"On the battlefield, in the torture chamber, on a sinking ship, the issues that you are fighting for are always forgotten, because the body swells up until it fills the universe, and even when you are not paralysed by fright or screaming with pain, life is a moment-to-moment struggle against hunger or cold or sleeplessness, against a sour stomach or an aching tooth." - George Orwell, 1984ħ. “Ignorance is the parent of fear.” - Herman Melville, Moby-DickĦ. “He thought with a kind of astonishment of the biological uselessness of pain and fear, the treachery of the human body which always freezes into inertia at exactly the moment when a special effort is needed.” - George Orwell, 1984ĥ.

![]() Waiter is a restaurant, food delivery company in small and mid size market. I’ve got about 20 years of experience using analytics and advanced algorithms, you know, in a whole bunch of different industries like transportation for example, airline rail, trucking, ocean carriers, printing, publishing, manufacturing, finance and delivery. I’m actually kind of a mixed bag when it comes to data science and analytics. How, how does that function really work? Let’s start maybe with Simon and then Fatma and then Rollen, if you could just give us a little introduction, and we’ll get going from there. So the audience knows, again, we’re talking about today, the topic is how data science, machine learning and AI can best support executive strategy and business goals. You are all executives and companies that are doing amazing things with data science. We are super excited to have you guys here. Just this last week we finalized the merger of Vault Analytics and Lightpost Analytics under the new banner of the Data Crunch Corporation, which improves our capabilities to serve our clients head over to to check out our training and consulting offerings.įor our executive panel, today we’ll be talking to Simon Lee, the chief analytics officer from Waiter Fatma Kocer, who is the vice president of data science engineering at Altair, and Rollen Roberson who is the president at Trianz.Ĭurtis: So, welcome everyone to the executive panel. There’s a lot going on here at Data Crunch. Ginette: Data Crunch is produced by the Data Crunch Corporation, an analytics training and consulting company. Ginette: And you are listening to Data CrunchĬurtis: A podcast about how applied data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence are changing the world. ![]() We welcome three executive guests from different organizations to share their experiences and insights about how data science can best support executive goals. The condition of the item was misrepresented on the product page.Today is a special episode. ![]() For example, you ordered a PlayStation 4, but instead received only a Playstation controller. The scammer has sent you a completely different item. In this case this is what PayPal states:"If your order never shows up and the seller can't provide proof of shipment or delivery, you'll get a full refund. The simplest situation is that you ordered from an online store and it has not arrived. On their website, you can file a dispute within 180 calendar days of your purchase. If you used PayPal, you have a strong chance of getting your money back if you were scammed. If you are indeed dealing with scammers, the procedure (and chance) of getting your money back varies depending on the payment method you used. Sadly, getting your money back from a scammer is not as simple as just asking. This is the first and easiest step to determine whether you are dealing with a genuine company or scammers. If you think you have been scammed, the first port of call when having an issue is to simply ask for a refund. So the worst has come to pass - you realise you parted with your money too fast, and the site you used was a scam - what now? Well first of all, don’t despair!! Scratching beneath the surface often reveals Scammers know this and often insert logos of social media sites on their websites. Social media is a core part of ecommerce businesses these days and consumers often expect online shops to have a social media presence. If the difference in prices is huge, it might be better to double-check the rest of the website. The easiest way to do this is to simply check out the same product at competing websites (that you trust). If an online deal looks too good to be true, think twice and double-check things. A Gucci bag or a new iPhone for half the price? Who wouldn’t want to grab such a deal? Scammers know this too and try to take advantage of the fact. When looking for goods online, a great deal can be very enticing. The below tips will help you identify the signs which can indicate that a website could be a scam. The ability to spot online scams is an important skill to have as the virtual world is increasingly becoming a part of every facet of our lives. There are fraudsters making all kinds of claims to trap victims online - from fake investment opportunities to online stores - and the internet allows them to operate from any part of the world with anonymity. As the influence of the internet rises, so does the prevalence of online scams. ![]() For most people, developing the skill it takes to beat this mode takes dozens of hours, often even more!Įverything in the game is playable in co-op with up to four players! You can connect directly through Steam, or use IP based networking if you prefer that (when playing with non-Steam users, for example). It's a procedurally generated dungeon system, with limited healing and permadeath. If you want to do everything currently in Story Mode, expect to invest at least 20 hours.Īrcade Mode is where players usually put the majority of their time. In the current version it takes about 8 hours to complete if you skip most of the side content. Story Mode takes you through the game's main story, and is the "core" experience. The game is separated into two modes: Story and Arcade. Basically, you can't play the whole game yet, almost similar to an episodic title that hasn't released all episodes. In other words, what's there is very playable, but a lot of things isn't there. “The Secrets of Grindea beta is highly representative of how we envision the final product, but it lacks much content. ❼uál es el estado actual de la versión de acceso anticipado?
![]() We can give our kids a glove, a ball and a bat, take them to a ball field and talk about baseball until we are blue in the face, but this is no guarantee that our kids will be thinking baseball the whole time they are at the park. Kids Will Find Interests Other Than Baseball While On the Field The most important that we go into our tenure as Tee-Ball coaches with an understanding of the developmental limitations of kids in this age group. As the spring progresses the kids hey will improve and they will begin to catch the ball more often. In addition to the lack of brain development needed to track and catch a flying ball the fact is that most have very little experience or practice in this skill. Missing a thrown ball at this age has little to do with a lack of athletic talent. It is important recognize that, short of a few exceptions, the brains in kids this age have not developed to the point where they can catch a flying ball with much proficiency. Until both eyes learn to work together we humans lack a keen sense of depth perception, which plays a big role in catching a flying baseball. Scientific research has determined that the human brain, on average, does not develop the capability to coordinate both eyes in what is called ‘binocular vision’ until around age 7 or 8. However, given the information in this section, over time, we can be help our kids begin to learn the basics of baseball and develop some baseball skills. ![]() ![]() We want to see the activity from a kid’s perspective and teach and manage them within their perspective and recognize that the activities at the park are not always going to look like baseball. If we approach the season for what it is, spending time with our child and their friends, watching them run around, laugh while they work to develop skills to catch, throw and hit that little ball, then we can have a great time as coaches.Īs adults we are going to the park thinking ‘baseball’, while the kids are going to the park thinking ‘I get to see my friends and run around a lot’. If, as a Tee-Ball coach, we go into the season thinking we are going to experience baseball we are setting ourselves up for a lot of frustration and disappointment. Accepting these points as the realities that they are, and being prepared to deal with them, will enable us to better enjoy the time we spend on the field with our kids. Please do not view these statements as negatives. Kids will find interests other than baseball during practice (and games) Then, to make matters worse, we add the concept of tagging a base as an option for getting a runner out.Īnd we are trying to teach these concepts in an environment where simply being the one who comes up from the bottom of the pile with the ball is plenty to call it a successful day. For our kids this game of tag is a little more complicated because throwing and catching that darn ball doesn't always work out real well. The defensive side of the ball is where the majority of our teaching challenges lie. Some kids, because of the fact that when they are running between bases they are not 'safe', will be reluctant to leave a base even when play forces them to the next base, especially when it is clear they are vulnerable to being tagged out (or put out at the next base). They are not particularly conscious of the times when they are going to get to the next base without a play being made on them. On offense, when the ball is in play, the kids' experience is a mad dash of anxiety in hopes of getting to the next base safely. (see the Coaches page – ‘Aren’t We Playing Tag?’) ![]() As we get into teaching skills and the basics to our kids, we must keep in mind that elements of 'tag' and being 'safe' will drive much of how the kids respond to activities on the field. Throwing skills, fielding skills, catching a throw at a base for a force out and even batting skills are secondary to the concept of 'safe' versus 'tagged out'. The central thought for these kids is the runner being safe at a base or being tagged out. Playing tag is almost a daily rite at recess for kids ages 5-7. Running the bases and while on defense, Tee-Ball is just another version of tag. We face the challenge of helping them understand that their legs do most of the work when swinging the bat. Before we start working with Tee-Ballers we need to understand their perspective of the game.īatting, as far as their logic goes, is done with the arms. To give Second in Command some credit I thought the story was alright & it certainly moves along at a good pace, there isn't much boring exposition but that obviously comes at the expense of the character's & the marines in particular suffer in this regard as it's very difficult to tell who is who since they all look the same & aren't even given names. The script is a sort of poor mans cross between Black Hawk Down (2001) with it's story about US military soldiers trapped in some anti American country up against local militia with the base under siege plot of Assault on Precinct 13 (1976, 2005) & there's even a Zulu (1964) style against all the odds fight at the end where the good guy's are badly outnumbered by the enemy but still carry on under impossible odds. ![]() This American Romanian co-production was directed by Simon Fellows & as far as I am concerned Second in Command is pretty poor even by JCVD standards whose films are usually fun & watchable if nothing else. With US relations already low in Moldavia the Embassy becomes the point of attack for the insurgents who are determined to overthrow President Amirev. At the US Embassy ambassador George Norland (Colin Stinton) & his second in command, ex navy seal Commander Sam Keenan (Jean-Claude Van Damme), organise & carry out rescue mission in which President Amirev is saved from the insurgents & sheltered in the US Embassy. However he has a huge insurgent problem, a 500 plus strong group of militia lead by Anton Tavarov (Velibor Topic), while trying to storm the Presidential Palace & seize control of the country several civilians are shot & killed by Palace guards which sends the angry mob into a violent frenzy. ![]() Second in Command is set in the civil war torn Eastern European country of Moldovia, there the situation is at critical as the newly elected President Yuri Amirev (Serban Celea) tries to Govern his people. that's an order!" More Eastern European lensed straight-to-DVD JCVD nonsense. Reviewed by poolandrews 4 / 10 "Give them hell. Marines to fend off the attackers.-Anonymous Ambassador is killed in the ensuing action, and it's now up to Jean-Claude and the embassy's small detachment of U.S. The embassy is then besieged by the well-armed insurgents.

Timecop is probably remembered as his last good movie before he got into a rut of mediocre(though successful) action flicks.Its also the most mainstream picture he was ever in for my money. ![]() ![]() We move in for a new angle nearer to the subject. Here's twenty dollars.ĬLOSE ON is a shot description that strongly suggests a close-up on some object, action, or person (an expressive body part such as the face, or a fist). Character's names always appear in all CAPS when speaking. Daisy is dressed in evening-wear, ready for an Opera. DAISY, an elderly woman sits in the car as MORGAN, the driver, steps out and opens the door for her. In a screenplay, the name appears in all caps the first time a character is introduced in the "Action." The character's name can then be written normally, in the action, the rest of the script.įor Example: The limo pulls up to the curb. For example: two people talk as Bill and Ted fight in the b.g. Always use this term in lower case initials or written in full ("background"). Used to describe anything occuring in a rear plane of action (the background as opposed to the main action or attention is focused in the foreground). "Beats" are often interchangeable with ellipses "." A "beat" suggests the actor should pause a moment, in silence, before continuing the scene. Many scripts will use the parenthetical (beat) to interrupt a line of dialogue. Note: this is often implied by simple scene description. You're still in the same location, but the director knows to point the camera a different direction. To get from a detail shot of Billy playing to Jenny playing you'd use "ANGLE ON STRUCTURE" to suggest a new shot featuring Jenny. This usually occurs in scenes taking place in large settings.įor example: if you're at a playground and little Billy is playing in the grass while his sister Jenny is playing on the structure. For example, if a scene takes place on a tall building, you may want to have an aerial shot of the floor the action takes place on.Ī type of shot. This suggests a shot be taken from a plane or helicopter (not a crane). The sounds of TYPING rise above all the rest as MAX sits at his computer writing his essay.

Screenwriting Terms & Filmmaking Terminology When you are writing a script there are certain technicalities you need to understand outside of the creative process such as script formatting and using the correct film language, and while at first learning the "rules of screenwriting" may feel like a distraction from actually writing your story and script, it won't take long for you to get into the groove, especially if you let screenplay writing software such as Movie Outline do most of the work for you.

Besides, shipping damaged batteries is strictly illegal. ![]() Note: The regulator can be inspected and serviced at dive centres. ![]() Our factory in Sydney usually stocks over 200 individual components. If you wish to self-repair your AirBuddy and need any specific components, such as plastic parts, couplers, valves, piston, electronics, regulator parts, screws, o-rings, … please contact us at and send a picture of the part that you require. Without the battery and lid, it’s a relatively small, about 5kg box that can be easily posted back to our factory in Sydney, Australia. The one part that makes an economic sense to return to our factory for service is the main compressor unit. Replacing these parts with new ones is often more cost-effective and faster option than sending them back to our factory for repair. You can order and easily swap whole sub-assemblies such as the lid, float, hose, harness, regulator, flag, battery, charger, etc. It must suck to have a good idea, then have Apple implement it right out from under you.AirBuddy has a modular design. This one I'll be skipping, but as a developer myself, I wish him luck. Some apps are worth the money and I buy them, some aren't and I don't. I'm not sure how this is different than anything else out there. If the new features are worth it for someone, they can upgrade. If those extra features aren't worth the money, don't buy the upgrade. So the original app was expanded with additional features to make it worth the money. Some have claimed issues, but it's worked very well for me so far with my testing on my laptop. Big Sur handles the main part of connecting headphones. I tend to use better headphones at my desktop anyway. If you want additional features above and beyond what Big Sur offers, then this sounds like the right app. It’s best to just eliminate the issue altogether by telling it to connect for output only when connecting AirBuddy allows this, and macOS alone doesn’t. It does this randomly, even with nothing open that could possibly need the microphone and certainly nothing actively using it. ![]() Sometimes, when connecting my AirPods, macOS likes to choose the AirPods for both output and input, which given Bluetooth 4.2’s reduced bandwidth means atrocious output audio quality until you manually switch the input back to the built-in mics. Unless Apple has begun blacklisting certain high-profile incidents like these, and I don’t know why it would/should, these edge cases will continue to be a nuisance for the foreseeable future, pending updates on developers’ end.Īn example of something that AirBuddy 2 allows that macOS Big Sur doesn’t is so-called “connection modes,” which resolves a major nuisance for me, an iMac user stuck on Bluetooth 4.2. It’s still a mess on the Mac - rapidly improving, but enough of a mess that I have had to disable sound effects on multiple apps and even websites so that (for example) a new chat sound effect from Facebook’s website doesn’t cause audio to switch over to my Mac from my iPhone while playing music. Click to expand.Yes, I’ve been testing automatic device switching since it was available and kept my Mac updated. |
