Last Sunday of the Year
By: Ziming Lan
Tags: End Year, Education, Blog, Sunday

Interacted with 2 people today.

1st was a rare notification on Telegram this morning. I was initially quite nervous wondering if it was who I thought it was & if it’s something bad, that I ended up watching some shows 1st. But it turns out 1 of my former profs who wished me a happy christmas. The 1st & only to do so on their own this year.

He says he thought of me because he was browsing Udemy today & remembered that I used to like taking online courses in my spare time.

We had some chats & I agreed to meet him to give some inputs on the curriculum new degree he is preparing.

The second was me messaging a person who posted a comment on 1 of my recent Facebook posts. We chatted a bit & I’m glad he hasn’t ask me on why I have yet to go back this year.

It will be awkward to answer. I do miss that place more than I thought I would, but last year I have also told a mutual friend I’m unlikely to return this year, I will be going back on my word if I make a return. I’m also not sure if that mutual friend still see me as a friend. I’m not sure when to trust my hunch or when am I overthinking.

At the end of the chat, He asked for a meet up which I accepted.

Overall a good day by my current standards.

Next week will be my last work week for the year.

I hope I could survive next week at work for a brighter 2021.

What is Love?

Ever been in love before? I think that one of the most painful things one can experience in life is falling in love. Now, that might sound ironic, considering love is supposed to be a happy and joyous thing, but there is more to that side when it comes to love. Love … while it can bring one immense happiness, it can also bring immense sadness as well. Love is so difficult to describe and is complicated. Complicated because the journey to falling in love is complex and not monotone. In my opinion, love isn’t just one straight path that will lead you to your end goal, but will bring you on a bunch of twists and turns. Heck, it might even throw a curve ball from time to time. Regardless of all the obstacles and pain it can bring one person, I think it is necessary for people to experience all aspects of love, so that they can grow from it and help them figure out a part of themselves.

As the ship continued to sail on the sea, the trip appeared to trail the time by the tea. The winds had gone from luxurious to envious to furious and the mind had drifted from curious to dubious to tedious. They had heard the stories aplenty of those who had come before and how less was the guarantee of being successfully able to get back to the shore!

The only hope now was to come at the fore and fight for a bit more as time continued to keep the score!

Good evening, or night, or whatever you would call it when it is 11:00 pm.

I decided that I am going to start writing my thoughts in a daily sort of post and why not put that out in the world.

The simplest way to describe me would be that I am an eighteen-year-old bisexual boy. I am a senior in high school, so I am in the middle of college application season, yay… I got rejected from Columbia University, but that is okay. I don’t think I would thrive at an Ivy League anyway.

Today was nothing ordinary, at least in my opinion. I woke up at my aunt’s house in Tennessee and now I am back home in Kansas. I drove with my family. Well, I didn’t drive. I only have a learner’s permit.

Before you say anything, I know. An eighteen-year-old should already be driving but I am just a late bloomer, okay? I plan on taking my test in a couple of weeks to get my actual license though. My parents are just too busy to teach me how to drive.

This is all I wanted to talk about. I will try to be more inspirational and real with you guys.

Peace,

Alejandro Gonzalez

Nikie is starting her personal blog

I’m just starting my blogging way. That’s first post, I’m going to publish.

Shortly about my future content:

It’s my own blog about my life, about my obstacles and the progress of overcoming them, about my country, about my work, about my duties etc. I’m holding it for myself, firstly. So, I’ll publish here what I want to publish and I never teach you and never ask you to share my views.

I guess, you will find here some information about city & village, parents & children, law & society, true history & “modern-written" history, cooking & house chores, finally, you will find here anything I decided to publish.

I will be really thankful for every kind word. Please, be polite if you disliked my blog.

Sincerely, Nikie
Expectations are inevitable
By: Mahnoor Amjad
Tags: Creative Writing, Thoughts And Feelings, Expectations, Blog, Mindfulness

Expectations are inevitable- you’ll expect either good or bad.

You’ll expect good if you have done something worthy of it but you’ll never expect bad even if you have done something worthy of cheeky responses.

Humans are very diabolically hypocrites — they tend to find peace after ruining every possible process of churning out peace.

Expectations do work sometimes but sometimes they mow down one’s confidence, they bring disappointments. Stopping to expect is the not the elucidation so that one can refrain from disappointments. So, I realized we should weigh out the process of expectations, the disappointments and the euphoria.

Weighing in way that edify our thoughts about our mindfulness to a level through which we can understand and suss out that what is the effect of this process — either productive or deteriorating?

If it’s good, Soothing, productive and leads to dynamic change in your personality then own it.

And if it is cringe, and makes you feel rattled, just shoo that…

I know the last part is hard but you know at least somewhere you’ll have to make an effort — so either that way or this way, there’s no way out.

AspieMimBlog, What’s it about?

Who is this Rees-Bowen person? Well, let me introduce myself. I am Sandra, a transplanted Southern California Aspie with a side order of ADHD, a compulsive writer, and a photographer. Who moved up to the Pacific Northwest for adventure and to be with the man I loved. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, the love thing did not work out. However, it was so beautiful up here in the Evergreen State with so many forested areas and friendly people that I decided to stay.

Since I moved up here, I have learned much about myself and surviving truly grey and minimally sunny winters. I have discovered:

Even though it is sunny and relatively cloudless outside, it still can be freaking cold. ( Weather forecasts from wunderground.com are reliable and can help in your fashion decision for the day.)

2. Umbrellas can well be useless up here. It is either lightly raining (you don’t need an umbrella to hide from a few sprinkles) or storming with strong winds blowing your umbrellas inside out.

3. Wearing layers of clothing to keep warm is fun. It feels good to be toasty and cozy while going on errands or a winter walk-in cold and blustery weather.

4. Oh, and in my late 50’s was diagnosed with ADHD with a strong side order of Asperger’s.

My blog is about enjoying life with a dash helpful ADHD/Aspie advice with a sprinkling of humor.

WHAT IS A GEOMETRY STYLE? WHY WE NEED THIS STYLE?
By: Leo Hodzic
Tags: Design, Blog, News, Geometry, Interior Design

Hello my dear friends, and my lovely readers! Today I want to present something special to you. So, what exactly it is? It is a style that easily fits into any room, and is simple for everyone. You can read more about him below. That is why today’s topic is what is a geometry style, and why we need this style?!

GEOMETRY STYLE, LET’S LEARN MORE…

This style really does not exist. You see, there are many styles in the world that are familiar but not so much. So, I decided to be one of the bloggers who will bring some style to all of this.

In most styles, the most attention is paid to the durability of that style in our home. Of course, we all like to have a style called an interesting name. And that when we are in society, we brag by saying: “I have a Geometric style, only those who understand what style has it” Well, because of that, I wanted this style to serve everyone …

In the market of various ideas and designs, and innovation in all this. We need something that, apart from looking beautiful, should last at least the next 5 years. Although, almost everyone’s home and style in it will change after 2 years. Thinking of modern young designers, who are eager for change.

WHAT COLORS ARE SIGNIFICANT FOR THIS STYLE?

Um … the colors that are best for this style are: black, pastel, and earth tones. Why earthy? Because with earthy colors you give thoroughness to your style. Relaxation, you are always stable and on the ground. And when we “take off” a bit, as they say figuratively, we are again within normal limits.

As you can see up here you have great example for earth tones. Use grey or wood color floor, then use lighter grey color for the furniture. If you want you can always use a lightness colors inside your room. For that please use pastel colors. For e.g. orange pastel color and baby blue. These two colors are the perfect together.

Geometric style is a style with which you want to transform a smaller room into a large and very interesting design. Or you are more of someone who wants to emphasize a part of the room in their living room. Because that part has an interesting story.

I know that even though these pictures look too perfect, I’m sure there’s a perfect designer hiding inside you. Try to “play” with your details and try each combination. With these three colors, you can always have a wonderful space. And it is with these three colors that you can transform any room. Click here if you want more posts like this, with tips and tricks.

Tags: Small Business, Virtual Assistant Firm, Virtual Assistants Help, Va Assistant, Virtual Assistant

As a business owner, your day-to-day tasks are never ending. There are a lot of moving pieces in maintaining a successful small business. It may be time to alleviate some of those tasks and give yourself more time to focus on your business or even some leisure. You don’t have to do it all.

Virtual assistants help small business & enterprise clients with administration, marketing, customer service, financial services.

Still aren’t convinced how a virtual assistant can help your business grow? Here are a few ways:

Our services will handle your routine and repetitive tasks like scheduling, email & calendar management, basic administrative support, and phone answering. This saves you time.

Virtual assistants are trained to handle customer inquiries, help desk and support tasks to ensure your customers are satisfied and that they return. This generates customer loyalty. Returning customers means reoccurring revenue. More money! More money!

Like many small businesses, you may need assistance with online marketing, social media management, video creation/editing, graphic design, website management, SEO, blogging, and more. Many business owners successfully have a website created for their company but fail to have the website managed. In this digital age, your business cannot afford to have a non-functioning website. This also applies to social media. Your clients want engagement. When you are running a business, it can be difficult to find time for this. A virtual assistant can handle this task.

Remember, a virtual assistant should make running your business easier. Write down a list of daunting tasks that you just don’t have time for. These are the tasks that should be outsourced. Don’t go into the New Year without a business plan. Request a consultation with a Virtual Assistant Firm and collaboratively come up with a strategy that will take your business to the next level.
Giving Or Guilting?
By: Sunni Chapman
Tags: Life Lessons, Small Business, Entrepreneurship, Mindset, Personal Development

Many times in business and in life we get asked to give of our time and services. Often this comes in the form of people asking for free work, or discounts, or perhaps some kind of ‘mutually beneficial’ collaboration. And when that happens, you may feel conflicted and confused, and you may wonder to yourself something like the following:

“HOW do I give from the heart and help people which is a GENUINE and REAL desire of mine and still honor my own intuition, red flags, boundaries and pricing? How do I know if it’s a real desire to help and give, or when it’s just the ego playing tricks and making self-sabotage and abandonment of my own rules and boundaries sound like a good loving thing to do?!”

And to that I say: Guilt and/or shame. That’s how you know.

If you feel propelled to give because of any feelings of guilt or shame in you, that is not real giving. That is an attempt to be “good”. It is not from your overflow place, it is not from abundance. It is from a place of lack and scarcity. And that will always lead to more lack.

That is why those things never work out, because they are resulting in the same energy they were born out of: lack.

Just think about any time you’ve compromised your needs and boundaries to try to “help” from a place of scarcity, guilt or lack in you… how that work out??

When you feel INSPIRED to give, you feel lit up inside, you feel love, warmth, appreciation, you feel a smile in your heart or maybe even a fire in your belly for a cause, but you do not feel guilt or shame.

Guilt or shame are coming from a place of lack, not of love, and as such they will always only create more of the same. So you must learn to recognize this difference in you.

When you honor your own needs for yourself (rules / boundaries), you are loving yourself as JUST as important as the other, and as worthy of having your needs met as the other, and when you are EQUALLY as important as the other ANY giving you are inspired to do will automatically be from love, not from lack. And as such will CREATE more love, not more lack.

This is why you feel resentment when you give from a lack place. You started with a feeling of “owing” something (to the other person in this case), and so of course it ends up feeling like you are now “owed” something that you didn’t get. When you start with lack, you end with lack. Lack breeds more lack.

Love yourself enough to treat your needs as important as the other and all your giving will be naturally inspired and flow in the ways it was meant to, and it will create MORE abundance in turn, since that is the principle you started with, that is what will magnify.

Pro Tip: if you find it hard to say no to people, ask yourself who taught you you don’t get to say no? When we are kids we don’t get to say no. And we get guilted and shamed into doing what we don’t want to. But we are not kids anymore, you get to say what you need now. You get to say yes when you mean yes. You get to say no when you mean no.
The evolution of brick and mortar. Or why small businesses exist.
By: Michael Abia
Tags: Delivery, Retail, Ecommerce, Small Business, Brick And Mortar

Brick and mortar was a term first used by Herman Melville in the book Moby Dick. It stands for the physical presence of businesses, small or independent businesses of today. It is impossible to know when the first brick and mortar business started, but we know it has always been the way manufacturers distribute their products to consumers.

So let’s create an imaginary character. Sozeb Ffej, the first small business owner. Looked around his village and wondered out of sheer laziness. “Why do I have to travel to the potato farmer to get potatoes and the pepper garden in the next village to get pepper?”. “Why can’t I get it all at my neighbors' house?” — he thought. He didn’t need to work or produce (like the others), all he needed to was buy the stuff his neighbors needed and sell it to them from his house. Damn, this was a good idea. He could be a billionaire one day.

Brick and mortars have always existed based on location. That is the most important thing every small business owner does at the start, deciding where. From grocery stores to restaurants and even service businesses, they set up shop because they bet that people over time will prefer better, faster, easier. This customer logic is what giant eCommerce companies like amazon have profited from.

Amazon is one giant brick and mortar store, they just evolved faster with that logic (took advantage of the internet). And sit on trillions of capital, of course. But they are just like the convenience store you see down the street, only that they use webpages and not physical space to connect to customers. Even if you disagree with my description of amazon as the evolved brick and mortar store, it’s not wise to ignore investments in brick and mortar chain stores like Amazon Go, Amazon Bookstore, 4-Star, Whole Foods, Pop up.
Effective Communication

Effective Communication

The organization needs to document the policies and procedures they have in place for controlling risks and improving. Finally, everyone in the organization needs to be trained on these so that they can help the organization succeed!

How does this happen? I am not the best communicator, but I do well. The secret to my success is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS speak to your audience! Meaning, address what is important to your audience, not what is important to you. You have important information to convey, but convey it so that the audience understands what you are saying. Some say, “Meet them where they are”, not where you want them to be. This takes humility because you have hold your horses and understand your audience. Listen to what is important to them.

Also, you need in all levels of the organization:

. Transparency — of information

. Telling it Like it Is — no sugar coating the information

. Empathy — keep in mind how people will feel about the information

. Firmness — with the rules

STOP making these 3 mistakes if you’re a new YouTuber!
By: Luciano De Lima
Tags: Small Youtuber, Motivation, Small Business, Motivational, Grow Youtube Channel

Lack of patience

Definitely, and probably 100% of the people who read this article will agree with me. Bear in mind that YouTube in practically 95% of the cases it’s a long-term process which when you reach finally 1000 subscribers and get 4000 hours watch time it’ll get days, months or even years to reach this goal. It’s true that some people get the results a little bit faster depending of the niche but don’t think at all that you’ll get the results faster because results may vary and remember yourself: YOUTUBE ISN’T FOR EVERYONE, so that be a lawyer isn’t for everyone, be a farmer isn’t for everyone and so on. And if YouTube for some reason closes the a door to you, God will open another.

2. Comparisons

This is another thing that can certainly discourage small YouTubers. Why you should compare your channel with another successful channels who have over 1 million subscribers or even 100.000 subscribers? Always focus on YOUR channel, in what you should improve in YOUR channel, make improvements in YOUR channel in terms of titles, thumbnails or your content in order to get more watch time because doesn’t matter how much views you have, what matters in fact it’s your CTR (click-through rate) and watch time. Work and focus your mind on thisthis and your video will get suggested to videos who has a lot of views and your channel will grow.

Don’t turn your eyes in another YouTube channels, neither to the left or the right, stay focused on your channel and pay all attention on your channel.

3. Buying Subscribers

It’s sad to say but there’s a lot of people who sells “subscribers” in order to get easy money and misleading newest YouTubers. NEVER EVER BUY SUBSCRIBERS BECAUSE THIS WILL HURT YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL. The right growth of a YouTube channel always will be organically even because most of the subs purchased are bots or are people who don’t even care of your content. Don’t let be misled for this kind of dishonesty, they don’t care about you and your channel. Stay focused on your work, do the best as you can, don’t care about what others who don’t know nothing about YouTube are saying. Continue with your hard work and you’ll get the results. You sow what you reap, if you reap a hard job you’ll sow in proportion with your job done and if you cave and continuous to do it you’ll find your treasure.

Why Small Businesses need a Website
By: Mabaso Sibusiso
Tags: Webdevelopment Company, Small Business, Website, Web Development, Website Development

this won’t be easy to digest; this is EXACTLY WHY SMALL BUSINESSES NEED A WEBSITE

It’s the simple truth, 40% of small businesses are blocking themselves from growth, by not having a quality website. Keep in mind that having a website doesn’t mean you need to know coding or have a degree in computer science. It’s simple and easy to start, update, maintain and it’s never been this cheap to get one up and running.

A great research showed that in South Africa, of the 56 million people, 26 million people are online everyday. Instead of reaching 100 or less potential customers a day without a website, this search showed that you can now reach 26million potential customers a day with just having an active website. That’s the kind of exposure a website can give your business. It’s insane right!

Websites are the golden sheep of the online marketing platform and this is why? They do what can’t be done by other online marketing platforms (like: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram…)

One of the Benefits of having a Website

Growth Opportunities

A website is a great way in providing a place that potential investors can be refered to.

Cuts Costs

A website saves you advertising and distribution costs. It can act as your online brochure/catalogue that can be easily changed/updated anytime at zero costs. This can allow you to lower your prices giving your business that real competitive edge.

What to do now?

You need to search and contact a good website developing company that provides quality services and that guides you through the process, like Khwezi Technology they are one of the best website developing companies out there.
Here Are 3 Legal Possibilities That Entrepreneurs Should Consider As Joe Biden Goes Into Power
By: Ashley Warren
Tags: Small Business, Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneur

It should be apparent to everyone by now that the US Elections have been concluded. While there have been jaw-dropping headlines about the authenticity of the process, Joe Biden has been declared, without the shadow of a doubt, the President-elect.

For small business owners, this could mean a change in everyday operations. Depending on where you fall on the income scale, these changes could range from awesome to your worst nightmare!

Photo by XPS on Unsplash

With the impact that Covid has had on the economy, many business owners look forward to seeing what policies the government will implement. The economy needs to recover, and right now, entrepreneurs are feeling the squeeze the most.

As such, the following 3 factors should be considered by every business owner as 2021 approaches.

Access to small business grants

The new administration has made it clear that it plans to provide funding for small businesses. It was previously understood as a loan, but a grant is much more suited to help businesses get back on track.

Under the previous administration, there was a program called the PPP (Paycheck Protection Program). This program was designed to help, but it didn’t provide aid in time. As such, small business owners should inquire about how to qualify for these grants and how long it will take for the funding to arrive.

Increased Taxes

If you followed the presidential race carefully, you probably know about the proposed new tax structures from both candidates. With Biden winning the presidency, his tax structure would mean an increase in the cost of living.

Photo by bruce mars on Unsplash

While the top 1% of earners in America are slated to pay the most taxes, corporations are also seeing increased taxes. And they tend to offset these taxes off on consumers by raising the price of their products and services.

As a small business owner, you should get legal assistance in restructuring your business so that you can legally avoid paying some of these taxes.

Increased Minimum Wage

The new administration has plans to raise the minimum wage to $15. For a large company, this raise in the minimum wage won’t have a significant effect. However, if you have 10 people on staff and your business is struggling, this could present itself as a major issue.

Luckily, the new government aims to deliver relief to small businesses that have less than 50 employees. This relief is expected to be rolled out soon.

Apart from the 3 possibilities discussed, there are many more pressing issues that you need to be aware of. If you want to get more info and access some of the best marketing tips available, this report has all the information you need!

12 Email Marketing Tips

Email marketing is one of the most effective forms of advertising for small businesses. In order to be successful on the internet and maximize the benefits of the internet, a small business needs to implement a result-driven marketing strategy on the internet. The real benefits of the internet can be realized only if a business is able to use the internet to market its products and services.

Email marketing is one of the most effective and fastest-growing marketing channels. One of the first steps in a successful email marketing campaign is to build an email distribution list of potential customers. A business can build an email list from a variety of sources including its website.

Managing a substantially large email marketing campaign will require a well-planned strategy and may involve the services of a professional marketing company. If you do not have a large email list then it can be purchased easily from a direct marketing company that specializes in email list management. A business can also collect email addresses from potential customers via a newsletter registration form on the website.

Following are some 12 email marketing tips for a small business:

1. Start building an email marketing list of customers

If you do not have an email marketing list you can start building one now. Whether you have a small or a large client base, you can start by first including your existing customers on your email marketing list which you can build upon with time. A small business can start an email marketing campaign from a relatively small list which can expand with time. As new inquiries are received, the list can be expanded. It is a common practice to purchase a targeted email list from a professional marketing company.

2. Email registration on your website

Offering customers a way to register via your website is probably one of the easiest ways to build your own email list. A registration form can be added to your website with ease. The placement of the email registration feature on your website is important and has an impact t on conversion rates. It should be placed in a prominent place on the website. If your website uses a content management system then most likely the newsletter registration feature will be built-in.

3. Start a Marketing Newsletter

Sending newsletters to your customers is one of the most effective email marketing techniques. You can start a newsletter on a topic related to our industry. The newsletter can be weekly, monthly, or even quarterly. A newsletter provides an excellent opportunity to communicate with your customers on regular basis. You can use the newsletter to subsequently market your own products or services.

Spatial Goes Mobile
By: Charlie Fink
Tags: Spatial Computing, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, Augmented Reality, Cross Platform

Spatial, the seemingly ubiquitous collaboration site which allows as many as two dozen users to collaborate in the same shared virtual environment, today added mobile devices to the list of devices that can share in a simulation with PCs, the HoloLens, Magic Leap, and VR headset, creating the first truly cross platform XR solution. The company was just named Inc.’s “Up and Coming” tech company. “Conference calls are terrible,” the headline read, “Spatial is replacing them with Holographic meetings.”

Smartphone users can move around the room as if virtually present in the meeting with other avatars. SPATIAL

Spatial has added key features to enhance its mobile interface. These include automatic camera switching to allow mobile users to easily see who is talking on a smaller screen. A full set of intuitive mobile-centric UI allows your avatar to move and interact with models, documents, or videos in 3D, allowing us to mix the virtual and real worlds with our mobile devices.

Use of Spatial and other immersive collaboration platforms has skyrocketed this year. Spatial says usage is up more than 130X and over half a million meetings joined since the start of the year. “This is a huge step for spatial computing and for us in solidifying our leadership as the leading AR/VR collaboration tool on the market today,” said Anand Agarawala, Co-founder and CEO of Spatial. “Previously only people with a headset could experience the true magic of Spatial but we wanted anyone to be able to take advantage of it. Now, you simply hold up your phone and for the first time ever can become an active part of any virtual meeting and see life-like avatars of coworkers or friends right in your living room.”

Spatial’s system uses a proprietary AI algorithm to automatically create fully dimensional, recognizable avatars for each participant from a simple 2D photo. Users can share web pages, media content, 3D objects, and write on whiteboards as if they were all present in the same room. Their first customers include Mattel, Purina/Nestle, and BNP Paribas.

Remote work is far from the only compelling use case. Spatial also allows users to share media, so a family throughout the world, on different devices could play a game, or watch a big one. Or simply play with their grandchildren in unexpected new ways. Think of it as Facetime in 3D with a much, much better form factor, and cross-platform. Lee says that “We are moving from the era of personal computing to collective computing where people can share their space and ideas from anywhere, on any device.”

Since its launch two years ago, Spatial has raised $22M from iNovia Capital, Expa (founded by Garrett Camp), Lerer Hippeau, Leaders Fund, Samsung NEXT, White Star Capital, iNovia and Kakao Ventures, and Andy Hertzfeld (Co-Inventor of the Macintosh), Instagram founder Mike Krieger and Zynga founder Mark Pincus.

Theatre Critique: Neverland
By: Tom Nickel
Tags: Peter Pan, Virtual Reality, VR, Theatre, Theater

Neverland Live!, based on the classic story by J. M. Barrie, was performed in a virtual theater, Saturday, December 27 at 7 pm pst. Written and directed for Virtual Reality by Mike the Myth, the twenty-six member cast held a full-capacity audience completely engaged for the entire one-hour performance. The themes of fantasy and reality — and how they can change as we age — are perfect for VR, which raises the same questions itself.

The acting was strong up and down the cast. Some had previous professional acting experience, we learned later in a Q & A, and some didn’t. The two who stood out the most for me were Hook and Wendy. Hook of course is the over-the-top role and Charles Ace definitely went there. He needed to. The avatars we are present with in the theater are small and ungraceful. Life and energy comes mostly from the voice and Hook bellowed.

Trending AR VR Articles:

Wendy played it differently, with probably the most challenging part. She had to be real English girl in a totally unreal situation, and she was. She nailed the accent and the emotion. Her avatar name is Psycho and, full disclosure, she is a friend of mine and not a psycho and also not a young English girl. She had to act.

Everybody had to act. They had to act in a situation experienced by very few actors. Let’s make sure we all understand VR Theater: None of the performers involved in Neverland Live! were together, not one. They were in twenty-six different places, pretending they were together, dealing with audio time lag, tucked away in closets and appropriated spaces at home, wearing funny-looking headsets.

The climax of Neverland Live! is the duel between Peter Pan and Captain Hook aboard Hook’s ship. Their sword/knife fight was a weird kind of puppet drama, with hidden forces pulling strings hundreds maybe thousands of miles away, while an audio bot played the clash of steel. It was completely hokey and 100% perfect.
Avrilar™ to Cross-Develop Learning Platform DApps using Butterfly Protocol for Domains with .Learn TLD
By: Dana Farbo
Tags: Distributed Ledgers, Device Management, Virtual Reality

Avrilar, a Platform as a Service (PaaS) for combining device, content, and learning management under a central control application will be creating a decentralized approach to data management for institutions, enterprises, and individuals. In collaboration with Butterfly Protocol, Avrilar will build an alternative approach to its current data storage strategy to include a data management environment that gives the control of the data to the person or entity that generates it.

In addition to the Manage.Avrilar.Com PaaS, Avrilar will work with a newly created Butterfly Protocol Labs group to build a data wallet that will act similarly to web3 wallets like MetaMask to authenticate access into an individuals data and allow transactions such as contributing data to a pool as a staking mechanism.

Avrilar is an industrial-strength device management system that gives institutions and enterprises control over the fleets of virtual (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices they use. Companies like Verizon and AGCO used the first generation fore-runner of Avrilar to manage head-mounted AR devices for field worker productivity improvement. The new platform is an open architecture, containerized system that is scalable and able to integrate blockchain, distributed ledger, and other decentralized technology.

In addition to enterprises, schools, and other institutions, Avrilar will be rolling out a user-focused data management environment to allow end-users to control their data before it goes into cloud and hybrid cloud data systems. By developing into a Butterfly Protocol domain environment with IPFS integration, Avrilar is preparing for a new world of domain management.
