As a workaround, follow this workflow:
1. Cap the top with a planar surface
2. Knit the 2 surface bodies and for a solid
3. Shell the solid with.5 mm
You will get this warning:
The Thickness value is greater than the Minimum radius of Curvature. The shell may succeed, but could cause undesirable results, such as bad geometry. To find the Minimum radius of Curvature, use Tools, Check.
That being said, the end result might be close enough to what you need:
BTW, there si an interesting warning on the shell feature in the tree:
OMG thank you so much! Finally got it to work!
It's cool that Alin solved your problem by using the Shell command. We often end up using Surfacing commands to work our way around failures of the Shell command and now the Shell command has the crowing rights. On the other hand, the warnings that the command gives you are worth listening to and thinking about, even if you decide to forge ahead. (Which I invariably do.)
You can often track down the problem areas in your part by using a smaller value for the thicken, doing a binary search to nail down the maximum thickness that will work. Visual examination of the maximum thickness part will often show where are an edge or surface is about to disappear. Sometimes you might find that a thicker part works, in which case you can do a similar binary search for the thinnest part that will build. Another approach is offset a surface from groups of faces to see if certain boundaries are causing the difficulty.
You might also want to run the stringent Check tool on your part to make sure that it is OK. Even a part that checks good may go bad later as you add more features. You might have to return to the early features to "fix" them so that the later features will work.

FrameworkElement.SizeChanged Event
Occurs when either the ActualHeight or the ActualWidth properties change value on a FrameworkElement.
Namespace: System.Windows
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: Not mapped to an xmlns.
public event SizeChangedEventHandler SizeChanged
Use a handler based on SizeChangedEventHandler to handle this event.
The Windows Phone layout system reads properties in the SizeChangedEventArgs event data class of this event, to determine whether the reported size changes should be considered significant. This allows the layout system to avoid forcing a layout change because of visually imperceptible differences between old and new height or width values. The imperceptible differences might be caused by rounding or calculations of a floating-point value.
The SizeChanged event uses specialized event data derived from RoutedEventArgs, not EventArgs. However, the event does not bubble (it does not travel a true event route).
It is not strictly necessary to avoid calling other APIs that influence layout of the current object from within a SizeChanged handler. For example: setting Height or Width; calling InvalidateMeasure or UpdateLayout; calling ApplyTemplate; any operation that might resize child elements and thus invalidate the parent layout. The layout engine has internal logic that is capable of avoiding many looping issues. However, it is still possible to create sizing or rendering loops if your handler logic combined with surrounding layout is not capable of reaching an end result for the size of the relevant object.
SizeChanged is raised whenever the size (either ActualHeight or ActualWidth) has changed on the object, and is raised after the Measure and Arrange passes are complete (for more information about these concepts, see Layout and panels for Windows Phone). If the position of the object within a parent container changes, but not the size, SizeChanged is not raised.
LayoutUpdated is a similar event, but LayoutUpdated is also raised for position changes. In addition, LayoutUpdated occurrence is not scoped to a specific object's layout properties, and is instead reporting on the entire visual tree that an object is contained in. LayoutUpdated informs you that something within the overall visual tree that contains the object has changed, but the layout specifics (size, position) of the object where the handler is attached might not have changed.

In Vegetable Literacy, Deborah Madison reveals the surprising relationships between vegetables, edible flowers and herbs within the same botanical families, and how understanding these connections can help home cooks see everyday vegetables in a new light.
This groundbreaking new cookbook celebrates the diversity of the plant kingdom. Destined to become the new standard reference for cooking vegetables, it shows cooks that, because of their shared characteristics, vegetables within the same family can be used interchangeably in cooking. It presents an entirely new way of looking at vegetables, drawing on Madison's deep knowledge of cooking, gardening and botany. For example, knowing that dill, chervil, cumin, parsley, coriander, anise, lovage and caraway come from the umbellifer family makes it clear why they're such good matches for carrots, also a member of that family. With more than 300 classic and exquisitely simple recipes, Madison brings this wealth of information together in dishes that highlight a world of complementary flavors. The recipes showcase combinations that are simultaneously familiar and revelatory, such as:
Inspiring improvisation in the kitchen and curiosity in the garden, Vegetable Literacy will forever change the way we eat and cook.

A couple of questions about custom layouts
I am trying to make a vocal score for this strange piece I'm writing.
my questions:
 1. is it possible to reorder the instruments only for a particular layout, and if so, how? (in this case, I want piano below the chorus in the vocal score, but not the full score).
 2. This piece involves looping, so some players actually are "playing" more than one instrument at a time. For instance, there's a piano part that is looped (digital piano), and then the player switches to bari sax. So they're both the same player, but I'd only like to have the piano appear in this layout and not the bari sax? Doable?
 3. The vocal section is relatively short, and at the end of a 9-minute movement. Is it possible for a layout to contain only an incomplete movement - a specified measure, range?
 1. Layout Options. Select the Vocal Score in the right panel, then go Players > Uses custom player order. Tick that, then move players up and down as you wish.
 2. Workarounds involve either using two separate players for piano and bari (this is by far the easiest), or copying/cueing everything from the piano into a separate piano player that only shows up in the vocal score.
 3. Not natively. Dump all multirests onto page 1, set page 2 to use the First Master Page, then throw in a text frame that explains where the chorus come in?
pianoleo you are my savior again - thank you!

Former Jailhouse Lawyer Bobby Battle Dies at Age 80
by Monte McCoin
Former prisoner Bobby Battle, an Oklahoma City native with a sixth-grade education who filed a lawsuit that ultimately led to historic reforms and the desegregation of Oklahoma prisons, died on December 25, 2017 at the age of 80.
"He must have just had native intelligence, one of those people who was educated even though they have poor formal education," attorney Stephen Jones recalled. "Bobby just taught himself about federal civil rights and prison reform and the cases and went forward."
In 1970, Battle was housed for two months in the "dungeon," a subbasement area at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, after he filed a complaint with the warden about a 275-pound guard who beat a much smaller fellow prisoner. His experience led him to research and prepare a 1972 lawsuit that would continue making its way through the courts for nearly 30 years and become the most expensive prison litigation in state history.
That suit launched an FBI probe in 1974 that found understaffing, inadequate medical facilities, inadequate access to legal materials, racial segregation and discrimination, and unconstitutional limits on legal mail. The case was ultimately certified as a class-action after four other prisoners joined in, and the Department of Justice intervened. Over the years, courts ordered far-reaching reforms in Oklahoma's prison system until, on January 26, 2001, U.S. District Court Judge Michael Burrage granted a motion to terminate the case under the Prison Litigation Reform Act. See: Battle v. Anderson, U.S.D.C. (E.D. Okla.), Case No. 72-cv-95.
While incarcerated, Battle became a civil rights activist and created an organization behind bars called the Committee Against Prison Exploitation. Following his release in 1987 he hosted a radio program, the "Bobby Battle Forum," which helped connect callers with available community social services and advocated for voting rights for former prisoners. He called his experience in prison "Knucklehead College," and often spoke with others who had been incarcerated. He was buried in his hometown of Oklahoma City.
"Bobby is an unsung hero. He had the guts to stand up and do the right thing," Jones stated.
Many of the improved prison conditions that prisoners take for granted were achieved through hard-fought litigation by activist prisoners in the 1970s and 80s. Battle was one of them, and he helped effect reforms in Oklahoma prisons that continue today.

The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and its visitors are mourning the loss of Blackie, a Nile hippopotamus.
In a release, the Zoo says the hippo was euthanized Monday due to ailments associated with advanced age.
Blackie was 59 and is believed to be the oldest male Nile hippo ever recorded.
During his time at the Zoo, the hippo sired three offspring, all males. Blackie was a fan favorite for both visitors and staff members alike.
To help the hippo as it aged, the Zoo built a special addition with a heated pool at the Africa barn in 2008. The Zoo says Blackie lived out his last years contentedly eating lots of produce and floating in the pool which he didn't have to share.
Black came to the Zoo from Africa in 1955 when he was about a year old.
Hippos are classified as "vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Hippo populations are declining due to habitat loss and poaching but are still found over a large range of eastern and southern Africa.

text: A new survey by iQ Content reveals that, while the Irish eGovernment program has made progress, significant implementation problems are being experienced by the majority of public sector agencies. Based on interviews with public sector eGovernment professionals, the iQ Content survey reveals that Ireland's eGovernment program remains largely on track. Seventy-five percent of respondents have a clear idea of what eGovernment is about and its implications for their organization and 65% of organizations consider their implementation to be either on or ahead of schedule. However, the survey also reveals that the majority of public sector agencies (75%) are experiencing difficulties implementing their eGovernment strategies. Content creation, content management, and accessibility also emerge as being problematic for most public sector organizations; 95% of respondents admitted to having difficulties creating and managing content on their Web sites. Respondents identified a lack of strategic vision (40%) and a shortage of the appropriate human resources (20%) as key barriers to effective eGovernment implementation. The survey also highlights how human resource constraints are impacting on the delivery of eGovernment services because 75% of public sector Web sites are managed by just one person and in most cases, this person spends less than half their time on Web-related activities. Eighty-five percent also identified accessibility as a key challenge for effective egovernment implementation.

There is a close correlation between culture and economy, and economic development of any region is inseparable from cultural factors. Qi-Lu culture, as one of the traditional Chinese cultures, exerts a profound impact on economic development of Shandong. This paper analyzes the similarities and differences between Qi culture and Lu culture, and takes economic development of Jining and Zibo as examples to investigate the characteristics of regional economic development in Shandong Province under the impact of the two cultures. Regional economic development is inseparable from driving force of culture. Traditional culture not only needs to be promoted, but moreover, reformed and innovated. Only in this way can we promote the construction of Shangdong as a strong economic and cultural powerhouse. Culture means a tradition. It is under combined action of factors like a region's unique geographical environment, natural conditions, customs, humanities, history, politics that the region's unique culture is formed[1]. Economy is formed on certain cultural basis. The development of regional economy is inseparable from the driving force of regional culture. In turn, the economy acts on the inheritance and development of culture[2]. The integrated development of culture and economy can not only provide a source of power for economic development, but also carry forward the promotion and prosperity of culture.

Among its innovations, Object Matrix is showing its Process in Place (PiP) content-aware feature that aims to reduce the processing needed to index and access content.
In addition to demonstrating PiP, Object Matrix is launching its new management API software, which enables access to audit and monitoring information. It's also featuring Trashcan, which works like the trashcan on a PC, meaning that when content is accidentally deleted it can be stored on the system and recovered instead of being removed entirely.
Nicholas Pearce-Tomenius, sales and marketing director, Object Matrix, said: "We are noticing the rapid increasing of file sizes and the number of platforms for content provision. The constant changing of distribution methods means that it's more important than ever for broadcasters to be able to easily access their content and be sure that it won't be damaged or lost."

HTML search and replace in Clojure
In Clojure, data structures are mostly built from a handful of core data structures such as lists, vectors, maps, and sets.
This means that most data structures can leverage all of the generic data transformation and querying functions built for the core data structures instead of having to rebuild the same functionality for each data structure.
This feature in combination with Clojure's rich standard library makes Clojure very attractive for solving data munching problems from other domains.
In this article, I'm going to demonstrate these capabilities for solving HTML transformations using Clojure.
First, I'm going to describe how HTML can be represented in Clojure.
With this representation in mind, I'll demonstrate how we can transform HTML documents in Clojure.
Finally, I'll tie the transformations together with the HTML parsing and formatting to produce a complete solution.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I am trying to wrote a program to manage a Database through a Scala Gui, and have been running into alot of trouble formatting my data in such a way as to input it into a Table and have the Column Headers populate. To do this, I have been told I would need to use an Array[Array[Any]] instead of an ArrayBuffer[ArrayBuffer[String]] as I have been using.
My problem is that the way I am trying to fill these arrays is modular: I am trying to use the same function to draw from different tables in a MySQL database, each of which has a different number of columns and entries.
I have been able to (I think) define a 2-D array with
val Data = new Array[Array[String]](numColumns)(numRows)
but I haven't found any ways of editing individual cells in this new array.
Data(i)(j)=Value //or
do not work, and give me errors about "Update" functionality
I am sure this can't possibly be as complicated as I have been making it, so what is the easy way of managing these things in this language?

You don't need to read your data into an Array of Arrays - you just need to convert it to that format when you feed it to the Table constuctor - which is easy, as demonstrated my answer to your other question: How do I configure the Column names in a Scala Table?
If you're creating a 2D array, the idiom you want is
val data = Array.ofDim[String](numColumms, numRows)
(There is also new Array[String](numColumns, numRows), but that's deprecated.)
You access element (i, j) of an Array data with data(i)(j) (remember they start from 0).
But in general you should avoid mutable collections (like Array, ArrayBuffer) unless there's a good reason. Try Vector instead.
Without knowing the format in which you're retrieving data from the database it's not possible to say how to put it into a collection.
You can alternatively put the type information on the left hand side, so the following are equivalent (decide for yourself which you prefer):
val a: Array[Array[String]] = Array.ofDim(2,2)
val a = Array.ofDim[String](2,2)
To explain the syntax for accessing / updating elements: as in Java, a multi-dimensional array is just an array of arrays. So here, a(i) is element i of a, which an Array[String], and so a(i)(j) is element j of that array, which is a String.

Luigi's answer is great, but I'd like to shed some light on why your code isn't working.
does not do what you expect it to do. The new Array[Array[String]](numColumns) part does create an array of array of strings with numColumns entries, with all entries (arrys of strings) being null, and returns it. The following (numRows) then just calls the apply function on that returned object, which returns the numRowsth entry in that list, which is null.
You can try that out in the scala REPL: When you input
new Array[Array[String]](10)(9)
you get this as output:
res0: Array[String] = null
Luigi's solution, instead
does the right thing:
res1: Array[Array[String]] = Array(Array(null, null), Array(null, null))

It's rather ugly, but you can update a multidimensional array with update
> val data = Array.ofDim[String](2,2)
> data(0).update(0, "foo")
> data
data: Array[Array[String]] = Array(Array(foo, null), Array(null, null))
Not sure about the efficiency of this technique.

Luigi's answer is great, but I just wanted to point out another way of initialising an Array that is more idiomatic/functional – using tabulate. This takes a function that takes the array cell coordinates as input and produces the cell value:
scala> Array.tabulate[String](4, 4) _
res0: (Int, Int) => String => Array[Array[String]] =
scala> val data = Array.tabulate(4, 4) {case (x, y) => x * y }
data: Array[Array[Int]] = Array(Array(0, 0, 0, 0), Array(0, 1, 2, 3), Array(0, 2, 4, 6), Array(0, 3, 6, 9))

Cultural Landscape Report
Garfield Park is a valued, irreplaceable historic public park serving the Indianapolis community as both a city and neighborhood park. The park is a significant cultural landscape recognized for its history, its design influence, and its place in the Indianapolis parks and boulevards system. Heritage Landscapes was commissioned by the Friends of Garfield Park (FOGP) to develop a cultural landscape report investigating the history, chronology, existing conditions and use of the Garfield Park landscape and to recommend a preservation approach that respects its heritage while accommodating current and future directions. Garfield Park stands as a testimony of over a century of use, support and patronage by the neighborhood and the Indianapolis community. This Garfield Park Cultural Landscape Report honors that legacy while it seeks to insure the vibrancy and value of this important park into the future.
To preserve the future of the park FOGP championed the creation of the Garfield Park Cultural Landscape Preservation and Renewal Plan. Created in 2004 and 2005, The Cultural Landscape Plan was funded through grants of $25,000 from the Efroymson Fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, $5,000 from Marion County Historic Preservation Fund and $22,500 each from Friends of Garfield Park and Indy Parks.
This project, which celebrates the concepts and designs of George Kessler, was guided to completion by Patricia O'Donnell, ASLA, of Heritage Landscapes, which specializes in preservation planning and implementation for cultural landscapes. The plan will serve as a guide to future development and programs at the park such as:
- Educational materials, such as those included in the Historic Garfield Park Tour
- Fundraising campaigns to preserve and maintain the Bean Creek Bridge and the 100 year old Fountains
- Efforts leading to the designation on the National Registry of Historic Places
- Landscape renovations and restoration, including tree plantings, streets, pathways and other elements

Scheduling Custom Django Management Commands
Last updated October 18, 2021
Create a custom management command
Create the Python file
Custom Django management commands are nested within a Django project's apps. For this tutorial, if the Django project contains more than one app, decide which app the custom management command will most closely relate to, and use that app to follow the steps below.
A Django project contains one or more apps. In this tutorial, you'll be working within one of the apps and not the overall Django project.
The Python file that contains the code for the custom command is nested inside several directories:
- At the root level of the Django app, create a directory called
commandscreate a file named something similar to
print_book_titles.py. Stylistically, the name you choose for this file should reference the outcome of the task when it runs.
At this stage, the app's file tree will look similar to this:
Django automatically maps the name of the command file to the command that is run in the CLI (
python manage.py print_book_titles)
Code the command's logic
The following code snippet is for a short custom management command. View the Django documentation on Writing custom django-admin commands for guidance on more complex needs.
from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand, CommandError
from some_app.models import Book
help = 'Prints all book titles in the database'
books = Book.objects.all()
for book in books:
self.stdout.write(self.style.ERROR('Field "title" does not exist.'))
self.stdout.write(self.style.SUCCESS('Successfully printed all Book titles'))
return statement at the end of each logical flow of the
handle() function so Heroku Scheduler knows when it can shut down. This ensures you are only charged for dyno time that is needed to run the job.
Verify the command works as expected
Ensure the command works by running it in a one-off dyno:
- From the CLI, run
heroku run bash -a your-app-name
- Navigate to the directory containing
python manage.py
Setup Heroku Scheduler
Provision the Add-on
Schedule the job
Open the Heroku Scheduler tool by following the steps in Heroku Scheduler - Scheduling Jobs. When prompted, enter
python manage.py as the command to run.
manage.py file is not at the root level of the Heroku app's git repo, the command that is run within Heroku Scheduler will need to first navigate to the directory that contains the
manage.py file. The command would look something like
cd my-project && python manage.py .

A primary caregiver is a person responsible for the care of another person or child as defined by the law. In custody agreements or orders, the primary caregiver is the person the child lives with majority of the time.Continue Reading
The primary caregiver is the person who assumes responsibility for the health, safety and housing of another adult or child. For example, when an elderly person is incapacitated due to illness, a primary caregiver provides assistance with feeding, bathing and changing and may even handle finances when mental deficiencies exist. In some cases, the primary caregiver is also designated as power of attorney for the individual. When people reside in nursing homes or rehabilitation centers, the medical staff serve as the primary caregivers.
When illness strikes, primary caregivers often perform medical and therapeutic tasks for patients and operate as personal advocates and home-based care coordinators. In many cases, family members often serve as the primary caregiver offering both physical and moral support for ailing individuals.
In custody agreements, a parent labeled as the primary caregiver does not receive any extra authority or decision-making power than the other parent beyond day-to-day activities and decisions. However, the child or children live with the primary caregiver majority of the time and use the residence as a permanent address.Learn more about Career Aspirations

Send Monitoring Alerts To Microsoft Teams
When you have a large monitoring setup you need to know when something important is failing or is just offline. If you have setup Microsoft Teams you can send a message to a channel to let the support team repair the service or device with minimal down time.
I have set this up in Labtech to send alerts to the alerts channel. Labtech has the nice ability to inject data in a powershell script before it is run, but we will be demonstrating the script by running it directly in powershell.
First step is to create a webhook in the MS Teams channel you wish to use. At the time of writing you can only create a webhook from the web version of MS Teams, it will not work in the desktop client.
Open the connectors in the channel you want to use for your alerts.
Open the connectors for the channel
Find the "Incoming Webhook" and add it.
Add the Incoming Webhook
Next we need to name the connector and assign an avatar, these settings will change how the sender of the message appears in the channel. I recommend setting the name to the service that will send the messages, and the image to the systems icon or something that is attention grabbing.
Set the name and image the webhook will use when posting.
Once done you will get a url, save a copy of the URL as it is important to the next step.
Copy the Webhook URL for your connector
The next step is to copy the following script, you can also download it from here
# Powershell MS Teams alert template
# This is a template to demonstrate the ability to send notices to
# Microsoft Teams from PowerShell
# Parse the command variables
param (
 [string]$message = "This is a test of the alert system",
 [string]$title = "Test Message",
 [string]$status = "Cleared",
 [string]$monitor = "Testing - monitor",
 [string]$location = "Downtown",
 [string]$system = "labsys01"
# Edit the URI with the webhook url that was provided
$uri = '';
# Build the message Body
$body = ConvertTo-Json -Depth 4 @{
 title = $title
 text =''
 sections = @(
 activityText = $message
 facts = @(
 name = 'Status'
 value = $status
 name = 'System Name'
 value = $system
 name = 'Monitor'
 value = $monitor
 name = 'Location'
 value = $location
_TAG_ the message to MS Teams
Invoke-RestMethod -uri $uri -Method Post -body $body -ContentType 'application/json';
Write-Output "INFO - Message has been sent.";
You will need to edit the $uri line to have the URL that was provided in the Webhook creation step.
$uri = '';
Once done you can execute the script to see the default alert message. To send your own values to the script you can pass variables when run like the following example.
send-msteams-alert.ps1 -message "System is offline" -title "Offline" -status "Critical" -monitor "Offine Check" -location "Downtown" -system "testLab01"
If everything was done correctly you should have a nice message posted to Microsoft Teams like the following.

Resolutions Without Dissent
THE POWER OF ONE
The Queensland strata legislation, like other States' legislation, includes varying motion types which necessitate different levels of voting support in order to become resolutions. Each State has unique categories of motions and different threshold voting requirements for such motions to be approved. Whilst there is some overlap, a special resolution in one jurisdiction may have a different meaning in another (at least in terms of the way votes are calculated).
In Queensland, the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 prescribes the following resolution types (for general meetings):
- Ordinary resolution
- Majority resolution
- Special resolution
- Resolution without dissent
The most common resolution type is an ordinary resolution. Such a resolution is calculated quite simply in terms of a majority of those voting. The motion passes if there are more votes in favour than against. The qualifying aspect to this is if somebody (anybody entitled to vote) requests a 'poll'. In such circumstances, the motion is passed if the total contribution lot entitlements in favour of the motion are more than the total contribution lot entitlements against the motion. An ordinary resolution is the only resolution type where a poll can be requested.
One infrequently used resolution type is a majority resolution. Because they are rarely required, there seems to be a tendency to assume (incorrectly) that a majority resolution is the same as an ordinary resolution – after all, it talks about a 'majority' doesn't it? However, they are quite different things. A majority resolution is calculated based on the total number of lots in the scheme. The resolution carries only if the votes in favour of the motion are more than half of the lots entitled to vote on the motion. Given the general apathy and low voting turnout at general meetings, obtaining the required support for a majority resolution can be quite difficult.
Another misconception that owners and others in the strata sector frequently seem to have is the voting requirements for a special resolution. There appears to be a common assumption that such a resolution requires a simple 75% majority. Whilst perhaps that might be useful as a 'rule of thumb', the counting of votes for a special resolution is quite different. The test is a three-tier one, and requires all of the following requirements to be satisfied:
- At least two-thirds of the votes cast are in favour of the motion.
- The votes counted against the motion are not more than 25% of the number of lots in the scheme.
- The contribution lot entitlements for lots voting against the motion are not more than 25% of the total contribution lot entitlements for the scheme.
That brings us to the final resolution type and the purpose of my commentary in this newsletter – the resolution without dissent. Such a resolution quite simply requires that no vote is cast against the motion. What's more, this resolution type does not prohibit owners who owe a body corporate debt at the time of the meeting from voting on the motion. Accordingly, a single owner (financial or unfinancial) can ensure that such a motion does not carry – and this frequently occurs.
It holds true that there will be very serious decisions that a body corporate will need to make from time to time that should require strong majority support – even beyond the requirements of a majority or special resolution. However, the question arises as to whether a unanimous voting requirement is a step too far?
Of course, there will be those that point out that any failure of a resolution without dissent to pass can be the subject of challenge in the Commissioner's Office – the relevant test being whether it failed to pass 'because of opposition that in the circumstances is unreasonable' – a test for which we have High Court authority (Ainsworth v Albrecht HCA 40).
However, that still means that valuable time and resources are consumed in seeking to have an unreasonable vote overturned in the Commissioner's Office. Conversely, if one or two votes were insufficient to prevent the passing of the motion, it would be up to those 'aggrieved' owners to take the initiative and commence dispute resolution proceedings to challenge the passing of the motion. Without good cause and reasons for their dissent, most owners will probably not take up this option – particularly as frivolous or vexatious applications can be dismissed with costs.
That brings us to another question about whether the current statutory maximum of $2,000.00 is sufficient to discourage the lodging of frivolous or vexatious applications. Certainly not in my opinion. However, that is a debate for a different day – and a different newsletter!

SYMBOLISM OF THE GRAIN-EAR IN VIACHESLAV IVANOV'S WORKS
Languages of publication
This paper suggests a symbolic and contextual symbol of grain, present in the works of Viacheslav Ivanov. The subject of the authoress analysis and its starting point is constituted by his three poems:- the first one stating with the words 'Yazykov pravdu, khristtiane, / My chtim (...)', from the poetic cycle entitled 'Rimskii dnevnik 1944 goda', the two remaining ones are: 'Sozrel na nive kolos (...)' and 'Tikhaya zhatva' (4th volume of 'Sobranie sochinenii'). On the basis of these works she traced the functioning of this symbol in Ivanov's poetic output, as well as in his theoretical and philosophical reflections. She also revealed the most important aspects of the motif of grain, namely: grain as a symbol of resurrection and life after death (connection with the ancient mystery cults) and grain in the eschatological meaning, understood as toll - the fruit of sowing.

Slovak Jewish Heritage Route
The Route is a network linking the most important synagogue buildings in Slovakia. Some are active houses of worship, while others serve today as cultural venues. Several historic Jewish cemeteries are also included. Click on the map to learn more about Route sites in various regions in Slovakia.
THE GATEWAY TO JEWISH HERITAGE IN SLOVAKIA
Our online resources provide information about major Jewish sites around the country. The material covers a range of topics and is oriented to scholars as well to the general public.
The MONUMENTS DATABASE features details on hundreds of Jewish heritage sites we have documented throughout Slovakia. We began our work in 2001 as Synagoga Slovaca, a project aimed at documenting the scores of synagogues, many of them in ruinous condition, that still stand in all corners of the country. We are gradually adding cemeteries, cemetery chapels, mikvaot (ritual baths), school buildings, other Jewish communal buildings and Holocaust memorials. Material in the database includes historical and architectural information as well as photographs.
The SLOVAK JEWISH HERITAGE ROUTE promotes the country's most important Jewish heritage sites and integrates them into national and local cultural, educational and tourism contexts. The Route is associated with the European Routes of Jewish Heritage, which has been declared a Major Cultural Route of the Council of Europe. We organize SLOVAK JEWISH HERITAGE TOURS in cooperation with a leading touroperator Enjoy Slovakia DMC.
These projects and other activities of our Center are part of a long-term vision that includes the establishment of a sustainable and multi-faceted SLOVAK JEWISH HERITAGE PROGRAM. We strongly believe that our work can foster a desire - and a commitment - to seek sustainable frameworks for the maintenance and restoration of these important yet all-too-often neglected heritage sites. Only through such strategies can we contribute to the preservation of Slovak Jewish monuments as part of Slovakia's overall multicultural heritage.


How to Tell the Difference Between a Male and Female Snake?
How in the world do you tell whether a snake is male or female? It is so difficult, right? Well, I did some research on the topic and have written it down to share with you.
Male snakes can most easily be differentiated from females because they have thicker tails. If this does not clearly show the difference, a probe can be inserted in the slit in front of the tail to feel for a hemipenes.
Trying to tell by just looking for hemipenes is actually harder than it sounds. So, what are the best ways to tell the difference between boy snakes and girl snakes?
Tail Characteristics as a Way to Sex Snakes
Male and female snakes have very different shaped tails. Who knew? The first thing you need to know is, what qualifies as the snake's tail? In every snake there is a slit along the underbelly, toward the end of the snake, this slit is called a cloaca.
The length of the snake from the cloaca to the tip of the back end of the snake is its tail. Because females lack hemipenes, their tails are skinnier and fade evenly to the point. Male snakes, on the other hand, have thicker tails that stay thick until they quickly come to a point at the very end of their tails.
This is a good way to tell whether or not a snake is male or female when you have two snakes side by side, but trying to figure this out with only one snake can be rather difficult, so they have invented a few other ways to determine the sex of your snake.
Probing to Determine the Gender of a Snake
The first way and the best way to find the sex of your snake is to use a technique that is called probing. Probing is a process that involves sticking an instrument into your snakes' cloaca to determine if there are hemipenes or not.
To succeed in this technique it is important to, first and foremost, make sure you have the right tools. Manufactures make snake probes that can be bought in pet stores or online at places like Amazon.
It is important that when you go to probe a snake you make sure you have the correct sized prob, and that you have a rounded tip on your probe. Make sure that before probing your snake, you have figured out which size of prob to use.
For smaller snakes, use thinner rods and for larger snakes make sure to use larger rods. It is best to buy snake probing rods because you need to make sure they are rounded on the end or have a ball tip in order to ensure the safety of your snake.
When Probing a snake you must always remember these 5 important facts:
 1. Make sure to always have someone assisting you to hold your snake.
 2. Make sure that your snake is awake.
 3. Make sure you have done your homework and have the right sized probe.
 4. Make sure to always be sanitary.
 5. Make sure you know what you are doing before inserting the probe.
Once you have these 5 steps down, probing can actually be quite easy. First, make sure that your snake's belly is facing you. Then make sure your assistant has a good hold on them. Next, you will want to lubricate your sexing probe.
Then, locate the cloaca and slowly insert the probe. You will want to do this, slowly and gently, spinning the probe so that it is slowly moving forward. On a female snake, the probe will be stopped against a harder surface approximately 3 scales in.
On a male snake, the probe will find one of the two hemipenes and will slide into a softer stop. On a male snake, the probe should go into the snake to about 9 scales. Once you have figured out if it is male or female, slowly remove the probe.
Once again it is so imperative that you use the right sized probe in order to make sure you do not hurt your snake. Here and here I listed a few links to some nice snake probs that have really good reviews.
Popping Hemipenes (Caution!)
There is another way to find the gender of your snake although it is much more difficult and can actually be harmful to your snake if done wrong.
Popping the hemipenes at first sounds like we are going to pop a balloon or something, but to pop the hemipenes really is pushing the hemipenes out of the snake's body. This reverting of the hemipenes only temporarily makes the hemipenes visible on the outside of the snake.
In order to pop the hemipenes, you need to find the vent or cloaca of the snake and then apply slight pressure, using a finger, below the cloaca where the hemipenes would come out. Make sure that the pressure is gentle but also firm. If this is done correctly, a hemipenis should pop out.
This is not the preferred way of determining the sex of a snake for a few reasons though:
 - The first reason is that it can be harmful to the snake
 - The second reason is that it is very hard to do right
 - The third reason is that if you don't see a hemipenes pop out you can never be certain if it is because the snake is actually female or if it is because the process was done wrong and the snake really is a male.
For these reasons it is suggested that you stick to probing your snakes to find their genders.
Pros and Cons for Male Snakes
A lot of people wonder if there is even a difference in owning female snakes compared to male snakes, and vice versa.
The answer is that in general there isn't a huge difference, but there are some pretty interesting details that make some people prefer owning male snakes or female snakes.
Pros for Male SnakesCons for Male Snakes
*If you want a smaller snake, male snakes (in general) are smaller than females.
*Normally are cheaper to purchase than females.
*Only really need one when trying to breed snakes.
*Male snakes are not as large and so they can be less easy to handle for snakes that are already smaller.
*Male snakes cannot have babies and as such are not as valuable.
Pros and Cons for Female Snakes
As was stated in the previous section, unless you are a breeder there are very few reasons that one should buy a male snake over a female snake, but as stated before there are a few, so here is a list of the pros and cons about getting a female snake.
Pros for Female SnakesCons for Female Snakes
*They are more valuable because they can have babies.
*They tend to be bigger which can look nicer and be easier to handle.
*Female snakes tend to be more expensive because it is more beneficial to own a lot of female snakes when breeding.
*Female snakes can get to be a bit aggressive when protecting their young.
*Because female snakes tend to be larger, you may need to use a larger terrarium to house them.
How do Snakes Mate in the Wild?
Snakes are like all other reptiles and they have a need to breed. The breeding process starts with the female though. When a female snake has matured enough to mate and is ready to start the mating process she actually starts to release pheromones that come from the skin glands in her back.
As she is moving about during her day she will begin to leave an odor trail as she pushes off of resistance points in the ground. This is where the male comes in. A male that is mature enough to mate and crosses the path of this pheromone trail will begin to follow the trail until he has found the female.
Once he has spotted the female he will begin to court her. He does this by knocking his chin into the back of her head until she is ready. Once she is ready to mate, the male snake will wrap the bottom of his tail around hers so that their vents or cloaca are touching.
At this point, the male will insert his hemipenes' or penises into the female and will release his sperm. Although sex for snakes generally takes about an hour, it can actually last all day.
Female snakes reproduce about twice a year but depending on the climate this may differ. Snakes in colder regions typically only reproduce in the spring or summer whereas some snakes in tropical regions can reproduce any time of year. The weather and the amount of food the snake is getting all influence whether or not a snake will reproduce.
There are three ways in which a female snake can produce offspring. The most common way is for the female snake to lay eggs. Most snakes do not sit and watch their eggs like chickens and other animals, most snakes will leave their eggs once they are laid.
Like always though, there are a few exceptions to that rule. The second way that snakes produce their offspring is in live births. Not a lot of snake breeds do this but a few that do are certain types of Vipers and Boas.
The third way that snakes produce their offspring is actually a combination of the two. They have eggs but hold them internally until they hatch and then have a live birth. Rattlesnakes experience this form of pregnancy and birth.
How do Male and Female Snakes Reproduce in Captivity?
Although the same basic things must happen in order for snakes to breed in the wild and in captivity, it is quite a different process getting snakes to breed outside of their natural habitat. The breeding of snakes has become quite successful, but because of its complexities, it did not always start out that way.
The first thing that must be done in order to help your snakes

Administering a defined contribution plan
A defined contribution plan is generally administered by a pension committee, which is the first responder for the plan and must ensure that the plan is in conformity with the relevant laws.
The pension committee is responsible for the administration of the plan and the management of the pension fund. Furthermore, it has an important role to plan in providing information to plan members. It must act with prudence, diligence and competence, like any reasonable person.
Sometimes the administrator is not a pension committee
A plan with less than 26 members and beneficiaries can be administered by the employer. In that case, the employer has the same obligations and responsibilities as a pension committee.
Who can provide information about a plan?
Generally, the documentation given to plan members indicates the name and contact details of a contact person. Those details can also be obtained from the employer our by using the Régie's online consultation service for supervised pension plans.
How can someone become a pension committee member?
Any person who wants to be a committee member, whether or not he or she is a plan member, can express an interest in becoming a member to the persons who have the power to designate committee members (for example, the employer or the union). An interested person can also run as a candidate for election by the plan members and beneficiaries at the plan's annual meeting.

Social Loafing
Definition: Social Loafing is in psychology and sociology regarded as the tendency of individuals to reduce efforts when working on a collective task (i.e., when outputs are pooled with those of other group members) as compared to when the individual works alone. It happens because all members of the group are combining their efforts to reach a common goal. The group members tend to contribute less than what they would if they had to do a task alone.
The phenomenon is regarded as one of the main reasons groups are often less productive than the combined performance of their members working as individuals.

Encyclopedia of Iranian butterflies released
18 Aug 2012 16:09
Alireza Naderi, researcher and butterfly specialist, has completed a field guide on Iranian butterflies which, as he claimed, is the result of over 400 trips in and outside of Iran.
IBNA: In an interview with IBNA, Naderi said the book is a field guide on butterflies in Iran.
As he said, the term "field guide" is used to refer to guidebooks which can be easily used in workplaces; unlike Atlases, field guides are not very heavy and can be taken to the fields where studies are being held.
He asserted that the book is the first work of its kind in Iran to be published on butterflies and follows all international standards.
Butterflies' ecology and behaviors, their natural habitats and preserving them are some of the topics discussed in the book.
Elsewhere in his interview, Naderi said as many as 200 kinds of butterflies are covered in the volume while over 406 (and increasing) types have so far been identified in Iran.
A total of 1,000 copies of the book are published by Iranology Publications. Each copy is arranged in 272 pages.
