I am in need of anyone that knows how to use photoshop and has got spare time to teach online. If you can do this, name your price and get in touch.
Thanks.

I have a video of me and a few of my friends in it and I'm thinking of making animation from it.
I think I'm going to need a software that does motion capture. So I have gone online and I still couldn't find any applicable that is appropriate for me.
I have seen OpenPose, it is built on python programming language, I find it hard to install.
I have seen plask but it is limited to 2 to 3 characters.
I have seen deep Motion but it too expensive.
So basically, I need a software that can extract motion from a video with about 5 to 10 people in it and it isn't too expensive. $20 to $30 a month is fine for me.
Thanks, any response would be appreciated.

Hello everyone. Please I need advice on a situation. Has anyone dealt with passport name problem?
I know a lady planing to come to the UK as a Tier 4 dependant, her husband filled her full name during his Visa application before he left. Now she got her passport and it has just her name and surname without middle name (I still don't understand how the middle name was omitted, my first time seeing a passport with just two names). The money for Proof of funds will be 28 days ending of June. Her husband has less than 6 months on his Visa and is running out on time. They are so confused, rectifying the name on the passport will take about 2 months (so they say).
Please has anyone had similar experience?
What can be done at this point?
Visa application now takes about 6 weeks.
The husband wants to apply for post study Visa and the dependant must be in the UK at least 3 months before submitting the application.

Thanks

Hi guys, I did further digging on the dataset that cochtrane scraped using a business intelligence tool called Power BI.
Note: The analysis is for the date when the thread made it to front page, not when it was created which spanned from 3rd of June 2019 to 2nd of June 2020 . The data has 28,516 threads from 38 different sections by 5025 different accounts...............

It's nice. Pls what tool did you use to make this?

You are quite right about the difficulty in getting professional jobs in Germany, but this is not a problem with Germany; it's a problem in every advanced economy. The system in these countries is to always protect the interest of their citizens (rightfully so in my opinion), it's in Nigeria that foreigners would come into the country as expatriates and enjoy the quality of life that its citizens cannot enjoy.

Now you won't like the next few paragraphs. You are entitled. Germany never asked you to come and neither were you promised a job on completion of your studies. You made the decision to integrate yourself into it's society. Have you ever considered that a country like Germany that offers tuition free studies up to PhD level will not have shortage of skilled talents to choose from? So why should you be picked over other talents available? Because you have a masters degree? Do you know how many people have the same masters degree? Or even higher qualifications?

Advanced societies are selfish and only care about integrating the best foreign talents into their societies. So invest in yourself and make yourself stand out. Before you try to make excuses, i will briefly share my personal story and hopefully it will help reinforce believe in yourself and know that you can do it. I was your age when i came to the UK for studies, having no one except God as my friend and family. I discovered quickly that this place called the United Kingdom is a battle ground and i have my work cut-out for me if i am going to make success of it (i won't bother giving examples of what i experienced that informed this thinking as i think it's irrelevant to key points in your post).

During my studies, i did cleaning, support work, care work, kitchen staff (i did any kind of menial job to survive) and i always had a smile on my face because my life was better than when i used to hawk in Nigeria. However, I didn't get discouraged and i completed my bachelors as the best graduating student for my cohort. Based on this, I was lucky to get part scholarship from the University to do my masters which i completed in flying colours. Then the UK had a post-study visa for 2 years, got a job as a software developer with this PSW visa. When my 2 year visa was about to run out my company sponsored me and I got a work visa for 5 years.

Fast forward to the present, i have completed a bachelors, 2 masters and almost a PhD (in my 5th year of my part time PhD programme), I am now a British citizen with qualitative and extensive work experience spanning several EU countries (which incidentally includes Germany, I worked in Berlin for eight months, staying at the Westin Grand at the expense of my employers) and am now a software architect consulting for companies with the remit of providing technical guidance to their software development teams. Even during my work, I continued investing in myself, hence the other masters and my PhD (despite now having my own family).

Do you know how i got Software development experience in the UK?
Before coming here, I had 5 years working as a programmer, on arrival here I knew between classes and doing all sorts of menial jobs; i wouldn't have the time to explore volunteer opportunities. So what did i do? I was going round all local businesses (when i had free time between classes) around the university introducing myself. I explained who i was, what i was doing here and how i can help their businesses. Most of them, told me to jog on (which is British slang for f*** off) in the most polite way possible. So in my first year, no one offered me nothing. But in my second year of my studies, I got lucky there was this care agency that got tired of seeing my face, gave in and asked me to build them an application for managing their staff rota (till today i don't know if they requested this because they thought i won't be motivated to do it for free or even be able to deliver it).

I gave it my best effort, spoke to my course advisor at the university about the project. She was impressed and helped me massively. She designed sprints for me in which i completed specific features each sprint. She helped with testing the software, she wanted me to succeed, I owe her everything. The agency liked it and i got other jobs through them (this was 100% free, i never got paid any money for this project). By the time i finished my degree i had done about 5 of such free projects (now i have a portfolio of my work).

Do you know how i got my first professional job?
I will tell you. I was doing a cleaning job in my university, i had a floor i cleaned every morning before going to class, my floor had about 20 offices or maybe more...can't really remember the exact number. There was a particular office that i hated cleaning, it was always messy and took me lots of time to clean (time that i did not have). Typically i finish my shift before the lecturers come in, but on this particular day, i was cleaning this useless office and the professor came in before i had finished. I greeted him like he was my creator and apologised for not finishing his office on time (even though he was the one who came early). The bastard just nodded and didn't even say a word to me.

I didn't know that moment was when my life would change. 2 weeks later i attended a seminar in the University and this bastard professor was one of the speakers! Next morning when i got to his office to clean, he was already there. I was taken aback and before i could say anything he asked if i was at his seminar the day before, i answered in the affirmative. We got talking, he told me a bit about himself and his research interest (the focus of the seminar) and he got to know i could write software. He said they needed a software intern that could do some work for the research group. I didn't even think, I said yes and that was "my first unofficial professional job", working for his research group. Bye bye cleaning job.

When i finished my masters degree, the research group recommended me to one of their industry partners. My interview revolved around discussing my portfolio (the free job i did for the care agency and the systems research group). I got the job and that was my "first proper official professional job" and I gave it my all. 4 months before my post-study work visa finished the company sponsored me for my 5 year work visa, my parents were crying when i told them over the phone. I will be honest and say that i was underpaid during the period i was on the sponsorship visa, other colleagues with same level of experience or even less were earning double what i was earning...but i kept telling myself, this will not be forever. But when i got my citizenship, it's like i was launched into a new world. I left the company and got a job with a Swedish company in UK that paid me a fortune compared to my previous salary. Not just that, by virtue of being an EU citizen 27 countries became open to me where i could go work and i took advantage of these benefits.

So you see, it can be done. Was it easy? Not at all, i went through hell. But i knew what i wanted for my life, had a plan and worked extremely hard and while i might not be rich, I think i have managed to achieve some of my dreams. You are still young brother, at your age i didn't have what you had. You CAN definitely do this.

So what is my advice?
Moving countries is not always the solution at times. If you haven't sorted out your approach and self-belief, regardless of wherever you go; you'll have the same problems. Also, whatever you do, get a second nationality before you return to Nigeria as that alone will open untold doors for you in future, even if things don't go to plan in Nigeria you know you can always activate plan b (second nationality). Start networking and investing in yourself, it won't yield fruits immediately but don't be discouraged, eventually your hardwork will pay off. The truth is advanced societies don't care about the colour of your skin all they care about is that you have something that they need! Make yourself that which they need!!

And when your situation improves and feel like you have achieved some of your dreams. Start investing in Nigeria. The country doesn't need more job seekers. It needs entrepreneurs. This is my story, I hope it motivates you to be strong.

This is really inspiring. Nice one op

Why must you sell below the market value? Getting the gold is the most difficult task. If you actually took pains to get it in large quantity(I'm guessing you mine it yourself), I don't think you would want to sell below it's market value.

Are you sure about this? How can I get more information?

Bro, use Google. From my understanding machine learning subset of data analysis. It's a technique for data Analysis.

Hi Op, there is this question I want to ask about content locking.
say I have a facebook page with a reasonable number of followers. I'm very sure an advertiser would not pay a publisher twice if the publisher invites a client to fill an offer twice.
The question is that, do CPA companies rotate offers to avoid the senerio ?

Beautiful tutorial

What do u need help with? Downloading and setting up react native
Or how to write codes in react native

Setting up react-native has been my headache. Nice profile name though, you must be a strong programmer "WhileTrue"

DonPikko:
do you have a strong knowledge of js & react?

I'm not strong with react, but my Javascript knowledge isn't bad. Thanks for your response

Please, is there anyone that can help me out with building mobile apps with React-native? I just have problem with getting started. Most tutorials I see online require downloading so many tools, I have followed most of these tutorials and till now, I haven't still found a way around it.
Please if you reside in Lagos and you can help, I'll seriously appreciate it.

Hello Board, thanks to everyone that has contributed to this thread. I applied to Andela and a link was recently sent to my mail to take the Andela Home study test. I have read few posts from here and I learnt that there is this "shopping cart" problem that seems Andela usually ask.
I'm not that good with Javascript (been using java for about a year), I picked Javascript because of Andela.

I have solved the problem, but I don't have a way of confirming if it will pass the test.

class ShoppingCart{
		constructor(){
			this.total = 0;
			this.items = {};
		}
		
		 add_item(item_name,quantity,price){
			this.total += quantity * price;
			this.items[item_name] = quantity;
		}
		
		 remove_item(item_name,quantity,price){
			this.total -= quantity * price;
			this.items[item_name] -= quantity;
			if (this.items[item_name] < 0){
				delete(this.items[item_name]);
			}
		}
		
		 checkout(cash_paid){
			cash_paid -= this.total;
			if (cash_paid < 0){
				return "Cash paid not enough";
			}
			return cash_paid;
		}
	}
	
	class Shop extends ShoppingCart{
		constructor(){
			super();
			this.quantity = 100;
		}
		
		 remove_item(){
			this.quantity -= 1;
		}
	}
	
	let sh = new Shop();
	sh.add_item("Gucci Bag",3,18500);
	sh.remove_item("Gucci Bag",1,18500);
	let bal = sh.checkout(60000);
	alert(bal);

The problem I have with the code is that, method remove_item doesn't work unless it is commented out from class Shop.
If what I did is right, is there any sense in overriding the remove_item method in the Shop class?

Thanks for those wonderful tips. you guys are awesome

I want to start developing mobile applications and I'm considering React Native. I don't have a good experience with android studio(my system is 4 gb ram and I don't know why it can't still cope with it).

I have seen various tutorials online to get started. Most of them require download several packages to get started, one even requires installing python 2.

I want to know the simplest way for a beginner to get started (I understand only Javascript).

Please, is android studio still neccesary. Virtually all the tutorials require installing it.

it's codelagos. I'm also participating
Do you have a question?

You might not need an institute. python is the easiest programming language I've seen.

Use YouTube
download "automate the boring stuffs in python" . it's one of the best PDF on python I've read

it's an interesting field. I'm looking for internship in it
