Earthquakes the trump card in major international conference win
"Opportunity from disaster" is being realised in Christchurch, with the city chosen to host the 2016 International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) Working Week.
At least 700 delegates from all over the world plus partners and exhibitors are expected in April and May 2016 for the session title "Opportunity from disaster - surveying the challenges", bringing an estimated economic benefit of nearly NZ$3 million to the region.
The New Zealand Institute of Surveyors and premium sponsor Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) bid for the hosting rights with the support of Tourism New Zealand and the Conference Assistance Programme (CAP), the University of Otago's National School of Surveying and Conference Innovators.
Leader of the delegation and Deputy Head of the National School of Surveying at the University of Otago, Brian Coutts, says there was an incredibly strong desire to see the conference held in Christchurch.
"To win is fantastic and everyone is thrilled with the result. Christchurch city will provide such a dynamic environment for delegates to experience and learn in, given the re-planning and re-building of the city post-earthquakes."
LINZ acting chief executive Sue Gordon says the conference will bring together surveying and mapping experts from around the world.
"As the premium sponsor, we're delighted the conference is coming to New Zealand. It will be a fantastic opportunity to share ideas and experiences in the areas of surveying, land registration, topography, valuation, hydrography, land management and geospatial information."
Tourism New Zealand's chief executive Kevin Bowler says this is the fourth international conference won since the organisation began administering the CAP fund in July 2011, on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Development.
"Tourism New Zealand is committed to increasing the economic contribution of international visitors by attracting more high value visitors. International conference delegates are exactly that type of target visitor - on average they spend up to three-times more than the usual international visitor. They bring partners and families, and have the potential to become return visitors.
While Christchurch's planned new convention centre is the proposed venue, two other options were also presented to demonstrate New Zealand's commitment to the event and Christchurch's capability to act as host.
Tourism New Zealand manage and administer the Conference Assistance Programme (CAP) on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Development.
The Conference Assistance Programme provides support for anyone considering hosting an International Conference in New Zealand. CAP can be used to help to determine if you should Bid to host your international conference; provide experienced professional advice; fund the initial financial feasibility study and provide strategic advice on international bidding

Q: Upward Orientation of Surface Consider a surface given by the graph of $z = g(x,y)$.  In my multivariable calc book (Stewart 7E), in section 16.7 they state the following.

Associate with the surface a natural orientation given by the unit normal vector
  $$
\mathbf{n} = \frac{-\frac{\partial g}{\partial x} \mathbf{i} -\frac{\partial g}{\partial y} \mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k}}{\sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{\partial g}{\partial x}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{\partial g}{\partial y}\right)^2}}
$$
  Since the $\mathbf{k}$-component is positive, this gives an upward orientation of the surface.

Consider the part of the sphere $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1$ in the first octant.  The natural orientation points outward from the origin.  For the points on this surface in the $xy$-plane, why would the unit normal have any $\mathbf{k}$-component, let alone a positive one?
Consider instead the part of the sphere $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1$ where $x>0$, $y>0$ and $z<0$.  The natural orientation still points outward from the origin.  Why would the unit normal have a positive $\mathbf{k}$-component?  It seems like the unit normals below the $xy$-plane should have a negative $\mathbf{k}$-component.

Q: Why do I get a Postman socket hangup if I am connected to the database? I have an Express/TypeScript API and I am attempting to create a new patient in Postman, I am passing in all the required properties according to my EmrPatient model file here:
import mongoose from 'mongoose'

// # 1. What it takes to create a Patient
// An interface that describes the properties
// that are required to create a new patient
interface EmrPatientAttrs {
  emrId: string
  clinicId?: string | number
  patientId: string | number
  doctorId: string | number
  firstName: string
  lastName: string
  gender: string
  dob: string
  address?: string
  city?: string
  state?: string
  zipCode?: number
  alunaPatientId?: string | number
  alunaDoctorId?: string | number
}

// # 2. What the entire Patient collections looks like
// An interface that describes the properties that
// an EmrPatient Model has
// This essentially tells TypeScript that there is going to be a
// build function available on this EmrPatientModel
// So TypeScript, there is a build function
// and these are the required arguments to call it.
// Now TypeScript understands what an EmrPatientModel is
interface EmrPatientModel extends mongoose.Model<EmrPatientDoc> {
  build(attrs: EmrPatientAttrs): EmrPatientDoc;
}

// # 3. What properties a single user has
// An interface that describes the properties that
// an EmrPatient Document has
interface EmrPatientDoc extends mongoose.Document {
  emrId: string
  clinicId?: string | number
  patientId: string | number
  doctorId: string | number
  firstName: string
  lastName: string
  gender: string
  dob: string
  address?: string
  city?: string
  state?: string
  zipCode?: number
  alunaPatientId?: string | number
  alunaDoctorId?: string | number
}

const emrPatientSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
  {
    emrId: { type: String, required: true },
    clinicId: { type: String, required: false },
    patientId: { type: String, required: true },
    doctorId: { type: String, required: true },
    firstName: { type: String, required: true },
    lastName: { type: String, required: true },
    gender: { type: String, required: true },
    dob: { type: Date, required: true },
    address: { type: String, required: false },
    city: { type: String, required: false },
    state: { type: String, required: false },
    zipCode: { type: Number, required: false },
    alunaPatientId: { type: String, required: false },
    alunaDoctorId: { type: String, required: false },
  },
  {
    timestamps: true,
  }
)
emrPatientSchema.statics.build = (attrs: EmrPatientAttrs) => {
  return new EmrPatient(attrs);
};

const EmrPatient = mongoose.model<EmrPatientDoc, EmrPatientModel>('EmrPatient', emrPatientSchema);

// problem now is we have to import more things from this file,
// not convenient
// How do we make building/creating a Patient/Doctor similar to before?
// to avoid the high mental burden of having to remember to import
// buildPatient/buildDoctor

export { EmrPatient }

This is my route:
import express, { Request, Response } from 'express'
import { EmrDoctor } from '../models/EmrDoctor';
import { EmrPatient } from '../models/EmrPatient';
import { DatabaseConnectionError } from "../middlewares/database-connection-error";

const partnerRouter = express.Router()

partnerRouter.post('/api/v3/partner/patients', async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  console.log("Creating a patient...");
  throw new DatabaseConnectionError();
});

I think my code is sound, so I am unclear where the problem is.
The expected result here is a 201 Created.
This is the Postman json data:
[
    {
        "emrId": "123",
        "patientId": "abc",
        "doctorId": "196",
        "firstName": "Harry",
        "lastName": "Smith",
        "gender": "maile",
        "dob": "March 31, 1990"
    }
]

I was able to add some better programmatic error handling and it seems the issue is that it's not connecting to the database, yet when I first start the app, it says connected to the database:
import express from "express";
import { json } from "body-parser";
import mongoose from "mongoose";
import { partnerRouter } from "./routes/partner-routes";
import { errorHandler } from "./middlewares/error-handler";

const app = express();
app.use(json());

app.use(partnerRouter);

app.use(errorHandler);

const start = async () => {
  try {
    await mongoose.connect("mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/auth", {
      useNewUrlParser: true,
      useUnifiedTopology: true,
      useCreateIndex: true,
    });
    console.log("Connected to MongoDB");
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
  app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log("Listening on port 3000!");
  });
};

start();

A: On your mongoose.connect remove the arguments. Those are deprecated.
It should be
try {
    await mongoose.connect("mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/auth");
    console.log('Connected to database');
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }

also from your code you aren't responding with anything in your create patient post method. you should res.json({}) or res.send() rather than throw an error.


Webb Memorial is considered the most popular BREC course. Large oak trees line the fairways of its 18-hole layout, and it's ideally situated off of College Drive. Webb Memorial was originally built as a private club in the 1920's in one of Baton Rouge's most affluent neighborhoods. It opened in 1924 and became a municipal course in 1941.
The course underwent a significant makeover in 2006 (marking its first major renovation in more than 80 years). Improvements to irrigation keep fairways and greens lush and playable all year.
