How long do underpayments take to actually get the funds?
2023.06.09 16:42 dakotamidnight How long do underpayments take to actually get the funds?
TX. As I mentioned on here before, I was shorted benefits from October until March because the system never gave me the annual increase due to a glitch. I put in change reports and nothing was done. When my renewal was processed in April, it was finally caught & they issued a letter saying they were going to replace October thru January's. I have no idea why not February and March's, but at this point I am exhausted on trying to fight for what I should have gotten.
It's been 60+ days since that letter, and I STILL haven't gotten those replacement benefits. How long does it take? Who do I need to call or whatnot to actually get them? I CANNOT go into the office due to disability and transportation.

| I don't know if this piece is big enough or has enough characteristics to be identifiable but I find little bits like this on the beach all the time, I've never known what type of coral made them because to my knowledge we only have stony corals in one part of Texas and that part is 200 miles away. What could it be? I'm curious if it could have come from that 200 mile away reef (flower garden banks), or possibly somewhere else? or if there's local coral species i just haven't heard about? submitted by evildog69 to marinebiology [link] [comments] |
2023.06.09 16:34 afibamerica Best Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiologists in Houston, TX
If you are looking for a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders, you may want to consult a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist. These are doctors who have completed additional training in cardiac electrophysiology, which is the study of the electrical system of the heart. They can perform tests and procedures to identify and correct abnormal heartbeats, such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, or bradycardia.
In this blog, we will introduce you to some of the best clinical
cardiac electrophysiologists in Houston, TX, based on their ratings, reviews, and experience. We will also provide some tips on how to choose the right doctor for your needs and what to expect from your visit.
What is a Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiologist?
A clinical cardiac electrophysiologist is a type of cardiologist who focuses on the electrical activity of the heart. They use specialized equipment and techniques to measure and record the electrical signals that control the heartbeat. They can also implant devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators to regulate the heart rhythm or treat sudden cardiac arrest.
Some of the common conditions that a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist can treat are:
- Atrial Fibrillation: A fast and irregular heartbeat that can increase the risk of stroke or heart failure.
- Ventricular Tachycardia: A rapid heartbeat that originates from the lower chambers of the heart and can cause fainting or cardiac arrest.
- Bradycardia: A slow heartbeat that can cause fatigue, dizziness, or low blood pressure.
- Supraventricular Tachycardia: A fast heartbeat that originates from the upper chambers of the heart and can cause palpitations, chest pain, or shortness of breath.
- Heart Block: A problem with the electrical conduction system of the heart that can cause a slow or irregular heartbeat.
Some of the common tests and procedures that a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist can perform are:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG): A test that records the electrical activity of the heart using electrodes attached to the chest, arms, and legs.
- Holter monitor: A portable device that records the electrical activity of the heart for 24 hours or longer using electrodes attached to the chest.
- Event monitor: A device that records the electrical activity of the heart when triggered by a symptom or a button press using electrodes attached to the chest.
- Echocardiogram: A test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart and its valves, chambers, and blood flow.
- Stress test: A test that measures how the heart responds to physical exertion using an ECG, echocardiogram, or nuclear imaging.
- Electrophysiology study (EPS): A test that involves inserting catheters through a vein or artery into the heart and stimulating different areas with electrical impulses to map out the electrical pathways and identify abnormal areas.
- Catheter ablation: A procedure that involves inserting catheters through a vein or artery into the heart and delivering radiofrequency energy or cryotherapy to destroy abnormal tissue that causes arrhythmias.
- Pacemaker implantation: A procedure that involves inserting a small device under the skin near the collarbone that sends electrical impulses to the heart to regulate its rhythm.
- Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation: A procedure that involves inserting a small device under the skin near the collarbone that monitors the heart rhythm and delivers shocks if needed to restore normal rhythm.

2023.06.09 16:21 SedimentWeep Exterior door replacement questions
Relatively new homeowner here (~6 months) and I'm looking to replace at least one door (preferably
only one door) on set of glass French doors I have leading to my back patio to allow for the installation of a dog door.
Pictures of the doors and an idea of the door replacement I have in mind:
https://imgur.com/a/pn2JMds A few notes:
- Located in Houston, TX
- The house is ~100 years old, so almost nothing is standard
- Each door measures 34-1/4" x 77-3/8"
- Door casing is 3.5" on each side
- Threshold is ~1/8" (best I can measure)
Questions I have:
- Is there a good guide as to what "standard door size" means? While shopping around online I'm finding an inconsistent variation between "standard door size" and "actual size" i.e. sometimes the difference is -1/4" sometimes it's +1.5", etc.
- Based upon these measurements, I would assume this is a non-standard door. Would you agree with this, or am I confused about what a standard door is?
- If going a custom slab route, am I signing myself up for a big headache when trying to install it on the current hinges?
- Is this something I should talk to a door installation contractor about? I am admittedly a little nervous regarding holes in my house, ha, but I am comfortable with carpentry (e.g. I finished my garage and cut/installed a new window in it a few months ago)
Any resources, suggestions, tips, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

2023.06.09 16:15 BeerBuildMe Problems getting *arr containers to run
I'm playing around with setting up a stack with transmission with prowlarr, readerr etc. but are getting a bit stuck. When Prowlarr starts, I get an "AppFolder /config is not writeable", but when i log into the container, there is no problems reading or writing to /config. I use a NAS for storing the data.
I've tried using both 1000:1000 and the ID for the NAS user owning the files for PUID and GUID. Even tried to remove PUID/GUID, but no luck.
Have anyone any experience with this? -Or maybe point me to somewhere?

2023.06.09 16:13 Sudden_Being9146 In need of guidance
Hello everyone! I'm a 32 yo mother of 3 married 10 years. I've been a SAHM for the past 9 years while my husband has been the sole provider. Over those 9 years I have worked in childcare at a gym and I was a substitute teacher for a while, so I did work some. Now my husband is going back to school and I will need to be the main breadwinner and IDK where to go from here. I have a degree in Fitness and Human Performance and a minor in nutrition but I haven't used them, unfortunately. I'm not opposed to getting a cert for a job but I need a job sooner rather than later. We're going to be moving to Stephenville, TX so my husband can attend Tarleton State sometime in the near future. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you everyone for your time.

2023.06.09 16:11 idontwannabepicked Is there any hope for a high paying job for a woman who doesn’t want to work in healthcare or code?
24 F, TX. I started going to college when I was 16 because my high school paid for it. By the time I graduated my basics were done. I picked my major after the 2016 election, poltical science with a minor in history and I will say this is what I’m passionate about. I mean, I know it’s what all young people are passionate about. But I absolutely eat this shit up. Unfortunately I realized pretty quickly that I fucked myself. I do not want to be a lawyer. I don’t have the money or the GPA (I think I’m riding at a 2.5 and I blame that on not taking it seriously as a teenager) I just turned 24. I still don’t have a degree. I changed my major to computer science at one point, did a semester, then to social work for a semester. I fucking hate computer science. I’m great with computers and the go to IT girl at my job. I’ve had a computer and internet access since I was like 5 so it all comes second nature to me but computer science. I’ve tried to take the coding boot camps, I HATE them. I’m not good at following along at home or WFH. I fail miserably at both. I need someone to report to and to be afraid of lmao. I also have even less interest in healthcare, ANYTHING related to it. It’s literally what every woman down here does and they make stupid good money but it’s just..not for me. I don’t want to. I have a weak stomach on top of not having great customer service skills. I’ve been doing admin/office work for most of my twenties and I do enjoy it. I currently work at a nonprofit and it’s been a great place for me. My title is receptionist but I also do write their grants/all social media post and I think that’s my issue. None of my skills are high paying ones. I’m not interested in sales. Not to sound like a typical gen z’er, but it sounds stressful. I don’t want to have to meet certain quotas and be stressed over that. I would like something simple just 40-50 hours a week and the same paycheck every time. I have loved the non profit world and my personality type fits in perfect for it but I also know they pay caps out around $50,000 and that’s the high end unless you’re an ED or an actual grant writer. Money isn’t everything to me which is why I don’t want to leave my current job right now. I make $35,000 in a LCOL area and I have no student loans. I’m also just not an expensive person so I manage pretty well. I manage to read about a book a week at work, got a grant writing certificate while working, and when I was still taking classes, I could do all my HW/readings at work. My boss is an amazing person and I feel valued/cared for at my job. I started at $10 hr in October but have gotten 2 small raises since then on top of a $2k christmas bonus. I have no intention of leaving right now but i know the time will eventually come and I want to be prepared. I don’t want to just be a receptionist for the rest of my life (even though this is the job that keeps every buisness together and is highly important) Also, I have bipolar disorder. I manage well with a therapist but currently don’t take medication. I have disability accommodations with my school, when I go. I really do feel like this impacts my choices as well since it’s not something that’s going away. I never report this to any job and don’t plan to because of the stigma.

2023.06.09 16:07 MNKhawaja Giving tenant notice, trying to sell villa but re-renting it
Hi guys, I understand that per UAE property law, if you give your tenant a notice to vacate the villa with the intention to sell it, you cannot re rent it for two years. However what happens if you don’t get the selling price you are looking for? Can the tenant object to you re renting it and what does this mean...do you give him first right of refusal to rent at the same rent he was paying or at market rent?

2023.06.09 15:58 justathoughtfromme OOP's former school is using their current picture on the school website without permission.
Reminder, I am not OOP. This is a repost. TW:
Transphobia Original Post from May 16, 2023 - [US] [TX] My former school is claiming my parent's permission slip allows them fair use of my current work photo. I went to middle/high school in Texas over a decade ago and don't currently live in that state. For personal reasons I have avoided all contact with anyone from the school, alumni association, former teachers, etc.
Recently, I learned that the school's website, Instagram and Facebook pages had posted my middle and high school photos as a composite with a portrait off my employer's website sort of like a "look where they are now" thing. The composite is part of the alumni landing page on the school website.
My work photo is of me wearing a distinctive uniform and name badge and is not particularly easy to find online, but it is somewhere on my employer's web directory. I do not have the same name and look significantly different now as compared to school photos.
My employer states they were never contacted by the school. My work uses a photography service with their own media release which explicitly requires written permission for any third party use.
I sent a polite e-mail to the school requesting the photos be taken down. The reply I got was to the effect of, "we wish you well but permission has been granted for 'fair use' as per the documents attached". They had sent a scanned PDF of a media release permission slip signed by my parent about 15 years ago, with a highlighted section stating "I irrevocably authorize [school] to use the Photograph or any print or digital alterations thereof for current or future publication". The photo file itself was also attached (all 3 images mashed together as one file) except a white bar had been added on the bottom with "Date: [date of middle school photo]".
Needless to say, this is ridiculous. I haven't yet replied to that e-mail.
Ever since the photo was posted, I have been getting unsolicited FB requests and DMs from people which I all ignore. Worse, my employer has started getting phone calls asking if [former name] works there. I feel very uncomfortable that my current profession and personal details are being promoted for the school without my permission. I really don't want anyone else from my hometown to connect my current and former lives.
I am looking for some guidance on who could help me sort this out and if it might be worth going to civil court for. A lawyer acquaintance told me that I could prove no damages but I'm not sure.
Thanks!!!
First Update - May 24. 2023 This will probably be the only update as I'm considering my next steps but I appreciated all the good advice I got the last time.
recommended I ask my employers' photography service to contact my school with a DMCA notice. I did not reach out to the school directly. Someone from the the school's IT department replied to my email and not the photography service the next day. Their email was basically with their claims as below [I am paraphrasing because I don't want to use the exact language].
- The photograph is the property of the school and they can do what they please with it.
- The file properties (link to the screen shot is here) [Editor's note: transcription of image - Created: Saturday, July 17, 2004, 11:41:26AM, Modified: Saturday, July 17, 2004, 11:41:26AM, Accessed: Monday, September 13, 2010, 11:06:18AM] prove that the composite photo was taken in 2004 and per my parents release form, I disclaim all rights to it.
- The school has an interest in promoting diversity and it is sad as a Transgender individual I would not want to stand up to Greg Abbot.
The email was signed with a clear mocking of my current title (like "John Smith, Vice President for Information Security").
The part of this that annoys me the most is that I am not Transgender. I could see why someone might think that, but I changed my name, appearance and so on because of unsavory connections to my family. I certainly do feel bad for Trans people in Texas but this isn't my fight. I don't think it will be useful to try and communicate further with the school. I have read that if a website ignores a DMCA takedown, I could try and have their website domain suspended. Would that be the route to go? I don't trust Texas civil courts but if push comes to shove I will go the formal route.
Thanks again.
Final Update - June 2, 2023
I'm providing an update because I think it's important to highlight all the excellent advice I received and I think honestly this should qualify for a bestoflegaladvice post. I had previously posted here and here (Note - removed links to previous posts) regarding a ridiculous situation in which my old school had used a middle school portrait, mashed together with my current work headshot, in a derogatory way on their website and social media.
Multiple commenters suggested that I engage my employer's photography service as well as my employer's legal department to help. They were very eager to do so. The photographers sent a DMCA complaint via social media forms and the offending posts were removed within 48 hrs! Unfortunately the school website is hosted by Cloudflare and they did not respond to the takedown request. However, my composite photo was moved off the main page and into a new section called "Diversity and Inclusion". This is where my employer's legal department was super helpful. They sent a communication to the school's legal division essentially saying that what I was experiencing is targeted harassments based on perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. Shockingly quickly we heard back with a profuse apology and promise for full investigation and possibly also disciplining the employee who was responsible for the photo, doctored file properties, website and email. On that topic, I found out that this person married into my family (who apparently thinks the reason I don't talk to them is because they think i am Trans) so that seems like their motive.
All in all, I think this is as good of an outcome as I could have hoped for. I don't think I will seek any damages but we'll see. I just want to thank everyone again. I was nervous posting this because it seems so silly, but I really am grateful.
Reminder, I am not OOP. This is a repost.

2023.06.09 15:53 mrlee10 Need some positivity threw at me as a pessimistic villain with the looming threat of being drawn against Juventus in the UCL
This has been talked about a few times already and I’ve seen in the comments of other posts “bring on juventus” etc.
But man. There is no two ways about it. Being drawn against this team that technically wouldn’t be in the competition if they hadn’t been deducted points would be nothing short of a disaster.
I’m still praying we can somehow get a seeded number: but as a pessimistic Villa fan. I can just see it, the same as us always drawing man United in the cups. We’re gonna get juventus aren’t we… we just will. The immediate potential for our European adventure to just end before we’ve even qualified for round 1.
Help, how do I get these negative thoughts out my head 😩

2023.06.09 15:42 BitBraven M4 Sherman Tank (1.3.0)
New 3D Model
The new model comes with greatly improved, realistic textures, giving the M4 Sherman a rugged, wartime look. Not only that, but it is also much more optimized, made according to The Indie Stone's specifications for a proper, smooth experience. Huge thanks to
Silly for the new model!
Fixed Exploits
Previously, a Player could single handedly drive and fire by entering the vehicle from the gunner seat, pressing to fire the coaxial machine gun, and switching seats to the driver seat. This is no longer possible. You can still operate the vehicle in Singleplayer by constantly switching seats, but remember this is a tank, and tanks need crews. The M4 Sherman is much more suitable to be operated by a crew of at least two Players.

2023.06.09 15:36 LatexRuberptscLover A younger boy in rubber-latex is looking daddy (40-50+) who likes discipline.
I'm a younger guy for men who look out for long S/m sessions and enforce discipline with corporal punishment. I like pushing my body beyond my physical limits and mixing this pleasure with pain and sex. I'm talking about S/m sessions with physical discipline such as forced workouts, waterboarding, or corporal punishment at my Daddy's hand while dressed in latex or rubber clothes and other fetish gear.
I want to train so I become my Daddy's perfect boy servant. I enjoy insensitive training to push myself over as a slave every time during our little sessions. I like my master having control over when the slave is using the safe word or what pain limits the slave has - easily said I want to be something like a pain pig. I also would like my master put some tattoos or piercings to show me I'm owned every single day.
I also like constantly wearing pup masks, later, and rubber cover clothes.
The easiest pick-out match for me is someone working in a correction facility as a correction officer who likes to administer punishments to people locked up there. And also put chains around my body for a long time. The Daddy I seek is between 40-50+ and probably works a job that involves discipline and knows to discipline his boy into the perfect servant.
Location: TX
Sking color: White
Tall: 56.69 inches
Weight: 196.211 - regularly in the gym.
PS: If you think I'm your boy, DM me.
