PTCB is relaunching OnVUE, allowing PTCB CPhTs to earn advanced credentials more conveniently.
"Following an evaluation period of our initial launch in 2020, we are excited to move forward with this expanded testing option for our certificants," said Khunteang Pa, Senior Director of Certification Operations. "Relaunching online proctored delivery of PTCB's Assessment-Based Certificate Exams empowers pharmacy technicians to pursue career advancement with more flexibility."
Administered on a secure platform using artificial intelligence combined with live virtual proctor supervision and monitoring, online exams are the same as those administered at a test center. To take their exam online, candidates need a computer with a webcam, a reliable internet connection, and a quiet space where they can spend a few uninterrupted hours. In-person testing is still available at Pearson VUE testing centers for all PTCB exams.
PTCB offers a growing suite of advanced and specialty credentials for pharmacy technicians to invest in their careers as their responsibilities expand. With almost 60 percent of PTCB-certified technicians considering the profession their long-term career, technicians must have the opportunity to grow and demonstrate their knowledge and skills. Certified pharmacy technicians reported higher wages than non-certified technicians, according to the 2022 PTCB Workforce Survey, which received responses from over 20,000 technicians.
PTCB currently offers ten Assessment-Based Certificate Programs–such as Regulatory Compliance, Point-of-Care Testing, and Supply Chain and Inventory Management–that open doors for technicians to demonstrate their knowledge, receive recognition, and grow in their careers. For a complete list and more information, please visit ptcb.org/credentials/.

In a previous post, we talked about how to use a Redis Cache in .net Core. In most large scale scenarios, Redis is going to be your goto. But for tiny sites that have a single web instance, or for sites that really only need a local cache, InMemory caching is much easier to get setup with and obviously does away with wrangling a Redis server.
Interestingly, .net Core currently offers two ways to implement a local in memory cache. We'll take a look at both.
The first option is to use what is simply known in .net core as IMemoryCache. It's similar to what you may have used in standard ASP.net in terms of storing an object in memory by a key.
Now everytime a cache entry expires, you will be notified about it. Usually there are very limited reasons why you would want to do this, but the option is there should you want it!
Also supported is CancellationTokens. Again, a feature that probably won't be used too often, but can be used to invalidate a set of cache all in one go. CancellationTokens are notoriously difficult to debug and get going, but if you have the need it's there!
A "distributed" memory cache is probably a bit of an oxymoron. It's obviously not distributed if it's sitting local to a machine. But the big advantage to going down this road is that should to intend to switch to using Redis in the future, the interfaces between the RedisDistributedCache and the In Memory one are exactly the same. It's just a single line of difference in your startup. This may also be helpful if locally you just want to use your machines cache and not have Redis setup.
Your controller or class where you inject it should look a bit like the following. Again, this code is actually taken directly from our Redis Cache tutorial, the implementation is exactly the same for InMemory, it's only the call in ConfigureServices in your startup.cs that changes.
Now, looking at what we said about IMemoryCache above, PostEvictionCallback and CancellationTokens cannot be used here. This makes sense because this interface for the most part is supposed to be used with distributed environments, any machine in the environment (Or the cache itself) could expire/remove a cache entry.
Another very important difference is that while IMemoryCache accepts C# "objects" into the cache, a distributed cache does not. A distributed cache can only accept byte arrays or strings. For the most part this isn't going to be a big deal. If you are trying to store large objects just run them through a JSON serializer first and store them as a string, when you pull them out deserialize them into your object.
You are likely going to write an abstraction layer on top of either caching interface meaning that your controllers/services aren't going to see much of it. For what you should use in that abstraction, I tend to go with the Distributed Cache for no other reason that should I ever want to move to using Redis, I have the option there.
However I'm a little confused regarding when and how to use Redis.


Bootstrap 4 is just better than Bootstrap 3 (or Joomla native Bootstrap 2 ) it uses recent methods and even though it is still alpha we use it over 2 years successfully on our own website.
The use of Bootstrap 4 is simple, but to make it work in Joomla! is not "instinctive". As Bootstrap 4 is Alpha the workflow has to be adjusted, that one can easily switch to the latest code basis and not loose all the former work.
There will be an introduction in Bootstrap 4 as well as an introduction to SASS, as Bootstrap 4 relies not anymore on LESS but on SASS. I will show practical examples and ways how to set up production process.
The Session is for developers and designers .... still a technical background is required.

Security Botswana
More biometric tech for Botswana Police Service
By Andrew Maramwidze
Advanced biometric and RFID access control technology ensures verification of employee, visitor and contractor identities
Morpho South Africa, a subsidiary of Safran Identity & Security, has signed a contract with Botswana Police Service (BPS) for an upgrade and rationalisation of an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) into a single, multi-biometric and multi-use new-generation platform.
The new system will use both fingerprint and facial recognition and will serve all the identification requirements of various government departments.
According to the contract, Morpho South Africa will deliver liveScan and cardScan stations as well as mobile handheld devices and will also be responsible for the maintenance of the system for three years.
Paul Jeremias, Managing Director, Morpho South Africa said, "Not only it is more cost-effective but also it is a vital facilitator of increasing national security and enabling e-government services."

BPS spokesperson Assistant Police Commissioner Witness Boseja did not go into detail about the project, but told local media that acquiring the new system is a national security issue.
"Yes, it's common for such equipment to be used by the police. I cannot at this point disclose which company we have a contract with, at what cost and how we are going to benefit from the system because disclosing such information to the public can be risky to national security," said Boseja.
According to Safran, BPS has regularly chosen the company's products or solutions to meet its requirements since 1998.
"This will be one of the most advanced and complex systems ever delivered in terms of integration with multiple systems and the segregation and security of the data of each department," Jeremias added.

Georgia is one of the most prosperous states in the US. In fact, it would be the twenty-eighth largest economy worldwide if it were a nation on its own. Part of its success comes from its positive business environment. Did you know that over fifteen Fortune 500 companies have their headquarters in Georgia? However, the strength of the Peach State does not come from these firms. Instead, it comes from Georgia's local neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are an embodiment of the state's culture, values, and ambition. Among them are the various communities in Middle Georgia.
For example, Houston County in Middle Georgia has six distinct areas namely Bonaire, Byron, Centerville, Kathleen, Perry, and Warner Robins. The principal values in these close-knit communities are family, security, and prosperity. Learning more about Middle Georgia is an excellent idea because it helps you determine the most suitable area for you and your family to call home. Remember, a good neighborhood is critical. It will offer you security and peace of mind. Your children will find good friends and so will you.
Here is some critical information on these areas to help you decide which is best suited for your needs.
One of the things that make Warner Robins so appealing when it comes to raising a family is the presence of Robins Air Force Base. The base stabilizes the local economy because it is constantly active with new contracts and contractors being added to the community all the time. Moreover, the presence of a significant military installation means that security is always a top priority in Warner Robins.
You should also note that the second-largest aviation museum in the U.S. is in this area. This museum is good for business because it brings in tourists who purchase local goods and services. Additionally, it is a good place for your kids to visit occasionally so that they can learn more about U.S. history. Other things that your family might enjoy include baseball programs at local stadiums and performance arts at the Little Theater in Warner Robins.
Buying a home in this city is a good step. For example, the cost of living in this city is low as compared to other areas of Georgia. Furthermore, Warner Robins also has decent schools that will offer your children a good education. For more details preview the available Warner Robins homes for sale.
Bonaire had a population of 13,999 people in 2008. This small population size makes it ideal for couples who want to raise a family. More specifically, it means that you will know your child's friends, teachers, and coaches. You will also have an idea of the places your kid visits. Therefore, monitoring your child's activities with great ease is possible if you live in Bonaire. Doing so will help you keep him out of trouble.
It is important to note that the population size in this area is increasing exponentially. In fact, Bonaire experienced a 129% rise in its population size from 1990 to 2008. Buying a home in Bonaire as soon as possible before the demand for housing in this area becomes insatiable is a wise move. Remember, a high demand for real estate in a particular area pushes up the cost of buying properties in that area.
Bryon is mostly in Peach County, but a portion of it extends into Houston County. It has all the things you need to live comfortably including retail outlets, malls, and restaurants. In 2000, this community had a population of 2,887 people. The population of this community is steadily increasing. More specifically, it reached 5,105 people in 2015. That is a population increase of 56.55% in less than 15 years.
Byron real estate prices are also rising in Bryon because the supply of homes does not match this phenomenal increase in the size of its population. Buying properties in this small community today and then selling them later is an excellent idea.
Centerville lies between the cities of Byron and Warner Robins. One of the largest malls in Houston County (i.e. the Galleria Mall) is in Centerville, Georgia. Shopping at this mall will be a great experience for you and your family. For example, you can eat at one of the many restaurants, shop for sports gear at Hibbett Sports, or buy a video game at GameStop. Of course you have plenty of jewelry and clothing stores to pick from too.
You can also go to the Galleria Stadium Cinema, which is close to the mall. Watch a film or two at this movie theater before you head home. Another good thing about Centerville, Georgia is that it has a small population. This population size makes it ideal for raising your kids because it lacks some of the negative influences that are common in big cities. Here is a handy list of houses for sale in Centerville.
Kathleen is an unincorporated city in Houston County. It has a thriving community that is constantly growing. Most people love Kathleen because it has a vibrant service industry. For example, it has some of the best restaurants in Houston County. This city also has numerous entertainment spots including the Lake Joy Trail of Terror on Lake Joy Road. Moreover, Kathleen's most recently completed school, Veterans High School, has a variety of events focused on fine arts.
Perry is the administrative center of Houston County. It is a significant city, historically and culturally. For instance, the family of President Jimmy Carter frequented the New Perry Hotel during his time in office. This city also has a museum that displays military, political, and agricultural exhibits among others. Moreover, Perry is ideal for anyone who appreciates fun and adventure because it has numerous festivals and fairs including the Georgia National Fair and the Dogwood Festival.
The time to buy real estate in Perry is now. Remember, the city had a small population of 9,600 people in 2000. Today, it has more than 15,500 people. That means real estate prices will increase as time goes so buying properties in Perry today is an excellent idea.
Whatever area in middle Georgia you decide to call your home, you have the ability to enjoy both city and country living. With plenty of amenities, there is certainly no shortage of activities in the immediate area.

Freelancers hoping for furlough dealt a blow
By Max Goldbart2020-04-11T10:19:00+01:00
Indies halt re-hiring process due to shift in advice
Freelancers whose contracts were coming to a "natural end" rather than being halted due to coronavirus appear to have been left in the lurch by an apparent change in government advice.
Broadcast understands that some indies have stopped re-hiring then immediately furloughing freelancers after believing that workers' contracts must have ended due to Covid-19 in order to qualify for the government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
Employers had originally thought it could apply to any freelancers who were on payroll on 28 February.
Treasury officials are understood to have clarified the department's stance on Thursday afternoon (9 April), following two weeks of confusion.
The move represents a shift in the advice delivered by chancellor Rishi Sunak and is extremely unwelcome for this set of freelancers, many of which are in dire need of financial support.
During a Twitter Q&A eight days ago (3 April), Sunak said that if a person was on a company's payroll on 28 February and then left "for whatever reason", that business can re-hire and immediately furlough them so that they can receive support from the government of up to £2,500 per month.
Additionally, in a blog for TV Watercooler, Mark Watson, a director who campaigns against poor working practices in the TV industry, noted that HMRC's Customer Support Twitter account had advised multiple people in this situation they could be furloughed even if their contract had "come to a natural end" rather than been cut short by Covid-19.
Since then, the HMRC Support account has at times been issuing contradictory advice, sometimes telling people they can be furloughed and sometimes saying they can't.
But as of yesterday (10 April), trade body Pact had updated its guidance to indies.
Pact's website confirms that workers can only be re-hired then furloughed if "their contract was suspended due to the impact of Covid-19 with some remaining work still to be done under the contract, and the prospect of returning to complete that work at some point in the future".
The government's guidance on those engaged on short-term PAYE contracts states: "Where a fixed term employee's contract ends because it is not extended or renewed, you will no longer be able claim grant for them."
But it also goes on to state that if any employee was made redundant, or they stopped working, on or after 28 February 2020, you can re-employ them, put them on furlough and claim for their wages through the scheme.
This has not changed and is also causing confusion.
Pact chief executive John McVay said while the trade body is "desperate to help freelancers", its members must follow government guidelines or risk committing a criminal offence.
Super-indies had started the process of re-hiring freelancers then furloughing them for government support but will now have to take a more stringent approach.
Many freelancers were reporting yesterday that indies were rowing back on re-hiring them due to these updated guidelines.
Freelancer fears
The move could be another blow for TV's freelance community, many of whom were not on any company's payroll on 28 February and are already slipping through the cracks.
It is another indication of the size of the challenge facing the government as it attempts to create schemes that support the UK's 5 million-strong freelance workforce.
Sunak originally said his emergency measures would reach around 95% of the self-employed community but a Film & TV Charity survey last week found that three quarters of film and TV freelancers believe they will not receive support.
An HMRC spokesman said: "[The scheme] is designed to help employers whose operations have been severely affected by coronavirus to retain their employees and protect the UK economy.
"However, all employers are eligible to claim under the scheme and the government recognises different businesses will face different impacts from coronavirus."

Parona (precedentemente Parona di Valpolicella) è una frazione di 3.355 abitanti del comune di Verona nel Veneto. Fu comune autonomo fino al 1927. Attualmente fa parte della Circoscrizione 2 Nord-Ovest del comune di Verona.

Parona nel passato fu un porto importante sul fiume Adige, soprattutto come porta di ingresso a Verona per le merci provenienti dal nord Europa.

Etimologia
Il nome del paese potrebbe derivare dal termine latino parronius, letteralmente "luogo pieno di sassi e rocce", oppure secondo un'altra ipotesi dalle numerose "parone", cioè le padrone delle osterie, presenti sul territorio.

Geografia fisica

Territorio

La cittadina, posta alle porte della Valpolicella, è attraversata da due strade principali provinciali parallele, la S.P. 1a del Brennero e la S.P. 4 della Valpolicella.

Storia
La prima documentazione scritta inerente Parona risale al Medioevo; più precisamente il documento più antico è dell'anno 954. Il paese era sotto il controllo dell'Abbazia di San Zeno la quale, nel 1165, lo infeudò ad una tra le più potenti famiglie veronesi: i Monticali. Parona rivestiva notevole importanza strategica, in quanto posizionata sulla strada romana Claudia Augusta Padana, passaggio obbligato per tutti gli eserciti invasori.

La nascita del comune rurale di Parona risale alla seconda metà del Duecento.

Le principali attività economiche erano di natura agricola, legate alla lavorazione della pietra e della lana; oltre a tutte le attività collegate alla navigazione fluviale.

Una data importante per il paese è la pestilenza del 1630, che dimezzò gli abitanti.

L'Ottocento è il secolo delle dominazioni straniere e per Parona ci furono importanti novità; infatti si ricordano in quegli anni la nascita dell'asilo e delle scuole elementari, la ricostruzione della chiesa, la costruzione delle ferrovie Verona - Brennero e Verona - Caprino e il passaggio del paese sotto il controllo della famiglia Alessandri.

Nel Novecento si ricorda, in modo terribile, il bombardamento alleato del luglio 1944, che provocó morte e distruzione.

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse

Parona può vantare diverse ville signorili e un acquedotto romano, situato presso la galleria sulla strada provinciale della Valpolicella. Di non particolare interesse architettonico e storico, ma molto importante come nodo ferroviario, il ponte della ferrovia: come lo si può ammirare oggi, è molto diverso da come era in passato, dopo il bombardamento alleato e per il recente rimodernamento ma soprattutto per l'apposizione di un'alta barriera di ferro che separa i binari dallo stretto camminamento che permette a pedoni motorini e biciclette di attraversare.

Il campanile della chiesa parrocchiale dei Santi Filippo e Giacomo ospita 6 melodiose campane in Mib3 montate per essere suonate secondo la tecnica dei concerti di Campane alla veronese.

Eventi e manifestazioni
La sua manifestazione più tipica è la "Festa de la Renga", dedicata al piatto tipico della polenta con aringa. Si svolge ogni anno il mercoledì delle Ceneri.

La manifestazione riempie il paese di persone provenienti da tutta la provincia e oltre, essendo la chiusura del carnevale veronese.
Nel primo pomeriggio si può vedere la sfilata delle maschere con in testa la maschera del paese, "la parona de Parona" e il sire del carnevale veronese "il Papà del Gnoco". Sfilano per le strade tra la gente regalando caramelle ai bambini e si ritrovano nel parco cittadino di piazza del Porto, presentandosi alla popolazione e ravvivando così la giornata.

You might be thinking "I don't know what to do", but I argue that even if you did you may not have enough passion and detail to follow through. To truly be successful at anything you must set a path and be consist.

Sunlight pierces the canopy and illuminates a vine maple in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon.
Forest scenes are very challenging for me. To find simplicity in chaos takes a special way of seeing. It takes a certain mood.. a cohesiveness with my environment.
I had been walking the forest for nearly two hours looking for a scene that I could be satisfied with. I just couldn't do it. Friends I was shooting with were photographing scenes that I had walked past and didn't even consider and they would come up with something really nice. I wasn't in that zone. I was flustered. Pissed.
Frustrated, I gave up on the forest and walked towards the creek for a consolation photo while my friends retired to the meeting area for beers, conversation, and good company. I HAD to get at least something I could consider a keeper.
We had great light all day long. The thick canopy diffused the harsh light into yellows and greens. It lit up the vine maples and moss. The weather was perfect. The situation was perfect. Great conditions, good friends, nature, my camera.. and yet here I was in a sour mood.
As I took off towards the creek I saw one last stand of vine maple trees and figured 'Why not?'. I walked over, sat down, put the sun in a place where it would cause this sunstar effect, and this is the scene I saw. This was it. This was my shot.
I only had a couple of minutes before the sun disappeared behind the branch and I lost this composition. I set up, checked my settings, and started shooting. I finally started to feel good. I found the yin to my yang and it was represented in the tree shape.
Needless to say.. my friends saw me walking back up with the biggest smile on my face.

Oct. 18 (UPI) -- A noted Australian graffiti artist known as Lushsux created new murals Wednesday on the West Bank's security barrier wall.
The street artist painted murals depicting U.S. President Donald Trump, Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and comedian Larry David, among others.
Lushsux added bubble quotes to the artworks, including an image of actor Morgan Freeman with words from civil rights leader Nelson Mandela: "We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians."
Another political mural shows Hillary Clinton asking, "what happened?" -- to which Trump answers, "I happened."
One mural depicts Trump writing a letter to rapper Eminem, using the artists own lyrics after the singer's viral takedown of the president earlier this week.
Zuckerberg, meanwhile, was cited as the "Founder of Myspace." The billionaire and philanthropist, however, actually founded Facebook.
Many of the murals contain images from the animated sitcom Rick and Morty. Characters from the show often give politically charged messages, including the idea of solving the "whole damn Middle East crisis."

Q: Using multiple datasets in same JSON file with d3 I'm attempting to modify the Line Plus Bar chart from nvd3 so that when a button is clicked, the chart will switch to data from a different day of the week (Sun-Sat).
Right now I'm having trouble just getting it to display the data from one day of the week; it displays all days of the week for some reason. Here is my code:
d3.json("employee_data.json",function(error,data) {
  if(error) return console.warn(error);
  nv.addGraph(function() {
      var chart = nv.models.linePlusBarChart()
            .margin({top: 30, right: 60, bottom: 50, left: 70})
            //We can set x data accessor to use index. Reason? So the bars all appear evenly spaced.
            .x(function(d,i) {
              console.log(i)
              return i })
            .y(function(d,i) {
              return d[1] })
            ;

      chart.xAxis.tickFormat(function(d,i) {
        var dx = data[0].values[i] && data[0].values[i][0] || 0;
        return 'Sun' + dx
      });

      chart.y1Axis
          .tickFormat(d3.format(',f'));

      chart.y2Axis
          .tickFormat(function(d) { return d3.format(',f')(d) });

      chart.bars.forceY([0]);

      d3.select('#chart svg')
        .datum(data)
        .transition()
        .duration(0)
        .call(chart);

      nv.utils.windowResize(chart.update);

      return chart;
  });

});

The JSON is set up in a manner similar to:
[
  {
    "key" : "Sun_Employees",
    "bar" : true,
    "color" : "#ccf",
    "values" : [[0,2],[1,2],[3,2],[4,3],...,[23,1]]
  },
  {
    "key": "Sun_Tasks",
    "color" : "#333",
    "values" : [[0,5],[1,6],[2,5],[3,7],...,[23,2]]
  },
  {
    "key" : "Mon_Employees",
    "bar" : true,
    "color" : "#ccf",
    "values" : [[0,2],[1,2],[3,2],[4,3],...,[23,1]]
  },
  {
    "key": "Mon_Tasks",
    "color" : "#333",
    "values" : [[0,5],[1,6],[2,5],[3,7],...,[23,2]]
  }
}

I think the issue has to do with the .x(function(d,i) { return i}) line, but don't know how I would go about limiting it.

A: Try filtering the data before binding it to your selection. This would look something like:
var filteredData = data.filter(function(d) { return d.key.startsWith("Sun"); });
d3.select('#chart svg')
  .datum(filteredData)
  ...

Q: Need to do further operations on an immutable frozen set in a pandas dataframe I am trying to do a join on two pandas dataframes, one of which is the result of running an Apriori algorithm from the mlxtend package. When I tried joining the two, it outputted a bunch of None's. I think that at least one of the reasons for this is that one of the dataframes by which I am joining contains "(" and ")" in two of the columns and I have attempted to remove them with no luck because they are immutable frozen sets.
I am going to try to replicate a minimum sample from both dataframes here:
here is a sample of the one data frame:
cat_num             description                     code
(32934-082)         FILTER PAPER #413 75MM 100/PK   2006101
(32934-082)         BULB- 20W HALOGEN (12V)         2099804

and here is a sample of the other:
antecedants consequents support confidence  lift
(32934-082) (32934-080) 0.0124  0.629032    43.682796
(32934-080) (32934-082) 0.0144  0.541667    43.682796

The final result I would like to see is:
description                    hier_code     antecedents consequents supp
FILTER PAPER #413 75MM 100/PK  2006101       32934-082   32934-080 0.0124
BULB- 20W HALOGEN (12V)        2099804       32934-080   32934-082 0.0144

When I do the join's it shows me NaN for all the rows in the columns even know I know they should all have matches. I converted to a string to try to see if I can potentially do a join in this way using
rules.antecedants = rules.antecedants.apply(np.str) but it gave me output that looks like:

antecedent                 consequent
frozenset(['32934-082'])   frozenset(['32934-080'])

so I see that I have an immutable Frozenset that I can't easily breakup. What can I do in order to be able to properly join the two tables?

Adopted son's search for birthparents rekindles an old love
Bob Collins October 8, 2018, 9:25 AM Oct 8, 2018
Dave Lindgren, 53, and Michele Newman, 55, were high school sweethearts when they were growing up in Loyal, Wis. But after they'd already broken up, Newman found out she was pregnant. They decided to put the baby up for adoption.
Then they moved on in the early '80s. Separately. He stayed in Wisconsin, married and divorced three times. She ended up in Hawaii, married and divorced twice. She never had another child.
End of story? No, because the baby grew up to want to know who his birth parents were.
Enter Will Schmidt, the former director of public health for La Crosse County, who ended up settling in Missouri with his wife, children, and a longing to know more about where he came from.
"I knew they had me when they were young," Schmidt tells the La Crosse Tribune. "There is a lot of life between the time you're a teen and 35 years later."
He found his birth parents in 2014, and contacted them separately.
Then Lindgren and Newman contacted each other for the first time in decades.
"It was just catching up on 30 some years," Newman tells the paper. "We were both kind of shocked by our connection, but it also felt comfortable."
"It just felt right," Lindgren said. "It felt natural. Before I even saw her again, I felt something."
Newman moved back to Wisconsin and met her son. Then, in 2015, everyone met in Colorado so father could meet son.
Schmidt noticed something. His birth parents seemed to be in love.
"They had kind of changed the equation a little. But they seemed happy, and I was happy for them. You can kind of tell when people are good together," he said.
"I've told Dave and Michele, 'I'm so glad you gave me up for adoption and I had the life that I had,'" Schmidt said.
This summer, the two were married in Marshfield, Wis.
The officiant was their son.

As an indie game developer, or even anyone working on a personal project, especially alone, motivation is a key element of a project's.
It may sound a bit silly at first, since, well, some people could say: « motiviation is up to you, it's a matter of will », etc.
For all of us, losers and other people trying to make it in life, we have to hack our own brains.
What I want to talk about here, is, as many people already know, the difficulty of maintaining motivation on a time frame of several years, working alone on a project, while having a job (or not) aside, and most of the time having a real life too.
Define your project before working on it. And by define, I mean, of course, limit your ideas to remain into something not too big, so that you can reasonably finish it.
In Dreams of Ylina, I wanted to make something a little bigger than what I had done before, I wanted to make a real Adventure/Action/RPG, in a more or less open world. But I've limited it (maybe I should have limited it more) to an island, the island of Ylina. Practically, I reduced the size of the terrain in Unity, to prevent myself from making a too beautiful and huge terrain with Gaia and then having to fill it. And I limited many things on paper first.
Actually I don't really define all the project before I start coding (booo), I usually work on a paper, then start to make tests in Unity while still defining other things on paper. But still, my point remains.
In the same idea as limiting your project from the beginning, do not hesitate to sacrifice things, some gameplay aspects, etc. in order to focus first on the main mechanics of you game, which can be different from one game to another.
Usually, what we used to say in programming is that the UI is 10% of an app, while 90% of the time you spent on it.
I had read on a facebook group for developers: do you prefer to work on the design then get inspired by it to make the rest, or the other way around? Or something like that. I'm more a fan of defining the mechanics before talking about design, but that's partly because as a developer, when it comes to design I don't have enough skills that make useful to have the same work done about design than I have about programming, with UML diagrams, and all. Of course, I'm also opened to modify the functionalities of the game according to new ideas that would be inspired to me during the level design process, for example. My UML diagrams are not fixed (booo!).
In an ideal world, I would also write on a paper what visual effects, models, light I want for every scene, before even going on Unity. But clearly for that I should first be aware of things that are possible to do in Unity, as well as things I'm able to do. In Dreams of Ylina I am learning these during the making of the game so trying to define it before would have be of little use.
Back to the main subject: why focus to maintain motivation? To avoid taking a side path that's too long and too far from the core mechanics of your game, just because you started setting up trees on your map, and since you're a perfectionnist, you wanted to place every single tree before moving back to coding. Focus on the core of your game: this way you can have a working project, which you can polish afterwards. I don't mean you can't take a break from coding and do some level design to, i don't know, use another part of your brain for a while, but always remember to regularly get back to the most important things first, after these breaks.
In film music composing, I have a class concerning « classical » music analysis (« classical », as in cultivated music, not just the « classical » period of history of music), and I don't know why but it always take me a lot of time to start analysing pieces like Debussy's. Partly because it doesn't fit the classical and romantic structures, therefore, I don't know where to start.
Usually, to get myself started, I start writing general stuff about Debussy, of the piece. Then the characterization of the piece: like, the music is sad, joyful, (of course searching also for other words). Then trying to search for repeated musical ideas, and so on. I do that because it's easier to find and write, but it makes me enter the piece and then I can try to find more « hidden » interesting ideas in the music. Whereas in many Mozart pieces for example, I'd say: here is the first main idea, then second, then back to the first with variations, etc.
In game developing, it's a bit different, but the « one small step at at time » principle can be used too. These days, I'm in a situation where the core mechanics of the game are done, still to be debbugged but mostly done, the levels are almost all designed too. What's left is usually finishing or fine tuning a bit of everything, and beside of that I have quite a lot of work on other things.
I'm not saying I have no motivation, because gladly on this project I have never really lost motivation in the past 2 or 3 years. Now, I have written a list of everything that's left to do. And I'm more or less telling myself, when I have a few hours to work on it, or more: okay, let's do this particular thing (like, writing a missing dialog for a secondary quest, etc.). Not thinking about the other things left to do, just focusing on that one step. Then I'll look for another one.
In the end, let's say that, as always, it depends on the situations and the people. We're not all the same (amazing isn't it?), and knowing yourself, your own way of thinking and doing things, your own qualities and flaws, seems to be very useful. I know for example that I should not try to learn how to use Maya or Blender, or even Z-brush or Scruptris, and try to make by myself all the 3D models I need. Beucase if I do, I'll either lose a bit of motivation, certainly a lot of time, and the game will be out in 2050.
Same for many aspects or life. Lots of parents have experience the fact of some other people telling them: « you should do this or that with your child ». Sometimes it's because studies have been made to find what's better for your child, most of the time, it's just people who think something they did worked for them, so it will necessarily work for everybody too. Which is usually wrong.
Now I've finished writing this article I realize there are certainly many articles more complete on the subject. So, let's consider this article as a filler episode for the blog.


The 'Multi tag filter' is available in Turbo versions 2.1 and up. If you are on an older theme version, please update your theme!
New in TURBO v2.1 is the ability to add a multi-tag filter in the sidebar of your collection pages! You'll just need to follow the steps below to set it up.
1. You will first need to go into your 'Products' panel and add the tags you want to use for filtering. Make sure you add tags to all products that you want filtered, no matter what collection(s) they belong to. Keep track of all these tags, as you'll need to write them all down in the next step.
- You can display a small image file (like a color swatch or icon) next to each tag name, by checking the box "Display color swatches"
Note that for color swatches to appear, they must have a .png file of the exact same name as the tag associated with it, and saved in your shop's Assets folder; otherwise, the default web color associated with your color name (if it exists) will be used instead. To add in your own custom color swatches, please check out this article.
5. When a shopper clicks on one of the tag names, all other tags in that category will be hidden and a 'clear' link will appear. Clicking this will clear the filter and go back to showing all tags associated with that category. You can change the wording of this link in the theme's Language Editor (Collection tab).
Once you've added in the filters you need, click save, and you now have a multi-tag filter in your sidebar!
At this time, there is no way for customers to filter by more than one tag within the same group. For example, a customer could not filter by both "Green" and "Blue" in the "Color" group, but can filter between, for example, "Green" and "Medium," assuming "Medium" is in a different group.
Tag filtering can only be used to show products in the collection currently being viewed. It does not filter across other collections or the entire store.
You cannot have multiple instances of the same filter tags. For example, you can not have a tag named "New" both under a "Category" filter, and "Product" filter (this will cause the filter not to clear properly).

How Daily.co's Intercom app helped them drive discovery and engagement
Kwindla Kramer
Co-founder, Daily.co
@kwindla
The abundance of software tools on offer today brings with it a whole host of challenges. For product builders, it's never been harder to get discovered in such a crowded marketplace.
For users, having your workflows and data spread across multiple siloed tools in many different places brings unnecessary complexity to day-to-day work.
It's no wonder that companies like Slack, Salesforce and Intercom have invested in an ecosystem made up of smart people building things in one place, allowing customers and developers to adapt and create the tools they use to work better for them.
In this guest post, Kwindla Kramer of Daily.co, a one-click video calling provider, explains how they built a new app for the Intercom App Store to give sales and support teams instant video calls in the Intercom Messenger.
For the past few years, our team at Daily.co have been working hard to empower sales and support teams to ace every customer interaction by building one-click video calling. No complex sign up forms, no download experience. Users just click once, and start a video call right away.
So when Intercom announced their new app store with the ability to build your own Messenger apps, we saw it as the perfect opportunity to open up an entirely new distribution channel and give sales and support teams video calls in one, easy-to-access location – the Messenger. No more super long messages that take forever to write. Just one click and you would be able to deliver precise, fast and human communication to your customers and prospects.
Additionally, Intercom has a large audience, some of who know us, some of who don't. With this app, we could access a new audience to make them aware of Daily.co and the value of our service, and ensure that's embedded within a service they already know.
Our first step towards building an app was to explore the Messenger APIs and developer documentation. Based on the info provided, we knew we'd be able to build a simple Messenger integration where the video call opens in a new web browser tab. But we knew this wasn't the best experience we could build, based on user feedback we had received. When video calls open in a separate tab, users often waste time switching between tabs, copying and pasting links, or worst of all, losing out on sales and support opportunities.
If we truly wanted to make video calls as simple as possible for our users, we wanted to build an even deeper integration – one that would actually embed the video chat right inside the Messenger. So why not put the live video call in the same little piece of well-designed, familiar real estate sales and support teams are using all day every day?
The flexibility of the Intercom platform
So we set out to build a quick proof of concept. At this stage, our video call in the Messenger idea was still a pipedream. We just thought it would be great to show the Intercom R&D team what the long-term possibilities might be for the integration of real-time video and screen sharing into Messenger.
But turning our idea from proof of concept to reality turned out to be a lot easier than anticipated.
From the very first conversation with the Intercom team, it was clear that the Intercom platform had the capabilities (powerful APIs, free developer workspaces, etc) we needed and building our ideal app would be a fast and straightforward process. The Intercom team were accessible, took the time to understand what we were trying to do and actually shipped additions to the Messenger framework to support our needs, faster than we could take advantage of the changes. As a startup with some fairly complicated APIs to support ourselves, we know this type of support doesn't come easy, so we were thrilled to have such a productive (and efficient) back-and-forth.
As we were building a more high-fidelity version of the app, the Messenger developer environment meant that we could test the tool internally while also iterating on what we built. This was paramount to building the initial Daily.co app for Messenger and really helped to speed up our cadence. The ability to build quickly and experiment aligns with our own approach to building product – getting to market rapidly, learning and iterating.
From pipedream to reality
The end result is that you can now invite anyone you are chatting within the Intercom Messenger to join a video call, either inside the Messenger window or in a new browser tab. No account needed, no downloads. If the person prefers to call you on the phone, they can use a dial-in number (the dial-in audio is routed into the video call). You can screen share.

FEATURE FILMS & DOCUMENTARIES
Accidental Activist: One couples Journey to the U.S. Supreme Court/ U.S.A. (Director and Screenwriter Mandi Wright) - Jayne Rowse and April DeBoer were simply looking to overturn the law that would allow them to adopt their children. But on the recommendation of a federal judge, the Hazel Park couple's lawyers launched a frontal assault on the legal barrier that prevents them from jointly adopting — Michigan's constitutional amendment that prohibits same-sex couples from marrying. The case, which Free Press photographer/videographer Mandi Wright has been following from the outset, became the accelerant that would result in the Supreme Court legalizing same-sex marriage across the country in June 2015.
Two Soft Things, Two Hard Things / Canada (Director and Screenwriter Michael Yerxa and Mark Kenneth Woods) - As a small group in Nunavut, Canada prepare for a seminal LGBTQ Pride celebration in the Arctic, the film explores how colonization and religion have shamed and erased traditional Inuit beliefs about sexuality and family structure and how, 60 years later, a new generation of Inuit are actively 'unshaming' their past.
From Selma to Stonewall: Are we there yet? / U.S.A. (Director Marilyn Bennett) - A black, straight preacher and a white, lesbian activist form an unusual bond as they seek to find the intersection between the Black Civil Rights and the LGBTQ Equality movements of today.
The Lavender Scare / U.S.A. (Director Josh Howard) - With the United States gripped in the panic of the Cold War, President Dwight D. Eisenhower deems homosexuals to be "security risks" and orders the immediate firing of any government employee discovered to be gay or lesbian. It triggers a vicious witch hunt that lasts for forty years and ruins thousands of lives, while thrusting an unlikely hero into the forefront of what would become the modern LGBT rights movement.
Landscapes / France (Vincent Fournier) - Four humble ladyboys working in the rubber tree forests at night, in the rice fields during the day, looking for a way to survive, exist and have the others accept them with their difference.
The Pursuit: 50 years in the Fight for LGBT Rights / U.S.A. (Director Ilana Trachtman) - The Pursuit is a reflection on the fight for LGBT rights, more than 50 years since protesters gathered in front of Independence Hall and called for an end to discrimination against homosexuals. Contrasting stories from LGBT experiences past and present, a complex and vibrant picture emerges that demonstrates both how far the community has come and how far there is left to go.
It's Not Just Me / Australia (Director Jonathan Messer) - This film explores the lives of four Australian transgender men. We meet two of them on the first day of their gender transition as they begin their hormone treatments. The film explores the various aspects of gender transition, including the 'transitions' that those around them have to make as well. Bathrooms, relationships, family and employment are all explored and the stories are told in different creative narrative ways such as; ethnographic and 'fly on the wall' as well as 'question and answer'.
Sin Verguenza / U.S.A. (Director Paco Farias) - Drama ensues when a member of the Salazar family is faced with HIV. The big question is, who has it and what does it mean to everyone around this person.
Public Intimacy / Brazil (Director Luciana Canton Screenwriters Alex Mountfort, Andreia Ferriello, Antonio Jorge Dantas, Biah Carfig, Bruna Lessa, Henrique Guimaraes, Jamile Tasso, Julio Silveril, Lucas Oranmian, Maira Sera, Rod Jubelini, Talita Contipelli, Yuri Bathista) - Public Intimacy is a movie about how we deal with sexuality and love on public and private levels. The four stories of 'Public Intimacy' deal with urgent and profound themes, like homofobia, prostitution, transsexuality and madness. 'Public Intimacy' proposes a cinema that is focused on its characters. They are an investigation that aim the core of our problems and their wish is to humanize the spectator. If movies have this power, to humanize, than they are already changing the world.

Friend, sister, supporter... and wonderful human being
By Sanjoy Hazarika
Shahnaz Anklesaria Aiyar was a formidable journalist. More importantly, she was an incredible human being, says Sanjoy Hazarika.
Shahnaz Anklesaria Aiyar, who passed away in Washington, DC on July 4, was a close friend and a wonderful person who touched everyone she met with her joyfulness and kindness. She was one of those rare people in the world -- a good human being.
Image: Shahnaz (looking into the camera) and Swaminthan Anklesaria Aiyar in Tinsukia, Assam.
Her mother, Mrs A as many of us called her, was a warm presence in the life of her only child and took huge pride in her work and achievements. I had known Shahnaz for nearly 40 years, from her days in Bombay when she and the team at Himmat Weekly, based out of Bombay and led by Kalpana Sharma, fought censorship and the authoritarian state of the internal Emergency.
Many knew her better and I can only share the experiences and stories which resonate with me.
During those days of the Emergency, we had to deal with the censor's annoying blue pen, threats to shut down the magazine and endless challenges to freedom of all kinds, including media freedom. It was such a different world when compared to the freedom that today's shouting anchors and broadsheet editors take for granted.
We followed her fine career in journalism. She moved to Delhi, joined The Statesman where her work won awards and recognition for its quality, campaigning style and incisiveness, free of the verbiage that drapes the work of our present day pundits of print and broadcast.
She worked for India Today and The Indian Express and, in those years, with Kalpana and Neerja Chowdhury, formed a formidable set of pioneering and indomitable journalists who just happened to be women. They led investigative reporting, dug out the truth about human bondage and rights violations in India.
After marriage to Swaminathan S Aiyar, the brilliant columnist and an editor at The Times Of India group, they moved to Washington where Swami worked with the World Bank. It was a city she came to love. Apart from other things, Swami added her surname to his already formidably long name. On their return to Bombay, they had a son, Rustam, and after a few years in India, they went back to DC.
I was always the butt of the happy joke of how Swami got me run out in a cricket match. Of course, we were much younger at the time. And Shahnaz would say, "Swami, tell, tell that story ... The young man who couldn't run fast enough," and burst into peals of her booming laughter. You couldn't but laugh along with her and she never bought my suggestion that I got out in the process of trying to save Swami from that fate. "Rubbish," she would say, her eyes twinkling.
I visited and stayed with them when they shifted to Washington, in the apartment on MacArthur Drive and in then the house on Arizona Avenue. We went for long walks in the neighbourhood that was part of the quiet, genteel uptown DC.
She was constantly creating new spaces in their home for their amazing collection of sculptures and handicrafts from across the world. She loved entertaining people and lavished love and companionship on her friends; she'd cook large and delicious meals during those visits and order, "Young man, eat up."
I was always "kiddo" and "young man" to her and she lavished much love on my daughter, Meghna, especially after my wife, Minal, passed away (on April 3, 2009).
Shahnaz had been to Minal's home in Bombay and to mine in Shillong and was much admired by our relatives. She found in Minal a kindred spirit, a practical Gujarati who had no time for the pretensions of Delhi society, its power brokers or an overly busy husband.
When Minal passed away, Shahnaz called from Washington and consoled me, "My dear Sanjoy, hang in there, just hang in there. We are all with you."
Meghna and Rustam are good friends and in touch during this difficult situation.
Deeply knowledgeable about learning disabilities, she taught in Washington at a school for children with special needs.
No matter how busy, she always had time for people. She would pick visitors from the Metro subway stop, take them shopping and point out the wonderful chrysanthemums which bloomed in the fall. And she rarely let anyone know of her relentless battle against cancer and the years of treatment.
But there is something that not many outside their family and circle of close friends know: Shahnaz and Swami have a very special link with Assam and the health work we do on the Brahmaputra with the boat clinics (external link), reaching the poor and marginalised with health care in Assam, the state with the worst maternal mortality ratio in India.
They sponsored the construction of several boats and, in 2008, came to inaugurate the one which is running in Tinsukia, the SB Swaminathan. But the first boat from their generosity was SB Shahnaz, which, like the person who gave it its name, was graceful, beauteous and supportive.
I recall Swami speaking at the event, on the sand banks of the Brahmaputra, before we lit the diya and broke the coconut on the boat, "In a strange way, the Aiyar name, from another end of India, will travel on and be connected to the waters of the Brahmaputra long after we are gone."
Shahnaz, the boat, has been damaged extensively but we are determined to rebuild it -- that was a decision taken some time back and reaffirmed on July 6, as across Assam, in 15 boat clinics, in the offices of our organisation, at the stroke of 11 am, doctors, nurses, organisers, boat crew and staff rose to observe a minute's silence to honour her and listened to something I had written.
The boat's reconstruction to take health care to the needy and impoverished with a trained team will be a fitting memory to one who gave so much to so many, despite her long fight against cancer.
I am asking my team to raise funds for it, so that work can begin soon and the Shahnaz travels the waves of the Brahmaputra again. It will give Swami some solace in his terrible loss for, at the end of it all, we are all alone.
Shahnaz, you were the sister I never had. You have enriched us all. Today, there is a gap of goodness, fragrance and delighted laughter in our lives.

Why Did the Roman Republic Collapse?
Why Did the Roman Republic Collapse? Keven Johnson Professor L. Reams History-1 70006 10 December 2012 Why Did the Roman Republic Collapse? The Roman republic was founded following the deposition of the last king of Rome. It was said that the Romans, tired of the tyranny of a monarchy, vowed that a king would never again rule Rome. This occurred sometime around 509 BC, and led to the creation of a new form of government called a republic.1 However, as the centuries passed, the republican dream slowly began to fade. Quite obviously, many things happened in the world of Rome that led to the eventual collapse of the Roman Republic. At around 133 BC, Rome was a republic. But less than a hundred years later, an emperor ruled it.1 An imperial system as a form of government was very different from the system that was envisioned by the Romans when they deposed the last king near the end of the 6th century BC. An imperial system was against everything Romans stood for. Instead of freedom and democracy, it oppresses and exerts arbitrary force.1 Before the fall of the Republic, the power rested with the people. The state was ruled by magistrates who themselves were elected by the people. So, although the rich dominated the political sphere, at the root of it all, those who held the real power were actually elected by the people. The magistrates made laws and decided the most important decisions affecting the state. When Emperor Augustus died, popular elections were outdated. It was expected instead that the imperial household would produce the successor to Roman power. The power had moved from the hands of the people, to imperial rulers, their households, and their heirs. This dramatic change was the culmination of civil strife and open warfare that created the conditions for powerful men to dominate the state, and to exclude the will and
The Fall of the Roman Empire in Comparison to the Recent Decline of the Us
Global Studies I & II The fall of the Roman Empire and the decline of the United States The traditional date given for the fall of the Roman Empire in the west is A.D. 476. The process for the fall of the Roman Empire took many centuries to unfold. There is no one cause for the fall of the empire, but everyone has there opinions on what caused such a great empire to fall. Some people think the empire fell because of its leaders becoming far too cocky and didn't pay attention to the necessary things needed to keep an empire running strong, while others blame the cause on religion and say things like "god did it" or "god wanted it to happen". Whatever the cause of the fallen Empire of Rome, many people have been comparing it to the recent decline of the US on the world stage, which also has many of its own causes.
Julius Caesar – a Bad Leader
Julius Caesar, a Roman general and statesman, served on the First Triumvirate that ruled the Roman Republic during 60 B.C. Although he was popular among the common people and also a great and outstanding military commander, he wasn't a good leader to govern Rome due to his ambition and inner-weakness. One of the main reasons that Julius Caesar was not a good leader was his ambition. He was a corrupted tyrant, lusting for power. Becoming a governor in his region of Rome wasn't good enough, he wanted to be crowned king and serve as a dictator for life, something that Rome didn't have for five hundred years.
Marcus Caesar Research Paper
2514 Words | 11 Pages
WHY DID CAESAR EMBARK ON CIVILWAR? Caesar found it necessary to cross the Rubicon for many reasons, most of all due to the new regulations set by Pompey in Rome. During Caesar_s campaign in Gaul, Pompey was the most powerful man in the government, and he intended to keep it that way. Lucan states, " Caesar could no longer endure a superior, nor Pompey an equal.' After Crassus died, the triumvirate between these three men broke down and Pompey and Caesar became rivals. In 52 BC, Pompey became sole-consul, and passed legislations which affected Caesar_s position in power.

How Did The Great Powers Spell The End Of Empires
The End of Empires by Brandon Lim Empires are made of colonies from other countries; and are ruled by a single monarch that may differ in title, for example, the Tsar in Russia, King in England and Kaiser in German. As the twentieth century loomed, the world was dominated by the Great Powers .These nations were Great Britain, Russia, Germany, France and Austria- Hungary and had extensive possessions away from their sovereign state. It was becoming apparent that if the dissolution of the Great Empires were to happen, something big must take place. World War One would spell the end of empires but what led up to the terrible war is just as important. Key events include the Franco- Russian War, alliance systems and the assassination of Franz
Summary Of Tom Holland's 'Rubicon'
Holland's book's key point is the conflict between Sulla and Marius. These men were Roman politicians with very different backgrounds and personalities. Each was the seeking the same political goal, so they competed to the point of war. At first they manipulated the people, then they tried to find loop holes in the political system. And finally they started a civil war in which Sulla came out on top.

Why Did Rome Change From A Monarchy To A Republic
CLA 203 9/11/13 Homework-( Handout #1) 10. How/why did Rome change from a monarchy to a republic and what changed in the organization of the city? Rome changed from a monarchy to a republic because after many years of harsh rule by kings and of how terrible Tarquinius and his son Sextus did, the people wanted more of a role in government. The last king Lucius Tarquinius Priscus ruled as a tyrant something that was be opposed by many Romans. The organization of the city was changed from having kings to elected officials.
How Did Julius Caesar Build The Roman Empire
To start, the Roman Empire had a government that was designed for a city-state. Perhaps they did not realize that they were way mire than that. An empire cannot stand with that type of government and Rome proved that. Also, the Eastern part of Europe began taking power from the West. This led to a very corrupt government with many different views.
How Did Julius Caesar Fall To An Empire
This union insured all three men great standing and power within Rome, and granted them complete authority in Senate. The avarice of the trio would prove limiting, however, as their egos destroyed their standing with one another. Crassus' death in 53 BC at the hands of the Parthians effectively undermined the alliance. Shortly thereafter, Pompey aligned himself with an archconservative faction of the Senate, diametrically opposed to Caesar. This shift in alliance resulted in what is known as Caesar's civil war, obviously leading to a Caesarian victory.
