PhyloProfile is a tool for exploring complex phylogenetic profiles. Phylogenetic profiles, presence/absence patterns of genes over a set of species, are commonly used to trace the functional and evolutionary history of genes across species and time. With PhyloProfile we can enrich regular phylogenetic profiles with further data like sequence/structure similarity, to make phylogenetic profiling more meaningful. Besides the interactive visualisation powered by R-Shiny, the package offers a set of further analysis features to gain insights like the gene age estimation or core gene identification.

PREPARE - Amazon Redshift
PREPARE
Prepare a statement for execution.
PREPARE creates a prepared statement. When the PREPARE statement is run, the specified statement (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE) is parsed, rewritten, and planned. When an EXECUTE command is then issued for the prepared statement, Amazon Redshift may optionally revise the query execution plan (to improve performance based on the specified parameter values) before running the prepared statement.
Syntax
PREPARE plan_name [ (datatype [, ...] ) ] AS statement
Parameters
plan_name
An arbitrary name given to this particular prepared statement. It must be unique within a single session and is subsequently used to run or deallocate a previously prepared statement.
datatype
The data type of a parameter to the prepared statement. To refer to the parameters in the prepared statement itself, use $1, $2, and so on.
statement
Any SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement.
Usage notes
Prepared statements can take parameters: values that are substituted into the statement when it is run. To include parameters in a prepared statement, supply a list of data types in the PREPARE statement, and, in the statement to be prepared itself, refer to the parameters by position using the notation $1, $2, ... When running the statement, specify the actual values for these parameters in the EXECUTE statement. For more details, see EXECUTE.
Prepared statements only last for the duration of the current session. When the session ends, the prepared statement is discarded, so it must be re-created before being used again. This also means that a single prepared statement can't be used by multiple simultaneous database clients; however, each client can create its own prepared statement to use. The prepared statement can be manually removed using the DEALLOCATE command.
Prepared statements have the largest performance advantage when a single session is being used to run a large number of similar statements. As mentioned, for each new execution of a prepared statement, Amazon Redshift may revise the query execution plan to improve performance based on the specified parameter values. To examine the query execution plan that Amazon Redshift has chosen for any specific EXECUTE statements, use the EXPLAIN command.
For more information on query planning and the statistics collected by Amazon Redshift for query optimization, see the ANALYZE command.
Examples
Create a temporary table, prepare INSERT statement and then run it:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS prep1; CREATE TABLE prep1 (c1 int, c2 char(20)); PREPARE prep_insert_plan (int, char) AS insert into prep1 values ($1, $2); EXECUTE prep_insert_plan (1, 'one'); EXECUTE prep_insert_plan (2, 'two'); EXECUTE prep_insert_plan (3, 'three'); DEALLOCATE prep_insert_plan;
Prepare a SELECT statement and then run it:
PREPARE prep_select_plan (int) AS select * from prep1 where c1 = $1; EXECUTE prep_select_plan (2); EXECUTE prep_select_plan (3); DEALLOCATE prep_select_plan;

The Hermite polynomials are defined as $$H_n(x)=(-1)^n e^{x^2}\dfrac{d^n}{dx^n}e^{-x^2}.$$
How does one prove that all the roots of the Hermite polynomial are real?

By induction, $H_n$ is a polynomial of degree $n$. Its roots are the zeros of $u_n(x) = \frac{d^n}{dx^n} e^{-x^2}$. But by Rolle's theorem, between any two zeros of a differentiable function there is a zero of its derivative. The same is true between a zero and $+\infty$ or $-\infty$ for a function that goes to $0$ at $\pm \infty$.

Horatio McLean Jones was an associate justice for Nevada Territory. Born in Howellsville, Pennsylvania, in 1826, Jones graduated from Oberlin College in 1849 and Harvard Law School in 1853. He practiced law in St. Louis in 1854, and the Missouri Supreme Court appointed him Court Reporter in 1856.
In 1861, President Lincoln appointed Jones Associate Justice for Nevada Territory. After receiving his commission, Jones met fellow justice George Turner, and they traveled to Carson City together. Jones was assigned to the Third District, which included Lyon, Churchill, Humboldt, and Lander Counties.
In 1862, after an unpopular jury decision in the single ledge case which determined the ownership of the Comstock Lode, the territorial legislature tried to switch Jones and Judge Gordon Mott between the First Judicial District and the Third District. When the bill came back from the Judiciary Committee, the council erupted in heated discussion. Neither Mott nor Jones wanted to exchange districts, though Mott apparently wasn't greatly bothered by the decision since he had been recently elected representative to Congress and would be leaving soon. But Jones was incensed. Jones maintained the bill was invalid because it was signed after the legislature's adjournment. He accused Thomas Hannah of improperly handling the bill in the Senate, and Hannah challenged Jones to a duel. Jones refused, then said he would not practice the kind of law the attorneys of the first district practiced. Jones walked out of his court and would not hear any more cases during the May term of 1863.
On July 30, Judge Jones unexpectedly resigned, tired of the plots and intrigues of the Storey County Bar. He left the bench and went to Austin to practice law. President Lincoln appointed John North as his temporary replacement on August 31.
When the Constitution of the State of Nevada was up for a vote in 1864, Jones gave many speeches supporting it. He practiced law in Austin until 1868. Jones lived for a while in California, and then returned to St. Louis, where he served as a district court judge from 1871 to 1877. Later he went to Vermontville Village, Michigan, where he died on June 10, 1906.

We present a theoretical study focusing on exploring the possibility of controlling anthropogenic and natural seismicity. More specifically, we address the general question of earthquake control: Is it possible to control and avoid anthropogenic and natural earthquakes and how?
We address this question using the spring-slider model in a mathematically rigorous framework and we investigate the conditions under which a seismogenic fault system can be stabilized by fluid injection (Stefanou, 2019). The concept that pore pressure increase due to fluid injection can stimulate fault slip is well established nowadays. Recent works also show the potential of generating aseismic slip in some cases (Cornet, 2016). However, the question of earthquake control is still open and challenging.
We use a general Coulomb-type rheology that depends both on slip and slip-rate for describing the frictional behavior of a fault system. Our analysis leads to a non-autonomous system, whose steady-state and stability are retrieved using a double-scale asymptotic analysis in time. Additionally to rock elasticity, which is responsible for the progressive elastic energy build-up that is released abruptly during earthquake events, we consider also radiational damping. This is performed by accounting for the rock viscosity through a damper in Kelvin-Voigt configuration.
We show mathematically that the system is stabilizable by controlling fluid pressure and we present scenarios of earthquake control.

Taste evaluation is not solely based on the objectivity of food, such as the biological and innate preferences for special flavors etc. Individual and cultural differences in food preferences illuminate the role of subjectivity in taste evaluation.
According to the self-congruity theory, consumers pick products that are congruent with their self-concepts, i.e. a collection of beliefs about themselves. They do so because they strive for consistency in beliefs and behaviors (read more about self-verification).
Products and self-concepts may influence each other reciprocally. This means that products have the potential to change self-concepts through a process of self-reflexivity. Self-reflexivity is influenced by cultural values, i.e. the values that the product symbolizes.
Taste evaluation will depend on how much you can identify yourself with the value that the products symbolizes. If your values are congruent with the values of the product, then the taste evaluation is likely to be positive, and as a result, one is more likely to purchase the product.
A study by Allen and colleagues (2008) examined the role of self-concepts in the taste evaluation of food and beverage. Here are two examples of how self-concepts influence taste evaluation:
"Participants preferred the taste of Perrier over Old Fashioned Seltzer when the two options were labeled; when the products were offered without labels, participants did not show a preference" (p. 294).
"Participants who supported the values symbolized by Pepsi (exciting life, enjoying life, social power, and social recognition) had a more favorable taste evaluation, attitude, and purchase intention when told they had tasted Pepsi than when they thought they had tasted the low price Woolworth cola." (p. 302).

Caste cloud over tsunami relief
Text size: A A A
September 15, 2005 21:13 IST
Mary Kalyani has a simple question for the authorities: "Why are we treated like dogs and not like human beings?"
Kalyani, who lives in Chennai, is one of the thousands who lost everything to the tsunami that unleashed death and destruction across South Asia on December 26, 2004. She is also a Dalit -- the lowest strata of the caste hierarchy -- and not from the fishing community.
A United Nations study conducted in conjunction with the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank estimates that 20 percent of the tsunami-affected people are not fishermen, but engaged in agriculture and small and micro enterprises.
Most of them are Dalits.
Tsunami: Waves of destruction
Generally, fishermen live close to the sea. Dalits live next to them and work for the fishermen when they go out to the sea. The unwritten law is that only the fishing community can fish in the sea. Other communities can only help them. So, Dalits assist fishermen in making nets and selling their catch. Many Dalit women carry fish to the towns to sell. Dalits also cultivate on 'borrowed' land.
"Dalits lost their houses, their cultivation, everything (to the tsunami). Because they are not into fishing, these losses were not taken into consideration at all by the government," said V Karuppan, a former civil servant who is the convener of the National Campaign for Dalit Human Rights. "That was the first discrimination the Dalits faced."
In urban areas, mainly in places like Chennai, the fishing community live in government-allotted houses. They rent out the area in front of their houses to Dalit labourers. So, in these areas, it is not the fishermen but the Dalits who live close to the sea, but on illegal, unauthorised land.
Tsunami: picking up the threads
"I have been living in this area for the last 16 years. We lost everything to the tsunami," says Ramani, a Dalit who lives in Uroorkuppam in Chennai. "The fishermen drove us away from temporary shelters. They did not even allow us to have the food the government and the NGOs (non-government organisations) distributed. The government says only the fishermen lost everything. What about us, people who have voter's id card, ration card and electricity card? Do we exist only when they (politicians) need our votes?"
Sudhamma, who lives in Thiruvanmiyoorkuppam in Chennai, echoed Ramani. "When an NGO gave us food, the fishermen started abusing us; they even snatched the food that we had accepted," she complained. "We spent days and nights on the footpath -- we were not allowed inside the temporary shelter."
When Vallimayil, who works as a maid, asked some government officers for help, they allegedly asked her: 'Are you willing to do anything?'
Limping back: tsunami marriages
"This is the kind of humiliation we have to face," she said.
Karuppan said there were instances when the police refused to record the information about missing Dalits, while they did register FIRs  first information reports  about missing fishermen.
The NCDHR, the Human Rights Forum for Dalit Liberation and the Dalit Mannurimai Kootamaippu held a national public hearing in Chennai on discrimination against Dalits in tsunami relief and rehabilitation. The organisers informed the gathering that though the Tamil Nadu government had issued nearly 175 Government Orders after the tsunami, none took into account relief and rehabilitation for Dalits.
GO 583 speaks of livelihood and refers only to fishermen while GO 8 refers only to'marine' fishermen. What about the backwater fishermen, some of whom are Dalits, the organisers asked.
"Because the GOs refer only to fishermen, relief did not reach the Dalits," said Karuppan.
Despair, anguish and hope
It was also alleged that when the government was assessing tsunami damage in the first half of January, livestock owned by Dalits was not taken into account.
"Only when they (Dalits) blocked roads and put intense pressure was a re-enumeration started," said one of the organisers. "The outcome: The government wrote that the Dalits had no evidence of possession."
The question that was raised at the public hearing was: If there are fishermen next to the sea, and they have a total of 15 GOs that identify them as affected and there are two GOs for the sake of farmers who live further inland, why is it that the band of labourers who live physically between these two communities have no GOs that speak about their plight?
The organisers blamed the fishing community too for discriminating against the Dalits. About 210 Dalits had to walk 21 km to Mayiladuthurai when fishermen drove them out of a temporary tsunami shelter in Seerkazhi district, it was alleged. "The government officials turned a blind eye to it. The same thing happened in Tharangambadi district. Here, the Dalits were not given food for three days," said one of the organisers.
The heroes by the sea
The Dalit forum has asked for a white paper from the government about how much money was spent on fishermen and how much on Dalits. "Similarly, Dalits did not get the 60 kg rice and Rs 1000 a month promised by the government though the fishermen got both," said an activist.
The tsunami waves brought in seawater as much as 3 km inland. As 22,000 hectares of agricultural land was inundated, the winter crop that was ready for harvest in January was completely destroyed. The soil turned brackish, rendering it unfit for agriculture. The NCHDR estimates the loss to agriculture and livestock in India at over $37 million.
But Rajeswari of Odaikuppam, like Kalyani, has a smaller problem. "All that we had saved is gone with the waves. But according to the government, we don't exist."

Diamonds that belong to a group called type IIb tend to appear blue. However, after absorbing high-energy light, type IIb diamonds glow in the dark for a while. This brightness varies in color from blue to pink and deep red, depending on the diamond. Fluorescence in diamonds is the brightness that can be seen when the diamond is under ultraviolet (UV) light (that is, you will see 30% of diamonds shine under ultraviolet light).
When exposed to ultraviolet light, there will be a diamond that will shine in different colors. The GIA rates diamond fluorescence as None, Weak, Medium, Strong and Very Strong. Diamonds that belong to a group called type IIB tend to appear blue. However, after absorbing high-energy light, such as UV light, type IIB diamonds glow in the dark for a short period of time.
This residual glow refers to the phosphorescence of a diamond that varies in color from blue to pink and fiery red, depending on the diamond. Fluorescence is the phenomenon of a material that glows when exposed to certain wavelengths of ultraviolet light. This is very common in natural diamonds. When diamond contains specific chemical impurities, it is likely to shine when subjected to ultraviolet light.
When comparing diamonds to each other, you will definitely see a difference between a diamond with a strong fluorescence and one with little or no. Fluorescence in diamonds is the brightness that can be seen when the diamond is under ultraviolet (UV) light (i. So, if you're wondering why some diamonds shine under UV light, think about how UV light makes your whites look whiter and your blacklight posters shine. It is also important to note that this extreme level of haze for a fluorescent diamond is also not typical and is not as common as you might think when talking about diamonds that are H or below.
If, of course, you buy a diamond in person and not online, then the best thing for you is to specifically order a diamond with a strong blue fluorescence. Since neither artificial diamonds nor the gray faux colored diamond shone at the reddish wavelength, this characteristic of natural diamonds can also help solve one of the biggest problems in the diamond market: identifying fake gems with an authentic look. The problem with some buyers is that they judge whether a diamond is fake or real based on how it shines in different light conditions. But after observing the afterglow of the world's largest deep blue diamond, experts discovered a unique method to select synthetic diamonds from natural gems and help identify stolen diamonds.
To learn more about these brilliant phosphorescent gems, chemical engineers at the Gemological Institute of America studied the Aurora Heart Collection, which contains 239 colored diamonds and a series of type IIB blue stones, in addition to the Smithsonian's Esperanza diamond and its blue heart diamond. Because each and every diamond is different, scientists realized that they could use the color of the glow and how quickly the shine fades as a type of fingerprint to identify individual gems. Brightness is thought to be an interaction between ultraviolet light, boron found in blue diamonds, and nitrogen in stones. After being exposed to this light, each of the Type IIB natural diamonds shone for several seconds.
In general terms, diamond fluorescence is blue, but from time to time, a diamond is seen to fluoresce another color, such as yellow.

some ground that is close to ambient temperature.
 1. Dust or frost on the optics
Pyranometers need to be cleaned periodically otherwise dust can build up on the optics and this reduces the light reaching the sensor. When a pyranometer is mounted in a ventilator, buildup of dust, ice, or snow is greatly reduced. This helps maintain the quality of the measurements because dust or other contaminates reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor. Proper cleaning and maintenance of the instruments is important for a quality dataset.
 1. Change in responsivity over time
Thermopile-based pyranometer have a responsivity that degrades with time. The absorptivity of the black coating on the sensor disk degrades with exposure to UV radiation. The degradation of the responsivity can vary between 0.5% and 1.0% per year (see Figs. 5.a and 5.b). Therefore, it is important to calibrate the instruments every year or two. Since the calibration result typically has an uncertainty larger than the degradation rate, it is useful to record the change in responsivity and determine the trend to get a better idea of the calibration value. If the instrument is mounted in a ventilator, then the calibration should also be done in a ventilator because the ventilator affects the thermal offset, and this affects the calibration result.
 1. Spectral response:
Thermopile pyranometers respond to a wide range of wavelengths and usually have a glass dome that allows wavelengths up to 2500 nm to pass through without hindrance. Some pyranometers have special domes that have transmissivity that is approximately constant up to 4000 nm.
 1. Non-linearity
A perfect pyranometer would have a uniform responsivity over all intensities of light. For the better pyranometers, this responsivity doesn't vary more than 0.2% to 0.5% from the responsivity at 500 W/m2 over a range from 100 W/m2 to 1000 W/m2.
 1. Temperature dependence
Thermopile-based pyranometers measure the temperature difference between the body of the pyranometer and the central disk glued to the thermopile. The body of the pyranometer has a large thermal mass (heat sink) that is minimally affected by the ambient temperature. The current from the thermopile is a measure of the heat flow from the sensor to the heat sink. However, there are other paths through which heat can flow such as by radiation and convection and these alternate paths reduce measured irradiance and the characteristics of the thermopile result in a temperature dependence of the measured irradiance. Factory specification for the pyranometers usually come with a plot of responsivity verses temperature and it is possible to adjust the measured value based on the ambient temperature measurement, but this is rarely done. However, by recording the ambient temperature along with the GHI or DfHI measurements, it is always possible at some future date to adjust the measured values for the effect of temperature. The temperature adjustment is also affected if the pyranometer is mounted in a ventilator that keeps air flowing over the dome to keep dust and/or frost from settling on the pyranometer dome. Sometimes ventilators warm the air and this affects the thermal offset and the temperature dependence of the instrument. For example, pyranometers mounted in ventilators can have smaller thermal offsets, especially if the ventilator uses a high speed DC fan (Dutton et al., 2001).

Dehumidifier Metering Study
The verdict is in: Homeowners across the country do use dehumidifiers, and a good amount of collective energy, to keep their homes dry.
Take the test and earn 0.5 CE unit per article.
Residential stand-alone dehumidifiers can draw a significant amount of power when in operation (power draws of 300–700 watts are common). However, little is known about the total seasonal energy use of dehumidifiers. Many factors can affect this total. Dehumidifier capacity, characteristics of the ambient space, and the homeowner's selection of set points are just some of the variables that determine how much energy a dehumidifier will ultimately consume. Wisconsin's Focus on Energy recently commissioned a metering study to figure out just how much energy typical Wisconsin households use to dehumidify their homes.
To learn more about Focus on Energy, go to _URL_.
The Energy Center of Wisconsin monitored dehumidifier use in 40 Wisconsin homes on behalf of Focus on Energy during a four-month period in the summer and fall of 2009 (see "Focus on Energy"). The sample of homes we monitored varied in age; it consisted of 20 newer (built since 2000) Wisconsin Energy Star Homes (WESH) and 20 randomly selected homes. The randomly selected homes were located in one of three Wisconsin metropolitan areas (Milwaukee, Madison, and Eau Claire). The 20 WESH homes were located in Wisconsin's Fox River Valley, in the east-central region of the state.
To add information about occupant use to our metered data, we randomly selected 43 WESH homes and surveyed their owners concerning their use of stand-alone dehumidifiers. We compared these survey results against 1,329 responses concerning dehumidifier use that were taken from our most recent Midwest Energy Survey (MES). (See "About the Midwest Energy Survey.")
About the Midwest Energy Survey
The Midwest Energy Survey is a tracking study initiated by the Energy Center of Wisconsin in 2007 to measure public attitudes, awareness, and practices on energy efficiency and climate change. The study is entitled Climate Change and Energy: Tracking Public Opinions and Responses, and it is available from the Energy Center of Wisconsin.
In this independent research conducted in nine midwestern states in 2007, and expanded to the United States as a whole in 2008, the Energy Center links public concern about energy efficiency and climate change with opportunities for improving the design of utility and other energy efficiency programs and with increasing energy savings. Analysis of the results reveals
- gaps between efficiency opportunities, perceptions, and practices, highlighting the need for better energy education;
- a snapshot of policy approaches to addressing carbon pollution that are most likely to win public support;
- a trend showing how public concerns about climate, the environment, and energy efficiency fare over time relative to other public concerns; and
- how much reliance customers place on their utility company for help with saving energy.
For more information on the Midwest Energy Survey, including a free webcast on results of the most recent survey, visit _URL_ This webcast was produced by the Energy Center of Wisconsin and presented by Ingo Bensch, a senior project manager at the Energy Center of Wisconsin.
We metered several conditions in the 40 monitored homes. We used "Watts-up" watt-hour meters to collect watt-hours and wattage (minimum, maximum, and average values) in fiveto ten-minute increments over four months. We used Onset Computer's Hobo U10 data loggers to monitor relative humidity (RH) and ambient temperature in the main floor and in the basement of each home. The basement RH measurement loggers were placed near the ceiling in the same room as, but not immediately adjacent to, the dehumidifiers. We used local hourly weather station data to estimate local outdoor temperature and RH.
For our study, we divided the monitoring period into two separate seasons. The summer season included data collected during July and August. The fall season included data collected during September and October. We found that on average, the dehumidifiers we metered used more energy during the summer (6.5 kWh per day) than they used during the fall (4.8 kWh per day). The range in average dehumidifier energy use across all homes was significant; it ranged from a low value of 0 kWh per day to a high value of 17 kWh per day. During the summer, we found that the 20 newer WESH homes used an average of 1.6 kWh per day more than the non-WESH homes. We speculate that this difference in energy use is at least partially related to differences in the size of the houses; the median WESH home in our sample was 25% larger above grade and 93% larger below grade than the median non-WESH home.
We applied linear regression techniques to daily data from each site to estimate the effect that indoor basement humidity and outdoor humidity had on dehumidifier energy use. We found that high indoor basement humidity was linked to low dehumidifier energy use and that high outdoor humidity was linked to high dehumidifier energy use. We found these relationships to be effective predictors of dehumidifier energy use in general. However, the predictive ability of this model was highly variable across sites and proved to be a good fit only for dehumidifiers that were able to maintain reasonable control over basement humidity levels. For those cases where dehumidifiers did not effectively control humidity, we switched our model around and used dehumidifier energy use as a predictor of basement humidity ratios.
Clearly a relationship exists between the amount of energy used for dehumidification and basement humidity levels. Homes that maintained lower daily humidity levels in the basement used more energy for dehumidification than homes that maintained higher daily humidity levels in the basement. During summer months, nearly half of the basements we monitored maintained a daily average RH of less than 50%. These homes used an average of 4.2 kWh per day more than the homes where the basement maintained a daily average RH exceeding 50%.
Figure 1 illustrates the general relationship between basement RH levels and average daily dehumidification energy use. Data for the 40 sites are arranged from left to right in order of increasing average energy use per day. The bars in the top panel (representing the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily average basement RH levels) show the variability in humidity control across all 40 sites. We found that basement humidity levels were relatively well controlled at some of the sites we metered (RH levels fluctuated only 1–2%), while at other sites we metered, basement humidity levels were controlled very little, if at all (RH levels fluctuated 10–20 %).
Dehumidifier Duty Cycles
Dehumidifier duty cycles varied greatly across sites. We divided duty cycles into three modes of operation: Off, Fan-Only, and Run. Off mode consists of periods when neither the compressor nor the circulation fan is operating. Fan-Only consists of periods when the circulation fan is operating, but the compressor is not. Run mode consists of periods when both the compressor and fan are operating. Dehumidifiers in our sample drew 40–120 watts, for an average of 75 watts, when in Fan-Only mode. They drew 300–700 watts, for an average of 500 watts when in Run mode. Figure 2 shows the average summer and fall duty cycles for the 40 dehumidifiers in our sample. Note that although the average dehumidifier ran 56% of the time during summer months, we found that individual duty cycles varied greatly. Some of the units we metered were in Run mode as little as 15% of the time, while other units ran virtually nonstop.
Survey Responses on Dehumidifier Use
The most recent MES survey showed that almost 65% of Wisconsin homes have a stand-alone dehumidifier. A comparison of our survey results and the MES survey indicated that more dehumidifiers were installed in WESH homes (75%) than in non-WESH homes of a similar age (46%). The frequency and duration of reported dehumidifier use was consistent across surveys; about 60% of respondents reported using their dehumidifiers during the entire summer or more.
In the latest MES, we found that nearly half of the dehumidifiers used in newer homes in Wisconsin were connected directly to a drain (rather than draining into a manually emptied drain pan). Dehumidifiers using drain pans are susceptible to periods of inoperation when occupants fail to empty the pans regularly. We found that the percentage of dehumidifiers connected directly to a drain was significantly higher in WESH homes (80%) than in non-WESH homes (45%). Homes in our metered sample where the dehumidifier was connected directly to a drain used slightly more energy than those where the dehumidifier was drained manually; however, the difference was not statistically significant.
A principal goal of our field study was to estimate average annualized energy use for dehumidifiers in Wisconsin. We used survey responses and the metered usage data from the 20 randomly selected homes to estimate that, on average, dehumidifiers in Wisconsin consume 477 kWh per year. This estimate is subject to the variation in use that we observed across the sites in our field study. The values used to arrive at this estimate are shown in Table 1. In generating this estimate, we assume that the average Wisconsin household uses its dehumidifier during a 90-day summer and a 60-day nonsummer period, in a manner that is

[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] missing av_free_packet on error?

Hello,

================================

Whereas av_find_stream_info() assumes that if there is an error, there

My question is: where is the error, where should it be fixed?
In the demuxer, in av_find_stream_info, av_read_... or maybe this check
should be moved to av_get_packet, to make it always fail when not all
requested data could be read?
IMO in the demuxer, in which case I suggest this change:

Time is an element —
Boeing satellite tv for computer has irreversible damage to batteries, rising explosion chance.
DirecTV is scrambling to circulation a damaged Boeing satellite tv for computer out of its common orbit in expose to restrict the chance of "an unintended explosion."
As Residence Files reported as of late, DirecTV asked the Federal Communications Commission for a principles waiver so it will "conduct emergency operations to de-orbit the Spaceway-1 satellite tv for computer," which is at chance of explosion thanks to damage to batteries. The 15-year-out of date Boeing 702HP satellite tv for computer is in a geostationary orbit.
DirecTV, which is owned by AT&T, is coordinating with Intelsat on a idea to circulation Spaceway-1 into a new orbit. DirecTV already disabled the satellite tv for computer's predominant feature, which is to design backup Ka-band skill in Alaska. The satellite tv for computer can operate on vitality reserves from its photo voltaic panels, nonetheless that might well presumably also fair now no longer be conceivable for the length of the upcoming eclipse season, DirecTV explained in its FCC filing:
In December, Spaceway-1 suffered a predominant anomaly that resulted in foremost and irreversible thermal damage to its batteries. Boeing, the spacecraft manufacturer, concluded in step with all on hand files that the batteries' cells can now no longer be guaranteed to face up to the pressures wished to make stronger safe operation of the spacecraft in eclipse operations; rather, there is a foremost chance that these battery cells might well presumably burst. As payload operations were terminated, the spacecraft has had enough vitality margin to avoid employ of the batteries for the length of daylight hours operations. Nonetheless, employ of the batteries for the length of eclipse is unavoidable and there is no capability to isolate damaged battery cells. The chance of a catastrophic battery failure makes it urgent that Spaceway-1 be fully de-orbited and decommissioned sooner than the February 25th initiate of eclipse season.
No longer enough time to dissipate gasoline
Under the common direction of for taking satellites out of their common orbits, "Spaceway-1 would total its discontinue-of-life maneuvers after which discharge all final bipropellant sooner than decommissioning the spacecraft," DirecTV wrote.
But thanks to the explosion chance, there is never all the time enough time to fully dissipate the bipropellant. That's why DirecTV asked for a waiver from the principles.
"Waiver is appropriate on this case because grant would now no longer undermine the reason for the rule, which is to minimize the chance of unintended explosion," DirecTV wrote. The waiver "will minimize the aptitude for ruin to diversified geostationary satellite tv for computer operators," DirecTV acknowledged.
DirecTV acknowledged it intends to discharge as great gasoline as conceivable sooner than winding up the circulation nonetheless that "the precedence stays the full decommissioning of the satellite tv for computer sooner than commencement of the spring eclipse season to restrict the chance of an unintended explosion." In the time on hand, DirecTV acknowledged "it might possibly per chance presumably be in an enviornment to dissipate only a nominal half of the roughly 73kg of bipropellant final onboard Spaceway-1." Totally depleting the bipropellant would expend two or three months.
"Delayed de-orbit maneuvers or prolonged propellant depletion techniques are now no longer conceivable given the heightened chance of catastrophic failure of the Spaceway-1 satellite tv for computer ought to clean the damaged battery be recharged," the filing acknowledged.
DirecTV and Intelsat "are exploring feasible conceivable choices" for satellite tv for computer-monitoring ground stations "that might well aid ground visibility because the satellite tv for computer transits from its contemporary orbital living."
"In the absence of additional ground space alternatives, Spaceway-1 will first must fetch bigger its eastward lope along with the circulation sooner than turning around and winding up a advance-trusty burn till it reaches its disposal orbit," DirecTV acknowledged.
Original orbit 300km above diversified satellites
DirecTV described its idea as "de-orbiting" and fascinating the satellite tv for computer into a "disposal orbit," which might well suggest bringing it nearer to Earth and letting it employ up within the ambiance. But the filing also says the brand new orbit will be "300km above the geostationary arc," which might well fetch it a graveyard orbit. Assuming that is the case, Spaceway-1 would live indefinitely in an orbit that is nicely above diversified geostationary satellites. We have asked AT&T for clarification on this point.
DirecTV asked for a 30-day waiver "starting no later than January 20, 2020," so it might possibly per chance presumably also fair salvage already obtained permission and begun the operation, which is expected to expend 21 days. We contacted DirecTV owner AT&T and the FCC relating to the internet web page online of the waiver quiz this morning and ought to clean update this text if we fetch any response.
DirecTV acknowledged that no customers had been plagued by the satellite tv for computer space, because it became fair offering backup skill. DirecTV acknowledged it "is currently exploring plans to relocate on-orbit resources to substitute the backup skill lost by the decommissioning of Spaceway-1."

Travels Among A Worldwide ClanBook - 2007
Millions of Scots have left their homeland during the last 400 years, and until now, they have mostly been written about in general terms. Gathering the tales of particular emigrants, drawn from the once-powerful Clan MacLeod, and discovering what happened to them and their families, this history breaks new ground. These are stories of, among other things, French aristocrats, Polish resistance fighters, Texan ranchers, New Zealand shepherds, Australian goldminers, Aboriginal and African-American activists, Canadian mounted policemen, and Confederate rebels. One 19-century MacLeod even went so far as to swap his Gaelic for Arabic and his Christianity for Islam before settling down comfortably in Cairo. Based on unpublished documents, letters, family histories, and the author's travels in the company of today's MacLeods, this is a tale of disastrous voyages, famine, dispossession, and the hazards of pioneering on faraway frontiers. But it is also the moving story of how people separated from Scotland by hundreds of years and thousands of miles continue to identify with the small country where their journeys began.

Ultimate Guide on How to Weld Cast Iron
Welding cast iron has the reputation of being a difficult task to perform. Although it is possible, how do you weld cast iron. It is a problematic material to weld due to the high carbon content that makes it brittle and highly prone to cracking.
It is doable and there are ways to make it work. Let's look into the details, including the best welding process and the best way to weld cast iron.
Is it Hard to Weld Cast Iron?
Welding Cast Iron
In short, this is not a straight ahead job for anyone really, but even more difficult for the beginner welders. Cast iron is an alloy of iron, 2-4% carbon, and varying amounts of other metals such as silicon, manganese, and traces of sulfur and phosphorus.
The metal is generally brittle, but the type of cast iron will determine whether it's weldable or not. After reading this article you will be at least better informed of how to go about this tricky, but not impossible, process.
Types of Cast Iron
Below is a brief description of the most common forms of cast iron, including their properties that determine the welding process.
Gray Iron
This is the most common form of cast iron used throughout the world. It is called "Gray Iron" because of it's graphite flaky structure. While it is more ductile than White Cast Iron it is still not easy to weld and requires some special techniques to be successful. The major challenge for welders is the possibility of causing a weld metal embrittlement (process of making it brittle) when the graphite flakes enter the weld pool during the welding process.
White Cast Iron
White cast iron is almost unweldable thanks to carbon making up most of its form. It retains the cementite crystalline structure making white cast iron super hard and brittle. It has very high resistance to abrasion and very good compressive strength but this also makes it difficult to machine and cut.
Malleable Cast Iron
Malleable Cast Iron is a product of white iron after some serious heat treatment and left to cool slowly thus changing the composition of the metal. It is similar to ductile cast iron in that it is more pliable and user friendly when it comes to welding.
Ductile Cast Iron
Ductile cast iron, also known as ductile iron, was created in 1943. The definition of "Ductile" is pliable and not brittle. In short ductile cast iron is comprised of a higher percentage of carbon making it more flexible than the standard cast iron or gray iron, which consequently makes ductile cast iron more machinable and weldable.
The Best Ways to Identify Different Cast Irons
 - Consulting the manufacturer, not always convenient to do this method.
 - Checking the color on the crack. Grey iron will show grey while white iron is brighter along the fracture.
 - Spark test, each type will give off different shapes and colors of sparks when grinding. This is the most popular method of identifying what type of cast iron you are dealing with.
 - Use a metal file to make a deep mark in the metal, may need some experience here.
Steps to Weld Cast Iron
Once you have identified the particular type of cast iron you are working with, there are some simple general pre-welding steps to follow.
 1. Cleaning the cast iron.
 2. Choosing the correct pre-heat temperature.
 3. Selecting the right welding technique.
Step 1. Cleaning the Welding Area
As with most metals you always will want to start with a clean surface and cast iron is no different. This means things like rust and other impurities on the iron.
You need to be careful that the target area is perfectly dry of all types of foreign materials including water, oils or grease.
You will also need to go in with mineral spirits to remove any surface graphite before welding. Pre-heating the welding area will ensure any entrapped gases are released before the welding process begins.
Step 2. Choosing the correct pre-heat temperature
Learning proper heating and cooling control is a crucial skill to have under your belt before attempting to weld cast iron. It's an important step to prevent stress cracking and minimize any residual stress build-up that may lead to cracking.
When a metal is heated, it expands. If the metal is uniformly heated, no stress would be caused, but localizing the heat in a small region causes stress build-up, leading to cracking.
Ductile metals can handle it by stretching from the stress, but cast iron has low ductility meaning it will crack. Pre-heating reduces the thermal gradient between the cooler surrounding area and the target area. If possible, heat up the whole casting but if not, heat up as large an area as possible.
Steps in Welding Cast Iron
Preheat the iron to _PHONE_ degrees Fahrenheit to minimize internal stresses in the material. You can use an infrared thermometer or observe when the metal starts glowing dull red, which happens at around 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Perform the welding in a dark room so you can notice when the target area starts glowing. Allow it to just glow so then you know that you have achieved the right temperature for welding.
Minimizing the heat during the actual welding process is the next best strategy when pre-heating is not possible. This may require you to stop and start a few times to prevent over heating the welding area. Welding cast iron at high temperatures is a recipe for disaster.
In the past I have used different ways of pre heating cast iron before welding. You could simply use an electric heat gun or if it is a hot day just leave the job in the sun for awhile. Anything to heat the metal is better than leaving it cold.
Step 3. Selecting the right Welding Technique
Choosing the right welding technique comes down to preference, provided it's suitable for the alloy being welded. You also need to choose the best filler. The most common welding techniques are stick, TIG, MIG, and oxy-acetylene welding.
What is the Best way to Weld Cast Steel?
Once you have cleaned the metal, the crack will be visible as a dark line. Drill a hole on either end of the crack to prevent the crack from extending. Failure to drill on both ends of the crack creates the possibility of cracking as you weld, or the part will break over time. I also recommend to create a small channel in the metal to hold the weld by using an angle grinder.
Caution: do not cool the finished product by immersing into water! This will instantly create a major crack.
How to Weld Cast Iron Using Different Types of Welders
The kind of welder to use will be determined by the surface you are welding, and the end result expected. For instance, if you are welding a machined surface, you would use the TIG weld as a spatter from the stick, and MIG welding would cause unnecessary damage to the surface.
1/ Stick Welding
Also known as metal arc welding (MMA), this method uses an electrode covered with flux, and it's the best welding process for cast iron. The electrode required will depend on its application, color match required, and the machining to be done post welding.
The main types of electrodes used are iron, nickel, or copper-based. Nickel-based electrodes are the most popular for cast iron welding as they are stronger, therefore reducing the resistance to cracking.
The process involves melting an electric arc between the electrode and the welding area. Ensure the arc is directed towards the weld pool to minimize dilution that would occur when directed toward the base metal. You should also use the lowest setting to reduce heat stress and avoid damaging the metal.
2/ Oxy-acetylene Welding
This process uses an electrode, but instead of an electric current, the method utilizes oxy-acetylene to generate heat. The slow heating and low amount of heat used in the process results in a large HAZ (heat affected zone), so care must be taken to avoid oxidizing the cast iron. The rod should be welded in the molten pool rather than directly by the flame.
3/ Braze Welding
Brazing is commonly used for welding cast iron parts as it causes minimal impact on the base metal. The process involves using a filler with a lower melting point than cast iron. The filler, therefore, adheres to the surface of the cast iron rather than diluting into the weld pool.
For this technique to work seamlessly, you need to start off with a clean surface. You can also use flux to prevent oxidizing and promote the wetting of the surface.
4/ TIG Welding
TIG welding is generally not recommended due to the highly localized heating characteristics. The skills of the welder also determine the overall outcome of this welding technique.
Frequently Asked Questions about How to Weld Cast Iron
How can I weld cast iron exhaust manifold?
The key to welding a cast iron exhaust manifold is to go low and slow to avoid creating stress that will lead to cracking.
What kind of welding rod do you use on cast iron?
Nickel alloy rods are the most popular for welding cast iron. They are stronger with a low thermal coefficient which reduces welding stress.
Can cast iron be welded to steel?
It's possible but not recommended due to the differences in these metals' chemical and mechanical properties. For instance, steel has higher tensile strength than cast iron, meaning it can withstand pressure before cracking, but cast-iron cracks under stress.
How do you weld cast iron without cracking it?
It's recommended to preheat the surface you want to work on or use minimal heat where preheating is not possible.

Definition funny of Persia:
the most civilized and powerful empire until even after the romans fell. in 559 BC, the persian king Cyrus the great defeated the Mades controlling what is now iran, iraq, and some other countries. Cyrus set out to create a powerful empire. in fact, he created THE FIRST EMPIRE. the word "Persia" comes from the greek word "persis" which means empire. the relative strength of the persian empire at the height of its power was like the relative strength of modern day, china, india, russia, EU, US and japan put together. the persians were the first people in history to give men and women equal rights, abolish slavery and write the very first human and animal bill of rights. they also built in 400s BC the very first stadium, the apadana in persepolis (later burnt down by alexander). the apadana was able to seat 15 (yes, fifteen thousand) people in it, with space left for a grand ceremony. this massive bulding was roofed. unlike the collosium. the arcitectural and worth of this single building, if it lived through the fire alexander put it through, would have dwarfed the city of rome. The persian empire was a god compared to rome. when rome attacked persia (battle of carhae) with 44 thousand soldiers, a 10 thousand man army from the persian empire crushed the romans, and sent tehir general's head back to rome. people commonly mistake persians for arabs, this is a fatal mistake, persians are aryans like the germans. they migrated from southern russia. NEVER CALL A PERSIAN AN ARAB! THEY WILL SNAP, THEY MIGHT DO SOMETHING DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH AND/OR REPUTATION! the persian empire at the height of its power ruled from eastern india, to southern russia, to egypt, to thrace and the persian gulf. they ruled over 80% of the civilized world. the end of persian supremacy: after the arab invasion of persia, their culture was weakened by islam. the islamic hordes burnt all books in the persia libraries, destroying the knowledge that took europe 1000 years to re-invent. even after the arab invasion, persia still held a powerful seat in international sayings. Nader (Na-dde-r) shah of persia, restored the persian glory around the 1600s. modern persia: until 1935, persia was the actuall name, after than, reza shah changed that to "iran" which was the original name the mades and other aryan tribes gave it. the word "iran" literally means "land of the aryans". in 1953, a coup organized by the CIA to bring down iran's first democrtically elected official (mossadeq) because he nationalized the oil industry. they then installed the dictatoric mohamad reza shah, who was a puppet of the americans. he was overthrown in 1979 after the islamic revolution. which produced a more democratic government compared to the Shah's, but not quite democratic enough. in 1980, iraq invaded iran. possibly a work of the CIA, or the americans, in payback for the iranian's hostage crisis (that was nothing compared to what the US did later to iran). iran fought iraq bravely for 8 years, contributed some 1 million casualties, and pushed iraq back. at this time, iran had no weapons program. iraq was aided by the west with sattelite pictures, and chemical and biological weapons, which they launched into iranian cities. after the war was over, at around 1995, iran started to produce its own fighter jet, and tank. they recently developed their medium range missile. they are now working on their controversial nuclear energy program, which the US labels as a plot to develop nuclear weapons. Conclusion: the persian empire was the longest lasting power on earth. it lasted for about 1500 years as a world power. 1200 of those, it was THE world power. if it were up to me, the only nation truely deserving of being called an empire was the persian empire. iran is doing much better than all other islamic countries at the moment. it holds 17% of all of the world's resources. it has what it takes to become an empire again, but unfortunatly, the current world power, and the current government make that impossible. you generally dont learn about the persian empire in schools in the US, canada, mexico, and most of europe, simply because of politics. to give you an image of what they are not teaching you, consider this: you were never taught about rome, wwi, wwii, the cold war and the american colonies. all those put together come close to the magnitude of the importance of the persian empire in shaping the world as we see it today.
the persian empire conquered 80% of the civilized world, and managed to keep its borders intact for 1500 years.
Greek name of the empire of ruled by the Indo-European peoples of the Iranian plateau during the Achaemenid dynasty. The name got carried over by Europeans for more than two millennia. In actuality the inhabitants of "Persia" for millennia have called it Iran, meaning "land of the Aryans". "Persians", Iranians, were responsible for some of the greatest contributions to the modern world. Some examples are the concepts of universal human rights under Cyrus, or Kourosh, the Great, the development of the first postal system, intercontinental road system known as the "Royal Road", modern algebra, medical procedures and analysis of disease, and overall the first empire to form a multicultural basis and the concepts of "states" which have formed the basis of organization that nearly all modern countries follow to this day.
Persians have formed some of the most fundamental concepts in Math, Biology, Chemistry, governmental organization, and modern human rights.
The BEST country in the WORLD with the most attractive people which unfortunately got screwed by a couple of turban-wearing cockroaches with lice crawling beards.
Persia is also known as Iran but call it Persia anyway.
Where all your dreams come true! Actually, Both a country (Iran) and once an empire (sassanid, selucid, and just plain Persian.) Birthplace of Zoroastrianism, and the coolest person in C3C, XERXES I!

Lead Exposure in Maine's Workforce
Tens of thousands of Maine workers are consistently exposed to lead on the job, a known toxic chemical that creates long-lasting health risks. Regardless of this understanding, few are screened for lead exposure and an unacceptable number is continously exposed. Maine needs to adjust and adapt its public health policies to address this challenge. This report examines how.

Learning diffeomorphism models of robotic sensorimotor cascades
Andrea Censi and Richard M. Murray
Submitted, 2012 International Conference on Robotics and Automation
The problem of bootstrapping consists in designing agents that can learn from scratch the model of their sensorimotor cascade (the series of robot actuators, the external world, and the robot sensors) and use it to achieve useful tasks. In principle, we would want to design agents that can work for any robot dynamics and any robot sensor(s). One of the difficulties of this problem is the fact that the observations are very high dimensional, the dynamics is nonlinear, and there is a wide range of "representation nuisances" to which we would want the agent to be robust. In this paper, we model the dynamics of sensorimotor cascades using diffeomorphisms of the sensel space. We show that this model captures the dynamics of camera and range-finder data, that it can be used for long-term predictions, and that it can capture nonlinear phenomena such as a limited field of view. Moreover, by analyzing the learned diffeomorphisms it is possible to recover the "linear structure" of the dynamics in a manner which is independent of the commands representation.

Early Childhood OECD figures
A new UNICEF report out shows that Australia is ranked 3rd last, only gaining 2 out of 10 assessable criteria. Some of the criteria looks a little odd, like 1% GDP on ECS. Why would the amount a country spends on early childhood be a criteria? How does that take into account stay-home moms? In fact the majority of benchmarks indicate that you should be using childcare. What about a mentor / student ratio of 1:2 as it is in our home?

Units of Bitcoin
Units of Bitcoin most commonly are expressed in decimal exponents such as BTC ("bitcoins"), mBTC ("millibitcoins") and μBTC ("bits").
Bitcoin Explained Episode 8: Units of Bitcoin
Decimal metric units[edit]
The BTC unit was chosen to represent a value of 108 so as to give sub-unit precision rather than large whole numbers. Mirroring the standard Le Système International d'Unités, this allows for divisions of 1/10th (deci-bitcoins, dBTC), 1/100th (centi-bitcoins, cBTC), 1/1 000th (milli-bitcoins, mBTC), and 1/1 000 000 (micro-bitcoins, μBTC).
The term "bit" is a popular new unit being used to represent smaller Bitcoin amounts. Due to the rising value of 1 bitcoin (currently 1 BTC = $450 USD), many prices must be displayed in fractional bitcoin amounts. For example, a bottle of beer might be priced at.0085 BTC. These fractional numeric values can be confusing and difficult for many people to read. The bit sub-unit (equal to 0.000001 BTC) is considered by many to be a more memorable and intuitive way of displaying Bitcoin amounts; the aforementioned beer would cost 8500 bits.
Originally proposed on Bitcoin the sub-reddit, and now being embraced by the payment processor Bitpay, the bit sub-unit offers the following advantages:
 - More compatible with existing financial software that can only handle 2 decimal places. For example: using a figures like 49.99 bits instead of.00004999 bitcoins.
 - Figures would remain easily readable in the event of an extreme rise in Bitcoin's exchange rate: if 1 Bitcoin was worth $100,000, then a $4.99 beer would cost 49.90 bits.
 - Bit is an easier to remember unit when compared to other longer unit names and acronyms: 100 bits instead of 100 microbitcoins/100 μBTC/1 millibitcoin/1 mBTC).
However, there are some disadvantages to the bits nomenclature:
 - Unit prefix terms such as micro-, milli-, and centiare more familiar to those who use the metric measurement system (i.e. everyone except Americans)[2].

NetUseEnum
TOC
Collapse the table of content
Expand the table of content
NetUseEnum function
The NetUseEnum function lists all current connections between the local computer and resources on remote servers.
You can also use the WNetOpenEnum and the WNetEnumResource functions to enumerate network resources or connections.
Syntax
NET_API_STATUS NetUseEnum(
 _In_ LMSTR UncServerName,
 _In_ DWORD Level,
 _Out_ LPBYTE *BufPtr,
 _In_ DWORD PreferedMaximumSize,
 _Out_ LPDWORD EntriesRead,
 _Out_ LPDWORD TotalEntries,
 _Inout_ LPDWORD ResumeHandle
);
Parameters
UncServerName [in]
The UNC name of the computer on which to execute this function. If this is parameter is NULL, then the local computer is used. If the UncServerName parameter specified is a remote computer, then the remote computer must support remote RPC calls using the legacy Remote Access Protocol mechanism.
This string is Unicode if _WIN32_WINNT or FORCE_UNICODE are defined.
Level [in]
The information level of the data requested. This parameter can be one of the following values.
ValueMeaning
0
Specifies a local device name and the share name of a remote resource. The BufPtr parameter points to an array of USE_INFO_0 structures.
1
Specifies information about the connection between a local device and a shared resource, including connection status and type. The BufPtr parameter points to an array of USE_INFO_1 structures.
2
Specifies information about the connection between a local device and a shared resource. Information includes the connection status, connection type, user name, and domain name. The BufPtr parameter points to an array of USE_INFO_2 structures.

BufPtr [out]
A pointer to the buffer that receives the information structures. The format of this data depends on the value of the Level parameter. This buffer is allocated by the system and must be freed using the NetApiBufferFree function when the information is no longer needed. Note that you must free the buffer even if the function fails with ERROR_MORE_DATA.
PreferedMaximumSize [in]
The preferred maximum length, in bytes, of the data to return. If MAX_PREFERRED_LENGTH is specified, the function allocates the amount of memory required for the data. If another value is specified in this parameter, it can restrict the number of bytes that the function returns. If the buffer size is insufficient to hold all entries, the function returns ERROR_MORE_DATA. For more information, see Network Management Function Buffers and Network Management Function Buffer Lengths.
EntriesRead [out]
A pointer to a value that receives the count of elements actually enumerated.
TotalEntries [out]
A pointer to a value that receives the total number of entries that could have been enumerated from the current resume position. Note that applications should consider this value only as a hint.
ResumeHandle [in, out]
A pointer to a value that contains a resume handle which is used to continue the search. The handle should be zero on the first call and left unchanged for subsequent calls. If ResumeHandle is NULL, then no resume handle is stored.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is NERR_Success.
If the function fails, the return value is a system error code. For a list of error codes, see System Error Codes.
Return codeDescription
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
An invalid parameter was passed to the function. This error is returned if a NULL pointer is passed in the BufPtr or entriesread parameters.
ERROR_MORE_DATA
There is more data to return. This error is returned if the buffer size is insufficient to hold all entries.
ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED
The request is not supported. This error is returned if the UncServerName parameter was not NULL and the remote server does not support remote RPC calls using the legacy Remote Access Protocol mechanism.
Other
Use FormatMessage to obtain the message string for the returned error.

Remarks
No special group membership is required to call the NetUseEnum function. This function cannot be executed on a remote server except in cases of downlevel compatibility using the legacy Remote Access Protocol.
To retrieve information about one network connection, you can call the NetUseGetInfo function.
This function applies only to the Server Message Block (LAN Manager Workstation) client. The NetUseEnum function does not support Distributed File System (DFS) shares. To enumerate shares using a different network provider (WebDAV or a DFS share, for example), use the WNetOpenEnum, WNetEnumResource, and WNetCloseEnum functions.
Requirements
Minimum supported client
Windows 2000 Professional [desktop apps only]
Minimum supported server
Windows 2000 Server [desktop apps only]

Intercultural Leadership Training | Paeora 2016
In the cooperation with St Heliers Centre Auckland and Carehouse Paeroa we organised from 6-8 May 2016 in Paeroa an Intercultural Leadership Training for young people. Our aim was to encourage and empower youth by providing training that promote and enhance the quality of life for themselves, their communities and our world. With the input from the Māori Community and great workshops (form communication training to music session and basketball coaching) led by young people, we created an open space, seen as an opportunity for young people from various cultures, faiths and no-faith to get to know each other, share their vision, hopes and dreams for New Zealand and for the world.

Talk To Me Intercultural Youth for Peace | Auckland 2015
Our most basic aim here was to create an opportunity for people from various cultures to get to know each other and share their visions, hopes and dreams for the future. Our intercultural training opened a dialogue between us and discussed what our future and living in peace might look like. The dialogue was challenging, disagreements were arise, but new perspectives were born as well.
When we think of cultural differences – we often mean obvious things like differences in language as well as traditional beliefs and customs. However, when we look at a business setting – it's useful to consider culture in more than one dimension. We could be different in terms of regional culture, but we have a lot in common in terms of corporate and professional culture. When we look at cultural difference purely on the basis of country and language – and pander only to this dimension of culture in our business dealings – we can obsess about nuances that make little difference when it comes to getting business done. The aim of this intercultural training is to enable you to better understand cultural diversity and how to manage it effectively to improve workplace performance. This includes relationships, teamwork, productivity, country knowledge, community relationships etc

YOUTH FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY | Workshop for Polish-German Students in Wroclaw, Poland
In the cooperation with the Angelus Silesius Meeting House we provide a workshop: Youth for Human Rights and Democracy. We learn and teach together human rights education in nontraditional educational settings. We aim to reach people from diverse backgrounds, with materials which appeal across cultures. By teaching human rights through all means—from conferences and workshops to hip-hop and dancing—this message has spread around the world.
26 participants from 20 countries catered together to learn the strategies and techniques you need to offer in-depth and culture-specific cross-cultural orientations and take advantage of the opportunity to be trained in the cross-cultural field by Dr. Anna Storck. What did they get at our intercultural trainings?
- Understanding of intercultural learning concepts
- Ability to apply adult, experiential learning principles
- Ability to implement the development of concepts and behavioral strategies via scenarios, specific events, and prior experiences of the participants.
- Ability to facilitate a participant-focused coaching approach to materials and information

text: Ability to pay is a principle in taxation that speaks about tax fairness. According to this principle, taxes must vary according to the amount of wealth, or amounts of income earned by individuals. Hence, individuals who earn income in different amounts must be taxed at different rates. Individuals who earn more income must pay more tax because they have the ability to pay more and it is not because they use more government goods and services that they are taxed higher. The principle of ability to pay is applied in cases of progressive taxation.

Pioneering research and development on the TruScreen system for real-time cervical tissue differentiation has involved close collaboration with leading clinicians and hospitals across the world.
TruScreen's development began in the late 1980s under the guidance of leading medical academics from Sydney University who sought to establish objective technology that could improve on the conventional Pap test. They believed that it should be possible to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissue by measuring changes in physical properties, such as electrical potential.
After almost 20 years in the R&D phase TruScreen was developed using the 'Opto Electrical' Technology for the detection of cancerous cells on cervix. TruScreen contains a sophisticated algorithm framework that has been developed in collaboration with the Australian Government's applied research division, CSIRO.
TruScreen has been honoured with a range of technology and engineering awards, such as the Australian Design Awards in 2002 for engineering design and a further award for software electronics design. TruScreen was also highlighted in the 2004 Australian Government publication 'Imagination – 100 Years of Bright Ideas in Australia'.
The TruScreen system has a strong range of patents across many countries for its real-time tissue classification from signal inputs using proprietary algorithms.
