![]() ![]() The new OmniGraffle 2 Pro upgrade effects offers Fill Blend and Filter effects making it possible for users to blur, pixelate, and magnify content behind a shape. ![]() The new OmniGraffle 2 iOS App also includes a professional upgrade that is available as an in-app purchase for $49 and provides support for the new Fill Effects and Filters that were recently introduced into OmniGraffle 6.1 for Mac. Besides, the developers added new language support for Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish. The Omni Group has released a new OmniGraffle 2 iOS app transforming it into a universal application, that is now capable of running on Apple’s iPad, iPhone and iPod touch devices. ![]() ![]() With the Artboard tool, you can draw any shape supported by OmniGraffle around objects on your canvas the same way you would draw shapes with the shapes tool.Ģ015. Pro users can also take advantage of artboards in OmniGraffle 7. The app previously added support for exporting your work as an SVG file, but now, you can also import SVG graphics, which means OmniGraffle can become part of whole new workflows. OmniGraffle 7 plays better with other graphics apps. When you start a new document in any graphics app and am asked to pick a size, it’s often no more than an educated guess at what my needs might be. With version 7, OmniGraffle supports an infinitely expandable canvas. Vector drawing and diagraming tool OmniGraffle for Mac gets a big update. OmniGraffle 7 plays better with other graphics apps To help with navigation, we’ve simplified the sidebar to minimize accidental clicks-just move the cursor all the way to the left.Ģ016. When presenting, the up and down arrow keys move between canvases while the left and right arrow keys move between artboards. To start a presentation, use the item in the View menu. Presenting your individual designs, isolated from your busy canvas with artboards, only show your content within each boundary shape and above it in your layer hierarchy. OmniGraffle’s Presentation Mode has always allowed you to treat each canvas like a slide to showcase them full screen-now you can present individual artboards, too. OmniGraffle 7.3 added the ability to present your artboards in Presentation Mode. OmniGraffle adds Artboards to presentation mode It’s nice that OmniGraffle is Universal because it can be handy to make quick edits on your iPhone if that’s all you have, but using OmniGraffle is a much better experience on the largest iPad screen you can afford.Ģ017. The app also brings the iOS version in line with the core functionality of the macOS version including features like artboards. On smaller iPhones or portrait mode on a Plus-sized iPhone, the panels slide up from the bottom of the screen. On an iPad or in landscape mode on a Plus-size iPhone, the panels slide in from the sides of the screen. Navigation and object inspection are handled by the new panels. It adopts the paneled design found on the Mac, which should make fans of that version feel right at home with the update. OmniGraffle released new version for iOS. OmniGraffle brings its Mac-features to iOS It's also got an extremely dedicated following among its users who share and sell collections of templates called Stencils.Ģ017. OmniGraffle is also meant for just explaining things quickly so it has tools and features to make drawing fast. You can get very elaborate and detailed, so much so that app designers can mock up in OmniGraffle how their software will look. OmniGraffle is often used for organization charts or for floor plans. The drawing and charting software OmniGraffle 3.2 has been updated for iOS 11 to take advantage of the new operating system's drag and drop features to change and improve how you work with the apps. OmniGraffle gains drag and drop for iOS 11 You can feel free to share your scripts and quick workspace improvements that Omni Automation brings to OmniGraffle.Ģ017. The release notes give all the details, but this is a big release if you’ve been working with Omni Automation. In OmniGraffle 7.5 for Mac, new automation features are introduced, a whole lot of functions and classes are improved, and a lot of bugs are vanquished.

![]() ![]() Once you begin implementing KPIs, you will have a clearer picture of which indicators are useful and which ones may need to be adjusted. Once your objectives are in place, the next step is to select the appropriate analytical and reporting tools, which are typically software programs designed specifically for your type of business. You can’t begin using KPIs until you have clearly defined strategic goals these are what will serve as the jumping-off point for deciding which indicators will be the most useful to your organization. Number of engaged leads in sales funnel.These are some examples of commonly used KPIs: Example of Sales KPIs: Opting for a smaller number of manageable KPIs per goal allows companies to make the necessary assessments and keep their workforce aligned. Since these indicators are often responsible for driving performance goals and results, it’s important to choose the correct ones for your business. You’ll find KPIs across nearly every industry and category, including sales, marketing, customer service, IT, human resources and finance. Time-bound: it’s important to set a realistic time frame based on past performance, and make sure that the team sticks to the agreed-upon deadlines.Relevant: KPIs are intended to move a business forward, so they need to be relevant to improving outcomes.Achievable: the KPI should be a realistic, achievable goal.Measurable: KPIs should include standards for measurement.Specific: define what each KPI is intended to measure, and why it is important.The best structured KPI plans include each element of what is called “SMART” criteria: The best plans use between five and seven KPIs to track and manage progress. Metrics are usually specific to a particular person or team, and frequently align with industry standards or best practices. KPIs are designed to align with business goals and targets, while metrics evaluate the performance of particular processes. Metrics are measures used to track progress and evaluate success, while KPIs are metrics tied to specific goals during a certain period of time. ![]() Although they are both designed to measure performance, KPIs and metrics have different characteristics and are used by businesses in different ways. ![]() ![]() ![]() The lens correction processing in Iridient O-Transformer uses the same high quality resampling algorithms as Iridient Developer.

![]() But it is unclear whether it should be classified as a member of the tribe Hominini, that is, a hominin, as an ancestor of Homo and Pan and a potential candidate for the CHLCA species itself, or simply a Miocene ape with some convergent anatomical similarity to many later hominins.Īrdipithecus most likely appeared after the human-chimpanzee split, some 5.5 million years ago, at a time when hybridization may still have been ongoing. Sahelanthropus tchadensis is an extinct hominine with some morphology proposed (and disputed) to be as expected of the CHLCA, and it lived some 7 million years ago – close to the time of the chimpanzee–human divergence. This would put the CHLCA split in Southeast Europe instead of Africa. No fossil has yet conclusively been identified as the CHLCA. This group represents "the human clade" and its members are called " hominins". Īll the human-related genera of tribe Hominini that arose after divergence from Pan are members of the subtribe Hominina, including the genera Homo and Australopithecus. Richard Wrangham (2001) argued that the CHLCA species was very similar to the common chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes) – so much so that it should be classified as a member of the genus Pan and be given the taxonomic name Pan prior. (Wood (2010) discussed the different views of this taxonomy.) A "chimpanzee clade" was posited by Wood and Richmond, who referred it to a tribe Panini, which was envisioned from the family Hominidae being composed of a trifurcation of subfamilies. They classified Homo and all bipedal apes in the subtribe Hominina and Pan in the subtribe Panina. ![]() Mann and Weiss (1996), proposed that the tribe Hominini should encompass Pan and Homo, grouped in separate subtribes. Gorilla now became the separated genus and was referred to the new taxon 'tribe Gorillini'. ![]() ![]() However, later evidence revealed that Pan and Homo are closer genetically than are Pan and Gorilla thus, Pan was referred to the tribe Hominini with Homo. The taxon tribe Hominini was proposed to separate humans (genus Homo) from chimpanzees ( Pan) and gorillas (genus Gorilla) on the notion that the least similar species should be separated from the other two.

The system has been amazing in many ways, but it’s still not perfect, and it definitely is no cure. It’s also extremely important to appropriately count carbohydrates, as the system does not run on AI and cannot predict your eating patterns or activity level without you explicitly telling the system what you’re about to do or are doing. Once that was adjusted, it’s been much lot smoother sailing. Turns out that mine was completely wrong when I started, and leading to a lot of lows. This is the amount your blood sugar will fall from dosing one unit of insulin. When starting the DIY hybrid closed-loop system, the most important adjustment is making sure your correction factor (CF) is appropriate. I’ve had much more success with the looping system than my old insulin pump when it comes to avoiding lows while exercising. ![]() When you are planning longer bouts of exercise (long hikes or races, for example), you can set your exercise mode to “on” for a few hours before you start (my exercise bg goal is 170), and the system will make sure you have little IOB before you begin, but that your blood sugar doesn’t soar above your target blood sugar, either. It will automatically adjust my basal rates all night long and early morning to accommodate for the dawn phenomenon I struggle with.Įxercising is also a lot easier with the DIY looping system. Since this is a hybrid closed-loop system (and not a completely closed-loop, that would be able to administer insulin for food and adjust dosing for exercise automatically), the system does best when there’s less outside interference (i.e. I’ve noticed the biggest, best improvement in my overnight blood sugar levels. Once you’re set up, you can always change these targets at any time you wish nothing is set in stone. You can also set exercise targets (I like to workout once I hit 170), pre-meal targets (mine is 80), as well as adjust basal rates for overnight and daytime, and all correction factors. Since the user builds the whole program themselves, the user can set their own target bg levels. Personalize Management and Improve Quality of Life It may be hard to find an endocrinologist who will explicitly recommend their patient trying looping, but few have explicitly advised against it. Note that this system is not FDA approved, and that’s why each individual user must build their own program (to protect against liability). All of the instructions for setup are available online, and there is even a Looped Facebook group for questions and support. I don’t code regularly, but it helps to know some of the basics for setting it up. ![]() You’ll need to buy a developer account through Apple to set up Xcode, as well as a Mac computer, iPhone, the Riley Link, and currently be on one of the compatible insulin pumps and CGM systems. Here’s what you need to know about looping, if you’re curious about this tech-savvy way to better manage your blood sugars! Setup is Hard, But Not That Hardīuilding the program takes about 3-4 hours. They have published full instructions on how you can loop too, and people are more than happy to help if needed. ![]() While the community, known as the #WeAreNotWaiting community is small, it is growing rapidly, and people are having better diabetes control than ever before as a result. ![]() DIY looping basically means hacking your insulin pump with a single-board computer, such a Raspberry Pi or Riley Link, to make it communicate with an existing continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to make basal adjustments accordingly. How is this possible? About a year ago, I started DIY “looping” with my Omnipod tubeless pump and a Dexcom G6. I’ve lived with type 1 diabetes for the past 20 years, and in that time frame, managing my diabetes has gone from manual finger pricks and twice-daily shots to checking my blood sugar on my iPhone, dosing my insulin from an app, and having my whole basal insulin program adjusted on the fly without me even thinking. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s moving into the former Estiatorio Milos space at the Cosmopolitan, which closed in 2020 and moved to the Venetian Resort.

Simply superb!Īs I read other reviews, it is well priced for what you get….approx $15 per dish x 7 =$105 for 4 people for the main, which for some may be a lot, but for foodies it is extremely well priced, plus desserts and wines. We had a pate en croute that was so tasty, celeriac with goat cheese and caviar, venison au jus (my mouth is watering thinking of it!), ….we had 7 mains between the 4 of us, sort of our own tasting menu!

![]() ![]() To keep the pricing comparison as level as possible, each of these includes the drill, a charger, one (or two) batteries and, in most cases, some kind of accessory to carry everything around.Īlong with the six drills above, here is a list of the other drills I tested, along with some context about why they didn't get the nod as best in class. You can find different bundles online and in your local big-box retailer, some with extra batteries, some with only one battery and some that are even packaged with other power tools or bare tools only. Hopefully you'll still at least have the option for the lightweight drill model.Īll of the drills I tested are brushed models that use a 12- or 18-volt battery. Soon, unless you need a smaller, lighter or less powerful tool, there will likely be no reason to choose 12-volt over 18-volt. But the price gap between 12- and 18-volt, and between brushed and brushless, continues to shrink. If you're planning on getting into more substantial work, longer use times or light construction, you're better off with an 18-volt.Īs far as price is concerned, you will typically pay more for 18- over 12-volt power tools, as well for brushless versions over brushed. If you're only assembling Ikea furniture and hanging shelves, a 12-volt drill is all you need. Otherwise, assuming this is your first cordless tool, it comes down to two main factors - performance expectation and price. That's a great reason to stick with the brand and voltage you already own, unless you specifically need different features or you're looking to switch brands. For starters, if you own other cordless tools, the best cordless drill for you is the one you could share batteries with. But for more-production-oriented work, such as putting down decking or building a garden shed, they make a noticeable difference.If you're stuck on the kind of drill to buy, the answer can be complex. For around-the-house tasks, the added speed and power are often unnecessary. The well-positioned LED can also be switched on independently of the drill, a unique feature that makes it a rudimentary flashlight (which could come in handy in nearly any crawl space). Compared with our 12-volt pick, this larger drill completes tougher jobs much faster, doing the same work in less than half the time, with a battery that lasts longer. This is a larger, 20-volt drill, but it shares all of the most important characteristics of the smaller, 12-volt DeWalt: It’s very powerful and extremely comfortable to hold and use, and the little convenience features, such as the belt hook and the case, are spot-on. If you take on projects that have you drilling lots of holes and sinking long screws, we recommend stepping up to the DeWalt DCD791D2 20V Max XR Li-Ion Brushless Compact Drill/Driver Kit. The DCD701F2 also comes with a nice belt hook, and the battery gauge is located on each battery rather than on the tool, so you can check batteries without having to insert them into the drill. And the LED is positioned so that it illuminates the drill front better than most. The battery is designed so that the drill can stand upright when not in use (other drills, like the runner-up Bosch, need to be placed on their side). The molded handle seems to account for every curve and bulge of the hand, making this drill the most comfortable we’ve ever held. The DeWalt drill’s power is on a par with that of some other models we looked at, but it particularly excels in ergonomics and convenience features. These results show the drill can handle just about anything within the four walls of a home, and even the occasional foray into more aggressive work, like a small decking repair. In our tests, it bored 30 1-inch holes through a 2-by-10 on a single battery charge. The DeWalt DCD701F2 Xtreme 12-volt drill combines power, comfort, and convenience in a way that none of the other tested drills do. ![]() |
