Vologas V. Partski, veliki kralj Partskega cesarstva, ki je vladal od leta 191 do 208. Od leta 186 do 198 je bil tudi rimski vazalni kralj Armenskega kraljestva, v katerem je vladal kot Vologas II. ali Vagharš II. (armensko Վաղարշ),  ni znano, ni znano.

Bil je sin kralja Vologasa IV. (vladal 147-191). Njegovemu nasledstvu je nasprotoval rivalski kralj Kosroj II. (vladal 190), ki je že pred smrtjo Vologasovega očeta prevzel oblast v Mediji. Vologas je Kosroja očitno hitro odstavil.

Leta 195 ga je napadel rimski cesar Septimij Sever (vladal 193–211).  Vdrl je v Mezopotamijo, zasedel Nisibis  in leta 199 izropal partsko prestolnico Ktezifon. Mnogo ujetih Partov je prodal v suženjstvo. Poskušal je osvojiti tudi arabsko obmejno trdnjavo v Atri, vendar mu to ni uspelo. Leta 202 je bil sklenjen mir, s katerim je Rimsko cesarstvo obdržalo celo Mezopotamijo.

Vologasa V. je nasledil starejši sin Vologas VI. (vladal 208–228). Mlajši sin Artaban V. se je temu uprl in izbruhnila je državljanska vojna. Vologas V. je imel še dva sinova: Reva I., ki je postal kralj Kavkaške Iberije, in Kosroja I., ki je nasledil njegovo Armensko kraljestvo.

LIVERPOOL have an agreement to sign Schalke star Leon Goretzka in January.
The Germany international, 22, has impressed for the Bundesliga side this season.
Goretzka has netted four goals in nine appearances for Schalke this time out.
The midfielder has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months, with Arsenal and Tottenham said to be keen.
However, according to Spanish transfer outlet Don Balon, Goretzka is heading to Liverpool.
They even claim the Reds have a January agreement to sign the midfielder.
Don Balon say Goretzka has snubbed Barcelona to head to Anfield.
The La Liga giants were desperate to sign Goretzka but the German wasn't happy with Barca's salary offer.
Don Balon add that Goretzka's arrival could see Philippe Coutinho finally head to the Nou Camp in January.
Barca made three bids for the Brazil international in the summer but the Reds held firm and kept hold of their key man.
The playmaker handed in a transfer request in hope of securing his dream move to the Nou Camp but a deal didn't materialise.
Liverpool are expected to demand around £130m for Coutinho should he leave in January.


The Appeals Body, Division Two, N.B. Wachman (in the Chair), C.E. O'Sullivan and Liam Ward met at the Stewards Room, Curragh Racecourse, Co. Kildare on 2nd May 2011 to consider an appeal from C.D. Hayes, rider, against the decision of the Stewards at Clonmel on 21st April 2011 when, following the running of the Sepam Tipperary Perpetual Cup Handicap, he was suspended for two race days for careless riding.
The grounds of appeal lodged by his solicitors, Coonan Cawley, were that "in all the circumstances, he did not ride carelessly and any interference caused was a result of general bunching, track layout and ground conditions inter alia".
Evidence was heard from J.P. Murtagh, rider of Mubrook (USA), P.J. Smullen, rider of Oneeightofamile and C.D. Hayes, rider of Hunting Tower (GB).
In his evidence J.P. Murtagh said that he was not affected by the interference caused and that his horse was beaten at the time. He also referred to the tightness of the racecourse.
P.J. Smullen said that he had kept his racing line down into the straight. He felt a gap did appear for a split second. He confirmed that he received interference from his inside and that Chris Hayes's horse, who caused the interference, was never actually in front of him.
C.D. Hayes confirmed P.J. Smullen's evidence and said that there was a gap when he decided to go for it but he accepted that his horse hadn't been fast enough to get through it. He said he misjudged his horse's pick up. He also said that he felt the track layout and general bunching contributed to what occurred.
Having considered the evidence, the Appeals Body accepted that interference had taken place and that the interference was caused by misjudgment on the part of C.D. Hayes. They found that he was guilty of careless riding. They dismissed his appeal and in view of his poor record ordered that the two race day ban (8th & 9th May) originally imposed by the Stewards at Clonmel remain in place. They also ordered that he forfeit his appeal deposit.
The case was presented by Denis Egan, Chief Executive of the Turf Club. C.D. Hayes was represented by Andrew Coonan, Coonan Cawley Solicitors, Naas, Co. Kildare.


Can please someone explain to me in plain English what the hell these "task forces" are?
OK, I read through the stuff. First of all, who sees the need to "redefine" Internal Medicine? Second of all, did the "newspeak" vocabulary strike anyone here? (It made me quite uncomfortable, but that just may be me). Third of all, I personally think that there is a major confusion running like a common thread through the articles between the basic definition of the term "Internal Medicine" and the physicians that specialize and practice Internal Medicine and the system of healthcare delivery regarding Internal Medicine...such confusion, especially coming from experts in Public Health (many of the authors have additional degrees in MPH) seems quite unusual (to me, at least). Fourth of all, it was very hard for me to understand whether these articles are opinion, commentaries, analyses, or what else? Fifth of all, when I hear that there is a "task force" out there to re-define the very goal/definition/"mission" of a pretty old and traditional profession, especially its core specialty of Internal Medicine...I just get anxious. But indeed this may be just me.
Bugsie, you are right to be anxious. Any time I hear these words I am reminded of how the "Provider" came about and everything that has followed it. Any time "public health experts" begin to redefine anything I worry. Remember Hsiao from Harvard Public health? Paranoid I may be!

Leaders of 4 main councils opposed to Heathrow favour a Gatwick runway, and tell residents to respond to NPS consultation
Hillingdon, Richmond, Wandsworth and Windsor and Maidenhead councils have been campaigning against Heathrow expansion for more than a decade. They argue that expanding the airport will have a major impact on West London. The expansion will cause irreconcilable damage to the environment and people's health. It will cost tax payers as much as £20bn. The four councils are encouraging their residents to respond to the 2nd NPS consultation, about a possible 3rd Heathrow runway (deadline 19th December). This consultation is happening partly due to complaints from the councils that the DfT had withheld important new information from the public. Cllr Ray Puddifoot, Leader of Hillingdon Council, said: "A third runway at Heathrow would be disastrous for Londoners…." Cllr Paul Hodgins, Leader of Richmond Council, said: "This is all about having a single trophy airport, instead of a network of airports that brings greater benefit. Over the past ten years people in Richmond upon Thames have voiced their concerns about the possible expansion of Heathrow in their thousands. We must not stop telling the government that Heathrow expansion is the wrong choice." The leaders of the four councils back a runway at Gatwick instead, preferring to transfer the misery onto others, whose interests they do not represent.
The councils do not appear to understand, or take seriously, the carbon implications of building either new runway – Heathrow or Gatwick – and the climate impact of encouraging huge UK aviation expansion ….
Stand up against Heathrow – have your say
15.11.2017 (Hillingdon Council)
Residents have just five weeks left to let the government know that expanding Heathrow should be off the table for good, in the latest consultation on the future of the airport.
Last month the government was forced to launch a consultation for a second time on its proposed National Policy Statement (NPS) for airports. This followed complaints from councils that they had withheld important new information back from the public.
Now, thanks to lobbying and legal efforts from four local councils, the latest consultation finally includes information on long-term aviation forecasts and the new national air quality plan – both missing from the original consultation. In addition, for the first time, the government has been forced to admit that expanding Gatwick airport makes financial and environmental sense.
Hillingdon, Richmond, Wandsworth and Windsor and Maidenhead councils have been campaigning against Heathrow expansion for more than a decade. They argue that expanding the airport will have a major impact on West London. The expansion will cause irreconcilable damage to the environment and people's health. It will cost tax payers as much as £20bn.
Residents are encouraged to go online and have their say, even if they took part in the consultation earlier this year. The deadline for feedback is 19 December 2017.
To have your say, please go to: Heathrow expansion revised draft airports national policy statement consultation
Cllr Ray Puddifoot, Leader of Hillingdon Council, said: "As we have said from the very beginning, Gatwick is a more sustainable option and one which can be delivered at a much reduced cost to the taxpayer, with far less damage to the environment and wellbeing of people.
"The previous consultation was a sham, and the government has finally admitted that expansion at Gatwick would be more economically beneficial. A third runway at Heathrow would be disastrous for Londoners, and I'd encourage all residents to have their say in the latest consultation now."
Cllr Paul Hodgins, Leader of Richmond Council, said: "As we said at the time, the government's left out key information in their first consultation that sheds new light on whether expanding Heathrow is the best option. So, they have to re-open the consultation.
"This time around they have been forced to admit – there is evidence which confirms that an extra runway at Gatwick provides greater economic benefit and less damage to health and the environment. This isn't just about residents under the flight path. Why should people around the country pay higher prices to a near monopoly, which would also require more public investment that should be used elsewhere? This is all about having a single trophy airport, instead of a network of airports that brings greater benefit.
"Over the past ten years people in Richmond upon Thames have voiced their concerns about the possible expansion of Heathrow in their thousands.
"We must not stop telling the government that Heathrow expansion is the wrong choice. There are better options. This cannot be dragged out any further. I encourage everyone, go online now and have your say."
Cllr Ravi Govindia, Leader of Wandsworth Council, said: "We have been very clear from day one about our objection to this expansion. The facts speak for themselves and aren't going to change – the people of Wandsworth are not prepared to stand idly by and allow a scheme to take place that is going to have such a serious impact on the environment of our borough and the health of our residents.
"It is clear that expansion at Gatwick would cause less damage than Heathrow and it's now time for all of us to have our say through this latest round of consultation, and ensure that the message goes out in no uncertain terms that Wandsworth is firmly against these proposals."
Cllr Simon Dudley, Leader of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, said: "We have always said we believe Gatwick is the best place for airport expansion in the south east and this has been confirmed in the re-opened consultation.
"Not only would a third runway at Heathrow blight our residents' lives but it is clearly not the best option on the table.
"I would encourage residents to once again make their voices heard during this extended round of consultation."

Today marks 1 year since I started my first 101 Things in 1,001 Days list. I've been really enjoying it so far, though there are a few things I have learned and things I will do differently next time. I think I prefer this format to other goal-list-type things I have done before: like yearly goals, yearly themes or "30 Before Age 30". Of course, they are not that different, but I think the longer time period makes me feel less pressured. Also, 101 items is a good amount to cover all of my diverse hobbies and other things I'd like to do over the course of a few years.
I haven't completed many things from the list yet, but some of them are quite significant milestones that I'm proud of. I finished my conscript, which I'd been working on for nearly 20 years (blog post to come). I got a cat, and he's quite a fantastic cat! I unpacked all of my books, and made jam. I organised a party for a milestone birthday.
So far I have re-assessed the items on the list at least twice. I'm the kind of person whose interests change over time, becoming curious about new things and putting aside old ones along the way. For this reason, it's been important for me to take a flexible attitude and be willing to make changes. Otherwise I'd never complete the list! Not long after starting, I made a conscious decision to re-assess the entire list at least once every 6 months. I have a spreadsheet where I keep track of everything -- I just created a second tab to store these superceded ideas, as well as ideas for future lists.
For example, I'm no longer so interested in #50: Go Fruit Picking now that I have my own fruit trees to invest time and effort into. #93: Take my Mum to Womadelaide seems obsolete now, as I found out recently that she's no longer so enthusiastic about going. I originally put #44: Get A Massage Every Second Month as I wanted to take advantage of subsidised massages under my health insurance. It was going quite well until I found out that I can only have 3 per year, so I needed to re-think whether I was comfortable with that level of expenditure.
Aside from changing interests, there were a few things on the list that are probably no longer feasible for me to do. For example, #97: Visit the Open Gardens. The official Open Gardens scheme has closed down, though there are still private gardens to visit. #33: do NaNoWriMo was a dismal failure as November is an incredibly busy time of year for me. #53: Go Overseas -- might be more difficult to achieve now that I have a cat to care for.
⇒ Despite having the SMART Goals model hammered into me at work (Specific, Measurable, etc), I still put in several items that were vague and open to interpretation, such as #60 Have All The Basics Done In The Garden. At the time, I thought I'd go back in and list specific tasks that I wanted to do under that banner, but I haven't gotten around to doing that yet.
⇒ I wish I had put in more items that are one-offs and less that are "do such-and-such every month". While trying to develop regular habits is good, the 101 Things in 1,001 Days list is possibly not the best place for these. It's discouraging to look at the item on the list over and over, knowing you won't be able to tick it off until the very end of the 1,001 days.
⇒ Next time, I'd like to have more of a mix of big, small and medium-sized items. Having a good amount of small-sized items means that more items can be done satisfyingly sooner. One version of the Kanban workflow system from Japan classifies tasks into mouse, elephant and even blue whale sizes. It's a cute idea!
I've done several new things in the past year that aren't on the list, or things I've done before but never done them so well before. I saw a concert with music I love for the first time -- not just one, but two! I went to a fashion runway show. I changed my attitude to life and work which I think will serve me better in future. For the first time, I've started calling myself an Archivist. For the first time, I said to both friends and strangers, "I'm an artist." I've begun to realise more about my spirituality. And I've started a major new project which I'll talk about more in a future post -- when I'm ready! I think it's important to acknowledge these things which can't be conveniently written down in a list, or may have come along spontaneously but ended up being important milestones in my life.
Looking at my list and the items I've crossed off or are well into, gives me renewed motivation to continue. I'm looking forward to finishing it off and drawing up a new one, even though that's a long way off at the moment.
I love how honest you are about your 101/1001 challenge! Are you substituting the items you are no longer interested in with others? I know the feeling, by the way, I kicked out about a third of my second list and wrote it anew at one time.
aThank you! I know myself, and I know I'd come to hate the list if I didn't let it be flexible. Also life changes in ways you don't expect sometimes. I have some new things I want to work on, like writing a new zine, so I will add those instead.

Getting ready to spit a big mouthful of water! I missed the 52 Project last week when we were in Palm Springs, but I'm jumping back in this week. We had so much fun swimming in the 'big pool', and trying to keep Soren out of the 'baby pool', which was really the hot-tub. He seemed to grow a lot in the 11 days that we were gone. He was more independent, and seemed to really blossom in the sun. I think he even grew a few more hairs! When people told us their babies were bald till age two, I secretly thought that would not be the case for us. However, as 21-months has come and gone, and we're nearing the two year mark, I think he'll be one of those babies. It makes getting ready easy, and we don't have to bother with hair-washing in the tub!

"Safety at sea forms the foundation of our organisation; it's in our DNA," continues Spithout: "We have been working tirelessly to provide critical always-on, reliable communications infrastructure that seafarers, vessels and nations depend on to help save lives at sea. "In 2020 we expect to launch latest generation satellite constellation – Inmarsat-6; continuing our 35+ year commitment to L-band and safety services," Spithout added.


Finally starting to make some real headway in my search for Halloween-themed brews. This one came to me via my wife who has been helping me in my quest.
Description: A "tropically inspired" unfiltered IPA brewed with pineapple and Mandarin orange. You can get the full spiel and some specs here on the brewery website. My six-pack had a canned on date of 9/14/2017, and a recommend best by date of 1/12/2018. Something tells me these won't make it that long.
Appearance: It had a cloudy, golden-yellow body with a fluffy white head.
Smell: Juicy pineapple and tropical sweetness followed by sweet bitterness.
Taste: Loads of tropical fruit upfront, with pineapple and Mandarin orange clearly in the forefront. About mid-sip a layer of earthy, grassy hop bitterness sets in, taking the beer to a bitter, somewhat raw finish mixing the aforementioned hops in with bitter orange and tangerine.
Mouthfeel: Par for the course, medium bodied with a fairly moderate amount of carbonation.
Hype: Not so much in the hype department. Plenty of this one to go around.
Overall: A solid brew, I liked this a lot more than the tangerine IPAs that inspired it. I did still find the finish a bit harsh, but that is starting to seem like the way I feel about fruited IPAs in general these days.
I do plan on reviewing something other than a Trillium beer sooner or later, but I only have so much time in which to "research" these reviews and honestly this is all I've been drinking these past few weeks. Talk about a good problem to have.
Description: Another collaboration double IPA, this one was brewed with blood oranges. You can get the official write-up here. Four packs were going for $20.20 though I personally took advantage of the brewery's willingness to split them up this time around. It's been an expensive few weeks.
Appearance: Super cloudy, bright straw yellow body with a thin layer of yellowish/white foam that formed with the pour and quickly faded away.
Smell: Pineapple soaked in dank hop resin.
Taste: Opened with mellow tropical fruit and gradually became increasingly bitter by mid-sip whengrapefruit and orange pith began to take over. After sitting for a minute or two, the beer took on a nice orange cream taste here as well. The finish I found a bit raw and hot, as a combination of earthy and piney hops joined with the aforementioned grapefruit to rather assertively close out the brew.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate carbonation that left me with some happy little bubbles on the end.
Hype: On the basis of being a special release alone I'll say high, though there had also been some speculation online about when this particular collaboration would become available. Despite this anticipation I was able to just walk in and out at Fort Point. Go figure.
Overall: This was good, but not quite as good as the other collaborations Trillium has put out in the past few weeks. That's admittedly some tough company for comparison's sake, but it seems like a fair standard in this case. I loved this beer until about the halfway point and then I felt the finish was just a bit too harsh for my preferences. It's nowhere near Never & Again levels, though perhaps in a couple of days that will tone down some. Still a solid pickup.

Germany: 25 arrested on suspicion of planning armed coup

Thousands of police carried out a series of raids across much of Germany on Wednesday against suspected far-right extremists who allegedly sought to overthrow the state in an armed coup.
Federal prosecutors said some 3,000 officers conducted searches at 130 sites in 11 of Germany's 16 states against adherents of the so-called Reich Citizens movement. Some members of the grouping reject Germany's postwar constitution and have called for the overthrow of the government.
Justice Minister Marco Buschmann described the raids as an "anti-terrorism operation," adding that the suspects may have planned an armed attack on institutions of the state.
Prosecutors said 22 German citizens were detained on suspicion of "membership in a terrorist organization." Three other people, including a Russian citizen, are suspected of supporting the organization, they said.
Weekly Der Spiegel reported that locations searched include the barracks of Germany's special forces unit KSK in the southwestern town of Calw. The unit has in the past been scrutinized over alleged far-right involvement by some soldiers.
Federal prosecutors declined to confirm or deny that the barracks was searched.
Along with detentions in Germany, prosecutors said that one person was detained in the Austrian town of Kitzbuehel and another in the Italian city of Perugia.
Prosecutors said those detained are alleged to last year have formed a "terrorist organization with the goal of overturning the existing state order in Germany and replace it with their own form of state, which was already in the course of being founded."
The suspects were aware that their aim could only be achieved by military means and with force, prosecutors said.
They are alleged to have believed in a "conglomerate of conspiracy theories consisting of narratives from the so-called Reich Citizens as well as QAnon ideology," according to a statement by prosecutors. They added that members of the group also believe Germany is ruled by a so-called 'deep state;' similar baseless claims about the United States were made by former President Donald Trump.
Prosecutors identified the suspected ringleaders as Heinrich XIII P. R. and Ruediger v. P., in line with German privacy rules. Der Spiegel reported that the former was a well-known 71-year-old member of a minor German noble family, while the latter was a 69-year-old former paratrooper.
Federal prosecutors said Heinrich XIII P. R., whom the group planned to install as Germany's new leader, had contacted Russian officials with the aim of negotiating a new order in the country once the German government was overthrown. He was allegedly assisted in this by a Russian woman, Vitalia B.
"According to current investigations there is no indication however that the persons contacted responded positively to his request," prosecutors said.
A further person detained by police Wednesday was identified by prosecutors as Birgit M.-W. Der Spiegel reported that the woman is a judge and former lawmaker with the far-right Alternative for Germany party.
The party, known by its German acronym AfD, has increasingly come under scrutiny by German security services due to its ties with extremists.

Belagavi: Elected Women Representatives Empowerment - Food Security Aid Map · NGO Aid Map
Belagavi: Elected Women Representatives Empowerment
THP works in 30 Gram Panchayats in two blocks in Belagavi.The SWEEP (Strengthening Women's Empowerment in Electoral Processes) program is an intensive campaign and capacity-building strategy for awareness raising among women throughout rural India. Through meetings, film screenings, and workshops, THP-India seeks to empower the women citizens to access their rights as voters, and leaders. In identifying potential leaders, staff members are able to make connections with engaged and motivated women who could potentially run for office for reserved seats in their panchayats. In the first half of 2015, 9 of these type of events were held, with 12 already elected women representatives directly engaging with 341 potential women leaders
The Hunger Project, in partnership with many local civil society organizations, has trained more than 79,000 elected women representatives. Examples of the activities within this strategy include: Empowering Women in Elections: To encourage voter participation among women and nominations of potential women leaders, The Hunger Project conducts intensive pre-election campaigns. SWEEP (Strengthening Women's Empowerment in Electoral Processes) campaigns include meetings, film screenings, street plays, door-to-door contacts, trainings and distribution of posters and pamphlets. Federations for Advocacy and Mutual Empowerment: To empower women leaders and their communities, The Hunger Project supports the formation of federations among their elected leaders to voice their concerns as a collective unit. Mobilizing the Media to Support Women Leaders: To highlight the work of women leaders and Panchayati Raj, The Hunger Project actively engages with the media and annually awards the Sarojini Naidu Prize, showcasing the efforts being made by the elected women and recognizes three journalists reporting on their work in Hindi, English and other Indian language categories.
The Hunger Project has been active in India since 1984 and currently works across six states, 54 districts, and more than 2,000 village clusters (panchayats). In response to the 73rd Amendment to the Indian Constitution that mandated that one-third of all seats in panchayats be reserved for women, The Hunger Project developed its comprehensive strategy, the Panchayati Raj Campaign. The Hunger Project's approach of mobilizing people for self-reliant action, empowering women as key change agents and engaging with local government has provided the solid foundation upon which to expand local development initiatives throughout the seven states of India in which THP is present.

Q: Finding angles with shared hypotenuse I have two RA triangles with a shared common hypotenuse. Given the lengths of the opposite sides of the two right-angle triangles, $a_1$ and $a_2$, and the sum of both angles, $\theta$, how can I calculate each angle, $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$?
Mick answered a similar inquiry years ago but with known adjacent sides but I have known opposite sides.
Thanks.

A: Note that
$$c=\frac{a_1}{\sin \theta_1}=\frac{a_2}{\cos \theta_2}=\frac{a_2}{\cos (\theta - \theta_1)}$$
Rearrange,
$$\frac{a_2}{a_1} = \cos\theta\cot\theta_1  +\sin\theta$$
Solve for the angle $\theta_1$
$$\cot\theta_1 = \frac{a_2}{a_1} \sec\theta -\tan\theta\implies
\theta_1=\cot^{-1}\left(\frac{a_2}{a_1} \sec\theta -\tan\theta\right)$$
and then $\theta_2=\theta - \theta_1$.

I was looking at ClearMem on major geeks and it was given a good wrap. But I thought I will look at the home page. Im glad I did there is no mention that it was made by shane the one that made Windows Repair. Old mate from major geek realy pitched it like it was the best thing since sliced bread. I had IE just stalling and wouldnt stop but may as well have. I went to download version 1.9.3 from major geek but could only get version 1.8 cause 1.9.3 has no digital signature. Not that I really know what that means Im a metal fabricator but W7 warned me to not run it and my AV jumped on it and chewed it up and through it out. So im guessing the no signature is bad so i end up after wasting an hr or so using vers 1.8 . Well I only wanted it to repair IE that's the only box i checked. Well a day and a half later after having to do a fresh install the restore point and reg backup couldn't roll it to how it was prior to running windows repair. And before i hear you must have had malware or something else wrong. I used 3 diff scanners prior and submitted a hijackthis log to very reputable forum. No problems could be found after running windows repair not only did IE not get fixed but but just about everything else wouldn't work properly except the on/off button. I tried rolling it back restoring registry went back to previous restore points but no better. I submitted another hijackthis log and my registry was all clogged up like chewing gum in a girl guides pony tail with tweeking.com threads everywhere. It was a bloody nightmare like i would think people would just be fair dinkum. I dont know about computers and thought ok they would do the right thing if it works for me I am willing to throw $50 in the bucket for the hand not hav the drama i had. Thats like me giving stainless electrodes to weld bissaloy looks nice then when u look over it at the end of a days welding the whole lot has short cracked and nothing is fused together u gotta grind it all out and try again. I wouldnt do that to my worst enemy . I dont know but Id like to think this wasnt a planned desired outcome of running windows repair. I u want to ask or discuss it shane by all means im happy to but i must say im so glad ur online and not at the shop down the road from me here in Aust .
OK Cheers thats my two bobs worth and will not use another tweek/tune or repair utility ever. I will stick with my full paid vers of AV and stick with whatever bill gates's boys develope. Back yard dodgy bros ill avoid like the plague.
no problems whatsoever-it just plain works!
but you are safe with cleanmem mate I assure you!
Not sure why you posted here about cleanmem when all you mention was my repair tool lol.
My repair tool has been ran on almost 1 million machines and is used in a ton of repair shops, I am very happy about that. The IE repair you ran does nothing but register IE's files. It wouldn't have done anything to screw up the system. Not to mention if you did a registry backup before hand you could have put the registry back to what it was before the repair. No files are removed or touched with that repair, only the registry from registering those files.
It may have not been any infection that got in the way. Not every scanner finds everything. At the same time if there was a bad sector on the drive that would cause a bloody mess, that's why I have the program ask you to scan the drive first.
As for downloading the program with IE they want programmers to pay for a security cert. Also out of the millions of programs out there if your not on their well known list they auto block it. You can simply click more info when IE pops that up and say download anyways.
My program wouldn't be getting as popular as it is if it broke peoples machines. Word of mouth is the best way.

Disruptive tenants are on notice to clean up their act if they wish to remain in public housing, with the NSW Government today toughening its stance on antisocial behaviour by directing those who do the wrong thing to seek help.
Minister for Social Housing Pru Goward said that changes to the Antisocial Behaviour Management Policy will require disruptive tenants to prove they have connected with a support service, which they will be linked to by the Department of Family and Community Services, within two weeks.
Tenants who do not comply and connect with that support service will receive an immediate strike under the NSW Government's 'three strikes' policy. Ms Goward said the new rules would put the responsibility on antisocial tenants to change their behaviour and sustain their tenancy.
The new policy is part of the NSW Government's commitment to combat bad behaviour in public housing, with a bill currently before Parliament that seeks to place bonds on tenants who cause damage in public housing and evict those convicted of rental fraud.


Read on for behind-the-scenes research, historical tidbits, inspirations, and fun facts about the "making of" my books!
For those interested in my book Highlander's Ransom, I wanted to share the real-life inspiration for Laird Robert Sinclair's castle. Though my depiction of Roslin Castle in the book is fictitious, I was picturing Dunnottar Castle as I wrote!
Dunnottar sits on Scotland's eastern coast, south of Aberdeen. Before the stunning castle ever perched on these cliffs over the North Sea, it was the site of a Pictish fort in the 3rd century, and a target of Viking raids in the 9th century. The castle was built in the 13th century, and was captured by William Wallace in 1297.
Over the centuries, it was visited by monarchs like Mary Queen of Scots and James VI, but eventually it fell into disrepair. Yet the ruins have been preserved and still stand today--some day I hope to see them in person!
You can also check out more images of Dunnottar Castle, along with other inspirations for Highlander's Ransom, the rest of the Sinclair Brothers Trilogy, or any of my other books, over on my Pinterest page.

Thundercat @ The Hoxton
Vanessa Francis· September 28, 2015
Sunday night at the Hoxton was a special night for anyone in attendance. Thundercat, along with his band consisting of a keyboardist and a drummer, took the stage and completely took over the vibe of the small club. Thundercat recently visited Toronto on tour with Flying Lotus when they brought the You're Dead! tour to Danforth Music Hall. But this time was much different, a solo Thundercat performance proved to be much more intimate. Giving fans exactly what they wanted, Thundercat played various cuts from his debut project Apocalypse and his most recent release The Beyond / Where The Giants Roam. He also performed some of his contributions from Flying Lotus' You're Dead and Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly. After graciously thanking the crowd for supporting his craft, Thundercat descended from the stage leaving everyone wanting more. Love magic spells

UW profs attempt to explain away devastating free speech survey results
A January 2021 survey found that 52% of economically liberal students support restricting speech that makes others uncomfortable
Now, three UW professors are trying to explain away those results.
Angela Morabito | Spokeswoman, Defense of Freedom Institute
Wednesday, February 24, 2021 12:36 PM
After a study revealed shockingly little support for free speech among University of Wisconsin undergraduates, three professors authored an op-ed claiming that the study is flawed and should not be used to say that left-leaning students have flimsy support for the First Amendment.
The study's results painted a bleak picture of students' understanding of the First Amendment across political lines, and severely so for those who identified as economically left-leaning. For instance, researchers found, "41.7% of very liberal respondents supported speech restrictions while only 14.5% of very conservative respondents did."
Three professors at the University of Wisconsin's Department of Political Science and the La Follette School of Public Affairs - Mark Copelovitch, Jon C.W. Pevehouse, and Jessica L.P. Weeks - claimed that students who support restrictions on hate speech and other objectionable or offensive speech may still have a good understanding of the First Amendment.
[RELATED: SURVEY: 63 percent of students at this school say gov't should punish 'hate speech']
The survey asked 530 undergraduate students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison if they believe that some types of speech should be restricted and if government should have the authority to punish certain types of objectionable speech. Of that group, 18 percent of students who identified as very conservative said that the government should be able to punish hate speech, while 75 percent of very liberal students said the same. The professors argued that, because "threatening or abusive speech is subject to limitations under the First Amendment," legal punishment of hate speech may not violate the constitutional right to speak freely.
The Supreme Court disagrees with the professors' assessment of the legality of hate speech. It has repeatedly upheld the right to speak freely - even when that right is used to engage in speech that is hateful, offensive, or otherwise morally wrong. As described by UCLA Law professor Eugene Volokh in Reason, threats of violence are illegal, "but that doesn't allow the punishment of supposed hate speech."
[RELATED: Free speech advocate blasts Syracuse University's 'PC campus culture']
The faculty also took issue with a survey question on government regulation of "speech that makes others feel uncomfortable," which left-leaning students supported at a higher rate than their right-leaning peers.
According to the professors, the question "could be interpreted as referring to sexual harassment, which is not protected by the First Amendment." The professors argue that, since students might take this description to mean sexual harassment - and not any other kind of speech that could potentially make someone uncomfortable - they do not necessarily oppose free speech.
The op-ed notes a data point the professors see as a positive: Eighty-eight percent of students agreed that "one person should not be able to prevent another person from speaking because they hold an opposing view."
Still, that leaves more than one out of every ten students who believe they should have the right to silence those with whom they disagree.

Ephrem Tamiru and Gossaye Tesfaye - Balageru (Ethiopian Music)
Ethiopian music video: Ephrem Tamiru and Gossaye Tesfaye - Balageru
Ethiopia is a country of traditional music. The music of Ethiopia is extremely diverse, with each of Ethiopia's ethnic groups being associated with unique sounds. Ethiopian music uses a distinct modal system that is pentatonic with characteristically long intervals between some notes. The music of the Ethiopian Highlands uses a fundamental modal system called Qenet, of which there are four main modes - Tezeta, Bati, Ambassel, and Anchihoy. Contemporary music has been gaining ground since the 1960s. However, most musicians who produce modern songs also sing traditional songs because there is a huge audience for it. The production of vinyl records was discontinued in 1978 in Ethiopia. Their disappearance starting in 1974 also ended, from the haptic side, a decidedly creative and fruitful stage in the history of Ethiopian music. The first blow came in 1974 when Emperor Haile Selassie was deposed a communist regime took power. The hitherto flourishing nightlife in Addis Ababa was harassed with closings, prohibitions, and raids, and music in general, especially decadent Western dance music, was declared superfluous and undesirable. This situation led to more and more musicians and activists leaving the country. From 1978, the Ethiopian music market finally belonged to the most cheaply produced or illegally copied cassette. The period from 1969 to 1974, however, is considered a miraculous explosion of musical creativity, for which there are hardly any equivalents in the global context. Addis Ababa was raging with soul, funk, fusion and jazz, every now and then even a little rock. The musicians moved with great sovereignty through the Western stylistics, but without imitations. They used Western stylistic elements to achieve higher goals. It seemed to be more about serving the rich treasure of Ethiopian music, its scales, and vocal styles by providing new musical environments. In 1969, a young man named Amha Eshete founded Amha Records. Shortly thereafter, other producers emerged, including Phillips, Armenian businessman Muse Garbis Garbadian, and Kaifa Records by Ali Abdallah Kaifa, who was also known as Ali Tango. Amha Eshete produced about over one hundred singles and a few LPs for the Hager Fikir Band, the Army Band, the Police Orchestra, and private groups such as the Ibex Band. These bands worked with legendary Ethiopian musicians such as Tilahun Gessesse, Alemayehu Eshete, Hirut Bekele, Bizunesh Bekele, Ayalew Mesfin, Mahmoud Ahmed, and Getachew Kasa, Muluken Melese. Ali Kaifa played an important role in the emergence of native Ethiopian music production. He produced music for the Shebelle Band, Sensation Band, Dahlak Band, Black Lion Band, and the Police Orchestra. He also promoted young talents such as Hamelmal Abate, Neway Debebe, Aster Kebede, and Aster Aweke.

Staunch, rectilinear, plain in the way of early New England buildings, the white-painted house feels elemental in the beautiful historic New England landscape. In its entirety, the village of Head Tide, Maine, is listed in the National Register. Contributing to the honor is this two-storey, hipped-roof manor with twin chimneys, 12-over-12 windows, and pilasters at the vernacular Greek Revival entry.
Walk through the front door, however, and you may be in for a surprise: These old rooms framed by posts and beams, with raised paneling and pumpkin-pine floors, are furnished in chrome, glass, and leather that evoke Marcel Breuer and Le Corbusier, icons of a different age. Tubular steel chairs and stripped-down tables lightly occupy the space with modest grace. It's an unexpectedly successful marriage of periods—and entirely intentional.
Donham points out that beams on the 1790 dining-room side of the house have the adze marks of hand hewing, while beams framing the 1805 side show that a sawmill was operating by then.
"The village is located where the Sheepscot River changes from fresh to salt water," Donham says. "In the 18th century, it was known as 'Head of the Tide', the perfect place for a dam." Donham reports that the town today has eight houses, plus a church, a former schoolhouse, two barn or warehouse structures, and a general store with a dance hall above.
When Brett and Priscilla bought the house, it was in poor condition. "The sills were rotted, both chimneys were in danger of collapse, the roof leaked, the basement flooded after each rainstorm"; Donham's list goes on. For years, the house had been a decaying eyesore in the picturesque village. The couple began by restoring structural elements and installing new systems.
"A house this old has been added to and altered many times, thus an authentic restoration would have been a matter of great speculation," says Donham. "There wasn't enough of the original fabric left on the inside to be totally confident what was original and what wasn't. We rebuilt it in the spirit of the old." For new panels, shelves, and cabinets, these owners used 100-year-old pine boards. They replaced non-original ceiling and wall surfaces with new plaster and paneling; installed a half bath on the first floor; and converted a large greenhouse addition on the back into a supplementary dining room big enough for their children and grandchildren to assemble.
But the first order of business, Donham says, was to climb up on the roof to remove the dish antenna. "Then I took off all the aluminum combination storm windows. We replaced them with interior storms. Once again, from outside, the old windows reflect light from each little pane of glass, so important for an old house." He adds that the exterior was painted olive drab when they bought the house; they painted it white, in village tradition.
Donham's downtown Boston architectural firm, Donham & Sweeney, has designed substantial buildings including churches, housing complexes, fire stations, and town halls. Donham says he has no one favorite architectural style; he likes anything that is done well, though he confesses leaning toward both early American architecture and Modernist design.

BBC to stop give equal airtime to climate deniers
Green Blog posted a article in Business & Politics
Climate change deniers, as well as people who are skeptical against other forms of established science, will from now on be given much less coverage from the BBC. The move comes after the release of an independent progress report (pdf) from the BBC Trust, the governing body of the public service broadcasting network. The report criticised the BBC for giving too much airtime to unqualified people with "marginal views" on non-controversial scientific facts, such as climate change, in a misguided effort to provide impartiality and editorial balance.

what you see is the code of the CreditCard
The use can skip enterening the Credit Card information when SignUp so it will be null credit card
As you can see here
so what to do to skip the validation of null credit card

A:
what you see is the code of the CreditCard The use can skip enterening
the Credit Card information when SignUp so it will be null credit
card. so what to do to skip the validation of null credit card?

Well, you might wonder,  ModelState.IsValid construct and its executed before hitting the controller so, IsValid always be false unless you define any property nullable explicitely in your model, threfor, yes of course here in controller CreditCard? nullable would ignored. As model binding and model validation occur before the execution of a controller action or a Razor Pages handler method. It's the app's responsibility to inspect ModelState.IsValid and react appropriately. So you should use credit card nullablity inside your model rather in controller because compiler comes first on the model then the controller. Thus, if you would like to CreditCard property to be null, therefore, you should set the property null in model not in controller.
Model
public class CreditCard
{

    public string? CNumber { get; set; }
    public int? CCV { get; set; }
    public DateTime? ExpireDate { get; set; }
    [Key]
    public int CustomerId { get; set; }
    [ValidateNever]
    public Customer? customer { get; set; }

}

Note: As you can see I have set public string? CNumber means while submission this propeerty will not be validate. Hence, it will not be considerate on controller as well. If you need more information, you could have a look on our official document here.
Output
Let's check above statements in action, Here, be informed that, I haven't set any nullable annotation on property in model and now if I submit with null value it will not hit the controller as you can see below:

Soon after, when I set nullability on CNumber it's hitting controller even with null value. As can be seen below:

Note: Please have a look on this official document.

nbn™: criteria for copper remediation revealed
May 29, 2015 June 1, 2015 Kenneth Tsang 2 Comments
Service may only reach the speed range once within 24 hours
The company building the National Broadband Network, nbn, has released details how it proposes to classify premises where "remediation is required".
In the most recent draft of the Wholesale Broadband Agreement (WBA 2.2) released Access Seekers for FTTN Business Readiness Testing, nbn revealed that "NBN Co will designate that Remediation is required" where "25 Mbps downstream and 5 Mbps upstream for all bandwidth profiles other than 12 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream". The company also included an exception clause for the Fibre to the Node network where the speed is limited to 12/1 Mbps during the co-existence "transition" period.
While a premises is being designated for remediation, nbn™ says that speeds may be "significantly less than" the speeds ordered by the customer.
NBN Co outlines how premises that require remediation are classified
The company has also revealed for ranging speed tiers such as those used for the Fibre to the Node and Fibre to the Basement products, the performance criteria for the Peak Information Rate (PIR) may only be reached the specified range "once" within a 24 hour period.

However, this performance guarantee applies only applies to the network that nbn™ provides to the service providers. Additional factors such as service contention set by service provider may further degrade services received by the end user.
nbn™: FTTN limited to 12/1 Mbps during transition
May 29, 2015 June 3, 2015 Kenneth Tsang 12 Comments
While legacy services such as ADSL2+ exist on the Telstra copper network, speeds will be limited to reduce interference.
Despite what the documentations says, nbn™ has now denied (on the record) that they will "limit" speeds to 12/1. Please refer to this post here for more information.
In the most recent draft of the Wholesale Broadband Agreement (WBA 2.2) released Access Seekers for FTTN Business Readiness Testing, nbn has revealed that speeds will be limited to 12/1 Mbps during the so-called "Co-existence Period" on the Fibre to the Node network.
During this period, all bandwidth profiles will be restricted to reduce interference with existing legacy services that run on the Telstra network. A similar limitation will apply to Fibre to the Basement, however, the maximum speed will be limited to 25/5 Mbps rather than 12/1 Mbps.
Table showing the speed limitations for FTTN/FTTB during Co-existence Period
In the document, the company said that the speeds will continue to be limited until "NBN Co is satisfied that Downstream Power Back-off is no longer required":
11.5 Co-existence Period
NBN Co will disable Downstream Power Back-off in respect of an NBN Co Node when NBN Co is satisfied that Downstream Power Back-off is no longer required in respect of that part of the NBN Co FTTB Network or NBN Co FTTN Network (as the case may be). The Co-existence Period for Ordered Products supplied by means of that NBN Co Node will cease at such time.
FTTN BRT Special Terms – WBA 2.2 Draft – NEBS Product Description
Despite explicit wording of the documentation, however, a spokesperson for nbn™ has denied to technology publication ZDNet that they will limit speeds. Instead, they have indicated that they will guarantee speeds of at least 12/1 mbps.
During the period when NBN is upgrading a suburb with ADSL to VDSL2 speeds will not be limited to 12/1Mbps. During this so-called 'co-existence period' line speeds on the NBN FttN service will still be substantially faster than those being delivered via ADSL2+ from the exchange
Josh Taylor, ZDNet: NBN will only guarantee 12Mbps speeds during FttN transition
For customers who live close to the exchange, the speed attainable over the Fibre to the Node network may actually be lower during the "Co-existence period" than what's possible over their existing ADSL2+ service. The typical theoretical maximum speed for ADSL2+ is 24/1 Mbps and is delivered from the Telstra exchange.
ADSL and special services will "co-exist" with FTTN/FTTB during the transitional Co-existence Period
However, since the duration of the Co-existence period varies depending in the area still using ADSL or special services – customers who experience greater speeds over ADSL2+ (greater than the 12/1 Mbps offered) would still need to migrate to NBN before NBN Co can declare the "Co-existence period" over.
Once the Co-existence Period is over, nbn™ will provide 12/1 Mbps and 25/5 Mbps speed profiles similar to those on Fibre to the Premises with higher speeds only available as an "up-to" range. However, NBN Co also states in the document that it is considered acceptable if the customer only receives speeds set out in the PIR or PIR range "once" in 24 hours.

The ultimate name style guide for NBN Co Ltd
May 27, 2015 June 1, 2015 Kenneth Tsang 1 Comment
Thought you understood the terminology behind the National Broadband Network? Bets are that you probably don't even know what to call the name of the company.
Today, we look at the names that the company building the National Broadband Network uses and how confusing it can get:
What it means?
NBN Co Limited The actual (registered) company name for the company building the National Broadband Network
nbn The trading name of NBN Co Limited. Refers to the company
(nbn must be in bold!)
nbn™ An occasionally acceptable way to refer to the company, NBN Co Limited.
(nbn must be in bold, ™ is not in bold)
nbn™ Refers to the products and services of nbn, and not the company.
NBN Refers to the network that the company is building: the National Broadband Network
nbn co ltd Another name that refers to the company NBN Co Limited that's usually used in footers. Generally inconsistent usage
NBN Co Used to refer to the company NBN Co Limited before the rebranding.
nbn spent $700,000 to rebrand their company late April, in a hope to "streamline" the brand. But in truth, it has probably caused more confusion than anything. Hopefully, this guide has helped clear up some of the ambiguities of calling the company.
But if in doubt, just continue to use NBN Co. No one really cares.
Help! I only have pen and paper… how do I write nbn in bold?
Just continue to using "NBN Co". No one really cares.
Help! I don't have a rich text editor… how do I write nbn in bold?
Publisher's note: This, in no way, constitutes the view of nbn, nbn™, nbn co ltd, NBN Co or NBN Co Limited (or however you want to write it). If you haven't realised by now, I find this naming convention absolutely crazy and unnecessarily confusing.
With the "level of confuse" I have right now, I probably got something wrong up in that table. Please let me know if I do 🙂
Update: nbn™ 3.5GHz LTE test sites
May 27, 2015 June 1, 2015 Kenneth Tsang Leave a comment
As reported earlier on jxeeno blog, nbn™ has begun testing the use of the 3.5GHz spectrum for Fixed Wireless in outer metropolitan areas.
The ACMA has updated the list of NBN Fixed Wireless towers where 3.5GHz transmitter and receivers have been installed:
Tower Location
ACMA site ID
51 Jupp St PROSERPINE Queensland 9017726
10 Morang Crescent MITCHELL PARK Victoria 9015336
Earlier, ZDNet reported that the antenna design for the 3.5GHz network will be similar to a "baseball mit":
"that the antennas installed on top of the premises as part of the trial were designed similar to a "baseball mitt" in that although the 3.5GHz beam is relatively narrow, the capture of it on the antenna was wide to ensure that line to sight between the NBN Co tower and the premises' antenna was maintained."
Josh Taylor, ZDNet: NBN Co tests 3.5GHz LTE
However, the Department of Defense had raised concerns that utilising the 3.5GHz spectrum may interfere with radar capabilities.
While the actual assigned spectrum is 3.56GHz, the assignments were issued under nbn™'s existing 3.4GHz license which it acquired from the now defunct Austar satellite TV company. A full list of ACMA assignments can be found here.
The end of an era: FTTP rollout comes to an end
Multi-Technology Mix replaces the full Fibre to the Premises rollout
It's been known for some time that the Fibre to the Premises rollout will come to a head. As expected after the introduction of the Multi-Technology Mix (MTM) rollout strategy as directed by the Government's Statement of Expectations to nbn™, the FTTP rollout era is expected to end next month in June. According to the 18 month rollout plan released to service providers in March, there will be no more FSAMs (Fibre Serving Area Modules) expected to commence build beyond June 2015 encompassing a "pure" Fibre to the Premises rollout.
The past two months (March and April) saw a consecutive lows of 4 FSAMs entering into build preparation phase. The 19,900 lucky premises over the past two months are one of the final groups of communities to get the full FTTP rollout. Provided that nbn™ doesn't remove them from the map again, these areas are expected to commence build within the next 2 months.
One final rollout region, somewhere in the Wollongong Fixed-Line Serving Area, is expected to be the final FSAM to enter into the build preparation phase this month and appear on the rollout map in June. From there on in, it is expected that nbn™ will transition to the MTM, dropping the word "Fibre" from "Fibre Serving Area Module", releasing Service Area Modules (SAMs) that will encompass multiple technologies in a single module.
nbn™ proposes satellite fees: rural customers lose out again
May 4, 2015 June 1, 2015 Kenneth Tsang Leave a comment
nbn™ has clarified some of the contents of the original post. The post has been updated in light of this new information.
As part of nbn™'s industry consultation on the Long Term Satellite Service launching next year, the company released a list of proposed charges for the satellite service to Access Seekers (service providers) for feedback last Friday. A summary table was released to the public this morning.
The table lists a number of new proposed charges, including a reactivation fee, installation, installer travel costs and a range of late or missed appointment fees.
Table 2: showing some proposed charges for the NBN Long Term Satellite
Under the proposed charges, the company will charge the customer through the internet service provider an installation fee based on the distance the installer has to travel (charged at $1.40/km) and also pay an hourly rate for the time they spent driving and installing the equipment (at $98/hour). This is in contrast with nbn™'s current cost structure for the Fixed Wireless and Fixed-Line products where the installation is free for the customer.


I found this on Mrs. B's site the other day. I just love it.
Is there anything more beautiful in life than a young couple clasping hands and pure hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be anything more beautiful than young love?
Yes, there is a more beautiful thing.
It is the spectacle of an old man and an old woman finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands are gnarled, but still clasped; their faces are seamed, but still radiant; their hearts are physically bowed and tired, but still strong with love and devotion for one another.
Oh my goodness. I love that. Thank you for the reminder and Happy Valentines Day.
Sorry this has nothing to do with this post. I skimmed your blog and found the post on beloved bloggers who 'quit'. Mrs. Catherine posts at www.catherinestaat.wordpress.com. I was only surprised to find her after googling her name. Maybe I can do that with Kelly Wilt.
I really love this post. As my husband and I have been blessed to share our lives together I look forward to many more that our Heavenly Father bless us with.
We still hold hands and touch each other in public.
We get many compliments from the younger couples and singles.
