90 Days of Code: 4 Days Down

What’s up everybody. It’s day 4 of my coding Bootcamp and I’m honestly tired of writing. Between a full-time job, juggling freelance projects, protecting my mental health, and dodging COVID… I’m honestly exhausted. It’s currently after 11 pm and I’m pressed to get today’s update out before the day is over. I made the commitment to document every day though, so that’s what I’m going to do.

That’s the reality of this process. Change can be very hard, and it’s just so easy to revert back to what is comfortable. We want to take the road of least resistance. However, if I was content with my reality, I would not be seeking such a change. At times like this, I rely on my first post of this series.

What am I doing this for again?

“ I want to have a hand in creating the technology that is going to shape the next 20 years of my life.” — Cameron Caldwell

“My motto is that I wish to design the culture I want to see.” — Cameron Caldwell

Both of the above quotes are signed and cemented in internet stone. I made a promise to myself that I can’t break again.

Today’s lesson was a continuation of my dive into CSS. This module introduced classes and ids.

I won't get into the weeds of these two today, but rest assured that I have a pretty solid understanding of the two. A couple of things to note, however:

An id can only be used to identify one element. For example, if I gave the “heading” id to <h1>, then I could not give the “heading” id to <h2>, <h3>, or any other tag.

<h1 id=“heading”>My Heading</h1>

When recalling on my CSS page:

#heading {

}

On the other hand, I can assign the same class to multiple elements, as well as assigning multiple classes to a single element. For example, if I assign two classes to an image, it would look like this:

<img class=“main large” src= example.com>

main and large being the two classes attached to the image.

When recalling on my CSS page:

.main{

}

.large{

}

We also touched on pseudo-classes. These are phantom states or specific characteristics of an element that can be targeted with CSS. One of the most common examples would be the hover state for when a mouse hovers over an element. These classes are denoted with a colon, ex. :hover

It’s 11:50pm now. Thank you for following along this far, and I look forward to a more lighthearted update tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your day.

90 Days of Code: Third Time’s the Charm

The moment we’ve all been waiting for.

No?

Maybe just me 🤷🏾‍♂️

After committing to this for three days, I definitely feel like it’s becoming apart of my schedule. In today’s module, I finally learned how to give my website a little style upgrade. CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is the styling code used to style markup languages such as HTML. Meaning, CSS cannot exist by itself. It has to be associated with a markup document.

The grammar, or Syntax, of CSS is also different than HTML. To make a declaration, it has to be in the format of:

Selector { property : value; }

This stylistic information can be inserted into the website using the following methods:

External CSS

Internal CSS

Inline CSS

There’s a hierarchy to the different methods of inserting CSS. Web browsers like Google Chrome follow this hierarchy so I had to be careful that I used the correct method at the correct time.

External CSS is code that lives on an external file within your web project that you link to on each page. The benefit of having a separate file that determines the style of a website is that we don’t have to make those declarations individually. Coding takes enough time as it is. If I can declare my Headings are Blue and 20px only one time and it translates to all 80 pages, I’m happy.

As you will see below, I have styled my CV page slightly using the External CSS method. Does my future in UI Design look bright?

Remember it without any CSS 👇🏾

Internal CSS is primarily used when a webpage has a unique style to it. This code is placed within a <style></stlye> tag and is used to make changes to all tags of the same type on a page to save time. Imagine having 15 headings on one page and having to change the color, alignment, size, etc. of each one individually. You would take as long to code a website as it takes me to write these blog posts. Inline CSS helps by making those changes simultaneously on a specific page like the below code:

<style>

h1 {

color: blue;

margin-left: 20px;

}

</style>

Look at an example of bypassing External CSS and customizing it for my Contact page using Internal CSS:

As the name suggests, Inline CSS is placed within a specific tag line. For example, if I want to style the H1 Heading of a singular paragraph to be the color red, I would expand the <h1> tag and write <h1 style=”color:red;”>.

I can also add multiple CSS declarations to a single line as displayed here:

<h1 style=”color:red;text-align:center>

This is not the ideal method unless you want to style something on a page very specifically like a single Heading.

Day 3 is in the books. Keep following along as we continue down this rabbit hole of alphanumeric combinations that make your head spin. Next lesson, we’re going to dive deeper into CSS.
The new rules of business networking

Tags: Business, Professional Development, Pandemic, New Rules, Networking

Professional networking during a pandemic poses a unique challenge. Gone are the opportunities to exchange business cards at a breakfast event, or ask an influential figure in your field for a quick chat over coffee. Elevator pitches are no good when offices are deserted and people prefer to use the stairs. And working from home makes it much harder to schmooze the boss, or other senior managers, during a break in a meeting. And yet, months into the pandemic, those who network compulsively-and those driven to it in search of a job or career-enhancing opportunities-are still at it. How? Does it even work? We asked executives, entrepreneurs and business coaches for their take on what professional networking looks like now.

Spreadsheets Revolutionizing Business Analytics
By: Ecornell Genashtim
Tags: Online Learning Platform, Professional Development, New Normal, Elearning Development, Elearning

Spreadsheet Modelling

Businesses today has become data driven. Spreadsheets have become a part of business and their uses are not only manifold but also pervasive. All kinds of organizations use the Microsoft Office bundle extensively across all job roles and functional groups. Spreadsheets are fairly easy to employ, particularly for non-complex data analysis and calculations. They are also helpful tools to visualize simple tabular data via charts and graphs.

Transforming Data with Intelligence (TDWI) has published an article that examines the widespread use and adoption of spreadsheets in creating tangible business analytics. The article tackles on the metaphorical challenges posed by spreadsheets and it goes on to suggest solutions, taking a “All is not lost,” tone.

“Spreadsheets proliferate like poisonous vines, slowly strangling organizations by depriving them of a single consistent set of information,” TDWI’s former director for education and research stated. The simile rings true even as today’s challenges in spreadsheet modelling and usage persist, especially amid the existence of a plethora of layered and competing analytical tools. The poisonous vines have become terrorizing triffids that rampage through data fields. As a consequence, a trail of destruction of information assets are left behind.

By far, spreadsheets are the most popular database platform used by people in business in all analytical skills level. As far as business analytics are concerned, the collaborative nature, usability, and correctness of spreadsheets are immensely useful. From a technological standpoint, spreadsheets teach the lesson in taking the correct and augmented responsibility of data management, involving the embedding of fortified data. This will eventually enable the recording of flexible and powerful data which dovetails with the analytical and operational milieus.

Intuition is not the only thing that is required to effectively solve business problems; solutions that are based on data are also needed. A business’ success depends on business analytics that identify problems, compare, forecast, and make decisions.

Take advantage of eCornell Business Analytics program to up your ante in spreadsheet usage to come up with tangible business analytics within database management and data integration systems. This is especially useful for leaders in analytics who are looking to convert data science to data engineering.

Digital Marketing for Growth

In the digital age and just like in any other era, businesses must strive to drive sales results. Chief marketing officers (CMOs) must develop an affinity for digital tools and solutions to market their products and services. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the marketing process has been revolutionized and its landscape has permanently changed.

Tech Wire Asia published an article written by Adlina AR about strategies to consider when marketing with AI. The article examines how AI enables marketers to automate the marketing process to analyze various sets of data. In addition, the AI’s ability to generate tangible and in-depth insights for marketing decision-making was discussed; the end goal is to come up with interoperable networks between them.

To augment digital marketing by employing AI, marketers can use the following strategies:

Develop a business framework that supports AI implementation in digital marketing. The business framework must also reflect a long-term deployment of an integrated plan for digital technology with solutions streamlined into the marketing processes.

Measure the return on investment (ROI) using advanced analytical capabilities that AI offers, generating real-time insights and pull data patterns. This will provide clear, data-driven statistics that reflect staff productivity, engagement, and teams’ efficacy.

Marketers ought to create a marketing strategy that can be re-modeled to suit different products, making them sellable on their own. Automating marketing designs and processes must be done in a way to accumulate and pull customers organically — this is a growth marketing strategy. When leveraging AI in your growth market strategy, explore these three stages:

supervised learning

unsupervised learning

reinforced learning

Although AI is great, leveraging it in growth marketing is not always easy. You are invited to enroll in the eCornell Growth Marketing program to equip yourself with the factors and skills involved in fostering growth marketing implementation.

Strong Communication Skills for Employers
By: English Medium
Tags: Professional Development, Corporate Team Building, English Learning, Business English

Strong Communication skills for Employers is an essential requirement to increase productivity and maintain strong interpersonal relationships at work. Employers who pay attention to these little things enjoy the benefit of having good relationships with their employees and avoid the probability of errors due to miscommunication.

Employers who invest time in making their instructions appropriately clean and concise, boost the productivity of the organization which ultimately boosts the morale of the employees leading to better work relationships and teamwork.

5 reasons why employers should have strong communication skills

Improves Team Work

Efficient teams can only be build using strong communication skills. If employees freely interact with each other, they are bound to develop a rapport. This will also increase the level of understanding between them and thereby increase efficiency and boost morale.

Quick Decision Making

When you are fluent in a language, it indicates that you have clarity of thought and the ability to articulate your thoughts very well. This shows that you are a clear-minded person who can very well take strong firm and quick decisions as per the need of the hour. Strong Communication skills for Employers are therefore extremely crucial as they indicate strong leadership skills.

Increases Growth

Strong Communication Skills for Employers are also important as they assist in the growth of the employer, employee and the firm. In any firm, big or small, both lines of internal and external communication need to be clear. The firm at all times needs to present an image of itself of positive growth within the organisation for the sake of reputation. This can only be ensured if there is clear communication between all the levels of the organisation and that each employee and employer is on the same lines.

Strong Management

When managers are strong communicators, they are better able to manage their teams. The delegation of tasks, conflict management, motivation and relationship building (all key responsibilities of any manager) are all much easier when you are a strong communicator. Strong communication is not just the ability to speak to people but to empower them to speak to each other. Facilitating strong communication channels are key.

Gives everyone a voice

As mentioned above, employee satisfaction can rely a lot on their having a voice and being listened to. Whether it is in regards to an idea they have had or about a complaint they need to make. Well established lines of communication should afford everyone, no matter their level. The ability to freely communicate with their peers, colleagues and superiors.

Strong Communication Skills for Employers are the key to becoming a good boss or leader. Practice being more empathetic and willing to listen.
Building Sustainable and Successful Remote Work

Remote Work

Remote work has promoted the productivity of employees within the confines of their homes. Although employees are settling into their work-from-home routines, building team culture and keeping spirits up are quite challenging. Employee disconnection and complacency often happen in the realm of remote work. Hence, synergies that nurture remote teamwork and employees’ self-motivation are critical.

Education Elements has published a blog post outlining how stumble-blocks revolving around remote work can be addressed. The article says that it takes strategic adjustments and renewed workplace policies that are unprecedented in their scope to create and sustain remote work. In addition, the challenges posed by remote work are fortunately surmountable. With a few new idea implementations, remote workers can be as productive as on-site workers.

Create new traditions and rituals to keep remote workers connected, maintaining a sense of normalcy is a priority as humans are creatures of habit.

Establish strong co-worker relationships and build cross-teams trust. It is necessary to engage workers, given that worker engagement is done differently in a remote work setting. Small ways like virtual sharing spaces to nurture team bonding can go a long way in sustaining effective remote work.

Use professional development to build cohesion and innovation through the spirit of ’continuous learning’.

Build a remote work culture that facilitates consistency and open communication. Use virtual communication and collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams, Yammer, Zoom, or Skype to provide updates, resources, inter alia in your remote work spheres.

The popularity and necessity of remote work are expected to rise even after the COVID-19 situation has been contained as virtual work environments prove to be advantageous for everyone. It is important to identify future trends in remote work and assess key factors that make remote work successful. After that, you will be able to implement the elements of sustainable remote work programs that would best fit your company.

As organisations worldwide scramble to respond to the remote work phenomenon, you can learn how to do it competitively by enrolling in eCornell’s Social Media in HR: From Policy to Practice program.

My daily med: Are you a writer if no one reads your stuff?
Tags: Performance, Short Form, Writing, Professional Development, Personal Growth

My daily med: Are you a writer if no one reads your stuff? I had always intended to be a writer, a novelist. But I learned early on, when I wrote half a bad book in college, that I didn’t actually know anything and it showed in my writing. But then I got sidetracked by joining a band even though I didn’t know how to play the bass I bought the next day. Long story short, we learned, wrote a ton of bad songs and few catchy ones, and three months later I found myself on stage in front of a couple of hundred drunken kids. I loved it.

So, when I started writing more seriously it was a natural assumption that if you didn’t put it out there in public, for money, you weren’t a writer. That’s been a big advantage for me: essentially learning in public.
Are You Smothering Your Ability to Be More Creative?

Are You Smothering Your Ability to Be More Creative?

Photo by Jr Korpa on Unsplash

For some of us, creativity is a constant companion. We never stop coming up with ideas, and not just for writing. I have always admired the prodigious output of artist David Hockney. I was first introduced to his work when I saw the San Francisco Opera production of Turandot. Hockney designed the sets, and they were majestic and rich and perfectly matched the pageantry of the opera. When the San Francisco Fine Arts Museums exhibited his work, I was floored at not just his prodigious output, but the depth of his creativity

“Hockney has experimented with painting, drawing, printmaking, watercolours, photography, and many other media including a fax machine, paper pulp, computer applications and iPad drawing programs.” The Brooklyn Rail,

In the same article, Hockney states that he creates anywhere about any subject using any medium, “If I suddenly think, “Oh, I’d draw that,” I pick it up [iPhone or iPad], and I can draw in black and white, in color, all kinds of marks. There’s an enormous range of things you can do, and it’s at your fingertips, literally.”

Creativity is his constant companion. Most of us aren’t able to say that. For some of us, creativity ebbs and flows. We hit creative streaks and then it dries up. We do everything we can to prime the pump, sometimes with few results. What do the Hockneys of the world have that we don’t? What do they do that’s different?

Maybe the better question is: Are we doing something that they don’t do? Here’s how we may be smothering our creativity.

A Lesson for Burgeoning Lawyers from Dr. Seuss
By: Ryan Handlarski
Tags: Professional Development, Life In Law School

Law students, in my view, should be figuring out which area of practice interests them before law school. At the very latest, this should be done during law school and should be figured out by the time a person graduates and looks for meaningful work. This does not mean that a person cannot choose a particular area of law and then change focus after learning more about it, but to graduate from law school having not targeted an area of practice reveals, in my view, an unwillingness to make difficult decisions.

To those that would argue with me about this point, I would simply put another scenario that I contend is comparable: if you met a 27-year-old that told you that they did not know if they wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer, would it be impressive? For me, it would signal a lack of direction to that point in the person’s life and a lack of doing the kinds of things that are necessary in order to make that decision and that those things signify being an adult. I do not consider it any different if I meet a 27 year old who has finished law school and tells me that they are not sure if they want to be a criminal lawyer or a corporate lawyer. That is not a problem that I have any interest in assisting with.

There are many things that a person can and should do to avoid this problem. The advice I would give to law students and pre-law students is to meet with lawyers, go to court, go to tribunals, ask questions, send e-mails and really try to figure out what area of practice interests you and where your skills and abilities lie. In exactly the way that it is unimpressive to me when someone tells me they do not know what they want to do, it is very impressive to me if someone is able to articulate why they are interested in a particular practice area and what they have done to cultivate that interest and arrive at that conclusion. It is also such a vital task because there is little to no overlap between the different practice areas in law.

The law schools, in my view, are not very good at providing resources to focus students on a particular practice area. A lot still depends on the student and his or her own initiative. Nonetheless, we are all ultimately responsible for ourselves and it is often amazing to me when I meet with law students how little they have actually done to figure out which area of practice they are interested in. Whenever I encounter this situation, I always think of Dr. Seuss and his lesson for children: it may not be easy, but you have to make a decision or risk heading to a most useless place, the Waiting Place.
10 things to quit immediately…
By: Sohail Zindani
Tags: Success, Work, Life, Life Lessons, Professional Development

Yes, immediately. It’s urgent and important. You can thank me later. Let’s act. Let it go! The life is too short to be wasted on stuff that doesn’t matter — at all.

What people think of you. That’s none of your business. Let ‘people’ do their job. You do yours! Acting as if you are powerless. And when you act too often, you become powerless. Act responsibly. Response-Ably. Fear of failure. Fear of failure is funny. It distracts you from controlling what you can and deprives you from celebrating what’s available right now. Need for control and certainty. Need for speed is ok but need for control and certainty is illusionary. That’s not how things are designed by nature. Start enjoying uncertainty. Comparison. With whom? When? On what basis? Under what circumstances? Comparison is perhaps the most vicious attack on our happiness. Busyness as status symbol. You are busy — good. Try to improve on how you organize your day. Bragging about how busy you are is funny. It’s like bragging about what you should be actually ashamed of. Self-doubt. Clarity… Build clarity. Don’t underestimate yourself. Self-confidence. Clarity… Build clarity. Don’t overestimate yourself. Always in control posture. It’s ok to be nervous. It’s ok to feel bad. It’s ok to feel sad. These are human emotions. Only Allah is in control. Don’t fake control. It eats you more than it serves you. “It’s my right” mindset. The world is chaotic because we are all focusing on rights. The world will be a more compassionate, joyful place to live if “it’s my right” mindset shifts to “it’s my responsibility”.

Share it with others. Share it with your loved ones. Share it with those you don’t love much.

Stay blessed. Live Awesomely.
How Did I Win? One of the Most Important Questions We Must Ask.
By: David S Wang
Tags: Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Business, Professional Development, Real Estate

One thing that I’ve learned about building businesses is not how well you do during the hot seasons.

To be proud of one’s accomplishments during those times is like shouting about your golf game with a 30 stroke handicap as one of the greats.

There is a simple question that I myself when I find success or accomplishment…

Was that just a lucky find…because even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

To know how you found and accomplished success is one of the most important yet undervalued self-improvements a person can do for him/her self.

Why we don’t do isn’t the question.

How we can make that a discipline is a more valuable question BECAUSE it can give you the forward momentum that you’ve been wanting.

These are insights that give you direction on what to improve on, recognize new opportunities, and strengthen your confidence.

If you don’t have an X-FACTOR behind your classic pitch, you don’t have anything special.

What are you doing to improve your performance?

Do your clients or targeted prospects know what you’re working on?

Remember that becoming KNOW, TRUSTED, and PROFITABLE doesn’t have to be complicated when you have a strategic and aligned game plan.

Everyday (I mean every day) Cydne E. Washington and I are doing the heavy lifting for ourselves so we aren’t consuming low-level content but refreshing and creating something better and futureproofing for all of us.

90 Days of Code: Table for Two
By: Cam Caldwell
Tags: Tech, JavaScript, Coding, Professional Development, HTML

Photo by Zarak Khan

Do you see what I did there? It’s day two and I learned how to create tables 🤣

Today’s lesson consisted of creating Tables <table> and Forms <form> in HTML. Tables are great ways to structure information in a way that makes it more legible or to organize sections of a website. Forms act as a method to allow visitors of a website to send information through to the website owner. I was also introduced to HTML attributes like <cellspacing> and <border> to make the data in my tables easier to read. While this is not the suggested method to do style my tables, I have not yet learned CSS so it will have to do. When thinking about a website, the code tends to break down like this:

HTML is for structure

is for structure CSS is for styling

is for styling Javascript is for behavior

Until I start to cover CSS and Javascript, my website will not be aesthetically pleasing or be able to “do” much. Baby steps though.

Below is a screenshot of my CV page, and as you will see, my Work Experience and Skills sections contain tables in them. Under Work Experience, one column includes the date that I held each position and the other column includes the company and position held. This layout is important for readability. Under Skills I separated the skill from my skill level; indicated by the ⭐ ️emoji.

The second half of today’s lesson was about inserting fillable forms into a website. The form doesn’t actually work yet (remember that requires Javascript). However, I was able to create the skeleton and have it do something. Check out that beauty and its code below 👇🏾

I want to highlight a few things that are included in this form’s code.

I typed my personal email into the <form action> attribute to tell the form where I would like the submissions sent. Messages have to be sent somewhere, right? Also, note that each textbox has a label so users know what is required of that area. The textbox for Type Message: is considerably larger than the prior textboxes to accommodate the sender’s entire message. For this, I used the <textarea> tag instead of the <input> tag to allow for multi-line inputs.

We also created a repository on Github so that I can host my website somewhere for the time being. Up until this point, it was only available locally on my computer. I’m not completely sure how Github works, but everybody who’s ever written a line of code talks about it. Once I generate my website link, I will add it back here for everyone to see my progress.

Okay, day two is in the books. Stay tuned because things are about to get really colorful in the next module. I’m about to be introduced to CSS.
Gamifying Conferences
By: Vriti Saraf
Tags: Teaching, Conference Planning, Professional Development, Gamification, Education

In the frenzy of the pandemic, most chose virtual platforms that were easiest to access. But what if we bend the borders of our video calls and re-conceptualize tested platforms that are already human-centered?

Why not host conferences in Minecraft or Fortnite?

Based on the reasons people enjoy conferences, we think there are four essential components to conferencing.

Chance Encounters

We know networking is one of the main reasons people attend conferences. With a standard, video-enabled platform, it can be difficult to meet new people organically. So, the first thing conference organizers should optimize for are “chance encounters”.

Multiple Activity Types

During in-person conferences, attendees have the option of choosing between a variety of activities — from keynotes to small workshops, to meeting people at the bar, to taking a nap in their hotel room. When virtual conferences consist of back to back webinars, there’s little agency for attendees. Instead, what if attendees could choose their own learning adventure?

Right Size & Right Content

With sliding revenues due to the pandemic, one-size fits all webinars with 1000+ audience members became the cost-effective go-to. Large group energy is important, but we also know small group sessions where participants walk away with concrete applications to push ideas are an integral part of conferencing. A combination of large groups, small groups, macro, and micro content is the way to go.

Access & Wayfinding

If access and wayfinding are done well, attendees barely notice them. The final component we believe conference organizers should consider is operational user experience. The emotional and cognitive landscape of human engagement should be unencumbered by technical discomfort.
90 Days of Code: First Day is Done and I Didn’t Pass Out
By: Cam Caldwell

Photo by Wesley Eland

We’re continuing the saga of my 90 Days of Coding, and I’m happy to announce that I managed to survive. There were no broken fingers, and my already failing eyesight wasn’t compromised any further.

In Module 1 I dove into the following basic topics:

The anatomy of a tag

How to structure HTML

Insert lists, images, & anchor tags/links

Build a personal website

I’m using an open-source (free to use) software called Atom to write the code. It’s pretty simple to use, has a nice interface, and I can install packages that make coding a lot easier.

I started by creating a folder on my computer where all of my webpages will be found. From there, I created a New File (webpage) and got to writing. Apparently, it’s common practice for the homepage of a website to be named index.html. So, as you will see, index.html is the main page that I will access other pages from. Having used web-builders like Wix, I didn’t come into this module completely blind. I understood what headings<head> and the body<body> of a website were.

Each time I created a new page, I used something called a boilerplate. This is a section of code that is on every webpage and doesn’t change. Using a boilerplate saves a lot of time because I don’t have to type out the structure of each page every time I create a new one. It also prevents me from accidentally forgetting to add something that is crucial to the website. Each HTML page uses the same general format —<!DOCTYPE html> <html>, <head>, <meta>, <title>, <body>

The task for this module was to create a personal website that included your name, role, short bio(don’t ask), a headshot, and links to other pages. We are focused on fully understanding the structure of a website.

Here is my VERY basic HTML homepage:

Here is that page’s code:

If you notice at the bottom of this page, there are hyperlinks that take you to View my Hobbies and Contact Me pages. Below are each page’s interface and code.

In the next lesson, we’re going to be creating tables and layouts. Woo Hoo! Exciting! Feel free to follow along with me on this journey and share any insights you might have. Until tomorrow 👋🏾.

How to show collaborative skills on a resume

How to show collaborative skills on a resume

“Any time I’m looking at a candidates resume, I look for words like “collaborative”. Simple enough. But what you want to see is that it’s not “I, I, I.” And that’s very common because people think that if they don’t promote themselves, they won’t be seen for what they’re actually doing.

That’s the opposite of what needs to happen when you’re working for tech companies. Something as simple as group projects. Even if you’re an experienced professional, I’m looking at you talking about team interaction. And leadership. People think leadership means management, and it doesn’t. Sometimes being a servant leader, get my hands dirty and play my roll, is more effective.

But I go beyond the resume. I’ve had instances where someone is great on paper, but if I brought them onsite, my hiring managers would be perturbed. Because that person would not be able to get that you have to collaborate and be comfortable with group thought.”

Shaken, not stirred…

A great way to make your whiskey blending more interesting is with a cocktail shaker. It is a device used to mix alcoholic beverages by shaking. When ice is put in the shaker this allows for a quicker cooling of the drink before serving. A shaken cocktail is made by putting the desired ingredients in the cocktail shaker and shaking it vigorously for around 10 to 20 seconds, depending upon the size and temperature of the ice.

A little shake worth every drop.

Statement

Some of them are paid APPs, and there are many free and open source as well, but the APP depends on the output value at last. These APPs have greatly helped my work and life, and they are worth it. Due to personal reasons, some paid apps are solved by student license or trial. Student certification is free and the functions are complete. The trial version also has complete functions, but there is a time limitation, but if there is a way to clear the trial record, you can always use it. Of course, if this trick is not good, you can only TNT. For paid APPs, you can buy it if you can afford it, and support genuine. Some apps on So will be replaced from time to time. When choose constantly and advance the APPs, I have a little feeling that APPs to us is just like a sword is to the swordsman, not much, but in its ease and sharpness. So choose the one that suits you, and then learn more about it, and ultimately improve your efficiency and make your work and life better.

I’ve had a couple of Topeak and Park Tool multi-tools over the years and this is by far the best. The construction is very solid and the tools are very easy to use. The case makes a great smooth handle when you are torquing down bolts. I haven’t had to use the chain tool yet but it seems pretty typical for a multi-tool. The only concern I had was that it would rattle around but I haven’t heard it in my Camelbak.
