Arduboy
BY Todd Coopee May 25, 2016 Pop Culture Nod of the Week
Company: Arduboy
Available: Spring 2016
This credit-card sized retro gaming system draws its design inspiration from Nintendo's Game Boy. Arduboy is built on top of the open-source Arduino platform, and is constructed with a combination of metal and polycarbonate. It features 32KB of storage, 2.5KB of RAM, a 1.3-inch OLED screen, stereo speakers, six tactile buttons and a rechargeable battery. These tech specs are decidedly basic but more than enough for some throwback 8-bit gaming.
Speaking of games, the Arduboy comes pre-installed with a classic game, like Blob Attack. A growing online community and developer program have created an online public library/wiki of free, downloadable games. It's also programmable, making it fun for programmers and aspiring programmers as well.
After far exceeding its Kickstarter goal last year, Arduboy is available for pre-order through a dedicated online store. The system checks in at $39 and comes in white red, green, blue, or yellow.

Donald Trump inauguration: Despite showman reputation, swearing-in of 45th POTUS shaping up as low-key
Washington: Donald Trump made his name with opulent hotels and a dramatic reality TV show, but his inauguration on Friday as the 45th US president is shaping up as a more understated affair, with big names in entertainment staying away.
Like those who came before him, Trump is all set to take his oath on the steps of the US Capitol building and lead a parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, but there will be fewer official balls and less glitz and celebrity talent to welcome in the new president. Inaugurations have been star-studded affairs since 1941, when President Franklin Roosevelt held a gala with actors Charlie Chaplin, Mickey Rooney and other stars of the era, said Jim Bendat, a historian who has written a book on US inaugurations. But this year, several singers – including Elton John and Charlotte Church – declined invitations to perform at inaugural events.
The US Capitol is seen during a rehearsal for the inauguration ceremony of US President-elect Donald Trump in Washington. Reuters
Trump, a New York businessman and former star of "The Apprentice" TV show, won with a populist platform that included promises to build a wall along the Mexican border, restrict immigration from Muslim countries and dismantle Obamacare.Broadway star Jennifer Holliday said yes to performing, but backed down after a backlash from fans. "You can't really find precedent for that," Bendat said in an interview. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, singer Jackie Evancho and the Rockettes dancing troupe are among those slated to perform, although individual Rockettes will be allowed to opt out of performing if they so choose. Trump's inaugural committee has said it is intentionally avoiding top entertainers.
"We're fortunate in that we have the greatest celebrity in the world, which is the president-elect," Tom Barrack, inaugural committee chairman, told reporters at Trump Tower in New York last week."So what we've done, instead of trying to surround him with what people consider A-listers, is we are going to surround him with the soft sensuality of the place," Barrack said.Trump is slated to attend three official galas. Other modern inaugurations have had around 10 official balls, which the president and first lady would attend in rapid succession, typically dancing during each appearance. Then-President Bill Clinton held a record 14 balls during his 1997 inauguration, Bendat said.
On Thursday, a series of choirs and marching bands will perform at the Lincoln Memorial, followed by a concert featuring country music star Toby Keith. Trump, who is entering office with unusually low approval ratings, has repeatedly pushed back against reports that his inauguration may be lacking in star power or have low attendance."People are pouring into Washington in record numbers," Trump said on Twitter on Tuesday. "Bikers for Trump are on their way. It will be a great Thursday, Friday and Saturday!" Officials expect about 800,000 spectators for the events – down from the estimated 1.8 million who flocked to Washington for Obama's 2009 inauguration.
Just 40 percent of Americans said they had a favourable view of Trump versus 55 percent who had an unfavourable view, according to a Gallup poll taken from 4 January to 8 Janury. At a similar point before he took office in 2009, Obama was viewed favourably by 78 percent of Americans. Before taking office in 2001, President George W. Bush had a 62 percent favourable rating, according to the Gallup data."What is most likely to distinguish Trump's inauguration is the number of protesters," said Brian Balogh, co-host of American history radio show BackStory.
The National Parks Service has granted permits to protest for 27 groups. On Saturday, the National Mall will draw what organizers estimate will be about 200,000 people to a Women's March to protest Trump.The Women's March, which is expected to be the largest protest, is aimed at bringing attention to human and civil rights issues. Honorary co-chairs of the protest include activist Gloria Steinem and actor Harry Belafonte.

Lisa has been searching everywhere in hopes to find a great dentist that accepts Medicaid in Indianapolis. Money is tight in Lisa's family, and she needs to find a high quality dentist that will accept Medicaid. One day, Lisa and her two boys came across an advertisement for Prime Smile and decided to check it out. They were immediately greeted with friendly, understanding faces and a staff who truly wanted Lisa and her family to receive the best possible dental care for the price they could afford. Prime Smile was happy to accept Medicaid, and Lisa felt the weight of the world lifted off of her shoulders.
Many parents in Indiana can sympathize with Lisa, as raising a family on a budget is a difficult task. Finding healthcare providers who accept your Medicaid insurance is crucial, and here at Prime Smile, we do just that.
Established in 1965, Medicaid is a program funded by both the Federal and State government that provides dental and health coverage for children and adults. Medicaid assists families who are in need of financial support, and it helps children who might not otherwise receive excellent healthcare to have the opportunity to so. In the last 60 years, Medicaid has provided great assistance to millions of individuals and families across the nation.
Medicaid provides dental insurance for 13 percent of residents who live in Indiana. This is a substantial portion of the population, and unfortunately the percentage of dentists that accept Medicaid in Indianapolis is not large enough to satisfy the amount of citizens who need it. This is why it's so important to find dentists that accept Medicaid in Indianapolis.
Lisa was happy to discover that Prime Smile was able to meet the dental needs of her and her children. Here at Prime Smile, we know raising a family is no piece of cake. Our dentists are experienced in treating children of all ages, and we are committed to making sure your child's dental experience is pleasant and free of all anxiety that children might face. We place great importance on teaching your children the importance of maintaining their own dental healthcare, and will show them how to properly care for their teeth on a daily basis.
Here at Prime Smile, we work hard to provide the underserved residents of Indianapolis with excellent dental care.

Burks won`t be bystander for Buffs' game at Kansas
Cliff Grassmick
CU's Alec Burks.
By Ryan Thorburn |
February 20, 2010 at 12:17 a.m.
LAWRENCE, Kan. — Alec Burks is tired of watching the Colorado-Kansas game, even though he has had a pretty good seat for the past two meetings.
A year ago Burks made the short drive here from his hometown to watch CU — the program he verbally committed to before his dazzling senior season at Grandview (Mo.) High School — play KU at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Buffs erased a 16-point deficit and silenced the Rock-Chalk chant until the eventual Big 12 champion Jayhawks finally exhaled and pulled out a 66-61 victory.
"I was there watching my future teammates fight to get a win," Burks recalled. "It was great to see."
On Feb. 3, despite being cleared by the CU medical staff, Burks was held out of the lineup by coach Jeff Bzdelik to give his sprained left knee some extra time to heal.
The Big 12`s top freshman scorer watched helplessly from the end of the bench as the Buffs lost a 72-66 nail-biter in overtime to the nation`s No. 1 team at the Coors Events Center.
"You never know," Burks said when asked if the results would have been different had he played. "But I would have liked our chances."
Burks will finally go from the ranks of innocent bystander to perhaps the key player to watch today as CU looks to end a 34-game Big 12 road losing streak and snap the nation`s longesthome-court winning streak with a rare victory over the mighty Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse (2 p.m., Altitude).
"We have a lot of confidence," Burks said. "My teammates played them close last year and this year. And I didn`t even play in the first game, so I feel like I can help my teammates out and we can get a win."
It would certainly qualify as a historic victory considering:
The Buffs` last Big 12 road win was on January, 21, 2006, at Oklahoma State (an 80-78 overtime win in Stillwater under Ricardo Patton).
The Buffs` last win in Lawrence was a 75-74 victory on Feb. 10, 1983 (Burks wasn`t even born until 1991).
The Jayhawks are 59-7 all-time against CU on their home court. Overall, KU has won 14 consecutive meetings in the series and 41 of the previous 42 meetings.
The Jayhawks have won 56 consecutive games at Allen Fieldhouse. KU is 109-6 at home under Bill Self.
"It`s going to be tough. I don`t even know how many games they`ve won at their place in a row," Nate Tomlinson said. "We just need to do the same things we did against Oklahoma — rebound, not turn the ball over, make some shots here and there, and we`ll have a chance."
The Buffs (12-13, 3-8) are coming off a 77-67 victory over Oklahoma in which four different players scored in double figures and Dwight Thorne added nine points off the bench.
CU will need that type of balance, and perhaps a lackluster effort by the top-ranked Jayhawks (25-1, 11-0), to pull off an upset for the ages.
"It would be a big win to take down the No. 1 team," said Burks, who will get a chance to play in front of his mom today. "A huge confidence boost."
CU has played well against some good competition this year with single-digit losses to ranked teams such as Gonzaga, Kansas State and Texas A&M, in addition to the home loss to KU and a win over Baylor.
However, the Buffs are still looking for their first conference road win under Jeff Bzdelik, who is 0-21 in Big 12 road games at CU.
"Young players have to learn how to win," Bzdelik said. "We`ve put ourselves in position many times to win but we haven`t been able to close it out."
This time, if the visitors can somehow stay in the game until crunch time again, CU will have a pretty clutch and confident player on the court in Burks.
"Crowds don`t really bother me. Maybe it bothers some other guys, but that`s just me," Burks said when asked about dealing with the atmosphere at Allen Fieldhouse. "I`m not really a believer in pressure. I feel like if we block all that out and do our job we`ll get a win."

Oooohhh… I just got all tingly when I read the synopsis of Best Intentions by Erika Raskin! How did a stay-at-home mom, who returned to her career as a hospital social worker, become the defendant in a murder trial? This medical thriller is about Marti Trailor, who grew up privileged, and is now married to a doctor who works at the same hospital. He is less than thrilled with her new position. Hmmm… I wonder why?
Erika Raskin is a Virginia author who makes the literary rounds in Richmond, Charlottesville, the Capital Beltway areas, and beyond. She has written essays for print and radio, articles, and short stories, as well as her novels. Best Intentions, set in Richmond, was a 2018 fiction finalist for the People's Choice Awards, an annual event by the prestigious Library of Virginia; quite an achievement!
Erika's book, Close, has also received excellent reviews. It's YA; however, enjoyed by adults, too, as a crossover novel.
Visit Erika's website to find a treasure trove of blog stories, musings, and essays. Read a few and you'll feel like you're having a conversation with her. Actually, I did have an in-real-life chat with her at a recent Richmond event which added another notch on my meet-an-author belt!
You can also find Erika's fiction and editing skills on the pages of Streetlight, an online magazine that publishes the work of writers, artists, photographers, and other talented creative people.
Any book that brings attention to the strength and contributions of women, gets my attention.
Erin Lindsay McCabe has written one such book. In I Shall Be Near To You, Rosetta doesn't want her husband Jeremiah to enlist, but he does; hoping to earn money to buy a farm. Rosetta, not happy to be left behind, cuts her hair, dresses as a man, and stuns Jeremiah by volunteering to fight with him as a Union soldier.
Can you imagine? Doesn't this sound fascinating!
Visit Erin's website to read more about this challenging relationship that is also a love story.
Erin has received much kudos for I Shall Be Near To You that was inspired by her research of an actual woman who fought in the Civil War. A few hundred other women did the same – on both sides.
Congratulations, Erin, on your book being a USA Today bestselling historical novel!

Wacker and Owls off to slow start
The men's soccer team snapped a four- game losing-streak last Sunday, with a 1-0 win over Mount St. Mary's in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Their lone goal came from freshman forward Nick Ebersole and was the Owls
The men's soccer team snapped a four- game losing-streak last Sunday, with a 1-0 win over Mount St. Mary's in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
Their lone goal came from freshman forward Nick Ebersole and was the Owls first goal of the season.
The team's slow start is due to the overwhelming number of new, young players over veterans.
This year, 11 freshmen comprise almost half the roster; and seven started in Sunday's game.
While it is clear that the team lacks experience, assistant coach David Simpson said "with every game played, the guys are growing closer.
A few more wins will raise their confidence in themselves and each other."
Simpson firmly believes that experience, for any team, is vital.
"Most of these guys are coming from high school to play Division I soccer," he said. That's a big jump."
Head coach David MacWilliams agrees.
"The physical aspect of the game has become more intense.
Many of the team's we play have seniors that are 20 to 30 pounds heavier than our guys.
The guys are gaining a world of experience, though, which is crucial to a successful season."
The team will have to work hard though, as they only have a few more weeks until its Atlantic 10 Conference schedule starts.
Beginning on Sept. 28, the Owls will be facing all 11 A-10 opponents consecutively, starting with St. Joseph's.
After a dismal showing last year (3-8), Simpson sees signs of hope within the young squad.
"We anticipate a decent showing this year," he said. "Our team expectations are high and hopefully this series will provide new experience for some of the younger guys."
Although young, sophomore forward Steven Wacker has become a team leader, adding his skills to the inexperienced team.
A graduate from Northeast Catholic High School, Wacker is a Kinesiology major who wants to become involved in personal training and fitness.
Wacker stands only 5 feet 5 inches, and is the smallest player on the team.
But he does not let this handicap him.
"I just go out there and play," he said.
"It doesn't matter if the guy you're up against is a foot taller than you. A long as you just go and play."
In high school, Wacker was MVP of the Catholic League and played on the All-State team.
After his first year at Temple, he was the Co-Rookie of the Year for the Philadelphia Soccer Seven.
"Wacker's definitely a leader on the field," MacWilliams said.
"The younger guys look to him for some inspiration, and he knows this."
"I don't think of the team as individuals, " Wacker said.
"I just work together with everybody and we get the job done."
Wacker sees the upcoming A-10 season as a great opportunity.
"The A-10 is real important for us because so far we haven't done as well as we'd hoped," he said.
"We're all gonna be going into it with high expectations, and as long as we just go out and play, we should do alright."
A hyper-extended knee put Wacker on the bench for part of Saturday's game and all of Sunday's game, but doctors say he should be fine for the rest of the season.

Q: Adjoint of linear mapping into $\mathbb{R}$. I am self studying adjoint operators on Banach spaces and want to check my thinking regarding the case when a linear mapping maps into $\mathbb{R}$.
In the general case we let $T:X \rightarrow Y$ be a linear mapping with $X$ and $Y$ Banach spaces. Then the adjoint of $T$ is itself a continuous linear mapping, $T^{*}:Y^{*} \rightarrow X^{*}$ defined by
\begin{equation}
   T^{*}(y^{*})(x) = y^{*} \circ (Tx).
\end{equation}
Now look at the case where $Y = \mathbb{R}$. Two points come to mind.
First, $T:X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, i.e. we already have $T \in X^{*}$.
Second, by definition
\begin{equation}
   T^{*}: \mathbb{R}^{*} \rightarrow X^{*}.
\end{equation}
However, since the dual space to $\mathbb{R}$ is itself $\mathbb{R}$, we in fact have
\begin{equation}
   T^{*}:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow X^{*}
\end{equation}
defined by
\begin{equation}
   T^{*}(c)(x) = cT(x)
\end{equation}
where $c \in \mathbb{R}$ and $x \in X$. Since $T$ is a linear mapping, this could be re-written as $T^{*}(c)(x) = T(cx)$. However, $X$ is a Banach space and is hence linear.  Therefore, $x \in X$ implies $cx \in X$ for any $c \in \mathbb{R}$. My question is, given the seeming redundancy of $c$ and the fact $T \in X^{*}$, can we say the adjoint of $T:X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is
\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
&T^{*}:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow X^{*} \\
&T^{*}(x) = Tx,
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
or is the $c$ a necessary part of the definition, even given its seeming redundancy?

A: As pointed out in the comments, your thinking is correct until the very last line. The issue boils down to understanding the domains of functions. For fun, let's walk through your thinking again to make sure we understand every step :)
Following your convention, we let $X,Y$ denote Banach spaces with $X^*,Y^*$ denoting their respective continuous dual spaces.
Your definition of the adjoint of a linear map $T : X \to Y$ is a common and great starting point. I'd just like to note that the adjoint $T^*$ is continuous given that $T$ itself is continuous. If $T$ is not continuous, then the adjoint need not be continuous. Also, in case you are interested, there are generalizations of the concept of adjoints to when $X,Y$ are simply normed vector spaces. One may also replace the continuous duals $X^*,Y^*$ in the definition with the algebraic duals $X^\sharp,Y^\sharp$. This Wikipedia link gives a nice summary. (Note the distinction between continuous and algebraic dual spaces is often an important one to make)
Now, onto your question. let $T : X \to \mathbb{R}$ be an arbitrary linear map. If we also assume $T$ is continuous (or equivalently bounded, see this Wikipedia link), then yes $T \in X^*$ by definition. Hence, by definition, $T^* : \mathbb{R}^* \to X^*$ is the continuous linear map where $T^*(y^*) = y^* \circ T$ for any $y^* \in \mathbb{R}^*$. Importantly, $y^* \in \mathbb{R}^*$ is a continuous linear functional on $\mathbb{R}$, and not a scalar. So, $T$ maps a linear functional on $\mathbb{R}$ to a linear functional on $X$. Yet, as you say, one can isomorphically identify $\mathbb{R}^*$ with $\mathbb{R}$. This is because every continuous linear functional on $\mathbb{R}$ is simply multiplication by a real number while, conversely, multiplication by a real number is always a continuous linear functional on $\mathbb{R}$. Try to prove that this is an isomorphism yourself as an exercise :) Denoting this isomorphism by $\Phi : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^*$, we have that $T^* \circ \Phi : \mathbb{R} \to X^*$ is a continuous linear map. Since we may view $T^* \circ \Phi$ as "essentially the same" operator as $T^*$, we may abuse notation and write $T^* : \mathbb{R} \to X$ instead of $T^* \circ \Phi$. This is what the majority of people do the majority of the time. Now, as you acknowledge in the comments, we may conclude that $T^*(c) = cT$ for any real number $c$, meaning $T^*$ maps the number $c$ to the continuous linear operator $cT$. So, we may indeed write $T^*(c)(x) = cT(x) = T(cx)$ for any real number $c$ and any $x \in X$. But, this does not mean $T^* = T$, as again $T^*$ maps real numbers to elements of $X^*$ while $T$ is itself an element of $X^*$. You have acknowledged this in the comments, which is great!
The point of this answer is to walk through some of the finer details that may or may not have been overlooked. It is always easy to get confused when dealing with functions between function spaces, and so it is a good exercise to slow down and take note of the domains, codomains, and identifications that are at play. Best of luck in your studies!

Behind the Title: Stir Post Audio sound designer/mixer Nick Bozzone
NAME: Nick Bozzone
COMPANY: Chicago's Stir Post Audio (@STIRpost)
DESCRIBE YOUR COMPANY:
Stir Post Audio is comprised of engineers, mixers, sound designers and producers, who transform audio mixes into what we call "sonic power shots."
WHAT'S YOUR JOB TITLE?
Senior Sound Designer/Mixer
WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL?
As a post sound professional, there are many different disciplines of audio that I use on a day-to-day basis — voiceover recording/mic techniques (ADR included), creative sound designing, voiceover and music editing, 5.1 and stereo broadcast (LKFS) mixing, as well as providing a positive (and fun) voice in the room.
WHAT WOULD SURPRISE PEOPLE THE MOST ABOUT WHAT FALLS UNDER THAT TITLE?
The term sound designer envelops more than simply spotting stock sound effects to picture, it's an opportunity to be as creative as my mind allows. It's a chance at making a sonic signature —a signature that, most of the time, is associated with the product itself. I have been very fortunate through my career so far to have worked on these types of commercial campaigns and short films… projects that have allowed me to stretch my sonic imagination.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE JOB?
My favorite part of the job is when its time to mix. Mixing can be just as creative, if not more so, as sound design. There are a lot of technical aspects to mixing heavy-hitting commercials. Most of the time there are a bunch of very dynamic elements going on at the same time. The finesse of a great mix is the ability to take all of these things, bring them all together and have them all sitting in their own spot.
WHAT'S YOUR LEAST FAVORITE?
It may be my least favorite part, but it's a necessary evil… archiving!
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TIME OF THE DAY?
During work, it's when the whole room gives my mix a thumbs up. During the weekend, it's definitely around sunset. For whatever reason, no matter how tired I am, around sunset is when my body kicks into its second wind and I become a night owl (or at least I used to be one before my daughter was born five months ago).
HOW EARLY ON DID YOU KNOW THIS WOULD BE YOUR PATH?
"If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." That was told to me when I entered college, and I took that quote to heart. Originally, I thought that I wanted to be a creative writer and then I had an interest in being a hypnotherapist. Both were interesting to me, but neither one was holding my interest for very long. Thankfully, I took an introductory class in Pro Tools. That one class showed me that there could be a future in sound. You never know where you'll get your inspiration.
Nick creating sounds for Mist Twst.
CAN YOU NAME SOME RECENT PROJECTS YOU HAVE WORKED ON?
Many projects that come through our doors require quite a bit of strategy with regard to the intention or emotion of the project. I worked on the re-branding campaign for Pepsi's Sierra Mist, which changed its name to Mist Twst.
There were a lot of very specific sound design elements I created in that session. The intention was to not just make an everyday run-of-the-mill soda commercial; we wanted it to feel crisp, clean and natural like the drink. So, we went to the store and bought a bunch of different fruits and vegetables, and recorded ourselves cutting, squeezing, and dropping them into a fizzy glass of Mist Twst. We even recorded ourselves opening soda cans at different speeds and pouring soda into glasses with and without ice.
I also worked on a really fun 5 Gum radio campaign that won a Radio Mercury Award. The concept was a "truth or dare" commercial geared toward people streaming music with headphones on. It allows the listener to choose whether to play along with listening to the left headphone for a truth, or the right headphone to do a dare.
We did campaign for Aleve with beautiful film showing a grandfather on an outing with his granddaughter at an amusement park and suddenly he throws his back out. The entire park grinds to a halt as a result — visually and audio-wise. There was a lot of sound design involved in this process, and was a very fun and creative experience.
For a recent package of TV spots for Kerrygold, the Irish dairy group, created by Energy BBDO. my main goal for "Made for this Moment" was to let the gentile music track and great lyrics have center stage and breathe, as if they were their own character in the story. My approach to the sound design was to fill out each scene with subtle sound design elements that are almost felt and not heard… nothing poking through further than anything else, and nothing competing with the music, only enhancing the overall mood."

Stay Informed When it Comes to Telematics
Melissa Steinken
KEYWORDS automotive repair Derek Kaufman diagnostics Right to Repair secure vehicle interface software updates telematics
Feb. 17, 2020—With the more prominent role that telematics plays in the automotive repair world. Derek Kaufman predicts shops will need to keep current with diagnostic and software tools in the shop.
Today, connectivity is in the shop. Cars are experiencing over-the-air software updates and a high-level of shop work is going to be electronics-related.
And, Kaufman, Auto Care Association writer of Telematics Trendline and managing partner at Schwartz Advisors LLC, says shop operators need to be informing their customers about the their car and the use of its data.
For instance, he recommends shop operators themselves stay up-to-date on the right laws so that they can then properly inform customers.
Shop operators may be aware of the Motor Vehicle Owner's Right to Repair Act which guarantees every car owner's right to have their car serviced at a repair shop of their choice.
Recently, in October 2019, Massachusetts lawmakers held a hearing on the state's proposed Digital Right to Repair act. According to a Ratchet+Wrench report, this act would require electronics manufacturers to make diagnostic, service, repair guides available to the public, while also prohibiting manufacturers to block repairs on a software or firmware level.
Back in 2012, Massachusetts passed the Motor Vehicle Owners' Right-to-Repair Act, or Right-to-Repair, requiring automobile manufacturers to provide the same information to independent repair shops as they do for dealerships. Because of growing technology, the Massachusetts Right-to-Repair coalition is still fighting for the same rights in terms of telematics and privacy in newly manufactured cars.
Not only do shop operators need to keep up-to-date with the Digital Right to Repair, another area they need to monitor is the secure vehicle interface and any laws surrounding the design. The interface provides a standardized, secure design for vehicle data to be shared with third parties at the owner's discretion, according to the Auto Care Association. It enables a smart global infrastructure where vehicles can "talk" to their surroundings (e.g., traffic lights, emergency vehicles, other vehicles, etc.) in order to adapt to an evolving driving environment, which results in safe and more efficient roads.

Islamorada, a village of four small islands in the Florida Keys, is known as the "Sportsfishing Capital of the World," reflecting a relationship with the water that is much different from the frolicking sandy beach activities of other Florida communities. Although public beach is limited along this strip of the Keys, there are several options for enjoying beachfront dining, live music on the sand, shelling and windswept walks at sunset.
Two small public beaches are wide open to visitors: one is free and the other requires a fee for access to the beach and other facilities on the grounds. Anne's Beach is popular for kiteboarding and swimming, with no charge for parking or entrance. A covered picnic area and boardwalk make this a family-friendly place for an outing that includes shallow wading out to the channel for shelling and collecting sea treasures. Founder's Park also has a public beach; it has a small admission fee that includes entrance to a heated Olympic-style swimming pool, skateboard park, tennis and basketball courts, marina, trails, amphitheater and various sports fields.
Plenty of restaurants offer outdoor patio dining, but Morada Bay takes it a step further by placing its Mediterranean bistro cafe in the sand, with the waters of the Gulf of Mexico lapping gently on the shore a few feet away. A small amphitheater sits to the side of the dining tables and the outdoor lounge area of the Morada Bay Beach Cafe, showcasing local bands and special events. The beach is family-friendly, with oversize colorful Adirondack chairs, tiki torches and a thatched forest with walking paths.
Morada Bay is also home to popular monthly "full moon parties" on the beach. Multiple bonfires light up the sand while fireworks burst through the skies above. Strolling guitarists play rockabilly, jazz or flamenco, and rotating entertainers include acts as varied as Brazilian capoeira dancers and a Bahamian Junkanoo parade. Circus performers walk on stilts through the sand, interspersed with fire blowers, acrobats and balloon artists. The over-21 crowd can pay a cover charge for the VIP lounge, plus dinner and dancing at Pierre's Restaurant and the Green Flash Lounge.
Overnight visitors to Islamorada have access to beautifully maintained private resort and hotel beaches on both the Gulf and the Atlantic Ocean sides of the Overseas Highway. Cheeca Lodge and Spa is one of the more exclusive resorts on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, with its own 1,100-foot private beach lined with palm trees and a saltwater snorkeling lagoon. Shade cabanas and beach chairs are available for lounging on the sand, while a tiki hut near the on-site 525-foot wooden fishing pier services a full array of water sports activities that include parasailing, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking and snorkeling. The Lime Tree Bay Resort is an affordable alternative on the Gulf of Mexico side of Islamorada, with a sandy beach on 1/4 mile of waterfront property. Gumbo-limbo trees, tiki huts, hundreds of palms, swaying hammocks and free kayaks for guests are all part of a stay at this beach-side resort.


Milwaukee area dentist Dr. Tony Cigno explains why you might be experiencing sensitive teeth and gums and what to do if you are.
Next, Dr. Cigno answers the question, "What is Tooth Sensitivity?" He explains this in a very in-depth manner with a full discussion of enamel, cementum, dentin, and dentin tubules. All together, these dental elements play a part in the technical or structural part of tooth sensitivity.
From a practical perspective, Dr. Cigno also shares the more common "causes" that we can somewhat control. These include things like excessive consumption of acidic food or drinks, brushing teeth aggressively, and even overuse of tooth whitening products. Furthermore, basic dental issues like a cracked tooth or filling – even gum disease – can create or aggravate tooth sensitivity.
Dr. Cigno also provides tips for taming gum sensitivity too. Not surprisingly, the first is to limit intake and consumption of extremely hot and cold food and drink. He also reminds readers not to grind teeth – or to look for solutions to minimizing damage due to grinding – since this can produce cracks in teeth that cause sensitivity as well. He even tells readers to watch how aggressively they brush as this can be harmful to enamel and also be a factor for increased tooth sensitivity.


We have a number of entertainers based across the country so we always have someone local to you. But our main office headquarters is based in Ealing at: 'Froggle Towers', Boundary House, Boston Rd, Ealing, Hanwell, W7 2QE.
What makes you different from other party entertainers?
No party is ever the same. We know this and we know that as a good children's entertainer, you have to respond to what children say on the day, and create a show that revolves around their energy levels. For example if kids are highly energetic and ready to start jumping up and down, we won't try to sit them down quietly and make them watch a show for 20 minutes, we'll get them up and play active games and dance to music. Too many entertainers have one set routine and simply try to plough through it even if no one's paying attention. Our team of entertainers are carefully picked to make sure they love working with kids and know how to enthuse them every step of the way. Each of our children's entertainers has bundles of energy and the shows are very lively, with loads of fun activities for children to watch and take part in.
How do I know what type of party to go for?
If you're not too sure what party to go for, the best thing to do would be to find out if your son or daughter has a preference. Alternatively feel free to discuss it with us and we can advise you. We know what children enjoy so no matter which one of our parties you choose, you can be sure they'll be varied and thoroughly entertaining.
Do you bring all your own equipment with you?
Yes we bring everything. We bring all our props, music system, etc. So apart from food and drink you don't need to worry about a thing.
Not at all. We can cater for parties for any age range. In cases like this we'll design the parties specifically so that there is something in there for everyone.
What do you do in the science party?
Our science parties include a range of fun science demonstrations that kids get to watch and come up to the front to help with. All the demonstrations that we do will be age appropriate. As well as being visually stunning and entertaining, kids will actually discover how the science works and how these amazing demos are possible. The kids will also get to try out their own scientific experiments in the party like making slime and other experiments. They can even take them home afterwards if they so wish. There is a lot packed into this party to keep it engaging and fun. The party also includes a range of fun science related games, snow machine, bubbles and prizes for the children, plus the option of balloon modelling.
Are your science parties safe?
Yes they are safe. All the experiments we do are fun, safe and age appropriate. There's also no mess to clean up afterwards.
What's the science part of the party?
Basically the whole thing! The children will not only experience the fantastic demonstrations for themselves and hands on experiments but they will discover amazing things to do with 'fantastic forces' like static electricity, air pressure, magnetism and friction and more. We have worked alongside a top science communication expert, Maria Rossini, to ensure the perfect balance of science content and fun. Maria's working credits include the Science Museum, British Science Association for the CREST awards, Science Learning Centre, Disney, BBC, the Crick Institute and many more. Your children really will explore the amazing world of science whilst having incredible amounts of fun.
Is there a break in your parties for food and drink?
You can have a break in your parties. We can accommodate the party to be how you prefer.
1 hour parties usually run straight through with no break.
For 1.5 hour parties, the suggested format is a one hour show, followed by 30 minutes of balloon modelling (whilst the children have tea).
For 2 hour parties the suggested format is a 45 minute show, then a 30 min break for kids to have food and drink, (during which time your entertainer will make balloons for the children to take home with them) then another 45 minute show.
These are only suggested formats though, so we can tailor the party to suit your needs but we do find these formats work very well to help your party run smoothly.
Do you have a minimum or maximum number of children at a party?
No there's no minimum or maximum. But the price does increase if you go above 35 children.
Do you give out sweets?
No. We don't give out any food, confectionary or consumable goods of any kind. This is due to allergies children may have to them.
What kind of prizes do you give out to the children?
My child saw your show. Can you do something different for their party?
Of course we have lots of different shows so there's no risk of being bored by repetition.
How many entertainers come to the party?
Unless you specifically request an additional entertainer there will be one person there.
Are the entertainers male or female and can I choose which I'd prefer?
We have both male and female entertainers. We can usually offer you the choice of having a male or female entertainer, subject to availability. But it does help if you book as early as possible to give the best possibility of accommodating your preference. Please do be aware though that we can never offer a guarantee of your entertainer being male or female. e.g. in case your entertainer has to change due to illness.
For most parties -yes they do, unless you request otherwise. We can always accommodate your preference.
Costumes vary depending on the party you go for. Typically most of our entertainer/ magicians wear a fun bright coloured red, blue and yellow costume.
Themed parties obviously have the entertainer dressed up as a character from that theme. If you would prefer not to have a costume we are happy to accommodate this too.
The science party has the entertainer in a cool science lab coat and science goggles.
Our games & dancing parties and our bubble and games parties tend to have the entertainer in our red froggle polo shirt.
What's the difference between an entertainer and Froggle the Clown?
The shows are very similar in nature but Froggle the Clown is dressed in a clown outfit complete with red nose, make up and wig whereas the entertainer is dressed up in a bright fun and colourful costume but without the wig, nose and makeup.
Yes. Absolutely. All our staff are DBS checked (formerly known as CRB).
Do you do party bags and what kind?
Yes we do. Our bags contain toys that appeal to both boys and girls or you can chose bags designed specifically for just boys or just girls, depending on what you're after. Click for more information on party bags.
How much notice do I need to give for ordering party bags?
We need a minimum of 4 full days' notice. So if your party is on a weekend then you need to order bags the Tuesday before the party, by 4 pm on that Tuesday. Parents sometimes like to wait till the very last day or two before the party to order the exact number of bags that they will need, but it's very rare that you will know the exact number of children coming to your party until on the day itself. So it's best to order a few extra in case siblings come along or someone who didn't RSVP turns up.
What other party extras do you do?
See our party extras page for a list of all our party extra services.
All bookings are done by telephone. Simply give us a call or email us to call you at a convenient time and we'll take down a few details about the party. We do ask for a small deposit to secure the booking but then the rest is paid to your entertainer on the day in cash. You will get a confirmation from us to say that everything is booked in and your entertainer will arrive a bit beforehand to set up.
We ask for deposits to be paid over the phone by credit or debit card. If booking quite far in advance we can accept bank transfers and postal orders made payable to 'Froggle Parties'. Unfortunately we do not accept cheques. The remaining balance is paid to your entertainer in cash on the day.
Our parties are very popular and operate on a first come first serve basis, so it's best to book as soon as possible. We can only confirm a booking on receipt of a deposit.
What happens once I've booked the party?
Just relax. That's it. We will send you a confirmation of your party by email and you will get a receipt for your deposit in the post. Your entertainer will turn up 15 -30 minutes before the due starting time in order to set up. (Set up time varies depending on the type of party you go for) So all you need to do is relax and enjoy the show.
Set up time varies depending on the type of party you go for. Your entertainer will arrive between 15-30 minutes before the start time to greet you and to set up.
Do you have a backup entertainer in case my entertainer is ill?
Once a deposit is made, it cannot be refunded if a party is cancelled less than 4 weeks before the date of the party. If you cancel more than 4 weeks in advance, we can refund your deposit but please note that a £10 admin fee applies.
If a party is cancelled less than 4 weeks before a party, the deposit is non refundable and non transferable to another weekend date. We can however reschedule your party to a later date as long as it is on a weekday.
In the event of extreme weather conditions, then you can cancel a party and get a full refund on the deposit but only if your entertainer is unable to get to the party. If the entertainer is able to get to the party and you still cancel then the deposit is non refundable and non transferable to another weekend date. We can however reschedule your party to a later date as long as it is on a weekday.
How do I send comments or feedback?
If you have any comments you want to send in or you want to speak to us, feel free to either contact our head office at 08450 504 509 or 0208 617 9070, or email us at enquiries@froggleparties.com.

We have been in the floral industry for over 20 years and have had the honour of combining our interest with the talent of companies like Full Frame Productions, their sister site Advanced Dermatology and organisations like Arts.The drive to utilize the beauty of the floral nature around us has driven us to learn new techniques and create brilliant forms of art for many years. Flowers have been a central point of our entire creative process and will continue to be improved and designed. For thousands of years, artists and designers alike have used flowers for designs and art, and we are expanding that tradition and thinking outside the box with all of our inspirations and creations. We are a top rated company that deals exclusively in the floral art industries and tie them together to form top quality artistic pieces that will amaze and surprise you! Our innovative technology for design has helped us get to where we are, as well as our undying interest in learning new methods of expanding the floral world in the art industry. While other companies would stick to the parameters they know, we are expanding our knowledge, dedication and inspirational designs daily. Knowing that the more we grow, the more work and quality we can put into our designs and the more our clients will appreciate the work that goes into these pieces. We are a strong minded company with the focus of nature and art around us. If you have any question, or would like to know more about our company, don't hesitate to contact us! Our staff is wonderfully trained and up to date on the latest horticulture information and are trained to stay up-to-date in the artist realm as well. Between our willingness to absorb the nature of the art and flora world, as well as ideas and motivation, we know that we will be able to give you the best possible experience and information. We thank you, our amazing customers, for your loyalty to our company, and we guarantee that we will never let you down.
The sweep of a brush, the scent of a flower, the click of a camera and the sound of the song are all beautiful expressions of art. Our world is full of exhilarating examples of art with all types of media bases. Creative minds see the world and everything in it as a blank canvas to create masterpieces, be it in writing, painting, music or anything really. Personally, I find some of the most magnificent artistic beauties in flowers and bouquets. Flowers exude a natural elegance and beauty that cannot be matched.
Flowers have been used in art for thousands of years. Artists and creative illusionists alike knew that the flower held vast possibilities when it came to art. The earliest known record of a flower being used in art is dated back to the Egyptian times, when the lotus was a symbol of great meaning. The Egyptians believed that the world started out as a vast oceanic expanse with a supreme ruler named Nun. Nun produced a single white lotus flower upon a hill of sand. The lotus would bloom and close daily, symbolizing the circle of life and the purity of life. It was believed that Nun allowed the lotus to hold the sun god, Atum, in his earthly form and that the petals at night would protect him until the new dawn.
When it comes to floral art, there are endless ways that they can be utilized. The possibilities are endless, and your imagination boundless. Let your imagination flow and let the beauty of the floral world around you be your inspiration. There are no wrongs or rights when it comes to designing with flowers. Flowers are part of our everyday life, and we should use them to the best of both our and their abilities. They were created for our use and enjoyment, and when we can use them to enhance the natural enjoyment, we are creating art in that alone! There is no limit to the uses for all flora types!
Whether you are just starting out in learning about how flowers are used for everyday purposes or whether you are a seasoned floral artist, you will never know how amazing flowers really are in art until you try to use them yourself. Again, there are no rights and wrongs, only new ideas and designs that have yet to be created.
Just as the civilizations of old times used them to create history and thought of them as center points in life, you can do the same and keep the spirit and history, as well as the magic and beauty of flora alive. You are an artist and the flowers, and other horticulture are your tools. Use them to create anything that you want and see the new artistic life that forms from it! There are no bounds; there are no limits, so let the flora take you to new places and enjoy what it can bring you!


Ok, older property but seems to have a great staff.
The staff was great. The unit they showed me was nice and clean. The prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended.
had no problem did some paper work paid for it and then got my unit.
Pain Free rental for storage unit. Very professional customer service. Would definitely refer friend to this storage unit place. Easy to find and Access Storage unit.
Clean, professional and great price!
The storage space was exactly as promised- secure and clean, and the staff was friendly, professional and straight forward. I would definitely recommend this facility to a friend, every point of the interaction was 5 stars from the staff to the site to the price. This is the best storage space experience I have ever had, no hassle just exactly delivered what I was promised!
The workers there took great care of me and provided me with the necessary information and assistance. I was pleased with their service.


Once again I'm in need of creating a navigation menu with drop downs. This time I've been working with Angular and using Foundation 4 for styling.
The good news is Foundation basically has all the styles already done for you under the class of "top-bar" and "top-bar-section". But since I needed to have this nav under the top bar I just copied most of the top-bar styles and put it under the "nav-menu" class. You can see some of the styles I copied over at the bottom of the css panel in the fiddle.
You can also test out using only foundation's top-bar styling by uncommenting out the html in the fiddle and commenting out the other "nav" element. And then change the directive name from "navMenu" to "anavMenu". Make sure the result panel is wide enough though cause foundation changes the css on small screen sizes when it comes to the top-bar.
Basically if all you do is include foundation's css the only thing you have to make sure you do is change your html to have a "top-bar" class and then a nested "top-bar-section" class.
If you've never worked with angular I definitely recommend it. But it can be frustrating especially dealing with directives (which is what we will be doing here). I think this guy is spot on with how learning angular will make you feel.
and it spit out my entire navigation.
The first directive I create then is the navMenu one.
In here i create the initial template. The template contains 2 other directives. Angular's built-in "ng-repeat" and my other "sub-navigation-tree". This is put inside a watch statement so if the menu changes it will be updated. The template is then compiled and linked to current scope and then appended to the current element.
This then compiles and links all the directives within that.
The Inner Directive handles the actual drop down part.
Here you see the same thing with the template but it's referencing itself now. The template is being linked to the current scope. This means that the directives within the template will be run using that scope. So ng-repeat="node in tree.children" will be looping over scope.tree.children.
The ng-repeat then creates new scopes for each item and gives that scope access to the object through whatever you called it in your ng-repeat. In our case "node". The scope that is created in the ng-repeat is the one that is passed to our directive.
Then if the current scope has children it does it all again with linking the template up with the current scope. It then replaces the current element with the template or removes it all together if there are no children.


2005 was a big year for storage security, with major vendors doing more than just paying lip service. Vendors are beginning to integrate security into new products or add encryption capabilities. But there's a lot more to do in 2006 to build a secure storage infrastructure.
Storage security turned a corner in 2005. Now it's time for storage pros to get serious about security.
AS FAR AS I'm concerned, 2005 was a watershed year for storage security. EMC announced to the world that, moving forward, security would be integrated into the company and its products. Network Appliance voted with its wallet by acquiring Decru. Tape leaders such as Quantum and Spectra Logic added encryption capabilities to their systems.
Storage security victory! Well ... not quite.
Don't get me wrong. After three years of carrying on about storage security, it's great to see this new wave of progress ripple through the industry. In spite of this, IT storage managers and the storage vendor community still have a myopic view of security. Too many folks think the term "storage security" can be interpreted as either backup encryption or as a security appliance à la Kasten Chase or NeoScale.
Security must be systemic. Remember the television show Get Smart? At the beginning of each episode, Maxwell Smart (Agent 86) had to pass through a number of security checkpoints before arriving in his office. In this vintage TV example, each checkpoint is another "layer" of security, a model often referred to as "defense-in-depth." Storage security is no different; to be truly effective, encryption must be supported with things like access controls, strong authentication and monitoring.
Security threats are always changing. Think about all the stuff you have to guard against on your PC: viruses, worms, spam, phishing, etc. The bad guys are discovering new attack vectors all the time. This means that the storage community has to remain in a constant state of security awareness. You have to make patching management servers and monitoring bug-tracking sites a priority, and ensure your staff is trained to know a scam when they see one.
You can't manage (or in this case, secure) what you can't measure. I know this is a tired old business saying that everyone has heard from some dorky boss, but with security it's certainly a truism. If I don't capture baseline information, monitor changes and offer all this information up as reports, how can I tell how secure my storage is?
Storage security standards. The biggie here is the Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP), which is set to be ratified by the American National Standards Institute's (ANSI) T11 working group any day now. FC-SP is kind of the FC equivalent of IPsec, a set of standard algorithms and protocols providing authentication, confidentiality, integrity checking and non-replay protection for IP packets. Granted, the first version of FC-SP has a long way to go, but you have to start somewhere. FC-SP will eventually provide ample protection for SAN-based data in flight as the standard gets baked into host bus adapters, switches and storage systems.
Security by default. Historically, configuring devices for security demanded an "opt-in" model. IT technologies were shipped in an unsecured state by default, so securing them meant extra configuration steps. Given the growing number of digital threats, the technology industry is quickly morphing to an opt-out paradigm. The best example of this change is Windows XP Service Pack 2, which turns on a firewall upon installation.
Storage won't move to an opt-out security model overnight, but you can certainly expect more security configuration and installation options. Examples of this change will consist of things like ACLs on management interfaces, forced changes to default passwords, removal of unnecessary TCP services and role-based administration. When you're configuring your brand-new storage system in October, you'll see messages like, "You have not changed the default administration password, which may present a security risk. Are you sure you want to proceed?"
Logging. Storage devices either don't log events, don't log enough events or log events in some proprietary format. As Lyndon Johnson might have said, "That dog don't hunt." Logging fits under the "you can't manage what you can't measure" category--especially when it comes to regulatory compliance and keeping the auditors happy. In other words, ever-increasing regulations move logging storage to the "gotta have" list.
Key management. This area isn't well understood by most storage people. Heck, even a lot of security folks don't understand key management and its application. I'll probably dedicate an entire column to key management in the future, so I'll spare Storage readers from a crypto-geek explanation for now, but here's a simple explanation for the burgeoning key management requirement. Key management goes hand in hand with encryption. Encryption keys can be seen as random numbers used to encrypt data--no keys, no data. Because of this, keys must be protected, backed up, rotated offsite, etc. Now suppose you have six separate storage devices (disks, tapes or appliances) that do encryption. That means you have six key management systems to operate. This means that in the event of a disaster, you have six systems that must be restored before the data is useful. Does anyone else see an operations nightmare approaching? Centralizing key management can help you avoid these issues and is why Enterprise Strategy Group advocates a proactive plan.
Assess SAN configuration and administration against FC-SP. In many shops, SAN deployment is limited to specific data centers and trusted members of the storage team, so authenticating storage devices and encrypting FC communications might be overkill. On the other hand, enterprise SANs can have hundreds of FC ports and distributed devices crossing data centers and public networks. Storage managers need to assess risks and SAN topology strategies, and then map FC-SP accordingly.
Understand the ramifications of "secure" configurations. Examine the tradeoffs between security and operational processes. For example, if storage administrators log into devices from their homes, assigning ACLs associated with internal IP addresses alone won't work. In other words, it's important to look at all existing processes, procedures and technology needs before simply locking down storage boxes.
Map storage security with compliance obligations. This is true with regard to access controls as well as logging, where log files can eat up a lot of storage. Grab the compliance auditors and determine what data they need, in what format and how often they need it. Because this is a new activity, expect several iterations before you get it right.
Approach encryption with your eyes open. Scrambling bits on backup tapes is just the tip of the iceberg. As vendors pitch encrypted storage devices, make sure you understand what they provide for key lifecycle management. Do they have Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) certification? Do they adhere to standards? Can their products be integrated into a centralized service? Upfront work here will prevent a serious operational headache down the line.
Security isn't industry rhetoric--it's serious business. Given the increased emphasis on security, every vendor is bound to have a story, so it's incumbent upon storage professionals to be knowledgeable enough to spot a phony. As you increase your knowledge, make sure to include chief information security officers or other security people with a keen eye for security smoke and mirrors.
One other note: It's one thing to offer secure products, it's a completely different thing to embrace security. Does your vendor have security included in its software development process? Are its field engineers trained in storage security? Is the company providing secure remote support? If the answer to any of these questions is "No," you should immediately find out when they will address these shortcomings. It's best to avoid equivocating vendors that lack definitive roadmaps and schedules.

PerceptiLabs' drag-and-drop interface makes ML modeling easier and faster
Seth Colaner@SethColaner	 December 6, 2019 8:55 AM
One of machine learning's promises is to help humans do things faster and more efficiently. Ironically, one of the roadblocks that keeps businesses and independent developers from capitalizing on ML's capabilities is that it can be time-consuming and difficult to build, train, and deploy models. PerceptiLabs, a two-person Swedish startup, developed a visual drag-and-drop interface to streamline and simplify the entire process.
It's designed specifically to offload some of the labor a data scientist or developer would usually have to perform, thereby accelerating the process of development. But it also has pragmatic implications for any business or organization struggling with developing ML tools, because in addition to giving a dev team a speed boost, it allows non-technical people to better understand the process and collaborate.
PerceptiLabs CEO and cofounder Martin Isaksson told VentureBeat that the tool "…Makes it easier to debug [ML models] to understand what's happening, since we have visualizations for basically everything."
Getting from there to here
PerceptiLabs started out as essentially a one-off job that Spotify asked Isaksson and his partner, Robert Lundberg, to perform. They taught the company's 25 in-house data scientists how to apply ML to all the data they were sitting on, and they helped the team create two models and push them into production. After that, they went to work on building their platform full time.
They created what was essentially a beta version, which elicited initial interest from major companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Google, but it lacked a strong user interface. So Isaksson and Lundberg collected some pre-seed money in part to create the visual user interface and improve the user experience. Over the course of a year, alpha and beta testing has helped to refine both.
Now PerceptiLabs has been through the Nvidia Inception program, scored a spot as a Google Coral partner, and has $2 million in seed money from Luminar Ventures and Brightly Ventures.
In addition to providing developers a speedier means of ML modeling, Isaksson spelled out how PerceptiLabs' platform solves other problems for businesses that are trying to use the technology.
One of them is the age-old compatibility problem. "There's so many different [machine learning] frameworks today; even if you use TensorFlow, there's different versions," he said. When all of a company's engineers build their models and push them into production, they need to all be on the same version or there will be issues. If everyone in a company uses PerceptiLabs' platform, Isaksson said, they would avoid that problem.
Isaksson gave VentureBeat a demonstration of how the platform works, showing that it's clean and simple enough for a non-developer to use. But he was quick to emphasize that this is a development tool for professionals, not just something for novices to tinker with. "Anyone can build the model, but to really understand what has been done, [and] utilize all the features that make PerceptiLabs unique — for that you need to be a data scientist and data engineer, a dev who already knows how to program a model," he wrote in an earlier email conversation.
But, he said, some of the direct feedback that PerceptiLabs has received from beta testers is that it's simple enough visually that product managers feel like they can grasp the complex models that the data scientists are creating. That's a form of transparency, and it can engender a certain peace of mind for managers who otherwise may feel like the development work is a black box.
Overall, Isaksson, noted, PerceptiLabs hopes that this platform lowers the barrier of entry for more people and companies to get involved in machine learning, which would have the dual effect of potentially pulling more people into the field to fill the currently empty empty data science jobs and also giving those people a means of doing their work more efficiently.
There are two versions of PerceptiLabs. The free version is available for anyone to download, with a getting started guide. It has all the visual elements and can run models locally — Isaksson performed the live PerceptiLabs demo for VentureBeat on a laptop while running a simultaneous video chat — but the enterprise version can run on a company's own hardware or in the cloud.
