Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II visits Mahama
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has paid a courtesy call on the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress.
Asantehene’s visit to the office of John Dramani Mahama on Friday was ahead of a lecture the king was scheduled to deliver at the University of Professional Studies.
Former President Mahama who was joined by the National Chairman of the NDC Samuel Ofosu Ampofo and Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin to welcome his guest said the meeting was an opportunity to discuss with the Asantehene a number of critical national issues.
“Otumfuo Asantehene and I have always had a relationship underlined by mutual respect and brotherliness, and it was indeed a great honour to welcome him and his delegation,” Mr Mahama posted on his facebook wall.
National chairman of the NDC, Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo said the visit has nothing to do with the disagreement that arose from Otumfuo's speech to the United Nations that seemed to offend many in the NDC.
In that speech, the Asante King said it took the intervention of the Manhyia Palace for the loser in the last election to concede defeat and keep the peace.
The comment drew a response from Mr Mahama's Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah. Mr Ampofo said if anybody thought the spat strained the longstanding relations between the party and the King, today's visit answers them.
According to JoyNews’ Malik Daabu, the Asantehene had about 30 minutes of closed-door meeting with the former president.
Former government appointees, NDC party officials and journalists sprang to their feet when the two emerged from the immaculately decorated office. There were giggles, smiles and firm handshakes.


Hey there! I am a student. I am getting myself trained as a singer in Indian Classical Music. Along with this, I produce EDMs based on my knowledge of music, under the moniker "Digital Eagle". I also spend my time watching "Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah". I'm really a big fan of the sitcom. I even design logos and posters, write C++, play computer games (especially AOE III: TAD) and mimic the voice of Mickey Mouse.


I'm a Computer Science student studying at UCL (2017-) with a passion for networks, design and games.
My first excursion into making a bot that interacted with reddit! It was a very simple concept- scan the newest 100 comments every 10 minutes and check if comments had spelt Spider-Man without his hyphen, then reply with a comment correcting them! Comments that had already been replied to were added to a list and checked against with their unique ids to ensure that repetition didn't occur, and a running total was kept (and converted into ordinal numbers with the help of the module num2words). Overall a great experience, and not only did it introduce me to the reddit API but also to user interaction on a global scale. With the reach of reddit being very great, my bot ended up meeting someone who was offended by it and eventually this got it banned from the sub. Github Link
My second bot, which was a look at how to handle large files. My bot detects mentions by username (to avoid getting banned like my first bot) and takes the number in the comment as the index for the quote in Spider-Man(2002). To create this, I had to obtain a caption file for Spider-Man and convert it to a readable list. As our function had to be run multiple times, I foiund a module called pickle that let me store lists in such a way that it was easily readible by python files. Github Link

Apple’s Newest Holiday Video Will Make You Cry
by Andrew OrrApple’s newest holiday video is a real tearjerker. A family goes to grandpa’s house for the holidays, and during the trip the parents give the kids an iPad as a way to keep them occupied. When they get to grandpa’s house, it’s a somber atmosphere. We learn that grandma is no longer with them, but the two girls make something special with the iPad as a present. The song is Married Life by Michael Giacchino, from the Up movie.

A factory which creates a resource object that lets you interact with RESTful server-side data sources.
The returned resource object has action methods which provide high-level behaviors without
the need to interact with the low level $http
service.
$resource(url[, paramDefaults][, actions]);
url – {string} –
A parameterized URL template with parameters prefixed by :
as in
/user/:username
.
paramDefaults(optional) – {Object=} –
Default values for url
parameters. These can be overridden in
actions
methods.
Each key value in the parameter object is first bound to url template if present and then any
excess keys are appended to the url search query after the ?
.
Given a template /path/:verb
and parameter {verb:'greet', salutation:'Hello'}
results in
URL /path/greet?salutation=Hello
.
If the parameter value is prefixed with @
then the value of that parameter is extracted from
the data object (useful for non-GET operations).
actions(optional) – {Object.<Object>=} –
Hash with declaration of custom action that should extend the default set of resource actions. The declaration should be created in the following format:
{action1: {method:?, params:?, isArray:?},
action2: {method:?, params:?, isArray:?},
...}
Where:
action
– {string} – The name of action. This name becomes the name of the method on your
resource object.method
– {string} – HTTP request method. Valid methods are: GET
, POST
, PUT
, DELETE
,
and JSONP
params
– {object=} – Optional set of pre-bound parameters for this action.returns
section.{Object}
– A resource "class" object with methods for the default set of resource actions
optionally extended with custom actions
. The default set contains these actions:
{ 'get': {method:'GET'},
'save': {method:'POST'},
'query': {method:'GET', isArray:true},
'remove': {method:'DELETE'},
'delete': {method:'DELETE'} };
Calling these methods invoke an angular.module.ng.$http
with the specified http method,
destination and parameters. When the data is returned from the server then the object is an
instance of the resource class save
, remove
and delete
actions are available on it as
methods with the $
prefix. This allows you to easily perform CRUD operations (create, read,
update, delete) on server-side data like this:
var User = $resource('/user/:userId', {userId:'@id'}); var user = User.get({userId:123}, function() { user.abc = true; user.$save(); });
It is important to realize that invoking a $resource object method immediately returns an
empty reference (object or array depending on isArray
). Once the data is returned from the
server the existing reference is populated with the actual data. This is a useful trick since
usually the resource is assigned to a model which is then rendered by the view. Having an empty
object results in no rendering, once the data arrives from the server then the object is
populated with the data and the view automatically re-renders itself showing the new data. This
means that in most case one never has to write a callback function for the action methods.
The action methods on the class object or instance object can be invoked with the following parameters:
Resource.action([parameters], [success], [error])
Resource.action([parameters], postData, [success], [error])
instance.$action([parameters], [success], [error])
// Define CreditCard class var CreditCard = $resource('/user/:userId/card/:cardId', {userId:123, cardId:'@id'}, { charge: {method:'POST', params:{charge:true}} }); // We can retrieve a collection from the server var cards = CreditCard.query(function() { // GET: /user/123/card // server returns: [ {id:456, number:'1234', name:'Smith'} ]; var card = cards[0]; // each item is an instance of CreditCard expect(card instanceof CreditCard).toEqual(true); card.name = "J. Smith"; // non GET methods are mapped onto the instances card.$save(); // POST: /user/123/card/456 {id:456, number:'1234', name:'J. Smith'} // server returns: {id:456, number:'1234', name: 'J. Smith'}; // our custom method is mapped as well. card.$charge({amount:9.99}); // POST: /user/123/card/456?amount=9.99&charge=true {id:456, number:'1234', name:'J. Smith'} }); // we can create an instance as well var newCard = new CreditCard({number:'0123'}); newCard.name = "Mike Smith"; newCard.$save(); // POST: /user/123/card {number:'0123', name:'Mike Smith'} // server returns: {id:789, number:'01234', name: 'Mike Smith'}; expect(newCard.id).toEqual(789);
The object returned from this function execution is a resource "class" which has "static" method for each action in the definition.
Calling these methods invoke $http
on the url
template with the given method
and params
.
When the data is returned from the server then the object is an instance of the resource type and
all of the non-GET methods are available with $
prefix. This allows you to easily support CRUD
operations (create, read, update, delete) on server-side data.
var User = $resource('/user/:userId', {userId:'@id'}); var user = User.get({userId:123}, function() { user.abc = true; user.$save(); });
It's worth noting that the success callback for `get`, `query` and other method gets passed
in the response that came from the server as well as $http header getter function, so one
could rewrite the above example and get access to http headers as:
var User = $resource('/user/:userId', {userId:'@id'}); User.get({userId:123}, function(u, getResponseHeaders){ u.abc = true; u.$save(function(u, putResponseHeaders) { //u => saved user object //putResponseHeaders => $http header getter }); });
Let's look at what a buzz client created with the $resource
service looks like:

 <input ng-model="userId"/> <button ng-click="fetch()">fetch</button>

Stereotype Threat
December 6, 2014
Stereotype threat is a phenomenon in which the threat of being viewed through the lens of a negative stereotype or the fear of doing something that would confirm that stereotype, negatively affects one's performance. The term was first coined by Steele and Aronson (1995), who demonstrated that when race was emphasized, black students performed more poorly on standardized tests compared to white students. When race was not emphasized, black students performed better and equivalently with white students. Anxiety about being judged and affirming a negative stereotype can seriously hinder performance on the task at hand. Any individual can suffer from stereotype threat when the situation invokes a stereotype-based expectation of poor performance.
Reducing stereotype threat is thus important because it allow individuals to reach their full potential. One method for reducing stereotype threat is to reframe the task and use different language. Since sterotype threat arises in situations where task descriptions highlight social identities stereotypically associated with poor performance, reframing the issue in neutral terms can eliminate stereotype threat. Another method is to allow people to affirm their self-worth by thinking about their characteristics and roles they value as important. Doing so has been shown to reduce performance differences.
When giving critical feedback on tasks that may involve potential stereotypes, another method is to communicate the high standards for performance but also assure the receiver that they are capable of meething those standards. Feedback that does this helps reduce perceived evaluator bias and thus sterotype threat.
It is also worth noting that a fixed view of intelligence (intelligence is set and cannot be improved) versus a growth view of intelligence (intelligence can be gained and honed over time) can affect the strength of stereotype threat on individuals. Research has shown that those with a fixed mindset are more susceptible to sterotype threat than those with a growth mindset. Individuals with a growth mindset tend to act more positively to challenges and are less likely to fear confirming negative sterotypes. Thus emphasizing a growth view of intelligence and ability can reduce sterotype threat.

I researched quite a bit about salvia before taking it, so I thought I was ready for the effects. Well the first time I smoked it, nothing happend. The 2nd time I smoked it (30min after the 1st) it felt like I was becoming the couch I was sitting in. That lasted for about 2 minutes, during that time I was telling my sitter 'look man, im melting into the couch' he didnt know what to say. The third time I smoked it was prolly 30min after the 2nd time.  I then saw an entire story in my head. Its hard to explain exactly what I saw, but a lot of stuff was goin on, and it was goin on very fast. Well I took a nice rest, still not satisfied with my purchase. I smoked some bowls of weed, chilled out a bit, then called up my friend so we can do it together. He came over and we sat on my front porch.
It was about 2hrs ago, 3am, we were outside, I sparked up my 4th salvia bowl. After my second hit off the pipe, I was gone. IT HIT ME LIKE A TRAIN. I started laughing the hardest I have ever laughed b4 in my life and I couldnt stop. I was crying from all the laughter, but I was still in touch with reality cuz I was looking over at my friend and I motion to him 'WTF' I couldnt believe what was goin on. Why couldnt I control myself. During the laughing period I found myself putting my head down and staring at my shadow. I thought my shadow was a different person and that instead of just being me and my friend on the porch, it was me, my friend and my shadow. At that point I snapped out of my trance, and sat there in shock. I now am satisfied with my purchase, and I now respect lady salvia, whatta trip.

Note
This memo documents a part of TinyOS for the TinyOS Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. This memo is in full compliance with TEP 1.
This TEP covers the primitives addressed by the link layer and the architecture for composing services at the link layer
TinyOS now has platforms with bit/byte/packet level interfaces. Link layers must be written to expose a common interface to the radio, provide feedback from the physical layer to services, but still expose critical information (data, timing, power) in an independent manner. This TEP proposes the HPL and HIL components of the link protocol stack. While a description of the HAL is provided, its implementation and composition will vary widely from radio to radio.
Implementation: platform dependent
Presentation: radio dependent (common HPL for same radio)
Mostly stateless, but may need to include some state to address race conditions in event-driven operations and buffer swapping
- HPL for control:
- Chipcon CC1000 register-based radios: - read/write registers - interrupts and timer capture events (general I/O)
- Chipcon CC2420 buffer-based radios: - read/write registers - read/write RAM - interrupts and timer capture events (general I/O)
interface HPLCC2420 { async command uint8_t cmd(uint8_t addr); async command uint8_t write(uint8_t addr, uint16_t data); async command uint16_t read(uint8_t addr); } // a subset of the capture provided by the hardware interface HPLCC2420Capture { async command result_t enableCapture(bool low_to_high); async event result_t captured(uint16_t val); async command result_t disable(); }
- HPL for data
- Chipcon CC1000 register-based radios: - read/write byte
- Chipcon CC2420 buffer-based radios: - read/write 128-byte FIFO
interface HPLCC2420FIFO { async command cc2420_result_t readRXFIFO(uint8_t length, uint8_t *data); async command cc2420_result_t writeTXFIFO(uint8_t length, uint8_t *data); async event result_t RXFIFODone(uint8_t length, uint8_t *data, cc2420_result_t success); async event result_t TXFIFODone(uint8_t length, uint8_t *data, cc2420_result_t success); }The HPL interfaces reside in the radio's "chips" directory while the underlying HPL implementations (*C, *M) reside in a microcontroller or platform directory.
Implementation: microcontroller independent, radio dependent
Presentation: radio dependent
The HAL may be broken into a number of parts that communicate with each other. As we approach the radio's interface (whether it be bit, byte, or packet), translations may occur on the data--coding, cryptography etc. (see Figure 2 of RadioActive networks paper)
This PHY/MAC split currently exists in TinyOS with portions of the Mica high speed radio stack. (see tinyos-1.x/doc) Note that the Mica high speed radio stack provides a horizontal component as well for CSMA. The same may exist for security (ie: perform a translation on this packet for encryption).
The "MAC" is a separate configurable component that includes the interfaces exposed to the AM/Comm layers. The PHY/MAC do not do any packet filtering (including CRC).
The "MAC" provides the typical send and receive packet interfaces. Additionally, the MAC provides control interfaces similar to B-MAC, including the ability to turn on or off CSMA, acks, and low power listening:
interface CSMAControl { async command result_t enableCCA(); async command result_t disableCCA(); async command result_t enableAck(); async command result_t disableAck(); async command TOSMsg* HaltTx(); }The units of the CSMA Backoff are SYMBOL PERIODS of the radio. See the RadioControl interface below to convert symbol periods into normal time units:
interface CSMABackoff { async event int16_t initial(TOSMsg* m); async event int16_t congestion(TOSMsg* m); }Low Power Listening provides additional challenges as the notation used for LPL changes from radio to radio. On an RFM, bit based radio, LPL has no notion of long preambles. On the CC1000, a long preamble is used for LPL. On the CC2420, cyclical packets must be used for LPL (due to the HW constraints, long preambles are not an option). A proposal:
interface LowPowerListening { async command result_t SetMode(lpl_mode_t mode); async command lpl_mode_t GetMode(); async command result_t SetListeningMode(lpl_mode_t mode); async command lpl_mode_t GetListeningMode(); async command result_t SetTransmitMode(lpl_mode_t mode); async command lpl_mode_t GetTransmitMode(); }The lpl_mode_t values are mapped by the specific radio implementation to identical idle listening cost across platforms (cost when there is no traffic on the channel). The TX cost may be higher, and must be documented as to its value on each radio.
Additional HAL-level interface for Low Power Listening in a radio dependent manner:
interface CC1000LowPowerListening { async command result_t SetPreambleLength(uint16_t bytes); async command uint16_t GetPreambleLength(); async command result_t SetCheckInterval(uint16_t ms); async command uint16_t GetCheckInterval(); }The "mode" options provide a level of abstraction above the CC1000 specific preamble-length and check-interface functions. A generic mode setting interface may be provided separately from the radio specific parameters that may be set.
Support for Time Synchronization services Currently we have RadioCoordinator, put in place by UCLA and Kamin Whitehouse. RadioCoordinator is renamed into an HIL interface called RadioTimeStamping. It provides the time that an event occurred and the message buffer being received at that start of frame delimiter. The time value is always a 32768Hz 16-bit value . CC1000RadioTimeStamping is an example of an expanded time HAL interface specific to the CC1000 radio:
interface RadioTimeStamping { async event void SFD(uint16_t time, TOSMsg* msgBuff); }Each platform may be able to provide more information than just the SFD timestamp. These platforms will have their own HAL interfaces with additional time information:
interface CC1000RadioTimeStamping { async event void startSymbol(uint8_t bitsPerBlock, uint8_t offset, TOSMsg* msgBuff); async event void byte(TOSMsg* msg, uint8_t byteCount); async event void blockTimer(); }The 16-bit "time" field of TOSMsg is the 16-bit 32768Hz timer value corresponding to the SFD event. Upper layers are responsible for expanding the 16-bit 32768Hz value into a larger 32-bit or 64-bit value for higher level services.
Being able to control the radio independent of the underlying hardware is extremely important for cross-platform applications. In the RadioControl interface, we export a new notion of "TinyOS channels". Each "TinyOS channel" is non-overlapping and the maximum number of available channels on a platform are available through a command. Likewise, output RF power is determined by a virtual scale from 0 to 255, where 0 is the radio's minimum output power and 255 is the radio's maximum output power. Simple conversion functions allow the user to convert dB values into the virtual scale and vice versa. Radio timing information, such as bit, byte, and symbol times are provided through the RadioControl interface. See the RadioControl interface defintion in tinyos-2.x/tos/interfaces:
interface RadioControl { command result_t SetRFChannel(uint8_t channel); command uint8_t GetRFChannel(); command uint8_t GetMaxChannels(); command result_t SetRFPower(uint8_t power); command uint8_t GetRFPower(); command uint8_t RFtoDB(uint8_t power); command uint8_t DBtoRF(int8_t dbm); command uint16_t getTimeBit(); command uint16_t getTimeByte(); command uint16_t getTimeSymbol(); }The TOSMsg structure is created such that each radio implementation may define its own header, footer, and metadata. Since each radio's layout will be distinct, common fields must be exposed through a unified interface, known as RadioPacket. Platform indpendent services use RadioPacket to access common message fields; whereas platform dependent services directly access the TOSMsg fields as defined by that radio implementation:
interface RadioPacket { command uint8_t getLength(TOSMsg* msg); command result_t setLength(TOSMsg* msg, uint8_t length); command uint8_t* getData(TOSMsg* msg); command uint16_t getAddress(TOSMsg* msg); command result_t setAddress(TOSMsg* msg, uint16_t addr); command uint16_t getGroup(TOSMsg* msg); command result_t setGroup(TOSMsg* msg, uint16_t group); command uint16_t getTime(TOSMsg* msg); command bool isAck(TOSMsg* msg); }The radio interfaces come together in the new RadioC module. The interfaces described below are required by every RadioC module. RadioC, for CSMA radios, is built above another configuration called CSMARadioC to differentiate it from non-CSMA radios. For most operations, users will wire to CSMARadioC; however RadioC provides a more general fallback for cross-platform application development. The configurations look like the following, such as in tos/chips/CC2420:
configuration RadioC { provides { // split phase startup and shutdown of the radio interface SplitControl; // change frequency, power, etc. interface RadioControl; // send a message interface Send; // receive a message interface Receive; } } implementation { components CSMARadioC as CC2420RadioC; SplitControl = CC2420RadioC; RadioControl = CC2420RadioC; Send = CC2420RadioC; Receive = CC2420RadioC; }Then, if the radio supports CSMA, it also provides a CSMARadioC configuration. Services wire to RadioC to be radio-agnostic, and CSMARadioC if they wish to use the CSMA control functionality but restrict their service's portability to CSMA radios:
configuration CSMARadioC { provides { // split phase startup and shutdown of the radio interface SplitControl; // change frequency, power, etc. interface RadioControl; // send a message interface Send; // receive a message interface ReceiveMsg as Receive; // enable/disable csma, acks interface CSMAControl; // change the backoff on a per-packet basis interface CSMABackoff; // duty cycle the radio with preamble sampling interface LowPowerListening; } } implementation { components CC2420RadioM ... }
Address interrupts and timer captures in a hardware-independent manner. Allows elimination of HPLCC2420Capture and HPLCC2420Interrupt interfaces.


For nearly six years, in Room 217 of the Lakes Region Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, Brady Hartsfield has been in a persistent vegetative state. A complete recovery seems unlikely for the insane perpatrator of the "Mercedes Massacre", in which eight people were killed and many more maimed for life. But behind the vacant stare, Brady is very much awake and aware, having been pumped full of experimental drugs ... scheming, biding his time as he trains himself to take full advantage of the deadly new powers that allow him to wreak unimaginable havoc without ever leaving his hospital room. Brady Hartsfield is about to embark on a new reign of terror against thousands of innocents, hell-bent on taking revenge against anyone who crossed his path - with retired detective Bill Hodges at the very top of that long list ...

Insertion and extraction still do not fit seamlessly into the iostream framework. The inserters and extractors for built-in types can be controlled through formatting flags that our operators thus far ignore. Our operators don't observe a field width while inserting, or skip whitespaces while extracting, and so on.
They don't care about error indication either. So what if the extracted date is February 31? So what if the insertion fails because the underlying buffer can't access the external device for some obscure reason? So what if a facet throws an exception? We should certainly set some state bits in the respective stream's state and throw or rethrow exceptions, if the exception mask says so.
However, the more general question here is: What are inserters and extractors supposed to do? Some recommendations follow.
Regarding format flags, inserters and extractors should:
Create a sentry object right at the beginning of every inserter and extractor. In its constructor and destructor, the sentry performs certain standard tasks, like skipping white characters, flushing tied streams, etc. See the Apache C++ Standard Library Reference Guide for a detailed explanation.
Reset the width after each usage.
Regarding state bits, inserters and extractors should:
Set badbit for all problems with the stream buffer.
Set failbit if the formatting or parsing itself fails.
Set eofbit when the end of the input sequence is reached.
Regarding the exception mask, inserters and extractors should:
Use the setstate() member function for setting the stream's error state. It automatically throws the std::ios_base::failure exception according to the exceptions switch in the stream's exception mask.
Catch exceptions thrown during the parsing or formatting, set failbit or badbit, and rethrow the original exception.
Regarding locales, inserters and extractors should:
Use the stream's locale, not the stream buffer's locale. The stream buffer's locale is supposed to be used solely for code conversion.
Regarding the stream buffer:
If you use a sentry object in your extractor or inserter, you should not call any functions from the formatting layer. This might cause a deadlock in a thread-safe library, since the sentry object locks the stream buffer associated with the stream object through the stream buffer's mutex (mutually exclusive lock). A nested call to one of the stream's member functions would again create a sentry object, which would wait for the same mutually exclusive lock and, voilà, you have deadlock. Use the stream buffer's functions instead. They do not use the mutex, and are more efficient anyway.
NOTE -- Do not call the stream's input or output functions after creating a sentry object in your inserter or extractor. Use the stream buffer's functions instead.
Let us now go back and apply the recommendations to the extractor and inserter for class date in the example we are constructing. Here is an improved version of the extractor:
template<class charT, class Traits> std::basic_istream<charT, Traits>& operator >> (std::basic_istream<charT, Traits >& is, date& dat) { std::ios_base::iostate err = 0; //1 try { //2 typename std::basic_istream<charT, Traits>::sentry ipfx(is); //3 if(ipfx) { //4 std::use_facet<std::time_get<charT,Traits> > (is.getloc()) .get_date(is, std::istreambuf_iterator<charT,Traits>(), is, err, &dat.tm_date); //5 if (!dat) err |= std::ios_base::failbit; //6 } } catch(...) { //7 bool flag = false; try { is.setstate(std::ios_base::failbit); //8 } catch(...) { flag = true; //9 } if (flag) throw; //10 } if (err) is.setstate(err); //11 return is; }
| //1 | The variable err keeps track of errors as they occur. In this example, it is handed over to the time_get facet, which sets the respective state bits. |
| //2 | All operations inside an extractor or inserter should be inside a try-block, so that the respective error states could be set correctly before the exception is actually thrown. |
| //3 | Here we define the sentry object that does all the preliminary work, like skipping leading white spaces. |
| //4 | We check whether the preliminaries were done successfully. Class sentry defines a conversion to bool that returns true if the sentry constructor completed successfully, and false otherwise. |
| //5 | This is the call to the time parsing facet of the stream's locale, as in the primitive version of the extractor. |
| //6 | Let's assume our date class allows us to check whether the date is semantically valid; for example, it would detect wrong dates like February 30. Extracting an invalid date should be treated as a failure, so we set the failbit. |
| //7 | Note that in this case it is not advisable to set the failbit through the stream's setstate() function, because setstate() also raises exceptions if they are switched on in the stream's exception mask. We don't want to throw an exception at this point, so we add the failbit to the state variable err. |
| //8 | Here we catch all exceptions that might have been thrown so far. The intent is to set the stream's error state before the exception terminates the extractor, and to rethrow the original exception. |
| //9 | Now we eventually set the stream's error state through its setstate() function. This call might throw an std::ios_base::failure exception according to the stream's exception mask. |
| //10 | We catch this exception because we want the original exception thrown rather than the ios_base::failure in all cases. |
| //11 | We rethrow the original exception. If there was no exception raised so far, we set the stream's error state through its setstate() function. |
The inserter is implemented using the same pattern:
template<class charT, class Traits> std::basic_ostream<charT, Traits>& operator << (std::basic_ostream<charT, Traits >& os, const date& dat) { std::ios_base::iostate err = 0; try { typename std::basic_ostream<charT, Traits>::sentry opfx(os); if(opfx) { const char patt[3] = "%x"; charT fmt[3]; std::use_facet<std::ctype<charT> >(os.getloc()) .widen(patt, patt+2, fmt); //1 typedef std::time_put<charT, ostreambuf_iterator<charT,Traits> > time_put; if (std::use_facet<time_put>(os.getloc()) .put(os,os,os.fill(),&dat.tm_date,fmt,(fmt+2)) //2 .failed()) //3 err = std::ios_base::badbit; //4 os.width(0); //5 } } catch(...) { bool flag = false; try { os.setstate(std::ios_base::failbit); } catch(...) { flag = true; } if (flag) throw; } if (err) os.setstate(err); return os; }
The inserter and the extractor have only a few minor differences:
| //1 | We prefer to use the other put() function of the locale's time_put facet. It is more flexible and allows us to specify a sequence of format specifiers instead of just one. We declare a character array that contains the sequence of format specifiers and widen it to wide characters, if necessary. |
| //2 | Here we provide the format specifiers to the time_put facet's put() function. |
| //3 | The put() function returns an iterator pointing immediately after the last character produced. We check the success of the previous output by calling the streambuf iterator's failed() function. |
| //4 | If the output failed then the stream is presumably broken, and we set badbit. |
| //5 | Here we reset the field width, because the facet's put() function uses the stream's format settings and adjusts the output according to the respective field width. The rule is that the field width shall be reset after each usage. |
Why is it seemingly so complicated to implement an inserter or extractor? Why doesn't the first simple approach suffice?
The simple extractors and inserters in our first approach do suffice in many cases, when the user-defined type consists mostly of data members of built-in types, and runtime efficiency or atomicity of output is not a great concern.
Working directly with the stream buffer may be necessary:
To improve runtime speed
To guarantee atomic operations on a stream which may be shared among threads
In these cases, you use fast, low-level services. You must decide whether or not to add format control, error handling, and so on, depending on the needs of your application. If you need these capabilities, you must provide them yourself. You must provide a sentry, and be careful to avoid deadlock by only calling functions on the stream buffer itself.
Working with the stream buffer directly need not be as complicated as it seems. The next section contains patterns that provide outlines for you to fill in. The patterns include error-handling, and guarantee atomicity thanks to the single sentry object they create.

chinet
|
chinet is a C++ library to create optimize, sample, and archive global models. A global model is a model, that unites multiple data-sets and seeks for a joint description of the united dataset.
Global models can unite datasets of the same kind or datasets of different types. A typical examples of a global model in fluorescence experiments is the joint description of multiple fluorescence correlation curves in a titration and the joint description of multiple fluorescence decay curves reporting on FRET in a biomolecular structure by a single structural model.
Computing a gobal model with a large diverse set of different data can be computationally expensive. To reduce the computational costs and to decrease the evaluation time of a global model defined by chinet, the mutual dependencies of the model parameters are modeled by a graph structure that connects "computing nodes". When a a set of parameters is changed only computing nodes that are affected by these changes are evaluated. Independent nodes are evaluated in parallel.
The state of the evaluation graph can be written to a database for documentation purposes and reconstructed using unique identifies provided by the database.
chinet is NOT intended as ready-to-use software for specific application purposes.
Generation of fluorescence decay histograms chinet outperforms pure numpy and Python based libraries by a factor of ~40
Pure pure C/C++ and CUDA based high performance algorithms for real-time and interactive analysis of TTTR data.
The C++ shared library can be installed from source with cmake:
On Linux you can build and install a package instead (prefered):
The Python bindings can be either be installed by downloading and compiling the source code or by using a precompiled distribution for Python anaconda environment.
The following commands can be used to download and compile the source code:
In an anaconda environment the library can be installed by the following command:
For most users the later approach is recommended. Currently, pre-compiled packages for the anaconda distribution system are available for:
Legacy 32-bit platforms are not supported.
chinet is released under the open source MIT license.


Kogi, Bayelsa elections: PDP accuses Buhari, APC of truncating Nigeria's democracy
- PDP has finally reviewed Bayelsa, Kogi elections
- The party accused Buhari-led government of truncating Nigeria's democracy
- Kola Ologbondiyan, the party's spokesman, in a statement on Saturday, November 23, accused INEC of colluding with APC to rig the elections in the two states
After its review of the governorship elections held in Bayelsa and Kogi states on Saturday, November 16, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government and the All Progressives Congress (APC) did not want democracy to thrive in the country.
Legit.ng reports that a statement issued by by the PDP national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Saturday, November 23, indicated that the party said it rejected the results bandied by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the elections.
He said the party also rejected the proposed Kogi West senatorial rerun election, which according to him, has already been desecrated by the manipulations in the main election.
This is why Oshiomhole must resign - Aggrieved APC members explain
The statement read: "As long as the figures in the main election are fundamentally flawed, the proposed rerun cannot reflect the wishes of the electorate and Nigerians are wondering if it will make any sense to participate in an electoral process that is already deficient.
"Nigerians across board have completely lost faith in the nation’s electoral process given that Independent National Electoral Commission under Prof. Mahmood Yakubu has been annexed and cannot conduct any free, fair and credible election. For us in the PDP and, we believe, to majority of Nigerians as well, Professor Yakubu is the worst electoral umpire in the political history of our nation."
The party alleged that the police and the military high commands have been reduced to tools of election brutality to ensure that votes do not count.
"More distressing is the fact that Nigerians, particularly our members and supporters in Kogi and Bayelsa states, are still in trauma over the murderous November 16 elections. A lot of our people have been killed and our members are still grieving.
Bayelsa election: Dickson’s lack of regard for ex-president Jonathan caused PDP’s loss - Umar Sani
"It is public knowledge that all accredited local and international observers, including the civil society situation room, have declared that the elections did not meet the minimum standard for credible election and have unanimously called for outright cancellation," the statement added.
It also stressed that there was nothing to indicate that more people would not be massacred in the proposed Kogi West senatorial re-run election.
"There are reports in the public space that the APC-controlled federal government does not want Senator Dino Malaye in the Senate just because of his forthrightness in defending the interest of the people," the statement added.

The 'Maha' twist was a top secret operation
by Mrityunjay BoseThe sudden abrupt change in power equations in Maharashtra - that came like a bolt from the blue - was a top-secret operation.
Only a handful including prime minister Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah were aware as to what was panning out.
In fact, BJP's second-term chief minister Devendra Fadnavis was constantly in touch with NCP leader and Sharad Pawar's nephew Ajit Pawar.
According to highly-placed sources, a select group of people established contact with Pawar Jr earlier this week.
In fact, last week, Pawar Jr ahead of the first joint meeting of the NCP-Congress, said: "main Baramati ja raha hoon". But, he later joined the meeting.
Sensing something amiss, the BJP launched an operation to get Pawar nephew on board.
Only a handful of leaders like state BJP president Chandrakant Patil and BJP's troubleshooters and close Devendra Fadnavis aides Girish Mahajan and Prakash Lad were aware of what exactly was panning out. In fact, during the Karnataka crisis, Lad had played an instrumental role.
Besides, it was a known fact that Ajit wanted the CM's chair to rotate between Sena and NCP. But Congress and NCP made it clear that Sena will get a full five-year term and Uddhav Thackeray was the unanimous choice of CM.
At this stage, the BJP convinced Ajit to walk out and changed sides.
In fact, the day President's rule was imposed, Fadnavis summoned Uddhav's bete noire Narayan Rane and asked him to ensure that an alternative government does not take shape.
As part of the operation, the BJP leaders also tried to access some Shiv Sena and Congress MLAs but both the parties managed to keep the flock together. "Despite Sharad Pawar, NCP was vulnerable because of political ambitions of Ajit Pawar," sources said.
Besides, Pawar is embroiled in the irrigation scam and the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank scam.
They added that through some highly-reliable emissaries, Fadnavis was in regular touch with Ajit and persuaded him.

I had done a lot of reading up on Morning Glory seeds, had some good quality untreated seed, and then one day, very much on a whim decided it was time to give 'em a try. This was my first mistake - being casual about what turned out to be a very powerful and sometimes scary experience.
I eyeballed out what I thought would be a good sized dose (second mistake! this was a very heavy dose - one I was not prepared for!) approximately 250 - 300 seeds - around 8 grams. I ground the seeds to powder in a small electric coffee grinder and then stirred that into about one cup of cold water - I didn't want to use too much in case the flavor wasn't good. I put this into a plastic container and put it in the fridge for 4-5 hours.
At 10:00 pm I strained off the liquid using a very fine mesh metal filter from an electric coffee maker. The resulting liquid had a blackish color but did not taste bad - rather nutty.
First effects started to come on after about an hour and a half and seemed really very mild - I felt some itchiness and muscle strain in the insides of my legs (this was always a telltale sign for me when doing acid that things were starting up).
Part way into the second hour I decided that nothing more was going to happen and went to bed. After all I had to go to work the next day but I had figured on a four to six hour trip, and then all would be well, but this was my most serious mistake of all! Count on a full twelve hours of raging hallucinations and then 24 - 48 hours to fully return to normal.
Lying down was the cue for all the lights to go on - in my mind anyway! At first the visuals were very interesting and somewhat controllable, I could call up visions of people I knew and view them in a full 360 degree circle but this quickly accelerated to full color, photo quality craziness that lasted a good two hours. I won't bore you with all the details but I should mention that at one point I was confronted by a Mayan Sun God. He was the spirit of the seeds and he seemed surprised to see me there. He spoke to me in a language that sounded like Spanish but wasn't. I don't remember the upshot of it all but I think he was real in some way.
It was at this point that I realized that I had to go to work in the morning and that the trip was not lessening after five hours but was still accelerating. This really got stuck in my head and of course made the whole experience much more difficult to enjoy or use in any way. The good thing about it all was this - when the hallucinations became too intense all I had to do was get up and go into a lighted room and walk around to regain control. This was much more controllable than a full blown acid trip.
Now for the down side. During the first five to six hours I would have to spend some period of time on the can every hour as my body tried to rid itself of everything it could. I don't think this was entirely a normal reaction to the seeds as I had made the mistake of eating a really heavy really spicy meal only a few hours before ingesting the seeds. I would strongly recommend fasting for at least twelve hours before use simply to reduce as much as possible this particular aspect of the trip - believe me even though I screwed up my first experience in some ways, it was definitely worth the discomfort and I will do Morning Glory seeds again in future.
At the seventh hour the visuals started to tone down and were replaced on center stage by aural hallucinations. These were huge droning chants and tones and were LOUD! Thankfully this only lasted for about two hours. By now I had worked up a way to deal with my rapidly approaching responsibilities so I could relax a bit more and I spent the last three hours watching the little colored pictures slowly dwindle away to nothing.
Around 10:00 in the morning I was normal enough to drop off to sleep. I spent the rest of the day in bed. The next 24 hours I felt spacey and not totally in this world. The day after that I felt an odd euphoria that lasted all day. I think I was just happy that I made it back to this world finally. I did have some intestinal discomfort for a few days and at one point thought I had done some sort of permanent damage to myself but this eventually passed away too.

You can create high level summaries of an area of biology based on selected GO terms. For example, if you have a list of gene product IDs and would like to see how they map to a list of selected terms (called GO slims). You can create your own GO term lists called GO slims or use pre-defined lists.
The tool looks for annotations to the GO terms in your GO slim list and their child terms.  This makes it easier for you to get a GO summary for your gene products/ organisms consisting of GO annotations for the GO terms that you are interested in and their child terms.
To use GO slims, click on the ‘Explore biology’ box on the QuickGO home page.
You can choose a pre-defined GO slim from the dropdown shown or select ‘Input your own’ to paste in your own list or choose ‘Select from basket’ to use the terms in your basket as your GO slim.
Your selected GO slim will now be presented in the ‘Your selection’ area. You can choose to remove terms from this list by hovering over them and then clicking. You will see an ‘x’ appear next to the term as you hover and clicking on the term area will remove it from your selection. You can also view the ancestor chart for a term by clicking on the icon next to a term. You can also view a chart for all terms in your selection by clicking on the ‘View chart’ button on the right hand side of the screen.
You can add a list of Gene product IDs that you would like to map the GO slim terms to. You can also click on the ‘Restrict by species’ area to view the list of species that you can choose to restrict the GO slim mapping to. Both of these options are non-mandatory.
Once you have made all your selections, click on the ‘Apply’ button.
You will now arrive at a results page that presents all annotations mapped to your GO slim terms (including annotations to child terms summed up to terms in the GO slim). These results are presented in a table with various columns.
To view the numbers of annotations found to each term in the GO slim and from your Gene products input (if any), click on the ‘Statistics’ tab.
If you already have a set of GO identifiers that you would like to use as a GO slim:
Firstly, open the 'Investigate GO slims' page linked to from the QuickGO home page.
Click on the 'Choose Terms' tab and enter your list of GO identifiers into the 'Add Terms' text box then click on the 'Add Terms' button. You will automatically be taken to the 'Refine Selection' tab where your chosen terms will be listed. You may add or delete terms from this list. Once you have a final list of GO terms, click on the 'Find Annotations' tab to view all the annotations in the UniProt-GOA database slimmed up to the selected terms. To limit the annotations to a particular list of gene product identifiers, click on the 'Filter' button in the Annotation Toolbar, select the 'ID' tab and paste in a list of identifiers into the text box. Click on 'Apply' at the bottom of the window to view the annotations (the first 25 by default).
Alternatively, you can select terms for a slim while browsing in QuickGO:
Users can add GO terms to the Term Basket (displayed at the top of each page) by clicking the basket add icon which appears adjacent to terms.
Links in the 'Term Basket' pop-up box allow users to modify and view this GO term set. To use the terms as a GO slim, click on the 'Use terms' button within the Term Basket pop-up window, this will take you to the 'Refine Selection' tab of the GO Slims and GO Term Comparison page where your chosen terms will be listed. You may add or delete terms from this list. Once you have a final list of GO terms, click on the 'Find Annotations' tab to view all the annotations in the UniProt-GOA database slimmed up to the selected terms. To limit the annotations to a particular list of gene product identifiers, click on the 'Filter' button in the Annotation Toolbar, select the 'ID' tab and paste in a list of identifiers into the text box. Click on 'Apply' at the bottom of the window to view the annotations (the first 25 by default).
Finally, the annotation file can be downloaded by clicking on the 'Download' button on the Annotation Toolbar and choosing one of the download options. However, to ensure all annotations are downloaded, the download limit must be increased to the number of annotations in the set (this value is found in the 'Statistics' section or on the top-left of the Annotation Download table).


Instructions for you to follow in this document will be highlighted in blue.
Don't forget to cite your sources!
When light hits a surface, some of it gets absorbed and some of it gets reflected (this can vary by color). Depending on the roughness of the surface, the light may get reflected in a random direction, or the light might get reflected like a mirror.
If light gets reflected in random directions, it doesn't matter the angle we view a surface from: the only thing that matters is how much light that surface gets. Surfaces directly facing the light look bright and surfaces facing light at an angle look dimmer. Surfaces facing away from the light don't get lit at all.
You can see an example of this kind of lighting here. Note that the lighting in this example is only computed at the vertices. We will calculate lighting at each pixel for higher quality.
Copy the template code below into a new html file.
<!doctype html>This is the template from before, but:

<canvas id="canvas" width=500 height=500 style="border: 1px solid"></canvas>

light x:<input type="range" min=-5 max=5 step=.01 value=1 id="lightx">

light y:<input type="range" min=-5 max=5 step=.01 value=2 id="lighty">

light z:<input type="range" min=-5 max=5 step=.01 value=3 id="lightz">

slider:<input type="range" min=0 max=1 step=.01 id="slider">

uvpass
,
positionpass
normalpass
tangentpass
bitangentpass
Complete the Following:
vec3 V = normalize(cameraPosition - positionpass);
. This create a new vec3 variable called V (the view vector) that stores a unit vector (because it's normalized) in the direction from the current point on the surface (positionpass) to the camera position (cameraPosition, which is a uniform sent by THREE.js).
L
that stores a unit vector (the light vector) in the direction from the current point on the surface to the light position.
N
that stores a unit vector normal to the surface.
While the attribute
normal
in the vertex shader will always be normalized by THREE.js for built-in objects, when these normal vectors get interpolated going from the vertex shader to the fragment shader, they may wind up no longer normalized. You can see this by settinggl_FragColor = vec4(vec3(length(normalpass)),1.0);
in your fragment shader. In the middle of some surfaces, the length of normalpass can drop noticably below 1.In fact, special considerations have been made to keep the normals for shapes like the cube under control: each vertex is actually three separate vertices, each with their own vertex normals! You can see this by typing
(new THREE.BoxGeometry()).attributes.position.array
into the console. This is not, as one might expect, an array of 8 triples of numbers (3 for each corner of the cube), but an array of 24 triples of numbers!
diffuse
set to dot(L,N)
. This is the built-in dot product function, and this formula accounts for how much light gets spread out over the surface. When light is at an angle, it gets spread out. This is what causes the sun to be less intense during the winter.
b
set to diffuse
. As we add new sources of light, we will set this to the total contribution of the light.
gl_FragColor = vec4(b,b,b,1.0);
Ambient light refers to light that has bounced enough around a scene that it just seems to be hitting every surface from every direction. Advanced ambient lighting algorithms can take into account the colors of objects in the scene, or even whether an object is in the center of a room where it gets full lighting or the edges of the room where it gets less light.
Complete the Following:
clamp(diffuse,0.0,1.0)
. This function takes values outside the range from 0 to 1 and forces them into that range.
Light that bounces off a surface like a mirror is called specular lighting, and creates highlights to an image, as seen below:
Modern reflectance algorithms can account for detailed differences in the distribution of angles that light bounces off a surface.
Complete the Following:
vec3 R = reflect(-L,N);
. This calculates the direction when light from the light source bounces off the surface. You could also calculate this with the formula (-L)-2.0*dot(N,-L)*N;
, but this operation is common enough that it is built-in to GLSL.
float specular
that:
pow(x,64.0)
. When the dot product between V and R is very close to 1 (they're nearly the same direction), this value will be close to 1, but usually it will be very close to 0.
specular
to b. You should now be able to see the light reflected in the various surfaces. You can adjust the exponent by replacing it with 100.0*slider to see how different values of exponent affect the lighting.
if (dot(L,N) < 0.0) {specular = 0.0;}
.
A more common type of specular lighting is Blinn-Phong.
[Bonus] Complete the Following:
vec3 H
to be the normalized average of L and V.
These algorithms produce grayscale gradients. This is realistic, but doesn't fit all art styles. When trying to mimic the style of comics that have large patches of solid color, we don't want gradients.
Jasper has a detailed video on how cel shading works The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
[Bonus] Complete the Following:
You can adjust the number and location of the thresholds to control the effect. In combination with a clever choice of lighting algorithms, textures, and colors, this can produce a cartoon-y effect.
The template comes with three textures: the basecolor, normal and metallic, as shown below:
Complete the Following:
gl_FragColor
by texture(tile_basecolor,uvpass)
. The result should look like a marble surface: perfectly flat and reflective. Let's fix that!
vec3 texN = (2.0*texture(tile_normal,uvpass).xyz-1.0);
.
vec3 N = normalize(texN.z * normalize(normalpass) + texN.x * normalize(tangentpass) + texN.y * normalize(bitangentpass));
float M
to be the red component of the texture tile_metallic at the coordinates uvpass.


A data analyst is one of several critical roles in an organization, who help uncover and make sense of information to keep the company balanced and operating efficiently. Therefore, it's vital that a data analyst clearly understands their responsibilities and the tasks that are performed on a near-daily basis. Data analysts are essential in helping organizations gain valuable insights into the expanse of data that they have, and they work closely with others in the organization to help reveal valuable information.
The following figure shows the five key areas that you'll engage in during the data analysis process.
As a data analyst, you'll likely divide most of your time between the prepare and model tasks. Deficient or incorrect data can have a major impact that results in invalid reports, a loss of trust, and a negative effect on business decisions, which can lead to loss in revenue, a negative business impact, and more.
Before a report can be created, data must be prepared. Data preparation is the process of profiling, cleaning, and transforming your data to get it ready to model and visualize.
Data preparation is the process of taking raw data and turning it into information that is trusted and understandable. It involves, among other things, ensuring the integrity of the data, correcting wrong or inaccurate data, identifying missing data, converting data from one structure to another or from one type to another, or even a task as simple as making data more readable.
Data preparation also involves understanding how you're going to get and connect to the data and the performance implications of the decisions. When connecting to data, you need to make decisions to ensure that models and reports meet, and perform to, acknowledged requirements and expectations.
Privacy and security assurances are also important. These assurances can include anonymizing data to avoid oversharing or preventing people from seeing personally identifiable information when it isn't needed. Alternatively, helping to ensure privacy and security can involve removing that data completely if it doesn't fit in with the story that you're trying to shape.
Data preparation can often be a lengthy process. Data analysts follow a series of steps and methods to prepare data for placement into a proper context and state that eliminate poor data quality and allow it to be turned into valuable insights.
When the data is in a proper state, it's ready to be modeled. Data modeling is the process of determining how your tables are related to each other. This process is done by defining and creating relationships between the tables. From that point, you can enhance the model by defining metrics and adding custom calculations to enrich your data.
Creating an effective and proper data model is a critical step in helping organizations understand and gain valuable insights into the data. An effective data model makes reports more accurate, allows the data to be explored faster and more efficient, decreases time for the report writing process, and simplifies future report maintenance.
The model is another critical component that has a direct effect on the performance of your report and overall data analysis. A poorly designed model can have a drastically negative impact on the general accuracy and performance of your report. Conversely, a well-designed model with well-prepared data will ensure a properly efficient and trusted report. This notion is more prevalent when you are working with data at scale.
From a Power BI perspective, if your report is performing slowly, or your refreshes are taking a long time, you will likely need to revisit the data preparation and modeling tasks to optimize your report.
The process of preparing data and modeling data is an iterative process. Data preparation is the first task in data analysis. Understanding and preparing your data before you model it will make the modeling step much easier.
The visualization task is where you get to bring your data to life. The ultimate goal of the visualize task is to solve business problems. A well-designed report should tell a compelling story about that data, which will enable business decision makers to quickly gain needed insights. By using appropriate visualizations and interactions, you can provide an effective report that guides the reader through the content quickly and efficiently, therefore allowing the reader to follow a narrative into the data.
The reports that are created during the visualization task help businesses and decision makers understand what that data means so that accurate and vital decisions can be made. Reports drive the overall actions, decisions, and behaviors of an organization that is trusting and relying on the information that is discovered in the data.
The business might communicate that they need all data points on a given report to help them make decisions. As a data analyst, you should take the time to fully understand the problem that the business is trying to solve. Determine whether all their data points are necessary because too much data can make detecting key points difficult. Having a small and concise data story can help find insights quickly.
With the built-in AI capabilities in Power BI, data analysts can build powerful reports, without writing any code, that enable users to get insights and answers and find actionable objectives. The AI capabilities in Power BI, such as the built-in AI visuals, enable the discovering of data by asking questions, using the Quick Insights feature, or creating machine learning models directly within Power BI.
An important aspect of visualizing data is designing and creating reports for accessibility. As you build reports, it is important to think about people who will be accessing and reading the reports. Reports should be designed with accessibility in mind from the outset so that no special modifications are needed in the future.
Many components of your report will help with storytelling. From a color scheme that is complementary and accessible, to fonts and sizing, to picking the right visuals for what is being displayed, they all come together to tell that story.
The analyze task is the important step of understanding and interpreting the information that is displayed on the report. In your role as a data analyst, you should understand the analytical capabilities of Power BI and use those capabilities to find insights, identify patterns and trends, predict outcomes, and then communicate those insights in a way that everyone can understand.
Advanced analytics enables businesses and organizations to ultimately drive better decisions throughout the business and create actionable insights and meaningful results. With advanced analytics, organizations can drill into the data to predict future patterns and trends, identify activities and behaviors, and enable businesses to ask the appropriate questions about their data.
Previously, analyzing data was a difficult and intricate process that was typically performed by data engineers or data scientists. Today, Power BI makes data analysis accessible, which simplifies the data analysis process. Users can quickly gain insights into their data by using visuals and metrics directly from their desktop and then publish those insights to dashboards so that others can find needed information.
This feature is another area where AI integrations within Power BI can take your analysis to the next level. Integrations with Azure machine learning, cognitive services, and built-in AI visuals will help to enrich your data and analysis.
Power BI consists of many components, including reports, dashboards, workspaces, datasets, and more. As a data analyst, you are responsible for the management of these Power BI assets, overseeing the sharing and distribution of items, such as reports and dashboards, and ensuring the security of Power BI assets.
Apps can be a valuable distribution method for your content and allow easier management for large audiences. This feature also allows you to have custom navigation experiences and link to other assets within your organization to complement your reports.
The management of your content helps to foster collaboration between teams and individuals. Sharing and discovery of your content is important for the right people to get the answers that they need. It is also important to help ensure that items are secure. You want to make sure that the right people have access and that you are not leaking data past the correct stakeholders.
Proper management can also help reduce data silos within your organization. Data duplication can make managing and introducing data latency difficult when resources are overused. Power BI helps reduce data silos with the use of shared datasets, and it allows you to reuse data that you have prepared and modeled. For key business data, endorsing a dataset as certified can help to ensure trust in that data.
The management of Power BI assets helps reduce the duplication of efforts and helps ensure security of the data.

You need to use reification to express if-then-else. E.g. if for the constraint if b then c1 else c2 you need to essentially implement "b implies c1" and "not b implies c2". Reification is explained in the documentation.
Cheers,

Firdous Ashiq Awan gets another contempt notice from IHC
by Saqib BashirISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court served another contempt of court notice to Special Adviser to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Firdous Ashiq Awan.
The special adviser has been instructed to explain in writing why she should not be convicted for contempt.
The single-judge bench, however, accepted her apology on an earlier contempt notice regarding her criticism of the court’s decision to grant former premier Nawaz Sharif bail on medical grounds.
IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader needed to convince the court why she should not be convicted for criminal contempt under Section 5 of the Contempt of Court Ordinance 2003 and gave her three days to submit the written explanation.
The notice said Awan “attempted to give an impression” that the IHC had extended “special dispensation” to the former premier. It also observed that her October 29 statement “amounts to prejudicing the pending proceedings”.
“By doing so, you prima-facie made an attempt to influence proceedings of a pending appeal and acted with intent to thwart the course of justice and thereby committed criminal contempt.”
Court proceedings
During the hearing, Justice Minallah censured Awan for politicising judicial matters. “You mocked our decision to grant bail on medical grounds and said you wished the courts provided relief to the common man as well.”
Justice Minallah said Nawaz was granted bail after the government-constituted medical board informed the high court that his condition was critical.
The chief justice further observed that creating doubts about the judiciary in peoples’ hearts was not good for the country.
Awan was also censured by the bench for attempting to sway public perception on a sub-judice matter. “You tried to make a pending court case controversial,” said Justice Minallah as he directed court staff to read out rules for urgent appeals to the PM’s adviser.
“Urgent appeals can be filed at any time – the courts are never off-duty. If your law minister has not briefed you on this, please consult any lawyer present here.”
Justice Minallah also observed that Awan’s statement was unwarranted for a spokesperson of the federal government. He expressed hope that her words did not echo Prime Minister Imran Khan’s sentiment.
The hearing was then adjourned till Tuesday and directed Awan to appear in-person. The special adviser requested a change in the date citing the weekly federal cabinet meeting.
Denying the request, Justice Minallah said the meeting can be held in the district court so the cabinet sees the state of courts.
