Next add a new resource directory called 'menu' to the res folder.Setup view binding for this activity also.Switch to the corresponding Kotlin file and add methods for both buttons' onClick values (each taking a parameter of type View), with no implementation.The final button should have an id of "btnAdd" and an onClick value of "addAssignment".Add an attribute named "android:datePickerMode" to the DatePicker and set its value to "spinner".The id of the DatePicker should be 'datePicker'.The Weight Edit text should be configured with the 'number' input type.The ids for the EditText elements should be 'etTitle' and 'etWeight' respectively.The first button does not need an id, but should have an onClick value of "addModule".The id for the Spinner should be 'spinner'.This will be used to add a new assignment deadlineĪdd the following elements to the screen, laying them out as shown: Spinner, Button, EditText, EditText, DatePicker, Button Add another empty activity called AssignmentDetailsActivity.In onCreate set an onClickListener for the button to it calls the addModule method.Switch to the corresponding Kotlin file for the activity, and add an empty function called addModule.Set the text view to the full with of the activity (Again with an 8dp margin).Set the text size for each of the edit text elements to 18sp, and set them to the full width of the activity (with a 8dp margin all round).An EditText with the id of 'etTitle', and the hint as "Module Name" (again make it a String resource).CO5225" (convert the String to a String resource) An EditText with the id of 'etCode', and the hint as "Module Code e.g.The layout for this should consist of the following elements, one below each other in the following order: Setup view binding, again naming the binding binding.This will be used to add and edit the details relating to an individual module Add a new empty activity named ModuleDetailActivity.Open the associated xml file and add a ListView so it fills the screen (set width and height to match_parent).Setup a view binding named binding for this in the usual way, note that the binding class will be called ActivityModuleListBinding.This will be used to display a list of modules which a used can select to edit Add a new empty activity named ModuleListActivity.In the onCreate method set an onclickListener for the button which calles the addAssignment methodĬreating the additional Activities Module List.Open MainActivity.kt and add an empty stub for the addAssignment method as follows:.If you are struggling with the layout, you can see an example here (click to expand>. Set the id of the ListView to "listView".Open the activity_main_xml and delete the existing TextViewĪdd a ListView which fills most of the screen, with a button at the bottom, as shown here:.Start by creating a new Android App named 'Deadlines' with Kotlin support, targeting API 14 and later, with an Empty Activity (leaving it with the default name).One module can have multiple assignments. The first of these will represent modules (simply a module code and a name), and the second will represent assignments which will comprise of a title, weight, deadline, module and id. The project will have two classes for the data (with corresponding tables in the database).Since ours is a note app, the entity will simple be Note.This tutorial will introduce you to the use of SQLite databases within an Android application by building an application to track assignment deadlines The tutorial is designed to walk you through developing the project from scratch, but, if you have limited time and only want to focus on the database aspect of the tutorial, then you can download this starter project, and skip the bits of the tutorial which are already in place. Sugar ORM will use the information in this class to automatically create a table. Modify your AndroidManifest.xml as follows: Ī model (bean) class which extends SugarRecord is all you need. Add this under your adle dependencies block: compile ':sugar:1.4'Ģ. Taking the example of a note app similar to Google Keep, we’ll see how to:ġ. But with Sugar ORM, all you need is a model (bean) class and you’re good to go. Typically using SQLite in Android required a lot of boilerplate code, which took considerable time. Here are other storage options you could check out. Insanely easy way to work with Android Databases. In this Android SQLite Database tutorial, I’m here to show you an easier way to it.

very formally or very informally, in a monotone, in an accent, etc. Speaking in a way that is not expected in the context of the conversation e.g.Find joining in conversation difficult.Some of the characteristics that autistic adults commonly report, include: Communication It is unlikely that an adult, you will display all of these characteristics, and it’s important to remember, only a qualified professional can carry out an assessment for autism. Note that the information below is just a list of some of the common characteristics of autism. These signs cover a range of human behaviour from social communication and social interaction, to restricted, repetitive and sensory processing. If you’re reading this page, you may be thinking that you, your partner, or someone you know or love is showing some of the characteristics of autism. This can have an impact on a persons mental health, physical health, and wellbeing. Individuals may develop the feeling that “everyone else is different” and may find it hard to form meaningful relationships, or have satisfying careers, despite wanting these things. However, many adults that demonstrate the behaviours of autism, and are not formally diagnosed, may also find life difficult, isolating, or a bit of a struggle in some areas. They might develop meaningful relationships, have satisfying careers, or live an excellent quality of life that satisfies them. Many adults who demonstrate the behaviours of autism, and are not formally diagnosed, live life perfectly well.
And coffee connects people just the way sports and adventure connect people: When you climb a mountain you have a moment together at the peak (maybe with an AeroPress), after a workout you refuel with some coffee or sit at the campfire with a cup of tasty coffee.” Coffee is a kind of fuel for your daily adventure, no matter what you’re up to. We want our coffees to be more than that though: As in our initial inspiration to get into coffee, we want to make Specialty Coffee accessible and a fun, inclusive and non-intimidating experience. The girls reply: “Of course we want to roast outstanding coffees to their full potential. This is a lesson to take when thinking about coffee producers: Their livelihood often depends on the forces of nature and if there is drought or too much rain, the crop won’t grow the way it should and there is not much they can do to change it.” How do all their coffee enlightenment and sports activities reflect in what they do as a roastery? There is no way of fighting nature, you have to go with her and make the best of it. When you’re out in the mountains, a change of weather can occur very quickly and show how the forces of nature can be merciless. Thanks to their love for the outdoors, they have understood that nature cannot be controlled: “The great outdoors are humbling and they also teach you, how small you actually are as a human being. Because you actually are capable of doing so much more than you think and it’s about overcoming the barriers we have in our mind and keep pushing.” But it’s not what we do… endurance sports has taught us to keep going, even when it’s tough. And you learn how to manage a situation with limited amounts of resources,” Simone draw the connection.Īnd we see their drive has not left them - and probably never will - based on their reflection on their work: “In a long distance race or on an outdoor adventure, there usually comes a time when you’re exhausted or lost or something else is bringing you down and all you want to do is give up, sit down and cry… which is what some people do. Simone and Denise’s background in high-performance sports have taught them a lot, for example: “… how to grit your teeth and carry on, even when you think you can’t. With the aim at their own generation, they wanted to bring a product that would be fun, cool and accessible. That was the reason Simone and Denise wanted to change it. It was always marketed towards tradition and heritage and good-old-days, but in a bad way,” was their honest answer. What was the coffee like in Switzerland, then? “The image coffee had back in Switzerland was either grandma-style or old school Italian style (styled all in red-black-gold-brown). And of course Hawaii is a coffee growing origin, so you could drink locally grown coffee everywhere,” Simone and Denise told us. “It seemed more contemporary and marketed towards our generation. Hawaii opened their eyes to a coffee culture that was diametrically different from Swiss coffee drinking dogmas. A coffee roaster and an Ironwoman? A combination that sounds more than convenient- if you know a little bit about roasting, physically quite a demanding profession. Simone came to take part in the Ironman World Championships. They did not travel from the mountainous Switzerland to the sunny beaches of Hawaii for holidays though. It is then they encountered an immense coffee culture while visiting Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. In 2007, the general knowledge of coffee was quite limited by the Italian traditions. Simone Ernst and Denise Morf had zero coffee experience- besides for their coffee drinking habits- prior to jumping head-first to their business. Hawaii’s Coffee Culture Motivates A Change In Switzerland Vertical Coffee is a wonderful project that presents clearly the roasters’ interest, ambitions and approach to life as a whole. What their description did not capture is the amazing background of the roasters and their introduction to coffee. Denise Morf + Simone Ernst = Vertical Coffee Roasters Our roasting style highlights the exceptional work done at the origin and shows off the coffee’s unique flavours.” The short description of Vertical Coffee Roasters could be a summary of many ambitious roasters and it definitely gives you an idea of their attitude towards and respect for the Speciality Coffee as a product. “We love to share our enthusiasm for outstanding coffee and take your taste buds on a mouth-watering adventure. In addition, it will, no doubt, be shown on local TV and live-streamed on the internet. However, if you don’t mind standing in line for hours, tickets for the “free” sections in the upper level of the Guelaguetza Auditorium are available before each of the four performances. Reserved seat tickets have been sold out for weeks. However, the good news is that there are some new groups this year, including Santiago Niltepec, Santo Domingo Chihuitán, Santa Catarina Ticua, and Santa María Huatulco - and their supporters are thrilled. In addition, social media tweets and comments in Oaxaca are flying fast and furious regarding the absence of Santiago Pinotepa Nacional and Juchitán de Zaragoza. While there will be four presentations of the Danza de la Pluma, this year Teotitlán del Valle will not be one of them and I’m disappointed - this group of danzantes de promesa are SO good, they were such a hit last year, and I don’t know how much more “traditional” you can get. The Guelaguetza 2017 delegations were announced late this morning. This afternoon, this guy’s garbage cart was SO full, he was having a hard time pulling it over the cobblestones. A temporary Guelaguetza truce to the almost two-week dispute that has prevented garbage from being delivered to dump, was agreed to last night. And, best of all, residents and visitors will not be navigating along sidewalks piled with garbage. That’s not all, folks! There are additional Guelaguetza dance performances, expo-ventas, and fairs in the surrounding villages. If you don’t believe me, take a look at the official schedule below. The schedule of activities during these next two weeks is always jam-packed, entertaining, and exhausting. Beginning at 10:00 AM, contestants from the eight regions of the state of Oaxaca will showcase and explain the costumes and traditions of their communities, both in Spanish and their materna lengua (mother tongue). In addition, tomorrow Diosa Centéotl (Corn Goddess) will be selected to preside over La Guelaguetza. Last year, at least 20+ moles were presented at the “all you can eat” buffet in the Jardín Etnobotánico. While there have been pre-Guelaguetza calendas for the past couple of weeks, for me, the festivities really begin tomorrow - with the Festival de los Moles. “The fiesta is a cosmic experiment, an experiment in disorder, reuniting contradictory elements and principles in order to bring about a renascence of life.” Everything merges, loses shape and individuality and returns to the primordial mass.” “Everything is united: good and evil, day and night, the sacred and the profane. “In the confusion that it generates, society is dissolved, is drowned, insofar as it is an organism ruled according to certain laws and principles.” The important thing is to go out, open a way, get drunk on noise, people, colors.” “Do they forget themselves and show their true faces? Nobody knows. “Our poverty can be measured by the frequency and luxuriousness of our holidays.” “The art of the fiesta has been debased almost everywhere else, but not in Mexico.” “The solitary Mexican loves fiestas and public gatherings.” I couldn’t miss it - the cacophony of multiple bands, cohetes (rockets), and honking horns announced its arrival in my ‘hood! In the words of Octavio Paz, from The Labyrinth of Solitude… Today, the Gran Calenda del Mercado de Abastos (parade of the markets) passed within a block and a half of Casita Colibrí. The prehispanic riches of tejate and tamales - a couple of reasons why Oaxaca is a food lovers paradise.Īnother day, another parade. Chichilo mole is made from chilhuacle negro, mulatto, and pasilla chiles blackened tortillas and seeds of the chiles and avocado leaves, the latter imparting a subtle anise flavor. However, because chichilo mole originated in San Andrés Huayapam and is only served on special occasions (weddings, christenings, harvesting of crops), I always make sure to bring home a couple. I don’t really have a favorite - they are all so uniquely special. It reminded me of the lyrics from the Neil Diamond song, Sweet Caroline: Hands, touching hands, reaching out… Darn, I didn’t even see them! Though not a surprise because it was quite a scene as crowds amassed in front of the vendors placing their orders. The local newspaper reports there were also fish and shrimp tamales. There were mole negro (black mole) tamales wrapped in banana leaves…Īnd… flor de calabaza (squash blossom), amarillo (yellow mole), verde (green mole), chapulín (grasshopper), frijol (bean), and chepil (a wild herb) wrapped and steamed in corn husks. Tamal vendors from San Andrés Huayapam stood behind long tables lined with tin buckets, giant pots, and baskets covered with colorfully embroidered towels hiding every kind of tamal imaginable. As the name implies, the Feria del Tejate y el Tamal also featured tamales, along with yesterday’s blog post subject, Tejate, “Drink of the Gods”. – GGT is another liver enzyme frequently included in the “liver panel.” GGT is a most sensitive indicator of liver stress or damage (even in the past) and is often elevated in patients who have had liver disease in the past or who are presently on a medication, drinking excess alcohol, or exposed to something that is putting stress on the liver. Elevations of AST (SGOT) or ALT (SGPT) enzymes can indicate stress on the liver (as can be caused by some medications or alcohol) or actual damage to liver cells (as in hepatitis, cirrhosis, or other liver disease). – AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) are two enzymes found within the cells of the liver. AST (SGOT)ĪSPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE (SERUM GLUTAMIC OXALOACETIC TRANSAMINASE) ALT (SGPT)ĪLANINE AMINOTRANSFERASE (SERUM GLUTAMIC PYRUVIC TRANSAMINASE) A further test can be run to tell the difference between bone or liver alk phos. High levels of Alkaline phosphatase can be an indicator of blockage in the liver, or damage to bone. – Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme found in the cells that line the ducts of the liver and also in bone. Greatly elevated bilirubin levels cause jaundice. Elevated levels usually indicate a problem with the liver’s ability to process bilirubin either through increased breakdown of red cells, or, more often, liver disease such as hepatitis. Bilirubin is a protein processed by the liver and excreted in the digestive tract through the gallbladder in bile. Hemoglobin is the red pigment that carries oxygen in red blood cells. – Bilirubin is a by-product of the breakdown of hemoglobin. – Albumin/globulin ratio helps to discern if there is a problem with either globulin or albumin when the total protein is abnormal. There are many types of globulin that can be measured separately to determine what type of disease is going on if the globulin levels are abnormal. – Globulin is produced by the immune system (cells from the bone marrow). Low levels of Albumin are associated with liver disease. – Albumin is a protein produced by the liver. Protein level is the sum of the body’s albumin and globulin levels. Proteins are an indicator of body metabolism and general health of the liver and immune system. – proteins are the “building blocks” of the body. In this case, calcium is probably normal. This is because calcium is attached to proteins in the blood. Often calcium levels will be slightly outside normal ranges associated with either high or low total protein levels. Abnormal calcium levels are usually associated with malfunction of the parathyroid glands, or with severe illness. This is calcium in the bloodstream, important for proper function of the muscles. Low levels of Carbon dioxide are often associated with extreme stress on the body or abnormal kidney function. – Carbon dioxide levels are another indicator of kidney function, especially as they relate to the maintenance of the proper pH of the blood (balance between acidity and alkalinity in the body). Sodium, chloride, and potassium levels can be thrown out of balance (especially potassium) by diuretics (“water pills”). – Sodium, chloride, and potassium are the main salts in the bloodstream and are important indicators of kidney function. A low BUN/Creatinine ratio means creatinine is elevated relative to BUN. – when BUN level is elevated, the BUN/Creatinine ratio helps to determine if BUN elevation is due to dehydration or if it’s due to kidney problems. High levels of Creatinine are the best early indicator that the kidneys aren’t working properly. Creatinine is a protein and is filtered from the blood by the kidneys. – Creatinine is a by-product of muscle function. – high Urea nitrogen (BUN) levels are often associated with decreased kidney function or dehydration. Low levels are sometimes indicative of “hypoglycemia.” Urea nitrogen (BUN) High levels of Glucose (above 140 or so in the fasting state) are usually indicative of diabetes. The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel of lab test results look at the general state of the body with special attention to the function of the liver and kidneys. What do the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel lab results mean? The process of creating all the light views did take a lot of time but I was happy with the resulting normal map generated with Sprite Lamp. I wrote about the process of how I did that in the article referenced at the start if you are interested. I made the normal map for Jane the Elf in this article using Sprite Dlight and Sprite Lamp. I still think Sprite Dlight with its ability to export the light direction views and Sprite Lamp’s method of combining custom light directions (top, bottom, front, left and right) to generate the normal map have their merits if you want to create a more customised normal map for your image but still have the program work out the normal map stuff for you. I wrote about the process I used for making this normal map in this article. Top 6 Sites To Download Free Game Art, Sprites & Assets Create a Normal Map for your 2D Image There are images available for this on the internet if you are looking for 2D sprites, characters and icon type of images. If you don’t want to or are unable to make your own images, you could find a royalty free image to use instead. Vector art is very useful for creating suitable graphics for this, but you can use pixel art, digital painting or even traditional methods as long as the image is cleaned up and on a transparent background eventually. It must have some transparent space around it and the outline must be cleaned up to work well with the auto generation methods. If you are making your own sprites or images make sure to create the final image on a transparent background. There is a newer method here: 2D to 3D Laigter to Curvy 3D Dragon Then regression sum of squares, ssreg, can be found from: ssreg = sstotal - ssresid. When the const argument = FALSE, the total sum of squares is the sum of the squares of the actual y-values (without subtracting the average y-value from each individual y-value). When the const argument = TRUE or is omitted, the total sum of squares is the sum of the squared differences between the actual y-values and the average of the y-values. Excel then calculates the total sum of squares, sstotal. The sum of these squared differences is called the residual sum of squares, ssresid. In regression analysis, Excel calculates for each point the squared difference between the y-value estimated for that point and its actual y-value. You may want to chart them both for a visual comparison. You can then compare the predicted values with the actual values. These functions, without the new_x's argument, return an array of y-values predicted along that line or curve at your actual data points. You can calculate TREND( known_y's,known_x's ) for a straight line, or GROWTH( known_y's, known_x's ) for an exponential curve. However, you have to decide which of the two results best fits your data. The line- and curve-fitting functions LINEST and LOGEST can calculate the best straight line or exponential curve that fits your data. Where x and y are sample means that is, x = AVERAGE(known x's) and y = AVERAGE( known_y's ). When you have only one independent x-variable, the calculations for m and b are based on the following formulas: LINEST uses the method of least squares for determining the best fit for the data. The more linear the data, the more accurate the LINEST model. The accuracy of the line calculated by the LINEST function depends on the degree of scatter in your data. When you have only one independent x-variable, you can obtain the slope and y-intercept values directly by using the following formulas: Once you know the values of m and b, you can calculate any point on the line by plugging the y- or x-value into that equation. The equation of a straight line is y = mx + b. The y-intercept of a line, often written as b, is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y-axis. To find the slope of a line, often written as m, take two points on the line, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) the slope is equal to (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). You can describe any straight line with the slope and the y-intercept: The following illustration shows the order in which the additional regression statistics are returned. For information about how ssreg and ssresid are calculated, see "Remarks," later in this topic. For information about how df is calculated, see "Remarks," later in this topic. Compare the values you find in the table to the F statistic returned by LINEST to determine a confidence level for the model. Use the degrees of freedom to help you find F-critical values in a statistical table. Use the F statistic to determine whether the observed relationship between the dependent and independent variables occurs by chance. The F statistic, or the F-observed value. For information about how r 2 is calculated, see "Remarks," later in this topic. At the other extreme, if the coefficient of determination is 0, the regression equation is not helpful in predicting a y-value. If it is 1, there is a perfect correlation in the sample - there is no difference between the estimated y-value and the actual y-value. Compares estimated and actual y-values, and ranges in value from 0 to 1. The standard error value for the constant b (seb = #N/A when const is FALSE). The standard error values for the coefficients m1,m2.,mn. The additional regression statistics are as follows. If stats is FALSE or omitted, LINEST returns only the m-coefficients and the constant b. The array that the LINEST function returns is. The m-values are coefficients corresponding to each x-value, and b is a constant value. If there are multiple ranges of x-values, where the dependent y-values are a function of the independent x-values. Instructions follow the examples in this article. Because this function returns an array of values, it must be entered as an array formula. You can also combine LINEST with other functions to calculate the statistics for other types of models that are linear in the unknown parameters, including polynomial, logarithmic, exponential, and power series. The LINEST function calculates the statistics for a line by using the "least squares" method to calculate a straight line that best fits your data, and then returns an array that describes the line. Find links to more information about charting and performing a regression analysis in the See Also section. This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the LINEST function in Microsoft Excel.

Netflix may be attempting to soften the blow of the basic plan loss by sweetening the deal of the ad-supported plan. “We’ll sort of find our way based on that philosophy, and see when the right time to ask customers to pay a little bit more would be.” “Our goal and plan is to continue to be a great entertainment value, and beyond that, we’re not going to comment on other price changes or other changes on tiers,” Peters said. When asked to confirm when a price increase for the standard tier will arrive, Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters did not provide any details – but didn’t rule the move out. No announcement regarding price hikes in Australia have been made yet, but they will likely trickle down within a few months of international changes. There’s also an unpleasant surprise in store for existing members in the UK, US and France, as Netflix will once again hike prices for all tiers except the ads and standard plans. The streaming platform has already pulled the basic plan from the US, the UK, Italy and Canada, and this week reported the move boosted adoption of its ad-supported and standard plans. For now, this will just affect new or rejoining members, who will only be able to choose from two ads-free subscription tiers instead of three.Īt $10.99 per month, the basic plan is currently the cheapest ads-free tier, with the cost of the standard tier sitting at $16.99, and premium at $22.99. An incomplete uninstallation of a program may cause problems, which is why thorough removal of programs is recommended. There could be other causes why users may not be able to uninstall Scriptcase.
