Adobo (not gravy version) recipe:

1 parts white vinegar : 2 parts soy (the reduced salt version also works) : 3 parts water (you’ll need to add more later if you use a lidless pot and it boils off)

Pork (basic option, I use chops since they tear apart nicely later anyway) or chicken (breasts tear nicely later as well, makes the whole dish sweeter so adjust taste as required)

Minced garlic (I use the jarred version for convenience, heaping spoonfuls - I usually go with 2)

Black pepper (bunch, go wild this soup is made of vinegar and soy sauce)

Bay leaves (3-4 and remove before serving, optional if it’s a pain to get but very nice if you have it)

Brown sugar (2 spoonfuls to start, you’ll more than likely add more later as this and water are our primary flavor controls)

If it tastes too sour, add brown sugar. If that doesn’t work, add more water. I honestly haven’t had to do anything else to corral the flavors, but I’ll happily experiment with suggestions.

Boil Like The Soup. Once the meat is safe to eat, it’s basically ‘done’. Typically I’ll let it go a few hours of stewing in the tasty juices while jacking with the flavor every 30min or so, but that’s because I enjoy it. Much like stew, it’s also way tastier reheated the next day or if it cooks a bit longer.

Serve over rice, or potatoes. Adding chopped potatoes directly to the pot can also help with the salty soy, but I’ve done it like once and can’t fully vouch (tasty tho). Broccoli is also fun ‘cause it disintegrates and adds textures, but they do slurp a lot of juice while whole and that can be kinda unpleasant to bite into (a sopping mess of salty sour mush).

Minor warning: the fumes may steal your nose hairs, so take general steam precautions because this steam has extra weapons.

Writing Update (09/22/23)

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I made one of these, huh? 👀

I've spent the past few weeks settling back into university work, but now I'm back into the swing of writing and developing things. So I thought I would take this chance to clarify some things, and lay down what the future of The Exile is gonna look like.

The Public Demo is now done. Chapter Five is the last chapter that you'll be able to play for free until the game is finished. Right now, I am working on rewriting what is written and porting the game into Twine. This means I'm expanding scenes, adding variation and flavor text, fixing stubborn lingering bugs, and implementing a codex + optional flashback scenes (*cough* and art *cough*) into the game. This will take a while.

I'm not just copy and pasting things into Twine and changing the coding-- I'm polishing things, adding lore and info, and overall just making the game significantly more "put together" so-to-speak. The version of The Exile that's up right now has been the Alpha Version of the game, It's never been properly edited beyond fixing glaringly obvious typos, continuity errors, and bugs. Now, I'm working on actually implementing broader, more complex changes into the game based on feedback I've gotten over the coarse of the past two years of writing!

My hope is to release the Twine Demo at some point around January. But that's a goal, not a deadline. I'll likely take in more beta readers for the Twine version of the game at some point, and post the Twine build onto my Patreon more casually in the following months. I'll delve more into both of things, however, when the time comes.

My hope is to be as transparent as possible and try to be more active on here as I work on things, so expect to see writing updates once more! Though they'll likely be quite short, functioning just to keep you guys updated on what's going on ~*behind the scenes*~

That's all for now, and thanks for reading! :)

Rewrite Progress [Prologue] The entirety of the Prologue is being rewritten and expanded upon.

Expanded the Jamie + Lnyla encounter in the woods (scene has three main variations, and can end in 4 different ways! And Jamie is less of a little brat <3)

[WiP] Expanding Vethna's intro scene-- there are two main variations, and there will likely be more than one way for the scene to end this time...

Added codex entry for magic-users

Added codex entry for Vrithka

Added codex for blood magic

Working on overhauling and simplifying stats (the main focus with be MC's combat stats, along with MC's personality + commanding style)

Debating adding a sort of optional "personality test" that will tell you what mythosi your MC would be based on their personality!

_____________

don't you just hate it when you think you're doing a tiny side project that starts turning into a whole ass world building universe?

..anyways, i decided to expand upon argonus a bit more; more specifically, make the biomes more clear and add some geography. i already made a map of argonus once, but now it's time for the (more full) details.

are you ready for my nonsense rambling? ALRIGHT HERE WE GO!!!!

first of let me just say this: i am crap at making maps. I literally just googled "literal translation of countries' names" and went from there. i also just grab a photo-to-linear converter on google and then made nessisarly changes to make it workable (because converting a photo of a colored drawing to linear creates messy results), plus a few misspelling here and there. but I'm happy with the results, cause now i really got a frame of references for when i start making more exclusive fauna and potentially stories.

anyways, as a copy planet of earth, it's not just the flora, fauna and biomes that are near-identical to us, but also the continents as well, even there's an "old world" and "new world". however, when it comes to countries, that's where it ends, because they have different names than ours (and different-looking countries).

but, before I go listing off countries, i should probably talk about language first:

so, because I lack some creativity, the elkinets do speak "common human" (aka human languages). common human, contrary to what one may believe, is not specific to humans; it's called "common human" because it's the most commonly spoken languages among humans, and has been developed independently by other sophonts across the omniverse.

some of the most common and predominate of the common human throughout the planet include: -English -spanish -Korean -Russian -Chinese -Hindi -Japanese -French -Italian -German -Arabic -Greek

however, their original language is known as "true elkinish", which has nouns, pronouns and adjectives in Latin and the rest in greek. here's how it works and sounds (example text taken from Butte collage):

[tumblr edit: italics represent latin]

english (what's latin and what's greek) The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!

true elkinish (greek & latin): O puer pue efere ego poly longo littera apomagister, kai meta puella grigora. O thee! if this is too complicated, that's ok. most humans (and other earthfolk that come here) usually learn the Latin parts. most countries speak common human (which correlates to where they live, ie Chinese in center kingdom), however true elkinish is still taught and spoken throughout the planet. most developing countries/indigenous tribes still use this original language as their primary language.

finally here are what the continents called, and the countries that make up them:

OCEANANA INDUS ISLANDS (indonesia), 8 countries: 1-Isle Indus 2-Rogdeginta 3-Lesser Indus 4-Guinea Centura 5-North Minor Centrua 6-Major Centrua 7-South Minor Centrua 8-Milva

List of Works: Blurbs, one-shots, multi-part works, and everything in between. This will most likely be updated on a regular basis, every few days, twice a week sometime around that time.

Prompt List: This is a list of different quotes and different situations/tropes that I created for you guys to pick from to hopefully make requesting things easier. All you have to do is copy and paste the quote and say with what character you want or you can just put the number next to the quote or situation.

Character List: All the people I write for, fiction and non-fiction from all types of works and genres. This will most likely be updated on a regular due to my fascination of new books, movies and television shows.

Little Bit About Me: This is just a little thing about my past with writing, my past in general, my pronouns, my relationship status. Things that if you wanna know, it's here, if not, I don't mind either.

Do Not Interact List:

Hello! Below you will find a list of things that I will not write, no questions asked. Please read this carefully before making requests.

Negative sexual situations- This includes rape, non-con, or anything revolving around mean/angry sexual situations, it's extremely triggering. Occasionally I will get bothered with writing smut as I am a victim of rape and sexual assault.

Anything too dark or bordering on abusive.

Threesomes- The only three-way/polyamorous relationship I write is steddie x reader.

Self harm, addiction or active eating disorders- I don’t have to explain this, it’s triggering and something that I, and a lot of people, struggle with. I don’t want to romanticize it by making an “x reader” revolving around an eating disorder, addiction or self harm. This will depend on how I'm feeling and what I'm experiencing so bare with me.

Suicidal ideation and/or vivid thoughts of suicide- I'm not in the right state of mind, ever, to write this so please do not request it. It makes me severely uncomfortable.

Anything yandere related

Request List Information:

Requests will close after my inbox has reached thirty requests. Even if that means requests are open for a day and a half, if it hits thirty, I will be closing them.

Do not send me a book of a request please. I like to have wiggle room to actually be creative but if you guys just send me paragraph after paragraph, it's hard to actually do anything with it, expand upon anything and it's so overwhelming.

Have your ideas ready to go when they're open and I will put out a notification telling everyone that they're back open when they are!

Please be patient with me in this realm, my life is very up and down and I try to keep up on it as best as possible.

how I organize my DM notes using OneNote

a few people said they were interested in seeing how i organize my notes for the games that i run, and let’s be honest, that’s all i need to make a huge informative post. (to my players, you can look! i’ve crossed out info you shouldn’t have lol)

i use OneNote, which i *think* you can use for free online even if you don’t have microsoft. could be wrong on that though. anyway, details and screenshots are under the cut!

here are the sections i split everything into:

[ID: a menu bar showing different tabs that say Players, NPCs, World, Calendar, Sessions.]

“Players” is the least completed session for my online game because my players have uploaded their character sheets to Roll20 so I got lazy about copying that info over. but normally, this section is split into different pages for each of my players, and will have the player’s contact info, as well as their character sheet, etc. but really, the only important part of the character sheet, for my purposes, is their backstory and passive perception and insight modifiers. I will also note their relationships with NPCs here (as you’ll see in the NPC section), and keep track of their renown with various factions (i do a homebrew renown-tracking thingy to keep track of friends and enemies of the party).

next is NPCs!

[ID: a screenshot of a particular NPC’s page, Z’ress Matyl. A lot of it has been blacked out lol.]

I used to keep track of EVERY SINGLE NPC this way but it got overwhelming fast, so I only put notable NPCs here (either famous ones, ones that i expect will be around a bit, or ones my PCs will fight/fight with). i use this section to quickly remind myself who the NPC is, their class/race/alignment, what they look like, their personality and a short backstory if applicable. you can also see the little table where i keep track of relationships, and that’s how I track PC relationships too. if relevant, i keep the NPC’s statblock here as well. once i’ve created more NPCs for this campaign, i’ll organize the pages into subpages by family/faction, but i’m not quite there yet with this one!

now onto World!

[ID: a screenshot of the World tab, which includes sections titled: Sirona history, Pantheon, Dal Z’har, Iesma Empire, and World notes along with a lot of town names for each of the areas. The main text on the screen is about a small town called Sweetvale.]

as the name suggests, i keep most worldbuilding info here, including detailed info about the towns and cities the PCs visit or have been to. some towns (like Sweetvale!) have more detail than others. i also keep larger world info in this section: world history/conflicts, the pantheon and origin stories of the gods (i have a homebrewed pantheon so that’s why it’s necessary), and overarching themes and shit that are relevant to the campaign. this is also a place where i’d keep maps for my own reference if i were more organized. “World Notes” is where i furiously type ideas as they pop into my head, to later develop. i wish i could show you that section, it’s buckwild and has a lot of exclamation points, but it’s very spoilery.

onto the calendar!

[ID: the calendar tab, showing pages for the months Gelus, Tabeo, Imber, Flos, Lux, Sol, Ardor, Messis, Folium, Stella, Nox and Hiberius, all in 52 AC. The main text on the screen shows the days of the month in a table with notes of what happened on each day. The days of the week are Moonday, Treeday, Waterday, Thunderday, Fireday, Starday and Sunday.]

as you can see, i use a homebrewed calendar because of course i do. full disclosure: i stole most of those week day names from another DM because i love them. but basically the calendar for this world is a 12-month year, 28 day-month, 7 day-week, so it’s kept similar to our IRL calendar. this is where i keep my primary notes of what happens in each session. they’re brief, because 1) i have a pretty good memory for the hijinks the party gets up to, and 2) i put a lot of detail into the plans for each session so i feel like i can go more minimalist here. the most important things i note for each session are: where the party went, if they met any NPCs, the fights they had and if they obtained any special or magical items. i also use the calendar to keep track of full moons, world events and holidays in the world.

next up is Sessions!

[ID: The Sessions tab, showing a page titled “Adventures” with links to three adventures listed. On the side panel, there are sections called Adventures, Current Adventure, Campaign Notes, session ideas and Tech shit.]

“Adventures” is where I keep all the notes for past adventures (See below). I link to each paragraph (a feature of OneNote) so i can easily click and get to what i need to see. the “Current Adventure” page is where i keep notes for, you guessed it, the current session, just to minimize how much i need to scroll, and at the end of the session i cut/paste everything that we got to into the Adventures section. Campaign notes and session ideas are, again, where i furiously type notes that make no sense and need to be edited and expanded upon, haha. And Tech shit is where I put the order of stuff i need to plug in for my online sessions. i’m kind of a dummy.

below is an example of my session prep notes:

[ID: a screenshot of text showing detailed notes of Adventure 1.]

this is just to give you an idea of how detailed my notes are. they are typically this detailed, if not more so. but i know lots of DMs will basically type out a hook and a resolution and leave the middle blank for notes. it’s really up to you and how you best prep and run sessions. i err on the side of over-preparing because it’s who i am, and when i try to go into a session with less preparation, i feel overwhelmed lol. i occasionally add a few notes here and there as we play in this section, but as i said, keep most of my notes to the Calendar section.

you can also see above how i list NPCs that i expect my players to only briefly interact with. Name, age, appearance, a few notes about personality/motivation, and that’s it. OneNote is cool because you can search for specific words and phrases and it’ll search the whole notebook, so i can easily find these NPCs again if i need to. (note: normally my notes wouldn’t be this....structured? as in, they’ll be less linear than this typically, but this was for the first session where i knew which PCs i’d be introducing first, etc. don’t want you to think i’m a big old wet blanket DM.)

and that’s it! hopefully this is useful for some of you, or at least gives you ideas for how you might organize your game moving forward. IMO the most useful sections are the World, Calendar and Session sections: they’re what i reference and add to the most. let me know if you have any questions!

What is social media marketing(SMM)?

Social media marketing(SMM) is a part of digital marketing where a certain product or service is delivered through popular networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Snapchat, Youtube, Twitter, etc. Social media marketing(SMM) is basically using social sites to bring traffic to your website. It mostly includes paid campaigns and Ads.

Purpose of social media marketing(SMM)

To increase sales and enhance brand awareness.

The clear idea of creating trending content and when to use the content is another essential social media marketing (SMM) focus.

Pillars in Social media marketing- ICE

Interaction-Talking with the  existing or potential customers

Communication-Exchanging the information about service or product

Engagement- Getting customers attention’s to be in contact

History/Timeline of Social media Marketing’s Evolution

1970’s and 1980’s

During this era, people spent their time on online and dating sites. Most of them were chatrooms. Six Degrees, LiveJournal, and Friendster were popular sites back then.

1995 – 2002

In this period, internet was seen as a viable marketing tool. This motivated various brand to create websites to have an online presence. Evolution of Google, Yahoo and MSN’s  made companies to work on SEO strategies .

Blogs were preceded by the concept of  SEO Marketing. The importance of content marketing flourished.

2003 - 2004

Facebook, LinkedIn, and Myspace have now arrived. This certainly gave arousal to the businessman to connect their business and brands with billions of people. At a present moment, Facebook ads are used as marketing. Various brands are investing a lot in this marketing.

2009

Whatsapp was launched which was focused on sending text messages, photos, and voice messages through the Internet by encrypted means. Various WhatsApp features can be utilized to enhance brand awareness, and share marketing messages. Different brands use WhatsApp statuses to announce a sale or offer to customers.

2010

Instagram, a photo-sharing social media, was launched. Instagram provides an opportunity to make a professional account where we can view insights and progress of our account.

Instagram helps in introducing new products and increase brand awareness. More than 80% of users buy the items of the particular brand when they discover them on Instagram.

2011

Snapchat is a social media site where people can chat with their images and short videos.

Snapchat Stories are a great way to offer your audience a glimpse into your company culture. It allows experimenting with various filters and contents.

2016

Tiktok was launched. Here, Creativity can be seen with lip-syncing or creating a dance to a certain part of a song. You must be familiar with Batash (Nepali) dance, WAP dance, I am savage tiktoks which were used by millions of tiktokers. Influencer marketing has dominance in the TikTok market.

Types of Social media marketing(SMM)

Depending on every social networking site’s zeal and the nature of your business, there are basically two types of business.

B2C

This means Business to Customer. It implies the idea of attracting Customers and continuing with further transactions. B2C focuses on emotion-driven purchasing decisions. Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok are the channels that use this type of marketing.

B2B

This means Business to Business. B2B implies the idea of marketing a company to another bigger or higher company/business. It focuses on logical process-driven decisions. Channels like Twitter, LinkedIn are used in this type of marketing.

YouTube serves both markets.

In a nutshell,

Social networking-Connection with a large audience (Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+).

Microblogging– sharing short messages with the audience to improve engagement. (Twitter, Tumblr).

Photo sharing– sharing brand/service pictures (Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest).

Video sharing– sharing info-based content via video (YouTube, Facebook Live, Periscope, Vimeo).

Working Mechanism of Social Media Marketing(SMM)

Online Network        Relationship       Visibility         Listening        Engagement

Creating a page or profile on social media means trying to connect with more people and making an online network. Within the network, you try to build a brand-customer relation. This relation is further seen on the page as the number of users/customers keeps increasing. Having more customers means listening to their feedback, both good and bad ones, and resolving the issues. This certainly increases the engagement of a brand with the customers.

After being familiar with the mechanism of Social Media Marketing, we must know about Social media marketing strategy, which is explained in the following points

What are your goals?

Social media marketing is done to bring traffic, SEO links, Brand Awareness, Conversions (Direct Sales). You must be clear about the goals because it is necessary to determine the type of audience to whom the content is targeted for. However, the goals can be single or multiple.

Know the Target Audience

The existing audience, new customers, and potentials customers are the variety of audiences that can be attracted by social media marketing. Upon being transparent with the goals, we can get an idea of a clear mapping of target and audience.

Which Channels to  use

Here, Channels include Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, Snapchat, Twitter, Pinterest. However, there are restrictions regarding actions and differences in demographics in every channel. For example, the content we create in TikTok cannot be done on Twitter. Depending upon the reach of the product (you want), you can choose your channel.

Be Familiar with types of Engagement

Depending upon the channel, we can get the audience engaged. Images/Graphics, blogs, surveys, etc. are ways to engage the audience. For example, if you are promoting your business of scrunchies (a type of hair tie) in Tiktok, it’s better to use videos or a collection of images. The use of the blog is none of the use here.

In this article, we will find out what message mining is, what are the various methods for message mining, why is it crucial, its applications, and also more.

Each picture annotation job starts with a photo dataset. It's a kind of noting device that highlights articles or items in a photo by attracting a circle about them. Photo annotation is necessary in the advancement of things discovery designs, which are frequently utilized in computer system vision applications. With the innovation of innovation, there have actually been scarcity of information utilized by ML designs. To load this void great deal of artificial information / fabricated information is created or substitute to educate ML designs. Main information collection despite the fact that extremely trusted, is usually expensive as well as taxing and also for this reason there's an expanding need for substitute information which might or could not be precise and also copy real-world experiences. 

Message mining is a multidisciplinary area that encompasses as well as integrates the techniques of details retrieval, information mining, artificial intelligence, data, and computational linguistics. Message mining is worried about all-natural language messages that are either semi-structured or disorganized.

What are the content mining methods?

Message mining includes a collection procedures that enable you to essence details from disorganized text information. The content mining methods are:

Info Retrieval: Based upon a pre-defined establish of questions or expressions, Details Retrieval (IR) retrieves appropriate info or records. Formulas are utilized in IR systems to track individual behavior and also discover pertinent information. Info retrieval is frequently made use of in collection cataloguing systems and also noticeable online search engines such as Google. The usual IR sub-tasks consist of:

Tokenization

Stemming

Final Project Commentary

For my final project, I decided to go with the personal identity option. 

Brainstorming and planning

As mentioned in my brand guide and presentation, I wanted to encapsulate my professional strengths with my character in my brand. I love pastels and all things cute so I thought of incorporating some soft gradients and fun in my logo. 

The colour palette I shortlisted includes pink, purple, green and cream as the main colours. Pink, my favourite colour, symbolises adoration and youth. Purple and green can signify spirituality and harmony respectively. The cream shade is used to provide balance overall. (Also Taylor Swift’s Lover palette is similar and that album is a bop so...). 

My initial logo designs were as follows: 

After the peer evaluation session, I gleaned that my friends also liked the heart logo the best, but had some comments about the readability of the word “world”. They also preferred the darker shade of pink for the logo:

Hence, I made the relevant tweaks to the logo prototype before starting work on the other collaterals. 

The Logo

I knew that I wanted to utilise the heart shape in my logo somewhere because I believe in spreading joy and love. But I also wanted to make its incorporation more interesting, hence I thought of shaping my brand name into the heart. I chose Coaster as the typeface because I liked the quirky, bubblegum look of it. 

Using Adobe Illustrator for the whole logo, these were the steps I took to warp the text into the heart:

1. Creating the heart shape: Shape Tool to make 2 rectangles and pulled the edges inwards to curve them.

2. Used the Pen Tool to create a curvy shape on top of and in the horizontal centre of the heart.

3. Selected all shapes > Pathfinder > Divide.

4. Used Type Tool to create “Tricia” and “World” texts separately, using 50pt size.

5. Selected all texts > Object > Arrange > Send to Back.

6. Selected top half of heart and “Tricia” > Object > Envelop Distort > Make with top object. I repeated this for the bottom half and “world”:

9. Object > Expand

10. Changed the text colour to a two-tone pink linear gradient with the Gradient Tool. 

To create the 3D bubblegum effect I was going for, I copied the logo and pasted it in the back. Then, selecting the back layer, I changed its opacity to 80% and adjusted the front layer to the right and a bit lower. 

I also added highlights with the Pen Tool as a stroke in the cream shade for a “shiny” effect. For this, I chose a Rounded Cap (below) in the Stroke panel and traced out highlights to my liking. I also lowered opacity of these strokes to 80% for better blending:

The Resume

The next collateral I worked on was the resume. For this, I wanted to go for a neater look with some white space to aid in easy reading. I sectioned my professional info logically and positioned them within 2 columns. 

I also included a “side-bar” column in my palette’s colours created with the Free-Form Gradient Tool for contrast and emphasis since my contact info and portfolio links are located in this segment. 

The title font I chose, Honeypirls Slant, is in a style such that the spacing between certain letters is very little. So, I adjusted the kerning for the affected letters manually by holding down the Option key and using the left and right arrows to equalise the spacing between the letters. I called upon this feature whenever I used this typeface in the other collaterals like the brand guide as well to improve legibility and readability. 

Below is an example of the before and after effects of this on the sub-title text: 

I also referred to the Gestalt Principles to organise my resume’s look, more specifically, the principle of Similarity. By using different typefaces - Honeypirls Slant, Arial Rounded MT Bold and Arial Rounded for the the titles, sub-titles and body text respectively - these features will be recognised as belonging to the same category of information based on them being in the same typeface.  

I also used the rule of Proximity where there was lesser spacing between sentences in the same section as compared to the spacing between each segment. 

I used icons to represent my competency levels in the languages and IT skills sections to make it quicker to skim through and compare. 

The Name Card

For the name card, I wanted a minimalistic look that coincided with the look and feel of my resume for a consistent branding. 

To provide this similarity, I used the Free-Form Gradient Tool again to create gradient backgrounds using my colour palette for the front and back of the card. To edit the way each of the colours in the gradient appear, I clicked the “Edit Gradient” button and moved the circles representing each colour around until I was satisfied. 

I placed my logo and information in the centre of the cards without other elements surrounding them, to place direct attention towards them. 

The Brand Guide

After sketching out a rough look for the star of the show, the brand guide, I opened Adobe InDesign. I then formatted the document according to the brief, adding more features like 2 columns, column gutters, margins and bleed.  

I generally made the layout uniform by aligning text and placed elements with guides and referring to the vertical and horizontal rulers on the InDesign interface. 

To increase efficiency, I also created character styles for my titles, sub-titles and body text and named them accordingly. Since the background of the pages in brand guide aren’t the same for all sections, I reproduced these character styles in the pink, purple and white shades as well. This was to allow me to choose the best colour for the text on the specific page such that there would be substantial contrast and therefore better readability. I took care to name my character and paragraph styles properly to minimise confusion. 

Because I’m not a seasoned InDesign user, it took me significantly longer to get the hang of the software. And making the curvy shape below with the Pen Tool took me about 10 minutes... But I digress, to make the shape, I clicked and held down my mouse as I created paths and closed the path before filling it with my desired colour. 

To add a little spice to the brand guide, I created embellishments like circular texts. To make those, I used the Circle Shape Tool and held down shift to create a circle. Then, I used the Type on Path Tool to type out my desired text, adjusting the kerning, text size and size of the text box to fit them well into the circle. I also used this tool to create the curved “thank you” text on my last slide: 

Critique and Feedback

A major concern raised during the online feedback session was the contrasts between my gradient background and colour choices for my text. To be honest, this was also one of my concerns as I was making the brand guide. So, I decided to add another, darker purple shade (#7D81BE) which was used purposefully on the resume and name cards to afford for better text readability. I also lowered the opacity of my backgrounds for more contrast. 

Other minor concerns were the alignment of some my texts, which I made an effort to change and align left for a more intuitive reading flow and consistency. I also altered the structure of my resume to a top-down flow for more hierarchy in information. 

Final thoughts

I had sooo much fun making this brand guide, which I was initially quite intimidated to start on! From this project, not only did I get a better grasp on Adobe software (especially InDesign), but I also got to deeply self-reflect, exercise creativity and think strategically on how to best communicate my brand aspects in a way that’s interesting but also organised and easily comprehensible. This mod was one of the best mods I’ve taken :)

DISCLAIMER.

* ☾・ﾟ ❛ –––––This is a roleplay account for Victoria Labonair, an oc inspired by a name listed in the Labonair bible on CW’s The Originals. I originally created this muse back in late 2015 and have since spent years developing her on various rp platforms. All headcanons, while influenced by the show, were developed and / or expanded on by myself. Unless stated otherwise, like with my Legacies verse which was inspired by Prom Queen's suggestion to have Vi be a mentor of sorts to the wolves at the boarding school. Please do not take my writing and/or characterization and claim it as your own. I'm also not in any way affiliated with the show or my faceclaim Mädchen Amick. All graphics featured on my layout were created by me. Using some of the following resources: x, x, x.

MUN INFO.

* ☾・ﾟ ❛ –––––  Hiiii y’all! I’m Effie, your friendly twenty three year old Aquarius from Florida.  Just a heads up I’m a mess of a human and I tend to get overwhelmed easily so to avoid being guilt ridden over my lack of productivity on here I keep this blog’s status as low activity ﹠ mutually exclusive. Generally, it takes me a day or two to follow people back because I prefer to read everyone’s rules before following. Victoria is one of two muses I have at the moment so I can often be slow when it comes to actual replies. My work ﹠ school schedule contantly change and I do battle with depression so my activity is always sporadic af.  My discord is always available to mutuals upon request because I’m ALWAYS down to plot or chat or fangirl with y’all so feel free to shoot me a message any time ♡

ROLEPLAYING.

* ☾・ﾟ ❛ ––––– This is a multi-verse blog, I’m always open to AUs and crossovers. Unless stated otherwise every thread will be in a separate universe. Mun and Muse are 21+ so mature content will be present as well. Any content I think could be remotely triggering will be tagged (  __TW  ) . This is a multi-ship blog as well, smut will likely not be present though because I’ve never been comfortable writing it ; fade to black scenes are always better for me. As for formatting I personally prefer using super small text and icons but I know that’s not everyone’s jam so i’m totally cool with using larger text if need be. Lastly beyond small things that help move a thread along; please don’t try to godmode my character. If you want to mention something that she has said and/or done either simply shoot me an IM or make sure that it has happened in one of our past threads.

PLOTTING.

* ☾・ﾟ ❛ ––––– I prefer to plot through discord that way if I ever need to look back on what we’ve discussed it is easy to do so and I don’t have to bother you. I like to start with well plotted pre-established relationships more often than not because I find that the threads that start with them last longer. Now if you would prefer to have our characters meet for the first time in a thread then I am totally cool with that! Just let me know either way.

MEMES.

* ☾・ﾟ ❛ ––––– There is never an expiration date on my memes so go ahead and dig through the tag and send whichever ones you want. I’m also totally cool with memes turning into threads but  PLEASE copy and paste it into a new text post. If you reblog the ask itself there is 90% chance I won’t reply. I normally practice reblog karma so if I reblog four different memes I’ll likely send an ask for each one and if I feel I can’t send one from the meme I reblogged then I’ll go through your tag and send one I feel would work for our characters. Please don’t feel pressured to respond to each of them I just like to give people options.

thank you so much for reading my rules it means the world to me. I know that this is a bit long but I’m a super awkward person normally and I’ve tried to be as thorough as possible. Hopefully reading these before following me can give you a chance to run for the hills if you so wish. I promise I am a nice person though and I do hope you have a lovely week! x

Most people copy csgo accounts configs from lead players in front-thinking than adjusted one for themselves. A lot of individuals are looking for things later cs go config gain. Why ? Only because it takes a lot of concern an exploit to make one for yourself, and for most people, its hard to discharge faithfulness the meaning of all these commands. So why not copying something that is already made and tested by the best right? Well, its more plus buying the associated society as your favourite csgo accounts actor is wearing in his size, it will not fit you and will see silly in description to you. What we will comport yourself you in this article is how to acquire that comfortable organization but in your size. Most settings in CS GO CONFIG are energetic for the person who made it, hence dispensation it almost speaking alternating csgo accounts sound later the owner will find the money for you an totally exchange atmosphere of it. csgo accounts Of course, we should use common useful changes which lead players are using, bearing in mind zoomed out radar or wall wipes behind upsetting, but we can just heritage it to our enormously own config instead of copying anything as it is. We will feat out you how to pretend this!

CS GO Config Location

Lets begin behind basic things you should know following where we can locate our cs go config location and how can we make one. Valve recently complicated it a bit, because our configs are saving now in two every unorthodox directions, and it might be slightly uncertain. You can see that login in concerning smurf account where all your settings are swap. The first place where we are storing our configs is in:

\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg Inside this photograph album, you will see lots of configs and that will be our mother/source place to accrual them. The second place is recently restructure by Valve to sever config storages for new accounts used in this area the same computer. If your settings are not copying to the auxiliary account which youin savings account to speaking logging in to the same PC it means that you can locate your config in here: \Steam\userdata\00000000\730\local\cfg where 00000000 is your steam ID.

How to locate steam id?

Just log in to steam, be credited when inventory subsequently press trade offers almost the right-hand side. Next, we compulsion to press Who can send me Trade Offers? in there we will see our trade associate and numeric allocation of the unite right after /tradeoffer/auxiliary/?handbag= is your steam id. Under that strange destination, we can deliver judgment our config and video settings, consequently if we suffering to have all supplementary account to begin when same settings all that we have to make a make a get sticking to of of of is moving it to our first place the source one.

CS GO Config Pro A lot of the times I axiom CS GO players mostly the accretion one who searches for cs go config gain amalgamated.

The unqualified is that configs can not have anything super advantages inside and if they attain have something easily reached its already ably known and published a propos speaking speaking half cs go amalgamated youtube channels. Nowadays there is no habit to save some commands namelessly from others. So downloading lessening players configs is directionless, especially if not followed by the same resolved as they use,  black bars or stretched. Sometimes adjusting your video settings might be required to taste the thesame sort of experience they acquire.

Follow-Up TOMERPG Stream Notes

Click here to read on the notes I took from the previous stream!

First, let me retread over old notes with their updates!

- The three demo battles have been revealed: one with four players based on the Game Theorists, one with two TeamFourStar OCs with a special team attack, and one with three particular enemies - Rockoon, Archy, and Skeight, known collectively as the Digital Troublemakers! Rockoon has the hacking ability during this fight. - The demo team will be Alpha, Kirbopher, and Flamegirl, and they are Neutral, Technical, and Infernal respectively. - The Speaking Line tier is now set at $90, and the seven $500 slots have been split into two options: Boss and Dojo Master! There are three boss character slots and four Dojo Master slots, but the latter must all be different elements as they correspond to a region to teach the White Hat Hacker a special ability. - The types of abilities the elemental alignments cover are described more clearly this time around. Natural uses plants, wood, earth, and wind. Infernal uses fire and darkness, demonic abilities. Crystal uses water, ice, and psychic energy. Technical uses light, electricity, steel, and technological abilities. Neutral can do any of those but not as powerfully.

And now for the all-new stuff!

-The Kickstarter was delayed because a business bank account needed to be provided, and an LLC had to be established, which has not been processed yet. For this delay, the demo is being expanded upon. The overall "fun factor" wasn't there, and it needed some polish. They updated the presentation of the character's abilities, created a revised timed hit system more akin to quicktime events, and revamping the user interface to be more informative. (As of September 2nd, the LLC has been confirmed!)

- In the gameplay showcase, we go up against the newly redesigned Digital Troublemakers: Rockoon, Archy, and Skeight in their fight that will be in the demo. The battlegrid itself hasn’t changed, but a simple grassy background was added underneath the colored tiles. An HP/SP bar has been added for each party member on the top edge of the screen, with their front-facing overworld sprite as an icon along with their name. - The Strategize option allows you to defend yourself or hack your foes. - The orange tiles in the center of the battlegrid are for full-party attacks. - The two TeamFourStar DragonBall Xenoverse OCs Puddin and Dumplin were shown off, with some of their attacks being shown off. Puddin appears to be a Fighter, with a multi-hit Strike. She also has a Spirit Bomb projectile, another kick attack, a multi-colored power boost, and a rock attack that hits the entire opposing party. Dumplin seems to be a Spellcaster, with a singular punch Strike. He can shoot pizza slice projectiles, emit a blinding light from his body, psych himself up, and release a Spirit Bomb that effects the whole opposite party as well. - The four Game Theorist characters showed off their powers too! Mattheorist has his Theorist Fist as a Strike, psychic cat and shark fin attacks, a Diet Coke booster, and some ability that he crouches down to do - I can’t see any effects for it, so it’s unclear, but the Cybernetic WHH does take damage from it. He may have a green-light visor on that does something. Stephastream’s Strike is a Stab and a Half, a flashlight beam, a tea heal, and a plushie attack. Gaijingoom slashes with his katana, unleashes glitchy projectiles, a leaping downward strike, a defensive booster, and a ninja-like sneak attack. Ronnieditor’s Strike is a kick, and his other abilities seem to be some blue energy wave attack and “acting sheepish”. - Jourdan Lasko and Crescent Roads are coming to make the graphics and they’re beautiful. - Every character starts with two special attacks and can gain up to six by the end of the game with the help of the Dojo Masters. - The three $500 boss characters will be part of an enemy guild relevant to the plot, presumably more black-hat hackers. - If a person donates to have their own original character put into the game, they are required to sign an “Assignment of Rights” contract, which will be distributed via a Kickstarter survey once the donation window closes. It simply means you are allowing Chris and his team to put your character or your likeness in the game; it does not mean they will own the rights to it. - Along with the survey/contract, it is there that you will be able to describe your OC/likeness via text, reference images, etc. with their appearance, race, class, elemental alignment, and an idea of their abilities. If you donate to be a $500 character, you will be in direct communication with Chris to debate over your character’s setup, but while the rest are up to him in the end, there is plenty of creative freedom to be used. - There will be a few sidequests and minigames! - There are sprite/talking avatar-based cutscenes, but no immediate plans for fully-animated scenes. - While voice actors aren't being auditioned/you yourself cannot voice your character, you can possibly suggest the sound of their voice along with the rest of their info. - Voiceover in the middle of battle isn't going to be repeated clips of dialogue, rather it would play out like a small cutscene with predetermined lines. - Traps can be laid on the battlegrid. - As of now, the characters won't "level up" or gain experience points; their strength will be equipment-based. - There's more than one ending intended...

- Got new official HD art of the White Hat Hackers!

- Some not-HD promo art of the Troublemakers!

- A look at the overworld map, which is comprised of regions analogous to each elemental alignment! All that is known is each area has a hub town, each of which we can clearly see on the map.

- The two TeamFourStar OCs, Puddin and Dumplin!

- The four Game Theorist characters: Mattheorist, Stephastream, Gaijingoom, and Ronnieditor!

Updated tier list: $15: Get a credit in the game $30: Get an overworld sprite/a copy of the game $50: Get an overworld sprite AND a copy of the game $90: Get an overworld sprite with a speaking line & talking avatar AND a copy of the game $200: Get all of that plus the ability to battle your character as an enemy. $350: Battle your character in a special segment of the game. $500: Battle your character as an enemy Boss OR as a Dojo Master!

Again, the $500 tier is limited to three bosses and four Dojo Masters of each element. The special enemies and the normal fightable characters have a larger limit of around 100 or so. The speaking lines will have some larger limit than that, and the basic overworld sprites are unlimited. Also, if you donate $500 but the seven slots have already been processed, you can choose any of the other tiers and still donate that amount of money. You can always change your pledge on Kickstarter later. The Kickstarter campaign will go for at least 30 days, and only one character/tier per donor (for now).

That’s all I’ve got! See you around for the Kickstarter and the demo!

PPC advertising and marketing could offer your business an adaptable, budget-friendly strategy for broadening and tweaking inbound list building campaigns as your firm endeavors right into brand-new industries or targets new customers. While PPC provides several affordable advantages, it is not simply a "collection and also fail to remember" advertising and marketing method. Improperly picked key phrases, ineffective call-to-action, as well as an absence of alignment between ad duplicate as well as landing page could sink your Pay Per Click high quality score, increasing campaign costs, reducing ad direct exposure and also inevitably blowing your internet marketing budget.

Why PPC Ad Alignment Matters

Your PPC quality score is necessary not only as a vital indicator of previous Pay Per Click campaign efficiency, yet additionally as a forecaster of future performance. Google utilizes your quality score to determine the quality and also performance of your PPC projects. The higher your score, the much more "pertinent" your advertisement content. Ultimately, greater racking up ads equate to lower advertising and marketing expenses, raised advertisement exposure, and also much better advertisement positioning.

Alignment matters - and also we do not just mean the wheels on your car. Worldwide of Pay Per Click advertising and marketing, the positioning of key words, phone call to action and landing page design is key to driving clicks and also conversions. Could your Pay Per Click high quality rating make use of a tune-up?

Follow these 10 PPC continuity finest practice suggestions:

1. Think beyond keyword match. Yes, key words are essential and ought to be constant across all elements of your Pay Per Click campaign. However in the press to locate and maximize the very best performing keywords, it's all as well easy to appear like a computer system as well as not a human. What happens if you were talking with your customer on the phone or in person? What would be the tone as well as mood of your conversation? Match the landing page duplicate, graphics, images, video clip, etc. to the tone and also state of mind that would certainly be conveyed in an everyday conversation.

2. Segment your ads. From geo-targeting to demographics, Google AdWords offers lots of advanced segmentation choices for better linking with your target consumer. Utilize these advanced segmentation tools to create ads for certain consumer groups. For example, if your business sells exquisite pizza, you will intend to create one AdWords campaign targeting workplace workers looking for a quick lunch and a second campaign targeting university trainees that are food craving a late-night study break. You could do this by regulating the time of day various ads will be shown or even geo-targeting the postal code connected with your regional college campus versus the postal code related to your city's downtown business district.

3. Enhance landing page relevancy. To boost landing web page significance, start by thinking like a business organizer, not a channel manager. Prospective clients will not convert if their pay-per-click encounter is not appropriate. What can you do making their experience much more appropriate? Suit the look of your touchdown page to the ad web content. If your advertisement is targeting a particular issue, do not redirect your result in a basic landing page. Rather, re-state your individual's trouble or pain factor as well as clearly stress your remedy. If you are an on-line bath and also body store as well as you run a PPC ad campaign for your down comforters, do not send your leads to the primary home page or even the general page for bed linen. Send them straight to a page showcasing your premium down comforters.

4. Improve landing page copy. While your landing page duplicate must always be persuasive, various language will work with different customers depending on where they remain in your purchaser cycle. When composing your call-to-action copy, take into consideration the site visitor kind that will be showing up on each specific landing web page. Summarize your distinct marketing recommendation in five lines or less, make use of bullets whenever feasible to maintain copy concise and very easy to understanding. While you must be expanding upon the message made use of in your PPC ads, it is additionally an excellent concept to repeat long-tail key words expressions that aided to bring your target cause the landing in the first place.

5. Get visual. The ordinary landing page site visitor determines in simply seven secs or less whether they will certainly stay on the touchdown web page or click their browser's back switch. If your touchdown pages are under-performing, it suggests the web content does not straighten with your customer's expected experience. While touchdown web page copy is essential, so as well is your page's overall layout. Get rid of visual "scrap" that crowds your landing page phone call to action. Instead, select a single graphic or brief video clip that represents your company's one-of-a-kind marketing proposition.

6. Simplify sign-up forms. Yes, opt-in kinds for e-mail marketing, item examples or white paper downloads are a vital touchdown web page component. Nevertheless, extensive sign-up types will ultimately dissuade leads from sending their details as well as disrupt PPC ad/landing web page continuity. Possibilities excel that the loss of potential clients will far outstrip any possible benefits that you may acquire from obtaining supplementary info like business size, sector or yearly sales numbers. Generally, keep the info you should a bare minimum, the fewer required forms, the better. If you do have to catch a substantial quantity of information from your leads, consider splitting the opt-in type over multiple screens and indicating to your lead where they remain in the procedure as they move with each screen. This will certainly simplify the opt-in process and minimize touchdown page bounce rate.

7. Remove navigation options. Don't give your leads a need to click off your page! A major internet experience, total with menu bars, offers a lot of possibilities for cause leave your web page. Each navigation alternative on your landing web page dilutes your lead's focus and increases the web page's bounce rate. Eliminating a menu bar, a residence button and also other navigation choices will simplify the click-to-buy process and also maintain leads focused.

8. Be tactical with content placement. Place your key message and also call to action above the fold. The "layer" is the bottom of the display for the average web browser resolution of your target audience. As well as of course, keeping content over the fold really does matter. For Western site visitors with a delegated ideal analysis design, touchdown page eye monitoring researches regularly reveal that the top left corner is where the eye wases initially drawn. As we read entrusted to right, the mid-right part of the web page is an all-natural relaxing point for the eyes, making it an optimal location for an influential call-to-action. Consider the visual picture you are utilizing on your web page. Our look is attracted to faces, and we generally follow the stare of this face. As an example, if the person is seeking to the right, our eyes will normally follow this look- and also ideally arrive at persuasive call-to-action copy!

9. Build trust. Many thanks to the expansion of spam, web link baiting as well as various other on the internet marketing scams, establishing depend on is vital to Pay Per Click connection. Stay clear of newfangled sales techniques such as, "BUY CURRENTLY!" or "LIMITED TIME DEAL!". Not just is using all caps offensive (that's the matching of shouting in a possible customer's face), but that sort of message will also send your clients directly to clicking their back browser switches. Rather, develop trust fund and develop authenticity by showcasing endorsements, testimonials or industry affiliations, a little industry logo is perfect for keeping the touchdown web page layout clean. In the age of on-line comparison buying, point out verifiable realities. If you showcase get in touch with info on your landing web page, consider consisting of a straight line to your sales department. A telephone number tells individuals that you are legit company with real people on the various other end who can answer their questions. For continuity, if you consisted of a number in your PPC ad, make sure that this number matches the sales line on your landing page.

10. Develop a clear course to the sale. From mimicking Pay Per Click text in your landing web page duplicate to providing leads directly to a certain product, creating a clear path to the sale will certainly drive your conversion prices. Take into consideration the adhering to Pay Per Click advertisement for a Nine West shoe sale:

The heading copy "Nine West Closeout Offers - Save as much as 75% on 9 West Shoes" is spot-on. The internet site link likewise consists of "9 West", which is key for click-thrus. The 4.5 star score and also "44,763 testimonials" establishes the website's reliability from the very start. When we click via, we are taken straight to the sale web page for 9 West shoes:

Overall, nonetheless, the connection in between the PPC campaign as well as the target landing web page is really strong. One method this encounter could have been enhanced, nonetheless, is if a banner or headline on top of the page repeated the "9 West Shoe Sale Approximately 75% Off" message as opposed to marketing Sperry Topsiders, which might be confusing.

Here's one more great example of Pay Per Click ad and touchdown page connection:

HubSpot's PPC ad for a totally free trial deal plainly states the deal in the headline and also by consisting of the variety of Google+ followers in the advertisement copy (almost 30,000), this incorporation enhances HubSpot's legitimacy as well as trustworthiness.

HubSpot's landing web page is spot-on as well. The heading reinforces the 30-day test deal, the web page format and also design is cleanse, and the sign-up form on the right-hand man side motivates visitors to "Start Your Free Trial Offer Currently". Offered that HubSpot's business is lead generation, it's not a surprise to discover such fantastic continuity in between their Pay Per Click advertisement as well as landing page.

Build PPC Continuity Around Encounter, Not Clicks.

Yes, this might appear counter-intuitive, yet hear us out: be smart about just how you enhance your PPC projects and also build connection throughout advertisements as well as landing pages. While clicks are necessary, at the end of the day, 10,000 clicks are useless if not a solitary among these clicks converts. As competition boosts as well as the cost of clicks climbs, clever connection programs not only raise the value of each customer, but likewise make sure that the customer clicking via to your touchdown page is a very certified lead.

From clever bidding approaches that concentrate on long-tail keyword phrases to enhancing landing web page style, invest your time concentrated on taking full advantage of the customer encounter. The best-aligned PPC projects concentrate on the long-tail keyword phrases that are more probable to connect with a target audience as well as also have a lower CPC. While there could be fewer overall clicks, these clicks are likewise greater quality, which ultimately results in greater conversion rates.

Bottom line:

Successful PPC projects make use of the VCCC technique: Presence, Creative, Connection and Conversion. PPC projects deliver the greatest number of leads and the most effective ROI when they are very carefully taken care of to regulate keyword bidding process prices and also drive conversions through far better positioning. As soon as you've generated your leads, do not allow them rot. If you market just one product to a client who arrived on your landing web page via a PPC advertisement and also never learn through them once again, that's a pretty pricey way to do company. Great connection builds your brand name and hooks your customer from day one - and also a great lead nurturing project will certainly guarantee repeat business.

API 101 - EventBrite Events in Northeast

Play with the Viz Here. 

First time working with an API for sourcing data

(Eventbrite example)

So I've heard the term "API" thrown around a LOT and knew how it worked in concept, but never actually did it myself. Here's my attempt. I took these notes as I was doing it, so some steps might be unclear, but hopefully I covered most of the basics.

Some background is needed, esp if you don't know what you're doing:

Very very beginning: Wth are you really doing here: https://www.datahen.com/data-harvesting-war-scraping-vs-using-api/ Very beginning - visualization of how the conversation b/w machines work:  https://restful.io/an-introduction-to-api-s-cee90581ca1b Example walk through video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yFggyk--Zo A very good intro guide to APIs "for dummies": https://schoolofdata.org/2013/11/18/web-apis-for-non-programmers/ Data cleansing/application: http://www.natashadoherty.info/eventbriteapi Step by step guide to API application on Eventbrite: https://automattic.github.io/eventbrite-api/users.html

Challenge 1: Finding API provider & Getting an API Key

** You will need a URL to input and acquire a key. I didn't delve deep into it but you could create a URL that points to your localhost machine. As that seems to take the ID of the host/server you're connected to, it's not quite as flexible as a web URL.. I might be totally wrong here. I went the URL route (put in a random blog I had) because I was afraid that a local host will be tied to my immediate internet connection - as I'm not working from my regular internet connection, I didn't want to have to request a potentially new local host… If anyone has more material on this would love to learn more.

** You will want to use / copy the PRIVATE API KEY. In EB that means you need to click on the arrow down to expand the menu and select the 2nd option -- the code visible immediately on the page without expansion is *not* the right code and does not provide proper OAUTH authorization. I'm assuming that's the difference between an "API KEY" and an "API Token" but just my guess here.

Searching for an API, I stumbled upon Rapid API first and wanted to figure out how to use it. Unfortunately, it is NOT a one-stop-shop for API use. -- Rapid API actually confused me from the get go -- it simply allows you to test whether the connection is OK. Or I don't understand how to use it which is very, very possible too… IMHO You're better off going to the API website itself and mining from there or using R…

-- What IS nice about RAPID API: 1)  It can provide you with a URL for API authentication (if you don't have a website or local host to use). 2) It DOES have quite a nice library of free & fremium APIs which is nice to browse/double check/search for other interesting datasets (but again I couldn't figure out how to actually see the data from there) 3) And 3) It does provide a dashboard for your API Calls - which will help you stay within limits (provided you do it thru them though I think). So overall, Rapid API = nice resource but NOT where you get the actual info (at least I wasn't able to figure out how), so not a panacea if that's what you're looking for (which I was).  

--> For example, I will most likely repeat this for Meetup data. Also found promising API by the folks developing Robby.AI (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/hypecal#section-overview) but couldn't find a way to get an API key to their dataset - hopefully soon.

Challenge 2: Using the API / Getting your data

The end result from your effort of acquiring a token, finding an API etc should be a LINK URL that you can paste into your browser which will show you the data that you want in an ugly, unformatted way.

What the query looks like in a browser:

## *SIDE NOTE** If you’re looking for location data - type in the address and get the latitude/longitude from Google maps…(Long will be negative in North America). If you have multiple, you can google cities and get the location that way. Here's how to convert location data btw.

Isabella Steward Gardner for example has a lat/log of: 42.3386597, -71.1011273 ###

Challenge 3: Extracting, Cleaning & Formatting Data I then used Tash's guide on how to use EB data with R. Super helpful, thank you so much for posting your project!!. Load all the libraries and then load the API data into R. Much more intuitive for me than using another app.

What page one data looks like in R:

Here's my R code. Looks terrible I know, so maybe I'll get around to writing this up as an R Markdown one day.

#Install Libraries install.packages("httr") install.packages("jsonlite") install.packages("lubridate") install.packages("RCurl") install.packages("plyr") install.packages("plotly") install.packages("DescTools") install.packages("margrittr") install.packages("rvest") install.packages("ggplot2") install.packages("ggthemes") install.packages("scales")

Challenge 4: Getting something useful out of the data

After R manipulations ..  Save as CSV - convert to Excel (Tableau doesn't read it as a text file) - Open in Tableau - Visualization here.

Obviously, the result is not as good as the EB interface or web experience. It's not supposed to be.  

What this allows me to do is: • Mine events that I'm interested in and create a list for myself without having to copy paste all this information into a spreadsheet • Visualize the data in any shape or form I wish • Connect and merge with other data sources, like Meetup API, potentially my calendar data etc.

• Keep track of the events I've attended/will attend locally
