After that, open a new project: your saved chart template will appear and be ready to use. For example, remove the background, and decrease the gap between bars. Create easy-to-read charts: To improve readability, format the chart first.Using proper chart formatting, you need to remove the extra legends, labels, borders, or grids. Get rid of junk parts: The newly inserted chart contains unwanted elements.The goal is to build reusable charts! Things to do before creating a chart template and modifying existing charts: We have said quite many times why we love this chart type. Therefore, using red, yellow, and green colors (that follow RAG reporting – red, amber, green), it’s easy to compare the actual value to a goal (plan value). The gauges (speedometers) logic is simple: it provides information about a single data point (value). It is good to know that a sparkline is not a chart object instead, it exists as a shape within a cell. In Excel, we use three types: line, column, and win/loss. With its help, you can show powerful insights. To build it, we’ll use a combination of three simple line charts to create a forecast. ![]() If the latest data point (value) exceeds the actual value, apply a green arrow elsewhere and use a red marker. What’s the secret?Ĭreate three series and use the IF function. For example, in some cases, you want to show the actual and forecasted values on the same graph. Learn more about the relationship between conditional formatting and Excel charts.

![]() We move down to the earth, specifically to Egypt in the year 1914. The movie begins with a shot of space, and a strange looking spaceship approaching earth. We will do everything we can to not give too many spoilers in this review but there are likely to be some, so please take that into consideration and read cautiously. Let’s get into this controversial, problematic, emotional rollercoaster of a film! This movie is long, with a lot of content, so we will be abbreviating more than usual for this one. On the one hand: representation! On the other hand…the way they wrote the characters was…well, rude and shortsighted to say the least. ![]() We want to put in some trigger warnings here for you all to be aware of, this film has a lot of misogynistic, sexist undertones, coercive rape, making femininity, women and Tran’s or non-binary individuals appear to be laughable, silly and “fragile”…it is a complicated film. We still have so much appreciation for the film and we still have love for the film…but holy shit were there so many odd and problematic things that, as adults, are simply too garish not to see. This movie was such a mixed bag for us to watch! It is a real trip of a film, with a lot of sexist tones to it as well as obnoxious tropes that simply do no service to the characters or the film. ![]() That is until we actually rewatched it…oh goodness. We have not watched it in years and when we decided to rewatch it and write about it for you wonderful people…we were so excited! This movie has enormous nostalgia factors for us. Here are the answers from the last few days.Oh this one, this one you guys, was a tough one for us to touch on. Sometimes, when trying to solve the Framed puzzle of the day, it can be extremely advantageous to know previous answers. If you’ve already failed today’s puzzle, or would just like to know the answer, we’ve detailed that as well. To give you a hint, we’ve included some clues that will tease the title of the movie picked as today’s puzzle. With only six guesses at your disposal, you may need a little help guessing today’s Framed answer. With each wrong guess, a new still is revealed, hopefully adding enough extra information and context for you to guess the correct movie title. Some show a fair amount of action at the start, while others will take careful analysis and decent trivia knowledge to crack. You see, Framed focuses on individual frames, or stills, of an ever-changing roster of movies. READ MORE: ‘Dead Cells’ truly is the king of the crossover. ![]() You’ll still need to work out the answer using limited information and only six tries, but it’ll be movies that you’ll be guessing. Framed is one of the newest, following in the footsteps of Wordle, but offering a slightly different twist. The last couple of years have seen a huge rise in browser-based puzzle games, tasking players with working out a certain kind of answer using limited guesses. ![]() If you thought your wrist couldn't get any more stylish, think again. The Grand Seiko watches lineup gets an update with a new must-see watch in its Elegance Collection Seiko adds an icy new GMT to its Prospex collection, and it’s one of our favorite Seiko watches yet TAG Heuer’s farewell: The Gold Carrera Glassbox Chronograph marks the end of the 60th anniversary series Raymond Weil goes square with its new Freelancer Collection watches Girard-Perregaux brings back a renewed Constant Escapement, one of its most interesting luxury watches At $8,900, this watch surely doesn’t come cheap, but you would be investing in a piece of history, as this limited edition timepiece only has 99 available. Yet, it provides versatility with both a stainless steel bracelet for a more subdued appearance and a NATO-style strap in red, white, and blue for those who prefer a conversation starter. This Tag Heuer watch is most definitely one of the more colorful watches for men on the market. This partnership may appear to be crowded, with too many brands vying for too few places in the lifeboat, but it clearly honors its historic inspiration and is systematic and sensible. Tag Heuer, Bamford, and Rowing Blazers all left their marks on this watch, making it a tag team of abilities. ![]() Now, let’s talk about these collaborators. The slightly thick case is balanced by the downward-angled lugs, making it a comfortable fit for any wrist. It’s robust, reliable, and, most importantly, precise. Under the hood, the watch is powered by the Heuer 02 automatic chronograph movement, offering precise timekeeping and an impressive 80-hour power reserve. But don’t worry, the redesigned version still has the simplicity and charm of the original with a new layer of paint, the Carrera’s DNA is still intact. The case of the Carrera has increased in size from the original 36mm to 42mm. This Carrera may not be a yacht timer in the traditional sense, but it is more than capable of coping with life’s trials thanks to its 100-meter water resistance. Rowing Blazers / Rowing Blazers The Carrera DNA is still intact This limited-edition masterpiece is a monument to the tradition and skill that went into making it. Its namesakes Tag Heuer, Bamford, and Rowing Blazers are openly displayed, evoking the classic double-signed dials of venerable companies like Cartier and Tiffany & Co. This partnership stands out thanks to the triple signature. The red, blue, and green totalizers are cross-hatched in a manner evocative of Roy Lichtenstein’s pop-art paintings and the “Ben-Day dots” used in comic books if you look closely. Rowing Blazers x Bamford TAG Heuer Carrera: A collaborative piece of artīut this watch is more complex than it seems at first. With a vibrant orange-red and yellow face, a light blue outer 1/5th-seconds track, and a pristine white dial, this timepiece is a symphony of hues. The Rowing Blazers x Bamford whimsical, slightly wacky, and utterly evocative Tag Heuer Carrera is reminiscent of the Yacht-Timer stopwatch. They contacted Tag Heuer as a group, and the outcome is spectacular. The two recruited the assistance of well-known watch aficionado and expert George Bamford.

Carlsbad is actually Rubios headquarters) where Ralph described his epiphany while at his favorite Mexican fish taco stand: “Why didn’t someone open a restaurant like this in San Diego?” He thought to himself, “Well, maybe I could do it.” Shortly after, with the help of his family, Ralph converted an old Orange Julius stand and San Diego was introduced to Baja Fish Tacos. He described how in the beginning, business was so slow that he would lay on the roof of his first restaurant and come down to make individual orders as they came in. I was able to meet Ralph Rubio at a private cooking demonstration and tasting at a Carlsbad Rubios (see IG pic HERE. Thankfully, Ralph Rubio, a then SDSU student, couldn’t leave Baja Fish Tacos in Baja after love-at-first-bite on a spring break surfing trip in Ensenada in the 1970s.

To identify each customer uniquely, we add an ID to them so that we can use this ID to connect data from various tables. Here is how the table would look like: Name The postal code would be of type integer because we need to store numbers. Similarly, the phone number would be characters again because we would need to store country code, and special characters such as '+', '()', etc. The name of a customer would be of character data type because we need to store alphabetical characters. Now that we are done with the first step, we need to define the data types of these values. We want to store some information about each of our customers such as their name, Phone Number, and Postal Code. Let's take the restaurant management application's Customers table as an example. Secondly, we want to define the type of data that would enter into a table. ![]() Firstly, we would need all the fields that we want to store in a table. To create a table, we would require two things. Using SQL relations, we can combine values from different tables to fetch the data that we require. Each table would contain a specific type of data and various tables could have different types of relations. A single database would have multiple tables that store values.įor example:- If you have a restaurant management application or implemented E-Delivery solution for smooth operations, you would have a database that contains tables such as:Įtc. One database would contain all the data for a single application (in most cases). To work with SQL, you need to understand that data is organized into tables. ![]() Now, let's get started with our cheat sheet and learn some SQL basics and SQL syntax to get the ball rolling. Once you have a database server ready, you can get access to a Query Editor where you can type all your SQL queries. Just install any of the RDBMS that you like from their official website and you should be able to create a database server by simply following their instructions. There are various RDBMS that you can use, and it doesn't matter (much) what system you choose as long as it's working for you. The RDBMS would then give you all the necessary tools to interact with your database. To get started with writing SQL on your computer, you would need to install a Database Management Server. So, let's see how we can harness this power. Using SQL, you can:Īnd tons of other cool stuff. Using SQL, you create Databases, and inside a database, you create various TABLES in which you can add all your data. Almost all companies use databases to store and retrieve data in some form or the other. SQL is a powerful programming language that allows you to communicate with the database. In this SQL Cheat Sheet, we would be looking at both SQL and MySQL, which would help clarify the difference. SQL is the language that is used to perform powerful operations on the database. MySQL provides users with the ability to create various databases, tables, stored procedures, and functions in their database servers. MySQL is a database management system that provides users with an interface to connect with databases. SQL is the language/protocol that is used by relational database management systems to allow users to manipulate data in the database. MySQL, on the other hand, is an RDBMS in which you can type SQL commands to interact with the database. However, there is a clear and vast difference between the two.Īs defined earlier, SQL is a language that allows one to communicate with the database. Most beginners usually get confused between the two terms - SQL and MySQL, and sometimes use the two interchangeably. Therefore, you would need a "language" to communicate with the database that humans and computers can understand, and that language is known as SQL. To recap, a database is a collection of data and an RDBMS is a tool that allows you to interact with your data. Now that you understand what a database is and what a DBMS is, let's understand what SQL is. Think of an RDBMS as a tool that allows you to play with your data and generate insights or value from the database. ![]() RDMBS follows some standards that allow for the fastest response from a database and make it easier for humans to interact with a database. RDBMS Stands for Relational DataBase Management System and is a collection of tools that allow users to organize, manipulate, and visualize databases. What is an RDBMS(Relational Database Management System)? For example: - An organized list of all the students of a school along with their data (Name, Phone Number, Birthday, etc.) is referred to as a database. Therefore, a database is a systematic collection of small units of information (data). For example: - Your name, number, birthday, phone number, email address, etc. Data is a collection of facts related to any object. ![]() The amount of the medications absorbed through the skin after topical use is typically low. Most of the creams, lotions, and shampoos used to treat scabies and lice are not expected to increase the chance for birth defects. There are no known risks to the person who is pregnant or to the pregnancy if lice are not treated.ĭoes taking medications to treat lice or scabies increase the chance of birth defects?Įvery pregnancy starts with a 3-5% chance of having a birth defect. MotherToBaby does not make specific recommendations for treatment talk with your healthcare provider for specific recommendations. Some prescription medications for lice are malathion, benzyl alcohol, spinosad, and ivermectin hair rinses. If over-the-counter treatments fail to kill the lice, you should see a healthcare provider about getting a prescription lice medication. There are different brands available at the drugstore, and new medicines are coming onto the market. Usually, they contain either permethrin or pyrethrin and piperonyl butoxide. Over-the-counter lice medications are usually cream rinses for hair (shampoos). Lice can be treated with either over-the-counter or prescription lice medication. There are no known risks to the person who is pregnant or to the pregnancy if scabies is not treated. If all treatments fail, medication called ivermectin may be prescribed to treat scabies. Lindane is sometimes used to treat scabies if other treatments fail. Some creams and lotions that treat scabies might include permethrin cream, benzyl benzoate, crotamiton lotion, and sulfur in petrolatum ointment. Scabies can be treated by several prescription medications. Floors, furniture, car seats and other fabric covered items should be vacuumed. ![]() If they are heat resistant, they can be soaked in hot water (at least 130 degrees) for 5-10 minutes. The person’s combs and brushes should be soaked in rubbing alcohol or a disinfectant for one hour. All clothing and bed linens that the person wore or came in contact with in the two days before treatment should be dry-cleaned or washed in HOT water and dried in high heat for at least 20 minutes, and/or removed from body contact for at least 72 hours. To prevent this from happening, the person that has lice or scabies needs to be treated as soon as possible. If someone in your household or other close contact has lice or scabies, it is possible for you to get them too. How can I lower the chance of getting lice or scabies? Scabies cannot be passed from you to the baby while you are pregnant. You can also get scabies by sharing clothes, towels, or bedding with someone who has scabies. You can get scabies by touching someone who has scabies, but usually you have to be touching for a long time (more than just a quick handshake). Your healthcare provider can tell if you have scabies by taking a scraping of the skin and looking for the mites or their eggs under a microscope. You may see a rash or raised S-shaped lines on the skin. Scabies will cause itching all over the body and it is usually most severe at night. The mites are so small they usually cannot be seen with the naked eye. ![]() Scabies is the spread of a small insect, called a mite, on the skin. Lice cannot be passed from you to the baby while you are pregnant. Lice cannot live more than 2-4 days off the human body. It may also be possible to get lice from sharing an infected person’s clothing, towels, combs, brushes, or other personal items. You can get lice by touching someone who has lice, mainly from head to head contact. Lice usually cause itching and rashes, but head lice are not known to spread disease. You can also look for the nits attached to the hair close to the scalp. You can sometimes see adult lice crawling through hair or on the scalp. Lice hatch out of eggs that are called nits. Head lice are the most common type of lice. ![]() Lice are small wingless insects, the size of a sesame seed, that can live on the body or in hair. This information should not take the place of medical care and advice from your healthcare provider. This sheet is about exposure to lice and scabies in a pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

They have bright colors and fun designs so you can pick what you like best. I love my Rec Specs glasses because they feel good and they look cool. It’s different, and new, and it might take some time to adjust to wearing them, but remember that seeing is what’s important. Three years in his rec specs glasses and he has never lost or broken a single pair –he’s kind of an expert!ġ. I interviewed Dude 3 who has been wearing glasses since his first week of kindergarten about life with glasses and how he makes them work for him. Kid to Kid: 5 Things to Know About Your First Pair of Glasses If you have a new or potential young glasses wearer, Dude 3 has some words of wisdom to share. Totally up for the kids-are-hard-on-things challenge. Rec Specs glasses are customizable so he can make them his own, and they are a protective eyewear so he (and I) can feel safe when he’s wearing them.Īnd they are so durable. While many wearers reserve their specs for when they are engaging in athletic activities, Dude 3 wears his always –because he is always engaging in athletic activities, or about to, or has the potential to. Rec Specs glasses are the perfect choice for active kids. So we looked for another option and found the perfect solution… His first pair of glasses looked pretty much exactly like mine…Īnd, after they fell off while he was running the pacer at school, he refused to wear them during recess, at gym, during sports, while playing outside, at the pool, at the lake, and pretty much anywhere else he would have to move quickly or get sweaty or engage with another kid while doing anything other than sitting at a desk. Mostly a waste of time because he’s a way more confident and awesome person than I was at his age. Afraid he wouldn’t want to wear them, or that people would make fun, or that someone would hit him in the face during a game and hurt his nose and he would want to quit playing basketball forever and ever. Afraid he’d feel self conscious or limited by his new specs. I know, it was silly and simple of me, but I was afraid. When we found out that Dude 3 was going to need glasses, of course I had all of these worries. Jeez, vanity, ruining people since basically forever. I would love to look back on me in my wire rimmed specs looking all studious and stuff. In fact, I don’t have a single photo of myself in glasses before becoming a mom. I remember being all shady about it –hiding them in the case and then only sneaking them out in my chemistry class because I had to see the formula’s my teacher was constantly writing on the board to confuse me. I got my first pair of glasses when I was 17. A young geologist from the surface, Anna, stumbled upon the D'ni civilization. The D'ni build a great city and thriving civilization in caverns.
