2024.05.14 09:50 Altruisticannon Help with online applications please

Hello, I am an ER nurse with a little over 2 years experience in an ER that is a level 1 trauma center, stroke center, and STEMI center. I’ve been told over and over again by coworkers that this experience should punch my ticket to any other job I want, and yet when I apply to other positions at other hospitals in my area, I’m just hearing crickets.
I’m wondering if any of you have advice on the online application process? To be honest, I have my job now because I was an ED Tech in this ER while I was in school and even getting the tech job, I knew someone who was able to help me out.
I feel like an idiot, but how important is a cover letter for every application? I have fixed up my resume and always upload and include that, but does anyone have some tricks on how to get my online application to stand out? Any help would be appreciated!

2024.05.14 09:47 Kamal-Kant-97 Squirrel Cage Induction Motor

Squirrel Cage Induction Motor
In induction motors there are two types of rotor constructions used i.e. Squirrel Cage Rotor and Slip Ring or Wound Rotor.
Squirrel Cage Induction motor are the induction motor which employ squirrel cage rotor. The application of the squirrel cage rotor makes these types of motor robust and low maintenance operation. The name squirrel cage is derived from its cage-like structure. The working principle of the squirrel cage induction motor is the same as that of the working of induction motor.

Squirrel Cage Rotor Construction

The rotor of an induction motor consists of rotor core and rotor shaft as shown in the given figure.
https://preview.redd.it/hyc1lprrjc0d1.png?width=1723&format=png&auto=webp&s=105b6ddc6bfbc17001914ba0a0902e2e0eaf98e1
The rotor shaft is a cylindrical rod as shown in picture which drives the load by mechanically coupled with them.
The rotor core is a cylindrical stack of thick laminated steel plates. The laminated steel plates are punched together in the form of cylindrical structure to make the core.
In the rotor core slots are provided. Generally, in low rating squirrel cage induction motor closed slots are used while in high rating induction motor semi closed or semi opened slots are preferred.
In squirrel cage rotor aluminium or copper conductor bars are placed in rotor slots instead of winding. These conductor bars are shorted by end-rings at both the ends shown in figure. ( This is the special constructional feature of the squirrel cage rotor).
https://preview.redd.it/0iozgc8vjc0d1.png?width=1636&format=png&auto=webp&s=df37ebaa6b47c8037948847f0a1a30fd96684363
In large squirrel cage induction motor copper bars are used where as in small motor aluminium bar are used.
These conductor bars are inclined or skewed at some angle with respect to the rotor shaft axis. This practice is done to reduce the crawling in the motor.
The use of aluminium or copper conductor bars make these types of rotors robust.

Specifications of squirrel cage induction motor

The rotor of a squirrel cage induction motor is permanently short circuited hence additional resistance cannot be added to the rotor circuit. So, the starting current cannot be controlled by the rotor resistance control starting method that’s why it has high starting current and low starting torque. However, starting current can be controlled by the reduced voltage starting methods on the stator side like Auto Transformer method, Stator Resistance Control method or Star Delta Starting method.
The rotor circuit’s resistance of the squirrel cage induction motor is designed to give excellent running characteristics.
As additional resistance cannot be added to this type of rotor so the rotor resistance control method of speed control cannot be employed on these types of rotor.
Windings are not present in the squirrel cage rotor that's why it has no orientation of poles. Means they don't have their own poles. But this type of rotor automatically creates the image of stator poles and can react to any number of poles. That’s why the pole changing method of speed control can be employed effectively on this type of motor.

2024.05.14 09:44 EyeComplex78 Is it possible to file for an appeal even though I wasn't able to submit my requirements during the application period? (UST-Med)

Hi! I took the NMAT last October and unfortunately, I wasn't able to get my desired PR. Sort of lost hope that's why I gave up on submitting all the requirements during the application period ++ I didn't have the money to pay for the application fee back then so I just gave up.
I regret doing so because I've been scrolling for hours on Reddit and found out that it's actually possible to get into UST medicine through reconsideration. I also found out that they will be reopening the forms this May 20 for the applicants who will be filing for an appeal.
Would it be possible to file for an appeal despite not being able to submit my requirements during the application period? (I have a reference number)
I've set my mind on other schools already but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try since I really want to get into UST med and I retook the NMAT a few days ago, I believe I did much better than the first time.

2024.05.14 09:43 Thenn_Applicant Dorian Merryweather, Lord of Longtable + AC

**Reddit Account:** u/Thenn_Applicant
**Discord Tag:** Garin
**Name and House:** Dorian Merryweather
**Age:** 49
**Cultural Group:** Reachman
**Appearance:** Dorian's chestnut brown hair has been greying for quite a while, however is short beard retains more color, including a few stray red hairs peppered throughout it. While his features have softened and gained some pudge as he aged past his prime, he remains in overall good shape. This is partly due to his great love of gardening and crop cultivation, which have left his hands and nails rather rough.
**Trait:** Numerate
**Skills:** Avaricious (e), Architect, Administrator, Investor
**Talents:** Language (High Valyrian) Cooking, Gardening
**Negative Trait:** N/A
**Starting Title:** Lord of Longtable
**Starting Location:** Opening Event
**Biography:**
It has been said; men grow tired of sleep, love, singing and dancing, sooner than war. As such, it begs the question, what does a man have left when he finally tires of war? In pursuit of an answer, of any answer, one half of Dorian Merryweather’s life was spent. He was the second son of Lord Arthor Merryweather of Longtable. Like many others born in a place of natural abundance, he longed for more, for something greater than a mere provincial estate. The tourneys of Highgarden, the hunts of Horn Hill and the books of Oldtown all called to him, and so he could never ride past his father’s mild and verdant fields fast enough. Dorian counted himself lucky not to be the heir, for that meant he could pick where his future lay, unchained from the uninspiring home of his childhood. Instead it was his older brother, Bennard, who envied his free-flying lifestyle, contriving any excuse to join him on his escapades and agurk lessons and ceremonies he ought to have attended.
Lord Arthor was fairly permissive of this deriliction of duties, as the friendships forced on such journeys were worth more than lessons that could be repeated later, or tasks that could be handed off to lowborn stewards. The boys attended tourneys, balls, hunts and feasts, living the life the bards extolled as the height of reachman’s chivalry. The one time they did not shirk their duties was when their father had the honor of hosting King Mern and his court for a tourney on the Warrior’s day. The Merryweather sons would present the king and his family with silver bowls of dilligrout, a most exquisite stew of capons, white wine and almond milk. They had the joy of tasting it once the Gardeners had their fill, a taste they would never forget. On the tournament field three days later, Mern knighted them both, though Dorian was only sixteen at the time, green as a knight could ever be.
Five years later, as news of Aegon Targaryen and his early conquests spread, the lords of the Reach were summoned to Goldengrove, where they found a veritable forest of Westermen’s banners being planted beside their own. The fall of the Storm Kings had led to a whirlwind of diplomacy between the houses of Gardener and Lannister. The plan was presented to the lords with the two kings sitting beside one another on the dais as though they were brothers. They held up Aegon’s letter of demands, scornfully reading it aloud and then proceeded to tear it up to a roaring acclamation from the hall. Standing there before the hall, Mern could hardly be called the Warrior incarnate. There stood a man well past his prime, old enough to be a grandfather and with no great victories to his name, in battle or on the tourney field. All the same, this man, whom they called their king, always seemed to know exactly what to say to win someone over. If he’d declared war on hell itself that evening, the Merryweather brothers would probably still have marched off with him when the next morning dawned. Bennard and Dorian shouted as loud as anyone, death to the foreign upstart. That evening were betrothed to westerwomen they’d never met before, made plans for a real battle, which they had never fought in before, and drank, ate and sang as though the night would last forever. House Merryweather was not able to secure a command, yet King Mern remembered his stay at Longtable fondly. He gave Bennard and Dorian a place in the vanguard, and even adorned Bennard with a brooch of the order of the green hand the morning before the army Goldengrove, a momentous honor which Bennard would cherish for the remainder of his days. He did not have many left, as it turned out. The Field of Fire began like a dream, as the two brothers rode off at the break of dawn, two out of five thousand sets of gleaming armor atop proud warhorses. By the end of the day it had become a nightmare. Caught up in the maelstrom of battle, Dorian did not see the moment when their loss was assured, but the Gods know he could hear it, the creeping, hungry flames that descended on the reachmen like an army of its own. As hundreds were broiled inside their steel plate and thousands more choked on the inferno’s horrible vanguard of black smoke, Bennard and Dorian broke and fled. They were not far behind the retreating Loren Lannister in their escape, but half a minute made all the difference. The lines of fire fanned out, hunting more living things to devour, and engulfed the two brothers. Dorian could feel how the flames spread from his surcoat to his undershirt, all the way down to the hairs on his chest, beginning to sear his skin. In a desperate act he threw himself in the Blackwater, and would have perished if not for the shoddy work of his squire that morning, which left him able to tear off his plate before he could sink. With bloodied, burn-marked fingers, he clung to the roots of a tree by the riverside, water up to his chest. He was retrieved after some time, how long he could not say. For the next two moons his mind was adrift, distracted from his pains by milk of the poppy. The next two were far worse, as he grew more lucid and realized the extent of the damage. A burn-mark stretched from his right thigh, all the way up his chest and left bicep to the apple of his neck. Many times over, flakes of dead or dying skin had to be peeled off by the maester as the scabs kept bursting with blood and clear liquid. By the end of that year he was able to walk again, though the burn mark would leave a feverish red mark across the front of his body, his new skin settling into twisted lines.
Bennard was far worse for wear, alive yet burned all the way to his face and crippled from a fall off his horse. His nose and ear-lobes had to be cut off, too burned to save, and even his eyelids were permanently scarred, unable to sprout new lashes. The more lucid Bennard became, the deeper his sorrow. Eventually he began refusing food. The new lord of Longtable would not eat anything his cooks set in front of him. In spite of his ever present pains, Dorian began going to the kitchens, reprimanding the cooks for their failings. He knew his brother well and knew his palette, and began ordering them to make his brother’s favorites. When he felt they were making mistakes, he interrupted their work himself. He was a stranger to the kitchen, yet would criticize how things were cut too roughly, spiced too little or too much. He was a terror to the cooks, yet they could not refuse him.
His attempts to intervene were however hampered by a newfound aversion to heat. The sound of the hearth, of boiling and searing, the general sense of warmth around him made him nauseous and caused his movements to seize up. Still, he went to his brother’s bedside every day, and afterwards he forced himself back to the kitchens. His sister, Lydia, tried to stop him at first, but soon found her protes fell on deaf ears, and so joined him, if only to leash him in when he went too far. Finally, there was only one dish they hadn’t tried; the dilligrout they’d once served to the late King Mern. Every time it was made, it came out wrong. It soon turned out the cook who had served them that evening six years ago had since retired, and his exact method had never been recorded or taught to anyone else. Dorian would first invite the man to Longtable, then summon him with armed knights when invitations were refused.
Theomar, the man who appeared before him, was a sorry sight, looking frightened and confused as he was taken to his old workplace. It was explained by his sons that he’d been growing senile even six years ago, often snapping at the kitchen maids under him when his memory failed him. Since then he’d gotten worse, seldom eating, let alone cooking. Something in the old man’s eyes did seem to brighten for a moment when the sounds and smells of his old kitchen surrounded him, and Dorian ordered him to make dilligrout. Before long that faint spark had been drowned out by tears. He would start boiling capon or crushing almonds, only to leave the job half-done whenever he had to fetch something new. Serving maids were put at his disposal to bring him ingredients, yet an ingredient ordered would be met with a reprimand as he seemed to forget which dish he was making every few minutes. Finally Dorian snapped at the man, grabbing him by his collar and shouting accusations of treason against House Merryweather. By the time Lydia could restrain him and try to apologize, the man was a wreck on the floor. After watching it for a while, waiting for the man to get up and continue his work, even Dorian was overcome by pity and shame for what he’d done. The old cook was praying to the gods, begging forgiveness for his failings. Dorian began to realize he’d broken a great man down and would himself beg forgiveness. He offered the man his old cook’s quarters back for the rest of his life, and promised his sons that his maester would tend to the man in his old age, that he would be fed from Longtable’s stores.
At this point, he resolved to make the dilligrout himself. Through it all, Bennard was barely clinging to life, or rather being tethered to it by the will of others. He could only be fed when drugged down by the milk of the poppy, and the more often it was used, the less effective it became. Every day Dorian braved the kitchens, yet he could not recreate the flavor of that wonderful night. It was by the grace of the gods, perhaps with Theomar as their vessel, that Dorian would even come close. The old man could no longer cook, but over time he began to wander into the kitchens and sit down on a chair. At first Dorian thought the man only sought the warmth of the hearth for his weary bones, yet he discovered it to be more than that. Theomar’s eyes were like clouded glass, yet they brightened every now and then, hearing almonds being ground, smelling capons searing in fat, as though it was stirring the kitchenmaster of yore back to life. Eventually Dorian began to walk up to the old cook with his ingredients, bidding him to smell or taste small portions. Sometimes he got simple instructions out of it, ‘too coarse’, ‘too sour’, ‘underdone’. Som times a mere nod or frown was all Theomar managed. Over the course of a couple of days, Dorian put together one final attempt to get the dish made rightWhen he arrived in Bennard’s chamber, he was met with a look which brought forth discomfort that no flame could produce in Dorian. Plainly, raspingly, his brother asked him why he wouldn’t let him die. It was easy, Bennard reasoned. All Dorian needed to do was wait and become lord. The words almost made Dorian throw the dilligrout on the floor. Almost. He placed two bowls on Bennard’s table, the dilligrout and one brimming with milk of the poppy. Dorian told his brother to make his choice. If he sought death, Dorian would let him, but he would not hear that it was an easy thing, watching his brother die. That evening, the milk of the poppy was carried away by the maester, the empty bowl of stew taken to be washed in the kitchens. From then on, Bennard ate what his brother brought him without complaint. He lasted just into the new year, dying on its tenth day. In the predawn gloom of the twelfth, Theomar died in his sleep
Dorian took up his lordly task joylessly. His old wanderlust returned, spurred by the horrible memories that now stained Longtable and the reach itself in his mind. The final straw came when their new Tyrell overlords, insisted on him marrying a lady from a dornish house. His previous betrothal had fallen through, as the parents of his western bride had not wished to draw the ire of the Targaryens by maintaining an old alliance meant to oppose them. Instead of obliging, he boarded a ship from Oldtown going east. It stopped only briefly in Planky Town before going to Tyrosh. Noting him to be a nobleman, a few of the city’s wealthy men would host him for a while, though they quickly lost interest when his lack of knowledge of trade became apparent. After that, he spent time in the markets and squares where the common people lived. His old curiosity was piqued, and he decided to embark on a quest of learning, fashioning himself another Lomas Longstrider. He moved on to Myr, and the experience was much the same in broad strokes, a few rich men showed interest and quickly lost it. As he’d visited the dye markets he went to see the city’s famous artisans at work. One thing was notably different, he met a Tyroshi woman with green-dyed hair, going by the name Maryah. She was a trader, and the two had taken the same ship to Myr. She had been to Myr before and showed him many of its secrets. They spent an entire day in one of the vast delicacy markets so she could show him the many tastes of the city. Having no plans in advance, he asked where she was headed next.
Without a second thought he would join her on a journey to Lys. He soon understood it to be a test. It was not long before she teased him, speculating he’d only joined her for a chance to see the famous pleasure houses. Evening after evening they stayed in the city and Maryah would tease and test him over the matter. Finally he told her he’d renounce his betrothal for her, that there was no one else in his eye. She laughed, replying he would not have to. The next morning, Dorian awoke to find that she was already up, the green washed from her black curls. Maryah had in fact been Joanna Dayne, his dornish bride to be, having traveled the same route as him ever since his ship stopped at Planky Town to refill its food and water. She was already quite familiar with the three closest free cities, having served as a dornish envoy on behalf of its spice traders. As they planned their return to Westeros, Joanna asked him what else in the world he wanted to see. Within a few moons of being wed, they left Westeros, not to return for three years.The journey was what his mind needed, away from the Reach, its knights and tapestries, hunts and tourneys. Ultimately, the lords and knights of his homeland, for all their songs and poetry, lived every day in preparation for war, frivolous though the preparations were. Joanna showed him a different world, the remnants of Old Valyria. War was to be sure inescapable. Wherever they went, there were soldiers, tapestries, contests of arms, and yet the cities housed something else as well, a boundless potential for creation, commerce and growth.
Thanks to Joanna Dayne’s knowledge their stays became far better planned, and they could enjoy the hospitality of wealthy locals far longer. She knew how to talk about the spice trade and similar matters, and Dorian began to pick up on it. On their second stay in Myr, he procured a great deal of fine parchment and began taking notes, everything from negotiation tactics and the prices of cloves or red peppers to court customs, as well as more eclectic pieces of knowledge, details of running an eastern estate, descriptions of technological marvels he had never seen in Westeros, and ingredients in the local food. By the time they neared Qarth he had quite the list of recipes, among other things. There he was even able to learn a few all the way from Yi Ti, as some local cooks catered to merchants from the Golden Empire. On their journey home they’d end up taking the opportunity to see the newly made port of King’s Landing. By that time, a third member had joined their journey, their infant daughter Florys. Having left Longtable in the care of his sister and steward for three years, Dorian finally accepted the responsibility of running his ancestral home.
Longtable was considered to rule over some of the best lands in the Reach, ideally situated along the river with abundant soil which could provide two grain harvests in a year. Having seen the estates which supplied the great cities of the east, Dorian was all too aware of its comparative shortcomings. He found that the abundance of the land had a counterproductive effect, breeding complacency and carelessness. From his grandiose tour of the east, he went on a painstaking tour of his own lands, trying to get an overview of everything he ruled over. He paid the citadel a fee to send him half a dozen maesters in training for a season. These young men, literate and numerate, would serve his own maester in conducting a survey of the land, giving Dorian account of all resources at his disposal as lord. The results were quite varied.
Some peasants were found to have remarkable agricultural insights which they had no way of writing down, entirely reliant on passing the knowledge to their children. Knowing the risks of such a method of transferring knowledge, Dorian ordered such insights recorded. In other places there were farmers and communities who were unwittingly exhausting their soil. Instances of lack of fallow land, excessive grazing by cows and lack of crop rotation were also made note of, followed by edicts against such heedless practices. Septons, sheriffs and tax collectors were given written copies and were obliged to read them to the peasantry wherever it was deemed necessary. It also became part of the obligations of farmers to plant a set amount of clover in their fields and pastures, a practice some had taken up on their own but which had already become a standardized law among the estates belonging to Myr and Volantis. Irrigation was expanded and land inheritance was reformed to prevent the splitting of fields past a certain threshold.
Lord Dorian was not always successful. Some eastern ideas had been useful innovations which improved conditions across the board. In time he learned that the peculiarities of the westerosi system were sometimes necessary for the sake of stability, not merely the misshapen fruits of ignorance. His attempt to enclose part of the common lands proved abortive, as it nearly caused a peasant rebellion. A procession of aggrieved smallfolk headed for Longtable had to be dispersed by knights, armed with wooden clubs to prevent needless bloodshed.Two men were hanged and five sent to the wall, but the reform was thereafter abandoned, leading the populace to calm down. Dorian was not much of a military leader and had not wielded weapons since the Field of Fire. He became aware of his need to bolster his forces, a notion reinforced by the establishment of the Black Roses not long after his return, and again with the Kingswood Catastrophe
In the meantime, he and Joanna raised a family together. Three more daughters would be born healthy, with a couple of miscarriages and a stillbirth in between, also a daughter. Their travels did not entirely come to an end. In 13 AC they would tour the northern free cities of Norvos, Qohor, Pentos, Braavos and Lorath, which they had missed on their original journey. The lion’s share of 17 AC was spent on a journey to the Summer Islands. At other times they would make shorter journeys around the Seven Kingdoms, where they felt more secure in bringing their older children along. Whether it was visiting Joanna’s family in Dorne, tourneys and feasts in the Reach and West or even one trip to see the wall, a nameday wish by Florys, they were often on the move. Like most of their peers, they frequented Oldtown and Highgarden
The growing rift between the two queens and their children was a situation Dorian would watch with dread in his heart, remembering keenly how a generation of young men had been brought to the field of fire. To his mind, the Targaryen rule ought not go to waste. Like Valyria of old, it had begun with fire and blood, yet similarly peace and prosperity had followed in its wake. If only the dragons could stand united, perhaps another long peace like the one the Freehold once enjoyed could again be established. If not, another century of blood was upon them. Under Dorian, Longtable became a place where he sought to bring together people from across the kingdoms and forge unity over the dinner table, an attitude which somewhat vexed and confounded his more militaristic daughter and heiress, Lady Florys. Even amid her questioning of the viability of his peaceful ways when surrounded by those who would make war, a terrible sight would steel his resolve, watching the Mander burning green, every bit as terrible as the flames from twenty one years prior. That night he made a simple vow, never again.
The League of the Cornucopia, he would name his little group, a gallery of lords and ladies whose acquaintances he’d made over the years. With these fellow gourmets he would share the culinary knowledge he’d gleaned from his journeys in the east and west. Most unusual for a lord of his rank, Dorian came to spend a great deal of time in his kitchens, testing out recipes himself. On occasion, the dishes he served to his guests for these small, intimate gatherings would be the work of his own hands. The membership did vary from time to time, both based on who could make it and who he sought to bring together. Rather than a fully closed circle, the League is more like a form of feasting, only it’s done for a much smaller crowd, without the public spectacle. Such occasions allowed for more refined foods which did not need to be served to hundreds and kept constantly warm over the course of hours like some common tavern stew. It also opened up an arena of more intimate diplomacy and negotiation for those who sought it, hosted on neutral ground by a lordly mediator, free from prying eyes.
**Timeline:**
25BC: Dorian is born, second in line to Longtable
24BC: His sister Lydia is born
9BC: House Merryweather hosts House Gardener for a tourney and feast. Dorian and his older brother Bennard serve the dish of honor to King Mern Gardener and his family. During the subsequent tourney, Mern knights both boys, despite their inexperience and lack of victory in the tourney
9BC-2BC: Dorian spends much time travelling the reach, attending events
1BC: Dorian and Bennard fight in the vanguard at the Field of Fire. Both are burned, Bennard far more severely than Dorian. Lord Merryweather is killed. Traumatized by the battle and his new maimed body, Bennard starts refusing food. Dorian desperately tries to re-create the dish they served King Mern eight years ago. The cook who made it has since gone senile, but eventually manages to help Dorian re-create it. He is given a place at court as apology for his mistreatment at Dorian's hands before this occurred.
1AC: Lord Bennard dies at the beginning of the year, leaving Dorian as lord of Longtable. His sister Lydia fulfills her betrothal to House Tarly, becoming lady of Horn Hill. At the prospect of marrying a Dornishwoman on the King's orders, Dorian decides to leave Westeros to put off his marriage. In Myr, he meets a woman calling herself Maryah, claiming to be a Tyroshi merchant. They fall in love and travel to Lys together. There Dorian promises to set aside his betrothal for her, whereupon she reveals herself as Joanna Dayne, his dornish betrothed.
1AC-4AC: Dorian and Joanna wed at Longtable, then depart on a new journey of the east. They reach as far as Qarth before turning back home.

2024.05.14 09:42 Perfect-Back4727 TDS on foreign remittances

Hi everyone Background: 2months into my articleship in a new/small firm where there aren't many experienced partners. Thinking about using this sub to post queries I can't ask my firm or peers.
There are quite a lot of 15CA/CB we file for our clients. We had a senior article who used to file them, after his departure it has fallen on my hands. I wanted to know how to deduct TDS for foreign payments.
I was told to read the DTAA and file the form accordingly. I am pretty clueless still, looking for guidance to know how to deduct TDS. Do i just see if TDS is applicable under Income Tax act, unless DTAA specifies otherwise??
What do I do if a DTAA agreement exists but the specific reason for which payment is being made is not specified in the agreement?
P. S how do I understand the DTAA of each country better? How is everyone else deducting tax before making foreign remittance?

2024.05.14 09:41 devilsofparadiss Do I have to repay Student Loans abroad, should my employment situation change from not-earning to earning, if I have been told I am not eligible to repay up until my next OSA form submission.

My question is, When the time comes around to re-submit my OSA, will they backdate payments based on earnings I have acquired?
Long story short. I moved to the US last year and I made the decision to let the SLC know I had move abroad. As I didn't have a job and was living off of savings my official letter stated I am not eligible to repay for a 12 month period and that I did not have to submit a OSA form again until that 12 months was up.
However now I am about to start a new job as of June.
Every time I asked someone at SLC the question above via Twitter DM's, or whoever those DM's get routed to, they would just give me some vague wording about how I would need to update my employment details should my circumstances change. But never actually answer my question lol
My official correspondence simply says I will not be expected to pay during the 12 month period mentioned, or until I return to the UK. It Mentions nothing of updating my employment details should I start earning again.
I basically just want to know if they are going to try to gouge some more money out of me when the time comes?
My guess is that the people working there were not allowed to essentially tell me I can go the next however many months earning without making any repayments. Which feels like a bit of a loophole.

2024.05.14 09:38 maibi0 Beginner to investment, need some help!

Hi all, am looking to begin seriously putting my head down and planning for the future. Am currently 24, with most of the "pre-requirements" met. (6 months emergency funds in savings, no high interest debt, etc.) The goal is to slowly grow my net worth within reasonable risk, and be able to live comfortably in 20 years (for example.)
As of now, I've a few thousand laying around in Versa Cash & Versa Growth, with ~RM600/mo in auto debit. No other forms of cash investment. For commitments, I've a car loan and my family's utility bills (Electricity, Water, Telco, etc) of ~RM1k/mo all-in. I've got a credit card, but it's really just there to be paid off every month for credit score. No other debt/commitments.
I'm blessed with a stable job with good income, so I've got around RM500-RM1k/mo left after deducting savings & spending cash to throw into investment.
I'm not the type to spend hours each week trading, so I was looking at ETFs as an option to dump money in and let it grow over the long term at a faster rate than FD/MMF, etc. From what I've read here/seen online, I was thinking IBKR or Moomoo to split my funds between VOO, SCHR, and VUG. (Or similar within their respective categories)
And before you ask, I'm a non, so ASB isn't really an option. Looking for your advice, wdyt?

By exploring various innovative pedagogical methods, technological advancements, and community engagement initiatives, this article highlights the significance of learning centers in shaping a future where education is accessible, inclusive, and empowering for all.
In an era characterized by rapid technological advancements and evolving societal needs, the traditional notion of education has undergone a profound transformation, evolving into a concept that encompasses lifelong learning. This shift reflects the recognition that education is not confined to formal schooling but is a continuous journey of acquiring knowledge, skills, and competencies throughout one's life. At the forefront of this paradigm shift are learning centers, dynamic hubs of educational innovation and empowerment that cater to individuals across diverse ages, backgrounds, and circumstances.
Learning centres serve as focal points for fostering lifelong learning by offering a wide range of learning opportunities that extend beyond traditional educational settings. Whether individuals seek to acquire new skills, explore new interests, or enhance existing competencies, learning centres provide a supportive environment that encourages exploration, growth, and development. Through their commitment to providing personalized support and fostering a culture of continuous improvement, learning centres empower individuals to embark on their educational journey with confidence and enthusiasm.

Learning centres leverage technology to enhance educational experiences through various digital tools and platforms. Digital learning platforms provide learners with access to a vast array of educational resources, interactive tutorials, and multimedia materials, allowing for personalized learning experiences tailored to individual needs and preferences.

I want to immigrate to either canada or the netherlands by studying there and because the degree i hold right now isn’t very in demand i can’t apply for jobs so I thought of getting masters program but mostly they will ask for letter of recommendation which idk if i can provide since only two professors reply and they just asked to sent them the form and sign it nothing more i emailed two others and put effort to provide them with some works that I’ve done in their courses and my cv it has been 6 months no reply. Also I honestly feel like most master’s programs for my undergraduate major is very limited or not in demand i have English language degree btw so if you have any advice I would appreciate it -
This’s just a vent maybe idk : I got two programs offer that end with employment rn in my home country which is great cuz i can maybe ask for professional references but they are not related to my undergraduate program also they’re all do urine tests and well… I may start to take medication for my anxiety and probably hopefully not antidepressants soon :( I’m kinda very excited for these two programs

2024.05.14 09:31 Lefty8312 Uk Unemployment increasing

So new data today shows that UK unemployment is increasing.
Considering I would be included in these figures (as I was made redundant from a job of 10 years in March), and have yet to find alternative employment at a similar level (and not for a lack of trying, 500+ applications, and reducing my annual pay by about 40% of what I was on to try to get back into work), what do you propose Labour could do when they get into power to help with this?

2024.05.14 09:30 elysiancat Allianz insurance invoice

Hi all, I could use some advice with the following problem.
In February I had to move to a new flat in Geneva, so I explored some different household insurance options e.g. Elvia by Allianz and AXA. From their website you can put in your preferences and get a quote for insurance over email. I got a mail from Elvia with the offer, and they mentioned that to confirm it you have to reply to the email or call them to confirm the application.
I never replied to their email as I went with AXA instead, and since Elvia required you to explicitly confirm the offer over email or phone I assumed I did not need to do anything further since I did not reply/call to accept.
However last week I recieved an invoice for them for the insurance, which is really worrying me. I reached out to their support but got a generic reply to pay my invoice. I didn't confirm their application as they asked, so why would the insurance apply to me? Can anyone let me know if this is normal? I will call their support too again but I'm just so worried at having to suddenly pay this unexpected bill.

2024.05.14 09:27 Substantial-Doubt113 VFS Global Centre Services

Hi! I finished my application for my skilled worker visa yesterday, and I selected “VFS Global Centre Services” for my biometric services appointment. I know the application said that this cannot be changed without withdrawing and starting a new application.
I didn’t realize that the VFS premium centers require packages that start at $500. I would really rather do self-upload. Is there any way to avoid this $500 fee and do self-upload at a VFS centre? I don’t think I can go to a UCSIS application support center at this point since my application form clearly says “VFS Global”. Is that correct?

2024.05.14 09:23 Emotional_Badger5242 They force my to quit right after i get hired.. please Help!

please help
Back in new york when i first moved to the states, a friend of friend helped me get a job in his company since i was waiting for my papers, worked for him for a year or so and later i told him that i'm kind of wanting to look somewhere else for a better opportunity and pay, his reaction was a bit off and he didn't seem to like that i have other endeavors, a bit later he demoted me and i had to work in a different location within the company where he's a general manager at,
the conditions were bad, the coworkers seldom talk to me and if they do they'd talk in a passive aggressive way or impolitely or made me do their tasks for them
i gave my 2 weeks notice and it was a bit worse, giving the attitude i received from those corkers, i left after the two weeks to another company in similar field and as soon as they hired me i would be immidiatly getting a constructive discharge type of environment, i was in so much frustration and sadness of how that manager treated me, talking to me in the most deragatory way making me do tasks that has nothing to do with my position or giving me the most load of work while other coworkers are chilling, even making me the one to take the trash out often, one time my hand lying on the kitchen.. he slammed a jug on it and acted like nothing happened, didn't apologize!
After a while coworkers wouldn't conversate with me or include me in anything rather than work -which is fine-they made passive aggressive comments and they would only ask me to do their tasks for them even tho they didn't have the authority, i felt so isolated and deppressed. i decided to go somewhere else and the same would happen again...
i know you might be thinking it is only in my head but these are incidents i lived through and experienced tc minute detail and they are not normal
i decided to go somewhere else and the same would happen again... i know you might be thinking it is only in my head but these are incidents i lived through and experienced to the minute detail and they are not normal
i would go to another company and the same would occur and it gets worse everytime, the longer i decided to stay the harder the intensity of the constructive discharge gets, i've seen some crazy actions like ripping my stuff in my locker, leaving me weird notes, cutting me off if i start talking, jeoperdizing my phone, reciving weird emails, or getting random threathning texts from unknown sources,
Sometimes something would happen to me at work and later i get home and my new roommates would be talking commically about it!! And frightening incidents like this are countless…
i moved to california about a year now and i see this patern emerging again at my current job that im in for 10 months now i ran a background check on myself, came out clean, i travel in/out of country if i could.. no problem, but work has been always hell for me and i'm starting to lose my mind about this, it's my reality and i'm tired of it i tried to fix so many aspects about myself thinking that i might be the problem, but to no avail... i heard terms like Blacklisting, sabotage, constructive dimissal etc.. but they failed to guide me to the sourc my crisis nor help me know what to do to protect myself from the potential future abusers.
This is my las resort.. i hope this would be seen by someone who could help figure out a solution or guide me towards the right direction, i would be indebted to you for life...
Please help me and thank you from the deepest part in my heart ❤️

2024.05.14 09:22 Electrical-Ad1820 Skin stereotypes Andro(1)-Betty(5)

A conversation with a few friends of mine some skins have certain audiences to them and certain people will pick them more than others that's just the nature of people, and sometimes these people can be fit into certain groups, and certain stereotypes which is also nature of people. So I will be talking about these stereotypes, with 4-8 champs at a time depending on how many skins they have, starting with- Not androxus- but some general skin types etc.
Let me start off by saying that stereotypes are broad, and over generalized by nature, and not everyone is the same we're not Buzz Lightyear here, at the very least these are meant for fun.

Basic Recolours

The recolours you can buy for gold often attract semi-new players those that got the champions they like and often will spend "extra" gold on recolours.
They're most likely new at the game, or at the very least their champion.
Certain recolours will be brought up again per champion if they add anything different or have a different stereotype.

System Recolours/Promotional Recolours

So these guys probably are more likely to be even newer than the basic recolours since they got them from linking accounts or following/subscribing to different social media and all that.

Mastery/Gold Skins

Assuming it's gold they're probably confident in their skill with a champion and want to display that, but with the obsidian and cosmic ones they tend to be the same as basic and promotional recolours.

Invitational/Event Recolours

Okay so we're done with recolours after this I promise but often these are old school players, often ignoring the actual quality of skins to more say that's when they were around.

Hats

Hats are kinda the same as the event/invitation recolours but they can also be found on new players who got the hat from a chest, in general if they have a proper skin they'll dump these for the skin so at the very least that leaves semi experienced players who finds the frog hat more funny than they do the cowboy cool.

Androxus

It's fair to say that Android is the poster boy of paladins and since he's relatively old he's got a lot of skins over the years and he's got quite the audience, I mean really he's the guy they show on the splash art of the game like imagine little Timmy seeing his older brother playing Androgenous "Who's the cool guy with the revolver and horns?" And his brother is like "That's my main Abolitionist" and then next game Timmy is playing Angrosist.
And they're very against nerfs every time pretending it'll kill Ambrosia and every time he's just fine maybe the fact he's got a solid baseline kit means he's not struggling when nerfs come knocking. Either way it doesn't stop the complaints.
Often Anglo (Okay the bits running thin) players take themselves seriously, whether you should depends, and depends alot. But he does inevitably attract edgelords, assholes, and blowhards.

Exalted

Exalted Andros tend to hold themselves in high regard but at the same time tend to suck, they bought this skin since it was cheap and with it are often not that great.

Imperator

So imperator is basically the same as exalted in looks but it does have the caveat that it's actually not as readily available which means someone has to make a active choice to run this, these guys are pretty much more for simplicity and class over complexity and fancy stuff, this means you'll see them play pretty good Andro where they'll stick to the stuff that works rather than flashy montage worthy stuff, they can do these but they more prefer understated competency over flashy nonsense.

Screech

This is a hat that actually has a stereotype since it's not apart of a chest it's from the deal of the day that makes a difference to who is using it. These guys are mostly raging blowhards, they think they're gods at the game but they're not as good as they believe, like antlers they say crap but not enough to get banned. This changes to just normal tryhards when they get their hands on shattermaw, almost every Andro with this skin and shattermaw are more interested in shitting on you and moving on to the next, they really only do really good in casuals without comms, but they can get work done in ranked.

Cangaceiro

Okay so this guy either uses the Shatter Maw and same deal as Screech Andro's or they run they Huntsman's gun and if you get to talk to them in a party or something they'll cry about how the pirate skins in Paladins Strike aren't ported over to paladins. It's weird and it's specific. They do tend to be nicer and less serious than Screech Andros.

Huntsman

These are the most average Andro's in existence, they certainly exist but they're not too interesting all considering. They're not bad or good, or particularly toxic or nice or anything like that, they just exist.

Steam Demon

I mean there's a Young Frankenstein joke to be made here. But Andro's running the steam demon skin tend to be uptight and expect people to carry their own weight... Of course the chance they tend to mess up they go silent, they're not rude perse but they sure do expect a lot.

Fallen

These are the guys who listened to Nightcore- Angel with a shotgun too much and will be very melodramatic, and tend to be almost always a downer for the team, they do clutch up though so something to be said.

Battlesuit Godslayer

No one really uses this skin if they have others, really this skin doesn't sell the gundam vibes the others do maybe it's because of his waistcost flowing back there but really he just looks like a guy in a robot suit

Steelforged/Dragonforged

These Andros are just as dramatic as Fallen Andros but they seem to be in on the joke and often will more be self aware, they will be playing like some viking bagpipe metal music so it's not all good with them.

Avatar

These guys probably blame their support and will unironically quots the skin, not realizing it's making fun of them. They also probably are tickled by the fact it looks likr a Xbox 360

Modded

Now often with battlepass skins their recolours are basically the same stereotype normally but for Modded these guys have basically brain rotten themselves down to the same level with their obsession with RGB lights.

Exterminate

Yeah another skin no one uses really, unless they're really interested in the cat in his backpack otherwise it's just not really a great skin since it's just a guy in a dragon ball z kai uniform without the cool ass powers and literal royalty free music.

Grave Danger

This is Kinda like omen it's not as self aware but it's hard to take this skin more seriously than default and these guys tend to be chill but it's a newer skin so it's not exactly like there's room to have a stereotype yet, which is fair but still other skins still have stereotypes that formed same day as their release.

Golden

Now it's rare that a gold skin that doesn't change something about a character shows up but this is widespread since every Andro on earth who runs this will almost always have a bloated ego, whether it's 50 or 550 these guys are super quick to be offended and will tunnel the shit out of you for just about anything.

Ash

Ash is weirdly uncommon despite being free, probably because everyone is running at point with her and she basically loses that engagement to every proper point tank, she is a offtank first and foremost after all.
As for stereotypes there is a few thing that I've noticed with Ash's (Ashes? Ashs? Ash players) First is if they're running the default voice pack even with other skins they're definitely offtanking.
And another oddity is the Ash mains that have more than one skin tend to never properly match their weapons and skins up, it's weird but every other Ash main I see runs a different weapon and skin.

Heirloom Crest

So I bring this hat up because unlike anyone else with a hat skin no one wears this, honestly it should just come with a different version of Ronin but really this is the exception to the hatskin rule, these guys are just new players who got it from a chest and felt justified in using it because they spent crystals on a chest.

Ronin

Ronin Ash players kinda just suck, it can be a matter of many different things as to why these guys struggle, they could suck at shooting people, they could be bad at positioning, trying to point tank, they're using their abilities at shit times, they could be great with all of that and still they'll have a terrible deck and talents.
These guys just suck

Xenobuster

Xenobuster Ash players tend to run into fights they shouldn't and lose, this more or less comes from the overuse of shoulder bash, otherwise they're probably running knock back spam, they're most likely to be found on TDM Throne or Abyss trying to wait around corners to throw you off. They will go spastic if you buy sentinel.

Street Style

These guys are meatheats, they're less interested in actually capturing the point and more just want teamfights, the objective and space are biproducts, as such you'll see these guys with really selfish buys, and decks, and they'll steal kills with slugshot, they're not doing it intentionally but they are rude.

Ska'Drin

Ska'Drin Ash players often properly play Ash as offtank and for the most part are good sports, it's nice enough at least when these guys are working with you, they will probably ask for someone to point tank while they do their thing.

Scorned

Another recolour with a different stereotype, these guys are also playing Ash as offtanks but their also raging assholes, and will bitch and moan from just about anything, whether it's their fault or not they'll yell at their team, though at the same time they are probably making space, and do their job well enough

Draconian Huntress

As mentioned earlier Ash mains tend to be rather rare, and the amount of people who'd go out of their way for this skin is rarer, these guys pretty much are guaranteed to be Ash mains or at the very least skin collectors. As for gameplay it's hard to say since I've seen like 4 people use this skin

Atlas

Atlas mains are pretty much obsessed with telling you they're Atlas mains it's like telling people you don't play fortnite or something. Like good on you mate, but I and I'm pretty sure most of the world don't really care. Skill ranges wildly and skins for the most part don't really change that.

Chronomancer

So uh this skin no one uses, you'll more likely find a Atlas running default with this Skin's gun, it's weird it's specific and I have no idea why it's like this... Oh yeah because Atlas looks awful without a beard.

Legionnaire

So Legionnaire Atlas is kinda a situation like Grave Danger Andro mostly because the skin again looks kind of goofy, though for the effort put into it, it's at least nice. Still these guys take themselves just as seriously as the skin does.

Corrupt/Vile

Most of these guys just suck like sure there's bound to be a good Corrupt or Vile Atlas out there but every one I've seen just sucks. It's a bloody shame since they're nice skins.

Azaan

Azaan doesn't really have too many skins to talk about but at the same time most people aren't exactly Azaan mains he's kind of a back pocket kind of champion.

Forgemaster

These guys actually main Azaan, and they're quick to get defensive on why they pick the shirtless Azaan skin

Dark Drake

I don't get how anyone understands this skin, it's so garbled and just nonsense, there's no real stereotype but I did find out that this skin has the same voice actor as Freddy Fazbear...

Barik

Again Barik mains are a rarity and, nost of the time I only really see last/bottom picks grabbing Barik and doing really nothing all game but cry about their team not carrying them.

Hi-Tek/Stonecut

If a champion has access to their pre-reworks skins and in general just older skins they're often on the cheaper side and really are just bought by newbies due to this, that's really it outside of the odd end nastolgia tripper.

Team Fortress 2

So you get this skin in a way that's similar to promotional recolours, and it's more or less exclusive to steam, it's a safe bet that a TF2 Barik is new at the game and on steam, that's it.

Swashbuckler

Pirate skins often invite people into running teams of pirates skins, outside of that Swashbuckler Bariks tend to more or less the point jockey they live on the point they die on the point.

Steel/Dragon Forged Barik

This guy listens to diggy diggy hole and probably runs some stupid deck that relies on a gimmick these guys are here for fun and will probably do something cool, maybe?

Betty

Betty is new-ish and so she only has the one skin, Betty kinda is the easy version of both Willo and Dredge without the impact of either, this means Betty attracts bad players.

Dragonette

Bowsette meme aside this is Betty's only real skin and so it's kinda broad to say anything but I assume once she gets something else it'll attract... A certain audience.
So yeah 5 champs, feel free to suggest anything for future champions I'll probably see or agree with them.

Enhancing Agility, Performance, and Security: The Evolution of SD-WAN in Modern Enterprises
SD-WAN employs software-defined networking methodologies, leveraging diverse connectivity options like broadband internet, wireless, MPLS, 4G, 5G, and LTE to oversee and regulate multiple WAN connections. This approach incorporates a centralized application controller for managing network traffic, prioritizing packets, setting routing and network policies, and segregating network data.
By creating a network overlay, SD-WAN separates software-defined services from the underlying hardware infrastructure, simplifying branch office networking, enhancing branch flexibility, boosting application performance, and significantly cutting down on capital and operational costs.
This technology facilitates the establishment of a virtual overlay network, abstracting the physical network infrastructure through centralized management and control of the enterprise WAN. Furthermore, SD-WAN streamlines network administration, offering improved visibility into network traffic. Administrators can monitor and govern network performance, enforce policies, and ensure quality of service (QoS) for critical applications through a centralized management console.
Download Sample Report Here
This study aims to address key inquiries concerning the SD-WAN market landscape:
· What is the current competitive scenario within the Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) market?
· What market share do major vendors hold in this domain?
· What are the primary competitive dynamics observed in the global and regional SD-WAN markets?
· Who are the prominent vendors operating in both global and regional SD-WAN markets?
· Are there vendors specializing in specific industries?

2024.05.14 09:18 NotWasi Question about rent with a $5800 income

Right now, I live in California now and make $4000 / month but pay $2300 on rent. I decided to make a career change and I recently accepted a job in Salem, OR that will start me off at $5800 / month and will go up to a guarantied $6800 after 2 years so will be moving out (Finally haha). I'm single and in my mid 20s. I found a apartment near by where ill be working for $1800 / month, Its not the nicest looking place but its a nice neighborhood. Obviously spending as little as possible is ideal but I want to know if this is good for my income or if i can afford more. All my bills add up to $1400/month + the $1800 rent which would leave me with $2600 extra. Would it hurt increasing my rent budget to $2400 to get something a bit nicer and having $2000 left over? I've always been bad with my money so I'm trying to fix that. Thanks in advanced.

2024.05.14 09:14 tomazinnn Is it worth completing my Computer Science degree?

I’m looking for some realistic honest advice. So, amidst all the news from GPT-4o, it really has me uninspired as a programmer.
I am more than half way through my degree and I wouldn’t say I was loving it, but it’s given me a form of direction and tapped into my want to start a business.
With all this exponential growth in AI, I’m starting to feel at OpenAI’s mercy and that my days with a programming job, or a UI/UX job, are numbered.
I’m not sure if it’s going to even be a high paying let alone valid career in 1.5-2 years, so I’m wondering if I should cut my losses and work for that period time instead to hopefully future proof my self a bit more.
I want to do the right thing by my mental health, because honestly it doesn’t feel great learning something that feels obsolete in a few years. I want to bring value in the world and secure a great life for my friends and family. Please tell me your honest and open thoughts, thank you.

2024.05.14 09:13 jhaatu6969 Indian Male Engineer - Need a reality check

I’m a 26 yo Indian Male Engineer. I have about 5 YoE as a software engineer.
Academics: Undergrad from a school which has been a feeder, though not a lot, to INSEAD, Duke, etc. GPA - 8.8/10 - pretty much consistent.
I was awarded scholarship as well in one of the semesters for scoring in top 15% of the batch.
Not sure if this matters - I was struggling with depression during high school to the point that I did get suicidal and that took a hit on my academics. I couldn’t score well enough to get into top tier institutes and eventually, though not proud of it, had to get admitted to the University via donation.
Professional Experience: Company 1 - Software Engineer - 2 years Location: India US based I was among the top 5 finalists who had the chance to showcase their hackathon idea at the company headquarters. This idea is being used currently as we speak.
I was promoted once from junior level software engineer to mid level. I was up for another promotion in 8 mos but decided to quit as I wasn’t growing.
Company 2 - Tech Consulting Location - London, UK Role - Tech lead I was the project lead for a client to develop an application. I wore multiple caps here, Tech lead, project manager, stakeholder management, mentor.
I quit this job after 8 months as Tech Consulting was something I didn’t want to do.
Company 3 - A very well known Brand (not FAANG) - 1.5 years approx Location - London, UK Role - Software Engineer
Extracurriculars: 1. I was part of the fundraising campaign in my Undergrad, bringing in thousands of rupees for the college fest from local businesses. 2. I led a team of 5 for an event during the fest. 3. I was part of the college football team. 4. I’ve worked with an NGO in London to improve their social media reach and website visibility. 5. I used to play football for a league in London but had to stop because of an injury. 6. Currently I’m building a football community in London - organising leagues, practice sessions, etc
Post MBA goal: Moving into Product Management, specifically in startups and eventually moving to entrepreneurship.
Target Schools, mostly US - (I’m still in the process of researching) Duke, NYU Stern, Kellogg, Haas, UCLA Anderson, Tuck, Kelley.
GMAT - preparing for it.
Targeting to apply next year. So class of 2026 I guess.
Ofcourse MIT, Stanford, Harvard are in my list but I am so demotivated looking at the responses to the profile evaluation of Indian Male IT engineers that I’m contemplating leaving my current job, moving to India and taking up a role that’s unconventional just to have an edge.
I really need some guidance.
Any help would be much appreciated.
