What we need to know about Supplier

Supplier is a functional interface;

@FunctionalInterface

public interface Supplier<T>

It takes no arguments and returns a result of type T.

T get();

Also, through Stream’s generate method we can generate an infinite sequential stream where the supplier generates each element.

public static<T> Stream<T> generate(Supplier<? extends T> s)

In scenarios where we expect an output without input in any process, we can use the functional interface of Supplier <T> without having to redefine it each time.

Let’s investigate code examples :)

Use of supplier in the get method

We used supplier get method of the Supplier interface and then it takes no argument and returns T.

Use of supplier in Stream’s generate method

Let’s say we want to generate 5 random numbers between 0 to 20

We created supplier01 and created Random between 0 to 20.

6. line, we used Stream’s generate method and also gave 5 as the limit.

10. line, we took 2 numbers because of we used filter(Predicate<T>)

12. we can use it like on the line if we create a static method.

Use of supplier in LocalDate

Let’s use static LocalDateTime in different ways

Another Stream’s generate method and returns a Supplier example;

Use of supplier in orElseGet

orElseGet (): returns the value if it exists, otherwise it calls another and returns the result of its call

public T orElseGet(Supplier<? extends T> other)

Another example;

If a null object comes from the database when we want to get data on the database, we can call a method or return an empty object.

We will detail the investigation about Optional in Optional blog.

Thank you for your time :)

Stuttering for Meaning — Part 3/3
By: Bhavin Prajapati
Tags: Truth And Reconciliation, Helping Others, Lying, Stuttering, Comedy

I had no self worth so I bolstered it anyway I could

I started writing about how I make fun of my stutter as a form of acceptance and learning some meaning behind it with the help of Moses and his stutter to bear divine truth.

I lied a lot in my youth because I didn’t stutter; it disappeared, I felt normal. I had no self worth so I bolstered it anyway I could, especially towards people. You can placate others through lying, but it will create a painful void that eventually catches up.

I don’t lie anymore. I know who I am, I care less of what others think of me because only I possess the variables to my truth.

Going back to comedy, Plato defined a comedy as a destruction to the self, contrasting with what Aristotle referred to as the rise of a sympathetic character; two actions towards personal truth.

The real comedy to my story is that stuttering saved me; it redirected the lying for self-preservation. I have a real talent for creative truths, a talent that can be misused for greed and pain. Had I not stuttered, I would have still lied and there is no telling what I could’ve gotten away with.

Yet creative truth seeking is the talent we sorely need in a time when more people seek meaning. It’s a responsibility that I’m finally willing to bear because the best way to accept myself is to help others accept themselves.

How?

I have to listen more than speak… something I was born to do.

How to write less code using VS Code and Emmet

VS Code has a powerful feature built in called Emmet abbreviations. These abbreviations are based on Emmet

Here are some Emmet abbreviations to save you some time.

HTML5 boilerplate code:

VS Code has a Emmet abbreviation that generates the boilerplate HTML 5 code. This is super helpful as I can never ever remember this code.

The abbreviation is html:5
Google Map on HMS
By: Mustafa Kurt
Tags: Huawei Mobile Service, HTML, Hms, Hms Core, Huawei

General view for this article is as below:

This article will mention about how to use GoogleMap service on pure HMS device. As we all know, we can’t use GoogleMap services on HMS device because GoogleMap belongs Google Mobile Services. Besides, there is one way to make this function available which is implementing html file into webview component. Our html file will work with googleapis url. We will html file which include googleapis url , and webview will show this video. In a roundabout way ,we can use GoogleMap. To use GoogleMap into your html file, you need get apiKey from from google developer console. Use below instructions to obtain one;

https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/get-api-key#:~:text=In%20the%20Cloud%20Console%2C%20on,to%20add%20an%20API%20Key.&text=Go%20to%20the%20APIs%20%26%20Services%20%3E%20Credentials%20page.&text=On%20the%20Credentials%20page%2C%20click,your%20newly%20created%20API%20key.

Html

As you see as above picture, we will use this html code piece for rendering google map. Url must have key parameter which user obtained from google developer console.

NOTE: Before we start, I would like to emphasize that this article assumes that you already crated project and app in AGC page and create project in Android studio. If Note please reference ; https://medium.com/huawei-developers/implement-hms-map-kit-and-add-marker-with-mvp-design-in-java-257425637df9 to check how to create project and app in AGC page and create project in Android Studio.

Note: Please do not forget to activate MAP Kit in AppGalery Connect (Project Setting → Manage API) and to add build dependencies to app level build.gradle file.

Note: Please do not forget to add below permissions into AndroidManifest.xml file.

Root level build.gradle file.

Layout xml file;

MainActivity.java file;

GoogleMapUtil.java file;

googlemap.html file;

Application view;

Thanks for you have read this article.

I hope it will be helpful.

Hope to see you in next articles.

Until that time, bye.

Wash rinse repeat!!! — Otherwise Learn, forget, relearn(html, css, JavaScript)
By: Seth Starr
Tags: Codingbootcamp, CSS, JavaScript, HTML, Flatiron School

Just hang me out to dry

I recently had the biggest brainfart of my life so I figured it’s time to take a refresher course of some of the basics.

I recently came across a post from new developer that was very honest about the learning cycle of what web developers go through on a regular basis(I hope I don’t botch this but here goes):

1st — Learn HTML

2nd — Learn CSS

3rd — Learn JavaScript

4th — Forget HTML

5th — Forget CSS

6th — Forget JavaScript

7th — Relearn HTML

8th — Relearn CSS

9th — Relearn JavaScript

etc…

That pretty much sums up this post lol so I figured a refresher is in order because I’m hitting my turn in the lifecycle of what I realized is a never ending stream of Was Rinse Repeat :).

Udemy is currently running a holiday sale on said courses for web development for anybody that’s a new customer so I’m taking (another) plunge. So I guess that this is only part one of this new series of endeavors.

Thanks as always for those that read my posts as I’ll keep these going for as long as I can(I may switch over to video posting in the future but this is good for now).

Cheers and Happy Holidays to all(Happy New year as well!!!)
There’s another way of changing transforms from JS.
By: Jason Knight
Tags: Regex, CSS, JavaScript, Problem Solving, HTML

And this other approach is... interesting. CSS variables. Now that we have native var's you can instead of changing the CSS on the element, you can create a STYLE tag from the JS and apply your CSS changes inside it.

This can be slower, but it's simpler as you're outputting JUST the variable and its value, not the whole declaration.

So for example if you have:

#square { transform:rotate3d(var(--x), var(--y), var(--z), var(--angle)); }

And have those declared in root in your normal stylesheet:

:root {

--x : 1;

--y : 1;

--z : 1;

--angle : 45deg;

}

You can make a new stylesheet to override that:

var

mySheet = document.head.appendChild(document.createElement('style')),

newAngle = 15;

mySheet.textContent = `

:root {

--angle : ${newAngle}deg;

}

`;

That way you don’t have to worry about what else is set in the transform or mess around with regex. The time it takes for the CSS changes to be re-applied ends up about the same as the regex overhead, at least from my own findings. I really should write a benchmark to test that.

There’s more than one way to skin a human.
Fixed/Sticky Navigation
By: Jayson Chiang
Tags: Js, HTML, CSS

向下捲動畫面，固定Navigation的方法：

main.html

<body>

<header class="header">

<div>title</div>

</header>



<nav class="nav">

this should be fixed

</nav> <section class="content">

<-- long content -->

</section>

</body>

main.js

const header = document.querySelector('.header');

const nav = document.querySelector('.nav');

const navSibling = nav.nextElementSibling; const originTop = navSibling.style.marginTop; window.addEventListener('scroll', () => {

if(window.pageYOffset > header.clientHeight){

nav.style.position = 'fixed';

nav.style.top = 0;

nav.style.width = '100%';

navSibling.style.marginTop = originTop + nav.clientHeight;

} else {

nav.style.position = 'static';

navSibling.style.marginTop = originTop;

}

});

當然，寫在js中的style可以另外寫成css的class，讓scroll時新增/移除這個class就楚清楚了。

但現在有更好的寫法，相同的html，但不需要js，僅用 css 就好

main.css

.nav {

position: sticky;

top: 0;

}

兩行解完，完勝 js 的解法。不需要DOM操作，也不用監聽scroll事件。

sticky 與 fixed最大的不同在於，被fixed的element會離開原本的layout，原本navigation的占有的空間會不見，如果sibing 的上方不立即回填一個高度，就會造成scroll的不流暢。

而sticky就是在「固定時」，仍然占有原本空間。

使用sticky一定要搭配 top (或bottom)，讓它知道相對於外層多少距離時，開始固定於畫面。所以sticky的其中一個缺點就是於外層如果有 position: relative，就有可能無法固定在window的相對位置。

sticky還有另一個缺點，就是瀏覽器的支援度較低，詳細請查MDN.

Simple Accessible Custom Checkbox with an input HTML Element
Tags: CSS, JavaScript, Accessibility, HTML, Front End Development

An input HTML element with the checkbox form control has limited styling capabilities, but has compatible support from assistive technology for checkable interactive controls. Here’s a simple solution for creating an accessible, beautiful checkbox while following best practices.

Best practices The first rule of ARIA is: if a native HTML element or attribute has the semantics and behavior you require, use it instead of re-purposing an element and adding an ARIA role, state or property to make it accessible. As such, it is recommended to use the native HTML checkbox using form control instead of recreating a checkbox’s functionality with JavaScript and ARIA.

Mindset Matters for Your Career

Mindset Matters for Your Career

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay

Stanford University Professor Dr. Carol Dweck has identified two types of mindsets: fixed and growth. Most people are a mixture; however, the predominant mindset determines how much personal and professional success and satisfaction you can achieve.

Fixed Mindset: People with a fixed mindset believe that their potential is limited, that they are unable to learn new things, and that failure is fatal. They take criticism personally and resent others who seem more successful than they.

Growth Mindset: Those with a growth mindset believe that they are capable of learning anything as long as they apply themselves. Highly resilient and flexible, they view mistakes as ways of improving, seek out challenges, and enjoy learning new things.

Neither mindset is right, nor wrong. However, cultivating a growth mindset can lead to more options and choices for your career.

“In the fixed mindset, everything is about the outcome. If you fail — or if you’re not the best — it’s all been wasted. The growth mindset allows people to value what they’re doing regardless of the outcome.” Carol S. Dweck, Ph,D.

Action Steps to Cultivate and Showcase a Growth Mindset

Show willingness and eagerness to adapt to changes and encourage others to be flexible and receptive when change happens.

Thank others for their feedback, evaluate what they tell you, and use it to improve.

Go over your Assessment and think about how you became adept in your strongest skill.

Do you demonstrate this skill on the job so that people know you have it?

If not, look for opportunities to tackle a project or assignment that lets you showcase it.

A growth mindset is the foundation for long-term career growth and success since it helps you identify and prepare for opportunities that you might otherwise miss.

Getting ahead today is more competitive and challenging than ever before. Older employees are retiring, but the population of younger generations combined show that there are millions more workers than there are positions. This means that you must set yourself apart in order to be noticed for job opportunities and advancement.

Young people today are used to pursue optionality as an end in itself, leading to a fear of commitments and a generation of wandering souls

Tags: Career Advice, Careers

Young people today are used to pursue optionality as an end in itself, leading to a fear of commitments and a generation of wandering souls Christopher (IG:artsandquots) Dec 27, 2020·1 min read

As the professor of Harvard Business School, Mihir said, the desire to optionality has become such a prevalent phenomenon across the generations nowadays that young people are obsessed with having or keeping the options open when considering or moving into a new role. In other words, they are obsessed with the desire to maximize optionality, without having committed to anything.

In return, this “desire to maximize optionality” phenomenon has become a force to prevent people pursuing their passions. Creating too many optionality is thus perhaps, not the way for you to achieve your dreams or end goals, but a dangerous diversion that will deviate you from your true path. You don’t need those all those countless of safety nets when you already have a few important ones. 80/20 rules here.

Combat Sorties from OEF

Seven years ago, I spent December 27, 2013 in a Huey with my dear friend and mentor, Zach.

We were working the Helmand Province along with the rest of the “World Famous Gunfighters” of HMLA-369. Each year that passes brings a little bit more confusion about how to interpret this anniversary, but what remains crystal clear is an overwhelming appreciation for my loved ones, both immediate and distant.

Last year, Santa brought me Philosophy, Psychology, and Sociology books. (He must have heard I didn’t know what I want to be when I grow up…) This year I was gifted books on Currency, Economics, and Entrepreneurship. It seems I’m closing in on a vocation, and application for my new title: “Emerging Behavioral Science Expert”. I have always put defensive air quotes over new roles I didn’t feel qualified for, to joke away some of the fear.

The truth is, you don’t need them. A little confidence can go a long way. If Santa can be real, so can the potential to bring change — even if it’s scary.

It doesn’t seem that I can control whether or not today will turn me into a werewolf, but I do have the power to share that it’s something I deal with. So, if you see me in cut-off jorts running through the woods tonight — just know it’s a full moon for me, and I’ll be back tomorrow. Also, if you’re dealing with something you’re confused about—you’re more than welcome to rip your shirt off and join, but just for the night. We’ve got important work to do tomorrow.

Goodbye (riddance), 2020. Thanks for the hindsight.

Jason and His Teacher by Maxfield Parrish

A knight climbs long forgotten paths,

That one tried to reach by flying to the top,

Now his dried wings still hang on a rope.

On the shade of ancient images,

You learn to think and hope.

Inside seasoned doors,

Light bids welcome.

And as often, the road diverges into two paths,

A hall of lyres, a hall of liars,

Both feasting under the same fires.

Softly spoken words, cast a spell on wounds,

Long ago they were opened by harpoons.

One of the starborn begins the call of war,

When they leave for east,

Someone can finally clean the black floor.

Far in the distance,

The fabled Walls of Troy I can see.

They too, like that brave warrior’s skull, still burn,

After all, few things we never truly learn.

There, where once stood a young Heracles,

On the shore, a young man writes poetry,

His most recent work begins:

“In Dodona, today they cut down a tree,

Tomorrow another one, now that Zeus is gone.

Can’t be there, to mourn the loss,

Yet real soon, those logs the Aegean will cross.

Oh Illyrian knight,

That comes to aid my soul.

Tell me… tell me of the west,

My home, now desolate and depressed.”

I bring thee good news, son of Homer,

Ten thousand ships ride the seas,

Lions, eagles, hounds and bears,

Finally united, come to claim lost dignity;

To grant hyenas and leeches no impunity.

To replenish this barren wasteland,

Set the enslaved free.

With Grace and Truth,

The hungry shall be filled,

For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

From my book Morpheus

Ladies and lords, Have you ever mark Mozambique’s flag you will see there is an AK-47 gun on the flag.

Soviet rapport with Mozambique dated back to 1960s. When the Soviet began to support indigenous guerillas who were imminent to independence against Portuguese colonial Africa. FRELIMO was a political movement upheaval against the oppressive and incongruous rule of Portuguese colonialism. A coterie of henchman began their unconventional movement on 25 December 1964 and officially started a war which ended with a ceasefire on 8 September 1974.

The Portuguese endeavoured to defend, unfortunately, could not sustain against the guerillas, as the old wisdom says’ the guerillas only have survived to win. The juggernaut Portuguese in handed the 400 years of rule on the negotiation table with shame and embarrassment Nevertheless, the penitent great powers always lost the conflict on the Negotiation table. Cohorts of leaders were trained in Moscow. Many

Had been succumbed by Portuguese’s subalterns.

The Soviet succour and supplied a plethora of Guns to Africa including the Legendry AK-47. the belligerent devotees showed their love for AK-47 struggled and endeavoured for freedom till death, perished many Portuguese army’s officers and subordinates. The subsequent Partisans appreciated the aggressive retorting gun and Soviet’ succour. After the independence, they marked the monogram of AK-47 on Mozambique’s flag, it is an honour for Russian weaponry industries that their gun is being used as the country’s basic military weapon for war. Limited succour of soviet with Africans lead toward Ironic independence.

Why I Believe Nigerian Graduates Are As Employable As Ever (Part 2)

Photo by Cytonn Photography on Unsplash

In the first part of this article, we assessed the unemployment crisis from a historical perspective. We introduced you to a hypothetical elite Nigerian family (The Boyoyo family) living the Nigerian dream and oblivious to the economic struggles of the generation that came after them. We also provided factual evidence of the current state of the Nigerian labour market and attempted to address some of the misconceptions.

What are we missing?

At the heart of the debate is that Nigerian graduates are not well equipped for the labour market. The proponents of this argument believe it’s all about skills or the lack of it.

This trend of thought leaves more questions than the proponents can logically address. What are the in-demand skills in the Nigerian labour market, and where are these required?

· Do we have high-speed trains, and missing the required personnel to run them?

· Do we have a national air carrier with 1000 aircraft, and we can’t find pilots, crew members, and back-office staff?

· Do we have functioning oil refineries and we can’t find engineers to work them?

· Did I see industrial gas plants all over the country posting job vacancies?

· Do we have a plan to expand electricity generation and distribution to 200,000 megawatts (MW) from the paltry 4,000 MW and we can’t find enough electrical engineers?

· Is there a national water scheme to make drinking water available to 200 million Nigerians in their homes and we can’t find people who are ready to engage?

· Has the government been able to court and attract the likes of Amazon, Google, or Facebook to set up data centers and operational hubs in Nigeria and there is a shortage of manpower?

Poetry as a second language
By: Gt Goodwin
Tags: Life, Language, Philosophy, Poetry, Nature

Author photo

Ted Kooser and Jim Harrison communicated for a time through poetry. Postcard missives crossing the country over several years, fragments of conversation between two old men in haiku and verse. Of this Harrison noted “We decided to correspond in short poems, because that was the essence of what we wanted to say to each other”.

I wonder about this. I’ve heard poetry described as exactly the right words in exactly the right order. The clearest of all languages. The truest of all voices. Is there a better way to speak? Is there a better way to discuss the things of this world?

If we all spoke in poetry I could, for example, tell you about the cardinal I saw perched on the peak of that house across the way this morning, the cold December air ringing with his sharp chiroo, chiroo, chiroo. A garish red slash against the rough, grey skin of the rooftop. Like a deep knife wound without the glisten. A dollop of outrageousness.

Later he flew down to the feeder behind my home, scattering a small pack of wrens in a flurry of screech and menace. Even the huge grackles took notice and winged off to the pines at the edge of the field. Alone, the cardinal ate his fill of sunflower seeds. Ate, and then, rising into the bright sun, arrowed to the east and disappeared into the shadows of the trees.
LingoDeer: Can I Learn a Language?

Tags: Language Learning, Language

Recently, I started to search for an app to help me learn a new language: Korean. I tried DuoLingo, and it just didn’t cut it for me because I was trying to learn a whole new alphabet, and the way the platform was set up didn’t work for me. I decided I needed something that would ease me into it. After a little bit of research, I ended up finding LingoDeer, an app to help people learn different languages. I thought I’d give it a try since the reviews were all pretty good. I downloaded it, and I was just really happy with the atmosphere and layout of the app.

I really enjoy learning through LingoDeer because of a few reasons:

The repetition makes it easier for me to remember what I learned. Ads are not in your face (I really like how even though it promotes itself for upgrades or other apps, it’s subtle and not aggressive like some other apps). The layout makes it easy to navigate and choose a new lesson that you want to learn. Last but not least, one of my favorite things about this app is the courses for each language each have different levels. For example, Introductory and beginner lessons, Pre-intermediate lessons, Improving conversation skills, and a travel phrasebook for trips.

The app itself is very simple in the way it teaches, and I appreciate it since I’m not a fan of complicated things, especially when I’m trying to learn something as difficult as a new language. It’s easy to just say you’re going to learn a new language and choose a random app or platform to get started, but most people end up forgetting about it and later on just delete the app. LingoDeer is different in the sense that it doesn’t force you. It eases you into the lessons and languages you are learning and goes in-depth without confusing you. I was engaged with its simplicity and the way it didn’t confuse me right away like other apps did.

It was a really lucky find on my end since I was really struggling because some apps and platforms are really good for learning one language, and not as good for another. LingoDeer not only has many language options but also little cards and quizzes for reviewing a language.

They have a 5-minute quiz, all of vocabulary and grammar, and also knowledge cards. After you do a few lessons, you can also take a test to try to see how much you know. I really like this because I have access to all of this even without being a LingoDeer PLUS member. Something really nice is that it tracks your progress, day streaks, and achievements.

Overall, just a lovely app that’s very easy to use and navigate, and I’ve had a wonderful experience learning from it. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an app that would really help them learn a language, and to anyone who has commitment issues when it comes to learning.

Difficulties of Natural Language Processing in Machines
By: Jacobi Gunsalus
Tags: AI, Linguistics, Language, Computer Science, NLP

For humans, communicating through language is second nature, an indispensable skill that we’ve had since before we can remember. We can all understand, or “process” at least one language without giving it a second thought, so for a computer, which can calculate complex arithmetic in the blink of an eye, it should be a piece of cake. Right?

Turns out, understanding language and its nuances is much more difficult than we give ourselves credit for. Certain innate language processing abilities that humans take for granted are actually very difficult to emulate in machines. One ability that computers struggle with is correctly identifying a set of pronouns as referring to the same or different person or place. Take the characters in Winnie the Pooh, for example. When referring to Christopher Robin, Chris, and Mr. Robin, are we talking about the same person, or perhaps members of the same family? Maybe they aren’t even related at all! Although you may have been able to differentiate the three names via context clues or memories you already had of Winnie the Pooh, it is nearly impossible for computers to make those kinds of inferences.

Another example of something that doesn’t come naturally to machines is what we might call “common sense” such as taking a sentence and interpreting it correctly even though there are several other possible meanings. For example, if you say “take a seat” to your friend, they will understand that you are asking them to sit down; meanwhile, a computer might think that you mean to physically pick up a chair. Or, if you yell at your friend to “duck!” while playing soccer, your friend will understand that he/she needs to take cover from an oncoming soccer ball, whereas a computer might think you are announcing the presence of a certain web-footed creature in a nearby pond.

Getting computers to effectively process language is a challenging problem, and we still have a long way to go before computers can perfectly interpret sarcasm, gendered languages, certain sets of pronouns, and other aspects of language that we see as common sense. Just type a sentence into Google Translate, translate it into another language, and translate it back to see how imperfect modern-day natural language processing is. Progress is certainly being made, however, and this intersectional field of linguistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence will only grow more important in the upcoming decades.
Philosophical approaches: verbs and nouns in human mind

Retrieved from https://hbr.org/resources/images/article_assets/2018/10/Oct22_18_862457080.png

Verb is not a basic concept. It is actually made up of quite a lot of references to nouns. Therefore, you should be able to reduce a verb into a huge set of noun relationships to the verb itself. Therefore, human mind must work within the frame of nouns which can be directly mapped to a specific sense such as a vision, tactual sensation or sound in my opinion. Thus, if we assume this as a fact, flows or much more explicitly any concept including a temporal function cannot be mapped into a single sense including the time concept itself.

Hypothetically, the ‘time sense’ should not be a native feature of the human brain since this is case is correct. It could be probably related to an external sense but still valid within human body and mind. The beats of the heart is a great example for this and if the brain uses the heart beats as a time sense, all the flows are related to that concept which also makes them subjective. We can also empower the argument by giving a real life example. Children tend to feel time passes more whereas the adults feel it a little bit slower. The reality behind this example should be the decrease in the beat count while they are aging.

All in all, we can assume that verbs are not pure and simple concepts so they can be resolved into noun like words and therefore human mind may not be actually using flows. Instead, it could be more focused on static nouns which is a parallel theory to quantum today.
3 Things Americans Can Learn From Wonder Woman 1984
By: Cristian Nunez
Tags: Politics, Language, Philosophy, Culture, Film

Wonder Woman officially dropped during Christmas. The movie comes at a definite time in history, especially for those living in the US. While there is a lot to learn from the movie’s storyline, I must warn you of the movie spoilers ahead. DISCLAIMER, MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

Wonder Woman movies are unlike any other. They are not only what the world needs, but they come in at a good time in our society. They carry a message that resonates with the masses in many aspects. It pushes the audience to ask themselves the question — what would I do? — if I were to be in that situation.

The truth here is that WW84’s plot story is not that different from what we have today. While I do not mean that literally, we have some of the elements present in our real history. There is a loose lunatic disposing of public services at the expense of human lives. Propaganda has pushed citizens to be wary of what is real and what is fake news. And more importantly, there is an important question you should be asking yourself right now: What would you do if you had the chance?

But you know that too. The real question here is, what would you do if you were Maxwell Lord? What would you do if you had the chance to enact real change? Would greed consume you? Or would you pay it back to the universe by wishing well upon everything?

Unfortunately, this is not an enigma for us. Our capitalist system has allowed a few to have that feeling, and we have seen how it goes.

A huge study of 50 years of tax cuts for the wealthy suggests ‘trickle-down’ economics makes inequality worse. These people have had the chance, and after 50 years, it has not helped the average American. It never will.

Popular Medium writer, Tim Denning, writes it better in his article about [The Biggest Wealth Transfer in History…],

How you think determines your ability to access the wealth transfer. The world will be fine, of course — but the world will look different. Some people will walk away with huge amounts of wealth for doing very little. Others will walk away with less than they had before this monumental event began last September.

COVID-19 has caused stock markets to crash while it has provided others the opportunity to soar. In this social uprising, the world needs you to have a Wonder Woman mindset. The truth needs to prevail over everything else because that is the only way to maintain a healthy balance.

As Wonder Woman puts it, “nothing good is born from lies.” While 2020 has been a devastating year for everyone, there are some harsh truths we all must accept:

Teaching experience

Tags: Teaching, Class, Experience, Korean

The week has come where we have to teach the language we learned to our classmates. During this process we had to create a teaching plan that was suitable for an extension of two separate days. The lesson we have to teach is approximately one hour long. As a group we discussed on what type of words we would teach our classmates. Hence, We thought why not teach how to ask and reply when asking for directions. As the language we are going to be teaching is Korean we thought it will be useful to learn direction due to the fact that as a country Korea annually has a plethora of Taiwanese people visiting during vacation.

The day before we had to teach was when we first decided to hold a group meeting in order to decide which two member would go up and become the Korean teacher. The first two teachers chosen will be in charge of teaching vocabularies and sentences used. The way we decided on the members was by lottery which somehow I ended up getting chosen. For my teaching part I got picked to become the teacher of showing how to use certain sentences to ask for direction. On the day of teaching I was well prepared for my content and I had previously rehearsed what was need to say towards my “students”. While teaching I was a confident when I was pronouncing the words as I had asked my Korean friends to teach my and I had also asked a “student”. Overall the process of teaching was going occurring the how we planned the lesson.

Improvement: If I could redo something on that that would have improved the classroom teaching experience would be to add a different activity for the students to do. Learning a language is very difficult if you do not having prior experience or you have never approached it before. Therefore we used the method of constant repetition to install the word into their minds, it might seem boring but we believe that it is the most effective way for students to memorize the phrases. I thought that it we did not teach so many vocabulary or phrases and added a small activity it would have lighten up the students and emotion in the classroom. However, what we taught were necessary for the next lessons plan and that means that it needs to remain unchanged if we limit hour teaching to one hour.
