I finally did it!! Don't mean to be long winded....who the hell am I fooling I'm going to be long winded. Finally got my Marisa to Master. Been fighting in the streets since SF2, I can remember being 12 years old walking up to the machine seeing a crowd around it an when I finally could see between everyone, thinking to myself "wow 6 buttons how the hell do you play with that many buttons". Popped my quarter in an waited my turn, of course I picked Blanka (because what 12 year old doesnt like a green beast). Got totally destroyed, who knew that random day would lead to me making this post 30+ years later.
Since then I've played every SF game, but USF4 I definitely played the most, at one point I was well over 140K online fights, I've played that game for 8 hours stretches an still wasn't tired of it. Was never truly "that good". Got Ryu, Ken, Akuma & Gouken to about B rank. Played it for 10 years solid, I'm not the type of person to play many other games so it was exclusively SF an occasionally God Of War if a new one was released.
Then SF5 came out, played that for countless hours, but Ultra Gold was the highest I could get with the only character I used, Ryu. After playing SF that long muscle memory becomes your best friend an worst enemy. I was never crazy about any other fighting games, Tekken is cool just never really like the dynamics of it, Mortal Kombat is way over the top.
Fast foward to SF6, finally told myself I was going to make a change an not use a Shoto, saw Marisa command grab an said "YUPPPP that's who I'm using". Been using her since release day, it was tough unlearning the Shoto muscle memory as well as the new game dynamics. So I played alot of Casual, the placement matches put me at about mid platinum an I just chipped at it from there. It kind of helped that the game was new so people were just learning to deal with her superman punch etc. Worked my way to D4 an was there for months I wouldnt play Ranked because I was scared to lose points an rank down. My 15 year old son would keep telling me play ranked, I would do a couple matches lose then go right back to Casual. Finally the last couple months I snuck into D5. Starting fighting against more Master rank players an realize they arent as scary as I thought they would be.
So last night I made the final push, I would mess around on my phone while the match loaded it an made a conscious effort to not focus my eyes on my opponent rank, while still out the corner of my eye watching how much health they have left. An I wouldnt look at my points when I won, to help with me not being nervous. Then boom around 11:45 pm last night those magic words popped on my screen after I beat a AKI. I've been smiling like a kid on Christmas ever since. I fuckin did it!!
I'm at work doing nothing for the next 6 hours feel free to ask me anything, Im far from the greatest SF player, hell I'm ok with being the lost ranked Master player. But its nice that I can't rank back down now lol.

I am writing this post on behalf of my mother. She has recently completed her Master's in Tamil language, focusing on Tamil literature of the Srivaishnava bhakti tradition.
(my_qualifications:) Her qualifications include a Diploma in ECE, a BCA, and a Master's in Tamil Language. She was awarded a Gold medal for her MPhil degree from her University. She used to be a school teacher and is currently a personal tutor for school kids. She is highly motivated to pursue a PhD, especially funded PhD opportunities in the USA, Germany, UK, and other places where established research on the Tamil language is ongoing.
I have heard from a good number of people who got accepted into STEM PhDs in the US and Europe, and I have a fairly decent idea of the roadmap to pursue a PhD in those fields. It would be helpful if reddit folks here could kindly guide me on where to look for non-STEM funded PhD opportunities and how the process might differ from STEM programs ?

So basically, I want to create a strong group/community of applicants who will be applying this year to work really hard and be together on this journey. I realize that it's a huge struggle to be alone in this process, so I welcome international students who are interested in having a strong community where we will be developing ourselves together.
So a little bit about me: I am an international student who is taking her second gap year. My interests include women-empowerment and STEM. This summer, I will be taking part in Pioneer Academics and Blast AI with full scholarships while running my non-profit program. I graduated high school with a gold medal and a perfect GPA. I will be taking my SAT this summer, and I will be preparing hard.
I want to work to my fullest potential since it will be my second gap year, and I want to create a group of 5–6 people who also have strong goals.
If you are interested, please check out and fill out this Google form: https://forms.gle/TksHzyUHPjMiFxoh8
I must admit that this opportunity might open up a lot of doors for each of us, and we will have serious preparation to ace the application process together. Thanks for your attention!
Don't worry, all of your responses will be kept confidential and will only be reviewed by me so that I can gather a group of applicants who potentially have the same interests/strong backgrounds, or have gap year experience.
And if you want to know more about me, you can DM me, I'm ready to answer your questions!

Yes he has 2x Olympic Men's Single gold medal, but he has been extremely unlucky to not been selected for the 2012 and 2024 Games. In 2012 he was WR#1 but wasn't selected, and in 2024 his form has been better than Fan ZhenDong but was still unfortunately not selected. If he was abit luckier with selection he could have 8x Olympic Medals, maybe even 8x Golds.

Hello guys,
opgg: https://www.op.gg/summoners/euw/Tiga%20Mafia-EUW47
yesterday I only had time for 3 ranked placement matches with Viego. I one tricked Viego my last like 100-150 matches and will continue, to only play him. I peaked Plat 1 last season (almost Emerald :( ) so I think my opinion is not that useless as some ppl think.
Placement matches had some variety of players reaching form Gold 1 to Emerald 1 in it so it was a disaster as some could think.
I took some advice from some guy here in this Ubreddit (forgot his name) and went Collector first, into IE 2nd, 3rd item is either LDR or Mortal Reminder depens on the tank they have ( I went for Mortal Reminder because they had mundo on the last game). 4th Item can either be Blood thirster or Shieldbow, which also depends on the situation of course.
For the last item you always go Jak Sho to get those defenses high up, since you already hit 100% crit with 4 items.
Boots are berserker ones.
For the runes I went HOB into Sudden Impact, Eyeball collection and Ultimate hunter. For the second page I went Magical Footwear and Cosmic insight.
For the attributes I went Attack speed, Adaptive Force for Flex and last but not least health scaling or Tenacity if they have alot of cc.
I only had the opportunity to go full build on my last game but I can give you my experiences so far if it could help.
First of all you do insane amount of damage. Like really absurd amount of damage thanks to your crit and HOB. I one shotted a 60% health Veigar with Seraphs embrace, with a simple W and then E, Auto Q auto auto combo. The downside is, you lack attack speed until you have your boots and E maxed out. You do alot of damage like alot but you have to play really careful until you get your Jak sho as last item.
Kinda feels like a Lethality lee sin, where you cant just jump in like when you have the bruiser build.
So you always have to be very patient and let your team engage in team fights / objectives. once you reach the squishy ones on their team with a full charged W, its basically over and you win the team fight. But be careful when they focus and burst you down.
I dont want to say that this is the best build for Viego but I can clearly see full crit Viego with 4 items and a defensive as the 5th become a thing.
But I still have to try the new Bork and the yun tal arrows, I havent played it yet. Maybe a 75% crit viego with Bork and a defensive item is the thing then. You also dont need the berserker boots and can go either mercs or tabbys since you get the attack speed from Bork and your E.
I hope this helps some people, who struggle what build direction they should go.
I know some of you might think me as a hardstuck low elo Plat maybe have no knowledge but Im sure, some will be thankful for my experience.
Wish a nice day to every ruined king here.

Being eaten.
No, I do not mean being on the receiving end as someone goes down on you. Sex seems to be popular in fiction these days, if the shitty Fifty Shades of Grey is any indication, and I sorely, desperately wish what I was about to write was all fiction. Then I could sprinkle some gratuitous sex on it, go to a publisher, and hope that it would sell. Then I would be not risking my job altogether sharing this so that strangers on the Internet would at least know of my suffering in having to watch human beings die brutal, bloody deaths to satisfy a desire even more primal than sex and far less pleasurable.
Yes, I’m talking about eating. And about being literally, bona fide eaten. An incredulous notion in modern society, where we live in concrete houses and walk on asphalt streets. Where the animals we encounter are anywhere between little quacking ducks and crotch-high geese. We live free of our early ancestor’s fear of becoming something else’s food. Crocodile, tiger, lion - pick your customer. It, in most cases, starts with the intense pressure of clamp-strong jaws, driving teeth into parts of your body where teeth should not be stabbing into. Depending on how lucky you are, there will likely be hellish pain lasting anywhere from seconds to minutes (that I am willing to bet feels much longer) before death takes you. What happens to your consciousness after that is a popular debate. What happens to your body is not. You get chewed into a consistency similar to hamburger patties in some cases, swallowed whole in others. Different vehicles to the same destination of an acidic stomach. Your useful parts are broken down into a mushy soup. The rest are ejected from the back end.
A shitty way to go, literally and metaphorically. A living human being, full of emotions and dreams and hope, turned into lifeless steak, soup then shit. At least three out of five young men and women whose last days I will recount below went that way. The other two… well, let’s say that it has been three weeks at this time of writing, and I do not have much hope.
The day started with Matthew dropping several paper files in beige covers on my desk. When I opened it and saw a report complete with pictures of grinning people on the first page, I knew right there and then that it was going to be anything but a normal day at work.
“Missing?” I asked, eyebrows raising. It was the single possibility. Police could have pictures on their desks for all kinds of stuff, but not us rangers. Only then did I notice the tight line Matthew’s lips had pressed into.
“Not like that, no.” He shook his head. “None of them got lost. All five came down here from Sydney, stayed at Winston Ward’s place. That’s Ward’s daughter, Madeleine.” His fingers pressed on the picture of a girl at the top of the page. Hair dyed blue and with the brightest smile of the bunch, I noticed. “She and one other, Cathy, their Indigenous guide, are the two still missing.” Matthew pointed next to the picture below Madeleine. Cathy was dark-skinned and had a hiking stick resting above her shoulder, clearly posing for some sort of promotional photo. “And these three, well…”
I took a quick glance at the other photos. Steve Wilson had the build of a runner, wiry and dressed in a tank top to match. Lisa Mooney, blonde with gold-rimmed glasses. Ashley Lo - his curly dark hair tied back into a ponytail. I knew I would not have to pay extra-close attention to their appearance. Two missing.
“I don’t know, man. Kind of wanted your input on it, too.” Matthew shook his head. “Best you see it for yourself. The police could not decide if it was murder or an animal attack, so they requested us. Found all three of them ripped apart. Caught, well, a suspect, I suppose, on their own cam-”
“You kidding? A suspect and they could not decide if it’s an animal attack or not?”
“I know, Tom, watch it for yourself and tell me I’m not crazy. Hells, they didn’t just have the pictures. Caught the damned killings on film, and still can’t decide if he, it - whatever - is man or animal. I will send the footage over in a bit. Some photos are in there, too. Just don’t puke up your breakfast. I’m seriously thinking of going vegan.”
What the fuck?
I frowned. Matthew could not wait for someone to share his hell, I supposed, and quickly retreated back into his office, leaving me alone with the papers.
Here are the facts.
Winston Ward, your typical real estate rich guy, bought some bushland last year next to our park. His plan was straightforward - setting up lavish air-conditioned bungalows amidst the Australian bush, complete with five-star hotel facilities such as private pools and a fine dining restaurant. A luxury retreat amidst trees and shrubs, letting you enjoy the best of nature and avoiding the worst. No insect stings, soaking rains or blistering heat that the normal campers had to suffer. Just a couple of hours drive from Sydney to boot. All well and good, except for the fact that it came alarmingly close to intruding on national park’s land. So Parks and Wildlife Service took notice and kept a close eye on Ward’s project. So far, even though he has not opened his retreat and nothing illegal had been done, Ward became a popular name among us rangers. Just in case.
I certainly did not expect his name - or his family’s name - rather, to come up this way.
It had been Ashley’s idea. An Ecology graduate, he wanted to make a documentary about Aboriginal people’s way of sustainable living among nature. He got his girlfriend, Madeleine Ward, into it, alongside fellow graduates Steve and Lisa. Madeleine easily secured the filming spot with her father. They hired Cathy as the expert for the film, and the five of them occupied two bungalows. Living in the lap of luxury while trying to promote sustainability. Three cameras were installed. Two security cams for each bungalow, expectedly. The third was a camera trap, the kind used on wildlife trails to capture pictures and videos of animals. Likely intended for fun.
As much as I respect the purpose of their never-finished documentary, I find twenty six-year-old Ashley rather hypocritical, and rather gross given how Madeleine only turned eighteen three months ago. But not to speak ill of the dead, I suppose.
I braced myself as I turned the page for the photos, and failed to stop the dry-heave that came up. Three bodies, gnawed clean of flesh. Strands of dark curly hair on the first mangled head identified it as Ashley’s. The skull was smashed open, its insides, empty where a brain had been licked clean, caked with dried blood. Shattered pieces of his bones were strewn over muddy soil, brown rain water filling in troughs where the marrow that had been sucked out. Steve and Lisa was in roughly a familiar state, and I shivered at how disturbingly clean the bones were. Take away the skull that clearly showed the remains to be human, and it could have been a smokehouse’s dump - filled with finished ribs and chicken wings.
And yet, the final photo proved even more unsettling.
It was a still taken from one of the security cameras. At night, judging from the grey filter. It was still bright enough, however, for me to make out the grassy front of a bungalow. Bushes and shrubs lined the far end. A dark figure loomed over them, casting a long shadow.
I shivered once more.
I had walked into the bushes hundreds, if not thousands, of times. I knew how dense they could be - reaching up to your chests in many places. That figure - standing on two legs with long arms drooping at its side - barely had its knees covered by the shrubs. The photo, even though grainy, was clear enough for me to make out a domed head resting upon a neck so thick the figure might as well be said to lack one. Matching broad shoulders held up that neck, deltoids bulging. The… thing, apparently, had little hair as far as I could see.
I did not notice how hard I had clenched my jaws until a cramp-like pain made me grunt. Matthew could not be fucking with me, could he? I had worked with the guy for years. I called the local police station. The woman on the other end confirmed it. Unless a whole station was in on the prank with Matthew - an idea equally impossible as what I was seeing - it seemed like we had won the reverse lottery of missing and dead people cases.
As much as the Internet likes to make fun of its deadly wildlife, most of Australia has no large land predators. Dingoes are pretty much your average dog. The huge crocs live way too far to the north and sharks do not magically appear in the middle of bushlands. Neither looked like some psychopathic, cannibalistic basketball player wearing a shaved-clean, badly proportioned gorilla suit. The police’s best option was us, I could tell, but as far as me and Matthew went, we were equally clueless.
I shook my head and rubbed my temples - for a moment questioning my sense of reality. That was until an alert jabbed into the screen of my desktop. Matthew’s email.
Here are the footages, Tom. Crazy stuff. I got them to send us a scan of Madeleine’s journal, too. Found where those kids were seen last.
An unholy amount of files came in a link he attached.
The rest of my day was spent going through them all. I still know not what to make of what I saw, and I need time to collect myself before I can write of what I have seen on those tapes.
I need a nap. And dinner. But no meat. I agree with Matthew. As much as I loved a nice scotch fillet, I’m probably going vegan for a while.

An insurance agency plays a critical role in the insurance industry by acting as an intermediary between insurance companies and policyholders. Here’s an in-depth look at the functions and responsibilities of an insurance agency:
1. Representation and Sales

• Representation: Agencies represent multiple insurance carriers, offering a variety of insurance products such as health, life, auto, home, and commercial insurance.
• Sales: They sell insurance policies to individuals, families, and businesses, tailoring coverage to meet specific needs.

2. Consultation and Needs Assessment

• Consultation: Agents consult with clients to understand their insurance needs, financial situations, and risk exposure.
• Needs Assessment: They conduct a comprehensive assessment to recommend appropriate insurance products that provide adequate coverage.

3. Policy Customization and Quotes

• Customization: Agencies help customize insurance policies to match the unique requirements of each client, ensuring they get the best possible coverage.
• Quotes: They provide quotes from multiple insurers, allowing clients to compare options and choose the most suitable and cost-effective policy.

4. Application and Underwriting Assistance

• Application Assistance: Agencies assist clients in completing insurance applications accurately and thoroughly.
• Underwriting Liaison: They act as a liaison between clients and the insurance company’s underwriters, facilitating the process and addressing any issues that arise.

5. Policy Issuance and Documentation

• Policy Issuance: Once an application is approved, agencies help with the issuance of the insurance policy and ensure clients receive all necessary documentation.
• Record Keeping: They maintain detailed records of all policies issued and provide clients with copies of their insurance documents.

6. Customer Service and Claims Support

• Customer Service: Agencies provide ongoing customer service, answering questions, making policy adjustments, and handling renewals.
• Claims Support: They assist clients in filing insurance claims, guiding them through the process, and advocating on their behalf to ensure timely and fair settlement.

7. Risk Management and Advice

• Risk Management: Agencies offer risk management advice to help clients identify potential risks and implement strategies to mitigate them.
• Advice: They provide expert advice on coverage options, policy limits, and endorsements to ensure clients are adequately protected.

8. Education and Awareness

• Education: Agencies educate clients about different types of insurance, policy terms, and coverage options, helping them make informed decisions.
• Awareness: They keep clients informed about changes in the insurance industry, new products, and regulatory updates.

9. Renewal and Review

• Renewal: Agencies handle policy renewals, ensuring there is no lapse in coverage and that clients continue to have appropriate insurance.
• Review: They periodically review clients’ insurance needs and policies, making adjustments as necessary to keep coverage up-to-date with any changes in circumstances.

10. Regulatory Compliance

• Compliance: Agencies ensure that all transactions comply with state and federal insurance regulations, maintaining ethical standards and professional conduct.
• Licensing: They ensure that agents and the agency itself are properly licensed and meet all regulatory requirements.

Types of Insurance Agencies

1. Independent Agencies: Represent multiple insurance companies and offer a wide range of policies. They provide clients with more choices and flexibility.
2. Captive Agencies: Represent a single insurance company and sell only that company's products. They have in-depth knowledge of the insurer's offerings and policies.
3. Brokerages: Similar to independent agencies but typically work on behalf of the client rather than the insurer, often specializing in more complex or high-value insurance needs.

Besides the two variants the medal shop is just full of garbage boosters and tickets that nobody actually cares about, and the 200 gold and 400 credits is very lacklustre considering the shop lasts an entire month
Would it really hurt that much to put some tokens in there? Maybe even a Spotlight key for 10,000 medals, or really anything that we could grind for so it would actually feel rewarding to play
I enjoy Conquest because it encourages you to be strategic about snapping based on what you know about your opponent’s deck, but at this point it’s just ‘get the two variants and don’t touch it again until next month’ for most players
