Theresa May told by Conservative MPs to set out her resignation plans by the end of today
Theresa May has been told by Conservative MPs that she has until 16:00 (BST) this afternoon to spell out her resignation plans, or risk being forced out of office within weeks. May is currently only committed to quitting once she has passed a Brexit deal through the Parliament – an event which currently looks unlikely and could take many months.
If May refuses to spell out the details of her departure plans today, then the executive of the 1922 has the power to change leadership election rules, meaning Conservative MPs could hold a no-confidence vote in the prime minister which could see her leaving office within weeks.
The prime minister’s Deputy David Lidington also signalled yesterday that she would stay at least until the summer recess, meaning any leadership contest would unlikely be completed until the autumn. May could make an offer to Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn to accept a “soft” Brexit deal which would keep the United Kingdom inside a customs union with the European Union until at least the next general election. However, the government has yet to make a meaningful offer to them, which goes significantly beyond the government’s existing Brexit policy.
Top tools for data analysts -- and the key skills they need to 'predict the future'
Predictive analytics is changing the way the world works. Now, a data analyst can now give an organisation the priceless gift of future vision. Predictive analytics gives a clear indication of where resources are best targeted. It identifies upcoming trends, and lets customer service teams know when customers will want to be contacted.
1) Familiarity with the enormously popular and efficient SQL database programming language.
2) The ability to think critically and make connections between disparate ideas.
3) The ability to communicate the results of data analysis clearly with business partners and other stakeholders, and in the framework of the organisation’s strategy.
4) Fluency in several other database scripting and statistical languages, such as Excel, Python and R.
5) A broader understanding of the workings of business, and the pressures on other departments.

Google unveiled a new augmented reality feature for Maps, for Pixel phones only now
Google Maps has new augmented reality features that will let users display directions directly over their surroundings using their smartphone camera. Google Maps AR is currently exclusive to Google Pixel smartphones, starting with the new Pixel 3a as well as the Pixel 3, and Pixel 3 XL. The feature will go live on Tuesday.
Google Maps AR is designed for walking directions. Once a destination is set, users can simply tap “Start AR” to activate the augmented reality features. Maps will use the Pixel camera to determine where you are, then show signs and arrows to guide you to your destination. The AR directions rely on Google Maps Street View, so the features will only work in outdoor areas that have been catalogued recently.
The AR feature should prove useful for orienting yourself when you’re in a new area, and might even help users pay more attention to their surroundings when tracking directions with Maps.
