Learning to Learn

1. Finding The Right Resources

Now when it comes to the first step I feel it is important to find the right resources or the right teacher/instructor. Now there are two schools of thought here, I will refer to them as Bootcamp and Self-taught.

The Bootcamp approach says that find the right resources, the right offline/online bootcamp where you have an instructor guiding you each step, building your skills right from the ground up. For the Bootcamp approach, you have a curriculum that will be followed, the next lessons will build upon the previous lessons and you will slowly and steadily reach a certain level. You have an instructor that you can get in touch with when you have some doubts and get your doubts resolved in seconds.

The Self-taught approach says that you make a curriculum for yourself and try to follow that curriculum on your own. There are a lot of resources that you need to segregate from and when you start you don’t understand which one you should start with. You try to spend some time with the thing that you want to learn and eventually you might reach a certain level. You don’t have an instructor here so you yourself need to figure out the answers for all your doubts.

Now the reason why I said, “you will slowly and steadily reach a certain level” for bootcamp route and, “you might reach a certain level” for self-taught route is because the self-taught route is tough. You are just starting to learn this new skill not knowing where to start and the internet does not know your experience, so it gets difficult to learn on your own. No doubt that there are people who have learned and mastered different skills using the self-taught route, but there are only a handful of them. So I recommend the bootcamp route where the instructor knows where you come from and has curated the course for you in such a way that you take incremental steps and eventually master the skill.
Hangfire and .NET Core. It was long ago I came across Hangfire…
Tags: Hangfire, C Sharp Programming, Separation Of Concerns, Net Core 5, Dependency Injection

It was long ago I came across Hangfire as a scheduler for .NET, but I actually never got to use it in any of my projects, until today. Back then it was all about .NET Framework 4.5 and OWIN.

I needed some kind of scheduled job to run in order to implement a data strategy and I remembered Hangfire being the de-facto standard for doing this years ago.

I started googling — as you do — about Hangfire and found some examples on how to use it. But now a days OWIN is a thing of the past and dependency injection is builtin to the ASP.NET Core framework. But I found very few examples on how to use Hangfire on .NET5. Sure there are IServiceCollection extensions to easily enable Hangfire and start a server and dashboard, but I found no examples of being able to create job classes and use dependency injections within that job, without doing a lot of stuff in your Startup.cs file using lambda expressions.

So I ended up doing it like below. I needed a simple recurring job using CRON. When looking at the api I found that AddOrUpdate method could take an implementation of Hangfire.Common.Job, but I found no examples on how to use it and I got the idea that it might be used for marshalling jobs to other processes…but that may be an incorrect assumption.
Basic usage of recycler view Android/Kotlin

Dependency injection / Koin

What are dependencies

Let’s say an object call X need a support from another object call B to get a job done, which means the object X depend on the object B

What is dependency injection

Following up the first bullet point, to get the job done in object X , we have to pass the object B in to Object X , known as the dependency injection.

Dependency injection .. Boohoo 😜✌🏻✌🏻

There are certain libraries, which will help us to do dependency injection in android/kotlin. One of them is known as Koin

Let’s integrate the Koin on our app (the easiest part 😉)

Just add below line into your build.gradle file and hit sync now at the top right corner in the screen

implementation 'org.koin:koin-android:1.0.2'

This is what you should do

Now just right click the main package .kotlinsampleapp -> New -> select Package -> Type the name module -> Hit enter

Then Right click the Per created package .module -> New -> Select Kotlin class -> Type the name AppModule -> Hit Enter

Now your project navigator would looks like this

Double tap the AppModule.kt . We are going to configure a dependency there.

Add below content over there

module , As the sound we use to create a module. we can create multiple modules per project

single , use to create singleton instance of the class, when the dependency needed.

In this example we used to return singleton instance of the Utils(which we used to read a .json file) class, when it required.

Now there is an another important part. To make this dependency injection process work, we have to start the Koin when the project get started. Otherwise nothing will work and luckily it was pretty easy 😉✌🏻✌🏻

As we did recently Right click the .kotlinsampleapp -> New -> Select Kotlin class -> Type the name MainApplication -> Hit Enter

like this

Double tap the MainApplication and open it. Then add below contact into that.

Only one thing left to do. Just open the AndroidManifest.xml and add below line into the application

android:name='.MainApplication'

First of all, this uncertainty adds to all the doubts about how the death penalty is applied to anyone. The truth is, there are always mitigating circumstances. Nothing happens without a cause, and the more science gets involved the more things will be explained about what caused that behavior. It will make culpability much more difficult to define.

I have read about two cases in Texas. One was a White man who had a brain tumor and he was not held responsible for the results of his violent temper. I thought was the correct decision. But the Black man who suffered multiple brain injuries from violence when he was a child was held to be responsible for his actions. His brain was probably more damaged than the man with the tumor.

You mentioned DNA testing, which is currently used to help identify who was at a crime scene. But in the coming years I expect that a person’s DNA profile will be used to explain his behavior. There are some studies that show that people with the MAO-A version of a certain gene have a predisposition towards antisocial acts. Of course, environment plays a big role in how that gene gets expressed. But genetics can be used to partially explain a person’s actions.

All of these sciences can certainly muddy the question of how responsible any of us are for most of our actions. Most behaviors are the result of a complex interaction of our genetics, family of origin, community culture, our general health and some random factors. Yet, consciously, we feel we made the decision to smack that guy in the mouth.

Or maybe, as @ Where Angels Fear said, the devil made us do it.
Are we really Aryans?Did Aryan Invasion really happened?
By: Adit Thapliyal
Tags: Genetics, History Of Culture, History, Aryans, Indian History

6 July 2021 From the times when we were asked about our origins we were taught in our childhood that we were Aryans , The word “Aryan” usually means the noble one which cane from Indo Iranian languages . Now according to the history who really Aryans were? Aryans were said to be the people from parts of central europe or eastern europe namely (Ukraine ,Eastern Prussia,Poland) And people of central asia who invaded India from the north western part and the western part where Indus Valley civilization took place after wards in (1800BCE -1500BCE) . It is said that defeated the people here and pushed them to the Deccan Region which is now known as south India and then adopted and were Civilized here . But from where this theory came from ,that is how we were found to be central asians and eastern europeans? Now here comes the so called “proof” of genetic code , The genetic codes are different in different areas of the world and hence it is said they once shared the same background.

In researches it was found that the genetic code R1a1 also known as the hablo group was similar between the people pf eurasia which is the scandinavia , siberia , and people of southern asia ,and hence this aryan theory was proposed .This lineage is the most widespread and successful lineage in the world with more than 1B people having it.But there are many questions that contradict the theory .

First contradiction is that there is no historic proof of Aryan invasion in India , every part of history has at least some hiatorical impressions ,but in these there are not , where wars were fought ? Between whom were fought ? There is no proof

It was also said that people called Aryans were fair in colour , and the indians were dark skinned people who are currently living in south india,but there are people in parts of up ,bihar, rajasthan ,punjab who are naturally not fair skinned ? Its a complete mix

If Hinduism is the oldest religion in the world then did Aryans came and adopted our religion ?
No pain, no gain (of function)
By: Patrick Flynn
Tags: Genetics, Health, Pain, Medicine, Neuroscience

A rare genetic mutation in the gene that encodes the ion channel, NaV1.9, disrupts pain perception in people and in mice.

Some people do not feel pain. Even severe tissue damage in these individuals does not elicit a response. The causes of this disorder are not well known, but clinical research suggests that genetics play a role.

Pain perception in healthy individuals requires information to travel from the peripheral body parts to the spinal cord and brain by way of pain-sensing neurons. Any defect along this pathway may prevent pain. A key molecular component of this pathway is the ion channel. When activated, an ion channel allows a particular ion to flow into or out of a neuron. Movement of sodium ions into the neuron is largely responsible for a neuron’s activation.

In 2006, investigators identified a genetic change, or mutation, in members of a Pakistani family who are pain-insensitive. The mutation disrupts sodium ion channel (NaV1.7) function and presumably prevents the transmission of pain information to the brain. Investigators in the present study wanted to know if a young German girl, who was born insensitive to pain, carried a genetic mutation that caused the disorder. The answer to this question is not only important to better understand this rare pain disorder, but also to better understand pain perception in general.

Leipold et al. compared the genome of the pain-insensitive girl to her healthy parents’ genomes. They discovered a rare mutation in a gene that codes for a sodium channel, called NaV1.9. This channel is found specifically in pain neurons. The same mutation was found in a Swedish man who also could not feel pain. The rarity of these mutations suggest that the genetic alteration does, in fact, cause pain insensitivity.

Next, investigators created an analogous mutation in mice. These mice were much less responsive to thermal and mechanical stimuli than normal mice, but were not completely insensitive. Investigators then recorded cellular ionic currents from these mice, and found that mutant cells expressing the modified sodium ion channel are activated more easily and were inactivated more slowly. The modified ion channel is overactive, yet pain is reduced.

Findings from this investigation point out a mutation that causes congenital pain-insensitivity in humans. These results provide invaluable information about the causes of sensory loss, but also genetic influences on pain in general. Response to pain medicines vary widely among individuals, possibly because of genetic variability. By understanding the role of NaV1.9 in pain perception, medical professionals will provide more effective and safer ways to treat pain.

My reason to get taller and personal info.
By: Height Growth
Tags: Genetics, Growth, Height, Taller

Being tall is something I’m very much fascinated by but something that wasn’t gifted to me. Still I won’t stop trying till I’m 21.

I’m a 17 year old Indian kid( I’ll be 18 in October) and my height is 5’5 and a half.

My dad(68) was 5’4 in his prime, my mom(50) 4’9 and my elder brother(19) is 5’3. Yet in the past I did some stretching and skipping to get taller, but never ever consistently. Due to it I’m the tallest in my family. Although that’s not enough for me…

The minimum height I want is 5’9 and the maximum being 6’2. Now you might ask me, why do I want to get taller?

Well I’m a pretty confident guy but to be very honest I like this.

Whenever I get a wife I want to be the tall dominant guy. This is what I want and this is the only reason I want to get taller. So it’s pretty obvious I won’t mention my name but I’ll surely put a before and after picture when I’m 21.

I might not be 6’9 how hard I try, but I want to be the tallest I can be. So I’ll be on this journey for 3 years I’ll update daily or right anything just to keep me motivated. I don’t plan on having any followers but if you’re reading it good luck. Make sure to read the first 5 and last 5.

In the next blog I’ll state my plan on how do I plan on getting taller.
South Asia Genetic Chart
Tags: Genetics, Pakistan, India, Muslim, Hinduism

Using South Asian genetic samples run through the Harappa Calculator, I’ve constructed averages for various ethnic groups and castes across the Indian Subcontinent. Below is a quick guide on how to interpret the figures.

S Indian: A signal representing the Ancestral Indians, who were the indigenous hunter-gatherers of India. Their ancestry is most commonly seen in Dravidians, Adivasis, and Dalits.

Baloch: A signal representing pastoralists from eastern Iran who migrated to India thousands of years ago. Their ancestry is found most commonly in the Brahui and Baloch of Pakistan.

Caucasian: A signal representing ancient western Iranian populations, its found most often in populations near the Caucasus mountains.

NE Euro: A signal representing ancient eastern Europeans, its often used as a proxy for Aryan ancestry, and is most common among northeastern Europeans today.

SE Asian: A signal representing ancestry from early southeast Asian populations, most commonly seen in populations like Cambodians, Malay, and Southern Chinese.

Siberian: A signal representing ancestry from northern Asian populations, most commonly seen in Turks, Mongols, Tungus.

NE Asia: A signal representing ancestry from northeast Asia, seen most commonly in Japanese and Northern Chinese.

Papuan: A signal representing ancestry found in Papuan peoples and neighboring islanders in southeast Asia and Oceania.

American and Beringian: Signals representing ancient northeast Asian populations, most commonly seen among indigenous Americans.

Mediterranean: A signal representing early European ancestry, most commonly seen in modern Mediterranean populations.

SW Asian: A signal representing early Middle-Eastern ancestry, seen most commonly in Bedouin Arabs.

San: A signal indicating south African ancestry.

E African: A signal indicating east African ancestry.

Pygmy: A signal indicating pygmy related African ancestry.

W African: A signal indicating west African ancestry.

Note that genetic calculators are not perfect and can have glitchy results at the extremes of certain population clusters. They are however generally reliable, and are best used when pairing them with tools like G25.

All samples were drawn from publicly available forums like Anthrogenica, Eupedia, Reddit, and Genoplot.
New decentralized Medium publication! Follow us at medium.com/illuvium
Tags: Nft, Decentralized, Cryptocurrency, Illuvium, Defi

At Illuvium, we make every effort to decentralize. This resonates throughout the entire DAO. It is the philosophy of all that we do. And we have brought this same way of thought to our approach to our Medium blog.

We have reformatted to make our blog a hub.

Where decentralization comes in is, as we take on more staff writers, whether they are core contributors or guest writers, they will retain authorship and ownership of their pieces. They will see their pieces published on our blog, but it will remain their content, to promote under their name, and to further their writing careers and personal bibliographies.

We believe by opening the floor this way, we decentralize yet another key aspect of our endeavor. We hope you agree.

The new Illuvium hub publication is where you can turn to for the following:

News, protocol updates, reveals, and other dispatches from the Illuvium DAO. Illuvium is a decentralised game studio and DAO that merges online gaming with cryptocurrency. We create uniquely functional, evolving, and high production-value NFTs that function in a universe of AAA gaming titles on the Ethereum blockchain. We are built on L2 via Immutable X.

Witnet Community Q&A — Feb 2020

Witnet Community Q&A — February 2020

Your monthly fill of questions from the Witnet Community. We cover the costs of a Witnet request, Sheikah — the Electron app / interface, and the Witnet 2018 pre-sale. Got a question about Witnet? Check out the links at the end of this article! Thomas Smith Feb 22, 2020·2 min read

Q: How much does it cost to use the Witnet network as an oracle?

A: The cost of running a Witnet request has two elements: the internal Witnet element and the external bridge (e.g. Ethereum ) element.

The Witnet element incentivises the Witnet nodes to process your request. As block rewards are high at the beginning, requests will be highly subsidized, and this cost will be negligible.

The external bridge element covers the gas costs of the transactions that bridge nodes (e.g. Witnet<>Ethereum ) need to create, in order to relay your request and the response inter-chain. For convenience and UX, if the request is generated in Ethereum, the entire payment will be in ETH.

Q: What is Sheikah and where can I install it?

A: In short, Sheikah is a lightweight Electron app, which will serve as a full interface for the Witnet wallet, data requests, smart contracts, block explorer, and more.

It’s still being built, in preparation for Mainnet later this year.

You can read lots more about it (and see how it looks) in the following article.

Q: During the Witnet token pre-sale in 2018 what percentage of the tokens were sold, and what was the average price?

In 2018, the Witnet Foundation ran a campaign on republic.co (linked below), alongside a private SAFT sale.

Also, during our sale we have agreed on partnership with amazing teams: Reflective Ventures, the RChain VC arm, who contributed $1.5M; Aragon and district0x.

A total of 250,000,000 WIT tokens were pre-sold for $6,093,515

This sale accounts for 10% of the total number of WIT tokens that will ever exist (2,500,000,000).

The average price per token was $0.02437406

*The post was updated in October 2020. It previously stated that 250M WIT were pre-sold for $7,593,514.62. This amount was amended to reflect a missing payment from one of the buyers.

How to invest in a liquidity pool

Liquidity pools consist of transactions traded against a smart contract and not other traders, as in the traditional order book model. Anyone can become a liquidity provider by depositing crypto into a liquidity pool to earn trading fees in proportion to their share in the pool.

Zerion now supports single-transaction investments for Uniswap, Curve, Sushi and Balancer liquidity pools, which means learning passive income on your crypto is now easier than ever.

In this article, we’ll take you through the steps of investing in a liquidity pool via Zerion. To find out more about how liquidity pools work, read our deep dive here.

Step 1: Access your DeFi portfolio at https://app.zerion.io/connect-wallet

Step 2: Connect your wallet (Metamask, Fortmatic or a mobile wallet with WalletConnect) and confirm your wallet connection.

Step 3: Open the “Pools” tab

Step 4: Select any liquidity pool to view its historical performance, asset description and key metrics.

Step 5: When you’re ready to invest in a pool, simply select the currency with which you’d like to make the purchase and input your desired amount. Zerion’s transaction builder will find the cheapest route for your trade and execute it for you! (Note that you may need to approve tokens before you can use them to purchase a pool share.)

Step 6: Confirm the transaction in your wallet (if you’re using a browser wallet like MetaMask, you should see a pop-up).

Step 7: After depositing your assets in the pool, you’ll be able to track pools shares from the portfolio overview page. If you click on the asset, you’ll also be able to see your Profit/Loss, Daily Return, Average Cost, and Fees Paid.

How do I withdraw Liquidity Pool shares?

Zerion’s transaction builder makes it easy to deposit and withdraw funds from liquidity pools in a single transaction. Simply click on the pool asset you want to withdraw and select “sell”. You can choose how much of your pool shares you’d like to sell, as well as the asset you want to receive for the sale. Remember that you can also set your own gas fees directly from the interface in order to speed up the transaction.

QUAI Invest and QUAI Interchange, a unique DeFi solution for crypto investors, providing a frictionless and very intuitive platform to the DeFi Markets. The platforms include an on-ramp for BTC, automated capital allocation of renBTC, ETH, and WBTC to selected pools, and automated allocation to QUAI’s auto compounding farms for highly competitive yields.

2- AskoLend + RAsko 💰

AskoLend is a decentralized money market protocol launched on Binance Smart Chain, a fork of Compound Finance. The compound is decentralized, over collateralized loans protocol built on Ethereum. It’s a multi-chain lending platform that will list mid-tier, upper mid-tier, and blue-chip market cap crypto assets. Lenders can select between high and low-risk lending pools. These differences lead to some benefits of AskoLend over Compound.

With AskoLend’s utilization of BSC, the cost per transaction is significantly lower compared to Compound on Ethereum. AskoLend’s accessibility to lenders and borrowers, for a diverse range of crypto assets, increasing potential volumes of AskoLend’s lending and borrowing markets.

3- Sports D3 ⚽️

Sports D3 (Sports D cubed) is a Fintech platform for the sports industry that will enable clubs and athletes to focus on creating new ways for club owners, players, and fans to participate in fundraising, promotions, merchandising, creating brand awareness, participating in events, and receiving rewards. This project will further develop and help with crowdfunding in the sports industry in general and the football industry in specific.

4- Media eYe Portal 👀

A user-friendly platform that allows users to create, mint, and launch their digital media campaigns using NFTs. It is built on a fully automated decentralized platform. The decentralized nature will be positively impacting the markets the users are targeting.

⏰ The team is working around the clock to ensure that these projects are launched within the agreed-upon time frames.

Twin Apex Capital partners with Spores to drive forward a borderless NFT marketplace Twin Apex Capital Jun 17·3 min read

Twin Apex Capital is excited to announce our strategic investment in Spores Network.

NFTs have been shaking up crypto space for the past year, boasting use cases ranging from gaming to authenticating artwork. However, despite the popularity of NFTs, NFT development and adoption are faced with many challenges. To enable the development of NFT applications, such barriers need to be overcome.

Spores full-stack NFTs & DeFi platform bridges the gap between the centralized and decentralized world.

Many non-crypto-native NFT projects will struggle to bridge the gap between the relatively self-governed decentralized realm and the centralized realm bound by various rules and regulations.

In addition to this, NFTs are fragmented on many marketplaces without a seamless connection. For example, NFT owners cannot sell their Ethereum-based. NFTs for BEP-20 USDT without an intermediary.

Scalability & transaction fee. The development of NFTs is heavily dependent on underlying blockchain infrastructure. Fees and incompatibility are hindering the scalability of NFTs.

Alongside this, the lack of accessibility when it comes to NFTs is a real problem.

How SPORES solves the problems in the NFT space

Spores’ ultimate goal is to build a full-stack NFT platform consisting of an NFT minting portal

and a marketplace for trading NFTs, supported by cross-chain interoperable decentralized

finance protocols, which is feasible to solve the limitations mentioned above of NFT space.

Furthermore, Spores marketplace is blockchain-agnostic and friendly for everyone to join.

Spores platform to improve NFT liquidity and make seamless capital access and financialization for the new class of crypto assets. Spores is a complete combination of an NFT minting platform, a marketplace, and a DEX for NFTs. Twin Apex Capital believes that the composition of NFT and DeFi will bring significant progress for the crypto space, and Spores will drive the vision of making it more applicable in the real world.

About Spores

Spores Network founders believe that crypto will lead to decentralization of ownership and frictionless redistribution of capital. Their mission is to create an NFT ecosystem that is creator-centric, community-driven, frictionless, and borderless.

Spores are Duc Luu (Nasdaq IPOed serial entrepreneur ), Eric Hung Nguyen (former senior investment analyst at a top-10-worldwide hedge fund and blockchain angel investor), Paven Do (former blockchain & cryptonomics researcher at HK Applied Science & Tech. Research Institute), and a diverse team of advisors across blockchain and entertainment.

Guardians Unite: How Decentraland, PancakeSwap, & Elrond Supports the ChainBoost Ecosystem
By: Humza Nasir
Tags: Decentralized, Chain Guardians, Pancakeswap, Cryptocurrency, Elrond

Guardians of The NFT Galaxy!

What’s one of the biggest challenges developers face when launching a project? Simple, a lack of collaboration with other projects and networks. Whether it’s NFTs, cryptocurrency, AI, or launchpads, the success of any early-stage DeFi venture relies heavily on getting the necessary exposure to reach contributors and build a supportive community.

Fall short in this area and you’ll be in for a turbulent ride, especially during a bearish market. But luckily for NFT developers, ChainBoost has an ace in its pocket and it faces the issue of lack of networking head-on.

Decentraland, PancakeSwap, & Elrond: The Game Changers

Projects that are boosted by ChainBoost have the advantage of benefitting from reputable networks ChainGuardians utilizes within its ecosystem, such as Decentraland, Elrond, and PancakeSwap. These alliances have benefitted the NFT marketplace in several ways. While all three share in common enormous communities and high numbers of active daily users, they do provide unique advantages that will serve as valuable assets for the ChainBoost ecosystem.

Decentraland

Decentraland’s network features a 3D world that allows its users to use the tokens LAND (NFT ERC-721 token) and MANA (ERC-20 token) to purchase goods and services on the platform. The Decentrland Foundation was also created to help spread awareness and attract more users to the NFT space. Content creators and developers are eligible for rewards through games, prizes, and raffles.

PancakeSwap

PancakeSwap is one of the most utilized decentralized exchanges on the Binance Smart Chain. It’s fast, offers extremely low fees, and taps into user-generated liquidity pools that allow users to swap between crypto-assets. The DeFi farming opportunities offered to liquidity providers have helped Pancakeswap generate over $1 billion in total value and in some cases over half a million active users in a single day.

Elrond

Elrond is a standalone crypto project that combines the power of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. It features a thriving ecosystem of developers, DeFi exchanges, validators, and businesses to help build a new and exciting online economy.

Boosting NFTs on the World Stage

The utility for ChainBoost in relation to these platforms is the ability to deliver NFT projects across an expansive market of contributors, raising awareness for project developers and allowing their creations and the entire NFT market as a whole to flourish.

The story behind Made From Plants
By: Love Anerley
Tags: Plant Based, Shopping, Vegan, London, Bakery

One of my Anerley Road favourites is the vegan bakery and grocery shop Made From Plants, so I jumped at the opportunity to interview the owner, Sarah, and find out the story behind the business. I find that it’s often assumed that vegan options should be healthy or low-calorie, but people wanting to eat plant-based food also want tasty, comforting treats, which is what Made From Plants offers — I’m a big fan of their deliciously sticky cinnamon buns — as well as stocking the essentials for plant-based living. As when I interviewed Sam McMeekin about the Douglas Fir, I was struck by the serendipity of how the business came into being, and I’m so glad Sarah did that juice cleanse and felt inspired!

Made From Plants, 120A Anerley Road

Tell us a bit about Made From Plants — how did it get started?

We started Made From Plants nearly two years ago. Having gone vegan two years previously, we felt passionate about show-casing vegan food in the form of food that was familiar to people, like sausage rolls, pies, pasties, cinnamon buns, cakes and other baked goods. I also wanted to stock the essentials to help people on their way to adopting a plant-based way of living. Everything we do is motivated by our compassion for animals and our desire to reduce their suffering, primarily by showing that we don’t need to hurt and kill them to eat really tasty and satisfying food.

What made you choose Anerley Road as the location for Made From Plants?

We live locally and I always thought that the space would make a cute shop, it had been empty and unkept for many years. Walking past on day six of a juice cleanse, feeling very in-touch with the universe and full of positivity and faith, I saw the notice in the shop window that it was up for rent. I took it as a sign, rang the number, got the shop, left my office job and here we are, two and a half years later. I had no idea what I was doing, I liked baking and I was passionate about veganism, so I thought I’d give it a go, and it’s been a great success.

What’s next for the business?

We also host supper clubs and other sorts of events. The future of the business at this time is more of the same, consistently showing that there are great-tasting, affordable alternatives to eating animal-based food. Better for the people, the planet and, most importantly, better for our fellow earthlings that share it with us.
Why did I decide to be a vegetarian?

I have been a vegetarian for 3 months and so far I feel really good about it. I know that the time I turned to vegetarian not long enough to prove anything, that’s why I made this post, to not only remind myself of the initiatives of my action and also share my own perspectives and mindset toward this pattern of eating. There are certain reasons contributed to my decision of becoming a vegetarian although before I did enjoy having my meals including meat.

Animal welfare: The very first motive for me to change from an omnivore to not eating meat is because I care for animals and the natural resources we are using to raise these animals. They are also beings living on this planet who also have feelings, just like us. I cannot stand for the thought of them being killed or tortured to fill up our meals on the table. I remember watching videos about the process of making commercial meat extremely traumatized me, it’s even more extreme than watching horror movies.

Are they meant to be friends of ours and running around in their natural habitat and making this ecosystem more balancing? I am also thinking while dogs and cats are our pets, why cannot pigs, cows and chicken be? There is always a possibility of turning them from our food to our friends. Let’s do it!!!

The State of the Plant-based Food Industry in Today’s Global Crisis Iankankutot Jun 17·2 min read

If it feels like your dollar doesn’t go quite as far as it used to, you aren’t imagining it. The reason is inflation, which describes the gradual changes in prices and slow decline in acquiring power of your dollars over time. The impact of inflation might seem small in the short term, but over the course of years and decades, inflation could drastically erode the acquiring power of your savings. Fears of inflation are understandable. However, ESG industries such as plant-based foods might be able to overcome this. According to the Good Food Institute, the plant-based sector might develop at roughly 27% CAGR over the next five years and approximately 57% of North American households have acquired plant-based foods as of today, with about 78% of households ordered repeatedly. Here’s how to understand inflation, and steps you could take to protect the value of your money while acquiring plant-based foods could keep you from being healthy!

By this time, it could be hard to keep up with the plant-based food industry. Every month seems to bring buzzy product launches and press releases from startups about the millions of dollars they’ve gathered from supporters. At the same time, big-name traditional food sectors continue to launch their own lines of dairy and meat-free foods at a rapid clip. (1) As it prepares to go public, these plant-based foods are finding a niche by focusing on an untapped plant-based food sector like frozen and ready-to-cook comfort foods. Try these plant-based frozen meals that give people great taste and nutritional benefits!

As a result, eating purely a plant-based diet doesn’t equate to perfect health; however, if it’s paired with balanced and nutrient rich meals, it could definitely lead to good health. This is seen in hundreds of studies conducted around the world, which show that, when compared with the average Western diets, an improvement to consumption of plant-based foods such as wholegrains, pulses, fruits and vegetables, has been associated with a lower risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and other health conditions. (2) These cuisines are generally meat and dairy-centric, and customers might enjoy the same hearty, gratifying, and delicious experience with its fresh plant-based take on these favorites! Let’s create a positive impact now, for ourselves, and for the next generations. Check the disclaimer on my profile and landing page.

Tell me when to use it

“Here’s our cool new audio tagging AI thingy. It identifies and labels sounds in real-time without an internet connection.” “Wow, cool, neat!”

…then they proceed to never use it.

Telling me when to use something is a growth hack. It helps shape a future situation into an organic reminder.

“Here’s our cool new audio thingy. Use it when you want to know the name of any bird in your garden. Just record their call and it gives you a name.”

Boom! Now I know exactly what it does, why I’d want to use it, and when to reach for it.

First off, I can eliminate myself: “I don’t birdwatch, this ain’t for me.”

If you target the right people then the next time they go birdwatching there’s a chance they’ll remember you if they run into the problem your thing solves.

Deliver on your promise and actually identify the bird without loads of hassle, and people are going to remember you the next time they’re faced with a mystery birdsong. Deliver on your promise again and you’re well on your way to forming a habit.

The natural frequency of your problem is an organic notification system. Don’t blindly reach for notifications and nudges, just tell me when to use it and make sure it solves the problem when I do.
Tips for Engagement Photos

A lot of flip books are available that can easily confuse photographers with the tips on posing couples for an Engagement photo shoot. And these books are not cheap and usually of no use. The following engagement posing tips is carefully determined to keep the comfort level of couples posing together for a photo on their engagement.

Before taking the engagement photos and after doing so the couples must be relaxed. They must be encouraged so that they feel beautiful beforehand and even while posing. A beautiful feeling brings out a beautiful smile. A few jokes or simple compliments could work like a charm for this. Photographers must not hesitate to rearrange poses in order to make the couples comfortable in their specific poses. One shouldn’t underestimate the chemistry between the couples which results in some really good poses and photos. Photographers must be ready to shoot any pose at all, especially during the ring exchange. This is the time when love and admirations is evoked they might end up sharing a few charming kisses or laughs and these auspicious moments are the best to capture. It is always a good idea to show the couple how to pose. This is more convenient than waving the hands all up in the air to direct the couples to their respective poses. It is also a good idea to experience the surroundings and get inspired and trying to incorporate it into the engagement poses. Practicing to pose with the help of assistants is also quite effective as it gives an idea about the real pictures and can be experimented upon in time. Preparation is the key to success. One should be prepared for awkward moments when the bride and groom are not happy with the pictures. So having some back up poses up the sleeves may sound like a good idea for those times. A photographer must have an all time assistant for such occasions as a second pair of eyes for better viewing and opinions. But assistants also should be free and frank with their boss in order to point out the ugly spots or the imperfect ones in the photographs. So they are basically a pair of hawk eye. The goal of photography must be to have fun and a great time. the engagement pictures are the pictures of a lifetime and should not be compromised for anything in the world. So to get great photos it is essential to be positive, attentive and also to show interest in the couples and their special day.
At Times, Love is Fake Roses and Imitation Stars

“Good job, Zanne,” I thought the next day. “A whole month of planning and certainty and you chickened out mid-setup. Guess it’s tonight or never, or at least not for another few months until you see her again — which also could be never.”

It was about mid-afternoon at that point and I was a nervous wreck. Imagine being a nervous wreck at a lighthearted Norwegian culture festival in small-town Wisconsin. Yet there I was, on my second visit to a café that had been recommended to me by a woman at a quilting exhibition that morning, waiting for my chemo-sick girlfriend to return from the bathroom.

I was twenty-nine and in love and so very aware of death.

I’d spent all of April and half of May planning my marriage proposal to her down to the smallest detail. My therapist would tell you, as he often tells me, that I tend to deal with my persistent anxiety by over-planning things. For weeks I cut the heads off of fake roses, tested out a portable projector with rotating laser “stars” and a blue “nebula,” acquired a rose-shaped ring box and video-game-inspired ring, and separated a thousand fake rose petals by hand (which was a pain in the ass).

All of this was intended to recreate a specific scene from an anime we both liked, Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie. In the scene the featured (lesbian) couple, Utena and Anthy, dance together in a surreal landscape of stars and roses while the song “Toki ni Ai wa” (“At Times, Love Is”) plays. When we watched the movie Emma said she hoped to dance to that song with me someday; I’d known for a while that I wanted to propose to her, but that’s when I realized how to do it.

Sappy? Yes. Over the top? Also yes. But would she love it? I hoped so.

Because my goal wasn’t just to propose to her; I wanted to make her feel special.

She didn’t seem to think there was anything special about herself, which is absurd — she’s so incredible I can’t believe she loves me of all people. And even if she answered “no,” I wanted to at least give her a moment that would make her feel as special as she really is. If it took a grand romantic gesture to do that, well, bring it on.

Besides, what’s the point of being a ridiculous anime geek proposing to another ridiculous anime geek if you can’t do a ridiculous anime proposal?

As Emma emerged from the café bathroom and made her way to our table, I felt it again, that quiet joy and excitement that sparks inside me every time I see her. I used to think love was supposed to be painful — an iron hand squeezing all the blood out of your heart. But maybe it could feel like this too. Maybe it could always feel like this.

“I gotta do it tonight,” I thought. “I can’t chicken out again.”
