Verona at middle river reviews

So, sadly, I just lost a beloved library job. I am a person with disabilities, and I was SERIOUSLY told, in my one and only disciplinary review, that they were concerned because my “body language makes it seem like [you] don’t want to be here.” Without bursting into flames (which I am so proud of) I told them that this was unfair. Disabled bodies often do not “speak” the same “language” as able bodies. When I sit, walk, stand certain ways, it is generally to accommodate the prevention of pain, but not to telegraph messages about where I want to be.
That said, no, I am not sitting with arms crossed, frowny faced, flipping the entire children’s department the bird. I was very happy in a part time position which mostly allowed me to have the dignity of pain free work, so long as I was careful how I sat in (long broken) chairs at a desk that was front facing.
I think when we talk about EDI, we often glaze over the challenges of those of us with disabilities. It seems really improper to me to be referring to how a disabled body works (or dies not) in terms of relaying body language. Am I overthinking/overreacting?

[M4A] "The Faceless" [Faceless Speaker x Artist Listener] [Costumer ] [Face reveal] [Frightened Listener] [Backstory] [A Request]
Speaker knocks on the door and Listener opens it
[Speaker's voice is slightly muffled and distorted]
"Good night , are you ..."
Speaker whispers
"Are you the Facemaker, Old Hope Street?"
...
Speaker exhales heavily
"Good thank God. I have a request, could I come in ?"
Listener let's the Speaker in
"Yes I know , no identity changes. Nothing with the law."
...
"I know I look...suspicious. The mask... The sunglasses in the middle of the night, but I promise I'm not . I just need a favour."
Speaker takes off his mask and sunglasses and places them on the table
"I'm ... faceless."
Listener gets frightened and hits up in the chairs behind them before falling
"Hey! Are you alright?"
...
Speaker's voice gets softer as he backs away from the panicked Listener
"It's okay, I'm stepping back . I just wanted to know if you're fine. "
...
"I won't come any closer. I swear to you."
...
"Please just hear me out... Just a little?"
...
"Okay fine I'll answer your questions first."
...
"As I said, I'm faceless. Barely any eyes, nose or even a mouth. Just a melted distorted nothingness. I thought seeing different species roaming around all these years would make people a little desensitized when they see someone as peculiar as me ."
...
"Yeah there aren't many faceless people,plus we aren't spoken about that much anyway. We are signs of the government's mistake. Why would they publicize us?"
...
"As there was a buzz in the news about us they made sure to kill it... So I can't blame you for being frightened."
Speaker laughs nervously
"Granted I did feel a little shitty ."
...
"The apology does help. How about a helping hand for mutual understanding? You've been on the ground for a while."
Speaker helps Listener to their feet
"Now that we're on equal footing you don't mind if I finish answering your question right?"
...
"A seat? Why thank you. I feel like we're making fast progress here. I've been upgraded to a guest ."
...
"Definitely not a jab to make you feel bad . I promise."
...
"Of course, of course, back to your question. We're standard victims of what military testing did to our environment. We started to change. Change can be frightening, change can be lonely. I saw my mom change, I saw my dad change and then I felt myself change. I couldn't tell you any specifics as to what caused this . They didn't know either and that was the worst part. They wanted us to be a little secret.
We were barred from getting out and it took years for us to slip a word out about our captivity. "
Speaker sighs
...
"There were human rights meetings and inter-species rights meetings. Technically we were humans but technically we became something else. The Council finally ruled that the military held us illegally and breached our rights. They had to let us go. Being locked away for years under military control really does a number on you. Even though we were free, we still felt captured."
Speaker's voice lowers
"We weren't who we used to be and they made sure that over all those years they told us that we would never be accepted because of how we looked... like a terrible mistake."
...
"I feel stupid... embarrassed to say that they were right. Since becoming faceless, I've never heard another kind word or compliment. So we still hide... we still cover our faces and our community stays isolated. I still wanted to be the person I was before, the person who still had a face and fit in somewhere. I came to the city and realized I could not be the person I was."
...
Speaker laughs uncomfortably
"You don't have to apologize for asking. I'm really desperate, I probably would have told you my story to get pity points anyway."
...
"I asked around, I know you are a special type of artist. They showed me your work, how your face masks look so real and natural. I've been trying to remember my old face before I completely changed. I do have this picture but I was really young so I don't know what I should look like now. To be honest, I don't think I'm strong enough to live this way so that's why I came to you. I'm on my last straw. I'm willing to give you everything to get even a semblance of what my face used to be even if it's just a mask ."
...
"Ahh ..."
Speaker sighs nervously
"That's a good question. I'd be curious too. Amplifier for my hearing but I have very low vision. You see they are mostly grown over on my left side so the narrow line of sight that I have is over on my right. I've managed to get a locator implanted. They're muff that cover where my ears were and that's how I hear you. "
...
"Oh so you've heard of it. Yeah my locator is in it. "
Speaker laughs
"It's really sick how they police our assistive equipment. Considering it's their fault. I had to sacrifice a lot to get this. My parents had to sacrifice so much to get this. In the name of giving me some sense of normalcy back. I'm grateful but I'm bitter about it. "
...
"You look curious. You can ... Ahh... Inspect it.
Listener leans over to take a look at the device and it clicks startling them
...
"It's because you're that close. It's alright, it's the proximity sensor. "
...
"Yeah I think the obnoxious beeping would make me more of an outcast. The clicks are.... Polite and quiet."
...
"I haven't heard it in a while. Nobody has been this close . Especially on purpose."
...
"Of course the artist must look at the canvas."
...
"I've really gotten used to it. I got it fairly young so it has become second nature. And it's even better when people go out of their way to stay away from you."
...
"You can laugh."
...
Speaker says softly
"It was funny to me..."
...
Speaker says shyly
"But the fact that you were close enough to hear it... That stunned me a bit."
...
"I know it's a lot to take in and it's late to inspect everything. You don't need to say a thing right now. I'd just like for you to take my request into consideration with what you've seen... Please."
...
"Here's my number . You could just call when you've made a decision. Naturally I move around at night so a 2am decision doesn't need to wait until the sun is out. "
FIN

Hello! I (22f) have been working out 4 to 5 times a week since February 4th of this year. My starting weight was 208.9 lb. For more background I'm 5'4 and this is the heaviest I've weight in my life. Growing up I was never active besides riding my bike in middle school. For as long as I can remember I've been a size 14 until after quarantine. After losing my step mother unexpectedly I gained significant weight to now a size 16. Currently I am not on any medication besides vitamins like vitamin D and a multivitamin. I used to take birthcontrol but I stopped sometime last year. I am still over 200lb after 4 months of working out. This morning i weight myself again and it said 204.3. I also eat below 1200 calories a week. Mostly high protein meals like chicken, broccoli, asparagus, salmon, quinoa, rice, pork, ect. I do have to be cautious of what I eat because I have IBS. I track my calories and work out for around 2 hours 4 to 5 times a day. My workouts include walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes at the highest incline on the 3 speed, alternating days on hitting arms, legs, back and stomach. Im starting to think there is something medically wrong with me. My family has a history of diabetes and high blood pressure. I have been tested for thyroid already and it's all good. Long story short I'm wondering if I should see a regular doctor like my family doctor, someone who specializes in like nutrition and working out or maybe I'm just overreacting. I don't want to go to the wrong doctors because I don't have insurance. Any and all advice would be so appreciative before I give up entirely.

I recently had to have my sewer main replaced after it collapsed. There was no existing clean-out at the curb so they weren’t exactly sure where the line ran. There was a tree along the curb in close proximity to where the line ran (of course) so there was a chance that it would have to come out. Towards the end of day 1 they knew that too many roots would be damaged so the tree had to come out. They made a vertical stack in the middle of the yard in order to temporarily reconnect the line until the tree was removed.
When they came back, I asked that there be a clean out at curb only since the grass is zoysia and no way to hide that in middle of the yard come winter. End of day 2 and the access cap is still there. They said it would be better for future issues. While I understood the theory, it’s only about 20’ away and the one at the curb is supposed to be a 2way. Can I just cap this and bury below the soil?

TL;DR
My team rowed across the Atlantic. I made a map that shows the conditions we encountered during our crossing.
Map isn't showing up? Here's a link until I can fix it: https://imgur.com/a/kzy9wDn
Backstory
I was part of a four-man team that rowed across the Atlantic in 2017 as part of the Talisker Wiskey Atlantic Challenge. Along our 5’000km voyage, our small crew rode the waves with dolphins, whales, and Russian freighters. We struggled with heat, seasickness, dehydration, sleep deprivation, technical issues, and waves that threw us off our seats.
Back in April 2014, three friends and and I started to seriously pursue the idea of rowing across the Atlantic. At the time, only one of us had ever rowed. We had no idea how to raise the ~150’000 USD needed for the project, nor how to navigate open seas. Coming from a landlocked country, our collective ocean experience literally amounted to a couple of casual days at the beach.
So we learned how to row, we went to the United Kingdom for technical training, and we bought a second-hand ocean rowing boat called “Mrs. Nelson.” Two weeks before setting off across the Altantic, we found ourselves on the beautiful island of La Gomera, Spain, carrying out the final preparations for our crossing. Preparing alongside of us were 25 like-minded teams, many of whom we now consider our dear friends.
The 2017 edition of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge launched on December 14th. We wanted to start strong, so for the first 30 hours we rowed as hard as we could for shifts of two-and-a-half hours with 90-minute breaks in between.
Seasickness kicked in almost immediately. Blisters and salt rashes followed soon after, and by the second day, we were already sleep deprived. I remember extrapolating my decline in well-being and being convinced that I'll look like Gollum by the time we make it across.
About three days into the race, having transitioned to two hours of rowing followed by two hours of rest, we finally got out of the wind-shadow of the Canary Islands and our ride became a lot wilder. Stronger winds meant taller waves and it turns out that waves do actually break in the middle of an ocean. Consequently, we regularly found ourselves surfing five to seven meter waves, which propelled us forward at 14 to 22km/h (Our speed-record for the whole crossing was just over 31km/h, surfing a wave that must have been close to ten meters tall.)
On the one hand, these were fantastic conditions as we were making great progress towards the finish line in Antigua. On the other hand, we were sitting about 30cm above water level in a boat that was less than 1.8m wide and just over 8m long in the middle of storm-like weather. Waves were breaking all around us and while we could surf some of them, others crashed right onto us, knocking us off our rowing seats. The murky night didn’t improve matters as it was often too dark to see the blades of our own oars, let alone the oncoming waves. I don't scare easily, but I was definitely scared most nights.
That being said, there was much more to our crossing than discomfort and fear. Never have I seen sunsets that came close to what we saw nearly every evening we were out there. Then, as dusk turned into night, innumerable stars appeared and we found ourselves rowing in the middle of the Atlantic under a clearly visible Milky Way. No appointments, no deadlines, no social obligations. Though seldom easy, life was very simple and the whole team sincerely enjoyed that. We talked about becoming fathers, discussed our professional careers, and literally pondered the meaning of life.
Interestingly enough, no matter how profound the initial topic of our conversations, we always ended up discussing which fresh food we were going to eat first after we arrived.
Anyway, when we finally reached Antigua after 30 days, 4 hours and 59 minutes at sea, we experienced the craziest welcome. The super yachts blew their horns and flares burned all around us. Our families and friends greeted us with open arms and led us to a white tablecloth, made ready with fresh burgers and cold beer. We could not have dreamed of a better arrival. It was an epic conclusion to an epic adventure.
Fast forward to recently, when I discovered that ECMWF publishes a global weather dataset that contains data all the way back to 1940. I realized that with the GPS track of our crossing, I could check what the conditions were really like during our crossing (I just had to know if the waves were really as big as I remember them). After playing around with the data for a bit, I ended up creating this map that shows weather and odometry data.
The wind data is shown as a quiver plot with numbers a 1 x 1 degree grid. Each grid point shows the wind and gust speed and direction for the time our boat was closest to that grid point. Similarly, the wave data is shown as a contour plot for the highest wave expected in a 20 min interval for when our boat was closest to each point. Daily average boat and wind speeds and directions are shown in a (retrospective) logbook next to the map.
Finally, if you have suggestions on how to make this map more presentable, please leave a comment! I tried to balance aesthetics and readability but I am neither a map maker nor a designer, any feedback is welcome.

Great article about Chris Licht- used to produce Morning Joe and Late Night with Colbert- as he tries to wrangle CNN into higher ratings... from the article:

Licht had wedged a rolling office chair in between the first and second rows of Control Room B, a darkened space that featured scores of monitors being manipulated by two dozen people in hooded sweatshirts and headsets...
“I want more movement. Lots of movement,” he told Eric Hall, the new program’s executive producer, who sat in the center of the first row. “What do I hate the most?”
Hall and a younger producer named Zachary Slater responded in unison: “Boxes.”
Licht nodded. “Boxes,” he said, referring to the Brady Bunch look on cable-news screens. “I don’t want it to be frenetic, but please make sure there’s movement. We need to see these people.”

This has been a huge change since Licht left MSNBC and (also) due to the Covid lockdowns where everyone was broadcasting from their home closet. Remember those long sweeping shots of the studio in the middle of their discussions? LIke, it was weird but so different, you could see the cameras moving at times in the background, but like a sweeping pan shot of the entire table. Very unique!
I miss that- I literally saw Morning Joe yesterday (Thursday) and they had three boxes at the top (Mika, Joe, Willie) and probably 6 boxes down below (Eugene, Katty, maybe the Rev I don't remember, Donny).
No movement. TONS of boxes. Probably drives Licht crazy seeing his old digs fall back into bad habits.

hi welding, i'm a middle aged guy looking to make a complete career change after getting fed up with working at a desk. one of the avenues i'm considering is welding after talking to a welder buddy of mine. i did a very small amount of SMAW in my metalshop class way back in high school in the late 90's, but otherwise have zero experience in the field so i'm looking to go back to school to get certs before i even attempt to get an apprenticeship.
to that end, does anyone know if the welding program at orange coast college is any good? or, if there are other programs in the area worth checking out, please let me know.
thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice.

I’ve been hit with severe vertigo the last few days. Like, can’t sit up without feeling like I’m on a boat in the middle of a storm level vertigo. I tried to make it through my shift today despite it but now I feel like my SSV is more angry with me even though I warned her at the beginning of the shift I was experiencing this and I might have to leave early if it gets worse. I ended up knocking a few drinks over, which wasn’t so bad until I nearly knocked a black brewed coffee on to a customer. I felt like I was going to pass out the whole time I was there.
I feel so bad because we are understaffed and it was crazy today but I just hit my limit. I didn’t feel like I was safe on the floor. The discussion actually started when a partner of mine mentioned to my shift that I had asked for her to cover me for a few minutes so I could have a glass of water and a sit in the back for a minute to see if it would pass. I wanted to try and stick it out because I didn’t want to leave my team short handed but my shift said I had to make a decision now because people were leaving. So I decided to leave because I didn’t know if it would get any worse. I was having trouble standing this morning and if it gets to that point again I didn’t want to screw over the team. But now I’m feeling so guilty. It feels like a catch-22 of disappointing people, and it’s not like vertigo is a food borne illness so it feels so stupid to have to leave over.
What is the best way to handle that situation? Is it better to just call out and not try? Did I handle it appropriately going until I felt it risked the safety of myself and others? Is it even an appropriate reason to leave over since it’s not contagious?

Hi, I'm not super great at financial stuff and I was hoping to just get a sanity check regarding how strict Fidelity is on specific details when recieving a direct rollover.
I'm trying to rollover a 401(k) into a rollover IRA with Fidelity, and I wanted to double check the details needed on the check. My 401(k) institution only offers the following options:
Pay to the order of: Fidelity Investments FBO First Last
Pay to the order of: FMTC FBO First Last
Additionally, the name associated with my rollover IRA account is formatted as First Middle Last.
Basically, I just want to know if the fact that the check will be missing my middle name and not paid to the order of the expanded "Fidelity Managment Trust Company" will be an issue at all. Thanks in advance!

This happened years ago, but still makes me ask, "WTF?"
Just for context, my sister is a very slow typer & she had very poor grammar.
When she was in middle school, she had a report due the next day or two days from this time. My mom, knowing I can type 90-100 WPM (words per minute) asked me to help by typing up this paper.
I agreed because it was only a two page paper. I sat down at my computer with her (my sister's) handwritten draft. As I got typing, I realized that she had a lot of grammatical errors. In my mind, that was her job to read it over and make sure it was written properly.
I type up the paper with all of her grammatical errors & misspellings & print it off. I give it to my mom. When my mom read it, she yelled at me saying I should've fixed my sister's mistakes.
I know editors exist to check for grammtical errors & to make sure the text flows, but they give the person who originally wrote it corrections to make for him/herself.
I was already doing a huge favor typing up this paper that was due soon, but I'm not going to do ALL her work.

Hi Reddit! My name is Sharon, and I am a college student interested in civic engagement and politics. I have been working on a project with some other students to make the Seattle City Council meetings more accessible by putting them into short summaries. I have put an example from last week below, though the real thing has a bit more formatting that doesn't translate into Reddit.
This project is relatively new, so we would really appreciate any feedback you may have and hope to make it as informative and accessible as possible! If you're interested in getting these newsletters every week, please click here: https://forms.gle/Yxo5fevVhVWmwcB78.

https://www.ft.com/content/81d56a02-ec1e-44b8-a7f6-8ba570398643 The six Glazer siblings could retain stakes in Manchester United in a proposed phased takeover of the football club by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is seeking a way through the share structure and family dynamics which have complicated the deal. 

The Glazer family started a strategic review more than six months ago but the process has dragged on with only two full takeover bids emerging for one of the biggest names in global sports

The offer from Ratcliffe and his Ineos chemicals empire is complicated because, unlike a rival proposal from a Qatari bidder, he is not seeking to acquire 100 per cent of United’s shares in one go, according to people close to the discussions. 

United has a listing on the New York Stock Exchange but the Glazers control 95 per cent of the voting rights thanks to a special class of B shares. The publicly traded A shares, which are largely held by minority shareholders, have minimal voting power.
Ratcliffe, who flew to New York for talks last month, is seeking to acquire at least enough B shares to hand him control of the club, in an offer that is not expected to be extended to common shareholders.
Some people in the process and those with links to the club had expected that United co-chairs Joel and Avram Glazer wanted a deal that would allow them to keep their shares and extend their stay, with their four siblings — Bryan, Darcie, Edward and Kevin — exiting in full.
Multiple people said the process, which was first announced in November last year, has been complicated by a lack of cohesion among the six Glazer siblings. The Glazers have also received several offers from investment firms to provide funds to inject into the club without a change of control.
However, two people with knowledge of the matter said the Glazers are now focused on a structure that would allow the six siblings to sell down their holdings in proportion to their holdings, allowing Ratcliffe to take control.
Ratcliffe and Ineos would buy the remainder of the Glazers’ shares in the coming years through derivatives contracts.
The structure of Ratcliffe’s bid means that he can part with less capital up front, obtain majority control and invest in the club.
“The penny has started to drop,” said one of the people. “There’s no requirement to make an offer for all shareholders.”
Uncertainty surrounding a deal has depressed United’s publicly traded shares since their mid-February peak of $27. At its current share price of $18.63, United’s equity is valued at around $3bn.
One issue around Ratcliffe’s plan to buy the B shares is that United stock exchange filings say the class B shares are “automatically and immediately” converted into class A shares on transfer from the Glazers “to a person or entity that is not an affiliate of the holder”.
One possible solution is for the Glazers to vote through changes that would allow the B shares to pass over to Ratcliffe without turning into A shares, two people close to the process said.
The Ineos group has remained flexible on structuring to increase its chances of winning over the Glazers, in a bid expected to value United at more than £5bn ($6.25bn), including debt. No deal is guaranteed and the structure could change, the people warned.
Despite growing frustrations among fans for clarity on the club’s ownership, no deal is expected imminently. United’s performance on the pitch has improved this season, with its final match at Wembley on Saturday in the FA Cup final against crosstown rival Manchester City.
The club has already won the League Cup and finished in third place in the Premier League, meaning it has qualified for the lucrative Uefa Champions League next season.

Another 20-something here in the thick of a quarter life crisis about career paths lol. I can never decide what I want, and I feel so behind because I can't decide. Would much appreciate advice or suggestions for deciding a career path. (sorry in advance for the long text).
I graduated with a BA in psyc in 2021 - yes, bad idea. I thought I was ready to pursue a master's/PhD so I did it. I considered double majoring in comp sci and psyc in my 2nd/3rd year and took a few courses in comp sci, which I enjoyed and actually did decent in. But my primary goal was still grad school for psyc, and I was working 2 jobs and volunteering in a couple research labs and couldn't balance everything, so I dropped the comp sci idea to focus on getting a good GPA and research exp.
Fast forward to this past winter, that's all I had been working toward. I applied to MA/PhD programs in clinical psych. I underestimated how competitive they are to get into and how important networking is. I have good research exp but it wasn't enough, and I got rejected from all 6 programs I applied to. Bummer, but I reached out to my network and got myself a few manuscripts in progress that might lead to pubs. The plan was to work on these projects and prep for another 1-2 years before reapplying.
But now... I'm having doubts about whether to even reapply. The more I learn about this career path and the more I ask people already working in it, the more I realize the ROI isn't really there, and I don't know if this is a career worth pursuing anymore. I want to be absolutely certain that this is what I want to do before committing 7 years to a PhD, and if I'm gonna pivot, I wanna pivot now. But I really can't decide and feel dumb for not thinking about all this earlier.
The ROI for academia is abysmal (low pay, barren job market, can't choose where you live), so that's off the list. Clinical work could be ok but I can see myself quickly burning out doing this 40 hrs/week. It also pays ok but still not that good for the years of education needed ($70k CAD take-home), with not much room for salary growth. Switching into industry (data analysis or science) is possible, but then why not just get industry exp from the get-go? The upsides of clinical psych are the flexibility of work and job security, but I'm not sure if that's worth it against its many trade-offs. If industry is my preferred option, why take such a long detour? There is no guarantee of getting into a PhD program either even after prepping for another 1-2 years, so I might just end up pivoting anyway but after wasting additional time, which is the last thing I want to do. I'm not interested in bachelor's- or master's-level psyc-related jobs either.
So I've been thinking of career options in tech. I have always enjoyed writing code, solving problems and the like. I prefer working on my computer all day over something that's always people-facing. I'm not naturally good at math but I can get good grades with a lot of effort. So I am toying with the idea of getting a second degree in CS (accelerated with coop/internship option). I know the market is awful right now, but maybe things will change by the time I graduate. I thought about a diploma in data analysis, but that would limit me to data analysis, whereas a BSCS would open more doors. I would likely be admitted with my cGPA and performance in previous CS and math courses into a good program with good networking opportunities. The 1-2 years of prep could instead be spent self-learning before starting so that I can get the most out of the degree. I would be taking on additional student loans, but it would be worth the job prospects IF I do well.
But I'm still having a dilemma choosing between the two options because I worry that I won't be skilled or smart enough for CS. Once I make the switch, that will be the end for me for grad school (GPA might fall a little bit, research work will be outdated, age, etc.). But what if I make the switch and end up not being good enough to get a job in CS? Clin psych doesn't pay amazing but is a stable, middle-income career. I don't want to fail, and by doing so kick away my chance at both career options, and remain poor for the rest of my life. The only thing I can think of doing right now is to just self-learn more coding and see how I pick up the concepts, but there isn't much time I can devote to that unless I de-prioritize my research work, so it would be better to make a decision sooner than later. Do I continue? Do I pivot? I really don't know what to do. There's no one I could really get this kind of advice from. I feel like I'm treading water trying to figure out everything on my own. Thanks for reading through the post if you got this far.

Hi Reddit! My name is Sharon, and I am a college student interested in civic engagement and politics. I have been working on a project with some other students to make the Seattle City Council meetings more accessible by putting them into short summaries. I have put an example from last week below, though the real thing has a bit more formatting that doesn't translate into Reddit.
This project is relatively new, so we would really appreciate any feedback you may have and hope to make it as informative and accessible as possible! If you're interested in getting these newsletters every week, please click here: https://forms.gle/Yxo5fevVhVWmwcB78.
