Sculptor Lisa Roet's work has been an evolutionary process in itself. She maintains the school of thought "of the purity of making art". Her fascination with primates spans her entire artistic career where she combines both science and art. She has worked extensively throughout the world in zoos studying monkeys, gibbons, apes and gorillas. Where she considers "what makes "us" primates ", the methods of communication used and our many other similarities. Themes have a common thread and range from "heart and love' "beauty and the beast" "creation vs evolution and "heartbeats". Her body of work includes bronze, stained glass, video, photography, printmaking and recently a new media called "musion" a cutting edge digital type film. Parts of the primates bodies have featured in all media especially the finger, a death mask and primate hands where the palm and finger placement are of real interest to her. Lisa also has a collection of gorilla suits which also feature in her work where she reflects upon the fashion industry. Lisa Roet seems to never tire of her subject matter and is constantly re-invigorating her ideas about nature and our relationship between primates and humans, love and the heart. Her continued versatility and enthusiasm to embrace all materials and explore their possibilities is inspiring.

Insect swarms can generate as much static electricity as a storm cloud
Insects have been known to sense and tap into electric fields, but new research shows that swarms can actually produce atmospheric electric charges. By measuring the extent of this influence, the scientists found that large swarms could produce as much charge as a storm cloud.
Bees have a more intimate relationship with electricity than you might expect. They sense changes in electric fields to navigate to flowers. Static charges play a role in helping pollen stick to them. And they can gain an electric charge as they fly through the air. But what influence bees may have on the atmospheric electric charge hadn't been investigated.
"We always looked at how physics influenced biology, but at some point, we realized that biology might also be influencing physics," said Ellard Hunting, first author of the new study. "We're interested in how different organisms use the static electric fields that are virtually everywhere in the environment."
So, researchers at the University of Bristol and University of Reading measured the electric fields near swarming honeybees. The team placed an electric field monitor near research hives and measured changes when swarming behavior began. And sure enough, swarming honeybees raised the atmospheric electricity by between 100 and 1,000 volts per meter, depending on the density of the insects within the swarm.
From this starting point, the team then developed a model that could extrapolate the influence of other swarming insects on the atmospheric electric charge. Locusts were found to have the most substantial impact, because they can swarm at incredible, "biblical" scales. The researchers measured their charge, and combined it with records of their densities while swarming, and found that they can produce similar atmospheric electric charges as a storm cloud.
The team says that the influence of swarming insects on the atmospheric electric field is a factor that's currently overlooked in climate and weather models. It also suggests that other organisms, like birds and microbes, might have similar effects.
The research was published in the journal iScience.

Using Math.Net for Discrete 0-1 Matrix over F2
I am interested in using Math.Net to solve discrete 0-1 matrices over F2.
For example, I have the following matrix:
A = { { 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 },
{ 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0 },
{ 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0 },
{ 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0 },
{ 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0 },
{ 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1 },
{ 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0 },
{ 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1 },
{ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1 } };
and the following vector:
b = { 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1 }
for which I would like to obtain the following solution:
x = { 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 }
But obviously for an arbitrary b. Does MathNet offer anything that would help with this problem? I have played around with the library, but cannot get it working for anything besides doubles.
Unfortunately Math.NET Numerics does not support matrices or vectors over finite fields yet.

This paper proposes an adaptive low-dc-link-voltage-controlled coupling hybrid active power filter (-HAPF) with a neutral inductor, which can compensate both dynamic reactive power and current harmonics in three-phase four-wire distribution power systems. Due to its adaptive low-dc-link-voltage characteristic, it can obtain the least switching loss and switching noise and the best compensating performances, compared with the conventional fixed and newly adaptive dc-voltage-controlled -HAPFs. The design procedures of the dc-link voltage controller are discussed, so that the proportional and integral gains can be designed accordingly. Moreover, the general design procedures for the adaptive dc-voltage-controlled -HAPF with a neutral inductor are also given. The validity and effectiveness of the adaptive dc-link voltage-controlled -HAPF with a neutral inductor are confirmed by experimental results obtained from a 220-V 10-kVA laboratory prototype compared with the conventional fixed and adaptive dc-link voltage-controlled -HAPFs without a neutral inductor.

What is weight bearing?
Putting weight on your affected (weaker) leg is called "weight bearing." Your physical therapist will check one of the categories below. Read what is beneath the category. This is your "weight-bearing status." It tells if you may or may not put any body weight on your affected leg. It also tells you how much weight you may place on the affected leg.
Non-weight bearing (NWB)
Place no weight on your affected leg. Do not touch the floor with your affected leg. While you stand or walk, you must hold your affected leg off the floor (see Figure 1 at right).
Touch-down weight bearing (TDWB), or toe-touch weight bearing (TTWB)
When you stand or walk, you may touch the floor only for balance. Do not place actual weight on your affected leg (see Figure 2 at left).
Partial weight bearing (PWB)
When you stand or walk, you may place ____ percent of your body weight ( _____ pounds) on your affected leg (see Figure 2 at left).
Weight bearing as tolerated (WBAT), or weight bearing to tolerance (WBTT)
When you stand or walk, place only as much weight as feels comfortable on your affected leg. Let pain be your guide. If you feel pain, place less weight on the affected leg (see Figure 2 at left).
Full weight bearing (FWB)
You may place your full body weight on your affected leg when you stand or walk.
Note: Your therapist may give you other instructions about weight bearing.

Bots Best Practices
Symphony has a number of best practices to ensure smooth bot development and a positive user experience.
Getting Your Bots Attention
It is common that Symphony chatrooms contain more than one bot listening for events. In order to preserve name space and ensure that there isn't overlap between bot workflows, we recommend that bots only respond to events that begin with an _USER_:
By '_USER_' your bot, it ensures that only the intended bot responds.
It is best practice to have bots listen for commands beginning with a '/'. This naming convention makes it clear to other users that you are trying to get a bot's attention. Additionally, it makes it clear to your bot that a user is instructing it to perform an actions and kick off its intended workflow.
It is also best practice to enforce command line style arguments for commands that require additional input or data:
Help Menu
It important that users understand exactly what your bot is capable of and what commands your bot understands. It is best practice for your bot to list its commands inside a help menu:
It is considered best practice that bot's only create and read from one datafeed. If your bot goes down, it should re-authenticate, create a new datafeed, and begin reading from this one.
Creating and reading from multiple datafeeds concurrently can result in your bot processing duplicate messages and subsequently sending duplicate or out of order messages back to the user.
All datafeed management and best practices are provided out of the box by our dedicated SDKs and BDKs (Bot Developer Kit)
Message Rate
For large rooms, it is recommended that bots do not send messages at a higher rate than 2 messages/sec or every 500ms.
Bulk Adding Users
If bots are bulk adding users to rooms, it is recommended that bots add users at rate of 3 users / second.
Duplicate Messages
In some rare cases, bots may receive duplicate messages from Symphony. In order to prevent duplicate processing, developers can implement logic to keep track of previous messages. It is recommended that bots store a list of unique messageIDs up to 15 minutes in the past. Upon each new message, bots should do a quick validation that new message is not received in the past and continue to process the message.

How long does Thompson's Water Seal last on brick?
10 yearsWater Seal can only be used on bare and uncoated brick, stone or concrete.
How long will Water Seal last.
If applied correctly, Water Seal will last up to 10 years..
How much does it cost to seal brick?
How much does it cost to seal brick? The total cost to seal brick will range from $0.19-$12.00 per square foot depending on the type of brick sealer used, and the amount of brick being sealed, and whether or not you are applying the brick sealer, or hiring a contractor to apply the brick sealer for you.
Is it good to seal brick?
Brick is extremely porous, so it can absorb water like a sponge, and over time, water absorption can cause crumbling and cracking in the brick. Apply a sealer to your exterior brick for protection against water damage and minimize moss growth.
Is it a good idea to seal brick?
The Brick Development Association states, 'We believe the use of sealants and water repellent treatments on brickwork is totally unnecessary and take the view that properly specified and built work performs perfectly satisfactorily in resisting water penetration by wind driven rain, without their need.
How often should you seal brick?
Before: Split face block is extremely porous and needs to be sealed every 5 to 7 years. After: Clearcoat sealants do not leave any residue on the block. Before: Split face block is very porous and susceptible to water penetration.
What is the best product to seal brick?
LastiSeal is a water-based, polyester-polymer and polyurethane sealer for brick, concrete, pavers, stones, mortar and other porous masonry. LastiSeal penetrates up to 4 in. and fills the pores, bonds the substrate and cures as a hard plastic below the surface.
How do you clean brick before sealing?
Warm water alone is typically sufficient in cleaning exposed brick but if the wall is particularly dirty, then the dish detergent and table salt mixture can cut through grease and stains. Apply it to the brick and let it sit for about 10 minutes before using the brush to scrub away the dirt.
How do you apply Thompson's Water Seal to Brick?
AREAS OF APPLICATION Suitable for use on brick, mortar, stone & concrete. Give the surface a scrub with a stiff bristle brush. Fill any cracks and do pointing repairs, if needed. APPLICATION Give the tin a good shake.
Can brick be waterproofed?
Brick is not waterproof. … It can enter directly through the brick, the mortar, and/or the contact zone between the brick and mortar. The primary path of water into brick walls is the contact zone between brick and mortar and mortar joints. The vertical joints between individual brick are rarely solid.
What can I use to waterproof brick?
Sweep or dust brick thoroughly before sealing. … Scrub the brick with warm, soapy water and a rag. … Pour a brick sealer into a paint tray. … Paint the sealer onto the brick surface using a paint roller. … Apply a second coat of sealer and allow it to dry for 24 hours before walking on or touching the brick surface.
Is Thompson Water Seal good?
5.0 out of 5 stars Love Thompson's Water Seal with the harvest gold color! Basically, it takes your weather worn fence and restores it back to almost new looking boards, plus protecting it from the elements. I used my spray gun to apply, and a little goes a long way. Obviously, you can use a brush to apply it as well.
What is the best water sealer for brick?
Smartseal are suppliers and stockists of highly effective sealers for waterproofing brick and masonry walls. Brick sealers are solvent free and once cured will give lasting protection to briock walls. The impregnating sealer will provide a water resistant barrier and prevent water ingress on brick walls and masonry.

Allen J. Smith, MD (1863–1926)Professor of Pathology
Dr. Allen J. Smith had already discovered the Bacillus coeruleus (pseudomonas smithii) and had won the Medical News prize and other anatomical prizes when he arrived in Galveston in September of 1891 with his wife and two year old son. Upon being told that his chair was to be called "pathology, bacteriology, and microscopy," the young Doctor commented, "I do not mind the work suggested by such an inclusive terminology, but begged for the appearance of dignity the Chair be known as that of Pathology alone." The first professor of all subjects taught with a microscope - histology, embryology, bacteriology, parasitology, microscopic pharmacology, as well as tropical medicine, nervous and mental diseases, inorganic chemistry, and clinical pathology - was twenty-seven years old. He lectured for a time on medical jurisprudence and was dean on two different occasions.

Although turning a console off is something usually pretty straight forward, it appears that the Switch isn't just as easy as pressing the power button to shut it down, as some users have found.
Pressing the power button on the tablet will put the console into a 'sleep mode' instead of turning it off, you'll need to bring up the power options menu to turn it off entirely.
Here's how it works:
- You'll need access to the console directly, the Switch cannot be turned off via controllers.
- Hold down the power button for at least five seconds.
- A menu will pop up that gives you the option to put the console in sleep mode or power options.
- Select power options.
- You'll then have the option to restart the console or turn it off. Select to power down.
You will then have fully powered down the Switch! Although it may seem simple, some may be surprised that there is no way to turn off the console via the joy-cons or any other controller used with the console.

In this paper, high-resolution three-dimensional seismic data are used to interpret a transpressional salt tectonic structure in the Yingxiongling area, Qaidam Basin, China. The geometries of the salt structure and the Shizigou fault system that intersects it are precisely depicted. The Shizigou fault system is composed of suprasalt and subsalt components. The suprasalt component is a Y-shaped reverse fault, and the subsalt component is a complex flower structure. In previous studies, suprasalt and subsalt components were interpreted as two independent fault systems. This paper proposes instead that the suprasalt and subsalt faults are kinematically related and decoupled across the salt layer.

UK research organisation developing an Ohmic Heating (OH) Network is looking to develop its technology in to new sectors via a licencing agreement. Essentially the Ohmic heating (aka resistive heating, or Joule heating) is used to induce and maintain the plasma current in the JET tokamak; raising the temperature of the plasma to around 20,000,000 °C. The OH network constructed at CCFE consists of high current opening and closing switches, a counter-pulse circuit, commutating resistors, and various safety and protection devices and their controls.
The switching network can withstand currents of up to 40 kA and has an (80bar) air blast system to eliminate the arc when the switch is opened. A counter-pulse circuit is installed in case of arc re-strike, which charges a bank of high storage capacitors (1.2 mF at 25 kV).
The OHC is currently used to induce and maintain the plasma current in the JET nuclear fusion tokamak however the apparatus could potentially be developed for use in three broader applications in various sectors. These are the testing of industrial circuit components (e.g switches and busbars), the high current or high voltage OH application onsite or high-speed data acquisition for analysis.

}
The SetAccountActive() function is a Medium Layer function which sets an account to 'ACTIVE' state, or more
precisely, updates the 'accountactivestatus' column to a boolean value of TRUE(1) of the specified account
number. This function plays one of the roles where the money withdrawal and account activity is allowed or
not. Refer to the given SQL Create Table queries provided earlier to better understand the given columns of the
database tables.
void SetAccountActive(string accountNumber)
{
string createCommand;
createCommand = "UPDATE accountdatabase SET accountactivestatus = '1' WHERE
accountnumber = ";
createCommand += accountNumber;
//cout << createCommand << endl;
commandSQL(accountDB, createCommand);
}
The SetAccountInactive() is a Medium Later function which does exactly the opposite of what was described
earlier regarding the SetAccountActive() function. It updates the 'accountactivestatus' column to a boolean
value of FALSE(0). For better understanding of the database schema, refer to the given SQL create table
queries given at the beginning of this tutorial.
void SetAccountInactive(string accountNumber)
{
string createCommand;
createCommand = "UPDATE accountdatabase SET accountactivestatus = '0' WHERE
accountnumber = ";
createCommand += accountNumber;
//cout << createCommand << endl;
commandSQL(accountDB, createCommand);
}
The IsAccountActive() is a Medium Level function which returns TRUE(0) if the specified bank account is
active or returns FALSE(1) if the bank account is not activated. Upon receiving its single parameter, the account
number, it checks whether that account number exists. If the account exists, an SELECT SQL Query is
assembled to select the 'accountactivestatus' column from the account database and check whether it is active
or inactive based on the boolean value. Upon receiving the query result, the function returns the boolean value.
bool IsAccountActive(string accountNumber)
{
string createCommand;
if(AccountExists(accountNumber))
{
createCommand = "SELECT accountactivestatus FROM accountdatabase WHERE
accountnumber = ";
createCommand += accountNumber;
createCommand += " LIMIT 1";
PGresult *result;
result = PQexec(accountDB, createCommand.c_str());
int nrows = PQntuples(result);
int mynumber;
string mystring;
mystring = string(PQgetvalue(result,0,0)); //return PQgetvalue in string type
mynumber = atoi(mystring.c_str()); // First convert string object to C
string then convert to integer
if(mynumber)
{
return 1;
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}
The DepositToAccount() is a Medium Level function which receives two parameters; the account number and
the amount to be deposited. Upon receiving the two parameters it assembles an UPDATE SQL Query which adds
the deposit amount to the current balance amount.
void DepositToAccount(string accountNumber, double depositAmount)
{
string createCommand;
double currentBalance;
double newBalance;
PGresult *result;
currentBalance = GetAccountBalance(accountNumber);
newBalance = currentBalance + depositAmount;
createCommand = "UPDATE accountdatabase SET accountbalance = ";
createCommand += doubleToString(newBalance);
createCommand += " WHERE accountnumber = ";
createCommand += accountNumber;
result = PQexec(accountDB, createCommand.c_str());
}
The WithdrawFromAccount() Medium Level function receives two parameters; the account number and the
withdrawal amount, as opposed to the DepositToAccount() function described previously. The
WithdrawFromAccount() function assembles an UPDATE SQL Query which deducts the specified withdrawal
amount from the current account balance.
bool WithdrawFromAccount(string accountNumber, double withdrawalAmount)
{
string createCommand;
double currentBalance;
double newBalance;
PGresult *result;
currentBalance = GetAccountBalance(accountNumber);
newBalance = currentBalance - withdrawalAmount;
if(currentBalance > MIN_REQUIRED_BALANCE && withdrawalAmount < currentBalance)
{
createCommand = "UPDATE accountdatabase SET accountbalance = ";
createCommand += doubleToString(newBalance);
createCommand += " WHERE accountnumber = ";
createCommand += accountNumber;
result = PQexec(accountDB, createCommand.c_str());
return 1;
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}
The GetAccountBalance() is a Medium Level function that returns the account balance of a specified account
number, which is the single parameter of the function. Upon receiving the parameter value, it assembles a
SELECT SQL Query which selects the account balance and returns it as a float data type. This function plays a
major role throughout the ATM machine software examples.
double GetAccountBalance(string accountNumber)
{
string createCommand;
double balance;
char *s;
createCommand = "SELECT accountbalance FROM accountdatabase WHERE accountnumber = ";
createCommand += accountNumber;
createCommand += " LIMIT 1";
PGresult *result;
result = PQexec(accountDB, createCommand.c_str());
int nrows = PQntuples(result);
string mystring;
if(nrows > 0)
{
if(!PQgetisnull(result, 0, 0))
{
switch(PQresultStatus(result))
{
case PGRES_TUPLES_OK:
/*************************************************************
* To get single value from result that is readable, must use *
* PQgetvalue(result, 0, 0) parameters!!! *
*************************************************************/
mystring = string(PQgetvalue(result,0,0)); /* return PQgetvalue in
string type */
s = const_cast<char*>(mystring.c_str());
balance = atof(s);
break;
}
}
}
PQclear(result);
return balance;
}
The AccountExists() is a Medium Level function that returns a Boolean value determining whether the
specified account number (as a parameter) is exists. It queries the database for the specified number, if the
query result returns the number of rows more than 0, then the account exists, otherwise if the query returns 0
rows, the account number does not exist. This function is commonly throughout the ATM software example to
prompt inform the user that the account doesn't exist or that the wrong account number has been entered.
bool AccountExists(string accountNumber)
{
string createCommand;
bool exists;
createCommand = "SELECT accountnumber FROM accountdatabase WHERE accountnumber = ";
createCommand += accountNumber;
createCommand += " LIMIT 1";
PGresult *result;
result = PQexec(accountDB, createCommand.c_str());

Breeze File "Open" and "Open To" dialogs | DiscoveryBiz.Net
Breeze File "Open" and "Open To" dialogs
The following options allow you to specify which file to open:
"File Name" combo box
Specifies the file you want to open. This box lists files with the extension you select in the Files of Type field.
"Files of type" combo box
Specifies the type of file / stream you want to open.
"Open To" combo box
Specifies the channel where file / stream will be open to.
"Details" check box
This checkbox specifies whether to use info and preview panels of File dialog box (turn On / Off) when cursor in the file list window is set to the new position.
When info and preview functions are turned off, scrolling through the file list is faster. Usually info and preview operations are so fast that is it difficult to notice difference between speed of scrolling in checked and unchecked states. An impact of image preview operation is noticeable only when sizes of images displayed in the preview window are very big, or if files / streams are accessed at the remote computer via network with a low data access speed.
"Options..." button
Click this button, if it is enabled, to open a dialog where you can specify details of data format, data access etc. for the currently selected file / stream.
There are exists popular file / stream data formats which can not be identified precisely by the specific signature information kept in the file name, file name extension, in the the file header contents etc. Often signature or file name extension information allows identifying a general type only of a file data format. As a result those files / streams can not be recognized and visualized properly. For example, there exists hundreds YUV video and image formats with the same "yuv" file extension.
Breeze recognizes a number of that sort situations and offer the user an option to specify data format. When such file / stream is selected, Breeze enables the "Options..." button, and you can access dialog where details of data format for the selected file / stream can be specified. Picture in the preview panel is changed according to the specifications set in the dialog.
"Look in" combo box
Specifies network address, computer, drive, directory etc. where you may look for file / streams.
Drives
Specifies the drive in which Breeze stores the file that you want to open.
Directories
Specifies the directory in which Breeze stores the file that you want to open.

Social and Cultural Environment Nature
The social environment consists of the sum total of a society's beliefs, customs, practices and behaviors. It is, to a large extent, an artificial construct that can be contrasted with the natural environment in which we live.
Every society constructs its own social environment. Some of the customs, beliefs, practices and behaviors are similar across cultures, and some are not. For example, an American traveling to Britain will find many familiar practices but not so much if traveling to China.
This social environment created by a society-at-large in which a business functions can be referred to as its external social environment. If a business operates in a multicultural society, then the social external social environment is even more complicated because the environment will consist of diverse sub-populations with their own unique values, beliefs, and customs.
A business also has its own social environment. We can refer to this as its internal social environment, which is simply the customs, beliefs, practices, and behaviors within the confines of the business. A business has much more control over its internal social environment than it does with its external social environment.
Nature of social environment
The social environment, social context, socio-cultural context or milieu refers to the immediate physical and social setting in which people live or in which something happens or develops. It includes the culture that the individual was educated or lives in, and the people and institutions with whom they interact.
The physical and social environment is a determining factor in active and healthy aging in place, being a central factor in the study of environmental gerontology.
The interaction may be in person or through communication media, even anonymous or one-way, and may not imply equality of social status. Therefore, the social environment is a broader concept than that of social class or social circle.
Cultural environment
A cultural environment is a set of beliefs, practices, customs and behaviors that are found to be common to everyone that is living within a certain population. Cultural environments shape the way that every person develops, influencing ideologies and personalities. Cultural environments are determined by the culmination of many different aspects of culture that influence personal choices and behaviors.
Religious beliefs are an important building block of a specific cultural environment. For many cultures, a certain religion has been a critical part of everyday living for generations. Outsiders need to be aware of the customs and traditions related to specific religion in order to respectfully navigate a certain cultural environment.
Family and the relationship within the family are additional factors that determine a cultural environment. Many cultures are structured around families, while others promote individuality and self-sustainability. Like religion and family, language is the third most important element of a cultural environment. Outside of these components, educational and social systems affect the structure of a cultural environment. Social systems may determine customs or taboos that are important to a particular region, while education may determine what types of ideologies are publicly shared. When visiting a new country or region, it is important for visitors to understand the cultural environment in order to protect themselves from shame, embarrassment or the act of offending a stranger.
Characteristics of Culture
(1) Culture is social
Culture does not exist in isolation. It is a product of society. It develops through social interaction. No man can acquire culture without association with others. Man becomes a man only among men.
(2) Culture is shared
Culture is not something that an individual alone can possess. Culture in sociological sense is shared. For example, customs, traditions, beliefs, ideas, values, morale etc. are all shared by people of a group or society.
(3) Culture is learnt
Culture is not inborn. It is learnt. Culture is often called "learned ways of behaviour". Unlearned behaviour is not culture. But shaking hands, saying thanks' or 'namaskar', dressing etc. are cultural behaviour.
(4) Culture is transmissive
Culture is transmissive as it is transmitted from one generation to another. Language is the main vehicle of culture. Language in different form makes it possible for the present generation to understand the achievement of earlier generations. Transmission of culture may take place by imitation as well as by instruction.
(5) Culture is continuous and cumulative
Culture exists as a continuous process. In its historical growth it tends to become cumulative. Sociologist Linton called culture 'the social heritage' of man. It becomes difficult for us to imagine what society would be like without culture.
(6) Culture varies from society to society
Every society has a culture of its own. It differs from society to society. Culture of every society is unique to itself. Cultures are not uniform. Cultural elements like
customs, traditions, morale, values, beliefs are not uniform everywhere. Culture varies from time to time also.
(7) Culture is dynamic
No culture ever remains constant or changeless. It is subject to slow but constant change. Culture is responsive to the changing conditions of the physical world. Hence culture is dynamic.
(8) Culture is gratifying
Culture provides proper opportunities for the satisfaction of our needs and desires. Our needs both biological and social are fulfilled in the cultural ways. Culture determines and guides various activities of man. Thus, culture is defined as the process through which human beings satisfy their wants.
ConclusionFrom the above discussion we are clear that each and every society has a culture of its own. Culture is not only diverse but also unequal, but is found in societies throughout the world.

Birching is corporal punishment with a birch rod, typically given on the delinquent's buttocks or back. It was the most common school, home and judicial punishment in Europe up to the 19th century when caning gained increasing popularity.
A birch rod is a bundle of leafless birch twigs bound together, much like a bunch of flowers, to form an implement for whipping.
Today birching is no longer used for judicial punishment, and has also almost completely died out as a corporal punishment for children. In Britain birching as a judicial punishment for young offenders was abolished in 1947, but the Isle of Man (a small island between Britain and Ireland with its own legal system) caused a good deal of controversy by continuing to birch young offenders into the 1970s.
It remains as a nostalgic sadomasochistic practice, mainly in Northern and Eastern Europe.
In Finland and Russia there is also a tradition to strike one's body with soaked birch twigs in the sauna to increase blood circulation. These birch rods, however, don't have their leaves removed and thus there is no pain involved.

Columbus Regional Hospital is now protected from future flooding thanks to hazard mitigation and a floodwall with 15 FloodBreak® passive floodgates.
On June 7, 2008, Haw Creek, a small tributary, came out of its banks due to flash flooding in the northern part of the floodway. The unprecedented flooding quickly flooded Columbus Regional Hospital, Cummins Diesel, other businesses and numerous residential homes in the Haw Creek Flood Corridor.
Columbus Regional Hospital was forced to evacuate 157 patients as flooding knocked out primary and emergency electrical systems, boilers, chillers, and transport system.
A no-adverse-impact flood risk management approach was adopted by the city of Columbus, IN in response to catastrophic flooding in 2008. Detailed hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of the watershed was developed along with a plan for permanent mitigation of future flood damage both for facilities like Columbus Regional and the overall flood risk areas in the Haw Creek flooding corridor.
As a critical lifeline entity, Columbus Regional was allowed to undertake floodproofing measures that would not adversely impact other properties.
A 2,400 foot floodwall was built two feet higher than the 100 year flood elevation and included 15 passive FloodBreak floodgates at all entry points, which allow unimpeded access by vehicles and pedestrians during dry times, but automatically deploy without human intervention or power if flooding occurs.
Read why the Columbus Regional Hospital flood mitigation was chosen as a FEMA mitigation best practices story.

There is a national shortage of nurses and doctors trained to conduct sexual assault forensic exams. NBC News mapped where they are provided in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. and how each structures its programs, using the best available data for each state. Providers are shown either by their location or what counties they cover. In some cases, multiple providers serve the same county. Read the full story: After a sexual assault, where can you get a medical and forensic exam?
After the story published, NBC News asked the International Association of Forensic Nurses, the organization with the largest listserv of providers, to put a call out for any missing programs. Forensic nurses around the country responded, and NBC News was able to add 93 additional programs to the more than 1,500-program database in Jan. 2021.
How NBC News did it
Reporters contacted every statewide coalition against sexual assault, state agencies, law enforcement offices, university training programs and dozens of program coordinators and individual examiners in an effort to understand the availability of sexual assault forensic exams around the country, first in December 2019, then in June 2020.
That availability varies widely state to state, as does the structure of training programs, laws and government oversight. Most states did not have regularly updated databases tracking where SANEs work and what facilities have programs. NBC News consulted advocates and administrators in states with minimal tracking on how best to map what is known about the state's resources. A summary of each state's services and any additional notes on how data was collected appears with each state.

please let me know how to fix this issue
distance between two points on earth can be calculated using the Haversine Formula.
Aside from that, please do as the "New Topic"-Button in this forum requests:
 - search the forum for similar topics
If there are none, please
 - describe the problem precisely and include full request URLs / bodies and responses in code format (three backticks)
 - make sure your API key is replaced by xxx or api-key or any other placeholder
This will make sure our staff doesn't answer every question thrice and makes it easier for them to actually investigate your problem.

the distance is included in the json file which is the response from the backend
i modified the question
The coordinates you provided as lng1,lat1,lng2,lat2 don't seem to have anything in common with the coordinate that is giving you the error, as they are vastly different.
Thus, as stated above, please provide the complete request you sent, along with the complete answer you got.
Best regards,
thanks for the reply
the coordinates were obtained from the map via mouse clicks so each time the user clicks the mouse the coordinates are taken and sent to the backend.
would you please tell me what do you mean by vastly different?
moreover, distance it self is not that important, the most important to me is to receive the response from openrouteservice
there are basically two ways to use openrouteservice:
1 - create an application that uses openrouteservice API.
You have to develop something that will run a request and get some response.
2 - use our maps client (that internally uses openrouteservice API) to find places, calculate directions and isochrones.
So, what is the method you are using?
To be able to help you, it is important that you tell us, step-by-step, how to reproduce your case (if you are using the maps client) or the request code if you are using the API directly.
You can use also our Interactive documentation (API playground) to get technical details about the API Dashboard | ORS

_USER_ _USER_ i modified my reply a bit.
i am using openrouteservice for the purpose you mentioned in point 1"for getting directions".mainly I am looking for the direction and it is included in the geojson response with full data profile.
i just send a url with the api key and the start and end coordinates and i receive a json file with various info about the route between the start and end coordinates specified in the url
would you please provide a solution to this issue? why i receive such a message from the backend?
without the actual URL you send and the response you get, we can only speculate about the reason why you are receiving this error, as we cannot reproduce your problem.
What I meant by the coordinates being vastly different is, that the coordinates you send to the backend (lng1,lat1,lng2,lat2) are somewhere in North America, while the coordinate that the backend is sending back (point 0) is somewhere in Europe.
This leads me to believe that some error happened when copy-pasting
That is why it is important for us to get the actual request you send (full URL, without api-key), so we can reproduce the problem and see what's going on.
hi _USER_ _USER_
thank you for the reply. as you requested, here is the error i get:,51.55067242637449&end=-92.46758236101581,44.28117641093738
other falsey coordinates:
thanks for posting the complete request.
I'm sorry if my last reply was unclearly formulated - by stating
I didn't mean to ask for two different URLs, one containing the api-key and one not, but for a single one that contains a placeholder instead of the key or no key at all, as stated here:
As to not have your api-key exposed to the public, I have edited your reply and hidden the revision so that it no longer contains your key. As the second URL got redundant by doing so, I have removed it as well.
On to your question:
This is a common issue with rural or under-mapped regions:
I'd recommend actually choosing points that are routable to, that have some kind of path leading to them.
Best regards,
_USER_ _USER_
would you please tell me how to expand the search radius?
kind regards
as stated above, you can use the radiuses-parameter to expand your search radius.
However, this is not possible using a GET-request like the one you provided earlier.
You'll have to issue a POST-request to do so.
You can find all the information about this in our API-documentation.
For more information about the different body-parameters, click on the?-icon at the right.
If you scroll down after having selected your desired endpoint, you can look at example code in various languages.
Best regards,

Why males are drawn to females with tiny legs
Why males are drawn to females with tiny legs
Which face is much more desirable? You share the tastes of most heterosexual men if you chose the face on the left. It really is a face that is composite or "morph", made of the faces of eight ladies with unusually little legs. The facial skin regarding the right is a morph of eight women with unusually feet that are large.
It is quite a significant difference, isn't it? Females with smaller legs have actually prettier faces, at the very least in accordance with the males whom participated in this research. Therefore do ladies with extended thigh bones and narrower sides, also ladies who are taller overall. Therefore the competition is not also a close one. "These will be the many strikingly various morphs I've ever seen, " claims Jeremy Atkinson, a psychologist that is evolutionary the University at Albany, ny.
Atkinson and their colleague Michelle Rowe measured hand size, base size, thigh length and hip width on 60 white feminine students, then modified each dimension to take into account specific variations in overall height. For every single of 16 body-part dimensions, they selected the eight females because of the shortest lengths as well as the eight aided by the longest, and constructed morphs of the faces. These morphs had been then ranked for attractiveness by 77 heterosexual male students.
The males had been three-and-a-half times as more likely to find the short-footed morph as more desirable, and very nearly 10 times as prone to state it had been more feminine, Atkinson and Rowe discovered.
Likewise, these were significantly more than 11 times as very likely to select the narrow-hipped morph as more appealing, and eight times as more likely to pick the long-thighed morph, the scientists reported at a gathering of this Human Behavior and Evolution community in Eugene, Oregon, final month.
Tough beginnings
Atkinson believes guys find these features attractive simply because they act as markers of the healthier youth. Continue reading "Why males are drawn to females with tiny legs"

Description
Ecrit dans un fichier typé ou dans un fichier texte.
La syntaxe de la procédure Write présentée ici est un exemple qui illustre que Write peut prendre un nombre variable d'arguments.
Procédure Write pour les fichiers typés
Dans le code Delphi, la procédure Write écrit un fichier dans un composant fichier. F est une variable fichier, et chaque V est une variable du même type que le type de composant de F. Pour chaque variable écrite, la position du fichier en cours est avancée au prochain composant. Si la position du fichier en cours se trouve en fin de fichier (c'est-à-dire que Eof(F) est à True), le fichier est agrandi.
Procédure Write pour les fichiers texte
Dans le code Delphi, la procédure Write écrit une ou plusieurs valeurs dans un fichier texte. Le paramètre F, s'il est spécifié, est une variable fichier texte. Si le paramètre F est omis, la variable fichier standard Output est implicitement prise en compte. Chaque valeur P est un paramètre de Write. Un paramètre de Write comprend une expression en sortie dont la valeur est écrite dans le fichier. Un paramètre de Write peut aussi contenir les spécifications donnant la largeur d'un champ et le nombre de décimales. Chaque expression en sortie doit être de type Char, l'une de type Entier (Byte, Shortint, Word, Longint, Cardinal), flottante (Single, Real, Double, Extended, Currency), chaîne (PChar, AnsiString, ShortString), chaîne compressée (packed) ou de type booléen (Boolean, Bool).
Un paramètre de Write a la forme :
OutExpr [: MinWidth [: DecPlaces ] ]
OutExpr est une expression en sortie.
MinWidth et DecPlaces sont des expressions de type entier :
 - MinWidth spécifie la largeur minimale du champ qui doit être supérieure à 0. MinWidth caractères sont écrits exactement (en utilisant les espaces du début, si nécessaire) sauf lorsque OutExpr a une valeur qui doit être représentée sur un nombre de caractères supérieur à MinWidth. Dans ce cas, suffisamment de caractères sont écrits pour représenter la valeur de OutExpr. De même, si MinWidth est omis, le nombre nécessaire de caractères est écrit pour représenter la valeur de OutExpr.
 - DecPlaces spécifie le nombre de décimales d'une représentation d'un nombre de type Real à virgule fixe. Il ne peut être spécifié que si OutExpr est un des types Real, et si MinWidth est aussi spécifié. Lorsque MinWidth est spécifié, il doit être supérieur ou égal à zéro.
Write avec une variable de type caractère : si MinWidth est omis, la valeur du caractère OutExpr est écrite dans le fichier. Sinon, MinWidth - 1 espaces suivis de la valeur du caractère de OutExpr sont écrits dans le fichier.
Write avec une des valeurs du type entier : si MinWidth est omis, la représentation décimale de OutExpr est écrite dans le fichier sans être précédée d'espace. Si MinWidth est spécifié et que sa valeur est plus grande que la longueur de la chaîne décimale, des espaces sont écrits avant la chaîne décimale afin que la largeur du champ soit de MinWidth.
Write avec une des valeurs du type réel : si OutExpr est une des valeurs du type réel, sa représentation décimale est écrite dans le fichier. Le format de cette représentation dépend de la présence ou de l'absence de DecPlaces. Si DecPlaces est omis (ou s'il possède une valeur négative), une chaîne décimale à virgule flottante est écrite. Si MinWidth est aussi omis, une valeur de 17 est prise par défaut pour MinWidth ; si MinWidth est inférieur à 8, la valeur prise en compte sera de 8. Le format de la chaîne en virgule flottante est :
[ | - ] <digit> . <decimals> E [ + | - ] <exponent>
Le tableau suivant donne la liste des composants de la chaîne en sortie.
Composant Signification
[ | - ]
" " ou "-"l, selon le signe de OutExpr
<digit>
Chiffre unique, "0" seulement si OutExpr est à 0
<decimals>
Chaîne de MinWidth-7 (mais au plus 10) chiffres
E
Caractère [E] en majuscule
[ + | - ]
Selon le signe de l'exposant
<exponent>
Exposant de quatre chiffres
Si DecPlaces est présent, une chaîne décimale à virgule fixe est écrite. Si DecPlaces est supérieur à 216, la valeur prise en compte sera 216. Le format de la chaîne à virgule fixe est le suivant :
[<blanks>] [ - ] <digits> [.<decimals>]
Remarque: La précision réelle de types Real est inférieure à 216 chiffres. Le type Double a environ 16 chiffres décimaux, et le type Single a environ 8 chiffres décimaux. La RTL de Delphi remplit le caractère '0' dans ces champs à précision supplémentaire. Par exemple :
writeln(Pi:1:20);
affiche :
3.14159265358979312000
Le tableau suivant donne la liste des composants de la chaîne à virgule fixe :
Composant Signification
[<blanks>]
Des espaces afin de satisfaire à MinWidth
[-]
Si OutExpr est négative
<digits>
Au moins un chiffre, mais sans zéro de tête
[.<decimals>]
Décimales si DecPlaces > 0
Write avec une des valeurs du type chaîne : si MinWidth est omis, la valeur de la chaîne OutExpr est écrite dans le fichier sans être précédée d'espace. Si MinWidth est spécifié et que sa valeur est plus grande que la longueur de OutExpr, des espaces sont écrits avant la chaîne décimale afin que la largeur du champ soit de MinWidth.
Write avec une valeur de type chaîne compressée (packed) : si OutExpr est du type chaîne compressée, le résultat sera identique à celui d'une chaîne dont la longueur est le nombre d'éléments dans le type chaîne compressée.
Write avec une des valeurs de type booléen : si OutExpr est de type Boolean, le résultat reviendra à écrire les chaînes True ou False, suivant la valeur de OutExpr.
Remarque: Lors de l'utilisation de Write, le fichier doit être ouvert en écriture.

We study the problem of magnetization and heat currents and their associated thermodynamic forces in a magnetic system by focusing on the magnetization transport in ferromagnetic insulators like YIG. The resulting theory is applied to the longitudinal spin Seebeck and spin Peltier effects. By focusing on the specific geometry with one Y 3 Fe 5 O 12 (YIG) layer and one Pt layer, we obtain the optimal conditions for generating large magnetization currents into Pt or large temperature effects in YIG. The theoretical predictions are compared with experiments from the literature permitting to derive the values of the thermomagnetic coefficients of YIG: the magnetization diffusion length l M∼ 0.4 μ m and the absolute thermomagnetic power coefficient ε M∼ 10− 2 TK− 1.

Monarch Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances
Clients who operate and maintain energy and transportation projects may benefit from participation in the Monarch Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances (Monarch CCAA).
CCAA partners receive incidental take authorization for the monarch butterfly on enrolled lands, if the monarch is federally listed. During routine general operations, vegetation management, and maintenance activities, CCAA partners maintain, enhance, or create habitat for monarchs. CCAA partners identify lands they would like to enroll during the application process. Partners must implement a subset of select conservation measures to maintain and enhance a proportion of their enrolled lands (adopted acres) as monarch habitat. These conservation measures mesh well with IVM efforts that clients may already be implementing. Each year, partners track implementation of conservation measures, conduct effectiveness monitoring, and provide a report to the CCAA coordinator.
Merjent assists energy and transportation clients with Monarch CCAA participation in the following ways:
- Liaising with the CCAA program coordinator;
- Conducting desktop assessment of rights-of-way and facilities;
- Preparing the application package;
- Proposing a plan for conservation measure implementation;
- Tracking conservation measures implemented annually;
- Monitoring habitat metrics on adopted acres through annual surveys of randomly selected plots;
- Developing the implementation plan; and
- Preparing and submitting annual reports to the CCAA program coordinator.
Clients interested in the CCAA need to apply before the species is protected to secure take authorization.

Christmas in Italy: The Befana Tradition
Sponsored content
According to Italian traditions, Befana is an old woman who gives presents throughout the country on the night of January 5, also known as the Epiphany Eve. By giving out gifts, the lady is often compared to Santa Claus.
Many people believe that the name Befana originates from the Feast of Epiphany. Others have the belief that Befana is a descendant of Strenia, a goddess of the Romans. In reality, Befana was not as popular in Italy as it is today. It started in Rome and only spread to other parts of the country during the 20th century.
The majority of Italians believe that Befana visits all the children in Italy on the eve of January 6 and gives them rewards. If the kids have the right character, she gives them candy. Otherwise, Befana gives either dark candy or a lump of coal. In the impoverished regions in Italy, such as Sicily, children get a stick in a stocking instead of coal.
Since the Befana is an excellent housekeeper, people believe that she always sweeps the floor before leaving. Some trust that the sweeping means doing away with the problems of the year. In most cases, the child's family leaves a small amount of food and a glass of wine for the Befana.
Regarding appearance, the general impression is that the Befana is a hag riding a broomstick through the air, donning a soot-covered black shawl since her entry point into houses is the chimney. She always carries a gift hamper containing candy and other presents.
A historical depiction of Befana
The Legend of the Befana
Some Christians believe that the Three Wise Men who gifted baby Jesus in the bible approached the Befana before the birth of Christ. The men asked for directions to the location of Jesus since they had already spotted his star in the sky. Since the Befana was unaware of the location, she offered a one-night shelter to the wise men. On the following day, she refused to go on the search for Jesus, citing busyness as her most significant concern.
Later on, the Befana decided to follow the men in the pursuit of Jesus. The search is still on to date because she could reach the wise men. This explains why the Befana travels around children and gives the good ones candy, while the poor ones get coal, online, and garlic.
Another Christian legend states that the Befana was an ordinary woman with a beloved child whose death caused significant grief. When Jesus was born, the lady went to see her, believing that he was her son. She took gifts to Jesus to make him happy, and as a result, Christ made her the mother of all Italian children.
If anybody sees the Befana, they get a thump from her broomstick because she likes to remain private. The objective of this belief is to keep children asleep during the night.
The last explanation about the origin of the Befana claims that she was cleaning and turned the wise men away when they came looking for Jesus. Later, guilt befell her, and she started looking for Jesus. The broomstick she travels on is for cleaning purposes, while the gift hamper is intended for baby Jesus. Although the Befana is yet to succeed on this mission, she gives gifts to children because all of them have Jesus in them.
The Befana Today
All regions in Italy celebrated the Befana, making it a national icon. However, the practice is held in the highest regard in the Marches, Latium, and Umbria. Urbana is the official home of the lady. A massive festival occurs every year, with up to 50,000 people in attendance. Several people imitate the Befana by swinging from the main tower and enjoying their time with kids.
Italian children usually expect to get coal in their stockings as an indicator of any bad behaviour committed earlier in the year. Three Italian regions are renowned for lively Befana traditions.
Piazza Navona
This is a market in central Rome that sells candy and toys during the time of the Befana festivals. Tourists often flock the area on the midnight of January 6 to confirm the myth that the Befana shows herself at this market through a window.
Urbania is a town located in the Pesaro e Urbino province in the Marches. An annual Befana festival gets held between January 2 and January 6. During the celebrations, locals build the 'house of the Befana' and reserve a mailbox addressed to the lady.
Fornovo di Taro
Here, a national meeting on the Befana gets held on January 5 and 6 yearly.
Rest of the World
In regions outside Italy with a considerable number of Italians, the local community usually observes the Befana celebrations. For example, a Befana choir performs in the Festival of Lights parade at the Kensington Market in Toronto every December. At this time, people wear their Befana costumes and sing songs that wish for the sun's return.
The singers then proceed to give candy to kids, to play the accordion, and sing loudly such that members of the public join the party.
How to Travel to the Befana Festival
For the best possible experience, it is advisable to visit Italy during the Christmas period. Here, you will get a first-hand viewing of the build-up to the ceremony, as well as the feast itself.
If you want to travel to Italy, you need a visa and the necessary supporting documents like a valid passport. However, this is set to change in 2021 after the introduction of the ETIAS permit. So how does ETIAS work? It is a newly formed authorization system that aims to improve the way people get into Europe. It focuses on improving security by using biometric data and scrutinizing the backgrounds of all people willing to travel into Europe by checking their history against Europol and Interpol. More importantly, it lasts for three years, meaning that it does not have to get replaced as frequently as a regular passport.

If there is a case were a client would like to combine an exception rule to a transaction type, say for a non-billable number, but still needs to have the transaction amount over a certain value approved first before it exports to billing, both rules can be used together.
In this example, the client would like any transaction marked as an exception when using matter 999999, but also want any postage transaction over $20.00 approved first. Therefore, the transaction would first have to be corrected by the end user, then the transaction needs to be approved by a manager.
- If there is an exception rule for the matter 999999 under ANY TYPE transaction, you need to remove it.
- Then create the exception rule under EACH transaction type, using a different name for each instance, i.e. Fax Exception 999999, Copy Exception 999999, etc.
- Now, under the transaction type that requires approval, highlight the new exception rule and move it to Priority 1. The Requires Approval should be Priority 2 or lower.
- What will happen now is that any Postage transaction with matter 999999 and over $20.00 will first be marked as an Exception and have to be corrected to a valid matter number. It will then move from Exceptions to Requires Approval and need to be approved to Valid before it can be exported.

How to Get More Out of a Short Story
The short story: do not cancel your GRE exam. Period. Another thing with the choice is that the logic behind it does not make much sense. If the GRE was so terrible that you needed to cancel your exam then how come you just made it all the way through? And just about any other legitimate reason to cancellation your exam would stop you from taking the next step because you would not have made it to the end in the first place.
First off, let's examine the test itself. It is a test of general reasoning and problem solving abilities. You should expect to get an average grade in this course, depending on how well you have prepared yourself. Most students in this situation do not know what to expect in this class and will make silly decisions based on their lack of knowledge and preparation.
I suggest you look into how much prep time you have, and where you stand at this point in your learning curve. This will help you decide if you can afford to take another GRE exam or if you should focus on other areas of study. It would also help you determine if it would be worth it to pay for a new GRE prep course or whether you should move on.
The second issue is that the logic to cancel your exam really does not make much sense. Why would you take the next step? Your chances are not that great and you will not improve enough on the previous test to make it into the next level anyway.
In short, it is your GRE examination that is the important one, not the short story. If you take the next step and get into the next level of GRE studying, it will be a lot more beneficial to your GRE studying.
If you want to get more out of your GRE test, you should start looking for ways to get more out of it. If you focus on the real test, you will be prepared for it and you will get more out of it. If you start focusing on studying, you can see more improvement than ever before and you will be ready to take a GRE prep course.
There are a few places to look when you are looking for GRE prep courses or GRE courses online. Some of them will give you a full list of questions you have to answer and will show you how to get answers and move through each section. Others will give you free access to the actual GRE material and you can practice and do practice tests on them. Either of these options should be used.
When you are getting ready for your next test you should always remember that there is a difference between test taking and preparing. Many people think they know what they are doing and get the job done in the short story. They think they know how to prepare and think that the next test will come easy and they will be able to pass it without any trouble. When you are looking for answers, remember that GRE prep is different than your short story.
When you go to a book store and pick up a short story and read the first few pages, it should feel natural and comfortable. When you are going to a class, you are not sitting there for an hour listening to a professor explain your problem or answer all the time. You are going to learn by asking questions and having real life conversations and using the information you hear.
When you study for the GRE, you can find that the short story may be perfect for you but the best way to find the material that works for you is to look for short stories that are similar to what you want to accomplish with your GRE exam. You will be surprised at how many different topics are covered. and how simple and useful some of them can be to use as a source for your study.
When you want to get better at your GRE, you will have to go and study, but you will have to remember that GRE prep is something entirely different from studying for a short story. Make sure you find ways to get more out of your GRE exam.


SQL Server T-SQL DateDiff Example
How do we find the difference between two dates in SQL Server. Not just the difference in the number of days, but also number of weeks, months.
The answer is by using DateDiff in SQL Server. Datediff is also suitable for getting the time elapsed between the start and end of a process.
Here are some real life examples of how t-sql datediff can be used to get a date difference:
1. Calculating the number of days remaining for a postpaid mobile service before it expires? Here an Automated system can calculate the date difference in sql and send an SMS to a customer informing him/her of the number of days remaining.
2. Particularly suitable in embedded systems to note the time taken for each process while manufacturing a product.
3. In library management automation to keep track of the number of days a book had been issued to a customer.
4. For daily login-logout required in an electronic attendance software system of any company. The tsql datediff function can be used to calculate the exact working hours of every employee.
The signature of this function is as follows:
DATEDIFF( interval, date1, date2 )
where date 1 & date 2 can be the actual date or a part of date like an year.
Note: date1 should be greater than or equal to date2.
Interval here can be any of the following as shown in the following chart:
t-sql-date-diff
image1-t-sql datediff interval
Let us see some examples to make it more clear and interesting.
select datediff (yy, '1984', '1997') -- 13 years difference
select datediff (dd, '1984', '1986') -- 731 days difference
select datediff (mm, '1984', '1986') -- 24 months difference
select datediff (qq, '1984', '1986') -- 8 quarters difference
select datediff (hour,'2016/05/02 11:00', '2016/05/02 14:45'
-- 3 hours difference
Database Oriented Example
The DateDiff SQL function can also be used in a where clause.
Let us create a sample database for the same in our SQL Server instance.
Use Master
go
create database DateDiff_Demo
go
Use DateDiff_Demo
go
create table Compaints_Details
(ComplaintID Integer Identity,
 CustId Varchar(7),
 Complaint_Description Varchar(100),
 Engineer_ID Varchar(4),
 Date_of_Complaint date,
 Date_of_Resolve date
 )
 Insert into Compaints_Details
(CustiD, Complaint_Description, Engineer_ID,
 Date_of_Complaint,Date_of_Resolve)
 Values
 ('C1', 'Modem problem', 'E1', '21-Apr-2016', '24-Apr-2016')
 Insert into Compaints_Details
(CustiD, Complaint_Description, Engineer_ID,
 Date_of_Complaint,Date_of_Resolve)
 Values
 ('C2', 'Wire Connection problem', 'E1', '22-Apr-2016', '22-Apr-2016')
 Insert into Compaints_Details
 (CustiD, Complaint_Description, Engineer_ID,
 Date_of_Complaint,Date_of_Resolve)
 Values
 ('C3', 'Socket problem', 'E1', '23-Apr-2016', '28-Apr-2016')
 Insert into Compaints_Details
 (CustiD, Complaint_Description, Engineer_ID,
 Date_of_Complaint,Date_of_Resolve)
 Values
 ('C5', 'LAN problem', 'E1', '29-Apr-2016', '29-Apr-2016')
 GO
 select* from Compaints_Details
 go
sql datediff sample data
Image2-SampleData to run a sql datediff query
Let us say we want to see how many days were elapsed for every complaint to get resolved.
Here we will use the Tsql DateDiff function.
SELECT [ComplaintID]
 ,[CustId]
 ,[Complaint_Description]
 ,[Engineer_ID]
 ,[Date_of_Complaint]
 ,[Date_of_Resolve]
 , DateDiff(dd, [Date_of_Complaint]
 , [Date_of_Resolve]) as [Days taken to resolve]
FROM [DateDiff_Demo].[dbo].[Compaints_Details]
tsql datediff days
Image3-DaysTaken before a complaint was resolved
Conclusion:
And that's how we can use the SQL Server T-SQL DateDiff function to calculate the day, month, year, and time part differences between two specified dates.

In temperate portions of North America, some bats that remain active during winter undergo short periods of hibernation below leaf litter on the forest floor during episodes of below-freezing weather. These winter roosts may provide above-freezing conditions, but the thermal conditions under leaf litter are unclear. Further, little is known of the relationship between temperatures under litter and potential energy expenditure by bats. Therefore, I characterized thermal conditions below leaf litter, compared temperatures encountered under different litter depths, and evaluated the quality of these sites as hibernacula based on potential energy use by eastern red bats (Lasiurus borealis
) during winter in forests of the Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas, USA. Over an averaged 24-h period, there was no significant difference in temperature among different depths of leaf litter, but temperatures under litter remained significantly warmer than air temperatures, especially during nighttime and under snow cover. Temperatures below leaf litter were significantly warmer on south-facing slopes than north-facing slopes, but predicted metabolic rates did not differ among aspects. Predicted metabolic rates of eastern red bats were lowest under the deepest leaf litter measured (8cm) and highest under ambient air conditions. Depending on depth of leaf litter cover, predicted energy savings based on O² consumption from roosting under litter were 1.9 to 3.1 times greater than remaining in ambient air during periods of freezing weather and around 5.6 times greater when roosting under leaf litter with snow cover. A model for predicted total energy consumption (estimated as the total oxygen consumption during a 24-h period) by eastern red bats indicated that when roosting below leaf litter, energy consumption would be reduced with greater ground temperatures, greater leaf litter moisture, and when located on south-facing slopes. Predicted metabolic rates and total energy consumption may provide more insight on the quality of roost sites for wintering bats than temperature of roost sites alone.

How many people are currently homeless in the United States? How many of them are families, youth, or veterans? The answers to these questions and more can be answered by point-in-time counts. A point-in-time count is an unduplicated count on a single night of the people in a community who are experiencing homelessness that includes both sheltered and unsheltered populations.
Basics of the Count
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that communities receiving federal funds from the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants program conduct a count of all sheltered people in the last week of January annually. Electronic administrative records are used to enumerate people living in emergency shelters and transitional housing. Unsheltered counts are required every other year, although most communities conduct an unsheltered count annually. In an unsheltered counting efforts, outreach workers and volunteers are organized to canvas Continuums of Care to enumerate the people who appear to be living in places not meant for human habitation.
During these point-in-time counts, communities are required to identify whether a person is an individual, a member of a family unit, or an unaccompanied youth under the age of 18 or age 18 to 24. In addition, communities must identify if a person is chronically homeless, indicating long-time or repeated homelessness and the presence of a disability.
Why do we Count?
Point-in-time counts are important because they establish the dimensions of the problem of homelessness and help policymakers and program administrators track progress toward the goal of ending homelessness. The first of these counts was conducted in January 2005 meaning that we have data for every CoC for the last ten years. Collecting data on homelessness and tracking progress can inform public opinion, increase public awareness, and attract resources that will lead to the eradication of the problem. If homeless youth are not included in local point-in-time counts, their needs could be under-represented as governments, nonprofits, and key stakeholders at the federal, state, and local level plan to respond to the problem.
HUD uses information from the local point-in-time counts, among other data sources, in the congressionally-mandated Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress (AHAR). This report is meant to inform Congress about the number of people experiencing homelessness in the U.S. and the effectiveness of HUD's programs and policies in decreasing those numbers.
On the local level, point-in-time counts help communities plan services and programs to appropriately address local needs, measure progress in decreasing homelessness, and identify strengths and gaps in a community's current homelessness assistance system.
The point-in-time counts are not without limitations. There is variation in count methodology year-to-year within and across communities. Unsheltered counts have more limitations than sheltered counts and there is more variation in methodology. Point-in-time counts are, however, the only measure that enumerates people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in addition to those who are sheltered. And, despite its flaws, the annual point-in-time counts result in the most reliable estimate of people experiencing homelessness in the United States from which progress can be measured.
One gap that exists in these point-in-time counts is the coverage of unaccompanied youth (or those living separately from any family members) under the age of 24. Despite the fact that point-in-time counts are required to collect the number of unaccompanied youth under the age of 18, those numbers do not appear accurate, with many CoCs reporting that there are zero unaccompanied youth in their communities. Youth may be afraid or unwilling to enter individual shelters and communities typically have scarce resources, beds, and units dedicated to youth. This means that, in most communities, the required count of sheltered youth is more likely a count of beds available to youth as opposed to the number of youth who need shelter.
Even further complications arise in trying to identify the number of youth who are unsheltered. Youth are often not engaged with traditional homelessness assistance programs and congregate in different areas than older individuals experiencing homelessness. This makes unsheltered youth harder to find and therefore to count.
Without adequate coverage of homeless youth in point-in-time counts, there is a danger that they will continue to be underserved.

Mint family herb health benefits: lemon balm vs mint vs catnip
Whether for medicinal purposes or savory preparations, there are countless herbs that are used all over the world. Each herb belongs to a unique plant family, which often has hundreds of members. With so many herbal species looking similar, it is not uncommon among gardeners to often confuse them.
Lemon balm, mint, and catnip are the members of the mint or Lamiaceae family that has 236 genera with over 7,000 species.Thus, being members of the same family, they share a lot of resemblance and family characteristics. So how do you tell the difference between mint, lemon balm, and catnip?
Here are the key differences to distinguish the three herb species!
Appearance: lemon balm vs mint vs catnip
Mint herb grows from 6 inches to 3 feet high and spread up to 3 feet. It has matte-surfaced leaves that are usually dark green in color.
Catnip herb grows in sprawling clumps 2 to 4 feet high and 3 feet wide. Its leaves are downy and blue-gray-tinged.
In contrast to the two, lemon balm herb grows to about two feet tall and two feet wide,making it even shorter than catnip. It produces bright green foliage, especially if it gets plenty of sunlight all day.
Taste differences of lemon balm, mint and catnip
Fresh mint herb leaves, from which the Spearmint Tincture is made, tend to have a stronger flavor and a menthol taste. It leaves a lingering cool effect on the tongue.
Catnip herb is much similar to mint in taste, but it is a bit weaker. When used in tea, it gives the tea a woodsy, almost grassy taste. This pleasant taste is also preserved in our Catnip Tincture.
In comparison to these, lemon balm herb has a strong lemony scent and citrusy taste. This flavor has to do with the presence of citral, citronellal, and other minor well-known chemicals. They are also contained in Lemon Balm Tincture, which concentrates all the beneficial nutrients of the herb.
Lemon balm, mint and catnip health benefits
Eating fresh or dried mint herb leaves helps eliminate bad breath while inhaling essential oils improves brain function. Among others, mint health benefits include soothing IBS and indigestion.
Catnip herb is mostly consumed in tea, and it is best known as one of the herbs for stress and anxiety. Consuming catnip tincture also helps soothe indigestion and insomnia. And like mint, it is also used to cure the symptoms related to gastrointestinal upset and flatulence.
As compared to the above two, lemon balm health benefits include not only relieving stress but also helping you become calmer and uplifts your mood. Lemon balm herb has been traditionally used to gain an increased sense of calmness.
Whilelemon balm, catnip, and mint are all popular herbs from the same plant family, they have different properties and health benefits. Now that you know the differences and the benefits they have to offer, it's time to find the best products containing these herbs.
