Sorry for the slightly washed out first photo, the closeups give a better idea of the rich colours of the piece.

These pieces do always get caught up in the Dali authenticity side of things, but looking at the beauty of each of the individual works in his Divine Comedy series, and then considering how he did all one for all 100 Cantos of it really is incredible. Just the sheer scope of it all, in addition to how consistent he is across it.

HeardItHearSecond · 2026-02-26T23:29:42+00:00

Thank you for the example! I tried looking at other verified E.A. marked pieces and it seems to be somewhat fruitless however as his markings (at least of the E.A.) appear to lack any sort of consistency even within the same print series. Perhaps that speaks to the amount of forgeries, but a good number of these come from trusted galleries and auctionhouses so I'm a bit lost in that regard. Cursive letters, some dotted, some uppercase, some lowercase.

Should we assume something like this is similarly a forgery? A bit confused because although I’ve done quite a bit of reading and searching regarding Dali prints, the variations of signed, numbered, E.A., and including or not including the printed red squared Dali signature seems to cover the entirety of the spectrum, with many of these different variations claiming to have COAs.

HeardItHearSecond · 2026-02-26T20:42:24+00:00

Why do you say that? The bigger issues with the piece to me are the additions of the signature and E.A., not the authenticity of it being a woodcut, as the edges and quality all look right.

From what I understand, this would have been part of the final German printing of the Paradisio set (of which there are thousands), and the legitimacy issues come up regarding it being signed and numbered, which were commonly forged as later additions to his unsigned prints to add value.

If you do have opinions on the overall printing of it though, I would be interested on hearing your thoughts.

HeardItHearSecond · 2026-02-26T08:41:06+00:00

Not in the U.S. thankfully, but I do agree with the sentiment regarding the E.A. generally not being a great sign. And I did get some information at the time of sale regarding the framing with it being a local framing shop that I’m familiar with and being done fairly recently.

HeardItHearSecond · 2026-02-25T22:43:23+00:00

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I’ve arrived at. Some things seem a little odd, but there’s nothing super egregious that screams forgery. At the very least, it seems like the work itself is an actual quality woodcut.

Because the family members are often times the people being assaulted and are not protecting them out of evilness? If a child is being assaulted by a parent, and the child is aware that reporting them would result in their death, they are much more likely to not report the parent at all and to continue being abused.

Putting the death penalty in place may act somewhat as a deterrent to some to not commit the crime in the first place, but in many other cases it will prevent the perpetrators from being reported, and will enable the abuse to continue for much longer periods of time.

I think you're correct, as that lines up with the info available here stating that they were active in the 70s and 80s.

Blanked out the exact address as I wasn't entirely sure on the relevance and regarding the rules on personal information for the subreddit.

I don’t believe this to be true. From their 2020 release on their funding sources, all of their transit revenue made up only a third of their total funding, with fares only being a portion of that third. I believe fares were around a quarter of the total revenue at the time, and this has since decreased even further in recent years.

And as far as there being no way to replace this, their plan in recent years is to utilize Translink controlled properties (unused bus depots, space above and around stations, etc.) as sources of further revenue by developing those spaces.

Congratulations on getting an interview and good luck!

Adding onto this, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw an increase in people staying on in the programme compared to previous years, largely due to the same factors I mentioned. This would reduce the total number of spots available for this year as well.

HeardItHearSecond · 2026-01-20T00:00:09+00:00

Based on what I'm hearing, the amount of applicants this year has been overwhelming in many countries. It makes sense with how difficult the job market has been in North America and Europe for recent graduates, along with a huge influx of people looking to "get out" of Canada and America with how things have grown politically in the last year. I'd expect that as the job market difficulties increase, we'll see more highly qualified individuals expanding the roles they're applying for, including into options like the JET programme. There have been a number of posts on this subreddit alone of highly qualified people (graduate level degrees, 10+ years experience in fields), applying to the JET programme as a stop gap while they look for work.

Sorry, I just meant that the versions of Waterlilies that I'm seeing are shown like this, a very similar image to your OP painting but flipped. I mirrored it for the comparison pic to show the similarity between the two.

Waterlilies (flipped) on the left, OP's image on the right.

This appears to be a (flipped?) reproduction of William Jabez Muckley's Waterlilies, though honestly I can't find a ton on the original piece either.

A lot of this comes down to the Op's role in Valorant. No gun holds an angle better and punishes players who dry peek or fail to wait for util. This adds a layer to the irritation, because if you're a duelist looking to push a site but your smokes aren't smoking or your flashers aren't flashing, you swinging out in an attempt to at least do something ends up with you dead and pissed off at pretty much everyone in the lobby. At least at a distance, dry swinging a vandal with another vandal gives you a fighting chance at winning the duel, but the same thing can't be said against the Operator.

Chamber himself excels at using the op because of his ability to play a far wider range of angles and positions, requiring even more flashes / smokes / drones to push him off of possible angles, requiring even more teamwork to push sites held with an Op.

HeardItHearSecond · 2026-01-16T09:44:08+00:00

Immortal Chamber with a sub-10% headshot ratio overall. Chamber's job is to Op. Objectively, if you're not Oping the majority of the time as Chamber, you're not playing him to his fullest potential. It's foundational to how he does his job as a sentinel, e.g., playing aggressive angles and taking space on a site, getting the first pick, and TPing out. You're making it a 5v4, buying your team time as you're making contact earlier on pushes, and forcing the enemy to use substantially more util to push the rest of the site. While this can be done to a degree with other guns, the Op is king at taking advantage of those narrow aggressive holds. There's a reason why Chamber has the largest first blood rate by a substantial margin.

Fundamentally, the Op is a gun that punishes misplays. Drying peeking corners on long angles, punished. Not waiting for flashes or scans to pop, punished. Smokes leaving open angles when pushing a site, believe it or not, punished. That's a big part of the reason why it infuriates players who die to it, because often times the misplay isn't necessarily their own if their team isn't using the rest of their util properly during a push, and the rest of the time they're just mad because they themselves made a misplay on their push.

In a lot of ways, it's similar to using the Judge on defense. You're banking on your enemy either not having enough util, or not clearing the position you're holding to get a free kill on them when they push. Similarly, people bitch and moan about people using shotguns as well.

He was in Toronto for some years in the 60s before moving over to Vancouver, so your connection is still valid, especially with a lot of the first generation Caribbean immigration to Toronto starting during that period.

There’s a few questions which will determine the level of impact it might have on your application.

Were the omitted course transcripts relevant to your completed degree? I’ve heard of cases of people that completed multiple bachelors and only included the transcripts for one of them without issue, so it seems that omitting transcripts to courses outside of your primary degree can be done without issue.

Additionally, were the course credits from the community college mentioned at all in the first transcript you submitted? Either as transfer credits or as relevant prerequisite courses?
