MT deployment is stuck on deploying for four days - microsoft-translator

I trained a new English to French MT. Training went ok with a 62+ BLEU score, but deployment is stuck. Any idea what's going on? I've been able to train and deploy in the past. This is the first time since the move to Azure. Anything new I need to know?
This is the screen I get. It's been pending since 07/13.
Here is more details.
When I click on Request Deployment, I get this message:
Your request to deploy this system was submitted on 13-Jul-2017 by XXXX.
Deployment will take up to 2 business days. Project owners will be notified when the system is deployed.

Deployments failed for all customers since Thursday July 13. Expected to resume fully on Tuesday July 18.

Customizing NMT is now available using Custom Translator (Preview). The new Translator Text API v3 works with Custom Translator, and the supported languages are limited to pairs where NMT languages exist.
Thank you.

How to send notification to users of a mobile application from a server when an event happens, using ionic 3 and laravel 5.6

I am building a school application that will connect parents to teachers, i am using Ionic 3 and Laravel 5.6.
And i want to be able to send a notification to all parents, when for instance a teacher gives an assignment, when the teacher enters the assignment question and click on the send button, the question is save to the database, after then a notification should be sent to the mobile devices of all parents who's children are taking that subject.
I have done a lot of research on how to do this, on the Cordova Push Notification Plugin and Cordova Local Notification. I have followed a video tutorial that implements Firebase and Push Notification, and also One Signal and Push Notification. But i was still unable to achieve what i wanted.
If they are anymore materials out there, that could help me achieve this, I will be so grateful to have someone share it with me, or if anyone can help me out with is, I will be very happy.
These are the other materials I found:
The PHP Package repository
Laravel Notification Channels
Quora
Please let your users know that using OneSignal's "free" service would allow the company to get users data and sell it to others.
Google's Firebase cloud messaging service is reliable but comes with a cost if you want many connections. See Firebase Pricing Plans.
I personally used fcm. It was not really a breeze implementing it on my thesis but it worked nicely. No need to make the app listen on background for incoming notifications then create a local notification, me not selling my users data, and not paying anything on the use of firebase's services. I used the free 300 dollars gift from google cloud to shoulder the expenses from the firebase spark plan.(free for 12 months)
A warning if you use the cordova plugins of fcm: If you have a cordova plugin that uses google's services it may come in conflict with the fcm plugins you listed above due to different versions used. It may need manual editing on the src plugins.
If you decide on using fcm, this link might help you.
The basic steps you have to do after you set up the needed environment is to
Get FCM token on platform.ready async.
Save it to firebase under the said user
Create a cloud function that will send notifications

How long does OpenShift Starter account provisioning take?

For about a week now, it says:
Queued for provisioning
Due to an increase in OpenShift Online Starter popularity, please
expect a longer delay in account provisioning. You will receive an
email when there is enough capacity to add your account. Thank you for
your patience!
Two weeks!
It took two weeks for Red Hat to finally provision the account. Yesterday I finally received an email:
Your OpenShift Online account is ready!
Obviously I had already moved to another provider in the meantime.
(Note that the status page had not displayed any technical reasoning for the delays. It was "all green". It's pretty obvious that this is just tactics to avoid getting users on the free tier.)

Pulling data from Sage Line 50 Cloud

It is June 2018. I have been tasked with architecting a solution to integrate data from SAGE 50 into a web application. The specific task is to pull account credit position data from Sage into the web app so that users of the latter can appreciate the exposure for each client before processing new orders.
The scope says that we should avoid installing any solution-specific code on the on-premise Sage installation, or do anything to limit the potential for the customer to have Sage updated.
The stack on the web-app side is all MS, so SQL Server + C#, etc. The Sage installation is on-premise.
In practical terms I have two options:
Use some kind of standards-based gateway or interface layer that we can talk through to get data Sage DB. This would insulate us from needing to make any low-level changes to the Sage installation. Using this option we would query the credit position data as needed.
Have some scheduled job on the Sage box post out the credit data periodically, either to a middle file store, or directly into the web app. This option obviously has a data latency problem.
Sage hides its SDK information inside a developers program that has a yearly price tag of £1500. Before I commit I would like to confirm that there is a solution waiting there.
Some of my research to date:
SO question about using ODBC from 2009
SO question about generic integration from 2009
Sage has changed its product line since 2009, at least in marketing terms, since then.
I realise that this is a broad and imprecise question, but my research so far leads me to no clear conclusion. Sage has many millions of customers so if I can beg your indulgence in not tagging this as off-topic then I think this question could help many people in the future.
So the easiest option for reading data from Sage 50 is to use the ODBC driver if you need to write data to Sage then you would need to use the Sage Developer Kit or commercial solution.
In terms of commercial solutions there are lots of toolkits and import tools available, the company I work for develops one of the leading Sage integration platforms and if you do a quick google you will find our company amongst others who can provide "no code" integration solutions for Sage 50, Sage 200 and others which compatible with historical and future versions of Sage products.
Using ODBC has not changed, one thing to bear in mind is that the driver is a 32 bit driver and afaik there isn't a 64 bit driver - this may or may not be an issue.
Connection string looks something like this
string connStr = "Driver={Sage Line 50 v24};UID=MANAGER;PWD=pass1234;DIR=C:\Accounts\ACCDATA;"

App publishing(Windows Store)

I recently created the first 2 apps of my life and triggered the publication process. I noticed that Microsoft services certifies apps within a day or two now it has been almost 4 days and there is no news of the certification passing or failing. Please tell me how i can get my app certified faster.
Microsoft says it usually takes 16 Hours for Certification. But that is totally not the case. One of my app's Last certification took 2 days (This app had FB, Twitter and Youtube Integration). i updated another app before that with minimum functionality and it took less than 10 Hrs.( this was a very simple app helpful for developers )
Here is the URL that describes Certification process

Google Map version2 vs Version3. shall we continue with gmap version 2

My map project needed an update this month and when i referred gmap i saw the notification requesting to migrate to version3. This is from may 19th 2010.
There are three projects live which used gmap extensively.
Those projects are for Transportation department in which we have plotted a route for a bus service with many options.
What will be the problem if i let the existing projects be as they were. that is in version 2.
I would like to have suggestions for the above.
From the Google Deprecation Policy:
"For a period of 3 years after an announcement (the “Deprecation Period”), Google will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to operate the Deprecated Version of the Service and to respond to problems with the Deprecated Version of the Service deemed by Google in its discretion to be critical. During the Deprecation Period, no new features will be added to the Deprecated Version of the Service."
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html#section_4_4
So you are probably good to keep using it for awhile - but eventually you will need to update.
Note that V3 is not guaranteed to be compliant with IE6, which is the reason why I am temporarily holding off on updating my own applications.
If v3 has all the features you need, then go with v3.
