Editing paragraphs 6th grade

There's not an actual context, I just wanted to say that I love my best friend with all my heart. Not in a romantic way of course because he has a girlfriend and I'm not attracted to boys, but I'm really glad we knew each other. He's a really nice guy and he always supports me and makes me laugh, he's such a sensible boy and I really hate seeing him sad. I knew him since 6th grade and we got along really well just in few days. He's been through a lot and I feel so bad for not knowing what to do at the first place, but I hope things will get better for him. If he reads this post, I just want him to know that I care for him like no one else would and that he's the best guy I've ever met :)

Hi all, I really need advice about a situation that's currently tearing my already broken family apart. We think my mum might be a narcissist (or just extremely emotionally avoidant), and I need help navigating this. If any of this is confusing/unclear, apologies in advance and I'll try to clarify in comments.
Mum: 60sF, divorced for 20yrs
Sister: 34F, lives near mum
Nephew: 4M, goes between sister and sis's STB ex-husband
My: 32M, lives a few hours drive away
Mum and sister's relationship has always been strained. I was/am the golden child, but was very quiet/in my own head/introverted growing up, so this didn't register until later. But I remember sister (16 at the time) crying to a friend saying "why is she so horrible to me". She moved out briefly after this, but moved in a few weeks later. There were other instances; the problems aren't new.
My sister split up with her STBX last year. They'd been having issues for ~2 years, but it had been quiet so I'd assumed it was fixed. Mum kept saying it was "very soon" and expressed doubt at the decision, despite sister becoming bolder, more confident, etc. Sister and ex co-parent, the arrangement was a bit awkward but actually got better when sister told ex about the mum problems (they were together for 12 years, ex knows what mum's like).
Sister has since met a lovely new partner. She says that she feels happy, like she can take on the world, and that she has no regrets about the split. Mum has refused to get on board with this. Example: sister hosted a dinner for the 4 of us where mum asked new partner a total of 3 questions, otherwise talked about nonsense/irrelevant people. Before we went on a family hol in December, mum was being cagey/short with sister, saying things like "you don't hear what I have to say". Mum apologised once sister threatened to travel separately, and we thought things were better.
It all blew up before new year's. Sister was going with new partner on a break for NYE, with nephew staying with mum. Mum launched at sister, saying "you were dishonest to me about the new partner (sister kept it quiet because she knew it was soon after the split, but it felt right to her), you send nephew to school in dirty clothes (there was a bit of dirt on a jumper) and I'm embarrassed to take him, you're swanning off on holiday and abandoning your son".
Obviously this has hugely upset sister (who's an amazing and caring mum). She said she thinks about it every day, and feels like there's a storm cloud over her every time mum's with her. Mum has since pretended this never happened. This weekend, mum accused sister of "excluding her" but refused to talk to sister and walked off. Sister is now looking at reducing mum's babysitting time (freely offered by mum) because she doesn't want mum weaponising free childcare (mum made pointed comments about childcare when I was in the room).
The situation is awful, and not going to get any better. The problematic behaviours mum presents can be summarised as:

• Thinking she's somehow the hurt party, after she inferred sister was a shit mother
  
• Lashing out at people, then refusing to acknowledge it (she's done this to me in the past)
  
• Controlling personality (bought nephew new jumpers without asking sister, used to take me to haircuts without asking me)
  
• Manipulation (mum claimed some info about nephew wasn't told to her by STBX. Meaning either STBX is lying or mum is)
  

I'm trying to work out what mum's motivators are, and what mental gymnastics she's used to make herself the hurt party in all of this. I said some heated words to her, trying to say that she was in the wrong, but she's not brought it up again. This might be because she knows she's in the wrong and doesn't like that I'm not on her side. She did accuse sister of making people take sides (which she absolutely did not. She told me what was happening and drew my own conclusions).
I really need some advice on how to handle this. Dad doesn't want to get involved (v emotionally avoidant), aunt (mum's sister, a few years older) tries to keep the peace, even though mum's horrible to her too. Our parent's emotional misgivings have been handed to us to sort out and I'm increasingly annoyed at this, but also worried for my sister (who feels ill when she has to see mum). Though she's starting to set up boundaries, it's v difficult for her as neither of us are good at confrontation (mum was always domineering and not easy to speak up to).
Do I need to confront mum further? Do I need to tell her to see a therapist if she wants to sort out this situation? Any advice/reflections would be very welcome. Thank you.
EDIT: Thought of some specific examples of her past behaviour.

• When I received a lower than expected grade at university, she stopped speaking to me until my birthday, where I was given a sort of family heirloom and treated normally. Then went back to not speaking to me until graduation. She started crying in the service when the graduates turn around to clap their parents (this physically pained me), told me this. That was a strong "I will never forgive you" moment.
  
• Berated me for 10 minutes when I said I wasn't going to ask my dad to help with a bathroom renovation (they only speak about sister and I, no love lost). Didn't even mention it next phone call.
  
• When I moved away from home post-university, went OTT trying to buy everything for my house. "You'll need a toilet roll holder, you'll NEED a lemon squeezer", etc. When I refused to take a small TV, it became "will you do something for me? Will you take the TV?".
  

I run a kids field day and every year we manually create a schedule based on the number of teams that have registered pre grade and gender. Ideally, I'd like to automate this portion but I can't seem to figure out a formula that we give me the results I'm looking for. I attached an example of what I'm looking for - this is what we now create manually.
There are a maximum of 32 teams in any given category (just noticed there's an error with 33 in my screenshot) and we try to distribute the team across the 8 lanes over a maximum of 4 heats. In other words, if there are 18 teams, we'd spread that over 3 heats of 6 rather than two heats of 8 teams and one of 2 teams
Any help is appreciated.

Hi everyone so this is a really petty story from middle school I’m in my 3 year of high school right now.
So anyway when I was in middle school I had this two girls that were my best friends we‘ll call them Abby and Martha and we would mostly walk around the campus talking or sit at the lunch tables drawing but starting 5th grade they would start to ignore me and not answer any of my questions. But is was fine cause naive me still thought we were all friends but one day in 6th grade a few weeks before my birth day they said they had a surprise for me for my birthday but there was also some bad news and I would have to wait for them to tell me that night on discord. So there I was 6th grade me waiting for the text when I get it they said “do you want the good news are the bad news first” I said bad news first cause how bad could it be. It was bad they sent a whole ass list on why they thought I was a ”fake friend” non of them were true. They said I was homophobic which is funny cause I’m gay, they said I was racist which I’m not that either I have plenty of friends that are black, they also said that don’t care about them and never helped them when they were sad which is also wrong because one of them, Martha she said to never say are you ok to her so she doesn’t cry more and I said ok, Another one was I could never remember there birthdays bitch I could hardy remember my own birthday, either way I could keep going but I don’t want to make this to long. So that happened and what was even worse is that they added my enemy to the chat she hated me cause she thought I was trying to steal her man! It took me a whole day to process what happened and that was my first break in this story as there are many more to come. Now fast forward to my birthday I invited Martha and Abby to my party cause why not, only Martha came and two friends from my karate class. Everything was fine until, Abby messaged martha asking were she was martha said at my house Abby freaked out and called Martha a fake bitch and did message Martha for the rest of my party.
Fast forward to my 7th grade year I was still friends with Martha and I made some new friends that I hanged out with but it didn’t last long as It all started during the elections for student council half of my friend group wanted person1 to win while the other half wanted person 2 to win I didn’t know who to pick so I became my own person. But you know who keep switching sides and spending false rumors it was non other then Martha she was causing drama on the second month of school like girl. That was the first crake the second one was when martha and two other people from my friend group but egg into person 2’s soup (one of the girls from the election drama) It didn’t end well and our little group split into two groups the gossip group and the non gossip group the one I’m in along with Martha and two other girls (minded that there were 7 of use). Then Martha and one girl we will call her Stanley girl, they moved over to the gossip group cause they got into a fight with another girl in my group. And of course Martha caused a lot of drama in the gossip group and he ended up only having one friend by the end of the year who was the Stanley girl. Of course Martha got some karma in 7th grade like getting in trouble for fat shaming a diabetic kid or when the girls did like a group therapy and when I was talking about the 6th grade incident she started to cry, fake tears to cause I was ranting and calling her out on it. She always cries when shes in trouble and tries to get out of the situations and get the attention on her which worked all the way up till our 8th graduation.
When you graduate from 8th grade at my middle school you would right a three or more paragraph speech talking about your time at the school this is were my pettiness comes in. The speeches are basically thanking the school and remembering the funny moments, so what I did was talk about good things and bad things of every year, my school was kindergarten all the way till 8th grade. So you can imagine the look on Martha’s face when I basically talked shit about her in front of the whole school. It was priceless and I was the last speech of the 8th graders so when everything was done Martha and her one friend got hit with a lot of questions and insult’s from the middle schoolers and it got to the point were she started crying and ran to her mom.
So there’s my story I hoped you in joyed, feel free to ask me anything in the comments and make sure to subscribe to Charlotte as he is are petty queen. Nyx out

ATTRIBUTES THAT SET ME APART FROM OTHER TUTORS:

• I firmly believe that I have many attributes and skills that set me apart from other tutors. Below is a list of qualities that makes me an ideal fit to help you master your coursework:

I CAN AID STUDENTS TAKING PROCTORED ASSESSMENTS:

• Proficient in CollegeBoard AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC & AP Statistics exams.
• Skilled with International Baccalaureate Math Exams: IB Maths HL & IB Maths SL
• Can intentionally answer a few problems incorrectly at the student's request.
• Can text solutions to the student while they are taking a proctored exam.
• Upon request, can purposely obtain grades below an A (ex: B+, B, C+, C-).
• I can stretch out the time to a plausible length for timed exams and assignments before submitting them.
• Have reliable software that can change my IP address to match the closest major city near the student.
• I have exceptional multiple-choice exam-taking skills. I have mastered the various techniques to make calculated guesses for the correct option in standardized exams such as the SAT & GRE.

I CAN VERIFY MY ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS:

• I have no problem with requests to solve sample problems upfront to prove my knowledge & proficiency of the course concepts.
• I can provide glowing references & strong examples of work done for past clients to verify my academic skills.
• I can also provide, upon request, complete detailed calculations with explanations for solutions to the problems worked on.
• I am quite skilled and adept in using multiple modernized educational platforms and software, including but not limited to: Brightspace MyStatLab D2L WebAssign Canvas MyMathLab Blackboard ALEKS
• Can format term papers and discussion posts in APA MLA Harvard Chicago Vancouver OSCOLA IEEE format.

I HAVE PAID ACCESS TO OVER 15 STUDY-HELP WEBSITES AND MATHEMATICAL SOFTWARE:

• I have multiple paid subscriptions to a wide range of academic tutoring resources, including Chegg, Quizlet, CourseHero, Brainly, Grammarly, Study. com, Bartleby, Slader, Transtutors, Slideshare, StudocU, Turnitin, Academia, SymboLab, WolframAlpha, and Scribd to help guide to solve exam & homework questions that I may not immediately know.
• However, I am smart enough not to blatantly plagiarize solutions online but instead write them in my own unique words, formatting, & mathematical terminology.
• I have access to a very sophisticated graphing calculator and various mathematical software that provides step-by-step solutions to complex mathematical problems within seconds, allowing me to provide exact solutions to the student in a timely manner.
• I have impeccable handwriting and a high-quality mobile scanner app that allows me to scan written solutions in very legible high-definition JPG, PNG, or PDF formats.

I ALWAYS ACCEPT CALLS:

• I have no problem speaking with potential clients on the phone.
• I have an authentic suburban upper-middle-class American accent, similar to the actor: Ben Stein.
• However, be wary of so-called “tutors” who refuse to accept any phone calls or have a strict “text / email only” policy.
• These “text-only” / “email-only” tutors are usually located outside the U.S. and are afraid their foreign accent will expose their true nationality.

I WRITE LIKE A PROFESSIONAL:

• Approximately 98% of the time, I write all my texts & emails in grammatically correct U.S. English with proper punctuation and occasional typo.
• Unlike some alleged “U.S.-based tutors,” I do NOT write using broken English or grammatically incorrect texting shorthand (example: "wut u need help wit??").
• I write my ad in proper American English, the same way I always text and email people.
• I can guide students on formatting & writing term papers, essays, and discussion posts in APA MLA Chicago Harvard format.
• If the tutor you’re checking out consistently writes using egregiously horrendous grammar, do you honestly think it’s a good idea to trust them to help you do well in your class?

We writers have tried AI. It doesn't save any time. I type faster than your prompt can even finish playing the idle animation. The stochastic parrot that you have trained to mutter some of the same words I use lacks my life-honed skill. No, it doesn't save me time to run an article through a prompt and then edit it, any more than it saves an artist time to shit on the canvas and hose it off before composing an oil painting on it.
Sorry, the investor funding is running out on your new replacement for NFTs, and you're going to lose a lot of money again. There is no customer for your toy.
If you really wanted to make software that helps writers, get to work on giving me a spell-checker that has a vocabulary extending beyond 4th grade.

Ruijerd Superdia is a relatively simple man to understand. Straightforward, stalwart, and diligent; Ruijerd is seemingly incapable of any form of dishonesty or chicanery of any kind. It only makes sense then that such a taciturn man, who prefers to speak through actions rather than words, would so easily relate to children specifically because of their straightforward, honest nature and difficulty to verbally communicate their feelings. Kids, try as they might, are terrible liars after all and, like Ruijerd, tend to adhere to Black-and-White Morality, exhibiting their difficulty in comprehending perspectives outside of their own extremely narrow worldview. If nothing else, Ruijerd can trust that a child will never betray his expectations.
As honed as his detection skills are, Ruijerd's awkward, naive personality leaves him unable to peer into the hearts of others and vulnerable to deception. For anyone familiar with eastern spiritualism, the irony of Ruijerd possessing a third eye is likely obvious. The third eye (or "Ajna") usually denotes "intuition and the ability to see things beyond what you see on the surface." Unfortunately for Ruijerd, the implementation of this concept is only as a very literal "6th sense" and acts more like a "spiritual sonar" than any sort of indication of enlightenment. This inability to parse Laplace's true intentions when recruiting the Superd tribe into the war effort and later adoption of the black spears (against the reservations of his more discerning followers) is directly responsible for the horrific, tragic deaths of his comrades, tribe, and family.
Since the war, the Superd race has been hunted, scorned, and nearly eradicated in retaliation for Ruijerd's heinous crimes. Even had he not personally slain his own kin, the blood of his people (and THOUSANDS of other innocent lives) is both literally and figuratively on his hands. Obviously it would be simple to lay most of the blame at the feet of Laplace for his deception but is this situation starting to feel a little familiar? For anyone as incompatible with innuendo as Ruijerd, don't worry, I'll elucidate.
Ruijerd Superdia is, like most of the cast, a foil to Rudeus Greyrat. More specifically, Ruijerd most closely parallels Oldeus were he to have continued living on well after the series of tragedies that drove him to become obsessed with revenge and consumed by hatred. Both lost their community and families as a result of being tricked by a charismatic greater being, destroyed their reputation, became internationally wanted criminals, and stubbornly refuse to acknowledge their complicity in their own downfall (I realize how harsh that sounds, but bear with me I am going somewhere with this).
While they carry with them an overwhelming sense of self-loathing and regret over their failures, they place an inordinate level of the blame for their actions at the feet of Laplace/Man-God respectively as the sole source of their misery, blind to how their current actions and unwillingness to let go of their hatred actively impedes their ability to gain newfound happiness and connections. Oldeus unfortunately dies before he has any such opportunity for further development, consumed by hatred, his heart full of regret at a life wasted on revenge. Ruijerd, however, blessed (or cursed) with an extremely long lifespan continues to live on even after achieving his revenge, a shell of his former self. It is with this understanding that we can see how the influence of the Greyrats slowly, but surely, shifts his perspective. And yes, I do mean Greyrat(S) as in plural, because we have 2 people to thank for this.
First is Rudeus, whose commitment to helping Ruijerd pushes him to challenge Ruijerd on his dangerously simplistic Black-and-White moral code that dictates anyone he deems to be "evil" must be killed. Ruijerd shaves his hair to avoid trouble and (despite some bumps along the way) commits to giving this "not murdering evildoers" thing a shot after witnessing Rudy's resolve to keep Eris safe (unless you're literally buying, selling, and murdering children in which case fair game, spear go BRRR). Finally, near the end of their travels together Rudeus confides in Ruijerd the reason for his oft strange behavior; his conversations with the Man-God and, to Ruijerd's shock and (justifiably) intense bittersweet joy, the revelation that not only were his people under the effects of a curse of hatred this entire time but that said curse has faded to the point that the act of shaving his head drastically lessened its effects, thereby allowing him to finally witness the positive effects of his centuries of atonement.
Allow me a brief aside to gush about the quality of writing on display regarding Ruijerd shaving his head. A haircut is widely understood as one of the evergreen (no pun intended) classic visual metaphors for dramatic character change or growth (and an example of Truth in Fiction as this is a REAL behavior people exhibit). Nothing particularly new or groundbreaking is being done with this trope. However, it is simply mindboggling just how EFFICIENTLY it was used here. This action is woven into not only Ruijerd's character arc, but the narrative as a whole. First, it serves as an in-universe explanation for how curses function (a point that becomes EXTREMELY relevant later for Cliff, Elinalise, and Orsted pertaining to the mitigation/nullification of curses), second it is used to visually and thematically demonstrate the moment Ruijerd committed to changing his ways after 400+ years of stagnation, and lastly it serves as THE singular defining action that shifts people's attitudes towards him. Cutting his hair, in conjunction with his commitment to changing his behavior and attitude, was both literally and figuratively the change he needed to make to achieve his goals. F**king [chef's kiss]. Perfection in writing by using every part of the buffalo. Anyways, back to the essay.
The second, but equally (if not more) important Greyrat, is Norn and similar to his relationship with Rudy their development is mutual and intertwined. During their travels to the northern territories, Ruijerd is given an opportunity to bond with Norn over numerous stories of his people and family which leave a lasting impression on Norn. Her contribution at this point is, of course, rather passive however it cannot be understated how therapeutic it can be to have such an active listener to engage with when recalling memories that, until recently, you might otherwise associate exclusively with pain or grief.
While consoling Norn in the added chapter "The Master Babysitter" Ruijerd draws a direct resemblance between Norn's current mindset and his son's same nearly identical refusal to be left behind by their father:

Ruijerd still didn’t know how his son had been able to defeat him back then. He roamed the whole of the Demon Continent carrying that question, but he’d never found a satisfying answer. Now, however, he had an idea. His son had surely worked hard to become stronger in ways his father never knew about. He’d followed his father’s instructions, and had trained himself with purpose and determination in order to protect both his mother and his village. Ruijerd felt such pride.
If Norn felt the same way, then she wouldn’t listen no matter how much Paul told her that he was worried or that she was precious to him.

Just by interacting with Norn and recognizing the qualities she shares with his son, he is finally able to re-interpret what these painful memories now mean to him. Memories which had previously only been a source of regret and shame can now instead be a source of strength and pride. A sentiment he relays back to Norn in the next paragraph:

“If you want to be with someone, you have to get bigger, stronger, more impressive. In order to get there, you’re going to have to bear with your circumstances right now.” His words were clumsy. He wasn’t conveying what he wanted to very clearly.
But Norn understood. Strange as it was, she found meaning in his words. They resonated differently from what Lilia, Aisha, and the other adults had said to her before, perhaps because Ruijerd’s came from a place of positivity rather than negativity.

Positivity he gained specifically from interacting with Norn. Her contributions, however, do not stop there. It takes time for her to act upon that advice, but her efforts eventually pay dividends. Both in part thanks to Ruijerd's clumsy guidance all those years ago and her own natural tenacity and grit, Norn Greyrat grows up to become a resilient, self-critical, and emotionally mature young lady with an unshakeable work ethic (albeit still a bit clumsy). If you somehow haven't watched this essay by EliteAri, do so now. It's the sole reason I didn't start with a Norn essay because despite being my favorite character in the series the perfect essay for her literally already exists, so this is about as close as I'm ever going to get to doing a dedicated Norn essay.
After reuniting during the final conflict, her resemblance to Ruijerd's previous family seems to have only intensified. As a child she resembled his son and his dauntless determination, but as an adult she more closely resembles his wife and they eventually marry and have a child together. Such a Happily Ever After is of course about as heartwarming as a basket of puppies, kittens, ducklings, piglets, AND bunnies and is extremely well earned, but I still have a few more things to mention about this clumsy couple.
While a physical resemblance would be the obvious comparison, Ruijerd was probably referring to their personalities. Given what we learn about the original history from Orsted and what we already know about Ruijerd's son, it can be inferred that both were extremely competent, respectable mothers. Norn's daughter, Luicelia Superdia, was destined to become the legendary Superd warrior and last of her kind who single-handedly restores the honor of the Superd Tribe by landing the killing blow on Demon God Laplace. In other words, they both raised an extremely disciplined, competent warrior who defeat an EmperoGod Tier combatant respectively.
Ruijerd's marriage to Norn may not be the climax but it is most certainly the finale of their respective arcs (and is arguably the healthiest marriage in the entire canon).
As I have hopefully demonstrated at length, Ruijerd's development serves to exemplify the healing that can be achieved when you form a healthy perspective of your past no matter how difficult that might be. Allowing oneself to remain chained to the resentment and hatred of being a victim is unproductive and serves only to maintain the vicious cycle of self-loathing, regret, and fear of attachment that prevents you from forming new, healthy relationships.
Ruijerd still has his centuries old trauma but he has finally found what he needed most: Acceptance.

Okay this sounds insane, I'm aware. And yes Charlotte, this is not wedding drama...no this is far better. This is petty HIGHSCHOOL DRAMA. Prepare yourself for a rude, because I might have to split this entire story into parts.

1. Backstory Time I (16F) used to be friends with a boy (17M, let's call him Nate) who was in my class. The first time I saw him was in my freshman year, 2021, and for some reason I used to have a crush on Nate. At the time I was 14, he was 15. (Maybe it was because he was blonde, or he was athletic, and because he was funny.) That was a biiiiigg mistake, most likely because I was fresh out of homeschooling and hadn't interacted with any males outside of family friends and childhood friends since 6th grade. He didn't like me back, turns out he was trying to bag my girl friend at the time (16F), and so I was like "Bet, go be together you lovebirds, I don't care anyways". After that happened, his best friend saw the whole ordeal and texted me through Nate's phone so he could cheer me up about getting rejected. The best friend(15M at the time, now 17M. Let's call him Alan.) ended up flirting with me after some time, and we both were crushing on eachother about a week later. Let me just say that I fell HARD for Alan, like it was to the point that I couldn't wait to fall asleep and see him the next day at school. We end up dating, but I had a moment of clarity and realized I have no idea what I'm doing and what dating is about, so we went back to being friends. This turned into a situationship of sorts, and it took about a year for it to dissolve, and it took ME two and a half years to finally get over him. THIS WHOLE TIME, I had no idea that Nate was actually jealous of me and Alan...and he was determined to win my "love" for him back.

I shall release part two when I have the opportunity, I have two essays to finish rn and some family matters to help with. But I have to say this....Charlotte I absolutely love you, you've helped me so much and made me realize it's okay to let myself be silly and not give two potato's about what others think. Thank you. 💖🥔
PART TWO COMING SOOOOON, please help this story reach our Honorable Judge ✨✨

Hey Everyone,
Passed the exam with AT/AT/AT earlier this week. I got a lot of useful information out of this sub so hopefully, some of these tools. tips, and tricks can help someone going down the PMP path. :)
Taking The Exam
So as you know, the test is 4 hours long 180 questions. For pure test taking suggestions I would recommend the below.

• Do it in person, if possible.
  • The test centers are quiet, nice, and in my experience, friendly.
  • Doing it online, while flexible, leaves many variables open that doing it in person will solve. Most importantly, you're not subject to a proctor you can't see and talk to in regards to whatever concerns they/you may have.
• Take your breaks
  • You get two break, use them. It's an important way to help you rest your brain for a bit and move around. It is extremely hard to focus on 180 questions at one time over several hours.
• Show up early to the testing center
  • At least at my testing center, it was really busy. Show up early so you're among the first to check in and get going. Helps prevent anxiety as well.

Test Itself

• About 5 drag and drop questions
• About 5 multiple selection questions
• 1 graph question
• 2 calculation questions where you have to break out the calculator
  • No formula questions
• About 50% agile & 50% Predictive/Hybrid
• 2 questions I wasn't super confident in / didn't know
  • Some very specific agile questions that probably would be "Expert" in StudyHall
• Completed in 3 hr 30 min
  • Spent about an hour on each set of 60 questions
  • After completing a set I'd spend ~10-15 min reviewing my answers. Only changed a few of them after re-reading the questions.

Test Observations

• Lots of conflict resolution questions .
• Could be me but, things seemed to get progressively harder each set of 60 questions. Nothing unsolvable or things you weren't able to reduce.
• Lot's of questions to see if you'd follow the process.
• A few questions to see if you'd follow the law / regulations.
• Found that highlighting everything burned too much time. Ended up only highlighting questions that were long or complex.
• The strikethrough tool is your friend. Use it to eliminate bad options. I found that I was able to knock out at least 2 options almost instantly.
• Test tries to steer you towards escalating the issue to sponsoleadership. In very very rare cases, at least in the exam, should you escalate.
• Lots of questions on change management.
• Large emphasis on communication and stakeholder management.
  • Communicate, communicate, and communicate.
• StudyHall more or less directly aligns with the exam.

Exam Question Tips

• Always assess and then look for opportunities resolve
  • Resolve issues collaboratively with the team, if possible
• Always communicate and be an active listener. Confirm that your message is received and understood.
• Solve issues early and don't let them escalate.
• Prioritize legal issues and concerns. Can’t generate business value if you can’t get your stuff to market.
• Motivate, facilitate, and be a leader for your team.
• Train and mentor team members.
  • Enable mentoring, training, or shadowing for team members needing help with quality, developing experience, or direction.
• Ensure requirements are clear and if stakeholders don’t know what they want, help facilitate and guide them to a project vision and what they want out of it.
• Understand how to run a sprint (planning, stand ups, review, retrospectives, etc).
• Prioritize the backlog to deliver business value.
• Identify risks (both positive and negative) and put them in a risk register, identify risk responses.
• Include all stakeholders and ensure they receive communications.
• Always follow the plan, if you need to change the plan, conduct change management process
• Follow the contract and be a good business partner.
• Be conscientious of cultural differences and practices.
• Resolve conflicts collaboratively.

Hi, I am an 18M. For starters, I am going through a tough time. I do not understand or know my problem I am confused as hell. I feel confident but at the same time self-loathing sometimes. I have gone emotionally numb. I feel no emotional connection to my family.
So here it starts.-

1. I belong to India and my parents got married some 19 years ago. My mother is highly educated she has 4-5 degrees and the majority of them are from top colleges in India but she wasn't allowed to work because my grandma was a narcissist who controlled my family's life and favored my uncle's family over my father's. When my first sister was born she was born with cerebral palsy along with high learning disability and tons of other issues due to hospital negligence but my mother faced the brunt of it as it's because of you that child was born disabled and a whole ton of shit. So after my sister was born both of my parents stopped to say or limited? their interaction with me as my father was having a financial crisis and my mother was handling the medical complications of my sister. The only time my mother will interact with me was when she will be tutoring me and it was always beating the shit out of me so much that I pissed myself also albeit I was only 6 or 7 years old.
2. I do not even remember my childhood with my family aside from all the scolding and beating. It was either in my handwriting or why I wasn't being obedient. Basically, she took her frustration out on me. Then after I turned 12 we moved out of my grandpa's house (it's common in India to live in joint families) and also my mother got pregnant with my 2nd sibling now I was nearing my end sem in 6th grade and it happened so that my mum asked me a question I knew the answer to it but couldn't recite it so she took my badminton racket and beat with me it until it broke. It was a birthday gift from my grandfather so I liked it a lot. This above was one instance that I remember very boldly. There are a lot of other instances also like a lot of them that I remember whether similar to it or worse.
3. Now the pandemic hits so we move to another state in India where my father got a job. Now here is the interesting part. My mother finished her psychology degree here (she decided to learn psychology due to my sister and started practicing) and this time around my grandma passed away so grandpa moved in with us my mother didn't like it and apparently due to the pandemic she herself was dealing with depression and some other issues then she just bursts into flames one day. My grandpa moved away to my uncles' house and my father also moved away to a different city for his job while I and my mum with sister stayed here for high school during pandemic my parents almost got divorced it was so bad that every weekend my father will come to the home there will be bickering and shouting ) to escape I got addicted to porn and masturbation.
4. She started this with me also. I am a very laid-back type of guy someone who avoids fighting and argument like the plague even if it used to take a lot of shit to get me angry but since 2022 October every time I hear my mother shouting doesn't matter what topic or to whom she is shouting. I get enraged like the next level I will just march towards her and start shouting at her to keep the fuck down. In the meantime, I also got into my very first relationship which was very good tbh it lasted 3 months but ended very abruptly in 3 months. My mother found out about my girlfriend at that time by searching my phone secretly and she was again enraged like why am I talking to a girl like this? I hate this and I have told my mom countless times that when it comes to my relationships she has no authority over me. She gets pissed off over this fact. Since then if I had any views that opposed her I would be called an idiot and bookish knowledge reader. By this time I had started to argue back with her pointing out her faults and what shit she did to me then she would go on to do whataboutism and in the end, it was I who had to make up to her and apologize. To this day she hasn't even acknowledged that what happened to me was bad it always like "Understand that I was also suffering at that time". She has started personal attacks on me whenever she gets angry she will hurl extremely personal insults like you deserve no friends, you do not deserve to be born, etc. I do not buy any expensive items like nothing I did not go out much (movies and all otherwise I had a good social life ). I did not demand any useless things or branded clothes or watches like a normal teen but then also she called me a waste of money [ incident from yesterday we were in the mall and she bought me a pair of shoes for 12k rupees now in India you get excellent quality shoes for at max 3k so she started saying You didn't perform well in entrance exam still I bought you expensive shoes like okay I didn't want these shoes you took me to the store and asked me which one would I like, I was going for the cheaper option but you insisted that I buy these]
5. Every festival in my house for the past 4 years has been shit it's always shouting and bickering with her. I have started to hate her. My father never bought me expensive shit or over-the-top candies and stuff and I am thankful for it but he is doing it for my kid sister which flips out my mom calling her a spoiled kid like mum she is a 7-year-old she is meant to be spoiled. But whenever my mom screams at her for studies I imagine my 6-year-old self crying and asking her to stop hitting me and when I protest this treatment of my sister I get called a failure ( I am an average student).
6. I have become emotionally numb, Due to entrances I have become personality-less. I used to enjoy AAA games now I can not play them due to studying. I used to go to the gym and I improved my back and shoulders so much that it corrected my posture but now it's been a year since I went to the gym and all the progress has been lost and I have gotten fat which I never was but am now. I can not focus on anything. I like to just sit at my laptop and surf through 3-4 websites for 12 hours a day. I have brain fog. I do not have the will to study anymore. I just want to run away and never contact my mom. There is so much to tell but I do not know how to express it. When I told her I hated her she said to me to stop holding grudges against her, Her classic getaway is to order some takeout but never ever apologize or accept that she is at fault. I have also developed the same issues I have become so arrogant in regards to that no one knows more than me. I hate the fact she beat the hell out of me for 15 years of my life and that also stopped because one day I ran away to my grandparent's house and they had to call the police to find me. Why the fuck I was born? I feel no emotions except emptiness and rage. Was I an investment plan or some shit? Ki today we will put X amount in your education then you support us through our old age. My mom also hates my father in the regards that he did not stand up for her against my grandparents ( I also do not like this fact) but will convince my mother he loves her in private but but that's the same thing she does to me whenever I say you are not emotionally supportive she says we give you money and support your choice what hell supposed more we have to do? It's like despite her being a professional therapist she still fucking doesn't realize that I need help and always dismisses me.
7. What can I do to improve my mental health and focus and will to study as I have college entrances? I am just tired of everything life music etc. I have not drive or will to do anything.

I remember a series with 4? girls who would alternate as the main character. They would travel in time by wearing clothing from a trunk or chest in an attic—it might have been one of their neighbor’s attics? Anyone remember this?
Edited to add: this was a children’s or YA series. I read it in 4th or 5th grade.

For context, when I started working at my current job, we had annual evals where if you did well on your eval, you got a $1 hourly raise. Two years in a row I got my raise, because working here WAS worth it back then. Thing is, the company exchanged hands and we are now owned by a corporation. Needless to say, ALL of our work perks and incentive programs were dismantled and disposed of.
Fast-forward several years later to post-pandemic. We are always understaffed, we get abysmally low hours, and when we do get some shifts we are doing the collective job of 5 people each because once again purposely understaffed.
Management is lazy and refuse to do their own jobs, spending all of their time with their radios off hiding in the count room with the safe. Where all the money is.
Most recently, we got a new quarterly evals program. They grade our work performance based on what they observe, then hand you a sheet with the grading scale on it. The new incentive to do well on these evals?
None. Just the vague threat of "actions will be taken". THERE IS LITERALLY NO REWARD FOR DOING WELL ON THESE EVALS. NO RAISE, NO NOTHING.
They graded me as "beginner" in ALL departments despite me working there for 9 years and knowing full well what my job is. I ask them to explain my low scores and holy shit.
I had to put my foot down due to pervasive negligence on managements' part and I refuse to take certain shifts for my mental health. They said they will be giving low evals until I decide to return to those shifts. IDK how legal that is, but it doesn't feel like it.
EDIT: The job pays minimum wage, no benefits of any kind, and only 10 - 16 hours a week.

I'm a Windows user with an iPhone. (So shoot me, I don't have a choice.)
And I use Notes constantly as my daily scratchpad. But I need something with a decent web interface.
At my desk, I would like to be able to go into notes and edit things there and copy and paste to and from Notes. But the web interface to iCloud notes is freaking AWFUL. It lacks the most basic editing capabilities, like being able to drag selected bits of text around, move paragraphs up and down with hotkeys, etc.
Aesthetically, it looks like it was last updated in 2003.
Am I missing something? Is it better on a Mac with Safari?
Or am I just ranting?

Hey guys! I’m new to color grading and editing photos and had a couple questions. To start off I’m a fan of this band and there album photos always seem to be highly edited and color graded as seen above.
