\section{Introduction}
Currently the WWW is undergoing a landmark revolution from the
traditional Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 characterized by social collaborative
technologies, such as social networking site, blog, Wiki and
folksonomy. The social Web (or more specifically, online social
systems), a label that includes both social networking sites (such
as $MySpace$ and $Facebook$) and social media sites (such as $Digg$,
$CiteULike$ and $Flickr$), is changing the way content is created
and distributed. Web-based authoring tools enable users to rapidly
publish content, from stories and opinion pieces on weblogs, to
photographs and videos on $Flickr$ and $YouTube$, to advice on
$Yahoo! Answers$, and to web discoveries on $Del.icio.us$ and
$Furl$. The availability of large-scale electronic databases has
delivered us extraordinary new insights on the human behaviors and
human dynamics on the web. The clear patterns and regularities in
individual distributions in respect of popularity and activity in
some online social systems have been revealed [1-8].

Evidently web users vary widely in their activity levels. Take
$Digg$ as example, some users casually browse the front page, voting
on one or two stories. Others spend hours a day combing the web for
new stories to submit, and voting on stories they found on $Digg$.
Also different items on the web vary widely in their popularity.
Some stories can attract large attention and their influence can
last for a long time while most stories only can attract very little
attention and their impact vanishes rapidly. In social media sites a
$tag$-$cloud$ is usually used to visualize the popularity of items,
or more specifically, tags. Typical tag-clouds have between 30 and
150 tags. The popularity is represented using font sizes, colors or
other visual clues. Fig. 1 shows a tag-cloud with terms related to
Web 2.0.

  \caption{A tag-cloud with terms related to Web 2.0
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag\_cloud). Generally the font size
of each tag is proportional to the logarithm of its frequency of
appearance within the folksonomy.}
\end{figure}

Recently much attention has been devoted to investigating the
statistical feature of individual popularity and activity in online
social systems. Their distributions show the wide-spread believed
power law or general heavy-tailed ones intermediate between
exponential and power law, such as stretched exponential or
log-normal [2, 5, 9]. Despite the great progress made, little work
is done on the underlying mechanism governing the statistical
feature of  popularity and activity in online social systems, which
will be explored in the work.

We can start our analysis from a time-ordered table of item
assignments. For the system as a whole, we can define an intrinsic
time $T$ as the index of an item assignment into such a table, so
that $T$ runs from 1 to the number of total item assignments. The
temporal process shown in Fig. 2 can be regarded as the process of
appearance of entity $u_i$ or $m_i$. And the frequency of occurrence
for some user/item in the total $T$ events can be defined as its
activity/popularity. Thus activity measures how frequently a user
performs a specific action, such as listening to music, seeing
films, browsing posts and sending friendship invitations to other
users on the web, and popularity measures how frequently an item
(such as music, films, posts and tags) is visited by web users. Note
that for items we can only measure their popularity, while for
users, in some cases, we can measure not only their activity but
also popularity. For instance in online social networks, users can
invite other users to be their friends. Thus we can measure the
activity of users in terms of the number of sent invitations, and
can also measure the popularity of users in terms of the number of
received invitations.

\begin{figure}
  \centerline{\includegraphics[width=3in]{fig2.eps}}
  \caption{A schematic illustration of online social systems. It is a
sequence of chronologically ordered users and items.}
\end{figure}

It is natural that the number of distinct items or users $N$
increases with $T$, however different growth patterns can appear.
Generally $N(T) \propto T^\gamma  $, where $\gamma<1$ implies
sub-linear growth while $\gamma=1$ linear growth, i.e. the
generation probability of new individuals is a constant value
(homogeneous Poisson process). Besides the more frequently an
individual appears, the more possibly the individual will appear
once again. Specifically, when an old individual joins the sequence,
the probability that it will be a specific old individual $i$ with
previous frequency of appearance $k_i$ is $\prod {(k_i )}  \propto
k_i^\beta$ ($0 \le \beta  \le 1$). The preference metric $0 \le
\beta  < 1$ implies sub-linear preference while $\beta=1$ linear
preference. The case where $N(T) \propto T$ and $\beta=1$
corresponds to the classic Simon model [10, 11].

When an old individual joins the sequence, the probability that
individual $i$ with frequency $k_i$ is selected can be expressed
as $\prod (k_i ) = k_i^\beta  /\sum\nolimits_j {k_j^\beta  } $.
Thus we can compute the probability $\prod (k)$ that an old
individual of frequency $k$ is chosen, and it is normalized by the
number of individuals of frequency $k$ that exist just before this
step [12, 13]: $\prod {(k) = \sum\nolimits_t {[e_t  = v \wedge k_v
(t - 1) = k]} } /\sum\nolimits_t {|\{u}:k_u (t - 1) = k\} | \sim
k^\beta$, where $e_t  = v \wedge k_v (t - 1) = k$ represents that
at time $t$ the old individual whose frequency is $k$ at time
$t-1$ is chosen. We use $[ \cdot ]$ to denote a predicate (take
value of 1 if expression is true, else 0). Generally $\prod (k)$
has significant fluctuations, particularly for large $k$. To
reduce the noise level, instead of $\prod (k)$ we can study the
cumulative function to obtain the preference metric $\beta$:
$\kappa (k) = \int_0^k {\prod (k)} {\rm{d}}k \sim k^{\beta + 1} $.

\section{Model}
Consider that users are listening to music. At a discrete time step
$T$, a new user may appear with probability $\alpha $, whereas with
probability $1-\alpha $ an existing old user can appear. We can
apply the mean field method to analytically obtain the probability
distribution for individual popularity and activity. When $0 < \beta
< 1$, we have
\begin{equation}
  \frac{{\partial k_i }}{{\partial t}} = (1 - \alpha )\frac{{k_i^\beta  }}{{\sum\nolimits_j {k_j^\beta  }
  }}.
  \label{1}
\end{equation}
According to
\begin{equation}
  \left\{ \begin{array}{l}
 \sum\nolimits_j {k_j^0 }  = t\alpha    \\
 \sum\nolimits_j {k_j^1 }  = t   \\
 \end{array} \right.
 \label{2}
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
  \sum\nolimits_j {k_j^\beta  }  = \mu t\;\;(\alpha  < \mu  < 1),
  \label{3}
\end{equation}
We obtain
\begin{equation}
  \frac{{\partial k_i }}{{\partial t}} = (1 - \alpha )\frac{{k_i^\beta  }}{{\mu
  t}}.
  \label{4}
\end{equation}
The initial condition is $k_i (t_i ) = 1$, where $t_i$ is the time
when the individual $i$ appeared for the first time. Thus
\begin{eqnarray}
 k_i^{1 - \beta } (t) &= & 1 + \ln \left( {\frac{t}{{t_i }}} \right)^{(1 - \beta )\left( {\frac{{1 - \alpha }}{\mu }} \right)} \nonumber \\
  & \sim & (1 - \beta )\left( {\frac{{1 - \alpha }}{\mu }} \right)\ln t
   \label{5}
\end{eqnarray}
and
\begin{equation}
  P(k_i (t) < k) = P\left[ {t_i  > t \cdot \exp \left( { - \frac{{k^{1 - \beta }  - 1}}{{1 - \beta }} \cdot \frac{\mu }{{1 - \alpha }}} \right)}
  \right].
  \label{6}
\end{equation}
The probability density function for $t_i$ is $P_i (t_i ) = \alpha
/(1 + t)$ and thus
\begin{eqnarray}
 P(k_i (t) < k) &=& 1 - P\left[ {t_i  \le t \cdot \exp \left( { - \frac{{k^{1 - \beta }  - 1}}{{1 - \beta }} \cdot \frac{\mu }{{1 - \alpha }}} \right)} \right] \nonumber \\
  &=& 1 - \frac{{t\alpha }}{{t + 1}}\exp \left( { - \frac{{k^{1 - \beta }  - 1}}{{1 - \beta }} \cdot \frac{\mu }{{1 - \alpha }}}
  \right).
  \label{7}
\end{eqnarray}
The probability distribution $P(k)$ for individual popularity and
activity is
\begin{eqnarray}
 P(k)  &=& \frac{{\partial P(k_i (t) < k)}}{{\partial k}} \nonumber \\
  &=& \frac{{t\alpha }}{{1 + t}}\frac{\mu }{{1 - \alpha }} \cdot k^{ - \beta }  \cdot \exp \left( { - \frac{{k^{1 - \beta }  - 1}}{{1 - \beta }} \cdot \frac{\mu }{{1 - \alpha }}}
  \right),
  \label{8}
\end{eqnarray}
which is a stretched exponential distribution. Its complementary
cumulative distribution functions (CCDF) is $P_{\rm{c}} (k) = \exp [
- (k/k_0 )^c ]$, where $c=1-\beta$ and $k_0$ is a constant. When
$\beta \to 1$, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\beta \to 1} \frac{{k^{1 -
\beta } - 1}}{{1 - \beta }} = \ln k$, $\mu  = 1$, and
\begin{equation}
  P(k)  = \frac{{t\alpha }}{{(1 + t)(1 - \alpha )}} \cdot k^{ - \left( {1 + \frac{1}{{1 - \alpha }}}
  \right)},
  \label{9}
\end{equation}
which is a power law distribution. Its CCDF is $P_{\rm{c}} (k) \sim
k^{-\nu} $, where $\nu=1/(1-\alpha)$. The special situation of
absent preference $\beta=0$ reduces Eq. (8) to an exponential
distribution. Generally the stretched exponential distribution is
correlative with sub-linear preference while power law distribution
linear preference [14, 15].

\section{Results and discussion}
We ground our empirical analysis on actual log data extracted from
an online media site
$Comic$\footnote{http://comic.sjtu.edu.cn/music.asp} [5] and an
online social network $Wealink$\footnote{http://www.wealink.com}
[6]. Note that our approach of investigation is also applicable to
other online social systems. $Comic$ is located in a large Chinese
university with more than 40,000 undergraduate and graduate
students, and only is accessible to the IP addresses within the
university. We recorded its visiting log from October 25th, 2006 to
February 6th, 2007 in the data format: time $t_i$/user ID number
$u_i$/music ID number $m_i$, i.e. a user $u_i$ listened to a song
$m_i$ at time $t_i$. Users were distinguished by their IP addresses.
The total number of log we obtained is 2,136,149, the number of
different music recorded is 98,747 (mostly popular songs), and the
number of users recorded is 8472.

$Wealink$ is a large social networking site in China whose users are
mostly professionals, typically businessmen and office clerks. Each
registered user has a profile, including his/her list of friends.
For privacy reasons, the data, logged from May 11th, 2005 (the
inception day for the Internet community) to August 22nd, 2007,
include only each user's ID and list of friends, and the time of
sending and accepting friendship invitations. The finial data format
is time $t_i$/user ID number $u_i$/user ID number $v_i$/flag $s_i$.
$s_i$ can take value of 0 or 1. $s_i=0$ indicates that at time $t_i$
a user $u_i$ invited another user $v_i$ to be his/her friend while
$s_i=1$ indicates that at time $t_i$ user $u_i$ accepted user
$v_i$'s invitation. During our data collection period, there are
273,395 sent invitations and more than 99.9\% have been accepted.
The total number of users recorded is $223,482$. Like most social
networking sites, in $Wealink$, only when the sent friendship
invitations are accepted, can the inviters and receivers become
online friends. We can measure users' activity and popularity in
terms of their numbers of sent and received invitations.

In $Comic$ individual activity and popularity can be well described
by stretched exponential distribution, which is shown in Fig. 3.
While in Fig. 4, the distribution of users' activity and popularity
in $Wealink$ has a power law tail.

\begin{figure}
  \centerline{\includegraphics[width=5.5in]{fig3.eps}}
  \caption{The CCDFs for users' activity (a) and music's popularity (b)
in $Comic$. A stretched exponential distribution will show a
straight line if we use $\ln P_{\rm{c}} (k)$ as $x$-axis and $k^c$
as $y$-axis. The solid lines represent the fitted lines.}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
  \centerline{\includegraphics[width=4in]{fig4.eps}}
  \caption{The CCDFs of users' activity and popularity in $Wealink$.
Both distributions have a power law tail.}
\end{figure}

We can compare the distributions of individual activity and
popularity in real data with the predicted by the stochastic model.
Fig. 5 shows the $\kappa $ versus $k$ for music and users in
$Comic$. For these two cases, the sub-linear preferential selection
hypothesis can offer a good approximation. The values of $\beta$ for
users and music are approximately 0.61 and 0.79, respectively. For
the CCDF of users' activity, our model gives $c=1-\beta \approx
0.39$ and the empirical distribution in Fig. 3 gives $c \approx
0.45$, while for music's popularity, our model gives $c \approx
0.21$ and the empirical distribution gives $c \approx 0.34$. Fig. 6
shows the $\kappa $ versus $k$ for users in $Wealink$. Approximately
$\beta
 \approx 1$ for users' activity and popularity, indicating
linear preference. The appearance probabilities $\alpha$ of new
users in the time-ordered lists of users of sending and receiving
invitations are 0.53 and 0.35, respectively. For the CCDF of users'
activity, the model gives $\nu=1/(1-\alpha)=2.13$, while for users'
popularity the model gives $\nu=1.54$. The power law exponents
achieve proper agreement with the empirical results in Fig. 4.

\begin{figure}
  \centerline{\includegraphics[width=4in]{fig6.eps}}
  \caption{Testing preferential selection for the users of sending
invitations and receiving invitations in \emph{Wealink}.}
\end{figure}

Fig. 7 shows the growth of the numbers of different users/music $N$
in $Comic$ and users $N$ in $Wealink$ with $T$. The traditional
assumption, as applied in the previous deduction, is that the
generation probability of new individuals is a constant value, i.e.
$N(T)\propto T$. However as shown in Fig. 7, the hypothesis is
unrealistic to some extent. For the $Wealink$ users, approximatively
the slopes for senders and receivers are 1.09 and 0.97,
respectively, however for the users/music in $Comic$, the growth
lines show several segments with different slopes. In some cases the
number of distinct items $N$ introduced by users after $T$
assignments can grow approximately as $N(T) \propto T^\gamma  $ with
$\gamma <1$. When dealing with the evolution of the number of
attributes pertaining to some collection of objects, this sub-linear
growth is generally referred to as Heaps' law [16]. As an example,
sub-linear behavior has been observed in the growth of vocabulary
size in texts, i.e. in the number of different words in a text as a
function of the total number of words observed while scanning
through it. For the case of English corpora, vocabulary growth
exponents in the range ${\rm{0}}{\rm{.4  < }}\gamma {\rm{ <
0}}{\rm{.6}}$ have been reported [17].

\begin{figure}
  \centerline{\includegraphics[width=4in]{fig7.eps}}
  \caption{Growth patterns of the numbers of different users/music $N$
in $Comic$ and users $N$ in $Wealink$ with $T$. For comparison the
approximately linear growth $N=(T+9)/10$($N \approx T/10$ for large
$T$) and sub-linear growth $N = T^{0.3} $ are also shown. Note that
growth curves are only feasible under $N=T$.}
\end{figure}

The rate at which new items appear at time $T$ scales as
${\rm{d}}N(T)/{\rm{d}}T \sim T^{\gamma  - 1} $. That is, new items
appear less and less frequently, with the invention rate of new
items monotonically decreasing towards zero. The approach to zero is
however so slow that the cumulated number of items, asymptotically,
does not converge to a constant value but is unbounded - assuming
the observed trend stays valid.

Different users or items with distinct activity or popularity may
have quite different $\gamma $. Recent research on the collaborative
tagging system $del.icio.us$ reveals that for less and less popular
resources being bookmarked, the distribution of growth exponent
$P(\gamma )$ of distinct tags gets broader and its peak shifts
towards higher values of $\gamma $, indicating that the growth
behavior is becoming more and more linear [3].

Table 1 summarizes the probability distributions of popularity and
activity for different patterns of growth and preferential selection
which can appear in real life. For sub-linear growth and linear
preference, the recent research shows that when the rate at which
new items appear $\dot N(T) \ll 1$, the distribution can be
approximately viewed as a power law $P(k)  \sim k^{ - 1 - \gamma } $
[18]. For sub-linear growth and sub-linear preference, unfortunately
the analysis for probability distribution can lead to a rather
intractable relation whose analytical solution is hard to obtain.
Qualitatively in this case the distribution is still a fat-tailed
one intermediate between exponential and power law. For some
sub-linear growth exponent, the distribution resulted from
sub-linear preference will be more homogeneous than that (power law)
resulted from linear preference; while for some sub-linear
preference exponent, the distribution resulted from sub-linear
growth will be more heterogeneous than that (stretched exponential
distribution) resulted from linear growth.

\begin{table}
\caption{Probability distributions of popularity and activity for
different patterns of growth and preference.}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lll}
\hline $ $  & Linear growth   &   Sub-linear growth\\  \hline
Linear preference   & $P(k)  \sim k^{ - \left( {1 + \frac{1}{{1 - \alpha }}} \right)} $ & $P(k)  \sim k^{ - 1 - \gamma } $\\
Sub-linear preference   & $P(k)  \sim k^{ - \beta }  \cdot \exp \left( { - \frac{{k^{1 - \beta }  - 1}}{{1 - \beta }} \cdot \frac{\mu }{{1 - \alpha }}} \right)$ & Fat tail\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

The distributions of individual popularity and activity in many
online social systems can follow generic heavy-tailed ones,
unnecessarily power law [19-24]. Several aspects of the underlying
intricate dynamics may be responsible for the feature. Except
sub-linear preference discussed above, another possible origin is
the memory effect, that is, newly appeared individuals will appear
more frequently than old ones. For example web users tend to listen
to recently added music or apply recently added tags more frequently
than old ones, which may be equivalent to the ageing effect of
individuals. The popularity or activity of an entity will inevitably
undergo a decaying process. Users become less active and items
become less attractive over the time [25-29].

According to growth and preference characteristic, it is possible to
predict the amount that would be devoted over time to given ones by
measuring the data at an early time. However the method does not
consider the semantics of popularity and why some items become more
popular than others [30]. That is, popularity prediction in the
presence of a large table of item assignments can essentially be
made based on the observed early time series, while semantic
analysis of content may be more useful when no early click-through
information is known. Semantic attraction can lead to the initial
prevalence of items and subsequent preferential selection
strengthens the popularity.

In fact the Problem is: How can i print a XRLabel on all ReportPages of a XtraReport Object.
I tried this out but without success:

druckinfo.SizeF = new SizeF(29.16666F, 500F);
druckinfo.Font = new Font(StyleVerwaltung.Instance.Schriftart,
    StyleVerwaltung.Instance.SchriftgroesseDruckInfo);
druckinfo.Text = text;
druckinfo.LocationF = new PointF(0F, 500F);

{
    if (band is DetailBand)
    {
        band.Controls.Add(druckinfo);
    }
}

A: The DevExpress Support show me a way to solve my problem:
Image img = new Bitmap(300, 300);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(img);
Font schriftart = new Font(StyleVerwaltung.Instance.Schriftart,
    StyleVerwaltung.Instance.SchriftgroesseDruckInfo);

_Report.Watermark.ImageAlign = ContentAlignment.BottomLeft;
_Report.Watermark.ImageViewMode = ImageViewMode.Clip;
g.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
g.TextRenderingHint = System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias;
g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
g.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;

g.TranslateTransform(0, g.VisibleClipBounds.Size.Height);
g.RotateTransform(270f);
g.DrawString(text, schriftart, Brushes.Black,
    new Rectangle(0, 0, (int)g.VisibleClipBounds.Size.Width,
                        (int)g.VisibleClipBounds.Height),
    format);
g.ResetTransform();
g.Flush();

_Report.Watermark.Image = img;
_Report.Watermark.ShowBehind = true;

It uses the Watermark to accomplish this task. It just works if you dont use Watermark in other context but for my goal it works as expected.

HURRICANE – If you happened to be at Sand Hollow State Park Saturday morning, you may have seen them out on the lake, standing tall, swinging their paddles, gliding across the waters like graceful gondoliers. Stand-up paddleboarders – sometimes called paddle surfers – strike quite an image.
What began as a pastime for surfers who wanted to practice on their boards when the surf was down, has evolved into its own sport. On Saturday, DIG Paddlesports, a kayak and paddleboard store in Hurricane, put on the second of three paddleboard racing events in the Triple Threat SUP Series at Sand Hollow State Park. While the afternoon featured a 1-mile and a 2.5-mile race, as well as a minirace for kids, the main event was a 5-mile race around the island off the western coast of the reservoir.
Paddleboarding is easy to learn, Bill Ennis of DIG Paddlesports said. Most people are comfortable rowing their boards after only half an hour of practice.
Paddleboarding isn't necessarily all about racing. Some people just like to relax and float on the water, while others fish. Michelle Ennis said that she loves to practice yoga on her paddleboard, out in the middle of the lake.
The last of the Triple Threat SUP races will be held on Oct. 12 at Sand Hollow.
For more information on the upcoming race, or about paddleboarding in general, stop into DIG Paddlesports in Hurricane or call them at 435-275-9466.

A notice under s.20 Housing Act 1988 was not required to be personally served upon the tenant but could validly be served upon his duly authorised agent.
(1) The fact of access did not itself prove an intention to create a tenancy. On the evidence the court was satisfied that there was no such intention on 1 August 1995. The tenancy came into existence on the date that the agreement was signed. (2) The court was also satisfied on the evidence that a s.20 notice was served on M prior to execution of the agreement. (3) The tenant had authorised M to do whatever was required to achieve completion of the tenancy. That included accepting service of the notice, since that was the only way that the tenant would be allowed into occupation by the landlord. It followed that M had actual authority to accept service. (4) There was nothing in s.20 of the 1988 Act to suggest that the necessary notice could not be validly served upon the tenant's agent.
Appeal allowed.

Q: Can a process lock a disk so that no other process can access it? Is there a way for a process to lock an entire disk so that no other process can access any file on the disk until this process releases the lock? Disk i/o operations for the other processes would presumably block until the lock is released.
The OS in question is Linux.

A: Since everything on a Linux it's a file, you should try locking the file representing your device.


Jim and Joann Smith enjoying their new kitchen, with all its amenities, in their new home at Summerfields West, in Williamstown, NJ.
While the couple was impressed by all of the luxurious single-level home designs, they opted for The Meadow model both for its easy living floor plan, the ranch-style design which they had grown to love in their previous home, along with the value-added customization possibilities afforded by the builder. Summerfields West is built by the Temple Companies, a family owned and operated business with a history of developing successful communities dating back to 1955. "Like all of our home designs, The Meadow model lends itself to the expansion of living area and the enhancement of appointments without altering the overall design which attracted the buyers in the first place," said Brian Temple, President of The Temple Companies. The Smiths were able to expand the home by a full eight feet by adding five feet to the living/dining rooms and three to the master bedroom. The Meadow home design features 2 bedrooms with walk-in closets, 2 baths, living and dining rooms, laundry/utility room and kitchen. The Smiths chose to personalize the kitchen by reconfiguring the base cabinets with drawers, rather than standard cupboards. "My wife has trouble bending down, so the drawers that roll out so easily make everything accessible to her; plus, they are heavy-duty constructed to hold pots and pans," explained Smith. The customizations they made augmented The Meadow's standard 1,232 sq. ft. of living space.
In addition to the myriad of lifestyle advantages enjoyed by homebuyers at Summerfields West, the Temple Companies offer a unique Risk-Free Site Reservation Policy, allowing home purchasers to lock in the price of their new home for up to six months. The nominal $1,000 deposit which activates the policy is applied directly to the cost of the home or, should the customer choose not to build, is fully refundable without penalty. "Just as Jim and Joann learned through our customization program, we understand our homebuyers, their various needs and concerns. The Risk-Free Site Reservation Policy is one more way to address our buyers' needs and concerns," said Temple.

Q: Post form data to url in Razor I'm trying to append data from a form to the Url of my page using Razor (adding a query string). I've done this in ASP.NET Web Controls okay, but I would prefer to do this in Razor if it is possible?
Here's a very basic version of my Razor script but currently the '@test' variable is empty on post:
@{
    <form id="test" method="post">
        <input type="text" />
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </form>

    if(IsPost){
        var test = Request.Form["test"];
        Response.Redirect(@Model.Url + "?test=" + @test);
    }
}

As a sidenote, is there a way of achieving this without a POST method at all?

A: As I understand you want to add input value in your test variable. You should define id for input[text] or you should change it to
Page:
@using (Html.BeginForm("ActionName", "ControllerName", FormMethod.GET, null))
{
   <input type='text' name'test' id='test' />
   <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
}

or your code
@{
    <form method="get" action="@Model.Url">
        <input type="text" name="test" id="test" />
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </form>
}

P.S. I'm not clearly understand your code, because you set POST method and want to process GET method.

In India's First Big Truck Race, It's Just Tata for Now

Models posed in front of a truck at Buddh International Circuit on Sunday.
Sean McLain/The Wall Street Journal
There was no high-pitched howl of a F1 car or growl of a V8 engine at Sunday's race at the Buddh International Circuit. Instead, there was only the low grumble of Tata trucks lumbering around the track.
As the light turned green, 12 Tata Prima trucks slowly trundled away from the starting line for a 15 lap race and massive marketing exercise for Tata Motor Co. which has been having trouble making money at home. The "Tata T1 Truck Racing Championship" was an attempt to rev up the image of Tata's flagship Prima truck.
Pop stars and rappers performed on platforms towed by Tata Primas. British truck racer Steve Horne performed a "truck dance," doing donuts and three-point turns in a Tata Prima. Models in sky-high heels even climbed up on to the beds of two Tata Primas for a moving fashion show by Indian designer Manish Arora.
The view of the track from the stands.
The 380 horsepower engines powering the vehicles are capable of speeds of 160 kilometers per hour, but the trucks had to stay below 110 kilometers per hour because the track's owners were worried about the possible damage from the 8 ton monsters.
"I drive faster than that on the highway," said Michael Lahrry who attended the event with his son.
Still, the grandstands at the invite-only event in Greater Noida were packed with Tata dealers, truck drivers, and racing enthusiasts who scored tickets in radio contests or through family connections. The crowd of thousands leapt to its feet every time the vehicles came through the straightaway, cheering and blasting air-horns.
The track--which was built for high-performance high speed vehicles—seemed a bit narrow at times. The boxy trucks showed off their highway moves, side-swiping each other on turns and shoving one another on to the grassy verges on straightaways.
A man posed with a truck at the race on Sunday.
"They were a bit shocked when we asked to host a truck race," said Vinod Sahay, Tata's sales head for commercial vehicles. "They said the track is built for F1, not truck racing."
Tata executives admit that the race was really a showcase for its heavy-duty trucks. The race was restricted to just Tata trucks to avoid anyone stealing the Tata Prima's thunder.
"This is our idea, we don't want to give mileage to other brands," said Ravi Pisharody, head of Tata's commercial vehicle division.
Tata hopes to make the truck race a regular fixture, eventually even expanding it to a competition between different truck makers. To groom new truck racers, Tata is even setting up an academy. It expects demand to be high.
That would be a terrible idea, said Saurabh Ghosh, a construction worker who attended the race.
"Indian truck drivers are scary," he said. "They drive like mad men."

Union Governance
The time for action on climate change was yesterday. The time for a just transition is now
It's time to stop lying to coal-power workers and filling communities with unrealistic hope. It's time for a just transition.
Australia has wasted the past decade by failing to take action on climate change and it's cost us a lot more than higher energy bills.
Inaction is slowing Australia down on renewable energy projects and it's hamstrung local manufacturing that should be constructing the solar panels and wind turbines that will power local communities through the decades ahead.
Inaction has cost valuable time and preparation in our inevitable transition away from fossil fuels and coal-fired power.
That's why the Electrical Trades Union is backing Labor and the creation of a national Just Transition Authority that brings together government, industry and unions so we can set Australia up to be a renewable energy super power. Because, let's be serious, with the right policies in place Australia will do that easily.
The Federal Liberal Government's policy neglect has cost our coal-town communities more than anyone else. They've been fed lies by politicians who say the 19th Century energy technology that currently sustains their livelihoods will continue to power Australia through the 21st Century.
READ MORE: A tale of two solar cities
READ MORE: Future of batteries – what works best in Australia's (political) climate
These lies have given many workers and their families unrealistic hope. I started my electrical career in the coal mines of Queensland and my father worked the coal mines too. So I understand what workers and their families in these communities are feeling.
But anyone who tells them there's a future in coal-fired power is lying.
The best thing Australia's Liberal and National politicians can do for these communities, is stop lying to them and help them prepare a just transition away from burning coal for power as we and the rest of the world take up cleaner and increasingly cheaper renewable energy technologies.
This is the reality we need to face and adapt to right now.
A recent report from the Australia Institute found that nearly 60,000 jobs will be created in Australia over the next 10 years. These jobs will come across the nation through to 2030, from manufacturing, to construction and installation, and to the maintenance and facility management. Many will be in regional Australia, where many coal miners live and work now. The numbers, drawn from the Australian Energy Market Operator, show the renewable energy boom will mean more opportunities for workers in our regions.
It's a great sign, but the balance must be right. We cannot allow Australia's renewable energy industry to run like the Wild West, overrun by cowboy contractors like RCR Thomlinson that went into voluntary administration this week and left workers in the lurch. Our union is currently fighting these opportunists in almost every state where businesses have rushed to fill the energy policy vacuum.
On renewable energy jobsites across Australia there are unskilled and unlicensed workers doing jobs that should be done by licensed tradespeople. There are too many jobs going to labour hire firms and too many contracts getting nabbed by firms that undercut the competition by tens of millions, only to abandon their workers when the payroll comes due.
Labor has a solid plan with the $10 billion clean energy package and a commitment to invest in battery storage for 100,000 homes. But the ETU will not allow a repeat of the pink batts scheme, where rogue operators swooped in to make a quick buck. We'll ensure the proper safeguards and standards are in place so that only qualified and licensed electrical workers do the work on Australian homes and the proposed renewable energy hubs. And we have the skilled workers ready right now.
The policy paralysis has cost Australian coal-energy workers who could have been upskilling and entering new roles. The lack of leadership has harmed industries that have had to second-guess and readapt their plans every time the Federal Liberal Party has redrafted policy before abandoning it.
And it's hurt communities already in Victoria, where the sudden closure of the coal-fire powered Hazelwood brought on several waves of business shutdowns and unemployment knock-ons.
This is by no means the end of Australia's coal industry. Coking coal is a key element in steel production and we will see coking coal exported through the years ahead as nations around the world continue to adapt to the renewable energy future.
But these fossil-fuel energy jobs are dwindling, down to 8000 at the last census. It's time these workers had responsible leadership and realistic policies at the national level to help them move into new roles and so their communities can adapt with a planned and just transition.
With unions and industry working with state and Federal governments and a Just Transition Authority overseeing the implementation of the right renewable energy policies, Australia can be a renewable energy super power. Now we only need the leadership and the ALP announcement is a big step in the right direction.

Overview Of Turkish War Of Independence History Essay
Posted on October 17, 2017 July 14, 2017 by admin
The Marmara sea resort town of Mudanya hosted the conference to set up the cease-fire on October 3, 1922. A°smet A°nonu , commanding officer of the western ground forcess was in forepart of Allies. The scene was unlike Mondros as the British and the Greeks were on the defence. Greece was represented by the Allies.
The British still expected the Grand National Assembly to do grants. From the first address, the British were startled as Ankara demanded fulfilment of the National Pact. During the conference the British military personnels in Istanbul were fixing for a Kemalist onslaught. There was ne'er any combat in Thrace, as Grecian units withdrew before the Turks crossed the passs from Asia Minor. The lone grant that Ismet made to the British was an understanding that his military personnels would non progress any further toward the Dardanelles, which gave a safe oasis for the British military personnels every bit long as the conference continued. The conference dragged on far beyond the original outlooks. In the terminal, it was the British who yielded to Ankara 's progresss.
The Armistice of Mudanya was signed on October 11. By its footings the Grecian ground forces would travel West of the Maritsa, uncluttering Eastern Thrace to the Allies. The understanding came into force get downing October 15. Allied forces would remain in Eastern Thrace for a month to guarantee jurisprudence and order. In return Ankara would acknowledge continued British business of Istanbul and the Straits zones until the concluding pact was signed.
Refet Bele was assigned to prehend the control of Eastern Thrace from the Allies. He was the first representative to make the old capital. The British did non let the hundred gendarmes who came with him. That opposition lasted till the following twenty-four hours.
The Abolition Of The Sultanate
The Ottoman sultanate was united with the Caliphate in 1577, and the Sultan 's will had gained an wholly theocratic character of all time after. This system of authorities enduring for centuries was a signifier of regulation which had no uncertainty seized the rights of the state reassigning the sovereignty of the state to a individual individual. The Parliaments inaugurated following the reforms of MeAYrutiyet I and MeAYrutiyet II ( i.e. the Constitutional reforms ) had non been durable, and the sovereignty had been kept in manus by the individual transporting the rubric of grand Turk and calif. The losingss suffered by the state due to this signifier of regulation were unimaginably great. In fact, this authorities which had exploited the ignorance and fanatism of certain circles in order to protect its ain being had recently become the most damaging enemy of the state. This authorities made attempts taking at undermining the national battle by coming to an understanding with the enemies ; by so making, it had condemned the state to decease and it had finally signed the Treaty of Sevres ; and all these had eventually led the grand Turk 's government even to high lese majesty. In malice of all these evil actions, the invitation extended- after the great triumph won in Anatolia- by the Entente Powers to the Sultan and his authorities to take part in the peace negotiations as if they had had a portion in this triumph, made it compulsory to get rid of this government every bit shortly as possible. As a affair of fact, all modern provinces were acquiring rid of monarchal authoritiess resting on the sovereignty of an single or group, and these provinces were processing towards republican governments resting on the sovereignty of the state. It was natural besides for the New Turkish State to follow this signifier of authorities. The Grand National Assembly eventually put an terminal to sultanate on 1st November 1922 by its historic determination which separated the sultanate from the Caliphate get rid ofing the former.
The grand Turk 's government became history upon the abolishment of the sultanate and the fate of the Turkish state was unconditionally entrusted to the state itself.
The Conference of Lausanne
On the day of the month of 22nd October 1922, the Allied States invited the TBMM Government to the peace conference to be organised in Lausanne. However, the Allied State had besides invited Istanbul Government to this conference. Under these fortunes, Ghazi had two of import jobs that should be resolved and even with emergent conditions for the declaration. The choice of the president of the commission that would stand for the TBMM Government and the declaration of the job in instance that the Allied States insisted upon their old sentiments and invited Istanbul Government to the conference.
The Conference of Lausanne was a conference held in Lausanne, Switzerland during 1922 and 1923. Its intent was the dialogue of a pact to replace the Treaty of Sevres, which, under the new authorities of Kemal Pasha, was no longer recognised by Turkey.
The conference opened in November 1922, with representatives from the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Turkey. The Grand National Assembly of Turkey selected A°smet A°nonu , Dr RA±za Nur and Chief Rabbi Nahum as their representatives. Lord Curzon, the British Foreign Secretary, was the co-ordinator of the conference and dominated it. France and Italy had assumed that, following the Chanak Crisis, British prestigiousness with Turkey would be irrevocably damaged ; they were shocked to detect that Turkish regard for Britain was undiminished, since British military personnels had held their places at Chanak while the Gallic had been ordered to retreat.
The conference lasted for 11 hebdomads. It heard addresss from Benito Mussolini of Italy and Raymond Poincare of France. The proceedings of the conference were noteworthy for the obstinate diplomatic negotiations of A°nonu . Already partly deaf, A°nonu would merely turn off his hearing assistance when Curzon launched into drawn-out addresss denouncing the Turkish place. Once Curzon was finished, A°nonu would repeat his original demands, unmindful to Curzon 's denouncements. At the decision, Turkey assented to the political clauses and the " freedom of the passs " , which was Britain 's chief concern. The affair of the position of Mosul was deferred, since Curzon refused to be budged on the British place that the country was portion of Iraq. The Gallic deputation, nevertheless, did non accomplish any of their ends and on 30 January 1923 issued a statement that they did non see the bill of exchange pact to be any more than a " footing of treatment " . The Turks hence refused to subscribe the pact. On 4 February 1923, Curzon made a concluding entreaty to Ismet Pasha to subscribe, and when he refused the Foreign Secretary broke off dialogues and left that dark on the Orient Express.
Treaty of Lausanne
After the ejection of the Allied forces and the Ottoman grand Turk by the Turkish ground forces under the bid ofA Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, theA Ankara-based authorities of theA Turkish national movementA Internet Explorer. Turkey, rejected the Treaty of Sevres that was signed by the Ottoman Empire.
Negotiations were undertaken during theA Conference of LausanneA at whichA A°smet A°nonuA was the main negotiant for Turkey.A Lord Curzon, theA British Foreign SecretaryA of that clip, was the main negotiant for the Allies, whileA Eleftherios VenizelosA negotiated on behalf ofA Greece. The dialogues took many months. On November 20, 1922, the peace conference was opened and after strenuous argument was interrupted by Turkish protest on February 4, 1923. After reopening once more on April 23, and following more protests by the Turks and tense arguments, the pact was signed on July 24 as a consequence of eight months of backbreaking dialogue. The deputation on behalf of the Allies included negotiants such as the U.S. AdmiralA Mark L. Bristol, who served as the United States High Commissioner and championed Turkish attempts.
The pact provided for the independency of the Republic of Turkey but besides for the protection of theA Greek Orthodox Christian minority in TurkeyA and theA Muslim minority in Greece. However, most of the Christian population of Turkey and the Turkish population of Greece had already been deported under the earlierA Convention Concerning the Exchange of Greek and Turkish PopulationsA signed by Greece and Turkey.
Merely the Greeks of Constantinople, A ImbrosA andA TenedosA were excluded ( about 270,000 at that clip ) , A and the Muslim population ofWestern ThraceA ( about 129,120 in 1923. ) A Article 14 of the pact granted the islands of Gokceada and Bozcaada " particular administrative administration " , a right that was revoked by the Turkish authorities on February 17, 1926. The Republic of Turkey besides officially accepted the loss ofA CyprusA ( which was leased to the British Empire following theA Congress of BerlinA in 1878, butA de jureA remained an Ottoman district until World War I ) every bit good asA EgyptA andA SudanA ( which were occupied by British forces with the stalking-horse of " seting down theA Urabi Revoltand reconstructing order " in 1882, butA de jureA remained Ottoman districts until World War I ) to theA British Empire, which had one-sidedly annexed them on November 5, 1914.
The destiny of the state ofA MosulA was left to be determined through theA League of Nations. Turkey besides renounced all claims on theA Dodecanese Islands, whichA ItalyA was obliged to return to Turkey harmonizing to Article 2 of the Treaty of Ouchy in 1912 [ 8 ] A ( besides known as the First Treaty of Lausanne ( 1912 ) , as it was signed at the Ouchy Castle in Lausanne, Switzerland ) following theItalo-Turkish WarA ( 1911-1912 ) .
The pact delimited the boundaries ofA Greece, A Bulgaria, andA Turkey ; officially ceded all Turkish claims on theA Dodecanese IslandsA ( Article 15 ) ; A CyprusA ( Article 20 ) ; A EgyptA andA SudanA ( Article 17 ) ; A SyriaA andA IraqA ( Article 3 ) ; and ( along with theA Treaty of Ankara ) settled the boundaries of the latter two states. [ 3 ]
Even though they were n't explicitly identified in the text of the pact, the definition of Turkey 's southern boundary line in Article 3 besides meant that Turkey officially ceded the districts to the South of Syria and Iraq on theA Arabian PeninsulaA which still remained under Turkish control when theA Armistice of MudrosA was signed on October 30, 1918 ; such asA Yemen, A AsirA and parts ofA Hejazlike the metropolis ofA Medina. These districts were held by Turkish forces until January 23, 1919.
Turkey officially cededA Adakale IslandA inA River DanubeA toA RomaniaA with Articles 25 and 26 of the Treaty of Lausanne ; by officially acknowledging the related commissariats in theA Treaty of TrianonA of 1920.
Turkey besides renounced its privileges inA LibyaA which were defined by Article 10 of theA Treaty of OuchyA in 1912 ( per Article 22 of the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923. )
The Treaty of Lausanne led to the international acknowledgment of the sovereignty of the newA Republic of TurkeyA as theA replacement stateA of the defunct Ottoman Empire.A The Convention on theA Turkish StraitsA lasted merely 13 old ages and was replaced with theA Montreux Convention Sing the Regime of the Turkish StraitsA in 1936. The imposts restrictions in the pact were shortly reworked.
Hatay ProvinceA remained a portion of theA Gallic Mandate of SyriaA harmonizing to the Treaty of Lausanne, but in 1938 gained its independency as theA Hatay State, which subsequently joined Turkey with a referendum in 1939.A SyriaA does non acknowledge the add-on of Hatay Province to Turkey and continues to demo it as a portion of Syria on its maps.
Constitution of the Republic
The business of some parts of the state by the Allies in the wake of World War I prompted the constitution of the Turkish national motion. Under the leading of Mustafa Kemal, a military commanding officer who had distinguished himself during the Battle of Gallipoli, the Turkish War of Independence was waged with the purpose of revoking the footings of the Treaty of Sevres. By September 18, 1922, the busying ground forcess were expelled. On November 1, the freshly founded parliament officially abolished the Sultanate, therefore stoping 623 old ages of Ottoman regulation. The Treaty of Lausanne of July 24, 1923, led to the international acknowledgment of the sovereignty of the freshly formed " Republic of Turkey " as the replacement province of the Ottoman Empire, and the democracy was officially proclaimed on October 29, 1923, in the new capital of Ankara. Mustafa Kemal became the democracy 's first President of Turkey and later introduced many extremist reforms with the purpose of establishing a new secular democracy from the leftovers of its Ottoman yesteryear. Harmonizing to the Law on Family Names, the Turkish parliament presented Mustafa Kemal with the honorific family name " Ataturk " ( Father of the Turks ) in 1934.
Turkey remained impersonal during most of World War II but entered on the side of the Allies on February 23, 1945, as a ceremonial gesture and in 1945 became a charter member of the United Nations. Troubles faced by Greece after the war in squelching a communist rebellion, along with demands by the Soviet Union for military bases in the Turkish Straits, prompted the United States to declare the Truman Doctrine in 1947. The philosophy enunciated American purposes to vouch the security of Turkey and Greece, and resulted in large-scale U.S. military and economic support.
After take parting with the United Nations forces in the Korean War, Turkey joined NATO in 1952, going a rampart against Soviet enlargement into the Mediterranean. Following a decennary of intercommunal force on the island of Cyprus and the Grecian military putsch of July 1974, subverting President Makarios and put ining Nikos Sampson as a dictator, Turkey invaded the Republic of Cyprus in 1974. Nine old ages subsequently the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus ( TRNC ) was established. Turkey is the lone state that recognises the TRNC
The single-party period was followed by multiparty democracy after 1945. The Turkish democracy was interrupted by military putschs d'etat in 1960, 1971, 1980 and 1997. In 1984, the PKK began an insurgence against the Turkish authorities ; the struggle, which has claimed over 40,000 lives, continues today. Since the liberalisation of the Turkish economic system during the 1980s, the state has enjoyed stronger economic growing and greater political stableness

Zhanxian - Chapter 435.2
Zhanxian
Chapter 435.2
Obviously, Yang Chen and his party were too cautious. During this time, the first city lord was retreating and cultivating. Without the second city lord, the first city lord was somewhat alone, but it brings another benefit.
The resources of the banyan tree immortal's cave were shared by two people and now that the second city master's whereabouts was not known, everything has become the property of the first city master. Relying on this alone, during these decades, the cultivation of the first city lord raised by a small realm and reached the peak mid dacheng stage. Therefore, the disappearance of the second city lord was not a bad thing for the first city lord.
The taste of power domination was far from being comparable to sharing with others. The kind of feeling that he controlled everything was also a medium that made the first city master more confident. And self-confidence often has a catalytic effect on spirit power cultivation.
But if anything was too much, once that level was exceeded, what was originally beneficial would become harmful. The monstrous power and exclusive resources have given the first city lord the incomparable confidence, but also inflated him incomparably.
Sitting on hundreds of thousands of monster races, it was almost possible to dominate the monster race. In the self-revelation of the first city lord, who was almost sitting in the sky and looking down on everything, the first city lord also naturally raised a self-respecting hegemony and there was also an arrogance in him.
In this world, who else could touch me? This thought was in his mind, so the first city lord has become increasingly unaware of who he was. In addition to this feeling of enjoyment, he has only to cultivate.
Since his realm has risen again. The first city lord no longer cared much about immortal cave's affairs. It was all handed over to a junior who he loved. And he himself started to strike the next level with all his strength.
During his retreat and cultivation, naturally he would not feel the movement outside. It was this that gave Yang Chen and Gui Shanyou the opportunity. When Gui Shanyou spent three years refining all the underground root systems of the banyan tree immortal's cave, no one in immortal's cave noticed.
During these three years, plus the one on the road before, Yang Chen did nothing else, except to cultivate, he just absorbed the fire seeds and merged it with the Yin-Yang Heaven Burning Fire. He also successively absorbed more than ten kinds of third-grade fire seeds. The power of the Yin-Yang Heaven Burning Fire was slightly improved.
While the iron was hot, the old tree demon certainly knew what to do. After taking control of all the underground root systems, the old tree demon began to attack the branches of the banyan tree immortal's cave.
The banyan tree has a benefit, in addition to the main root. There were countless aerial roots. These aerial roots were like thick branches, but they were not branches. The old tree demon started from these aerial roots.
Because it was not the main branch, the actions of the old tree demon did not attract too many people's attention. Everything was as normal within the banyan tree immortal's cave, there was no change at all, how could those who were having low cultivation base perceive the movement of the old tree demon. Only the first city master who might be aware was still retreating and cultivating. This was a great opportunity for the old tree demon.
Silently, countless aerial roots also began to be controlled by the old tree demon one by one, which also meant that the surroundings of the banyan tree immortal's cave started to fall into the hands of the old tree demon.
This process took another five years. After all the aerial roots were controlled by the old tree demon, there was only one trunk and leaves left in the banyan tree immortal's cave. At this time, the first city lord finally got out.
As soon as he left the gate, the first city lord habitually probed his territory with his spiritual awareness, just like a monarch patrolling his land and inspecting his people. But as soon as the spiritual awareness came out, it sensed something was wrong.
During his retreat, the banyan tree immortal's cave was inadvertently taken away, almost half of its control was gone and he was not alarmed at all. This time, the first city lord was surprised.
It was not uncommon for the monster races to be robbed of their immortal's cave, which was commonplace. However, they had to experience some earth-shattering battle, where was there such a silent posture?
"Where's the rat, why have you not showed up yet!" He angrily shouted and immediately it passed into the ears of all the monsters in the immortal's cave. Everyone stopped the movements in their hands and even many of the monster races in cultivation were tumbled by this shocking demon power and countless people spurted blood.
"I haven't seen you in a long time, first city lord have you been well all this time!" Yang Chen's voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the first city lord, just like an old friend joking, it was calm and gentle.
"It's you?" The first city lord suddenly became enraged. This sound, so familiar, was the damn guy he had collected all of the first wood spiritual solution. Even the life and death of the second city lord must be attributed to this guy. Now he was trying to snatch his immortal's cave unconsciously.
Hearing Yang Chen's words, it was not surprising that he could control half of the ownership of the immortal's cave in a silent manner. Even he and the second city lord couldn't cope with the first wood spiritual solution, Yang Chen could absorb all of them alone. This immortal's cave was very familiar to him, maybe it was originally from his ancestors.
But at this time, the first city lord would never have the initiative to return the immortal's cave to Yang Chen. The only thought in his mind was to kill Yang Chen. Revenge for the second city lord was of secondary importance, the key was to snatch all the massive amounts of first wood spiritual solution. The first city lord was a person who knows the preciousness of the solution, even if the wealth of the entire immortal's cave adds up, it was not as precious as those of the first wood spiritual solution.
"Get out here!" The lord of the city almost roared and his aura was released madly. All the monster races. in the immortal's cave were under his majesty's momentum. Some of them were having low cultivation base and they were already oppressed and on the ground, curled up in a ball and their whole body shook like sieves.
"The Lord of the city has such a big temper." Yang Chen's voice was still in the ear of the lord of the city, it was as clear as a face-to-face conversation
"I am waiting for you outside the city."
"Return my brother's life!" With the angry words of the first city lord, the figure of the first city lord has already appeared outside the cave and then immediately saw the figure of Yang Chen in the distance.
His spiritual awareness instantly locked on Yang Chen and the first city lord was very happy. He didn't consider why Yang Chen's trace was not noticed at the beginning and he rushed directly. This time, he didn't want Yang Chen to escape.
However, before waiting for the first city lord to attack Yang Chen's, an unusually sturdy body was blocked in front of Yang Chen. Hou Yun had already waited impatiently, he was about to use the first city lord to relieve his itch.

MONEYVAL report on Georgia: improvements in the Financial Monitoring Service powers to disseminate information to law enforcement authorities, but other deficiencies remain
Strasbourg 28/11/2022
Georgia has improved its measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing; it has demonstrated good progress and has been upgraded from "partially compliant" to "largely compliant" with the FATF (Financial Action Task Force) Recommendation 29, related to Financial Intelligence Units, concludes the Council of Europe's anti-money laundering body MONEYVAL in a follow-up report released today.
By enhancing the powers of the Financial Monitoring Service (Financial Intelligence Unit of Georgia) to disseminate information and results of analyses upon request and without a court order to all law enforcement authorities, Georgia has addressed a significant shortcoming earlier identified. Only minor shortcomings remain regarding a lack of explicit reference to require the Financial Monitoring Service to conduct operational and strategic analysis and the scope of the money laundering definition.
The report also examines a range of legislative, regulatory, and institutional measures, such as introducing a central electronic reporting for online casinos, requiring a clean criminal record for beneficial owners of casinos, making sanctions for AML/CFT (Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism) breaches applicable to casinos, as well introducing a broad regulatory framework for the investment fund sector. However, these measures were not sufficient to upgrade the ratings of Recommendations 22, 28 or 35, as moderate deficiencies in relation to the scope of covered designated non-financial businesses and professions and the sanctioning regimes remain.
Overall, Georgia has achieved full compliance with six of the 40 FATF recommendations constituting the international AML/CFT standard and retains minor deficiencies in the implementation of 22 recommendations where it has been found "largely compliant". Eleven recommendations remain "partially compliant" and one of them has a "non-compliant" rating (the recommendation requiring that countries review their laws and regulations to ensure that non-profit organisations cannot be abused for the financing of terrorism).
Consequently, Georgia is expected to report back to MONEYVAL on further progress to strengthen its implementation of AML/CFT measures in one year's time.
