🌐 Recently we had a privilege to host representatives of the Realm of Historia project in Web3 Foundation. The intersection of technology and history has given rise to an innovative plan for Carahunge’s improvement – a prehistoric megalithic wonder. 🚀 The international Realm of Historia project proudly introduced to us a fresh initiative. They are issuing NFTs showcasing the majestic Carahunge, and the proceeds from these digital treasures will fund the development and enhancement of its historical and cultural infrastructure. 🎨 Local artists are pouring their creativity into crafting these NFTs, which will soon be available across various platforms. It's not just about digital art; it's a collective effort to safeguard Armenian culture. The funds generated will play a crucial role in the realization of this noble mission – preserving the rich tapestry of Armenian heritage. #web3community #web3innovation #nfts #digitalart #web3development

March Madness As March comes in like a lion and we get ready for the madness that happens at this time of the year, I am reminded that the built environment is a lot like March Madness. In addition to each being dynamic, transformative, and full of surprises, they share several similarities. Both encounter diverse elements and complexities. In March Madness, you have a multitude of teams with varying skills, strengths, and approaches to the game. Similarly, the built environment embodies a range of different building types, each with its own unique characteristics, functions, and approaches to how they are operated and managed. March Madness is known for teams competing against each other to advance in the tournament and hopefully, win the coveted championship. Likewise, in the built environment, there is competition among facility management, engineers, IT, solution providers, and developers to create innovative and functional spaces that stand out and meet the needs and requirements of a variety of businesses. In March Madness, the tournament bracket is carefully planned, and teams are seeded based on their performance and rankings. Similarly, those involved in managing and operating buildings need to carefully plan and design their operating environments, considering several factors such as facility use, productivity, compliance, infrastructure, security, sustainability, desired outcomes, and more. In March Madness, teams must be flexible, often needing to adapt their gameplay and strategies based on live game situations. Likewise, the built environment must accommodate the unpredictable---adapting in real-time to dynamic events such as occupancy levels, environmental conditions, equipment functionality and unexpected occurrences. March Madness garners widespread attention and support from a community of fans and alumni rooting for their favorite teams. Similarly, the built environment relies on a community and extended ecosystem to ensure buildings operate efficiently and effectively and to key performance levels. While the built environment and March Madness may seem unrelated, they share several of the same characteristics that are essential to win. They both need to operate harmoniously, unite disparate things together, utilize data to get a leg up, make people and things interoperate with each other---all to deliver winning outcomes. #niagaraframework #niagara #smartbuildings #intelligentbuildings #buildingintegration #buildingautomation #builtenvironment

Read Light Novel! Website : https://lnkd.in/eVW8FQnv I Have 10 Training Avatars - Lin Xuan transmigrated into a world where demon beasts rampaged. He became one of the lowest ranking wasteland reclaimers in the Germinal Organization to explore the mystic realms. The Zero Realm mystic realm was the Giant Rock Cave. The First Realm mystic realm was the Demon Ant Nest. The Second Realm mystic realm was the Tree King Sea. [Congratulations on seizing a Gold Swallowing Lizard as one of your avatars for gaining more experience. Do you want it to begin its training?] [Your current location is first floor of the Giant Rock Cave. (1 coin per minute. 5 exp points per minute)] [Gold Swallowing Lizard has been training for 4 hours. Do you wish to collect its experience?] Lin Xuan’s eyes were wide open. He was well-versed in how this worked. This was similar to the AFK games that he played in his previous world. As such, he began his comfortable journey of becoming the strongest. Up until one point, the Germinal Organization discovered that he was abnormal and decided to deal with him. It only then did Lin Xuan realize that even Seventh Realm fighters and the managers of the organization were inferior to him. #LightNovel #LN #Novel #JapaneseNovel #LightNovelCommunity #NovelReading #LightNovelFan #LNAddict #NovelAdaptation #OtakuReads #JapaneseFiction #LightNovelLovers #NovelRecommendations #FantasyNovel #LightNovelWorld #LightNovelObsession #NovelDiscussion #LightNovelSeries #ReadLightNovels #LightNovelIllustrations

🎮🏆 Thrilled to announce a milestone moment in my journey! 🏆🎮 💀 I was gatekeeping this for quite sometime but now finally had the courage to post! 🚀 I had the incredible opportunity to co-develop a 2D indie game in a 48hr Game Jam using Unity. The adrenaline rush, the camaraderie, and the sheer joy of creation were beyond compare! Together with an amazing team, we poured our hearts and souls into crafting an experience we hoped would resonate with players. 🌟 I'm ecstatic to share that our hard work paid off as our game clinched the award for the "Best Showcase" at the event! It's truly humbling to see our passion project recognized among so many talented developers and innovative creations. 👨💻 As a junior developer, this journey has been nothing short of transformative. It's not just about the accolades, but about the lessons learned, the skills honed, and the friendships forged along the way. Every line of code, every pixel polished, was a step towards growth and mastery in the world of game development. 🌈 This win serves as a testament to the power of collaboration, creativity, and perseverance. I couldn't be more grateful for the support of my teammates, mentors, and the vibrant game dev community that continues to inspire me every day. 🔍 I'm excited to see where this journey takes me next, as I continue to push boundaries, learn, and innovate in the ever-evolving landscape of game development. 🎮 Let's keep creating, dreaming, and gaming together! 🚀💡 Here is the link as i uploaded it on itch.io https://lnkd.in/d_PZJyKd #GameDev #Unity #IndieGame #AwardWinning #GameJam #JuniorDeveloper #Teamwork #PassionProject
