ESTELLE YOMBA CAREER PROFILE SHOWCASE
Posted on July 8, 2019 July 8, 2019 by Kum Eric Tso
Money Master Tutorials is committed to showcasing the best profiles in each industry in Cameroon. Today, we bring to you the profile of someone who needs little or no introduction in the IT sector in Cameroon.
ESTELLE YOMBA CAREER PROFILE
Estelle Yomba is the Founder of Seven Advanced Academy, a Silicon Valley blended First-class Computer Engineering Training Institute based in Douala, Cameroon.
Estelle Yomba currently resides in the United States where she is serving as Senior Technical Program Manager for Google.
Before assuming the top job at Google, she had served as a Software engineer from 2015 and worked on the world's favorite internet browser Google Chrome.
In 2013, Estelle Yomba was hired by eBay Inc as a Software engineer where she multitasked as a mobile programmer
Before moving to the United States, she was hired by Skylite Communications in 2012 while working as an intern at Rack Africa in Ghana. She worked for one year as a software engineer at Skylite Communications in Silicon Valley before being discovered by eBay Inc.
After getting her Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science with First Class Honors from Regent University College of Science and Technology in Ghana, ambitious Estelle later took an adventure into Networking at the Koffi Anan Institute
"In February 2012 I was called for an internship with Vodaphone in Ghana. It was hard on me as a foreign student doing an internship with no allowance. So, the first day I went straight to the Office of the boss of the company and pleaded I needed some cash for my taxi. The woman was like 'what! Do you really want to work? I said…yes Ma, in fact, I want to work; I don't even want an internship, I'm ready for a test"
So without warning the woman called her friend who had a Datacenter and said; 'this is my child Estelle, she wants to work, I want you to hire her' that is how I found myself in Rack Africa as a paid intern" says the daring entrepreneur
It is within this backdrop of academic, travel and professional experience that the dream of a World-Class IT training institute set into the life of the rare fine woman product in IT Estelle Yomba.
She did not think like others investing abroad. Haven gotten the inflammable vision to train young people with world-class skills in IT, the illustrious career woman quickly thought of her poor country Cameroon.
"My dream is to use Seven Advanced Academy to build a community of Silicon Valley experts first in my country Cameroon and then Africa. The community of first-class Tech engineers will in no time pull in Top Multinationals to come and invest in our country, that is basically what is lacking for now". She Emphasized
Estelle Yomba is among the very few heavy-weight professionals in the woman in Tech Category in Cameroon
She did her primary and secondary education in Nkongsamba and Lycee de Manengoumba respectively. After getting her BAC "C" in Lycee Cite de Palmiers in Douala she became the first student among the pioneer batch to be enrolled into the PK Fokam Institute of Excellence in Yaoundé to study computer science in 2007.
The school fees at the time were exorbitant in a year when Cameroon was undergoing economic crisis and 8political uprising. Thanks to her intelligence young and determined Estelle who had already fallen in love with programming broke academic records at the PK Fokam Institute of Excellence sweeping along all final year scholarships and that is how she tactically avoided paying school fees.
As the best graduating student but broke; she had to continue further studies abroad. That is how she found herself in Ghana and later Silicon Valley through Divine intervention.
The gentle-hearted career woman is happily married with a son to Franky Yomba who is the Co-Founder of Seven Advanced Academy and currently works as a Mechanical Engineer at the state Utility Company PGE in the Bay Area, California.
The soft-spoken 30-year-old entrepreneur says she likes cooking and arranging flowers.

We walked around the bluffs, got a little lost, were a little concerned for the safety of the drunken party boaters that kept whizzing back and forth, and enjoyed the last little bits of summer.
Thanks for the shoot, guys!

Coronavirus postpones ballers
March 10, 2020 / Clackamas Print / Comments Off on Coronavirus postpones ballers
Story by Nick Schwada
On Thursday, March 5, Everett Community College closed its campus due to coronavirus concerns, effectively postponing the NWAC Basketball Championship games that were in progress that afternoon.
The 16-team men's and women's tournament has been relocated to Clackamas and Linn-Benton community colleges. The first two rounds of the women's tournament will be held at Linn-Benton in Albany on Thursday, March 12, and Friday, March 13. The semifinals and finals will then move to CCC Saturday and Sunday. All four days of the men's tournament will be held at CCC.
The originally scheduled tournament came to a sudden close Thursday when EvCC received word of a potential Coronavirus threat.
Halfway through the third game of the tournament, teams were notified that the school was shutting down the campus to be cleaned. Shortly after closing, the school learned that a student tested positive for COVID-19, according to Public Health – Seattle & King County.
In a post found on their website, Everett officials wrote, "This afternoon we were contacted by the Snohomish Health District who told us that the EvCC student who tested positive for COVID-19 poses little to no risk to EvCC students, faculty, and staff."
The college continued with, "The student was last on campus on Feb. 27, and did not have symptoms at that time. This virus spreads with close contact (within six feet for a prolonged period of time) and is unlikely to spread without symptoms, according to a Snohomish Health District epidemiologist."
For the teams competing for a championship, this sudden cancellation came as a disappointment. "Originally we were all disappointed and sad not to be able to play in the championships that should've started (Saturday) morning," Men's head coach Clif Wegner said via email. "We will continue to ultimately focus on the main immediate goal which is to be healthy and playing our best basketball at this point in the season."
Freshman forward K'wan Carter echoed the same sentiment, "It's a bittersweet moment really. Most of us (are) pretty upset cause of the anticipation," K'wan said via Instagram. "It's been a long couple of days, but on the positive side, it gives us more time to prepare for the tournament."
The women's team, however, has looked at the postponement in a positive light. "Since the tournament was postponed after 3 teams already played their first round games, we won't have to play at 10pm anymore! Preparing to play that late is so hard," explained second-year guard Paige Downer via text. "Playing at Everett is pretty difficult. Their balls and the rims are so bouncy; it makes shooting a struggle."
Cougar athletes were excited to host the NWAC Championship games. "Having our home crowd would be incredible! Nothing better than playing a huge game at home with our fans!" Downer said via text. "I think having our fans there would get us even more hyped and ready to go! We're all very excited if we get another opportunity to play at home. For the sophomores especially, we would love to host the semis and finals because we'd potentially get to play another game at home!"
"We know our hoops like the back of our hands. Nothing is better than home court advantage. Randall Hall can get pretty packed, and the atmosphere is great," Carter echoed via Instagram.
As the schedule is being determined, Cougar athletes are confident and focused heading into the tournament. "I feel we are the best team there," Carter said via Instagram. "There is great competition we will be facing, but I know we can win it all, especially with the guidance of our great coaching staff and my teammates."
"I am extremely excited for my first championship run with this team. There's no other team I'd rather be on. We have all worked so hard to get to this point, so we're all really excited for the upcoming tournament," freshman guard Brooke Bullock said via text.
The Clackamas Print will update this story, and fans can visit nwacsports.org for more information. And please, for the love of God, wash your hands.

This year marked the 10th Anniversary of the ICG Summer Schools in Montpellier, France. The lectures were held in our normal venue at the University of Montpellier but the surroundings were unrecognisable because of extensive building work throughout much of the campus. Finding a route from the University accommodation to the lecture rooms on the first morning was far from straightforward even for old timers on the course and to add to the confusion it changed throughout the day to allow for the movement of heavy building equipment across the site. Fortunately, Prof Hehlen turned up on time to guide participants through the maze of fencing. A few though arrived late for the school because of transport upheavals the previous day in Paris following strike action; sadly they were delayed for a second time by the building work in Montpellier!
The first day was run as a single session for both the basic science stream and for those who had come to learn about bio and pharma glasses. 40 students were present, of whom a quarter where primarily registered for the bio stream. The temperatures outside were high, around 33C for most of the week, but powerful air conditioning inside the lecture rooms kept everyone awake. In the afternoon the students were each allocated a 3 minute slot to introduce themselves and explain their research interests. They showed admirable time-keeping skills and we were able to start the last lecture of the day on time. This talk given by Prof Delia Brauer gave everyone the opportunity to learn of the latest research in biomaterials. A welcome reception followed.
Over the next three days the class divided into two groups following the traditional Glass Science courses used for the previous 9 years and a stream on biomaterials that included the use of glasses to repair body parts, such as teeth and bones and was followed by an in-depth discussion of the design of glass containers for specialist products in the pharmaceutical industry. The chemical durability of glasses formed an important theme carried over from the first day into these specialist lectures.
Projects were allocated on the second afternoon to the students in groups of five, with the deliberate aim of mixing people with different backgrounds and expertise. For one hour on each of Wednesday and Thursday afternoons small group tutorials were held to explore topics introduced earlier in greater depth and more interactively. The tutorials proved particularly popular this year and there was significant demand for more such interactive sessions and slightly fewer formal lectures.
On the final morning everyone came together again for topics that introduced the applications of science in an industrial context. These helped to indicate the kinds of career paths that might be available. Unfortunately one speaker had been taken ill overnight but this provided an opportunity to distribute copies of the text book created over the previous 8 months in celebration of our Anniversary. Each participant was given one and there was considerable enthusiasm from the students to collect the signatures of the authors present.
In the afternoon the students took the floor to present the conclusions of their project work. Eight groups spoke on topics that covered a wide range of subjects. The winning group, consisting of Petr Chrast, Susanta Sengupta, Julia Weiβhuhn, Bulat Sydykov and Marcela Arango Ospina; their topic was: 'Is it accurate to describe the silica rich exoskeleton of certain deep sea creatures as glassy? Can an understanding of the way biological processes naturally produce complex structures based on glassy materials help us to develop new materials?' Before the awards were announced the party atmosphere to celebrate our 10th Anniversary began. Profs Conradt and Parker played two piano duets as part of the entertainment and one of the students had brought with him a banjo which he used to lead some community singing.
During this session we were joined by a group from Wuhan University who wanted to see how the Montpellier Schools compared with the more recently developed Winter Schools in Wuhan. A representative of Prof Peng Shou, Prof Pan also gave a talk on the Chinese Glass Industry to conclude the morning session.
At the end of the day we had our end of school party at our normal venue of Trinque Fougasse, a short distance away. Here glasses and stomachs were filled frequently with wine and plates of Tapas style food. Conversation too flowed until late into the evening until we finally parted until the same time again next year.
Next year's summer school will be from 8-12th July again in Montpellier and before that we have a Winter School in Wuhan (5-9th November 2018). More information about both is on the ICG Web site (icglass.org).
Finally we wish to thank our speakers all of whom give their time without payment; the course could not run without their contribution. The speakers on the Basic Science course were in order of presentation: J Parker, R Conradt, D Brauer, R Vacher, P Florian, H Inoue, J Deubener, J C Sangleboeuf, A Takada, B Hehlen, M Choudhary, R Hand, Prof Pan, and on the Biomaterials options: R Hill, L Hupa, A Boccaccini, M Guglielmi and D Zuccato.

Step Four - Add in a year range to further hone in on a specific ancestor. This doesn't have to be exact.
Step Five - Take advantage of filters to order results by best match, oldest, and newest. This can help you cut through any close match entries that don't match the men and women within your family tree.
Tips for a Successful State Gazette of North Carolina Archive Search
When dealing with common names, it can be difficult to find the right person amidst 330 years of U.S. history. Thankfully, there are multiple ways in which you can avoid adding people to your family tree who have no relation to you.
The problem lies within the way records were taken before modern recordkeeping standards were introduced. A newspaper editor likely recorded information from oral sources; therefore, they may have misspelled a name or made a blatant factual error.
Here are some more advanced tips for making sure you find the right ancestors via State Gazette of North Carolina historical data:
Search for a relative by their initials. It was common practice for people to be recorded officially by the initials of their first and middle names.
Female relatives were often recorded via their husband's name. Rather than searching for a female ancestor's name, try searching for their husband's name instead.
Use common misspellings. One wrong initial could mean you miss that forgotten family member.
It can be time-consuming but incredibly exciting to come across family members you'd never heard of before.
The State Gazette of North Carolina archive can add some color to the names. Discover your story. Be amazed at what you find.

Dorothy Golden Harrison
Dorothy Golden Harrison made history in 2001 as the Chief Administration Officer for Charleston Water System, the first female and African American Officer in Charleston Water's 94-year history. At an early age, she knew that her life would be spent in service to others, and that has been the foundation of Harrison's professional and civic life.
During her 26 years in the banking industry, Harrison led the development of strategies to make loans and non-traditional banking services accessible to many Midlands and Lowcountry minority professionals, churches and small businesses. She was among the first African American Commercial Loan Officers and Vice Presidents in the state and was one of the first bankers in South Carolina to serve a dual role as a licensed investment broker and commercial banker.
Harrison was recently appointed to the College of Charleston's Foundation Board and the President's Advisory Council. She is the founding President of Teachers' Supply Closet, past president of the Charleston Chapter of the Links, Inc. and Trident Urban League. Harrison has also served on the boards of the Trident United Way, YWCA, Charleston Chamber of Commerce and the Coastal Community Foundation.
Her numerous awards and recognition for community service and business excellence include the Women Opening Doors award in 1991, the Key to the City of Columbia in 1992 and the Lieutenant Governor's Award for Exceptional Service to the State of South Carolina in 1994.
She and her husband, the Rev. Jerry Harrison Sr., are the parents of two children, Tsala and Hasani (Latrice) and two granddaughters, Amari and Yazmin Harrison.

Tom Jones (Sir Thomas Jones Woodward OBE) was born in Trefforest. His career as a pop singer took off in the 1960s, and he has sold over 100 million records and amassed a fortune. He has spent years living in LA, but plans to return home to Britain - perhaps he already has.
Bryn Terfel Jones CBE was born in Pant Glas. A bass-baritone, he has become world famous performing opera. Like Tom Jones, Terfel has sung popular music and he is married to his childhood sweetheart, but his home has always been in Wales.
Terfel speaks Welsh - lovely - you'll hear it in the song. He is patron of a charity for children with cerebral palsy and helped to pay for the railway station in his home town of Bontnewydd.

Keeping the Spirit of Innovation Alive
Sophomores turn enthusiasm for research into year-long extracurricular project funded by CIS Microgrants Program
Amy Mednick
Squeezing in time between classes and convening late at night in a lab at the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science (CIS), a group of sophomores is harnessing their powers of innovation, creativity, and independence to design and build a volumetric display system in time for Imagine RIT. These six budding scientists got the bug to "do" science during their Freshman Imaging Project class and resolved to extend the research and their collaboration into their sophomore year. The team—in cooperation with six software engineering students—will present a working prototype of their volumetric display of three-dimensional data at this year's festival on May 4.
Entering the lab inhabited by the student-led team, the creative energy is palpable. Laptops and papers tile the large, round table, the whiteboard is filled with calculations, and a "12 days" countdown to Imagine RIT is posted in the corner of the board. Equipment abounds and a tall cart houses the volumetric display designed to project an image that is truly three dimensional. When the students begin to talk, they obviously know each other well, respecting others' voices even as they finish each other's sentences and piggy-back on ideas. "We work really well as a group together and I think this is why we did this," says Brooke Saffren, of Doylestown, PA, who is a biomedical science major and imaging science minor.
"We all share the same direction," adds Doug Scott Peck, an imaging science major, from Syracuse. "Ultimately, we all have the same goal and respect each other's opinion. That mentality was formed in the freshman imaging project."
During the yearlong freshman project, students are challenged to work collaboratively, in a student-centered, lab-based environment, to research, design, and build a functional imaging system in time to exhibit at Imagine RIT. At key points during the year, the team presents their plans and progress to a group of faculty evaluators from across campus and at the end of the year the students unveil the finished system at Imagine RIT. The project, which invariably creates a strong bond between the students, replicates the professional interactions and assignments that they might face in future careers.
"You can be super smart in academia, but if you can't work with a group of people and take constructive criticism and give constructive criticism, then you can't apply that knowledge in a coherent way," says Cicely DiPaulo, an imaging science student from Pittsford, NY.
Last year, Freshman Imaging Project coordinators, CIS Associate Director Joe Pow and Dr. Maria Helguera, professor of imaging science, tasked students with responding to a need for an imaging system that would allow physicians to assess whether individual patients would respond well to intubation. Intubation involves inserting a ventilation tube into the patient's mouth and trachea during general anesthesia. "We had to build a system that would attempt to eliminate physician error. Before, whether or not someone could be intubated was done by doctor's determination," says Megan Iafrati, an imaging science student, of Greece, NY.
University of Rochester physician Dr. Jacek Wojtczak and postdoctoral researcher Dr. Bo Hu asked the class to create an imaging system that could use quantitative measurements of a person's facial features to assess a patient's susceptibility to intubation. The team of students developed a system that would project black and white striped patterns of different widths onto a patient's face. They then developed software that would reconstruct a three-dimensional image—what the students described as a "point cloud"— from the observed deformation of the patterns. The point cloud could then be used to generate a lifelike 3D image of the subject.
"At Imagine RIT last year, I spoke with a woman who couldn't be intubated. She had a really bad experience, so she was excited that we were doing this project," Iafrati says.
"Our favorite thing about this project was that as freshman coming right out of high school, we were given the responsibility to do a real project helping physicians with something that they actually need," DiPaulo says.
At the time, DiPaulo felt that she did not want the experience to end, and she decided to do something about it.
DiPaulo approached some of her fellow students about the idea of continuing the experience in their sophomore year. Saffren, Iafrati, Peck, imaging science student Rose Rustowiscz, and Sean Cooper, who is a Motion Picture Sciences major, all expressed interest in the project. Over the summer, the students attempted to set up the project as a class, which proved too complicated. At the last minute, the team applied for and received a $3,800 CIS microgrant to fund supplies. By November, CIS had provided a lab space and the project was underway. Later in the year, a group of software engineering students joined the team.
Rustowicz, from Cheektowaga, NY, says they were able to succeed with the freshman project even though they had little experience with research and development because they were not afraid to ask questions and seek guidance from faculty, staff and students. "We knew what we didn't know," she says.
The sophomores this year say they had a better sense of how to organize the project, including drawing up a schedule with specific milestones. Each week they meet for an hour and hold a two-hour workshop in addition to their independent work on the project.
"The team has demonstrated fantastic organization, their goals are quite clear and they have managed to stay on schedule," Professor Helguera says. "It is incredibly motivating, as an instructor, to walk in that room and watch them work, discuss, and above all, enjoy themselves."
After a year of effort and input from their engineering teammates, they now have a functioning system. In the students' words, the system is "composed of a projector that displays 96 unique images of the object being displayed onto a mirror set to spin at a certain number of rotations per second. The synchronization between these two factors is what allows the display to be proportionally correct as well as being able to be seen from different viewpoints."
The students are planning to give a presentation about their volumetric display at the Hawaii University International Education and Technology Conference this summer.
"When we started this, we weren't completely lost like we were last year. I can't put to words how helpful [the freshman imaging project was for us]. If you know generally how to attack a problem, then there is no reason it can't be solved," Cooper says.

Adding the voice of National Human Rights Institutions towards ending statelessness in Europe
Petra Baeyens, European Network of National Human Rights Institutions (ENNHRI)
/ 5 mins read
'A baby is born stateless every ten minutes'. This powerful image underlines UNHCR's 'I belong' campaign, launched in November 2014, and aimed at ending the devastating legal limbo of statelessness, which affects millions of people around the world. Sixty years after the adoption of the 1954 UN Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and half a century since the adoption of the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, at least ten million people worldwide are still stateless. In the European region at least 600,000 individuals are affected by statelessness. The European Network of National Human Rights Institutions ('ENNHRI') is deeply concerned by these numbers and calls upon European states, which have the primary responsibility, to take measures to eradicate statelessness as soon as possible.
Statelessness is essentially a human rights issue, resulting in a multiplication of human rights violations. The 1954 Convention defines statelessness as not being considered as a national by any state under the operation of its law. Often states deny stateless persons access to documentation to enter, or reside there lawfully. Not having any nationality or the necessary documentation hinders access to basic human rights, such as education and health services. It also increases vulnerability to poverty, discrimination, exploitation and marginalization. Ultimately, it encroaches on a person's human dignity.
In April 2014 the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe issued a resolution on the access to nationality. In the light of this resolution ENNHRI published a position paper with recommendations on the eradication of statelessness in Europe. In this paper, it urges European states to take steps to prevent and reduce statelessness and to provide stateless persons unlimited access to the human rights, as laid down in the 1954 Convention.
The recommendations are addressed at three distinct levels. It firstly addresses the European states, which have the primary responsibility to prevent and eradicate statelessness (see below). Secondly, it recommends the European Union to oversee the implementation of national strategies for Roma integration, which should include measures to prevent and combat statelessness among the Roma population. It urges the European Council to put identification and protection of stateless persons on its agenda. Thirdly, it calls upon the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe to accept and implement the Recommendation of the Parliamentary Assembly on the access to nationality and the implementation of the European Convention on Nationality.
In its reply, the Committee of Ministers stated that the legal framework is sufficient but that the implementation of existing standards in Member States should be promoted and supported. It further stated that the budgetary situation does not allow for the re-establishment of a committee of experts on nationality. Instead it invited the European Committee on Legal Co-operation for advice on the recommendation. Nevertheless, ENNHRI underlines the importance of the Committee of Ministers to take further steps, accept and implement the recommendations of the Parliamentary Assembly.
At the national level, ENNHRI makes four key recommendations:
1) Signature and ratification of the 1954 Convention, the 1961 Convention and the European Convention on Nationality: ENNHRI calls upon member states to sign and ratify the aforementioned conventions without restrictive reservations or declarations.
2) Stateless children: Nationality is part of a child's identity. However, it is estimated that half of all the stateless people are children. In order to combat statelessness among children, an effective and inclusive system of birth registration is crucial. Therefore, ENNHRI calls upon European States to adopt a range of measures to facilitate birth registration and acquisition of necessary documentation in order to prevent statelessness.
3) Access to rights - a determination procedure: The 1954 Convention provides protection and access to fundamental human rights for stateless persons. To assess who has a right to access these human rights, it is important for states to identify who is stateless. The lack of an effective determination procedure leads to insufficient protection of stateless persons and hinders their access to human rights. Consequently ENNHRI calls upon European States to establish a procedure with due process safeguards, and the issuance of a residence permit once statelessness is established.
4) Raising awareness: Effective legislation and policy procedures require knowledge of the phenomenon of statelessness, and awareness raising of the specific needs and requirements of stateless persons. ENNHRI recommends a national statelessness registry with disaggregated data, as well as continuous awareness raising and training of policy makers and state officials.
Along with its position paper, ENNHRI intends to contribute to the prevention and the eradication of statelessness, and offers the technical expertise of its network to create synergies at the national and regional level. As stated above, national states have the primary responsibility to address statelessness. In this regard, ENNHRI members continue to advocate for the human rights of stateless persons at the national level, drawing on each other's experiences and practices. Like UNHCR and many other actors in the field, ENNHRI believes that with sufficient political will, statelessness can be resolved.

If you are a Magento Commerce user, there is no need to install any third-party Magento 2 gift card extensions since the platform provides the corresponding functionality out of the box. In the following post, we shed light on how to use the new feature as well as run Magento 2 gift cards import and export processes that transfer not only gift card products but also all the related data.
The functionality of coupons and gift cards in Magento 2 is often similar. And while a coupon is applied to an order, a gift card is redeemed reducing a cart's order total. As a buyer, you get the corresponding option during checkout. Magento 2 commerce lets you enter a gift card code to apply an amount from the card to your purchase.
In a customer accounts, you can see the status and remaining balance of all gift cards. Also, note that Magento 2 lets you use both single and multiple gift cards to pay for the whole purchase or its parts.
As a Magento 2 administrator, you can view all gift card codes applied by customers. In the Admin section, open order to see the necessary information. Besides, you can find some additional control options there. For instance, it is possible to retrieve the code to place it on a physical gift card.
In case a gift card order is canceled or refunded, it is necessary to cancel the associated gift card account manually. Magento 2 provides the following two options: deletion or deactivation.
And there are two types of gift cards in Magento 2: virtual and physical. Let's say a few words about each one.
A standard virtual gift card is emailed to a recipient. As its buyer, you can add an optional message addressed to your special someone. Next, the card can be redeemed on any of the Luma family of websites. It is also necessary to mention that there is no expiration date! Any standard Magento 2 gift card doesn't bound its recipients to any terms!
And like virtual gift cards, physical ones don't have an expiration date. Let's take a look at some other features of Magento 2 Gift Cards.
As a customer, you can determine the value of a gift card. Corresponding options are available on a product page. By default, Magento 2 supports both a fixed price field and a list of price options. Thus, the appearance of a product page regarding gift card values depends on backend settings. Also, note that all amounts appear in a currency that you use on your e-commerce website.
Next, it is necessary to complete the gift card information. If you purchase a physical gift card, enter both Sender and Recipient names. In the case of virtual or combined gift cards, it is necessary to add both Sender and Recipient emails. If you are a registered logged in customer, the Sender Name and Sender Email fields are completed automatically. As mentioned above, it is also possible to enter a message to your recipient depending on configuration.
When you purchase a gift card, it appears as a line item in the cart with various details. For instance, you can see the name of the sender and recipient as well as the aforementioned message if applicable. Also, note that Magento 2 converts the amount associated with the gift card to the base currency of the store.
Next, a customer receives confirmation of the order. As a gift card purchaser, you can click the link in the confirmation and track the order from your account dashboard.
From a recipient side, virtual or combined gift cards are sent via email with the gift card code, name of the sender, and message, if there is one. If a buyer purchases more than one gift card, all of them are attached to a single email.
In case of physical gift cards, there are two options: a card can be shipped either directly to the recipient or the customer. As a customer, you can write a message on it and then personally deliver the gift card to the recipient.
A recipient applies a gift card to purchase an item in your store. He/she applies the gift card code during checkout, and the new amount appears in the order totals block subtracted from the grand total. Next, the full balance of each gift card is subtracted from the shopping cart total.
It is also possible to use multiple gift cards to pay for a purchase. Then, the amounts are applied in ascending order: a card with the smallest remaining balance is used first. The cards are utilized until a customer runs out of them or the grand total is zero. In the latter case, the last gift card account applied to the cart receives a partial deduction. If a card has not been applied to the cart, it does not receive a deduction.
That's how everything works for Magento 2 Commerce gift cards. Now, we can tell a few more words about their import and export.
Yes, importing or exporting gift cards with the help of the standard Magento tools is impossible. But you can rely on third-party modules. Unfortunately, it has always been challenging to find a reliable import/export extension that satisfies all business needs. Most tools are limited to the import or export process correspondingly. Some of them are developed to transfer a limited number of entities, while the others lack such features as mapping or automation. Considering all these and multiple other drawbacks we've decided to create our module.
Meet the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension – your number one time-saver for all import and export tasks that take place on your e-commerce store. The module allows moving most Magento 2 entities including gift cards.
Configure General Settings and proceed to the Import Settings section. Here, you can select gift cards among options of the Entity drop-down.
As for the Magento 2 gift cards export, the process is entirely the same. You can configure it under System -> Improved Import / Export -> Export Jobs.
As you can see, it is not a problem to import and export Magento 2 Commerce gift cards if you use the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 module. But what other features does the extension offer?
Below, we shed light on more enhancements that improve other processes related to data transfers. The Improved Import & Export Magento 2 plugin offers lots of advantages over both the standard solutions and other third-party extensions.
The module has already become a number one import/export tool for hundreds of merchants all over the world. If your e-commerce activities are related to integrations, data transfers, and synchronizations with external systems, you can dramatically enhance corresponding tasks with Improved Import & Export. Let's start our exploration with the automation of data transfers.
Our module provides two types of automated data transfers. Firstly, you can create schedules to launch the import and export processes within certain intervals. Secondly, it is possible to use event-based triggers to launch the import and export processes automatically after a specified action is done.
The Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension lets you create update schedules on the basis of cron. Automate data transfer by creating custom update schedules or selecting one of the predefined intervals. Note that every provided range can be customized after you choose it.
At the same time, the Improved Import & Export extension lets you simplify transfers of Magento 2 gift cards using profiles that have no schedules. Chances are, some of your integrations are random or asynchronous; at the same time, you may need to transfer gift cards only once, so no schedule is necessary. Instead, run related data transfers manually. And don't forget that it is possible to launch every scheduled profile asynchronously whenever you want.
Another way of automating data transfers as well as Magento 2 gift card import and export are represented by event-based triggers. The alternative method of moving data between your e-commerce store and external platforms offers improvements required to enable real-time updates, but you need to specify a proper trigger.
For instance, an event when a customer places an order can play this role. It launches a new export process that transfers order data (or any specified entity) to a selected platform. Thus, you get instant import or export procedures with the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension.
Note that it is possible to use both system and custom events as triggers. After a trigger is defined, specify conditions to increase the efficiency of updates. For further information, follow this link: How to Run Magento 2 Import or Export After Specific System Event or Process.
It is impossible to transfer information from external systems to Magento 2 directly. Furthermore, even Magento 1 to Magento 2 transfers are interrupted by the necessity to edit attributes that differ on each platform.
Thus, a seamless connection between your Magento 2 website and an external platform is hard to achieve unless you use the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension. Below, we shed light on how our module helps to solve the problem of different attribute standards.
The problem is not so scary as it looks if you use the Improved Import & Export extension. Our module offers multiple mapping presets designed to match external designations to the corresponding internal ones in a matter of seconds.
Select and apply a preset related to your integration, and the module will do all the work for you. Improved Import & Export analyzes the input data and matching all third-party attributes to the corresponding ones used within your Magento 2 database automatically.
The third column is untouched in the example above, but you can set hardcoded values there. These values will be specified to all items bound to attribute. For instance, with the "Default Value" column, you can import products from different store views directing all of them to a single one. You only need to specify a corresponding store view as a hardcoded value for the "_store" attribute.
The same approach can be applied to attribute values mapping. The Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension reduces headaches related to external designations even in such small aspects as attribute values. Although they usually don't prevent import processes, there are always some exceptions. At the same time, it is necessary to spend lots of time and effort editing third-party attribute values after the update is made.
With the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension, you get a user-friendly interface for matching them. Choose a third-party designation and specify the internal one in front of it. Repeat the process for every third-party value. For further information, follow this link: Attribute Values Mapping.
Combine rules and create conditions to increase their efficiency. Follow this link for further information: How to Modify Attribute Values During Import and Export in Magento 2.
It is even possible to create new categories on the fly if necessary. Select a parent category and specify the name of a new one. That's it! Both features are described in the following article: Category Mapping.
By default, Magento offers only one way of data synchronization – you have to use files to exchange information between platforms. But it is possible to avoid the standard limitation with the Improved Import & Export extension. Our module not only offers several more ways of creating a bridge between your e-commerce platform and external systems but also provides an extended range of supported file formats.
Unfortunately, Magento is bound to CSV files only. The support for the single format is enough for some cases, but it doesn't cover all business needs of a company regarding all its integrations. As for the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension, it substantially increases the number of supported formats. Thus, you can freely transfer XML, JSON, ODS, and Excel files with the help of our tool. Furthermore, it is possible to apply all other features to them. For instance, mapping or schedules are equally supported regarding the chosen file format.
FTP/SFTP. Use a local or remote server to move data files.
Dropbox. The same functionality is possible with your Dropbox account.
URL. If you only need to import a data file, specify its URL.
And don't forget that the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension supports file archives. It extracts compressed data automatically, so you don't need to do that manually before every update.
As for alternative ways of import and export, they are represented by API integrations and intermediary services. In the case of the former ones, the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension lets you use one of the following standards to synchronize your e-commerce store with external systems: REST, SOAP, and GraphQL.

Q: How to debug "error ASPCONFIG: The path is too long after being fully qualified. "? I've got a project that contains a script that runs as part of the build process. In this script there is an AspNetCompiler task that doesn't cause any issues when I run the script locally. The task looks something like this:
<AspNetCompiler
      VirtualPath="/CompanyName.SolutionName.ComponentName"
      PhysicalPath="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\SolutionName.ComponentName"
      TargetPath="$(TargetFolder)\Setup\SolutionName.ComponentName"
      Updateable="true"
      Force="true"
      Debug="false"
      Clean="true"
      ToolPath="C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\" >
</AspNetCompiler>

When I run it on my build server however I get this error:
ASPNETCOMPILER : error ASPCONFIG: The path is too long after being fully qualified.  Make sure the full path is less than 260 characters and the directory name is less than 248 characters. [(PhysicalPath)]

The path in question is definitely less than 260 characters long. In addition the path is shorter on my build server than it is on my local machine. Right now I'm less concerned with solving the error than I am with diagnosing what the issue actually is. The error message is possibly not related to whatever the problem is based on the evidence. I can't necessarily even discern that the path it is complaining about is even the path that is causing the error. Any ideas?

Expats in Saudi Arabia will have to pay a monthly fee
The newly imposed rule is a clear indication of creating more job opportunities for its own citizens and encouraging organisations to hire more people from the local population.
A big lure for the Indian diaspora working in the gulf countries was a tax-free income. But soon this honeymoon could be over. The Saudi Arabian government recently announced that it's planning to introduce a monthly fee for expats residing in the country.
This monthly fee will be based on the number of family members, and the same would be increased every year till 2020. However, what comes as a hope is that blue-collar workers, such as drivers and cleaning staff, will be exempted from this to-be-implemented rule and fee.
This fee is applicable till 2020 for all foreign nationals working in the commercial sector.
In addition, the government has also increased the monthly fee paid by the employer for employing a foreign national, and it will vary from employee to employee, depending on the proportion of foreign workers they have in their team.
Though there is no official announcement on the fee, as per media reports it is estimated to be as high as 800 Riyals per month.
The Saudi Government has also stated that there will be no tax imposed on Saudi citizens.

As a small business owner, having the right people working with you and supporting you is essential when it comes to propelling your business to further growth and success. But, having the right people alone isn't enough; building good, productive relationships with these people and ensuring that you are always on the same page as one another is key to achieving the business goals that you have set out to pursue. We've listed some of the best ways for small business owners to connect and build excellent relationships with their employees.
Conducting an employee survey is a popular choice among business owners who employ large numbers of workers. However, they can be very useful for workforces of all sizes. Even if you only employ a small number of workers now, a survey which they can fill out in their own time and in the privacy of their own home online can encourage more honest answers and give you some great insights into how they feel about their job and the ideas that they have for improvement.
For many start-ups, making sure that everybody is included is vital when it comes to going forward and achieving business growth and success. If you want to see your profits rise, everybody involved with your business should be working together as a team, heading in the same direction as each other. From the CEO to the least-paid employee, making sure that everybody is aware of the business mission, goals, plan and policies is key to achieving success. Treat everybody who you employ as an essential part of your team.
For small business owners, this is a perfect opportunity to get to know your employees on a personal basis and form good relationships with them. Since most small businesses will only hire a small number of employees, it's much easier to get into the habit of getting to know your employees at this stage, as forming relationships with them only gets more difficult as the workforce expands. Being a 'hands-on' leader who isn't afraid to share a little bit about themselves with employees is one of the best ways to cultivate strong relationships with employees. Team building days and days out to an experience such as the escape room Charlotte, going for meals and drinks together on a regular basis, and finding fun ways to build working relationships can certainly help you get to know your employees better.
Human life is full of ups and downs, and chances are that when running a small business, you will experience at least one employee go through a time of personal crisis. Family problems, health issues, money worries and more can hinder the lives of anyone at any time, so it's important that as a leader, you understand that occasionally, your employees may turn to you for help. Being supportive by lending as much assistance as you can, perhaps by arranging for them to have time off or work more convenient hours, for example, is one of the best ways to encourage employee loyalty.
As a small business owner, being able to build and cultivate excellent relationships with your employees is key to success.
