Feedie The Feed
Hi! My name is Feedie The Feed. I'm a Ruby gem that enables you to aggregate RSS and Facebook pages feed with one entry point, wooop! Just feed me the link and I'll go get them for you, master! Rawr!
Technology
I should work on Ruby 2.2 and over. I'm built with great help from these cool gems: * feedjira - for RSS feed * koala - for the Facebook API * public_suffix - for parsing the links * nesty - for cute nested exceptions
Getting Started
Installing
You can just
gem install feedie_the_feed
and you're good to go! Although it may contain a slightly older version, so you can clone me (oh the 21st century), if you feel adventurous!
git clone git@github.com:krabique48/feedie_the_feed.git
Running the tests
Just run rake and watch it go green for RSpec and RuboCop!
rake
Documentation
Have my bro YARD generate the documentation for you
yard doc
Or just visit www.rubydoc.info/gems/feedie_the_feed/ for that matter.
How to use
try_me.rb
You can check try_me.rb
out, it's quite self-explanatory.
RSS
Very simple, create FeedieTheFeed::FeedGrabber object and use it's get method with a URL as a parameter:
@feed_grabber = FeedieTheFeed::FeedGrabber.new
feed = @feed_grabber.get(
'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/krabique48/' \
'feedie_the_feed/master/rss_test_sample'
)
(return format is explained below)
To use the gem with Facebook you'll have to use your Facebook AppID and Facebook secret key.The simplest way to provide those is to just have them in your environment variables as FACEBOOK_APPID and FACEBOOK_SECRET. This way, all you have to do is create a new instance of the FeedieTheFeed::FeedGrabber class and call it's get method with a URL to a Facebook page as a parameter.
@feed_grabber = FeedieTheFeed::FeedGrabber.new
@feed_grabber.get('https://www.facebook.com/ruby.programming')
Module method
You can also do this, without explicitly creating an object, as a shortcut.
FeedieTheFeed.get('https://www.facebook.com/ruby.programming')
It acts just like as if you have created a FeedieTheFeed::FeedGrabber instance, and called it's get instance method.
Facebook credentials priorities
Facebook AppID and secret key follow a priority rule:
get method parameters > object values > environment variables
So, you can also provide the Facebook credentials as parameters in the get method:
@feed_grabber = FeedieTheFeed::FeedGrabber.new
@feed_grabber.get(
'https://www.facebook.com/ruby.programming',
facebook_appid: '123',
facebook_secret: '123'
)
Or during object creation:
@feed_grabber = FeedieTheFeed::FeedGrabber.new(
facebook_appid: '123',
facebook_secret: '123'
)
@feed_grabber.get('https://www.facebook.com/ruby.programming')
Facebook posts limit
You can also set the amount of posts you want to get, similarly to Facebook credentials (it also follows the same priority rule):
@feed_grabber = FeedieTheFeed::FeedGrabber.new(facebook_posts_limit: 50)
or
@feed_grabber.get(some_url, facebook_posts_limit: 50)
and if you don't provide it at all, it shall default to 10.
Output format
So the get
method returns an array of hashes,
where each hash is either a Facebook page post or an RSS entry.
Hash keys
Facebook hashes would always have these keys:
'entry_id'
'url'
'published'
plus some additional ones that may not always be there, due to the nature of Facebook posts:
'title'
'summary'
'image'
'title'
, if not provided, will be automatically
generated based on 'summary'
, and will not exceed 80
characters (exactly like RoR truncate(80) method). For example,
summary: The Grand Finals of the #ManilaMasters will start in less than an hour. Newbee or Evil Geniuses, who are you rooting for?
will turn to
title: The Grand Finals of the #ManilaMasters will start is less than an hour...
RSS
With RSS, the only two keys that would be there no matter what are
entry_id
and url
, due to the nature of RSS.
Although, most of the time, some other keys will also be present:
'entry_id'
'title'
'summary'
'url'
'published'
'image'
Other utility methods
fb_appid_and_secret_key(facebook_appid, facebook_secret)
fb_appid_and_secret_key(facebook_appid, facebook_secret)
is
used to set the Facebook credentials for the object.
reset_fb_appid_and_secret_key!
reset_fb_appid_and_secret_key!
is used to reset the Facebook
credentials for the object.
fb_posts_limit(limit)
fb_posts_limit(limit)
is used to set the object's Facebook
posts limit (should be an integer from 1 to 100).
reset_fb_posts_limit!
reset_fb_posts_limit!
is used to reset the object's
Facebook posts limit.

So you want to start a skincare routine, but you have some questions: How many products do you have to use? Which ones are right for your skin? In what order should you be applying these products? And what do those products even do?
To get the most benefit out of regular skincare regimen, Dr. Ashley Magovern, board-certified dermatologist and owner and founder of Manhattan Dermatology, says to follow three simple steps: cleanse, treat, and moisturize. You're probably already familiar with cleansing and moisturizing, but what does "treating" your skin involve?
According to Dr. Magovern, it means using serums or creams packed full of skincare superheroes like vitamin C, retinol, alpha hydroxy acid, and more. "I think that adding a middle step in between the cleansing and moisturizing components is really important," says Dr. Magovern. "It can make a huge difference over time and in the health of your skin and just in the appearance and the aging of your skin."


The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
by L. Frank Baum
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children’s book written in 1900 by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W.W. Denslow. It was originally published by the George M. Hill company in Chicago, and has since been reprinted countless times, sometimes under the name The Wizard of Oz. The story chronicles the adventures of a girl named Dorothy in the land of Oz. It is one of the best-known stories in American popular culture and has been widely translated. Its initial success led to Baum’s writing and having published thirteen more Oz books.

Airship iOS SDK Migration Guide
Airship SDK 12.x to 13.0
Airship SDK 13 is a major update that splits the SDK into modules. In basic integration scenarios, apps can continue to use a single Airship framework, but as of SDK 13 it is now possible to create custom integrations by selecting feature modules. Most of the changes in this release reflect the restructuring that makes this possible.
Framework Changes
Renamed SDK frameworks and new submodules
AirshipKit.framework
has been replaced with Airship.framework
. This framework contains all the SDK
features, with the exception of location which remains an explicit opt-in. The core SDK and feature
module frameworks are as follows:
AirshipCore.framework
AirshipMessageCenter.framework
AirshipAutomaton.framework
AirshipLocation.framework
AirshipExtendedActions.framework
The renaming of AirshipKit.framework
means that imports for the basic use case have changed. To import
the full SDK in one step:
Objective-c:
@import Airship;
Swift:
import Airship
Location must be used with explicit submodules
AirshipLocation is an explicit opt-in, so that apps with no need for location services do not need to
include location description strings when submitting to Apple. Because of this, AirshipLocation not
compatible with Airship.framework
, and must be imported alongside the core SDK and explicit feature
modules. If your app is using location, the imports should look like the following:
Objective-c:
@import AirshipCore;
@import AirshipLocation;
// Include these for access to message center, automation and extended actions
@import AirshipMessageCenter;
@import AirshipAutomation;
@import AirshipExtendedActions;
Swift:
import AirshipCore
import AirshipLocation
// Include these for access to message center, automation and extended actions
import AirshipMessageCenter
import AirshipAutomation
import AirshipExtendedActions
Cocoapods
The UrbanAirship-iOS-SDK
, UrbanAirship-iOS-AppExtensions
and UrbanAirship-iOS-Location
podspecs are now
deprecated as of SDK 13.0, though the can continue to be used for SDK 12.x and below. For SDK 13 and above,
apps using Cocoapods should instead declare Airship dependencies on the Airship
podspec, which uses
subspecs for SDK feature modules. An example Podfile entry is shown below:
pod 'Airship', '~> 13.0'
# Uncomment to include location
# pod 'Airship/Location', '~> 13.0'
To declare feature module dependencies explicitly, simply use the subspecs:
pod 'Airship/Core', '~> 13.0'
pod 'Airship/MessageCenter', '~> 13.0'
pod 'Airship/Automation', '~> 13.0'
pod 'Airship/ExtendedActions', '~> 13.0'
# Uncomment to include location
# pod 'Airship/Location', '~> 13.0'
Similarly, app extensions should now depend on the AirshipExtensions
podspec:
pod 'AirshipExtensions', '~> 13.0'
Extensions
The AirshpAppExtensions.framework
has been renamed to AirshipExtensions.framework
. Additionally, the
class UAMediaContentExtension
has been renamed to UANotificationServiceExtension
. The functionality
of the class remains the same, but app extensions subclassing this will need to be updated to use the new class
name.
Shared Accessor Changes
Shared accessors for functionality such as Message Center and In-App Automation have changed from static
methods on UAirship
to singletons with a standardized shared
method.
Removed from UAirship
messageCenter
inAppMessageManager
Removed from UALocation
sharedLocation
Added
UAMessageCenter shared
UAInAppMessageManager shared
UALocation shared
Objective-c:
[UAMessageCenter shared]
[UAInAppMessageManager shared]
[UALocation shared]
Swift:
UAMessageCenter.shared()
UAInAppMessageManager.shared()
UALocation.shared()
Resource bundle changes
SDK 13 no longer has a dedicated resource bundle, but instead packages resources with their respective modules. To access the bundle containing the resources for a particular module, special classes have been added that provide accessors for each module.
Removed from UAirship
resources
Added
UAirshipCoreResources bundle
UAMessageCenterResources bundle
UAAutomationResources bundle
UAExtendedActionsResources bundle
Objective-c:
[UAirshipCoreResources bundle]
[UAMessageCenterResources bundle]
[UAAutomationResources bundle]
[UAExtendedActionsResources bundle]
Swift:
UAirshipCoreResources.bundle()
UAMessageCenterResources.bundle()
UAAutomationResources.bundle()
UAExtendedActionsResources.bundle()
Message Center changes
The Message Center codebase has been refactored in order to better support modularization. This includes the removal
of some legacy classes, such as UAInbox
, and a new protocol for Message Center UI, UAMessageCenterDisplayDelegate
,
that makes it easier to build custom interfaces that work more seamlessly with the Message Center module. In place of
UAInbox
, UAMessageCenter
provides access to objects such as the message list. Much of the out-of-the-box UI
functionality previously contained in UAMessageCenter
is now part of a new class, UADefaultMessageCenterUI
.
Removed
UAInbox
UAInboxDelegate
Added
UADefaultMessageCenterUI
UAMessageCenterDisplayDelegate
Migrating UAInboxDelegate protocol methods to UAMessageCenterDisplayDelegate protocol
showInbox
- Use
displayMessageCenterAnimated:
- Use
richPushMessageAvailable
- No equivalent in UAMessageCenterDisplayDelegate
showMessageForID:
- Use
displayMessageCenterForMessageID:animated:
- Use
Displaying the default Message Center
The methods display
and display:(BOOL)animated:
remain in UAMessageCenter
, which normally display the default
UI. However, the default UI functionality is now delegated to UADefaultMessageCenterUI
class, which implements the
UAMessageCenterDisplayDelegate
protocol. This means that if you set a custom display delegate on UAMessageCenter
,
the display methods in UAMessageCenter
will delegate to your class instead of the default UI.


ROS2 End-to-End Lane Following Model with SVL Simulator
This documentation describes applying a deep learning neural network for lane following in SVL Simulator. In this project, we use SVL Simulator for customizing sensors (one main camera and two side cameras) for a car, collect data for training, and deploying and testing a trained model.
This project was inspired by NVIDIA's End-to-End Deep Learning Model for Self-Driving Cars

Getting Started top#
First, clone this repository:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/lgsvl/lanefollowing.git
Next, pull the latest Docker image:
docker pull lgsvl/lanefollowing:latest
To build ROS2 packages:
docker-compose up build_ros
Now, launch the lane following model:
docker-compose up drive
(Optional) If you want visualizations, run drive_visual instead of drive:
docker-compose up drive_visual
That's it! Now, the lane following ROS2 node and the rosbridge should be up and running, waiting for SVL Simulator to connect.

To drive a car and publish messages over rosbridge in training mode: - Launch SVL Simulator - Create a simulation in Random Traffic mode - Select your preferred map (e.g., San Francisco) for training - Select your preferred vehicle (e.g., Lincoln2017MKZ) with the sensor configuration above - Make sure your vehicle has ROS2 bridge in the sensor setup - Run your simulation
Finally, to launch rosbridge and collect ROS2 node in a terminal:
docker-compose up collect
The node will start collecting data as you drive the car around. You should be able to check log messages in the terminal where the collect node is running. The final data is saved in lanefollowing/ros2_ws/src/lane_following/train/data/
as csv and jpg files.
Data preprocessing top#
Before start training your model with the data you collected, data preprocessing is required. This task includes: - Resize image resolutions from 1920 x 1080 to 200 x 112 - Crop top portion of images as we are mostly interested in road part of an image - Data augmentation by adding artificial bias to side camera images or flipping images - Data normalization to help the model converge faster - Split data into training and testing dataset
To run data preprocessing and obtain datasets for training:
docker-compose up preprocess
This will preprocess your data and write outputs in lanefollowing/ros2_ws/src/lane_following/train/data/hdf5/
into HDF5 format for better I/O performance for training.
Train a model top#
We use Keras with TensorFlow backend for training our model as an example. The hyperparameters such as learning rate, batch size, or number of epochs were chosen empirically. You can train a model as is but you are also welcome to modify the model architecture or any hyperparameters as you like in the code.
To start training:
docker-compose up train
After training is done, your final trained model will be in lanefollowing/ros2_ws/src/lane_following/train/model/{current-date-and-time-in-utc}.h5
and your model is ready to drive autonomously.
Drive with your trained model in SVL Simulator top#
Now, it's time to deploy your trained model and test drive with it using SVL Simulator. You can replace your trained model with an existing one in lanefollowing/ros2_ws/src/lane_following/model/model.h5
as this is the path for deployment.
To drive a car in autonomous mode: - Launch SVL Simulator - Create a simulation in Random Traffic mode - Select your preferred map (e.g., SingleLaneRoad) for driving - Select your preferred vehicle (e.g., Lincoln2017MKZ) with the sensor configuration above - You are free to remove both side cameras from the sensor JSON as the model only uses the center camera in driving mode - Make sure your vehicle has ROS2 bridge in the sensor setup - Run your simulation
To launch rosbridge and drive ROS2 node in a terminal:
docker-compose up drive
Or, if you want visualizations as well, run drive_visual instead:
docker-compose up drive_visual
Your car will start driving autonomously and try to mimic your driving behavior when training the model. Note that the model only controls steering inputs as you drive your vehicle forward.
Future Works and Contributing top#
Though the network can successfully drive and follow lanes on the bridge, there's still a lot of room for future improvements (i.e., biased to drive straight, afraid of shadows, few training data, and etc). - To improve model robustness collect more training data by driving in a wide variety of environments - Changing weather and lighting effects (rain, fog, road wetness, time of day) - Adding more road layouts and road textures - Adding more shadows on roads - Adding NPC cars around the ego vehicle - Predict the car throttle along with the steering angle - Take into accounts time series analysis using RNN (Recurrent Neural Network)


Espargaro "shocked" to match Marquez on new KTM MotoGP chassis
by David GruzPol Espargaro was "shocked" when he was able to match Marc Marquez's top time after just three laps with KTM's new chassis in MotoGP's post-season test in Valencia.
Espargaro tried a radical new KTM chassis on Tuesday, which he ended the opening day in eighth with, and had another specification at his disposal for Wednesday.
The Spaniard had an early crash with his first new chassis on day two, but then he switched to the latest frame, and he was able to move up to second in the order with only his third laptime, just a few hundredths off Marquez's benchmark effort.
Espargaro eventually fell back to eighth as the test concluded, having not improved his time again, but he said that it was a "shock" to match Marquez's time so early.
"This morning I started with the same [chassis] as yesterday, which is the one you all saw in color orange," Espargaro said.
"Then I crashed in the morning by my mistake.
"We had some problems with the bike but in that moment I did a mistake in the corner where also Brad [Binder] crashed.
"Then I needed to jump to the new chassis because I had no more bikes, with the hard compound on the rear, just to get the feeling back and to my surprise, I did 30.6s in my third push lap.
"I was shocked, surprised because we've been fast, in second place, same time of Marquez.
"After one crash with new leathers that I was not so comfortable on the bike, everything comes so easy.
"We [also] had a better pace for sure.
"We could take very good rhythm, [1m]31-lows many times on the session with used tyres, which we couldn't get during the weekend.
"[It was better at] turning, in traction, and better than the one of yesterday in stability."


this has been a very exciting 3 day bootcamp...I have learnt alot about html,CSS,javascript,bootstrap and jquerry.The bootcamp was held at Lakehub,Kisumu.It was coordinated by Cynthia Kasavuli a technical mentor at Moringa school.Moringa school has a great way of teaching emphasizing on the practical part mostly.
What do you think about the bootcamp experience?
Would you want to join Moringa School after hearing about the amaizing experience I have had in the last 3 days

Square Enix needs a stronger effort in customer service to retain more loyal subscribers
Customers lost to poor customer service is losing the company in almost a million in revenue per month
Customer service representatives tend to be the first to learn about why they are losing otherwise loyal customers
Square Enix customer support is perceived as a negative experience by customers voicing complaints on the official forums and related message boards
Customers spend too much time waiting for assistance
Customer service does not contour itself according to the customer's unique situation
One entry level monthly subscription Final Fantasy XIV is equal to $13 US Dollars.
As of June 2017, there are over 108 million subscriber accounts worldwide. Out of these 108 million, 465,000 are subscribed on a month to month basis.
Between May and June, roughly 60,000 subscribers did not retain their monthly subscriptions. This means if Square Enix can improve subscriber retention, they can recoup up to $780,000 USD in monthly subscription revenue.
Time spent for both phone and webchat support methods can take up to two hours to resolve the customer's problem.
There is a high risk of denying the customer any support without identification. This can happen for various reasons such as forgetting the answers to security questions. If the customer cannot verify their identity they must submit a notarized letter to Square Enix stating that they are the real owner of the account in question.
Addressing all three methods of support (phone, online chat, and email) will greatly reduce the time it takes to deal with the customer's problem and move on with their gaming experience.
Improved automated solutions database will reduce time spent by 90%. Lowering hold times for customers will reduce time spent by 80%. Quicker email-based assistance will reduce time spent by 83%.
More time saved means more time used to help other customers, and more customers can return to enjoying their game.
Better automated solutions can completely remove the customer from requiring assistance and cut down on hold times, and improved email solutions can remove confusion and streamline the customer support process.

This basic guide gives a small introduction into getting started with Weblets . It should ease the beginning on how to install Weblets and how to get started with the demo applications.
Each Weblets release can be obtained via a the Download location:Documents and files
It should contain everything, you need to get started with weblets
It should contain following packages
To get started simply drop the weblets-demo war file into the application server of your choice and then call
http://<url to application server>:<port>/weblets-demo/
You should get the demo page showcasing all features of weblets.
The single pages can be used as references for your own development.
Weblets can be injected via a maven build, however currently you only can do it from the java.net repository.
following entries have to be added to your Maven build file.
Under the repositories section
<repository> <id>maven2-repository.dev.java.net</id> <name>Java.net Repository for Maven</name> <url>http://download.java.net/maven/2/</url> <layout>default</layout> </repository>
Following dependency entries have to be added:
<dependency> <groupId>net.java.dev.weblets</groupId> <artifactId>weblets-api</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>net.java.dev.weblets</groupId> <artifactId>weblets-impl</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> </dependency>
To get started via Subversion you need three prerequisites
To get started with subversion simply check out one of the version tags from
https://weblets.dev.java.net/svn/weblets/tags/weblets-1.1
or the current trunk with the latest code from
https://weblets.dev.java.net/svn/weblets/trunk
example
svn checkout https://weblets.dev.java.net/svn/weblets/tags/weblets-1.1 <<<Weblets>>> --username username
example
svn checkout https://weblets.dev.java.net/svn/weblets/trunk <<<Weblets>>> --username username
For the username and password you need to give your java.net account username and password (both can be obtained for free), or alternatively the username guest with an empty password.
After checking out simply do a mvn clean install from your checkout dir, and then, after the build process simply go to the weblets-demo subdir and call mvn jetty:run .
After that a jetty servlet runner should be available on port 9090 with the weblets demo application deployed in it.
Simply point your browser to
http://localhost:9090/
for further details
Getting started is easy, two methods are available: download or Subversion checkout, try it, it is easy to get started, it is easy to use.

T1F | V/N.E.1 | AVX512F | Convert one double-precision floating-point value from xmm1/m64 to one unsigned quadword integer zero-extended into r64 using truncation. |
NOTES: 1. For this specific instruction, EVEX.W in non-64 bit is ignored; the instructions behaves as if the W0 version is
used.

Description
Converts with truncation a double-precision floating-point value in the source operand (the second operand) to an unsigned doubleword integer (or unsigned quadword integer if operand size is 64 bits) in the destination operand (the first operand). The source operand can be an XMM register or a 64-bit memory location. The destination operand is a general-purpose register. When the source operand is an XMM register, the double-precision floating-point value is contained in the low quadword of the register.
When a conversion is inexact, the value returned is rounded according to the rounding control bits in the MXCSR register. If a converted result cannot be represented in the destination format, the floating-point invalid exception is raised, and if this exception is masked, the integer value 2w – 1 is returned, where w represents the number of bits in the destination format.
EVEX.W1 version: promotes the instruction to produce 64-bit data in 64-bit mode.

Disney+ Will Arrive in the UK on, Wait for it, 31st March
by Tom PritchardSo with Disney+ set to launch inthe US, Canada, and Netherlands next week, then Australia and New Zealand a week later on 19th, lots of people have been eagerly awaiting when the streaming service would be available in the UK. Now we have an answer, and you are really not going to like it.
 Especially if content really is going to vary that much, because the least you could do is let us watch what you can offer right away and not wait an extra four and a half months.
The piracy folks are going to have a field day with The Mandalorian, and it could even give Game of Thrones a run for its money.

K-CAP Tutorials
- Natural Language Generation and Natural Language Interfaces to Knowledge Bases
- What Does Usability Mean for Knowledge Capture Projects?
Tutorial 1:
Natural Language Generation and Natural Language Interfaces to Knowledge Bases.- Claire Gardent, CNRS/LORIA Nancy (France)
- Eva Banik, Computational Linguistics Ltd
- Laura Perez-Beltrachini, Nancy University (France)
The languages used for interacting with knowledge bases (OWL, Description Logic, RDF) have a syntax that is difficult for knowledge experts and users to comprehend. To facilitate this interaction, graphical ontology editors such as TopBraid Composer, Protégé and SWOOP have long been developed. More recently however, a new strand of research has emerged which aims to produce Natural Language Interfaces (NLI) to ontologies.
In this tutorial, we will focus on natural language interfaces which draw on Natural Language Generation (NLG) techniques to help the user view, query and edit ontologies. We will start with a brief introduction to NLG. We will then survey the various ways in which NLG have been used to promote knowledge management. Finally, we will outline the main issues involved in developing NLG based NL interfaces to Knowledge Bases.
The tutorial will include live demonstrations of existing NLG-based interfaces to Knowledge Bases and will be structured as follows.
- Introduction to NLG. The pipeline NLG architecture: Content planning, Document structuring, Microplanning, Surface realisation.
- Applications of NLG to KB management
- Verbalising the content of an ontology (generating individual descriptions and verbalising axioms)
- Providing NL feedback on user queries
- Providing NL feedback on user edits
- Natural Language Generation and NL interfaces to Knowledge bases
- Document structuring and Microplanning: how to promote text coherence and fluency when verbalising an ontology, describing an A-Box individual or providing feedback on a user query ? (Aggregation, linearisation and anaphoric reference in NLI to ontologies).
- Surface realisation: How to verbalise axioms? (practical upper bound complexity; template based vs grammar based approaches)
- Portability and adaptivity: Automated generation of lexicons and templates for verbalising ontologies; Constraining generation to take into account the user profile.
Claire Gardent is a senior researcher at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). Her research focuses on the computational treatment of natural language meaning. She has worked on the automatic acquisition of lexical resources for French as well as on grammar development, syntactic parsing, semantic role labelling and natural language generation. Currently, she is working on extending serious games with sophisticated natural language processing tools (e.g., NL generators and dialog systems). Claire Gardent has been nominated Chair of the European Chapter for the Association of Computational Linguistics (EACL), editor in chief of the french journal "Traitement Automatique des Langues" and member of the editorial board of the journals "Computational Linguistics", "Journal of Semantics".
Laura Perez-Beltrachini is a PhD student at Nancy University (France). Her thesis topic is Natural Language Generation in Computer Aided Language Learning and she is currently investigating how knowledge bases can be used to automatically generate teaching exercises and solutions. Laura has done an Argentinian Computer Science Masters with a research thesis on ontology alignment and completed the Erasmus Mundus Masters "Language and Communication Technology" with a Masters thesis on surface realisation optimization and a Masters project on using natural language to provide NL feedback on user queries supervised by Enrico Franconi.
Until recently Eva was a member of the Natural Language Generation group at the Open University in the UK, headed by Donia Scott and Richard Power, where she received her phd from the Department of Computing in 2010.
After graduating Eva has started up her own company, Computational Linguistics Ltd, taking on various projects related to computational linguistics. She has worked on information extraction and data modelling for Lexis Nexis and currently focuses on natural language generation from knowledge bases for a project at SRI International. Eva also holds an MA in linguistics from the University of Pennsylvania, where she was a member of the XTAG group at the Institute of Research in Cognitive Science and worked on the semantics of Tree Adjoining Grammars.
Tutorial 2:
What Does Usability Mean for Knowledge Capture Projects?Approaches and Principles to Integrate Usefulness and Usability into Knowledge Capture Software Design.
Most people who design tools want them to be used. A key component to effective tools - whether software or hardware - is design: does the presentation of the tool inform either its usefulness or its usableness? How do we know if we're right or wrong or how wrong about that usefulness/usableness?
Challenge for the Half Day Tutorial: Experts in user interaction design (UI), user experience design (UX), human computer interaction research (HCI) spend years learning and developing methods to get at these questions. So what will a half day tutorial achieve?
This tutorial will provide a core suite of principles and approaches in usability design and evaluation. These approaches will help knowledge capture researchers/experts tune their process knowledge to anticipate both where in their design cycle usability/evaluation will play an effective role and how usability methods might be deployed. By mapping out such leverage points in a project cycle, the tutorial will also help participants discern where conversations may need to take place with UI/UX experts, and offer a vocabulary to help those discussions take place sensibly and effectively.
The tutorial has four main components.
- Understanding concepts of Interaction design vs interface design: interaction comes first
- problem being solved: where humans enter the equation
- understanding context of use: design approaches for elicitation, capture and validation
- understand who the people are involved in any stage of the process: models of personas for validation
- methods for communicating this knowledge within a design team
- Considerations in Interaction Representations
- design as consideration of
- context, - culture of practice, of use
- material, - cognitive affordances/constraints
- artefact - form / function
- design as consideration of
- attributes and methods of consideration for each component
- understanding abstractions and information hiding
- Mapping interaction requirements with the interface - towards transparent interaction
- Prototyping methods
- engaging with stakeholders
- where heuristics can be applied in design and evaluation
- assessing success:
- efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction or process, outcome. affect
- Where HCI research differs from application of usability/user centered design
- collaboration with HCI researchers; working with Usability specialists
Take Homes:
Participants completing the tutorial will be able to have effective conversations with usability experts/researchers towards design collaborations, and reasonable understanding of how to cost these into their projects' life cycle. Participants will know and be able to use the differences between interaction and interface design effectively; they will have exposure to cognitive perceptural and performance models to inform choices in UI design; they will have learned methods for determining where in their project cycle interaction design consideration effectively comes into play; they will have a set of methods they can begin to use to develop interaction requirements for their projects/tools; they will have practiced with a set of tools they can use to begin to develop and assess those interaction requirements.

Act 4th, Scene 1st
An apartment in the castle of Wolfenstein (in 1)
Barbara
(Shaking head)
Alas that things ever fall so ill. 'Tis now six months
since that never-to-be-forgotten night, and still no news
of the lost mistress of Wolfenstein. Nor yet of his lordship
who has sworn an oath never to return to the castle until
he has brought her back and revenged himself on the horrible
monster who has stolen her. And that graceless baggage, Carline,
too, to go off at the same time, leaving all the woes
of the household to fall on my poor shoulders. And then, to
make matters worse, spells and witchcraft turn all things
upside down. The cows milk vinegar, the wells are dry. The
hens lay addled eggs and
(Enter
ing
Puffengruntz R.H. with a very red nose
and tipsy)
And all the wine's turned sour.
Barbara
(Looking ruefully at him)
There's another comfort. To think that I, the right honorable
foster-mother that was to have been, to her right honorable
ladyship that was to have been--for whom many a young and
tender heart has sighed in vain--should ever have thrown herself
away upon a wine-butt.
Puffengruntz
(Hic!)
A wine-butt, Madam
Von
Puffengruntz?
Barbara
Aye, a wine-butt--a beer barrel! A brute that hasn't drawn a
sober breath since the day after we were married, now more
than three months ago.
Puffengruntz
(Hic)
A beer-barrel?
Barbara
(Savagely)
I said a beer-barrel.
Puffengruntz
(Hic)
Certainly,
of course
just whichever you please, my
dear, wine-butt or beer-barrel, it's all the same to me.
You know you
will cackle.
Puffengruntz
(Hic!)
Cackle, my dear.
You know I never have a moment's peace.
You're not even quiet when you're asleep.
Barbara
Snore, you wretch, I snore?
Puffengruntz
(Hic)
Yes, my dear,
and have the nightmare.
In future I
'm
intend to going to
have separate apartments.
Hereafter
I intend
to
--to sleep alone.
Barbara
Alone.
Am I awake? Who
and what
do you take me for?
Puffengruntz
(Hic)
I took you for a gentle spice-a sort of seasoning
to the dull life I led here in the castle, but damn it, Madam,
you've turned out to be all the condiments in one, a bottom
layer of mustard, a top dressing of cayenne pepper and a subeterranean
lake of vinegar in the middle.
Barbara
(Enraged, approaching; he retreats around LH.)
Cackle! Snore! Nightmare! Separate apartments! Cayenne
pepper!== You wretch! You--you sot, you villain!
I'll pepper you!
(Pulls his wig off)
There, take that and that and that.

Lady and the Tramp
The touching and exciting story of the rapprochement of two completely different dogs - a pedigree sissy and an ordinary mongrel. Elegant and fluffy as a toy, the cocker Spanielsha Lady was the favorite of the owners, until a baby appeared in their family. The muzzle put on was the last straw that pushed the offended heroine to escape. But on the street, a whole bunch of dangers awaited her, about the existence of which she did not even suspect. And then a vagabond dog came to the aid of a miniature black-eyed beauty, the nobility of which was not in the breed, but in the soul.

Uber loses licence to operate in London
by Staff WriterUber will not be granted a new licence to operate in London, Transport for London (TfL) has said.
According to BBC, the regulator said the taxi app was not “fit and proper” as a licence holder, despite having made a number of positive changes to its operations.
It adds that Uber originally lost its licence in 2017 due to safety concerns, but was granted a 15-month extension.
BBC reports that Uber now has 21 days to appeal against TfL's decision and can continue to operate during that period.
It had received an additional two-month extension in September which expired on Sunday.
Uber has faced resistance from regulators and traditional taxi services in a range of countries after being dogged by controversy for a number of years.

According to the report, Helen Chapman, director of licensing, regulation and charging at TfL, said: “As the regulator of private hire services in London, we are required to make a decision today on whether Uber is fit and proper to hold a licence. Safety is our absolute top priority.
“While we recognise Uber has made improvements, it is unacceptable that Uber has allowed passengers to get into minicabs with drivers who are potentially unlicensed and uninsured.
“It is clearly concerning that these issues arose, but it is also concerning that we cannot be confident that similar issues won't happen again in future.
"If they choose to appeal, Uber will have the opportunity to publicly demonstrate to a magistrate whether it has put in place sufficient measures to ensure potential safety risks to passengers are eliminated.
"If they do appeal, Uber can continue to operate and we will closely scrutinise the company to ensure the management has robust controls in place to ensure safety is not compromised during any changes to the app."

Q&A
What is CaaS? It allows you to:
provision entire environments (clusters)...
... HPC, Hadoop, Spark, OpenStack, Ceph, ...
... with advanced management, rescaling...
... monitoring, alerting...
... and one pane of glass to rule them all.
Example
Deploy Spark, Hadoop on the same virtual cluster (same set of VMs). Add Ceph and OpenStack. Extend.
The big deal?
saves times (entire cluster in minutes)
500-node Bright OpenStack cluster
agility
correlate metrics between components
empower the users (flexibility)
consolidate and isolate (compliance)
easily scale (e.g. add HDFS, or Ceph OSD vms)
Cluster management software
Bright OpenStack (Bright Cluster Manager)
Turns a pile of hardware into a fully functional HPC/Hadoop/OpenStack/X cluster
Used by hundreds of customers
Deploy, manage, monitor entire stack
(from physical hardware, up to services in VMs)
Why CaaS? Clusters, clusters, clusters...
... for Dev, QA, Support, etc.
5+ years ago: physical machines
5 years ago: kvm + scripts
2 years ago: Bright OpenStack + scripts
Turns out many of our customers have similar needs
now: OpenStack + Heat + CaaS (Cluster-as-a-service)
Other usecases

Virtualized labs
Security, compliance (e.g. sensitive data in HPC)
Demanding users
Hybrid HPC (same workload across physical and virtual)
Clusters
(wikipedia) A computer cluster consists of a set of loosely or tightly connected computers that work together so that, (...), they can be viewed as a single system.
cluster = Headnode(s) + general purpose nodes
cluster = Headnode(s) + compute(HPC) / Hypervisor(kvm) / storage(ceph) /... nodes
Clusters need to be managed

How? Krusty the cloud
Our own, dogfooded, R&D and QA, Ceph/OpenStack based, cloud
18 nodes
~3 controller/network nodes (kvm)
17 hypervisor nodes (kvm)
7 ceph OSD nodes, 3 ceph-mons
~400 vms, across ~100 virtual clusters (HPC, Hadoop, OpenStack, Ceph, Spark, ...)
Ceph's role
- single storage backend
- ceph used for Glance, Nova, Cinder
- copy-on-write of snapshots/volumes
- ceph FS is coming (and so is easy sharing data between clusters)
- cluster snapshots (nightly builds)
- live migration (don't mix shared/non-shared backends)

3 Missing Data
Oh yes! We had missing data.
I was reading this book - Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker and came across this chapter on Health and mortality throughout the world. It had pretty interesting graphs depicting that the overall health of the world is becoming better and the people are living for a longer period of time.
While working on this project, I opened this book again and read all the sources given under the graphs. I came across this website here - http://mortality.org and decided to use the data given here for understanding the number of deaths throughout the world.
There were two main issues we faced here, firstly the data was not in one file, but it was spread across different text files. Each document had data about only one country. So we had to read the files seperately and then combine them into one database. Another issue was that we got data for only 41 countries here. Nevertheless we realised that this was good enough data to work with.
Before we start working on the data we had to do a lot of data cleaning as mentioned earlier.
After we parsed each file separately and combined it into one data, we also plotted a graph to do some missing data analysis.
We can clearly see in the above graphs that most of the data relating to the countries is actually missing.
One pattern that we noticed here is that there is more data on developed countries like the European countries, in comparison to the still developing countries.


Sometimes it's useful to have different levels of headings to structure your documents. Start lines with a #
to create headings. Multiple ##
in a row denote smaller heading sizes.
You can use one #
all the way up to ######
six for different heading sizes.
If you'd like to quote someone, use the > character before the line:

| Abstract | This data provides the integrated cadastral framework for the specified Canada Land. The cadastral framework consists of active and superseded cadastral parcel, roads, easements, administrative areas, active lines, points and annotations. The cadastral lines form the boundaries of the parcels. COGO attributes are associated to the lines and depict the adjusted framework of the cadastral fabric. The cadastral annotations consist of lot numbers, block numbers, township numbers, etc. The cadastral framework is compiled from Canada Lands Survey Records (CLSR), Registration Plans (RS) and Location Sketches (LS) archived in the Canada Lands Survey Records. |

Unity. Not the 3D game engine. Unity is when components of an artwork go well together. When they complement each other and together create a beautiful work of art. It's hard to explain unity, but think of all the previous lessons, rhythm and variety and proportion, anything can be used to create a feeling of unity. And what does unity convey? Well I think you already know that. Unity provides a sense of solidarity and harmony. It can make a design minimalist, focusing on a few elements or unifying themes rather than a hubbub of colors and patterns. Using a color scheme you can portray unity, or even with a characteristic pattern. Unity is essentially guided by a unifying theme or goal.

Saint John, New Brunswick (not to be confused with St John's, Newfoundland), lies approximately halfway along the norther shore of the Bay of Fundy, where the Saint John river flows into the bay.
Position 45°14.20’N, 66° 02.50’W.
Call Fundy Radio and monitor VHF channel 12 when approaching the harbour. Whatever the visibility, be aware of the heavy shipping movements in the area.
Tie to the floating dock at Market Slip, on the east side at the head of the harbour, just past the Coast Guard wharf.
This berth is only normally used to wait for the tide to pass up the river, or to Clear in as it is convenient for the Customs office. The eddies and tides make for an uncomfortable berth.
Once through Reversing Falls, the Saint John river has almost unlimited anchoring and berthing possiblities. The water is fresh and the tides are small.

My name is Edward Arsura and I have lived in Roanoke County for 15 years. I have always had an interest in environment issues. In 2011 I graduated from James Madison University with a degree in Biology. After graduation I moved to Portland, Oregon for a year. Recycling is a huge part of their community and this is where I discovered how easy and beneficial recycling is. I was amazed to found out that trash was picked up once every TWO weeks due the amount of recyclable material we actually produce. This was when I realized I had to make recycling easier for the Roanoke County and so I started Star City Recycling upon my return to Roanoke.

 Try this version, topped with spicy gingerbread crumbs.
For the lemon posset, slowly bring the double cream and sugar to the boil in a large saucepan over a low heat, stirring well to dissolve the sugar in the cream. Boil for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Once the cream mixture has cooled, whisk in the lemon juice and zest. Pour the posset mixture into 6 glass serving bowls and chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
For the meringue shards, preheat the oven to 65C/50C Fan/Gas ¼ (or to the lowest setting on your oven). Line a baking tray with a silicone mat or a sheet of baking parchment.
Whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed. Gradually whisk in the sugar a little at a time, until the meringue mixture is glossy.
Spread the meringue in a thin, even layer all over the lined baking tray using a palette knife. Bake in the oven for 3-4 hours, or until completely dried out (this will take less time if your oven temperature is higher than suggested above).
Bend the silicone mat or lining paper to break the meringue into shards. Remove the meringue shards from the silicone mat using a palette knife and set aside to cool.
For the Jamaican gingerbread, increase the oven temperature to 140C/120C Fan/Gas 1. Grease a 30x20cm/12x8in cake tin with butter.
Melt the sugar, butter, syrup and treacle in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring well to combine.
In a mixing bowl, mix together the oats, flour, ginger, nutmeg, mixed spice and salt until well combined. Add the eggs and milk, pour over the melted syrup mixture, then whisk slowly until well combined.
Pour the gingerbread mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake for 1¼ hours, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
To serve, crumble a little of the gingerbread on top of each posset, then garnish with a lemon balm sprig. Place the serving dishes onto small plates. Decorate the plates with the meringue shards and a few thin slices of the remaining gingerbread. Place a scoop of lemon sorbet alongside, if desired.
