Work cited generator 2010

I want to make one to play on my PS5 (using realms like I do with my other one) but I don't want to hand make it this time from flat. I know there's tools to generate specific mountains/trees/structures ect but does that stuff work for bedrock or just Java.

I kinda had a bad time with this, and thought I could offer a more direct resource for anyone else trying to get PCSX - ReARMed to detect the PSXONPSP660.bin bios.
I suspect most people are like me, and didn't realize they were supposed to have an updated official bios installed when running PSX - ReARMed. Now a whole can of worms has opened, because GameSwitcher has sorta poisoned your setup, by generating save states bound to the HLE BIOS by the time you saw this message.
So, while it is indeed as simple as dropping the bios into the BIOS folder, there are a couple things that need to happen first, and gameswitcher is going to be kind of an annoyance here.
So, the first thing you need to know, is that the save states, and saves are associated with the default HLE bios. Despite the fact that you have placed the BIOS file in the correct directory, the game will still load with the fallback HLE bios EVEN IF YOU RESET THE GAME.
First of all, I recommend downloading the file explorer from the package manager before you begin anything.
1.) Download PSXONPSP660.BIN bios from it's github.
2.) Rename PSXONPSP660.BIN to PSXONPSP660.bin (lowercase 'bin').
3.) Place PSXONPSP660.bin in the /BIOS directory at the root of your SD card
NOTICE
Gameswitcher is a headache now, because if you boot into the game, it automatically defaults to it's save states that are associated with the HLE BIOS. Yes, even if you reset the game. So we need to do some cleanup for any game that you wish to use with the new bios.
WARNING!
Proceeding with this next step is necessary to get the new bios working with any game you have previously played with the default HLE BIOS. We have to delete those save states and you WILL LOSE ANY PROGRESS made on the HLE BIOS.
4a.) It is possible that the saves will still work, so we will leave them for last, and start with the save states. From root go to /Saves/CurrentProfile/states/PCSX-ReARMed/
4b.) Inside this directory you will see all of the save states GameSwitcher has generated associated with your games. Find the game you intend to play with the new bios, and delete it's save state.
5.) Once finished deleting save states, exit file explorer. For good measure, Hover over 'Games' in the Home screen, press Select, and 'Refresh all roms'.
6.) Turn off device.
7.) Restart device.
8.) Try to start game. If you receive the bios compatibility warning again, you unfortunately have to axe everything. Also GameSwitcher became involved again, and has regenerated save states associated with the HLE bios for that game...essentially undoing everything we have done, but it was worth doing to see if your saves could be recovered, right?
Go into file explorer and perform steps 4a-4b again and move to step 9.
9.) From root go to /Saves/CurrentProfile/saves/PCSX-ReARMed/
10.) Find your game in the list, and delete it's save file
11.) Follow steps 5-7 again.
Your game is no longer associated with any save states or saves that are associated with the HLE bios. You are good to go, and running on the proper bios version to date.
You will know it worked, once you boot the game and the bios compatibility notice no longer appears.

A proposed tax on high-value real estate transactions to pay for affordable housing would add an estimated 3,210 affordable homes in Massachusetts over five years, according to the governor’s administration – a drop in the bucket of the state’s 200,000 housing unit shortage.
Despite only adding about 1.6% of the units needed to chip away at housing demand, the policy may be causing a delay in one of the biggest bills lawmakers are poised to tackle this session, which includes other proposed policies and capital funds that may do more for the state’s housing shortage.
Healey’s $4.1 billion housing bond bill – which she is marketing as the largest-ever state investment in housing in Massachusetts – includes the tax policy change in an outside section that would clear the way for additional local levies on property sales without any additional approval needed from Beacon Hill.
Under the proposed local option, any city, town or regional affordable housing commission can adopt a real estate transfer fee between 0.5% and 2% on the portions of a sale above a certain amount with a vote of their local legislative body. The threshold would be either $1 million or the median single-family home sales price for the county, whichever is greater. Revenue from the transfer tax would fund local affordable housing efforts and the preservation of existing public housing stock.
The administration’s estimate that this policy could generate 3,210 affordable housing units over five years is based on an assumption that 50% of Massachusetts’ cities and towns would adopt a 1% tax, then put that money toward subsidizing housing at about $350,000 per unit.
Based on fiscal 2022 transactions, the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities found that 53 municipalities in central and western Massachusetts had zero transactions above the $1 million threshold. Another 96 municipalities would have raised less than $100,000 in FY22 for each 1% levied.
Eighty-four communities could have raised over $1 million in fiscal year 2022 with a transfer tax, including a dozen between $5 million and $10 million. Revere and Somerville could have raised $10 million to $12 million, Cambridge $28 million and Boston $70 million for affordable housing with a 1% levy.
At least 11 cities and towns – Boston, Somerville, Cambridge, Arlington, Amherst, Chatham, Concord, Nantucket, Provincetown, Truro and Wellfleet – have sent the Legislature home rule petitions seeking permission to launch real estate transfer fees. Supporters say the measure is desperately needed to help more people to be able to afford to live and work in those communities.
Another policy included in Healey’s housing bill to authorize accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, by right in single-family zoning districts, would produce more than three times the amount of units across the state, compared to the transfer tax.
Supporters say ADUs, which are smaller buildings or apartments on the same property as a single-family home, offer additional housing for larger families with adult children or older parents, but they can be difficult to get permitted in some communities.
Officials said that based on adoption rates in New Hampshire and California, the permitting reform could lead to production of as many as 10,000 units in Massachusetts in five years. The bill includes other policies meant to spur housing production – including setting a new simple majority voting threshold for inclusionary zoning ordinances and creating a streamlined process for dispensing state land toward housing purposes – as well as unlocking over $4 billion to support production, preservation and rehabilitation of more than 65,000 homes, according to Healey’s office.
Still, House Speaker Ron Mariano indicated last week the controversial real estate transfer tax has slowed down deliberations on the bill that Healey filed over seven months ago.
Mariano said the transfer tax is “not as popular as I thought it might be” within his chamber.
“I’ve been listening to a lot of members. A lot of comments about the taxation issue, around the transfer tax. And so it’s slowed me down a lot,” the speaker told reporters last week. “I’m gonna have to really weigh the measure of where that would, what would happen in the chamber if we brought that up.”
The News Service asked Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll for a reaction to the speaker’s comments about the transfer tax as she left the Mass Union of Public Housing Tenants lobby day on Monday morning.
“I mean, we really support the affordable homes bill, all of the policy provisions that are in it, and we look forward to working with leadership and frankly everybody in the delegation to try and get it over the goal line,” she responded.
Asked how she would pitch the transfer tax to representatives who may not be on board, Driscoll noted that the policy is local-option, so cities and towns would not be forced to enact the new tax.
“We think it’s a real tool for local communities who want to be able to invest in affordable housing within their boundaries,” she said. “Having these resources is critical to that, and we frankly really appreciate the flexibility that communities will have to choose to accept this transfer fee. It will be a local option for cities and towns.”
Housing and Livable Communities Secretary Ed Augustus emphasized that revenue generated from the transfer fee could also be used to preserve existing housing.
“We think it’s an important tool, and today we’re talking to public housing tenants,” Augustus said in an interview after the Monday morning Mass Union of Public Housing Tenants event. “We specifically said in the legislation that communities that decided to opt into a transfer fee would spend it on affordable housing creation, preservation or public housing. And we see in some communities that there are great partnerships with their local public housing, and they make capital investments ... So we think it can also be a way to preserve and improve the public housing stock in communities through the transfer fee.”
Senate President Karen Spilka sidestepped a question this weekend over whether she supports a local option transfer tax. Spilka, asked in a television interview whether she supports Healey’s pitch to allow municipalities to impose the real estate transfer fee, said her chamber is “still debating it.”
“The housing bill hasn’t even come to the Senate yet. The House is doing it first,” Spilka said on WCVB’s “On The Record,” which aired Sunday. “We are working on some pieces, but I think that we need to look at whatever we do with the eye of ensuring that we continue to build housing in every corner of the state and make it more affordable for residents.”
Spilka, asked by OTR host Sharman Sacchetti whether the $1 million threshold for the transfer tax proposal was “set too low” considering the volume of Massachusetts homes that are worth more than that amount, did not directly answer.
“That will be a big discussion and debate among the senators, so I’m waiting to hear from the Senate,” Spilka said. “We haven’t had that debate and discussion yet, so we’ll see.”

hi friends, longtime viewestalker of the thread. I recently went through my own deconstruction and found The New Evangelical's content a good place to start. However...I noticed they cite themselves as being a "non-profit." I'm wondering how this works? Aren't they just a deconstruction content farm? I've heard the main guy say a few times "i'm not an influencer" but in all reality, it's 99% him (he's an influencer whether he likes it or not lol). I see they have a board, which makes sense, but I'm still having trouble understanding how this is any different then just another social media influencer.
A non-profit is "an entity that is created and operated for charitable or socially beneficial purposes rather than to make a profit," but their website shows they do generate quite a bit of revenue. How are they any different than any other Instagram influencer?
really not trying to throw them shade. I'm just curious how this works.

Ocean Protocol's latest product, Predictoor, has reached over $400M in monthly staking volume within just six months. This achievement is fueled by the "token flywheel" concept, which drives growth by increasing the network's value as more users join.
Trent McConaghy, founder of Ocean Protocol, introduced the Web3 Sustainability Loop to support long-term growth. Here’s how it works:

• Initial Token Sales: Fund development.
• Value Delivery: Generate revenue.
• Reinvestment: Create more features and support third-party applications, increasing revenue further.

This model is inspired by corporate finance and national economies, where funding leads to growth and reinvestment. Tokens not only exchange value but also provide governance power within the network DAO. As the token's utility grows, so does its demand and value, continuing the growth cycle.
Ocean Protocol applied this model by focusing on data value creation and data supply chains. They:

• Chose a Target Vertical
• Developed a Data Product
• Defined Their Market Strategy

The result? Ocean Predictoor achieved over $400M in monthly staking volume within six months of launch.
The main question was, "How do people make money in the open data economy?" The answer: "Create value from data, monetize it, and reinvest in further growth." This cycle is known as the Data Value-Creation Loop:

• Predictoors: Get training data, build models, make predictions, and sell them via smart contracts.
• Traders: Buy predictions, trade, and (hopefully) profit.

Profits are reinvested to buy more data, closing the loop. Traders buy predictions with $OCEAN, and Predictoors stake OCEAN to earn rewards, driving token demand.
In late 2023, Ocean launched Predictoor, offering price predictions for the top 10 crypto tokens like BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP. Predictoor gathers predictions, aggregates them, and sells them to traders, all while preserving privacy. Predictoors are rewarded for accuracy and staking, and traders use predictions for trading insights.
To ensure early success, Ocean ran their own prediction bots and offered staker rewards. Predictoor Data Farming (DF) provides 37,500 OCEAN weekly rewards and 20,000 ROSE weekly rewards through 2024. This strategy proved effective, with monthly staking volume surpassing $400M in less than six months.
What do you think about Ocean Protocol's approach and their success with Predictoor?

I (22f) work at a law firm with duties like legal research, prepping and drafting legal documents, cite-checking and filing documents, assisting attorneys with discovery, etc. I have a Bar Association Paralegal Certificate and am a Notary Public, yet my job title is “Legal Secretary.” It feels outdated to me, maybe especially because I am a woman, and I don’t think it does justice to everything that I do. I was only just recently hired here, though. So should I ask to change my job title?

Hi all,
I am a starting entrepreneur selling online and offline quizzes I’ve build in Microsoft PowerPoint.
Every quiz needs a Windows Laptop using PowerPoint 2010 or newer. Since im using 50+ audio files (including Flac).
I’m sending the Powerpoint in a .zip file with all the audio files in an extra folder and the PowerPoint is loading the files from the folder.
Since this Quiz Powerpoint is limiting my sales to Windows and PowerPoint 2010 or newer users. PowerPoint online and Mac PowerPoint isn’t working properly. You keep getting the message asking if you want to allow each individual audio file before it plays on Mac.
I am looking for a solution to expand my sales across various platforms and to replace PowerPoint with a (web) app or website that can host an interactive quiz. This app or website should be easy for me to maintain and update as I release new versions.
I am willing to pay for web development services. However, I am not sure what specific search terms or categories to use on Fiverr to find the right developer for this project.
Could someone please guide me on how to find a web developer who can build an interactive quiz platform that I can easily manage myself?
Thank you very much for your help!

One of the biggest frustrations I see people having in this group is with the YouTube Algorithm. They are 110% certain that they aren’t getting any views because the algorithm is broken. Instead of spending time improving their content, they spend most of their time, trying to prove to themselves and everyone else – “The YouTube Algorithm is broken and not working as it should”. Or the classic – “The YouTube algorithm only pushes content from big YouTube Channels”.
Today I wanted to share with you what I’ve learned about the infamous and evil “Algorithm” and how it applies to your YouTube channel. Hopefully it helps give you clarity on the YouTube Algorithm and reframes your thinking when it comes to building a successful YouTube channel. I also hope it helps reduce the frustration and the burn out you may feel because your channel isn’t where you want it to be.
The YouTube Algorithm is an AI-powered recommendation system, which is designed to put the BEST and most engaging content in front of viewers on YouTube. It does this by analyzing large amounts of data that tracks the preferences and habits of viewers. The cool and frustrating thing about the algorithm is that it changes over time. For example, the algorithm used to favor subscriber counts, but it has recently shifted and prioritizes views. I am sure there are other tweaks and shifts that happen often, but this was the most noticeable change.
Here is where it gets frustrating, most new content creators are misled by random bits of information from “YouTube Experts” about how the algorithm works. And when their videos flop on YouTube, the only reason they can come up with is – “The Algorithm is not working correctly.”
The truth is, in order to understand how the algorithm works, you first have to accept one simple fact. An algorithm will always work in favor of a company’s policies, values and mission statement.
Now that we know this, let’s dive a little deeper. YouTube’s approach prioritizes the 4-Rs

1. REMOVE content that violates its polices.
2. REDUCE false news.
3. RAISE UP authoritative sources for news and information.
4. REWARD trusted creators.

In their creator videos, YouTube says – “YouTube’s recommendation system actually finds videos for viewers, rather than finding viewers for videos” - Put simply, YouTube prioritizes the VIEWER – not the CREATOR! Let me say it another way just for emphasis – Viewers want to see videos THEY WANT TO WATCH, not the videos YOU WANT TO MAKE.
Although the algorithm takes into account several factors when recommending content, it can be split into two main categories
• Viewer Personalization – This includes data about what videos users watch and which ones they ignore.
• Viewer Satisfaction – This measures the performance of a video based on metrics like longer watch time, video shares, likes, comments, subscribes and watch history.
Reading the comments and posts, it seems a lot of people don’t take into consideration the fact that; “The Algorithm” is a term that reflects the behavior and viewing habits of YOUR audience. It’s not some robot deciding if it should show your video to other people or not. It is also very important to remember, because YOUR audience loves YOUR videos, it doesn’t mean other people will.
How to win with the algorithm audience on YouTube.
1). Make the tough decision on how you want to use the YouTube Platform. It doesn’t matter what you decide to do, just always keep in mind each decision has different outcomes, and success is not guaranteed.
a. Do you view YouTube as a place to share your life/experiences and videos on YouTube. This is fine, but you need to remember all art, isn’t fine art. If your art isn’t appealing to the masses, you may get frustrated and burnt-out creating content for people who aren’t interested.
b. Do you view YouTube as a business and an opportunity to make money. This is also fine, but at this point you become a “contracted” employee of YouTube, and it is your responsibility to make sure you adopt their business model and align your content with YouTube’s expectations – Do this and you are more likely to succeed.
2). Understand the metrics and how/where YouTube places your content.
A. YouTube Search – YouTube is a search engine, and it prioritizes your content based on the following
i. Relevance – your videos should have appropriate keywords, titles, tags and descriptions.
ii. Engagement – your videos should have high watch time, likes, and comments.
iii. Quality – Your videos should have quality content, display expertise and trustworthiness.
B. YouTube Homepage – Here is where most viewers start their journey. Here a viewer can see video ads, relevant videos and shorts that a person may be interested in.
C. Recommended Videos – Videos are recommended to users based on their watch history, search history, channel subscriptions, country and time of day/month/year.
D. Trending Videos – Trending aims to share videos that appeal to a large audience. Think viral videos, new music videos or breaking news. – Things that instantly capture a viewer’s attention.
E. Subscriptions and Notifications – Videos are shown to people who have subscribed to your channel and/or are notified of your latest content.
Always remember to succeed at YouTube you have reframe your thinking and use logic and data to drive your decision making and content strategy. Don’t let misinformed “YouTube Experts” influence your decision making. In 2023 YouTube generated 31.5 billion dollars in revenue and reached 2.7 billion active users – How can they do this if their algorithm is broken?
It’s a tough pill to swallow, but greatness is only achieved by setting aside our egos. Stop worrying/arguing about the algorithm, and work on making small improvements and connecting with your audience. Bruce Lee once said – “It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don’t concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.”
Disclaimer – I am not a YouTube expert, but I am an expert in the Information Technology field, and I use data and analytics to make data driven decisions and to craft and tell compelling stories.

I hope nobody else is doing this. And I hope you enjoy it because this is not going to be a regular occurrence. This season of German football was just too good to not write up. So let’s go over some storylines.
Bayer Leverkusen: 50. Fucking. Matches. Unbeaten. Do you realize how impressive that is? The fact that it was Never-kusen to do it is insane. Mostly down to Xavi Alonso being the next elite manager. He completely changed the Bayer team. Grimaldo, Frimpong, Wirtz, Boniface, Stanisic, Schick, Tapsoba. The building blocks of a title winning team. Congrats, boys, you saved German football. If you win this treble, it will be one of the greatest stories in football history. You ended the Bayern monopoly after years of stagnation. The goal now will be to keep the gang together. Alonso has already thwarted attempts for Bayern, Liverpool, and Madrid to sign him. The squad remains the big question. It’s not about whether key players will be sold, it’s about which ones.
Stuttgart: The amount of times I’ve double taked on 2nd place is comical. This team was fighting relegation last season. They only survived because they won the pro-rel playoff. Now they’re playing Champions League football next campaign. Guirassy surely was the story of the season. Deniz Undav regained his spot with Streets Won't Forget FC after his redemption campaign. Jee Woo-Yeong was a rock in midfield. Alex Nubel kept the ball out of the next making him a prime candidate as the next great German goalkeeper. More credit is due to their manager, Sebastian Hoeneß. Yes I Googled his name and copy and pasted it. The man got this team into the Champions League, a massive achievement for this club. A brilliant mind like that surely warrants a payday. Please don't let him get poached by Bayern.
Bayern Munich: An absolutely appalling season by the standards set in previous regimes. You have to understand, though. This Bayern was COOKED from the start. Thomas Tuchel bitched and moaned about Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka's uselessness in a double pivot. He wanted a new No. 6. In the end, the Bayern board decided to use all their transfer funds on Harry Kane. The ROI on that move has been as advertised, with Kane only posting his best statistical season ever. The downside: Bayern went trophyless. You are reading that correctly. Not only that, they finished 3rd. Tuchel beefed with key players like Matthjs de Ligt and Kim Minjae. Injuries to guys like Gnabry and Coman also crippled the depth. Leroy Sane proved to be good strictly in the Champions League. Alphonso Davies was great but non-committal on his future in Munich. Eric Dier was brought in on loan and became a critical player in the second half of the season. Yes, that Eric Dier. It's now Kingsley Coman's first season without a league title since 2014. The Champions League could've been great, had it not been been for some fishy calls made in Real Madrid's favor in the semis, but it was not an elite team. Now they must truly rebuild, and first step is finding Tuchel's replacement. Which...nobody seems too keen on taking this job. The expectations are too high, and the rebuild is just too massive. You feel stupid for sacking Julian Nagelsmann now?
RB Leipzig: It was a growing year for the Red Bulls after bringing in so many new faces. Xavi Simons, Lois Openda, and Benjamin Sesko certainly excite but they are highly inconsistent. Openda still posted 24 goals across the season, with Sesko adding 14. Simons with 11 asissts was massive. Defensively, they were much more sound. Willy Orban managed to lock down the backline, finally. Mohamed Siamakan took large strides forward. Benjamin Heinrichs cemented himself as one of the lowkey ballers in Europe. The problem still remains doing it for longer. They were constantly hovering between 5th and 4th this season, and luckily results picked up at the back-end of the season to cement another season of European football. Marco Rose bought himself another season, where hopefully he will be able to shape the team to his liking. Stalwarts like Dani Olmo and Youssef Poulson might be moved on to generate funds. Leipzig clearly has ambitions now that the Bayern monopoly is on life support.
Dortmund: This team is a goddam headache. What the hell do you mean they made the Champions League Final and beat PSG convincingly to get there? Dortmund did that indeed. Their league form has been absolutely mid. They can string together some results but clearly lack the guile necessary to mount a title challenge. Or even a Pokal contention. But this is the current holder of the Vibes FC badge. Julian Brandt was the driving force of this team. He only had 15 goal involvements all season, but his passing was critical to set up the play. Niklas Fullkrug capitalized on his newfound status as the leader at the top. Gregor Kobel backstopped an otherwise leaky defense made up of aging Mats Hummels and the fat version of Niklas Sule. Jadon Sancho got exiled from Manchester United and came home. He wasn't the 20 and 20 player but he showed glimpses. Karim Adeyemi also took massive strides forward. Other standouts include Jamie Bynoe-Gittens becoming the next English player to develop abroad. Even if you don't win the UCL final, you managed to get Germany the 5th UCL qualifying spot.
Eintracht Frankfurt: Frankfurt's problems can boil down to a very simple reason: no real replacements. They lost Kolo Muani, Lindstrom, N'Dicka, and Kamada all in one summer window. The biggest loss was Oliver Glasner stepping down last year. Yet, they managed to get back into Europa League. Omar Marmoush only potted 12 goals across the season. The rest of it came down to collective effort. Ansgar Knauff showed some potential but is still too raw. Mario Gotze is still here and was already slowing down last year. This campaign all but confirmed it. Robin Koch fled the relegation of Leeds United to return to the German national team as their lead defender and a national team call-up. Kevin Trapp is still managing to keep himself under the radar but was still important for Frankfurt's fortunes. Dino Toppmöller deserves praise for this coaching job. Now the question will be is can he do it again?
Hoffenheim: Congrats, boys, you're going back to Europe. The Conference League should be an ample test of your mettle and growth as a club. But who are we kidding? For those who don't know, Hoffeheim are one of the few German clubs that benefit from a wealthy owner. 50+1 always has loopholes, and Deitmar Hopp has been willing to spend to get his club back into the big time. It hasn't worked to the extent some might hope, but it is indeed progress. A 32-year-old Andrej Kramaric was one of their standout players, and a mentor for young striker Max Beier. Both posted 14-goal seasons, enough to carry Hoffenheim up the table. USMNT fans got to watch the John Brooks redemption story. There were times where this team was outclassed by lesser opponents, though. Doesn't spell good for the next season.
Heidenheim: Bayer Leverkusen were the feel-good story of the season, but honorable mention goes to Heidenheim. Winning both the 3rd and 2nd division title is nice and all, but the Bundesliga is not the lower tiers. It's all good, though. A solid mix of German vets and young players created a hungry squad with a point to prove. Most would say a 2. Bundesliga club should focus solely on survival. Heidenheim said fuck that, let's shoot for a European spot. They just barely missed out but this is a massive step forward. Please for the love of all that is holy capitalize on the moment.
Werder Bremen: The club image restoration campaign continues. Werder is a former Bundesliga champion that has dropped to such a low they were in the 2. Liga just a few seasons ago. Since then they had relied on Niklas Fullkrug to carry them to survival. This latest finish is a massive improvement. Now without Fullkrug, they are carried by a rag tag group of German, Danish, Belgian, and American players. Ninth place will at least be a building block to getting back to cultural and football relevance. I wouldn't expect them to suddenly be a contender, though.
Freiburg: Christian Streich is usually applauded for the work he has done to keep Freiburg afloat in the top flight. This was another fruitful season, even if it seems anti-climatic. They had multiple players put 7 goals or more. Vincenzo Grifo was the top scorer, a midfielder, but added 8 helpers in addition. What more is there to say? The club is still fighting for its return to European competition after a pretty brutal time in the Europa gulag. Congrats, boys, you are now the West Ham of Germany.
Augsburg: Sorry you had to be Leverkusen's whipping boys on the final matchday, but someone had to be sacrificed for the Invincible run. Augsburg should feel lucky they finished 11th. 15 losses usually spells trouble, but they were rescued by clutch scoring from Ermedin Demirovic. It's better than previous seasons but don't you feel just a little bad about getting rid of Ricardo Pepi now? He won the Dutch league title with PSV. I don't know, you could've used him.
Wolfsburg: You know how Tree says "Detroit channeled a rear-ended Pinto?" Wolfsburg channeled a rear-ended Golf. It was an incredibly hot-and-cold season, which I guess should be expected when you employ Ralph Hassenhuttl as your manager. Yes, that Ralph Hassenhuttl, the man singlehandedly responsible for Southampton's relegation. Nico Kovacs was steering the ship into the abyss, and was promptly canned at the right moment. Replacing him with Ralph didn't improve anything. One day Wolfsburg would do something cool like beat Leipzig. The next they would lose to Union Berlin. Last season, Wolfsburg was just a few points outside a European spot. Now you've entered hell: mid-table.
Mainz: Bo Henriksen is at least trying to build something at Mainz. It was clearly not going to be easy. When you lose 4-1 to Union Berlin on the second matchday, that spells trouble. They did managed to get some decent results, but they were Bayern's punching ball one March day. 8-1...fucking hell (stoppppp! he's already dead!!). You managed to avoid the drop so I guess that's progress. You have an exciting young forward in Jonathan Berkhardt, and decent defensive stability with Sepp van de Berg and Philip Mwene. Don't get too excited, you have a long way to go before you're back at the big kids table.
Gladbach: There was a time when Gladbach were punching into European football. It's not this season, because this was a dumpster fire. Had Mainz not collected one more draw, Gladbach would've finished higher on goal difference. Which is -11...woof. The team lacked any defensive cohesion, and could barely string together a good run of form. Most times they had to keep rescuing themselves in squeaky bum time. USMNT fans won't want to hear it but Jordan Pefok and Joe Scally are not beating the mid allegations. Pefok only scored 5 goals. Scally still doesn't look like a legitimate starting right back. The legend of Julian Wiegl continues as he amassed ten yellow cards in a single season. They're a pretty young team so there is time to improve, but this is a real mess.
Union Berlin: The curse of the Champions League struck Union Berlin with a fiery vengeance. It is not unfair to say they were incredibly underprepared for the gauntlet that is elite European football. Almost all of the moves they made backfired. Bringing in Leonardo Bonucci for UCL experience only to find he was washed. He got exiled to the Turkish league for his fraudulent crimes. Brenden Aaronson was loaned in after he too fled relegation of Leeds United. He put up 4 goal involvements in one season...Medford Messi my ass. Roben Gosens was somehow the top scorer. He's a fullback. The honeymoon is over. It really took them until the final matchday to survive. That late penalty against Freiburg saved them for the drop. Good, you survived. Now don't fall off like that again. Your fans can be incredibly proud of you, considering you look way better than Hertha.
Bochum: Yea about what you expect with this club. They're a German yo-yo club. Yes, they do indeed exist. Sure, they still have a chance to stay up with pro-rel playoff coming up, but I don't expect much ever. Take your annual triumph over Bayern and get the fuck out. Getting absolutely bodied by Leverkusen to cement their title was a courtesy to you. Don't lose that playoff.
FC Koln: You guys fucking suck. I thought for sure Koln would at least put up more of a fight after getting promoted last season. Only collecting five wins?? FIVE? This is a goddam travesty playing out in real time. Yo-yo club status cemented. Given what I saw you'd be lucky to get back in to the top flight after this season.
Darmstadt: Darmstadt had two major problems that hindered their season. They couldn't defend, and they couldn't score. Double whammy if you ask me. Somehow you make teams look like Real Madrid. You got some wins over your relegation rivals. Take what you can, I guess. I think the 2. Liga is probably more your speed, though.

I've got a 2010 Access cab 4x4 with auto transmission. I've driven manuals since I was a teenager, and I thought I might like an auto - but I don't, bordering on hating it.
I'd hire some of the work, and do some myself and I would love to hear from anyone who has gone through the process.
"Why don't you just sell it and buy a manual?" you might ask. Well, what I want is an effing unicorn: Access cab / 4x4 / manual are super rare. I've been looking but haven't seen any. Also, I know my truck is solid, no rust, has been well maintained and not abused.

TL;DR: What are my options to finding claim details not in my EHR without having to involve my boss when I don't have clearinghouse access?
This is gonna be long because I don't really have another outlet to vent about this OR ask my practical question. Buckle up and thanks for reading!
Context:
I am working in a group practice. Despite being in the field for over a decade, this is my first time providing services for a fee and dealing with anything billing or insurance related. The practice is run by two owners, let's call them "Sarah" and "Jack." The owners are pleasant enough to deal with 98% of the time, however, they are known for being hot-headed and possibly even verbally abusive. This has been cited by several employees who have left and I have experienced degrees of it myself. To make matters worse, they are VERY private and protective over anything related to the behind the scenes of running their business, which is somewhat understandable. I've been told this started when past former employees took information/resources/clients provided by the company and started their own competing company (though this is hearsay since I didn't work for them at the time). But because this is all very new for me, sometimes I have had questions or made well-intentioned efforts to advocate for my clients that unfortunately have been met with defensiveness, suspiciousness, and variations of "stay in your lane" (a phrasing my boss knows for a fact is particularly triggering for me). So I now find myself having palpable anxiety reactions at the thought of angering them with during conversations.**
It will also be helpful to know that the bulk of the employee turnover has been in the administrative/billing department. In fact, in the 18 months I have worked for the company we have had 3 separate billers, with Sarah & Jack filling in during interims.
Current Situation:
There have been some issues with employees having discrepancies with paychecks/taxes. We are paid our (fair and reasonable percentage) of session fees biweekly "in arrears" (aka once insurance pays). I have been lax in tracking all this and decided to sit down and go through my records as I prepare my taxes (I filed an extension lol). This personal accounting tracking has essentially involved me looking in our EHR (Simple Practice) at key pieces of information: 1) Session dates for the past year for each client, 2) Whether those claims were submitted to insurance vs Self Pay, 3) When the session was paid by insurance (and associated claim #s), 4) The amount paid, and 5) whether that correct amount showed up in the right biweekly paycheck.
In working through this process I have come across several client charts where I cannot go through this tracking for one of several reasons. For most of these the issue is that sessions are marked as "paid" and an amount is listed and there are associated claim #s & clearinghouse references; however, the claim details unable to be viewed. This means for these claims/charts I cannot see the date they were paid in order to figure out which paycheck they belong on to verify I am not missing any fees I was expected to be paid. I have also identified a few sessions that were billed incorrectly (either sent to insurance when shouldn't be or charged full fee to client when they shouldn't be). There are also a few where the amount I was listed as having been paid doesn't match the contract rate but I cannot verify why without any claim details.
I want to be clear that my first thought is that these are honest errors and the issue has a lot to do with too many different billers with different way of processing things AND my limited access as a non biller or administrator in the EHR system.
Dilemma and Complications:
I have tried looking in Simple Practice at everything I can see and there is just missing info no matter how I slice it. Months ago I tried requesting access to Availity but the biller at the time denied that, so I do no have clearinghouse access and don't anticipate Sarah & Jack would be open to giving me any. As much as I can't afford the time to do so, I figured maybe I have to call the insurance companies about each of the claims... But my first attempt at reaching out to BCBS was a bust since I couldn't reach a provider services agent and the member services agent couldn't give me much info, just could "verify" what I asked her (i.e. was claim from 5/1 paid out for $100?). So that doesn't help because the main info I need is the payment date and they couldn't give it to me.
So I tried reaching out to the company's current biller (who overall I like) to see if we could have a phone meeting to review these charts. My thought process was that she would have access to the needed info OR insight as to why it might not be available. But she forwarded the message to Sarah & Jack who asked I deal with them directly about it. The exact response was "Please tell me who you need clarity on so I can look at the charts and we can meet after I have had a chance to review." I know this seems innocuous...but...I am TERRIFIED to do this! For one thing, any prior discussions about possible billing issues have been poorly received. Furthermore, I have already sent emails to Sarah & Jack about some of these billing errors closer to the dates of service, so I fully anticipate they will be defensive if I point out they were not addressed/corrected. I know it is irrational but a part of me feels betrayed by the biller and as if I was "fed to the wolves."
Maybe I am wrong, but I feel like the information I am asking for should be accessible to me as the provider of the service and whose NPI number was used for billing. I am fully aware that some of why I can't see the needed info on my own may be due simply to technology or innocent past mistakes...but I worry Sarah & Jack will not see it this way or understand I am not intentionally searching for errors for malicious or litigious reasons. Honestly, I don't even care about the timing of the payments...I am just trying to do personal finance accounting to make sure I am "whole" for the past year.
So allllll that is to say.....is there any option for info access I haven't considered? Is avoiding Sarah and Jack worth the time to try and keep contacting the insurance companies? If I do have to go through Sarah and Jack, any advice on how to present this info to reduce blow back/anger?
** P.S. I know I can/should quit and that this is not an appropriate way to run a business or treat employees. But I am not in a position to leave at this time. So I am trying to find the best way to navigate the current circumstances until I am able to leave.
***P.S.S. Please be kind. I already feel weak, stupid and shameful for being in this situation. I know I should have dealt with it sooner and that I am a grown ass competent professional who shouldn't be feeling this fearful in a professional situation like this. But here we are.

I need some advice regarding a financial background check required for my new job.
All my official documents (electoral roll, bank, HMRC, etc.) are registered at my parents' home, my permanent address, even when I was at university. After uni, I moved in with my brother and his girlfriend for a year before starting my master’s and then the new job. We've moved twice due to lease changes. While living with them, I updated my HMRC and one bank account to my current address to match work records. I’m not on the lease, council tax, or electoral roll at my brother’s address, but I do pay rent to him.
For my job's financial check, I need to provide address history. I’m concerned about ensuring the credit report matches the details I provide. I made an Experian account, listing my current address for the past three years, which shows my parents' address as my permanent one and my current address with my brother. This is because I gave them this information so that they can’t generate a report. No linked addresses appeared. Not even my parents and I do have a credit card issues at my parents address as it’s my permanent address.
I haven't pulled reports from the other credit agencies yet. Should I only list my parents' address? What if they ask for proof? The only documents I have with my current address are bank statements.
By the time the background checks are done, I’ll have moved back with my parents for 6-8 months.
What should I include in my address history to avoid issues, and what proof should I provide?

My background: I've got 4 years of sales experience, 1 as an inside sales rep, 1 as an AM and 2 (my last position) as an Account Executive. Each year I was an AEX, I was a Presidents Club attendee. I was laid off last spring and took a non-sales job working as a technical business process consultant for a former customer.
So, I just interviewed for an AEX role at a SaaS company; thought I had it in the bag but they hired someone with more years of experience and existing customer contacts in the territory (it made sense to me) - but the VP apparently really liked me and wanted to find a way to get me at the company, so the recruiter offered me a fast-track interview for a Field Services Sales Representative position.
When I was an AEX, I sold both Software and Services - pretty much as a package deal but also team sold the services with a Solution Consultant who generated some opps.
My recruiter made a note that my previous Services quota was higher than my software quota and I was a consistent over-achiever so I'd be perfect for this role.
I'm curious to know if anyone out there is a services-only seller and what your experience is like? I know this is a bit abstract...I've yet to interview with the manager so I can't really get a feel just yet for where this position sits within the team. To me, it seems like a more glorified inside-sales rep focused on services upsells.

I feel like people get too obsessed with "working smarter, not harder" and will refuse to complete tasks which they feel are "too inefficient" to do, and then don't offer an alternative themselves, even if it's at the request of a client who provides revenue for the company and therefore pays their wages. Not to mention they hesitate and refuse to move on things because they are "too inefficient," yet they have no actual influence in their position on budgeting or prioritization.
I deal with data a lot at work, and I feel like sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get people to assist with tasks where they are the only people who have access to the data, and yet they won't grant access because they deem the request unnecessary and don't want to put in the two hours of work (or less) to complete it themselves.
In the same vein, people seem to have an attitude as though they are incapable of using the computer keyboard and copying over data manually. They act like it's some huge cost and burden for them to originate it or transfer it over from some other source if they can't migrate it all at once with some script, tool, or shortcut. They act like the world is going to end if they have to type or copy and paste it. Sometimes it's literally 3-5 steps manipulating data by formatting, joining and exporting a new table. It's not difficult, nor time-consuming.
Also, being obsessed with "smarter, not harder" may lead you to spend X hours trying to find a shortcut, when you could have started doing it manually immediately and been done in almost the same amount of time.
Some people blame it on generational deficiencies, but I won't bother doing that here. I'll just attribute it to laziness of the individual, because that's the impression I get every time this comes up.

i (20f) am fucking depressed as fuck. i’m at such a low rn i haven’t been to work in a week and i physically cannot convince myself to go even though i’m literally in hospital bill debt (from a suicide attempt a couple weeks ago). idk what to do. i have no motivation for anything but laying in bed, smoking weed, eating, video games, youtube content & masturbation/ sex. i’ve struggled with a lack of discipline and a dopamine addiction for as long as i can remember. i’m stuck in a contradiction of feeling like a lazy pos with no discipline or self control or someone with a genuine disorde mental issue. i’m not in school (graduated high school with a 3.7 gpa though) i don’t want to work…. ever, i have no goals in life besides being a mom (which is scary to think about bringing another human into this life that’ll have the same issues as me… my mom has the same problems), but loving a child and being a mother is all i want. i don’t want to pass it on for yet another generation. i feel so stuck. the only thing keeping me here is the amazing man i have who is so much stronger than i’ll ever be and his amazing son who has become my own. they are my everything and they’re my reason for living.. i’m ranting at this point by i just want some advice i guess? i wanna be better for them. i wanna be better for my future kid(s). i wanna be better for me so i don’t feel like a failure/ fuckup all the time. i am a dopamine addict and i chase pleasure. everywhere i go. but i’m also a genuine, beautiful individual who throws her entire heart and soul into the ones she loves. would jump in front of a bus 100x just to make them happy. i feel like a zombie. always tired.laying in bed all day everyday. i never want to leave it. it’s my safe space. my loved ones are here. they make me feel safe. the outside world doesn’t feel safe. it’s so so scary and sad out there and i just can’t. i’m not strong enough. i don’t want to be

I bought an iXpand drive (lightning to USB-c flash drive) to back up my device model: iPhone SE 2nd generation photos and videos. It works well enough and creates folders for months and years.
I know through the app, when I create an updated backup, it will only backup new photos and videos. But when I backup the drive to my PC, there's no special software for the device, I'm just dragging and dropping the whole backup folder.
How can I create future backups that only import new photos and videos rather than having to delete the entire old back up and import a whole new back up?
Also, is there any software for PC that allows me to browse Live Photos on PC? Like, just click on them and see a little clip rather than just see a JPEG and a short .mov file next to it in the file browser? (I understand the two files will always be separate there in the actual folders.)
Finally, I know I can use the Apple Devices app for Windows to back up my iPhone, but it seems to hide where the actual back up of the photos and videos are, making it difficult to browse them.
