your delivery URL.
 - Simplify the enabling/disabling of transformations in Strict Transformations mode.
Named transformations can include other named transformations, which allows you to define a chain of transformations to run on multiple assets more easily.
Named transformations are required for baseline transformations, which save processing time and cost by avoiding regeneration of the baseline part of the transformation.
You can create and manage named transformations via the API or in the console UI using the Transformation Builder.
Named Transformation UI
Once the named transformation has been defined, you can transform an asset with the transformation parameter (t for URLs) and the name of your named transformation. For example t_instagram-auto-crop.
You can include user-defined variables in your named transformations, and then pass the value for the user-defined variable into the transformation from an external source. This enables creating a named transformation 'template' with a lot of flexibility.
For example, you could define a complex named transformation that includes a text overlay as a named transformation, using a user-defined variable for the text string value.
You can also set named transformations as transformation templates, which you can apply as templates in the Media Library so that you can preview how assets will look with different named transformations applied.
For more details, see user-defined variables. For a use-case example demonstrating named transformations with user-defined variables, see Using variables with named transformations.
Notes
 - Updating the transformation definition for a named transformation via the Admin API does not automatically update assets that were already derived/delivered with that named transformation. To apply the new definition to any already derived assets that use that named transformation, you must specifically invalidate those transformations or otherwise modify the other parameters in that delivery URL, so that the asset will be re-derived using the new definition.
 However, when updating the transformation definition of a named transformation via the Cloudinary Console, if the named transformation is used in fewer than 1000 existing derived assets, those assets are automatically invalidated and will use the new named transformation definition the next time they are requested. If more than 1000 existing derived assets use the named transformation, then existing derived assets are not updated and only newly generated derived assets will use the new definition.
 You can use the regen_derived CLI command to regenerate derived assets after updating a transformation definition for a named transformation.
 - When creating named transformations that may be applied to assets by other users, it's important to be aware that not all formats are supported for transformations. Applying a named transformation to an asset that has an unsupported format will result in an error. See a list of supported formats.
Creating named transformations
You can create a named transformation programmatically or using the Transformations UI in your Cloudinary console:
To create a named transformation programmatically, use the Transformations Admin API method. The following example defines a named transformation called small_profile_thumbnail that uses automatic cropping to resize assets to the required size for a particular application's thumbnail display:
For more details and examples, see the Create Transformation method in the Admin API Reference.
To create a named transformation using the UI: Expand the Transform and Customize section, accessible from the Console Product Navigation menu.
From here, there are a few ways to create a named transformation:
 - Start with a transformation from the Transformations Center as a template and experiment with it in the UI, click Use it to open the Transformation Builder and refine the transformation to your needs, and finally save it with your chosen name.
 Transformations Gallery UI
 - View all your delivered dynamic transformations (those that were generated and delivered on the fly) in the Log tab of the Manage Transformations page and save one of those with your chosen name.
 - Create a new transformation from scratch using the Transformation Builder (Beta) and save with your chosen name. Open the builder by clicking New Transformation from either of the Transform and Customize pages.
Note
Names used for named transformations:
 - Must contain valid UTF8 characters only
 - Must not contain more than 1024 characters
 - Must not contain any of these characters: \, /, ?, &, #, %, ., ,, <, >
Once you've saved your named transformations, you can view a list of them on the Named Transformations tab of the Manage Transformations page of the Console. From here, you can edit, copy, or enable/disable Strict Transformations.
You can also select to include a transformation as a preset so that it can be applied to an asset in the Download Options tab of the asset management drill-down page.
Transformation Builder
The Cloudinary Transformation Builder is the UI for creating and saving your transformations in a simple and easy to use way. The Transformation Builder has two modes of operation:
 - Construct: Build transformations manually by selecting and configuring transformation actions.
 - Converse: Build transformations using AI chat by describing the transformation with natural language.
Important
Converse mode is currently in Beta and may not yet be enabled for your account. Some implementation details may change before the official release. We invite you to request access and share any feedback via our support team.
Transformation Builder video tutorial
Watch this video for a quick introduction to the Transformation Builder:
Create a transformation using the Builder
To create a new transformation, open the Builder or head to the Transformation Center and click New Transformation. You will be taken to the Transformation Builder UI where you can select the mode to use.
Construct and Converse selector
Construct mode
The Transformation Builder in construct mode provides:
 - A simple and intuitive UI for selecting and configuring transformation actions - easily discover actions and parameters as you build.
 - Transformations built as a series of self-contained actions so you can see the results of each one as you apply it.
 - URL and SDK code ready to copy and paste directly to your code.
 - The ability to update the default preview image to something from your own product environment.
 - Quick edit functionality, to easily add transformations using URL syntax.
Transformation Builder in construct mode
The builder supports most common transformation actions. If the transformation action you are trying to apply is not listed, you can add an Additional Transformation action and use transformation URL syntax to specify your transformation. Alternatively, you can switch to the legacy editor to create your transformation.
Converse mode
The Transformation Builder in converse mode provides:
 - An AI-powered conversational interface to describe the transformation you want to create with natural language.
 - Iterative prompts to continue the conversation and perfect the transformation.
 - URL and SDK code ready to copy and paste directly to your code.
 - The ability to update the default preview image to something from your own product environment.
Transformation Builder in converse mode
Notes and limitations:
 - The conversational interface is powered by GPT.
 - It answers questions related to Cloudinary transformations only.
 - The use of AI, including the GPT model, means that answers may not be 100% accurate.
 - We have implemented mechanisms to improve the accuracy of results for transaction-related queries compared to using ChatGPT directly.
 - We are continually learning and making improvements as this technology progresses.
Named transformation examples
Below are some examples using named transformations that have been defined for the Cloudinary demo product environment:
 - round-if-portrait (defined as if_ar_lt_1/r_50/if_end): If the original video's aspect ratio is less than 1 (portrait), round the edges of the video.
 - portrait-resize-g_auto (defined as ar_3:4,c_fill,g_auto,h_300): Fill crop the video to a height of 300 and an aspect ratio of 3:4, automatically retaining focus on the main subject in the cropped video.
 - logo-overlay: (defined as l_cloudinary_icon_white/o_50/e_brightness:100/w_0.2,fl_relative/fl_layer_apply,g_north_east,y_0.01,x_0.01): Add a brightened and partially transparent logo to the top right of the video. Scale the logo width to be 20% of the overall video width.
Chaining named transformations

You can also chain multiple named transformations. For example, to chain the named transformations defined in the previous section (along with an additional transformation to shorten the video duration):

Chaining transformations can create long URLs, so instead you could define a named transformation that includes a chain of other transformations, including other named transformations. For example, we can create a named transformation that is a composite of the named transformations from the section above.
It is now simple to specify a single named transformation and apply it to any asset:

Where the demo-combine-named named transformation is defined as: t_round-if-portrait/t_portrait-resize-g_auto/t_logo-overlay.
Limitations of named transformations
Automatic format
The automatic format transformation parameter (f_auto) is not effective if used in named transformations.
When f_auto is used in a delivery URL, the CDN layer determines the best format to deliver. If this parameter is hidden in a named transformation then it is not visible to the CDN.
You can use f_auto together with a named transformation by chaining the components, for example, t_square/f_auto.
Automatic quality
The automatic quality transformation parameter (q_auto) is effective in named transformations, except in one situation.
When q_auto is used in a delivery URL and the browser sets the Save-Data HTTP header to on in the request, q_auto is translated to q_auto:eco at the CDN level. If this parameter is hidden in a named transformation then it is not visible to the CDN, so the default level

Bunting, banners and threats for Winegrower's Revolt anniversary
- Monday 11 June 2007
This September, during the traditional European Culture Day that takes place on September 19-20, the Languedoc-Roussillon region has taken the Winegrower's Revolt as its theme.
Special events will take place in the village of Marseillan, where the leader of the uprising lived and worked, while commemorative objects, from banners to statues, will be placed in villages around the region.
Local museums and wine properties will have exhibitions on related topics such as how to preserve the viticultural landscape of the Languedoc against increasingly industrialised winemaking practises.
June 2007 is the 100th anniversary of the uprising – the first time that southern French winemakers voiced their frustration through angry demonstrations that flooded over into violence.
Cheap wine from Algeria was flooding the Midi, and winemakers were going bankrupt en masse. Marcellin Albert, an innkeeper and winemaker from Marseillan, organised The Winegrowers' Revolt, with huge demonstrations in Montpellier, Narbonne and Béziers involving up to 800,000 demonstrators that led to six deaths.
Remy Pech, a local historian who has been researching the revolt, has commented, 'It is important to remember an event that shaped not just the region but the entire country.'
At the same time the protest group CRAV (Comité Regional d'Action Viticole) – which over the past few years has been responsible for bombings, attempted sabotage on TGV tracks and other direct action – appeared recently on local TV with the exhortation, 'Wine producers, we appeal to you to revolt. Show yourselves to be the worthy successors of the rebels of 1907, when people died so that future generations might earn their living from the land.'
Other events to remember the centenary have been going on throughout the year in Languedoc-Roussillon.
In April, a Vignerons d'Europe conference was held in Montpellier in conjunction with Slow Food France. Over 1,000 winemakers from around Europe met at the conference, and the centenary was used as a basis for discussing the current wine crisis.

HTML5, the successor of Flash, has improved upon its predecessor's flaws – the lack of support for mobile devices, for example. However, moving your Flash-based learning ecosystem to HTML5-based e-learning involves a significant budget, and more importantly demands careful planning.
Before you go ahead with the migration, you need to be certain of the approach you have chosen. In this blog, I will offer you a handy checklist to help you when planning for a Flash to HTML5 migration.
1. List all the courses you want to convert/migrate
The first step – and the most important one – you must follow is, recognizing the various Flash-based courses that you want to convert to HTML5. This is especially vital if you are planning for a pilot approach where you want to convert a few courses and see how your learning audience is going to respond to it. It is ok to test the waters before you convert all the courses.
2. Ensure all the source files are in place
The next important step is to gather all the source files of the legacy courses. Source files are essentially the files a developer uses to create the e-learning, before exporting them for the final output (e-learning course). If your legacy courses were developed by an in-house development team or by a third-party content vendor, ensure that you compile all the related source files. These source files will contain all of your text, media, and resources. Having all these source files in place ensures that your migration process is smooth.
3. Identify the need: Technology update vs. complete redesign
There may be some courses in your repository of legacy courses which may do well with just a technology update, and there may be others that need a complete visual overhaul. Identify the need by evaluating the overall nature of upliftment and then chart a priority list. For your understanding, here's an example of how you can map your priorities:
- Courses that you have developed recently may require only a technology upliftment (Conversion to HTML5 with no instructional design involved)
- Compliance courses (if any) that will work just fine with a visual uplift
- Legacy courses may have to be restructured completely (including instructional design)
4. Evaluate converting long courses to shorter, bite-sized mobile learning
Today's learners expect training to be short, yet useful. They may not have the patience to sit through an hour-long course. It's crucial to understand that your learners are multi-device users (Smartphones, tablets), which means that you have to evaluate a completely different approach for them. Besides, Smartphones and tablets, in the past few years, have been shaping how learners access training resources.
From your repository of legacy courses, identify courses that are anywhere between 1 and 2 hours (more than 50 slides), and convert them into short, digestible courses, also called mobile learning. Mobile learning, as the name suggests, refers to accessing training resources on portable mobile devices, such as Smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The other advantage of mobile learning is that these courses can act as performance support tools (PSTs) for your multi-device learners, who would want to learn and improve their skills even when they are away from the training.
5. Select an authoring tool which supports responsive e-learning
If your mobile learning courses are to work seamlessly on all types of mobile devices, then you need a tool that supports responsive e-learning development. Responsive e-learning is developing online courses that can be accessed efficiently on multiple devices. The courses are "responsive" to the varying screen sizes of various digital devices and provide an optimal viewing experience.
One of the biggest advantages of moving from Flash-based to HTML5-based e-learning is mobile learning. Mobile learning has been growing in popularity among the learning and development community, and especially among the new-age learners who use multiple devices to access training. It is not only important to cater to your learners' needs, but also join and move along with the technology that is shaping the e-learning space – in your case, moving from Flash to HTML5.

Copy Drawn Objects From One Layer to One or More Other Layers
This function works on all kinds of obstructs, planes, plane shapes, conductive areas, solder mask shapes, and rule areas.
Select one or more objects to copy. Then press "Copy Selected Objects" button. The objects will be listed in the window/box underneath the button.
In the Destination Layers box, enter the layers you want the source shape to be copied to. You can enter any combination of numbers with commas, spaces, or dashes to indicate the destination layers. For example:
 - 1 2 9-11 15: This will copy to layers 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, and 15
 - 2-7, 12-15: This will copy to layers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15
 - 4, 5, 6, 12-16: This will copy to layers 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
Press the copy objects button. (Read and acknowledge warning pop-up. Please be aware, all these shapes will be copied with DRC off. It's easy to create DRC errors when doing this, so check for DRC errors afterwards.) Note: check status line at bottom of Shapester window for results.
Shape Creation Parameters
Hug Pad Slider
The hug pad slider determines how tightly the resulting shape matches the source shapes. You can think of this like a sheet draped over some furniture, or a vacuum-sealed plastic wrapper. The farther to the right the slider is, the more it is like a loosely draped sheet. The more to the left it is, the more the resulting shape will be like a vacuum-wrapped object.
If the source objects you select for shape creation are too far apart, Shapester may not be able to make a shape that connects them. If the shape creation fails, the first thing to do is try moving the slider farther to the right.
Oversize Amount
The over-size amount box lets you specify an amount (in the current design units) to increase the size of the resulting shape over the size of the source shapes.
Note: Use the Hug Pad Slider and Oversize amount together to manipulate the size and shape of the resulting object.
Fix Created Objects: Check to fix the created shape.
Lock Created Objects: Check to lock the created shape.
The corners of created shapes can be made in several ways: Square, Round, Chamfered, and Mixed Square / Round.
They are fairly self-explanatory, but it's worth noting that the Mixed Square / Round mode will create round inside corners and square outside corners. For example, when adding a plane shape to connect the belly pad of an IC with ground pins around the perimeter, you might want the outside corners squared off but the inside corners to have a radius. This mode will achieve that.
The Mixed Square/Round mode has another modifier, Round Again. If this checkbox is checked, the shape will be generally similar to Mixed Square/Round mode, but the outside corners will be rounded.
Keep Selection: This checkbox is on by default. When checked, it maintains the previous selection set of objects after the Undo button is pressed, so that you don't have to reselect everything you just had selected if you want to undo and change the parameters.
Enable Plane Selection for Shape Creation: This option is defined separately so that existing plane shapes can be included or excluded from the creation of new plane shapes. When plane shapes are used as source objects, they are incorporated into the new shape and the old one is deleted.
Reselect Last: When trying various setups to get a shape to come out the way you want, you may inadvertently unselect the objects you want to use as source objects. This button will reselect the last items used as source objects so you can use them again.
Shape Creation:
The following functions use existing objects to create other shapes. The source objects can be pin pads, via pads, traces, plane shapes, conductive shapes, and in some cases, polygons or other shapes on user layers.
Make Plane Shape
Make a plane shape out of existing objects.
Select all desired source objects, set the desired parameters, and press the "Make Plane Shape" button.
Bury pins: when plane parameters specify thermal reliefs on pin pads and vias, checking this box will create an override that will flood those pins and/or vias.
Make plane shapes trace keepouts: this option sets the parameter on the plane shape that turns it into a trace keepout.
Make Plane Obstruct
If a plane clearance for specific objects needs to be larger than the default spacing rule, the over-size amount can be set to a higher value than the existing plane clearance, and a plane obstruct can be made for those objects with the larger clearance.
Select objects, set oversize amount to the desired clearance, and press the "Make Plane Obstruct" button.
Make Plane Clearance on Adjacent Layers Under Other Objects
Select the pads, set the oversize amount if the clearance needs to be larger than the pads, and press the "Make Plane Clearance on Adjacent Layers Under Other Objects" button.
Process pads individually: to make clearances under multiple pads that are far away from each other, select this option so that Shapester does not try to combine resulting shape from all pads.
Make Solder Mask Clearance
On some boards, it may be necessary to remove solder mask from an entire surface layer. This is done with a large shape on the appropriate solder mask layer in Xpedition. If there are components installed on that layer, it will be necessary to make a hole in that solder mask shape around the components. This function creates a solder mask shape, which can be removed from a larger solder mask shape, to produce the hole, resulting in solder mask being applied to the area around the components when the board is fabricated.
Set the over-size amount to provide adequate solder mask area, select pads (in route mode), then press the Make Solder Mask Clearance button.
Full Layer Solder Mask Clearance
This function automates the process of making a solder mask clearance on an entire surface layer and then making holes in that shape around all the components on that layer. When executed, this function raises another dialog with its own controls.
The select layer drop down is used to select the top or bottom layer of the board.
Press the GO button to begin the process.
When using this function, a dialog will appear that indicates optimal settings for the hug pads slider and the over-size amount. Typically, the hug pad slider should be all the way to the right, and the over-size amount should be set to a minimum of 10 mil or.25 mm to produce an adequate solder mask area around component pads. The over-size amount may be adjusted according to fabrication process capability.
Depending on the size of the board and number of components, this process could take several minutes.
Convert Plane to Area/Area to Plane
This functions turns planes into conductive shapes or conductive shapes into planes. Net assignment does not change. Select any plane or conductive shape and press the Convert Plane to Area/Area to Plane button to execute the function.
Report Area of Selected Objects
Select an object and press the Report Area of Selected Objects button. The area of the object is reported in a pop-up window.
Fill Empty Spaces With a Plane
(And we don't mean the kind with wings.)
This function floods open areas on the active layer with a plane shape of the net specified in the Fill Space drop-down box. After you click the Fill Empty Spaces button, click in an empty area of the board area to fill the space with a plane shape.
Round Corner / Chamfer Corner:
This function is used to convert sharp corner vertices in existing shapes to chamfered or rounded. This function does the same thing as the built in shape vertex type control in the Properties dialog in Xpedition, but it's much easier and faster to use. You set the chamfer / radius value, the press either the Round Corner or Chamfer Corner buttons to initiate the command. After pressing the button, move your cursor into the Xpedition window and hover over the vertex you want to change. A red diamond snap marker will appear, indicating which vertex the action will happen on. Click near the vertex to select it. The vertex will then be changed.
If you want to add chamfers or radii to all the vertices in a shape at once, check the Chamfer / Round Entire Shape checkbox, and do the same as above. Pick any vertex in the shape. All the vertices in the shape will be changed if the adjacent line segments are long enough to accommodate the radius or chamfer.
Trim Planes to Route Border
If plane shapes extend beyond the route border, this function can be used to trim them back to the route border. The net assignment and plane parameters of the plane are maintained. Select one or more plane shapes, then press the Trim Planes to Route Border button. The plane shapes will be automatically trimmed.

Descripción: In this paper we argue that the fitness of a strategic initiative relative to the firm's internal selection environment hinges on distinct characteristics that enhance survival in the strategic and structural contexts. We test this proposition using data on 962 strategic initiatives originating from ten research and development centers over seven years within a global electronics firm. Our findings suggest that initiative survival in the strategic context is positively influenced by characteristics that enhance interpersonal exchanges and tacit knowledge transfer between an initiative and the headquarters evaluation team. These include geographical proximity to corporate headquarters and the success record of the initiative's champion. In the structural context, initiative survival is negatively influenced by characteristics that increase uncertainty among members of the headquarters evaluation team about the success of the initiative. These include indicators of implementation complexity and the degree of exploration inherent in an initiative's goals. Moreover, fitness characteristics interact across the structural and strategic contexts such that the past success of the champion weakens the negative influences of implementation complexity and exploratory goals on initiative survival. For theory, the results demonstrate the relevance of fitness characteristics as predictors of initiative survival and highlight the positive influence of more tacit, personal characteristics in conditioning the negative effects of more explicit uncertainties in initiative survival.

Transpower shares innovative drone technology with students
23 November 2016
Transpower shares innovative drone technology with local students
Transpower today announced Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS, or drones) will shortly be used to conduct aerial surveys along the transmission lines connecting Albany and Henderson in Auckland.
On Monday 28 November, Transpower will host two live demonstrations of this technology in action, giving local communities a preview of what the surveys will look like later in the month. The first demonstration will be a live aerial survey of transmission lines in Whenuapai. The second demonstration will take place at nearby Kristin School, as part of a digital technology lesson.
Transpower's General Manager Grid Development Stephen Jay said as owner and operator of the National Grid, we undertake a large number of aerial operations to assess the quality and condition of transmission lines.
"By using a combination of RPAS technology and helicopters, we can achieve considerable efficiencies in how we inspect and maintain the National Grid.
"This exercise will allow us to assess locations where using RPAS technology instead of helicopters could be a less intrusive for landowners and improve safety for our staff while helping us to better understand where manned aerial operations will still be required.
"I look forward to showing local schools, industry and members of the community how this exciting technology works at our demonstrations next week," he said.
Details of the drone demonstration
The first demonstration will take place on Monday 28 November from 12:00pm-1:00pm, at a property in Whenuapai. A helicopter and a drone will be conducting an aerial inspection within easy sight of the viewing area.
The second demonstration will take place at Kristin School at 2pm. The drone will land on the school field and conduct a survey of the grounds as part of a digital technology lesson.
- Guidelines for RPAS use are available on Transpower's website: _URL_ These are to be applied in addition to the Civil Aviation Authority Regulations governing RPAS use.
- From February 2017, Transpower will be carrying out additional trials of RPAS across the Rimutakas, in consultation with the Civil Aviation Authority and local airspace users viathe Airshare website.

Ophthalmology grand opening chapter, all the friends gathered in Gusu. From November 11 to 12, 2023, the 5th Suzhou International Medical Imaging Symposium and the 3rd Suzhou International Ophthalmic Artificial Intelligence Forum was successfully held in Suzhou, which was jointly organized by the Medical Imaging Processing and Analysis Laboratory of Soochow University and the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Eye Diseases and organized by Suzhou Big Vision Medical.
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made amazing achievements in the fields of computer vision and medical image analysis. In the clinical diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmology, artificial intelligence has also shown broad application and market prospects. Big Vioion Medical focuses on the research and development of software and hardware systems for artificial intelligence analysis and diagnosis of ophthalmic imaging. It has established an industry-research-learning integration platform in cooperation with the Medical Image Processing and Analysis Laboratory of Soochow University, actively carried out the deep integration of school and enterprise resources, and promoted the transformation of scientific and technological innovation. So far, it has successfully cooperated with Suzhou International Ophthalmic Artificial Intelligence Forum for two times. In the golden autumn, the third forum was successfully held, attracting the participation of many professionals and scholars at home and abroad, showing the latest development results of artificial intelligence enabling ophthalmic imaging to the industry, accelerating the application of artificial intelligence technology in the field of ophthalmology, and playing a positive role in promoting the integration of industry, education and research as well as international exchanges.
Opening of the Conference
The conference opened in the Academic lecture Hall of Binglin Hall in Dushu Lake Campus of Soochow University. Professor Chen Xinjian from Soochow University, Professor Xu Xun from Shanghai First People's Hospital, Professor Tian Jie from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Professor Milan Sonka from University of Iowa were the co-chairs of the conference. At the beginning of the conference, the chairman of the conference delivered a speech to express warm congratulations and sincere thanks to the guests, experts and industry colleagues attending the conference.
Professor Jie Ying from Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University delivered a wonderful speech on the application of artificial intelligence in dry eye. Professor Jie Ying pointed out in the report that dry eye, as a chronic eye disease, is a major problem that plagues the national life, causing a heavy mental and living burden. However, the traditional examination methods are cumbersome and troublesome, resulting in inefficient detection procedures. In this regard, Professor Jie Ying proposed the examination principle of "from non-contact to contact, from non-invasive to invasive, from local to systemic", and said that the introduction of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of dry eye can effectively assist the diagnosis, and the evaluation is more accurate, diverse and efficient, which is of great clinical significance. Professor Jie Ying gave full approval to the artificial intelligence dry eye detector newly listed by Big Vision Medical, and praised it, "It can complete a number of comprehensive examinations, the report results are easy to understand, the examination data and classification level are clear at a glance, which is convenient for doctor-patient communication."
Professor Zou Haidong, Vice president of Shanghai First People's Hospital, gave a wonderful speech on "Strategy construction of artificial intelligence for sustainable eye disease screening". Professor Zou Haidong raised a thought-provoking question during his report "What can artificial intelligence do for ordinary people?" And pointed out that "Shanghai's medical resources are very rich compared with the whole country, but there are only 0.74 eye doctors in 10 000 people, which shows the serious shortage of eye doctors in other areas." In this regard, Professor Zou Haidong said that eye health screening and prevention work in most areas has not been put in place. To solve the problem, "system improvement is the fundamental solution. Pursue the digitization of services rather than the digitization of technology." The intervention of artificial intelligence is expected to change the current situation, such as establishing an intelligent management center for visual health in the community, and realizing large-scale eye disease screening at the grassroots level through automatic screening equipment, quality control platform, AI platform, and mobile terminal services.Professor finally Zou Haidong through sensitivity analysis for the first time put forward "after AI application effect on the application of the health services, is important to improve screening efficiency via" point of view.
Professor Wu Xixi from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine delivered a wonderful speech on the clinical application of the eye health management platform for children aged 0-18 years. Professor Wu Xixi pointed out that 0-6 years old is an important period for children's eye care and vision examination, and eye diseases during this period may affect children's eye development if they are not diagnosed and treated in time. The use of an information platform to interface with a variety of intelligent vision and refractive screening equipment can greatly reduce the screening time, manpower and material resources investment, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of screening. The importance of vision screening for myopia prevention and control in children and adolescents aged 7-18 years should not be underestimated. During this period, children and adolescents are prone to suffer from pseudomyopia, true myopia, astigmatism or asthenopia, among which high myopia may lead to blindness. During the lecture, Professor Wu Xixi said that the current domestic ophthalmic equipment has made great progress in clinical efficiency and accuracy, especially in large-area vision screening and other functions, which is not inferior to foreign equipment, which is deeply felt in the experience of Big Vision medical equipment. And expressed the hope that domestic scientific research companies represented by Bigway Medical will get better and better on the road of high precision ophthalmic equipment research and development.
Professor Chen Xinjian, the founder of Big Vision Medical and Soochow University, gave a wonderful speech on "Artificial Intelligence diagnosis of ophthalmic Imaging".Professor Chen Xinjian pointed out that there are many problems in the current situation of ophthalmic medical treatment, such as the wide prevalence of ophthalmic diseases, difficult to detect, and large market. In addition, there is a serious shortage of high-level ophthalmologists, especially in primary care.In this regard, Professor Chen Xinjian pointed out that "artificial intelligence + intelligent ophthalmic equipment is the fundamental way out to solve the shortage of ophthalmic medical resources in primary hospitals in China."In addition, the latest development of artificial intelligence diagnosis of ophthalmic imaging was presented to the experts and scholars, involving multiple research directions such as fundus image classification and segmentation based on meta-learning, fundus color photography artificial intelligence diagnosis, and OCT artificial intelligence diagnosis of ophthalmic imaging.
Professor Chen also brought the research and development achievements of Bigway Medical intelligent ophthalmic equipment, including MIAS2000, the industry's first multi-modal ophthalmic image storage processing and analysis system; MIAS3000 is expected to be approved by the world's first OCT-assisted diagnosis category 3 certificate in June 2024, becoming the world's first OCT-assisted diagnosis system approved for Category 3 certificate. OCT BV1000 series, automatic artificial intelligence; Visual acuity screening instrument BVS200 series is objective, fast and easy to use. The BVD6600 dry eye detector is comprehensive, intelligent and accurate.

Bismuth concentrations as low as 10 ng g-1 in 100-mg samples of geological materials can be determined by atomic absorption spectrometry with electrothermal atomization. After HF—HClO4 decomposition of the sample, bismuth is extracted as the iodide into methyl isobutyl ketone and is then stripped with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid into the aqueous phase. Aliquots of this solution are pipetted into the graphite furnace and dried, charred, and atomized in an automated sequence. Atomic absorbance at the Bi 223.1-nm line provides a measure of the amount of bismuth present. Results are presented for 14 U.S. Geological Survey standard rocks.

describes a product history of electric rice cookers developed by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. At first, it is stressed that the world's first electric rice cooker was commercialized in 1923 by Mitsubishi Electric, although it was not widespread so much for home use, mainly because the home electrification had been still underdeveloped in Japan. In addition, it is also stressed that the old Japanese culture of holding the cooked rice in heat-insulated serving containers could be maintained in a different way by using a new type of electric rice cooker and warmer commercialized in 1976 by Mitsubishi Electric. Following the early history of electric rice cookers, this article steps into an introduction of several rice cookers commercialized afterwards by Mitsubishi Electric.
(2) Reference [2]: This article reveals a hidden story of the world's first 'automated electric rice cooker' commercialized in 1955 by Toshiba Corporation. The story written here briefs the following facts:
1) This 'automated electric rice cooker' contributed greatly to the kitchen revolution.
2) This rice cooker was commercialized by employing the so-called 'double-chamber indirect rice cooking method'.
3) This rice cooker was used in the following manner: Rice was placed into a rice bowl, and water into a surrounding container. When the water in the container boiled off, the temperature of the rice bowl rose rapidly, and a thermostat then activated and automatically turned off the heater to prevent burning of the cooked rice.
This article also touches on an early series of Toshiba's products; a rice cooker with a keep-warm facility commercialized in 1972, one with microprocessor-controlled facilities released in 1979, a higher-end IH rice cooker put on sale in 1988, etc. Finally, it is added that since 1990 Toshiba had commercialized 6～7 million units of rice cookers par year.

''Renewable energy consumption, financial development and economic growth: Evidence from panel data for the Middle East and North African countries''
( 2020, Vol. 40 No.3 )
This paper aims to explore the relationship between economic growth and financial development of the MENA countries over the period 1990 to 2015. The results of the fixed and random effect tests showed that there is a negative relationship between renewable energy consumption and economic growth, but their impact on oil-importing countries is greater than that of oil-exporting countries. While the impact of domestic credit to the private sector has a positive affect economic growth, it appears that its impact on oil-importing countries is greater than that on oil exporting. In addition, the unidirectional causality stems from growth to domestic credit in long run, the bidirectional causality between economic growth and renewable energy consumption in the MENA. In the case of oil-importing countries, there is no causal relationship between the variables, whereas for the oil-exporting countries there is a unidirectional causality that extends from real GDP to domestic credit, as well as from renewable energy consumption to real GDP. In addition, there is unidirectional causality that stems from the domestic credit to energy consumption. These results indicate that the MENA countries are an economy independent of energy and that economic growth is crucial in providing the resources necessary for sustainable development.
Keywords: Renewable energy consumption, financial development, economic growth, MENA, panel data.

Buying guide for best kids' wakeboards
Wakeboarding is to waterskiing what snowboarding is to skiing, so kids are often drawn to its cool image. If your child wants to get into wakeboarding, you'll need to buy an appropriate kids' wakeboard for her to learn and practice on. Although some facilities may rent wakeboards, they don't always have great options for kids. Plus, if your child really takes to the sport, she will eventually want her own wakeboard, anyway, so it works out cheaper in the long run to purchase one, rather than throwing away money on rental fees.
There's plenty to consider when buying a kids' wakeboard, so it can be baffling, especially if you're not a wakeboarder yourself. For starters, the board will need to be an appropriate length for the size of your child and have appropriately sized bindings. You'll also need to consider a range of other factors, such as the rocker, edges, and base style.
Either choose from one of our top kids' wakeboards or read our full guide below to learn more.
Pick a stable and buoyant kids' wakeboard, especially if your child is new to the sport.
Key considerations
Kids' wakeboards are measured in centimeters, and models are often only available in a single length. The exact length varies depending on the brand and model, but they generally measure between 115 and 130 centimeters. As a rule, longer boards are better for kids who weigh more and shorter boards are better for kids who weigh less. So, if your child is of an average weight for their age, younger kids tend to require shorter board than older kids. Slightly longer boards can provide more stability, but this can come at the price of maneuverability, so don't choose any board that's too long for your child's height and weight.
The term "rocker" refers to the way that a wakeboard curves lengthwise, from end to end. The majority of kids' wakeboards feature what is known as "continuous rocker." Wakeboards with continuous rocker have a gradual curve from end to end (whereas those with three-stage rocker have a flat bottom with a steep curve at either end). Continuous rocker gives you a smooth ride and easier maneuverability, which is ideal for the majority of kids. However, you can also find a handful of kids' wakeboards with three-stage rocker, which is better for performing jumps and other tricks. Those with a mild three-stage rocker is preferable, which means the upward curve at each end is slightly less pronounced. This gives the rider a better middle ground between a smooth, stable ride and the ability to catch air with ease.
The base, or underside, of a kids' wakeboard may have various protrusions and dips that impact the performance. Channels are long thin ridges that help to break the surface tension of the water for a smoother riding experience. Concaves are dents that create lift, allowing a wakeboard to almost hover on the water. Again, this gives you a smoother ride, which is excellent for young riders still finding their balance. V-spines are meant to help soften landings after jumps, so they aren't hugely common on wakeboards for kids, unless they're designed for intermediate or advanced junior wakeboarders.
Kids' wakeboard edges can either be rounded or sharp, though the majority are rounded. Wakeboards with rounded edges are slower and have poorer acceleration, but are more stable and therefore excellent for young riders. Boards with sharp edges give better acceleration and overall speed through the water and are great for carving through boat wakes, but are more challenging to master, so they're best left to people with a greater amount of experience on the water.
Bindings are the boots that keep a rider's feet attached to the wakeboard. Although the bulk of kids' wakeboards have bindings included, some don't so you'll need to buy them separately.
This isn't too hard a task, however, since bindings are universal and should fit any standard kids' wakeboard. In addition to choosing bindings of the correct size to fit your child's feet, you'll need to choose between open-toe and closed-toe bindings.
Open-toe bindings are like boots with the toe part cut off. They give great heel-toe response and tend to be included with more affordable kids' wakeboard packages. Although they're not a one-size-fits-all solution, each pair will fit a range of three to four shoe sizes. This will accommodate quickly growing feet and is helpful if you have two or more kids with different sized feet who'll share the same wakeboard.
Closed-toe bindings are more like a complete boot. They give the rider slightly more control over their board, are more padded and comfortable than open-toe options, and keep the feet warmer. While they're not as versatile, size-wise, as open-toe bindings, they're usually designed to fit two shoe sizes, such as 8 to 9 or 11 to 12. Since closed-toe bindings are more expensive to produce, they tend to only be found on high-end kids' wakeboards.
Fins are an optional extra for kids' wakeboards. Although wakeboards function perfectly without them, fins provide more grip to the water's surface and overall stability. As such, fins can be useful for beginner riders, especially long fins, which provide the greatest amount of grip and stability. The downside is that fins make it more difficult to lift out of the water for jumps and tricks, though this isn't a huge issue for kids who are just starting out. Wakeboard fins can either be removable or molded into the body of the board.
Kids' wakeboards with removable fins are more versatile, since you can choose between fins or no fins, and a board with the fin removed is easier to transport and store.
While it doesn't affect performance in any way, kids naturally want wakeboards with cool patterns or designs. You shouldn't choose a kids' wakeboard based on design alone, but if you narrow your options down to a shortlist, you could let your child choose which design he likes best. If you find a kids' wakeboard marked as a "blem" board, this means there's a blemish of some kind in the design. Blem boards are cheaper than equivalent unblemished wakeboards, and sometimes the flaw in the design makes a cool or unique effect that you won't find on other boards of the same make and model.
For your safety
Your child should always wear a life jacket or personal floatation device while wakeboarding, even if she's a strong swimmer.
Kids' wakeboard prices
Kids' wakeboards need all the same components as adult wakeboards, they're just slightly smaller, so they're not much cheaper than their full-sized counterparts.
Inexpensive: You can find a handful of inexpensive kids' wakeboards between $100 and $150. These are either extremely basic models or are blem boards (wakeboards with some kind of blemish, such as a misaligned design).
Mid-range: You can find some excellent kids' wakeboards for $150 to $250, so the majority of buyers don't need to spend more than this.
Expensive: High-end kids' wakeboards cost as much as $250 to $350. These are generally made for bigger kids and young teens or are for more experienced young wakeboarders.
 - Choose a lightweight kids' wakeboard. It shouldn't be too heavy for your child to carry or lift out of the water. Young children might still need some assistance, but kids of around 8 years old and up should be able to handle their board solo.
 - Pick a kids' wakeboard that's suited to your child's experience. The majority of kids' wakeboards are designed for beginners, but you can find some suited to more advanced youngsters.
 - Consider where your child will be wakeboarding. Will she be pulled from a boat or riding at a cable park? Boards designed for park use tend to have more flex and fewer protruding features that could catch on hardware at a cable park.
 - Think about how often your child will use his wakeboard. If you live near a place where you can wakeboard year-round (weather conditions permitting) and your child may advance quickly as a result, it may be worth buying a somewhat higher-end board. On the other hand, a budget wakeboard will suffice if your child will only be riding it for a week or two in the summer.
Twin-tipped wakeboards are the same on board ends, so they can be ridden either way. The majority of modern kids' wakeboards are twin-tipped.
Q. Is wakeboarding safe for children?
There's a risk of injury with any physical activity, so it's impossible to say that wakeboarding is 100% safe for children, but that shouldn't put you off. As long as you teach your child to wakeboard carefully and don't push them to perform above his abilities, there shouldn't be any major issues. It's crucial that your child wears a personal floatation device, and we also highly recommend a protective helmet.
Q. How can I teach my kid to wakeboard?
If you're an experienced wakeboarder, you may be able to teach your child yourself. If you're not, or you just don't feel comfortable teaching, look for a local wakeboard instructor that specializes in working with kids. If you have a local cable park, that's a sensible place to start looking for instructors. Otherwise, ask around

Run-length encoding (RLE) is a very easy compression algorithm that you can use for compressing a list of numbers. The way it works is that you remove all of the consecutive repeated numbers from the list, and modify the first instance of the numbers with how many repeated numbers there were.
For example, say you have a list of numbers 1,2,2,3,3,3,4. You start with the 1, and since there is only one 1, it wouldn't be modified. There are two 2's, however, so you would remove the second two, and add a decimal part (using fPart() of how many 2's there were (in this case, just two, which we represent as.002). You would do this for the rest of the list, and the final list would be 1,2.002,3.003,4.
To save memory (which is of course the reason we're compressing) we will store the result to L₁, the same list the uncompressed data is in. Throughout the loop, J is the index of the last element of the compressed part of the list, and I is the index in the uncompressed part. We don't have to worry about the indices colliding, since I is always bigger than J.
We loop over the list with I, and check if the current element has the same value as the last element of the compressed list. If it is, then it's the beginning of a run, so we add.002 to that last element.
If it isn't there's another possibility — the last element could represent an existing run of the same element. We check for this with the code If L₁(I)=int(L₁(J)). If this turns out to be the case, we add.001 to increase the length of the run. Otherwise, the element really is different, and we increase J and add a new element.
At the end, we store J to the size of L₁. This gets rid of all the unnecessary data, leaving us only with the compressed portion of the list.
Note that we never store anything to L₁ itself, only to its elements. This is a useful technique to avoid using too much memory while the program is running: if we stored to L₁, a copy of the list would be stored to Ans, which could easily give a ERR:MEMORY if the list is too large. As the program is now, the only additional memory used is contained in three real variables (I, J, and Ans).

Art History Professor's Book Honored by Armenian Studies Group
Art history professor Heghnar Zeitlian Watenpaugh recently received the Der Mugrdechian Book Award from the Society for Armenian Studies for The Missing Pages: The Modern Life of a Medieval Manuscript, from Genocide to Justice.
In her book, Watenpaugh reconstructs the journey of illustrated pages of the Zeytun Gospel from their creation in 1256 in present-day Turkey to the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles in 1994. Through an analysis of the biography of the manuscript, she tells the larger story of the Armenians and the suffering they endured during the Armenian Genocide and its aftermath. During her research, she traveled to many of the places the manuscript had been.
"That this award comes from the Society for Armenian Studies is deeply meaningful, as the members of the society know firsthand the challenges and obstacles of researching Armenian topics," Watenpaugh said. "To me, this award celebrates Armenian art history in general, and the wonderful exhibitions and books on Armenian art that have appeared in the last couple of years. I hope this award inspires people to discover and rediscover medieval Armenian art, its astonishing beauty and continued contemporary relevance."
Established in 2015, the Der Mugrdechian SAS Outstanding Book Award accepts nominations for works that advance knowledge and scholarship on Armenian society, culture and history from ancient times to the present. Barlow Der Mugrdechian, director of the Armenian Studies Program at California State University, Fresno, and a past president of SAS, sponsored the award.
The Missing Pages was published by Stanford University Press in early 2019.

Call 3 darts is one of the few games that is different every time you play. Sure the rules are the same but from round to round, game to game, the targets are made up on the fly.
You will need at least two players to get started but as with most games, the more the merrier. So how do you play call three darts?
To play call three darts each player takes turns calling out targets for the active player to hit. If their dart hits they are awarded a point. The player with the most points at the end of ten rounds wins.
It is actually way more fun than it sounds and as with most games, there is a little more to it than just throwing at random targets, so let take a closer look at the full rules.
Call Three Darts Rules
Once the first player reaches the oche, it is up to the person who plays next to call three targets on the board, they can be any number 1-20 or the bullseye.
That player who is up must now try to hit those targets in order with their 3 darts. They get one dart per number, So the first dart must be thrown at the first number called, the 2nd dart will go to the next number and the last dart will go to the 3rd number that was called.
A dart only counts if it hits the correct number that the thrower was aiming for. So if the second dart hits the 3rd number that was called, it does not count.
Each time the correct number is hit, it is worth one point, a double is worth two points and a triple is worth three. The outer ring of the bullseye is worth two points and the middle is worth three.
The player with the highest score at the end of ten rounds wins.
Scoring Call Three Darts
To score call three darts, you can write the player's names across the top of the board, then write the number 1-10 down the left-hand side to signify the 10 rounds.
After a player has thrown the darts you can write their points total for that round under their name. Remember doubles are worth two points and triples are worth three.
At the end of the game, you can add each column up and the player with the highest total wins.
Alternatively, you can make 2 columns for each player. In the first column, you would mark the score for the round and the second column will be a running total (sum of all rounds played so far).
In the event of a tie, additional rounds are added until there is a clear winner.
Call Three Tips & Strategies
Calling numbers all around the board will keep your opponents on their toes. Going from 6 to 13 to 17 is not fun.
If you know the numbers your opponent is weak at, make them go for those.
Call Three Darts Variations
Instead of making one dart per number called you can have it so that the thrower must hit the first number before they can move to the second, and second before they can go for the third.

Retrieve metadata for files specified via path or via file id.
If the files are specified via path, the returned dribble will include a path column. To add path information to any dribble that lacks it, use drive_reveal(), e.g., drive_reveal(d, "path"). If you want to list the contents of a folder, use drive_ls(). For general searching, use drive_find().
If you want to get a file via path and it's not necessarily on your My Drive, you may need to specify the shared_drive or corpus arguments to search other collections of items. Read more about shared drives.
 path = NULL,
 id = NULL,
 shared_drive = NULL,

Character vector of path(s) to get. Use a trailing slash to indicate explicitly that a path is a folder, which can disambiguate if there is a file of the same name (yes this is possible on Drive!). If path appears to contain Drive URLs or is explicitly marked with as_id(), it is treated as if it was provided via the id argument.
Character vector of Drive file ids or URLs (it is first processed with as_id()). If both path and id are non-NULL, id is silently ignored.
Anything that identifies one specific shared drive: its name, its id or URL marked with as_id(), or a dribble. The value provided to shared_drive is pre-processed with as_shared_drive(). Read more about shared drives.
Character, specifying which collections of items to search. Relevant to those who work with shared drives and/or Google Workspace domains. If specified, must be one of "user", "drive" (requires that shared_drive also be specified), "allDrives", or "domain". Read more about shared drives.
[Deprecated] This logical argument to individual googledrive functions is deprecated. To globally suppress googledrive messaging, use options(googledrive_quiet = TRUE) (the default behaviour is to emit informational messages). To suppress messaging in a more limited way, use the helpers local_drive_quiet() or with_drive_quiet().
[Deprecated] Google Drive and the Drive API have replaced Team Drives with shared drives.

The Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago announces a new publication in print and online—complimentary download: The Great Hypostyle Hall in the Temple of Amun at Karnak (OIP 142), by Peter J. Brand, Rosa Erika Feleg, and William J. Murnane. Standing at the heart of Karnak Temple, the Great Hypostyle Hall is a forest of 134 giant sandstone columns enclosed by massive walls. Sety I built the Great Hypostyle Hall ca. 1300 BCE and decorated the northern wing with exquisite bas reliefs. After his death, his successor Ramesses II completed the southern wing mostly in sunk relief. This volume provides full translation, epigraphic analysis, and photographic documentation of the elaborate wall reliefs inside the Hall. This vast trove of ritual art and texts attest to the richness and vitality of Egyptian civilization at the height of its imperial power. The present volume builds upon and serves as a companion to an earlier volume of drawings of the wall scenes made by Harold H. Nelson in the 1950s and edited for publication by William J. Murnane in 1981.


Kitchen learning tower vs step stool
Meet your new best friend; the toddler learning tower.
Hold on a second. Do you mean this weird step stool looking piece of furniture with hand-rails?
Yup, that's the one!
Do I still need that "learning stool" if I already have a good ol' step-stool lying around the house?
Well, that's going to depend on how much time you have on your hands to keep making sure your kid is staying safe up on a stool for extended periods of time.
At our house there isn't too much time to spare at meal time, so we need accessories that keep our kids busy AND safe. The kitchen learning tower does just that, and more!
Learning tower in the kitchen
What is a toddler learning tower?
A kitchen helper tower (or learning tower) is nothing more than a step stool with a guard rail around the top step to keep you little one safe.
Over time, the learning stool has evolved. Many models now come with additional accessories such as a chalkboard, whiteboard, an easel, paper and pencil holders and more.
The design also varies between the different brands. Learning towers also come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some learning stools even fold flat or convert into a table and chair. They are awesome.
Learning tower in the kithcen (1)
What is the purpose of a learning tower?
A learning tower has two main purposes. It raises your toddler up to counter height and it keeps them contained in a safe area so they don't fall over.
When your child reaches a certain age, they will want to (or demand to) see everything you are doing. The reality is that parents spend a ton of time in the kitchen preparing meals and cleaning up after them so kids want to know what we are doing up there, and they also want to participate.
With a learning tower you can have your kids help with the dishes, meals, wash their own hands and even do arts and craft together while standing. There are so many activities that can be done together with a Montessori learning tower.
learning tower vs step stool
Can I use a step stool instead of a kitchen learning tower?
Yes you can use a step stool instead of a kitchen helper tower but you will likely have a hard time doing anything with your toddler on a step stool. At least I did.
The step stool only does one part of the job, it brings your little one to the counter. What it doesn't do is free you to do other things. If you want to have peace of mind and actually get dinner on the table without the screaming (or a falling child), you need a learning tower.
In Conclusion
Using a step stool to keep your child busy will not solve all your problems. A kitchen helper tower will certainly give your child the safety he needs. It also provides you, the parent, the peace of mind you are looking for.
There are countless ways to keep your child happy on a kitchen learning tower while they learn new skills and get to see everything you do to keep the house running. It's a win-win-win!
