![]() The GnuCash project is the open source answer to the Quicken/Microsoft Money application space. The android platform is quite open, and with openness comes more freedom to do things poorly as well as more freedom to do things well. ![]() To be fair, the built-in personal information applications do sync to the cloud, and the google calendar web application is orders of magnitude faster than T-Mobile's adware-bloated "desktop interface". "It occurred to us that the best way to synchronize these various pieces of information is to let the device do it on its own while you're not looking, so you never have to think about it." Jacob Nielsen has been spelling out the requirement for automatic sync since at least as far back as May 2002, so I find it a little obnoxious that the Google engineers act like they thought it up in their Oct 2008 piece: Back it up, email it, commit it to a source code control system, or synchronize it but be wary of the promise that first machine gives you when you press "save". That brings us to another lesson I leaned from years of painful experience: using a computer to capture your knowledge is only better than paper once you've got a second copy on another machine. Your gizmo broke while you were drafting a mail message? No problem: get another Sidekick, transfer your SIM card, and presto, it syncs with the cloud and there's your draft waiting for you. This comes as something of a shock to a long-time Sidekick user, where everything you tell it is synchronized within seconds. It's missing bulk export, let alone two way synchronization with the cloud. The camera integration is great, but the only way I can see to get the data out is email, one at a time. It has fields for amount, category (transportation, restaurant, food), business name. I took pictures of all my receipts from the IETF trip using Receipt Filer Lite on the android. How should Midwest Web Sense handle travel expense accounting?

Expense reporting with Android, GnuCash, and IRS.gov ![]() ![]() In vibrissal sensory cortex layer 4, we used iGluSnFR3 to characterize distinct patterns of touch-evoked feedforward input from thalamocortical boutons and both feedforward and recurrent input onto L4 cortical neuron dendritic spines. Simultaneous imaging and electrophysiology at individual boutons in mouse visual cortex showed that iGluSnFR3 transients report single action potentials with high specificity. The resulting indicator iGluSnFR3 exhibits rapid nonsaturating activation kinetics and reports synaptic glutamate release with decreased saturation and increased specificity versus extrasynaptic signals in cultured neurons. We developed surface display constructs that improve iGluSnFR’s nanoscopic localization to postsynapses. Using a multiassay screen in bacteria, soluble protein and cultured neurons, we generated variants with improved signal-to-noise ratios and kinetics. However, existing iGluSnFR variants exhibit low in vivo signal-to-noise ratios, saturating activation kinetics and exclusion from postsynaptic densities. The fluorescent glutamate indicator iGluSnFR enables imaging of neurotransmission with genetic and molecular specificity. Thus, direct assessment of the context dependence of place cell responses requires full control and separation of sensory cues.Glutamate indicators with improved activation kinetics and localization for imaging synaptic transmission Therefore, manipulation of a local object might change not only the sensory input when the animal gets close to it but also the input at many other locations. In addition, some cues, especially visual ones, can be accessible to the animal across a wide range of locations and distances. Indeed, multiple cues, across different modalities, can usually be perceived together by animals at a given location, making it difficult to completely alter all sensory features associated with one location. Although these experiments are informative, they face the potential confound that the level of context dependence exhibited might depend on how isolated the sensory cues were from one another. In addition, place-field locations are largely remapped when animals are placed in differently shaped chambers containing the same salient cue card 9. Consistent with this, physiological recordings revealed that, in some hippocampal neurons, responses produced by local objects depend on the object's position relative to other cues 7,8. However, the hippocampus is not required in tasks where the aversive stimulus was associated only with a single cue 6. Behavioral studies have shown that the hippocampus is indispensable in contextual fear conditioning, in which animals are trained to recognize a specific context where they received an aversive stimulus 6. Several lines of evidence have suggested that sensory responses in the hippocampus might be modulated by environmental context. In rodents, the firing fields of place cells follow the rotation of visual landmarks 3,4, and, in primates, 'spatial view cells' in the hippocampus become active when the animal fixates a particular object, indicating strong visual sensory drive 5. Pyramidal cells in the hippocampus were found to selectively fire action potentials when an animal enters a specific location within the environment 2, and it was shown that sensory cues exhibit substantial influence on the firing of these neurons. It is thus important to understand to what extent the hippocampus can differentiate the same sensory cue in different contexts and how such a computation is implemented.īehavioral and physiological studies have identified the hippocampus as a critical brain area encoding space 1. In even higher areas (for example, the hippocampus), sensory responses to a given cue might be strongly modulated by the particular context, which could be beneficial for navigation by preventing confusion when similar objects occur in distinct environments. Sensory input is processed at multiple locations in the brain, with responses in early sensory systems predominantly evoked by relatively simple features of instantaneous stimuli within localized receptive fields, whereas higher sensory areas encode more complex features. ![]() Position-variant sensory cues constitute a set of landmarks that guide animals during spatial navigation.

The artistic supervisors were Rasoul Azadani (Layout), Thomas Cardone (Backgrounds),Mauro Maressa (Visual Effects), Roger Gould (Computer Graphics Imagery)and Nancy Kniep (Cleanup). Rounding out the creative team for the film, Musker & Clements hand-pickedmany of the Studio's top talents to head up specific areas of the production. The result is one of the most striking and unusual looking of Disney'sanimated films, with a style all its own that perfectly complements thefilmmakers' comedic approach to the subject. Scarfe also worked closely with art director Andy Gaskilland production stylist Sue Nichols to incorporate "Scarfisms"into almost every aspect of the production from backgrounds to effects andlayout, and also provided a bridge from Greek vase paintings to Disney animation. His bold, expressive linearstyle gave the filmmakers a fresh and unified look for the project and hisrole expanded from conceptual artist to that of an ongoing artistic advisorto the animators. Helping to make the film as visually exciting as the story itself is theinspired production design of renowned British artist Gerald Scarfe (TheLondon Sunday Times, "Pink Floyd-The Wall"), who was initiallybrought on to assist with the character design. In all, they created six new tunes for the film and Menken once again composedthe entertaining and evocative underscore which accents the story's variousmoods and emotions. The songwriters used a pastiche of styles with a gospelinfluence to bring a wonderful sense of fun and entertainment to the film. This group was later joined by screenwritersBob Shaw & Donald McEnery and Irene Mecchi, who brought additional humorand definition to the script.įor this project, the directors are reunited with eight-time Academy Award®-winningcomposer Alan Menken, who had previously worked with the team on "TheLittle Mermaid" and "Aladdin." Providing lyrics to Menken'smelodies this time around is Tony Award-winner David Zippel ("Cityof Angels"). Barry Johnson also came on board at anearly stage as head of story. During that time, art directorAndy Gaskill ("The Lion King") joined the team and began overseeingvisual development on the film. Musker & Clements began working on "Hercules" in the fallof 1993 and devoted the next nine months to writing an outline, severaltreatments and a first draft of the screenplay. Producer Alice Dewey worked with the directors as productionmanager on "Aladdin." In addition to an extensive backgroundin theater, she also served as associate producer of Disney's 1994 animatedblockbuster, "The Lion King." Kendra Haaland was the associateproducer. With their trademark brand of wacky humor, broad caricatures andstylish art direction, Musker & Clements have once again come up withan animated film that breaks the mold and delivers great entertainment inthe process. ![]() Following their directing debut in 1986with "The Great Mouse Detective," the team continued to play amajor role in the revitalization of Disney feature animation by directing,producing and writing "The Little Mermaid," (1989) and "Aladdin"(1992). Overseeing the production of "Hercules" is the distinctive anddynamic filmmaking team of John Musker and Ron Clements, who served as directors,producers and writers on the film. Helping to make this animatedfilm one of Disney's all-time best is a spectacular action-filled story,a colorful cast of characters and vocal talents, the world's finest animators,extraordinary art direction and style, great music and some exciting newtechnological innovations. Along the way, he matches wits with one of Disney'smost cunning and comical villains, a hot head named Hades who will stopat nothing to take control of the Universe. Takingan extremely irreverent and hilarious approach to the amazing adventuresof the legendary superhero, this latest animated offering from Disney followsHercules on his exciting journey from "zero to hero" as he discoverswhat it means to be a true hero and seeks to regain his rightful place amongthe gods of Mount Olympus. Brimming with humor, heroics and plenty of heart, Walt Disney Pictures'35th full-length animated feature, "Hercules," takes moviegoerson an incredible odyssey of fun, fantasy and adventure that is rooted inGreek mythology and lifts the art of animation to Olympian heights. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s the triggers that are the real hit, though, the way that they “slip” under your fingers conveying the bike’s wobbles and squirms, the loss of grip under braking, acceleration and cornering. The DualSense controller really adds to the experience, with a little more precision to the haptic feedback compared to traditional rumble. Playing on PlayStation 5, the game looks and runs great, with dynamic 4K and solid 60fps giving a crisp and clear image to go alongside impeccable performance. They’re often quite finicky to tackle, with Milestone promising the ability to let the AI take over in an update after release. Similarly, if you cut too many corners or other infractions, the game can penalise you by forcing you to take a ‘long lap’ adding an extra corner or extending one depending on the track. It’s a bit clunky and takes too long, but fits with reality. Instead of simply respawning as a ghost on track (which is still an option if you like), you now see your driver get up, dust themselves off and you then sprint over to the bike. There are some realistic nods that I do enjoy seeing, even if it’s rubbing the salt in the wound that I’ve just fallen off my bike. It doesn’t match either game through the tutorial or the R&D objectives in the career mode, which feel more like general goals rather than an effort to teach you the tracks and how best to get around them. To bring motorbike racing to more people, to make it accessible, it needs to far outclass what can be found in F1 2020’s practice session track learning objectives or Gran Turismo’s licenses. One of the first things you encounter in MotoGP 21 is the tutorial, which tries to get you up to speed with riding a bike, but it’s an area where I feel MotoGP lags behind car racing games. ![]() You really do require a deft touch on the triggers and analogue stick in order to string a good lap together, and not fall off your bike entirely. The full-blooded MotoGP bikes take that even further, feeling like you’re trying to tame a wild beast. Moto3 bikes are a relatively easy ride, if lively when pushing with reckless abandon, but Moto2 bikes step things up with a lot more throttle control needed to lay down the power and more care needed on the brakes to avoid pulling a stoppie. The bike handling retains many of the characteristics of those found in MotoGP 20, further enhanced with improved bike suspension and now factoring in brake temperatures and size choices to match the track characteristics and weather. In truth, while the MotoGP license gives the game its flavour, it’s much more about how it plays. In this one aspect alone, MotoGP 21 is a much truer representation of the 2021 season. ![]() That was felt most keenly in the world of motorsports, and while MotoGP 20 featured 22 tracks, only 9 were used in reality.
