#like different forms of writing with different purposes and how to properly analyse them

[kate-bishops-girlfriend]

okay the last addition felt a little personal

cos i remember we spent about three months in year 8 or 9 in art learning how to draw really good eyes and it's now basically the only thing i can draw

and i was absolutely devastated that i can't find the art book that i used for that year, cos it had a shit ton of really good drawings of eyes that i was really proud of, and it's (i think) somewhere in my house and i just can't remember where

either that or i never asked for it back from the teacher, in which case it either got binned at the end of the year or it's in a drawer somewhere in that classroom to this day

like- here's one that i did in biro on some clingfilm wrapped around my finger:

i'm very much aware i went overboard with the lashes but i'm still proud of it to this day

“we need to teach media literacy in schools” guys was i really the only person paying attention in english class bffr

Why Salesforce Developers are Unexplained Forces of Business (2023)

According to the company’s own website, Salesforce is known to be the world’s number one customer relationship management (CRM) platform. It is a software whose sole purpose is to help businesses grow by helping them understand the specific needs of their customers by using certain cloud-based apps that are designed for sales, marketing, and service.

However, since no 2 companies are the same, their Salesforce requirements will be different as well. When this takes place, it is usually good to have a top Salesforce development company handy, a company that is well-versed will customise the software development and in providing tailor-made solutions.

If this is something that piques your interest or if you are someone who is already working in Salesforce but would like to up your skills, then this blog is for you.

So What Is A Salesforce Developer?

A Salesforce developer is any person who builds Salesforce applications across different Platform as a Service (PaaS) platforms. However, it is important to keep in mind that he/she does not need to work for Salesforce in any way, shape, or form.

What Do They Do?

 A developer dealing in Salesforce has a deep understanding of how it works along with sufficient experience with the platform. A Salesforce developer or a Salesforce development company is hired by an organisation to customise Salesforce to the unique needs of the hiring party. However, it should also be said that the developer can even be someone who is an in-house programmer who has the necessary skills to work with Salesforce. Some of the tools that are used by these developers include Visualforce and Apex and frameworks like Lightning Component.

Roles and Responsibilities of These Developers

One thing that can be easily noticed is that the roles and responsibilities of a Salesforce developer are pretty similar to those of any other professional developer working in a top software development company in India.

However, just for the sake of completeness, here are the roles and responsibilities of these developers:

·       Analyse user needs, and then plan, design, test, and develop software that meets their unique needs.

·       Come up with effective project plans and develop Salesforce solutions. Also add more value to the 3 stages of project work: definition, development, and deployment.

·       Provide useful suggestions regarding software upgrades for existing apps and systems.

·       Stay ahead of the transforming technological landscape of Salesforce, and .Net/Java platforms and also adapt quickly.

·       Develop every part of any application and then plan how those different parts can mesh together.

·       Create programs for use over the internet and for in-house users over the company intranet.

·       Properly handle inconsistencies in data and come up with processes that can counter any deficiencies.

·       Collaborate with other programmers by creating flowcharts so as to instruct them on how to write additional software code.

·       Ensure that a program runs efficiently by performing routine maintenance and testing.

·       Keep a record of the inventory of the company’s systems and applications for future reference, especially when it comes to upgrades.

·       Team up with other computer specialists to develop optimum software.

Other than the above-mentioned points, one must also remember that a Salesforce developer should always maintain a cordial rapport with the client to understand their operation and Salesforce implementation needs. For example, the developer must make it a point to figure out how the customer is trying to use the software and also identify the core functionality. This means paying extra attention to user needs that go well beyond the scope of the software, issues concerning security, and system performance.

Therefore, you should understand by now that a Salesforce developer has a lot on his/her plate. Their work is extremely challenging, however extremely rewarding as we are going to see below.

What Is The Salary Of A Salesforce Developer?

The average salary of a Salesforce developer in India is somewhere around Rs.500,000 per annum including both profit-sharing and bonuses. It only goes without saying that the bigger the company the more money they will pay for your services. Digital technology solution companies usually pay around Rs.10, 00,000 per annum. Big names in the field like Deloitte and Cognizant pay well above Rs.6, 00,000 per year.  

Salesforce developer salaries also vary according to the experience of the individual. An entry-level developer can expect his/her salary to be around Rs.3, 00,000 per annum. However, after gaining an experience of about 2-5 years the compensation can get close to Rs.5, 00,000 per annum. And if someone gains an experience of around 9 years the hefty paycheck can get close to Rs.10, 00,000 per annum.

It is also useful to remember that the salary of a Salesforce developer also varies according to the location of the individual and his/her job as well.

What Are The Benefits Of Hiring A Salesforce Development Team?

The benefits of hiring a dedicated Salesforce development team for your business are many. Let's look at some of these benefits as listed below:

1)      Building a core business

One of the best ways of managing your in-house resources is by outsourcing your Salesforce development needs. Instead of having an in-house team, you can find experienced and thorough professionals in the field of Salesforce development taking care of your workload.

2)      Skilled expertise

By having a quick look at the portfolio of the companies delivering dedicated Salesforce development services, you can get an idea of their expertise then and there. Therefore, by choosing a dedicated Salesforce team you can be certain of the fact that you have hired people with the right amount of expertise and skill set. They can not only understand your business processes but can also come up with the most apt cloud-based CRM solutions that are tailor-made for your business specifically.

3)      24/7 Availability

Needless a dedicated Salesforce development team will be ready to render their services round the clock. Nowadays, we live in a world where remote working has become the norm, and so have customisations and testing. Therefore, a team that will offer continuous support should always be sought out for. This way, even when the in-house team is sleeping, you will have a team of experts taking care of your CRM.

4)      Cost-efficient

You can also save on costs by hiring a dedicated Salesforce development team in India. As a matter of fact, you can save up to 60% of your total costs. You can make use of this saved money to build your core business and pay more attention to business growth.

Nevertheless, here are a few wise words from Josh Kaufman on outsourcing, it goes like this - “For everything we don’t like to do, there’s someone out there who’s good at it, wants to do it, and will enjoy it.”

And that pretty much sums it all up. If you are really looking to get the best benefit from Salesforce, outsourcing is the best thing you can go for.

 How to Become a Salesforce Developer?

After such an elaborate discussion on the roles and responsibilities of a Salesforce developer and the hefty compensation that comes with being one, you might ask “But how to actually become a Salesforce developer?” read on to find out about it!!

First, to begin with, most software developers including Salesforce developers have a bachelor’s degree in computer science, and software engineering along with excellent knowledge of computer programming. It is also useful to have knowledge and skills in the industry where these Salesforce skills can be put to the best of use. Moreover, you also need to have an understanding of Model-View-Controller design patterns, Object-Oriented Programming Principles, and Java, or .Net Programming.

Having an internship experience in a software business right after graduating from college also goes a long way. Arrangements like these can provide essential connections, skills, and much-needed experience. If you find it difficult to get a job as a developer, it is recommended to start as a programmer and then slowly work your way up to becoming a Salesforce developer.

In case, you want to become a Salesforce developer after a long time from graduating college, make sure to take an online course focussing on Salesforce development as it can teach you essential skills that are needed to get a job in a Salesforce development company. Certifications like these are crucial as they confirm to employers that you are armed with the skill set needed to do the job they want you to do.

What Are The Skills Required To Become A Successful Salesforce Developer?

In order to become a Salesforce developer there are certain specific skills that one needs to have and they are as follows:

·       Analytical Skills: Having sufficient analytical skills assists in analysing the client’s needs and also in developing the requisite software.

·       Communication Skills: These come in handy when dealing with customers as it might include explaining to them how an app works. It is also helpful in giving your juniors clear instructions on what needs to be done.

·       Computer Skills: It goes without saying that excellent computer skills are a must-have for a Salesforce developer.

·       Interpersonal Skills: a good Salesforce developer has to be someone who is doing teamwork at one point or another.

·       Problem-solving Skills: This skill is probably the bread and butter of every developer. Being a developer you are in charge of overseeing every stage of the software development, and you can be assured of the fact that there are going to be problems at one stage or another.

In addition, it is also helpful for developers to be detail-oriented and be able to think out of the box. The former means developers need to be creative and in the latter case, a great developer must be able to deal with all the small details.

Interview Tieg 2001 & Judge Amy

The Lightning Awards 2019 Interview: Tieg2001 Winner of Love Is In The Air Category with "Spectral Illusion"

Hello! My name is Amy and on behalf of The Lightning Awards: congratulations on your win in the Love Is In The Air Category! How do you feel about your win?

Hai hai, thanks for having me Amy! Truth be told, I was baffled when I was notified I had won the LIITA category, like; Spectral Illusion did feel like one of the better fanfic one-shots I've written in a long, long time, but I had never expected it to rival the works of other contestants. All in all; I was s h a k i n g ~.

Understandably so! It was well deserved too - Spectral Illusion truly is a wonderful story. Was there a specific inspiration or motivation behind writing the plot?

To be fair, Spectral Illusion's plot is the result of watching a documentary centred around paranoia, which, paired with my "current" interest in mental decline during my SI-writing days, flowed into the beginnings of its plot; namely, slowly dragging Matsukaze Tenma through a series of mental endeavours - which he unconsciously tried to block out, unknowingly waging a war with the traumatic event that had occurred.

I am curious, I find Matsukaze Tenma to be an interesting choice to write about mental decline. Any specific reasons why you chose him and did you ever consider a different character as well?

Ah, while a vast array of different characters, combinations, either from the original series or the GO seasons would have worked marvellously- none would be as fitting a character as Tenma. His optimistic, happy-go-lucky attitude makes for the perfect material since the effects of Spectral Illusion's tragic events slowly start to sink in along the way, leading to some noticeable changes. >:) #RipTenma,ButImmaSadist.

It really was a clever choice of character - to see such a bubbly character written in a way that portrays the hidden cracks of darkness from him was absolutely refreshing to read. Especially with your characterisation of Tenma and Tsurugi - how do you get your characterisation well done? Any tips and tricks for fellow writers out there?

Personally, I'm thoroughly convinced that a lot of current fanfic writers, well, y'know, try to write Tenma and Tsurugi's characters as they want them to be, primarily for story/ship purposes. However, I'm strongly opposed to this type of characterisation, as this, in the long-run of the story will lead to either character giving off this seemingly "unnatural" air. While Tenma's character is a far cry from Tsurugi's more complex-to-write persona (due to the initial distant Tsundere-turns-good-friend attitude), both their personalities should be respected if one wishes to properly utilise these characters for their fanfics. I remember, I read their entire wiki page a couple of time, rewatched some dialogue scenes to analyse their speaking patterns/habits.

All in all, know what you're working with, if you don't have a solid grasp on your source material, the product won't be dazzling. After all, in a similar fashion to a building requiring a strong foundation, so do stories, and these come in the form of well-executed characters.

I agree wholeheartedly with you. Out of curiosity, what was your favorite part of the entire story? Perhaps a specific section that you enjoyed writing overall?

My, my, there were various snippets of the one-shot that I loved writing - even if they were soul-crushing to the characters. One part, in particular, the moment Tenma is, technically speaking, home-alone at Aki's manor. At first glance, it seems perfectly normal for Tsurugi not to be thirsty and thus refusing to get a drink- though, after reaching the end; Tenma opening the door for Tsurugi, turning down the glass of water, etcetera gets a deeper, more ominous second meaning. It's a devious twist.

Then, of course, we have the graveyard scene, mwhahaha. My inner sadist truly enjoyed writing that part; from the moment the realisation of recent events finally caught up with Tenma to the immediate breakdown. While the tragedy was not over the top, I felt as though it needed time for everything to dawn on Tenma; which inevitably postponed his breakdown to offscreen SI.

Alrighty! Thank you so much for letting me interview you! One last question, is there anything you'd like to say for the Inazuma Eleven writing community?

Truth be told, ever since I discontinued my fanfiction works and began focusing primarily on new works, I have lost taps on the Inazuma Eleven writing community as a whole, however, if there is anything that I could say is to never let doubt obstruct your development, one is often too harsh of a critic when it comes to their own work- so, accept your work's imperfections because these imperfections are what make your works stand out from the crowd. :> Also, sorry not sorry for leaving x.

Eli and the G-Man

Since my love for the Half-Life series is reignited right now, I am now going to do what I like doing in any fandom I am in, and that’s writing analyses and hypotheses picking random aspects of the franchise apart, specifically my favourite characters! Oh no!

Since my favourite character just so happens to be the G-Man, possibly one of the most mysterious and obscure characters in video games, anything that I come up with or mention is really nothing more than my personal perception and wild speculation. In fact, I am even hesitant to call anything a set headcanon because this mystery is, for me, one of the things I love about the character and anything that strives to paint a clear picture just does not feel right to me. But, just as most of the fandom, I still have my own ideas and a desire to share them. Here goes nothing! Major spoilers for HL:A ahoy!

One of the things I started wondering about, and something that I don’t see get that much notice, is the possible reason/motivation as to why the G-Man decided to convey the same ominous and extremely vague warning “Prepare for unforeseen consequences” to Eli twice, or rather in general, why he made his presence/involvement known to him when all it seems to do is unnerve and downright enrage Eli, coupled with him “using” and “abducting” his daughter at the end of Half-Life: Alyx, and Eli knowing of the G-Man’s involvement in providing the crystal sample that set off the Resonance Cascade (RC). Evidently, Eli distrusts the G-Man and goes so far as to vow to kill him for what he did to Alyx (and other things likely).

On the surface you might think that pitting an undoubtedly influential person (”entity”) against yourself and making things a little... personal appears disadvantageous as this “entity” is likely going to try to go after you. (Though perhaps the G-Man does not consider this a genuine threat at all, being as powerful as he is...) However, from what comparatively little we see of the G-Man, his modus operandi seems to be moving particular pieces in the setting where their actions - entirely based on what they consider right in whatever situation he puts them in, mind you - are going to benefit his own obscure plans. He seems to appear only to those he deems crucial to his own goals, given that some characters who technically could have seen him never mention him and his overall sporadic appearances, sometimes even outside of the confines of the 3D world. The only ones who are aware of his presence otherwise possess some form of psychic powers themselves (Vortigaunts, Nihilanth, likely Combine).

Now, despite him being some kind of Eldritch alien deity (as I perceive the G-Man anyway) and likely following much different moral standards and such, I highly doubt that he is oblivious to the effects his actions have on people on an emotional level. Especially with HL:A in mind, it’s easy to assume that he, overall, might have a good idea of where his own decisions lead. It can be assumed that he is fully aware of how his actions affect Eli, his perception of the G-Man, and ultimately the course of actions he might take based on it. With the point about his sporadic appearances above considered, the image I am getting is that his “warning” to Eli was entirely deliberate, thought-through, and like everything else he does, serves to “nudge” events in a particular direction, like the G-Man put it, just subtle enough to tick Eli off. 

For all intents and purposes, the G-Man could have technically remained unknown to Eli by simply not saying a word - be it directly or indirectly - and his sole involvement could have been to bring a child Alyx to him during the Black Mesa incident without appearing in front of him. But this is not what he did in the end. Eli is now aware of the G-Man, knows about his influence in the RC, knows that he is the one who rescued Alyx and later took her “for his own damn reasons”, and has good reasons to assume that whenever the words about “unforeseen consequences” fall, something terrible is going to happen soon. The G-Man, being his obscure self, never quite divulges what that is of course, leaving people confused (Alyx) or angered/distrustful (Eli; perhaps the Vortigaunts as well?).

Subsequently, my hypothesis regarding why the G-Man now has Eli involved like this, aside from the more obvious “Eli is a key figure in the story’s conflict”, is that he actually WANTS him to shift his focus to the G-Man himself and attempt to take hostile action against him, possibly serving as a distraction from whatever his original aim was (my guess goes towards destroying the Borealis as this was what he wished before he died in the “first” version of the events).

A lot of people, at least judging from numerous Youtube comments on the HL:A ending, seem to speculate that the G-Man is now going to be the major antagonist in the next game with Eli and Gordon trying to free Alyx and even killing the G-Man. To be clear, I myself am vehemently opposed to the idea of the G-Man ever being becoming a clear-cut villain since it defies his original concept of being a neutral party, neither an ally nor an enemy, and could easily ruin the Eldritch mystery tones. I firmly hold on to the idea of him staying this “intangible” being that he appears to be (to me). At most one can either stall him, cross his plans, or “contain” him, but actually fighting him? Absolutely not. (You’d think the Combine, after trapping him in the Vault, could have attempted to do such, but it’s clear they “merely” beamed the apartment building up and encapsulated the room he was in in that icosahedron cell; which creates the impression that he would be extremely difficult to approach as a physical entity. And all that trouble with the Vault just to contain him!). Though, honestly, I still do trust Valve enough to come up with something great and reasonably-unpredictable, just like they always did with the games up-to-date. Only time can tell...

Anyway, still, I don’t think it would be far-fetched to assume that whatever Eli has planned might aim towards crossing the G-Man one way or another - something I now speculate is exactly what the G-Man WANTS him to do, as concluded in this post. Whether such an action will be beneficial to Eli’s goals on the long run or not is impossible to tell, just as the ultimate outcome of the G-Man’s plans is (I suppose this will depend on who you are asking obviously). Chances are, perhaps Alyx will be put back on the physical plane and actually meet Gordon during the course of the events before they can even properly attempt to free her, and Alyx might develop some different/new insights into the whole situation - whatever it may be - during the course of her own adventures. I think it would be cool to hear HER views on the G-Man, now that we have a hero who actually talks and directly interacted with the “sinister interdimensional bureaucrat”. Or maybe I am not too fond of the idea of Alyx being “reduced” to a damsel in distress as far as the plot is concerned... However, this is already straying into wild, (unfounded) speculation and something to be discussed more closely for another day.

To summarize, I speculate that the situation and relationship between the G-Man and Eli, and perhaps by extension Alyx and Gordon, is quite intricate and goes way beyond (or rather a different direction altogether) the G-Man becoming downright antagonistic. Eli might be hostile in his views of the G-Man - for understandable reasons - but any actions based on said hostility are being deliberately evoked in him to get him to take a certain path that is beneficial to the G-Man and his employers’ goals on the long run. Whether or not it is “good” or “bad” for our heroes still cannot be said, and I am personally hoping that the G-Man will very much stay his own “faction” that is neither allied nor hostile. As Mike Shapiro himself said in an interview, the G-Man has the “long game” in mind.  

[lacktastrophe]

I always wanted to write about this sometime earlier this year when ‘High Expectations’ and Mutual Assurance was being released. Now I’ve given myself the chance, let’s go back and talk about how good this chapter was for Paulo.

Six months waiting for the girl of your dreams to come back to you only to find after so many years of trying and six whole months of anguishing over her sudden disappearance, she doesn’t reciprocate your feelings at all and she’s only interested with hanging out with some other jerk-ass loser, and “Heh” is the only thing you find you can say. And immediately minutes after, instead of lashing back or letting the situation pass over with someone who took out their anger and frustrations on you, you instead take an initiative and apologise for pushing them to a breaking point and losing their cool.

There’s something to be said - if there ever was a time to become a fan of Paulo, it was at both of these crowning moments where the results of Paulo’s numerous trials and errors over the last few years could be properly showcased - having started out as an immature kid with an insecurity of their softer side, who was mean and violent to others - to having reached a point where he was not afraid to be able to hug and beg for forgiveness from someone who he envies, and also once considered a rival for Lucy’s affection.

Suffice to say, none of it would’ve been truly possible if Lucy didn’t take her leave of absence. Her absence allowed Paulo to develop in so many different ways. It’s not to say it couldn’t have happened without her; their reunion in ‘After you’ would help Paulo develop further in consolidating the last few remaining lessons in the problems he still faces. But Paulo would’ve never have been able to get to the place he appears to be at now without meeting new people and going on a spiritual journey towards developing a sense of maturity, something he just didn’t have at the start of the comic, progressively building up an understanding of what it truly takes to be a real friend as the story unfolds.

Paulo has shown some powerful character development in his darkest time.

Why stop at just those two chapters?

Welcome to the Paulo Masterpost - Where we explore Paulo from the start of their journey to where we are now.

This has taken two weeks of on and off writings between train trips to and from work. It’s by far the largest sub-project I’ve undertaken. 

I’ve played with a number of different ideas in how to explore Paulo’s development, and I’ve settled on adapting ‘The 12 stages of the Hero’s journey’ to explain it. 

If you haven’t heard of this structure before, it’s a very popular storytelling formula for character development.  You’d find the most prolific examples employing this structure in most literature and movies like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. The general premise of the formula consists of characters moving out of what would be considered their normal life, going on a journey, encountering some crisis, and coming back renewed with some sort of knowledge or awakening. 

As an example using the two examples I alluded to above; Luke and Frodo become aware of a higher purpose, both have a mentor, both leave their home in pursuit of this purpose, both meet all sorts of new characters who may join them on their journey (some we can call friends), encounter trials and return with some experience that changes them. 

You can see an example of the 12 stages in the image below.

The magic of this formula is that it can be adapted to most narratives even if it wasn’t a forethought originally. Certain events in the story mark certain stages in the above graph. 

But these events are all up to own own perspective, which is why this formula is very adaptable. For example, in the case of Bittersweet Candy Bowl, depending on how we choose to look at it; the Call to Adventure could be the kids as they make their way through high school. It’s something they all have in common. On the other hand, the kids going to school could be the Ordinary world, the call to adventure could well indeed be for an object or a person; be it Lucy, or even Tess, Jasmine, Rachel. It all depends on your perspective.

There may be a point where the hero chooses to refuse the call. Like in StarWars when Luke goes back to his farm, only to find it razed to the ground.

Mentors include best friends with unwavering loyalties, thresholds include new environments, challenges are friends or new ideas, there is a dark period for our characters, but some of them will come back changed from these events, for better, or worse.

Keep in mind this is not a comprehensive guide to all-things-Paulo. It’s not possible to analyse everything that happens. Instead, we are only going to be touching on significant events that we know have had an effect on Paulo, pushing him ever more forwards towards his goal, whatever that truly is.

Let’s get started.

We’re first introduced to Paulo as early as in Chapter 1; he’s introduced as a young orange-furred Somali who appears to have one thing going in his life; his affection for Lucy. He’s known for his playfulness, boldness and his boyish-charm...

But we come to know Paulo more through the negative traits he possesses; he’s rude, crass and condescending to people around him, he’s particularly violent to Mike. Most importantly, Paulo is a womaniser. He will seemingly pull the moves to charm any female (bar a select few such as Daisy, Sue or Amaya). Compared to most of his friends and the kids around him, Paulo comes off as being rather immature. There’s no need to sugarcoat this piece of knowledge, every bit of anguish and tragedy that will befall Paulo will generally be the result of his immaturity, and it would continue to plague him well into the comic.

Daily life for Paulo appears to revolve around appearing cool, masculine, and being a real charmer to girls. He can get nearly anyone....

...But just not Lucy, someone he has a strong affinity for, who are also somewhat abrasive to his advances. In fact, a lot of Paulo’s advances on Lucy are reciprocated with violence. This is par the norm happening time and time again. Even when he’s chasing other people, he’ll always go back to Lucy. It becomes an obsession. 

Despite such an introduction into what would appear to be a very troublesome character, we are met with a juxtaposition early in the comic. We learn quickly in ‘The Burden of Parenthood’, where the kids tasked with nurturing a mechanical baby, a different side to Paulo; a softer more caring side which appears to exist out of compulsion for caring for a mechanical baby. This different side to Paulo manages to achieve him the highest mark in the class.

There is an irony that exists behind Paulo’s development throughout the comic, and this makes it all the more tragic; for a brief period before the start of the comic, Paulo is capable of displaying more maturity than a lot of his kids in his year (as seen in BCI comics like “Baby Blues” ). We learn more about Paulo in later chapters, we learn when he first moves into Roseville he starts out no different from any of the other kids. While initially becoming interested in Lucy having met her for the first time, he lacks the confidence to speak to her. His eagerness to overcome this first hurdle results in receiving ‘Confidence Lessons’ to gain the needed confidence to speak to Lucy by an older kid who’d later be known as Alejandro, and being influenced to believe that girls are dead-crazy for masculinity. This sets Paulo’s character foundation for the majority of Volume 1, with his softer effeminate side becoming an insecurity he feels uncomfortable sharing. Time and time again, Paulo’s immaturity puts others and himself at certain risks, and routinely butting heads with people of whom he cares about. 

Without looking too deeply into Paulo, we really initially put in a position where it feels his place in this story is to act like the third wheel in this love triangle between Mike and Lucy. We believe on this initial read, Paulo’s real goal is Lucy.

This isn’t the case; Paulo’s real journey is about growing up and attaining a sense of maturity.

With this hypothesis we can assume perhaps the refusal in the 12 stages is Paulo’s reluctance to continue exploring his softer side as seen in ‘The Burden of Parenthood’.

Paulo is not alone in this adventure, one of Paulo’s closest friends since moving to Roseville is Daisy. Despite being originally paired with Lucy in “The Burden of Parenthood”, she would become his replacement partner. She would be the first to become acquainted with Paulo’s softer side.

We would assume that Daisy is this mentor as per the 12 stages. These mentors are people who form a close, supportive relationship with the main character, and their dedication towards them are unwavering. We know that this is the true state of their relationship through their interactions, and how they both support each other in and outside each other’s company throughout the comic.

For example, in the below, Daisy supports Paulo’s caring capacity having saved a bird in “Helping Hands”, telling him girls are attracted to the same caring attitude he showed during “The Burden of Parenthood”.

Could you imagine how things could’ve panned out had he listened?

When talking about relationships, Daisy tries to convince the other girls that a softer side of Paulo exists.

Daisy chooses Paulo’s side of the events against her then-boyfriend.

This relationship isn’t one-sided. 

Paulo gives support to Daisy about an insecurity she has with her appearance.

Paulo is still supportive about Daisy’s happiness even if it means restoring the relationship she had with a person he himself can’t bring himself to accept.

And the consolidation of Daisy’s constant support to Paulo observed in his thoughts in ‘After you’, in the very presence of the girl he believes he mindlessly loves.

It’s kind of a shame neither of these characters just get together, they’re admittingly perfect for each other. Unfortunately, this wont come to pass since neither of them can admit their true feelings for one another. Paulo thinks of Daisy like a sister, it’s the reason why he simply wont pull the moves on her or simply pop the question.

But there’s also a problem from Daisy’s side that needs to be addressed that may prove to be an inhibitor:

But let’s get back to Paulo.

Paulo’s character development really starts to kick off as soon as the kids become freshman in Highschool, officially reaching a point in the 12 stages called the ‘threshold’ - where the characters are put into a different environment and come against challenges that question, or reinforce their values. Here, Paulo starts encountering numerous Trials in the form of people and concepts that challenge the beliefs he grew up with. Such early trials for Paulo includes Tess; a girl he finds himself interested in, who wont take him. This relationship is played with often, particularly throughout volume 2. At times it’s hinted it might be because she’s not going to be around in their final year. But ultimately, it’s because she finds him too immature. 

Paulo also faces interpersonal challenges with his friends, even clashing against ideals with Daisy who’s now struggling with an inferiority complex about her inability to find a romance and her appearance. 

One of the more significant events includes when Abbey, an acquaintance Paulo doesn’t get along with, enters a relationship with Daisy. With Daisy’s attention going to her new boyfriend. Paulo no longer has the close support he once had. Now he’s on his own.

Added complications to the challenges these trials possess, are the temptations which seek to divert the hero from their goals. What these temptations are comes down to your own interpretation. In BCB, I feel these are other people at their school. In fact, characters can be all of three things in this context; trials, temptations, and goals. For example; Tess is certainly a Trial for Paulo, the result at the end of the rainbow could be either Tess’ love, or deeper understanding into himself. But she is a temptation from Paulo’s supposed original goal; Lucy. But goals also shift, so it may have been possible Tess could have been an end goal realised for Paulo, had he been able to fulfill requirements to succeed.

Certainly, a lot of potential for different outcomes and ways to interpret BCB. You might be wondering then why settle on maturity, but this can only be answered much later.

In context with BCB, many of these trials don’t have resounding conclusions. As per the title of the comic - they are often bittersweet, as is the case with the majority of Paulo’s. Because of this, some of the hard lessons in the chapters are not put into practice until much later in the comic.

It’s worth noting Paulo’s first ‘victory’ (depending on your viewpoint), is when Paulo chooses not to sleep with Lucy during ‘Another shoulder’, choosing not to take advantage of the situation in the state she exists in having confessed to Mike and having her feelings rejected. 

Despite having Lucy right on his doorstep, something he’d been wanting all this time, Paulo proves he’s not a scumbag who’d use her weakest moment to his advantage. 

Paulo’s interaction with David afterwards however sets Paulo up for consecutive and significant failures when Paulo’s insecurities are called into question. Paulo’s ‘are we/are we not in a relationship?’ with Tess is already on rocky ground and is being pushed to its limits every time Paulo goes to chat up other girls. The final straw almost immediately when Paulo is used by Jessica and Rachel to get revenge on Tess, angering both Tess and Lucy. The trial with Tess is forever lost when Paulo consigns himself to another temptation; Jasmine, causing him to abandon (temporarily) his quest for Lucy.  The lessons learned from Tess’ trial will not be recognised for quite some time.

 Around this period, Paulo’s character development stagnates while with Jasmine. Despite a loving, friendly, non-sexual relationship, it’s an easy going relationship with no real challenge to Paulo’s character. But it’s far from perfect; cracks start to develop when Jasmine’s penchant to be involved in extra curricular activities draws away the time they can both spend together. When Paulo confronts Jasmine about this, the results are not pretty.

It simply comes down to both of their needs, but Jasmine takes this the wrong way and goes straight for one of Paulo’s insecurities. Leaving in a huff, this gives time for Paulo to rethink what he really wants in life. Paulo resolves to terminate the relationship and go back to just being friends if she just can’t manage to make time for him. Jasmine would end up resolving this by giving up her violin lessons, but having spent the following whole day babysitting Lucy with a bus trip gone wrong moments prior, Paulo begins to rediscover his affinity for Lucy. Eventually, these feelings become realised and Paulo concludes it’s unfair to keep stringing Jasmine along. After consulting with Tess, Paulo displays the needed maturity to decide to break off his relationship with Jasmine, setting him back on his quest. It comes to naught as the time lost from the diversion comes at a great cost — his quest moves away. 

Any chance to have these two get back together is immediately marred by certain events one after the other, first by a fit of jealousy...

and Paulo allowing another person to be all over him immediately, even if it wasn’t intended.

To rub salt in the wound on their breakup, Jasmine reflects on their time together.

Jasmine’s good at finding those insecurities. These two could’ve gotten along forever had Paulo been able to display some patience and maybe some empathy. But the damage was done long before, Paulo had determined there was someone else.

~

With Lucy gone, this seems like lowest point in Paulo’s life.

Paulo encounters Mike, his supposed rival for Lucy hanging out by the old Tree in the park, and he takes out his frustration on him.

These two are not the best of friends. They have never really quite gotten along and frequently Paulo has used Mike to his own advantage; such as convincing him to buy him drinks on the supposed chance Paulo can win him a bike. Deep down, Paulo is envious of Mike, he’s the opposite of Paulo in a lot of areas he’s insecure with; he’s intelligent, and all the girls like him without having to try as hard as Paulo does. More importantly, Lucy would always hang around Mike, even when she couldn’t stand him.

Expecting the worst, Mike prepares for a beatdown. Paulo had done so earlier whenever he became so agitated with Mike. Instead, Mike witnesses the unexpected for him; Paulo uncontrollably breaking down in front of him, spilling his feelings onto the floor. 

Unable to bring himself to Daisy, who is now spending more time supporting Abbey, Paulo has no means of accessing direct support like he used to. While it’s possible he could have gone to someone, he feels there’s no one else, there’s no comfort zone anymore.

He confides his feelings with his rival, and Mike, even without needing to owe anything, shows sympathy in their darkest times.

Despite this brief moment, Paulo is still too insecure with his softer side to allow any strong support from another male at this time. His values towards masculinity keeping him at odds with Mike. 

This moment is significant. It’s a direct contrast of where we ended up in Mutual Assurance. Lucy’s disappearance marks the point where Paulo undergoes some rapid and progressive development. 

Paulo is not without help during this otherwise dark period. As per the 12 stages, by this time the hero receives some form of critical help, whether it’s friends or items that helps them on their quest. For Luke, this was the Rebel Alliance, or for Frodo, the group of races forming the Fellowship of the ring in LOTR. 

In Bittersweet Candy Bowl, this helper character turns out to be Rachel, who Paulo runs into by coincidence after splitting off from Mike. Paulo somehow finds himself in her bed and quickly in a relationship with her.

Not to confuse anyone, but it could be argued even at this stage going back to what I said much earlier about the events around the 12 stages, it’s entirely possible to look at this moment and suggest that Rachel is the mentor that Paulo was destined to meet, and not Daisy. It’s certainly appropriate, she doesn’t shy away from telling Paulo when he’s done wrong to his face.

Regardless of either option, this relationship serves as a ‘friendship with benefits’ in more places than one; the biggest benefits of Rachel for Paulo are the people she surrounds herself with; Matt, Jordan, Jessica and Madison, all of them a year older than Paulo, wiser, and are able to lend their experiences and help define and re-evaluate Paulo’s sense of values. Like before these lessons come in the form of trials, as the result of Paulo’s actions up to this point start meeting breaching points between old and new friends.

We stay in this period of new trials between friends and enemies for quite a while. Furthermore, this period is defined when, seeking advice for that stage of their relationship; Daisy pops the question to Paulo what it was like when he lost his virginity.

This event marks the period of reflection for Paulo. While it’s a long and slowly drawn out process, Paulo slowly starts to make considerations of his actions and their consequences through interactions with his and Rachel’s friends, leading up to Lucy’s return.

With Lucy gone and no safe space to head back to. All that Paulo can do is search for another meaning to live for.

And Paulo struggles to accomplish this. There was only Lucy. He has nothing else.

Tensions begin to rise in the group following Lucy’s disappearance with the blame game being shifted around and friendships are pushed to their breaking points. Paulo is not immune to these trials, in fact, almost becoming central to them, as they begin to appear to pit him against his friends. Worse still, these chapters really push Paulo as nothing appears to really go his way. 

Paulo takes out his frustrations on his friends, is grilled by them in return, and makes critical decisions that will affect relationships in the future. Nothing appears to go right. And unchanging, like before; these trials end on such a bittersweet note where Paulo is neither the winner or the loser.

We only learn upon review of BCB chapters during this point aren’t so much about Paulo against his friends or the world in general, but Paulo against himself. As sad as it is, the results of these trials do not have an immediate effect on Paulo. But they’re there, and slowly redefining his sense of values and character as time goes on.

An example of such understanding can be observed in Critical hit. 

Critical Hit was one of those chapters where it felt like nothing was attained by the conclusion. Even at the end of Sue and Paulo’s fight, it didn’t feel like there was a resolution. Despite the mean things Sue and Paulo said to each other, their friendship was neither improved or diminished. It was all an argument, a misunderstanding. 

 Looking beyond the fight and to the last page, we only begin to understand the devil in the details once everything was said and done:

After explaining his reasons for only dealing with the problems he wants to, Paulo comes to realise upon staring back at the black picture the error with the words he said to Sue; If you only pick and choose which problems you want to face, the result might not be what you really want.

There was some sense in the words that Sue said to Paulo; if he wasn’t so scatterbrained and kept his attention on Lucy, maybe he’d have gotten what he really wanted. Paulo lacked discipline.

Other chapters contained a lot of important life lessons for Paulo.

Paulo found his sense of humour put him at constant odds with his friends. Even David in this scenario wasn’t laughing when Abbey was hurt in Happy Hour.

Some things heal with time.

Paulo found him putting aside his selfish hatred of Abbey for a close friend’s happiness, even at the cost of his own.

You need to put yourself in someone else’s shoes before you can judge them.

One of Paulo’s defining moments is meeting and getting to know Matt. Similar to how Lucy confided in Zachary - an outside observer about her relationship with Mike. After mistakenly encountering him as a threat to his relationship with Rachel, and then later taking out his anger and frustrations on him due to his friendly and welcoming character, Paulo opens up to a stranger about his insecurities and the feelings he suppresses. The result is knowledge and reassurance that he’s got plenty of time, and he’s already on the right track by being able to admit when he’s wrong.

Despite all this acquired knowledge and different perspective to challenge his own over the past few months, Paulo still makes frequent mistakes and shows no sign of changing. In fact, Paulo still acts like he does years before; he acts without thinking, he says stuff without meaning it. Paulo has yet to make giant steps towards change for himself. Paulo does not show the fruits of the experiences he’s undergone.

Something crucial is missing.

At this point in the comic Paulo starts displaying interpersonal issues; Paulo tries to avert his own change. He does not take the need to change well especially when he feels he’s the only one changing and his friends are not. Paulo is deathly envious of his friends who are both academically well off than he is. Paulo has the knowledge on how to fix his problems, but Paulo can’t bring himself to simply do this like how everyone else does. Instead, Paulo relies on his old behaviour to make up for his inadequacies.

But this will not stand for long.

Paulo has been avoiding a few notable trials which are reaching boiling points, such as staving off serious tension between Daisy, Abbey and himself. After Abbey assaults Paulo in the bathroom during “Guest of Honour”, Paulo is particularly evasive around Daisy. Unable to bring himself to talk to Abbey directly or seek assistance from someone else about this problem (Paulo is far too prideful to victimise himself), Paulo attempts to appear distracted when Daisy tries to talk to him by chatting up other girls. This callous behaviour having multiple repercussions across all his friends. It causes Daisy to feel isolated and alone, causing Abbey to uphold his misconception that Paulo is nothing but a bad person, and more importantly, his attitude is starting to rub against Rachel’s friends, particularly Madison in a very very bad way. As far as she is concerned - Paulo and Rachel are in a relationship even if Paulo considers it a FWB friendship. 

Madison calls out this behaviour.

Madison sets up probably the biggest lesson to Paulo yet, which also happens to be the missing thing from earlier; Paulo lacks empathy - Paulo is unable to understand and regard the feelings of those around him, particularly how his actions affect those around him. Paulo found himself as the odd one out when Abbey was hurt at Rachel’s party. He’s unable to bring himself to regard Rachel’s feelings. By extension, he’s unable to understand exactly why Abbey harbours such a deep hatred of him. He’s not even able to realise how Daisy feels when he ignores her.

Lucy will come to consolidate this point when she returns and the two go onto a date by letting Paulo know that Abbey doesn’t have it all out for him, and sometimes his actions are the cause his own grievances. Paulo never once considered things from Abbey’s perspective - the same mistake Lucy made with Mike from her ribbing, and look where it got her?

-

In the same chapter where Madison cooks Paulo, we learn Lucy has returned back to Roseville. 

In the 12 stages, at some point the hero has to go into ‘the cave’, a point towards the end of the journey where the hero faces an interpersonal crisis’ or a terrible danger. (Death Star battle in Star Wars, or Mordor/Shelob’s Lair - LOTR).

We are at that moment, and this cave is dark - Paulo is lost as fuck. Nothing is sacred, friendships and relationships are on the line as Paulo encounters his harshest trials of yet.

Immediately after, Paulo will need to face the Ordeal, the physical test Paulo has to win against in order to survive. (Trusting in the force - Star Wars. Separating from the ring - LOTR)

Lucy is that Ordeal. The remarkable progression Paulo has made is threatened with Lucy’s return. Paulo displays the same behaviour he did in Volume 1 in her presence.

To Paulo, Lucy represents familiar ground - something from the past that doesn’t challenge him. Nevermind the fact that in the six months where Lucy had disappeared from Roseville, she made no attempt to keep in contact with any of them in that time. Paulo is looking to look past this, for them to be together again.

There is a deeper meaning to this relationship that Paulo cannot overcome, and it is indeed appealing to him; tired with being the only one forced to have to change, and faced with an opportunity to have things go back to the way things used to be, Paulo is willing to go all-in for a taste of nostalgia. 

However this is temporarily impeded when Sue intervenes and stops him from following Lucy outside during Lunch that same day. Nothing else is sacred to Paulo at this point, after taking his frustration out on Mike having suspected he is the reason for her avoidance of the group, he then takes it out on Daisy, angering Abbey. When Abbey demands Paulo apologise to Daisy, Paulo reveals Abbey assaulted him in the bathroom at the con. Faced with choosing a side, Daisy chooses to side with Paulo, and Abbey ends their relationship.

It’s a bittersweet moment, a long standing issue is dealt with, but only at the expense of Daisy’s happiness. It’s only out of sheer coincidence since their relationship was already on troubled waters already that this would be for the better. 

On the following day, Paulo is still giving Daisy the cold shoulder. Paulo feels the need to blame Daisy for a lot of the hardships he’s been facing. Daisy finally lets Paulo know how she feels.

Whether or not Paulo is justified in thinking this, Daisy doesn’t want to break off their friendship. Paulo is her closest friend, she admires Paulo too much. And deep down, Paulo doesn’t want to break off this relationship either. He feels so upset at himself for getting between her happiness, they really shouldn’t be friends. But Daisy won’t have that. Daisy’s happiness is by being friends with Paulo. 

Feeling sorry for Daisy, and maybe understanding her feelings a little better, Paulo promises he’ll see about changing his shift so he can attend her birthday.

But then there’s another problem that needs to be dealt with, someone else’s feelings are at the breaching point. 

Paulo has a chance to fix this but unfortunately, time runs out on this relationship.

A very bittersweet end to this trial. It is a question at this stage whether not this breakup needed to happen in the first place, or if it was in vain.

Having missed his chance to talk to Lucy personally the previous day, Paulo is desperate enough to skip a class in order to catch her around her house.

He invites her to a date at the carnival that evening, and Paulo can’t contain himself.

Paulo is more than happy to throw everything away. The only thing he ever wanted in his life was Lucy, everything else was secondary.

Things are going well, until they start talking about Daisy and Abbey’s relationship. Paulo starts feeling some guilt over Daisy’s happiness.

We get from the following pages that there are some some issues in Paulo and Daisy’s relationship.

Paulo is very caring deep down inside and is willing to go beyond for his friends, having helped Daisy time and time again with her relationship. In the same while, we understand it’s Daisy who is the reason Paulo relents against change. Indeed, Daisy has had little reason to change over the last few years despite her obsession with Mike. And that’s grating to Paulo. 

On the Ferris wheel, Lucy cannot keep up this charade, while embracing Paulo, Lucy finally reveals to Paulo there was never any intention on coming back to Roseville.

Lucy reveals it was her idea to leave Roseville, only staying around because she didn’t want to ruin the year for Sue, and she was only trying to win Paulo - maybe as an excuse to get back to Mike or to at least have someone who had fond memories of her. Lucy doesn’t feel she’s any better than Jessica, but Paulo is willing to look past that.

Without considering his relationship to Rachel for even a second, Paulo tells Lucy he’s waited, but Lucy is with the belief Paulo is cheating himself out of his own happiness by having to for her. 

Lucy starts dropping hints by telling Paulo that she feels she had played with his feelings. Even despite making out backstage during the play, Lucy reveals that even if she didn’t leave during January, she never would’ve taken Paulo.

Paulo cannot bring himself to agree to this revelation. He is reluctant to believe there is nothing between them. Lucy is forced to be blunt with him.

He’d been chasing a dream, they would never get together.

A question for the ages.

We are not out of the cave, nor done with the Ordeal yet.

Before they part, Lucy demands Paulo go to Daisy’s party, not for Lucy, but for both Daisy and himself. Sadly, karma is not without a sense of humour as Paulo’s past decisions....well....

Paulo reflects during the party by himself for a while, before Daisy, his childhood friend and/or mentor finds him, and they talk.

It’s a lovely reunion, especially when their ex’s bring each other’s ex’s to the party. It’s followed by a heart to heart.

Time will tell if this reunion will bare its fruits.

-

In High Expectation, despite Lucy telling Paulo that Abbey doesn’t have it out for him, Paulo begins to freak out during lunch after being stared down by him. Paulo begins to fear that there will be a retribution.

Having too much of his own personal problems reaching the boiling point, Mike starts reaching his threshold and tells Paulo to knock it off. Out of character for Mike to suddenly act this way, Paulo inquires about his problems. Mike doesn’t walk to divulge, Paulo being Paulo takes his phone away and tells him his real thoughts about Sandy...

It earns him his face into the table. When Mike runs off, Paulo refuses assistance from Daisy and runs outside, still having an inability to display ‘weakness’ to those around him.

Outside, he runs into Augustus and Lucy. Things do not work out well at all, as Paulo tries to search for the logic behind this encounter.

Despite Paulo’s best attempts, but Lucy does not offer him an explanation.

Consider these pages from Paulo’s perspective; none of this is making sense: Lucy chose to hang out with him at the carnival where they talked about what happened in her absence, she allowed him to come close, before...suddenly changing and breaking off the relationship for good. Paulo is trying to understand why she doesn’t hang out with them anymore, and Lucy offers him nothing, just more questions. 

Things start to click and Paulo begins to break down amidst the realisation from the date before.

These revelations really lift the lid on how much of a shortsighted selfish man-child Paulo can really be at his core, particularly when it concerns Lucy. Paulo has the audacity to state that he gave himself to her even though he was still dating Rachel in her absence, even if you want to consider that Jessica, Rachel and Jasmine were mistakes, Paulo is willing to throw anyone under the bus, so long as they can be together.

While these selfish desires are aired, so too are his real feelings for her. Indeed, why did you come back if you didn’t mean to be with me?

It’s a desperate, but vain effort.

Edit: Felt the need to return to this after months having been corrected that Lucy did indeed have sex with Paulo in the dressing room shedding a different perspective on the whole part of this chapter. It’s understandable why Paulo is upset having realised he’d been taken advantage of by the girl he actually loved. 

Finally understanding everything that Lucy meant on the ferris wheel, but unable to come to terms with his broken heart right there to continue to seek answers to the questions from earlier, Paulo abandons them, and leaves.

It’s possible to believe that the Ordeal is still on-going, but I have a feeling it might as well be over:

When we next find Paulo we find him at his locker talking to Daisy, we expect he’s still going to be in tears, we expect that for someone after YEARS of chasing this person, it’s hard to let go. For someone like Paulo, an immature kid, how is he going to move on, only having acting like the way he did just before?

But instead there’s a revelation...

An eye opener, none-the-less.

We’re not done however.

Without looking too deeply into Paulo’s revelation we easily suspect when Paulo comes across Mike again, we expect he’s going to take out this frustration on him, for Lucy, and for earlier just like when Lucy first moved.

But instead, we’re met with a surprise, he embraces him.

We’re now met with an imposter, this isn’t Paulo. This Paulo is able to show empathy and consideration.

It’s a turning point.

Well, I suppose we can’t quite expect that Paulo will become a new person all in one day. But maybe one day, Paulo will get over that insecurity.

The page ends with two once would-be rivals showing solidarity in their friendship. 

-

I’d want to think the old Paulo who refused to change died back on the sports oval when Lucy finally told him the truth(?) for a second time. The Paulo who clung to Lucy like he did in Volume 1 may be as good as over. Time will only tell.

We don’t know why Lucy is acting in the way she’s acting. Is it because she believes the people she hung out with aren’t really her friends, is it possible she’s trying to protect them from Alejandro and Toby because of her association to Augustus, or is it because Lucy saw that she was a catalyst for the problems in her circle of friends? 

The answer could be one of these, it could be all of these.

I want to feel that Lucy was ultimately trying to do Paulo a favour by breaking off the relationship for good; Paulo could not grow up without her leaving and discovering that he has more to live for than her. Even in Lucy’s presence there was nothing but a feeling of ownership and entitlement that plagued him and Lucy couldn’t help but notice it. She could have refused to date Paulo back when he offered to take her to the carnival, but I suspect Lucy began to recognise such regressive behaviour particularly when Paulo boasted about having skipped a class to beat her to her home. Paulo does not regard his education, and by extension, his future. 

Lucy needed to know if Paulo had changed at all in her time away, she wanted to learn more about what happened when she left and whether or not she made the right decision deep down. This is why she put up with him until the ferris wheel, the signs were all too obvious. Paulo needed other things to look forward to. Paulo still needed to grow.

The face Lucy shows near the end of their confrontation makes me want to believe that she saw an affirmation in her decision when Paulo exploded the way he did. There wasn’t a consideration in what Paulo said that ever indicated there was a thought for what was good for Lucy, it was only what was good for him.

There are hints in some of Lucy’s expressions that may give an impression that Lucy is initially against what she’s doing, that she may be lying about this whole thing in order to protect or really urge Paulo to try and live for himself for a change, and not for her.

They may well indeed be guilt instead. We just don’t know at this stage.

-

Lucy struggles the entire way, but the shock after hearing Paulo ask ‘Then why the fuck did you come back’ is a realisation that Paulo did not grow in the time Lucy was gone, and the harsh decisions she’s been making are the correct ones to her.

Paulo can not grow while there was but the slimmest chance they would be together. It’s what Paulo ever wanted from as far back as Volume 1. There have been times where Paulo has displayed the ability to grow, but it was only when other potentials, particularly those more mature than him came into the picture; Tess being the earliest example.

When Lucy returned to Roseville, every volume 1 trait of Paulo came back with it. Paulo was more than prepared to throw everything under the bus, even continue giving Daisy the cold shoulder for a chance to be with Lucy, although Paulo’s own feelings prevented this from happening.

Lucy did not want to be responsible for Paulo’s refusal to grow. Lucy does not want to deal with the same turmoil Tess had to put up with from Paulo himself. Lucy recognised she is a symbol of nostalgia to Paulo. Having had nothing to chase when Lucy moved away initially, Paulo went on a journey of self-discovery which challenged him over and over again. But constantly failing over and over again and experiencing multiple heart-breaks has its toll. When Lucy returned to Roseville, Paulo saw his out, and he went for it. If he were to have her, then there’s no more reason to change, he can be absolved. 

Lucy needed to end it. And she did, maybe at the cost of her own happiness deep down. Time will tell.

-

For Paulo, the ending of that chapter made it evident that Paulo likely expected this turn out from the beginning. This is why Paulo isn’t crying by the locker scene. Paulo knew the truth as far back as Acapulco. He was more than aware, he just needed it to be beaten into him. There was but a slither of doubt in his mind from that one time back in the play, he just needed it confirmed.

Maybe he’ll thank Lucy one day, but who knows for sure?

Paulo has now exited the cave having encountered the ordeal, whether he succeeded or not is anyone’s guess. But from that darkness he has returned with a gift; some semblance of maturity. We know it’s maturity because Paulo has already displayed the fruits of his labours; repairing his friendship with Daisy and regaining his mentor, and friend. And instead of showing violence and frustration to his would-be rival, Paulo has instead displayed empathy and begged for forgiveness from him. Mike is no longer his rival, Mike is his close friend. 

Appearing to be over Lucy once and for all, Paulo really appears to be a free man - He’s been seemingly reborn. We can only wonder what he will do with this gift. Paulo’s next stage in the 12 stages will be the road back, but back to where? Where will it take him? Will we go back to exploring the Burden of Parenthood again where Paulo’s deeper talents lay? Or will we go off on some larger journey?

Paulo is not infallable at this stage; he’s still a kid, he may yet struggle with his newfound knowledge and understanding. There are still trials and repercussions Paulo’s previous behaviour that still needs to be accounted for. Paulo appears to have been resurrected but is there another resurrection in the future? Maybe Paulo is still not complete as seen in Mutual assurance. 

Indeed, what about the Elixer the last stage promises, may there be a possibility that Lucy and Paulo will get back together again, or Paulo will see the biggest gift to him was in his best friend from the start?

We can only wait and see where we go from here. Time can only tell.

Laying the Foundations: Facilitation

Is a game ever just a game in Applied Theatre?

Applied Theatre, in whichever form it may be, utilises games as a primary way to break the ice and create a safe space. A game is never just that in Applied Theatre, it plays an essential role in the workshop medium, encouraging participants to step beyond their comfort zone and let their creativity and boldness run wild. When first meeting a group, a facilitator will use a game to break the ice and get to know their group. They will often start simply with a fun game which requires little cognitive engagement, but then increase in difficulty as barriers are broken down with the group. This process eases participants into the world of a workshop, and makes them feel comfortable to think creatively within the ensemble.  

“They gain the security of knowing that they are valued members of the group. They realise that their opinions matter and that their contributions and feedback are essential to the growth of a group” (Kelly, 2014, 01)

What Kelly is saying here is that by making participants feel comfortable and valued, you unlock another layer of creativity that allows those to contribute who would normally stay away from this realm of work. This shows how powerful game playing can be, by giving participants the opportunity to step out of that box, they can discover a world where their voice is so valued and integral to a process, and the cultural context of a lot of participants would mean they had not experienced the feeling of being valued before. Game playing also proves to participants that the fear of ridicule does not exist in the Applied Theatre world, knowing this fear has been extinguished in the initial stages, encourages participants to carry on through full force, all thanks to their new found confidence through the initial game playing. 

How would you describe the role of a facilitator?

An Applied Theatre facilitator has a very complex job with a longlist of skills required to successfully facilitate. They must devise a workshop, tailored to the specific needs of the group they will be working with and create a rhythm that combines energy, focus and concentration. It is essential the combination of these three elements flows perfectly, in order to keep participants properly engaged and to fight the conflict of resistance. David Kelly outlines the following skills essential to a facilitating job:

Energy

Focus

Concentration

Timing 

Clear instructions 

Specific warm up (focus on voice, body, etc…)

Applying relevant rules

Feedback (opening up discussion) 

Energy is especially important because as Kelly explains, it is ‘the fuel of a workshop’. The energy levels are completely in the hands of the facilitator and they must raise or lower those levels whenever the mood or context requires so. Energy is also something that is mirrored by the participant in reflection of the facilitator. It is important as a facilitator to analyse the mood of the group closely to make an educated decision on what your energy levels should look like. A great facilitator would be able to adapt their energy levels fluidly, matching the participants in order to eliminate any power struggle and create equality. 

We also read of the importance of Observance for a facilitator. Oftentimes, participants tell us their inner thoughts just through their mannerisms. A good facilitator will be able to spot signs such as day-dreaming, staring at the floor and folded arms in a timely manner and notice that participants displaying these signs may be dis-engaged or unfocused. The next step would be to refocus the participants, offering them something fresher and more tailored to them.

What is the purpose of feedback in an Applied Theatre session?

Feedback is extremely important in an Applied Theatre session, it offers participants a chance to reflect on new discoveries and find common ground with others on their feelings about the creative process. It is so essential to remember that if we are facilitating a group who are unfamiliar with theatre, they will have many questions and queries about this new form, by not leaving time for reflection, participants would question the process with doubt. They may ask themselves questions such as ‘What was the point in that?’ ‘How is that relevant to me?’ ‘Could I even use that in the real world?’. As a facilitator, those questions are so important to address, the hard work of facilitating would become redundant without the opportunity to ask ‘Why?’ to your participants. Feedback and reflections offers a chance to delve deeper into personal discoveries, which often occur during an Applied session. For example, in Education Theatre settings, the opportunity to offer feedback and questions is essential because it tests the participants to reiterate what they have learnt, and how their new knowledge has affected preconceived beliefs they already had. This is great because hearing those words vocally, instead of solely just in their own heads, solidifies the information and creates an ensemble feeling between the group as they are all experiencing the same process of education. 

 Feedback can also be a huge learning curve for resisting participants because it is an opportunity to learn to respect different opinions. Applied Theatre sessions would very likely see a range of opinions, this is because opinions that are present at the beginning are all vastly different, therefore the journeys those opinions go on would most likely still differ. A room full of different opinions would teach participants just how interesting it is to visit a subject from the eyes of someone else's opinion, encouraging them to listen and respect others views in the future. Kelly writes the following poignant statement-

‘The group will develop through reflecting on and learning from mistakes. The group will be empowered to find alternative solutions to problems within the work. This will increase their problem-solving abilities, and help their development as an ensemble’ (Kelly, 2014, 14)

This perfectly sums up why feedback is so important, because not only is it essential to the growth of a participant, it is essential to the growth of a facilitator by showing them deeper understanding of different types of personalities in Applied Theatre settings, and how to encourage them to participate to the best of their abilities.

Self Reflection

What informed and motivated my design decisions? 

WHY PROJECT:

For every project I make, I always start off by thinking and listing down about the things that I already know and also things that interest me. This time, I leaned more towards the things I already know. Following that, I started doing primary research instead of mainly relying secondary research as my theme is very personal and getting data through personal collection gives different experience and feeling. My results were very eye-opening and had helped me get through different ideas within the spectrum of theme I am working on which is about overthinking. The survey that I created has pretty much gave the whole answer for all the problems I faced throughout the project; things such as what mood, type, text, imagery etc. It has all the answers and gave me a lot of clues on how I will progress in this project.

COLLECTION- INTERPRETATION PROJECT:

I tried to become more unique in this project. I don’t personally curse in everyday conversations. Therefore, this topic is unfamiliar for me and I wanted to challenge myself. I found this interesting which led me to do my primary research which is deeply inspired by the questions I’ve always wanted to know in personal level. For example, there’s a question on that survey where I asked what are the swear words they know and used. After I completed my survey and got enough data to work with, I analysed it and started looking up for visual inspirations.

INTERVENTION- INTERPRETATION PROJECT:

When we’ve been briefed about the task for this project, I already decided to redesign the Korean lettering system, Hangeul as I am always interested about their language and culture. With the booming popularity of the Korean film/ tv film industry due to Parasite and promotion of Korean drama in Netflix which are aired to over 100 nations, I decided to set myself a brief to create a promotional poster and invitation for a film festival. I conducted experiment to gain inspiration and idea for the concept and that’s when I randomly found a masking tape and decided to play with camera angles to create new letter forms by moving the camera around the subject.

15 MINUTE CITY PROJECT:

I was inspired by the festivals and the culture of Igorot ethnic tribe specifically their attachment to nature and the significance of their tattoos. I linked this with Baybayin, an old Tagalog writing script and collaborated their designs. The textile and tattoo pattern of the Igorots were a combination of straight lines and simple shapes which is slightly opposite from the complexity of the Baybayin. I managed to create a middle ground between the polarity of their design as shown through my final outcome. In addition, the title of the festival, Baybayanihan comes from the root word ‘bayanihan’ which means ‘to happily and willingly unify to achieve a particular goal’ and baybayin is as it is, the term for the old Tagalog writing script. This is where I get the idea of having to call the members of the community to participate and volunteer to paint the city beautifully with murals as by doing this, people are practicing the memories of traditional practice and culture of the Filipinos.

 What changes and developments has my project gone through?

WHY PROJECT:

Idea wise, I don’t think I made a lot of changes. The changes I made are mainly in the way I considered different objects for imagery. Other than that, I think that I didn’t get to try different ways I can present my final outcome with different design drafts. I find my practice of jumping straight into a design without big further development an overall weakness. 

15 MINUTE CITY PROJECT:

I had so many ideas for this project and every time, I make a bold move in making drastic changes. For example, before I decided to do my final idea, I was going to do a crowd tracking detector app where users can see from a map viewed from above which places are busy and which are not based from how many dots there are in that certain place. The dots represent each individual that are in that place. However, this idea has too many issues such as if the users would allow their location to be publicly revealed which is not ideal as it breaks privacy. Therefore, I moved away from this idea and looked at the notes I have done previously and that includes about the research I have done about festivals and the Igorot tribes in the Philippines.

COLLECTION-INTERPRETATION PROJECT:

I conducted a survey with over 400+ response about how swearing has effects on them and I also conducted a secondary web research about the positive effect of swearing. I developed a mood for the project and that is to make it look colourful, lively and light hearted which is paradox to the original purpose of swear words: to show negative or bad reactions. The bright colour palette in the pieces has toned this down. I didn’t make many changes as I didn’t have much time to work on this project. The only changes I made was I removed the idea of making the users customise their postcards with some pens and stickers that comes in the packaging.

INTERVENTION- INTERPRETATION PROJECT:

Like the collection- interpretation project, I didn’t go through many changes with this project as well as I was strictly constrained by the short deadline and my poor time management. The only changes I would consider was that I produced different sketches and trying different colours on different layouts to test which one seems the best.

Did I manage my time well throughout the unit? 

I don’t think I managed my time very well not only on this project, but also for every single one of them. Aside from my laptop issues, I should try to do as much as I can using my iPad despite the lack of professional features however, I failed to keep my motivation up.

How did I respond to feedback? 

I took in the feedback I received from my tutors and course mates however, it is harder to implement them as I thought so because of my lack of proper time management. I didn’t had enough time to improve my current project as I have to move on to a new different one.

 Are there areas of my design process that need more practice? 

I would definitely need to practice my idea generation more and try to come up with more interesting ideas to work on. I wish I have more knowledge about 

 What have I learnt from this unit of study? 

 I get to try being more independent which is something I felt very different from last year where access for advice from other people are easier and much easier to take in. Although this is very unfortunate, there are pros associated with working alone as I learned that I need to be more pro-active and push myself to stay motivated which are the qualities that I need to stay on track in the professional field. This unit is a good lesson and practice on how I can be more independent and learn how stay motivated even though I am working alone.Skills wise, I don’t think I picked up anything as everything I have done and used to make in this project are the skills I learned from last year and previous years.

On reflection, are there any improvements that I would make to my final outcome? 

WHY PROJECT:

I would produce more completed design drafts properly to use and compare from each other to see which visuals communicates the best. I would try out different colour themes and do more secondary research which may lead me to facts/ideas I didn’t knew before which I can use to improve my design decisions.

INTERVENTION- INTERPRETATION PROJECT:

I would like to produce more final outcome rather than just 2 postcards and 1 poster. If I managed my time more wisely, I would have produced more sets of information designs like banners in the event itself and if my skills are way more than capable, I would like to produce a moving image outcome too.

COLLECTION- INTERPRETATION PROJECT:

I think that my research wasn’t broad enough and therefore I couldn’t write a lot of information into my outcome. In addition, I couldn’t see all the response from my participants in the survey as I had to pay to get that feature. I thought that I might find more interesting answers if I can open them all.

15 MINUTE PROJECT CITY:

Similar to the intervention- interpretation project, I’d prefer if I produced more different art murals designs and also made the Baybayin inspired design more obviously promoted because it appears my modification has diminished the natural and smooth form of the traditional type which I aimed to preserve from the beginning of the project but I think I failed to execute it as I tried to adapt it a little into modern design that matches with the forms of buildings in the city; straight but rough at the corners. I would also like to see how the outcome may have look liked with a different type. I think the title ‘Baybayin’ in the poster doesn’t seems to blend well with the rest of the elements as it looks soft unlike the other typeface in the poster. Lastly, I wished that I considered about the logo much earlier. I made the logo at the last minute and I purely based its design specific from the Baybayin theme of this event.

The Price Comparison Website Design Information Technology Essay

Introduction For someone who wants to save lots of money, and receive the simplest value for money, they'll meditate comparison shopping. Though it sounds deadening, but it can actually be challenging and rewarding. Analysing brands to seek out out the simplest value for the worth are going to be helpful to everyone. It’s not only for to urge the simplest products for his or her family, but also will help to save lots of money future . albeit they don’t exactly exercise frugal living altogether areas of your life, they will still practice comparison shopping to urge the foremost of cash when certain purchases are made.(1)

Shopping comparison now a days is quite comparing prices. Finding the most cost effective items it not the most purpose, detecting the simplest quality items for the smallest amount amount of cash is that the main challenge. That’s why comparison shopping is becoming an industry of its own.

Comparison shopping engines are suchlike a typical program , where we will search for a selected item of interest. then it comes as an inventory of price and retailer. It also shows customer review to see before buy anything.

To make a price comparison site isn't automatic basically it's a manual task. got to create automatic scripts to undertake and make automatic all that manual work. Just editing feeds manually is extremely time consuming albeit we just consider alittle range as merchants don't provide data to us during a way that the worth comparison site must work properly.

Read More: عروض تلفزيونات

Three steps to a price comparison site

1: Universal data feed importer with Data handling, auto categorisation, data ruleset manager, character manipulation, find and replace, delete and merge facilities. interface, administrator accounts/admins

2: Advertiser login and reporting services, universal product data services, universal site scraping services to gather feeds for merchants that cant/won’t provide them

3: Marketing tools, traffic managers to watch incoming outgoing traffic to form sure purchased traffic is equal or but the money/sales we are making from our own site for those purchased keywords.

In today’s era of low-carbohydrate diets and obsessive exercise routines,

people are more careful with food choices.(2)To cover the 21st century necessities nutriment restaurants accommodate a budget food quickly. Is that food healthy enough? Regrettably, these foods aren't always the healthiest choices. So how tourists or new people can find good foods but cheap price in their locality?

As the present economic problems within the UK is fluctuating and day by day its getting fractious , I’ve started questioning which restaurant food is that the cheapest and giving better deal to the attract their customers. i made a decision to try to to a touch comparison check, taking prices from some major restaurants. This project is aimed toward demonstrative price comparison website where people can compare foods, restaurants and value of their daily needs. they're going to even be ready to read reviews from customers who have already dined within the same restaurant they're trying to find . I even have tried to elucidate all the technologies of behind the scene of a Price Comparison website.

The Web may be a user-directed medium, where people adopt information-seeking strategies to save lots of time. they have a tendency to not seek information during a linear fashion. Instead, they believe the visual cues that give off the strongest signal that their answer is nearby. People direct their attention to those areas and ignore everything else.

Technical Background and Context There are many price comparison websites. it might be hard-fought to compete with big names like Kelko or pricerunner. Compare to those my website is bit different. i'm comparing restaurants. Imagine we visited someplace in Spain and haven't any idea about nearest restaurants and foods. i prefer to possess Indian foods but don’t know where I can find good Indian restaurants there. Then my website will step in. Just write down area name choose food type that sit. All local restaurants will show up. Even we'll ready to compare customer reviews and costs . it's many job to try to to . But primarily i'm getting to test some limited places and restaurants.

How to Build a Price Comparison Service To start making a price comparison service is sort of challenging. Some technological expertise involves in it. counting on the category of design we might wish to demonstrate, this sort of project could require prodigious amount of financing. After huge research I even have described below basic idea step by step the way to start a price comparison service.[3]

Step 1

The most important thing in starting price-comparison site is to order the indispensable bandwidth and server for hosting purpose. variety of companies are often found offering affordable bandwidth and server to set-up website. Before purchasing got to make certain server provider supports server side scripts like PHP, JAVA and also allows database program like SQL. Own laptop or desktop are often used as a server by installing program like Wamp server, Xamp and Apache.

Step 2

If i might wish to design my website during a highly specialized format i'd got to hire professional web developer. Some freelance programmers will show through basic internet search. If we might wish to choose freelance programmer it's essential to see whether or not they have performed this type of task before or not.

Step 3

In that case I even have decided to not getting to hire programmer, I still be ready to provide my service by using Content Management System (CMS). Through a CMS I can produce my content by employing a user friendly dashboard application. This content is then formatted into users viewable fascinating internet facing application. Several free content management system are often found through internet search.

Step 4

After successful running of website got to get the word out about the service i'm providing. the straightforward way is to seek out bloggers who wants to go to my site and write reviews. This word of mouth can create magic within the internet community.

Step 5

Next thing is to select up an advertising and affiliate site which will allow me to try to to display banner and text ads about my site. All affiliate plans isn't same and not even pay same rate.

Technology The most challenging a part of comparison website is the way to collect go back merchants. a method is to contact with them and collect data directly from them. Retailers will supply their own lists of products and costs . Then these are matched against original database. this will be done by mixture of human labour and knowledge extraction. [5]

Another common way is to gather data thorough a knowledge feed file. Merchants provide information electronically during a set format. Comparison website then imports data. Consolidation of knowledge feeds are often found from some third party businesses so we don't need to import data from many various merchants. Affiliate networks like Linkshare and Commission Junction also add up data feeds from various merchants and supply it comparison sites.

Third approach is to crawl the online for information and costs . during this method Comparison service scans retail sites and collects information instead of expecting them to provide data. this is often also referred to as ‘Scrapping’ information. Suitable for smaller independent sites to urge strait prices from the web site they have .

Crowd-sourching is another technique. Through this system price comparison engine can acquire data from almost any source without complexities of building crawler. Even don’t got to found out data feeds. Actually during this technique visitors import data. Price comparison site collaborated the info with related inputs and eventually add with their main database using collaborative filtering, AI or human labour. Wishabi which may be a Canadian based price comparison site is an example that applies this system .[6]

Anyways, some combination of those approaches are often used also . it's hard to mention which one is best , it only depends sort of business.

6 Approaches to run a a hit pr campaign

A world without the internet is meaningless. And while you don't forget that nearly 4. Four billion people have been categorised ‘energetic users’ as of april this year-; a awesome fifty eight% of the worldwide population-; the reality we're adapting each little component we  Digital Marketing Companies Brighton do to end up virtual isn't outstanding – but rather a need. As digital connectivity continues to conform, so do the desires and necessities of organizations who depend heavily on their on-line presence to construct a brand and reputation. That is what’s now called digital pr. At its center, digital pr professionals like the crew right here at reboot, generate natural back links to a business’s internet site from authoritative websites. We do this by means of working closely with reporters and content material influencers to demonstrate information in a subject through thorough studies-led campaigns. And the splendor of virtual pr is that it doesn’t always require bucket masses of cash as it’s all approximately owning an appropriate concoction of components to broaden a actually a success pr marketing campaign. So, to get you going inside the proper direction, i have put together 6 key methods to run a a success pr campaign. One length fits all

if you’re a virtual advertising company, and typically work with more than one industries, the phrase ‘one size fits all’  in reality isn’t applicable in the global of virtual pr. Your technique to every consumer have to be unique, notion thru, and eclectic. Think about the content material desires, and industry niche your consumer would like to look oneway links coming in from. No longer only will your content range, but your tone, shape and outreach process will rely on the very nature of your idea. For one customer, a quiz or sport may be the satisfactory possible approach to attracting natural links. Whereas, different customers can also require a much extra severe slant, which details records and figures. Energy of relationships

whilst generating an internet pr campaign, your outreach manner needs to be gifted and effective - not simplest to reach your focused target audience, however to keep and nurture new and antique relationships; therefore, extending your reach to demographics without having to strive too hard. Things to recall while outreaching a pr campaign:

 sending computerized and conventional emails is a no-move. Rather, demonstrate your information through personalising an e-mail, or achieving out thru innovative means on social media. Supplying specific content will in the long-time period advantage your outreach manner that's important for an excellent pr. Positioned your self in the shoes of the receiver (the journalist) and their reader. Even though our activity identify isn’t ‘journalist’, as digital entrepreneurs, we've got learnt the hints of the change as an alternative well. Consequently, any concept you push should be directed toward an outlet, sector and or journalist you've got a clear reference to or capacity to set up one with. Offer exclusives. After you form those bonds, you have the method to skip on applicable and distinct content, which they may put up on line and proportion throughout their social media channels; further elevating your clients’ emblem publicity. Latch onto trending subjects or news

  regardless of the news of the day, the media is arguably saturated with articles, publications, weblog posts, image memories and more. And despite the fact that this may occasionally deter you from growing content material, in digital pr phrases, it's miles the manufacturing of “new” content that teaches you how to be successful in pr. Newsjacking as it’s termed, is a easy manner to leverage breaking information content material or trending subjects on social media, consisting of country wide attention days or events and use it in your advantage. We lately did this throughout satisfaction month. Reboot observed a spike inside the quantity of companies using pleasure symbols and shades in their advertising and marketing campaigns and decided to see how many of them have been absolutely giving again to the lgbt+ community (a mere sixty four% as it seems). This were given picked up by quite a few retailers, along with a post on our research on b2bmarketing. Internet

 what you don’t need to do is produce a marketing campaign with the same ‘hook’ as every different article available. Your activity is to spin it on its head and discover an perspective reporters will now not have idea of, and locate engaging, and or wouldn’t have the time to do the research for themselves. Especially, the media need to look initiative. Robust visuals

including a visual resource in your statistics can elevate your pr from ‘appropriate’ to ‘awesome’. Don’t get me wrong, as a digital pr manager, i from time to time tell the group that visible pix aren’t necessary, however nine times out of 10, a extremely good stand-on my own photograph which info the content material and facts in an without difficulty digestible way, manner you have cracked the nut on getting featured. Not to mention, if a journalist sees the visible first, before analysing the content and likes it, your purpose has been met. Every so often, it takes only some seconds for a journalist to make up their mind, and an infographic may be the distinction between getting published and no longer getting published. A nicely-crafted pitch
