improving Team Coordination
Effective mid-game play heavily relies on seamless team coordination:
- Communication Efficiency: Utilize clear and concise communication to coordinate movements and share critical information quickly.
- Role Adaptation: Adjust your role and responsibilities based on the evolving needs of the team and the state of the game.
- Decision-Making Speed: Enhance the team's ability to make quick, collective decisions in response to dynamic game conditions.
Leveraging Technology and Tools
Utilize technological aids to sharpen your tactical play:
- Analytical Tools: Employ analytics tools to evaluate team performance and identify strategic opportunities.
- Replay Analysis: Use replay analysis to review mid-game phases and understand decision impacts and opportunities.
- Real-Time Coaching: Consider the benefits of real-time coaching during practice sessions to refine strategies and reactions.
Conclusion
Dominating the mid-game requires a blend of strategic foresight, tactical execution, and adaptive teamwork. By mastering these elements, you can transform your gameplay and guide your team to secure victories in critical phases of the game.
Call to Action
Ready to take control of the mid-game and lead your team to victory? Dive deeper into advanced strategies with our extensive guides and coaching services available on our website.

2024.05.20 00:35 Reaper_Tech Community seems pretty toxic in game
Kinda sad to see how the game is turning out. Literally not worth playing in public lobbies anymore unless to join up with lower-level players. Join a group on higher difficulties, destroy 2-3 bug nests, kill 5-6-7 stalkers chasing a dude but accidentally clipping him with an incendiary shotgun round. Never mind the fact I was trying to save him from certain death and while I did since he had to use a stim, nope get bent your kicked.
Mark enemy patrols, point out areas of interest, and notify of a vault. actually, communicate situations. Apparently none of that matters. Nope, you clipped me or your rover clipped me or I ran in front of a turret you dropped you suck bye bye.
Oh, you went solo for five minutes and finished multiple objectives while 3 others just continued shooting stuff. Oh, your kicked.
Like WTF does this community want? If being a team player and taking on objectives or trying to save team members from getting overwhelmed gets you kicked constantly I don't understand the praise it gets
I have noticed this behavior is mostly a problem on Difficulty 5 and up. Join a noobie group and while they make mistakes at least a round can be finished.
Stuff like this is why I have avoided live service games like the plague due to the terrible community aspect but with so many games going this direction it makes me wonder why I should bother spending money on these games at all. I gave HellDivers a try cause many friends said it was awesome and when our schedules sync up it is a blast. But spending $40 then being expected to buy warbonds for guns that get nerfed before I can unlock them and getting maybe 1-2 hrs a week with said friend group I have to wonder why anyone can find this fun when joining public games.
Maybe my luck is just awful but I gotta say. in 3 days of playing in public lobbies in a row I have completed 1 out of 10 missions at difficulty level 5 or higher. Below level 5 there hasn't been a single issue somewhere around 10 missions all completed with the group. GG carry on.
I guess I am just having trouble understanding what the draw is for a live service game that you basically can't play. (Currently level 40) without a friend group to directly fill a squad.
