My view that I would like challenged is that justice would be best served in the small claims court system in the US if it were significantly easier to collect on judgements won. The limit on small claims court is usually around $5,000- $7,500 in most states. Several times in my adult life, I have been involved in a dispute with another person that is under this limit where I have clearly been in the right. The details don't much matter for the purpose of this discussion, but it has mostly been contract disputes with small contractors around home improvements. Each time, the advice I've gotten from friends who are lawyers or lawyers that I have paid for a consultation is that it not worth pursuing the claim because even when you win, the defendant basically just gets a sternly worded letter asking them to pay.
You might try to get a lien on their property, but if they don't own real property then this doesn't help and even if they do, nothing happens until they try to sell it, sometimes decades later. You could try to get a wage garnishment but this is very difficult and if the person is self employed it doesn't happen. The end result is that you can fairly easily screw someone out of their money up to $5,000 with no consequences.
I believe this is a miscarriage of justice and needs to change. Once a judgement is won, the courts should have the power to pull a defendant's credit report and see what bank accounts and credit cards they have, and to debit these accounts and send the money to the plaintiff. That way the plaintiff walks out of court with a check. The defendant should also be charged for related costs, such as the cost to pull a credit report and credit card transaction fees.
I know this system is not perfect. Not everyone has credit cards and bank accounts and they could simply pull out the cash or close the credit card account if they know they are about to lose. But this would result in at least some more judgements successfully collected, which is most justice served. I also realize this would result in credit card companies being more selective about who they hand out credit to, but I can't really consider that a bad thing.
I would be interested in having this view changed. To successfully CMV, I would need to understand how justice is not served or how unintended consequences outweigh the benefits that I see here.

I’m looking at getting tickets for their show in Houston and am trying to decide between similarly priced seats on the floor (floor seating, not the pit) vs section 106/107 (Tom’s side of the stage)
Can anyone who’s been to earlier shows tell me how the view from the floor is? Mainly concerned about having to look over people in the rows in front of me. Did you feel like you had a good view of the stage from the floor or would I get a better view in the normal arena seating?

Greetings ☺️ We all know how stressful school can be. Especially when you feel like you’re studying, take an exam, and nothing you study is on the exam. Some of us have kids, jobs or a lifestyle the prevents us from putting time into school they way we want. If you aren't familiar with what test banks and solutions manuals are, then you're missing out. Professors select their exam questions from test banks based on your book, meaning all you need to do well on your exams is to study the test bank. Throughout college course, my team and I saved money on buying text books and got test banks instead for fields such as Nursing/Health, Psychology, Science and many others. These banks includes rationales to help understand the material as well! We offer package deals if your looking for multiple items at once. Please PM with an ISBN.

On the flight receipt email, there is a section where it says “select seat” for the flight. Do we select our seat or they are already decided for us so we don’t have to do anything? Please let me know🥺 Thank you!

Flying if SW has any $99/deals left. There are lots of seats left at the concert. I’ve been wanting to see them since I became aware of their existence. Unless you want to drive & I’ll be glad to split the gas (and room but I was so jazzed after seeing Craig Ferguson in Thackerville I drove home that night. But I think I lost a few hours. Probably lucky I made it home alive. I do remember drinking a lot of coffee & rolling down the windows. It was cold.
Arena (their video special of their tour) scared me to death. The fans rushing the fence, having to get a “seat” bc it was it was general admission. I never attended a real concert until Tim McGraw in 98. I was still scared. Then I was like this was so easy, why was I so afraid? Not that my parents would have never let me go.
But if any takers, M or F, I’m going anyway. Wouldn’t object to company!

In the world of business, change is constant. Yet, when it comes to the deployment of transportation management systems (TMS), smaller enterprises often feel they are stuck on the sidelines, watching large corporations benefit from sophisticated, albeit expensive and complex, solutions. This is set to change as innovation enters the arena, bringing the efficiency and functionality of TMS into the grasp of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

Why Big TMS Solutions Don't Work for Small Businesses

When you delve into the world of traditional TMS, it's easy to see why smaller businesses often find themselves challenged. These systems are typically engineered for entities with elaborate supply chains and a substantial technological infrastructure. The complexities of such TMS can be daunting for SMBs that are inherently leaner and may lack the technical resources needed to effectively manage these solutions.
Not to mention, these traditional solutions tend to come with a hefty price tag and require significant time to roll out. This double punch of high cost and lengthy implementation time makes these systems even less practical for small businesses that are looking for efficient, cost-effective ways to manage their logistics processes.
For manufacturers, retailers, or wholesalers of a smaller scale, managing logistics is no small feat. It often means tediously logging onto multiple carrier websites, sifting through freight quotes and shipping costs, comparing transit times, monitoring transport CO2 emissions, and trying to make sense of the analytics. This inefficiency doesn't just inhibit productivity; it takes away valuable time and resources that could be spent driving your business forward.

The Dawn of a New Era: Cloud-Based Transportation Management Solution For Small Businesses

However, a new wave of innovation is emerging, designed specifically to alleviate the logistical headaches experienced by SMBs. This comes in the form of cloud-based, multi-carrier TMS solutions, specifically designed with the needs of small and medium-sized businesses in mind.
At the heart of these platforms is the goal to level the playing field for SMBs that heavily rely on parcel couriers, less than truckload (LTL) and full truckload (FTL) transportation service providers. This state-of-the-art logistics software is designed to integrate effortlessly into the daily business operations of an SMB, providing a single platform that negates the need for multiple carrier website log-ins and radically simplifies freight management.

The Benefits of Modern TMS for Small Businesses

The business landscape is shifting - a TMS solution is no longer a tool exclusive to large enterprises. Today, even small and medium-sized businesses can capitalize on the numerous advantages that come with an efficient, cloud-based TMS solution:

1. Unified Shipping Workflow: Modern TMS platforms revolutionize supply chain management by standardizing the shipping process, regardless of the carrier, service, or freight mode (road, air, sea, rail). A multi-carrier shipping software eliminates manual processes by simplifing logistics from the supplier to the warehouse, and ultimately to the customer, providing a consistent experience whether it's for import, export, parcel, LTL, or FTL shipping.
2. Centralized Freight Quote Management: Integrated freight rate management, tendering, and freight quote software features enable businesses to readily access both spot rate requests and pre-negotiated rates with all their carriers. This eases the decision-making process and optimizes shipping costs.
3. Analytics and Statistics: Gathering and aggregating data from different carriers could be a monumental task without a TMS. But with a modern TMS solution, it becomes straightforward and simple, offering you valuable insights and analytics that would otherwise be challenging to collect and comprehend.
4. Real-Time Tracking and Updates: The ability to track shipments in real-time is an integral feature of a TMS. It takes away the guesswork from last-mile deliveries, keeping businesses informed about their shipment status at all times.
5. Improved Customer Service: With real-time visibility, shipping notifications and overall unified communications, businesses can provide customers, partners, and colleagues with up-to-date information about their shipments, thereby enhancing the customer experience. This transparent communication can significantly improve customer satisfaction and loyalty.
6. Efficiency and Cost Savings: Automation features, from calculating freight rates and comparing freight quotes to automated carrier selection, drastically cut down the time and human effort needed, leading to increased efficiency and significant savings on operational costs.
7. Scalability: Perhaps one of the most significant benefits of a cloud-based TMS solution is its scalability. As your business grows and your logistical needs change, the system can easily adjust and grow with you, ensuring that it remains an integral part of your operations, regardless of your company's size.

Introducing a Game Changer in TMS for SMEs

In an increasingly digital world, it's essential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to stay competitive. Adapting to technological advancements isn't just a luxury for large corporations anymore. That's where Cargoson's holistic approach comes into play, with their cloud-based transportation management system for small business, specifically tailored to the unique requirements and constraints of SMBs.
Cargoson's platform is more than just a software - it's a comprehensive solution designed to manage all types of transport operations, including import, export, domestic, parcel, less than truckload (LTL), and full truckload (FTL) shipments. It's a single, integrated platform that simplifies logistics management and offers the real-time shipment tracking that SMBs need. The system caters to the diverse requirements of SMBs, providing an affordable and practical solution that rivals the functionality of the TMS used by larger corporations.
The secret to its success lies in its user-friendly design and all-encompassing features. Cargoson's platform takes the hassle out of managing shipments, providing real-time updates and full transparency across all transportation operations. This level of detail empowers businesses with the information they need to make informed decisions, improving their customer service and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
Integration capabilities are another key feature of Cargoson's TMS solution. The software can be easily integrated with a company's existing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, further reducing the need for manual work and allowing for a more seamless transition between different business processes. This results in significant time and cost savings, enabling businesses to focus more on their core operations and less on logistical challenges.
Cargoson is part of a larger movement to empower SMBs with the tools they need to remain competitive in an increasingly complex and fast-paced business environment. By equipping SMBs with a powerful, yet affordable and easy-to-use TMS solution, Cargoson is fostering a more level playing field where businesses of all sizes have access to the benefits of advanced logistics software.
In this respect, Cargoson isn't just a TMS provider - it's a strategic partner for SMBs, committed to helping them navigate their logistical challenges and transform their transportation operations into a strategic asset for their business.

In Conclusion

By incorporating cloud-based transportation management software solutions like Cargoson into their operations, SMBs can streamline their logistics, save time and resources, and significantly enhance their supply chain management process. With features like real-time updates, improved customer service, and scalability, this new wave of TMS solutions is set to change the game for small and medium-sized businesses, ensuring they too can reap the benefits of advanced logistics software.

I’ll go first: I dreamt that I went to a Childish Gambino concert by myself, and somehow I was able to get in the front row. It was a smaller, oval shaped arena with Donald in the center. It was surprisingly not that busy in the center where he was. I was singing along and walking around the center barrier with some other fans. He sang pieces of his songs and then lip synched some other songs by Dua Lipa or something. He was close by and I mumbled to myself something about how I had left my phone up in the balcony, and for some reason Donald heard and answered me while the background Dua Lipa song was playing, and said “You should probably go get that. It’s kind of important.” I thought someone had probably stolen it by then, and I told him I didn’t want to lose my spot in the front row, and I could just get another phone. He just shrugged, as if to say ‘suit yourself’. I decided to go up to the balcony to find my phone and then try to come back down afterward. I found my phone and it was dead of course, so I went back down and there was still enough room on the stadium seating around the center, a few rows back. I was bummed that I couldn’t get any pictures, but just wanted to live in the moment for the rest of the show and soak it in. At one point, he noticed that I had come back and he came out into the audience and sat next to me for a bit. The music was still playing and he talked to me here and there in between lip synching. I nervously reached down and put my hand lightly on his, and he didn’t pull away, so I slipped my fingers through his. A girl on the other side tried the same thing, and he quickly pulled his hand away and said “Nah, sorry, I’m married” while still holding my hand. 😂 That was about it. I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it though. Maybe that’s cringey, but I don’t care. Lol

Hey all,
I came across Beer52 on instagram and it seemed really cool. They advertise a box of beer for £6 and then it's ~£25 thereafter, seems like a great deal and I personally like the idea of having a selection of new beers to try each month.
The typical experience: hellish cancellation process
Now, I had heard the horror stories. The one from my friend was especially bad. First, my friend got the standard box and the beer was terrible. In the box there were maybe 10 beers and 7 of them were awful, like really bad.
For the second month he forgot to cancel, and paid the full ~£25. Pissed off, he then logged in thinking he would quickly cancel and found out there is no online cancellation. You have to call them. When he called them, he spent 30 mins on the phone being pitched by various members of staff, upsold to, offered freebies etc. and eventually he gave up due to lack of energy/courage and the sheer effort required.
So after giving up, the inevitable happens. Another box of bad beer and another £25 fee. He then tries to call them again and it's the same rigmarole: they pitch and upsell him and wear him down til he gives in. He gets fed up of the bs and eventually gives up, they charge another month. At this point, it just feels like a scam. Eventually, after the 4th or 5th month (he's paid like £100 now) he just sticks it out on the phone for almost an hour until they eventually allow him cancel. Hooray!
£105 later and he's cancelled the crappy beer box selection. But it cost £105!....but there's a way to avoid all the hassle.
How to take back control
So I had a think about it. I like the idea of beer being delivered, I like the idea of trying new beers and I overall like the concept of their offering. The problem is, I don't want the usual terrible selection, but maybe the 'light beers' could be nice - I'll give them the benefit of the doubt!
Now, I don't want to spend £100 on beer if it's bad and I don't want to spend hours on the phone either, so before signing up, I set up a system that allows me to retain some control with Beer52 so that I can cancel anytime I want.
Enter, the power of digital banking. Here's the process I followed:

1. In Revolut/Monzo etc., set up a virtual card
2. Go to Beer52, claim the £5 beer box
3. Wait until the box arrives, determine if the beer is good or bad
4. Cancel/freeze the virtual card

Needless to say, the beer arrived and it was awful. I used the above process, froze the card and now Beer52 can't charge you any more money and you don't have to go through their torturous cancellation process over the phone 😊
Also, if you are currently in the throes of all the phone calls with them, just log in, change your card to a virtual card and then freeze the card.

First / Previous / Next
It's still early, so we go and find a cafe and have lunch. Once again, I don't have to use my voice, they just give us our meal for free. I really should get an idea about money though. I know they are called Skys, I know at least part of them are small green metallic coins - actually they look like the same metal the Throne and Chairs are made out of, I wonder if they are - and I know that everyone uses them here to buy stuff. I should ask about banks. We should pay a visit to one. I'm sure they'd be... happy to explain it to me.
That's for later though. For now, we work our way to the dock, and find the internal docking bay that Omar found.
Walking in, it becomes clear that we have a lot of work ahead. High Line is in here thanks to Omar earlier and it's...
It's junk.
Even when it was operating, it was clearly made up of a hodgepodge of between three and five different starships. This thing has been limping along on patches and ad hoc repairs for centuries it looks like.
Human ships from our side of the galaxy tend to be very personalized. Riots of color, patterns, little flourishes here and there that speak to the tastes and preferences of the operator. It's probably a function of the fact that all our ships are AI operated. It's their body, and they decorate and personalize it.
High Line is... downright drab in comparison.
Grey on grey with streaks of soot and... is that rust? It looks like rust. What would rust on a spacecraft hull? High Line is all boxes and blocks stuck together where they fit or where a need was found. I'm much more used to the sweeping, flowing shapes the Starjumpers have. In addition to looking fast, they look much more elegant. Even our smaller ships, the Frigates and Destroyers tend towards looking more like living creatures than... a box.
As I walk around staring at things and - apparently - making a sour face, Starlight, Ocean and River are standing there, looking nervous and worried. "So Empress... Here is High Line. We admit, it's a little more worse for wear than the ship you came to us on, but.." Starlight stands a little taller. "It got my forebears here all those years ago and through all that time put many light-years on it shuttling people around the system and still held air and gravity. It's not much to look at, but it was ours."
I mean, they're right. Maybe I'm being too hard on it. They got centuries of use out of with with barely any maintenance. All the more reason to refit it right and make it soar once again.
Omar seems like he's having a great time. Walking around, taking measurements going in and out. "Melody, it might not be much to look at now, but it's actually a pretty good foundation! We can add some improved thrusters, beef up the armor, add a wormhole generator and some laser batteries and while we won't be able to take on a dreadnought or even a Starjumper, we'll be able to hold our own against anything local we've seen. It's got plenty of room inside too. You won't have a suite of rooms like at the Royal Dawn, but I should be able to make you an... appropriately royal room.
"At this point a starship is better than no starship so I'll take what I can get. How long will the refit take, Omar?"
He looks at the ship, at the Aviens and then at me. "It will depend on their printer and how well we can integrate the designs from my copy of the database but maybe a month? Hopefully less?"
"Well then, you had better get started Omar. You spend your time getting High Line up to your satisfaction, and let me know about your progress. For now, we will be staying at the Royal Dawn. I don't know if there's other royal quarters that we just haven't found or if the hotel is made out of the original royal quarters, but I'm satisfied with our current accommodations. Make your own schedule and if you need something or someone, just let me know. Starlight" - I look pointedly at them - "can help you with any personnel needs you have." Starlight bobs their head eagerly. "If you need to speak to me or the others, you should be able to though the Reach. Just... concentrate and it should work."
"Okay Melody, I'll get on it. Come on Starlight, show me the printer. Ocean, go see what kind of help you can find for us. River, go see about the condition of the other starships. Some of them have to be operable, how else is food getting here?" Omar looks up at us as the Aviens run off in different directions to obey Omar. "What happened to Ottarn, that Mariens who took their ship and tried to run? If nothing else, we could use that ship."
"They went with FarReach. They told me that they scooped up Ottarn and their ship and were going to take them where they wanted to go."
"Hmm, do you think that means back to human space?" Um'reli asks and she's looking at the ship.
"I have no idea, I don't think so? I'm not sure what they'd find out there to benefit them."
This time Ava puts her hands on her hips and stares at us. "You mean, other that some sympathetic ears to listen to their story about a human who has installed herself as Empress in their space and might be willing to lend a hand with a couple of Starjumpers and their assorted lasers and missiles? You did lock the Gate after FarReach left, right?"
Uh oh. I forgot.
"Uh, sure thing Ava, let me just go... double check that it's locked. I reach out and I can feel the Gate from here though it's faint and... fuzzy. The lock was simple enough though I push here... pull that... and...
"Okay, yes, it's locked."
"Good. We don't want Ottarn coming back with reinforcements or something just yet. Later though... let them come. We'll show them." Ava's grin is worrying me a little bit. She seems much too excited about showing off.
I grab Ava and Um'reli "Come on, let's leave Omar to his work. We have other things to take care of. I think we're going to have to hire on some help, but before that we're going to have to figure out money."
Ava scoffs as we walk "You're still going on about money? Just make people help us out."
"Ava we're looking to help out here, not be overthrown in a couple weeks. If I make people help us, the moment we walk away people will start to wonder why they're helping us at all."
"Melody has a point Ava. What is it that we do here?" Um'reli is really good at throwing cold water on Ava's plans. I'm glad she came. Without her I have a hunch that Ava would be talking me into all kinds of bad ideas.
"Builders seem to work like the AIs on Starbases back home. So it's not like we have no job."
"Well then, let's go back to the Throne and do some work. I'm tired of walking around trying to mooch free stuff from people because they're scared of Melody." Um'reli stars walking back towards the Throne. I really don't have anything else to do, so I follow. "You coming, Ava?"
"I guess. I don't have anything else to do." Ava looks around somewhat wistfully and follows. I wonder what she was hoping to do instead. Probably have me order people to give her something.
As we walk into the entryway to the Throne - there's still no back door, I really need to find one or make one - something catches my eye. I walk over and... "It's a shrine"
"What?" Ava peeks over my shoulder "Oh, it's beautiful."
It really is. Someone made a drawing of us in some kind of pastel medium, like pencils or chalk. It's... me at the top, my wings spread wide and I'm glowing. Below that, it's Um'reli, Ava and Omar standing tall and proud looking up. Under that is a decent representation of hundreds of people bowing before us. Written on the bottom in the same local script I see all over it says "May They Protect Us." The drawing is on a little easel and there are flowers and candles all around it in a semicircle.
Protect them from what though?
"These flowers are amazing! I've never seen ones like this before" Um'reli bends down to get a closer look. She takes a deep breath "And they smell so good, Ava, Melody, you should smell them!"
Well if Um'reli, a K'laxi can smell them and not immediately break out in allergic hives, it's probably fine for us to smell too. I bend down low and... they smell... familiar? Why is that?
Ava straightens "These were grown. We need to find out where the gardens are and visit it!"
Um'reli stands as well. "After we get some work done Ava. We need to show everyone that we do something and aren't a drain on resources because Melody can order them around and they can't say no."
"What's the point of all this power if we don't use it!"
"Ava, we 'use it' like you want to and people will come after us with guns and knives. Who was the Empress before Melody?" Um'reli is looking hard at Ava.
"We have no idea."
"Exactly." Um'reli continues up the stairs to the Throne itself. I follow and Ava pouts but doesn't say anything further.
In the Builder room, Um'reli and Ava sit down. Their bodies go distant and they are integrating. "Okay Ava, Um'reli. You get down to work, I'm going to see about finding a bank and talking to them. Any idea where one is?"
"One moment Melody..." Ava is searching. "Okay, looks like a bank is down the street from the Administration building. It's not far."
"Thanks! Just reach out to me if you need anything." I head back out and down the stairs of the throne, passing by the little shine again. It really is cute, though I wish they put something a little more specific about what they wanted us to protect them from. Oh well, with our luck we'll find out soon enough.
It's not actually a long walk to the bank, Ava was right, it was just down the street from the Administration building. As I walk past I see that a couple people are cleaning up the barricades finally. I wave as I walk by, and they stand smartly and bow. Nice.
Soon enough, I come across what I assume is the bank. It's a large building, made out of the same material as the Administration building, marking it as very old. There is a large double door in the front made of what looks like the same metal as the coins everyone uses. The doors stand open with two people (an Azurian and a Mariens) standing out front. With a little wave to them, I walk in.
It's... a bank. Really. Tellers, little booths where people can discuss finance, even a little table before you get in line to fill out small slips of paper. I walk over to an Aviens who is sitting at a desk by the front door. They look up and do a double take when they see me. I'm not wearing my wings and crown anymore, but I still have on the gown from earlier.
"Uh, good day Holy One, what may this one help you with?" Holy One. Interesting.
"I would like to speak to the Bank Manager, please."
They rush to stand and their chair slides back with a squawk. "Of course, Holy One. Please, wait right here." The gesture over to a small group of chairs up against the wall. I can't really think of a reason why not, so I go over and sit.
Next to me is one of the pressure suited people. Up close, I can see how their suits are segmented metal colored bronze and completely decorated in elaborate carvings. They really are quite beautiful. Their helmets are almost completely featureless except for a bar where human eyes would be and there is what looks like a speaker on their neck.
I clear my throat. "Pardon me, I'm so sorry, but I haven't met one of you yet. Can you tell me your name and the name of your people?"
With just the most subtle clank and whir, they turn their head. "I am known as Vaaqo, and here, people call us Falor in your tongue." His head inclines slightly. "That is to say, the language that most people here speak call us Falor. I do not know your word for us in your Builder tongue."
"Falor is fine with me." I say brightly, and then stop. "Unless it is insulting to you or something."
They make a gesture with their hands. The Nanites indicate that they are indicating no. Oh, that makes sense! If they're suited all the time, most body language markers are lost. Hand gestures could take over for a bunch of nonspeaking conversation.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Vaaqo, thank you so much for the information. I have so many questions, but I will only ask one for now. Do you have to stay in your suit all the time?"
The same gesture meaning no. "We are fortunate that the upper sunward lobe of the Reach has a pressure door. We're able to maintain our helium methane atmosphere and higher ambient pressure and live suit free. The remains of our starship are installed up there, and we use it to control our own breathing gas."
They took their ship apart to survive? "Oh but that means you're trapped here! Once we open the gates and build more ships, we can send a message to your people."
Another gesture. The Nanites say it might be a smile "That is kind of you to offer, Empress. Before... well before, we were in the middle of a war. We were offered refuge here and so we do not know if any others of our kind remain. It will be... nice to find out for sure."
They're holding something back. I think they don't want to insult you.
It's fine. I see no need to compel them to tell me what they're hiding. It's probably something embarrassing to them or they think to me.
Luckily for all of us, you have no shame.
Ha ha.
As I argue with my Nanites, a Mariens walks up, looking nervous. "Hol-Empress, what a pleasant surprise. Thank you for taking the time to visit our fine financial establishment! My name is Utaid and I am at your service." He bows elaborately.
I stand and try to tower only slightly. I want to impress, not intimidate. "The pleasure is all mine Utaid, I am happy to have met you. I wish to open an account so that I will be able to pay people for services they render me."
They look shocked. "E-Empress, of course. We will do everything in our power to help. Since... all here is yours that of course includes all the money stored in the different banks across the Reach."
I nod. "While this is true, I am not a tyrant. I wish to make sure that people are paid and that operations continue as closely to before as possible. Please accept payment requests that come in from people in my name and keep records. We will do our utmost to make sure that the money going in is equal to or greater than the money coming out... in the long term."
They visibly relax. I wonder if they thought I was just going to come in and demand all the currency?
"It will be our most sincere pleasure Empress. We are proud that you have selected us to carry out your financial orders in Your name. We shall set up everything and dispatch a runner to you when it has been completed. I assume you are residing at the Royal Dawn hotel?"
"Yes, that's correct. How did you know?"
They look smug and embarrassed? How did they manage that? "Even though Reach of the Might of Vzzx is a very large starbase, rumors still seem to fly faster than light."
"Ah, thank you Utaid for all your help. I await your runners." They bow low again and I walk out.
Huh, that was easy. I guess people are starting to realize that I really am Empress and I really am trying to help everyone. Feeling very happy, I begin to walk back to the Throne.
"Uh, Melody there might be a problem." Um'reli's voice sounds worried in my head. She figured out how to contact me directly, very nice!
"What is it Um'reli?"
"Just a minute ago, I saw what looked like an alert. Ava and I checked it out and there's something going on at the main transit hub station. We either don't understand the alert or can't ready it yet. Can you check it out please?"
"Oh neat! I haven't been there yet. Sure, I'll go down and check it out. You two stay up there and be my eyes and ears."
The transit station is right around the corner from the bank. It reminds me a lot of photos of transit stations back on Earth. platforms, people milling about, advertising. But I see no crowds or anything worrying. I connect to the Starbase and think to Ava and Um'reli "I don't see any problem here, what's going on?"
"It's not here, it's at the main station. Get on the next train and ride two stops, you'll see it."
Oh, okay. Just as Ava finished speaking, a train rolls up. Like a lot of this place, it clearly was very fancy a long long time ago. The fact that it's still working is pretty impressive, even if it looks a bit run down. I walk on, and look around. There are seats all along the walls of the train car and poles along the middle to hang on to. Mentally I shrug and sit down near the door. After a moment, there's a trilling chime and the doors close.
With a lurch and a hiss of brakes, we get moving. I wonder if this train is automated, or if someone drives it. I should ask later. I'm lost in thought for the ride through the first station stop, but then I look around and realize everyone is staring at me.
"Oh, Hello!" I say brightly.
Immediately, the people closest to me drop to the ground, bowing their heads. "Oh, thank you, but you don't have to do that right now, please just sit. I'm just riding the train over to the hub station. My Builders tell me there's some kind of issue and I'm going to check it out."
"But, Empress... Surely you have people that you can send to do that for you?" It's a Mariens sitting across from me. They look amused.
"Oh not right now. I'm... between retainers and assistants right now. One of my Builders, Omar is helping to repair the High Line, that Aviens ship, and my other two, Ava and Um'reli are sitting in their Chairs, assisting with the operation of the Reach." Oh wait. "Do you want a job? I do find myself needing more people to help out with-" I gesture "-all this. I'm not sure how much to pay yet but I did just come back from the bank, so I'll be able to pay you; I'm sure I'll work all the rest out soon enough."
The Mariens chuckles "Thank you for the generous offer Empress, but I quite like my job. If you so order it... of course I'd help. If you're just asking though, no thank you."
"Oh, that's quite all right. I don't want to order you. But, if you know anyone that would like to help, have them come to the Throne chamber tomorrow, we'll see what we can do!" I look around at everyone trying very hard to look like they're not listening in. "That goes for anyone here too! If you want a job, come see us, if you know someone that does, send them. I need help, and I would love for it to be you!"
And with that same trilling chime, the doors open and I'm at the hub station.
Ah. Okay. I see what Ava and Um'reli are talking about.
There's a riot.

Hey there, I want to apply for Economics programmes at LSE, Oxford, and Warwick.

1. LSE: MSc Economics and Economic Policy for International Development
2. Oxford: MSc Economics for Development
3. Warwick: MSc Economics

Undergraduate College: Ashoka University, India

1. I graduated Magna Cum Laude (3.83/4 GPA) in Econ. Here are some courses I took: Econometrics (A), Micro 1 (A), Micro 2 (A-), Macro 1 (A-), and Macro 2 (A).
2. I've taken most mathematics courses that graduate schools require— Calculus (A), Linear Algebra (A), Multivariate Calc (A), Probability and Statistics (A), and Real Analysis (B).
3. GRE: 330 (166Q/164V)
4. I'll be pursuing a postgraduate diploma from the same uni (Sept 2023-May 2024) where I'll be writing a postgrad dissertation/thesis focused on FLFP in India post-COVID.
5. I'll most likely also be a Teaching Assistant for an undergrad econ course in my uni next semester.

Work Experience:

1. Currently working with the Government of India's Ministry of Policy in Trade & Commerce, Economics, Finance & Disinvestment, and G-20 Coordination as a research intern. This is a fairly selective internship with an acceptance rate of 5-7%.
2. I am also working as a Research Assistant for a professor at my uni till May 2024.
3. I have previously worked as a Research Fellow (basically an internship) at a social consultancy firm which works as an independent affiliate of the World Bank and ADB.
4. I have been the editor of my uni's undergraduate PPE journal.
5. I worked as a Research Assistant for another professor at my Uni in 2020.

Research Work:
I have written 4 term papers in economics which were fairly econometrically rigorous (as much as possible with an undergraduate understanding of econometrics, so basically DID, IV regressions etc.) but no publications. I am currently working towards getting a paper published in the next few months.
SoP/LoR I think I'm fairly confident in my abilities to write a pretty good SoP. I am getting my LoRs from Professors I have worked with closely and have usually ranked in the top 5-10% percentile of their classes.
Do I stand a realistic chance of getting in? Is there anything specific I should work on in the time I have?

I absolutely loathe this map, and before you start queueing for a match, right top corner you can select servers and arenas you like and dislike. WHY THE FUCK IS SALTY SHORES NOT ON THERE ? I WAN'T TO DISLIKE IT TO HOPEFULLY PLAY LESS OF IT. IT'S TOO BRIGHT.

I reckon the best way to find work is to follow your passion. Sure, we all need money to get by, but what’s the point in wasting your time on something you hate? We all know that money can’t buy happiness. It’s not just about having a cool car and tasty food every day. There are plenty of rich and famous folks who’ve struggled with addiction and even taken their own lives. That’s why I believe happiness is more about how you live each day rather than how much money you have in the bank. And let’s be real, if you’re good at what you do, the money will come eventually.
​

Follow your passion, whether it’s engineering or art

​
A true pro is someone who’s passionate about their work, no matter what it is. I’ve always been into mechanical engineering ever since I was old enough to know what it was. So, I decided to pursue it as my life’s work. I hope my experience can help others who are considering a mechanical engineering major, just like I was not long ago.

Best Colleges for Mechanical Engineering in Louisiana: Conditions to Apply

Look, I don’t wanna talk about things I don’t really know about, so let me tell you a bit about schools in Louisiana, okay? If you’re not from the Pelican State, don’t worry, you can still stick around and read this — you might pick up some generally useful tips (By the way, did you know that Louisiana is the only state in the U.S. that doesn’t have counties?). I haven’t done any research, but I believe that the requirements for applying to schools that open career paths for mechanical engineers are roughly the same in all states.
When I turned 18 and got my high school diploma, it was enough for me to get into mechanics school. According to the internet, state-issued GEDs are also acceptable, and I see no reason not to believe that. Some schools may have additional or different requirements, and as much as I hate making generalizations, let me break down those demands in detail for you.

Mechanical Engineer Degree Requirements: What You Should Know to Get Enrolled

So, what else do you need besides a high school diploma and being 18 to get into a mechanics school? Let’s take a look at some of the schools in Louisiana.

• Central Louisiana Technical Community College is one of those places that want you to pass the ACCUPLACER test to make sure you can read, write, and do math. But here’s the catch: it costs between $10 and $50 (I took this from the school’s official site, where else?).
• On the other hand, Delgado Community College is totally chill, and you don’t even need a high school transcript or GED/HiSET equivalency. And if you’re not sure what those are, don’t worry, I had to Google it too.
• Then there’s South Louisiana Community College, which can offer a mechanical engineering degree but does not have any additional requirements.

So, depending on the school you choose, you may or may not have to do a little extra work. I’ve made my shortlist of three schools and want to share it with you.

Community Colleges for the Start of Mechanical Engineering Career: Louisiana Edition

I didn’t see a problem with heading out to another town to get my mechanic degree, so I checked out schools from different parts of Louisiana.

Sowela Technical Community College

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByOWp8ApU1g
Sowela Technical College is located in Lake Charles, and it’s a small, cozy school that boasts a 100% acceptance rate (which I’m sure is a concern for many of us, right?). Their campus looks pretty impressive and modern, at least based on the pictures. Along with a high school diploma, they require the SOWELA Placement Test, which could set you back around 20 bucks. However, they also accept ACT or SAT scores instead of their specific exam. The school stresses that their test isn’t too tough, and the results are valid for several years.
According to their official website, graduates from this school can expect to earn a minimum starting salary of $28,700, which I think is pretty attractive. A good salary for the mechanical work I want to do, as I said before.

L.E. Fletcher Technical Community College

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWkHHiWCDN8
This school is located in Schriever and belongs to those pleasant places that don’t require additional tests. All it demands is that you be over 16 years old (not even 18!), provide them with proof of selective service registration, and satisfy the requirements of Louisiana immunization of persons entering school. I think that the last requirement appeared because of the pandemic we’ve been surviving over the last few years. Don’t know about you, but for me, it’s pleasant to know that the school takes care of my health.
L.E. Fletcher Technical Community College also has a 100% acceptance rate but a little bit lower starting salary for graduates, $24,400. But their campus is epic, I must say. It can be a truly good choice if you want to start your path in mechanical engineering fields early.

Northshore Technical Community College

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5KVGxKqr18
Northshore Technical Community College is in Lacombe. The acceptance rate in this school is also a pleasant 100%, and the salary of graduates starts at $21,400. To enroll, you have to complete an application, have proof of immunization, and have proof of selective service status. As you can see, this school does not mention the age of their potential students, but somehow I got the impression that they want people to be under 18. I don’t know why, but I think so. Their campus looks brand new in the pictures. It gave a similar impression to the one at Sowela Technical Community College, and it’s pretty good, I’d say. It’s definitely not the last choice for one who’s looking for colleges for mechanical engineering, as I was.

Conclusion for Your Encouragement

To be honest, I was thinking a lot about this mechanical engineering career. It seemed pretty appealing to me, but I also wondered if I really needed to go to school for it. I mean, maybe I could just have taken a year off, worked a bit, and figured out what I really wanted. But then I realized that I was just scared of rejection. I mean, so what if I got rejected? I could still take that year off to figure things out.
​

At the end of the day, I knew that mechanical engineering was my jam. It’s one of my biggest passions, and I knew I wanted to spend my time pursuing mechanical engineering career paths. So I took those extra tests (not gonna lie, they were a piece of cake), and I got into my top choice school!

​
Sorry, I’m not gonna spill the beans on which one it was, since gotta keep some mystery going. I just hope my experience can help you make the right choice for yourself.
