This Week I Learned - Week #23 2019
This Week I Learned -
* A nice compilation of Azure certification exam training material on EdX
* Lucidchart’s AWS Import tool lets you plot out your AWS environment quickly
* The Quick Draw Dataset is a collection of 50 million drawings across 345 categories, contributed by players of the game Quick, Draw! from Google
* Form Recognizer (Azure Cognitive Service currently in Preview) learns the structure of your forms to intelligently extract text and data. It ingests text from forms, applies machine learning technology to identify keys and tables, and then outputs structured data that includes the relationships within the original file. That way, you can extract information quickly, accurately, and tailored to your specific content, without heavy manual intervention or extensive data science expertise. Form Recognizer supports printed forms, PDFs, and images. The process involves uploading five sample forms and letting Form Recognizer discover the keys, values, and tables. Then use simple REST API calls to extract the text, key/value pairs and tables from your forms. The custom training performed on your documents is not used by Microsoft to improve the Form Recognizer model.
* US visa application form DS 160 now has a new question about your social media account. US embassy visa officer can use the information against your visa application shared in Social Media section under the Address and Phone Information Page. You are required to share the account details even if closed your account recently or 4 years ago.
* The cockroach farming industry is booming in China where dried cockroaches can sell for up to US$20 a pound - Wikipedia
* The American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) in particular has the second-largest genome of known insect genomes. An unusual amount of their genes relate to taste and smell, which helps them to avoid toxic food. Genes relating to development and immunity help cockroaches grow quickly and resist disease.
* SSIPL is the largest authorised manufacturer of Nike, Puma & Lotto for the Indian market
* When he was 84, Verghese Kurien, founder of Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) announced his resignation from chairmanship in a packed IRMA auditorium, pre-empting his ouster by the GCMMF board of the dairy federation - ET
* Dr. (Ms.) V. Shanta, oncologist and the chairperson of Adyar Cancer Institute, Chennai, belongs to a distinguished Iyer family that included two Nobel Laureates, C.V. Raman (grand uncle) and S. Chandrasekar (uncle). She is the recipient of Magsaysay Award, Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan, and Padma Vibhushan. Through a career of over 60 years, Shanta was an advocate of early detection of cancer and the need to change public perception of the disease, especially the extreme fear and hopelessness associated with the disease. She was particularly critical of the metaphorical usage of the name of the disease to describe a dangerous and uncontrollable situation or one of hopelessness. The 428-bed state-of-the-art facility at Adyar Cancer Institute has grown from a 12-bed hospice owing largely to the untiring and selfless work of Dr. Shanta for over half a century.
