Salutations.

It is now 8:28 AM EST for me.

Before I begin the advice, I’m going to try to give advice as to how to go about getting a portable charger for your smartphone. I’m not a tech savvy person like the ones that you may see on www.youtube.com from those video clips. However, I do own and regularly use a phone charger for my Iphone 12 mini. I was thinking of upgrrading that phone to possibly a bigger phone, or the next mini phone, but I did not make the time to do it yet, and the phone still works.

As always, you are not obligated to use this purchase advice, and I am not being sponsored to do it, I’m not being paid to give you these recommendations. It’s just recommendations that I think may be useful to you.

So, here’s the sales pitch, and I just imagined it: I speculate that there’s a difference between smart phones used for personal use, and smart phones used for the job. Let’s say you don’t have a phone charger. Is it possible that you may use your smart phone when you go on vacation, or for situations where you would need to get your phone charged? If you have used your smart phone for several years or more, then you probably established a routine use that is important to you. Is it reasonably possible that you may be in a situation where your current phone charge may not be enough, that a phone charger may be required so that you may continue using your smart phone? Recently, I was in a situation where I forgot to bring my portable phone charger, and I used the phone settings to reduce charge consumption so that I would have enough phone charge to last the rest of the day, and it worked. But if you do that, you also have to reduce how much you use your smart phone, in order for the phone charge to last. You can also use a phone charger to practice with, in case you are in a situation where you would need your phone to be charged, and I believe that a portable phone charger allows you to use your smart phone more, without worrying about the charge in your phone getting too low. For example, towards the end of the day, you may need your phone to have enough charge so that you can request an Uber or a Lyft.

So, if you think this phone charger advice recommendation is useful, let’s see if I can give you advice as to how to go about getting one. What I can do is recommend the set-up that I am using now, since I now have some experience with using a phone charger. In my opinion, here are the 3 things based on my experience to have a phone charger: 1)phone charger power bank, 2)a Belkin 3-in-1 charging cable, and 3)wall charger. This is obviously not a professional opinion, this is just the set-up I am using.

All 3 use a USB C. You can buy something else, as long as all 3 are USB C compatible, based on my Iphone 12 mini smart phone experience. For the power bank, I recommend this, purchased from Amazon.com:

Anker PowerCore 13000 Portable Charger – Compact 13000mAh 2-Port Ultra Portable Phone Charger Power Bank with PowerIQ and VoltageBoost Technology for iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy (Black)

—

It’s still available from Amazon.com, and it’s about $40 with Prime shipping available. If you look at the illustration, it has 2 USB C ports.

—

This is the Belkin cable that I recommend:

Belkin 3-in-1 Universal USB-A Cable – USB-C Cable, Lightning Cable, Micro-USB Charging Cable – Charging Cord Boost Charge Charger Designed for Apple iPhones & iPads, Galaxy, Tablet, Smartphone – Black

—

That is available from Amazon.com for about $23 dollars with Prime shipping available. If you look at one of the illustrations, it shows you what it means by ‘3-in-1’: 1 connector is used for your smart phone(check if your phone can use that connector), and one of the 2 connectors you use to charge your power bank, the one with the triangle head. It shows you in the illustration. That ‘triangle head’ you connect to the Anker power bank, where it says ‘Input’. And here is the wall charger recommendation:

USB C Charger,155W USB C Charging Station Laptop Charger 6-Port Portable USB C Wall Fast Charger USB C Power Adapter for MacBook Pro/Air,iPad Pro,iPhone 14/13/Mini/Pro/13Pro Max/12 Samsung Galaxy Note

—

The one I originally purchased from Amazon.com wasn’t available, so I searched for phrase ‘usb c cord wall charger’ from Amazon.com, scrolled down, and selected that. It’s only about $46 dollars from Amazon.com with Prime shipping available. It has 3 USB C ports, and those are the ports that you may use to simultaneously charge both you power bank and your smart phone.

Here is a quote I got from searching www.google.com using phrase ‘lightning cable port look like’. I chose link www.lifewire.com:

What Is a Lightning Connector?
The Lightning connector was introduced in 2012 with the arrival of the iPhone 5 and, shortly thereafter, the iPad 4. It remains the standard way to both charge them and connect them to other devices such as a laptop, although some devices, such as the 2018 iPad Pro, might use USB-C instead of Lightning as its standard connector.

The cable itself is small with a thin Lightning adapter on one side and a standard USB-A adapter on the other. The Lightning connector is 80 percent smaller than the 30-pin connector it replaced and is fully reversible, which means it doesn’t matter which way the connector is facing when you plug it into the Lightning port.

—

Google.com also offers images as to what a lightning port looks like. So, if you want to use this advice more compatibly, check to see if your smart phone has a lightning port for a lightning connector to be connected to it. If your smart phone doesn’t have a lightning port, then don’t buy these items. It won’t be compatible for your smart phone. If you still want a phone charger, search in www.google.com to see how your smart phone can get a charger, any computer repair store personnel can help you find exactly what you are looking for. Just search in www.google.com for phrase ‘computer repair’ and your city and state, and google.com should be able to give you a list of local stores that can help you find a power bank for your smart phone. Keep in mind that I am just trying to help you get a power bank based on my experience with my Iphone 12 mini. Talk to a computer specialist, and that person can help you specifically get a power bank for your specific smart phone. The one I used to buy my computer laptop, in a manner of speaking, they were ‘warm and friendly’ people, willing to help anyone with a compute related problem. You don’t even have to make an appointment! You can just walk in, and someone will help you. I’m assuming that all computer repair stores use that similar demeanor. So, using google.com(or some other search engine), find a computer store, talk to them over the phone, make time to visit there store, talk to their ‘warm and friendly’ personnel, and if you choose to, they’ll ‘set you up’. It is my belief that they are very friendly.

[3/4/2023: It is now 3:45 PM EST for me. I forgot to mention that, if you are going to choose to use the set-up I recommended or something similar, then you’re going to need 2 Belkin 3-in-1’s when you are charging both your smart phone and your power bank simultaneously/at the same time, 1 Belkin connected to your wall charger and smart phone using the Lightning Connector, and the other Belkin connected to the wall charger and the power bank using the connector with the triangle looking head. I bought 2 Belkin connectors and am using that set-up. I just forgot to mention it. 3/4/2023]

It is now 9:29 AM EST for me. I am going to look for that music video and trailer again. So, soon after I prepare them, I’ll type my recommendations in this blog later today. If you are still there, I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 9:44 AM EST for me.

Of course, if you are a kid and you don’t want to go to the computer store alone, then ask your parents if they can bring you there. I don’t have kids of my own and I live as a single man, so I don’t have the experience to say such things ‘off the top of my head’. Just search in www.google.com for phrase ‘computer technician’ and add your city and state, choose a store that is close by, call them, and if you like them, ask your parents or guardians if they can take you there so that you can ask them some questions about how to get a phone charger, and if you have questions about your computer, ask that too. Based on my experience(and common sense really), their personnel should be very conducive to answer your smart phone and computer related questions. So, if you are there later today, I’ll see you then.

It is now 10:57 AM EST for me. As I was looking for a movie/tv show trailer around 10:30 AM EST, I thought of something that I changed into an acceptable idea to be typed into this blog. I’m using a quote from sci-fi movie ‘Star Trek V: The Final Frontier(1989)’ to make this idea. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 32 minutes and 4 seconds into the movie. Here is the quote:

Uhura(Nichelle Nichols): ‘Captain, we’re receiving the hostage information you requested.’

Kirk(William Shatner): ‘Put it on the screen.’

Computer: ‘This is an authorized transmission from Starfleet Galactic Memory Bank.’

Kirk: ‘Not General Korrd.’

Spock(Leonard Nimoy): ‘The same. He’s apparently fallen out of favor with the Klingon High Command.’

Kirk: ‘General Korrd’s military strategies were required learning when I was a cadet at the Academy. When they put me out to pasture, I hope I fare better than Korrd.’

—

The part that I am using from that quote is partly from what Kirk said. The rest is there for context, so that you would better understand it:

Kirk: ”General Korrd’s military strategies were required learning when I was a cadet at the Academy.’

—

That’s the part I am using, that General Korrd’s military strategies were required learning when he was a cadet at the Academy. And here is my idea, that I invented around let’s say 10:32 AM EST: If you are studying someone, if you are learning something from someone, let’s say something that person invented, then like that ‘Star Trek’ quote, for many situations, you are learning from them without needing their direct participation. So, in a reasonable context, for many situations, one may consider that it may also be useful to have that person that you are learning from, to have that person’s direct participation available to your group, for example, let’s say with your job’s supervision. For example, if General Korrd agrees, and if Starfleet Academy agrees, General Korrd’s direct obvious participation, to teach the Starfleet cadets about his military strategies, would be very useful to the cadets and to Starfleet, in a learning context, of course.

Now, let’s say that you are an adult experiencing mild to moderate forms in instigations from certain instigators from where you work. Have you thought/imagined a situation that someone was participating, let’s say with a company, but the results of that participation were so embittering, that you chose to discontinue/no longer contemplationally think about such thing? Let’s stipulate that whatever those results were that you imagined, that’s it’s clearly embittering/discouraging. I’m not contesting that. I am not arguing with that. What I am saying, that isn’t it possible that a person who is being studied, or something about that person is being studied, like an invention, that that person could benefit the company with his/her direct participation? If you agree with that premise, than did the experienced instigations cause you to dismiss such contemplation considerations by encouraging you to think of an embittering/discouraging result to such a situation? Is it possible that certain experienced instigations contemplationally discouraged you from using such a situtation? In my opinion, if you thought of such a thing, then certain instigations, so to speak, just talked you out of allowing General Korrd to talk to the cadets at the Academy, a direct participation that surely would have benefitted Starfleet and it’s cadets. I recommend that you keep that context of the idea, and just change the participation expectations.

I have no name for that idea. Just brainstorming. It is now 11:29 AM EST for me. I’ll continue preparing that trailer and look for that music video. I’ll see you then.

It is now 1:01 PM EST for me.

Normally, this would be the time that I would stop typing. I don’t know why it took me so long to do this. I found the music video and movie trailer easily enough. It wasn’t a ‘cake walk’, so to speak, but there were days for me that it was much more difficult for me to do so. Anyway, the music video that I watched for the 1st time that I recommend for this advice is called ‘We Go Down Together’ by Dove Cameron and Khalid. I’ll start this with a quote from a link found in www.google.com using the search words ‘we go down together dove cameron music video reviews’. The link is from https://medium.com:

Review: Dove Cameron and Khalid Create a Masterpiece with ‘We Go Down Together’
Singers Dove Cameron and Khalid came together to release a stunning love ballad right in time for Valentine’s Day.

They were each holding onto a relationship that they equally wanted and even felt dependent on. However, only time would tell if this desire for love would be enough to sustain something that appeared solid yet simultaneously so fragile, especially if they ultimately did go down together.

The entire song was breathtaking and meticulously executed to perfection. The highs and lows of a relationship flowed through every intricate detail of “We Go Down Together”, from the shift in the intensity of the instrumentation between the choruses and verses to the opposing tones of Cameron and Khalid’s vocals throughout most of the track to the lyrics depicting the changes in a relationship.

—

And here is a quote from the lyrics to song ‘We Go Down Together’:

If you go down
Then we go down together
If you hold on
I might just stay forever
If you get hurt
I’ll try to make it better
If you go down
Then we go down together

When I was watching it for the 1st time earlier today, in the beginning, I was thinking of what to say/type in when explaining the movie trailer. Near the end as I was watching it, I was just going to type that in, it was honest, but that also reminded me of when I started using music videos. In the beginning, as I was watching a music video for the 1st time, I would be thinking of all sorts of things. So, thinking that focus was a priority, I would simply just ‘start over’ and try to watch the music video, but without all of that other thinking. After doing this for a certain amount of years, I’d like to believe that I no longer have that problem, need to start over, but for this music video, I think I was doing it again, but this time it was for something that I was going to do. Now that I have more experience and objectivity, I can admit to myself that all I have to do yet again is ‘start over’ with the intent to have a more clear mind when watching it, and that’s what I did. ‘It’s only about 3 minutes.’ I thought to myself, and I saw it again.

The 2nd time around, I noticed that Dove Cameron was openly expressing herself, but that wasn’t the highlight. It is my belief at the time that women in music videos openly express themselves regularly. It was Khalid openly expressing himself, emotionally/personally, that was what I found interesting about the music video. I didn’t read the review, not until after I watched the music video.

—

I found the music video from publisher ‘MUSIC CHARTS’, category ‘VIDEOS’, category ‘Top 20 Songs: March 2023 (03/04/2023) I Best Billboard Music Chart Hits’, which was published 4 days ago. A video clip for song ‘We Go Down Together’, ranked #38, starts 12 seconds into that video collection.

—

The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today is called ‘Full Time Trailer #1 (2023)’. I found it in www.youtube.com, publisher ‘Rotten Tomatoes Indie’, category ‘PLAYLISTS’, category ‘Sort by Genre’, category ‘Indie Dramas’. Movie trailer ‘Full Time Trailer #1 (2023)’ is ranked #32 in that list.

1 minute and 23 seconds into the movie trailer, it was called ‘A GRIPPING THRILLER’ by ‘Telerama’. Without looking at a review, I tried to give it that context. That is what I find useful about the movie trailer. To explain, here is a quote from one of the comments:

lol “gripping thriller” — omg is she gonna be late for work????

—

It’s a movie! In other words, if you can’t make relaxed, non-serious comments for a movie, then when can you?

But seriously, since I am single, and I don’t have kids, I clearly have difficulty relating to what seems to be a single mom’s work day. I still tried to relate. For example, finding someone to take care of the kids while you’re at work, literally just being a single mom, and then I also thought about how people would be considerate to each other, not bringing up certain issues to each other because of how one’s current use of school of thought would react to those issues. And then there’s communication allowability. For example, men allowing women to use certain forms of communication within their ability to allow. I just watched the trailer for the 1st time earlier today, and I’m still trying to build an acceptable response to calling that presented context a ‘gripping thriller’. I’m not calling that context a liar, but I am also a man that doesn’t have kids of his own. I guess I’ll just keep that topic to myself, and refrain from addressing it in open conversation. Here’s another quote from the ‘Comments’ section, to help clear my conscience:

‘ while it looks interesting, what makes it a gripping thriller? ‘

It is now 1:50 PM EST for me.

Here’s the study plan. 1st, I’ll explain idea ‘Context of experience’. Then I’ll explain idea ‘Strength’, which also contains 2 ideas, 1)’Serious’ and 2)’Embarrass’. and then I’ll explain idea ‘Not effective’, and all of these explanations have to happen today, because the intent of all of these explanations today is to activate next week’s idea. If you choose to use these ideas, then next week’s ideas, in my opinion, it’s use, for many expectations, is the best idea that I have invented as of now. Of course, I can still change my mind and do something else, and I don’t think I can explain all of these ideas today, so what could happen is that I’ll have to continue this explanation next week. If I do that, I will still close this list, and just start a new list next Saturday, but that new list will be a continuation of this list, which is more likely to occur than me actually finishing all of those explanations today. So, here it is:

—

Context of experience:

Here’s an example for idea ‘Context of experience’: I imagine examining a certain chosen company, and I look at what they use, what concepts they use, as common material, like office stationary. I notice that certain concepts can be useful for this blog, but when they use such concepts, it’s used as if it’s common office stationary to them. However, for my use, I imagine that other people will have other uses for it, uses that don’t resemble ‘common stationary’ uses.

Notice that I retrieved such concepts from people who use them in a ‘common office stationary’ context. How you use it, for example, may resemble a different ‘context of experience’ then how they use it. Idea ‘Context of experience’ may actually help you find and maintain another job that may present a different context of experience that what you are accustomed to.

Here’s a ‘context of experience’ that I imagined I think a month or so ago. A man starts his new job, and during a conversation with his boss, explains the seriousness of his expectations to his boss. His boss looks at him in a surprised and somewhat mildly shocked way, saying to him that he should talk about such things in a normal participation context. Later, he talks to one of the employees about what he said to his boss, hoping to get an explanation. The employee said to him that such things are extreme, even though it is his job to do such things, and it shouldn’t be talked about in a casual context.

—

So, in that story, even though it was the man’s job to do such things, he should not have talked about it in a casual context to his boss, since the employees see such a ‘context of experience’ as extreme. Of course, he just started his job, and he’s learning, among other things, what the ‘context of experience’ is for that job. I’m going to use idea ‘Context of experience’ later to differentiate.

—

I was laughing to myself at 2:10 PM EST. I’m going to close this list now. I’m going to go with Plan B and just continue explaining this idea next Saturday, unless I change my mind again. The ‘good news’ is that I should be more prepared to explain idea ‘Strength’ next Saturday. It would have been better if I finished it today, but it’s already 2:12PM EST for me, and I want to close lists in general before 2:00 PM, preferably around 1:00 PM EST. It’s a time allowance that I chose to commit to. I don’t know why it took so long for me to type this in. So, if you are there next Saturday, I’ll see you then.
