Pastry school in kendall fl

I'm hoping the attorneys here might help, but I'm expecting to be out of luck. I've shared my story in a comment late last week, but I think sharing as new might be easier for documentation.
In 2022, my Navient private loans were at (over? - I can't remember specifically) 10%. It was getting tough to afford and any sort of relief was looking less and less likely, lots of comments (not necessarily here, but other financial/student loan groups) were suggesting to refinance. I tried to hold off as late as I could hoping this would develop into something, but 10% was my limit. Anyway... I ended up refinancing with another loan servicer in 2022. Based on this happening alone, I expected Navient to do absolutely nothing for me.
However... after seeing this application come about in this sub-reddit, I was getting pretty upset. Navient really screwed me as well as the school I attended. I attended The International Academy of Design & Technology, which changed names to Stafford-Brown College years after I graduated. The school pushed me towards private loans, telling me I had exhausted my limit for federal loans. I believe this was a lie because when reviewing my information in the last couple of years since filling out my BD application and seeing a large portion of money I could borrow - this was before my federal loans were forgiven. The other thing that pissed me off was that we specifically asked not to take a Parent PLUS loan out because my single mother couldn't afford it. Guess what, they snuck the paperwork in for the Parent Plus loan in a large packet and did the whole "sign here, here, here, and here" thing and said it was to secure the loans. Didn't even mention the Parent loan was mixed in there. So I paid that myself... And unfortunately, I didn't think to file a separate BD application for this until AFTER the deadline to be full class, so this is a post class application. Also because I paid it off years ago, it wasn't a thought. And the first application I filed (this was post class (not under DeVos) was immediately denied because it was paid off, so I filed a 2nd one and noted that I was hoping to be considered full class for refund considering I filed a one for my other loans already and cited my case number. Last I checked (long time ago) it was still pending.
I attended IADT from 2003-2007. My private loans were initially Sallie Mae, then moved to Navient. Under both servicers, I struggled to pay and they only options they gave me were deferment or interest only payments. I had since exhausted my ability to defer and even when interest reached 10% in 2022, they only offered deferment (well, not really because they told me I exhausted that) or interest only payments. Which is also why I refinanced elsewhere. Long story short, since 2007 when I was required to begin making payments, I have paid 2-3 times what I borrowed on my loans and still owed half as of 2022.
CFPB
Since learning about the misconduct application and a recommendation to file a CFPB complaint to be able to apply, I tried it. I basically asked to be able to apply like anyone else and if the application proves that I was a victim, I asked for Navient to buy my loans back from my new servicer and treat my case like any other. I didn't expect they would do this, but worth trying, right? About a week later, they responded basically saying that because my loans are paid in full and they are no longer my servicer, I am not eligible for the application. I mean, it makes sense on the surface. But it does NOT excuse them taking such advantage of me nor does it discount the fact I was a victim of fraud. I have 60 days to provide feedback to my CFPB response, but the case is closed. Feedback is only used to help improve the process, not affect my complaint outcome in any way.
Side note - Since 2007, probably a few years later, I had reached out to 1-2 lawyers about suing, but no one wanted to touch it nor did I know who or how to really approach any of this legally. One was already suing IADT in Florida (I'm in Illinois) and I only reached out to that one or even knew about it because it showed up on a news article. Initially, when I reached out, the lawyer said they would include me and expand the case outside of Florida. A while later, they rescinded and said they couldn't help me. I'm not even sure if the case in FL went anywhere.
I also discovered during my BD application process when looking for evidence that in 2019, like 49 states sued CEC (the parent company of IADT) and settled by stopping all of the loans for their schools. I was not informed or included in this settlement and I don't know why. Here's 1 article discussing it - https://www.npr.org/2019/01/03/682057881/nearly-180-000-students-wont-have-to-repay-loans-from-for-profit-higher-ed-compa I had reached out to my state's AG twice to inquire about this and why I wasn't included. The 1st time, they basically said "What case?" and acted like they had no idea what I was talking about and ignored me afterwards. The 2nd time I got no response. So... I'm not sure what this settlement even entailed. I also checked all of the boxes for the Navient settlement before SvC except that I was not in default. Had I been in default, I would have found relief in that settlement. So... yeah, striking out here.

1. Auburn - 5.0 miles

13. Mississippi State - 153 miles
14. Missouri - 157 miles
15. Ole Miss - 178 miles
16. LSU - 223 miles

All distances were gathered using Google Maps driving directions from each Stadium to the nearest Buc-ee’s sorting by lowest mileage vs shortest drive time. There may be some slight fluctuations due to traffic conditions from the time these numbers were obtained which means there might be wiggle room in the rankings for Arkansas, Oklahoma, Miss State, and maybe Missouri if anyone wants to attempt the drive themselves to confirm.
Auburn retains their status as the only SEC school with a Buc-ee’s in the same city. Although, I do give at least a few points to Tennessee for their proximity to the Sevierville location which is currently holding the title of The Largest Gas Station in the World. Only LSU is more than 200 miles away from fresh brisket on the board.
Updated to account for the Springfield, MO and Daytona Beach, FL Locations which reshapes the entire landscape.
(If anyone from Buc-ee’s corporate sees this please take my suggestion to include a complete map of stores on the website as an alternate view to the location list. It would make road trip planning and college sports shitposting much easier)

So, to begin I am 19 years old who is going to attempt College again. I graduated early from high school for one main reason. I wanted to leave as soon as possible. I hated high-school. The moment I graduated I applied to college, I know that I could have taken college classes in high school for free but no one was helpful and they kept throwing me around to different teachers so I gave up. I took 2 Spring classes and was taking about 5 in Fall. The major I was in was Baking and Pastry Arts. I regret it. I dropped out of all my classes in the Fall. I skipped Spring semester because I had no idea what I wanted to do and now this Summer I will be returning but for a completely different major. I will be enrolled in Accounting for an Associates degree. Now here is the problem I had Fafsa at the time, since I dropped out of 5 classes I am on SAP suspension and will have trouble getting approved for a repeal. I am trying to apply to many scholarships but no luck there. In reality I've been applying for scholarships since Freshman of High school and I've yet to be granted any scholarships. Any Advice? Much Appreciated 🥲

My boyfriend [23] and I [21] have been dating for about 7 months. He has celiac disease, and he's adamant on there being no gluten not only in the kitchen but any part of the property in his future home. Baking bread has been a huge hobby of mine for years, I've spent so much time getting better and better to give great homemade pastries and breads to the people I love.
On one of our first dates he asked me if I'd be happy if he bought us a separate kitchen in the home, and I said in response "Of course not, that wouldn't make sense." He wanted to make me happy, but he's changed his mind and realized it's something he wouldn't want. It didn't fully hit me what giving up gluten would mean to me before a friend offered me a spot in pretzel- making class at the King Arthur Baking school. I realized, what is the point in taking the class when it's a hobby I'm going to have to give up entirely. I said no, when I really wanted to say yes.
I asked him if he would forbid me from even buying myself a space separate from the home, like an outside shed with an oven, sink and counter, so that I could continue baking. Even if I did everything possible to prevent any contamination where we actually lived. He was not comfortable with it at all.
I have had my boyfriend over countless times for dinner, breakfast etc., and I've dedicated an oven in my home to baking his food in there. I make him gluten free desserts too. I'm very careful with cross contamination. I'm happy doing what I do now, but I don't know if I can live like I have celiac disease, the way he wants me to. Knowing there's a time limit on me baking bread, pizzas, pastries, for myself and the people I love, is so so hard for me. It is such a huge part of my identity.
I guess I'm making this post because I'm specifically wondering if it's something I should sacrifice. He does so much for me, he treats me so well, and I thought love comes with huge sacrifices. My family loves him. But every time I bake something for my friends and family, it makes me sad. I know that there are gluten free baking recipes, but the process and result is just not the same. I want to give him the best gluten free dishes I can make, but I also want to continue giving away the pastries my friends and family love.
tldr, I don't know if it worth sacrificing a huge my identity because of my boyfriend's celiac disease.
edit: for those not reading/misreading my post: i asked him if he would let me build a small kitchen separate from the home. i never asked him if i could prepare gluten foods in the same place he eats/prepares food.

They are also studying at a school, and the girl is somehow in love with a guy with red hair, but she changed and no longer likes him and now the red hair guy is jealous whenever the other male lead is with the fl.

How does one continue this military journey. I met a really good friend on our way to BMT from FL. We had the same job we went through Tech School together. We were always together on the weekends hanging out along side with three other friends from BMT. Even though we are stationed far apart we still kept and touch. If anyone has similar experiences please share I’m not even a year in my base. This isn’t my first time having my “resiliency training” being put in to use while I’ve been in the Air Force. Starting to feel there’s a series of bad events on standby waiting to happen to me since I joined the military. It’s starting to feel like a curse. It’s hard to be everywhere at once when I’m stationed overseas away from everyone I love back in stateside.

I want to get a rough idea of the feasibility of med school for me, will apply next year cycle for Fall 2026 start. Here are my stats with some extrapolation.
3.11 BS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech, 2008
?.?? 1 year of AI PhD at University of Central Floria, 2009
4.0 60 credits of Prereqs/medical field certs at Eastern Florida State College, 2024-2025
1 Conference Proceedings Publication in Neural Networks with 100+ citations
511 MCAT (I typically score 80th+ percentile on SAT, GRE etc)
350 Clinical Experience from paid Clinical Assistant at Orthopedic practice
150 Non-clinical Volunteering (Habitat from Humanity)
50 Shadowing (gastro, urgent care, ortho)
4 LORS (2 academic, 1 research, 1 doctor I work with)
150 Research (this is most iffy but I'm meeting with undergrad research coordinator in Fall)
I'm pretty confident I can get a 4.0 since I do well in school, in undergrad I just never cared about my GPA, which was stupid since I ended up deciding to go to grad school ha. Also Tech is kinda hard, I made Dean's List more often than not and even with just a 3.0 one semester.
I'll be casting a wide net, I'm IS FL so all those schools, plus the Caribbean and whatever else has good acceptance numbers, maybe I'll throw in some stretch schools but I don't think I will have much of a chance. DO is OK. Not sure if it matters but I'm 38 male and white.

"L-Awstralja tipprova twaqqaf epidemija ta’ vjolenza fuq in-nisa, ibda mill-iskejjel
""Allura, ejja nitkellmu dwar il-porn,"" jgħid Ethan West lill-klassi tal-adoloxxenti Awstraljani. Ħafna jidhru kemmxejn skomdi. Kollha huma kwieti b'mod mhux karatteristiku.
""Kun videos pornografiċi jibdew b'relazzjoni fejn l-atturi jitkellmu dwar sentimenti jew kunsens?"" ikompli hu. Aktar silenzju.
Fil-Kellyville High School, fit-tramuntana ta’ Sydney, din hija biss konverżazzjoni waħda delikata li ż-żgħażagħ ta’ 15-il sena se jkollhom illum.
Minn ċajt sessisti u kontroll koerċittiv għal attakk sesswali u attakki brutali mnebbħa mill-għira - m'hemmx wisq limiti fuq il-programm Love Bites li l-karità nazzjonali Napcan tat lil eluf ta' studenti.
It-titlu ta’ “edukazzjoni ta’ relazzjoni rispettuża” jinstema’ xi ftit. Iżda qed jitwassal fi sfond ta’ vjolenza fuq in-nisa f’dan il-pajjiż li ġie msejjaħ bħala “kriżi nazzjonali”. Fil-qalba tagħha: tipprova tbiddel l-attitudnijiet u l-imġieba li kkontribwew għal dik il-kultura.
Il-qtil ta’ sikkina ta’ profil għoli ta’ sitt persuni fiċ-ċentru kummerċjali Bondi Junction f’Sydney ix-xahar li għadda – li fih il-pulizija qalet li deher “ovvju” li l-attakkant Joel Cauchi kien fil-mira tan-nisa – ġab il-kwistjoni f’fokus aktar qawwi.
Fix-xahar minn dakinhar, mill-inqas tliet nisa Awstraljani ġew maqtula, allegatament minn sieħba jew eks.
S’issa din is-sena, 28 mara nqatlu b’mod vjolenti fl-Awstralja, skont il-grupp tal-kampanja Destroy the Joint li jmexxi l-proġett Counting Dead Women. Fl-istess punt is-sena l-oħra kien 15.
Fl-2023, 64 mara nqatlu minn xi ħadd magħruf minnhom. Fir-Renju Unit, pajjiż b’aktar mid-doppju tal-popolazzjoni, in-numru kien 100, skont il-proġett Counting Dead Women fir-Renju Unit.
Ġimagħtejn ilu, għexieren ta’ eluf ta’ nies madwar l-Awstralja ħadu sehem f’marċi li talbu biex il-vjolenza sessista tiġi ddikjarata emerġenza nazzjonali.
Shirya
Shriya ħadet sehem f’workshop fl-iskola sekondarja tagħha fit-tramuntana ta’ Sydney
“Għal mara żagħżugħa li qed tikber fl-Awstralja hija tal-biża’, li tkun taf li dawn l-affarijiet qed iseħħu,” tgħid l-istudenta Shriya, li tisma’ b’attenzjoni fuq wara tal-klassi hekk kif il-grupp jingħata karti żgħar b’dikjarazzjonijiet bħal “ugwaljanza”, “slut- shaming"" u ""jibgħat nudes mhux mixtieqa"".
Huma mitluba jpoġġu l-frażijiet tul linja ta’ masking tape fuq l-art – immarkati “kultura ta’ rispett u kunsens” f’tarf wieħed, u “kultura ta’ vjolenza u abbuż” fuq in-naħa l-oħra.
""Aħseb fil-linja llum bħala metafora għas-sentiment tal-imsaren tiegħek,"" tgħid Tara Gleig, uffiċjal ta 'appoġġ għall-istudenti li qed tgħin biex tmexxi Love Bites. ""Ġismek se jgħidlek meta xi ħaġa ma tkunx sew. Irrid li inti tkun tista 'tkun taf fejn dak.""
Bħala kuntistabbli anzjan mal-Pulizija ta’ New South Wales, l-esperjenza ta’ Ethan West li jattendi telefonati għall-vjolenza domestika ġegħlitu jixtieq jirranġa dik li jsejjaħ “epidemija”.
Ethan Punent
Il-ħidma flimkien se tagħmel differenza, jgħid il-Kuntistabbli Anzjan Ethan West
""Kull żewġ minuti pulizija tissejjaħ għal sitwazzjoni ta 'vjolenza domestika fl-Awstralja,"" jgħid. U jaħseb li għall-ġenerazzjoni żagħżugħa, il-vjolenza domestika tinsab fuq “kamp ta’ battalja ġdid”.
""Kollox fuq l-internet - hemm stalking, fastidju. U ħafna mill-problemi tar-relazzjonijiet huma l-bgħit ta' immaġini intimi. Iż-żgħażagħ qed jaqsmu ritratti nudi l-ħin kollu. Ir-relazzjoni tista' tispiċċa u jinqasam ma' ħaddieħor. Dik hija vjolenza domestika reat.""
Għal Kya ta’ 16-il sena, li ħadet sehem f’Love Bites sena ilu, li trabbet fl-Awstralja tħalliha “fuq it-tarf” – mhux biss it-theddida ta’ vjolenza iżda l-mikro-aggressjonijiet ta’ ċajt sessista u sensazzjoni li hija inqas apprezzata. mis-subien fil-klassi u l-komunità tagħha.
""Hemm ħafna avvanzi ġodda fis-soċjetà, iżda din għadha xi ħaġa li qed isseħħ,"" tgħid. ""Għandek xi ħadd li jagħmel kumment sessist [imma] tassew mhuwiex daqshekk diffiċli li tevolvi minnu.""
Hija taħseb li aktar subien fil-grupp tas-sena tagħha jeħtieġ li ""jżidu"", għalkemm xi wħud huma impenjati b'mod ċar li jagħmlu aktar.
Iżaija
Izaiah jgħid li t-tagħlim dwar il-vjolenza fir-relazzjoni hija ""parti kbira minn meta tikber bħala żagħżugħ Awstraljan""
“Bħala raġel, inħoss il-ħtieġa li nkun aktar maskili, aktar b’saħħtu,” jgħid Izaiah – l-aktar ċatt mis-subien fis-sessjoni li nosservaw.
""Il-vjolenza fir-relazzjoni hija serja ħafna. It-tagħlim dwarha huwa parti kbira ħafna mit-tkabbir bħala żagħżugħ Awstraljan.""
Iżda huwa diffiċli li ssib il-bidla. 10 snin ilu, iben Rosie Batty, Luke, inqatel minn missieru, Greg Anderson. Is-Sinjura Batty kompliet saret waħda mill-aqwa kampanji tal-pajjiż kontra l-vjolenza fil-familja, iżda l-konversazzjoni nazzjonali ta’ spiss reġgħet bdiet minn inċidenti devastanti ulterjuri.
Dawn jinkludu l-qtil tal-adoloxxenti Jack u Jennifer Edwards, li kienu sparati minn missierhom John Edwards fl-2018; il-qtil ta' Hannah Clarke u t-tliet uliedha żgħar, li l-karozza tagħhom inħarqet minn żewġha mbiegħda Rowan Baxter fl-2020; u l-qtil tas-sena l-oħra taż-żagħżugħa Lilie James minn Paul Thijssen, li magħha hija kellha relazzjoni qasira.
Għalhekk filwaqt li l-mewġa reċenti ta’ vjolenza kontra n-nisa applikat pressjoni fuq il-gvernijiet statali u federali biex jagħmlu aktar, is-sejħa tal-Prim Ministru Anthony Albanese għall-bidla fis-soċjetà kollha hija familjari b’mod allarmanti.
Hekk ukoll huma tħassib ieħor. Nuqqas ta’ appoġġ għas-saħħa mentali, approċċi tal-pulizija storikament inadegwati għall-ilmenti ta’ vjolenza domestika, u r-rappreżentazzjoni żejda ta’ Awstraljani Indiġeni kemm bħala awturi kif ukoll vittmi ta’ vjolenza fil-familja huma biss tlieta mill-kwistjonijiet li jqumu għal darb’oħra.
""Fl-aħħar tal-ġurnata, l-edukazzjoni taż-żgħażagħ u dan il-programm li jidħol fl-iskejjel huwa biċċa waħda minn puzzle kbir ħafna,"" tgħid Tara Gleig. ""Biex tkun tista' tagħmel bidla u [tagħmel] dik il-kultura ġenerazzjonali, bidla fis-soċjetà, trid tkun approċċ kollaborattiv.""
Taħt il-floodlights ta’ grawnd tal-futbol tar-Regoli Awstraljan kiesaħ Fis-subborgi ta’ ġewwa ta’ Melbourne, programm komunitarju ieħor qed jipprova jagħmel dan. Iridu jinjettaw bidla fil-porzjon forsi l-aktar tradizzjonalment macho tas-soċjetà Awstraljana - il-qasam sportiv.
Matthew Holmes f'ritratt f'klabb tal-futbol tar-Regoli Awstraljan
Matthew Holmes huwa wieħed mill-plejers li qed igawdu minn kultura li qed tinbidel fil-klabb ta' West Brunswick
“Jien kont nilgħab il-footy minn meta kont żgħir,” jgħid Matthew Holmes, li fl-età ta’ 38 sena sema’ ħafna jitkellmu dwar il-locker room. ""Jien kont f'timijiet fejn kien blokey ħafna - li fih innifsu kien tajjeb - iżda kellu t-tendenza li jiddevolva, speċjalment ladarba tkun involut l-alkoħol.""
Huwa ferm aktar ferħan li issa qed jilgħab ma’ West Brunswick, klabb li ilu kważi seklu iżda li seba’ snin ilu nieda tim tan-nisa, u laħaq id-domanda tal-plejers nisa. Il-bidla bil-mod, u deliberatament ħafna, bidlet il-kultura hemmhekk.
Qed jinbnew kmamar tat-tibdil ġodda biex ikunu aktar inklużivi, u ġabu wkoll xi għajnuna minn barra.
“Ħafna nisa u nies b’diversi sessi qed jixtiequ jilagħbu sport u qed jidħlu f’klabbs li huma tradizzjonalment iddominati mill-irġiel,” jgħid Dominic Alford ta’ Relationships Australia Victoria, li l-inizjattiva tiegħu Healthy Clubs qed tipprova tindirizza l-vjolenza tal-ġeneru permezz tal-isport.
""Hija daqsxejn ta' sfida għal dawk il-klabbs li jagħmlu l-bidla biex jinkludu dawk in-nies. Nitkellmu dwar relazzjonijiet ta' rispett u bini ta' reżiljenza sabiex ikunu jistgħu joħorġu u jkollhom dawk il-konversazzjonijiet ma' xulxin fil-klabbs sportivi tagħhom iżda wkoll fil-ħajja personali tagħhom u fil-komunità tagħhom”.
Jgħid li l-aħħar ġimgħat ta’ aħbarijiet dwar il-qtil ta’ profil għoli ta’ nisa fl-Awstralja raw daqqa ta’ mistoqsijiet minn klabbs sportivi u wkoll mill-postijiet tax-xogħol.
Kristy de Pellegrini
Kristy de Pellegrini tilgħab ukoll f’West Brunswick
Hija personali ħafna għal Kristy de Pellegrini, li tiftakar iż-żgħir tagħha madwar il-klabbs tal-futbol. ""Aħna lgħabna netball u mexxa l-canteen u għamilna l-impjiegi l-oħra kollha madwar il-post. Il-guys ltqajna jilagħbu footy u dak kien."" Issa tilgħab għal wieħed mit-tliet timijiet tan-nisa tal-West Brunswick.
Sieħbu Nahkita Wolfe ta’ 11-il sena qalulha li kellha tieqaf tilgħab il-futbol tar-Regoli Awstraljani għax kienet tifla.
""Il-kultura Awstraljana u l-identità Awstraljana huma hekk definiti mill-isport,"" tgħid. ""Hija xi ħaġa li tgħaqqadna, hija xi ħaġa li tgħaqqadna, iżda madankollu... għal nofs il-popolazzjoni ħafna drabi ma nkunux milqugħa f'dawk il-komunitajiet u dan ovvjament huwa tassew ta' dwejjaq.""
Huwa kasm li jilgħab fi problema ħafna akbar.
""Int titkellem ma 'kwalunkwe mara, inkunu nistgħu ngħidulek dwar esperjenzi ta' attakk sesswali, vjolenza domestika, affarijiet differenti li esperjenzaw u jien mhux eċċezzjoni,"" tgħid Nahkita.
""Ħafna mill-esperjenzi li kelli kienu relatati ma' rġiel li setgħu jaħarbu minnha, għax dejjem setgħu joħorġu minn kollox għax huma tajbin fl-isport.""
Nahkita Wolfe
Nahkita Wolfe issa qed jerġa’ jilgħab il-futbol tar-Regoli Awstraljani – wara li qalulhom biex tieqaf ta’ 11-il sena
Il-bidla kienet bil-mod - iżda hemm moviment.
“Żgur li kien hemm xi kummenti li f’dawn il-jiem ma tibqax tgħaddi – affarijiet bħal ‘il-bniet ma jistgħux tilgħab il-footy’ jew ‘int tilgħab bħal tfajla’” jgħid Conor Fowler ta’ 26 sena, li ilu jilgħab l-Awstraljan. Jirregola l-futbol minn meta kien tifel.
""In-nies qed [issa] jistaqsu mistoqsija meta jistgħu jisimgħu xi ħaġa - allura xi tfisser b'dan? U sempliċement mistoqsija sempliċi bħal dik iġġiegħel lin-nies jirriflettu fuq dak li qalu.""
Filwaqt li din il-mewġa reċenti ta’ vjolenza ġabet lin-nies jaħsbu dwar kif issolvi l-problema, dawk li jaħdmu fl-ispazju tal-vjolenza tal-ġeneru jgħidu li proġetti ffinanzjati mill-gvern mhumiex kura għal kollox.
""Il-flus huma dejjem importanti iżda din hija kwistjoni ta' kulħadd,"" jgħid il-Kuntistabbli Anzjan tal-Punent. ""Jekk kulħadd jagħti s-sehem tiegħu ma jimpurtax kemm jintefgħu flus fuqha - jekk ilkoll naħdmu fuq dan flimkien se nagħmlu differenza. L-ebda flus ma jista' jsolvi problema li mhux biżżejjed nies qed jieħdu u kampjonat.""

"澳洲試圖從學校開始製止針對婦女的暴力行為
「那麼，我們來談談色情吧，」伊森·韋斯特對澳洲青少年的課堂說。大多數看起來都有點尷尬。一切都異常安靜。
“有沒有色情影片以演員談論感情或同意的關係開始？”他繼續。更多的沉默。
在雪梨北部的凱利維爾高中，這只是 15 歲孩子們今天要進行的一場棘手的對話。
從性別歧視笑話和強制控製到性侵犯和嫉妒引發的殘酷攻擊——國家慈善機構 Napcan 向數千名學生提供的 Love Bites 計劃沒有太多限制。
「尊重關係教育」這個標題聽起來有點平淡。但它是在這個被貼上「國家危機」標籤的國家針對婦女的暴力行為的背景下提出的。其核心是：試圖改變促成這種文化的態度和行為。
上個月，雪梨Bondi Junction 購物中心發生了備受矚目的六人暗殺案，警方表示，襲擊者喬爾·考奇(Joel Cauchi) 的目標似乎「明顯」是針對女性，這讓這一問題變得更加引人注目。
此後一個月內，至少有三名澳洲女性被謀殺，據稱是被伴侶或前任謀殺。
據負責「清點女性死亡人數」計畫的「摧毀聯合組織」稱，今年迄今為止，澳洲已有 28 名女性遭到暴力殺害。去年同期為 15。
2023 年，64 名女性被她們認識的人殺害。英國這個人口是其兩倍以上的國家，根據英國「清點死亡女性」計畫的數據，這一數字為 100 人。
兩週前，澳洲各地數萬人參加遊行，呼籲宣布性別暴力進入國家緊急狀態。
希里亞
Shriya 參加了在雪梨北部的高中舉辦的研討會
「對於一個在澳洲長大的年輕女性來說，知道這些事情正在發生是很可怕的，」學生施裡亞說。 「平等」、「蕩婦——羞辱」和「發送不需要的裸照」。
他們被要求將這些短語沿著地板上的一排膠帶貼上——一端貼上「尊重和同意文化」的標籤，另一端貼上「暴力和虐待文化」的標籤。
「把今天這句話看作是你直覺的隱喻，」幫助經營 Love Bites 的學生支援官員 Tara Gleig 說。 “當出現問題時，你的身體會告訴你。我希望你能夠知道問題出在哪裡。”
作為新南威爾斯州警察局的高級警員，伊森·韋斯特接聽家庭暴力電話的經歷讓他想要解決他所說的「流行病」。
伊森·韋斯特
高級警員伊森‧韋斯特 (Ethan West) 表示，共同努力將會帶來改變
「在澳大利亞，每兩分鐘就有警察接到電話處理家庭暴力情況，」他說。而他認為，對年輕一代來說，家庭暴力已經上了一個「新戰場」。
「一切都在網路上——有跟蹤、騷擾。人際關係的許多問題都是發送親密圖像。年輕人總是分享裸照。這段關係可能會結束，然後被分享給其他人。這是家庭暴力罪行。 」
對於一年前參加 Love Bites 的 16 歲女孩 Kya 來說，在澳洲長大讓她「緊張不安」——不僅是暴力威脅，還有性別歧視笑話的微侵犯，以及她感覺自己不受重視的感覺比她班上和社區裡的男孩還要多。
「社會有很多新的進步，但這仍然是正在發生的事情，」她說。 “有人發表性別歧視評論，但其實要擺脫它並不難。”
她認為她所在年級的更多男孩需要“站出來”，儘管有些男孩顯然致力於做得更多。
以賽亞
伊扎亞表示，了解關係暴力是“澳洲青少年成長的重要組成部分”
「身為一個男人，我覺得需要變得更有男子氣概，更堅強，」伊札亞說，他是我們觀察到的會議中最健談的男孩。
“關係暴力非常嚴重。了解它是澳大利亞青少年成長過程中非常重要的一部分。”
然而改變卻很難實現。 10年前，羅西·巴蒂的兒子盧克被父親格雷格·安德森殺害。巴蒂女士後來成為該國反對家庭暴力的頂級活動家之一，但全國性的討論經常因進一步的破壞性事件而重新引發。
其中包括青少年傑克愛德華茲 (Jack Edwards) 和珍妮佛愛德華茲 (Jennifer Edwards) 於 2018 年被父親約翰愛德華茲 (John Edwards) 槍殺的謀殺案； 2020 年，漢娜·克拉克 (Hannah Clarke) 和她的三個孩子被殺害，她們的汽車被她分居的丈夫羅恩·巴克斯特 (Rowan Baxter) 縱火焚燒；去年，年輕女子莉莉詹姆斯 (Lilie James) 被保羅泰森 (Paul Thijssen) 謀殺，她與保羅泰森 (Paul Thijssen) 曾有過一段短暫的關係。
因此，儘管最近針對婦女的暴力浪潮給州和聯邦政府施加了壓力，要求他們採取更多行動，但總理安東尼·阿爾巴內斯呼籲全社會進行變革的呼籲卻令人震驚地熟悉。
其他問題也是如此。缺乏心理健康支持、警方處理家庭暴力投訴的方式歷來不足，以及澳洲原住民作為家庭暴力的施暴者和受害者的比例過高，只是一再出現的三個問題。
「歸根結底，教育年輕人和進入學校的這個計畫是一個非常非常大的難題的一部分，」塔拉·格萊格說。 “為了能夠做出改變並實現代際文化和社會變革，必須採取協作的方式。”
在墨爾本內郊寒冷的澳洲規則足球場的泛光燈下，另一個社區計畫正試圖做到這一點。他們希望為澳洲社會中最具傳統男子氣概的部分——運動場注入改變。
馬修·霍姆斯在澳洲規則足球俱樂部合影
馬修·霍姆斯是西不倫瑞克俱樂部享受不斷變化的文化的球員之一
「我從小就踢足球，」38 歲的馬修·霍姆斯 (Matthew Holmes) 說道，他聽過很多更衣室裡的談話。 “我所在的團隊都非常混亂——這本身並沒有什麼問題——但這種情況確實會惡化，尤其是當你喝酒的時候。”
他很高興現在能在西布倫瑞克隊踢球，這傢俱樂部已有近一個世紀的歷史，但七年前成立了一支女隊，以滿足女性球員的需求。這種改變慢慢地、非常刻意地改變了那裡的文化。
新的更衣室正在建設中，以更具包容性，他們還引入了一些外部幫助。
澳洲維多利亞州關係協會的多米尼克·奧爾福德表示：「許多女性和不同性別的人都想參加體育運動，她們正在進入傳統上以男性為主的俱樂部。」澳洲維多利亞州關係協會的健康俱樂部該計劃正試圖透過體育來解決性別暴力問題。
「對於這些俱樂部來說，要做出轉變以包容這些人是一個挑戰。我們談論尊重的關係和建立適應力，這樣他們就可以出去在他們的體育俱樂部中相互交談，也可以在他們的個人生活中和在他們的社區。
他說，過去幾週有關澳洲女性被殺事件的頭條新聞引起了體育俱樂部和工作場所的大量詢問。
克里斯蒂·德·佩里格里尼
克里斯蒂·德·佩里格里尼也在西不倫瑞克踢球
這對克里斯蒂·德·佩里格里尼來說是非常私人的事情，她還記得自己年輕時在足球俱樂部度過的時光。 “我們打無板籃球，經營食堂，並做周圍的所有其他工作。這些人必須踢足球，僅此而已。”現在她為西不倫瑞克三支女子球隊之一效力。
隊友納希塔沃爾夫 (Nahkita Wolfe) 11 歲時被告知，她必須停止參加澳式足球，因為她是個女孩。
「澳洲文化和澳洲身份是由體育定義的，」她說。 「這是將我們團結在一起的東西，是將我們聚集在一起的東西，但是......對於一半的人口來說，我們經常不受歡迎進入這些社區，這顯然非常令人痛苦。 」
這是一個鴻溝，卻會引發一個更大的問題。
「你幾乎可以和任何女性交談，我們就能告訴你性侵犯、家庭暴力的經歷，以及她們經歷過的不同事情，我也不例外，」納希塔說。
“我的許多經歷都與那些能夠逃脫懲罰的男人有關，因為他們總是能夠逃脫一切懲罰，因為他們擅長運動。”
納希塔·沃爾夫
納希塔沃爾夫 (Nahkita Wolfe) 在 11 歲時被告知停止踢球後，現在再次參加澳式足球比賽
變化雖然緩慢，但正在改變。
26 歲的康納·福勒(Conor Fowler) 一直在澳大利亞踢球，他說：“現在肯定有一些評論是你不會再走過的——比如'女孩不能踢足球'或'你踢得像個女孩'。
“人們現在可能會聽到一些東西，但他們會問一個問題 - 那麼你這是什麼意思？只是這樣一個簡單的問題就會讓人們反思他們所說的話。”
雖然最近一波的暴力事件讓人們思考如何解決這個問題，但從事性別暴力領域工作的人士表示，政府資助的計畫並不是萬靈藥。
「錢總是很重要，但這是每個人的問題，」高級警官韋斯特說。 “如果每個人都發揮自己的作用，投入多少錢並不重要——如果我們共同努力，我們就會有所作為。沒有錢可以解決沒有足夠多的人解決的問題並冠軍。”

Stats 3.7low, 170, T4-3.5 softs I think, nURM, KJD.
Think I can get into UF of course I want to shoot for T20+, but basically I want to not pay that much and also have as many doors open as possible for me - not just biglaw (but that would be nice). As title says: is UF basically going to keep me in Florida, or will there be a good chance of work outside FL? From this sub I've heard there isn't much of a biglaw presence in FL, and FL isn't on the universal BAR list so there's that as well.
Also bonus question is UF actually the best law school in FL? I would imagine FSU would be good since its so close to the capitol, but alas the rankings have UF higher. Thanks guys

Hey everyone!
I'm currently debating with a decision about my MCAT date and would really appreciate your insights. Here’s the situation:

• Current MCAT Date: June 27, leaving me about 6 weeks (May 15 - June 25) for dedicated study.
• Study Resources: Jack Westin Course, Kaplan Books, UWorld, AAMC materials, and Aiden's Anki deck.
• Application Plan: Applying June 1 to one "throwaway" school to get verified and adding the rest after my scores come back. Planning to pre-write secondaries in July and focus fully on applications in August.
• Background: Canadian, Graduated with a BSc this year 2024, will be doing a "post-bacc" year this 2024/2025 and will graduate with a BA in April 2025 (double degree holder by next year having completed many requirements in first degree). Dual citizen, FL resident. cGPA: 3.5, sGPA: 3.2. Strong ECs (3 research internships, Shadowing 4 specialties, Clinical experience, Community etc), Strong personal statement, and LORs (3-4 MD).
• Concern: Debating whether it's worth taking the MCAT on June 27 due to the short prep time. If I move it to early August, I’ll have more prep time but my application will be complete in September, potentially putting me at a disadvantage. I can Finish Content review within the next 2.5-3 weeks which would leave about 3-3.5 weeks for AAMC & UWorld.

Questions:

1. Is it better to stick with the June date for a possibly lower score (505-510) but earlier application, or aim for a potentially higher score (515+) in August at the cost of a later application?
2. How much can a higher MCAT score offset the disadvantage of a later application timeline, in my case being complete in September?

Your advice will be crucial in helping me make this decision. Thank you all so much in advance for your help!

My husband and I currently live in a suburb near Tampa, Florida in the US. We both grew up and Europe and have the opportunity to move to Spain (visas and jobs are not an issue).
Is anyone able to compare South of Spain (maybe the Málaga region) and Tampa FL in terms of raising a child? We have a one year old and we feel that Spain might offer a more wholesome childhood while the US could offer more opportunities later on, say from high school onwards.
Climate and outdoor activities would be similar I suppose. Schools where we live are supposed to be good though we are yet to try them. Cost of living would probably be lower in Spain.
Some things we like about the Mediterranean are the pace of life, dining out and great food and how family oriented life is there. We'll also be close to family and I like the proximity and easy access to other countries and cultures.
Anyone who has experienced both worlds in terms of raising a child, please share your thoughts :))

Not sure what to put as a tag. Putting this story here because of The Click! He makes my days better.
I went to a highschool with a strict uniform policy, no hoodies, no skinny pants, no jeans, only navy blue pants, wear a belt, shirt tucked in, and more. I was in my junior (3/4) year at this point, so I obviously knew the dresscode. At the time I was curvy but active, I wasnt fat if you paid attention, but I had big hips and thighs. Now, time for the story.
There was a very nice teacher, lets call her Mrs. Brown. She was lovely and favored by many. She was funny, kind, and just amazing. Then there was a different teacher, we'll call her Mrs. Smith. She was cold, dry, boring, and was very quick to call kids out on uniform violations, any time of the day, and send them to the principal's office. Before school? You dont have your shirt tucked in! After school? No hoodies allowed! Etc. Most of her "violations" were told tuck your shirt in/take off your hoodie and go back to class.
I was walking to my homeroom in the morning and at this point it was about 20 minutes before school starts so the hallways are busy, kids and teachers everywhere, etc. I had encountered Mrs. Smith once before when she tried to tell me my sweater had a hood, but it didnt, and I showed her, and she went back to her monitoring. This time, I was walking past her room and I hear "Young lady those pants are skinny jeans! Those are not allowed". For the record, they weren't, they were straight legged. Before I turned around I just decided to mess with her. For the 3 years of middle school i was in drama and theater club, so i knew how to play the part. I turned around and gave her a look like a deer in headlights. She repeated herself. I was silent, and then I started crying. I said I know they look like it but they arent, I'm just fat so they look tight but my mom says they are straight legged so I dont need to buy new pants, she can look at the tag, I'm so sorry, etc. She was unsure what to do. I had claimed they werent, and I was just fat. What was she supposed to do? Sudents and teachers were looking at us. Mrs. Brown (my homeroom teacher) comes walking over because we were maybe 10 feet down the hall and she knew me. I'm still crying. She goes to me and tries to comfort me, I am told by a different student I knew later that Mrs. Brown (who is usually very sweet and cheery) gave Mrs. Smith a very dirty look and Mrs. Smith scurried back into her classroom and shut her door. Mrs. Brown walks me into her room, shuts the door, and hands me a tissue. I just stop crying and she is looking at me like "that was fast" and I start to smile and she just goes "BRITTANY! Do not tell me you just faked that whole ordeal" with a smirk on her face and I say "ok I wont tell you" and smile at her. She starts chuckling, the whole class kind of realizes what happened and some kids ask me questions, everyone finds it very amusing.
Mrs. Brown told me later that a teacher who saw the encounter actually told the principal what had happened and Mrs. Smith was told it was not her job to call students out for their clothes, she was supposed to report it to the principal or vice principal, which is what EVERY other teacher does. For the rest of my time there she never called another student out. I just did it to screw with her, but I'm glad it led to her actions being addressed, so the future students didnt have to deal with that.
Edit: I went to a public school in Kendall, Florida that really tried to appear as a private school. Hence the specific uniform, magnet programs, etc. Besides the bad teachers the school was amazing and i had a great time there. The kind of school where the popular kids were talking with the math club kids about anime. A great place.

Hi everyone! I was looking for some opinions on whether or not I should retake again.
My first attempt I scored a 509 with limited studying. I took it again 3/9 this year and scored a 510 after studying pretty much full time for 4 months.
My goal is/was a 515 and my FL average studying this time around was a 515 so I felt confident going into this last exam. I even felt pretty good after taking my exam.
I’m not sure whether I should go back to studying full time again to raise my score 5 points or keep my 510.
In terms of schools I am aiming to stay somewhere in California (hoping to go to a UC) since that’s where I’m from and for in state tuition but I’m going to be applying everywhere.
Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone I am planning on applying to med school and have a very low gpa
My overall GPA now is a 3.15 cGPA and a 3.4 sGPA
I graduated undergrad in 5 years and had a upward trend, but my fifth year I did quite badly and got a 2.75
I just completed a 34 credit hour DIY post bacc in only upper division science courses and got a 3.9 (all As and one B+)
Currently I’m studying for the MCAT and take it in a little over a month. (512 on first AAMC FL)
Im wondering if you all have any advice on how I can overcome my low GPA. Should I do more undergrad classes or try and do an SMP and excel in it.
I am a ORM, Tennessee student I really would like to go to a school here in Tennessee but will be applying to many more schools.
My GPA is over 200 credits now, so it is always going to be low unfortunately.
I have around 2000 clinical hours, over 1000 leadership, 300 non-clinical volunteering, and 300 research.
Any advice is helpful.

My wife got an automated speeding ticket for speeding in a school zone. It was in GA, and we live in FL. She was visiting a friend. The ticket is timestamped 3:01pm and she asked her friend, and was told that the school zone lights come on at 3:00pm. So we think the light was probably not even flashing when she drove by it; you'd think it would have a built in few minute grace period to account for this.
I think... based on the wording and the fact that the ticket is for me, and not my wife, that I can just mail in a sworn affidavit that I was not the driver at the time. But it's unclear to me if I would then have to show up to a court hearing or not. I think the answer is no, I would not. I have until 6/5 to postmark anything I mail in.
The wording on the ticket makes me think I would have to show up at court regardless of whether I mail in the affidavit. The website where I can view/pay the ticket says

You may submit a sworn and notarized affidavit to court stating that you were not the operator of the vehicle at the time of the alleged violation. This form must be signed, notarized and presented during the Court hearing OR mailed to Court. Click here to download the affidavit.

Alternatively, it sounds like if I just don't pay it, the worse that can happen is I can't register my car in GA if I ever move there in the future, which I don't plan on doing, and even then I think I just pay the fee. It doesn't seem like anything of real consequence would happen.
Thoughts?
