No days wasted6/11/2023 But it’s not something I want to do long-term. It went fine, and people seemed to enjoy them. I made a couple of new videos and edited and uploaded them. We get easily distracted and we pursue new things before we finish our existing goals.Ī while ago, I put more focus on improving my YouTube channel. I used to try to do too many things at once. ![]() That’s a hard lesson I wish I learned much earlier. You can achieve anything in life if you just focus on one thing. Keep in mind the ease with which logos is carried through all things. ![]() “Enjoyment means doing as much of what your nature requires as you can. Enjoy the process and don’t focus too much on future outcomes. Usually, you’ll write more than just one sentence. Writing a book? Show up and write one sentence. But when we start anything valuable, it requires constant work. We imagine getting rich, and being successful. When we try to write a book or start an online business, we imagine getting lots of sales in a few months. It’s easy to fantasize about achieving goals. It’s very corny and obvious advice, but there’s a reason people often talk about showing up. The key is to do something you can easily sustain. Maybe you’ll walk 3 kilometers and that’s it. The better solution? Just say, “I’m going to exercise today.” Period. Also, if you don’t hit your metric, say, you only finished 8K before giving up, you’ll only feel bad about yourself. It also encourages procrastination (“I feel too tired right now. First, imagining yourself running a tiring distance can demotivate you. Let’s say you wake up in the morning and think to yourself, “I should run 10K today because I haven’t exercised in weeks.” We give ourselves a hard time when we focus too much on the outcome of an activity. How can you break that cycle? How can you get back into a productive flow? Here are three things you can do. And before you know it, you feel like you’re wasting all your time. ![]() We know we’ve wasted precious time and it can demotivate us from doing better. When we don’t make any meaningful progress, we feel like crap. A while back, I did a study and found that at least 88% of the workforce admits to procrastinating for at least one hour on a typical workday. But there are many people who waste time during the day at work. When you do it occasionally in your free time, it’s no big deal. Wait, what? More than 2 hours on my tablet? What happened? Well, wasting time. The next time I looked at the clock, it was about 12:15 am. The other day I watched a Skip & Shannon video on YouTube (a sports show mostly about the NBA and NFL), and then, I watched another video about the NBA. But sometimes, we waste a bit too much time.

Turtle diarey6/11/2023 ![]() The 'turtlenappers' are about to set their own spirits free. … Outside of their chance meetings at the aquarium, they have little in common, but an inspiration to free the captive turtles starts a bond that gives their lives a new outlook. Critically hailed as a mini-masterpiece, TURTLE DIARY is the enchanting film of people rediscovering the joys of life and love. ^ a b "Turtle Diary (1985)(VHS): Editorial reviews: Product Description" ( Web).^ a b David Castell (1 December 1985).The film was released on videocassette in 1985 by Vestron Video. The film grossed $2.2 million on its American theatrical release. … Turtle Diary is a fine film that charts movingly the unnoticed despair of everyday lives, the sufferings of those who endure loneliness in silence." They milk every nuance, point up every missed beat and relish each irony and repetition in the script. In his 1985 review of the film for The Sunday Telegraph, David Castell observes that Pinter's screenplay concentrates on developing dialogue and plot, leaving clues for the actors to convey their characters' subtle emotional and psychological development: "It is hard to think of two actors better matched to play Pinter than Glenda Jackson and Ben Kingsley. Harold Pinter has a cameo role as a man in the bookshop where William and Harriet work. Nigel Hawthorne as the publisher of books by Neaera Duncan.Harriet Walter as Harriet Simms, a colleague of William Snow at the bookstore.Eleanor Bron as Miss Neap, a neighbor of William Snow.Charlie Inchcliff, Williams Snow's landlady Michael Gambon as George Fairbairn, the zookeeper charged with caring for the turtles.Ben Kingsley as William Snow, "a humble assistant in a bookstore where he, too, dreams of the turtles.".Glenda Jackson as Neaera Duncan, a "Popular children's author … fearing her creative talents have evaporated, escapes into the dreamy world of sea turtles seeking inspiration in their beauty and grace.".Their release of the turtles is a metaphor for their escape from their inhibitions. Independently, each perceives that the turtles are unnaturally confined, and they hatch a plan with the assistance of zookeeper George Fairbairn ( Michael Gambon) to smuggle them out and release them into the sea. Two lonely Londoners - Neaera Duncan, a children's author ( Glenda Jackson), and William Snow, a bookstore assistant ( Ben Kingsley) - find common ground when visiting the sea turtles at London Zoo. The film contains elements of romance, comedy, and drama and has been described as a romantic comedy. Based on a screenplay adapted by Harold Pinter from Russell Hoban's novel Turtle Diary, the film is about "people rediscovering the joys of life and love". Turtle Diary is a 1985 British film directed by John Irvin and starring Glenda Jackson, Ben Kingsley, and Michael Gambon. Mathlete girl6/11/2023 ![]() Sponsored by the Advantage Testing Foundation and global trading firm Jane Street, MP4G is the largest contest of its kind in North America and has also served as an unofficial pipeline to MIT. The 35 top scorers will be invited to compete next month in the 2022 Math Prize Olympiad, a four-hour exam with four proof-oriented problems taken at their schools. The winners are posted on the foundation’s Art of Problem Solving website. The next four winners won $2,000 each, and winners in 10th through 17th places got $300. The next four winners were Isabella Zhu, a 12th grader from Thomas Jefferson High School in Virginia, whose score of 15 earned her $20,000 California 10th graders Ishani Agarwal of Saratoga High School and home-schooled Angela Liu each scored of 12, to earn $7,000 each and 10th grader Emily Yu of Mendon High School in New York, whose score of 11 earned $4,000. “The contest problems were challenging and very interesting, and the opportunity to meet fellow mathletes from around the country was phenomenal!" says Wan. (The MP4G event was on hiatus for two years due to the pandemic.) She also won it in the last contest, in 2019, as an eighth grader.

Its focus on simplicity and readability makes it easy for beginners and experts alike to understand and adapt to various scenarios and use cases. Overall, Python is among the best programming languages to learn and get you started in program development. Before you jump in and start coding, do consider the industry you're involved in first as this particular language is not suited for mobile app development. It's built a strong community for itself, offering guidance and contributions to its already powerful toolbox. It runs on just about every major platform (including Windows 11) available in the market today. Lastly is Python's high adoption rate and popularity. It can also be used in various types of projects, and developers can choose between object-oriented or procedural programming modes, along with support for various data types. It's ideal for beginners for its fast performance, ease of use, and relatively small learning curve-which can be attributed to its high readability. ![]() Its language structure bears similarities with English and some elements from mathematics, making it easy to read code-whether it be yours or someone else's.Īnother point that goes in favor of Python is its high reliability and scalability. As was mentioned earlier, simplicity and readability are paramount. ![]() Why Python?ĭespite the increasing number of programming languages and development platforms available in the market today, there are some key factors that make Python stand out from the rest. It contains standards and libraries in fields, such as web development and data sciences. There are thousands of third-party modules available for it in the Python Package Index, also known as PyPI. The great thing about Python is that it's built on a solid and compact foundation at its core, but is extensible and can be adapted to various applications through the use of modules. It includes data structures, dynamic binding, and many other features that make it suitable for making complex applications, as well as serving as a "glue" of sorts to connect different components together. Today, it's hailed as a high-level general-purpose programming language used in the development of programs and a variety of other use cases, including web design and the creation of system scripts. The core philosophy behind its conception was that it was to serve as a programming language that is simple yet functional, complex yet fully understandable by everyone who uses it, and compact yet highly adaptable for various types of uses. Python was first conceived back in the late 1980s by Guido van Rossum at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands. Hp photo creations 3.5 x 56/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() No matter which option you go with, creating your photo book becomes way easier using these programs, including these three we have tested: Kodak’s PrintProjects, HP’s Photo Creations and Canva. Free Photo Book SoftwareĪs mentioned, the internet is full of different, free of charge photo book editing software, some of which are downloadable while others can be accessed online through a browser. The issue of creating a cover can also be solved in an easy way: many stores sell empty photo albums with or without pages that you can leverage as your own cover, but if you are keen to use DIY methods – and you don’t mind spending the extra time with binding – you can fabricate covers for yourself using cardboard or extra thick or strong paper. Quality photo paper can easily be purchased in different sizes, while most recent printers are more than capable of handling the increased page dimensions – especially if you have a sufficient amount of ink. Once the software is taken care of it’s time to focus on the most crucial part, the ‘hardware’: namely the paper, the printer and the cover. ![]() However, before choosing the winner, do a little research or try out the programs first to find out which one has the most to offer regarding styles, backgrounds, photo adjustment options, embellishments, and so on. Thankfully, finding downloadable and free photo book software is a piece of cake. If you are still hoping to print your photo book without relying on professional photo services then prepare to gather together several tools to even start the project.įor starters, you’ll need a good photo book program. Granted, customization options might be more limited and shipping will cost extra, but it is at least guaranteed that your book will be put together in a professional manner. These technical aspects are the main reasons why many people are turning to professional photo book building services instead. However, assembling the book is perhaps the biggest challenge: unless you are satisfied with the simplest saddle-stitch binding (like notebooks) or you have a professional binding machine, you’d better be off assigning this task to professionals. Best Photo Book Builders of 2023 RankĬreating covers is not too complicated since the internet is full of clever DIY ideas, while covers from finer materials can be purchased at retail stores. First and foremost, your printer should be capable of handling multiple paper sizes and types, a feature that is often limited to better machines. Printing Photo Books Yourself vs Photo Book Printing Servicesīy far the biggest advantage of creating your photo book at home is that you are absolutely not bound by anything – provided that you have the right program and equipment.įinding the right software is the easiest part there are plenty of (free) photo book programs, but printing and binding can be a real nightmare if you’re using basic materials. And before you think this option requires a lot of time and money, that’s not the case: in fact, all you need is the right software and tools. To avoid that you might want to consider printing your own photo books in the comfort of your home. However, once you hit order you no longer have control over the printing and shipping process, meaning that you might end up with a faulty product or a book delivered beyond the deadline. Nowadays photo printing companies offer their services online in the form of convenient photo book builders with which you can put together your future book exactly the way you want to. Long gone are the days when you had to go to a photo printing company to get a stylish photo album or photo book created from your most precious memories.
