Purpose: A structured didactic radiation oncology clerkship curriculum for medical students is in use at multiple academic medical centers. Objective evidence supporting this educational approach over the traditional clerkship model is lacking. This study evaluated the curriculum efficacy using an objective knowledge assessment. Methods and Materials: Medical students received the Radiation Oncology Education Collaborative Study Group (ROECSG) curriculum consisting of 3 lectures (Overview of Radiation Oncology, Radiation Biology/Physics, and Practical Aspects of Simulation/Radiation Emergencies) and a radiation oncology treatment-planning workshop. A standardized 20-item multiple choice question (MCQ) knowledge assessment was completed preand post-curriculum and approximately 6 months after receiving the curriculum. Results: One hundred forty-six students at 22 academic medical centers completed the ROECSG curriculum from July to November 2016. One hundred nine students completed preand post-clerkship MCQ knowledge assessments (response rate 74.7%). Twenty-four students reported a prior rotation at a ROECSG institution and were excluded from analysis. Mean assessment scores increased from preto post-curriculum (63.9% vs 80.2%, P <.01). Mean MCQ knowledge subdomain assessment scores all improved post-curriculum (t test, P values <.01). Post-scores for students rotating de novo at ROECSG institutions (n = 30) were higher compared with pre-scores for students with ≥1 prior rotations at non-ROECSG institutions (n = 55) (77.3% vs 68.8%, P =.01), with an effect size of 0.8. Students who completed rotations at ROECSG institutions continued to demonstrate a trend toward improved performance on the objective knowledge assessment at approximately 6 months after curriculum exposure (70.5% vs 65.6%, P =.11). Conclusions: Objective evaluation of a structured didactic curriculum for the radiation oncology clerkship at early and late time points demonstrated significant improvement in radiation oncology knowledge. Students who completed clerkships at ROECSG institutions performed objectively better than students who completed clerkships at non-ROECSG institutions. These results support including a structured didactic curriculum as a standard component of the radiation oncology clerkship.

Solving Connection timed out Error The Isle Evrima Dedicated Server
This post is going to be in a collection of posts dedicated in resolving common issues with setting up a dedicated server for the Isle Evrima. This one is the most common I see, so lets talk about what it is, and why it's showing up. IF you are unable to connect, but others are see "Your router doesn't have Hairpinning enabled." Below. This is the most common issue.
The biggest reason for this error comes from users attempting to connect to a server running on the same computer or the same local network. Lets explain why. If you are running your own server, you need to know the details of what is happening in your own network.
The client server architecture
For a server/client connection to work(the client being the game itself), a server has to bind a an ip address. The isle server binds to the local network address, for example "192.168.1.100". This local address is tied to a computer/server. Everyone with an internet connection has this "LAN" with a collection of IP addresses that are typically in the same format, but can be different. In a Local network we can easily connect between devices because everyone has a unique IP and there is no firewall. BUT, the Isle dedicated server is meant to be ran publicly with outside access. Others can't use our LAN ip address, so our server advertises its "public" ip address to the server list.
- When someone sees your server, They attempt to connect to the public ip address advertised by your server, which is sent out over yourservers Query port(typically 7778)
- The client attempts to connect via your Game Server Port(typically 7777), which has the public IP address, and manages what goes "inside" to the local area network, and where it goes.
- The router checks the incoming connections port to see if it has any forwarding rules, and if it does, it sends the connection to the ip address you have forwarded (your isle server)
Back to the problem
As you can see in the error message, the users client failed to connect. We see the IP address and the port. What could this mean? Well our game client could not connect. But notice this is your networks public ip address that is being advertised by your server, not the private address that you need to use within your local network. So that leads us to 3 possible issues you are having.
Your router doesn't have Hairpinning enabled.
You're game client is grabbing the public IP address, but you need to connect to a device in the local are network (your own computer or another inside your home). In this case, most modern routers have something called "Hairpinning" enabled, but some don't, and in that case, you won't be able to do this. The resolution here is to run the server in a place other than your local network, enable hairpinning on your router, or buy a router that supports it. You can also try to use a VPN on your game computer, and then try to connect, so that you go out, and then back inside your network, using your public IP. Other than that, there is no way to direct 1 IP to another on windows.
"NAT hairpinning, also known as NAT loopback or NAT reflection, is a feature in many consumer routers where a machine on the LAN is able to access another machine on the LAN via the external IP address of the LAN/router".
You are forwarding your Query port, but not the game port.
In this case, your server is being listed, but the client can't connect because the actual game server port is blocked. Your resolution here is checking _URL_ with port "7777" If it failed, the port is blocked at either your router, or computer/server firewall. If this fails, please don't spam dedicated server hosting communities with issues involving port forwarding. It over shadows people with real issues, and can usually be resolved with a few google searches.
The Server has an internal issue that caused the game thread to fail.
This can be identified by red text within the console. This is the least likely issue, but looks for an error indicating that the game server listen port (usually 7777) failed to find to an interface. In this case, something on the computer your server is running on is currently using that port. This can be identified by viewing the "resource monitor" in windows, and checking the tcp bind section to see if a program is using port 7777/7778. If it is, stop it and try again.
Anyways, I'll be linking this back to those that have issues.

The Glencoe Golf & Country Club (GGCC) is situated on the south bank of the Elbow River, approximately 12 km upstream of the Glenmore Dam. A significant portion of the GGCC is located within the floodway of the river. In June of 2013, the golf course was heavily damaged by overland flooding from the Elbow River.
As part of GGCC's flood mitigation strategy, Associated Engineering (AE) was retained to develop a detailed model of Elbow River to determine flooding impacts to the golf course during various river levels and to analyze the impacts of a raised barrier on the course and adjacent lands.
- Developing a 2-dimensional model of the Elbow River using Mike21.
- Modelling the impacts on the site from the 1:2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 500-year flood events.
- Modelling the impacts of the flood events on the site and surrounding sites with a proposed flood protection barrier on the GGCC. The model will be used to support proposed flood protection for the GGCC by verifying impacts to adjacent lands of installing a flood protection barrier.

The Sand Ceremony adds a twist to the traditional
unity candle tradition. Like a unity candle the sand is
used to symbolize the joining of the bride and groom
or the joining of their families. The sand unity
ceremony uses two or three (or more for children)
jars or glass containers of colored sand (3 in the
example below) and a large glass container to
combine the sand. Each of the containers of sand
symbolizes the separate lives of the bride and groom
and their families. The combined sand makes a
wonderful wedding keepsake for the bride and
groom and a constant reminder of their commitment
to one another. Craft stores are the best source for natural and colored sand as well as small
glass bottles.
The Unity Sand Ceremony is a bit nontraditional, as you may imagine. It can be difficult to
have the Candle Ceremony outdoors, as candles don't want to stay lit. So the Sand Ceremony
was created, and it has become very popular. The words are very similar, as the wedding
officiant explains the meaning of the unity ceremony. It represents leaving your two separate
lives and joining to make one life together. You can do this without a colored sand for the
minister if you prefer and just have two colored sands, one for bride and one for groom.
"To symbolize the importance of the individuals within the marriage and the joining of two
lives into one entity, 3 colors of sand will now be layered into a base."
(Trista is handed a clear jar of Pink Sand, Ryan is handed a clear jar of Blue Sand. The
minister has one clear jar filled with a Neutral color sand and a large empty jar)
The Minister speaks again:
"We begin with a layer of Neutral Sand which symbolizes that the marriage is grounded."
(The Minister pours a little of the Neutral Sand into the large jar)
"Then we layer the individual colors. This symbolizes that the marriage is based on the
strength of the individuals."
(Ryan poured a little of the Blue Sand in first, followed by a little more of the Neutral Sand
from the minister. Trista then added a little of the Pink Sand, followed by some additional
Neutral Sand from the minister).
"And now we combine the colors, which symbolizes two lives joined as one together forever."
(Ryan and Trista simultaneously pour their remaining sand into the large jar until their jars are
empty. The minister caps off the sand with the last of the Neutral Sand. The minister then
holds the large jar up as if presenting to the wedding audience and places the jar to the side)
Unity Sand Ceremony

An abandoned call is a call or other type of contact initiated to a call center that is ended before any conversation occurs. When inbound calls are abandoned, it is often because the caller is frustrated with the time on hold. When outbound calls are abandoned, it is usually because the call is disconnected by the automated dialer or automatic call distributor (ACD) when a live contact has been made but no agent was available to take the call. A predictive dialer can eliminate the problem of abandoned outbound calls.
An abandoned call may also be referred to as an "abandoned contact."


A: Citrix XenDesktop supports deployments to Active Directory (AD) environments where user and computer accounts exist in a single AD forest (at all forest and domain functional levels). XenDesktop can also support deployments to AD environments where user accounts are in different forests from the computer accounts of XenDesktop controllers and all virtual desktops. For this second situation, the domain or domains containing the XenDesktop controller and all virtual desktops must trust the domain or domains containing the user accounts. This trust can be a forest trust or an external trust. The situation where XenDesktop controllers and virtual desktops are in separate forests is also supported (at all forest functional levels, and at domain functional levels above Windows 2000 Native) when a bi-directional trust exists between the two domains.

Charring rates of heavy timber structures for Fire Safety Design: A study of the charring rates under various fire exposures andthe influencing factors
MetadataShow full item record
This thesis presents research on the charring rate of large structural members of timber and the material properties and external factors that influence on the charring of these members. The most commonly used temperature-time curves for large structures, and calculation models for the charring rate of wood, are evaluated and used to establish the documented charring rates. The most important material properties and external factors that influence the charring rate of large timber structures are found by an extensive literature review, and total impact of the properties and factors are listed in tables. However, the change in charring rate due to the various properties and factors is not unambiguous and more systematic research should be carried out to determine rules. An evaluation of calculation models for the charring rate of solid wood, nail-, glue- and cross-laminated structural members was performed and the models giving results closest to test results from the literature were determined. The standard model, EN 1995-1-2, was only accurate in a few cases. The models that include more of the properties and factors found to influence the charring rate were most accurate. Evaluation of standard and parametric temperature-time curves for the design of timber structures reveal that the "Swedish" fire and iBMB fire give the best representation of a real fire in a timber structure. The EN 1991-1-2 Standard fire does not include the contribution to the fire load from the timber structure, and the EN 1991-1-2 Parametric fire has an unrealistic linear cooling stage. The experimental tests on the charring rate of cross-laminated timber panels show that the calculation models for the charring rate are inaccurate for this type of structural member. The charring rate is affected by the growth rate of the fire and the maximum temperature. High initial growth rates result in higher charring rates. Short fires with steep cooling rate will have a short charring period, while a long fire will reach constant charring rate after a while. Comparing the obtained test results with test results from other researchers gave good matches. The charring rates found during the experimental tests are compared with charring rates found using the calculation models from the literature evaluated earlier in the thesis. As the experiments only resulted in a few measurements for the "Swedish" fire and the EN 1991-1-2 Parametric fire there was not much to compare with. The char depths for the EN 1991-1-2 Standard and Parametric fires match well with each other, but the charring rates have a wide scatter. This research has pointed out several issues where knowledge is lacking for fire safe design of large timber structures. The behaviour of exposed timber structures in compartment fires should be studied further, and the influence the timber structure has on the temperature development over time needs more research. This can result in the development of better temperature-time curves for fire exposed timber structures. The models for, calculation of the charring rate given in EN 1995-1-2 should be improved by introducing more factors and carrying out more research on the properties and factors that influence the charring rate.

Kerala is famous for its various martial arts. Some of them include Kalaripayattu, Parisa Kali, Velakanni, Valeru, Kunderu and Njaninmel Kali.
Kalaripayattu is the best and most scientific martial arts in the world. The meaning of the term Kalaripayattu is the fighting art of the Kalari. This fighting is one part of the ayurvedic physical treatment in Kerala called the Kalarichikitsa. The origin and introduction of Kalaripayattu is still unknown and it was considered to be emerged from the old traditions of South Kerala. It was also influenced by the north Indian martial traditions. The present form of Kalari has existed since around 1500 years back. It is a combination of art forms from both North and South Kerala. It is believed that in 350 A.D. this martial art was carried away across the Himalayas by a Buddhist monk named Bodhi Dharma to give rise to another art named Chinese Kung Fu.
Kalari means battlefield and the in charge of Kalari was given to the Nayakanmar. They were later came to be called as the Nayars. In each region they are called by various names like Kurup, Nambiyar, Panicker etc. The Nayar will be in charge of a kalari or several kalaris and they are responsible for training the people in kalaripayattu. Such a person is called as Gurukkal which means master. In the olden times, Kalaris were established in Nayar homes. The Sanskrit word Khaloorika means a place where weapon training is done. It is believed that the word Kalari has originated from this Sanskrit word. And so the method of training in combats and weapon fights came to be called as Kalaripayattu.
Kalari was a place where subjects related to medicine, philosophy, astrology, geometry, yoga etc were taught. In Kalaripayattu, yoga is required for exercise and ayurveda is needed for medical treatments. The training starts with whole body oil massage until the body becomes supple. Steps such as ottam, chattam, marichil etc are then taught. Then the students are taught to handle various weapons and also to fight with hand. Some of the weapons include knives, bow and arrow, sword, stick, long and flexible spring like sword called urumi etc. It requires special skills such as concentration and attention. It is at the same time dangerous to learn using weapons. It is said that in order to become a Guru or master one has to pass seven levels. Those who learn Kalaripayattu can get rid of any physical problems. A guideline to be followed while studying kalaripayattu is that after the completion of the course, the person should take oil massage and practice the studied feats at least once in a year for keeping them in correct shape.
The two main forms of Kalaripayattu are the Vadakkan form which is the Northern style and the Thekkan form which is the Southern style. There is difference in these both forms in the style and the movements. The three maim types of Vadakkan kalari are Arappukkai, Pillattaanni and Vatteel tirippu. They gained widespread publicity. The thekkan style of kalari was more important and it is believed that Sage Agastya was the guru of this style. Even then the usage of various weapons and the style of performance made Vadakkan style more famous.
The two types of Kalari are the Cherukalari and Ankakalari. Cherukalari is called as Kuzhikalari in which the term kuzhi means pit or small areas formed by caving the earth. In Kuzhikalari, the floor of the kalari is lowered by removing the soil. The surrounding area is higher when compared to this kalari. This type of kalari is built for physical as well as weapon training. Ankakalari is the kalari that is constructed temporarily for fighting purposes. This is set up in areas where the audience can also come and watch the fight. A raised platform called Ankathattu is constructed for the person to perform kalaripayattu.
The main steps involved while training Kalaripayattu are
The main aim of this step is to attain flexibility and agility to the body. In this process the learner learns how to jump, twists and the various other body movements.
In this step, the learner learns to fight using sticks.
After attaining excellent skills in stick fighting, the person learns to use metal weapons such as knives, shields and swords.
This is the last step in Kalaripayattu learning where the student is taught how to fights without any weapons. They have to fight with bare hands. This involves wrestling, attack and defense.
Along with fighting techniques the trainer also teaches subjects relating to Ayurveda and also various healing techniques using herbs. It is necessary because the student must be able to heal himself in case of any ailments before preparing for a competition. So they are taught how to heal any wounds.
Kalaripayattu has its root in the vedic culture. This art form is considered as the most comprehensive because it involves Physical training, self defensive techniques with and without the use of weapons, treatment using the ayurvedic principles and a philosophy based on India's vedic culture. All these features make it distinct from the rest of the martial art forms.
There are many training centres where Kalaripayattu is taught. Some of the important centres are at Ettumanoor, Kanjirappally, Pala, Thiruvananthapuram, etc. At present many are engaged in studying kalaripayattu mainly for demonstration purpose and also for fitness. In olden times, any disputes in Kerala during the rule of the kings were settled in battle or betting in martial arts competitions. The warriors of Kerala were skilled in Kalaripayattu and any conflicts can be settled by the match of Kalaripayattu.


Leave your walker in the bridge
English: Leave your walker in the bridge
French: Laisser votre marchette dans la passerelle
Walkers and passengers' own wheelchairs are larger and probably won't fit anywhere in the cabin of the airplane. Usually, as the passenger boards the plane down the bridge, as they enter the plane, they leave their wheelchairs and walkers at the door of the airplane, inside the bridge. The walker or wheelchair is then taken down by the ramp agents and put into the cargo for the flight. Upon arrival, the walker or wheelchair is brought up again to the door of the airplane and the passenger can use it as soon as they exit the plane.
Sometimes, passengers are unsure where to leave their mobility device. For wheelchairs and walkers, you can tell them to leave them inside the bridge, beside the plane.
Vous pouvez=You can
Laisser=To leave (to allow something to remain)
La chaise (f) roulante=The wheelchair
La marchette (f)=The walker
La passerelle (f)=The bridge (terminal boarding bridge)
Vous pouvez laisser la chaise roulante dans la passerelle.
You can also point to the place in the bridge where they can leave the walker and say:
Vous pouvez laisser la marchette là-bas.
Là-bas=Over there, there
Note that "to leave" can be translated as "partir" or "laisser". "Partir" means "to leave" in the sense of "to depart". "Laisser" means "to leave" in the sense of "allowing something to remain".
Also note the "bridge" that connects the terminal to the airplane is called "passerelle" in French. A generic bridge, over a river for example, is a "pont" (m).

James City County is one of the fastest-growing places in Virginia, according to the 2020 census. However, the expansion is far from uniform across the county. Last week, the Board of Supervisors supported a redistricting plan to respond to the growth pressures.
The supervisors mooted other potential changes to the future of elections in the county including reducing the number of precincts due to the rise in early voting and a move away from polling stations in schools in favor of churches.
A report to the county from Assistant County Administrator Jason Purse and Elizabeth Parman, assistant county attorney, highlighted the growth pressures the county faces.
The report noted that the county's population increased from 67,009 in 2010 to 78,254 in 2020, an increase of 17%.
"In comparison, Virginia grew by 8% and Hampton Roads grew by 5% between 2010 and 2020. James City County is the eighth fastest-growing locality in Virginia. 2020 Census data reflect an overall increase in population across all districts; however, the percent increase was not even across districts," the report noted.
"Stonehouse is now the largest district with a total population of 17,770, a 35% increase in population from 2010," the report stated. "Roberts is the smallest district with a total population of 14,414, a 5% increase in population from 2010. The Berkeley and Jamestown districts each grew by 18%, on pace with the County as a whole, while the Powhatan district grew by 9%."
Virginia law requires local districts have similar populations, resulting in the need for a redistricting, the report stated. However, the rapid growth in Stonehouse means the county's largest district is now 23% bigger than its smallest. Stonehouse is the most northerly district in the county, abutting the York River.
Purse and Parman presented two redistricting plans for the board to consider Sep. 28. Option one entailed the moving of 3,403 people across districts, about 4% of the total population
"In this map, an area with 1,723 people north of Route 60 and southwest of Highway 30 moves from Stonehouse to Powhatan. This area includes Skillman Estates, The Retreat, Meadow Lake and Racefield," the report stated.
"A second area with 218 people east of Little Creek Dam Road, Little Creek and Yarmouth Creek moves from Stonehouse to Powhatan. A third area with 501 people north of John Tyler Highway and Brick Bat Road and south of Bush Neck Road and Jolly Pond Road moves from Powhatan to Berkeley. A fourth area with 961 people east of Jamestown Road and including Jamestown Island moves from Berkeley to Roberts. This area includes Powhatan Shores, Landfall at Jamestown, Raleigh Square, and the Cottages at Stone Haven."
The second option entailed the removal of 9,305 people across districts — roughly 12% of the total population in a more complicated redistricting. The board voted unanimously for county staff to proceed with the first option.
"This is a first step," Parman said. "We are asking that the board has a look at these maps and considers reaching a district-level consensus."
Supervisor Jim Icenhour said redistricting is a common occurrence in the county.
"I have been here 26 years. I have lived in the same spot and been in three districts. It happens a lot," he said.
Icenhour said the board should consider reducing the number of precincts. He said four districts have four precincts and one has three. "Quite a few of us have very small precincts." He asked if the rise in early voting could allow three precincts across the board.
"It would be tremendous savings in expense," he said.
Parman said the request would have to go to the Virginia attorney general.
Supervisor Ruth Larson said she has raised safety concerns about schools being used as polling stations in the past and suggested churches be considered as an alternative.
"Are we going to look at other options besides using schools?" she asked.
Purse said the county has been working closely with Director of Elections and General Registrar Dianna Moorman over potential changes to the voting system.
"She's very interested in working with us about and trying to figure out if we can identify new places, better places and trying to figure out where that central voting place should be, whether we should keep it at the Rec Center," Purse said.
Supervisor John McGlennon said the first option was "significantly superior" to the second. The other supervisors agreed.

CELLMEN AFTER SHAVE CREAM/ LOTION
After Shave CreamCellmen Cellsplash
Cellmen CellSplash is the after-shave cream that has unique daily invigorating liquid texture exclusively formulated for men's skin hormones. Cellmen CellSplash is thoroughly alcohol and methanol free after-shave cream.
Energize and Soothe Male Skin with Cellsplash After Shave Cream
After daily or weekly cleaning –
Toning and rebalancing the skin's pH level after cleansing is an essential part of looking after your skin. This action:
- Completes the cleansing process.
- Rebalances the skin's hydrolipidic film.
- Optimizes the skin's absorption of Phyto and cellular extracts.
Shaving daily acts as a combative process to the skin. Cellmen CellSplash After Shave Lotion alters the already deficient hydrolipidic film and modifies its natural pH level. This after-shave cream causes dehydration, cutaneous irritation, and a lack of protection for the skin when exposed to a range of external aggressions. This problem is further intensified for men by the visibility of red spots and redness, mainly in the neck area, causing discomfort and is stunningly unattractive.
Agonizingly, many men still tent to use alcohol-based products or after shaving lotion. However, It is like putting 90º proof alcohol on a wound!
After shaving the skin needs effective skincare tailored explicitly to its masculine identity to help:
- Regenerate the hydrolipidic film after shaving.
- Immediately soothe.
- Regulate cutaneous homeostasis.
Cellmen Cellsplash After Shave Cream
Preserve cutaneous homeostasis
Maintain the balance of cutaneous functions despite external aggressions. Normal and correct skin functioning is maintained utilizing a homeostasis mechanism. Water and ion balance are two of the most critical factors for this homeostasis mechanism to work well.
- Water provides the medium for the metabolic processes to take place.
- Distribution of ions into the different skin layers determine the movements of fluids between the intracellular and the extracellular spaces, the maintenance of the membrane electrochemical potential, and the starting or inactivation of many cellular processes.
After Shave Cream for MenCellmen Cellsplash
Cellmen CellSplash resides in its double function as both a revitalizing, rebalancing cellular tonic and a calming after-shave lotion.
This after shaving cream contributes to the following factors:
- Clean, refreshed and toned skin.
- Soothed, rebalanced skin.
- A more radiant complexion.
Recommended to Men
- Exclusively reserved for men, from age 20.
- All skin types, even sensitive skin.
- For all men looking for a healthy, alcohol-free, after-shave treatment.

Using PostgreSQL and SQL to Randomly Sample Data
Steve Pousty
7 min read
In the last post of this series we introduced trying to model fire probability in Northern California based on weather data. We showed how to use SQL to do data shaping and preparation. We ended with a data set that was ready with all the fire occurrences and weather data in a single table almost prepped for logistic regression.
There is now one more step: sample the data. If you have worked with logistic regression before you know you should try to balance the number of occurrences (1) with absences (0). To do this we are going to sample out from the non_fire_weather equal to the count in fire_weather and then combine them into one table.
Random sample of figures
Random sample of figures
Picture by OpenLearn Create
I thought for sure I was going to have to write PL/pgSQL or PL/Python to do this next task. As I tell people in my talks/workshops, "Start with Postgres until it doesn't work for your use case. Then go back and read the Postgres doc." Taking my own advice, I found a way to make this work with SQL. Let's do it together below. I'm gonna spin up a small instance in Crunchy Bridge to do this work.
Sampling the non-fire days
First we sample as many non_fire_weather records as there are in count of records in the fire_weather table. There are Postgres built-in functions for sampling tables (look for keyword TABLESAMPLE in the FROM clause). There are two built in functions and the documentation does a good job of explaining them:
The BERNOULLI method scans the whole table and selects or ignores individual rows independently with the specified probability. The SYSTEM method does block-level sampling with each block having the specified chance of being selected; all rows in each selected block are returned. The SYSTEM method is significantly faster than the BERNOULLI method when small sampling percentages are specified, but it may return a less-random sample of the table as a result of clustering effects.
You can pass a seed number as a parameter to the either method to guarantee repeatability of sampling between different calls to the query.
It's important to note that:
This sampling precedes the application of any other filters such as WHERE clauses.
It is also important to note that neither method guarantees to return the exact number of rows requested.
To get the exact number sample, we need to load an extension called tsm_system_rows. With tsm_system_rows we get the exact number of rows we requested (unless there are fewer rows in the table than requested). But again the caveats are important:
 - Like the built-in SYSTEM sampling method, SYSTEM_ROWS performs block-level sampling, so that the sample is not completely random but may be subject to clustering effects, especially if only a small number of rows are requested.
 - tsm_system_rows does not accept a seed number so two calls of the SQL function are not guaranteed to return the same set of records.
For our use case, I decided that getting the exact number is important and I did not think clustering would be an issue. A good test is to run the sampling below with the bernoulli method and the tsm_system_rows method and look for an increase in autocorrelation in our predictor variable for the tsm_system_rows.
For now, let's go ahead and add the extension:
CREATE EXTENSION tsm_system_rows;
Now we use a CTE and lateral join to get the data we want and put it into a table named "preanalysisdata":
WITH count*fire AS (
SELECT count(*) AS thecount FROM fire*weather
)
SELECT a.* INTO preanalysisdata FROM count_fire CROSS JOIN LATERAL
(SELECT * FROM non_fire_weather TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM_ROWS(count_fire.thecount))
AS a;
 1. The CTE is just getting us the count of records in the fire table.
 2. We then use a lateral join in the second part of the query to pass the count number from the CTE into the subquery at the end.
 3. The subquery uses the count of fire rows to randomly sample the exact same number of non-fire weather days.
 4. Once that lateral join finishes, the query then passes all the rows to the first part of the select query and puts the results into a new table.
We now have our non-fire data subsample that was randomly sampled from all the non-fire weather data put into a table.
Adding the fire data
Now we use a simple SQL UNION to concatenate the preanalysis data (no fires) with our fire data set to give us the data that is ready for analysis.
SELECT * INTO analysisdata FROM preanalysisdata UNION SELECT * FROM
fire_weather;
Final Steps
It's time for the final step of separating the data into training and validation sets. It is quite easy to want to focus on how well your statistical or data science model does with prediction of its training data. Unfortunately, by doing this you often end up tuning your model to be specific to the data used, ruining the model's ability to predict new data. In data science you often want to "hold back" some of your data to test how good your model is at predicting new data. With our dataset we are going to do 90% for training and 10% for validation. With PostgreSQL, this is as easy as two lines of code.
To separate our authoritative data for analysis we will make a new schema. This way we can give other data scientists read but NOT write permissions to this schema. By separating our final data we can be sure the data will not be accidentally altered by someone else:
CREATE SCHEMA final;
In writing the next lines of SQL I decided to go with simplicity over generality. I could have made these lines more general by using the CTE and expression types found above. Doing so would have allowed the query to work for any table size, but instead I manually calculated the 90% and 10% values for records and used them in the query.
First we get the training/analysis data:
SELECT * INTO final.analysis FROM analysisdata TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM_ROWS(2525);
Ninety percent of the original records equals 2525 records. Again we use the system_rows extension to randomly sample rows from the table. We also use "select into" to create the analysis table in the final schema.
Finally, we need to put the remaining rows into the validation table. Stated in plain English, I want all the rows from analysis data that are not in final.analysis. My first inclination was to write the query like this - please understand this is WRONG:
SELECT * INTO final.verification FROM analysisdata AS a, final.analysis AS fa
WHERE a.id != fa.id;
This actually does a cross join (also called cartesian product), for all the ids that are not equal between the tables.
There are several different SQL forms we could use to get the right answer. I chose this one because it had the best performance and it is the most "relational" style answer:
SELECT * INTO final.verification FROM analysisdata EXCEPT SELECT * FROM
final.analysis;
I also think reading this query makes it quite clear what we want for the outcome. You can read more about 'except' in the official documentation. You can check out this blog post where I give a discussion of how I got to this SQL.
Wrap up
I was really excited to find the ability to randomly sample a table right there in PostgreSQL. Again, I thought I was definitely going to have to write some PL/pgSQL, PL/Python, PL/R, or do it in the client code. Instead I can write some simple SQL and make generic sampling functions in one SQL call. If I wanted to I could have even passed a seed number into the sampling function to sample the exact same rows every time.
And with that we have finished breaking out our training and verification. Next step we are going to center and standardize the predictive variables we want to use in the logistic regression.
You could do all this simply by spinning up a PostgreSQL instance in Crunchy Bridge and use the data from the Github repo. Did you know about the table sampling function in SQL? Does it also bring you joy? Tell us more about how you have used table sampling functions. Leave a comment below or reach out to us on Twitter. Happy data sciencing!

The material component was a basic part of casting most spells.[2]
A material component consisted of one or more physical objects or substances. Depending on the spell, once it was cast, the material component was annihilated. However, a spellcaster could often use a spellcasting focus to substitute for most components, which would not be consumed by the spell. Casters who wielded priestly magic usually used a divine focus such as a holy symbol, which had higher spiritual significance than the standard focus, while druids often employed a druidic focus.[2][3]
Arcane spellcasters usually employed component pouches with individual compartments to store most material components required for their spells,[4] unless they chose to employ an arcane focus instead.[3]
Valuable or rare material components often had to be stored separately and could not be replaced by a focus.[3]

The Schoolmaster Engineer: Adam Anderson of Perth and St Andrews _PHONE_
Kenneth Cameron (2007)
The Ferguson Gallery, formerly Perth's old water works, which now houses the celebrated J D Ferguson art collection, is an outstanding feature of Scotland's industrial archaeology. Strangely, this architectural and engineering triumph, the powerhouse of the city's first genuinely clean drinking water system, was the creation of a schoolmaster, Dr Adam Anderson (_PHONE_), Rector of Perth Academy.
In his revised and extended biographical study of this native of Kincardine-on-Forth, Kenneth Cameron describes the origins and construction of Anderson's water system and of a bewildering array of other contributions to his adopted city, during a period of rapid economic change, technological advance, social upheaval, and political and religious crises. Anderson's personal contributions towards the Georgian Fair City's public service infrastructure, economic well-being, and its environmental preservation were unequaled, and many proved durable.
This study provides, in addition, glimpses of Kincardine's mercantile past, a worm's eye view of student life at St Andrews University at the turn of the 18th century, and of the challenges facing an ambitious itinerant tutor migrating annually between Enlightenment Edinburgh and rural Angus. Political turmoil in Perth in the First Reform Act era, and of strife amongst the professoriate of St Andrews University, where Anderson secured controversially the chair of natural philosophy nine years before his death, also feature.
A native of Perth, Kenneth Cameron attended Perth Academy. After graduating initially from Aberdeen, he completed a PhD in Scottish History at Edinburgh University, before qualifying in librarianship at Strathclyde. Posts in archives and librarianship at Dundee University led to eventual responsibility for Bibliographic Services, before he returned to Strathclyde University in 1986 as Depute Librarian. Dr Cameron's first real encounter with Adam Anderson was when, as a very young member of the former Perth Town Council, he actively supported the decision to preserve the former waterworks for posterity. The first edition of The Schoolmaster Engineer was published by the Abertay Historical Society in 1988.

"How many days until our trip?" and "When are we going to Disney World?" are questions you are likely to hear again and again as soon as you let your family know you are planning a Disney vacation. Having a way to count the days can make it easier on everyone — kids can check the number of days at a glance, and mom and dad won't have to answer the same question each day. Read on for some great countdown ideas, and enjoy the time leading up to your Disney vacation.
Mark the calendar: It sounds silly, but simply having the date marked on a calendar in plain view will help. Let the kids decorate the week with Mickey Mouse and Disney themed stickers, and post the calendar in a busy room like the kitchen. Older kids will be able to count the days, and little ones will be able to have a better visual of just "when" you are going as well.
Make a chain: Make an old fashioned paper chain using Disney themed papers (look in the scrapbook section of your local craft store for some great papers). Make one link for each day of your trip, and tear a link each night before you go to bed. If you have small children who are learning their numbers, count the links each night. Hang the chain in a visible area for a great visual reminder of just "how many days" are left.
Make a "thermometer": Draw or trace a thermometer image onto poster board, and color in a little each day, so that everyone can see at a glance how far off your trip is. You don't have to use a traditional thermometer — you can use Disney paper and cut any shape you'd like to represent your trip.
Fill a balloon: If you are feeling crafty, trace or print out a balloon shape onto poster board and hang it in a visible area. Use a Mickey Mouse paper punch to cut "Mickey Heads" from colorful paper. Cut one head for each day until your trip. Each day, attach another "head" with glue. When the balloon is full, it is time to go!

Muscat – A team of specialists from the Environment Authority has been monitoring an Arabian Sea humpback whale in the Port of Duqm waters for a week.
A statement issued by the authority said, 'The specialists confirmed that the whale was rescued last January from fishing nets in the port and that they have been following the whale to ensure its welfare and safe passage out of the port.'
In January, a massive rescue effort was undertaken to save the whale as it got stranded in the Port of Duqm after being entangled in nets.
Specialists and volunteers from the authority, Five Oceans Environmental Services and Future Seas, supported by Environment Society of Oman and the Port of Duqm, rescued the whale in January.
The authority added that the incident highlights the dangers posed by abandoned fishing gear to the marine environment.
Arabian Sea humpback whales are a small subpopulation of humpback whales, which are the most genetically distinct whales and the most isolated whale population on earth. A study suggests that these have remained separate from other humpback whale populations for perhaps 70,000 years.


Zero-width joiner

Jump to: navigation, search
The zero-width joiner (ZWJ) is a non-printing character used in the computerized typesetting of some complex scripts, such as the Arabic script or any of the Indic scripts. When placed between two characters that would otherwise not be connected, a ZWJ causes them to be printed in their connected forms. In some cases, such as the second Devanagari example below, the ZWJ follows the second character, rather than the first.
The character's code point is U+200D zero width joiner (HTML  · ). In the InScript keyboard layout for Indian languages, it is typed by the key combination Ctrl+Shift+1. However, many layouts use the ']' key for this character.[1]

Tree – Determining Age
Q: I am trying to find out the age of several live oak trees at my father-in-law's house in north Florida. Is there some general way to determine their age based on their diameter?
A: According to Certified Arborist Brian Arnold _PHONE_), determining the age of the oaks through non-invasive observation would be almost impossible. The diameter of the trunk is influenced by many factors, including soil conditions, rainfall and sun exposure. The trunk of a hundred year old tree growing in a good spot might be twice the size of an equally aged tree growing in poor conditions.
It is possible to count tree rings using a tool called an increment borer. The tool bores a hole in the tree trunk and removes a slender core of tissue reaching the center of the trunk. Brian advises against the borer tool because the hole can give insects and diseases access to the trunk interior.
Maybe your best bet is to try contacting previous owners of the house to ask about their earliest memories of the trees.

Solution or Workaround
Using a SQL client such as SQL*Plus, execute the CREATE INDEX statement. Provide a name for the spatial index, the name of the ST_Geometry column, grid sizes, and spatial reference ID.
The following example creates a spatial index named crm_idx on a table named cult_rcs, which contains an ST_Geometry named shape. One grid level is used (size=10) and the spatial reference ID is 1.
create index crm_idx on cult_rcs(shape)
indextype is sde.st_spatial_index
Once the spatial index exists, proceed with registering the table with ArcSDE using the sdetable -o register command, or altering the table's registration using the sdetable -o alter_reg command. Consult the ArcSDE Administration Command Reference provided with ArcGIS Server Enterprise for correct syntax and usage of these commands.

The denitrifier method to determine the dual isotopic composition (??15N and??18O) of nitrate is well suited for studies of nitrogen contributions to streams during runoff events. This method requires only 70 nmol of NO3- and enables high throughput of samples. We studied nitrate sources to a headwater stream during snowmelt by generating a high-temporal resolution dataset at the Sleepers River Research Watershed in Vermont, USA. In the earliest phase of runoff, stream NO3- concentrations were highest and stream discharge, NO3- concentrations, and??18O of NO 3- generally tracked one another during diurnal melting. The isotopic composition of stream NO3- varied in-between atmospheric and groundwater NO 3- end members indicating a direct contribution of atmospherically-derived NO3- from the snow pack to the stream. During the middle to late phases of snowmelt, the source shifted toward soil NO3- entering the stream via shallow subsurface flow paths. Copyright 2004 by the American Geophysical Union.

text: Misalignment is one of the key reasons for vibrations in most of the rotating system. The present study focuses on interactions among speed, load, and defect severity by investigating their effect on the system vibration. Response surface methodology (RSM) with root-mean-square (RMS) as a response factor is used to understand the influence of such interactions on the system performance. Experiments are planned using design of experiments, and analysis is carried out using analysis of variance (ANOVA). It is observed that speed has a remarkable effect on RMS value in both parallel and angular types of misalignment and affects the system performance. RSM results revealed that a change in load has less impact on vibration amplitude in case of horizontal and vertical directions, but there is a significant variation in RMS value in axial direction for both types of misalignment. A slight increase in the RMS value with an increase in defect severity is observed in the axial direction. These observations will help to understand the misalignment defect and its effect in a better way.

How to prevent a different output from the Alteryx R tool
In this article, we will discuss some of the leading causes of incorrect different output when you use Alteryx R Tool to sign an amazon HTTP request.
An incorrect output can result from many things, including wrong field conversion, connection error, wrong entry/input and much more.
We will use the HMAC function included in the digest package and a text input tool that includes the key and a date stamp to sign an amazon HTTP request.
Key= "foo"
datastamp= "20120215"
When we run our first script below:
the.data <- read.Alteryx("1", mode-"data.frame")
write.Alteryx(base64encode(hmac(the.data$key,the.data$datestamp,algo="sha256",raw = TRUE)),1
We get an incorrect result as compared to when we run the following:
write.Alteryx(base64encode(hmac("foo","20120215",algo-"sha256",raw = TRUE)),1)

The difference being when we hardcode the values for the key and object, we get the correct result. But if we use the variables from the R data frame, we get incorrect output.
Alteryx can READ data as a data frame or as a list. While many common Alteryx R Tool issues arise from trying to read/write objects of the incorrect class, this may or may not cause the incorrect output.
Let's delve into the possible leading causes of our incorrect output. Firstly, let's understand if the DATA FRAME could have altered the data.
Does the data frame alter the data in some way?
How to prevent a different output from the Alteryx R tool
As a recommended practice, you should use the data.frame() R function to convert the data to a data frame before using the write.Alteryx() function.
Alteryx will attempt to transform data to a data frame if one has not already been converted; however, this conversion may not go as planned and result in inaccurate output.
You can also use the class() function to check whether your variable is a data frame.
> x
SN AGE Name
1 1 21 John
2 2 15 Dora
> typeof(x) # data frame is a special case of list
[1] "list"
> class(x)
[1] "data.frame"
The difference in the text input
The incorrect output can again result from the difference in the text input; 'datastamp' or 'datestamp'? It should be 'datestamp.'
How to prevent a different output from the Alteryx R tool
If the column title in the text input tool is 'datastamp' but not 'datestamp';
Then the "datestamp" in this script will give incorrect output as it is not detected.
How to prevent a different output from the Alteryx R tool
Conversion error
Lastly, the incorrect output can also result from one of these variables not being detected by the R Tool.
How to prevent a different output from the Alteryx R tool
If this is the case, it can be the "date stamp" with the problem. Often in R, you have to specify the date class.
as.Date(variable,"%m/%d/%Y")
But Alteryx will take a different format:
as.Date(variable,"%Y-%m-%d")
If a Date value is not in this format, Alteryx reads it as a string, which can sometimes give incorrect output. Always specify the date class or use the DateTimeParse function in the expression editor to convert the column into date format.
The answers in this brief guide provided a solution to the error.

Error Codes
What do error codes in the GoZync logs really mean?
Any errors encountered in the sync will be reported in the zync logs tabs in GoZyncMobile and GoZyncHosted.
Many of the errors will be self explanatory, but the guide below may help.
- 101 Record is missing. This is about the table occurrence, not the field.
Most likely reason for this is that you don't have "Allow creation of records..." set to "on" for this table in its relationship with GoZync in the graph of GoZyncMobile.
Turn "Allow creation..." on for the table occurrence mentioned in the error and then try again.
102 Field Missing
There are only a few reasons why you'd see a 102 error.
You've sent a field that doesn't exist in the destination. Remove the field from the sync layout on the source side (the sending side). Note that fields don't have to be on the sync layout in order to be received; fields only need to be there to be sent.
The field exists but has a different name in the destination. See Custom Field Mapping to transform the field name.
You've created a transformation (a custom field mapping) but your field is repeating and you haven't created a field mapping for each repetition.
If these don't apply, see the section "Other Sync Errors" under Troubleshooting.
106 Table is Missing
There is a mismatch between the table occurrence names on the mobile and hosted side of the relationship graph in GoZyncMobile. Even if your actual tables are named something different in the mobile and hosted files, the *occurrences* for those tables in GoZyncMobile's relationship graph need to have the same name (outside of the "gzm_" or "gzh_" prefixes).
You may connected the TO to GoZync on the destination side of the GoZyncMobile graph.
One other thing, that can be hard to spot at first, is that the relationship graph in GoZyncMobile *look* good, but the table occurrences--while named correctly--are either representing the wrong tables or are both pointing at the same file (ie gzm_Contacts and gzh_Contacts are both pointing to the contacts table in your hosted file, for example).
200 Record access is denied.
In this case, access to the records being synced is not permitted for the account being used. Permission must be granted in the mobile and hosted file for each field that will be synced.
301 Record is in use by another user.
Commonly called "record lock".This is exactly what it sounds like: it's not a configuration error.
FileMaker couldn't edit the record (or one of the related records for that entity) because another user was editing it. Feel free to try and sync the record later when the original user has stopped editing it.
500-511 Validation Errors
These will occur when the data coming in fails to meet the validation criteria set up on one of your fields.
You can turn off the validation or change it from "always" to "only during data entry" which will stop it from firing during scripted set fields like those used in GoZync.
You could include a flag-field condition in the validation calculation, then set that flag at the start of the Zync routine, and clear it when it's done.
You could modify the "Commit Records/Requests" step in the "Zengine ( IDsToSync )" script to "Skip data entry validation".
Or you could remove the field validation altogether and instead write a script to do it, then run that script on the server.

This study was performed to determine the host range of Spongospora subterranea f. sp. subterranea on common crops and weeds in the northeastern United States. Seedlings of the plants were grown in nutrient solutions and inoculated with spore balls of S. subterranea. The roots were microscopically examined for the presence of plasmodia or zoosporangia 14 days after inoculation. The plants were then transferred to a greenhouse and grown in a soilless mix. The roots were examined for the presence of symptoms and spore balls after 4 months. Of 26 species within 10 families from monocotyledons and dicotyledons tested, 16 species were found to be susceptible to S. subterranea. Twelve species were newly recorded hosts for S. subterranea. Gall symptoms were observed on the roots of six species and spore balls were found on three species. Evidence is presented for the first time that galls and spore balls of S. subterranea might form on non-Solanaceous species. This investigation is important for the cultural management of potato powdery scab disease because there currently are no effective controls.

Astronaut's visit highlights St. Veronica's Right to Read Week
Students studying about outer space
An astronaut spent the day with St. Veronica students and promoted the theme of their Right to Read Week.
Retired astronaut Donald Thomas spent the day with students of St. Veronica School on Thursday.
The theme to their Right to Read Week and outer space studies was Blast Off with Books.
Thomas was a mission specialist for four space flights between 1994 and 1997. He was on board the space shuttle Columbia and Discovery.
Thomas said there is always a fascination with space. Kids today are just as excited about space as I was at their age.
"Kids are just as equally excited about space today as when I was a little boy. When I was in kindergarten, first grade, it was about when John Glenn first went into space, and I got excited about being an astronaut," Thomas said.
Thomas was born in Cleveland. He wrote a book called "Orbit of Discovery: The All-Ohio Space Shuttle Mission."
Thomas' book touched on how fellow Ohioans, John Glenn and Neil Armstrong, influenced his career.

Free Today: Mothers: Their Power and Influence
Today's Free Kindle eBook: Mothers: Their Power and Influence
A unique bondDr Ann Dally, a practising psychiatrist, provides an in-depth perspective on mothers, based on her experience observing mothers at a personal level. Her perspective is intended to provide mothers, and new mothers, with a deeper understanding of the forces that may at times seem irrational. She explores the three stages of motherhood: enclosure, extension and separation and stresses that it is important to understand these stages to be able to identify certain behavioural patterns. Although there are a variety of other factors, understanding the mother-child relationship does play a significant role.Included throughout the book are true accounts of Dr Ann Dally's encounters with mothers and children, as well as excerpts from well-known works from D.H. Lawrence and Philip Roth, who both wrote about their own 'enclosing' mothers. Going beyond the three stages of mothering, Dr Ann Dally covers the three types of environment that tie in with the stages of mothering. This important analysis provides a further understanding of how the mother's behaviour, along with the environment that surrounds the child, impacts a child's future. Mothers: Their Power and Influence sheds light on a variety of perspectives and really explores the dynamics and behaviours that make up mother/child relationships. Praise for Ann Dally'Thorough and engaging' – Kirkus Reviews 'introduces a levelheaded view' – Kirkus Reviews 'refreshingly evenhanded' – Kirkus Reviews Dr Ann Dally (_PHONE_) was a pioneering English author and psychiatrist. She was born in London, the daughter of a distinguished lawyer and a half-American mother. She studied history, before qualifying in medicine and then in psychiatry, whilst going on to marry and have six children. Ann Dally wrote eleven books in all, including A-Z of Babies, The Intelligent Person's Guide to Modern Medicine, A Child is Born, and The Morbid Streak.

How to Play Audio using MediaPlayer using Xamarin in Visual Studio
How to Play Audio using MediaPlayer using Xamarin in Visual Studio
In the previous post (Audio Recording using MediaRecorder using Xamarin in Visual Studio), we have seen how to record an audio. In this post we are going to see how to play audio using Xamarin. The Simplest way to play audio in android is using the inbuilt MediaPlayer class.
Lets create the User interface for the App.
Add a button in the Main.axml file, assign an id (myButton) to the button, so that we can use it in the cs files.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="_URL_
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<Button
android:id="@+id/myButton"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/playAudio" />
</LinearLayout>
Now go to MainActivity.cs and do the following.
Create the Click event handler for the button (myButton) and use the MediaPlayer to play audio.
In order to play audio the following steps has to be done in the following order.
 1. Create and instantiate the MediaPlayer
 2. Set the Source for the player by passing the source as parameter for the SetDataSource method.
 3. Initialize the playback by calling the Prepare
 4. Call the Start method to start playing.
Here is a quick visual representation of the steps that you can give a quick look.

The MediaPlayer starts Playing the Audio, if the audio has to be paused, resumed or stop, we can use the following methods.
 1. To pause the Audio use the Pause
 2. To resume the Audio use the Start Which resumes form where the audio has been paused.
 3. To stop the Audio recording use the Stop
 4. Release method can use to release the resources when not needed.
Sample code is provided below.
audio play
when we run the app, we can see the button Play Audio. which plays the audio provided as Data Source.
I hope this post helps in playing the audio using Xamarin.

History of the Arizona Court of Appeals, Division One
The Arizona Legislature created the Arizona Court of Appeals in 1964 to accommodate the increase in appeals presented to the Arizona Supreme Court as the state grew in population. The court began operations in 1965 and serves as an intermediate appellate court with two divisions: Division One, based in Phoenix, and Division Two, based in Tucson.
Division One of the court came into existence with three judges and was expanded to its current number of sixteen judges throughout the years as the state's population increased. The court considers appeals emanating from eight of Arizona's fifteen counties: Apache, Coconino, La Paz, Navajo, Maricopa, Mohave, Yavapai, and Yuma. To date, 54 men and women have served as judges on the court.
The following articles were published by the Arizona Attorney in its June 2005 edition and thoroughly recount the court's initial 40 years, including personal reflections and memories. The court thanks the publishers of the Arizona Attorney for allowing the court to maintain links to the articles on this site.

Abstract/Description
Wind tunnel testing was conducted to evaluate the performance of the Integrated High Lift Propulsor (IHLP), a novel Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) system. The IHLP integrates traditional Krueger flap/slat elements with a Distributed Electric Propulsion design, enhancing high lift performance and cruise efficiency compared to conventional pylon-mounted DEP configurations. Starting from a baseline configuration determined from pretest Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analyses, a parametric study was performed to determine the influence on the aerodynamic characteristics (���� , ����, and ����). The study involved variations in flap settings, slat angles, overlap, propeller tilt, and propeller position. The impact of Reynolds number, propeller RPM, and the use of trips on system performance were also explored. Results confirmed the effectiveness of the IHLP in achieving high lift capabilities. Experimental data generally aligned with CFD predictions, with some differences noted. Future work is proposed to further explore the design space, including variations in propeller diameter and spanwise spacing, and to provide a comprehensive comparison between experimental and CFD-predicted results. The findings from the experimental work suggest the IHLP as a promising technology for advancing high lift capabilities in DEP systems.

Cell Picker is an automated high throughput cell filtering system. Utilizing motorized microscope and pump, with the help of digital camera and computer vision, Cell Picker is able to speed up the selection of a few cells in 107 from weeks to hours.
Being able to select few cells in many cells are alway playing an important role in advanced research in life science. It can be used in early screening in cancer and infant genetics test. However, this is always an error-prone, time consuming, tiresome process for researchers. Cell Picker proposed an innovation solution to the problem. Using automated lab equipment, cell picker greatly simplify the selection process and offload the replicate process to the machine.
Cell picker is made of a fully automated microscope, a motorized microscope platform, a micro manipulator with nano pipette and an electronic pump. A software I made control them to perform the desired task and show user an interaction interface.
Cell picker use a 2 step procedure with computer assistance to greatly speed up the process:
1) Cell Picker automatically dispense the diluted sample across a 384 well board. 2) Cell Picker take photo of each cells with user-defined fluorescence filters and display the result on an application, with suggestion of which one might contain cell. 3) Experimenter select the cell, collect the sample and place it on an in-house special made glass slide, with micrometer-sized wells.
4) Cell Picker wait cell to fall into wells and take pictures covers the whole slide with user-defined fluorescence filters, tile it and present it to the use. 5) Experimenter select the well that contains the cells contain cells. 6) Cell Picker collect all sample in the designated wells.
By adapting the procedure, cell picker greatly reduce time to select cell by first filter out most cells in the first procedure, and even less time is required for the experimenter. With the computer assistance, the experiment have higher accuracy and repeatability.
