Lysol automatic toilet cleaner8/15/2023 ![]() ![]() Still, our experts say that once you experience the performance of the Washlet, you won't go back to being a toilet paper-only household anytime soon. The device's energy-saving features will help reduce those costs, but that's another thing to think about. Keep in mind, however, that in addition to the steep up-front cost of the Washlet, it uses more energy and water. ![]() The heated seat, night light and water-temperature controls were favorites of our testers, as was the pre-mist feature that helps keep waste from sticking to the bowl. In our months-long home test, we found the feature-rich, remote-controlled unit takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, the experience is transformational, delivering a shower-fresh feeling from the toilet (though to be clear, some toilet paper is still required, if only for a spot check). When it comes to the Toto Washlet, the installation is extremely easy, taking under 30 minutes. Simply swap out your old seat for the new high-tech one. But if it's in the budget, it certainly won't disappoint.īidet seats allow you to take advantage of the best features of a smart toilet without having to replace your existing unit. Make no mistake: This is a high-end toilet that costs 10 times as much as other perfectly serviceable models in our roundup. Other creature comforts include a heated seat, warm-air drying and motion-sensor night light. The self-cleaning, stainless-steel bidet wand features adjustable water pressure and temperature control, plus the option of personalized his and her settings. We're still completing performance and usability tests, but our experts are impressed by the specs and feature set, including the toilet's dual-flush mechanism (with an ultra-low one gallon per flush option for liquid waste), one-piece design for easy cleaning and comfort-height design for easy on-and-off. "Plus, the designs are some of the sleekest we've seen." Kohler's new Innate smart toilet, released in early 2023, is a prime example. "Most people who experience the built-in cleansing bidet are quick converts," Rothman says. Smart toilets are taking over the luxury end of the market - and with good reason. As with other fixtures we evaluate - from faucets to showerheads - our recommendations include top performers in our tests and models from trusted brands with proven track records. That includes the growth of so-called smart toilets, which leverage technology to vastly improve the bathroom experience, if you’re willing to pay for the luxury.įor this update, our engineers reviewed and tested more than a dozen new models, and checked the technical data on previously tested models. “From improved water efficiency to effective self-cleaning features, our testing over the last decade has found real improvements in the toilet category,” says Rachel Rothman, chief technologist and executive technical director at the Good Housekeeping Institute. Or that it’s somehow not as comfortable as it could be.Ĭontributing to the complexity of the purchase decision, manufacturers continue to come up with new innovations for the once-humble toilet, many of which add real value. Or the way it always seems dirty, even though you just hit it with the scrub brush. Maybe it’s the weak flushing performance. ![]() We updated this article in June 2023 with current information and added newly tested top picks from Duravit, Kohler and Toto.Ĭhoosing a toilet might not seem like a major life decision - until you end up with a bum model and have to live with it every day. ![]()

Zapier airtable find8/15/2023 ![]() With a free Zapier plan, you can design Zaps with a single trigger and a single action. This is because, without a find action, Zapier doesn’t have any way of knowing which record needs to be updated. In nearly all cases, the record to be updated must have been specified by a previous Find record action. This action updates the values of specified cells in a specified Airtable record. If no records match any of the incoming data, you can also specify that a new record be created. This action searches a specified table in a specified base to see if the incoming data from the trigger app matches any of the existing records in the table. This action creates a new record in a specified table in a specified base, and populates the new record with data from the trigger app. When you select Airtable as an action app for your Zap, there are three possible actions that can be taken: There can be multiple action apps and multiple actions, but only one trigger app and one trigger. ![]() Whenever a specified event happens in the trigger app (e.g., for YouTube this might be "a video was uploaded to a specified channel", or for Tumblr this might be "I liked a post"), it triggers an action in the action app. The basic structure of a Zap is that there is a trigger app and an action app. You can learn more about the basics of integrating Airtable with other apps and services with Zapier by reading this support article. This article is specifically designed to teach you how to design Multi-Step Zaps for the purpose of creating an integration that will automate the updating of Airtable records. Zapier is a third-party service that connects Airtable to many other apps and services. ![]() If your question doesn't appear to be asked in the Community, then post a new message on the Development & APIs board (Requires signing into the community).If you are experiencing setup issues or need help troubleshooting this integration, we recommend you search threads in the Community first.While these articles are meant to serve as helpful guides for our customers, 1:1 support for integrations with 3rd party tools is limited in support interactions. ![]()

Matplotlib 3d scatter axis label8/15/2023 ![]() ![]() Tweaking a bit harder on xaxis and zaxis doesn't do anything: ax.xaxis.labelpad = 0. The following brings the yaxis (realizations) quite close to the tick labels, but not xaxis and zaxis labels: ax.xaxis.labelpad = 1 So I figure reducing those numbers should bring them closer. I want to plot them in either 2D or 3D after I run a clustering algorithm (that color codes the. import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib import ticker def setup(ax, title): '''Set up common parameters for the Axes in the example.''' only show the bottom spine ax.tmajorlocator(ticker.NullLocator()) ax.spines 'left', 'right', 'top'.setvisible(False) define tick positions ax.tmajorlocator(ticker.MultipleLoc. Basically, I have a list of tuples, each of which functions as a point (so (x, y, z) for example). I believe a similar question to this was asked before, but it didn't really clarify things for me. The following pushes the labels quite far away, as expected: ax.xaxis.labelpad = 20 Matplotlib: 3D Scatter plots not recognizing labels. Without touching the padding I have (note the zaxis label for the left plot is off the fig): ![]() I just cannot get my tick labels or axis label where I want it. I feel like I have tried everything, including answers here. I should note I am using 3D subplots, perhaps that is my issue? fig = plt.figure(figsize=(3,2))Īx = fig.add_subplot(1,2,i,projection='3d') I'm using mpl 3.4.3 and I am still having this issue. Please check out the revised documentation here. Because the spacings are determined by relative proportions in mplot3d, having a smaller space to work within forces the labels closer together.Īs for other possible avenues for work-arounds, please see the note here.Ī fair warning, this private dictionary is not intended to be a permanent solution, but rather a necessary evil until the refactor of mplot3d is complete.Īlso, v1.1.0 contains many updates to the api of mplot3d. For the next release, I would like to have 3d axes to take up more than the default axes spacing, since the default was designed to take into account that tick labels and axes labels would be outside the axes, which is not the case for mplot3d. I fixed the miscalculation of axes label angles, and I made some adjustments to the spacing. V1.1.0 contains several fixes to improve the state of things. There were also bugs in how mplot3d calculated the angle to render the labels. The reason why the various tricks that typically work in regular 2d plots don't work for 3d plots is because mplot3d was originally written up with hard-coded defaults. Syntax: ( title1, Title2, ncol 1, loc upper left ,bboxtoanchor (1, 1) ) Parameters : ncol: takes int, optional parameter the default value is 1. These can be arrays, lists, or other iterable objects.I really need to follow StackOverflow more often. We will use the () method to describe and label the elements of the graph and distinguishing different plots from the same graph. X, y (array-like): The coordinates of the data points to be plotted. Each additional parameter would correspond to an additional axis in the plot.Ĭertainly! Here are some common attributes of the scatter() function in Matplotlib along with examples: You can extend this example to include more than three parameters by generating additional data arrays and passing them as arguments to the scatter() function. ![]() We then set the title and axis labels using the set_title(), set_xlabel(), set_ylabel(), and set_zlabel() functions.įinally, we display the plot using plt.show(). We pass x, y, and z as arguments to plot the points in the three-dimensional space. The scatter() function is used to plot the scatter points with three parameters. We generate random data for three parameters x, y, and z, each consisting of 100 data points. In the example above, we use the projection='3d' parameter when creating the subplot to specify that we want to create a 3D scatter plot. Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode ![]()

Cute coloring pages for girls to color8/15/2023 ![]() ![]() Have your girls color in the illustration of their choice and then Mod Podge it onto the tray.Īllow to dry for a few hours to overnight, and you have a tray perfect for tea parties! 2. ![]() This craft is great for the above girls coloring pages because, if the tray is large enough, it uses up the whole sheet. These can make for great goodies for gift bags at a girl’s birthday party or a simple gift! 3. Put it on a tray and bake it for the amount of time given on the instructions (will vary, based on which shrink sheets you get).Īllow to cool, and then attach the keychain rings to the hole you punched. Then, you’ll cut out the figure or shape you want and punch a hole at the top for later. You’re going to print the coloring page onto the shrinking sheets and have your girls color in like usual. Keychainsįor this craft, you’ll need shrinking sheets, keychain rings and a hole punch (plus an oven), and of course, some of the above coloring pages. Iron it on or press it either way, your little girl has a cool new t-shirt, hoodie, or bag that is also homemade. Once the Cricut machine has done its magic, you can then strip the character or design off the sheet and place it on your garment of choice. You’ll print the coloring page of choice onto an iron-on vinyl sheet and then feed it into the Cricut machine to cut perfectly. You can create t-shirts, hoodies, canvas bags, or even shoe designs using my coloring pages, though you will need a Cricut machine. Then you’ll punch a hole near the top and string ribbon or yard through for the finishing touch. You’ll want to reinforce the printer paper with some posterboard or cardstock, cut to shape, and glued to the back. Then have the children color in within the outline and cut out the along the lines. If you want, you can center the shape over a cross, or a character, like Elsa. Using the illustration of your daughter’s choice, draw the outline of the bookmark directly onto the illustration – it can be any size, but a long rectangle shape is best. BookmarksĪnother craft that you can do with my girl coloring pages is making bookmarks. You can do this for multiple cases, so the girls can swap them out as they like. Let it dry completely, and put the phone into the case. You might want to do a few layers of Mod Podge for a tight and secure fit. Then, you’re going to use Mod Podge and a foam brush to “glue” the cut-out illustration into the phone case (or you can do it on the outside of the case). Have your daughter/students color in the space that has been outlined and then cut out along the outline. Get an inexpensive phone case that fits their cellphone model and center it where you’d like the illustration to go (this can also make a great gift). Let it dry for a few hours to overnight, and you have the perfect adornment for any fridge! 7. ![]() Then, once it’s dry, take your hot glue gun (or Gorilla glue, if you don’t have a hot glue gun) and affix the magnet to the bottom of the stone, i.e., the back of the little paper circle. Then, using the glass stones, trace circles around the parts of the illustration you want to make magnets out of.Ĭarefully cut out the circle and paste it, face up, using the Mod Podge, onto the bottom of the glass stone. Have the little girls color in the illustrations of their choice (I recommend the sunflowers, Toad, dolphins, or turtles). You’ll need some magnets, of course, plus clear flat-bottomed stones (which you can find at any dollar store), Mod Podge, as well as a hot glue gun (which you can also find at dollar stores!). Magnetsįor an adorable craft that only requires a few different tools of the trade, try making magnets out of my girl coloring pages. Then let their imagination take over! This is a great way to pass a rainy afternoon or a fun craft for a sleepover. Then you can glue posterboard to the back of the page (to reinforce the otherwise flimsy paper) and cut out the figures from the sheet.

Affinity designer sale 20228/14/2023 ![]() The icons have a new look and Affinity has made some usability tweaks but, if you’ve used the software before, there isn’t a big learning curve here. Your main tools palette is located on left, with inspector panels on the right. The layout is largely similar, with five “personas” split into “Photo”, the RAW “Develop”, “Export, “Liquify” and “Tone-Mapping” workspaces, which are all accessible via buttons in the top left corner. The biggest upgrade, if not the most useful, is that the whole Affinity Photo UI has got an upgrade. READ NEXT: The best photo-editing applications to buy Affinity Photo 2 review: Design and new features Last, but by no means least, if you don’t want to spend any money you could always give GIMP a try (it doesn’t cost anything), but it isn’t intuitive to use and good results aren’t as easy to achieve, either. It isn’t as powerful as either Photoshop or Affinity and, while it’s competent, you may not get on with its hand-holding approach. It would also be remiss of me not to mention Photoshop Elements, Adobe’s beginner photo-editing software which is available for a one-off cost of £90. It’s recently gone down the monthly subscription route, too, with prices starting at £8 per month or £129 for a lifetime licence.ĪCDSee is another Lightroom wannabe and pricier than Affinity at $100, but I’ve found it more fiddly than Adobe’s tools and not as powerful an editor as Affinity. However, I’ve had mixed results with it in the past, with performance issues on Windows machines in particular. Skylum’s Luminar software is more of a Lightroom-type tool, combining editing abilities with image library facilities and some snazzy AI-driven processing tools. I’ve not come across a better rival to Photoshop than Affinity as a standalone photo editor, but there are plenty on offer. It’s a lot cheaper, though, with Photoshop on its own costing £20 per month (including 20GB of cloud storage) and the Photography Plan with Lightroom and Photoshop (but only 2GB of cloud storage) costing £10 per month. ![]() It’s the photo-editing gold standard and a behemoth of an application that has been at the forefront of this particular space for decades.Īffinity can’t quite match Photoshop for the sheer breadth of tools on offer and it can’t match Photoshop’s cloud connectivity or workflow tools, either. The most obvious alternative to Affinity Photo is Photoshop. What Affinity 2 doesn’t get is the update it has been crying out for for years: an image-management tool to rival Lightroom’s Library or Adobe Bridge.Īffinity Photo 2 review: Price and competition A licence for the full suite of Affinity v2 applications – Photo, Designer and Publisher – will set you back a mere £90 across all platforms, which means you can install all three apps on Windows, Mac and iPad.Įven at full price, Affinity Photo 2 is £60 – or around three months worth of a subscription to Photoshop – so it won’t take long to pay for itself.Īnd there’s quite a selection of major new features to justify upgrading, including non-destructive RAW editing and new masking tools, not to mention a complete redesign of the user interface. You can get hold of Affinity Photo 2 itself on Mac or Windows for 40% off the usual price at £36 or the iPad version for a shockingly low £9.99. And, to be fair, it is softening the blow with a series of tempting offers.īest iPad 2023: Which Apple tablet should you choose? Still, with the original launching seven years ago, it’s perhaps a bit much to ask Serif to continue to update its image-editing software forever. READ NEXT: The best photo-editing applications to buy Affinity Photo 2 review: What you need to know It isn’t exactly the swingeing monthly subscription prices Adobe charges, but it nonetheless means owners of the original Affinity Photo won’t receive new features in future. The appeal of using Affinity over Photoshop is the low price and the fact that you don’t need to pay a monthly subscription to access the software – you pay once and you get to use the software in perpetuity.Įxcept that, cap in hand, the developer Serif is now asking users to pay up in order to access new features. ![]() New versions usually come with big new features and potentially new ways of working with images. When Affinity announced version 2 a few months back, however, I experienced mixed emotions. I’ve been using Affinity Photo on and off for a few years now, across Windows and Mac machines as well as my iPad, and I can honestly say I’d be happy using it if my work licence of Adobe Photoshop expired tomorrow. ![]()

Kite definition quadrilateral8/14/2023 ![]() Real-life Application with SolutionĪ park is shaped like a kite with 100 meters and 60 meters diagonals. Hence, the perimeter of the kite is 16 ft. A kite has two pairs of adjacent equal sides, then the length of the fourth side is 5 ft. The lengths of a kite’s three sides are three ft., 5 ft, and 3 ft.Ī. Therefore, the area of the kite is 48 cm 2. Given a kite with diagonals 8 cm and 12 cm, calculate its area. The diagonals of a kite are always equal in length.įalse a kite’s two diagonals are not the same length. Therefore, the area of the kite is 16 square units. The figure below represents a kite.Ī kite’s area is equal to half of the product of its diagonals. The vertices where the congruent sides meet are called the non-adjacent or opposite vertices. DefinitionĪ kite is a type of quadrilateral having two pairs of consecutive, non-overlapping sides that are congruent (equal in length). ![]() ![]() Moreover, one of the two diagonals (the symmetry axis) is the. The concept of kites aligns with the following Common Core Standards:Ĥ.G.A.2: Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size.ĥ.G.B.3: Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category.Ħ.G.A.1: Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing them into rectangles or decomposing them into triangles and other shapes. Every kite is orthodiagonal, meaning that its two diagonals are at right angles to each other. Kites belong to the domain of Geometry, specifically the subdomain of Quadrilaterals, which deals with studying different types of four-sided polygons. However, the complexity of problems involving kites can vary, making them relevant for students in higher grades. Kites are generally introduced to students around 4th to 6th grade as they start learning about different quadrilateral shapes and their properties. ![]() We will cover grade appropriateness, math domain, common core standards, definition, key concepts, illustrative examples, real-life applications, practice tests, and FAQs related to kites. This article is designed to give students an in-depth understanding of kites, their properties, and how they can be applied to real-life situations. How do we calculate the perimeter and area of a kite?Ī kite is a simple yet interesting quadrilateral shape often appearing in various mathematical problems and concepts.How many pairs of equal angles does a kite have?.What is the total of a kite's internal angles?.How to tell if a quadrilateral is a kite?.Want to change the area unit? Simply click on the unit name, and a drop-down list will appear. Regular polygon area formula: A = n × a² × cot(π/n) / 4.Diagonals: The longer diagonal of a kite is called the main diagonal and the shorter one is called the cross diagonal. This definition excludes squares and rhombi which have all 4 side congruent. The trapezium is also known as a trapezoid. The parallel sides of a trapezium are called bases whereas non-parallel sides of a trapezium are called legs. Quadrilateral area formula: A = e × f × sin(angle) A kite is a quadrilateral with exactly two pairs of adjacent congruent sides. Rectangle Rhombus Trapezium The trapezium is a type of quadrilateral with two of its sides parallel.Octagon area formula: A = 2 × (1 + √2) × a².Hexagon area formula: A = 3/2 × √3 × a² Quadrilaterals only have one side more than triangles, but this opens up an entire new world with a huge variety of quadrilateral types.Trapezoid area formula: A = (a + b) × h / 2. ![]() Circle sector area formula: A = r² × angle / 2.For the sake of clarity, we'll list the equations only - their images, explanations and derivations may be found in the separate paragraphs below (and also in tools dedicated to each specific shape).Īre you ready?
