IDCARE has joined the Safer Internet Day 2019 campaign.
In the spirit of the theme "Together for a better internet", all Australians are encouraged to collaborate with their communities and support each other in developing the critical skills required for navigating the online world.
This year, the campaign will be focusing on the 4Rs of online safety, and protective measures that can be put in place to ensure safe internet use.
To assist in creating a safe internet for people to enjoy, respect is crucial.
Research conducted by the eSafetyOffice tells us that 1 in 5 Australian children experience cyberbullying.
Respect is not just about respect for others, it is also about respect for oneself. People should understand that everything hey do on the internet creates their digital footstep, and respect for oneself will allow this digital footprint to be a positive reflection of themselves.
There is a lot that goes into being responsible online. It means protecting privacy, knowing your rights and responsibilities, thinking about the impact of online actions, and staying within the law.
If you are experiencing harassment online, either block or report the user.
If someone sends you a link that seems unusual, it is your responsibility to not click on it and investigate further.
It is often quite difficult to discern what information is true or false. It is very important that people question the validity of information posed to them particularly via the internet.Internet users need to cultivate critical reasoning skills so they more likely to have positive and safe experiences online.
This is particularly relevant in terms of scams. Criminals are constantly adjusting their methods in order to trick internet users into falling for their scams. By having the skills to critically reason with information posed by scammers, people are less likely to be impacted by scams.
Internet use opens up the possibility of danger and harm. Often, people do become affected by negative events online, and to recover from these, resilience is important. People need to learn solution-focused coping strategies to ensure they can recover from harmful situations.
Resilience is the ability to adapt and survive in a changing environment by implementing effective safety measures around online activity. Individuals must have the skills to efficiently prepare for, respond to and recover from online attacks in order to have online resilience.


The East New York Community Plan was presented by Department of City Planning Chair Carl Weisbrod, Housing Preservation and Development Commissioner Vicki Been, Economic Development Corporation President Maria Torres-Springer, Small Business Services Commissioner Gregg Bishop, and Department of City Planning Executive Director Purnima Kapur.
Together, the panel provided lengthy testimony on the details of the East New York Community Plan. The Plan would provide for the construction of 6,400 residential units by 2024—the last year of the Mayor's Housing New York plan. Half of these units would be affordable to families earning up to 60 percent of the area median income, or AMI, which is the equivalent of $42,620 per year for a family of three. The Plan would prioritize the construction of 1,200 affordable housing units in the first two years on City-owned property, which allows for the provision of deeper levels of affordability than privately owned property.
In addition to the construction of new affordable units, the area rezoned under the Plan would receive a cut of the City's $1 billion Neighborhood Development Fund to invest into the infrastructure that supports the growing East New York population. The Plan would also provide for the opening of a new East New York Workforce1 Center, where neighborhood jobseekers would be able to receive job placement and training services.
The Rezoning Plan would require the construction of more affordable housing than required under the Mayor's proposed Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program, which is still under the Council's consideration. However, the Plan still relies heavily on the passage of the MIH program. The Administration anticipates subsidizing 100 percent affordable housing developments over the next few years, but is relying on the MIH program to pick up where it leaves off by requiring future, unsubsidized housing developments be 25 percent permanently affordable.
Subcommittee Chair Donovan Richards questioned the panel about the local hiring requirements set forth in the Plan, and noted that developers and contactors receiving $2 million or more in subsidies from the City should be required to post available jobs at the local East New York Workforce1 Center.
According to Been, if approved, East New York would be the "first neighborhood scale implementation" of the Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program, which is currently still awaiting Council approval. She made a point to correct recent press coverage on a report issued by Comptroller Scott M. Stringer claiming that the Plan would cause the displacement of 50,000 East New York residents by testifying that instead, the accurate statistic is that, "50,000 people are already at risk of displacement." Her testimony sought to drive home the point that unless affordable housing is built and regulated, East New York will quickly face gentrification and will see its long-time residents priced out of their homes.
As the representative for East New York, Council Member Rafael Espinal's approval or disapproval of the plan will form the crux of the compromise the Mayor's Administration will likely have to make in order to garner the Council's approval. Among Council Member Espinal's major concerns is the Administration's plan to ensure local jobs are created and job training is provided. He seeks provisions requiring a living wage, local hiring requirements, and job training programs for local residents.
Opponents of the plan, including Council Member Inez Barron, who represents a small area of Brooklyn that would be affected by the plan, argue that the levels of affordability promised are not deep enough, as the median income for the affected neighborhood is below $35,000, which is well below 60 percent AMI.

As a franchisee, when you make a sale, you are required to pay a percentage of the revenue to your franchisor. This is known as a "royalty," and it is a hallmark of the franchise relationship.
But, are you also required to share a portion of your profits with…another franchisee? In some franchise systems, franchisors institute fees that are commonly referred to as "profit passovers." Essentially, when one franchisee makes a sale in another franchisee's territory, the selling franchisee must "pass over" a portion of the profits to the owner of the territory. This is most common in systems with what are known as "areas of primary responsibility" – non-exclusive territories in which franchisees are incentivized to focus their marketing activities.
Why Are Profit Passovers Required?
The theory behind profit passovers is that they are intended to compensate the non-selling franchisee for future sale-related obligations. Profit passovers are most common in product-based franchise systems, where franchisees are often responsible for service, warranty and other obligations owed to customers in their areas of primary responsibility. Since the non-selling franchisee now bears a risk of loss in the event of a service or warranty call, that franchisee – at least in theory – deserves to be compensated for the sale.
When is a Profit Passover Requirement in a Franchise Agreement Unlawful?
However, profit passovers can raise certain antitrust implications as well. When franchisees profit less from sales made in other franchisees' territories, they are disincentivized to make extra-territorial sales. This means that so-called "intrabrand" competition is less likely, and this means that consumers may end up being forced to pay non-competitive pricing.
As a result, in order to be legally enforceable, as a general principle profit passover provisions should be carefully tied to the non-selling franchisee's actual potential costs. When profit passover provisions bear no demonstrable relation to the non-selling franchisee's costs, they are more likely to constitute penalties in restraint of trade.
In many cases, franchisors – especially those with immature systems – will essentially choose arbitrary profit passover rates. This can be a mistake, and one that can justify franchisees in bringing antitrust actions against their franchisors.
Do You Need to Challenge the Profit Passover Provision in Your Franchise Agreement?
If your franchise agreement contains a profit passover provision, it is worth having your franchise agreement reviewed by an experienced attorney. Franchise attorney Jeffrey M. Goldstein regularly assesses franchise agreements both for prospective franchisees and in the context of litigation, and with over 30 years of experience, is intimately familiar with the antitrust and other complex issues involved in many one-sided franchise relationships. If your franchise agreement's profit passover provision is unlawful, you should not have to pay, and Jeffrey M. Goldstein can help you seek appropriate redress through arbitration or in the courts.

On Saturday, July 17, one of the longest serving members of the Catholicosate Brotherhood and the first Prelate of the Western Prelacy Archbishop Sumbat Lapajian entered eternal rest at Ararat Home in Mission Hills.
Western Prelate Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian presided over the wake service which was held on the evening of Sunday, July 25, at Holy Cross Cathedral in Montebello. Participating in the service were Prelate of the Eastern Prelacy Archbishop Oshagan Choloyan, Archbishop Yeprem Tabakian, Very Rev. Father Muron Aznikian, Primate of the Western Diocese Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Archbishop Vatche Hovsepian, Archbishop Mikayel Achabahian, Very Rev. Father Baret Yeretsian, Very Rev. Father Kegham Zakarian, and clergy members.
Following the service, the late Archbishop's English biography was read by Holy Cross Cathedral Board of Trustees Chair Dr. Hagop Dikranian.
Archbishop Tabakian paid tribute to Archbishop Lapajian, recalling his life and service to the Armenian Church.
Archbishop Lapajian was laid to rest at Holy Cross Cathedral on the morning of Monday, July 26. The Prelate conducted the funeral mass, with the participation of Archbishop Oshagan Choloyan, Catholicosate Vicar of Kuwait and the Gulf Archbishop Gorun Babian, Archbishop Yeprem Tabakian, Archbishop Vatche Hovsepian, Eparch of the Catholic Church Bishop Manuel Batakian, Mekhitarist Fathers, head of the Syriac Orthodox Church Archbishop Eugene Kaplan, Minister of the Armenian Evangelical Union of N. America Rev. Joe Matossian, clergy, and deacons. Among the more than 400 faithful in attendance were Catholicosate Central Executive member Khajag Dikijian, Executive and Religious Councils' members, delegates, Boards of Trustees and Ladies Auxiliary members, and representatives of the ARF, ARS, and Homenetmen.
The funeral mass began with the reading of the late Archbishop's Armenian biography by parish pastor Rev. Fr. Ashod Kambourian.
Prior to the Kiss of Peace, and with the reading of Psalms, the casket was led to the altar for the Extreme Unction service, during which the Prelate anointed the forehead and right hand of Archbishop Lapajian. The casket was then rotated four times to face the four corners of the world, symbolizing the last greetings of the late Archbishop to the church, clergy, and faithful.
Archbishop Babian then read the condolence letter of H.H. Catholicos Aram I, in which he exalted the virtues of Archbishop Lapajian, remembering him as a kind, compassionate, and humble clergyman.
The Prelate delivered the eulogy, exalting Archbishop Lapajian as a remarkable man and clergyman who devoted his life, heart, and soul to working for our Lord.
He remembered him as a humble and faithful servant of God, a simple and kind man who related to every one and empathized with every one, thus earning the love, respect, and admiration of the community. He spoke of him as a dedicated son of the Armenian church and nation, whose life and service bore witness to his deep love and devotion to our Lord and our church. He was a devoted pastor and spiritual leader, who was always there, in good times and in bad, and who was more like a family member to many in his congregation. He was an effective leader, who as the first Prelate of the Western Prelacy was instrumental in the establishment of a number of parishes and schools. He was a talented teacher who influenced the lives of countless students from Lebanon to the United States, and an exceptional preacher of the Word of God who dedicated his life to spreading the word of Christ, teaching it, and instilling it in his parishioners. "We are privileged to have had a clergyman like Archbishop Lapajian serve within the Western Prelacy for over four decades, and we are ever thankful for his many accomplishments and contributions to the advancement of our Prelacy and to the spiritual nourishment he provided to our community. He led a life of great service and leaves behind a legacy which will not be forgotten. Through our many fond memories, his influence will continue", said the Prelate.
As the choir sang during the Kiss of Peace, clergy members one by one ascended the altar and approached the casket to pay their final respects by kissing the late Archbishop's forehead and right hand. Clergy members then joined together to lower the casket from the altar to allow the faithful the opportunity to pay their respects as well.
Accompanied by prayer and the singing of hymns, the casket was led to the courtyard of the church. Given that Archbishop Lapajian spent a large part of his life serving the Holy Cross parish community, per his wishes and by the authorization of H.H. Catholicos Aram I, he was interred in the courtyard of Holy Cross Cathedral.
The service concluded with the singing of the Cilician anthem, after which the faithful to a memorial luncheon at "Bagramian" Hall, hosted by the Holy Cross Board of Trustees.
Following the opening prayer, Dr. Hagop Dikranian invited Archbishop Choloyan to offer his remarks. He reflected on the humility, goodness, and simplicity of Archbishop Lapajian, as well as his unwavering faith and devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Prior to a slide show chronicling the life and works of Archbishop Lapajian, L.A. City Council member Paul Krekorian, Archbishop Vatche Hovsepian, John Kossakian (representing the ARF Central Committee), Central Executive member Khajag Dikijian, Levon Kirakosian (representing the Executive Council), and Knar Baghdassarian (representing Holy Cross Cathedral Ladies Auxiliary) were invited to convey their sympathies. Letters of condolence from State Senator Carol Liu and President of Haigazian University Rev. Paul Haidostian were also read.
In memory of the late Archbishop, the "Holy Cross Archbishop Sumbat Lapajian Memorial Fund" has been established.
May his memory remain ever blessed.
Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).
With a heavy heart we are gathered in this sanctuary to pay our final respects to our beloved brother-in-Christ Archbishop Sumbat Lapajian, a remarkable man and clergyman who lived his life true to this Scripture passage, devoting his life, heart, and soul to working for the Lord.
It is said the measure of a life well-lived is through the lives they touched. If Archbishop Lapajian's life is to be measured by those he touched, then he lived a truly rewarding and purpose-filled life. Most of you here today had the good fortune of knowing him personally, and you all have your own personal memories of him.
Archbishop Lapajian was many things to many people, but he was first and foremost a humble and faithful servant of God. Having been orphaned at a very early age, he was raised at the Birds' Nest Orphanage under the guidance of Maria Jacobsen, who nurtured him and shaped him into the man he became. Rather than discourage him, his lot in life served only to strengthen him, inspire him, and prepare him for his calling and ministry to help others in need. Through hard work and dedication he rose to prominence, but he remained humble no matter what position or title he held. He was a simple man, a kind man who related to any and every one and empathized with his fellow man. This humility and sincerity earned him the love, respect, and admiration of all who knew him.
Archbishop Lapajian was a dedicated son of the Armenian church and nation. From early on, he felt a calling to serve God, the Armenian Church, and the Armenian people, and remained steadfast and unwavering in this calling and mission throughout six decades. He served with the same conviction and passion from the time of his arrival in the United States in the early 1960's until recent years, giving himself fully to the work of the Lord and to his flock. His life and service bore witness to his deep love for and devotion to our Lord and our Church.
He was a devoted pastor and spiritual leader. I am sure there are generations of families here who were baptized and wed by Archbishop Lapajian, or had him conduct funeral services for your loved ones. In good times and in bad, he was always there, whether to share in the joy of a birth or marriage, or the sorrow of a death. He was there to celebrate on joyous occasions, and there to console in times of sadness. To many of you he was more than a pastor; he was a family member, a father figure, a grandfather, a mentor, a friend who could be called upon at any given moment.
He was also an effective leader, who was the first Prelate elected to head the Western United Sates. During his tenure, and even prior to being elected Prelate, he was instrumental in the establishment of a number of parishes and schools which are thriving today, and set the foundation for the successes we have today.
He was a talented teacher who influenced the lives of many of his students in Lebanon and the United States. Understanding the value of an education, he dedicated himself to self-education after having to leave school at a young age to earn a living. He eventually returned to school, graduating from Haigazian University, and became a teacher himself. In the many years he spent teaching, he ensured that his students received the best education he could provide and thus the best opportunities life had to offer. I am sure his students are among us today and remember their beloved teacher and his teachings from long ago.
Finally, he was an exceptional preacher of the Word of God. Each and every Sunday he stood on this very altar, and before that on the altar of Holy Cross Church in Los Angeles and of various Prelacy Churches, and taught his congregation the Word of God through his spiritually uplifting sermons. He spoke with wisdom yet simplicity, with solemnity yet humor, in a manner that young and old could relate to. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly" (Colossians 3:16). The word of Christ dwelled in Archbishop Lapajian, in accordance with these words by the Apostle of Christ. It was the guiding force of all he spoke and all he did, and he dedicated his life to spreading the word of Christ, teaching it and instilling it in his parishioners.
The Lord gave us this remarkable man, and for that we are grateful. "The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord" (Job 1:21). We are privileged to have had a clerygman like Archbishop Lapajian serve within the Western Prelacy for over four decades, and we are ever thankful for his many accomplishments and contributions to the advancement of our Prelacy and to the spiritual nourishment he provided to our community.
And now, the Lord has taken away, He has called His servant home. "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). Let us find comfort in that he is now removed from the physical pain and suffering of the last few years and in the abiding presence of God where there is no sorrow nor pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with the Son and the Holy Spirit.
And let us not despair, for his life was truly fruitful. He led a life of great service and leaves behind a legacy which will not be forgotten. Through our many fond memories, his influence will continue.
His loss is being felt far and wide, from the Catholicosate of Cilicia in Lebanon, to Brotherhood members in various Dioceses around the world, to our Prelacy, and especially the parish community of Holy Cross Cathedral where he was a beloved everyday presence for forty years.
May God bless the memory of Archbishop Sumbat Lapajian, and may eternal light shine upon him as he dwells in peace in the glory and kingdom of our Lord Almighty.

PA Trout Unlimited Chapter Wins Award For Stream Cleanup
Donegal TU members and volunteers planted and cared for buffer trees and shrubs on Fishing Creek, Penn. in October.

For us Flatlanders who live by the Chesapeake's tidal waters, it's all too easy to forget where our Bay's freshwater comes from, but folks in Central Pennsylvania love their streams and creeks just the way we do our big water. Some of them take very good care of those waterways, like the Donegal Trout Unlimited Chapter of Lancaster County, Penn.
For the second time in its history, these trout conservationists won the 2021 Best Chapter (among 52) from PA Trout, the largest state council within the very large national organization of Trout Unlimited. Founded 55 years ago as a fly fishing club for students at Donegal High School, the club states its mission is to "protect, reconnect, restore, and sustain the coldwater fisheries and their watersheds in Lancaster County."
As for watersheds, Lancaster has many formerly-high-quality streams that have degraded gradually over the past two centuries under increasingly intensive agriculture. That has caused pollution problems not only locally but also downstream in the Susquehanna and the Chesapeake. The problems have been severe, but a broad partnership of farmers, government agencies, conservation districts, agriculture consultants, local watershed associations, and conservation organizations have been working hard over the past half-century to turn those problems around with conservation practices that range from fertilizer and manure management to fencing livestock out of streams and planting woody buffers along them.
For all that time, Donegal TU has been one of that partnership's shining stars. Many of its 885 members are trout anglers who want to give back to the streams they love, but an increasing number of members are simply there to help foster clean water in the county. The chapter is one of the founding members of Pennsylvania's Keystone 10 Million Trees Partnership.
Last year, Donegal fought for $1.7 million in grants developed for stream restoration in five county watersheds, it had 700 members, partners, volunteers, and supporters directly involved in hands-on stream restoration projects, and 7,000 trees, shrubs, and live stakes raised in the chapter's nursery at the Millport Conservancy.
The chapter has focused in the past on projects in other county streams, including Lititz Run, Conowingo Creek, Hammer Creek, Fishing Creek, Big Beaver Creek, Segloch Run, Furnace Run, Swarr Run, Jackson Run, Charles Run, Bowery Run, Climbers Run, and Peters Creek. Many now hold trout. The benefits of Donegal TU's projects go beyond Lancaster County's borders, even downstream to the waters we Flatlanders frequent every day.

Petrislav (; fl. 1060–1083) was the Prince of Raška (), a province under the Grand Principality of Doclea, from 1060 to 1083. He was appointed to govern Raška by his father, Grand Prince Mihailo I, who had reunited Raška (the Zagora region of the former early medieval Serbian Principality) into the Serbian realm after decades of Byzantine annexation.

Background
Bosnia, Zahumlje and Rascia never were incorporated into an integrated state with Doclea. Each principality had its own nobility and institutions, simply requiring a member of the royal family to rule as Prince or Duke.

Life
Petrislav was the last son of Mihailo I and his Greek second wife.

Mihailo I reconquered Rascia from the Byzantines between 1060 and 1074. He appointed Petrislav as Prince of Rascia. Mihailo I died in 1081, and Constantine Bodin succeeded as Prince.  By 1085, the Vojislavljević brothers suppressed the revolt in the župa of Zeta, staged by their cousins, the sons of Radoslav. Constantine Bodin ruled unchallengedly.

He was succeeded by his two sons, Vukan and Marko, in 1083.

Summer in the Hamptons has a few essentials -- seafood, drinking, being on a boat. But what if you don't have access to a boat? Enter Bay Kitchen Bar, awaiting you with the freshest of aquatic eats, some serious cocktails, and the FEELING that you just might be on a boat. And if you're actually ON a boat, they can accommodate you, too. Here are nine reasons to get yourself there.
Sitting right by the marina on Three Mile Harbor, Bay Kitchen Bar boasts one of the most tranquil atmospheres in the Hamptons. Indoor/outdoor deck seating and the somewhat secluded locale mean that by the time you've gotten there, you'll have forgotten about the traffic on 27 and the fact that you accidentally set fire to your share house last night.
2. $1 oyster happy hours? $1 oyster happy hours!
Unlike post-work drinks in Midtown, this happy hour will actually make you happy. Bay Kitchen Bar's Oyster Happy Hour is really three: every day from 4-7pm you can down $1 oysters paired with wine. Munch those mollusks while watching the sun set over the water.
For his sea-to-table cuisine, Chef Eric Miller uses as many local ingredients as possible. That means your clams were dug up today. The raw bar offerings include three variations of fluke crudo, two kinds of ceviche, East & West Coast oysters, lobster, and a shrimp cocktail that should be called Godzilla rather than jumbo.
Other menu highlights that involve the culinary innovation of... cooking stuff... include stuffed meatballs, charred octopus, crab cakes, lobster rolls, and Long Island duck.
Juleps come in ice-cold metal glasses with silver straws, in both blueberry and vanilla flavors, as well as the classic mint. The Violet Collins introduces you to something you don't know you love yet: a candied violet ice cube, which, in addition to making your drink look like something from outer space, slowly releases deliciousness as you sip. They also concoct their own simple syrup in many varieties including vanilla, honey, cinnamon, and their own fresh grenadine.
Sit by the indoor fireplace if you're chilly, by the bar to catch a game on the TV, or outdoors if you want some air. Though they haven't yet determined exactly what the nightlife scene will entail, they'll be serving until at least 11pm, and the lounge spaces are the perfect place to get your night started.
Weren't you just complaining that there are no good spots to tie up your boat and have some delicious food and booze? No? Oh. Sorry. Well, it never hurts to dream.
Although there's nothing set in stone, there's talk about parking lot clambakes, and even shuttle service from the restaurant to local nightclubs. Chef Miller also specializes in catering, should you want to have an event of your own, like maybe a fundraiser to pay for the damage you did to your share house.


Viewing for RCA Secret 2008 starts today, 14th November.
For those of you who aren't already in the know, RCA Secret is an exhibition of postcards which takes place at the Royal College of Art in London every year. Blank postcards are decorated by their fine art students, and also famous artists, but they are signed on the back. You pay £40 for each card, for the chance of winning an artwork by artists and designers such as Yoko Ono, Tracy Emin, Grayson Perry, Manolo Blahnik and Anish Kapoor, but you don't discover the identity of the artist until the exhibition is over.
I think it is such a brilliant fundraising idea, and in fact, it was the inspiration for my 30th birthday postcard exhibition a few years ago. I sent all my friends a blank postcard and asked them to draw on it and put their names on the back. Luckily, they all complied, and sent them back to me before my party so that I could curate the exhibition! I was so impressed with the diversity of designs I got, especially as I ever so slightly forced people to take part. I have kept all the postcards in an album, and just to give any friend readers advance warning, I will be rolling out this idea again for my next significant birthday, whether this be 35 or 40.
There are 2,700 postcards in the exhibition this year, and advance viewing runs from 14th - 21st November, with sale day on the 22nd November. Proceeds go to support the College's Fine Art students. Online advance viewing is also available, here.
Love RCA Secret, but LOVE your birthday idea so much more! What nice friends you have... this is my first visit to Tea for Joy, so glad to have found it... am adding you to my blogroll!!
That is such a great idea for a 30th birthday party!


Sounds good but what does this actually mean?
A Bit-writer is a programming tool that allows an installer to customise any Viper (Or any Directed Electronics alarm) that has an ESP2 plug.
Without a Bit-writer programming is limited to some simple options. With the Bit-writer, I am able to program different functions to each remote programmed to the alarm.
For example, remote #1 could be programmed for silent arming, and remote #2 could be programmed for arm/disarm chirps to be turned on.
Programming options vary between system. There are a heap of fine-tuning options to play with. For example, I can adjust how long the siren sounds for when the alarm is triggered. Be it 30 seconds, 31 seconds or much longer. I can also change the functions on the auxiliary outputs.
The Bit Writer allows me to lock the alarm form program access. So without a Bit Writer new remote controls cannot be added. This helps to prevent remote cloning.
The ESP2 plug can also be used to add a 1502T digital battery back-up siren to selected alarms.

Q: C# implicitly calls the CMD command Attrib with administrator privileges Use C# to copy WINDOWS log files to other disks. The main problem is that the CMD command with administrator privileges will not be called, and some of the things mentioned on the Internet will not work.
private Process proc = null;
public Command()
{
proc = new Process();
}

public void RunCmd(string cmd)
{
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";

cmd.RunCmd("attrib -s" + " " + path1);
Directory.CreateDirectory(path2);

Hope someone can tell me how to fix it.

A: You can restart a process as an administrator like this:
    ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\Windows\cmd.exe");
    info.UseShellExecute = true;
    info.Verb = "runas";
    Process.Start(info);

The ultimate dream came true for a few lucky people.
The U.S. is once again in the throes of lottery fever. At the time of this writing, the Mega Millions jackpot is up to a record $1.6 billion and the Powerball is sitting pretty at $620 million.
Florida's Gloria Mackenzie was the sole winner of a Powerball jackpot worth over $590 million in May 2013. At the time, it was the largest jackpot ever won by one person.
Three winners claimed the Powerball prize that would be the biggest jackpot in history (until someone wins the current Mega Millions, that is). Maureen Smith and David Kaltschmidt of Melbourne Beach; Marvin and Mae Acosta of California; and John and Lisa Robinson of Tennessee claimed the three tickets with a cash value of $327.8 million each.

I took the Tamiya Marder III home. This is the kit with the ICM maintenance figures.
The last time that I tried three colour camo, I made it very dark on a PzIV JadgPanzer so I need to get this one right.
The kit went together as any Tamiya kit does. It was bit complicated in parts and I made my usual silly mistakes. Once I told my wife 'you know that with a Tamiya kit, if it doesn't fit, then you have got it wrong'. I then proceeded to mess about with things and finally got the top of the chassis on incorrectly. Fortunately, it doesn't notice!
I bought a Jordi Rubio metal barrel for it which seems to be a bit thicker than the plastic one because the barrel clamp doesn't fit. I want to do a small diorama with a dropped track so I am getting some metal tracks this week.
Here are the pictures in grey primer. Tonight, I put the three colour camo on (tri-tonal - as MIG have it). I will post some pictures tomorrow. Hopefully, now I can get on with detail painting.

The Death of the Libertarian Party Part 1
The death of the Libertarian Party has not come to a complete surprise, although it has been a sad yet disappointing outcome at the conclusion of the convention's presidential nomination process. I must say that I am not surprised with the final results, but it is yet disturbing that the political party with which I once supported (considering it was the Party of Principle) has completed its transformation into the Party of Opportunism, Compromise, Personalities, Infighting, and Pro-Big Government.
The events of the last 24 to 48 hours at the Denver convention have greatly proven to me that the political process is unworkable, especially within the confines of the Libertarian Party and the third party movement in general. This even goes for the process to "reform" the federal government, especially when and if your goal is to push for petitions at the federal level, join a caucus within the GOP or Democratic parties, or even run as a major party candidate or even work within the one of the two major parties (the Democrats and the Republicans).
A few of the top reasons that stand out for me are as follows:
Third Parties, Even The Libertarian Party, Just Don't Work
The first reason is pretty simple. The third party movement just doesn't work. Third parties have electorally and politically been marginalized and the system discourages any chance for the presidential, vice presidential, and other candidates for political office to get any massive support by the masses whatsoever. More importantly, the candidates don't even have a shot at winning the elections for which they are running. Even if the candidate(s) get more than 1 percent of the vote, so what? Rarely do third party candidates ever get noticed or even a mention from the mainstream media. Unless you're a multimillionaire or a high-profile public figure, or, in the case of Bob Barr, a former congressman who was just coronated as the Libertarian Party's presidential nominee, the average third party presidential candidate doesn't stand a chance of getting beyond the 1 percent vote margin.
Even the Libertarian Party doesn't work. The Libertarian Party, which has historically been an ideological political party, doesn't work for quite a number of reasons. One reason that it doesn't -- and can't -- work is that it is an ideological party that, although was started by former Republican Party activist David Nolan and a bunch of pro-freedom activists, cannot work within the realm of third party politics, even in politics in general. It was initially established as an educational vehicle, but that was the problem with the methodology in the first place. Education and politics just don't mix. They can't exist within the same room together. Either the LP can be an educational and research think tank, or it must be a political party. Political parties, by their own nature, are formed to impose an ideology upon the public, and that imposition is done via coercion. There are no such things as political parties being "private organizations" because they are the arms of the state (although some parties are only formed at the state level).
Moreover, the Libertarian Party's Pledge is worthless. The Pledge, which is designed to keep impure new members from joining the Party, is signed only to gain entry into the organization, not to ensure that the person who signed it really believes in the Pledge. As KN@PPSTER blogger Tom Knapp pointed out in an interview with CATO Liberty's Radio Free Liberty talk radio show in 2006, Libertarians who have just joined the Party for the first time are either:
New members who signed the Pledge to join the Party, but changed their mind about the Pledge after they came on board;
New members who signed the Pledge to join the Party, but lied when they signed it and join up;
New members who signed the Pledge to join the Party, but didn't really understand the Pledge when they signed it in the first place.
Third Parties, Unlike The Major Parties, Have No Internal Funding Base
The second reason is even more problematic for third party supporters. Aside from the first reason, the reason third parties can't get anywhere politically (that is, by getting their candidates elected to public office) is that the third party movement is terribly restricted and constrained by the campaign finance rules and regulations established by the two major parties. Those campaign finance regulations make it significantly difficult -- if not, almost impossible -- for third parties to gain any traction financially.
Basically these machinations make it extremely difficult -- if not, almost impossible -- for third parties and their respective candidates to secure large financial donations from a very few wealthy donors. The reason for these regulations is that they are supposed to prohibit unethical "hard money" and "soft money" contributions by limiting the amounts so that ethical candidates are elected to Congress and the Oval Office. After all, during each election season, people eventually discover that the major parties, which have a monstrous built-in funding base, are able to funnel large, unlimited amounts of campaign finance money into their political campaigns. Third parties are not able to do that because they possess no such funding base (the same goes for their candidates). Besides, a third party candidate, even Libertarian candidates, knows that you can't get anywhere with a $2,300 maximum campaign contribution limit.
That is why Congress, in the midst of every election season or so, and congressional and presidential candidates on both sides of the Republican and Democratic aisles push for such statist boondoggles -- to make it impossible for third party candidates to get anywhere with their campaigns. As a result, third parties and their candidates resort to "softening" their messages or radically overhauling them in desperate attempts to put them on the political map and get themselves elected to power. Thus, as a result, they become permanently marginalized, never to be taken seriously as contenders for the races for which they campaign.
Part 2 will be available in the next few days.
Posted by Todd Andrew Barnett at 3:05 PM 5 comments
Good morning to you all from Washington, D.C. Todd Andrew Barnett, whom I know solely by reputation, has kindly invited me to become a contributor to Let Liberty Ring, and I have happily accepted. Some of you may remember my political news website, Orvetti.com, which existed from 1997 through 2002 and which carried a wide array of third-party news. I tried to be fair and to treat alternative candidates with the same respect and scrutiny as those of the more established parties. (In September 2000, I interviewed Harry Browne, for example.) I was also the editor of the Web White and Blue 2000 online presidential debate, and was active in making sure alternative candidates were invited to participate.
I also briefly served as Deputy Director of Communications of the Libertarian Party in 1999 and 2000. I fear I did not acquit myself very well in the role and left abruptly. (I have since offered my apologies to my colleagues of the time. I hope I have matured somewhat in the intervening years.) I was an off-and-on LP member throughout this decade, and have recently rejoined, resolved to show a greater commitment. Hopefully my contributions here will be a part of that.
While I will have chances to write more about my reasons for rejoining in the days to come, as well as my thoughts on the LP in 2008, I do want to say one more thing this morning. Some of you know that I supported candidates other than our ultimate nominees for the presidency and vice presidency. I see no reason to rehash the intense but largely respectful campaign for the nomination here. Some committed Libertarians are not sure if they can support the 2008 national ticket, and I respect that. It is a matter of personal choice, and what could be more Libertarian than that? As for myself, I am not yet sure what I will do.
But as the heroic Steve Kubby said in Denver, "This party is not breaking apart. This is not 1983." That year, a large segment of the LP decided to put faction ahead of future possibilities. This year, no one is doing that -- Mary Ruwart and Michael Jingozian have both been elected to LNC roles, for example. The efforts toward unity in the wake of the heated contest in Denver are inspiring.

Lukoil Craft-Bamboo Racing is hoping to bounce back this weekend at the Salzburgring to ensure that they reignite their drivers' and teams' championship challenge. After a difficult two rounds at high speed circuits in Belgium and Italy, the trio of drivers need to start closing the gap on the competition with some good results at this crucial mid-point of the season. Hugo Valente has decided to step away from motorsport and will be replaced by Daniel Lloyd for the rest of the season. The British driver has a good deal of experience in touring cars and will be working hard to get acquainted with everything as best as possible this weekend. The Salzburgring is the third high speed circuit in a row and while this has proven to be a challenging experience for the team, they are working hard to deliver the most competitive package.
While Pepe Oriola is currently fifth in the drivers' championship, he has to make up 67 points to catch the lead driver and needs a strong performance here to get back in the game. After having raced at the Salzburgring in 2015 and 2016 in the SEAT Leon, Oriola knows the track well and is confident that he can push the car to its limits and come away with a big helping of points to climb up the leaderboard. After having scored podiums at the Austrian circuit before and after coming away from the last round in Monza with another podium, Oriola can head into the weekend with confidence that he will be able to challenge the rest of the field for the top step.
James Nash is no stranger to the Salzburgring either, taking a podium in his #54 SEAT Leon last year, even after starting from the rear of the field. Nash is determined to make a huge comeback in Austria after some difficult races have seen him miss out on getting the results and points he needs to challenge the guys at the top of the standings. Currently 9th in the points, Nash needs to turn around his title fight as the series reaches the mid-season and the Salzburgring could be the place to do it. If Nash can avoid trouble in the mid-field, expect to see him fighting for at the front of the field for a long overdue podium.
Newcomer Daniel Lloyd will have a big challenge ahead of him this weekend in Austria. He has a new car to get used to after switching over from MG in the BTCC as well as new track to memorize. Thankfully, the British driver is well acquainted with the team so should be able to easily acclimate to his new surroundings. With the generous free testing sessions on Friday and free practice on Saturday, Lloyd should be able to get up to speed and piece together a strong flying lap in the hopes of seeing him start towards the sharp end of the grid on Sunday. Lloyd may even be able to upset some of the series regulars and take to the podium during his first outing as a Lukoil Craft-Bamboo Racing and TCR driver.
"Last year technical problems ruined qualifying for me so I had to start both races from the back. A second place in race one and fourth in race two though, were very satisfying results in the circumstances. I've won here in the past so while the Salzburgring might be one of the shorter circuits we visit, I like it.
