Open-source BI tools Apache Superset, Metabase, and Redash, are gaining popularity as they are self-intuitive even for non-technical users. While many libraries focus on plotting charts and visualizations, three frameworks focus on the entire BI & Analytics suite i.e., connecting various data sources to creating dashboards using drag ' n' drop components to plotting charts. īesides these acquisitions and fundings, there has been a lot of momentum in the open-source community around BI & Analytics tools.

Some modern tools like Looker, Periscope Data, Mode, Chartio directly execute queries on warehouses. These tools extract the data from your traditional warehouses and run the queries on the local copy. All the tools in this space, Tableau, QlikView, Power BI, Cognos, Jaspersoft, etc., comes with a hefty price tag with ongoing maintenance. The Business Intelligence (BI) & Analytics space is entirely dominated by commercial vendors right now.

So I use coaching and sports as a vehicle to instill hope and to help them understand the ‘game of life.’” There are many young people who do not have positive role models and you will be amazed at how far a kid can go in life when you believe in them. “Almost every child who has played sports can remember that one coach who challenged them to be the best person they can be. ![]() As a child growing up in the inner city of Chicago being one of nine siblings raised by a single mother, sports and positive coaches changed the trajectory of my life,” said Murphy. “I believe coaching is the best form of mentorship.

Problem is, when I tried clicking the “discrimination” option on the BBB site (on the basis of discrimination vs. So I told her I’m filing a BBB complaint. Hours of my time was wasted today by ever-more-socialist paypal, culminating with a long-delayed callback from an uninformed Paypal employee. Seems like everything these days requires you to get involved with Globalist-Google! I am just as disgruntled as John Barlow & many others here. Upon research, it seems WinAuth requires entering your phone number into a Google account. You can go even further on and have the app (relative to your Paypal account) only work on that computer. You can even password the app so nobody else on your computer can use it. Not sure anyway if this was a one time luck or an updated system default feature, I figured I should try to update security settings within the 2 step verification using the WinAuth authenticator app. It just looks like my personal grief against Paypal has made them revert back finally. Well the window requesting you to enter a mobile phone number is still there but this time the button “not now” is visible so to bypass and access account. This morning for no reason I tried to login to my Paypal account. ![]() I haven’t yet had the occasion to try it out. It is rumoured that access to your Paypal account is possible at the moment you make an online purchase by opening a new window while on the transaction page. Although app is outdated and is no longer supported, it did install correctly. I was still locked out my own account.Īfter reading alejr’s comment on this thread I was curious enough to check if the WinAuth app would work with my Windows as it is. So my initial email request wasn’t read by anybody. ![]() Well the only response I got from Paypal “service” was a system automated email inviting me to login with the usual instructions as how to solve your problem. But it finally landed as a prerequisite having a mobile phone number if you wanted to access your account and was stupidly asked why I wanted to access my account. Then it was a known technical issue for all account holders without a mobile phone number and that PayPal was working on a solution to come. I was told at first it was a technical issue and that case would escalate higher up. I repeated this process 3 times to get 3 different stories. No way to contact them but phone to their customer service number (female bot voice), go through a puzzle of questions and numbers to dial in, with an half hour wait until you get in touch with somebody who won’t help you because they can’t. No warnings, no messaging to my email to advise of the coming change. And my IP phones are not considered valid. I’m locked out of my own account since I don’t have or use any cell phone. Protecting their gains and profits is PayPal’s priority, but said to be holder’s account security. Since PayPal has gone private to shareholders they lost significant amounts of money to hackers retrieving small amounts from millions of accounts. For the last 2 months I’ve been unable to access my PayPal account because of this recent PayPal scheme that’s been applied worlwide for the last 2-3 years in sort of a random manner. I get the same window requesting to provide a mobile phone number just after entering user name and password. Having said that, I will add that I love PayPal and fully appreciate the real extra layer of security and protection they provide when purchasing and paying for things online but this new phone number requirement is not cool with me at all. You should never be forced to provide a phone number or even have a phone in order to use any type of service. What if, dare I say, you didn’t have a phone (gasp!) with which to provide a number and you instead only chose to utilize email as your primary source of communication? Should you then be penalized for this and subsequently not be allowed to use PayPal’s services? I say absolutely not. In once sense, I understand how this could indeed be another added layer of “protection”, but it should not be a requirement to provide a phone number in order to be allowed to continue to use your account. It seems to be an attempt to have every single piece of personal/identifiable information about you they can in order to “protect” you. Yup. Same thing and I am not impressed one bit. One of the ultimate goals for BCIs is to enable the anthropomorphic movement of a highly dexterous prosthetic limb, or exoskeleton as an assistive device, by deciphering a patient’s brain activity in real time. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are a class of emerging technology that aim to directly bridge the brain and the outside world 1. However, most of these individuals retain the ability to produce motor function-related neural activities similar to healthy subjects, as the brain areas orchestrating movement often retain function despite some loss of peripheral motor control. Individuals who suffer from severe neuromuscular disorders or damage to the motor system, including muscular dystrophy, brain stem stroke, and spinal cord injuries, frequently lose the ability to freely move and control their muscles. Our results demonstrate the viability of human operation of prosthetic limbs using non-invasive BCI technology. Subjects were able to effectively control reaching of the robotic arm through modulation of their brain rhythms within the span of only a few training sessions and maintained the ability to control the robotic arm over multiple months. In this study, we found that a group of 13 human subjects could willingly modulate brain activity to control a robotic arm with high accuracy for performing tasks requiring multiple degrees of freedom by combination of two sequential low dimensional controls. However, controlling a robotic arm to complete reach-and-grasp tasks efficiently using non-invasive BCI has yet to be shown. Prior research using non-invasive BCI to control virtual objects, such as computer cursors and virtual helicopters, and real-world objects, such as wheelchairs and quadcopters, has demonstrated the promise of BCI technologies.

Cellular therapy with ADSC represents a novel approach to promote skeletal muscle regeneration.Īdipose-derived stem cells Crush injury Skeletal muscle regeneration Stem cell therapy Tissue engineering.Įffect of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) on satellite cell (SC) activation and differentiation. Additionally, an increase in fiber cross-sectional size and in the number of mature fibers with centralized nuclei was observed.ĪDSC transplantation into acute damaged skeletal muscle significantly improves functional muscle tissue regeneration without direct participation in muscle fiber formation. However, the ADSC-injected muscles had improved contractility in comparison with the collagen-injected controls 28 days post-transplantation. We did not observe ADSC differentiation into new muscle fibers or endothelial cells. Intramuscular transplantation of ADSC into crushed tibialis anterior muscle leads to an improved muscle regeneration with ADSC residing in the damaged area. The muscle contractility was assessed by myography in an organ bath system. Recovering muscles were analyzed for gene and protein expression by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. Mouse ADSC were isolated from subcutaneous fat tissue and transplanted with a collagen hydrogel into the crushed tibialis anterior muscle of mice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ADSC transplantation on functional skeletal muscle regeneration in an acute injury model. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) are a highly abundant source of progenitor cells that have been previously reported to support the regeneration of various muscle tissues, including striated muscles. However, extensive damage that exceeds the self-regenerative ability of the muscle can lead to irreversible fibrosis, scarring, and significant loss of function. muscle has a remarkable regenerative capacity. 7 University Clinic for Visceral Surgery and Medicine, Bauchzentrum Bern, Inselspital, CH-3010, Bern, Switzerland. 6 Department of Clinical Research, Laboratory for Visceral Surgery and Medicine, University of Bern, Murtenstrasse 35, 3008, Bern, Switzerland.5 University Clinic for Visceral Surgery and Medicine, Bauchzentrum Bern, Inselspital, CH-3010, Bern, Switzerland.4 Current address: Division of Immunology, Transplantation and Infectious Diseases, IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, Italy.3 Theodor Kocher Institute, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.2 Department of Urology, Laboratory for Tissue Engineering and Stem Cell Therapy, University Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland. ![]() 1 Department of Clinical Research, Laboratory for Visceral Surgery and Medicine, University of Bern, Murtenstrasse 35, 3008, Bern, Switzerland. ![]() Again, some hissing when they see each other is normal so don’t be alarmed. As long as they appear to be relaxed, allow them both out. Have some treats handy so they can have a pleasant experience together right away. Do not force either cat to see the other. If there is no hissing within seven days of your new cat being home, just open the door and permit the cats to explore. Don’t punish the cats for hissing or growling as that can form a negative association about the other cat, as well as you.Īllow the cats to see each other once there has been no hissing for a couple of days. Some hissing is normal during this stage. You can also swap bedding every couple of days so they can further explore each other’s scent.

"Turns out this often comes in handy not only for the sake of creating documentation, but often helps in solving a single task or issue where the underlying tech is challenging to understand," offers Eric Hartzog, a software engineer at Meta. It's important for programmers to be able to communicate their process to non-technical stakeholders, but taking notes can also be a great learning tool. Whichever language you learn, you may find it helpful to take notes or draw diagrams detailing the steps you're taking and why. With the field of technology growing exponentially each year, the internet is a great place to start when trying to explore the latest developments or discover a new skill. With a background in programming, you can get a job coding, designing software, data architecture, or creating intuitive user interfaces.īut what language should you learn? You'll find a seemingly infinite number of programming languages that are free to learn and develop projects with online.

Such marketplaces are considered hubs to allow developers to publish their apps and distribute them as well. Presently, mobile device apps are distributed through online marketplaces such as Google Play Store. However, in many cases, the attackers hide the API calls using cryptography, reflection, or dynamic code loading techniques to increase the difficulty of analysis. Looking into API component calls in the executable file may allow exploring the behavior of an app and reporting its capabilities. Additionally, it contains a set of XML elements and attributes for declaring a manifest file and accessing resources besides permissions and intents.
