Firstly, this isn't a Valentine cookie, this is a virtual representation that is basically some form of POST API web service once I've handed over my credit card details.
I would be better off sending an e-mail containing with an attached drawing of a valentine cookie that I drawn in paint, thus saving me a dollar. (I couldn't be arsed to do this either).
Secondly, if I delivered some form of heavy food packed with carbohydrates, sweeteners and colourings as a present... Can you even imagine the position you've put yourself into? Challenging her weight and not being supportive by buying her sweets though you may think it's probably best if she just has a virtual one that a fatty-fatty one!
Thirdly, It's almost accepting the fact that I'm giving in to cheap marketing and advertisement that Facebook is trying to promote. At the time this was written, Facebook shares continue to be volatile, mainly due to intangible measurements and uncertainty that investments will get little returns. Delivering $1 valentine presents may work for the teen sucker who hasn't yet worked out the different between 'showing affection and consideration' and 'being a little weird and stalker-ish'.
Fourthly, sending something cheap as a $1 gift is almost counter intuitive as it's saying you're more a cheap-skate rather than someone who saves that little more for that bigger gift.
Fifthly and finally, we don't live in a quasi technological dimension or virtual representation (yet). It would be far cheaper to do the traditional thing... Pull up next door neighbor's flowers, take an elastic band to group them together, rinse the mud off the dying roots and approach your sweetheart in an awkward, but commanding fashion in the hope she returns the favor (by not calling the police of vandalism to property).

The WeMos D1 is a ESP8266 WiFi based board is an extension to the current out-of-the-box library that comes with the Arduino installation. Because of this, you need to import in the libraries as well as acknowledging the specific board. This process is highly confusion with a number of different individuals talking about a number of different ways to integrate.

For what I see, there's not too many supportive documentations out there that will demonstrate how provision AD group membership with the ICF connector using OpenIDM. The use of the special ldapGroups attribute is not explained anywhere in the Integrators guides to to the date of this blog. This quick blog identifies the tasks required to provision AD group membership from OpenIDM to AD using the LDAP ICF connector. However this doesn't really explain what ldapGroups actually does and there's no real worked example of how to go from an Assignment to ldapGroups to an assigned group in AD. I wrote up a wiki article for my own reference: AD group memberships automatically to users This is just my view, others may disagree, but I think the implementation experience could be improved with some more documentation and a more detailed example here.
