Introduction of ZENITH X FANS (1/4)
By: Zenith X
Tags: Zenx, Zenithx, Nft, Nft Token, Social

ZENITH X FANS will be a global fandom platform that increases transparency and trust for all ecosystem participants with blockchain technology and facilitates the transaction of digital items and content with NFT technology. In addition to the communication space between fans and artists, this platform will include a media where exclusive contents can be exposed, a commerce portal where strar’s contents or goods are sold, social production where fans vote for their favorite artists to raise them, and crowdfunding where fans can participate in funding in the projects that require initial capital that was originally only covered on the part of agencies and investors.

Social Producing

Artists selected through the first audition from all over the world can participate in Social Production on ZENITH X FANS. Fans are free to vote for the most talented artist among the selected candidates, which is recorded in the blockchain and released transparently. The most important part of voting through blockchain is digital identity verification to ensure the right to vote per person for eligible voters (thereby alleviating any Sybil attack) and the correct voting tally and attribution (thereby alleviating any vote manipulation).

Fans who vote on ZENITH X FANS will be guaranteed voting rights through decentralized identity authentication (DID), which will be identified and encrypted by voters through a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). This can lead to a thorough verification of vote data while at the same time not exposing the personal information about who that person is, thereby enabling the creation of publicly available and trusted data for anyone in any vote.

The artist who earns the most votes through this trustworthy voting system will receive systematic training from a management agency and prepare for their debut. Even during the training process, intermittent popularity votes will be held to communicate with fans and artists continuously, and you can check the training progress of the artist through videos uploaded regularly. Through this process, the transparency of voting and trust in the platform can increase fans’ involvement in Social Production and auditions themselves, making them feel like artists they voted for are raised by them, giving them a voice in the artist’s destiny and even dramatically increasing their loyalty to the platform itself.
Is Social Media the New Tool for Promoting Your Art?
Tags: Art, Social Media, Artist, Media, Social

Galleries are finding that artists with large social media followings who promote their exhibitions to their followers have far more successful events than those which either don’t do social media or don’t promote their exhibitions on it. The difference is so telling that some galleries are now taking an artist’s following into account when deciding whether to feature them or not.

For Discollins, the ability to directly reach out to his potential audience and interact with them simply isn’t possible to such a degree in any other way. It doesn’t hurt that sales made through social media channels (which typically get directed to online storefronts like Etsy and Artsy) net the artist the full profits from their work.

Galleries on the other hand can charge commissions of up to 50% on sales, a steep price to pay when the artist’s own social media following is becoming increasingly integral to the success of those shows.

Furthermore, social media followers can be directed to Kickstarter or similar crowdfunding sites to help fund an ambitious art project, which could allow the artist to fully devote themselves to it, as opposed to worrying about paying the bills or slowly gathering the resources for it.

Social Media Not Always Artist-Friendly

Instagram is absolutely tailor-made for artists, with a massive audience of some 1 billion monthly active users who are on the platform solely to tantalize their eyeballs with cool images.

Social media is by no means perfect though. Despite often being described as extremely liberal, social media giant Facebook, which also owns Instagram, is quite conservative in some respects with regard to the content it allows, in ways which clash with artistic ideals of free expression.

In particular, nudity is a virtual no-go zone on either platform, even in art form. Some artists and even museums have had their offending content removed or their accounts suspended for posting content that is deemed “suggestive”. Even images of iconic statues which depict nudity, such as the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, have run afoul of Facebook’s moderators.

Artists also lose a lot of control over their work once it’s posted online, as images of art can be circulated throughout the internet without proper credit being given to the artist. This can be overcome somewhat by adding a watermark to the image of your work, though some artists are torn on whether marring your piece for the sake of copyright concerns will do more harm than good.

Discollins also cautions artists to be wary of the line between promoting their art and promoting their own “brand”, which social media tends to encourage. He believes the focus should always be on the art, as becoming too caught up in cultivating or preserving a brand image could easily lead to the death of creative expression.

Spoonman
By: M.G. Siegler
Tags: Tech, Spoonbill, Twitter, Social

Confession: my favorite email that I get — correction: maybe the only email I get that I like — is the nightly recap of Twitter bio change activity via a service called Spoonbill. I know it wasn’t, but I felt like this was my little secret. Then John Gruber wrote about it the other day, so now the secret may be more out.

This service (and the others like it) are utterly illuminating. You can learn so much from social bio changes. Investments that are going well, investments that have gone under (or clearly aren’t going well),¹ people moving, people changing jobs, people — gulp — changing relationships.

Some people change their bios every single day, often with the smallest tweaks — moving commas and periods. A/B testing things in their mind. It’s really a fascinating flashlight into some sort of psyche.

I see it all and judge it accordingly. 👀

The latest craze are the people tripping over themselves to add some sort of NFT/crypto references to their bios. It’s all so silly. I love it so much.

BOUSTEAD PROPERTIES & THE CURVE BRING FESTIVE JOY TO THE LESS UNFORTUNATE SiennyLovesDrawing Mar 4·3 min read

Conscious of the plight of underprivileged communities that have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, Boustead Properties Berhad (“Boustead Properties” or “Company”) together with the Curve extended a helping hand to 4 homes in an effort to ease the burden and lift spirits in the Lunar New Year

Boustead Properties, developer of the Mutiara Hills township in Semenyih, contributed RM15K to three homes within the area, namely Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-Kanak Cornerstone Selangor, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Warga Emas Al-Fattah & Joy Garden Old Folks Home. A total of 82 residents consisting of children & senior citizens benefited from this altruistic gesture

In addition, representatives from the Curve visited a nearby old folks’ home, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Warga Emas Kenang Budi Kuala Lumpur, to donate an array of daily necessities such as rice, oil, flour, sugar & other groceries, along with face masks & hand sanitisers for its 15 senior residents

The residents of all 4 homes also received individual money packets or ‘ang pow’ from Boustead Properties and the Curve respectively

During the visits, both Boustead Properties & the Curve adhered to Movement Control Order (MCO) 2.0 regulations & standard operating procedures

Executive Director of Boustead Holdings Berhad and Acting Chief Executive Officer of Boustead Properties, Izaddeen Daud said, “These are exceptionally tough times when we must come together as Malaysians to show that we care. Some communities have endured much hardship & we hope our humble contribution will make this Chinese New Year a meaningful one for all the beneficiaries and help spread the much-needed festive cheer.”

Jazmi Kamarudin, Senior General Manager, Property Management & Investment of Boustead Properties Berhad, said, “During this special occasion, it is all the more important to share joy with those who are less privileged, where giving back can truly make a difference. We hope our donation will make the celebrations brighter for the residents.”

Lim Yee Siang, representative from Pertubuhan Kebajikan Warga Emas Kenang Budi Kuala Lumpur, said, “We value the Curve’s support and their contributions to bring happiness to our senior residents this Chinese New Year. Their generosity will definitely be helpful, especially amidst this unprecedented situation.”

In keeping with the Chinese New Year celebration, the Curve had adjusted its festive campaign under strict adherence to the MCO 2.0 regulations in order to lift the spirits of patrons for a much-needed break from being at home. The patrons were treated to a thematic décor at the mall, inspired by the 1960s era. The essential and non-essential services, food & beverage and other approved outlets remained open & operated within the limits of the MCO 2.0 guideline

The new DSF decentralized social network and its advantages
By: Dsf Chain
Tags: Coins, Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, Social

Greetings, community. 👋🏻 Today we will tell you about the new DSF decentralized social network and its advantages.

🔹 DSF blockchain is a decentralized social financial network based on blockchain identity. In essence, this means that data on social connections of users of social platforms is loaded into a chain, and a decentralized financial DSF wallet is associated with smart contracts. In this way, the restructured world of the blockchain-based on real social relations is realized.

🔹 The DSF project will consist of two parts: a decentralized social network, designed primarily to confirm the social relations between user addresses, and a decentralized financial platform containing a variety of financial instruments based on the blockchain.

🔹 These two parts of the DSF will be seamlessly connected through smart contracts, thereby creating a financial chain of blocks of a decentralized social network that can be practically applied and has great potential.

🔹 The DSF blockchain develops different types of smart contracts at multiple core links, including confirmation of social relationships, system mining rewards, based on social relationships, and the use of social relationships by blockchain financial products.

🔹 In the new decentralized social network DSF, the core technologies and models of the three core blockchains have been added.

✔️ Firstly, the true right to the digital currency, which allows users to have very strong personal assets in a social network, and these assets generate actual use-value through various financial services.

✔️ Secondly, social relations are in a chain. It is not the 1.0 era relationship between the IDs in the social network but the social relationship between the addresses associated with the ID. This social relationship data will be in the chain.

✔️ Thirdly, social relations are a smart contract. This smart contract will connect data on social connections in a chain to provide an interface for the next generation of blockchain financial products.

大概在兩週前Turn Capital宣佈了和Kollective Ventures收購SoundOn，台灣最大的Podcast平台。

在短短的10天內，SoundOn的團隊推出了全新的SoundClub by SoundOn平台

SoundClub到底是什麼？

最近大家都應該聽說很火的美國平台Clubhouse，這我就不多介紹了。SoundClub建立在這基礎上，搭建了雙平台（Android+iOS）的中文社交平台。這第一版功能主要為雙平台開發，後續這一兩週也會推出新的互動模式，讓觀眾能和內容主持人互動，不只是在台下看戲的感覺。主持人也會有更多機會和觀眾互動。

SoundClub如何區分自己

互動，互動，再互動。

現在市場上的產品主要專注在台上台下的感覺。SoundClub希望打破這模式，建立觀眾與主持人/內容創作者的互動機制。

內容創作者贊助與變現。

創造內容是需要耗時間和精力的。現在市面上的平台還沒專注這塊。SoundClub會啟動幾種幫助內容創作者變現的模式，包含了訂閱服務，和進場門票。

多語言，雙平台。大家的平台。

大眾不只用iOS。SoundClub知道這點，也決定專注開發力氣開發雙平台，雖然說這耗費了更多人力和開發資源，但是為了要達到大眾效果，必須做到這點。另外，SoundClub也即將推出多語言版本，帶動到其他市場，產品不會只專注英語，因為SoundClub希望這平台是大家都能用的。

SoundClub: The Dual Platform Audio Social Network

Two weeks ago, Turn Capital and Kollective Ventures acquired SoundOn, Taiwan’s largest podcast platform.

In just a short 10 days later, SoundOn launches SoundClub by SoundOn

What is SoundClub?

I’m sure everyone’s heard of Clubhouse by now, so I won’t spend time introducing it. SoundClub is built on the foundation that Clubhouse was designed for, and SoundClub’s team added to that foundation by quickly rolling out both Android and iOS versions. In addition, SoundClub aims to break the barriers currently seen on Clubhouse, where there is little to no interaction between the audience and the moderators. What’s a conversation if there’s no interaction between the mass and the moderators?

How will SoundClub Differentiate?

Interactivity³

As mentioned, we will break the barrier of communication between audience and moderators. We will implement interactivity functions between the two, and will roll out these interactive functions soon.

Monetization and Sponsorships

Creating content is expensive and time consuming. We know. We will focus our efforts on helping content creators monetize, and allowing the audience access to quality content through paid channels. Some monetization strategies include subscriptions and ticketing. These will be rolled out soon.

Dual Platform Focus. Multi-Lingual. A Platform for EVERYONE

Community does not only use iOS. We know this. SoundClub decided to dedicate resources to build a platform focused on both iOS AND Android users, even though this took up more resources and time. In addition, while SoundClub’s first version is in Traditional Chinese, we will roll out a version supporting more languages in the next few days, to ensure we can support more markets. A platform like this should not only be focused on English. It should be built and localized for the needs of all markets.

How to think about Clubhouse audio strategy

How to think about Clubhouse audio strategy

Is this new social audio platform a threat to podcasting? Spoiler: Nope. But, it’s creating an entirely new space in digital audio to serve different needs than podcasting. And talk radio might want to keep looking over its shoulder… Steve Pratt Feb 3·8 min read

In the world of digital audio, it seems like everyone is talking about Clubhouse. (Elon Musk debuted on the platform this week!) For an invite-only, iOS-only social audio platform, there are suddenly a LOT of people on there and a LOT of people excited about it.

In May of 2020, it had 1,500 users and was already valued at $100M. This past week, there appear to be over 2 MILLION users, and with a reported additional investment from VC firm Andreessen Horowitz, the valuation now stands at $1B. That is some serious growth in a short period of time.

So (if you can secure an invite and you have an iOS device), here are some ways to think about an audio strategy on Clubhouse…

First and foremost, whether you’re a creator or a brand, you need to answer this question: what’s the job you’re hiring audio to do?

Once you know the answer, you can determine what to make, where it should live (podcasting, Clubhouse, radio, etc), and how to use it. There are lots of great uses — and some not so great uses — for Clubhouse. Here are a few ways to think about when and where it makes sense.

Clubhouse and Podcasting

EMERGENCY TOWN HALL! SOS!

I’ve seen several articles, many tweets, and numerous Clubhouse rooms focused on one question: will Clubhouse kill podcasting?

As with many others, my quick answer is an emphatic “NO!” Why?

Clubhouse and podcasting (mostly) serve entirely different purposes. Clubhouse is primarily being framed as “social audio,” which, by definition of the way they are distributed, is not possible for podcasts.

Podcasts are on-demand shows, in the same way that Netflix, Prime Video, and Hulu let you consume the shows you want on your own schedule. The most successful shows are very well-produced. They are often edited to increase quality. Many have narrative-based formats. They offer the possibility of rich sound design that creates scenes and emotions in your mind. I know there are many exceptions and that there are a LOT of unedited talk podcasts, but…

Clubhouse, so far, has none of those attributes. None.

However, Clubhouse is able to do all sorts of things that podcasting can’t, too. If you want to create a live show, if you want to interact with an audience as part of the show, and if you want to be real-time topical, Clubhouse is a much better option than starting a podcast.

Many years ago, I was working with Jonas Woost (Pacific Content’s Director of Strategy) at CBC Radio. He led me through an exercise of making a very basic chart to determine which platforms we should use for which purposes. I’ve created a similar chart to show where you might decide to use a podcast, or you might decide to use Clubhouse, based on what your strategic needs might be.

ClubHouse — what is it and how to get there?
By: Zpmirov
Tags: Clubhouse, Social Network, Voices, Social

From the beginning, Davison and I had an idea: And the idea was to develop auditoriums and develop technology that allows people to have meaningful conversations and make “strong human connections with interesting people around the world without leaving their homes. @ Clubhouse

How Clubhouse works :

The concept of work is as follows: In front of the user there are many rooms to which you can connect at any time.

Each room can accommodate up to 5,000 participants, and each room is dedicated to a specific topic

How to get to the Clubhouse ?

Registering an account in the Clubhouse is not such an easy task, since it is a closed social network and is now available on the IPhone (iOS 13 or higher)

To get into the Clubhouse , you need to have a device based on iOS 13 and no less (there is no official version for Android yet — but there is a port for android) and receive an invitation from a user who is already registered in the Clubhouse

You can send an invite only to a person from your notebook on your phone, this is the only way that invitations work

Why did Clubhouse blow up the internet?

In fact, the social network Clubhouse appeared back in 2020, and so — to say it bummed at 21, most likely the success is connected not so much with the concept of audio communication, but rather with the fact that it is a closed social network where you can speak with a voice with many famous personalities: For example, with Elon Musk, etc.

Clubhouse for android

In fact, Clubhouse under — androyd does not officially exist yet, and when it will be officially unknown.

But there is some good news:

One GitHub enthusiast ported Clubhouse to android, the program is distributed free of charge with open source, so anyone can disassemble the program into pieces and check for malware.

The Clubhouse port is available for Android version 7.0 and higher — it most likely will not work on smartphones with an older system.

3 awkward
Tags: Poetry, Introvert, Community, Awkward, Social

3 awkward people

were left at a table

with drinks and some food.

they broke the awkward silence

with laughter and a light note

“initiate small-talk sequence”

said one.

3 awkward people

roared aloud

while talking about small-talk

Jibes about the weather were made

in fake-english accents even

because we all know

that’s the pinnacle of small-talk.

But when the others returned

3 awkward people had made

an inside joke about nothing.

Why would you ever

leave 3 awkward people

at a table alone!

====================

Spontaneous poetry about last night. Its kinda been a while since i wrote things, but i’m really trying to make it a habit. It’s something we discussed last night with the others at the table- the idea of art as a practise and not as its outcome and how sometimes one should simply do without questioning or judging the outcome. Jury’s still out but your thoughts are welcome too.

We also talked in length about organising poetry events again,(ranting begins here) but feel like the “scene” doesn’t really want them. Mostly cause, nobody seems excited, nor are the “seasoned acts” doing anything new and where’s the community beyond a circle-jerk of open mics? I’ve organised about 25 poetry events thus far, performed in a few of those cause of last minute drop-outs really and have been posting poetry on-and-off but i’ve never been invited to anything beyond an open mic night. Yeah, poetry isn’t my life and soul and i dabble in many different forms and mediums of art but where’s the community really?
How to migrate Data Warehouse to Big Query?
By: Tudip Technologies
Tags: Testing, Mobile Application, It Services, Software Development, Social

A data warehouse is a system that collects or stores the data from multiple resources in a single place for reporting and analysis.

Migrating a data warehouse has always been a complex process. You have to think a lot before investing your time and resources. Most of the organizations have relied on traditional data warehouses to collect users data. It is very difficult to maintain and scale the data in those data warehouses to meet today’s business needs. Maintaining and making the data warehouse at regular intervals has been cost effective for the organizations. As an organization you have to plan a strategic approach when turning to cloud data warehousing solutions like Google BigQuery.

Big Query

Google Big Query provides unlimited storage, no-operations, massive scaling and extreme level of performance. Below are the some features of BigQuery which makes it unique:

Powerful data warehouse engine for Data Science and Analytics.

Fully managed and serverless.

Provides real-time analytics on streaming data.

Automate data delivery and built the foundation for ML.

Pay only for what you store and queries run.

Exabyte — scale storage

Petabyte — scale SQL queries

Encrypted, durable, and highly available.

Instant and elastic scaling of capacity as per demand.

Simplify data operations.

Disaster Recovery built-in.

Built-in ML and GIS.

Support of ANSI compliant SQL.

Query performance across the spectrum of workloads.

High-speed, in-memory BI engine.

Easy adoption of new features and tools.

Elimination of traditional ETL processes and tools.

Social/ Dating app project: Exploring Social & Dating compatibility with Big 5 Personality trait.
By: Jia Wei
Tags: Social, Big Five Personality, Dating, Dating App, Pyschology

This article is for Psychology students, researchers & anyone practicing professionally in Singapore.

My name is Jia Wei & along with a friend, we have started a social/dating app project that explores matching individuals to each other/ to groups based on personality traits.

These include personality models from Myers Brigg, Big 5 personality, etc. To preface — our expertise do not lie in psychology or how to actively model compatibility based on these models, we are relying on existing & publicly available information to craft our algorithm in these matching process.

We are designers and developers by practice, and our goal is to create engaging social games that our users can engage in & be more social with. Hence we are designing a variety of social games in various themes (e.g: food, Arcade, social board games etc.)- where the overarching theme is personality playground (personality here is loosely defined & has a more entertainment purpose.)

We will be working with a few personality games that focus on Big 5 personality traits & matches our users to each other based on their attributes & compatibility. As a result of this, we will be collecting a number of personality dataset that might interest researchers & psychology students/ practitioners.

However, I must pre-face that these personality data will be more casual & “gamified” due to the nature of our social gaming angle, but with it will come potential scalability since there is little barrier of entry in participating in these games.

As product people, we are interested in the application of these personality data, with the goal of finding more compatible matches/engagement for our users. While for researchers, the data & on-going project could be an opportunity to test different theories, hypotheses & research ideas.

We are looking for collaboration/ partnership in this area of expertise in relational and personality psychology, hence please reach out if you are a researcher, under-grad/practitioner in the field of psychology & is interested to find out more.

A Random Scotch Tasting

I went to a Scotch tasting event with an ex-coworker-turned-friend recently. I’ve never done anything like this before. When I was in Italy I partook in a wine tasting that was part of the wedding package, so that was among friends and family of friends and friends of friends and it was an amazing excuse to get drunk in Italy on new kinds of wine! But, the Scotch tasting was different because I only knew one person there and I was by far the youngest person at the table. I felt like a kid at a family reunion with uncles I’d never met before.

I am not a Scotch drinker at all. I’m not against it, but I’m ignorant of anything and everything about liquor. Notes? Hints of cherry wood? It’s dry? Huh? I said one of the drinks tasted like “a fireplace” and my newfound uncles laughed at me… but in a fun silly way! It was cool to let go of my preconceived notions about the Scotch people — I’d assumed they’d be high-society-type adults who were plucked right out of an episode of Seinfeld with khaki pants and law degrees, but instead I met musicians and actors and people who just liked to enjoy things in life. And actually, there was a lawyer there! He was the guy who wrangled the whole event together!

I kind of learned a lesson at this event: I don’t have to constantly worry about impressing strangers or assume they’re going to be snobby and snooty and think I’m some bozo who thinks “fireplace” is an actual flavor note for Scotch. They didn’t care! They just wanted to drink and meet new people — that’s the other wrong assumption I made: nobody knew each other! Most people knew the guy putting the event together (I sure didn’t) but everyone was asking one another, “how do you know so and so” and it was very enlightening. Like, everyone here is just trying to make new friends and have a good time. I don’t think there was any “make new friends” pressure. This was a “just have a good time” event, and that’s exactly what it was. Everyone was nice, everyone had a good time. I went in thinking “here I go, hanging out with middle-aged adults, I’ll look like a moron,” and I went out with great stories and friendly exchanges instead.

So there I go again expecting the worst, assuming I’ll come off one way and instead having the opposite experience. I can’t say I learned a lot about Scotch whiskey — I know it’s big in Scotland and that it’s amber in color, but truly that wasn’t what the night was about. It was about meeting new people and exchanging life experiences.

Maybe it was actually about Scotch, but to me it went way deeper. Maybe I’m crazy, but I’m glad I took more away than I expected to!
Do Diet Plans Really Work, Or Are They Elaborate Hoaxes?
Tags: Nutrition, Personal Care, Health Foods, Diet Plan, Social

Have you heard of the “ Fruitarian diet”? NO?

What about “ Keto-diet”?

Surely you must have heard of the “Sleeping Beauty Diet”?

Or the “Cigarette Diet”? You HAVEN’T? Are you living under a rock?

To the uninitiated, all this sounds a bit overwhelming. And frankly, with the limitless amount of choices on diet plans, they all start to seem fake, especially when you’re desperately trying to lose weight and literally everyone around you is offering advice on what to do. The fact that there are as many different kinds of diet-plans as there are people offering them only adds to the complexity of the situation.

But let’s take a step back here. First, cut out the FOMO feeling (Fear Of Missing Out), that itself is a tall order. But you don’t have to listen, understand and follow every single plan that everyone around you tells you. The key to do that is to realize that only one of these plans needs to work, and only once. Once you find a successful plan, you can continue with it regardless of what others around you might be trying to coax you into.

Calling out the professional

But that still doesn’t solve anyone’s problem, does it? How can you get in shape if all the diet plans are nothing more than fads? With the flood of information enabled by the internet, everyone’s an expert now. But are they really? Does googling something and belting out the top 2 answers make you an expert on all human knowledge? Obviously, no. So, let’s get down to the brass tacks — who’s the expert on diet-plans? Why, dietitians of course. And if you’re even remotely serious about your goals on shaping up, slimming down — whatever those goals maybe — you will need to enlist the help of a trained dietitian.

You are what you eat. For serious reductions or gains in body mass, for shaping up to have a well-toned body — professional help can make it easier and healthier for you. And not just gaining/reducing weight — dieticians can assist you in deciding on plans that can help you live healthier lives. There are certain types of food that can increase stress and decrease overall energy. Dieticians can help you avoid those foods and decide the kinds of food that will increase the amount of energy.

The key is to remember that these trained professionals look into you — your lifestyle, the climate you live in, the house and travel methods you use, your medical and family history and many other little things that can help them make a complete picture of you. They will then prescribe a diet plan that is completely customized for you. Many others with similar attributes will have plans that are similar to yours, but there is no one-size-fits-all here. This can be an easy marker for you to check whether your dietician really does have your interests at heart or not. If he/she doesn’t bother to get to know you, or if they just prescribe more or less the same plan to most of their clients, then you know it’s time to switch dieticians. But remember that true expertise only comes with training, not from googling. The kicker? Google agrees with me on this.

Don’t be pressured by socials 📱

‘I bought my own house at 21’ is one of the many things we all see on social media these days. Ultimately, we’ll start to compare ourselves to them and that is where we go wrong – Forget it all. Don’t think about your age-mates buying their first car, getting that promotion or even going on multiple holidays a year, your time will come!

One thing you should note is that the people that you see thriving, they too were in the same position as you were. The pressure and the thought of “how are they doing all these things?!” Keep in mind that many people don’t tend to post their failures (which makes sense) and only post their achievements, it’s not an easy road. Behind the scenes they could’ve hit Rock bottom and you wouldn’t have known and you’ll just see the smiles and the laughter, don’t be fooled by it all.

Go at your own pace, it’s better to try once and success, rather than trying to catch up with people and failing on multiple occasions and losing all motivation that you have. Also, be positive, because once you finally see the fruits of your labour, you’ll be able to sit back and chill in the sun with a few cocktails
Capstone Journal. First, in my opinion, designing an app…
By: Jing Lin
Tags: Social, Food, Capstone

After presented 15 ideas in class, I have some directions for my capstone.

First, in my opinion, designing an app helping elders connecting with international students is very meaningful. International students can learn English and American culture from elders and elders have companions to socialize with. As a first generation immigrant, I really hope that there is someone who can teach me English and American culture.

I also really want to create an app using illustrations to teach kids math because I am passionate about math and illustrations. My 10-year-old cousin hates math and I wish I can design something to help her get more interested in math.

The last topic that I want to do is creating a website for Misfit Market, which is a new idea outside of my 15 ideas. I got to know Misfit Market through Instagram and it is a company that takes ugly fruits and misshapen vegetables that are thrown away by farmers and sells them to the public to reduce food waste. I think that that company’s mission and goal to reduce food waste is really meaningful and also it fits with my interest in food. I would like to put some more time studying the topic of food waste and maybe develop this idea further.
