The Dashboard Book by Wayne Moore Pdf

JAY LENO says "The Dashboard Book" is a "Good read" and "I really liked it". It is the definitive full color illustrated history of the American automobile dashboard. More than 400 color photographs and more than 160 different cars are included. The first chapters include the elegant Curved Dash Oldsmobile of 1901/07, Sears mail order Motor Buggy, Ford's Model T, air cooled Franklins, early Cadillacs, Buick's 1914 Torpedo Touring, Auburn, Duesenburg, Pierce Arrow, Essex, Hudson, Lincoln, LaSalle, Chevrolet, 1936 Cord, and my visit to Jay Leno's garage and his 1934 Airflow. The early chapters also include the evolution of dashboards from simple wooden boards of the carriage and buggy styles to development of the firewall, cowl, and instrument panels of the early 1900's to the conflicting cockpit and living room styles of the 1920's and to the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne styles of the 1930's. Later chapters include cars from the 40's 50's and 60's including models from Studebaker and the Avanti, Ford, Mercury, Lincoln,Plymouth, Dodge, Desoto, Chrysler, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Corvette, Mustang, Pontiac GTO, the Tucker, Oldsmobile, Jay Leno's Nash, Rambler, and more. An exterior photo of every car accompanies each dashboard photo and description. Throughout, the styling of dashboards is related to the styling trends of auto exteriors. Early instrumentation is also discussed as is the influence of the first affordable closed car. Brief histories and descriptions of dashboard accessories and controls like the cigar lighter, ashtrays, glove boxes, radios, a cigarette dispenser, tissue dispensers, and a glove box mini bar, and windshield wipers are also included as well as a full Works Cited and list of auto museums visited.

Jesus on the Dashboard by Lisa Murphy-Lamb Pdf

Teenage years can be complicated, even when you haven't been abandoned by your mother at age ten. It is the 1980s and teenage Gemma lives with her well-meaning father, Nathaniel, goes to 'art therapy' once a week and tries to come to terms with growing up motherless. She collects facts about her long lost mother, Angie (height, weight, eye-colour, mint lip-gloss) and develops a rare syndrome she calls PMMSM, People-Make-Me-Stupid-Mad. Then comes the strange, almost unthinkable news: Angie is back, attending church in a nearby town. She is ready to return to motherhood, and to prove it, she has adopted a Korean infant. Then an invitation: would Gemma like to stay with a family in Angie's community over the summer? Gemma, who has never had a friend in her life, suddenly finds herself living in a house full of God-fearing teenagers, and every Sunday, facing the prospect of maybe, just maybe, seeing a mother she is pretty sure she hates.

Ganesha on the Dashboard by V Raghunathan Pdf

Take the way we go about buying a new car. We identify an auspicious date and time, then proceed to break a coconut, plonk a plastic deity of Ganesha on the dashboard, and zoom off at great speed, refusing to wear our seatbelts. Supposedly educated, smart and tech-savvy, Indians can be surprisingly unscientific in their daily lives. Think of the crores spent every year remodelling homes according to vaastu, in the hope of changing luck; and the continued horrors of female infanticide, because it is only the son who can help the father’s journey to heaven... This unsparingly critical, scathingly analytical book points out the shocking lack of scientific temper among the vast majority of Indians, and how this holds us up as a nation in the twenty-first century.

Dashboard Design by Michael Burch,Marco Schmid Pdf

Interactive visualization and visual analytics tools have been designed and developed in the past and will be developed in the future as well. In each application domain in which data is measured, generated, and recorded we see a potential candidate for an interactive visualization tool with the goal to find insights and knowledge in the data. This knowledge can be found either visually by humans’ interventions or algorithmically by the machine, in the best case by applying both concepts in combination as in visual analytics. One of the easiest ways to get an interactive visualization tool running is by means of dashboards, typically implemented as webpages that can run in a web browser and are accessible online, creating some kind of web-based solution. This book describes ways to design and implement dashboards based on the programming language Python, the graphics library Plotly, and Dash. The readers can use the provided dashboard codes as a starting point and extend the functionality and features on their desire. Technical topics discussed in the book include: Design in visualization Interaction principles in information visualization User interface design Linking Python, Dash, and Plotly Coding in Python Dashboard examples with Python code.

Oracle BI Enterprise Edition Dashboard and Report Best Practices by Amy Mayer,Kevin McGinley Pdf

BI Consulting Group has developed what is recognized as the most complete, most comprehensive set of dashboard and report design “best practice†standards ever developed, specific to Oracle Business Intelligence (formerly Siebel Business Analytics). These best practices have not been created simply to provide a “standard†, instead they are based on the most important litmus test – what standards actually cause dashboards to be used, and what “best practices†of dashboard and report development provide insight into the business, rather than just reports. This guide was started with the Siebel Analytics 7.8.x platform, before Oracle acquired Siebel. The current version of the guide reflects Oracle’s 10.1.3.3.x releases of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE). Expect this guide to be enhanced and revised with subsequent major releases of OBIEE.

S3D Dashboard by Florian Weidner Pdf

Over the last decades, the interior of cars has been constantly changing. A promising, yet unexplored, modality are large stereoscopic 3D (S3D) dashboards. Replacing the traditional car dashboard with a large display and applying binocular depth cues, such a user interface (UI) could provide novel possibilities for research and industry. In this book, the author introduces a development environment for such a user interface. With it, he performed several driving simulator experiments and shows that S3D can be used across the dashboard to support menu navigation and to highlight elements without impairing driving performance. The author demonstrates that S3D has the potential to promote safe driving when used in combination with virtual agents during conditional automated driving. Further, he present results indicating that S3D navigational cues improve take-over maneuvers in conditional automated vehicles. Finally, investigating the domain of highly automated driving, he studied how users would interact with and manipulate S3D content on such dashboards and present a user-defined gesture set.
