Time Management & Schedule of Events

 Single? Cooking, Cleaning, & Coding...

Time Management - _Mischief
Peel-Mask while cleaning. _Mischief. Adobe Express. 2024

24 hours in a day - that's all you have to sleep, eat, stretch/exercise, clean home, decide outfit, maintain hygiene issues, shop, cook, pay bills, privy time, and traveling time (plus fueling up). 
Out of these main essentials in life you also have to work. 
After all of that, you can do what you need, like study a programming language or read the newspaper. 

Effective Time Management is planning ahead and double-tasking to clear up time restraints so you can lazily proceed with the same amount of tasks you plan on achieving in that one day. 

  • I like to soak my feet while reading.
  • Wear a peel mask while sweeping and mopping.
  • Doing the dishes while cooking and adding meal prep and budgeting easy meals for future consideration. I have an erasable marker I jot notes on my fridge with for reminders like this!
  • Sign up for events/find spare time at work and do more important reading.
  • I asked on my personal social media for a sponsor family for dinners to include me while I budget $100 for a 3X a week eat-in to help save time with cooking/cleaning/shopping for home-cooked meals.
  • I save my drinking water that I don't consume and give to my one house plant (tap water isn't the best option sometimes). Also, I encourage others to turn off the shower water - I have a bad habit of not doing it because I don't have 10 kids plus their children to consume our water supply - so I splurge most times (not all the time - your welcome.)
  • Scrolling is the devil. Stay away!!
Aside from coursework, work, and more work - I will be attending these events! Some are weather pending. Hopefully you engage yourself in community events and support causes that you find appropriate to your America!

Schedule of Events for _Mischief

August 17, 2024 (Saturday)
7th Annual Chad Miller Memorial Ride

7th Memorial Ride - CM
I will be at this event to help support the family of Chad Miller who was lost too soon to a motorcycle accident. Funds raised go to his children from his friends and support network from the community during their tragic loss. 

**Good turn-out even with the weather having sporadic rainshowers!

August 17, 2024
8p - 9p
Hot Air igNight Market Downtown Green Bay

Huge hot air balloons will be docked downtown Green Bay to highlight the igNight Market they host as a special event. There will be opportunity to take pictures of hot air balloons docked along the Fox River!

**Did not attend but it was still open to the public - I was already rained out from the first event this day!

August 29, 2024
Kunhi:yo Event (Overdose Awareness) 
Oneida Hotel - Green Bay, Wisconsin
9am to ~2pm

This event I will be serving as a community group advocate for Northeast Wisconsin - Technical Resource Group (NEW-TRG) www.NativeTRG.blogspot.com as an alternative option for time and money. The community social service scenery will be full and plenty while NEW-TRG is hoping to recruit interested people in the IT Field, IT Topics, and personal projects they want to learn. These are approachable goals and in occupations we need a community in. Definately hope to see a good turn out to find interested people wanting to change their lives for the better!

**Itinerary for this event is catapulting Overdose Awareness resources for the National recognition. Oneida Nation Resources are available and open for public awareness for groups, treatment facilities, therapies of all kinds and other interests in the community to grasp attention to live healthy. Having the resource available and researching into topics to progress in tribal gaming is one of the main stressors I tried to create. The more knowledge and input we can have at a knowledgeable pace will benefit us all (employee base, networking, and customer along with memberships altogether). 

Running Strong for American Indian Youth 30 Day Challenge
September 2024


This event is a monthlong fundraising opportunity I have linked with my Facebook profile. Sorry to those who try to add, I maintain this as a personal account for personal community contact. I will be fundraising for this event while doing 30 miles within the month of September dedicated to supporting Native American Youth!

I failed this challenge! My body couldn't finish my miles, I believe I had 12.5 miles to go with 4 days to complete. My time management during this month was a huge factor (grades are perfect so far along with bills paid) and priorities came into the forefront. As for the cause, it helped me to stop spiritually - I felt a release and my feet, legs, mind instantly felt better. Congraulations to those who made it and were able to raise funds for the cause! You are greatly deserved and appreciated! Thank you for such a wonderful challenge!

Community First Fox Cities Marathon presented by Miron Construction
1478 Midway Drive   Menasha, WI 54952
September 21, 2024

I will be at this event doing the small 5K RUN/WALK Event for Cancer. I would have liked to sign up for the 10K event but I have lost my mother to Cancer and wanted to support the cause and check out the community for the marathon in this category. I know there are awesome support networks and I will be keeping my eye out for other events like this one! 

I did this event alone! It was well put together, and I was running late but got to the start line with literally 3 minutes before we began crossing into the race itself. I finished at about an hour and 4 minutes doing this 5K. Not my typical conditioning leading into this event but I did manage to enjoy it. I encourage anyone to try for this marathon (the full and half marathons were cancelled due to weather, I guess its the second year in a row!) and know that you can use service dogs, push strollers, and for local driving to watch out for the participants because they are priority in road crossings/intersections! They hooked us up with goodie bags with coupons, gifts, and a finisher medallion with a wisconsin emblem (very nice!) upon finishing. Very good time!

Main Content

  • Finishing projects in Seymour and WIS-76/School Road were opened on Saturday (August 21, 2024). 
  • The Highway State Patrol is pulling in extra shifts for I-41 to reduce crash numbers. 
  • Year-to-date fatality reports is at 310 with 267 crashes for Outagamie County (this is an improvement).
  • Data collected focusing on "crash aggressive" icons of speed, impact, cause, etc. to safeguard future public safety precautions. 
  • 305 Roundabout Intersections constructed in 2024 where there is a projection of 68% less crashes to occur at these intersections thus far. 
  • Teen Driver Impact Workshops are available for those that are teaching new motorist skills - check the pdf link for information here
  • Swing Gate installations on long-stretches of highways. Small gates that swing open in planned locations in the central positions of highways for emergency purposes/responder time reduction.

New Business

  • A question was raised if motorcyclists have any issues with the rumble strips on highway roads (they are found in central roadways for attention upon lane deviation). 
  • The cut grass alongside the roadways has a one-pass policy for cutting grass and this does not include checking for animals prior to cutting it to clear them out in their safety. 
  • There is no database current for any new upturned soils with old seeds or revived plants afterwards being documented. There was a volunteer group called "Wild Ones" but it fell through and there is no other data to be used from their expeditions in the ditches. 
  • Suggestive to curb the appetite and sleeping flora/fauna in the ditches to begin a preventative maintenance plan with biodiversity suggestions to protect animal and other budgetary expenses - cutting grass, saving any culverts being shredded in cutting grass, other equipment damages, fuel intake, risk to employee alongside highway, etc. I did mention the 100-year old plant found near a site after construction in personal searches for a wild dandelion and if there were any seeds that were found/maintained. How often this occured and documented was new information. 
Next Meeting is November 12 at 10:30AM, same venue.

Freelance Review: AI Template to Customized Website

 Freelance Hours: 10

Project: First Nations Construction, LLC. Website Review
Project Protocol: Scrum Guidebook
Platform: GoDaddy.com

When I first started this review, the company had used an AI Template, free stock photos, and AI Generated text, something that GoDaddy.com uses in their pre-built website templates for start-up businesses. It was a good start but not what the company wanted in the long-run. A personalized touch and beginner strides on SEO Optimization with etiquette working with a web dev by providing a log and notes to pass with the next developer in a business rules template made the experience note-worthy.

This was not a customized website at first (and the company invested in a platform to use - which made it convenient for me as a developer to use more digital marketing skills and not raw website coding) since they wanted to be able to manage on a smaller budget, knowing website maintenance and design can be costly, I volunteered 10 hours to this project with NEW-TRG for free. We were able to find cost-reduction interactions for both them and myself. Time management is crucial and to go through this process I learned a couple of standards to abide by:

1. Discuss Business Rules first. Set the company requirements, desired outcome, and follow the scrum guidebook with professionalism in the corner of the developer. Maintaining that direct assertion of being in control of skills used in the project while being organized is highly recommended - no matter the size of the project. 
2. Limit image editing and request same lighting, quality shots you have already approved of and dire to the image of the company and what they want to showcase as a priority - limit this to as minimal as possible to consider the user load time. 
3. Build a file structure that the company approves of and can follow. 
4. Write an incident log/journal to leave with the company on developing good habits and regiments on work produced to maintain professionalism and what the company is used to seeing in the developer role. Maintain the seat just as any other developer would in that role of expectations by leaving contact information.
5. Set a schedule and stick to it. Maintain communication and be effective with every conversation. We were both so busy that our words and time spent were clearly stated made everything operate smoothly and fast.
6. Use Professional headers from the dev to signify a start and end. Have a personal process you customize as a dev to know that the job is done, the customer is satisfied, and the next dev will be able to continue that experience. This was the fun part and projected towards a personal file system to maintain. 

I used Business Rule criteria from SQL courses, the only database type of material we had were about 100 images, a logo redesign for URL purposes, and a couple of AI Generated commercialized appeal to use that GoDaddy frameworks wouldn't have. The scrum guidebook was used for communication and dev guidance on role in the company as a freelancer. The log was created due to freelance position. 

I look forward to more opportunities like this in the freelancer position as a student so I can continue to build more experience to list. It does create more opportunity to hone in on and advance with, thinking of user-friendly platforms for new users and the SEO rankings for companies. I want to embark on a project that could change pow-wow dancing, pow-wow drum competitions by using QR Codes for the crowd and judges to scan for use in pow-wow committee planning to consider in their own personalized websites. I think getting their reputation with community and showcasing their personalities will help their unique portfolios to be upheld in a professional sense. In their roles as a positive influence, they can develop their leadership positions and be a constant guide on their schedules and develop a fan-base. It is in the works but it might be useful in the modern days of technology and communication efforts for Indigenous people to remain connected.

Kunhi-Yo Event at Oneida Hotel in Green Bay, Wisconsin

 Kunhi:yo (I'm Healthy) Overdose Awareness Event 2024

On August 29, 2024, Oneida Social Services and Resources will be hosting an event to bring awareness and resources to the community for those struggling with substance abuse and the relatives affected by loss in substance abuse. Different resources will be made available and will enlighten how much the tribe cares for the health of their people. 

NEW-TRG will be there to provide recruitment, interest, and to be present as an option of making different paths in their lives. We often do not know what can be made available to us, sometimes we do not know how to ask for help, and we may need someone to provide us a way first. That is the idea behind community involvement and participating in the betterment of each of our memberships, respectively, within each Nation. This does include descendents and ascendants of all kinds. 

Kunhiyo Event 2024 Banner

If you are interested in going its August 29, 2024 and starting at 9AM at the Oneida Hotel in Green Bay, Wisconsin at 2040 Airport Drive. 
Hope to see you there!

Making an Impact with NEW-TRG

NEW-TRG Header

How did NEW-TRG start?

Northeast Wisconsin - Technical Resource Group (NEW-TRG) is a community involvement project I have been working on to help with the IT presence in the Indigenous community within the Northeast Wisconsin region. The main capital of casino revenue stems from Gaming operations where Software Developer titles do not directly employ Indigenous or sought for Indigenous recommendations. These are Las Vegas standards, machines, and programming at hand. The in-house banks for progressive jackpots align with designated network systems that can be in-house lead with their departmental staff. However, the main concept was to develop a community base of idealists who could recruit, mentor, and ask questions for the community to follow-up at GTC meetings to their leadership any solutions, projects, etc. towards revenue or occupational roles to fill (basically, what program to go into higher educational institutions for).

Professionally, this means, my tribe does not employ my career currently. It is out-sourced. We do have an IT Department and Help Desk with other networking credentials where Cisco and other advanced essentials in their portal, website, and voting occasions. However, the Software Developer role does not currently have an advanced title or departmental resource to compete for. 

NEW-TRG as a citizen support system for their leadership. 

NEW-TRG is definately going to be needed in our leadership artilery in today's political scene. We need research, lobbyists, and grants to fund IT development. This does include the Data Governance and the undefined laws online. Online Gaming, Online purchases with tax exempt, and sensitivity towards cultural places and items and information are main subjects to resolve. This begins with a tribal lobbyist group seeking technological advancement by requesting funds to propel the education, study, research, and effectively have a profitable plan to repay or refund the efforts towards that advancement to remain a self-sustaining governmental system. Something not many minority groups in the USA are privileged to accomodate their people with today. 

What is NEW-TRG doing currently?

The first thing that is in the works presently is setting a business plan and proposal with NEW-TRG to also align with by-laws enacted for the conduction of a lobbyist group. This can be done less dramatically to enhance participation and fulfill at its own leisure upon the event. Exercising sovereignty in this matter is being effective with conditioning the citizen. We can have the strongest leader in the bunch at the lead but they cannot move everyone if they do not understand what is happening. The education, the crowd they engage with, and their own personal interests may not be the same as the people and this creates a distance that the people end up contending with. More complaints. Less results. Yet everyone is happy. It will be a constant battle field unless we learn to resolve our own faults and create bigger solutions when we can lift others around us with our efforts. 

Main Point and Summary of inclusion within community.

Having a Lobbyist Agenda in tribal affairs will help separate us from the US political structures and create a direction that can be established within a smaller community. Did it resolve, where they able to become functioning followers, did they advance in education, did it help resolve drug issues on their reservation and people? There is much data to collect and convene with guiding our time as human beings and create positive learning environments for future children. 

NEW-TRG and the Coupling Scene

In America, where heritage and genetics of adapting to our learning environments, are creating our separations now. If we understand our surroundings and pride to remain strong in our ingenuitive and creative aspects within our cultural teachings that reflect on us as a person, then we understand the importance of evolving with our environments. Currently, the technological scene is one any Indigenous stepping into has to realize was made from other ancestors from other parts of the world. We have to recognize where we are within it and make a home. Right now, that is a very small corner and we have much work that needs to be done. It is difficult striving for more when the current culture is in need of preservation. This is why we need to organize our multi-lineage people and gather them into productive fields of technologists who want to qualify their time and influences from the strongly encouraged cultural types to gather within their own diversity settings to influence each other peacefully. This is a projected control to maintain unity within the United States. We will have full-blood citizens and descendency citizens who will never be on the same page unless it is cultivated as such. They are capable of remaining within the people and keeping each other genetically healthy - which should be considered since genetics needs time to adapt. These types of fundamental grooming and organizations reach as far back as the construction of the clan systems. This is not a new concept. It just needs to shift into what we have now and having a bigger plan on being capable of following-through with it. 

They're called occupational couples. Homes that provide a career setting with their children who will aspire for their occupational roles or ones that support them. The conversation settings, extra curricular projects, research, and dinner talk will revolve around technology. This is an opportunity to create generational profit by creating those standards and guides for success in our methods and customs. Most times they are shunned, especially from old ways, due to the materialistic grasp and possessive gains that occur which is not the traditional value system. This must be intact. By creating occupational couples, the value system is dutiful and remains valued for community and personal attainment. Our community does not compete with materialistic perspectives, we should remain together in our belongings. 

Summary

Transparency in politics wants to know what people it represents. The people respond with NEW-TRG and want to know how they can be of service. There is less need from its government system. 

That is the goal.

NEW-TRG as a Technological Agenda for Lobbyist Group

New Name, New Purpose, Same Goal

AI Generated - Co-Pilot. 2024. Blueprint and Planning.


Northeast Wisconsin - Technical Resource Group (NEW-TRG) began as a community involvement for mentorship and research to educate community members to be inspired about how their revenue was being made and operated within tribal entities that operated through gaming enterprises. The membership doesn't actively participate in the recruitment for software developers, programmers, IT Field entrepeneurs, or in any of the gaming classification purchasing roles they deal with to uphold their constitutional self-sufficient clause(s). The goal for NEW-TRG was to provide information for more recruitment in the field to compete and further advance their technological role for profit. 
I haven't had the best of luck or support in community reciprocation and now want to change the influential area to serve - expanding into Michigan and Minnesota office times using a virtual office with Regus, a variety of office space packages that help small business owners operating in office settings an affordable reality. I am getting ready to integrate into a virtual office space, creating an address acceptable to begin financial accounts, to plan accordingly ways to create revenue with my business ideas and groups to get it going in America as a real plan. 

Tsha Tewahsana Inc. 
My main career path is a religious director with Tsha Tewahsana Inc. as a form of American curriculum for identity services to specify in future technological agendas by preparing for them now. Conditioned lifestyles like nomadic, underground, and city (overpopulated/crowded habitats) are some of the main contributors we have now. To be realistic in what type of people we need to survive without any genetic alteration study or psychological repair or sensitive information to groom the type of adventurers we need when we are ready for their colonization periods beyond Earth, Tsha Tewahsana Inc. wants to be part of this process. Preparing American culture by integrating a person for purpose in their life decisions and for their generations after to follow is a huge step towards global recognition and dedication to a service of humanity. The perparedness is following closely behind - without any stirring happening currently - and America can be in the forefront of those travelers in a diverse and freed religious country to make it happen. 
Having isolated towns in roles of societal order, adapting to challenges of resources, isolating and supporting the ability to house certain technological advancements to get out of that mentorship to work with peers that consistently strive in the same environments. The reintroduction of new software, tools, and techniques with technology along with data governance are not set in stone currently and having a technical lobbyist group with a future agenda to support an American identity in survival, in pioneering, in adventurous states will help propel our country into a supportive recognition that keeps us living actively within society with different tasks. 
One thing about lobbyist groups is that they recruit to serve their agenda. What this lobbyist group wants to achieve is how to accept support for the political agendas and budgets for technological advancement, education, and occupational availabilities in environments created for sociological studies to learn from their habitat skills, beliefs, coordination in receptive healthy living skills, competitive essence, their reserved sense of environmental awareness and economical impacts on consumerism and change it based on creating healthy habits we need in the future to preserve our natural resources (water consumption is at the top of the list along with waste management). 

Agenda
The main agenda to propel with this lobbyist group will be formed upon more interest and recruitment. I would like to invest in small communities, nomadic lifetyles, and work our way into larger cities to begin preparing for local distribution and consumption only to help with the shelf-life and duration of compost management to truly live organic. Natural services in food storage, preparation, and waste while upcycling material in waste collections is ideal. The membership attest to historical interpretations and alleviate their social rankings to form new ones (racial segregation, group segregations will cease and an individualism will begin). How will we identify ourselves and the continuance of our genetics? Why is this important and how to support it without bias or misconcepted beliefs in the paranoia? We are creative humans and will conceive our personal value over another until it is conditioned into a stronger purpose. This agenda is aiming to improve the citizen and how to support what we want from the government. 

Technology and those that are brilliant in the field should be supported, transparent, and deliver quality competitiveness with global markets. We want to have a working goal together and be prepared for space travel in a generational pursuit. The education of this citizen to maintain conversations with our most brilliant is ideal to remain within a working environment that supports these people and not our consumer habits, behavior, or appealing nature to sell as success. There are many things that technology can do to change our American identity and we should lobby together with this agenda. 

Conclusion
This is a projected American direction to support what the citizen can do and remain in control of. Even if BigTech Industries allowed us the ability to be in direct contact with telecommunications and allowed their data governance to delay while integrating within American commerce and trade seats to lift them easily into a power seat of decision-making not installed within legal responsibilities - but a lobbyist negotiator applicable to their agenda, currently. How do the citizens remain in control and able to govern themselves against these powerhouse decision-makers? 
One thing we can do is voluntarily attest to our dedication to our goals and dreams of allowing our purpose in citizenship to create and belong to small markets while increasing our conditional lifestyles to be documented for sociological references. We can restrict ourselves from online ecosystems designed and dedicated for local consumption, control, and budgets. There are ways to remain in control now and that is to create our own small ecosystems, supported by local governments, economics, and livelihood agreements to support those conditions to maintain healthy habits every citizen should practice. Let's be the enforcement we need at our level and create compliance on corporate responsibility with how we want technology to serve our communities.

Project Terminology: Scrum GuideBook

 Project Guides for Developers using Scrum Guidebook by J. Sutherland & J. McKenna

A link to the actual documentation (brief reading time, approx. 25 minutes) is here

I stumbled upon this information going over Youtube videos with developer advice for project management and what makes a senior developer versus a junior developer in their work alone. As a software developer student, and 8-week courses, with other life hassles to pay on time - I am getting doubtful of a prosperous career in IT because I lack the confidence in my skills as a developer. The terminology without a community to converse daily becomes absent in my return to class structures and it is difficult to maintain interest when I feel over-stressed by it. I enjoyed the learning - so I focus on that part. And get back to it. 

So, in this video by subscribing to the "Thriving Technologist" - I am learning how experienced programmers are establishing programmer habits to enact for future project and career security. One thing I picked up - without direct intent - was the leadership role to be foundational and established within the developer role in any project and to remain in that seat at all times. Do not let anyone dictate the developer or its duties. This is a job role to secure the salary/wage for each project and the vital attitude we all must exhibit as a developer to create the unity in our work and the ability to follow each other and consistently work regardless of personal projects. Don't let the personal project style/patterns/work flow seep into the career projects!
I also found it interesting to use the scrum guide for projects that use inter-departmental feedback to maintain throughout its term in development. Which means, the developer does have an establish role to fulfill and to let the other departments handle theirs. The goal incrementing and completely done by standard finish lines create the micro-management for diverse work groups to collectively be assertive in deadlines by standard and to assist if needed much more available and readily than by reading from the top philosophy. 
I did not know Scrum Guidebook before this youtuber explained in his knowledge as a developer how project spaces that use it - should follow it to the tee. It does explain that in it as well. I enjoyed the documentation - which is also something that the youtube video explains. 
Here is a sample of who I am talking about: 


This is a separate video but he does a great job at explaining Developer Advice, Tips, and very straightforward on the subject he presents. I would definately enjoy working with him - even at my inexperienced stage - I would be more interested in how to improve and him being able to provide that to me (in the form of youtube is even better - saves me the embarrassment!)

Scrum Guidebook Review

The history of the Scrum Guidebook is a basic step for group projects of any kind, technically. This is pertaining to accountable dollar for time, resources, and micro-managing at its best. The idea of being provided a task and doing it - was an older programmer technique that was heavily reliant on integrating program code and modifying based on the time spent writing it. But nowadays, programmers don't want to waste time by redoing the entire architecture so it has been mutually agreed upon to write based on easy to read code, easily transferrable code, and code that operates with tools effectively. 
One of the habits he stresses was documentation in his videos. I am going to be taking a Documentation Writing course in the Fall of 2024 and as plainly as it sounds - excited about it. I think if I'm going to be good at anything, hopefully its writing! But also reading it. I want the user to imagine what they are reading and be effective throughout the documentation so we can post it without running into multiple variations of how they interpreted it, what their thoughts on it were, and what helped them use it in which part of code the best. These should be habits by the developer regardless - especially in new programs, projects, developments to pass to the company for the next programmer to easily read and adjust for other improvements or modifications to insert other tools or features. 

I'm glad to have encountered this. I guess its been in most active use since 2020 - so, I'm not too far behind. I've never been involved in a project and am happy to have found his advice most useful to an inexperienced programmer as myself. I have much to work on and create those good developer habits within my time of study!
