Sample letter of recommendations for residency

Need help deciding
Hello, I’m looking for a masculine, but most importantly, versatile cologne. Something to wear daily, with good longevity, and something which works during most seasons and times of day. I have a little list of options i’ve been looking at, so perhaps someone can give me a little advice because I’ve never actually sampled any of these before:
-john varvatos artisan blue -bvlgari man glacier essence -ambercrombie and fitch first instinct -dolce and gabanna light blue forever -versache dylan blue
Additionally, I’d be open to any other recommendations that fit my criteria. Thanks in advance!

I have enough money to put a substantial down payment on a house in cities that are towards the end of BART’s yellow line. The (expected) rent should be able to offset my mortgage payment on this house. Incidental expenses may come out of pocket.
I want to do this for two reasons: 1. Hedge against layoffs and my current high rent in Silicon Valley. Owning a sfh here seems out of reach and definitely not achievable if I lose my job. 2. Real estate seems to be a good investment when held for many years or decades. This is not a get-rich quick scheme at all for me. Something safe in the long run.
Is investing in this area in the way I have described a good idea? Any recommendations on neighborhoods?
Is there a good mix of owner-residents / investor properties in the area?

THE MEXICAN THINKER TO THE MOST EXCELLENT LORD GENERAL OF THE AMERICAN IMPERIAL ARMY DON AGUSTÍN DE ITURBIDE
TO HIS EXCELLENCY LORD:
When at times opinion grows in favor of your excellency, wishing to seat him on the Throne of Anahuac, when proclamations in favour of your excellency are heard everywhere: Augustine I, emperor of America, when the Nation has nothing else to reward the singular merit of your excellency, but starting her sovereignty with her liberator and, finally, when your excellency has just made us happy, it is precisely when you want to make us miserable, announcing to us that you wish to separate yourself from the government.
It won't be like that, God lives! No, your excellency will not achieve it even if you want it, nor will there be a single American who will consent to it, because seven months ago your excellency was his, and today he belongs to the nation that he has liberated: he belongs to it and not to himself.
Your excellency himself indicates this truth to us when in his tender and laudable Proclamation of September 27 he tells us: "You already know the way to be free, it is up to you to point out the way to be happy", since to be happy it is necessary that your Excellency not be apart from us.
No, sir, either Emperor or nothing; and if your excellency is not emperor, may our independece be damned. We do not want to be free if your excellency isn't leading his countrymen.
America is not a fatuous nation, it is not a barbaric or ungrateful nation, it wishes to reward your services, and it only wants you to be the one who wields the scepter of its government.
You renounced, generous ITURBIDE, even the three stripes of a colonel, you never even wanted the title of excellency, content only with liberating your country, you long, like the Washington, wish to recommend the law to us, and then retire to rest to the bosom of your illustrious family; But let my country perish, and be confused among the enslaved nations if permits such thing... No, great man, not American hero, you do not deserve such oblivion, and if my country does not put you in Montezuma's throne,she will be the most ungrateful in the inhabited globe.
Let anyone who is your enemy, who opposes this glorious idea, come out through the press, use your Plan of Iguala as a pretext and do whatever they want to show that the crown does not belong to you, I will prove to them to the point that it is very much yours, because you have won it. with your sword, with your religion, with your politics; And if there is any enemy of yours who hates you, let him come out and fight me with the sword, and then... oh! I will have the satisfaction of tearing out his vile heart and bathing my hands in ungrateful, horrible and... blood. . My God! Stop my impetus and rage that excites in me the consideration of even supposing that there is even a single American who does not want the immortal ITURBIDE to wear the crown.
I swear to God, most excellent sir, that my tears moisten this paper when I remember your merit and your tender farewell; But I console myself with the fact that my country is a heroic, great and grateful nation, and will not allow anyone but one of its countrymen to sit on its throne who has just removed the chains of a long servitude and placed it in the rank of sovereign. If he does not do so, Europe, the entire world will abhor this behavior and his ruin will be infallible.
Yes, I predict it: if your excellency is not the emperor of America, anarchy or despotism stalks us. They are in front of us, and in less than a year the kingdom will be involved in the misfortunes from which we have just emerged.
Your excellency does not read this paper with pleasure; I know it well: his moderation and humility scare him and make him conceive of a crime where there is nothing but a very brilliant virtue.
For this reason, your excellency will do very well not to aspire to the crown, and the country will do very wrong if it does not gird his heroic temples with it, because it will not pay him with anything else.
The enemies of your excellency will say that you have sworn to preserve this kingdom for the Bourbon dynasty, and I say that this oath does not bind the nation, because it did not do it and your excellency did not have, when you did it, any investiture, granted by her, to constitute him as her representative. So, your excellency, ignoring the vote of the nation, could not dispose of it, nor is it obliged to succumb to the will of your excellency against its expresses will, and when he knows that some harm may follow.
In those days we writers remained silent, because it was convenient to consolidate opinion, and achieve freedom for the country; But today that we have achieved it, it is necessary that we speak the truth.
This is that everyone, the army and the people, want your excellency to be the emperor. They have given the necessary proof, proclaiming your excellence everywhere. The only thing left is either for the Imperial Army to do it with violence, or for the kingdom to declare it through its representatives gathered in the Cortes, and it must be done in one of two ways, under penalty of accrediting the army and the nation of ungrateful and ignorant.
I know well that Mr. Lord Don Ferdinand the Seven cannot come, because he would have to abdicate the crown of Spain to one of the infantes. Nor should any of these want to come to a kingdom that they don't know, whose climate will be harmful to them and the customs repugnant.
Furthermore, as long as our Constitution is not approved, this should not be discussed, and the Cortes must establish so many restrictions on the King who comes, that no European will want to come.
For example: they must decree that he is not married, and that he marries an American; that he comes alone and that he cannot place his relatives in the governments of the capitals or sea ports, much less make them army generals. That his correspondence with overseas states must be public and seen by the Cortes, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
With such obstacles, essential to put in place in any good policy, who would want the throne of America? No one, and then who does it belong to but your excellency, who has earned it, who is our friend, our brother and our compatriot?
Let it not be said that your excellency is not descended from royal blood, because that is a concern as old as it is ridiculous, since the lord is not the one who is born but the one who knows how to be, and only your excellency has known how to be the liberator of his homeland.
Furthermore, to be an emperor by merit, like your excellency, it is not necessary to be the son of kings. Augustus, in glorious Rome, was nothing, and afterwards he was an emperor of the empire he founded; and Napoleon, in glorious France, was less than your excellence in this America. So why should your excellency, having done the same as Napoleon and Augustus, elevating your country to the kind of sovereign empire, not deserve the title of emperor that they deserved?
Nor should it be believed that the exaltation of your excellency to the Mexican throne would cause jealousy among the leaders of the Imperial Army. They are all prudent and know the indisputable merit of your excellency, and thus, I am of the opinion that they themselves would be the first to fly to offer their obedience.
If the freedom of the press allows us to publish our political ideas without offending before the law, I have said what I feel, and time will show that this vote is that of the nation.
Therefore, most excellent sir, do not even think about separating yourself from us. If Washington did it in North America, the government he installed was also diverse, and his homeland could not make him sovereign. Your excellency is in various circumstances, and if the American nation, always grateful and generous, tries to affirm you on a throne that it has won, your excellency has no discretion to renounce.
Sovereignty resides in the nation, and, under this most brilliant principle, it is up to it to give itself laws and appoint itself an emperor that suits it. And will anyone be able to accommodate her other than your excellency, who has just removed her from the class of slave, placing her in that of mistress? Will no European prince be able to compare in merit with your excellency? Will he love us as your excellency loves us and should love us? And could America see itself indifferently dominated by a strange monarch, leaving its favorite son in dark oblivion?
The ungrateful say what they want, but the country, reason, justice and gratitude say no, and that the throne of Anáhuac has been designated by the immortal monarch for the dynasty of the worthy ITURBIDE.
Far be it from me vile flattery. The general opinion is that which is expressed by my pen; The interest of the country directs it and not my personal interest, whose springs move with exclusion of only the low souls.
I know that there is no right to force my country to receive a foreign monarch on its throne, if it does not voluntarily call him. I see that the people proclaim your excellency everywhere, and this makes me know that they do not want a king of the street, but of their own house. I warn of many difficulties for, even when called by the nation, any European prince to admit a foreign throne, and in the circumstances of the day. And lately I consider that this very important matter is only for the Cortes to resolve: they can only choose the dynasty that suits them, as they alone are sufficiently authorized to represent the nation and defend its rights.
In such a case, if, as is not doubtful, the nation is solemnly declared in favour of your excellency, there is no further discretion left but to admit.
Your excellency knows well how much the power of a sovereign nation is, and remembers that in other times the Spanish offered the humble and virtuous Wamba with her throne; He constantly resigned until the determined people gathered, searched for him, found him and, presenting him with a crown and a sword, said to him: "The nation wants you to reign and command it; you have resisted many times. Here is the crown that points you to the throne, or this sword that will kill you if you do not admit it." Wamba was surprised by such an injunction, he admitted the throne and reigned for some years with the benefit and appreciation of the people.
Everything must be, sir, the work of time, and we will soon know what we will end up with. Meanwhile, your excellency do not think of separating from us. The country needs your person, and your excellency must sacrifice yourself for the country. Does your excellency want to be in the bosom of his family? Bring her to Mexico, which is his home everywhere, but never try to separate yourself from the government.
Whether with the sword at the head of the armies, or with the pen at the head of the government, it must always be useful to us, as it brings together courage and prudence; and what is more, he has conquered the hearts and has become master of the general opinion of the entire kingdom.
May your excellence live many years, and live with us for the happiness of the nation.
Mexico, September 29, 1821.
Your Excellency Sir
José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi.
NOTES
1st Once the layout of this paper had been laid out, I was pleased to see that the Supreme Junta appointed the most excellent Lord ITURBIDE as generalissimo of sea and land. Congratulations to all the members of the JUNTA, as they know how to appreciate the merit of the hero ! But will this be the reward he deserves? Will this reward his services? Has the country given him what he can and what he should give it? No way.
Generalissimo became his excellency with his courage and prudence. So in reality nothing has been done by declaring the same thing that we know.
The nation alone, I repeat, is the one that can and should reward its liberator, sharing with him the same as he gave it, and it will not do much.
Mr. ITURBIDE removed the country from a servile dependence and restored the rights of sovereignty that had been usurped for so many years. Then what will this grateful nation do to share with your excellency a sovereignty that it owes you?
I hope that, in the first session of Congress, the throne will be assigned to him by acclamation. Oh, may I have the pleasure of once kissing the hand of the Emperor of America, and may death close my eyes forever! Then our freedom will be certain and lasting, and the nation will reach the degree of opulence and majesty that corresponds to it.
2nd The day of the swearing-in is approaching, and, as an organ of public opinion, I must warn that it is not advisable to say a word about this kingdom being preserved for any part of Europe. Because if such is sworn, the oath will be void, null and of no value, because the nation does not love anyone but Mr. ITURBIDE, and with my head I answer for this proposition.
The nation becomes uncomfortable when it reads in some public newspapers that a king is asked from Spain, and that if it does not give one, it will be asked from Naples, Sicily, Austria, France, etc.
This bothers us too much, and it is necessary not to say it again. No foreign prince has any right or merit to occupy the throne of Anáhuac, which falls solely and by right to AUGUSTIN I, Emperor of America.
Besides, it is a shame that our writers go around with those requests and prayers. Europe will say: How foolish will the Americans be that, having a hero to crown at home, they ask a stranger to command them? Or were they so happy with slavery that, at the time of becoming independent from Spain, they wanted to depend on any house in Europe, so as not to have a king from their own?
So they will say, and they will say well. Therefore, it seems to me that the oath should be reduced to preserving the Catholic religion, to supporting independence, as declared by the Cortes, and to maintaining the union with Spain as a friendly power. This is my opinion, and I think it is everyone's opinion.
Mexico, September 29, 1821, the first of our freedom.

I've created a tiered list of PSVR2 that I will be trying to keep up to date as much as possible. The latest version of the list is here:
https://www.reddit.com/PSVcomments/19dddj1/new_players_be_like/
This post is to describe the tier system used in that list and to get feedback about this tier system and improvements that could be made.
To explain the tiers first I want to describe three pillars of game quality:
Pillars of Game Quality
Gameplay - This is describes how much fun a game is. It includes how well designed the controls are, how creative and interesting the concept is and generally how enjoyable it is to play.
Presentation - This is the production values, the graphics, art style, audio design and quality, voices, motion captuere and acting, haptics and everything else that makes a game a showcase for the senses.
Depth - This is about quantity, how much content is in the game or replay value in the design. Does the gameplay have a progression that makes you want to see more, are there levels you can explore, does the length of the campaign fit the cost of the game?
The Plus (+) Modifier - This is just to separate the most outstanding games of tiers A and B where there are quit a lot of games now.
Explanation of the Tiers
Tier S
These games are almost unanimously recommended as the must plays of the system whenever anyone asks for games and each game in this list is considered the best PSVR2 game or one of the very best by multiple reviewers. Each of these games has very high values in all 3 pillars: gameplay, amazing graphics and depth in content.
Examples: Resident Evil 4 and 8, Gran Turismo 7, No Man's Sky.
Tier A
These are stand out games that are usually in multiple reviewer's top 10 games list and are frequently suggested as the better games for the system. Often the best examples of a particular genre but are missing something in one of the quality pillars to be a masterpiece. Most of the games in a top 10 or top 25 list will be here.
Examples of tier A+ Legendary Tales, Horizon Call of the Mountain, Pavlov, Red Matter 2, Walkabout Mini Golf.
Examples of tier A: Propagation: Paradise Hotel, The Light Brigade, Puzzling Places.
Tier B
This is the tier for the average good game. Most recommended games will land here and it is what most people think a 7-8 score represents when they see one. These games you can usually recommend and will enjoy but don't stand out of the pack.
Examples of B+: Hubris, Barbaria, Switchback VR
Examples of B: Galaxy Kart, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge, Thumper
Tier C+
Tier C+ is reserved for those games that most people don't consider particularly good but some people enjoy them for one reason or another. For example, Job Simulator, an old game that hasn't aged well, but still a classic and great for easing people into VR. Cactus Cowboy - Plants at War, is an example of a game that has very low production value but the fact that it is free and is surprisingly enjoyable, makes it stand out of the bunch. Similarly Awesome Asteroids, a short and simple but polished asteroids in VR. Not a lot of game, but perfect for the price. Feel free to suggest any other hidden "pebbles" that you enjoyed even though you know they aren't the particularly good games.

Hello all,
Our Board is going to be looking at the idea of getting some charging installed on our property for EVs at an upcoming meeting.
I am just looking for opinions/advice on any successful installs you guys have done/been involved with.
My fear is that since the population of our two buildings is largely oldeanti-ev they are going to pick the most expensive option and kill it without any debate. I am just looking for counterpoint and successful projects to help reverse that view as I fear our property will quickly become undesirable as many other condo locations in the area are (slowly) starting to install chargers and we haven't even discussed it yet.
My main concerns specific to our property are as follows.
Parking is not assigned. And garage spaces are limited and rented out month to month to users. Each building only has ~30 spots or so indoogarage is not going to work which I'm sure drives up cost moving outside to run power to the spots. Tips on outdoor charging?
Current EV participation is low so I can see alot of residents not wanting to get involved in the cost of install as they view EVs in a negative light and probably don't understand how this could negativity affect property value in the coming years. Tips on overcoming this?
Last but not least. Company. I see lots of complaints about Chargepoint. The only other one I've really found is Tesla. Any recommendations on companies that support this kind of a rollout? We would probably be looking at no more than 8 spots per building at this time.
Please feel free to point anything else out you need more information on to make a recommendation!
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the /GoPro Weekly Questions thread!
This is the place where everyone, beginner or advanced, should ask your general GoPro related questions, or ask for help troubleshooting! We encourage you to post here rather than make your own thread, as this is a great place for us veteran users to answer your questions regularly, it minimizes basic question clutter on the main page, and allows users with discussion threads to stay on the front page longer before getting bumped off over time.

Hi guys!
I tried a sample of the BOJ sunscreen this morning and I did not enjoy it.
I have combo, sensitive acne-prone skin and used the sample with my normal routine although I was pleasantly surprised at its soothing properties and finish but it was very hard to blend in and pilled pretty badly (to the extent I had to remove parts) which I have never had happened before with other SPF's I tried? I use a water-based light moisturiser so it should not be pilling. I'm not looking for product recommendations, I'm just wondering if any of you have experienced similar issues?
Thank you xx

Hi, here is a brief history and where I am at today. 2016 had an atypical mole on back of shoulder with recommendation for removal. Removed in 6/2017 and pathology found melanoma adjacent to the atypical mole. 8/2017 Had a wide excision and SLN biopsy. Positive SLN. Started every 3mo PET and ultrasound of L axilla (arm pit). 10/2017 Started every 2 week treatment with Optivo for 1 year. Had a port placed due to poor IV access. 9/1018 suspicious lymph node had biopsy and positive. 10/2018: complete axillary lymph node dissection 1 out 19 nodes positive. 10/2018-10/2023 continued PET scans and US every 6 months then annually. 10/2023 5 years no evidence of disease (yay) discharged from oncology 3/2024 found a lump in my arm about 2” from original wide excision scar. 4/2024 PET scan with bright shining tumor at site of lump. 5/2024 wide excision of tumor. Anticipated wound vac placement and skin graft. Luckily the surgeon was able to close. Currently sitting home letting this heal.
Meanwhile oncologist sent original melanoma for additional testing (I didn’t even know they kept the samples that long). It is BRAF positive and now he has mentioned wanting to start me on another treatment for a year. Not sure why this testing wasn’t done 6 years ago. Maybe it didn’t exist then.
Has anyone done targeted treatment for BRAF+ melanoma? I have an appointment in 2 weeks with oncologist. Just want input on what questions to ask.

I’m pursuing a B.S in Math. I do not have any academic research prospects, so I don’t plan on going to grad school. I plan on doing applied mathematics in industry, right now I’m most interested in mathematical modeling (nonlinear mixed effects modeling, etc).
I want to join an organization that gives workshops or applied math research opportunities for students. I managed to get a recommendation letter from one of my professors here at ASU, but because I don’t have much of an academic CV, all the programs I’ve tried applying for reject me. How am I supposed to get research experience if they all want research experience? I’m Persian as well, so I figured maybe there are organizations for Persians just as I have seen many for Hispanics, Indians, etc., but I haven’t had any luck finding any for Persians. Just my luck lol.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm going to McMaster Engineering 1 this September. I have a few questions regarding the program. Any additional advice is much appreciated. These questions aren't in any particular order.
For some context:

• I will be living on residence in first year
• I have free choice and will most likely choose Electrical Engineering in my second year.

Questions:

1. McMaster has BEng and the BEngManagement programs, what are the pros and cons of each type of degree? I would consider electrical engineering (covered by my free choice) and electrical engineering and management. I recognize that the BEngManagement is a 5-year program, whereas the BEng one is 4 years; however, how would co-op work for the 5-year management program (I can take the BEng and do a 5-year degree with co-op)?
2. Regarding first-year courses, what electives should I take given my context (or in general) for engineering?
3. What is a "unit" (I see that most courses are 3 units)?
4. For engineering, what residence building (eg. Matthew Hall) is recommended? (Most likely not apartment rooms. Double room is preferred)
5. What is some general advice for those staying in residence? Any tips would be helpful. Should I rent a Fridge?
6. Regarding the meal plan, what is some advice on choosing the meal plan? Do most people end up with leftover money at the end of the year even with the cheapest meal plan?
7. Which option is often preferred for co-op? Option A: Co-op in the spring of your first, second and third years or Option B: Co-op in the spring of your first and second year, and a 16-month co-op stretching from third-year spring to fourth-year spring, inclusive?
8. This is not really specific to McMaster's co-op but what are some tips for landing a co-op in first-year summer (preferably for electrical engineering)?

Does anyone in this thread have any recommendations for a perfume that is in the same ballpark of Creeds Queen of Silk? My wife loves the sample I got her of QOS, the problem is she would throw up if I bought her an entire bottle because of the crazy price point.

My history teacher recently agreed to write me a letter of recommendation. However he told me to include my resume and things about myself that he can contribute to. Should I provide a full resume or anything else to contribute? And should I email or print it out for him to write? Any other info on letter or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys! So I made it back into the United States from a work trip to London via advanced parole! The side benefit of having an entry with inspection is amazing of course and just traveling out of the country for the first time in 22 years was just something special! I highly recommend if anyone can do it, to do it! Especially if you don’t have legal entry. Doing it now before the next election is critical imo.
I had another post where I described my timeline and experience. One thing I’d add is you will need to have nerves of steel when coming back. Everyone’s experiences are different but for me, the airline I was using refused to let me board until I had to call my company’s lawyer who then had to get the director of passenger operations from JFK to call the airline to validate the document.
This honestly scared me off from doing advanced parole ever again. But now I got put on another project that needs me to attend regular calls with the Japanese team of 2 clients and a Hong Kong team of another client. So I began thinking this might be a great opportunity for me to visit Tokyo to either meet them in person or at least be in the same timezone for a couple weeks where we can have a few dedicated sessions and really hammer out the project.
So for people who’ve done advanced parole multiple times, especially through work, I wanted to get your thoughts and experiences. And had some questions.

1. How long did your advanced parole take? Mine was surprisingly fast. biometrics in October 2023 and my original advanced parole approved at the end of December. I never received that one so I had to do an emergency request to not jeopardize my trip.
   
2. How long was yours issued for? They told me daca recipients only get single entry for one month.
   
3. Were you questioned or had any issues on your return home?
   
4. Did you get your employer to cover the fees? Or did you pay out of pocket. I had my employer cover it the first time mainly to add more credibility to my case. That this is truly for work. Does it weaken your case if you apply by yourself and pay for it? Or do you just need the letter from the employer? Mainly cuz my Boss will not approve paying for this again due to limited budget.
   
5. Do you have any tips for explaining to airlines how you’re able to return to the United States? The airline questioned my document and basically said it was not legitimate due to them not being familiar with it and USCIS made a really bad typo in the body (United Stales lol). If I do this myself, I will not have the company lawyer who can pull strings again at JFK. Unless I try to get the contact info of the person who talked to the airline and confirm if he can help me.
   

Thanks!

1) How would your overall experience of Rotman? In terms of connections that will help me within and outside Canada (primarily the US)
2) How is the social life? Are you able to make good friends? Are there hangouts? Is there a party life?
3) How hard would you say maintaining a good GPA and getting internships is?
4) Unfortunately I was rejected from Queens and Ivey but do you recommend me to choose Rotman over Laurier BBA? Please consider all aspects(Social life, internships/coop, connections, the difficulty of the program)
5) How are the residents?
Thank you very much for helping a fellow student out.

I am currently in a 2 year Masters in Economics program at a good university in europe. I have been contemplating switching into computer science for years now. I have at least another year or 1.5 years to finish the degree at the pace Im going at (didnt take any classes 1 semester) . I dont pay tuition
I was considering a Computer Science conversion masters in the UK and University of Birmingham seemed like a good option. But a few things swayed me away from applying for now such as; getting a research assistant position that will last until November, developments in AI in programming, having to get a letter of recommendation from my bachelor professor again and maybe not even go if I get accepted, (might sound stupid) and leaving an advanced masters degree from a decent Uni unfinished.
I haven't applied but maybe I should have, is it too late now? Is it worth switching into a conversion masters leaving my Econ masters unfinished? They have rolling admissions until August I dont know if the positions would be full at this point
If I were to go to the USA or the UK eventually, would a masters in Economics add good value to my profile alongside a Masters in Computer science?

Any advice would be much appreciated🙏🙏. I'm applying to study physics at both UK and US unis and I'm not sure whether I should ask my physics or my chemistry teacher for my recommendation letter - I'm closer to my chemistry teacher and I think she knows me better as I've participated in lots of chemistry competitions/events this year so I was able to spend more time with her but since I'm going into physics and my physics teacher is also my EE supervisor would it be better to ask him? I still have a good relationship with him I just prefer my chemistry teacher... My spanish teacher is writing my other recommendation if that affects anything
