![]() She referenced this "zone" from the William Bridges Change Model regarding transition and explained how we experience negative emotions because it is unfamiliar to be in transition or to be neutral. My business mentor gave me much relief when she identified it as a Neutral Zone, a period of time between an ending and a new beginning. I'm coming out of what I considered to be a dark place. As I become more aware of and vulnerable to my new experiences, I slow down and am reminded to simply notice. Recently and throughout life, I have taken some of life's pleasures for granted. Lord Byron's quote reminds me to experience the pleasure along the way. It takes a lot of trust and belief in myself and to be honest with you - some days I can stand proud in my trust and belief and other days, I don't know what the hell I'm doing! To expand on the metaphor, I may have to climb a tree, create tools out of rocks, and make friends with animals in the woods along the way. Additionally, my entrepreneurial (and personal) life currently carries with it so much uncertainty that I must realize, I'm not on somebody else's path this is a path that I get to create one day at a time. In speaking of my "new" approach, the simple fact that I consider it to be new creates an awareness that this is foreign territory - pathless woods. Are you able to sense the lightness just by reading that sentence about my new approach? I hope so. and what is life without pleasure? Boring! With my new approach, I get to simply notice myself and my environment, including home, friends, family, work, and nature. ![]() This narrow focus gets in the way of my experiencing pleasure. Having to find something carries with it a steadfast, intense energy that makes me envision myself marching to the beat of a soldier with my sights narrowly focused on the outcome. You see, I've been working on shifting my masculine ways of being and working. ![]() But one thing is true, I am determined to simply notice it as opposed to find it. I'm trying to not only believe this quote, but also embody it! I question it, too. "There is pleasure in the pathless woods." ~Lord Byron

For an app that was nearly purchased on a whim, it has proven to be invaluable and is at the fore of my app toolbox.ġ,055,701 Ads blocked and 269,762 Trackers blocked for 61.64 GB saved, since June 4, 2020. If there is a pattern to the text, TextSoap can either clean it up, reformat it, or extract the vital pieces. If I had to reformat and parse text for a living, the time saving would almost be beyond measure. But even with these simple jobs, I save big chunks of time and tons of frustration. There are dozen of these types of tasks I handle each week with TextSoap. If I didn’t have TextSoap, I would have abandoned the project. All that information is now in SnippetsLab where they can be used properly and exported a usable format if needed. Moving everything around by hand would have taken at least a day and driven me to the brink. Then using several RegEx search and replace blocks chained together, it was reformatted and parsed with TextSoap so it could actually be used. Using the Concatenate commands in Calc, I put the text together in a way that was useful. For reasons that send me into a rage, each cell in the row was a piece of information about how the query worked, what it was used for and other instructions. TextSoap was also the tool I used when I needed to extract and reformat queries that were stored in Excel. There is no point in me repeatedly pressing the delete key, then the arrows keys, then dash a dozen keys when I can have the computer do it. Now I just press a key and the work is done. ![]() It’s minor but doing that a dozen times a day is so tedious. I have a TextSoap cleaner that removes all the Returns, does a small bit of RegEx to add a separator between ticket number and title. That’s easily copied, but when pasted, it comes across with Returns I don’t want. When viewing a ticket, I want the number and the title. It may seem trivial, but I’ve already used it 800+ times. There is another cleaner I have that works with Jira. It’s an easy way to get text ready for Postman, add opening and closing braces, or open and close tags. I use that to Prefix a name with a Mac Volume name or something like The same can be done for HTML or XML tags. The Prefix and Suffix cleaners are perfect for building strings. Getting the text in the proper format takes a mere second. These are usually product SKUs or Customer IDs that I need to find. This can be used used for the WITHIN clause. The same could be done for logs like Papertrail and Rollbar.Īs mentioned, I can convert a long line of numbers such as 1,2,3,4 into a column of numbers to be used in SQL such as (‘1′,’2′,’3′,’4’). A file of 10,000 lines is reduced to a handful in the blink of an eye. Or all the lines with “Missing.” And of course, “Error.” These lines are extracted so I only have the text I’m interested in. For example, show me all the lines with the word, “Minute” in them. After a run in Katalon Studio, I parse the Execution Log looking for errors or other keywords. If there’s a ton of yellow on the screen, time for some serious editing.Īnother common usage is the Extract Text. It converts these to uppercase, changes the font to red, and the background to yellow. I also have a Common Words formatter that goes through my text looking for overused words. Instead of going line by line, I press the key and the article is instantly reformatted. Scrivener doesn’t need them, but WordPress does. For each blog article, I use the formatter to add an extra RETURN between paragraphs. With the Search/Replace engine it’s a matter of using ‘\n’, ‘\t’,’\s’ where needed.Īt this point, I have several hotkeys set up to directly call formatters. This is so I can take something out of LibreOffice and drop it in Valentina Studio. This is done to convert a CSV list to a column and vice-versa. One of my most common tasks is to remove or add, TAB, Space, Enter, or CRLF. Some of the more advanced cleaners include I’ve used are: TextSoap comes with a dozen cleaners and formatters built in. TextSoap can be called from it’s own menu bar applet, from a floating panel, or from other tools like Popclip. So, when working in Valentina Studio, the text can be reformatted without leaving the app. ![]() Of course, the power comes from the built in cleaners, RegEx powered Search and Replace feature, as well as chaining together dozens of cleaners to transform text.Īnd those cleaners can be used within other applications, not just within TextSoap itself. On it’s own, TextSoap is a great TXT and RFT editor, with all the standard features you would expect. It’s now a text editor I use almost every day to clean up and reformat text. TextSoap is a tool I bought on a BundleHunt sale thinking it might come in handy one day. ![]() In fact, pallets and boxes don’t even need to stop moving to be scanned RFID tags can be read as they’re moving through a gate on a loading dock. These tags can be scanned from a distance with radio waves, so that pallets and boxes don’t have to be approached with a handheld laser scanner for their data to be captured and shared. Though not yet a 100% mandate, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are encouraged for suppliers. Biggs said, “From a position of great strength, we’re now going to accelerate investments in supply chain, technology, automation, and our associates.…we remain laser-focused on operating efficiency.” In 2015 alone it spent $10.5 billion on IT, a lot even for a company that booked $486 billion of revenue that year. Walmart was the first company in the world to use barcodes on 100% of its products, way back in 1983. Visibility, Transparency and CollaborationĪt Walmart, demand forecasting and inventory-level prediction are obsessions. Walmart can do that and still hit its margin targets because it is so successful in building visibility and transparency into every scrap of data in their supply chain. ![]() Walmart’s policy is to offer Everyday Low Prices-lower than everyone else’s-year-round, instead of competing on price only during seasonal sales. Walmart believes that it’s that focus that underlies all their success and guarantees that, even as inflation and wages and other costs of doing business rise, Walmart continues to be the low-price leader. They continuously find ways to optimize their supply chain to control or reduce costs, and they never let up. Who can say the same? Data Matters Moreīut Walmart succeeds and grows because of a relentless focus on efficiency and transparency in its supply chain, even in packing pallets and stocking shelves, as we shall see. Walmart even dealt with the Covid supply chain crunch of 2021 by chartering its own ships to unload at less-busy ports. Their shipping fleet musters 9,000 tractors and 80,000 trailers and drives more than 1 billion miles per year. ![]() regional distribution centers that dwarf the others. They encompass at least 1 million square feet each-and 42 of them are U.S. Every one of them unloads and ships at least 200 trailers a day. These, together with Walmart’s family of e-commerce websites, are served by 210 distribution centers. Walmart has 5,300-plus stores in the United States employing nearly 1.6 million people, and 5,100-odd stores in 23 other countries employing another 550,000. But we can learn valuable lessons from Walmart’s focus on efficiency and automation, its nuanced approach to supply chain sustainability and social responsibility, and how digital data sharing underlies it all. Walmart is big, racking up $555 billion in sales in fiscal 2021, so it can seem like a behemoth with no lessons for the rest of us.

Ways to Create a Photo Collage for Instagram Stories In this article, we'll show you how to put multiple pictures on your Instagram Story. The OP has presumably seen both of our replies and I'm happy to leave it at that. Can you play "Ben" using single notes instead of chords to which I replied "sure" which for some reason seemed to set you off. But this thread is not about any of that. I only pointed it out because your unprompted combativeness raised my hackles. ![]() I said that triad was spelled incorrectly (it's not tryad according to any dictionary I've seen or anyone other than you spelling it that way), so "there!" Again though, nobody cares. Damn!!Īs long as you are so into re-reading my posts, please note that I did NOT say that dyad was spelled incorrectly. ![]() But touché on noticing that I mispelled "there." I noticed that too but thought I could get away with it. PPS - In the interest of Full Disclosure, I note that I edited this post to change "If you start in B" to "If you start in G." PS - While I regret that I won't have your eternal gratitude for telling you how you "can sound a B7, Am or D7 note specifically by fretting any one of the six single strings at any fret position on the neck" since that is not something that can be done, perhaps I can have just a minute or so of gratitude for letting you know that the correct spelling of "tryads" is "triads." If you start in G, the first line would be the notes G A G F# G A G D D. The OP wants to play the song "Ben" but is having trouble getting all the chords down at this point and asked asked "cant I play this song one note at a time? no chords ? As I stated, you certainly can play the melody line one note at a time. I finished the first paragraph by saying explicity that there "is not a 1-to-1 deterministic relation between a note and a chord." You seem to be reacting as if I told the OP that you can play a particular chord by playing a single note when in fact I said nothing of the sort. I read your post and don't take any issue with it, and I don't see anything in my post that is at odds with what you wrote. In any case, I'm not sure what you are objecting to. Well, I think I only edited a couple of times to add something and to edit for clarity and a type, but since we're being snarky, after reading your post and some of it's tortured verbiage (e.g., "However interminably inquisitive as I am only too aware of my own human frailty rendering capacity to err, if you could explain to me."), I would suggest to you that a little editing is not the worst thing in the world. Like play a chord for "Ben", melody notes for each word "the two of us need look no more", then the same chord for "We" followed by individual notes for each word of the next line ("both found what we were looking for", etc. To make it a little more interesting, you could see how it sounds to play the first chord of each line, and then play some melody notes after that. Having said that, trying the note that the chord is named for would be a reasonable place to start but the melody note could be any note in the chord (which is typically built from at least 3 notes) or even a note that is not in the chord, so you just have to figure it out. The main point I'm trying to make is that their is not a 1-to-1 deterministic relation between a note and a chord. The interaction between (a) the movement of notes and (b) the flow of the chords is, in part, what gives any particular song on rendition of a song is unique character. The progressions of chords limits the options of what notes would sound good but there is still a great deal of freedom in selecting the particular notes to play over those chords. ![]() This is a really imperfect analogy but I think of the relation of the notes to the chords (the melody to the harmonic progression) as being similar to the relation between the path a white water kayaker chooses as he or she navigates the flow and dynamics of a river. The melody notes relate to the chords but it's not as simple as saying that a particular note corresponds to a particular chord. I think you would have to figure that out by ear unless you have some guitar tab that shows you the melody line. You can play the melody line (what you sing or whistle or hear in your head when you sing or whistle or imagine the song) with single notes. Interestingly, many of Allen’s authentic tweets and the allegedly malicious message were sent from the Twitter client Echofon, but it would not be difficult for a hacker to use that client as well.Īfter claiming his account was hijacked, Allen added that “i hope that it was amusing to people but im either gonna change my password or stop tweeting altogether. It is unclear whether he was genuinely hacked or if he unintentionally made public what was meant to be a private message. I need to changey tweet handle.” He then changed from to ] When you masturbate think about my tongue or your cl*t and switching back and forth from my d**k to my tongue.” The tweet was later deleted, and 14 minutes after it was posted another tweet showed up, this time apologizing and claiming that he was not responsible: “I’m sorry my acct was hacked into. sniegoski, Redux clinica rinoplastia, Ray allen.

So I would be wrong to expect Echofon to give me the App Store version because Id already paid for the version I was using.

The character designs in Hi-Fi Rush are a standout feature, giving praise to their cuteness (like the cat), diversity, and attention to detail in comical facial expressions for both robots and NPCs, as well as the main character Chai. This design approach infuses a touch of whimsy and cartoony humor into the game’s animation. Our protagonist, Chai, exudes a youthful, Scooby Doo’s Shaggy-look-alike vibe with a relaxed, bumbling, and carefree airhead personality, contrasting the serious attitudes of the office robots and executives. Resulting in a form of a wacky adventure drawn with a colorful striking presence. Looking through the cutscenes and cinematics show the art style in Hi-Fi Rush reminds me so much of Rogue Galaxy’s cell-shaded comic book art that sort of blends in the elements of cartoon and science fiction mechanical contraptions while defining details through drawn-in characterized bold lines, vibrant colors, and fluid animation to boot. ![]() And here are my reasons why you should consider playing Hi-Fi Rush.Īnimation, Level Designs, and Cinematic – Design Sings by Itself To the point that if Hi-Fi Rush comes to other platforms such as Nintendo Switch or PS5, I would buy it as this is a cult classic. That’s why I am pleasantly surprised by Hi-Fi Rush jam of rhythm-based gameplay of these classic titles mentioned above jammed into a Kingdom Hearts-style of combat that hits me right to the feels by granting me more damage as I hit to the beat, making it a more rewarding experience. While these titles are fun and easily accessible rhythm-based games, unfortunately, most of these titles are in a niche market or not getting much love and sequels or remakes they deserved. However, surprisingly I do have a fondness for titles such as Gitaroo Man, Space Channel 5, Parappa The Rapper, and Elite Beat Agents. Personally, I find it rare for me to enjoy music or rhythm-based games as this genre can often be overly challenging, restrictive, and difficult to dive into. ![]()
