![]() Below, I want to provide a glimpse into these features, which not only made me stay with VSCode, but also improved my workflow and my productivity. And I was on the brink of starting the search for another tool all over again right when I heard of “native Notebooks” and started waiting. Several features just did not work in notebooks as you would expect from the way Python scripting worked in VSCode. However, the experience with VSCode didn’t feel complete either. I was rather on a quest for a better option to work with Jupyter Notebooks, which culminated in VSCode. ipynb files via command line as opposed to just double clicking, variable exploration only with code, and code completion either took forever to appear or did not work at all.Īs opposed to Alan, I didn’t stumble upon VSCode by accident. And everything felt just a bit too much effort: opening. Moving on, I couldn’t find these features in JupyterLab either. When I moved from R to Python starting out with the browser interface, I was primed by RStudio and missed features and usability that I considered mandatory for data analytics. Like Alan Jones explained his experience of switching to VSCode as notebook editor, I perceived a similarly low entrance barrier for editing Jupyter Notebooks, while editing notebooks always didn’t feel quite right when using the browser interface or JupyterLab. And the ones that are, feel more intuitive in the latest VSCode version. The Notebooks API brings a variety of new and improved features to VSCode, with some of them being already available in the browser interface and JupyterLab, but some not. ![]() I have been impatiently waiting for these changes that I missed in the Jupyter browser interface and JupyterLab, while they had been announced in multiple vlogs from Microsoft and also been reviewed in their unstable state by Richard So on this towardsdatascience. Working with (Jupyter) Notebooks - Photo by Alejandro Escamilla on UnsplashĪfter more than half a year of waiting for what was then called “native Notebooks”, the now re-branded Notebooks API has finally made it to the standard VSCode version.

![]() ![]() But they’re part of a perception around the league that the Patriots win by skirting the rules. Unlike Spygate and Deflategate, these cheating accusations have not resulted in NFL discipline. The Steelers now become at least the fifth team making accusations, with the team saying that its coach-to-coach communications repeatedly faced interference from the Patriots’ radio broadcast, and that the interference would stop when a league official came to the sideline to deal with it, only to start up again when the league official walked away. Karlos Dansby said in an appearance on PFT Live this year that he suspected the Patriots of wrongdoing in 2008, when Dansby’s Cardinals visited New England and had trouble with their coach-to-helmet communications system.ĥ. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis was quoted by Zimmerman as responding to Martz’s accusation by saying the same thing that happened to the Lions had happened to the Bengals as well: “Yeah, I know,” Lewis said. According to that report, it happened to the Lions twice, both times in the middle of drives when the Lions were picking up steam.ģ. As reported by Paul Zimmerman of Sports Illustrated, Martz had Detroit’s offense off to a good start until he lost the ability to call plays because the communications system went out. In 2006, then-Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz suspected the Patriots of preventing him from communicating with his quarterback. After the Jaguars lost to the Patriots in the playoffs following the 2005 season, then-Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio said the headsets “ mysteriously malfunctioned.”Ģ. With the Steelers suggesting that something was afoul on Thursday night in New England, there are now at least five teams that have accused the Patriots of tampering with communications:ġ. The term “Headsetgate” has just been coined and may not last, but the allegations that the Patriots tamper with visiting teams’ communications at Gillette Stadium are nothing new. ![]() ![]() The car had the luxury of being able to modulate boost, but with a fuel tank allowance of only 150 litres (naturally aspirated cars were unlimited) it meant that the team would have to go into extreme fuel conservation to get to the end of a race.Īlthough there was speculation that Honda would introduce their V10 engine during 1988, Ron Dennis confirmed during qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza that racing the V10 was never part of the plan for 1988. Over a race distance, the MP4/4 would suffer a significant power deficit compared to its naturally aspirated rivals. Steve Nichols went ahead with the design of the car on a pure turbo engine basis, which put the team at a potential disadvantage to their rivals.ġ988 was a transition year prior to a naturally aspirated-only formula in 1989 and the regulations were framed to reward those teams that had already made the switch. 1988 was due to be the last year for the turbo engines before they were banned, so most teams were making a concerted effort to establish themselves with naturally aspirated cars. Team boss Ron Dennis had previously tried to secure Honda engines for his Formula 2 team and welcomed the Japanese company after four successful years with the TAG engines. With the engines coming at the expense of Williams (who had won the previous two Constructors' Championships from McLaren), a strong 1988 was possible. The car was good enough to finish second in the Constructors’ Championship, secure the services of Ayrton Senna and persuade Honda to switch its engine supply deal from Williams to McLaren for the following season.įor 1988 McLaren had secured the use of the 1.5L V6 Honda turbo engines which since late in the 1985 season had been the best engine in Formula One. The Steve Nichols designed McLaren MP4/3- TAG won three races with Prost finishing fourth in the drivers' championship, Prost's win in Portugal was cause for celebration as it was the Frenchman's 28th career win, taking him past the previous record of 27 wins by triple World Champion Jackie Stewart. ![]() In 1987 it was becoming increasingly difficult to compete with major manufacturer-backed teams using, effectively, a privateer engine financed in-house by TAG and built by Porsche. The Honda-powered MP4/4 is one of the most dominant Formula One cars ever built, winning all but one race and claiming all but one pole position in the 1988 season. Honda had made the Constructors' Championship-winning engines of 19, and for 1988 they switched partners from Williams to McLaren, who had struggled with their dated TAG- Porsche engines. Gordon Murray, as Technical Director, had the role of liaising between the drawing office and production. The design of the car was led by American engineer Steve Nichols, the full responsibility for the design of the chassis having been conferred on him by Ron Dennis. Powered by Honda's RA168E 1.5-litre V6- turbo engine and driven by teammates Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna, the car competed during the 1988 Formula One season. The McLaren MP4/4, also known as the McLaren-Honda MP4/4, is one of the most successful Formula One car designs of all time.

When we heard back, we found out that it would be astronomically expensive to access functionality that had always been included in ClickTime. In the most revealing example, we realized we were completely missing the ability to edit jobs and amend timesheets, so we contacted our payroll vendor. We quickly realized that the all-in-one payroll software didn’t address some of our most basic requirements that were built into ClickTime. The expense approval process made reimbursements quick and simple. Paul had made astrological forecasts on radio for decades, so he and George took their show on the road as The Merlin Project, making political forecasts on tv & radio for over 25 years. Time entry in ClickTime is intuitive and easy, and our employees really liked ClickTime’s expense entry interface. In the late 80s I went off to make babies and Paul was approached by government physicist George Hart to collaborate on a programmed forecasting tool they called TimeTraks. ![]() Our employees genuinely preferred ClickTime. Sadly, our new payroll software didn’t have many of these reporting options, let alone the ability to dynamically generate custom reports! We could run reports by job, person, or task to fit our needs-and we were always free to create our own. The bundled payroll software proved to be inconvenient and not as simple as we thought.ĬlickTime’s robust reporting options had always been impressive. We figured it’d be easy to change to the all-in-one solution. “We were happily using ClickTime to track our time and expenses for 3 years, but we discovered that our payroll software also provided time and expense tracking services. Jeanette Hall, Accounting Manager at Merlin RAMCo recently wrote to us about her company’s transition to payroll bundled software - and their subsequent return to ClickTime Web Timesheet: They found their best and most cost-effective solution in ClickTime. Merlin RAMCo needed a tightly integrated time and expense tracking solution with strong reporting and export options. ![]() Alternatively, the parameter list may be split into "Required parameters" list, followed by "Optional parameters" list, see 'flares'. Optional parameter (optional): Data type default = VALUE Optional parameters have "(optional)" text after them.The "data type" field should always be followed by semicolon. Another required parameter: Positive decimal The "default" text can be omitted if the parameter has no default.The data type should be easy to understand for a human, not technically accurate.

![]() Similar technology has potential applications in NASA's future human missions to space habitats. Advanced algorithms isolate the tiny signals from a person's moving chest by filtering out other signals, such as those from moving trees and animals. JPL's expertise in data processing helped with this challenge. Earthquakes and tornadoes produce twisted and shattered wreckage, such that any radar signals bouncing back from these piles are tangled and hard to decipher. In disaster scenarios, the use of radar signals can be particularly complex. "Detecting small motions from the victim's heartbeat and breathing from a distance uses the same kind of signal processing as detecting the small changes in motion of spacecraft like Cassini as it orbits Saturn," said James Lux, task manager for FINDER at JPL. For example, the Deep Space Network monitors the location of the Cassini mission's orbit around Saturn to learn about the ringed planet's internal structure. This technique is used for science research, too. A light wave is sent to a spacecraft, and the time it takes for the signal to get back reveals how far away the spacecraft is. NASA's Deep Space Network regularly uses similar radar technology to locate spacecraft. The technology works by beaming microwave radar signals into the piles of debris and analyzing the patterns of signals that bounce back. "The technology has the potential to quickly identify the presence of living victims, allowing rescue workers to more precisely deploy their limited resources." "The ultimate goal of FINDER is to help emergency responders efficiently rescue victims of disasters," said John Price, program manager for the First Responders Group in Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate in Washington. FINDER also will be tested further by the Federal Emergency Management Agency this year and next. Media participated in demonstrations that featured the device locating volunteers hiding under heaps of debris. The technology was demonstrated to the media Wednesday at the DHS's Virginia Task Force 1 Training Facility in Lorton, Va. "This is a prime example of intergovernmental collaboration and expertise that has a direct benefit to the American taxpayer." "FINDER is bringing NASA technology that explores other planets to the effort to save lives on ours," said Mason Peck, chief technologist for NASA, and principal advisor on technology policy and programs. The prototype technology, called Finding Individuals for Disaster and Emergency Response (FINDER) can locate individuals buried as deep as 30 feet (about 9 meters) in crushed materials, hidden behind 20 feet (about 6 meters) of solid concrete, and from a distance of 100 feet (about 30 meters) in open spaces.ĭeveloped in conjunction with Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate, FINDER is based on remote-sensing radar technology developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., to monitor the location of spacecraft JPL manages for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Department of Homeland Security are collaborating on a first-of-its-kind portable radar device to detect the heartbeats and breathing patterns of victims trapped in large piles of rubble resulting from a disaster. For $200-$300 you can cover a lot of ground early in the specification and design phase that will make life much easier in the implementation phase. If you are completely new to PIC's I recommed hiring one of the many Microchip consultants on these boards (many are not officially recognized by Microchip but are very capable). Another factor is the response timing to user commands at the terminal. This will affect the choice of communication protocol. What's not clear is how far the PC is located from yoru terminal. The main factors in deciding are functionality, manufacturing, and development costs. The ME terminal from AE2 or applied energistics 2 minecraft mod tutorial. Digi-Key offers millions of products from thousands of manufacturers, many in-stock quantities available to ship same day. As far as which PIC there are likely many that will fit the bill. I've been able to debug SPI, I2C, and DCI and some parallel protocols with it. I have a LogicPort and it's a life saver. ![]() I already have a Fluke 189, regulated power supply, and a small proto board. Any one have any ideas on if I should get one of those too? Or any other equipment that I might need. I was also looking into getting a "Logicport" since most of this development has to do with communication and I don't want to get into a situation where I can't figure something out because I can't see what's going on. I've been reading "Programming and Customizing PICmicro Microcontrollers" and researching on the web like mad! So far I have purchased a BIGPIC4 board from MikroE (haven't gotten it yet) and it has a PIC18F8250 microcontroller on it ( I also ordered the rs485 and ethernet daughter boards. Accept commands so the PC can control the display and the relay terminal block (2 relay connections). Send key presses back to the PC using the selected communication method.ģ. Communication with the PC via one of the following: rs232, rs485, usb, or ethernet. Simply using a connection should make that connection the used by the terminal.Ģ. In short the terminal needs these features:ġ. The data terminal also has a small speaker for audible confimation tones and a relayed terminal block that can be opened/closed by a command. The PC then decides what to do with that key and send a command back to control the display. When the user taps a key, that key is sent out the communications port to the PC. The data terminal consists of a small phone style keypad with a few extra keys and a graphic LCD (probably using the Toshiba controller 240x128) in a basic box. The user can decide which interface to use by simply connecting to that interface on the back of the terminal. It communicates with a PC using either rs232, rs485, usb, or ethernet. The data terminal is very simple in principle. First let me explain what the data terminal is. I have been hired to create a data terminal using the PIC processor, but have a hit list of items the data terminal has to support. It does not store any personal data.I'm new (of course) to this PIC stuff, but have been developing software professionally for almost 20 years now.

A second customer then books a reservation for the same time slot and selects 2 guests. The system shows availability for 7 additional guests. A customer books a reservation and sets the guest count to ‘3’. This feature helps such businesses manage the to the requirement.Īn example: A merchant creates a 1-hour time slot (12 PM-1 PM) and limits the capacity for that hour to ‘10’ guests. ĭue to COVID, some businesses are permitted only a certain number of guests at a time. This change prevents scenarios where staff members sometimes book appointments with the incorrect staff member chosen rather than intentionally picking the actual service provider as a part of the process. The service provider must be selected manually helping to ensure the right individual is selected for the service. When booking an appointment, the employee column will no longer have a default value. Select a stylist when booking appointments.Ask our sales team how they can help get these capabilities setup for your account. Tip: SalesVu’s CRM and Loyalty programs can bolster your customer retention efforts, enabling you to target each segment with the right offers, perks and messaging to move them toward becoming repeat and loyal customer. One report even found that repeat clients spend 120% more annually compared to new buyers. Studies have shown that repeat or loyal clients not only spend more, they’re also easier to sell to and refer friend more often. The report also shows returning customers (clients whose order history includes two or more visits.)Īll this is about turning one-time clients into regulars. The data can be shown for 30, 60 or 90 days. This report looks at how many first-time clients (clients with one visit) returned for a second visit within a given timeframe. So, understanding how many clients your stylists see in a given period is a critical fist step toward focusing on how to increase revenue. You may also filter by Store or by Employee.įor salons or spas, services performed by your staff are your primary source of revenue. Once again, results can be filtered by Custom Date Range, or you can quickly view results for selecting Today, This Week or This Month. Similar to store utilization, this report shows the number of clients each stylist serviced within a specific period. Track the number of clients a stylist services.You can then build a plan to move the metric closer to where you want as you make operational adjustments. ![]() A simple calculation like “Total Treatment Hours Available / Total Hours Sold.” would tell you what capacity was achieved compared to a goal or potential. To maximize efficiency, you can measure Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) such as how much of your salon’s booking potential is being realized. ![]() You can view the report by date range, or you can filter the results by Store, by Employee, or for a Custom Time Period. This information can help assess how close you are to operating at full capacity at each of your locations. This report shows the number of hours booked within a specific period of time. A third new report focuses on client retention–the bread and butter of any established business. Two new reports help you measure and improve resource utilization. Similar insights apply to optimizing the utilization of physical space. Tracking metrics like the average number of clients each stylist sees in a day can identify opportunities to accommodate more clients per day. It’s challenging to run a successful salon or spa without placing focus on optimizing your resources to achieve maximum potential. If you own an appointment-based business, we’re sure you’ll agree the efficiency of your salon business is critical to your success. New Reports and features help maximize salon and spa efficiency In this post, we want to share an update on some great new features just released in our Feb-2021 Product Release, and to take a moment to thank you for being a member of the SalesVu community Please let us know your feedback on any of the features we listed below, or how we can help out with any of them. We found the buds comfortable and did not fall out of our ears even with vigorous workouts. We found the Backbeat Fit 2100 good but not one of the best sports headphones for sound. You can use the Backbeat Fit 2100 in the rain as it is splash-proof as well. While the ear tips made of silicone and have an in-ear design, you will be safe on the road as it allows ambient sound. On the other hand, it has a built-in strap that keeps the buds secure behind the ear. Furthermore, the headphones comfortable and you will forget you have them on. The Plantronics Backbeat Fit 2100 has a simplistic design while the controls intuitive to use. Yes, if you are an athlete who enjoys running or working out in the gym. Extras: IP57 Certified with Built-in Mic.What is more, it has a microphone but does not have noise cancellation. Moreover, you can only connect the earbuds with one device, and if you want to use two devices at the same time, we recommend the Jaybird X3 instead. On the other hand, the earphones equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 with a range of up to 33-feet. While the sound is not perfect, you can remove the ear tips for cleaning. You can still enjoy classic tunes when jogging. But do not get us wrong it all depends on your hearing and taste. Furthermore, if you do have sensitive ears, you will hear a hissing noise that can become annoying. Sometimes the treble sounds muddy and hearing instruments are hard. When listening to hype music, the bass tends to fade away in the background, making it hard to hear the rumble. We found the sound average! You do get some excellent mid-range sounds, but it does have problems with the bass and treble. Furthermore, while we did not have charging issues, individual customers had this problem-so if you do find issues with the battery charging, contact Plantronics as they honor you with a year warranty. The only way of checking is via the phone app. One thing we did find annoying is that it does not have a battery charge indicator compared to the Jaybird. So you can use it for a marathon while enjoying your music. $49.95 Plantronics Backbeat Fit 2100 PerformanceĬompared to the Jaybird X3 sports earphones (8-hour battery use), the Backbeat offers up to 7-hours playback. On the other hand, you can use the My Tap function available in the Backbeat app to use the stopwatch or listen to your playlist. On the right bud, you have the physical button to switch the headphones on/off, pause music, track forward, and skip tracks, and more. ![]() Even the way you control the earphones improved as the left bud is touch-sensitive to control the volume. Furthermore, the buds are IP57 rated, making them sweat and waterproof. Lastly, you can select your preferred color from gray, blue to lava black. The texture feels lovely with a touch of reflective coating found on the earbuds. The headband consists of flexible rubber and conforms to your head. On the back of the earbuds, you have a button to control playback. The buds sit outside your ear, and we did find them comfortable during our jogs. You get a firm silicon bud with a loop to keep the ear tips in the ear. The design lets in ambient noise to hear the traffic while you are biking or running. Therefore, you will not get a tight seal to keep outside noise out. The ear tips are still not made to jam into your ears. You get more color options, but did they fix the problems found in the older versions? The fact is that the design has not changed much over the years. While the Backbeat Fit has been around since 2014, it has gone through some vital upgrades over the years. Beneath the molding, you find the USB charging cable with all the essential documents needed. When you receive the Plantronics Backbeat Fit 2100 earphones, it is in a clamshell box with the buds neatly tucked away. $49.95 Plantronics Backbeat Fit 2100 Design Take a look at this awesome: Plantronics BackBeat Go 810 Plantronics Backbeat Fit 2100 Pros and Cons But if you are undecided if these in-ear earphones made for you read the Plantronics Backbeat Fit 2100 review that follows here. Furthermore, with the small design, it fits comfortably in the pocket, plus it is waterproof at an affordable price.
