DAR models¶
Introduction¶
Gaussian state space models - often called structural time series or unobserved component models - provide a way to decompose a time series into several distinct components. These components can be extracted in closed form using the Kalman filter if the errors are jointly Gaussian, and parameters can be estimated via the prediction error decomposition and Maximum Likelihood.
We can write a dynamic autoregression model in this framework as:
In other words the dynamic autoregression coefficients follow a random walk.
Example¶
We’ll run an Dynamic Autoregressive (DAR) Model for yearly sunspot data:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import pyflux as pf
from datetime import datetime
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
data = pd.read_csv('https://vincentarelbundock.github.io/Rdatasets/csv/datasets/sunspot.year.csv')
data.index = data['time'].values
plt.figure(figsize=(15,5))
plt.plot(data.index,data['sunspot.year'])
plt.ylabel('Sunspots')
plt.title('Yearly Sunspot Data');
Here we specify an arbitrary DAR(9) model (note: which is probably overspecified).
model = pf.DAR(data=data, ar=9, integ=0, target='sunspot.year')
Next we estimate the latent variables. For this example we will use a maximum likelihood point mass estimate \(z^{MLE}\):
x = model.fit("MLE")
x.summary()
DAR(9, integrated=0)
====================================== =================================================
Dependent Variable: sunspot.year Method: MLE
Start Date: 1709 Log Likelihood: -1179.097
End Date: 1988 AIC: 2380.194
Number of observations: 280 BIC: 2420.1766
========================================================================================
Latent Variable Estimate Std Error z P>|z| 95% C.I.
======================= ========== ========== ======== ======== ========================
Sigma^2 irregular 0.301
Constant 60.0568 23.83 2.5202 0.0117 (13.3499 | 106.7637)

Sigma^2 AR(6) 0.0011
Sigma^2 AR(7) 0.0002
Sigma^2 AR(8) 0.0003
Sigma^2 AR(9) 0.032
=========================================================================================
Note we have no standard errors in the results table because it shows the transformed parameters. If we want standard errors, we can call x.summary(transformed=False)
. Next we will plot the in-sample fit and the dynamic coefficients using plot_fit()
:
model.plot_fit(figsize=(15,10))
The sharp changes at the beginning reflect the diffuse initialization; together with high initial uncertainty, this leads to stronger updates towards the beginning of the series. We can predict forward using plot_predict:
We can predict forwards through the plot_predict()
: method:
model.plot_predict(h=50, past_values=40, figsize=(15,5))
The prediction intervals here are unrealistic and reflect the Gaussian distributional assumption we’ve chosen – we can’t have negative sunspots! – but if we are just want the predictions themselves, we can use the predict()
: method.
Class Description¶
-
class
DAR
(data, ar, integ, target, family)¶ Dynamic Autoregression Models (DAR).
Parameter Type Description data pd.DataFrame or np.ndarray Contains the univariate time series ar int The number of autoregressive lags integ int How many times to difference the data (default: 0) target string or int Which column of DataFrame/array to use. family pf.Family instance The distribution for the time series, e.g pf.Normal()
Attributes
-
latent_variables
¶ A pf.LatentVariables() object containing information on the model latent variables, prior settings. any fitted values, starting values, and other latent variable information. When a model is fitted, this is where the latent variables are updated/stored. Please see the documentation on Latent Variables for information on attributes within this object, as well as methods for accessing the latent variable information.
Methods
-
adjust_prior
(index, prior)¶ Adjusts the priors for the model latent variables. The latent variables and their indices can be viewed by printing the
latent_variables
attribute attached to the model instance.Parameter Type Description index int Index of the latent variable to change prior pf.Family instance Prior distribution, e.g. pf.Normal()
Returns: void - changes the model
latent_variables
attribute
-
fit
(method, **kwargs)¶ Estimates latent variables for the model. User chooses an inference option and the method returns a results object, as well as updating the model’s
latent_variables
attribute.Parameter Type Description method str Inference option: e.g. ‘M-H’ or ‘MLE’ See Bayesian Inference and Classical Inference sections of the documentation for the full list of inference options. Optional parameters can be entered that are relevant to the particular mode of inference chosen.
Returns: pf.Results instance with information for the estimated latent variables
-
plot_fit
(**kwargs)¶ Plots the fit of the model against the data. Optional arguments include figsize, the dimensions of the figure to plot.

Sites such as GitHub and GitLab allow you to host git repositories online. This is useful to us for two main reasons:
By having one central repository online, many people can collaborate on the same set of documents.
We'll discuss how this is done later.
Linux Kernel development is done using distributed version control. The GitHub page presently shows11,343separate authors and 995,819 commits (February 26 2021).
In addition to the number of contributors and commits, GitHub provides other insights.
And git blame will show us who authored each line of a file.
GitHub/GitLab allows you to show your abilities to prospective employers. This is especially useful for students, who can link to their GitHub from their resume.
If you are going to list Python as a skill on your resume, it is advisable to link to code you have written.
If you make a commit to a git repository hosted on GitHub/GitLab, you can link to that specific commit.
For example, say you have a commit accepted in PyTorch, you can link to the commit on your resume and show everyone!
In the next couple slides we'll discuss how to interact with GitHub.
Let's say you have a local git repository, which you would like to push to GitHub. You first need to create a repository on GitHub, and then set that repository as a remote
with:
$ git remote add origin [url provided by github]
You can list the remotes for a repository with:
$ git remote -v
To send our commits in branch main to GitHub we use:
$ git push origin main
If there are changes in the main branch of the remote repo, you can run the following to incorporate them in your local repo:
$ git pull origin main
This runs a git fetch
and git merge
.
If you have potential improvements to another person's repo, you can request to merge your improvements into their repo. You do this with a pull request. A pull request is not a part of git, but functionality provided by GitHub.
You can also host simple websites on GitHub from a git repo. This is very useful for students to showcase their work. See here for how to set up GitHub pages.

A cocktail is an alcoholic mixed drink, which is either a combination of spirits, or one or more spirits mixed with other ingredients such as fruit juice, flavored syrup, or cream. There are various types of cocktails, based on the number and kind of ingredients added.
These margaritas are flavored with a blackberry simple syrup, fresh lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur.
The Shell Beach Cocktail is the perfect beach vacation cocktail recipe made with sparkling Rose' combining homemade Pineapple Ginger Rum and Rose sparkling wine, and orange bitters. This exotic simple but complex combination of flavors is perfect to sip on seas side as you bask in the summer sun.
The classic Old Fashioned is a simple and easily customizable cocktail base: spirit, sugar, bitters and a garnish. ... Shake: A New Perspective on Cocktails, we developed a twist on the classic recipe that infuses aged rum with fragrant island spices and orange. The result is a unique and warming cold-weather drink.
The daisy family of cocktails is another classic formula in which you can change up the base spirit. While you might enjoy a whiskey or gin daisy, the brandy daisy remains a favorite. Brandy is, of course, the centerpiece of the recipe, though this one does add a hint of rum. In classic daisy form, you'll also pour curaçao, simple syrup, and lemon juice before topping it with soda. It's quite fascinating.

Three Body Problem
This is a simple platformer around the general theme of "shapeshifting."
Play as a loose collection of three characters and traverse the map in search
of coin and the exit. There are three types of whirling enemies bent on your
destruction. Take care, your fire is only effective against enemies that
are similar to your current form. Thanks for playing!
Controls:
- S Change shape
- F Fire at your enemies
- V Turn the music off. Sorry, you're stuck with the sound :)
- ↑ Jump/climb
- ← Move left
- → Move right
Hints:
- When in "green form", scale walls by holding down the direction key toward the wall while pressing up.
- Different forms can get you into tight spaces that other can't.
- Think of this as choose your own adventure... the endgame is perhaps lacking.
- The water is a feature that didn't make the cut.
- Enemies continue to spawn throughout the game. Get rid of them to keep things tidy.
- Secret enemy teleport locations recycle them to a random spawn point.
Bugs:
- Shifting to a new form sometimes lets you walk through walls
- On rare occasions you become invincible. Congratulations!


The Monkees are an American rock and pop band originally active between 1965 and 1971, with subsequent reunion albums and tours in the decades that followed. They were formed in Los Angeles in 1965 by Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider for the American television series The Monkees, which aired from 1966 to 1968. The musical acting quartet was composed of Americans Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork and British stage and television actor and singer Davy Jones. The band's music was initially supervised by producer Don Kirshner, backed by the songwriting duo of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.
For the first few months of their initial five-year career as "the Monkees", the four actor-musicians were allowed only limited roles in the recording studio. This was due in part to the amount of time required to film the television series. Nonetheless, Nesmith did compose and produce some songs from the beginning, and Peter Tork contributed limited guitar work on the sessions produced by Nesmith. They eventually fought for and earned the right to collectively supervise all musical output under the band's name. The sitcom was canceled in 1968, but the band continued to record music through 1971.
A revival of interest in the television show came in 1986, which led to a series of reunion tours and new records. Until 2011, the group had reunited and toured several times, with varying degrees of success. Despite the sudden death of Davy Jones on February 29, 2012, the surviving members reunited for a tour in November–December 2012 and again in 2013 for a 24-date tour. As of December 2016, they continue to tour, with Dolenz and Tork providing the core of the band, assisted by several other professional musicians, for their 50th anniversary tour through the US, Australia, and New Zealand in 2016. Nesmith was able to free some time up to join them in the latter stages of the US tour.[9][10]
Dolenz described the Monkees as initially being "a TV show about an imaginary band ... that wanted to be the Beatles, but that was never successful". The actor-musicians became, ironically, one of the most successful bands of the 1960s. The Monkees have sold more than 75 million records worldwide and had international hits, including "Last Train to Clarksville", "Pleasant Valley Sunday", "Daydream Believer", and "I'm a Believer". They are reported to have outsold the Beatles and the Rolling Stones combined in 1967.


Spark New Zealand leads 5G rollout with Nokia, keeps Huawei on preferred suppliers list
by ReutersSpark New Zealand Ltd said on Monday it abandoned plans to rely on China’s Huawei exclusively for the rollout of 5G services but would keep it as part of a three-company preferred list of equipment suppliers.
The use of Huawei Technologies Co Ltd equipment ran into a major roadblock in November 2018 when New Zealand’s intelligence agency rejected Spark’s proposal to use Huawei equipment, citing national security risks.
The Chinese company has been under scrutiny over allegations and concerns that China could use Huawei’s equipment for espionage, a charge that Huawei has repeatedly denied.
Spark said that Nokia, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and Huawei made up its preferred list of suppliers and it would kick off its 5G rollout with Nokia – for which it has New Zealand government approval.
The Auckland-based company said wireless 5G broadband would be introduced in five areas in New Zealand’s South Island before Christmas, and in major centers from mid-2020.

| NICE(2) | Linux Programmer's Manual | NICE(2) |
int nice(int inc);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
nice(): _XOPEN_SOURCE || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
The range of the nice value is +19 (low priority) to -20 (high priority). Attempts to set a nice value outside the range are clamped to the range.
Traditionally, only a privileged process could lower the nice value (i.e., set a higher priority). However, since Linux 2.6.12, an unprivileged process can decrease the nice value of a target process that has a suitable RLIMIT_NICE soft limit; see getrlimit(2) for details.
A successful call can legitimately return -1. To detect an error, set errno to 0 before the call, and check whether it is nonzero after nice() returns -1.
Note: the addition of the "autogroup" feature in Linux 2.6.38 means that the nice value no longer has its traditional effect in many circumstances. For details, see sched(7).
Since glibc 2.2.4, the nice() wrapper function provided by glibc provides conformance to POSIX.1 by calling getpriority(2) to obtain the new nice value, which is then returned to the caller.

RAPT-FILE(1) RAPT-FILE(1) NAME rapt-file - APT package searching utility -- search remotely SYNOPSIS rapt-file [ options ] [ action ] [ pattern ] DESCRIPTION rapt-file is a command line tool for searching files in packages for the APT package management system. It differs from apt-file in that it works with remote package indices, so it doesn't need to download full Contents files. find Alias for search. list List the contents of a package matching the pattern pattern. This action is very close to the dpkg -L command except the package does not need to be installed or fetched. search Search in which package a file is included. A list of all packages containing the pattern pattern is returned. rapt-file will only search for filenames, not directory names. This is due to the format of the Contents files it searches. show Alias for list. OPTIONS -a, --architecture architecture Sets architecture to architecture. This option is useful if you search a package for a different architecture from the one installed on your system. It determines how the $ARCH variable in sources.list is expanded (but it does not influence the search in any other way). -l, --package-only Only display package name; do not display file names. -v, --verbose Run rapt-file in verbose mode. -h, --help Display a short help screen. FILES /etc/apt/sources.list Locations to fetch package contents from. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ Directory with additional sources.list snippets AUTHOR rapt-file was written by Enrico Zini<EMAIL_ADDRESS>May 2012 RAPT-FILE(1)

WATCH: From Mosul to Baghdad, a song of solidarity and resistance
by AFPMOSUL,IRAQ: While Baghdad anti-regime protesters have clashed with riot police, their supporters in Mosul are using art to fight for change, with a new take on the resistance anthem “Bella Ciao“.
In a viral music video clip, the World War II-era Italian anti-fascist song has been tweaked to Blaya Chara — meaning “no way out” in Iraqi dialect.
It captures the fatalistic sentiment many young Iraqis hold towards their violence-torn homeland.
“I don’t have heating, not a cent to spend. Why would I even study if there’s no way out?” sings one gaunt performer, huddled under a blanket in a gutted building.
Others in the video, which has scored hundreds of thousands of hits despite frequent internet blackouts, hold up signs that read “Justice for our martyrs” and “I want my rights.”
Like activists elsewhere, they borrow from popular culture, donning the red jumpsuits and Dali masks of the Spanish Netflix hit series La Casa de Papel (Money Heist), which has revived the Italian classic.
Much of Iraq, especially Baghdad and the Shiite-majority south, has been gripped by a wave of street protests since October 1, decrying a lack of jobs, poor public services and endemic corruption.
But in Mosul, a mostly-Sunni city recaptured from the Islamic State (IS) militant group two years ago, social and political pressures have kept demonstrators from coming out in large numbers.
“The song is an artistic message of solidarity from Mosul to the protesters to say: our hearts are with you,” said 25-year-old Abdulrahman al-Rubaye, the clip’s director.
The video opens with a despondent mechanic played by Mohammed Bakri, 26, who heads the team of 14 performers that produced the song.
“We bought costumes, painted our own masks and filmed in the streets or in our own homes,” said the father-of-two who founded the performance troupe in 2016.
He has dreamed of taking to the streets to demonstrate like his compatriots in Baghdad and the south, but said that “our situation in Mosul is exceptional and we can’t protest”.
Sunni communities in the country’s north and west have indeed stayed clear of the protest movement, despite the desperate state of public services there after years of war and neglect.
IS swept through their hometowns in 2014 and the three-year battle to oust the militants left neighbourhoods and public infrastructure in ruins.
But residents say any street protests would be met with accusations that they are sympathetic to IS, which could lead to a counter-terrorism charge punishable by death.
Or, they fear, they could be painted as fans of Saddam Hussein, the brutal ex-dictator deposed in the US-led invasion of 2003 which paved the way for the current political system.
Authorities in Baghdad have already cast the protests as a nefarious conspiracy seeking to bring ‘chaos’ to Iraq.
Without the street as an option, Bakri turned to the screen.
“With art, we can support the movement our own way. I think that this way, we can speak in the name of all Iraqis,” he said.
The team was able to produce the video in a mere 12 hours and upload it just before authorities cut off the internet.
For Jihan Mazouri, a 23-year-old student and actress, her role in the film was “the least she could do” to back peaceful protesters further south.
Her character, dressed in a black robe and veil covering half her face, desperately pulls handfuls of tissues as she sings about “a future with no way out”.
“People have died or gotten hurt in these peaceful protests, so whatever we do is incomparable to their huge national sacrifices,” she said.
After the success of the first video, Mazouri and the rest of the team decided to see the beating heart of Baghdad’s protests with their own eyes.
They travelled to the protest epicentre, the capital’s Tahrir (Liberation) Square, where they performed a classic Arabic ballad by Lebanese diva Fayrouz.
But, in another creative twist, their version is an ode to the now-famous tuk-tuks, three-wheeled rickshaws that have ferried wounded protesters to field clinics or delivered food and water to those occupying Tahrir.
Well over 300 people have lost their lives to bullets and often lethal tear gas canisters, and activists say they are being threatened, kidnapped and assaulted.
In Mosul, Rubaye, the director, said Iraqis are becoming more brave.
“People have confidence in themselves and we are not silent about what happens to us,” he said.
“We are not afraid anymore.”

TRTorch Getting Started - LeNet ¶
Overview ¶
In the practice of developing machine learning models, there are few tools as approachable as PyTorch for developing and experimenting in designing machine learning models. The power of PyTorch comes from its deep integration into Python, its flexibility and its approach to automatic differentiation and execution (eager execution). However, when moving from research into production, the requirements change and we may no longer want that deep Python integration and we want optimization to get the best performance we can on our deployment platform. In PyTorch 1.0, TorchScript was introduced as a method to separate your PyTorch model from Python, make it portable and optimizable. TorchScript uses PyTorch’s JIT compiler to transform your normal PyTorch code which gets interpreted by the Python interpreter to an intermediate representation (IR) which can have optimizations run on it and at runtime can get interpreted by the PyTorch JIT interpreter. For PyTorch this has opened up a whole new world of possibilities, including deployment in other languages like C++. It also introduces a structured graph based format that we can use to do down to the kernel level optimization of models for inference.
When deploying on NVIDIA GPUs TensorRT, NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Optimization SDK and Runtime is able to take models from any major framework and specifically tune them to perform better on specific target hardware in the NVIDIA family be it an A100, TITAN V, Jetson Xavier or NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Accelerator. TensorRT performs a couple sets of optimizations to achieve this. TensorRT fuses layers and tensors in the model graph, it then uses a large kernel library to select implementations that perform best on the target GPU. TensorRT also has strong support for reduced operating precision execution which allows users to leverage the Tensor Cores on Volta and newer GPUs as well as reducing memory and computation footprints on device.
TRTorch is a compiler that uses TensorRT to optimize TorchScript code, compiling standard TorchScript modules into ones that internally run with TensorRT optimizations. This enables you to continue to remain in the PyTorch ecosystem, using all the great features PyTorch has such as module composability, its flexible tensor implementation, data loaders and more. TRTorch is available to use with both PyTorch and LibTorch.
Learning objectives ¶
This notebook demonstrates the steps for compiling a TorchScript module with TRTorch on a simple LeNet network.
Content ¶
## 1. Requirements
Follow the steps in
notebooks/README
to prepare a Docker container, within which you can run this notebook.
## 2. Creating TorchScript modules
Here we create two submodules for a feature extractor and a classifier and stitch them together in a single LeNet module. In this case this is overkill but modules give us granular control over our program including where we decide to optimize and where we don’t. It is also the unit that the TorchScript compiler operates on. So you can decide to only convert/optimize the feature extractor and leave the classifier in standard PyTorch or you can convert the whole thing. When compiling your module to TorchScript, there are two paths: Tracing and Scripting.
[2]:
import torch
from torch import nn
import torch.nn.functional as F
class LeNetFeatExtractor(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super(LeNetFeatExtractor, self).__init__()
self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(1, 6, 3)
self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(6, 16, 3)
def forward(self, x):
x = F.max_pool2d(F.relu(self.conv1(x)), (2, 2))
x = F.max_pool2d(F.relu(self.conv2(x)), 2)
return x
class LeNetClassifier(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super(LeNetClassifier, self).__init__()
self.fc1 = nn.Linear(16 * 6 * 6, 120)
self.fc2 = nn.Linear(120, 84)
self.fc3 = nn.Linear(84, 10)
def forward(self, x):
x = torch.flatten(x,1)
x = F.relu(self.fc1(x))
x = F.relu(self.fc2(x))
x = self.fc3(x)
return x
class LeNet(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super(LeNet, self).__init__()
self.feat = LeNetFeatExtractor()
self.classifer = LeNetClassifier()
def forward(self, x):
x = self.feat(x)
x = self.classifer(x)
return x
Let us define a helper function to benchmark a model.

def benchmark(model, input_shape=(1024, 1, 32, 32), dtype='fp32', nwarmup=50, nruns=10000):
input_data = torch.randn(input_shape)
input_data = input_data.to("cuda")
if dtype=='fp16':
input_data = input_data.half()
print("Warm up ...")
with torch.no_grad():

When compiling your module to TorchScript, there are two paths: Tracing and Scripting.
Tracing ¶
Tracing follows the path of execution when the module is called and records what happens. This recording is what the TorchScript IR will describe. To trace an instance of our LeNet module, we can call torch.jit.trace with an example input.
[6]:
traced_model = torch.jit.trace(model, torch.empty([1,1,32,32]).to("cuda"))
traced_model
[6]:
LeNet(
original_name=LeNet
(feat): LeNetFeatExtractor(
original_name=LeNetFeatExtractor
(conv1): Conv2d(original_name=Conv2d)
(conv2): Conv2d(original_name=Conv2d)
)
(classifer): LeNetClassifier(
original_name=LeNetClassifier
(fc1): Linear(original_name=Linear)
(fc2): Linear(original_name=Linear)
(fc3): Linear(original_name=Linear)
)
)
[7]:
benchmark(traced_model)

Iteration 10000/10000, ave batch time 0.59 ms
Input shape: torch.Size([1024, 1, 32, 32])
Output features size: torch.Size([1024, 10])
Average batch time: 0.59 ms
Scripting ¶
Scripting actually inspects your code with a compiler and generates an equivalent TorchScript program. The difference is that since tracing simply follows the execution of your module, it cannot pick up control flow for instance, it will only follow the code path that a particular input triggers. By working from the Python code, the compiler can include these components. We can run the script compiler on our LeNet module by calling torch.jit.script.
[8]:
model = LeNet().to("cuda").eval()
script_model = torch.jit.script(model)

I had obtained a bottle of 60 Meperidine/Promethazine Tablets. I got them due to a minor surgery I had about a week ago. I didn't really have much pain from the surgery, so I decided to save the pills for later. A couple nights ago, I took 5 of the pills (250 mg Meperidine and 125 mg Promethazine).
Anyways, about 15 minutes after I took the five pills, I felt great--the nice opiate buzz and euphoria. The only thing different is that I was not itching, nor was I constipated. The effects lasted two hours or so, and it was great. The Promethazine provides a drowsy effect, and the Demerol provides the euphoria. Overall, I would say this drug is very good. It is, unsurprisingly, highly regulated like Oxycodone. I would give Meperidine!

The November 2006 issue of Computing in Science and Engineering includes an article I wrote titled "Software Carpentry: Getting Scientists to Write Better Code by making Them More Productive". It's available to subscribers only on the magazine's web site, but they have kindly given me permission to post it here. I think it's out too late to bring November's stats up above October's, but I could be surprised.

Apple Card Guide: All of the 3% Cash Back Merchants (Update)
by Andrew OrrApple is treating Apple Card as a service, not just a physical product. The company will continue to add merchants to its 3% Daily Cash back program as a way to entice customers to use it. We will continually update this list as new merchants are added.
3% Apple Pay Merchants
In order to actually get 3% cash back, you still need to use Apple Pay with your Apple Card as the main payment option. Putting your Apple Card number into one of these services will only get you the 1% physical card cash back.

Omotoso arrives at court dressed in Springbok jersey
by Algoa FMThe controversial Nigerian pastor Timothy Omotoso and his two co-accused made a brief appearance in the Port Elizabeth High Court on Thursday.
The 60-year-old Televangelist who is usually dressed in flamboyant outfits arrived at court on Thursday with a Springbok Jersey and a matching scarf.
During their last appearance in October, the Supreme Court of Appeal rejected an application for leave to appeal an earlier ruling in the High Court related to the jurisdiction of the court to hear the charges against him that were allegedly committed outside its jurisdiction.
Omotoso and his co-accused Lusanda Sulani and Zukiswa Sitho have now petitioned the Constitutional Court.
The case was postponed to the 28th of January 2020 pending the outcome of the Constitutional Court.
The three are facing more than 90 charges that include rape and human trafficking.
Omotoso has been in custody since his arrest in April of 2017, so he's been languishing at St Albans Prison for nearly two and a half years now, while his co-accused are both out on bail.
A large group of supporters from an organisation called "Christians of South Africa" arrived with a custom made banner where they make several allegations against the State.


sphinx.ext.ifconfig
– Include content based on configuration¶
This extension is quite simple, and features only one directive:
Warning
This directive is designed to control only content of document. It could not control sections, labels and so on.
-
.. ifconfig::
¶ Include content of the directive only if the Python expression given as an argument is
True
, evaluated in the namespace of the project’s configuration (that is, all registered variables fromconf.py
are available).For example, one could write
.. ifconfig:: releaselevel in ('alpha', 'beta', 'rc') This stuff is only included in the built docs for unstable versions.
To make a custom config value known to Sphinx, use
add_config_value()
in the setup function inconf.py
, e.g.:def setup(app): app.add_config_value('releaselevel', '', 'env')
The second argument is the default value, the third should always be
'env'
for such values (it selects if Sphinx re-reads the documents if the value changes).

Web-App Now and Future
Future - Bright Side
Pros of Web-apps
No install
Always up-to-date
Compatible with every CPU and OS
Accessible from anywhere if online
Easy sharing: single copy on the server
Free from some technical problems (e.g. desktop crash, data backups)
Centralized security management
Web-App Now and Future
Future - Hurdles
Cons of Web-apps
Unavailable when offline
Poor access to local resources (files, printers, scanners, etc)
Poor performance

Object.observe
Basic Concept
Declares a callback to observe changes of an object
var model = {};
Object.observe(model, function (changes) {
changes.forEach(function (c) {
alert('\n name: ' + c.name +
'\n type: ' + c.type +
'\n old value: ' + c.oldValue +
'\n cur value: ' + c.object[c.name]);
});
});
Ex-1. Observing an object with Object.observe
Synthetic notification and observing arrays
Spec: ECMAScript 7
Supports: Chrome 36+, Node harmony
Object.observe
Without O.o
Floods of MVC frameworks.
Mostly, they are based on
Container object (e.g. Ember.js): incompatible objects, or
Dirty-checking (e.g. AngularJS): bad algorithmic behavior
Object.observe
Without O.o - Ember
var person= Ember.Object.create({
firstName: "Gildong",
lastName: "Hong",
fullName: function () {
return this.get("firstName") + this.get("lastName");
}.property("firstName", "lastName")
});
perseon.get("fullName"); // person.fullName
perseon.set("lastName", "Go"); // person.lastName = "Go"

Basic Concept
Define reusable custom HTML elements (widgets)
Presentation details are hidden at their use sites
Base of Polymer
Four pillars
Custom Elements: Register new HTML element names to the browser
HTML Templates: Define presentation layers of the elements with "holes"
Shadow DOM: Glue templates to the elements with encapsulation
HTML Imports: Single definition and multiple uses
Spec: WHATWG, W3C
Supports: Chrome 36+, Opera 25+, Android 37+, Chrome for Android 38+
(ref. Can-I-Use )
Custom Elements @ Web Components
Basic Concept
Register a new HTML element name (tag name) to a browser using document.registerElement()
var NameTag = document.registerElement('name-tag');
document.body.appendChild(new NameTag());
Ex-5. Registering a new element name
document.registerElement(...) returns the constructor of the new element
Element names must have a dash for forward compatibility
Custom Elements @ Web Components
Extending Another Element
Can extend other element (default: HTMLElement)
document.registerElement('extended-button', {
prototype: Object.create(HTMLButtonElement.prototype)
});
Ex-6. Extending another element
Custom Elements @ Web Components
Lifecycle Callbacks
HTML Templates @ Web Components
Basic Concept
A new element <template>
Hidden: Parsed but not rendered
Inactivated: Scripts don't run, images don't load, audio doesn't play, etc
Ex-8. HTML template
HTML Templates @ Web Components
How to Use
Clone its content (tmpl.content, a DocumentFragment object)
and add the clone to the DOM
var tmpl = document.querySelector('#mytemplate');
var clone = document.importNode(tmpl.content, true); // true: deep clone
document.body.appendChild(clone);
Ex-9.  Original code - Mixture of contents and presentation
Shadow DOM @ Web Components
Separating Presentation and Contents
Concentrate on true contents of name tags
It is a name tag
The name is 'Bob'
Shadow DOM @ Web Components

Service Workers
Hooking HTTP Requests + Controllable Cache
Hooks requests with URLs that match one of predefined URL prefixes
Acts as a client side proxy, especially for offline usage
Background processing while browser UI doesn't run
e.g. handling server push messages and system alarms
But, looks far from completion for this purpose
Spec: W3C

App Manifests
JSON file providing information about a Web-app
Name, author, icon, description, etc: To create a desktop icon
Start URL, display, orientation, etc: To indicate how to launch
The list of WebAPIs the app uses
for browsers incorporating Web runtime
For more familiar UX and native-like Web-apps
Launching by double-clicking icons, not by bookmarks
Accessing security-critical local resources:

Our mission is to build a safe, secure and healthy Africa one person at a time and our vision is to provide a structure with our website Rehab Africa for healing and wholesomeness!


As I progress through this course it will grow with new articles for both the
technical and cultural blogs. The technical blog will showcase new aspects and
understandings on my learnings as I progress through the foundation sprints. Whereas
the cultural blog will capture my views and reflections as a student and person
kicking off with Identity and values as these things normally do.
As always I am one who welcomes constructive criticism and feedback, so don't be afraid
to make contact.
Sprint 4 - My experiences with JavaScript
In this week's sprint we were asked to practice, practice and do a little more
practice with JavaScript. It was focused around introducing new (or newish)
principles, as well as doing coding katas. Yes katas, just like martial arts but
with repetitive coding practice. We were then asked to share some of our personal
stories on this blog post so here goes!
What simple problem did I get blocked on?
  I pondered over ...
Sprint 5 - Reflection on Foundations
For the last sprint of foundations the cultural blog is a double whammy. Firstly,
you have reflections on the core skills learnt over five weeks along with a
journal entry challenge, secondly you have the learning from the technical skills
over the whole foundation. So, without further ado, let's kick it off with the
journal exercise, a 2min rant by yours truly. With the lead in statement "What
surprised me the most about learning core is..." so lets start in 3,2,1 ..
The Journal Exercise
What surprised me the most about learning core is the adaptability of the ...


 He is not living up to the meaning of his name - which is highly good looking, admired and adored. You wince internally when you look at him. You know that you shouldn't judge him based on his appearance, but he is much older than you. He's in his late 50s, short, and bald. He's grinning at you, and he's missing most of his front teeth.  This is your future, he is your future.  You are going to be his second wife, his first wife is living in the same village as your oldest sister.
The wedding attendees are few - your father, Jamir's oldest son (who is older than you), and your uncle (on your father's side). The minister is speaking with a raspy voice, he sounds like he's been smoking for 50 years, when he turns to speak to you, it smells like it as well. The minister is making his opening remarks.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today..." you zone out and don't pay attention to what's said anymore.
Your thoughts drifts to your mother, and you hope that she's okay.
The minister gets to the part where you exchange of vows.
"And now, before God, our ancestors, and the circle of brothers and sisters gathered today, Rose Nelson and Jamir Powell will state their vows."
The minister indicates for you to speak. The words that have been carved into you since before you remember. But back when you were taught these vows, you were a naive young girl - who thought the man you'd say these words to would be the love of your life. Your soulmate. A man that you'd share everything with, for the rest of your life. In your dreams the man was your age, and didn't have a wife, or children. You freeze for a moment, but you see your father's glare in the corner of your eye. You take a deep breathe and hesitate a moment before speaking.
 It's made with herbs from Africa, our Motherland and includes Grains of Paradise, to represent the haven I will create for you to come home each day; Jasmine, for the sweet spirit that will fill our lives; and, cayenne, for the spice that will fill our...nights."
Everything has happened so quickly, you haven't had the time to reflect over what all of this really means.  You feel nauseous again. The minister then turns towards your future husband.
"And to you, my love, I offer mustard seeds, to represent the faith I have in you and in our love; allspice, because you have all the spice I could possibly ever need; and thyme, to represent my vow to love you forever." Jamir is grinning widely at you, he reminds you of a cat ready to pounce at the mouse he's caught.
You force yourself to meet his eyes. Jamir's son comes up to you holding two plain gold wedding bands, he hands you and your future husband the rings.

"Sorry." you whisper.
Jamir's son bends down to pick up the ring, he cocks an eyebrow when he's standing back up, and hands you the ring again.  You take a deep breathe to try and keep your voice from cracking and you reciprocate:
"With this ring, I thee wed."
The minister is glowing when he declares:
"I now pronounce you husband and wife."
"You may now kiss the bride."
You try not to flinch when Jamir is leaning forward to kiss you. He smells of old sweat, and a lot of cologne - he probably put on tons of cologne instead of properly washing up.   All your focus and energy are used to stop yourself from crying your eyes out. You want to sink through the ground and vanish. You don't know how you ended up in this situation. You try to tell yourself that you will be happy, but deep down you know that you won't be. The only way for you to be happy is to accept the fact that you're married, and that no other fate was possible for you. You haven't gone to school, you don't know how to read or write, you don't have any skills or other future prospects than to become somebody's wife.
The wedding party doesn't amuse you at all, everything is as in a haze for you. You're staring blanky ahead of you. The drums in the background can't pierce your thoughts. You're looking at Jamir, sitting besides you, eating. He's a slob, there's no other way to put it. He's eating, drinking, laughing at jokes that his friends tell him, and he's watching the people dancing to the beating of the drums. You feel disgusted that this is your future, your forever after. You have no idea where you'll end up living, if he's going to keep you with him in the city, or if you'll end up in some village as his wife and he'll occasionally come visit, just like your father did to your family. All too soon the party is over, and it's time for you and your new husband to consumate your wedding.
 You can't help to compare Jamir's townhouse, with your home. You and your family lived in on room and you slept on the floor. Jamir has a big bed, that has a mattress and several big fluffy pillows. You can't help to be in awe.
"Lie down" Jamir orders you.
 You're embarassed, trying to cover your body with your hands. You've never been naked in front of anybody before, and the past year you've entered puberty and started developing curves, and you don't know how to feel about your own body.
"Lie down" Jamir repeats, more forcefully this time.
 You feel tears starting to form in the corner of your eyes.
"Stop crying!" Jamir orders you and shakes you.
"Look at me" he grabs your chin to make you face him.
You don't want to look at him.
 You open your eyes, but turn your head around, and he seems satisfied with this. He doesn't hit you again.  It's painful, but you keep your eyes focused. Your mind is blank. You try not to think.

Refer to Quick Reference section on org.seasar.remoting.axis.ServiceDef for details. Mapping DefinitionWhen Axis is used and argument type and return type of a service is application specific JavaBeans, whose type are not directly supported by JAX-JPC, values to be passed to these types must be <component name="Hello" class="org.seasar.remoting.axis.examples.ex02.HelloImpl"> <meta name="axis-service"> <component class="org.seasar.remoting.axis.server.ServiceDef"> <initMethod name="addTypeMapping"> <arg> <component type="org.seasar.remoting.axis.server.TypeMappingDef"> <property name="...">・・・</property> </component> </arg> </initMethod> </component> </meta> <property name="..."> ...</property> </component>
Refer to Quick Reference section on org.seasar.remoting.axis.TypeMappingDef for details. WSDD Service PropertiesWhen Web service has a WSDL and Java implementation class was generated by using Axis's WSDL2Java, web service may be deployed by specifying <component name="Magazine" class="org.seasar.remoting.axis.examples.ex05.MagazineSoapBindingImpl"> <meta name="axis-service"> "org/seasar/remoting/axis/examples/ex05/deploy.wsdd" </meta> ... </component> In this situation, because Java type and XML type mapping, which are specified when executing WSDL2Java, are included in Client ConfigurationS2Axis allows web services to be used as a component. Dynamic CallTo call service through Java interface, write dicon file as follows: <!-- Web service proxy --> <component name="Echo" class="org.seasar.remoting.axis.examples.ex01.Echo"> <aspect>remoting</aspect> </component> <!-- Remote call interceptor --> <component name="remoting" class="org.seasar.remoting.common.interceptor.RemotingInterceptor"/> <!-- Axis connector --> <component name="connector" class="org.seasar.remoting.axis.connector.AxisConnector"> <property name="baseURL"> "http://localhost:8080/s2-axis-examples/services/" </property> </component> <!-- Axis service --> <component class="org.apache.axis.client.Service" autoBinding="none"/> Proxy is necessary for each web service. Specify Java interface of web service in
Axis connector calls a web service through Axis service. In the above sample, Axis connector property is set to Axis service by S2's automatic binding. baseURL property is set to base URI of web service endpoint. In the actual communication, value specified in the name attribute of proxy's <component> element is appended to this base URI. Axis connector must have one Axis service uses SOAP protocol to communicate with other web services. Axis service requires at lease one <component> definition for each S2 container. Static CallTo call a service using stub generated by WSDL, create a dicon file as follows: <component class="org.seasar.axis.examples.ex05.Magazine"> locator.getMagazine() </component> <component name="locator" class="org.seasar.axis.examples.ex05.MagazineServiceLocator"/> Service locator is the class generated by WSDL2Java.
