Tableau public data limit12/25/2023 ![]() Remember, our brains take in and process visual information the fastest.ĭata visualization helps people understand the numbers. More often than not, they won’t go out of their way to explore the underlying data unless you explain it to them in an easy-to-digest way. On the contrary, they will most likely be people whose job is to make strategic decisions based on your insights. If you’re working at a company as part of its data team, it is highly likely that your audience would not be super technical. However, there is nothing more important than being able to interpret that data – especially for someone outside of the data science realm. And being able to gather and preprocess it allows us to implement predictive modeling, machine learning, and other amazing data science tools to drive business growth. Needless to say, data is a leading force in today’s economy. Data Visualization in Tableau: Next Steps.What Are the Types of Charts for Data Visualization in Tableau?.Before going on to explore some of the chart types you can create using the software. In this article, we’ll discuss the importance of visual analytics for decision-making, and why Tableau is the leading data viz platform. How do you even begin extracting valuable insights? Thankfully, there are powerful data visualization tools, like Tableau, that you can quickly get the hang of. Think of large spreadsheets or Python notebooks that house overwhelming amounts of information. ![]() And yet, no matter how advanced our eyes are, people can rarely make sense of raw data just by looking at it. ![]() In fact, our sight is implicated in some of the most important activities we rely on to make sense of the world around us, such as reading, measuring distance, or interpreting information on screen. Humans have biologically evolved to be visual creatures. ![]()

Stye warm compress kothmir12/25/2023 ![]() ![]() A lid margin inflammation or infection could also precede a lid lump. The blockage could be because of dust, grime or pollution. The oil prevents rapid evaporation of our tears and provides insulation for retaining the moisture on the surface of our eyes. The Meibomian oil glands are neatly arranged in rows in both the upper and lower eyelids and produce the oily layer of our normal tear film. The lump itself is a blocked eyelid oil gland. Of course various home remedies are prescribed with the naamakattichalk being the most popular. The swelling is quite benign in most circumstances and may even resolve by itself but it serves as a useful indicator for some underlying undiagnosed problems. This innocuous, mostly harmless - but sometimes painful and quite unsightly bump is known by many names - the Chalazion (kal-ey-sion in India, Shchal-ey-zion if its diagnosed in the west), Stye, Hordeolum, heat boil (even if heat has nothing to do it!), eyelid swelling. Avoid touching the eye area with the hands unless it is necessary.This is the story of the common lump on the eyelid that most of us would have suffered from or at least seen somebody with, at some point in our life. To prevent further discomfort or irritation, it is best to avoid wearing eye makeup or contact lenses until the chalazion heals. Some of these products include ointments, solutions, and medicated eye pads. These may reduce irritation or prevent infection while it heals. Over-the-counter treatmentsĪ number of over-the-counter products can help treat a chalazion or stye. Once this starts, keep the area clean and avoid touching it. Gently massage the eyelid with the fingers for several minutes, and repeat daily until the chalazion begins to drain. Then, wash the hands thoroughly to ensure they are clean. Before trying this technique, apply a warm compress according to the above instructions. Gently massaging the eyelids for several minutes each day may help the oil ducts drain more effectively. Use a clean cloth or new cotton pad for each compress - do not reuse them. Repeat this several times a day until the swelling goes down.Continue wetting the compress often to keep it warm.Apply the damp cloth or pad to the eyelid for 10–15 minutes.Soak a soft, clean cloth or cotton pad in a bowl of warm water.This helps the ducts open and drain more effectively, which can relieve irritation. ![]() These include: Warm compressesĪpplying a warm compress to the affected eye can help soften any hardened oil blocking the gland ducts. There are several safe ways to promote drainage and speed up the healing process. In the meantime, it is important to avoid squeezing or popping the chalazion, as this can increase the risk of an eye infection. Learn more about styes and their treatment.Ī chalazion usually requires very little medical treatment and tends to clear up on its own within a few weeks. They usually take around 1 week to heal, which is faster than some chalazia. However, not every stye bursts during healing. Most external hordeola increase in size for around 3 days before they burst and the pus drains.

Sto giveaways 202212/25/2023 ![]() ![]() I would imagine that most people will do what I have done and uninstall it immediately too, but I do think that there is a chance that Steel Series might do all of their giveaways this way in the future. I figured it was worth a go, installed it and got my code, uninstalled it and ran Malwarebytes and SpyBot just in case and neither found anything untoward and I did get the items it promised in game too after redemption. I do tend to agree too in that I wouldn't install anything from any unreputable companies just for freebies, but Steel Series have done quite a few giveaways for STO so that did ease my concern somewhat. I would imagine the website has more info though. I believe it is just a game client sort of thing for specific games through Steel Series (like STO and Neverwinter), but I uninstalled it quite literally after claiming my code so I can't really give any more specifics than that.

Ants in a death spiral12/25/2023 ![]() ![]() Male mice make a pheromone called darcin, after Pride and Prejudice's male hero. The ocean has a secret topography of scents.Ī snake's tongue motion creates two donut-shaped rings of air, sucking in odors from either side. Make of them what you will, then read An Immense World. I can't do it justice, so I'm going to wrap up by sharing a few things I gleaned. And they definitely have appendages and receptors we don't. They are unspeakably exotic and rather commonplace. Keep in mind that the critters discussed live not only on the planet's surface amongst us puny humans, but also underground, underwater, and in the air. While they are all mind-blowing, I feel (heh) the four "touch" chapters, which include pain, heat, contact and flow, and surface vibrations, are the most intriguing. Besides, sight is really complicated, in more ways than you know, so it gets a couple chapters to itself. If you were to write such a book, which of the senses would you lead off with? (n.b.: there are way more than five.) Despite our strong visual bias, and because we are but "leaking sacks of chemicals" and he is mostly discussing animals, Yong starts with smell and taste. "To get an idea of the shape of, imagine placing a miniature trampoline on the bottom of a goldfish bowl and turning the whole thing on its side." Pretty clear, right? (Now imagine a couple of those just behind your nostrils.) He then tells us how the arrangement works. Yong excels in placing things in contexts that readers can appreciate, and despite the challenges of describing all sorts of animal activities and anatomical parts that are beyond our ken, he's great at elucidating the unfamiliar. Unlike a few other sciencey titles I've browsed, this is no mere compendium of lists. His subtitle, "How animal senses reveal the hidden realms around us," only hints at the scope of the book. You've no doubt seen articles on how the noises of city life are making birds sing louder, or how artificial lighting adversely affects their migration. If you've read A Kansas Bestiary, you know that boreal chorus frogs hear through their front legs and regal fritillary butterflies smell with their feet. If you've read James Nestor's book Deep, you know about the sperm whale clicks that travel thousands of miles. ![]() In spite of this disadvantage, instead of being stationary creatures, they are. Army ants lack both vision and long term homes. This phenomenon spawns out of their evolutionary sensing ability. If you're a birder, you may have heard that kestrels can see the urine trails of the voles they prey on using ultraviolet-light vision. In a peculiar occurrence, army ants can often find themselves in a spiral trap until they achieve death by exhaustion. ![]() There's lots of this sort of quirky information out there. (I can't believe he missed it, but Wikipedia tells me that some treehoppers, bugs that look like thorns, even communicate with geckos this way.) Lucky for us, there are smart voices to direct our attention and help translate.Įd Yong, more writer than biologist, hooked me when he described in the introduction to An Immense World how treehopper vibrations sound like cows mooing. We might even care a bit more about little things like biodiversity and extinction. There's so much fascinating activity going on around us, we'd all walk around slack-jawed if we could witness it. The "immense world" concept is something I was aiming for when drafting the abandoned plants-and-fungi post. ![]() |
