Gift vouchers set to have minimum five-year expiry
by Fran McNulty, https://www.facebook.com/rtenews/New legislation to extend consumer protections for people buying gift vouchers is to be in place before Christmas.
A range of new protections will be put in place with all gift cards having a minimum expiry of five years. This will ending a practise whereby cards go out of date and consumers lose their value entirely.
A new ban will also be introduced on the requirement to spend a voucher in one transaction.
In some cases outlets refuse to offer change or retain your balance on the gift card if you do not spend the full amount on the voucher.
The Consumer Protection Bill was put forward after much controversy about businesses imposing harsh terms on gift vouchers, which often led to big losses for consumers.
Today one of the biggest gift voucher sellers, One4All said the new legislation would not impact or affect its customers as their cards currently have no expiry date and can be used across several transactions.

EastEnders spoilers confirm permanent exit for Stacey Fowler as Martin makes discovery?
EastEnders spoilers have revealed fresh drama for Martin Fowler and wife Stacey, following his shock lie to her just weeks ago
by Charlotte TuttonEastEnders' Martin Fowler will make a shocking discovery next week on the BBC soap, ahead of dramatic Christmas scenes involving the character.
It seems Martin is headed for turmoil and may be headed off the rails, as pictures from filming on location show him waving a gun around and appearing to kidnap Linda Carter.
Keanu Taylor is also involved somehow, amid death fears ahead of his exit from the show in the coming months.
Next week, amid dodgy dealings and a devastating blackmail storyline, Martin seems a little more in high spirits.
He's been blackmailed by Ben Mitchell for weeks over wife Stacey Fowler's involvement in the attack on Phil Mitchell.
Recent scenes saw a heartbroken Martin lie to wife Stacey that he'd slept with his ex Sonia, in a bid to keep her and the kids away from Walford after Ben threatened their lives.
In scenes to air next week, Ben will begin to grow guilty about his treatment of Martin.
Seeing how much he hates being part of his dodgy deals and working for him, he's left unsure - especially when he sees Martin happy with stepson Arthur.
Is Ben having second thoughts, and will he stop his dealings?
He's been left in a panic himself after boyfriend Callum Highway confirmed his plans to join the police, spelling trouble for criminal Ben.
Back to Martin, and he's feeling a lot happier later on in the week - but his pal Kush Kazemi, Arthur's dad, seems to be hiding something.
Martin tries to get back into contact with Stacey after their last showdown, and heads to the Slaters' house.
But when he gets there, he's left shocked by what he finds.
Stacey's mum Jean and Mo are packing up her things - does this mean a permanent exit is on the cards for the character?
EastEnders airs Mondays and Fridays at 8pm, and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.

FAQ
These are some questions that the author wishes everyone would ask, since he knows the answers for them.
Why does pgcli exist?
I'm a huge fan of CLIs. Especially REPLs. When I first encountered BPython, I fell in love with it. BPython is a Python REPL that has auto-completion, syntax-highlighting and displays the docstring of functions as you type. Once you get used to that level of pampering, all other REPLs start to look like Dumb Terminals.
When I started using psql for interacting with my Postgres database, I yearned for a BPython equivalent for psql.
One fine day I got a twitter DM from Jonathan Slenders asking me if I'd be interested in trying a new Python library that he's working on called Python-Prompt-Toolkit. This library provided a way to write CLIs without having to deal with curses and had the requisite tools for doing auto-completion and syntax-highlighting. So I jumped at the opportunity to try it out. After I got myself familiarized, I started writing pgcli to scratch my own itch.
So this app exists because Jonathan was kind enough to request my feedback.
Does pgcli work on Windows?
The honest answer is, I don't know. All the underlying libraries used by pgcli are cross-platform compatible (including Windows). But I have not had the opportunity to try it on Windows. It is mainly because I don't have a windows machine to try this and I'm too lazy to try and provision an Azure instance.
If there is enough interest, I will get off my lazy bum and buy an Azure instance. Please file bugs if it doesn't work on Windows.
Will there be an equivalent of this for Sqlite/MySql?
Probably. Now that I've worked out the hard parts (sqlcompletion and special commands), I'd like to write a CLI for Sqlite and MySql. But I'm not sure if I'll have the time to do it in the immediate future. But if you're interested in doing it, I'd be happy to help you. Please get in touch.
What's the difference between Smart Completion and Naive Completion?
Naive Completion is a collection of all the keywords, functions, table names and column names. As you start typing this collection will be narrorwed down based on the text that has been types so far.
Smart Completion tries to do context sensitive completion. For eg: 'SELECT * FROM ' knows that the only items relevant after the FROM keyword is a table name, so it only suggests items from a collection of table names.
How 'smart' is the Smart Completion?
Smart Completion uses the Sqlparse library to tokenize the sql statment and uses heuristics to suggest context sensitive completion. It can handle nearly 80% of scenarios (in my testing). But there are still some corner cases where it will suggest only keywords when you might be looking for columns or tables. So it could get frustrating when it refuses to provide completions from a different category. In those scenarios, I tend to turn it off (using the F2 key) and switch to Naive completion which suggests words from all categories.
The code itself is not my proudest work. Writing auto-completion libraries are inherently difficult since you're dealing with incomplete input. So the parsers can't work effectively in many scenarios. So the code has to compensate for those corner cases. Which resulted in a lot of testing and patching those cases with one off 'if-conditions'.
Why is this not version 1.0?
The backbone of pgcli is Python-Prompt-Toolkit. Prompt Toolkit is awesome at what it does, but the APIs for the library are still evolving. So I'm hesitant to mark pgcli as 1.0, since pgcli will also be changing to keep up with the changes in Prompt Tookit. I'll probably release v1.0 when Python-Prompt-Toolkit goes 1.0.
What is the license for pgcli?
BSD 3-clause license. https://github.com/amjith/pgcli/blob/master/LICENSE.txt
How can I get support for pgcli?
The best resource at the moment is to use the Github Issues page for this project.
I found a bug, what do I do?
Whoopsie Daisies! I'm sorry you encountered a bug. Please file a bug on Github Issues for this project. I'll fix it asap.
I have a feature request, what do I do?
Sweet! Open a new item on Github Issues. Alternatively, you can take a stab at implementing the new feature yourself. If you'd like some guidance, I'm just an email away. Don't hesitate to contact me.
I want to contribute to this project, how do I do that?
Awesome! I thought you'd never ask. Here's a developer guide that provides basic info on getting started with local development. You're also welcome to contact me, if you need some help getting started.

Conway's Game of Life, also known as the Game of Life or simply Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician
John Horton Conway in 1970. It is the best-known example of a cellular automaton.
Conway's Game of Life consists of a square grid containing dead or alive cells. The behaviour of each cell is dependent on
the state of its 8 immediate neighbours, according to the following rules:
Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by underpopulation.
Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation.
Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.

Thinking Outside the Cubicle
It's okay. You can come out. There's nothing to be afraid of!
As technology evolves and continues to connect us in ways we never thought possible, so too does the skillset that tech companies are looking for in their "ideal" candidates. For the longest time, the stereotyipical tech employee was a reclusive, video-game loving, people-fearing, anxiety-ridden computer "geek". And while many stereotypes are exaggerated and unfair, I think it's safe to say that we've all had a friend or two that fit that description in one way or another!
As in any business, communication is often the biggest problem hindering performance, morale, and the bottom line. The tech sector is no different. Just walk through an office with cubicles, and you'll see why it's no wonder that communication is an issue. Too many companies separate their employees into these identical, soul-sucking, solitary confinement chambers. You can quite literally work the entire day without seeing a coworker. The negative consequences of this separation cannot be overstated. The psychological effects of physical barriers have been proven time and time again to become barriers for communication. What do the best teams do when their tackling a task? They huddle up! They create open lines of communication that allow for free expression and brainstorming. They don't give themselves an excuse to become isolated, and they REMOVE barriers.
But while cubicles are the easy elephant to see in the room, the true root cause of any communication problem lies in the people doing the communicating (or lack there of). For far too long, tech companies seeking engineers, developers, and programmers have focused mainly on an applicant's hard skills. Can they code? Check. Are they efficient? Check. HIRED!
While this type of candidate is usually capable of completing the tasks necessary for their job, their lack of personal (soft) skills can become a growing problem that will eventually show itself. Sure, they can refactor a program like nobody's business, but can they rally a team together when the going gets tough? Can they motivate those around them to continue performing better? Are they not just concerned about their own well-being, but that of the people working with them on a daily basis? If not, this newly hired asset could soon become a liability in more ways than one. And the potential for disaster is high if it turns out to be one of the "rotten apples" that can become poison for an office.
So how do tech companies begin to solve this problem? They've already begun, but there's still plenty of room to run:
First, employers must heighten the importance of screening candidates that have soft AND hard skills. They carry equal weight (depending on the position), and are critical to a companies success as development projects become larger and more collaborative. Growing a company starts with interviews, but many managers tend to rush through these critical meetings because interviews can be....awkward. Think about it. You've just met this person for the first time, and over the course of an hour or two you're going to agree to begin spending 40-50 hrs/week together for an indefinite amount of time. That's pressure! But, also all the more reason why this time should be spent wisely, and not just on a white-board. By spending more time focused on a candidate's communication skills, employers will make wiser investments for their own future, and also pave the way for new managers who can screen for the same in future candidates.
Another solution to this problem is the increasing success of programs like DBC. If you remember your application to the program, you'll recall that getting accepted didn't come down to just coding a few challenges. DBC wants team-players who can communicate, share their feelings, be honest, and collaborate willingly! Not all bootcamps abide by the same prerequisites, but as DBC's success continues to grow, they'll likely see the benefits of graduating students with a mind for logic, and personality for working well with others.
Perhaps one of the most simple answers to improving open dialogue in the office is TEAR DOWN THE CUBICLES! In my current position as budget manager for a transportation company, my boss spent time with me on my vey first day to discuss concerns he had about the team I would be leading. They were unapproachable, abrasive, and "detached from the operation". After a few days I could tell that this was not an exaggeration, and I began to think of ways I could improve the situation. My answer? I came into work early on a Monday morning, and I removed the cubicle dividers between their desks entirely. Aside from losing some prime calendar hanging real-estate, the decision was a net positive for several reasons:
Their communication improved because they could actually talk to one another (instead of a wall)
Their teamwork improved because they could read their coworkers body language and feel their emotions more accurately.
Their morale improved because they stopped resorting to email as their primary means of communication.
Lastly, I believe that technology itself will become its own solution to this problem. With the frequencey of video calls via FaceTime, Google Hangout, and Skype becoming more and more common, employees won't be able to hide behind their keyboards any longer. We're creating more effective means of communication all the time, and this connectivity between employees will undoubetdly improve their ability to share ideas, feelings, and concerns more openly and regularly than in the days before video-conferencing.
In summary, the next time someone in the office asks why people aren't thinking outside of the box, politely point out that it may be because they're working inside one!

it seems a bad idea to have the centralized site doing unlimited onboard/offboarding
not to mention big problems of available capital
onboarding is currently designed to be able to scale on a self-sustaining basis
its purpose is onboard and rewards
adding the burden to it to solve the as of yet unsolved central banking problem... seems a real FTL drive might be easier
the market needs to provide the buyside
I put a very far away floor, but with unlimited volume
that at least gives a worst case and I expect the market to tighten above that, especially if mining costs are more

Chapter 5 Limits to GDP & alternative measures
5.1 About this chapter
We will now follow up on some of the issues on measuring well-being raised in the last chapter. In the last chapter we learned how GDP is a measure of economic activity and how it is (mis)used as a measure of well-being. In this chapter we discuss the problems with using GDP as a well-being measure, what well-being is, and how we can measure it.
5.1.1 Intended learning outcomes
After reading this chapter you should be able to:
- Explain the problems of using GDP as a well-being measure.
- Explain and identify subjective and objective measures of well-being.
- Use publicly available measures of well-being and explain how they are created and relate to each other.
- Use scatter plots and understand how we can combine several variables in one measure.
5.2 The limits of GDP
Based on last chapter’s explanation of what GDP is and what it isn’t we can already list some limitations.
*DP only measures market activities. Recall the economy of Microeconomy. If the farmer produced the same flour, but didn’t sell it to the bakery, but instead made bread at home, the bread would not be included in GDP, even though the actual output in terms of bread (assuming the farmer is as good a baker as the baker) is the same! In a situation like the COVID-19 pandemic, where we cannot go to shops like normal, we might increase our home production and reduce our market activities. This will lead GDP to fall.
It is unclear what activities are included. As discussed in the last chapter there is a greyzone of activities that could be included in GDP. This area reduces the comparability across regions and time.
These limitations relate to GDP as a measure of economic activity. However, GDP (per person) is mostly criticized for being a poor measure of well-being. That is understandable, because such a measure would assume that (market) economy activity equals well-being. That is not necessarily the case.
5.3 What is well-being?
One of the reasons for why the GDP is so popular is that it has a more or less globally accepted standard way of quantifying economic activity. Very few variables are as standardized as GDP (although there are some variation in what is included in the GDP measure). We use GDP because the GDP is available and because the GDP is comparable across countries and regions. Not even definition of unemployment rate is as standardized as the measure of GDP. But we now know what the GDP captures and what should use it for and what we shouldn’t use it for. It is a measure of economic activity, not a measure of well-being. But what is well-being? What is welfare?
The first challenge is to agree on what we want to measure and what we want to call it. Is it well-being, happiness, welfare or quality of life. The “Stiglitz report” (Stiglitz et al. 2009) (discussed below) uses the term “Quality of Life” and states the following:
"While a long tradition of philosophical thought has addressed the issues of what gives life its quality, recent advances in research have led to measures that are both new and credible. This research suggests that the need to move beyond measures of economic resources is not limited to developing countries (the traditional focus of much work on human development in the past) but is even more salient for rich industrialised countries. These measures, while not replacing conventional economic indicators, provide an opportunity to enrich policy discussions and to inform people’s view of the conditions of the communities where they live. More importantly, the new measures now have the potential to move from research to standard statistical practice. While some of them reflect structural conditions that are relatively invariant over time but that differ systematically across countries, others are more responsive to policies and more suitable for monitoring changes over shorter periods of time. Both types of indicator play an important role in evaluating quality of life.
(page 41 in Stiglitz et al. 2009)
We will go through the three conceptual approaches discussed in the Stiglitz report below and later present some measured of quality of life and well-being in practice and how they relate to the conceptual approaches.
5.4 GDP and well-being
The Stiglitz Report
One important milestone in the debate on measuring well-being and quality of life is the so called “Stiglitz Report” (Stiglitz et al. 2009), named after one of the authors, professor Joseph E. Stiglitz. The official title of the report is “Report by the Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress”. The goal of the commission behind the report was
“to identify the limits of GDP as an indicator of economic performance and social progress, including the problems with its measurement; to consider what additional information might be required for the production of more relevant indicators of social progress; to assess the feasibility of alternative measurement tools, and to discuss how to present the statistical information in an appropriate way.”
page 7 in (Stiglitz et al. 2009).
The report provides detailed examples and criticism of GDP as a measure of well-being and social progress as well, as discussed, conceptual approaches to measure well-being. We will first briefly discuss some of the most prominent criticism of GDP as a measure of well-being and then return to how we could do a better job.
Criticism of GDP as a well-being measure
GDP is a poor measure of human welfare
The first criticism is probably the most-known critique: GDP measures consumption of goods and services (the expenditure approach), and while these aspects might be correlated with quality of life, there are many aspects of utility and well-being that are not captured by GDP. To list a few:
- Nature and environment (pollution)
- Education
- Health
- Crime and safety
Consider two countries that have an identical GDP per capita. In the first country there is almost no pollution, there are beautiful mountains, forests, lakes and beaches. In the second country there is lots of pollution and no access to nature. Moreover, in the first country life expectancy is high and the population have very few health problems. In the second country life expectancy is low and the mental and physical health of the population is very low.
Would you say that well-being is the same in the two countries (they have the same GDP per capita)? Probably not. And GDP per capita does not capture all these elements listed above (and many elements we did not list).
Many studies find that GDP per capita is correlated with the dimensions above. For example that higher GDP capita is associated with lower infant mortality rates. But this is not the case for all dimensions, and the question is whether it is sufficient that GDP is correlated with these aspects.
GDP ignores the distribution
Again, consider two countries with identical GDP per capita. In the first country, some have a bit more resources than others, but very few are poor and very few are extremely rich. In the second country all inhabitants are poor, with the exception of one extremely rich person. Is the well-being the same these two countries?
In practice we often observe GDP growth rates that affect the population unevenly. The well-educated population may benefit more from growth driven by advanced innovation than unskilled workers. The GDP per capita measure does not capture these distributional effects. Recall from the last chapter that Kusnets already mentioned the issue of not accounting for the distribution of income (page 6 in Kusnets 1934).
Well-being is not monotonically increasing
Does GDP growth always make people happier? And is the effect constant? Promoting GDP growth appears to be an endless goal, but in practice, the effect of more GDP on well-being might non-linear and even non-monotonic. Going from starvation to having enough food and decent living conditions might affect well-being more than the same monetary increase for people who already have very high living standards. Moreover, there might be some certain level of saturation, after which more GDP does not lead to increases in well-being.
Some evidence suggests that after a certain level resources, people care mostly about their relative position. This is phenomena called “keeping up with the Joneses”, where we envy those who have more than us, and enjoy looking at those who have less than us. In such a case, a uniform increase in income for all of us has no effect on the well-being.
5.5 How to measure well-being & quality of life
Recommendations from the Stiglitz report
The commission identified the following three conceptual approaches to measuring quality of life:
Subjective well-being
The key idea is that we simply ask people about their well-being and happiness with the idea that: “that enabling people to be happy and satisfied with their life is a universal goal of human existence.” from page 7 in (Stiglitz et al. 2009)
There are several standardized questionnaires to capture the measures above and many of them show consistent patterns:
“Research has shown that it is possible to collect meaningful and reliable data on subjective well-being. Subjective well-being encompasses different aspects (cognitive evaluations of one’s life, positive emotions such as joy and pride, and negative emotions such as pain and worry): each of them should be measured separately to derive a more comprehensive appreciation of people’s lives. Quantitative measures of these subjective aspects hold the promise of delivering not just a good measure of quality of life per se, but also a better understanding of its determinants, reaching beyond people’s income and material conditions.”
page 58 in (Stiglitz et al. 2009)
Capabilities
The second conceptual approach to measuring well-being is to measure individuals ability to pursue and realise the goals that they value (the capabilities).
Fair allocations
The third conceptual approach to measuring well-being is to measure the allocation of resources among people with different tastes and abilities.
Operationalizing well-being measures
Subjective well-being measures
Subjective well-being measures are often divided into the following three types:
Evaluative measures In this approach we ask respondents to evaluate their life satisfaction, their health, or in general their well-being. We can anchor these questions (“relative to the best possible state” or relative to some objective state.).
Experience measures
In this approach we ask respondents about their feelings or experiences at specific points during the day (or during the week).
Eudemonic measures
This approach focuses on psychological aspects of individual well-being and relates to the individual’s position and control over their life.
“Objective” well-being measures
While subjective well-being typically is measured through questionnaires where we directly ask people about their their well-being, the capabilities and fair allocations approaches typically rely on “objective measures”. However, these approaches should not be considered as “more objective” compared to the subjective measures. For example the choice of indicators to include depend on a normative judgement.
“The information relevant to valuing quality of life goes beyond people’s self-reports and perceptions to include measures of their functionings and freedoms. While the precise list of these features inevitably rests on value judgements, there is a consensus that quality of life depends on people’s health and education, their everyday activities (which include the right to a decent job and housing), their participation in the political process, the social and natural environment in which they live, and the factors shaping their personal and economic security. Measuring all these features requires both objective and subjective data. The challenge in all these fields is to improve upon what has already been achieved, to identify gaps in available information, and to invest in statistical capacity in areas (such as time-use) where available indicators remain deficient.”
page 58 in (Stiglitz et al. 2009)
5.6 Measuring well-being in practice
Let us now discuss approaches to measuring well-being in practice and how they relate to the approaches discussed above.
Quick introduction: reducing dimensionality
How can we create a well-being measure that combines measures of subjective well-being, measures of health, education, environment, crime in one statistic?
When working with topics such as global development or well-being, we are often interested in aggregating several variables to obtain one variable. Many of the strategies to achieve this are beyond the scope of this unit, but you should be aware of these methods.
Creating an index
Well-being measures such as the Human Development are s based on aggregating three individual indices by means of the geometric mean.
\[\begin{align} HDI=(LEI\times EI\times II)^{1/3} \end{align}\]
Where \(LEI\) is the life expectancy index, \(EI\) is the education index, and \(II\) is the income index. Each of these indices are measured on a scale from 0 to 1, where the raw variables are related to some “max” value. For example for life expectancy, the maximum is 85 (i.e. an index value of 1) and the minimum is 20 (i.e. an index value of 0). A standard formula of measuring the individual index is as follows:
\[\begin{align} I=\frac{Y-Y_{MIN}}{Y_{MAX}-Y_{MIN}}. \end{align}\]
To create an index, just like the HDI, we therefore first convert each variable to be on a scale between 0 and 1 using the formula above, and we then compute the geometric mean across all Indexes \(i\):
\[\begin{align} \text{Aggregate Index}=\left(\prod_{i=1}^N I_i\right)^{1/N} \end{align}\]
- Principal Component Analysis and Factor Analysis
Principal component analysis (PCA) and Factor analysis are methods to reduce the dimensionality of data. These approaches are very often used in regressions, when you want to reduce the number of variables. With these method you can identify a set of or that describe the variation in the data. The goal is typically to identify a set of components and factors that are smaller than the number of variables used.
Intuitively speaking, the goal is to identify variables that “move in the same direction”. Imagine that you have a dataset with 25 behavioural measures of a child. Five of these measures relate to the child’s peer relations. When one of these variables go up, the other four also tend to go up. Another five variables might capture the child’s level of hyperactivity and inattention, again, if one of the five variables goes up, the other four also tend to go up. We have those identified two separate components, that each cover five underlying variables.
Factor analysis and principal component analysis are two distinct methods. Factor analysis is more based on theories of underlying latent (unobserved) variables, while principal component analysis is more based the objective to reduce the number of dimensions (number of variables) in the data.
Because well-being depends on several aspects, such as health, environment, income and education, it is hard to compare across time and space. There are simply too many “dimensions”. We would like to reduce the well-being to one variable, to one dimension. There are several approaches to combine several variables in one variable. The following two methods are very common:
- An index based on a geometric mean
- Principal component analysis
The Human Development Index (UN)
The Human Development Index (HDI) is developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The index is an example of combining several objective indicators of well-being in one measure. The index consists of the three dimensions:
- Life expectancy index
- Education index
- Income index.
the HDI is created by the geometric mean of the the three indices above. There ahas been some changes in the HDI definition over time. Data is available for the period 1995-2015 for many countries across the world. The data can be downloaded from the website of the United Nations: UN.
World Happiness Report
Published by the United Nations since 2012, the World Happiness Report uses data from the Gallup World Poll to describe global happiness patterns, by linking these data to specific topics (for example migration). The data is available for download here: World Happiness Report.
OECD Better Life Index
The OECD has computed the “Better Life Index” since 2013. The index is a combination of subjective and objective indicators that captures 11 dimensions of well-being: housing, income, jobs, community, education, environment, civic engagement, health, life satisfaction, safety and work-life balance. The data is available both as a total, by subgroups (men and women) and by distribution (low vs. high). The data can be downloaded from the OECD website: OECD.
ONS Measuring National Well-being
The UK office for National Statistics collects data on well-being measures. These data are a combination of subjective and objective indicators and capture personal well-being, relationships, health, what we do, where we life, personal finance, the economy, education and skills, governance, and the natural environment. The data is available both on aggregated level, and also on a regional level from the ONS website: ONS.
Quality of life indicators
Eurostat publishes various statistics related to quality of life. They have identified nine indicators to capture quality of life. These aspects are also a mix of subjective and objective indicators. A description of their approach and links to data is available here: eurostat.
Why is the GDP used anyway?
Why is GDP so important in policy making despite the criticism above? First of all, as disucssed above. GDP has the advantage of being available and being standardized. Secondly, it is correlated with many of the well-being measures discussed above. In Figure 5.2 we combine data on GDP per capita and the quality of life measures from Eurostat. What do you think of relationship? Do you recognize any of the criticism of GDP as a well-being measure?
To assess the relationship between the two variables, GDP per capita and Subjective Well-Being we used a scatter plot. A scatter plot is like an unconnected line chart where the vertical and horisontal positions represent the values of respectively the variables on the vertical (y) axis and horisontal axis (x). Scatter plots are very powerful tools to show relationships between variables, especially when we have a lot of data.

SKILL Tools¶
Tools to ease working with SKILL and SKILL++ in Cadence Virtuoso. The main feature of interest is the unit testing framework in the folder qtest
.
This repo contains the code that I use regularly in my PhD so it’s also available in case anyone finds any use for it.
There’s not a lot of SKILL code in the wild beyond the Cadence forums.
Project Structure¶
| Folder | Namespace | Purpose
|—|—|—|
| circuits
| qub
| Circuit analysis
| design_environment
| qub
| Manipulating the Cadence Virtuoso design environment
| geometry

| A “standard library” of useful functions.
| inductor_generator
| qub
| Inductor PCell generation.
Importing the project¶
Create the environment variable QUB_CODE_REPO_DIR
and point it at the repo root directory.
Add the src
folder to the SKILL path and run (load (strcat (getShellEnvVar "QUB_CODE_REPO_DIR") "/src/init.ils"))
and all other modules will be imported.
The src
folder can be added to the SKILL path like so: (setSkillPath (append (getSkillPath) (list (strcat (getShellEnvVar "QUB_CODE_REPO_DIR") "/src/"))))
.
If the inductor PCell code is to be used, this code library needs to be re-added using libInit.il for the Virtuoso library that the PCell resides in or else stream-out will fail.
Unit Testing¶
The unit testing framework is modelled after Python’s unittest
module and provides a basic set of assertions for testing your code.
Example Test¶
The test is run by calling load
on the file containing the test.
(qtest::runSuites
(qtest::TestSuite ((f qub:::join_lists))
(qtest::TestCase join_three_lists
(qtest::assertEqual (list "X" 2 3 4 5 6)
(f (list (list 1 2) (list 3 4) (list 5 6))))))
(qtest::TestSuite ((f qub::flatten_list))
(qtest::TestCase normal_use
(qtest::assertEqual (list 1 2 3 4 5 6 7)
(f (list 1 2 (list 3 (list 4 (list 5 6) 7))))))))
(load "./code/src/std/test_lists.ils")
1 of 2 tests passed (1 failures) (0 skipped) (0 expected failures)
Test: join_three_lists
Result: Fail
Message: No msg.
Inputs: (list("X" 2 3 4 5 6) (f list(list(1 2) list(3 4) list(5 6))))
Evaluated Inputs: (("X" 2 3 4 5 6) (1 2 3 4 5 6))

Who we are
Techkriti is the annual international, technological and entrepreneurial festival organized by the students of Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. Etymologically, the word 'Techkriti' is composed of two words; 'Tech' in English which stands for technology and 'Kriti' in Sanskrit stands for creation. Hence, the word 'Techkriti' signifies creation or innovation in technology. Techkriti was first held in 1995, and has since grown into one of the largest technical festivals in Asia. The festival is held over four days every March and attracts participants from every corner of the country as well as from abroad, comprising a total footfall of over 40,000 from all over India and abroad.
Competitions
Fierce and neck to neck competitions in various fields such as Robotics, Electronics, Business, Design, Coding, Aeromodelling, Online events (Crypto, Stocksim etc.) and Rubik's Cube are just one facet of the festival. We also have guest lectures and exhibitions to inspire the students to take that extra step towards innovation.
Exhibitions
Techkriti hosts one of the largest exhibitions of its kind in India, bringing in exhibits of diverse genres from all over the world under one roof to create a mesmerizing experience for you, irrespective of your age and interests. World's most advanced and recent technologies built in the foremost research facilities like ETH Zurich, Cornell University, Aldebaran Robotics, along with the country’s defense technology exhibited by the DRDO grace the festival. Some other names that have also mesmerised the junta during the festival includes Moogies, The Decelerator Helmet, Virtual Archery and the list doesn't end.

Henry Funk
I worked for years as a Wilderness Guide in the summer, Environmental Educator in the fall and spring, and Snowboard Instructor in the winter. Life was good. In search of a more sustainable career path, I made my way back to the Pacific Northwest to work for Tesla as a sales rep in their Seattle showroom. The office views aren’t nearly as good, but I’m able to continue working towards a cleaner and greener tomorrow thanks to Tesla’s unique mission. As more and more people buy Tesla’s products directly through the website, I long to gain the skills needed to better embrace this ‘online-only’ purchase culture. I hope to be able to educate many more people about the benefits of electric transportation and solar energy through web platforms, rather than relying on foot traffic. Cue CodeFellows!

This class defines the basic characteristics of an attribute, no matter what type of validator is used. If a particular schema associates more information with an attribute it will create a derivative of this class. So this class provides an abstract way to get basic information on attributes from any type of validator.
This class supports keyed collection semantics on the fully qualified attribute name, by providing a getKey() method to extract the key string. getKey(), in this case, just calls the virtual method getFullName() to get the fully qualified name, as defined by the derived class.
Note that the 'value' of an attribute type definition is the default or of fixed value given to it in its definition. If the attribute is of the enumerated or notation type, it will have an 'enumeration value' as well which is a space separated list of its possible vlaues.

Wavelets can be used as a mathematical tool in order to describe functions complementary to a Fourier-synthesis. In a Fourier-description, each Fourier-series member has its specific frequency without having a spatial localization, whereas a wavelet-based synthesis provides this spatial localization.
The Wavelet transform assigns a function $f(t)$ of a real variable $t$ to a function $\mathcal W_f (b,\,a)$, where $\mathcal W_f (b,\,a)$ is the wavelet-transform of $f(t)$.
The transformation rule is
$$ W_{f}(a,b) = \mid a \mid^{-\frac{1}{2}} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(t) \: \psi(\frac{t-b}{a}) \: dt,$$where $\psi\left(t\right) \in L_2(\mathbb{R})$ is the wavelet.
The wavelet-transform $\mathcal W_f (b,\,a)$ contains both, time information and frequency content of $f(t)$. Depending on the value of $a$ those characteristics of $f(t)$ are resolved by $\mathcal W_f (b,\,a)$ . While a small value for $a$ results in a good resolution of the time information and a poor representation of the frequency content, a big value for $a$ leads to a good resolution of the frequency content and thus a bad resolution of the time information.
This app visualizes the wavelet-transform of: Heaviside functions, rectangular functions, Dirac delta functions, trigonometric functions and user defined functions using different two different wavelet functions.
Wavelet 1: $\psi\left(t\right) = t\, e^{-t^2}$
Wavelet 2: $\psi\left(t\right) = e^{-\frac{t^2}{2}} \, \cos(5\,t)$The interactivity parameters are:

Self-portrait in a Straw Hat
By Louise Elisabeth Lebrun
The painting appears, after cleaning, to be an autograph replica of a picture, the original which was painting in Brussels in 1782 in free imitation of Ruben's Chapau de Palle', which LeBrun has seen in Antwerp. It was exhibited in Paris in 1782 at the Salon de la Correspondence. LeBrun's original is recorded in a private collection in France.

NIGHTS OF CABIRIA (1957) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1998 Ted Prigge
Director: Federico Fellini Writers: Federico Fellini, Ennio Flaiano, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and Tullio Pinelli Starring: Giulietta Masina, François Périer, Franca Marzi, Amedeo Nazzari, Dorian Gray, Aldo Silvani, Mario Passante, Pina Gualandri, Polidor
I didn't even know "Nights of Cabiria" was a movie until before this summer when it was announced it would be rereleased in theaters. I was even more surprised to discover it's a Fellini film, a director I'm in the process of discovering as I try to see all the films that have influenced some of my favorite contemporary directors. But there's more: it won the Oscar in 1957 for Best Foreign Film, being one of the four Fellini films to do that (the others: "La Strada," "8 1/2," and "Amarcord"), and it inspired the semi-popular musical, "Sweet Charity."
There's got to be a reason this is so unknown in modern day society, especially since the other three films on that list are relatively well-known, and others that didn't win Oscars are more well-known. I'm not sure why, but I will say after seeing it, it's a real shame, not because of the other reasons why it should be known, but because of the most ironic reason a film should be cherished by modern-day societies: it's perhaps Fellini's most accessible film. I took two people to see this film with me, both who weren't too aquainted with his work, and they both came out loving it.
Whether taken as a religious allegory or a satire or whatever else you can dissect it as, "Nights of Cabiria" is first a touching funny/sad story. It's like Chaplin if he were more bleak and used less slapstick. In fact, it's public knowledge that Giulietta Masina, the star of the film (and Fellini's wife), based her Cabiria performance on the Little Tramp. Cabiria is an aging prostitute in Rome, and she uses her toughness to ward off police raids, talk down to some of the other more aggressive prostitutes, and make sure that her clients don't jerk her around.
But at the same time, Cabiria is weak, and she's not just looking for some quick cash. She wants to be loved, and her job leads her to many potential clients or lovers. In fact, the film finds her in a month-long relationship as the film begins, only to lose it all suddenly and have to go back to her profession. In this retrospect, Cabiria is sympathetic because she has perpetual bad luck, but Masina doesn't just make her a character of pity. She makes her lovable. With an umbrella in her hand almost all the time, and with her Bambi-like face, Cabiria is almost impossible not to like, and Masina makes her into a unique character: her bursts of anger at certain parts in the movie come out of a fear of emotional pain.
Fellini's strong point was capturing reality and making it hypnotic. In many of his films, especially his masterpiece, "La Dolce Vita," sequences go on for long periods of time, giving the film an episodic but nevertheless capitivating feel. In Cabiria there are many sequences of varying ranges, but they never become boring because Fellini always makes them interesting, and filled with human emotion. When Cabiria is picked up by a movie star (Amedeo Nazzari), we see her bragging to all her friends while in his car, only to see her dumped by him because his girlfriend returns to apologise for a fight they had earlier.
We see all of this from the point of view of Cabiria, who's a witness to several of the same things that are shown from a different perspective in "La Dolce Vita" (which was from the point of view of a gossip collumist). She witnesses some of the decadence of Roman society as he always showed, but the strongest scenes are the ones where Cabiria is shit upon, which make for the most poignant and emotional moments since Chaplin films. In the film's best scene, she's put under a spell by a sadistic hypnotist in front of a giant audience, where she confesses some of her deepest desires, only to receive jeers from the audience when she awakens.
A love story occurs late in the film, but the film actually moves in a giant circle, and the final scenes are filled with tension and sadness. Fellini demonstrates that he was one of the best directors in the history of cinema because he knew how to make his audience feel what his characters were feeling, and was able to do that without manipulation or cheap stunts. In these final scenes, we're right there with Cabiria because we care about her, and we ultimately want to see her come out okay. Fellini knew that the key to making a great film was creating characters who were likable and could make some connection with his audience. Cabiria may be his greatest creation. She's like all of us. She has ups and downs throughout the film. She wonders about faith and ponders the same unfaithful questions we often ponder. And most of all, she shows that we need to be survivalists if we're going to make it at all in this crazy world.
But if Cabiria's his greatest creation, it's mostly due to the performance by Giulietta Masina. She wasn't just the director's wife, the way that Lindsay Crouse and Rebecca Pidgeon are the wives of writer/director David Mamet. She was an extremely talented actress who appeared in several of his films, such as "Juliet of the Spirits," and she's shown that she's not just an adorable creature (and she is), but that she's also a brilliant actress.
