Q: Ubuntu 12.04, video freezes I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop (Asus X53sd). There was already windows 7 Professional installed, so I created new partitions and everything worked fine during the installation. (I installed windows and Ubuntu on the same day).
My laptop has 2 graphic cards: NVIDIA GeForce 610M and Intel(R) HD Graphics Family. I've installed the additional driver for NVIDIA which was recommended after the installation of the Ubuntu OS (which is NVIDIA-319). For the Intel card, no drivers were suggested.
Then suddenly , when working on the Linux environment, my screen started to freeze, while the laptop itself was still running (I noticed that since I was copying files from an external hard disk, I could hear it working and after I restarted the laptop, the files were all copied).
I've tried several possible solutions:

*

*change the driver to another possible one which was suggested (the previous version of the NVIDIA 319);

*install the driver manually, downloading it from the GeForce website. This solution didn't work because I was not able to install it.

*download several updates which were present but still didn't make my laptop working well;

*upgrade the system to Ubuntu 12.10. In this case, if I tried to change the driver, then I was no more able to log on my desktop, since my laptop was said to work in the "low graphics mode". If i left as it was, it kept on freezing.

Luckily I have an instant on/off button which allows me to switch off and on the laptop in less than 10 seconds, without losing my work, but it is still pretty annoying when the screen freezes.
All these problems are not present when I work on the windows partition.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lorenzo

A: I have the same issue with the nvidia-319 driver but I have discovered a workaround that is not too annoying for me. When it freezes, press Ctrl+Alt+F1 (this will bring up a tty login screen) then press Ctrl+Alt+F7 which will take you back to your GUI).
There is no need to login on the tty screen, just go Ctrl+Alt+F1 then immeadiately Ctrl+Alt+F7.


A head on road accident occurred on Saturday around 6.30pm in the municipality of Mazerolles, about 500m from the village at a junction towards La Rochefoucauld.
The driver of the van, seriously injured was taken to Poitiers. The driver of the other van, was slightly injured was taken to the hospital of Angouleme.
Firefighters Montbron and La Rochefoucauld were on hand, as well as the gendarmes of La Rochefoucauld. The circumstances of the accident remain to be determined.

Fracking: Yes or No?
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking has been talked about a lot recently, with both for and against this type of extraction technique being used in the UK. But what is it? How does it work?
And how do you feel about it.
To see whether finding out more about fracking changes how you feel about it, answer the poll below before reading the article. Then, answer the poll again once you've read all the facts about what hydraulic fracturing is, and the arguments for and against it.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT FRACKING?
WHAT IS FRACKING?
Hydraulic fracturing, commonly called fracking, is a technique used for extracting gas from deep underground. Find out more about how it works below.

The drilling process, which is the same for any oil and gas extraction, starts with a borehole that is sealed with three layers of steel and cement that is drilled down through layers of rock and groundwater.
When the drill reaches gas-rich shale rock, it turns and drills horizontally.
Then the fracking process starts. By law, fracking can only be carried out at least as far as 1,000m from the surface; that's nearly 10 Big Bens!
Tiny holes are created at the end of the steel pipe to allow the gas to flow into.
Large quantities of fluid are pumped down a borehole at high pressure. The fluid contains water and sand (99.5%) and chemical additives (0.5%).
This causes tiny fractures to open in the shale rock.
The sand holds open the cracks, allowing the gas to escape and rise through the borehole.
The natural gas is then separated from the recovered fluid.
WHY IS IT CONTROVERSIAL?
Fracking is a controversial technique. We present the arguments from and for both sides of the argument, so you can form your own opinion based on facts.
The extensive use of hydraulic fracturing in the US has prompted environmental concerns. The first is the amount of water needed for the drill site. However, the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has estimated that in ten years of operation, a drill site would use the same amount of water needed to water a golf course for one month.
The second is the concern that potentially dangerous chemicals may escape and contaminate groundwater. However, in the UK the Environment Agency approves the chemicals being used; hazardous or dangerous chemicals are not allowed. The industry suggests pollution incidents are the results of bad practice, rather than an inherently risky technique and that the risk can be minimized by sticking to very high health and safety standards.
There are also concerns that the hydraulic fracturing process can cause small earthquakes. Two small earthquakes of 1.5 and 2.2 magnitudes hit the Blackpool area in 2011 following hydraulic fracturing. We probably wouldn't notice these earthquakes happening; it's less than the vibration you would feel if a truck passed by you. But sensitive machinery can pick it even smaller vibrations, and this is another way drilling is overseen to make sure it is safe. Any earthquake registering above 0.5 magnitude will stop all drilling.
Finally, there is the argument that hydraulic fracturing is distracting energy firms and governments from investing in renewable, green sources of energy, and encouraging continued reliance on fossil fuels. In America, it seems like this may not be the case though, with renewable energy growing at nearly the same rate as gas, meaning it was not getting left behind as hydraulic fracturing became more widespread. For each of these concerns, there are companies in the UK whose job it is to make sure that rules and laws are being followed, such as the Environment Agency approving chemicals being used.
GAS IS CLEANEST FOSSIL FUEL
Shale gas is the same as 'normal' natural gas: methane. It is the cleanest of all the fossil fuels and emits half the amount of carbon that coal does when burned. The amount of carbon emitted is even less when combined with carbon capture and storage techniques which are being developed at fossil fuel power stations.
SECURE SUPPLY
Hydraulic fracturing has the potential to give us access to difficult-to-reach resources of shale gas, which could contribute significantly to the UK's future energy needs. Gas is currently used for heating in 84% of homes in the UK, so having a secure supply of our own would be a good thing, rather than depending on importing gas from other countries; right now we import half of our gas from abroad. Sourcing our own gas from the UK also cuts down on the amount of methane (a greenhouse gas) released during production, transport, storage and distribution compared to the amount released when we import gas from other countries.
IMPROVING ECONOMY
Just like any energy industry, an increase in sites where hydraulic fracturing is happening will in turn create more jobs and help the UK economy. Communities where hydraulic fracturing occurs can also benefit from industry schemes, receiving money if a well is drilled, and more money if shale gas is discovered.
ESTABLISHED INDUSTRY
It can also be said that oil and gas has been safely carried out in the UK for a long time, with 2,000 wells already drilled onshore.
WHERE IN THE UK IS FRACKING TAKING PLACE?
Shale gas resources have been identified across large areas of the UK, especially in the north of England.
However, at the moment no hydraulic fracturing is happening in the UK and before any can take place, companies must apply for a licence from the Oil and Gas Authority plus a number of further permissions, including consent from the landowner, planning permission from local authorities and a permit from the environmental regulator.

Q: ValueError: ssd_inception_v3 is not supported. See `model_builder.py` for features extractors compatible with different versions of Tensorflow I am getting this error while running bellow in colab
!python model_main.py --model_dir=training --pipeline_config_path=ssd_inception_v3.config

I am trying to do object detection. so for that I am using models from https://github.com/tensorflow/models , model is inception_v3 and config file is ssd_inception_v3.config
I am new for doing object detection using tensorflow.

A: Try to run:
!python model_main_tf2.py --model_dir=training --pipeline_config_path=ssd_inception_v3.config

instead of !python model_main.py

Grammars, cookbooks and letter-writing manuals
Posted on September 25, 2012 by Ingrid Tieken
What do Late Modern English grammars, cookbooks and letter-writing manuals have in common? They all show a remarkable increase in popularity during the 2nd half of the 18th century. I've described this for grammar books in Tieken-Boon van Ostade (2008), and this is particularly evident for the publication history of Robert Lowth's grammar of 1762, but we see a similar increase in the popularity of Hannah Glasse's The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy (London 1747), which was reprinted at least 33 times within fifty years of its original publication (Tieken-Boon van Ostade 2009:139).
The reason for the popularity of these two books is similar: the effects of the Industrial Revolutions were already beginning to make themselves felt. People with more money wanted explicit guidance of correct language use and on how to entertain in style. But what about letter-writing manuals?
These, according to Fens-de Zeeuw (2008), became very popular, too: of The Compleat Letter-Writer, Fens-de Zeeuw notes, "at least nineteen editions [were published] until 1800", after it first came out in 1756. The need for guidance was the same: the 18th century has become known as the great age of letter-writing, and in particular women needed instructions on how to write letters, but so did the lower classes. It is particularly for their further education that these letter-writing manuals contained brief grammars and presented spelling and punctuation rules, alongside of course providing practical rules on how to address members from the different sections in society.
There are differences as well: while Hannah Glasse's cookery book was published by subscription, Lowth's grammar was not, nor were the letter writing manuals. At least, the ones in ECCO do not contain lists with subscribers, unlike the copies of Hannah Glasse's book. These lists, by the way, offer is a fascinating insight into who her readers were: mostly women, and mostly from the (lower?) middle classes.

1 Response to Grammars, cookbooks and letter-writing manuals
rowenakerkhove says:
After watching BBC's: Servants; A life below stairs (29 September 2012), I wondered whether handbooks were written for girls who decided to become (maid) servants. I found Madam Johnson's present: or, every young woman's companion, in useful and universal knowledge.(Mary Johnson, 1769) on ECCO. I found this book particularly delightful as it not only contained examples of letters of recommendation, but also instructions on how to improve handwriting and grammar. This handbook must have been very popular as between 1759 and 1769 four editions were published.

Milan to host human technopole, university faculties.
Work has started on the development of the former grounds of Expo Milano 2015, and over the next 10 years the area will become a city of the future, reports financial daily Il Sole-24 Ore.
The outline of the grounds' new format was already decided shortly after the gates to Expo closed, when the then Prime minister Matteo Renzi promised government financing of €150 million per year over a ten-year period.
Now the Australian group Lend Lease and the Carlo Ratti architects studio, winners of the contract for the development, have presented plans for a "new conception" of use of the site over the next 99 years. The plan provides an interesting mix of public and private use.
The north end of the grounds will house the scientific faculties of Milan University, and sports facilities for those who work and study there. Heading south towards the city centre, the human technopole will grow up around the former Italy pavilion of Expo – now called Palazzo Italia – where work is already under way. The first research groups are expected to move in over the next few weeks.
Close to this, the Galeazzo Hospital will take over its new buildings, to be ready in three years' time, and there will be space for other companies, in particular in the pharmaceutical sector.
The site will include council housing and a vast green area, 1.5 km long, with 3,000 new trees, artificial lakes and cycling tracks. And workers and visitors will leave their cars at the gate – only driverless electric vehicles will be allowed within the grounds.


We've been analyzing our results and refining our toilet design, with great feedback from our friends at SOIL and at x-runner. Until we post some more pictures of toilets, here's Kory giving a teaser of some of the results of our impact study in Haiti, along with interesting updates from cool projects by Project Sammaan and Water for People. While we encourage you to check out all the presentations, Kory starts at 56:50. Enjoy, and come back soon for pictures of a flat-packable toilet prototype!


You are finally done with house hunting, and you think you're ready to make an offer. What are the things you have to consider in settling on a price? Here are the top 10 things you should know to successfully close the deal with your offer.
Before even thinking about looking at houses you might one day call your own, this should have already been settled. Knowing how much you can realistically afford should always be the number one consideration.
Getting a loan is difficult enough. If you're still finding it difficult to chip in cash for a down payment and still have to look into other savings for this investment, you might want to think twice or even thrice if you are ready to purchase a house at this time.
What's the price of the house? After making sure that it fits your budget, investigate further if it seems too high or even too low. The following items on this list will help you with that investigation.
This will also help you estimate the price you're willing to offer for the property--whether to add more to the asking price, or haggle with a lower-priced offer.
To be sure of the property's value, you may want to get a legal evaluation. You may also want to consider adding (or even decreasing) its cash value for its unique traits. For example, the property's architectural design is outstandingly your style, or maybe you're enthralled by the design of the kitchen. It may also be something as personal as its location being close to a dear relative. For rare features like these, you can show the owner your eagerness to own the house by adding a specific amount on your offer (especially if you're caught in a bidding war).
On the other hand, if there are some things on your dream property that you are not comfortable with, you may also mention these to the seller, and offer a lower price.
Look at comparable houses ("comps") in the area, and see how much they are/were sold for. These properties should be in the same neighborhood with the same dimensions, age, and number of rooms. If it has been sold, the purchase should not be older than six months.
If the real estate market is doing well, there's a chance for other bidders to price their offers too high. This may cost you the house if you don't strategize well. Not to mention that in most cases, giving an offer that is higher than the asking price may easily give you a better (if not sure) chance of owning the property. But if the market is down, you can opt to offer less than the asking price and still have a high chance of winning the bid.
Based on your encounter with the house's seller, do you think he/she is the type of person who would price the property irrationally? Does the property have sentimental value to him/her? Is he/she the type who would be offended if you gave an offer lower than the asking price?
On making your move, remember that you're not only dealing with legalities, but personalities too. If you still can, try to win the heart of the seller. Sometimes, people choose a buyer regardless of the amount of their offer, as long as they think that you are able to take care of the property when they legally transfer all its rights to you.
Upon making your offer, you must already mention your closing conditions to the seller. These include requesting for a home warranty, the type of deed you are obtaining, and asking for assistance with home repairs.
Payment conditions are also very important in this transaction. Will you be paying in full on a specific date? Are you offering earnest money and are willing to pay with interest? These are some things the seller needs to know off the bat.
If you are in a bidding war, more than the price, you can also haggle with your versatility with the offer's conditions. For example, you can't offer a higher price, but you can haggle that you can pay your offer in full and on the spot. This may be quite attractive to the seller, and instantly gives you leverage on any other higher bid.
In cases where the seller gives you a counteroffer, make sure that you study it first before accepting or rejecting. You may still give your counteroffer if you study the terms and conditions wisely.
If you received a loan to pay for the property, obtain necessary documents as proof like a pre-approval letter from your lender. This ensures the seller of your paying capabilities, and gives your offer a higher worth.
Another thing to consider is writing a personal letter to the seller of how much you appreciate the property. Especially for sentimental sellers, a mover like this will give you an invaluable leverage over anyone else who's bidding for the house.
If you think that the property is really your dream house, don't give up on it even if your offer fails. Most times, very high offers do not push through upon appraisal. In other times, buyers take back their offer, because he/she made bids on other houses.
You are still in the game as long as there has been no final transaction yet.

But did you stand in the doorway of Cathedral of Santa Maria in Fiorenze and see the Baptistry as Brunelleschi did with his perspective machine? Something I've longed to do.
I did not, Jim. We were on a walking tour, although this was one of the buildings that I talked about with the sandblasting. I did, however, find it amusing that in the Uffizi Gallery, there was a da Vinci painting that was made much of, and the group was marched in front of to see how the perspective changed; I was fatigued and sat on a bench to enjoy the painting, and when a fellow tour person asked about the my view, I said, perhaps a bit dyspeptically, "I understand how one point perspective works"….
Also, notable, the photo I posted with the horrible damage to the green marble was taken from the Baptistry….


More frequently reported side effects include: diarrhea and insomnia. See below for a comprehensive list of adverse effects.
WARNINGS: Levofloxacin may rarely cause tendon damage (such as tendinitis, tendon rupture) during or after treatment. Your risk for tendon problems is greater if you are over 60 years of age, if you are taking corticosteroids (such as prednisone), or if you have had a kidney, heart or lung transplant. Stop exercising, rest, and get medical help right away if you develop joint/muscle/tendon pain or swelling.
Levofloxacin should not be used in patients with myasthenia gravis. It may cause the condition to become worse. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop muscle weakness or trouble breathing.
Along with its needed effects, levofloxacin may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
burning, numbness, tingling, or painful sensation including peripheral neuropathy.
joint or muscle pain including tendon rupture or swelling of the tendon (tendinitis).
weakness in the arms, hands, legs, or feet including worsening of myasthenia gravis.
The most frequently reported side effects with the IV and oral formulations included nausea, headache, diarrhea, insomnia, constipation, and dizziness. Therapy was discontinued due to side effects in 4.3% of patients overall (3.8% treated with 250 mg and 500 mg doses; 5.4% treated with 750 mg dose). The most common side effects leading to discontinuation were gastrointestinal (primarily nausea, vomiting), dizziness, and headache.
During 1 study, C difficile-associated diarrhea occurred in 11 of 490 study patients (2.2%) receiving this drug.
Mucocutaneous reactions have been reported, sometimes after the first dose.
A 78-year-old female developed toxic epidermal necrolysis 2 days after parenteral therapy. The rash initially manifested as an erythematous rash, blistering, and mucosal sloughing but progressed to exfoliation involving three-quarters of the patient's body surface area including mucosa. A positive Nikolsky sign was noted.
Achilles tendon rupture occurred in 4 of 489 study patients (3217 treatment days) after 1 to 10 days of this drug.
Ventricular arrhythmia and torsade de pointes have been reported, mainly in patients with risk factors of QT prolongation.
This drug was associated with 13 cases of torsade de pointes reported to the FDA between 1996 and 2001.
An 88-year-old woman developed a prolonged QTc interval during treatment with this drug (500 mg once a day). The QTc interval increased from 450 msec to 577 msec by the fourth day of treatment. This drug was discontinued after the patient experienced runs of ventricular tachycardia. The QTc interval then decreased to 437 msec 2 days after discontinuing this drug.
A 65-year-old woman with hypokalemia (2.8 mEq/L), hypomagnesemia (1.5 mEq/L), and renal insufficiency (serum creatinine 7.7 mg/dL, BUN 34 mg/dL) developed a QTc interval of 605 ms (baseline 435 to 485 ms), several episodes of torsade de pointes, and cardiac arrest after 3 days of this drug (250 mg/day IV). The QTc interval decreased to 399 ms and no further arrhythmias occurred after discontinuation of this drug and electrolyte replacement.
Severe liver injury (including fatal cases with acute liver failure) has been reported, primarily in patients with severe underlying diseases.
A 74-year-old female developed hepatotoxicity and significantly increased AST (4962 units/L), ALT (7071 units/L), alkaline phosphatase (90 units/L), and total bilirubin (2.5 mg/dL) after starting this drug. Levels returned to normal within a week after discontinuation.
Hypoglycemia has been reported, especially in diabetic patients.
A 79-year-old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus developed severe hypoglycemia (blood glucose 6 mg/dL) and became unresponsive 6 hours after receiving 1 dose of this drug (250 mg IV). Blood glucose levels subsequently ranged between 40 to 159 mg/dL with dextrose doses and infusions; however, he did not regain consciousness and expired 2 days later.

Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) is partnering with raumlaborberlin, Prospect Park Alliance, Storefront for Art & Architecture, and visitBerlin to present Democracy Lab, a week of workshops, conversations, and music providing new perspectives on utopia, democracy, and civic engagement in SPACEBUSTER, an inflatable dome at Grand Army Plaza's iconic Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch. From June 11–17, 2018, BPL's Democracy Lab will convene the Brooklyn and greater New York community for programs ranging from conversations with New Yorker writer Rachel Aviv on isolation; National Book Award nominee Francine Prose on vital classic novels; and a special edition of Visually Speaking, a series of conversations with photographers, with New York LGBTQ+ community activist and photographer Lola Flash, to a chair-making workshop for all ages and an interactive demonstration on green design with raumlaborberlin.
Bringing together architects, urban planners, writers, artists, and, most crucially, citizens, Brooklyn Public Library provides a space for citizens to step out of the daily deluge of news and information and into its Democracy Lab—an inflatable semitransparent bubble hosting up to 120 people at a time—to consider the most important questions of contemporary American public life. From the use of public space to exploring alternatives to the court system, Democracy Lab invites engaged citizens to reimagine America.
Morning – Guided readings of The New York Times led by artists, community leaders, and writers, including New York Times archivist Jeff Roth.
Midday – A Brown Bag Lunch Concert series made up of some of the finest musicians in Brooklyn and from around the world, including kora player Salieu Suso and harpist Brandee Younger, followed by discussions examining contemporary social issues and modern design.
Afternoon – Guided walking tours of Brooklyn sights and natural habitats, as well as how-to workshops for all ages on lock picking, chair making, and acrobatics.
Evening – A series of literary variety shows, book debates with novelist Francine Prose; panels, including conversations with The Simpsons writer Mike Reiss, speaking to his 30 years rankling American politics with prime-time satire; a discussion on the intersection of sexuality and spirituality led by psychoanalyst Jamieson Webster with comedians Mike Albo and Ophira Eisenberg, host of NPR's Ask Me Another; and a conversation between curator Jonathan Square and photographer Lola Flash, considering the artist's work documenting social, LGBTQ+ and feminist issues, as part of the Visually Speaking series curated by Terrence Jennings.
Democracy Lab also features a Prospect Park Alliance forum on creating a community-driven vision for Brooklyn's green spaces (Saturday 6/16, 2:00–3:00 p.m.); an interactive Green Design Lab featuring a virtual reality tour by Marble Fairbanks Architects of the Greenpoint Library currently under construction (Saturday 6/16, 5:00–6:30 p.m.); and a multi-artist presentation from Dear America, a national platform for artists of all genres to express their views of America, including New Yorker writer Rachel Aviv and teenage activist Mosab Hamid (Monday 6/11, 7:30-9:00 p.m.). SPACEBUSTER will also host a closed-door mediation with the Red Hook Community Justice Center's Peacemaking Program, where family members and friends of recent victims of police shootings discuss the issue with affected and concerned members of the community. Mohican facilitator David Rash, and other facilitators from the Justice Center, will lead.
The SPACEBUSTER, an inflatable bubble in which Democracy Lab takes place, was developed by raumlaborberlin, a collective of eight Berlin-based architects who work at the intersection of architecture, city planning, art, and urban intervention, and is presented in partnership with the Prospect Park Alliance, Storefront for Art & Architecture, and visitBerlin. Generous support for Democracy Lab at Brooklyn Public Library is provided by Windham-Campbell and Whole Foods Market.

Anya, Ben, Michael and Dan went to Leeds for the 5th in our continuing series of Parliament, Data and Democracy meetups. In all honesty the turnout was… not great. On the other hand the speakers were great and Dan did not have a meltdown. And the conversation was the best yet and the most relevant to the whole 'working with our users' thing.
Thanks to Cristina, Nicole, Tom and Edward. And second thanks to Tom for introducing us to a very nice pub.
Sara gave a talk at her old research department at UCL about what it's like to work in the Parliamentary Digital Service and her experience transitioning from a medical imaging PhD to a data analyst. These seminars are usually very technical and serious, so we think everyone in the audience appreciated the change of topic.
Michael had a meeting with Paul Seaward at the History of Parliament Trust. Although that was more of a side-project thing. The view was admired. Satsumas were served. Thanks Paul.
Excellent customer service badges…
…go to Mike for helping some more researchers and students use our data. We had a student working on a dissertation who needed debates on Sexual Offences Acts from 1861-2003 which brought us into the realm of data that predates our systems. We had a source of these called Historic Hansard that has the data but doesn't have a sophisticated search function. To work around that we leveraged the site: operator that can be used by Google and Bing to allow the user to search the site more easily. We also provided advice concerning some of the arcane parliamentary language. In this case when searching for debates about an act you should refer to the act as a bill as well, as up until the legislation is passed all debates will refer to the bill rather than the act. On a related note - we've agreed with our colleagues in the Indexing and Data Management Section of the House of Commons Library to share our communications with external users of Parliamentary data. It's a great way for us to learn some of the business knowledge of IDMS and for IDMS to get extra information on how external users search parliamentary materials.
data.parliament migration
We've made some great progress on the migration of the external data.parliament components to our new cloud provider. We now have a working copy to start testing with, and hope to have the new version running in parallel with the old version by Christmas. Although the new version will not yet be publicly available. The savings are pretty astounding and we hope to have removed at least one bottleneck in the data flow.
Several members of the team posted words to Yammer. It's not yet clear if any trees fell in woods.
Who is L Ron Hubbard?
We're not sure but we're beginning to think the poor bloke might be trapped in there.
On Wednesay, Matias and Samu attended a workshop about enterprise architecture, CRM and modern data practices.
Samu also met with Jenna and Jamie from the web team. Together they designed the model and process for getting content from our headless CMS into the data platform and onto the website. In the first instance for the Guide to Procedure project. Chris chipped in later and added valuable insights.
Anya and Michael went along to a meeting with the team working on the Guide to Procedure. A half plan was hatched to bring the navigation of the guide into line with the Parliament Thesauri maintained by IDMS.
Anya and Michael made a few changes to the tabling model to cover the tabling of things into a House.
On Wednesday we finally got id.parliament.uk fully working. We are now fully HTTPRange-14 compliant. And not many people can say that. Thanks be to Mike.
Matthieu met with Daxa from the End User Team and renewed our key to automatic deployments. He validated our security protocol while he was on the job. It was cool.
Raphael and Robert worked with Callum on search hints. Raphael pushed some edits as requested.
Raphael continued with triple store benchmarking tests and did some research into prior runs of the Berlin SPARQL benchmark. He also looked at other RDF benchmarks and plotted some early results.
Sara and Raphael had a chat about nonparametric significance tests. Not a clue mate.
At least according to Slack no things got measured. Which is unusual. Maybe we're approaching a more Zen-like acceptance of existence. Or finally learning the lessons of quantum mechanics.
Matias has been testing the new integration on the HR system. Implementation will happen as soon as we're happy with the testing.
Matias had a meeting with the stakeholders on the asset management integration project. They're now starting to work on testing the chosen data fields and ensuring they meet the requirements. They've also been looking at CostCentre (again not a clue) feeds to check they expose everything needed to build the integration.
Matias has also continued work on generating dashboard reports from JIRA.
There was some other stuff involving words like Cherwell and HardCat but I have no idea how to turn it into English.
Julie, Selina and Aidan met with Samu and Robert to talk all things Dynamic, Purchasing and Frameworks. They want to capture current and possibly future procurement needs and prioritise.
Did the machines learn owt?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, no. Like concerned middle-class parents we continue to hold out hope.
Did anyone say blockchain?
For months there is not a sight of a blockchain. Then 3 come along at once.
Robert was the first person to say blockchain when he slacked a link to this tweet.
Matthieu followed up with a link to this story about a digital cats trading game accounting for 12% of transactions on the second largest cryptocurrency network. Which caused a significant backlog of pending transactions. One cat went for more than $114,000. We're sure it's a lovely cat.
On Wednesday night Tom Forth definitely said blockchain, but he was in a pub with a pint in his hand and didn't seem serious.
Many strolls were taken. A strolling venn digram of Anya, Michael, Robert and Dan would probably place Robert at the centre.

Another major online gambling operator might have landed in hot water in the Netherlands, following the late-August announcement that the local gambling regulator, Kansspelautoriteit, has slapped a €300,000 fine on a Betsson subsidiary for targeting Dutch players.
News emerged earlier today that The Stars Group, owner of online poker room PokerStars, informed late last month its Dutch customers that locally popular payment provider iDEAL would no longer be available to use. In a message sent to local players, the online gambling giant has explained that the use of iDEAL has become "a key trigger" for the launch of an investigation by Kansspelautoriteit. The company's message further reads that the Dutch gambling regulator has made it clear that any online gambling operators previously sanctioned by it would not be granted a license, once the local market is regulated. As a result, The Stars Group "was left with no choice" but to remove iDEAL.
The Stars Group's latest move raises certain questions as to whether the company has been scolded by Kansspelautoriteit and over the exact nature of the probe that was said to have been triggered by the availability of iDEAL.

Lucky Dragon Hotel and Casino was billed as a property of many firsts. Most notably, it was the first hotel and casino resort to be built from the very ground up in post-Recession Las Vegas. In addition, it was the first Vegas casino to specifically target customers from Asia. However, despite the initial euphoria that accompanied its launch, the property was pushed into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection a little over a year after its grand opening and is now expected to be sold at a September 10 bankruptcy auction.
The property opened doors in December 2016 as a boutique Asian-themed hotel and casino resort. It was built on a portion of vacant land in the northern end of the Strip, an area that previously remained underdeveloped, but on which more and more developers have been setting their sights over the past several years.
Early in 2018, Lucky Dragon owners signaled that the property was embroiled in heavy financial troubles and that certain portions of it would be shuttered until the issues were sorted out. The resort's casino floor as well as its dining facilities were among those to close down. Staff members were laid off, and the resort's management announced that the property was reorganizing and was facing foreclosure.
In February, just days before the previously announced foreclosure, the property's management pushed it into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to protect jobs, pay creditors, and provide certainty to the market, court papers read. At the time, Lucky Dragon employed 98 people.
The Asian-themed casino resort failed to draw crowds, especially from the Asia-Pacific region. According to analysts, its location was among its biggest issues. Others claimed that Asian customers would not necessarily take a trip all the way to Las Vegas to visit an Asian-themed resort. In addition, the property's particular focus on customers from Asia was deemed a mistake by industry experts.
As mentioned above, Lucky Dragon is expected to be sold at a bankruptcy auction on September 10. Developers have previously said that a number of prospective buyers had shown interest in the property.
However, according to court papers, Lucky Dragon creditors have pointed out that owners of the troubled property have been offering assets to the market for over a year, but apparently no viable buyers have been found. Lucky Dragon's management was even advised to "abandon the property" and thus avoid the potential racking up of additional costs that a failed sale could create.
In previous comments about Lucky Dragon, Las Vegas casino owner Derek Stevens (the D Las Vegas and the Golden Gate) told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the property was really nice but its location was "pretty tough" and that there was little pedestrian traffic in the surrounding area.
Lucky Dragon sits on a site just west of Las Vegas Boulevard. The property includes a nine-story hotel tower and a separate 27,500-square-foot casino building.
The hotel and casino resort was valued at $143 million late last year. It is important to note that nearly $90 million of the total investment into the property came from foreign backers each of whom invested $550,000 into the project in hopes to obtain a green card. Under the EB-5 visa program, foreign citizens could be granted a permanent visa if they create jobs in the United States.
Bloomberg wrote in an article from earlier today, citing bankruptcy court filings from investors, that they could lose their investment and their chance to obtain a green card. As a result, Lucky Dragon's backers are asking for a buyer that would allow them to retain at least some of their interest.

William Hill announced today that it has reached an agreement to sell a 20% stake in its US business to Nevada-based gaming operator Eldorado Resorts and to become the latter company's exclusive sports betting operator.
The deal will provide William Hill US with the opportunity to distribute its sports betting offering across Eldorado's 21 properties in 11 US states. The Nevada-based gambling operator's pending deal for the acquisition of Tropicana Entertainment will further extend its and its new partner's presence across 26 casinos in 13 states. The acquisition deal is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of the year.
The announcement about William Hill US and Eldorado joining forces comes as multiple US states are looking to legalize sports betting following the US Supreme Court's ruling from May 14 that struck down a federal ban on wagering on professional and amateur sports. Four states have already launched sports betting following the SCOTUS move and at least ten more are expected to follow suit in the near future.
Partnering with Eldorado gives William Hill access to one of the largest and most attractive casino footprints with 23 million customers across multiple states. This partnership provides extensive cross sell and profit growth opportunities to both parties. Together, we are positioned to capture the evolving US opportunity – starting with land-based sports betting and extending to digital sports betting and, in some states, online gaming.
William Hill has been operating in Nevada, the only state where sports betting remained legal after the enforcement of the federal ban on wagering in 1992, for the past six years. The company said recently that it holds a 31% share of the Nevada betting market.
Under the terms of the deal, William Hill US will become the exclusive sports betting partner for Eldorado. The betting operator will operate physical sports betting facilities across the gaming company's properties and will run an online operation, as well.
The deal will also see Eldorado acquire a 20% stake in William Hill's US business. The Nevada-based gaming company will additionally receive $50 million of stock in William Hill PLC, subject to a 3- to 5-year lock up.
William Hill US will retain 80% of the newly enhanced business. The agreement also includes an option for the launch of an online casino. The deal has an initial term of 25 years.
Aside from Nevada, William Hill US currently operates sportsbooks at Monmouth Park Racetrack and Ocean Resort Casino in New Jersey, has agreed to provide sports betting services to 13 casinos in Mississippi, and began accepting bets in West Virginia on August 30. Parent company William Hill said today that it expects it to launch a sportsbook in Pennsylvania in the coming weeks.
According to media reports, Eldorado has not been the only US gaming company William Hill has been in talks with over the formation of a joint venture since the liberalization of the US sports betting market earlier this year. It is believed the British bookmaker has discussed the possibility with Penn National Gaming, but discussions were terminated at a very early stage.
William Hill is looking to extend its US footprint as much as possible at a time when its domestic business is underperforming and a looming crackdown on the controversial fixed-odds betting terminals is threatening the company's domestic retail business which has been producing the largest portion of its revenue for years now.
