SPFileCollection class
Represents a collection of SPFile objects.
Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
 _
 _
PublicClassSPFileCollection _
Use the Files property of either the SPWeb or SPFolder class to return the collection of files for the site or folder. To create a new file, use one of the Add methods of SPFileCollection.
Use an indexer to return a single file from the collection. For example, assuming the collection is assigned to a variable named collFiles, use collFiles[index] in C#, or collFiles(index) in Visual Basic, where index is either the index number of the file in the collection or the display name of the file.
The following code example checks every file in the top-level folder of a specified document library for the last time that it was modified and, if the time is less than a certain value, copies the file to another document library.
Dim SiteCollection As New SPSite("http://MySiteCollection")
 Dim srcFolder As SPFolder = siteCollection.AllWebs("SourceWebSite").GetFolder("SourceDocLib")
 Dim destFiles As SPFileCollection = siteCollection.AllWebs("DestWebSite").GetFolder("DestDocLib").Files
 Dim srcFile As SPFile
 For Each srcFile In srcFolder.Files
 If srcFile.TimeLastModified < Convert.ToDateTime("12/5/2002 12:00:00 AM") Then
 Dim destURL As String = destFiles.Folder.Url + "/" + srcFile.Name
 Dim binFile As Byte() = srcFile.OpenBinary()
 destFiles.Add(destURL, binFile, True)
 End If
 Next srcFile
End Try

The COVID-19 Task Force had a meeting on Thursday, October 28th. Here are the meeting notes from the Augsburg Staff Union representative.
Minnesota Department of Health Updates:
- MDH suggested keeping the masking requirements indoors through the end of November.
- During the MDH meeting, there was a discussion of what not to use antibody testing for.
- MDH has an updated K-12 decision tree which can also be used in the higher education setting.
- MDH is preparing training for those sharing reassuring and accurate vaccine information with the community.
- We are continuing to see a low number of cases per week– both vaccinated and unvaccinated.
- Vaccination numbers (students and faculty/staff) continue incremental improvement.
- Regional transmission is still very active.
- Testing Access Update:
- A summary of testing opportunities will be discussed with Augsburg Day Student Government regarding how to use and share the information.
- Communication Update:
- COVID Policy hold communication has been sent to students, with information to faculty and staff who may get questions from students.
- Federal approval of booster vaccinations added to Outbreak Planning site.
We set up a Google Form so Augsburg Staff Union members could state their questions or concerns to be addressed at the meeting. The following question was requested in advance of the meeting:
- Q: When an Augsburg staff, student, or faculty member gets a booster to their COVID-19 vaccine, do they need to or are they encouraged to report that info to Augsburg? If so, how?
- A: Dawn Miller addressed this briefly during the meeting. HR is waiting for more detailed guidance from OSHA about federal requirements. Employees are welcome to upload their booster information on the Human Resources page, but this is not a requirement at this time. As more information is clarified, this question will be provided a fuller answer at a future meeting.
Please note: Urgent questions related to COVID-19 should not be submitted via the Google Form, those questions should continue to be sent to _EMAIL_, calling _PHONE_, and/or by using the Augsburg self-reporting form.
The interim staff union representative will continue to send weekly updates based on information gathered in the COVID Task Force meetings and questions asked in the google form.

Check Balance selects nested expressions (for example, parenthesized) outward from the insertion point.
To select a nested expression, select anywhere within the expression by clicking. Choose Check Balance, and click to expand the selection out to the next set of enclosed parentheses, brackets, or braces.
Each time you choose Check Balance, Mathematica expands the selection in both directions until it finds pairs of matching parentheses, brackets, or braces. Repeating the command expands the selection one level at a time.
You can use the Check Balance command to check the structure of mathematical expressions. For example, if you have unbalanced parentheses or parentheses incorrectly balanced with brackets or braces, Mathematica beeps. Choose Help ► Why the Beep? to identify the mistake. If you position the insertion point inside a bracketed expression and choose Check Balance, Mathematica should select the whole expression. If not, you have a missing bracket somewhere.
Mathematica cannot balance a selection that spans more than one cell.

Scale Kubernetes Pods
Updated 1 day ago by Michael Cretzman
When you deploy a Kubernetes workload using Harness, you set the number of pods you want in your manifests and in the deployment steps.
With the Scale step, you can scale this number of running pods up or down, by count or percentage.
In this topic:
Before You Begin
Step 1: Add Scale Step
In your Harness Workflow, click Add Step, and select Scale. The Scale settings appear.
Name the step and then provide the scaling strategy, described below.
Step 2: Pick Count or Percentage
The Scale step updates the number of instances running, either by count or percentage.
In Instance Unit Type, select COUNT or PERCENTAGE.
 - COUNT — The number is simply the number of pods.
 - PERCENTAGE — A percentage of the pods defined in your Harness Service Manifests files or a previous Workflow step.
Step 3: Set the Number of Pods
Enter the number of pods to scale up or down compared to the number of instances specified before the Scale step.
The number may come from the Harness Service manifest or a previous Workflow step, whichever set the number of pods right before the Scale step.
For example, in you have replicas: 4 in a manifest in your Service, and you enter 50 PERCENT in Instances, then 2 pods are deployed in this step.
If you have an odd number of instances, such as 3 instances, and then enter 50% in Scale, the number of instances is scaled down to 2.
Step 4: Specify Resources to Scale
Enter the Harness built-in variable ${k8s.canaryWorkload} or the name of the resource in the format [namespace/]Kind/Name, with namespace optional. For example:
You can scale Deployment, DaemonSet, or StatefulSet.
You can only enter one resource in Workload. To scale another resource, add another Scale step.
Here is what a completed step looks like:
Option: Delegate Selector
If your Workflow Infrastructure Definition's Cloud Provider uses a Delegate Selector (supported in Kubernetes Cluster and AWS Cloud Providers), then the Workflow uses the selected Delegate for all of its steps.
In these cases, you shouldn't add a Delegate Selector to any step in the Workflow. The Workflow is already using a Selector via its Infrastructure Definition's Cloud Provider.
If your Workflow Infrastructure Definition's Cloud Provider isn't using a Delegate Selector, and you want this Workflow step to use a specific Delegate, do the following:
In Delegate Selector, select the Selector for the Delegate(s) you want to use. You add Selectors to Delegates to make sure that they're used to execute the command. For more information, see Select Delegates with Selectors.
Harness will use Delegates matching the Selectors you add.
If you use one Selector, Harness will use any Delegate that has that Selector.
If you select two Selectors, a Delegate must have both Selectors to be selected. That Delegate might also have other Selectors, but it must have the two you selected.
You can use expressions for Harness built-in variables or Account Default variables in Delegate Selectors. When the variable expression is resolved at deployment runtime, it must match an existing Delegate Selector.
For example, if you have a Delegate Selector prod and the Workflow is using an Environment also named prod, the Delegate Selector can be ${}. This is very useful when you match Delegate Selectors to Application component names such as Environments, Services, etc. It's also a way to template the Delegate Selector setting.
Option: Skip Steady State Check
If you select this, Harness will not check to see if the workload has reached steady state.
 - You can scale down to 0 to remove all instances.

Use of a Scribe
Use of a Scribe
May 23, 2019
We are hiring a scribe for the doctor because it will help improve his documentation. Is there anything we need to know about how to document this?
Yes, absolutely. This situation should be clearly delineated so a third party reviewer can identify the provider who performed the service, and the record should be signed by both parties (the scribe and physician).
Remember, a scribe does not ask the patient any questions, nor does a scribe do an examination of the patient. A scribe merely records the information obtained by a provider. Bottom line is that a nurse practitioner or physician assistant generally does not act as a scribe.
Example of statements:
I, (scribe name), am serving as a scribe to document services personally performed by (physician name), based on my observation and the provider's statements to me.
I, (physician name), attest that (scribe name) is acting in a scribe capacity, has observed my performance of the services, and has documented them in accordance with my direction.

This is a Guide for creating icon themes for Inkscape 1.0+
What are multicolor icons?
From Inkscape 1.0 on, Inkscape icon sets can make use of 3 user-customizable highlight colors, plus a user definable base color (colors can be mixed and blended). A user can select the colors in Edit > Preferences > Interface > Theme: Display icons.
The stock multicolor icon theme was designed by Adam Belis. Most of its icons are based upon those contained in the hicolor symbolic icon theme.
Since Inkscape's switch to Gtk3, every icon is saved in a separate file. There are about 450 different icons used in Inkscape. When you're creating your own icon theme, you don't need to make a new one for each of those. Instead, you can base your changes on an existing icon theme (hicolor or Multicolor).
How does it work?
Gtk supports up to 4 classes of colors:.success,.warning and.error. Normally,.error is set to red,.warning is orange and.success is green. The default colors can be set in a CSS file in the theme's folder. Inside this file also there is.base color defined is foreground color and the background is transparent or widget background-color.
How to build a new set of icons: Practical Guide
Creating a new icon theme and setting its default colors
 1. Find the Inkscape data folder at Edit > Preferences > System: Inkscape data.
 2. Find you Inkscape user icon folder at Edit > Preferences > System: User icons.
 3. Open the folder icons in the Inkscape data folder.
 4. Copy the multicolor icon folder from there into your Inkscape user icon folder.
 5. Rename the new folder to your new name (for example, call it Super Cool Icons).
 6. Open the file index.theme in your new icon folder with a text editor (e.g. Notepad), and adjust the name and comment line there, too. Save the file.
 7. To set up your default colors:
 1. Open the file highlights.css in your new Super Cool Icons folder with your favorite text editor be careful only touch the color definition and dont add extra spaces, new lines or reindent...
 2. Adjust the hex color codes of the classes to your liking, e.g. if you want your.success class to be green, you will change it to #009909.
 3. You can copy hex colors from Inscape's Fill and Stroke dialog or use an online color chooser, e.g. _URL_.
 4. The.dark classes can be used to adjust your color scheme to dark themes.
 5. Save and close the highlights.css file.
 8. You can also come back and tweak the colors later, if you like.
Editing or creating your first icon
Now when you are happy with your colors, we can jump into icon editing:
 1. Think about how you want to use the three available colors for your theme, e.g. maybe you want to sort icons by functionality, placement, or any other attribute.
 2. Open any icon file in the folder symbolic/actions inside your Super Cool Icons folder with Inkscape 1.0.
 3. Open the dialog Object > Selectors and CSS. disabled in 1.0 but still accessible via shortcut Shift+Ctrl+Q
 4. Also open Edit > Preferences > Interface > Theme and select the icon theme you have just created.
 5. Delete the current icon.
 6. Design your own icon on the same layer.
 7. To assign a color to a fill:
 1. Select the path.
 2. In the Selectors and CSS dialog, you will see 3 classes (.success,.warning,.error) (you may need to expand the dialog, or switch to vertical mode to be able to see them).
 3. Click on the + button next to the desired class, e.g. if you want the fill to be green (.success), you will click on + button next to.success.
 4. If you changed your mind and want a different class, you can click on the triangle behind the class name to expand the list of objects that use the class, and remove the class from the path by clicking on the x button.
 5. You need to add each path a class.success,.warning,.error trought XML Inspector
 8. To preview your new icon, save the icon file (Ctrl+S), and switch to a different theme, and then switch back to your new theme in the preferences to force a reload of the icon theme, or just toggle the 'dark theme' option twice.
 9. Now you can see how the icon looks when it is used in the Inkscape interface.
 10. Repeat the process 450 more times to finish your very own Super Cool Icons.
 11. Congratulation you did it! Dont forget to share your Super Cool Icons theme with the community on the Inkscape website.
Feature support
 - 3 solid fill colors (set by classes) + 1 base color
 - arbitrary opacity values (not alpha, but object opacity)
 - LPEs (live path effects)
 - clip masks
 - filters (not recommended, not change on dark/bright changes, resolution-dependent)
 - embedded bitmaps (not recommended, not change on dark/bright changes, resolution-dependent)
 - strokes with any color different from the theme base color
 - Workaround: add the 'Join type' LPE (it nondestructively converts strokes to paths)
 - gradients
 - Workaround: you can simulate linear gradients by creating multiple rectangles in a row and changing their opacity (0,10,20,30...), and then clipping this group with the shape you want to have a linear gradient.
you can simulate a radial gradient by adding circles increasing in size and decreasing in opacity. You can also simulate gradients by using blur on paths.
 - mesh gradients
 - blend modes
 - different colors than those set by.success,.warning and.error.
 - Workaround: you can create more than 4 colors by layering objects with lowered opacity. Create a duplicate of the path, then change the new path's opacity and select one of the color classes. E.g. use one object with the class.success at 30% opacity, placed on top of another object with an unset fill for a different shade of the.success color.
Best practices
 - Keep it all in one layer and do not change the name of the layer.
 - Keep in mind that the icons are going to be very small (16x16px), so use a grid for drawing to ensure crisp rendering. It seems like you need to use a 24x24 grid for icons inside SOME panels (alignment and distribution).
 - Add a color class to all paths, or unset the fill. If no class is set, the default class.base will be used.
 - Try to keep the SVG file small and simple so it does not take a long time to render your icons (this can impact start up time).
 - Try to use discrete opacity values: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100% to keep the SVG files small.
 - Use a low precision for your file's coordinates (maximally 0.xx). This includes node poritions, object transformations etc.).


Southdown's June Star Student Award recipients are an exceptional group of boys and girls.
Southdown Closes Year by Honoring its Stars
June 30, 2021
As the school year drew to a close, Southdown Primary School faculty and staff members wanted to present a final round of Star Student Awards before everyone headed for the exits and summer vacation.
The last Southdown Splash Assembly, which once again was held in a virtual format, recognized some really outstanding youngsters. Principal Scott Oshrin was excited to announce the names of the award recipients. A short assembly video was piped into classrooms and available to those who were participating in a distance learning program.
The honorees include:
Universal Pre-Kindergarten: Autumn Stancil-Moore, Brianna Uzho; Kindergarten: Tayla Quin, Anthius Vanbrakle, Ashley Hernandez Velasquez, Alexander Zavala Nunez, Jake Bradshaw, Angel Rodriguez Rodriguez, Bella Coppinger, Jay Fuentez; First Grade: Justin Banegas Galdamez, Kaileen Silva, Jadyn Adam, Harrison Weston, Addison King, Nancy Yanes Ulloa, Valerie Morales Campos, Ashley Flores Canales, Katherine Sorto Lopez, Genesis Velasquez Aguilar; Second Grade: Kimberly Gonzalez, Michael "Mikey" Spagnoletti, Amora Ingram, Andy Velasquez Arevalo, Mileidy DePaz Cruz, Eddyll Jaco Oliva, Theodore Fischer, Evangeline Pearce; Third Grade: Ashley Avalos Cedillos, Stephen Pagan, William Duenas, Luis Ponce Reyes, Hazzell Perez Argueta, Jeremy Godoy Calderon
Two Southdown students were selected from every class in the building for formal recognition at the "splash" assembly. The school considers these youngsters to be its stars of the month. Teacher Theresa Duffy was June's faculty award recipient in recognition of everything she does around the building.
Mr. Oshrin announced the names of each award winner. The virtual assembly was held during the regular school day so that students in school and at home could view the proceedings simultaneously. Click on this link to view the short film:
Every Splash Assembly has a special focus that highlights an important educational component. During last week's program teacher Pamela Schwarting discussed being safe and having fun this summer. Everything from wearing sun block to reading good books was covered during the short session.
The phrase Splash Assembly is a takeoff on the school's mascot, which is a dolphin, an aquatic mammal that's known for flipping around in the water and splashing anyone nearby. Think 1960's television show Flipper.


Question by NaiveAngelAz (15)
Are moth balls harmful to cats?
Answer by BrendaG (6111)
Mothballs are toxic and can cause health problems, but they work in keeping cats from using gardens and plants for litter boxes. Tea leaves sprinkled around gardens and plants is a safe alternative. Cats do not like lavender(nor do deer) or geraniums and keeping those plants would be beneficial. Rue and pennyroyal are two other plants they abhore.
Answer by SandyG (807)
Absolutely. Package has warnings. If you need to use them, place them inside two layers of socks and secure inside clostet so the cat cannot walk off with the sock.
Answer by PMD (41)
Moth balls are very harmful to cats as they contain an offending chemical called naphthalene which is toxic to them.
Answer by Taylor (863)
If your cat ate 1 or 2 he/she should be fine however, if you cat ate a bunch of them you should take him/her to the vet right away. Moth Bolls do contain harmful chemicals but they usually only have a few MG of the active ingredient so it would take a few to cause harm.
Answer by Anonymous
Cats don't eat anything that is not appealing to them. Very unlike dogs, that will eat anything. With their keen sense of smell, a cat would back away from moth balls.

Hash Match
SQL Server 2000
Hash Match
The Hash Match physical operator builds a hash table by computing a hash value for each row from its build input. A HASH:() predicate with a list of columns used to create a hash value appears in the Argument column. Then, for each probe row (as applicable), it computes a hash value (using the same hash function) and looks in the hash table for matches. If a residual predicate is present (identified by RESIDUAL:() in the Argument column), that predicate must also be satisfied for rows to be considered a match. Behavior is slightly different based on the logical operation being performed:
 - For any joins, use the first (top) input to build the hash table and the second (bottom) input to probe the hash table. Output matches (or nonmatches) as dictated by the join type. If multiple joins use the same join column, these operations are grouped into a hash team.
 - For the distinct or aggregate operators, use the input to build the hash table (removing duplicates and computing any aggregate expressions). When the hash table is built, scan the table and output all entries.
 - For the union operator, use the first input to build the hash table (removing duplicates). Use the second input (which must have no duplicates) to probe the hash table, returning all rows that have no matches, then scan the hash table and return all entries.

Display hidden fields from grid in edit form as texts
There are situation where we need to display the fields in edit form as texts, without a need to update it – just for information. In this article I will explain how to achieve this.
In Guriddo jqGrid there is no build-in way to display certain fields in forms as text for information purposes. Fortunately we have a custom functions with which we can do this.
In this example we will use custom_element and custom_value in editoptions object. The another requirement is that the field should be hidden in grid, but displayed into the form. Below are the settings in colModel which will do this:
colModel: [
 label: 'Freigh',
 name: 'Freight',
 width: 150,
 hidden : true,
 editable: true,
 edittype: "custom",
 editoptions: {
 custom_value: getFreightElementValue,
 custom_element: createFreightTextElement
 editrules : { edithidden : true }
In order not to display the field in grid, but in edit form we need to set the hidden option to true and edithidden option to true in editrules object
Now the field should be defined as editable and tell that a custom edit will be applied. This is done with editable: true and edittype: "custom" options in colModel. When a custom edit type is used we need to define two functions in editoptions – custom_element, which is responsible for the creation of our element and custom_value which is responsible for the manipulation of the value for that element. Bello are our two functions.
function createFreightTextElement(value, editOptions) {
 return $(""+value+"");
function getFreightElementValue(elem, oper, value) {
 if (oper === "set") {
 if (oper === "get") {
 return $(elem).text();
As can be seen the function which creates the element createFreightTextElement create a simple span element and append the value in this element. The function getFreightElementValue set the value in form when we walk through the records with navigator buttons (oper = set) and return the value when we push the Submit button form (oper= get). In case if there is a no need to submit this value to the server a serrializeEditData event should be defined in order to remove this Element. Below is the code that do this.
 { edit: true, add: false, del: false, search: false, refresh: true, view: false, align: "left" },
 // edit form options
 closeAfterEdit: true,
 delete data['Freight'];
 return data;
That is all. The example can be seen in our demo page here

A cross country race is usually 5K (3.1 miles) for high school students and 3K (1.86 miles) for middle school students. The cross country season typically starts in September and ends in November. During a race, individuals and/or teams compete against one another to earn the fewest points.
|1. Event Logistics||6. Awards|
|2. Location and Course||7. Water|
|3. Organizing Heats||8. Wrap-Up|
|4. Timing||9. Additional Information / Ideas|
- The Event Planning Guide will help you consider the important elements in staging your athletic event.
- The Planning Timeline will help you carefully schedule your event preparations.
- The cross country Staffing and Supplies Checklist will help you assign roles to your colleagues and ensure you have everything you need for a successful event.
- The standard distance for a cross country race is 5K (3.1 miles) for high school students and 3K (1.86 miles) for middle school students, but the distance can be modified slightly to suit your students' needs.
- Make sure to measure the course accurately.
- Clearly identify the start and finish line(s) and mark the entire course for race day using cones or chalk.
- If participants will be out of sight for all or part of the race, plan on having plenty of marshals to guide runners and monitor the course.
- We suggest no more than 50 runners per heat.
- Decide how to organize heats in advance. You can divide participants by sex, class, age, height, skill, or simply by random assignment.
- Plan on a way to identify and separate heats. One option is to have separate areas with signs where each group can congregate. You can then walk each group to the start when it is their turn to run. Another possibility is to distribute colored or numbered stickers or wristbands to identify each heat, which you can then check as runners line up to run.
- Gather each heat 15 minutes before its start time so you can make sure all of the right participants are present for their heat.
- If you have time, you can start each heat so it finishes before the next one begins. If you are tight on time, you can space each heat several minutes apart. In that case, be sure heats are far enough apart that runners in different heats will not overlap with one another.
- Designate a timer at the finish line. If a printing stopwatch is available, click it each time a runner crosses the finish line to record their place and time. Later, you can use this information to compile the race results. Alternatively, assign a timer and a recorder. The timer will call out times as runners finish for a colleague to write down.
- Enlist several adults at the finish area to keep runners organized. When runners cross the finish line, keep them in order in a narrow area called a chute until you can note their finish places, names, and teams. Expedite this process by giving runners a sticker before the race with their name and team that you can remove at the finish line and organize on sheets of paper. If you don't have stickers, use a stack of pre-numbered index cards, indicating finish places, and hand them to runners as they finish. Runners can then proceed to a finish table to fill out their names and teams on the card. You can later match the finishers' names and places to the times on the stopwatch.
- A standard cross country team has seven scoring runners. You can allow teams with more runners as well as individuals, but they will not be considered in the team scoring.
- The first five runners' scores are included in the team score. For example, if Team A's runners finish in 2nd, 7th, 8th, 12th, 18th, 30th, and 31st, Team A receives 47 points. The team with the lowest score wins.
- Each scoring runner receives points corresponding to their overall place among other scoring runners. For example, if Team A has eight runners that finish in 1st through 8th place, and Team B's fastest runner finishes 9th, Team Bís top runner receives 8 points (Team Aís eighth runner is not included in scoring). In the event of a tie, you may consider including sixth and seventh place runners in team scores to determine a winner.
- While the sixth and seventh runners do not count towards their teamís score, they can still help their team win. If the sixth runner on a team comes in before the fifth runner on another team, they help increase the other team's score.
- For a traditional team-scored event, tally the results and present awards to the top teams and top individual finishers.
- For a less competitive event, you can station someone at the finish line to hand out participant awards as students finish or give them to each teacher or coach to distribute to their teams.
Back to top
Back to top
Consider starting the event with a group warmup where you gather all participants together and have them follow along as an adult leads a simple warmup routine comprised of dynamic stretches and/or a brief jog. You can also organize a group cool-down.
- Try to position the warmup/cool-down leader above or below the runners (using stairs, a hill, or a stage) so the kids see the leader and can copy their movements. Provide a microphone if available.
- Play energizing music, if possible.
- Check out these sample warmup routines for some ideas:
In competitive settings, cross country runners often wear spikes. Spikes are shoes with metal spikes that improve a runner's traction. For a race with many beginners, or when a significant portion of the race will be run on hard surfaces (like concrete or asphalt), you may consider disallowing spikes. Check for any rules against spikes at the location of your race.Back to top

You say sheet like "sheets", what's wrong with you
The one is wrong is your ear
thanks for correction. :)
Ku kira The Seat
What is the different of Sheets and Seats In the Spelling?
The sheet = seprai.
Bed sheet = seprei
In English we use sheet to mean bed sheet. Any other use of sheet requires clarification, sheet of paper, sheet of metal etc. If we just say sheet then we mean bed sheet.

This is probably the most important square in Brno and is the imaginary center of the city. In the past, it was known as Lower Market or the Great Square. It has a roughly triangular layout and was first mentioned in the 13th century. Even in the Middle Ages, this was considered "uptown", where rich burghers and noblemen built their stately homes.
The last major reconstruction of the entire area took place in 2006.

The FEI Proposes New Rules on Pony Measuring: Why? What are they? How will they affect you?
If you are reading this article, you probably know the difference between a pony and a horse and have heard the terms "measuring in" and "measuring out" bandied about. But did you know that the FEI is proposing to dramatically revise the Pony measuring rules? This could have a massive impact on Pony owners, so we recommend you read carefully and raise any concerns you may have with your National Federations or with the FEI directly.
What are the current rules?
Under the current rules, ponies are measured at FEI events handpicked by the FEI Veterinary Department. Two measuring vets assess the ponies at these selected events using FEI certified and calibrated measuring sticks.
If you are a pony owner, the somewhat arbitrary figure of 150cm may strike fear into you because it is currently the maximum height allowed for a pony (without shoes) on competition day. Outside of competition, 148cm (without shoes) is the maximum height. Non-pony-owners might be surprised to know that ponies can 'grow' by several centimetres when under competition pressure, due to muscle exertion and sweat. Additionally, measuring conditions at events are not always perfect – there have been some controversial cases over the last few years where the measuring ground surface was found to be uneven, adding phantom centimetres to pony height. This is the reason for the FEI allowing 2cm of leeway as they explain that this compensates for any uncertainty around uneven surfaces
If a pony measures above the 150cm mark, it will not be able to compete that day. But all is not lost; an appeal can be made, leading to an appeal measurement within 40 days. The appeal measurement is done outside of event conditions and your pony has the chance to shrink back down and be called a pony again under FEI rules.

Why does the FEI want to change the rules?
The FEI identified several motivating factors behind the new proposals.
First, the FEI acknowledges the unnecessary stress, particularly for children, caused by measuring at competitions. Pony measuring – and incidental disputes – undoubtedly increase an already pressured environment. Pony measuring stress is not limited to children; it also draws in their parents and trainers. Nobody wants to travel hours to a competition, only to be told to turn around and go home again. And for those of us who are parents, we all know that there is nothing that induces stress more than the possibility of deeply disappointing our children. This makes for an explosive combination when pony measuring at events goes badly.
Additionally, the FEI believes that the 150cm limit allows ponies that are too large to compete – they think this current upper measurement is too high and needs to be curtailed.
The FEI also has efficiency on its mind. They want to eradicate the appeals system, which they believe wastes time and money. They are concerned about cases where a pony exceeded the maximum height (or 'measured out') at competition, then has a successful appeal measurement within 40 days… and then goes on to measure out at an event later that year. The FEI thinks the new proposals will prevent that from happening and therefore level the playing field for true ponies.
So… what are the new proposals?
The FEI is proposing doing away with pony measuring at competitions and instead implementing a system of global measuring sessions, undertaken yearly in each country or region. The maximum height would be reduced from 150cm without shoes to 148cm without shoes (149cm with shoes)
The FEI has suggested that the measuring sessions could take place between January 1 and March 15 each year, with an option for other sessions after this period. The sessions will take place at set measuring stations, with the FEI aiming to place at least one in each European country. The FEI proposes a complete revamp of the measuring stations under the new system. To ensure the stations are fair and consistent, the FEI has stated that there must be a flat measuring pad for ponies to stand on, an area to walk the ponies in hand, an area for ponies to urinate and finally an area for lunging and riding. There will be a measurement fee, which has not yet been set, charged for each pony.
The actual method used to measure the ponies may also evolve, as the FEI looks to increase efficiency and accuracy. The FEI is looking into using a recently developed laser device that works by sending a laser beam to the ground once placed on top of a pony. High tech!
If a pony 'measures in' the pony's profile in the FEI database will be updated to include the measurement result and the FEI will issue it with a measuring certificate. Going forward, only ponies with an FEI measuring certificate will be allowed to enter FEI pony competitions.
Ponies will need to be measured every year, until they reach eight years old. Once a pony reaches eight, the FEI will issue a lifetime certificate.

How will these proposals affect you? Should you be concerned?
If the new pony measurement proposals are accepted by National Federations, the transition period in which newly registered ponies would go through the new system, would begin on January 1, 2020 and end on January 1, 2023. During this period the FEI would carry out measuring only at three events: the European Pony Championships, the Nations Cup Final, and the Pony Trophy Final.
If your pony is already registered with the FEI, you do not need to worry about getting a certificate until January 1, 2023. That said, if your pony 'measures out' during the transition period, you will have no right to appeal and your pony must then register under the new system. Your National Federation will be notified and your pony will be blocked and will need to be re-registered as a horse. Any attempt to have the horse return back to pony status can only be made once in the same year and after that, once a year for two years.
These proposals to modify the Pony measuring system will be shared with your National Federations and then voted on at the FEI General Assembly later this year. If you have any important feedback, good or bad, you should get in touch with your National Federation and share it as your National Federations are empowered to provide feedback to the FEI during the consultation period on these proposed rules.

Background: Although the extant literature on patient safety is rich, few studies have specifically examined safety from the patient perspective. In addition, little is known about how patients decide whether they are safe or satisfied with their care. From a foundation of attribution theory, we suggest that patients may interpret service quality lapses as risks to their safety, and this will influence their evaluations of their care.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the relationships among service quality, patient safety perceptions, and patient satisfaction by testing a model that hypothesized a mediating role for patient safety perceptions.
Methodology: Acute care patients with recent inpatient visits at three hospitals were surveyed (Hospital 1, n = 486; Hospital 2, n = 279; Hospital 3, n = 231) to examine the relationships among service quality, safety, and satisfaction.
Findings: Analysis found that patient safety perceptions partially mediated the relationship between service quality and satisfaction in Hospital 1 and fully mediated the relationship in the Hospitals 2 and 3. Thus, patient safety perceptions explained the relationship between service quality and satisfaction. Consistent with previous research, patients who reported service quality problems perceived risks to their safety.
Practice Implications: Although practitioners focus heavily on the technical aspects of care, this study suggests that it would be worthwhile to pay closer attention to how patients evaluate processes of care, in particular, the processes they may use to infer their safety in the hospital.


About CRDS
CRDS is the radical shift Death Studies needs and thereby serves as a source of knowledge for how death practitioners, death care professionals, students and scholars alike can all better understand deathways of people of color and marginalized groups.
Who Are We? We are a collective of Scholars, Funeral Directors, Death Work Practitioners, Activists, and Students of Death Studies who view death work as synonymous with anti-racism work, synonymous with actively dismantling oppression, and as a way to validate cultural and social life among marginalized groups. We are working to achieve the goals of decolonizing death studies in theory and in practice from a variety of angles.
What Is Our Mission? Our mission is to interrogate the field of Death Studies to decolonize and de-center whiteness while calling to radicalize death practices, all in theory and in practice from a variety of angles, i.e. our research, writing, community work, and professional careers.
What Are Our Goals?
 1. To create a Radical Death Canon that can be adapted as a tool by death educators, death scholars, death practitioners, and all those interested in understanding death, dying, and the rituals of care provided from a decolonized perspective.
 2. To increase diversity in death scholarship and conversations–beyond class analysis
 3. Working to analyze how death, mourning, burial, and death investigations have changed over time along the lines of race, class, gender, ability/disability, sexuality
 4. To serve as a resource for a discerned understanding of the end-of-life experience and rituals around death for marginalized people and their communities

Ok so I have two lists in C#
List attributes = new List();
List songs = new List();
one is of strings and and one is of a attribute object that i created..very simple
class Attribute
 public string size { get; set; }
 public string link { get; set; }
 public string name { get; set; }
 public Attribute(){}
 public Attribute(string s, string l, string n)
 size = s;
 link = l;
 name = n;
I now have to compare to see what songs are not in the attributes name so for example
songs.Add("yet another");
Attribute a = new Attribute("500", "_URL_", "something" );
I want a way to return "another" and "yet another" because they are not in the attributes list name
so for pseudocode
difference = songs - attributes.names

This is the way to find all the songs which aren't included in attributes names:
var result = songs
 .Where(!attributes.Select(a => a.name).ToList().Contains(song));
The answer using Except is also perfect and probably more efficient.
EDIT: This sintax has one advantage if you're using it in LINQ to SQL: it translates into a NOT IN SQL predicate. Except is not translated to anything in SQL. So, in that context, all the records would be recovered from the database and excepted on the app side. Is much less efficiente.

Why did you post this if the other answers that use Except are perfect and more efficient? – DeeMac Mar 23 '12 at 14:15
If you see it, I posted this before the other answers, and added the comment later, stating clearly that the other solutions are better. – JotaBe Mar 23 '12 at 14:17
"I posted this before the other answers." You didn't. – DeeMac Mar 23 '12 at 14:25
Plus, you're missing a right parenthesis. – DeeMac Mar 23 '12 at 14:34
Hey, the voting system is here so that people knows which is the best answer. That's why I've voted adrian's. However I think it won't hurt to see a different alternative. Mine have at least one advantage. See my edited answer. – JotaBe Mar 23 '12 at 15:24

It's worth pointing out that the answers posted here will return a list of songs not present in attributes.names, but it won't give you a list of attributes.names not present in songs.
While this is what the OP wanted, the title may be a little misleading, especially if (like me) you came here looking for a way to check whether the contents of two lists differ. If this is what you want, you can use the following:-
var differences = new HashSet(songs);
differences.SymmetricExceptWith(attributes.Select(a => a.name));
if (differences.Any())
 // The lists differ.

I was asked to write a blog post about farmers - to explain what are the difference between chalupník (chalupner, cottager), sedlák (rusticus, Bauer, farmer), who was gruntovník and so on. I'll try to do my best to explain the differences and introduce different kinds of Czech farmers.
Let's start with hide (lán in Czech). It's a historical measurement used in both Bohemia and Moravia. There were different kinds of hides used, the one used for farmers was usually about 18 hectares (45 acres) large. It was a basic measurement and farmer who owned one hide of land and more (this is important to emphasize) was called láník (Lähner in German) or celoláník (Ganzlähner, celý, ganz = whole). I usually translate it as a farmer owning one hide of land. These farmers belonged among the largest farmers among our ancestors.
Those owning three quarters of hide to one hide were called třičtvrtěláník (Dreiviertlähner or Dreiviertler in German). It means they had between 13,5 and 18 hectares of land. Those owning half to three quarter of hide were called pololáník or půlláník or půlník (Halblähner in German).
Farmers owning from one quarter to one half of hide were called čtvrtláník or čtvrtník (Viertllähner or Viertler in German). One quarter of hide was minimum to be called sedlák (farmer), but you can see (mainly in southern and south-eastern Moravia) also farmers with half of one quarter of hide, called půlčtvtník (Halbviertler). This is historical case when houses were divided between two sons and both of them received half of the quarter - you can see such houses for example in Nová Lhota (Hodonín district). For people who had very small amounts of land (or none, but worked in agriculture), see this post.
Example of house divided among two people. Nová Lhota, Hodonín district.
Those who owned less than one quarter of hide were called chalupník (Chalupner in German, usually translated as cottager). These people belonged among farming class but weren't called sedlák. Their fields quite often weren't large enough to provide enough food to the family so they were often also craftsmen.
There is one more name you will most probably see in the registries if your ancestors were from Eastern Moravia - pasekář (Passeker in German). Paseka is forest clearance and this gives us a hint how these farms were founded - by clearing part of forest and settling there. The area of such farm wasn't strictly set, so it's hard to say how much land they had - the best way to find out is to check cadastral books in archives.
Example of pasekář settlement in Držková, Zlín district. Forests are grey.
Gruntovník was anyone owning a farm. Grunt means farm house, so anyone owning such house could be called gruntovník in parish books.
Ownership of farms
The question of ownership was also raised. Were farms owned by farmers or by the domain holders? Generally, as long as serfdom existed they were owned by the domain holders even the fact that the farmers lived on one farm for centuries. The farm was often inherited in the family but it didn't mean the farm couldn't have been taken away from the family - if the farmer was a bad housekeeper the domain owner has his right to decide he is going to change the keeper of the farm.
There were several serf duties connected to the ownership of the farm - farmers paid interest out of the farm (was set during the purchase) and they were also obliged to robota, labour for the domain owner, usually on his fields. Robota was set differently for various farmers, it always depended on the area of the farm.
I definitely forgot something I wanted to mention so this post will be most probably updated in future. :)

Is it time to stop obsessing over MadELeINE?
Why the Madeleine McCann case epitomises a narrative of white privilege
By El Barnes
The Madeleine McCann case is the most notorious missing person's case in history.
Almost twelve years later, Operation Grange has received a total of £11.75m of government funding, the most recent instalment having been granted in October 2018. But with 1 in 200 children going missing each year in the UK alone, is it time to finally stop obsessing over Madeleine McCann?
Before continuing, it must be addressed that this is a devastating case which has at the heart of it a beautiful and innocent little girl who, no matter which theory you choose to believe, has been met with an exceedingly tragic fate. I do find it interesting, though, that the only other case involving a child that has had an international audience just as captivated is the 1996 murder of JonBenét Ramsey in Boulder, Colorado. The most significant point of contrast between the two is that JonBenét's ordeal culminated with the discovery of a body, but the similarities don't start and end with public reception.
Like Madeleine, JonBenét was thought of as something of a juxtaposition between prized possession and least favourite child. Like Madeleine, JonBenét suffered the most horrific fate with her – apparently oblivious – family close by. JonBenét's brother, like Madeleine's siblings, was completely unaware and came out unscathed. As with Madeleine's case, evidence arose after the fact that pointed towards some kind of familial involvement. Like Madeleine, JonBenét was a white middle-class child, born to wealthy and respected parents. Like Madeleine, JonBenét was innocence personified – a young child with fair hair, fair skin and coloured eyes.
According to the charity Missing People, someone is reported missing every 90 seconds in the UK.
That means that since Madeleine's disappearance over 4.2m others have been reported missing, the majority of these being children, which begs the question: why Madeleine? It seems crass to suggest that an innocent and ill-fated child should become an unfortunate symbol of white privilege, but the sad truth is that when a person of colour and/or an immigrant or refugee goes missing, the media is far less likely to pay attention. A scroll through the current list of missing persons in the UK will reveal a glaring and cruel reality: people of colour make up a significant majority of missing persons, despite the population of the UK being 86% white.
What really saddens me about this is that I couldn't name a single person of colour on this page; the only missing persons' cases I've seen media coverage of recently are that of 16-year-old Liam Smith from Aberdeen, 21-year-old Libby Squire from Hull and 19-year-old Daniel Williams from Reading. The common denominator? The victims whose faces the media has chosen to circulate are all white.
I'm not suggesting that these three people received the media attention they deserved, or anywhere near as much as Madeleine.
I'm not even suggesting that Madeleine has received more than she deserves; I firmly believe that everything should be done to uncover the circumstances of her disappearance and bring the perpetrator(s) to justice. She, as a child, and an innocent victim, deserves that much. But if the government is incapable of providing such extensive and sustained funding, and the media incapable of giving such extensive and sustained air-time, to every child that goes missing, then it shouldn't be provided to one in particular. After all, it's not just Madeleine whose image conjures up reminders of the perpetuation of white privilege – it's her parents, too.
All too often Madeleine herself becomes lost in the earth-shattering reverberations of the tempestuous see-saw that is the public opinion of Kate and Gerry McCann and no matter which side of the see-saw you are on, you are sure to have an opinion. You are sure to believe that they are victims of unimaginable tragedy or evil perpetrators of a heinous crime. You are sure to know their faces. You most likely know that in just the first 10 months following Madeleine's disappearance, the public donated £2m to the McCanns. Picture Madeleine, and you inevitably picture Kate and Gerry along with her; their names and faces and numerous details of their lives…and yet so many names of actual missing people in the UK draw a blank.
But instead of contributing to an endless media circus and becoming another extension of the problem, let's talk about the missing people of colour in the UK and remind them, wherever they are, and their families, that we haven't forgotten them.
Recent photos can be found at, where you can also report sightings.
Let's find 16-year-old Ismael Berkoun, missing from Westminster since March 13th.
15-year-old Iesha Manuk Welsh, missing from Lambeth since March 13th.
14-year-old Rhys Moore-Campbell, missing from Camden since March 7th.
15-year-old Tamara Oram, missing from Walthamstow since March 4th.
17-year-old Tung Nguyen, missing from Luton since February 18th.
16-year-old Haftom Manush, missing from Birmingham since February 10th.
16-year-old Amy Mendes, missing from Croydon since January 22nd.
Let's circulate their names and faces and keep them in our thoughts as much as we have kept Madeleine there for the past twelve years and let's hope, just as fervently, that they too will be found.

Vocational education and training in Romania
Short description
This short description contributes to better understanding of vocational education and training (VET) in Romania by providing an insight into its main features and highlighting system developments and current challenges.
Romanian VET offers diverse paths for learners. It comprises professional and technological programmes, regularly updated to combat low participation in lifelong learning and early leaving from education and training.
As many EU countries, Romania has an ageing population. This has an impact on VET, with an 8.5% decrease in the number of VET upper secondary schools since 2012/13. Efforts are being made to increase student participation, enable access to VET, and improve its quality and its relevance to the labour market. Recent system developments include the introduction of a dual VET form: it complements the work-based learning tradition in school-based programmes and aims at making VET a more attractive option for learners, while adapting training better to employer needs.

Animals & comic scenes
Other popular themes in Victorian Christmas cards are birds and animals, often depicted in amusing ways, and comic scenes. Dogs, cats, and songbirds were regular subjects in Victorian cards, as they are today. However, the use of frogs, rats, mice, and insects in Christmas cards has declined over the years.
Comic cards usually present situations involving winter scenes, Christmas customs, or politics and current events. While some still amuse us, others treated topics of a less enduring nature and now tend to baffle us.


What Does Bridge the Gap Mean?
Bridge the Gap Meaning
Definition: To connect things in a logical way; to have qualities of two different things; to fill in a space between two things.
Essentially, at its minimal meaning, bridge the gap means to diminish the differences between two things. This can be by adding something intermediary, as in, "Scholarships were provided to bridge the gap between students with money and students without money." or it can mean to find an existing similarity between the two, as in, "Their love of brownies bridged the gap between the two people who otherwise hated each other."
Origin of Bridge the Gap
meaning of bridge the gapBridge comes from the Old English brycgian, which means to make a causeway. Gap is an early 14th-century word meaning an opening in a wall, a break, a breach.
The broader meaning of unfilled space or interval, any hiatus or interruption didn't come about until around 1600, and it is likely that the metaphorical meaning of bridge the gap did not come about until after this—not until after the version to stop a gap was popular. Stop a gap, later stopgap, was something contrived to meet an urgent need or emergency.
The earliest newspaper examples of the idiom as seen today were not until the late-1800s, with a May 1888 issue of The Pacific commercial advertiser reading,
 - Two hundred and seven circulating planetary bodies bridge the gap between Jupiter and Mars, the complete investigation of the movements of any of which would overtask the energies of a life-time.
Examples of Bridge the Gap
bridge the gap meaningIn the modern day, this idiom is used in casual conversations as well as in business conversations.
In its most literal meaning, people may say,
 - They are planning to bridge the gap with a 40 foot-long structure this spring.
If there is a noticeable and problematic difference between two things, one could say,
 - They will bridge the gap between German speakers and non-German speakers by providing a translator.
 - The knowledge gap between those at the top and those at the bottom can only be solved through a change in education.
More Examples
 - Bridging the gap between old and young will not be easy, and is clearly not something the Government can do: no one wants the state telling families how they should live. –The Telegraph
 - We wanted to bridge the gap [between healthy and filling food] and create a palate-satisfying hearty meal that wasn't heavy. The result? An 85% plant-based menu sprinkled with enough animal protein to feed the soul. –Ocean Drive
To bridge the gap is to connect two otherwise unrelated things by adding something or by finding common ground.

There are two sets of credentials you might need when renaming a scheduled task using Rename-ScheduledTask.ps1:
 - The -ConnectionCredential parameter specifies the credentials to use to connect to the schedule service on the computer where the task is stored (either the local computer or a remote computer). If you aren't a member of the Administrators group on the computer hosting the task, you can connect to the schedule service using administrator credentials.
 - The -TaskCredential parameter specifies the credentials for the task itself, if needed. Task credentials are needed only when the task's Run whether user is logged on or not option is selected and the Do not store password option is not selected. If credentials are required and you don't specify the
 -TaskCredential parameter, the script will prompt you for credentials.
Both the -ConnectionCredential and -TaskCredential parameters require a PSCredential object as their argument. A PSCredential object securely stores a username and password for use in security operations. However, there is an important caveat you need to know about: Rename-ScheduledTask.ps1 converts the secure passwords in PSCredential objects to plain text because the scripting object model doesn't support PSCredential objects.
You can easily create PSCredential objects by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. Run the command
Get-Help Get-Credential
at a PowerShell prompt for more information about PSCredential objects.

Persuasive personal monitoring and feedback systems could help patients and clinicians manage mental illness. Mental illness is complex, difficult to treat, and carries social stigma. From a review of literature on bipolar disorder and interviews with bipolar disorder experts, we developed a framework for designing a persuasive monitoring system to support management of the illness. The framework applies a user-centered design process that is especially sensitive to the complexity of the illness, the difficulty of treatment, its stigma, and the goals of patients and clinicians. We describe our application of this framework to designing a persuasive mobile phone monitoring system. We discuss how our use of the framework can help overcome the special challenges posed by designing systems for mental illness: (1) accommodating a complex array of symptoms, (2) supporting an uncertain treatment process, and (3) maintaining a high level of sensitivity to the seriousness and darkness of the illness, as well as the social stigma associated with it.

Inspection Control - Focus on Stamp Warranty
After completing this course, the student should be familiar with the basics and importance of the stamp warranty inspection control. The student should completely understand the procedures required for implementing and maintaining an inspection control program with a stamp warranty focus.
Why Learn about Stamp Warranty?
Aerospace projects consist of complex systems of interdependent components. To ensure that the entire system works properly, it is of utmost importance that all of its components are functional and integrated seamlessly. To guarantee this, it is necessary that the system and its components be inspected at different points throughout the project life. Inspection control and the uses of stamps allows you to keep track of the inspections that different components of the system have undergone. While this course describes the methods used by NASA, for academic payload projects you could adopt simpler versions of the inspection control procedures. The main purpose of proof of inspection is still valid for your project.
- What is Inspection Control?
- Personal Warranty in Inspection Control
- Inspection Control System
- Stamps and Marking Materials
- Stamp Designs
This course's structure is strongly based on NASA's SMA Technical Excellence Program (STEP) - "Inspection Control and Personal Warranty", SMA-QE-WBT-252 and "Inspection", SMA-QE-WBT-251, courses, images and content are courtesy of the NASA STEP program.


Exploring Guangzhou: 4 Interesting Things To Do
There are many cities around the world known for being busy trade destinations and Guangzhou happens to be one of them.
Despite the busyness within the trade area of this city, the rest of the streets have quite a different atmosphere, which is laidback and calm. Visitors can spend their time in this city exploring sights, both old and new, while admiring how past and current traditions and thoughts blend together seamlessly.
Here are 4 things that everyone must do while visiting Guangzhou:
1. Go to the Top of Canton Tower
things to do in Guangzhou: Canton Tower
Canton Tower is the tallest building within Guangzhou and the second tallest one in the entire country. Those who venture to the top will find themselves four hundred and fifty meters in the air on the observation deck, as they see panoramic views of the city. The best time to visit this tower is at night, as the views include the magic from the city being lit up.
2. Visit Shamian Island
things to do in Guangzhou: Shamian Island
The trade industry was important on this island until the middle of the 19th century, and while some of that history is still present, visitors can tell that the colonial influence is everywhere. As people wander around the island, they will see how some areas have been influenced by one country, while other areas have been influenced by other countries. The French Catholic Church is one of the main attractions on the island, as are the row of houses that used to be known as the Thirteen Factories.
3. Visit the Chimelong Zoo
things to do in Guangzhou: Chimelong Zoo
This zoo is also a safari park, circus, amusement park, water park, golf center, and resort, so people will find something that they love when they visit! Everyone can either ride in a cart or walk past animals that are allowed to roam freely within the three hundred and twenty acres of this park and zoo. While the animals are wild, visitors are allowed to interact with a few of them. Although there are many animals, the most popular one is the pandas, and the only area of the country that has more than they do here is Chengdu. There is also a crocodile farm with at least one hundred thousand crocodiles that many people are fascinated by. The amusement park has some amazing rides, as does the waterpark, so visitors may want to plan on spending at least a day here.
4. Take One of the Pearl River Cruises
things to do in Guangzhou: Pearl River Cruises
The Pearl River is the third largest river in the country and one of the best ways for visitors to see the city of Guangzhou is to take a cruise along this river. While the daytime cruises are wonderful, most people will prefer the evening ones when the city is lit up bright under the nighttime sky. A few of the places that cruisers will see include the Nanfang Mansion, the White Swan Hotel, the White Goose Pool, and the Guangzhou Bridge.
These four things are the highlights of this fabulous city, but there are many other attractions that everyone will want to visit when they are there. These four things only touch upon the beauty that is everywhere in Guangzhou and there is plenty more waiting to be discovered.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I go on a 'Mental Health Plan' for your service and claim the Medicare Rebate?
The short answer is: No.
In this please consider:
The Medicare rebates available through a 'Mental Health Plan' through your GP is for Psychological counselling services carried out by a registered psychologist, it does not rebate for counselling with Counsellors. I am a Clinical Counsellor and have been working in the helping industry offering support and therapy for over 22 years.
In deciding the best course of action for your particular set of circumstances there can be a number relevant considerations to take into account.
In seeing a psychologist you should be aware that:
 1. To qualify for the Medicare rebate you may find yourself diagnosed with a 'mental illness' by your GP or psychiatrist. In life it can be normal to suffer emotionally as a result of common life events and historical experiences, and from this react with anxiety, depression, and stress but that doesn't mean you have a 'mental illness'. It is normal to experience depression, fear, anger, hopelessness and anxiety when you are dealing with conflict, separation, grief, loss, trauma, relationship issues, chronic illness, family problems, and work related issues. You could also struggle because you come from a toxic or dysfunctional family and have not had the chance to develop skills or beliefs that would help you move beyond this. You could also struggle because you have suffered abuse or traumatic life events and not had the opportunity to process this.
 I present these possibilities (and there are many more) as none of this means you necessarily have a 'mental illness'. Even if you experience excessive levels of anxiety your doctor may need to diagnose you with 'Generalised Anxiety Disorder' so that you can receive the Medicare rebate.
 You need to be fully aware of this and consider whether you want a possible diagnosis of 'Mental Illness' on your permanent records which is held by Medicare, your doctor's clinic and may need to be disclosed for certain jobs or careers. Furthermore, these can be accessed by insurance companies for example that may impose a loading on your premium as a result of an existing health problem. While therapy conducted by myself is not reported or kept on any electronic database, and unless the limits of confidentiality are breached all therapy notes and information stay within our sessions.
 2. Currently the Medicare rebate refunds between $80 - $120 for the psychology session and it is important to note that typical psychologist's fees can range from about $150-$180 a session, so you will still have to pay the gap unless the psychologist you choose has a policy of discounting their fee to eligible clients.
 3. The number of sessions you are given access to rebate by Medicare will be a standard 10 sessions in a calendar year, this is currently broken into a 6 and 4 session format. The first 6 sessions in a year are offered to all individuals that are on the plan with a follow up 4 sessions at the discretion of the Psychologist to people deemed to be suffering ongoing mental disorders. If you need more sessions than your doctor can allocate in that year you will have to pay the psychologists full fee.
 4. Importantly, when someone else is paying for a large part of your therapy they can influence what treatment you receive. Psychologists can be limited in the therapies that they are allowed to offer by the Australian Psychological Society (APS). Which may in fact deny you access to a range of therapies and approaches that may be beneficial for you or more attuned to your particular set of needs.
 5. In all this you need to make an informed decision regarding your therapy and approach in moving forward with your mental health. In weighing this up please feel free to give me a call as I would be more than happy to discuss my service and its possible suitability. Finally, if your decision is to access the mental health plan through your GP they will have the resources to refer you to a registered Psychologist. Alternatively you can contact me and I will put you in touch with a number of Psychologists that I am in active consultation with here at our offices.
Why should I consider seeking counselling?
If you are stuck, struggling, or overwhelmed with any area of your life, or if you are wanting growth, healing and greater insight, seeking counselling can be a wonderful answer. Perhaps you are dealing with feeling anxious, sad, hurt, angry, depressed, frustrated or confused. Maybe you are struggling in your relationships and communication with your partner, family, children, parents, friends or co-workers. Maybe something has happened to you that you need to sort through. Or maybe you are simply searching for self-improvement, ways to take strengths and make them even stronger and more enriching. Counselling can be a helpful, effective and confidential resource to help you achieve all these things in your life.
Is therapy right for me?
How can counselling help me?
A number of benefits are available from participating in counselling. Counsellors can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, and body image issues etc. Many people also find that counsellors can be a great help in managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marriage issues, and the hassles of everyday life. Therapists can provide a fresh perspective on a problem or journey with you as you explore possible directions in finding a solution. The benefits you obtain from therapy depend on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn. Some of the benefits available from therapy include the following:
 - Attaining a better understanding of yourself, your goals and values
 - Developing skills for improving your relationships
 - Learning new ways to cope with stress and anxiety
 - Managing anger, grief, depression, and other emotional pressures
 - Improving communication and listening skills
 - Changing old behaviour patterns and developing new ones
 - Discovering new ways to solve problems in your family or marriage
 - Improving your self-esteem and boosting self-confidence
What is counselling like?
Every counselling session is unique and caters to each individual and their specific goals, developmental level, and needs in life. It is standard for therapists to discuss the primary issues and concerns in your life during therapy sessions. It is common to schedule a series of weekly sessions, where each session lasts around one hour. Therapy can be short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer-term, addressing more complex issues or ongoing personal growth. There may be times when you are asked to take certain actions outside of the therapy sessions, such as reading a relevant book or keeping records to track certain behaviours. It is important to process what has been discussed and integrate it into your life between sessions. For therapy to be most effective you must be an active participant, both during and between the sessions. People seeking counselling are willing to take responsibility for their actions, work towards self-change and create greater awareness in their lives. Here are some things you can expect out of therapy:
 - Compassion, respect and understanding
 - Perspectives to illuminate persistent patterns and negative feelings
 - Real strategies for enacting positive change
 - Effective and proven techniques along with practical guidance
Is counselling confidential?
In general, the law protects the confidentiality of all communications between a client and counsellor. No information is disclosed without prior written permission from the client. However, there are some exceptions required by law to this rule.
Exceptions include the following:
 - If a client intends to harm themselves. The therapist will make every effort to work with the individual to ensure their safety. However, if an individual is unable or unwilling to keep themselves safe, additional measures may need to be taken.
 - If the counsellors case notes are requested or subpoenaed by a court.
If you ever have questions or concerns about confidentiality, please be sure to ask.
You will benefit the most from counselling if you come openly and honesty, and are motivated and committed to getting help. You may find that counselling at times becomes difficult or stressful; this is often true when dealing with issues and change. At those times and as long as therapy is still helping, your goal is to stick with it and keep trying. Be sure to speak up if you have any questions or concerns that come up along the way with the therapy process. You will find that your counsellor is receptive to open communication and feedback.
What if my partner/spouse/family won't participate?
Not all family members have to take part in sessions for therapy to be effective. Of course, it's better if all affected parties are willing to participate, but they often get involved in therapy later if they see your motivation and commitment. If your loved ones still will not join therapy, come anyway. Therapy with one person still can be effective in making changes that can have positive effects on everyone around you.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you do not show up for your scheduled counselling appointment and you have not notified us 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session.


School History
In late 2008, Heather Fish began discussing the idea of founding a new martial arts school within her community of friends and martial artists. The founding members came together to create and support a new community where individual martial artists could not only train together, but actively support each other as they grew as a martial artists and as people.
Polaris Fellowship incorporated as a Michigan Nonprofit in 2009.
Polaris is named for the North Star. This symbolizes that as we study and learn together, we develop the tools which allow us to better find our individual paths. Polaris is deeply rooted in fellowship and the school actively works to build a supportive martial arts community for its members.
The school's symbol, the pole star, was designed by Scott Wilhelm.

Vintage Photos Showing Chinese People Wearing Fingernail Guards From the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries
The Chinese fingernail guard came from the Ming dynasty but became popular in the Qing dynasty. For having long fingernails was a sign of power and beauty and wearing fingernail guards protected the nails.
Both men and women of the nobility in ancient China wore their nails long. Long fingernails were a status symbol, showing that that person literally didn't have to lift a finger to do any work. Women usually have longer nails than men, so nail guards became an accessory worn both to protect the nails from breaking and to be decorative.
Nail guards were usually made from metals or shells, sometimes also jade. Historical artifacts show that they are usually made of gold, silver, bronze, or gilded metal, and embedded with pearls, precious stones or kingfisher feather. The length can be anywhere from 3cm (1 in) to 15cm (6 in) depending on how long the wearer wishes it to be.
Nail guards could be worn on one hand only, or on both hands; the latter would signal the wearer's higher status as it shows they do not need to use either of their hands. Some internet novels suggest that nail guards could be worn on all four fingers of the hand, except the thumb, but in reality this would make it extremely difficult to hold anything, so this is highly illogical.
Nail guards as historical artifacts usually came in pairs, which suggest they were worn on two fingers of each hand – the fourth finger and the pinky. This is also consistent as what is seen in paintings and photographs.

 1. Those are pretty badass, tbh...made in China though, they probably broke after wearing them twice.

Activity Report: filtering by "is null" or "is not null" is ignored
On the Activity Details report, any filter that allows selecting "Is Null" or "Is Not Null" is broken (with the possible exception of the Source/Target/Assignee Contact filters).
- Go to the Activity Details report.
- Remove the "Activity Date is this month" default filter.
- Run the report. Observe the total number of activities in the database.
- Filter a field that allows null/not null (e.g. Location) to Is Null.
- Run the report again. Observe that the total number of activities is the same (but that could be legitimate).
- Filter the same field to Is Not Null.
- Run the report one more time. Observe that the total number of activities is still the same.
Filtering by "is null" or "is not null" is ignored.
Filtering by "is null" or "is not null" should work.
This was broken by the fix to CRM-18356. Since my initial attempts at fixing this reintroduced the bug described there, I wrote tests for both scenarios to lock both fixes in.
