    The Power of Faith

    November 01, 2018
    the-power-of-faith-f8d0951de1fb

    #### If you want to suceed then you need to keep faith on yourself. I hear this sentence from my inner self as well as my family members and frinds, whenever I am depressed or feel low. Faith is the belief you keep on yourself to become your own role model. People all over the world use symbols or representative for worship, be it river, structure, book, idols or even charms. These are the center's of faith which benefit the believers by fulfilling their desires. Now the question is, how come some people prayers are answered whereas others it's not. This is where the faith come into picture. This is just like a physical science where faith gives you desired result by the power of your soul. In Hindi it's called Atma-Shakti or inner power. The science I am talking about is the Newton third law where every action has its equal reaction, just like if you throw a ball against a wall it will rebound with equal force. When you pray with your full power, your faith along with the force of soul strikes with the force to your believed object and rebound back as a desired results. Now we must understand that to fulfill that results not only your faith but your action should also go hand in hand. There is a saying in India that God help those people who wants to help themselves. If you have the faith, but do not have a inner strength to the work then you will not get the desired results. > A Quote : The reason birds can fly and we can't is simple because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings. J.M. Barrie

    Awakening of your Thoughts

    October 27, 2018
    awakening-of-your-thoughts-7c446bef05672

    In the day to day life your body acts as a powerhouse to do the work. Whenever we say about power we think of only one's body's strength. Whenever we think of powerful people we only think about wrestlers or body builders but we often ignore them who do not have great body but have a great mind who controls via their thoughts. When we think about any person like this, first name comes to mind is Mahatma Gandhi who do not have power in his body but had a will power which made him unstoppable. This is what the strength is all about , the power or strength is not what we see it, but it's all about the will power. We can do a lot of things with our body if our inner powee or will power supports us. This is the beauty of will power which helps your body's strength to do the work and if any one takes full control of its will power he can do wonders. That's what we call it awakening of thoughts or having your will power to do the wonders. In our next post we will see how we can improve our will power I.e what are the steps which helps us to awaken our thoughts.

    You need a Ice Cream

    You need a Ice Cream, which was written on the box in which I ate the ice cream. I usually do not eat ice cream, but today I was carving for one. One of the reason might be that I have not eaten ice cream from a long time or I wanted some thing cold in the hot weather. Whatever was the reason I went to Ice Cream Works to have an Ice Cream. The problem with these type of places is that you get so many options and it's hard to choose one of the many. At last I choose mango flavour as it was one of my favorite fruit. The icecream was awesome and I am sure I could not stop myself to go and have some more options. ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/wwq4w2oy6r.jpg) ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/v86hjx49n9.jpg) ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/it91meb4ry.jpg)

    In India Unocoin, one of the CryptoCurrency exchange company has started a Bitcoin ATM in Bangaluru in spite of the ban by the Government in India. The ATM machine will let people to deposit and withdraw INR from the ATM. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbecmeD1GCSHVZTv7rjZwK3PhQZQMHguxFV3zpa2P5o4a/image.png) PC : UNOCOIN.com The Tweet Link : https://twitter.com/Unocoin/status/1052449456417898498 But it did not go well with the Government and it was seized by police yesterday while the co-founder was arrested. The cybercrime has issued a statement saying that >The ATM kiosk installed by Unocoin in Bengaluru's Kempfort Mall has not taken any permission from the state government and is dealing in cryptocurrency outside the remit of the law. The Government of India has never said its' illegal but says it was not a legal tender. Let's see what will happen next.

    How I added AppVeyor, Codecov to .Net Core Open Source Project

    October 16, 2018
    how-i-added-appveyor-codecov-to-net-core-open-source-project

    AppVeyor is Continous Integration and Deployment solution where you can build, test and deploy your apps faster to any platform. One good advantage of using appveyor is that it is free for Open Source repositories. It's actually good when your repo is accepting pull request from people and then you can test if the pull request is merging or not. On the other hand, Codec helps you to do a health check on your code, i.e. it is a measurement on how many lines of your code are executed when automated tests are performing. Now 100% Code Coverage means that all your code is covered under tests, but that is very hard to achieve. I have to do a lot of commits to test the AppVeyor and Codecov and at last, it iwas successful and I can build and generate a code coverage report for my application. At first, I have started using NuGet package OpenCover to create code-coverage in my local environment and it was working after trial and error method. The Script I have used is as below ``` OpenCover.Console.exe -register:user -target:"C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe" -targetargs:"test\LetsDisc.Tests\bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.1\LetsDisc.Tests.dll -noshadow" -oldStyle -output:".\coverage.xml" -filter:"+[LetsDisc*]* -[Tests*]*" -coverbytest:"XUnit" ``` ---- But as a developer, we should know that what works in local has a 100% probability that it will not work in some other environments. That is what happened in my case when I tried to run the above script in AppVeyor some or the other issues are popping up. But at last, I made it work. So the final script is ``` version: 1.0.{build} image: Visual Studio 2017 configuration: Release skip_tags: true before_build: - nuget restore - nuget install OpenCover -OutputDirectory packages -Version 4.6.519 build_script: - msbuild /verbosity:quiet LetsDisc.sln test_script: - .\packages\OpenCover.4.6.519\tools\OpenCover.Console.exe -register:user -target:"C:/Program Files/dotnet/dotnet.exe" -targetargs:"test --logger:trx;LogFileName=results.trx /p:DebugType=full C:\projects\letsdisc\test\LetsDisc.Tests\LetsDisc.Tests.csproj" -output:"coverage.xml" -filter:"+[LetsDisc*]* -[Tests*]*" after_test: - ps: | $env:PATH = 'C:\msys64\usr\bin;' + $env:PATH Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://codecov.io/bash' -OutFile codecov.sh bash codecov.sh -f "coverage.xml" ``` ---- The above script means on every build I will be updating it with a version of 1.0.{buildNumber}, then use Visual Studio 2017 as an image to build the project, then use configuration as release mode and not debug so that it can be easily deployable. Before the build just restoring all the nuget package, as well as installing OpenCover specific version which works with AppVeyor. After that building the project using msbuild and then running my test script to run the tests and create the coverage report. After the test is scuccessful deploying the coverage.xml file to the Codecov website. It was fun as well as a learning experiment where I learned to use an Appveyor app as well adding the Coverage report to my project.
