 Intro to Python - Who is this best for?

So far, I love it. I understand it, terminology is perfect. Explanation, very easy. The code editor works just like a web browser console with fast response and it has worked into multiple error handles to easily explain what happened with the debugger. However, I am a programming student, and I recall doing this in my courses and getting frustrated about what I was creating errors on and how to correct it. 

The debugger still reads like a coded document, explaining to you what the error is, where to find it, and sometimes in generalization concepts since it could not find your quirky idea of what the answer was. 

I also noticed that the program doesn't give you exact instructions and ends up having solutions with things that it has not touched on yet. Certain keywords, organization, logical maneuvering for fast results not specified results for answers. You have to go through the process to understand each error you throw. If you're learning how to code, expect to encounter every error possible, and pay attention to how it is corrected! Very important for future languages you will embark on later.

Some of Python I don't like - it feels very open ended when coding, I like the conversion portions (unlike C# where it is strict and dragged out that now seems perhaps a little bit daunting and overtly done), and is exactly as designed to do - read easily for non-academic programmers who want to know the core concepts and basic terminology. 

LearnPython.com

The dashboard is simple, the price is affordable, and you can do it at your own convenience. I don't have to close my window and re sign-in (love)! I enjoy how they organize their lessons and learning from it. I have been busy during the off-season from my course work and doing this before my classes start up is such a big eye-opener on what did not stick but how fast I was able to catch on again. I was worried when I couldn't remember how to nest an if-statement and felt very slow on the logic concepts of results that I remembered its about the speed of the program and what I am programming to close with I/O control. It was embarrassing but comforting. I just kept repeating the program until I could talk my way through and pour the code out without looking at the correct answer. Enjoyable review time. 

Doing this I feel more confident to go into a regular python course for the certification but also just want to list it with this website since I will have goals on obtaining my degree. Is this something that will be accredited for time well spent online and worthy of mentioning on my resume? How did I learn Python - I'm sure there are certificates made from the website...

The one thing I am worried about is the community I want to serve with Python Intro Courses to gain an interest with it. Will they understand? What speed they will be first going will not be zooming through the lessons but at a slower pace - will they retain that knowledge? If these lessons could stagger and create joint lesson reviews to integrate what they are learning with a past request - the variety of it, to be inclusive to memory in repetitive forms so they can build the speed of getting through a program with what is being asked. I think this builds confidence and esteem to categorize the syntax on a priority list of how its structured. 

Images below are a couple of snippets from LearnPython.com in the lessons I covered and found enlightening in my review time:

This was interesting because I tried declaring a number first and then throwing it in the if-else statement. Obviously not working. I enjoyed this because the program uses the if expression to go straight at it with what the user provided as being divisible by what creates an even number - else it was odd outside of that parameter. The modulus operator is not division! It returns the remainder of dividing user_number by 2 or half, where this would ultimately occur to be 0 or something else. 

I totally got this wrong first attempt because I forgot to deduct the hours already calculated as base pay and THEN add overtime rate with remaining hours. I don't like the mathematical expression written out in line 5 but it works. I prefer variableNames in these as well to declare and use for the whole program (good habits to have) modifications. 

Alright, so we have all been through this countless times in the grading program example, except this one was a little bit different. The elif statement is inclusive to the if statement. I did this obviously with all if statements and got it wrong since python uses inclusive to a continuous range with elif that is much easier to use. It is like a switch case statement except the else rounds-up all other answers whereas the switch case statement creates that default outro.

Time Management & Schedule of Events

 Single? Cooking, Cleaning, & Coding...

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

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!

Traffic Safety Council - August 2024

Outagamie County TSC

Traffic Safety Council Meeting

August 11, 2024

10:30AM

Outagamie County Highway Commissioner's Office

1313 Holland Rd. Little Chute, WI 54140 USA

                                                                                                                                    Photo by Davis Sánchez

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

Website: https://FirstNationConstructionLLC.com

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. 

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

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

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.
