I was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado and grew to understand the importance of how Congressional Districts are drawn and how that impacts the representation of communities not just in Southern Colorado, but across the state. I also understand the importance of public service, and engaging in how redistricting will shape our State's congressional districts for the next decade. While I am applying as a Democrat, I truly understand that it is in the interest of communities across our state, regardless of party, that we ensure a well balanced and fair process.
Throughout my career, I have worked with organizations that have sought to build common ground and find a path forward that is as inclusive as possible. Early in my career, I worked as a fellow with El Pomar Foundation helping to create a demand-driven approach to philanthropy across our state. This involved listening to the needs of communities across the state to inform how best the Foundation could contribute to solving issues that were relevant to different regions of Colorado. Later, working in the United States Senate, my work as legislative staff was not to tow party lines, but to ensure that the concerns and issues of constituents were accurately reflected in the legislative analysis and research that informed the decisions of the elected official. I strongly believe that the skill set I have obtained in my career demonstrates that I will dedicate my time on the commission to understanding, listening and impartiality to ensure Coloradans can be fairly represented.
Over the course of my academic studies I have developed keen analytical, logic and reasoning skills. From literary analysis to economic and statistical analysis, I have been prepared to deploy these skills in how to formulate, execute and assess policy, legislation and economic outcomes. In addition to training and application of these abilities, I have also become adept at consuming large amounts of data and information and synthesizing it all to distill it and present it in a way that is consumable to and true to the original sources of information.

Early tests call Google Stadia's quality into question, and that's a shame
The visual quality just isn't that good.
by Asher MadanGoogle Stadia is a cloud game streaming service that promises the best visuals given its power advantage over the competition. When the service was first revealed, the company said that it featured 10.7 teraflops (tflops) of computational power compared to 6 tflops for the Xbox One X and 4.2 tflops for the PlayStation 4 Pro. Naturally, gamers assumed that this would mean that every game was going to be at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second (FPS). However, a recent analysis by Digital Foundry revealed that that wasn't the case at all for many major titles.
Destiny 2 runs at native 4K resolution on Xbox One X, but it's locked to 30 FPS. Since the base Xbox One version also runs at 30 FPS, the team probably didn't want to give any players an advantage over the rest. On Stadia, Destiny 2 hits 60 FPS, but it's locked to 1080p resolution. This is a curious decision by Bungie because hardware that has 10.7 tflops should be able to run Destiny 2 at 4K 60 FPS. Hopefully, the team will change this with a future patch.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is another curious case. If you play it in Google Chrome on PC, the game renders at 60 FPS. Unfortunately, the image quality is locked to 1080p. Jumping to a Chromecast Ultra should give you a 4K picture, but it doesn't. The game looks blurry and Digital Foundry found that it's running at 1440p resolution and 30 FPS on Google Stadia's servers. Again, it's unclear why that's the case given the powerful hardware.
The outlet hypothesized that it was due to developers' unfamiliarity with the devkit and it would take some time for them to take complete advantage of it. Either way, the company shouldn't be boasting about "up to 4K" and "60 FPS" when many games don't even take advantage of the hardware. It seems like the team is unaware of the fact that Bungie and Rockstar Games aren't rendering their games at 4K resolution on Stadia. It doesn't matter what the reason it, consumers will think this is a corporation lying to them again.
Hopefully, Google will work with these developers to fix the problems. Since Stadia may be many gamers' first introduction to cloud gaming, it's not making a great impression. Social media is flooded with messages where customer service won't cancel preorders, how many gamers are blurry and only a handful "look like 4K," and much more. Google needs to tackle all of these complaints head-on because the Stadia launch looks awfully familiar to what happened with the Xbox One all those years ago. We all know how that turned out.

A beeswarm is a type of one-dimensional scatter plot where points are even spaced apart, horizontally, to show the volume of points at a given y-value.
The data used to create this plot is from Jenny Bryan’s gapminder
package. The dataset is actually an excerpt of the original Gapminder data. This smaller dataset includes data for life expectancy, GDP (Gross domestic product) per capita, and population, for 142 countries of 5 continents between the years 1952 and 2007 (in increments of 5 years).
The potential audience of this graph might include a healthcare researcher that is studying life expectancy trends and changes in different continents.
I wanted to explore the life expectancies for each of the five continents included in the gapminder dataset. Since there are a tremendous amount of rows in the full dataset, I limited the plots to only the life expectancies reported in the earliest and latest year represented: 1952 and 2007. I chose a beeswarm plot so that the number of countries for a given continent and a given year that have the same life expectancy reported would be relatively easy to discern in the plots, which would in turn also make comparing the 1952 beeswarms and the 2007 beeswarms easier.
Since a beeswarm plot is intended to visualize the distribution of data for multiple categories, look for how the shape of the plot changes as the y-value changes, which y-values have the largest amount of points for a given category, and how the shapes of the plots are different or are similar to the other plots. Since this plot has two subplots, look for how the plots for each continent have changed from 1952 to 2007.
Annotation: Including annotations that provide context and explanation for any outliers could be useful. Also, since the number of dots varies between continents, having annotation that explictly states the n values for each continent might be helpful.
Color: If there were more points plotted you could use color to distinguish which points fall above and which fall below the dashed line representing the ‘global mean life expectancy’.
General Composition: Instead of having the plots for the two years be separated, plotting the beeswarms with both years side by side for a given continent could make comparing the plots easier.
Another plot type that can be used to visualize the distribution of data is a strip chart. A strip chart is also a one-dimensional scatter plot. However, unlike a beeswarm plot, a strip chart allows points to overlap when they have the same y-value. Another plot type used to visualize the distribution of data is a box plot. Box plots are used to visualize the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum for a group or groups of data.
To create this visualization I first filtered the gapminder
dataset so that it only included data for the years 1952 and 2007. I then added a column containing the average life expectancy across of the countries in the five continents for both 1952 and 2007. To create the points that make up the beeswarms I used ggplot2::geom_dotplot
and used facet_wrap()
to create subplots for the two years. I then added horizontal, dashed lines with ggplot2::geom_hline
to mark the average ‘global’ life expectancy.

Using this structure eliminates the need to skip synapses that have undergone lazy deletion from the main (allEdgesDevice) synapse structure. The forward map is re-computed during each network restructure (once per epoch) to ensure that all synapse pointers for a neuron are stored contiguously.

Before you begin
This class uses labs based on Xamarin.Forms to demonstrate cross-platform capabilities on iOS, Android and Windows. To complete the coding exercises, you will need a Xamarin development environment with either a simulator/emulator or a device to run the exercise on. Please read the setup requirements if you need help installing the Xamarin development environment.
Overview
This is the first of two classes on consuming web services in your mobile applications. This class covers the available network types and how to detect which ones are available to your application and then dives into consuming REST services with HttpClient
.
Lecture
XAM150 - Consuming REST-based Web Services.
Objectives
- Obtain the device's network capabilities
- Introduce REST
- Consume REST services with Xamarin
- Integrate with platform-specific network features
Exercises
- Determine the network connectivityExercise
In this exercise, you will create a Xamarin.Forms application to detect the current network state for iOS, Android or Windows and display relevant detals about the connection. - Communicating with a Book ServiceExercise
Next, you will create a Xamarin.Forms application to consume an existing REST service which manages a library of books. You will authenticate with the service, retrieve existing books, add new books, update books and delete books from your bookshelf. - Use the native platform network stackExercise
In this final group exercise, we will modify the bookshelf client to use the native platform's networking stack to improve the performance of the network activity and allow us to integrate tighter to the platform.
Additional resources
Here are the Frequently Asked Questions about REST-based web services.


Ohio detective in 'grave' condition after shot twice in face during drug raid
A police detective was critically wounded Monday night after being shot during a drug raid in Dayton, Ohio.
The Dayton Police Department detective, part of a Drug Enforcement Administration task force, was shot while serving a drug-related search warrant at a residence just before 7 p.m. local time. He was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
No one else was injured, according to Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl.
Officer Jorge Del Rio, a 30-year veteran of the force, was shot twice in the face, and the bullets "penetrated deep," according to the department. As of Tuesday afternoon, he was described as being in "grave" condition and "under advanced life support," the department said.
"Today is a very difficult day for the Dayton Police Department and our federal partners," Biehl told reporters at a press conference Monday night. "As we move forward tonight, please keep this officer, his family, our department, the DEA and the entire community in your thoughts, prayers and care."
Investigators have searched the residence and are interviewing several people.
Three weapons, each with 30-round magazines, were recovered at the home along with large amounts of suspected fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid, marijuana and cash, according to Biehl.
The suspected shooter, Nathan Goddard, was charged with felonious assault on an agent and two others are facing federal drug conspiracy charges.
ABC News' Karma Allen contributed to this report.

Cars -> Electric cars, Appliances -> Smart Appliances, Phones -> Smartphones (can we still call those phones?), Lights -> LED, Wires&Cables -> Wireless, Computers that can display text -> Computers that can simulate the whole universe in VR (not really), Money -> Cryptocurrencies, Houses -> Tiny houses, WEB -> WEB2.0 (Graphical) -> WEB3.0 (Apps), Email -> Email. Yup, despite all the changes elsewhere, email hasn’t changed.
i beg to differ
Well, of course, it has changed, there was an evolution, a few small incremental updates. Email clients are essentially web browsers, and emails, nowadays, essentially static webpages. Because of this, emails have gotten prettier with time, following the advance of web design. Email clients have gotten smarter, with SPAM filtering, Smart mailboxes, contacts, etc. In fact, for the majority of people, their web browser is their email client. That’s right, webmail. It kinda feels full-circle-y.
except, not
At its core features, modern email is still the same old email. First, let’s consider the UI : Most, if not all, email clients display mailboxes on the left sidebar, besides a top to bottom list of email, showing the title and the sender’s address. When you write an email, you need more information than in other massaging system :
- The recipient’s address. Some clients have contacts baked-in, some of which you can import/export contacts lists and some simply don’t have any contact system.
- A Subject. This actually makes me angry. A Subject needs to be short, and set the tone for the email’s content. Also, it can’t be too vague. It really doesn’t need your name or the date, because the recipient already know that information from metadata. And it cannot be empty. I’m always deeply puzzled as to what to put in a title. Emails should be self-explanatory. Final rant : why put it on top, as one of the first things to fill? When you write a letter, you normally decide on the title at the end, after all your thoughts have been explained.
- The content. Writing an email is still mostly text. Of course you can send links, images, even short videos and on some clients you can go full Microsoft-Word-Clipart-style on it. Even with all that, it’s still missing a dynamic WYSIWYG editor. Also 10Mb size limit? smartphone pictures are bigger than that.
why would i write an email?
Writing email is mostly like sending a physical mail. You write something, send it and you never know when the recipient is going to read it. On most social networks, you can leave messages to others, messages that can be read in the future. BUT, emails aren’t social networks, you don’t NEED to be trapped inside the email’s network in order for it to work. The only thing you need is an address, like a webpage. And it works from everywhere, with everybody.
peaked or left behind
Will emails get better? I think not. For the moment, it is perfect for what we do with it and will only get displaced when a new paradigm shift will occur. Yes, it’s usage has reduced since social networks are prevailing, but we still can’t imagine a world without it.

Name: Metric: Scale:
This matrix diagram visualizes large-scale white matter connectivity in the human brain. The connectivity model was derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and tractography as follows. First, A high-resolution T1 MRI was parcellated into gray matter regions using Freesurfer, then streamline fiber tractography was performed on a diffusion MRI. Next, fibers beginning and terminating near gray matter areas were mapped to pairs of regions from the Desikan-Killany Atlas, and a variety of metrics of connectivity strength were computed from combinations of fiber length and diffusion indices. These metrics have been found to be especially sensitive to white matter integrity . This visualization includes the mean and variance of these connectivity metrics across a population of 80 normal subjects.
Each colored cell represents the value of a connectivity metric between a pair of gray matter areas, where darkness of a cell is mapped according to the scale and the metric value. Scales specify how the connectivity metrics map to cell color, and the scale can be selected in a list above. Linear scales preserve relative differences between metric values but can wash out interesting details if there are outliers. Using a logarithmic or exponential scale can give more emphasis to lower or high values, respectively. By default, the minimum and maximum metric values are mapped to the lightest and darkest colors, respectively. However, the slider above can be used to adjust the range of this mapping. Scales that begin "inv" will reverse the orientation of the mapping (making smaller values darker and bigger values lighter). Finally, a binary scale can be used to show the gross structure of the network by thresholding the data.
The names of the gray matter regions are shown along the border, and hovering over a cell will show its corresponding metric value and connecting region names. The cells may be reordered lexicographically by region name or numerically by the column sum, min or max of the connectivity metric.
Built with d3.js and derived from this example.

Export digitToWord
, digits
and wordNumber
.
module WordNumber ( digitToWord , digits , wordNumber ) where
import
some arrow functions and Data.List
's intercalate
.
import Control.Arrow (arr, (***), (>>>)) import Data.List (intercalate)
Given a digit, digitsToWord
returns its corresponding English word, e.g.
digitToWord 3 == "three"
digitToWord :: Int -> String
A valid digit is a natural number less than or equal to nine, i.e. \(\forall n \in \mathbb{N}\ n \le 9\).
digitToWord 0 = "zero" digitToWord 1 = "one" digitToWord 2 = "two" digitToWord 3 = "three" digitToWord 4 = "four" digitToWord 5 = "five" digitToWord 6 = "six" digitToWord 7 = "seven" digitToWord 8 = "eight" digitToWord 9 = "nine"
N.B. The book only specifies 1
through 9
, but 0
is included here for
completeness.
Any other Int
is invalid.
digitToWord _ = error "Invalid digit"
Given an Int
, digits
returns a list of its digits, e.g.
digits 123 == [1,2,3]
digits :: Int -> [Int] digits n | n >= 10 = go $ n `divMod` 10 | otherwise = [n] where go :: (Int, Int) -> [Int] go = digits *** (:[]) >>> arr uncurry (++)
Given an Int
, wordNumber
returns a String
composed of the name of each
digit, separated by hyphens, e.g.
wordNumber 123 == "one-two-three"
wordNumber :: Int -> String wordNumber = intercalate "-" . map digitToWord . digits

Before uSDLC can help us with the design we need to have a high level concept on how our project will look. Without this our design process lacks direction. There is a process of consideration of different options and decisions that need to be made first. If we document the process here they provide a starting point for the design and a perspective on the decisions made for a clearer understanding of the project.
