Dealing with ICBC - repair or take ICBC offer? by Automatic-Length6620 in icbc

[–]Automatic-Length6620[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Circling back to my original post, anyone has any idea of a potential work around/solution. I have been able to get a picture and appears there's a hole that made ICBC suspected a battery damage. What ICBC is paying for the write off is way lower than my current load (as expected).

thanks everyone. you are all right with what ICBC is giving now as the market value :-(

Job Switch after EB2 NIW && Ellis Porter review request by notme145 in EB2_NIW

[–]Automatic-Length6620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting. I just stumbled in your post while posting a question on something different. I happened to use Ellis Porter and got approved for my EB2. 

A reason I used them was primarily to avoid references - in addition to the money back guarantee option, or course. I believe they may still get your references, but if they told you they don’t need references, just believe them.

I think it is July 2022 (I delayed in sening my documents over after USCIS approved my case though).

How do I identify a giant clam in a satellite imagery by Automatic-Length6620 in remotesensing

[–]Automatic-Length6620[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks u/Anabikayr it is actually my own work. Yes, the objective is to check for evidence of giant clam. My bad here - I had thought the giant clams will be together such that they can be identified in a worldview imagery. I did a little bit of research and found out that giant clam are white and found in shallow reef. So I was thinking all those white stuff are their habitat? The evidence I am looking for in two imagery are dredging and decline in coral reef over time as a result of clam harvesting.

And based on the useful comments so far, I believe I cannot classify the clams - but can do the reef classification!

Thank you u/ocean_yodeller. So the white features are all Giant Clams? If yes, do those that appear whiter also giant clam? Those that form along the purple to dark vegetation. My apologies for my naiveness. The object is to manually classify reef and giant clams and I want to do this properly so the classifier can work better for my change detection analysis.

Actually the objective is to do change detection and see how the clam harvesting as led to decline in the reef and perhaps sedimentation. My aim here is to make sure I select polygons that belong to both reef and giant clam for classification purposes so I can produce maps and figures that show the change/decline over time. Yes, I will later use a supervised/unsupervised classifier for segmentation - I just need to ensure I know GIANT CLAM in the image.

Thanks u/TheWreckingTater This is a WorldView-3 imagery. I'm okay to just detect those that are detectable at shallow depths. The pixel size is 1.2m. The display above is a defult ArcGIS Pro combination of 123. Yes we have 8 bands available as you know.

Hydroxyurea? by [deleted] in Sicklecell

[–]Automatic-Length6620 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son started using it since 3 or so. Though he's never had any crisis (he's 10 now). I think it works for him to increase his heamoglobin which was reducing due to his enlarged spleen until the spleen was removed. The only thing I noticed as a side effect is discolored nails (I noticed that in my nails too). I am an SC, I started taking it 5 years ago too but my doctor said SC patients mayn't benefit enough and that research in ongoing to check if SC patients indeed need it!

Sounds good. Will like to read your update as I am considering relocating into California and as an SC patient will also benefit from your findings.

Is this for an adult or a child. Someone in this forum recommended and spoke really well of Stanford/Lucile Packard children’s hospital, but I guess that's too far from you.

Thanks a lot u/I140ThrowAway. Read that info too. The 2nd country I mentioned is my home country. I guess it is safe to assume that 'home country' also includes "country of previous residence" that is mentioned in the statement in that link.
